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

[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;43692689]Ah, but i need photoshop to open it. Goddamnit.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.getpaint.net/[/url]

Cheers guys. Didn't realise there are so many CoP mods though holy shit! Wonder why no-one ever does anything for Clear Sky, though it's my least favourite S.T.A.L.K.E.R game, nut still. :P

Been trying to get proper Anti-Aliasing in CoP for some time now. The ingame AA doesn't work worth a fuck and takes a really big shit on my framerate. Using the Nvidia control panel and forcing it doesn't seem to work either.

Why the balls does OGSE succeed in royally ass fucking any SOC installation it touches, and why is Facepunch up and down all day today like a cheap hooker? FUCK THIS SITES SLOW!

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;43693529]Why the balls does OGSE succeed in royally ass fucking any SOC installation it touches,[/QUOTE] It's some serious magic. I've had it work perfectly on an install I forgot to downgrade and on the flipside, I've rolled back plenty of times to have it throw a hissy fit. Totally worth the hassle though.

I really want to put a Stalker costume together [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pd26A1L.gif[/IMG] [sp] If anyone knows what type of boots, trousers, jacket or sweater he wears, let me know[/sp]

[QUOTE=Vivi_O;43693712]SMAA works, though only reliably on DX9. FXAA should work regardless. I haven't had any luck with any other method.[/QUOTE] I tried SMAA and instacrashed on startup. Fucking hate FXAA because it blurs text and Misery disables the english voice files, so i rely on text. Either way, I'm going to just focus on getting this damn prefetching problem sorted out, it's pretty bad sometimes, taking several seconds for shit to load.

how come i can't buy a ssp-99 suit without the helmet, but i can buy the headgear i mean, the headgear had to come from somewhere

I'm going to try out AA2 for ShoC later, is there a download for it that isn't on the ModDB page? It's downloading really slow off that site. (8 - 9 hours until it's done)

why the fuck is there 4 burers at iron forest who the fuck thought that would be a decent game mechanic

Guys, i'm disappointed. I started a Misery game via Black Road. It sucked for about an hour, now i'm swimming in cash and i don't find Misery to be a challenge anymore.

Then it just becomes an issue of mutants being a pain in the fucking ass instead of difficult small, extremely hard to hit fast moving mutants that kill you in a few hits are in fact very not fun at all to fight

Instead of a barebones no gear start, i thought you'd start on a road into the zone, getting shot to shit by military guys, the only way to actually get into the zone.

After about 3 hours, I killed 4 snorks, +20 zombies, 4 burers, a poltergeist, 2 controllers, tons of other bullshit, got tons of stuff, about to examine the helicopter boom, save corrupts fuck misery

Make 2-3 and every time you do something major, like win a bigass battle or find some good loot, save over one of those hard saves. Also hard-save every time you get to a friendly base like Yanov or Skadovsk.

[QUOTE=XeroG;43690295]In Misery, is there some sort of über hack artifact container, gotta have them Compasses.[/QUOTE] There's three tiers of artifact containers, the first one is kinda terrible, the second is -8 rads and the last one is really rare but I've seen it a couple of times on Hawaiian and Beard. Reduces way more than 10 rad IIRC.

I would give royalties if someone found a way to turn off the bugtrap system >:C

There's not much crap in there for the burers to throw at you, there was just a crate and a barrel, so I got them to throw them down the stairs where they couldn't get it back up the stairs to throw at me Then it was just a point and click adventure. Shot them all dead with my AK leaning out from the doorway.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;43697938]Have fun with your game crashing and not giving any reasons as to why because you turned off bugtrap[/QUOTE] It crashes every 2 minutes by a stack trace, don't think it would make a big difference e_e

why do you want to turn it off

[QUOTE=Everest;43698000]why do you want to turn it off[/QUOTE] im pretty sure someone once said in this thread that bugtrap just shuts the game down if a line of code is missing a ; at the end or something

Isn't it that Xray shuts off at any bug other than graphic ones? For instance, a missing bracket could indeed cause a crash but a missing texture doesn't. CryEngine and UDK handle this very differently, not CTDing the while time, just giving on-screen errors (or off screen in the log). I would prefer the 2nd to the first in any situation :v:

yeah, x-ray has zero tolerance for code or config errors, but is totally ok with things like missing textures, weirdly
