[QUOTE=Artifact;42784835]well im putting together a 50's style russian propaganda poster, so the text would be more striking if it was the actual translation[/QUOTE]

Oh. Well you want an actual Russian speaker for that, not a slavaboo like me :v:

[SpeedyHeart]

Description:

[QUOTE]The artifacts are no longer visible/pickable. To detect them you'll need one of three detectors known from CoP: Echo, Bear or Veles. Each of them has unique properties:

1. preliminary range - a distance to the artifact in which the detector indicates its presence with sound
2. effective range - a distance in which the detector forces the artifact to materialise with the hissing sound known from CS/CoP
3. display mode - from none (just sound) for Echo, through pointer on the minimap for Bear, to artifact type icon on minipap for Veles
4. notification sound- different for each type of detector
5. Number of detectable artifacts. Echo detects only the simple artifacts. Bear can detect some more and Veles can detect all of them.

The detectors work only if put on the belt and held in the hand along with the bolt. If we hide it (eg. swith to binoculars) artifacts dematerialise again.[/QUOTE]

[etcetera]

Always nice to see new features added to SoC, though it'd be nice to see the detectors as a minimod by themselves. For the Veles, is that minimap as in the Veles' screen, or on the actual UI minimap?

[ForDaNords]

Can anyone here upload their xrCore.dll for me from the bin folder of shadow of chernobyl? I can't verify the file on Steam or else all my mods will get deleted.

[Seibitsu]

I need your help fellow Stalkers. Wanted to start Shadow of Chernobyl but when trying to change the resolution to 1366x768 the game just freezes with a black screen, any ideas?

[Loner]

Log please?

[B]Also, in other news[/B] ... I decided to upload the [U]ALPHA of PPx 2.2[/U] (without the gameplay additions, merely particles and artefacts) for the peeps to try out.

Here's the link; hope you'll enjoy (the artefact system needs HEAVY re-adjustment, I know) Do mind, this is 2 months of work.

Those NPCs... But the scientists are even worse. Do mods fix this? I know that some mods changed the ALife system back in SoC, but not sure about CoP as I never played that with any mod.

Also I never attacked anyone first in the game, until I saw this bandit called Jack with an Eleminator... He even had like 17.000RU with him, sold him all my medpacks and stuff before freeing him from the zone.

Holy shit dude you've got 60 medkits and 150 bandages
And I thought my loadout was excessive

[torekk]

And I didn't even had my exoskeleton then, gotta love hercules + energy drinks. But I play on the easiest difficulty, so I guess it's no wonder. And that's usually the only things I take from enemys: bandages, medkits and other drugs. Or when I'm low on ammunition, which somehow just happens to be with the sniper rifle ammo, always have to go back to zaton to buy some.

Fix what exactly ?
[editline]herp[/editline]
I take it you meant the fact that bandits are too friendly across the board and only shoot on sight if you get a certain achievement.
If that's the case there are A.I tweaks that make some simulated bandit squads hostile toward you but allow you to still interact with important bandit characters.
Personally I use just MSO (short for Massive Simulation Overhaul) for that purpose which also makes mercenaries and other riff-raff spawn in the maps and generally makes the A-Life much better. It's not save-compatible with vanilla though (as is the rule for most mods for stalker).

[QUOTE=Torekk;42796866]They literally stop to turn a few degrees or just walk around while their upper body is rotated like 90 degree.[/QUOTE]
That's one of the things that just [I]is[/I] about STALKER, I don't think any widely recognized mod has gone out to fix it.

Well this and mostly their movement, like the scientists walking around in the bunker. They literally stop to turn a few degrees or just walk around while their upper body is rotated like 90 degree.

All ready for the way to pripyat, once again. Also somehow I wasn't able to hire noah, he just gave me a second compass artifact when I payed him a visit, after greeting me as usual. :tinfoil:

And I must say, I really hate dwarfs, or better, searching my weapons after killing them with the knife.

[Vosk]

You were never able to recruit Noah, as far as I know.

[etcetera]

[QUOTE=VOSK;42801456]You were never able to recruit Noah, as far as I know.[/QUOTE]

I believe recruiting Noah was a cut feature. Though there's an unofficial patch around somewhere (in Russian) that re-enables him.

[Muukkis]

[QUOTE=Etcetera;42801635]I believe recruiting Noah was a cut feature.[/QUOTE]
I'd really like if GSC or Vostok Games would release the design document for Call of Pripyat. Or if some Vostok employees just would share some of the development things that the audience never got to hear about. Probably wouldn't be anything as interesting as the SoC / CS design documents since as I've understood it Call of Pripyat was the most "complete" game as in it didn't suffer a fate like Clear Sky where a lot of levels got cut out in their entirely (with some later recycled for CoP) but it would be kind of interesting anyway.

Hnnnnnnnnngh
It's made for the Russkie 1.6.0.2
I doubt it'll be compatible with my English release.

EDIT:
Actually seems like just the text files require translating, everything else should work.

Hell, at least try it with WW 1.6.0.2
And report back.

Finished Roadside Picnic this morning. Man, the whole novel is like a Stalker mod storyline.

I once left station with 72 medkit and 32 bandage. I returned with no medkit and no bandage. I was also out for days. Such is life in the zone (and when no one drops medkits)

[notgeogzm]

I lost my fucking page again while reading Roadside Picnic. This book hates me.

[Ajaxial]

[QUOTE=geogzm;42808063]I lost my fucking page again while reading Roadside Picnic. This book hates me.[/QUOTE]

Why don't you have a page marker or something? :v:

I should reread roadside picnic, been awhile since I last did.

[notgeogzm]

[QUOTE=LoNer1;42675376]True. I personally [B][I]detest[/I][/B] anyone who compares it with lets say titles like [I]Fallout[/I], Metro (has it's own vibe as well) and I've even seen people compare it with Far Cry (I wouldn't know why. Maybe because of the world? I really don't get some people)

It's unique. That's why I keep coming back to it. I've always thought that after a few years I'd be done with it but truth to be told, nope. I always keep coming back. For the vibe, mods, community and just the game itself!

I raise my glass of Vodka to you gents, for keeping our game alive and well![/QUOTE]

This is a bit late of a reply, but I'd compare it to Fallout in terms of gameplay when I describe it to somebody because you're progressing through a relatively open post-apocalyptic world and progressing through different groups of hostiles and questing around for things. In terms of atmosphere it could be compared to Metro 2033 or Roadside Picnic, they're all what I call 'anomaly thrillers' in my mind with similar atmospheres. Roadside Picnic (what I managed to read of it) by far felt like it had the most captivating and immersive atmosphere to me, although it did have the advantage of being a book with the capacity for description rather than a game where everything's visually represented.
