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

[QUOTE=VintageCat;44668450]Has anybody completed Dark Valley's lab? Can someone write a guide about what should I exactly do there?[/QUOTE] I also would like to know. Only found [SP]Lower Computer code 9231[/SP]Only[SP]Upper first Computer[/sp]Left.

So I just helped the guys take the Hangar, and I have yet to find a single battery for my flashlight. Where the hell can I find them?

When I play LA on max settings, my frames just absolutely gets destroyed my god.. I kinda want to play CoP again because of LA, is there any mods that I guess adds new content to the game? Changes all the gun sounds and models?

Oh jesus christ I was just leaving the newbie village and I hear a horrible death scream and a sound of an electric shock coming from one of the houses. Scared the living fuck out of me, it came from the house with the creepy portrait too, doesn't help that the ambient music stopped playing either.

[QUOTE=kaine123;44668522]Okay so I've now beaten Vanilla CoP. What would you guys suggest for my first modded playthrough?[/QUOTE] Personally I'd go with a basic A.I / A-Life overhaul like M.S.O+AtmosFear 3 or Pripyat Reborn, which already has AtmosFear included (but may need Absolute Nature Packs) but if you want to jump into content mods right away, I'd go with SGM. If you're tempted to try Misery, try first with Misery 1.2 before going into 2.1. Valley of Whispers is also a pretty decent mod, it's a total conversion with a new story that takes place in a completely new map that's actually a rather well-done level.

Stack Tracing like a motherfucker when trying to get out of the bandit base after [sp]saving the dutyer and getting the documents from the safe.[/sp] I can't even get to my car I have no clue, I guess i'll have to reload from the level-start and try another way, probably this time with less stealth window jumping marked one/sam fisher combo, more shooty shooty.

Shame for LA, waiting for so long for it, now can't play it, crashing like crazy with those bone bugs

So disabling SSAO, grass shadows, and sun shadows (or something like that) fixed my frames problem and I can run everything else on max, Anti-aliasing included with DX10. Doesn't look much different, and plays great. Nice.

Anyone else getting a crash every time the game tries to load the A-Life when you die?

I have the day off so I'm going to clean my room and play Lost Alpha. Just download it from moddb? Is the website down or anything? Any advice?

So far I haven't run into many issues. I occasionally get the bone bug crash, and I recently got a P90 related crash trying to get to Yanov, but that's it.

You guys realize this isn't a final build right? They even said it's early access due to the "April Fools" leak, and in the development process extensive bug fixing comes after you have all the features you want in. Considering the game is not even finished feature-wise I can't bring myself to curse the devs for a few bugs that I can work around. It's very playable as-is and I'm having a blast.

The source code is super interesting, I'm working on getting it to compile right now :)

AA in stalker has never done anything unless you're on static lighting deferred shading etc

Holy fuck downloading the lost alpha is going to take forever. The first part is 2 GB, and there are 4 parts. Is there any faster way of getting this downloaded?

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;44669377]Holy fuck downloading the lost alpha is going to take forever. The first part is 2 GB, and there are 4 parts. Is there any faster way of getting this downloaded?[/QUOTE] The torrent worked wonders for me. I got the whole thing in less than an hour.

[quote] [BaguetteThug]: holy shit the sourcecode really was leaked dezodor: reported to gsc dezodor: its not the full but still bad dezodor: no one can use it in any mod or commercial project dezodor: mods will be deleted which use it [/quote] I'd suggest we not discuss the leak and remove links to it and have the content flagged.

So i disabled the show actor legs thing but i still got a stack crash about foot bone not set?

[QUOTE=Milkyway M16;44669408]The torrent worked wonders for me. I got the whole thing in less than an hour.[/QUOTE] I can't get it for whatever reason, just a blank page when I try to access it.

Are stashes not a thing or lost alpha or do you just have to find them without getting given coordinates?

[QUOTE=cjone2;44669497]Are stashes not a thing or lost alpha or do you just have to find them without getting given coordinates?[/QUOTE]I've found a few coordinates, mostly in Agroprom. I don't know if you can loot stashes without the coordinates.

Alright, guys, for those getting the P90 crash in the [B]Construction site[/B], do the following: -download the rar in [url]http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&thm_page=1&thm_id=22408&sec_id=19&offset=-120[/url] -make a folder in gamedata called "meshes" -make a folder in meshes called "weapons" -make two folders in weapons, called "ammo" and "p90" -extract the .ogf files into each folder accordingly. Can't miss it.

So how are we supposed to finish the lab part? I took everything that shithole had to offer.

downloading!

I'd like to be able to spawn vehicles, if that works.
