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

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;44269930]I think you misunderstood me. I don't have a problem with the AK. In fact, I think it's cool, but It seems taken out of MW2 in my opinion, which is not bad or wrong on itself. [/QUOTE] Na man that AK you're thinking of is like a full ak-74 while this is just a 74u. I've seen that model before on some random animation video and I think it's one of those models that are available to anyone. It's just a ak-74u with a rail so you can attach a acog scope onto it.

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;44269930]I don't have a problem with the AK. In fact, I think it's cool, but It seems taken out of MW2 in my opinion, which is not bad or wrong on itself.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I don't like guns that are very obviously taken from other games myself. It makes the game feel like a patchwork rather than having it's own distinct and consistent style. [editline]herp[/editline] Not that this is one of those, as Seano cleared the situation above this post, just mean that in general.

Ok, so I managed to solve my problem with the missing string values and all that, but now I'm having a different bugtrap error: Expression : fatal error Function : CInifile::r_section File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp Line : 342 Description : <no expression> Arguments : Can't open section 'wpn_aks74m' Something pertaining to the weapon, I'd assume. I have no knowledge of how to fix this, so if any of you know what's going on, can you please reply? Edit: I installed the 14.08 expansion, and now I get this: Expression : hGame Function : CEngineAPI::Initialize File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\EngineAPI.cpp Line : 67 Description : Game DLL raised exception during loading or there is no game DLL at all

It's reloaded anims and all that good stuff Second is probably missing DLL's that the mod requires for certain features and the likes. (They usually come with some custom ones or point you to the ones that are needed.

I'm actually a little curious where that AK74u is from now. It's modeled so much so in the style of the MW games. [editline]17th March 2014[/editline] Anyone know of any mods that add more maps to STALKER? I have to admit ShoC feels a little claustrophobic at times.

We're all talking about features and there are cool screenshots. Was Stalker 2 announced!?

Welp. ZoA broke because I was stupid. Time to play some STALKERSOUP. And no...STALKER 2 wasn't announced. It cancelled a long time ago. Now if you excuse me I'm going to pour a shot of GSC vodka for the poor souls that will never be able to play it.

[QUOTE=Masterofstars;44273320]We're all talking about features and there are cool screenshots. Was Stalker 2 announced!?[/QUOTE] Yes it was, and it was sad, because it was so close to our grasp, but the will of the zone is that we shall never see it, and the zone's will was true, for we never saw much more than images.(abridged version: Sergei was an asshole and closed GSC before STALKER 2 was finished)

Maybe they'll start developing Stalker 2 once again after they're done with Survarium... right?

So I'm in the mood for some S.T.A.L.K.E.R.ing and have just reinstalled Call of Pripyat. What mod do you guys recommend I get? Misery or Redux?

im actually so fucking confused about what mod im playing right now

[QUOTE=Everest;44274988]im actually so fucking confused about what mod im playing right now[/QUOTE] Haha, I would call it MISERY then ;)

[QUOTE=Everest;44274988]im actually so fucking confused about what mod im playing right now[/QUOTE]So many of the games I have are modded, and often I go months before I pick them up again. Quite often I start up a game and wonder why it behaves so oddly/crashes on startup :v: [editline]18th March 2014[/editline] Like one time I started up Company of Heroes from what I thought was a mislabelled shortcut on my desktop, and I found I could build donkey rocket artillery.

I mean, I know stalker 2 was cancelled but everyone was paying those screens I got confused.

I'm still hoping for the Lost Alpha team being hired and put on stalker 2 after its released, That was somewhat hinted.

[QUOTE=Dibz;44274129]What mod do you guys recommend I get? Misery or Redux?[/QUOTE] I'd personally recommend M.S.O.+AtmosFear 3 if you're looking for something that's not incredibly content-heavy but introduces good A-Life upgrades that make the game experience much more dynamic while not tampering with the basics. After that, Misery / SGM is a pretty good choice.

I have this issue, whenever I think of a cool feature that'd I'd like modded into STALKER COP I can't properly play the game until I've found a way to add it in. Like I heard it was possible to enable psi storms and fallouts in misery 2.1 and now I can't play misery 2.1 anymore because I can't figure out how to enable fallouts.

Alright thanks for the advice, guys! I'll try out the M.S.O + Atmosfear mod and eventually SGM to see how it works out for me. Though I doubt they're compatible so I'll try them one at a time just in case.

[QUOTE=Dibz;44276129]Alright thanks for the advice, guys!
