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

I just can't wait for the inevitable LURK + LA merge or something like that. it will be like SUPER FUCKING AWESOME

Hopefully they leave OUT the Vaseline.

I'd like to see an AMK merge. Need some Russian magic.

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;42126185]Hopefully they leave OUT the Vaseline.[/QUOTE] just use the no bloom fix for it it looks great

So I've been playing vanilla SoC and have been getting these frequent spikes of framerate drops, which often result in the game freezing for bit. I've been getting them when running on low and medium, which are the only qualities I think I can run it on. Anyone know how to fix this?

Ive been playign Misery 2.02 for 7 hours straight yesterday and I love it. This is how stalker is supposed to be, coming back from a trip and having to choose wether you will repair your gear or eat ,anomaly fields that are 100% lethal without a full body hazard suit and super deadly mutants. I just think the repairs are a bit to retardedly expensive tough, but o well.

The -noprefetch launch command will help with that a bit.

Hello there I'm a regular just a regular Stalker fan, just as you. I wanted to invite you to join the project which will be explained in this message. -The Persistent Zone is a fan project that brings huge online community to already famous Stalker series. The mod itself is basically turning Stalker from a single player game, to an online one. Here are some features which may be created with your help: -Massive online world with huge community. -Remaking of all old models from Stalker game, you can count on me with this too -Evolving the Xray engine to be much more optimized and impressive -Recreating whole zone from scratch, adding tons of new details and with brand new textures -Clan wars, each player starts as a lone wolf but as he evolves, he may join any faction -Brand new HD interface which will use post apocalyptic theme but much better looking -Huge battles between players or enemies -Improved A-life -Survival -Scavenging -Brand new shooting mechanics -Skill tree -And much much more... I guess this sounds pretty good doesn't it? Well if you can join me, We can make this, I can offer a budget of 1000$ for this project as well as a professional modeler, artist and composer, contact me via steam or email if you are interested. Have a nice day! My email : [email]Sourceshift@gmail.com[/email] My steam : [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/sourceshift[/url] My skype : Vahinator

Hey Source! You're here! You traced me back to here? :) If not, still good to see you here. Gentleman, [B]SourceShift[/B] send me the reply above in a PM on moddb. My response was [QUOTE]Hey Source, As much as I'd like to recreate stalker in any engine, I can't be off help due to my own commitments. I have my own mods and games to take care of as I've actively been working for 2 studio's from time to time. Thanks for the consideration though, and let me know how things progress. I love seeing a fan-made STALKER inspired universe come to live :) Best regards, Kevin, aka LoNer1[/QUOTE] Although it's not possible to offer money to modders to enhance the game with / create a new one on Xray, because that's licensed, it actually IS possible to get going like Dez his group does.

[QUOTE=Sourceshift;42128379] My steam : Steamcommunity.com[/QUOTE] This all sounds awfully interesting, but I'm curious as to exactly how feasible you think this is. How much have you guys designed/created so far? [editline]9th September 2013[/editline] Neither the link to your steam account, nor to your twitter account seem to work, either.

What you want to would require heavy modification to the game engine itself, which while not impossible is still not well understood. Remodelling every asset in game would takes years, even with a team of professional, dedicated modellers, texturers, animators, riggers, concept artists, etc I don't want to rain on your parade, but really, try something easier to start with. Learn how to use the SDK. Start making small, but high quality mods. Build yourself a reputation in the community before you come telling people about your ideas for what's basically a whole new game.

Either list your skills here or in a PM to me on moddb. I'll guide you through your difficulties but I can't be there for you 24/7. I do enjoy working with people who know what they want.

I don't have steam or TS, just Skype. PM me it and I'll add you [b]edit[/b] Did not expect me to O: I always try and help :D I just want to make sure it goes into something which will be beneficial to either me or the other party. Like, I will learn how to do X stuff if I learn you how to do Y stuff etc.

hey sourceshift you seem ambitious, which is good, but what you're describing is not going to happen in X-Ray, full stop it just won't work, you don't have the engine source code and to actually do what you describe will be impossible without it [editline]9th September 2013[/editline] my advice is to put your efforts towards either making an awesome, more doable mod for CoP, or to do something on a different engine.
