[QUOTE=Binladen34;42439726]Anyone know when the new version of LURK is coming out?

I also need some good new mods, preferably story mods. I've done Misery, not completely story driven but oh so much fun. I also did some mod for SHOC, but I can't remember the name.

So, as I asked, anybody got good total conversion mods? Mainly ones that have new stories. I've been dying to play some new stalker.[/QUOTE]

early 2014 it looks like currently

All you need to do is get a bigger size, then stick a snork head on the splicer. Then it'd be perfect.

Just finished Roadside Picnic and I have to say the Zone in the book seems much more hostile and mysterious. It legitimately felt like people were afraid of the Zone and hated it. I wish the STALKER Zone was more like in the book.

Also I went into the book completely blindly only having heard that it's related to STALKER. And it was a pleasant surprise that it turned out to be a Sci-fi book.

But why am I rambling here about some book I have no idea. Back to the Zone. Have a nice day fellow stalkers.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42439962]L.U.R.K.'s ETA is past mid 2014.

And I always recommend Priboi story for SHoC, great mod with a story that's almost like CoP's one. (very similar, yet the mod came out 2 years before CoP)[/QUOTE]

I remember playing alpha builds of priboi that got leaked a long long time ago. I never thought of getting back into it.

I really want to read this but i've hear that the English translations are pretty iffy, did you read an English copy of the book and if so, was it O.K?

Am I right?

[Muukkis]

Clear Sky's protagonist Scar was actually modeled vaguely after the looks of Alexander Kaidanovsky, the actor who played the stalker in the 1979 film.

Getting through that lab in Proboi Story was fucking crazy. Literally dozens upon dozens of proto-zombies all limping towards you in narrow ass quarters. Thank god for grenades and Hydroshok.

People of Facepunch,

I need an ideas guy :v: I want to expand upon the particle work I'm doing and truth to be told, I'm running out of ideas here. I already posted an article like the request I'm doing now on Moddb, [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-particle-paradise-3/news/suggestions4"]here[/URL].

So if you guys would like to fire the page up a bit (be it there if you have an account) or here (posting or through PM's), that would be [I]VERY[/I] appreciated. And as always, credit where credit is due

Cheers!

Never thought I'd hear of somebody needing an ideas guy

Normally it's the other way around

[Loner]

First, I like your avatar.

Second,

Yeah it usually is haha. Though, I always test shit out, it's part of who I am. But, after working with particles for over 4 years now and 'trying' stuff out, my imaginations grows weary :/

Hence why I need your guy'ses (idk how to write this please forgive me) opinions or ideas. What should I improve?

I already did:

Artefacts
Muzzle Flashes
Anomalies
Shell ejection particles (both left and right)
Static effects (steam, distortion etc.)
Weather effects (bigger fog, more stable, new flies etc.)

So yeah, what's there left to include? I want it to be a total particle overhaul so ... let me know what you think is necessity for in the zone :)

[croguy]

Oh oh! I always wanted to see thick dust particles and whatnot. Everything seemed cleaned in some of the abandoned environments.

Been there, done that :v: Or do you mean specifically in the buildings, like static dust particles etc?

SHOC with CoP Pripyat map(dont mind the FPS, i was mostly trying out the Global Illumination cvar)

Also, I've been experimenting with different anomaly effects in the past. I want to create new / enhanced anomalies mostly. They'll vary in particles, [I][B]based upon their strength[/B][/I];

So yeah, I've got some things to work on. But I want more, you know? The ultimate compilation :) And I know you guys are picky, hence why I'm asking here (GSC is kinda dead as well)

[croguy]

I was thinking interior dust. So if somebody would run through a building he'd lift a faint cloud behind him.
