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

[LurkietheLurker]

just because I was having trouble finding the link to the actual torrent file, I thought I should post the [URL="http://gameupdates.org/download.php/5770/LOST_ALPHA_v1.3000_DEZOWAVE.torrent"]direct link[/URL].

[gudman]

My upload speed is non-existent, but I'll be seeding too, because I am a good person.

All I see in the Seeder list is Mother Russia :rolleyes:

I see a Ukrainian, and I saw a Hungarian earlier.

[Muukkis]

Uh, so I guess it's a bit early to ask for help modding LA but I'd like to ask if anyone who knows their way around scripts could tell me how to modify this so that the death screen in the Lost Alpha leak wouldn't turn the camera to black after death ?

function CirclePP(t)
if not flag_circle then return end --/>
level.remove_pp_effector(4467)
level.add_pp_effector("actor_death_circle.ppe", 4467, false)
start_quick_timer(0.5, this.CirclePP) --/ ~0.5 real-sec
end

--/ if you want to do black screen after kill (if use db.actor:kill())
function DoBlackScreen()
flag_circle = true
end
--/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/QUOTE]

Note that changing flag_circle = true to flag_circle = false in either function StartPP(t) or function CirclePP(t) changed the screen from black to normal. Could it be that modifying the script would require me to start a whole new game (as in, not just quitting to desktop and restarting but actually starting a new game) ?

Anyone interested in a 'First Impressions: Lost Alpha' blog post once I've played a bit?

[Loner]

And here i am on my phone sitting next to my girl enduring the stupid talk of her family members :'(

[gudman]

Yeah my swarm visualisation is rather colorful too. USA, Canada, Germany, Spain and whole of Eastern Europe. Even brother-stalker from Australia found his or her way into the list.

[Danny.B]

So you got the game? Any thoughts on how is it?

[Ajaxial]

[QUOTE=Beacon;44657901]Anyone interested in a 'First Impressions: Lost Alpha' blog post once I've played a bit?[/QUOTE]

Yes. Yes and once more Yes!

[Deadman Inc.]

Will it work with a Steam-version of SoC?

[Col. Buggernuts]

[QUOTE=Deadman Inc.;44657932]Will it work with a Steam-version of SoC?[/QUOTE]Doesn't require SoC at all, it's standalone.

one reason I'm glad I'm single now

friends with benefits are so much less work, it has to be said

[croguy]

Can we all agree to form a pact in which everyone must shoot Lt. Priboi if they put him as an easter egg character?

I need to get my revenge for all the emotional trauma caused by Hazardous Sidorovich.

[Beacon]

and I'll do a first impressions post then.

2.5mb/s on the torrent now, it's in its stride finally! almost there

[BloodShot12]

Downloading the torrent at 444 kb/s, tried the mega link

Welp, think I know which download I'm sticking too.

I'll still seed though

[Col. Buggernuts]

Files are packed tighter than diamonds, it seems. Not just the extraction of the installation files, but the installation itself too.

Didn't they say that the game is ~20GB in size now? I really wanna know what did they ram in there.

[gudman]

Almost half-way through.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cbb93WB.png[/IMG] is what the setup told me.

[Thomo_UK]

That is some amazing compression if that's the case, good job. I'm installing now

[Col. Buggernuts]

[QUOTE=croguy;44657968]Didn't they say that the game is ~20GB in size now? I really wanna know what did they ram in there.[/QUOTE]13.8gb it says on my end.

[Muukkis]

[QUOTE=croguy;44657968]I really wanna know what did they ram in there.[/QUOTE]

The levels in the leak take up nearly 7 GB alone. Well, 6.80 GB to be exact.

[brandsmanato]

Just 50 minutes left for me.... hnnnng go faster goddamnit.

[BuddieBBB]

Wow, it feels so weird that it's been 6-7 years since I started to play this game, and now I get to play LA in a couple of minutes.

[BaguetteThug]

Sooo close. 3mb/s with 30% left.

[BloodShot12]

I got parts 1, 2, and 4 from the Mega links

Anybody have a direct download like to part 3, like from gamefront or something? ModDB just says the links are down

[Araknid]

i swear im tempted to wake up at 5AM to play this shit

[Konstapeln]

Is it supposed to be stuck at installing main game files for a very long time?
