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

Seems like it'd be useful for testing the engine/coding, except they forgot to take it out for the release version.

At least it's easy to say that if STALKER didn't crash, your problem's probably a variable error. Considering what the games are infamous for, when they're stable they're technically coded with the least bugs. :v:

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42367535]Yes, IIRC it was made like that on purpose. I don't get why though. I'd rather have the AI flip their shits when I'm playing than the game crashing because of a null error.[/QUOTE]It forces the developer, be it original dev or mod dev, to fix it, rather than letting the error fester and snowball. At least, that's the logic i've heard behind it and similar designs in game engines.

So it forces devs to be responsible. That's cool but when only wizards can overcome the worst of bugs it presents a high skill ceiling.

thing is that method of programming is fine, but when your error messages given when the crashes happen are either nonsensical, useless or wrong, it doesn't work as well as you'd hope...

My brother wants me to take him trick or treating so I thought I'd escort him as a bandit. Only problem is, I need a shoulder patch to complete the costume. The only sellers for these are in the Ukraine and the patch will not arrive until after Halloween. Does anyone know any local (American) sellers?

[QUOTE=teh pirate;42370060]Only problem is, I need a shoulder patch to complete the costume.[/QUOTE] None of the bandits ever wear the damn patch anyway so you'll be better off making a ganja leaf and sticking it to his patch or something. Not to mention the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. bandit patch is just a pretty generic skull so if you're really insistent on having it you could buy a cheapo skull armpatch in it's place, no-one'll be able to tell the difference either way.

I read that they ship from Europe, so it will still take a long time. I might have one custom made by an embroidery company or something.

After all the times i've played S.T.A.L.K.E.R i've just thought of something that I think not one mod does or anyone has though of. Why don't the enemies lean in this game like the player in combat? I'm playing vanilla though with mods they do this too, basically creep around corners pointing their gun and it looks retarded. Would be sick if someone made a mod where the enemies can lean.

[QUOTE=Clear_Strelok;42363492]Do not, I repeat, do not play the SHOC version. I've made this a long time ago and it's way too buggy today. Play OGSE or L.U.R.K instead. (If you are thinking about the CS and COP version, however, I invite you to take a look here to see If these have what you want: [url]http://www.moddb.com/members/clear-strelok/mods[/url][/QUOTE] I'm trying to play the CoP version of Reloaded and it always freezes whenever I try to start a new game. Any ideas why it might be doing that?

CoP: Reloaded worked fine for me, both retail and Steam version. Have you installed it correctly?

[QUOTE=teh pirate;42370060] Does anyone know any local (American) sellers?[/QUOTE] my good friend [URL="http://makarov92.deviantart.com/"]makarov92[/URL] makes them and sells them.

[QUOTE=ManRod;42372695]CoP: Reloaded worked fine for me, both retail and Steam version. Have you installed it correctly?[/QUOTE] I thought so. There's just the base and that one hotfix, correct? I'll just reinstall it when I get the time.

0.8 Beta then 0.8 Hotfix #1 to merge and overwrite your gamedata folder and you should be set.

Is there any mod that disables the HUD in Shadow of Chernobyl? The console commands don't seem to work in 1.0006.

Looks like some edited STALKER screenshots.

I say they're edited. Second gun/Kalash is.straight.out of Metro down to the glowy sights. All three locations should.be in X16, judging by inconvenient grunt corpses and the third pic.
