S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians - Games

It's a good thing I finished my SoC AMK stream the day before this patch came out, otherwise that would have cut me short. Moving on to stream CoP now. Got 30 minutes in, game entered crashing loop. Such is life in the X-ray Engine.

ZoA is too fucking dark, what to edit in shader settings so i actually have sun and green color and brigthness. It's all grey at 2pm ffs

[QUOTE=Danny.B;42107182]ZoA is too fucking dark, what to edit in shader settings so i actually have sun and green color and brigthness. It's all grey at 2pm ffs[/QUOTE] It could also be the weather settings. But, didn't you say you installed MAX shaders? Shouldn't have a colour filter iirc. Kingo might be of use to you more than I am, I only know stuff about Meltac and my shaders

I honestly struggle to see people further than 20m at mid day, thats really bad [url]http://i.imgur.com/kqmZ0a1.jpg[/url] This is how it looks even without rain

Oh damn, that's just grayscale. If I weren't on my mac now I'd look into the max files for you, because this is indeed shader related iirc. Just wait for Kingo, he'll be able to help I hope [b]edit[/b] Etc. to the rescue!

Nah I had that same thing with the pre fucked up patch. The weather is pretty fucked up.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42106627]I think you meant "r2" here? He wants to keep the FDL on, so it's r2, not r1 :)[/QUOTE] Whoops, yep that'd be right. I posted that when I woke up and wasn't in any sort of analytical mood, that's why I copied and pasted those commands from Tweak Guides. [editline]7th September 2013[/editline] Also did Etc's solution work? If not, paste your Shader settings file in [noparse][code][/code][/noparse] tags and I'll have a look at it for ya.

There's a fix for it in the patch's optional folder.

Oh jesus I really can't play SoC anymore, even with mods. Always the same levels and the same missions. I have to do that one-man army attack on the army base in agroprom before I can do anything in the game.

Yeah I could continue soup where I left off but it's just too much imo. If I wanna go to the new levels I have to follow the storylines which are crazy as shit and you don't know where to go unless you look at the guide every 2 minutes.

Lost Alpha

[QUOTE=Garik;42107894]Lost Alpha[/QUOTE] Don't we all? I mean, how long have each and every of us been waiting? Trust me, wanting it and telling us the rest of the mods aren't what you seek isn't going to speed the process up. It's GSC we're talking about, the valve of the east. I'd recommend you to do the same as I do, [I]forget about it[/I]. Then, one day, you'll check the page and you'll be lucky enough to be able to download it. You may not be the first, but from my view-stance this isn't a competition :) I used to check the page 10 times a day, always commented first and that brought me nothing. Also, you could try out old story restoration?

God, that UI is awful imho.

Okay got a crash when going underground from Agroprom with ZoA Goodbye sweet prince, the cordon and garbage levels were fun, but too much CTD's and issues, I'll just wait for a stable release

<initiate_rant> It starts to look like more mods want to pump out more and more content by the day, but this goes in sacrifice of the quality. I mean, take NS/SMP 3.5. NS: Loads of content, horribly unbalanced and looks kinda off in some times. (some being really, really gently used here) SMP3.5: Stack Trace - Out of memory New L.U.R.K. (inb4 vaseline) without the weird weather effects: Best quality weapon models, awesome gameplay features and probably best sound engineering in Xray ever. Will prolly become a base for many other mods. And CoP mods like Shoker and Gunslinger. They both have amazing features (albeit shoker has some goofy ones as well) and they're taking their time with their updates. And then you have mods that take stuff from others, compile it into 1, add some rough texture work on top of it with a custom main-menu and call it "xXx_3lite_modpackk2k13_xXx" and pump out updates every week. Imho the quality of mods is degrading. Also I didn't forget OGSE, it's also pretty damn amazing. Same goes for 'Path to The Zone' and RADIATION. </initiate_rant>

Guys I want to go through the STALKER games again but in chronological order so what Mods do you recommend for Clear Sky? I've heard that Clear Sky: Reloaded is very good.

[QUOTE=ManRod;42108164]Guys I want to go through the STALKER games again but in chronological order so what Mods do you recommend for Clear Sky? I've heard that Clear Sky: Reloaded is very good.[/QUOTE] Try Clear Skies. I've heard it's quite pretty and fun, albeit it's still in alpha. Also, are you reposting your question because it was left unanswered? Oo
