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

[QUOTE=zombini;44173143]The bosses of the factions that were added by SGM. I know of the locations of only 4 though. One is at the Theater in Pripyat, one is at Ranger Station in Zaton. The other two are in Jupiter, one is the head of Dawn i think, and he shows up at the northern train tunnel after the mission for the psy artifact. The last one i know of is the Mercs near the Concrete Bath Anomaly.[/QUOTE] I always end up killing the Bandit Commander at the ranger station. By the time I'm geared up enough to kill him, I've got like three of those remote explosives, which you can use to just blow the fuck out of everyone in the base from outside and loot freely. I have nightmares of the time I got cornered near the bridge entrance to the Ranger Station, and ended up hiding behind an air conditioner thing with my back to a wall, with 26 grenade-using bandits surrounding me.

[QUOTE=spekter;44171469] Also there are literally dwarves everywhere. A group of about 5 hit the duty checkpoint in garbage when I left for the bar last time, I dare not go back to garbage anymore. [/QUOTE] Oh, hell, the same thing happened to me. There's constantly a Monolith garrison in the train station too. Have you sold Kruglovs flash drive to the barman yet?

I wanted to replay Shoc again with a new mod. I've already played a fair share of mods. My favorite ones were Lurk, AMK Sidorovich Edition and Ogse. What other mods are good?

It really is something everyone should feel, and it's surprisingly good considering how much of a student accommodation kitchen sink it is. I had an absolute blast with it.

[QUOTE=Fuxed;44174696]Oh, hell, the same thing happened to me. There's constantly a Monolith garrison in the train station too. Have you sold Kruglovs flash drive to the barman yet?[/QUOTE] I kind of fucked up and slaughtered everyone at the bar. So I'm trying to kill off anyone who is hostile before selling stuff and moving. I walked in as Duty, killed everyone, begged barman to make me a loner again yet somehow I have friends in Duty and I can go into their base as I please. Icing on the cake: Voronin had a VSS in his trade window for 0 rubles Currently arming up and heading for Wild Territory.

People Soup has more "What is dis shit" value to it but Legendary seems to be prone to causing hilarious scenarios unintentionally.

So, what's the status on Call of Chernobyl? Is the guy doing it able to port all the maps and stuff? Wow, what a crack. And Beacon, what happened to Redux? I'm still waiting for those awesome suit upgrades...

What's so great about this Legendary mod I keep hearing about?

I'm still waiting for those awesome suit upgrades...[/QUOTE] Very slow right now pal, but we're not dead by any means ;)

I am looking forward to Redux more than any other mod. I can't wait for it. Having said that, are there any good mods for CS that just switch up the gameplay/danger a bit? Like AMK did for SoC. Need me some more weapon variety and unfucked weapon damages/spread/recoil. Vanilla is basically "get Abakan, do not use another weapon ever again." Oh, how difficult is it to allow multiple primaries in SoC/CS? It pains me when I can't put a sawn off in my secondary slot.

[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;44179637]Oh, how difficult is it to allow multiple primaries in SoC/CS? It pains me when I can't put a sawn off in my secondary slot.[/QUOTE] It's not hard to put a weapon go to the pistol slot but you can't really make them easily interchangeable like it is in CoP unless you do some mad scripting fuckery like Clear Sky's TFW team had done. [editline]herp[/editline] Here's how to do it : [QUOTE=Modified version of some guy's advice at GSC-Game.com on how to do it;44179637] C:\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\gamedata\config\weapons Open the bm-16.ltx, which usually and strangely enough isn´t availiable in the pistol slot, scroll down a bit to the "slot" entry and change the "3" to "2" ( slot 1 knife, 2 pistol, 3 rifle ). [/QUOTE]

is it just me or does arsenal overhaul 2 have some guns that just sound inexplicably bad the AN94 sounds like a DShK and the saiga sounds like a makarov

[QUOTE=seano12;44176453]What's so great about this Legendary mod I keep hearing about?[/QUOTE] If you've played virtually every mod possible sans the super breeki russian mods like me it's kind of just a good balance of existing mods combined into one. [quote]legendary is Oblivion Lost u.l.t.i.m.a.t.e. + faction wars, Ai for OL 2.2, combination Absolute Nature and HD Foliage textures, best shaders collection, and a lot of modifications ( detailed info soon ) - and ARSENAL RC 3 - the last one is ARSENAL RC01 + weapons collection from AMK sites, banana and other stalker sites. There is more than 300 weapons in the game. Every weapon is adjusted for first person and third person (Ai- availability) and configured with Dynamic HUD Mod 1.3 for SHOC - (weapons animation ) + weapons sound readjusted ( BIG thanks for Ruslanikus with sounds helping !! ) [/quote] Personally, I find the combat is a bit more satisfying than usual and bulletsponge is practically non-existant both for you and the enemies. There seems to be a decent amount of weird shit that occurs and I haven't really crashed much. I will say there's been some parts where it freezes more than any other mod I've played but I think that might be something on my end. It brings back decent memories of 08/09 when OL was like the biggest mod around. Heck, Legendary still has the letter from Kanyhalos in that blue box at the bar.

Thanks for the suggestion, currently downloading people soup. Can't wait for the weird stuff, hope it's worth it I heard there are tons of issues with crashes. Also it's nearly 5 gb.

Legendary does sound neat.
