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

[QUOTE=Kirovich;42678933]I wonder whenever Lurk 1.2 is released, will Doom update his merge for SoC?[/QUOTE] Possibly, but Doom's be burned out on modding and merging for a while now. If you want something Doom's Mod Merge-ish, but with more weapons, you could try ZoA.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;42678948]Possibly, but Doom's be burned out on modding and merging for a while now. If you want something Doom's Mod Merge-ish, but with more weapons, you could try ZoA.[/QUOTE] Thanks. I'll look into it. I keep seeing it, but never really tried it. The magazine system seems a bit weird, but I'm down for the challenge. [video=youtube;a_L863AMacg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_L863AMacg[/video] Semi related. This chick has a lot of videos on Chernobyl and a lot of exploration into factories and rooms. Fairly crazy. She's picked up several highly radioactive materials. Like bits from the explosion and carried them around.

Y'know, I've always said that STALKER needs more Finnish firearms because of their aesthetics and effectiveness as weapons. Let me put it like this. The RK-95 is a hot blonde. The RK-62 is the hot blonde's equally hot older sister. The TRG is the sexy silent lone wolf. But the KVKK is the retarded accident between two siblings. And it's the sole reason why I have changed my mind about Finnish guns and stalker. Maybe just the two assault rifles and one bolt-action will be enough.

a zone in finland would be pretty neat finnish stalkers... i dig this.

[QUOTE=Pops;42681079]a zone in finland would be pretty neat finnish stalkers... i dig this.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure how I feel about this.

[QUOTE=Kirovich;42676616]Pretty sure it's a OL, AMK and Lurk merge and there may be other stuff, but I'm not 100% on that. IT should work with 1.0005/6.[/QUOTE] It's basically a gamedata backup from a build I used to play in which I merged all the mods together and made heaps of small gameplay tweaks that I liked. For example, you can use bread as a shitty bandage if you want. Also why do you all you guys start posting as soon as I go to sleep

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42681119]I'm not sure how I feel about this.[/QUOTE] i don't see what's so bad about it i mean looking at maps of finland and pripyat they aren't all so different imo [t]http://i.imgur.com/GsLFt9w.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/UT8mu5o.png[/t] finland would make an excellent stalker fan fic location for another zone. better than afghanistan or wherever it was in that southern comfort book.

Well if a game is made based by the book. Then it would be way more likely!

Can anybody recommend a good Clear Sky mod?

[QUOTE=kiloy;42681906]Can anybody recommend a good Clear Sky mod?[/QUOTE] TFW is probably the best CS mod, but it's a bit unstable. It's basically Freeplay faction war, but it adds a bunch of other stuff (new weapons, suits, a companion system).

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;42673690]God damn it misery. My save is useless now. Blowout, running towards cover and suddenly I get 3FPS and a face full of bandits, and when I reload the save. Suddenly I start to die no matter what from the blowout. Why is Misery the ONLY mod that makes even DX9 run like absolute ass. This is using Bangalores new DLL also and it's made no difference. I want to love Misery but so many things keep putting me back off it. :suicide:[/QUOTE] Today i quicksaved 0.1 sec before i died from bleeding. Everytime i would load the save, it would say "GAME OVER" already in the "PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE" screen. Fucking zombie sniped from a kilometre at the exact moment i wanted to quicksave.

[QUOTE='[Green];42680950']But the KVKK is the retarded accident between two siblings.[/QUOTE] I wonder why.... Oh yeah, it's because it was actually [I]designed[/I] by the gunsmith who "made" the RK-62 instead of just basically copy/pasted from the AK design with some improvements (the plastic furniture of the RK was more suited to finnish conditions than the wood furniture of then-AKs that would probably end up just rotting away). Fun little fact about the RK : the first prototypes made were actually very reminiscent of the KvKK you have posted there - the design ended being recycled for the light machinegun(source : Helsingin Sanomat) when he got ahold of the "banana guns" (the AK-47 / AKM). [QUOTE=Pops;42681079]a zone in finland would be pretty neat[/QUOTE] Relating to this there is / was an amateur film project called "Vyöhyke"(Zone) that has the Zone (unsure if it's more influenced by the novel or the game, probably the former(?) set in Finland but I'm unsure if the project has simply keeled over and died since I haven't kept any tabs on it.

In the XML file you can have a texture for 4:3 and 16:9. That is what I did ages ago in my mod merge and it pisses me off so much when others don't do it

[QUOTE=lafugix;42684297]because in this mod is not only winter locations:v:[/QUOTE] Weird. Also, the first shot ... it looks so different from the other 3. I could've believed the other 3, but the first looks like Gmod or something

i have a feeling there's some post-processing going on

[QUOTE=Muukkis;42683791]I wonder why....

While it's not a new design, I stand by my word in saying the RK family is the best AK variant I have ever laid my eyes on, real life or internet alike. The KVKK was a good example of bad design, but it doesn't mean Finns are bad at making guns. Look at Sako's massive arsenal of bolt-actions. Also I hear the military has gotten into cahoots with SAKO to develop a new assault rifle that won't be an RK. Instead it'll be using 5.56 NATO and be a new design, hell, the army already has prototypes or so I hear. I'm interested in seeing what it'll be like. Who knows, maybe it'll be so cool it'll be incorporated in STALKER 2 by the time both of them come out to the public. [sp]no amount of rainbows will be enough to rate my optimism right now[/sp]

Best SHoC Mod out there?

[QUOTE=VOSK;42685400]Best SHoC Mod out there?[/QUOTE] Opinions vary on this. There isn't really a 'best shoc mod' out there (with ZRP being held out of the discussion) What do you search for, is the better question? Grime? Realism? Lush envi's? Better sounds / gun models?

always makes me laugh when people ask for the 'best' mod for anything

[QUOTE=Beacon;42685449]always makes me laugh when people ask for the 'best' mod for anything[/QUOTE] Especially the discussion that follows between the conflicting parties. I've been in the middle of that today on a Battlefield 4 youtube video because of a simple comment why the experience on PC would likely be better. Gosh, some people :')

Realism, Something like Redux or Misery bit for SHoC.

[QUOTE=VOSK;42685686]Realism, Something like Redux or Misery bit for SHoC.[/QUOTE] There really isn't many "something like XXX" mods. Each one has it's own bits and bobbles that make it incredibly interesting. Realism though, Etcetera suggested I try Zone of Alienation. Has a magazine system, lacks a hud and seems pretty cool. Full freeplay, from my understanding. You could also try OGSME. quite difficult, but a great experience.
