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

You have the 1.0006 patch? Does anybody know what the name of this song is? [video=youtube;VqLUyypXnzQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqLUyypXnzQ[/video] It's also in the 2004 STALKER "behind the game" trailer

[QUOTE='[Green];43582683']I crashed on startup with Autumn Aurora 2 and it didn't even give me a crashlog, just said XR_3DA stopped working. Now this is strange, I had a pure installation, put on the 4GB patch, then used the setup with English files, 83 FOV and 200m grass distance then applied common gamedata patch and after that Full Dynamic Lighting gamedata from the .2 patch.[/QUOTE] It's because of sweetfx Either delete it or turn off steam ingame

I got OLR 2 working, but starting a new game and when it gets to Synchronising... Expression : error handler is invoked! Function : handler_base File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\xrDebugNew.cpp Line : 753 Description : std: out of memory

Function : handler_base File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\xrDebugNew.cpp Line : 753 Description : std: out of memory[/QUOTE] All I can suggest is to switch all visual settings to the lowest, though you can start by reducing grass density/draw distance as it is usually the main cause for such an error.

now to figure out what grass draw distance is in russian so I can find the right slider

I think grass is one of these two [t]http://i2.minus.com/i7NI3krlYFmi1.png[/t] At least when I raised them up it took a while to resume the game and there was a ton of grass and I was getting 4 fps.

ok well I did it and tried the first 5 mins, but oh my god it's unintelligible gonna have to wait for a translation on this

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;43582880]I think grass is one of these two [t]http://i2.minus.com/i7NI3krlYFmi1.png[/t][/QUOTE] First one marked is density, second is draw distance. Edit: Whoops, too late.

[QUOTE=Beacon;43582927]ok well I did it and tried the first 5 mins, but oh my god it's unintelligible gonna have to wait for a translation on this[/QUOTE] It's still pretty fun to explore though, the levels are huge and have multiple exits, I've just been clicking the russian till I get quests from sid and it's worked so far. The second quest you have to go north to the garbage and kill a bandit to get some weird ball artifact from him - though that was probably pure luck that I managed to do that since there was no marker. Also, I was vehemently opposed to enabling combat music for a long time, but actually listening to this stuff it ain't half bad [video=youtube;fS1NiceTQ00]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS1NiceTQ00[/video] Found the Lost Alpha trailer song :D [video=youtube;zu9_IK9a8jQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu9_IK9a8jQ[/video]

Hey gents, I'm looking into restarting (again...) CoP. My previous attempt was with Misery, which was an enjoyable experience, but slightly too "hardcore" for a casual run. I mostly want to finally go through CoP and explore all the areas without having to worry about too many peripheral stuff. How does that sound : COP Complete A few weapon mods : [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/cop-original-weapons-renewal[/url] [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/arsenal-overhaul/images/glock-21#imagebox[/url] One thing that worries me is that Complete doesn't seem to support the last Atmosphere release. Am I missing out on some crucial addons? I appreciate any guidance on the matter.

Did a small test to see whether or not I can get English text to work with OLR 2.0 and it actually didn't crash a billion times when doing so. [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/3/2382/2381753/ss_ralfs_01-18-14_22-02-08_lvl1_escape.jpg[/t][t]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/3/2382/2381753/ss_ralfs_01-18-14_22-00-05_lvl1_escape.jpg[/t] And only now did I notice a couple few mistakes in the text.

Complete is a very old and somewhat crude merge of several mods, most of which have newer, better, more stable releases. OWR and Arsenal Overhaul are unlikely to play well with each other, unfortunately. I'm not very up to date with the modding scene at them moment, but I suggest some combination of the following: [B]Graphics[/B] Absolute Nature 3 Atmosfear 3 Absolute Structures Particle Paradise 3 Variation Mod (if not already included in the weapon mods) [B]Weapons: [/B]OWR or Arsenal Overhaul [B]Gameplay: [/B]MSO AI Tweaks or Pripyat Reborn (that's what it's called, right?) There may be some crossover here, I haven't done much research. Google around for how to merge them together, I think you can find some patches somewhere.

It makes the game easier, buggier, and is extremely outdated. If you're looking for graphical improvements, you might wanna check out AtmosFear 3 and Absolute Textures. For guns, OWR is a really good choice but I doubt it's compatible with Arsenal Overhaul without some tweaking. As a final touch to the game, I would get either MSO or Pripyat Reborn(I do not think there is OWR compatibility for MSO though). oh boy got ninja'd

Complete is number zero on my list of mods i would play if i wanted the core game left alone. Just get Absolute Nature, Atmosfear and maybe a minor weapon mod. holy shit double ninja'd.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations.

holy shit monolits is translating OLR? welp better get a weekfull of vacancy ready at some point gotta start planning that stream

Lol, even that I kill a few duty soldiers at the Army Warehouse, they still let me in to The Bar.

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;43584965]Lol, even that I kill a few duty soldiers at the Army Warehouse, they still let me in to The Bar.[/QUOTE] They went rogue anyways, so no one cares.

[QUOTE=DTKT;43584771]Awesome, thanks for the recommendations.[/QUOTE] I've got an MSO + OWR merge sitting around here somewhere. I'll upload it for you if you'll give me a little bit to make sure it works.

If you do upload it I'll take it as well. What about Atmosfear 3 with it? EDIT: So pripyat reborn vs MSO, which is better? And which has a better/more difficult endgame on the streets of pripyat?

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;43585532]So you're saying Duty use to be in Freedom faction?[/QUOTE] No, I'm saying those soldiers went rogue from Duty.

[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/9sfd8f0hrw7a0q7/OWR%20configs%20for%20MSO.7z"]OWR configs for MSO[/URL] It works fine with Atmosfear 3. It's a stretch to call it a merge; the weapon configs are all that needed editing. I would say that MSO is still the leader at making the game, and especially Pripyat, more active. Pripyat Reborn NPCs are smarter, but once you've done the missions, the maps become a wasteland. MSOs revamping of the NPC and mutant spawn system makes all the difference for me.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;43541763]Speaking of cover, I love being able to lean. So few games do this now (most opt for cover systems) but I feel having total control of when you lean around corners and how far you lean out feels a lot more natural during gameplay then a context sensitive action or UI element telling me "PRESS A TO LEAN" I am enjoying SGM already (despite having to use default weapons) The intro quest is a little too vague, the starting weapons suck, I'm constantly running into annomalies and I've had to load my game a lot more than CoP already. [sp]Puts a smile on my face.[/sp] Plus dat cordon music completes the SoC feel.[/QUOTE] Late reply I know. But fuck context sensitive cover mechanics. They're just something left over from console games. Max Payne 3 was one of the few games that did context sensitive cover well, because you couldn't rely on it entirely. Q&E leaning also has the added benefactor in many games that when you lean to the right; you also lower your profile.
