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

[QUOTE=Beacon;42128801]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.[/QUOTE] What exactly? the main thing I want to do is just make it online, and that can be made by modding the multiplayer of the game. Loner, why wont you accept?

What Beac said. Try and adjust your ambitions to your situation. Start something small, build upon that. When you notice you're getting some attention, try and ask people's help. The more attention you get, the more people will be interested in helping you and checking your stuff out. Look at Redux and MISERY. Both great mods with a great (opinions on this differ but from my viewpoint both have their ups / downs) communities behind one. [editline]9th September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sourceshift;42128816]What exactly? the main thing I want to do is just make it online, and that can be made by modding the multiplayer of the game.[/QUOTE] Which is dead and clunky. I don't think you'll have much succes there because you need the sourcecode first to fix all of the horrible issues STALKER online has.

[editline]9th September 2013[/editline] What I'm trying to do here is that little thing, which will start with one small feature, being online, maybe with a lot of bugs but it will get attention and updates which will add a lot of new features. Example [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u2tiF_DNjs[/url] [editline]9th September 2013[/editline] Right now I will start creating huge maps for the mod.

[QUOTE=Sourceshift;42128816]What exactly? the main thing I want to do is just make it online, and that can be made by modding the multiplayer of the game. Loner, why wont you accept?[/QUOTE] you can't just 'make the game online'

[QUOTE=Beacon;42128893]you can't just 'make the game online'[/QUOTE] Indeed, I will be slowly developing the mod turning it online, from small 2 player servers to, for example 1000 guy server

what do you even mean? do you know how to do that? do you know how to modify the engine to support 1000 players, NPCs, mutants, blowouts, missions? nothing you've said or shown so far tell us you have any idea what you're doing or how to actually do it :/

Right now I'll start learing SDK and posting the results, who knows, I may get attention.

There aren't enough rainbows in the world that this guy deserves. Maybe if he was Russian he could pull it off, but otherwise I just can't see him wizarding this into existence. I mean there have been a lot of things we thought to be impossible on Xray that wizards made happen. If anyone could even remotely have a chance at cracking this idea, it'd be a group of black mages.

[QUOTE=Sourceshift;42128980]Well actually I kinda am Russian citizen[/QUOTE] Well shit, I take it back. As long as you run on nothing but vodka you'll probably design such fashion that even Thorny will be blinded by all the bling and dazzle.

I kind of feel like if it could've been done, the Russian wizards would've done it/tried to by now, but on the other hand it'd probably take a long time to do, too.

[QUOTE=Sourceshift;42129002]the fact that I'm Russian citizen doesn't mean that I'm Russian, Im georgian and I live there.[/QUOTE] Well, shit.. there goes our hope for wizardry :/ All jokes aside, this won't happen. No offense, but you sound like the typical ideas guy that thinks he can make shit happen just by having an idea and trying to recruit some guys. Show us what you can do by yourself and maybe we'll show support, because from what I've seen you work is (ehhm...) subpar to say the least.

Echoing what others have said here : You seem to have motivation and that's all fine but you need to asses what you realistically can and can not achieve. What you [I]could[/I] do however to contribute to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community is like Beacon said, making things like new levels or assets that can be used by others in the modding community. Things like converting previously SoC exclusive maps to CoP / CS engine or making new maps for CoP / SoC would probably be greatly appreciated by modders.

if you can model, I'd happily take you on to help make exciting and groundbreaking assets for Redux.

I wonder what Lost Alpha: Soup will be like.

Find what you're good at and try and either share something of it or test it in your own compilation and release it :)

The mod will be Called "Im stuck". Right now I'm building maps LONER ACCEPT THE INVITE ON SKYPE

I'm in school now so I can't talk, but i'll accept it.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;42129321]:stack trace blue screen memory crash.[/QUOTE] nah [U][I][B]PROPERRR[/B][/I][/U] memory allocation + [B][U][I]PROPER[/I][/U][/B] multi core support for the win. My list of possible merges: L.U.R.K. + Lost Alpha OGSE + Lost Alpha AMK 2.0 + Lost Alpha Particle Paradise + Lost Alpha Photo Realistic Zone 2 + Lost Alpha RADIATION + Lost Alpha Autumn Aurora + Lost Alpha + some more

LA will be fun the first time but I seriously want to see the economy/gunfights to be like in Soup after a while.

The last one is 1.4.1 And 2.0 for CoP is scrapped.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;42129529]What? The last one is 1.4.1 And 2.0 for CoP is scrapped.[/QUOTE] Really? From the vids they looked a lot like SHoC (lighting wise etc.)

[QUOTE=Sourceshift;42129254]The mod will be Called "Im stuck". Right now I'm building maps LONER ACCEPT THE INVITE ON SKYPE[/QUOTE] What do you mean 'building maps?' anyway?

Damn, I just remembered how I was kinda pissed off by Clear Sky when I got it. You could see everything on the map, mutants and enemies and friendlies and neutrals, everything. The fact that blowouts were insta-kill and pretty much only occurred when changing levels. And the a-life felt very boring as well. But I really liked the levels how they were expanded and such. Would really like to see the CS levels ported to SoC.

Can anyone recommend me a good SHoC mod? Played L.U.R.K, Complete and Lost Alpha so looking for something new.
