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

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40321937]Is there anyway to enable grass shadows in Call of Pripyat? Also if anyone can post that grass distance patch for future use would be nice. [editline]18th April 2013[/editline] Doom'sFreeLURK on Rasputinator's blog is gone, anyone has a alternative link?[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.1337upload.net/file/21690[/url]

Well this is embarrassing. I needed to enable user.ltx as "true" in the fsgame.ltx file. Glorious wet surfaces I've heard so much about. [IMG_Thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/jUEYgD.jpg[/IMG_thumb] And those shadows I know and love from SoC. [IMG_Thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/jgLSSc.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Shame the damn grass doesn't match the ground texture.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;40322376]We need a Duty challenge. Howabout: 1. PCP (it's made of pure fascism) 2. SoC on Master, People Soup 3. Birthday suit 4.

"Oh hey Skull, you know that attack you were planning? You can cancel it."

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;40322875]It's pretty crashy for me since I've only got 2 GB of RAM, but I save enough to get around that.[/QUOTE] How do you manage with that? Even my laptop has 8GB RAM.

So I started Doom'sFreeLURK, picked Military. Started out in Cordon. Thinking "Oh I am so cool, I'm the Military, I'm THE FORCE in the Zone." So, I decided to raid the Rookie Village with 2 of my army buds, the rookies fought back, hopelessly, but still managed to take my buds down. Suddenly there was a stalker, in a Sunrise, go down from the hill and hit me with 2 mags of Makarov, but that was not enough to kill a mighty Military. I killed him within 4 shots to his torso. He fell down, like a true hero the Rookie Village needs. After killing him, I took cover behind a tree, leaning over and saw Wolf with 2 Rookies welding TOZ and BM-16. I put Wolf down with a shot in the head. He fell on his knees, lied his head on the ground, and then closed his eyes. The remaining Rookies, without Wolf's help, were scattered around the Village, but still aiming toward me. They were furious, but couldn't do anything except running up and down. I finally shot the 2 Rookies, 2 bullets to the back of each. Strangely, they fell right next to Wolf.. Out of nowhere, my radar ticked, showing 2 more contacts near the fireplace. So I went behind the houses on the left to see if it was an ambush. Getting closer and closer to the fireplace, the red dot appeared on the radar, but not moving. I leaned over a wooden plank, and saw this: [t]http://puu.sh/2Cicc[/t] A Rookie, named Borka Rosh, sitting in the rain, next to the fireplace, knowing he probably was the next to die. That could be his first day in the Zone, he was looking for protection, a safe place for a rookie, someone to trust, and I took all of them away from him. [t]http://puu.sh/2Cicn[/t] Another Rookie, he was sleeping in the house, had he been sleeping all along, without knowing someone was trying to kill him? Or he was too depressed after Wolf's death, that he didn't care about what was about to happen anymore? I couldn't pull the trigger on these guys, so I left the Village, on the way out, I saw 2 more grunts, holding 2 AK-74 and were heading towards the fireplace. "Oh no no no" was what going through my mind then, I didn't want to kill the rookies, but at the same time, I couldn't kill my army buds. Not knowing what do do, I quitted.

Is it still worth buying Northern Passage? I enjoyed Southern Comfort, but I was thinking that the author said a while ago that he had to change stuff because of copyright issues. I haven't really followed up on it though, so I'm not sure if it got changed back.

Learning to play the campfire guitar tracks. And they're hard. Also, this is very interesting: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/578986940880044109/14E147105E41FE84CBCFD2F7CBF2F2331D0DC730/[/t]

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;40324107]How do you manage with that? Even my laptop has 8GB RAM.[/QUOTE] Because I'm poor and I either deal with it or don't play anything fun. [editline]18th April 2013[/editline] Plus upgrading this PoS isn't worth the money, it'd be cheaper and easier just to build a new one.

Does anyone know how to fix the crashing when entering the swamp with stalker soup?

I've reinstalled SoC again and need a freeplay mod. Anyone got any reccomendations? [sp]Maybe I should get Complete, I've heard that's a fantastic mod and is the best out there. /sarcasm[/sp]

[QUOTE=Playguy;40329708]I've reinstalled SoC again and need a freeplay mod. Anyone got any reccomendations?[/QUOTE] Doom's Mod Merge is a fairly good alternative [editline]herp[/editline] features : -removes story -at the start you can name your character and what faction you want to be, the game then spawns you to their base with an appropriate loadout -A-Life is very unrestricted and uses the extra level changers so there will be very much new unexpected situations -L.U.R.K. weapons and gunplay -some graphical enhancements like panoramic mod (?) and textures -sleep function added If you don't like the idea of having LURK weapons or other extra stuff Doom's Merge is based on Xiani's Freeplay Mod.

Is this one Doom's Merge for SoC? [url]http://www.1337upload.net/file/21690[/url]

Wanting to try a mod for CoP besides Redux, since the recommended mods link is broken atm, not sure which ones to use. Misery looked interesting as did reloaded, thoughts?

Downloading Doom's for SoC now. During my playthrough of the game, it seemed a lot more linear and story-based than CoP, of which I'm more familiar. Hopefully Doom will reacquaint me with pure STALKER freeroamingness.

Are there any little mods for Shadow of Chernobyl that make the scope textures look not like shit?

So... I was playing, alright [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/540705296380695932/E4FDD0468F6C57DCFAE1F9D9285C2A7EFC8144D8/1024x768.resizedimage[/img] [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/iRunner_1366429367.jpg[/img] [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/iRunner_1366435125.jpg[/img] [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/iRunner_1366376074.jpg[/img] "Friends" [sp]How does this even happen?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Araknid;40311573]I'm guessing its not possible but is there a way to make it so different items have different colours? That way you can do something like faction colours for item, so Merc items would be dark blue, Freedom items would be dark green, Duty items would be dark red, monolith items would be brown or grey or something. It's probably just wishful thinking.[/QUOTE] Didn't LURK have different backgrounds for weapons with different ammo types or something? I might just be misremembering [QUOTE=Beacon;40331841][t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3676303/Redux v2/xrEngine-2013-04-19-00-31-11-45.png[/t] [I]A companion image to the recent 'Duty Calls' - Freedom have a recruiter in the Skadovsk as well![/I][/QUOTE] If there's no volumetric smoke in that room I'm going to be disappointed

In Doom's Mod Merge, is there a trader in Pripyat for when I decide to be a Monolith?

[QUOTE=dedo678;40338353]In Doom's Mod Merge, is there a trader in Pripyat for when I decide to be a Monolith?[/QUOTE] Down the basement at where you start. Start > Turn left > Go straight (down) > keep going down > A room with 2 Monolithians

Is there a sleeping or bedroll mod I can use in conjunction with the Merged Mod? I tried downloading one but it overwrote several files and made the game crash on loadup.

I will assume that you're playing Doom'sModMerge for SoC. It has its own sleeping bag, so you don't have to install external minimod.

Since it's Friday, you can all have a free sandwich on me. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/90sqvvO.jpg[/IMG] Have a good weekend. :)
