[QUOTE=dodo08;42697181]Just got back to play Stalker after long time. Which do you think is the best mod for Clear Sky?[/QUOTE] complete [sp]HUEHUHEUEHUEHUHUEHUEHUEH[/sp] all srs tho, [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/cs]this is a pretty good mod[/url] unofficial 'trailer' made by yours truly [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB7bi12VStw[/media]

I linked the wrong post, I meant my reply above. The question is not what's 'the best', rather what would [B]you[/B] like in a mod?

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42697369]Oh lol! I linked the wrong post, I meant my reply above. The question is not what's 'the best', rather what would [B]you[/B] like in a mod?[/QUOTE] Well it would be great some extra weapons and items, as well as improved gameplay, graphics and effects.

[QUOTE=dodo08;42697443]Well it would be great some extra weapons and items, as well as improved gameplay, graphics and effects.[/QUOTE] You could try Clear Skies along with particle paradise for CS. But, you should look in the mods link that someone linked a bit above.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42697455]You could try Clear Skies along with particle paradise for CS. But, you should look in the mods link that someone linked a bit above.[/QUOTE] Sure, I'll do it, thanks.

[QUOTE=dodo08;42697515]Sure, I'll do it, thanks.[/QUOTE] My recommendation is [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-cs-reloaded"]this[/URL].

So, for the past few days I've been messing around with learning CoP's SDK and so far everything has been okay which is probably because I haven't hit level compilation yet. Basically, I'm following a set of video tutorials where one MP level is used as a base and modified to include a bunch of stuff like smart_terrain, smart_cover, waypoints, etc. Then I screwed up the grass map and its all in this for now. [t]http://i.imgur.com/njfVpVy.png[/t] I've left the Valley of Whispers translation alone during this time, though I released a WIP version on the GSC forums a couple days back, which can be found [URL="http://www.gsc-game.com/main.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr3&thm_page=1&thm_id=5877&page=3&sec_id=18#113860"]here[/URL]. Yesterday I completed Clear Sky and found it to be not too bad as I expected it to be thanks to what I've heard, though it didn't feel like giving me the proper stalking feel of SoC and CoP. Screw the last two levels to hell, though, Hospital was too much of a corridor shooting experience for me and the NPP was disappointing as all hell and gave me a headache after I went through the portals, fought legions of grenades and some Monolith only to find out that Strelok has bugged to the floor level and is just standing and not minding how Lebedev's squad is making him swiss cheese. I threw a grenade at him to make him go to hell but that crashed my game. Oh well. Anywho, what I liked was the Red Forest and Limansk. Limansk, however, I found to be disappointing because it was so linear and it seemed like a great addition to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. if it were more open. What I plan to do is finally learn 0.7 SDK and other modding related info, take Limansk's map (which has been released as a CoP compatible map with only the actor spawn by some slav modder a long time ago) and modify it so that it's more of a proper map to stalk in. I drew up a quick sketch many hours ago on how it may be like. [t]http://i.imgur.com/pgYVFlh.png[/t] Edit: By the way, has anyone played Kingo's merge and is willing to share with us how's it like?

Beac's probably the guy to ask for this sort of stuff, he's got a lot of experience with the SDK and adding new level geometry. Have you looked at mp_limansk?

Ignore the tree textures as I had to use a placeholder instead due to the texture missing for some reason and me not being able to find it at the moment. mp_limansk [t]http://i.imgur.com/AeBVUwv.jpg[/t] limansk [t]http://i.imgur.com/5JVyc2c.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Ew9qexq.jpg[/t]

I may pop it back in and play that. I wish my retail and steam versions didn't share a fucking save folder. Any idea how I can change save locations for one?

So I take it nobody has any idea what's wrong with the MISERY mod on my end? I tried Google searching it but i can't find anything.

[QUOTE=Monolits;42700416]fsgame.ltx, modify $game_saves$ so that it points somewhere else.[/QUOTE] ahh! thank you so much.

So I'm pretty much stuck in misery 2.0. Can't check these two helicopter crashes because that blue screen bullshit kills me. I'm pretty sure it's the psy effect from a controller, but i can't see them [I]anywhere.[/I] I'm guessing that they're indoors or underground, but i can't get to them because there are walls and shit in the way. I've tried everything! Bumrushing, throwing grenades, smoking joints and using psy protect medicine, and I still get killed in like 3 seconds flat.

Is there a reason why TFW is crashing about every 30 minutes?

[QUOTE=kiloy;42706907]Is there a reason why TFW is crashing about every 30 minutes?[/QUOTE] It used to work fine for me but now I either get corrupted saves or just crash like you.

[QUOTE=kiloy;42706907]Is there a reason why TFW is crashing about every 30 minutes?[/QUOTE] Yes. It's TFW. Great fun, but about as stable as a game of jenga on a rollercoaster.

so i went on the internet and i found this [video=youtube;xlYSSzZcq6g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlYSSzZcq6g[/video]

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42706235]I've tried everything! Bumrushing, throwing grenades, smoking joints and using psy protect medicine, and I still get killed in like 3 seconds flat.[/QUOTE] At this point you could just edit the immunities section of actor.ltx and change the psy damage you take to be 0.0. If you've tried all the in-game solutions there's little shame in "cheating" to get past the problem spot.

Are you still stuck at Yanov? if your going into the Iron forest I can try to help you out. [editline]31st October 2013[/editline] I also want to start LP's for Misery, I'm having lots of fun. Whats a good capture software?

It might not be possible with your computer/internet, but in general they're a lot more fun than LPs.

Twitch?

Hard to find a active Stalker forum these days, I'm a admin from a little old site called The Zone Survival Guide 3.0. aka Svobodalith. After the fall of the Dawnrazor's original site, our head admin Dimitroff set up the Svobodalith. Since then it became a haven for stalker related role plays and the like, but as of late our membership has diminished to only about two active members besides myself. So if you have some time take a look around, join or post maybe or even add to the ever growing 3 word tome. [url=http://svobodalith.proboards.com/index.cgi]Svobodalith[/url]
