This I don't like ... (copyrighted material, the mod might become a target for EA and DICE if it gains a lot of attention)[/QUOTE]
I doubt EA would mind against a mod using their models and textures, it would only be a concern if you using it for profit, I believe using it for a non-profit modification comes under fair-use and Garry's Mod has had BF3 content in its mods for ages and I have heard nothing.
Meanwhile in Shoker Mod v2
Flare Gun

What about the copyrighted material in Misery? :P More likely that'll be a target since it's already so in the public eye. Especially when asking for donations ;)
Also I was on Skype today and never saw you on, but I'll be back tonight so maybe I'll catch you.

But now some textures for NPCs appear completely black, no matter what I do with the act texture folder. It drives me up the wall, and makes some enemies nearly impossible to see at night. If you know of a fix, i'd very much like to know.

pretty sure I have the coolest girlfriend in the world, at least now the Zone will have at least one female stalker~~~[/QUOTE]
FUCK. YOU. All I can afford is a trip to Romania and one to France, both paid for by my school. :(

Found something at modpage.
[QUOTE] was able to fix the bug, by simply using the version 8.1 "act" textures, everything looks and runs fine now.[/QUOTE]
Give it a try.
So I was playing misery 2.0.
And I was spawned somewhat close to the old farmstead(zombie teritory), so I had the brilliant idea of checking it out, seeying if I could find some ammo, or stashes. I get there and after going past a hill I was facing a god damned zombie, Killed it and got the attention of almost every zombie close by, panicking I get into one of the buildings, cornored I managed to find my way into the attic of one of the smaller houses.
Now I'd done it, now I was completely trapped, no way down that didnt involve going trough the zombies, so naturally I started shooting them down with little ammo I had with me, and before I knew it, I was out of ammo, so, found a crack in the wall and legged it but it was too quiet, not a single zombie outside to greet me.
I inspect the house where I was in and I find this.

Is it even WORTH IT ;~;
Beac,
Girlfriend probs. My bad
I wonder how LA development is going....last time I checked they had this artifact mixer, RPG features (Skills in the PDA), online chat with NPC's, the car trunk, etc etc.
What happened to all these features, I just want to see them. Oh, and I love the fact that if you don't bother the military inside the zone they won't bother you and what's more (and better),[B] at least you get the chance to help them, just like the description of the "military stalkers" in the official STALKER [/B]webpage.
[QUOTE]Soldiers who took special training after service in the Zone,[U][I] or stalkers contracted by the army.[/I][/U][/QUOTE]
EDIT: Can someone please explain to me what happened in the end with STALKER 2 development? I know it's on hold for sure, but I didn't quite understand what happened. All I remember is an article over at Rock paper shotgun saying that someone from GSC had to cancel or put on hold the project because someone else wouldn't give more money. And now this someone else doesn't want to give away the STALKER franchise etc etc. And as a result, some devs left GSC and started making Survarium.
Found some very nice ambient music in the files of ZoA, nice to actually use while playing stalker in a camp.
-Edit-
No matter, VLC tells me if I view the properties.
Also about the copyrighted MISERY content;
Yeah, forgot :v: Hectic IRL problems seem to pile up fast! Wish I still had some time to venture into the zone, but no. Prison calls (yay, everyone's going back to school here ... including me)

Sorry to hear that dude, just hit me up when you've got some time :)

It's been a long time since I left school, I still remember the day we left and we hung our ties on the school gate.
I played stalker then and I still do today, that is when you know a game stands the test of time.

From the Survarium devs' interview I gathered that they had the investor, they had the money but when presented with the plan of the game, Sergei Grigorovich who owns the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I.P said that the project is on ice indefinitely and he didn't even specify a reason for the team. After the split all GSC (not the Survarium team which was basically their entire development team for STALKER 2 but the I.P owner and the "shell" of the company that runs the merchandise and book divisions) said that the STALKER 2 project hasn't been killed but it's just being preserved until S.G decides he wants it to happen, gets off his ass and finds a dev team. After the plan of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was rejected, the team went for a plan B which was making S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 into the F2P MMOFPS concept that their current project "Survarium"(which reuses a lot of slightly modified art assets and models made for stalker 2) until Sergei said that nope you won't get a chance to do that unless he gets 2(?)million dollars for the use of the I.P which the team's investor was not happy about. So the team said screw it, formed Vostok Games and started working on Survarium which is just their F2P Stalker 2 backup plan with altered names.

basically sergiy was unhappy with the team, and not satisfied that S2 would be good enough, so he wasn't willing to fund it any more

I've failed a year of school because of stalker, yet i managed to climb back up the ladder again after the dip and i still am playing it till this very day. Heh, I got stalker at the launch date, my dad dropped by the local game store to wake me up at the age of 11 with a brand new and fresh stalker cd, this at around 1 am. I jumped through the house and i still do :v: CD's break, but love doesn't break!
they don't need any investors it was never a matter of money, sergiy funds it all (he's obscenely rich now) and it was purely because he didn't want to use the current dev team
the dev team then couldn't go elsewhere but keep making S2 with other funding, as sergiy refused to let them purchase the game rights.

speaking of which though, would be interested to see what's happening with the 'Stalker' IP right now
GSC still owes the rights to them iirc, that's what Dez said
Sergei sounds like a massive cunt.
God a new stalker game with the feel of the originals but the polish of something like Metro 2033/LL would be fucking amazing.

I've been looking at this engine;
[url]www.indiedb.com/engines/s2engine-hd/news/s2engine-hd-145-beta-free-for-all[/url]
I wonder, would it be illegal for a fan team to make a new stalker game, but call it "STALKER" instead of "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." with some other subtitle, and take the mutant designs and faction names and change them a bit?
iirc that's basically what The Dark Mod for Doom 3 did to avoid legal problems with the Thief franchise - while other shit had been shut down they were never even touched, and they did things like change the name of "hammerites" to "builders" and stuff like that.
[QUOTE=LoNer1;41976965]GSC still owes the rights to them iirc, that's what Dez said[/QUOTE]
owes the rights to who?
he doesn't owe anyone anything, he's sole owner of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. IP
I don't think it would be undoable. It's already been done several times, some games flawed and some rose into stand alone projects (with Russia 2028 being one of them)
Also, best installer for a mod ever:
