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

Dunno if this has already been asked, but: How do I turn [I]up [/I]the settings in LA? I'm running at around 110fps but can't enable grass / sun shadows in the advanced video options even though in the user.ltx they seem to be enabled.

You're probably running in static lighting or objects dynamic lighting mode, which doesn't support sun/grass shadows

Oh, silly me, I had left it stuck on / it had reset itself to static lighting for some reason. Thanks!

3 in-game days and not a single-blowout. It's also perpetually sunny, it's never overcast or raining.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;44671019]3 in-game days and not a single-blowout. It's also perpetually sunny, it's never overcast or raining.[/QUOTE] I had a Blowout in my first day... I am playing on R1 though, and the weather_manager acts differently on R1 than it does on R2/R3 for some reason

What is this R1, R2, R3 stuff being talked about?

Not 1.6 engine source but I'm STILL ONE HAPPY MOTHER FUCKER RIGHT NOW. 6 years I've waited for this moment! [editline]28th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=JDER14;44671133]What is this R1, R2, R3 stuff being talked about?[/QUOTE] R1 is DX8, R2 is DX9, R3 is DX10. It's the renderer.

To be more specific, it goes like this: R1 is the static lighting renderer. It uses DirectX 8 shaders for its rendering. No normal mapping or fancy specular, just lightmaps and basic environment reflection maps. R2a is objects dynamic lighting. It's a DirectX 9 based deferred renderer. It's functionally the same as full dynamic lighting with the exception of the sun lighting being replaced with statically baked lightmaps. R2 is full dynamic lighting. Same as R2a except the sun is a fully dynamic light source. In CS and CoP you have an R2.5, which is R2 with support for sun shafts, steep parallax, and depth of field. In CS/CoP/LA, you have R3 and R4, which are DX10(.1) and DX11 respectively. They support all of the features of R2.5 along with volumetric smoke, volumetric lights, dynamic wet surfaces, among other minor rendering features. so, yeah. There's your lesson on X-Ray's renderers for the day. :v:

I hope a mod comes out to clear up the roads a bit so you can drive the vehicles a little better. It's impossible to get to Cordon, apparently.

Apparently i can't reload. Anyone else have this bug? the counter just says zero

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;44671607]Apparently i can't reload. Anyone else have this bug? the counter just says zero[/QUOTE] Do you have ammo on your belt?

Anyone know the code to the bandit safe? [sp]I know it came up when I searched the bandit leader's body, but I didn't read it in time and it isn't stored anywhere.[/sp]

oh my god wolf where did you hide ur fucking shit

the power went out while i was at work and i dunno how much downloaded :( [editline]28th April 2014[/editline] only 40% downloaded :c

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;44670834]Please tell me if you can get it to compile. It seems to be missing a fair bit of dependencies[/QUOTE] Depends on which ones you're talking about. I fixed a few and found a few more. No compile yet.

Played a good hour of Lost Alpha and I gotta say it's pretty rough. My rig has usually ran the stalker games just fine but LA is choppy and has huge hangtimes occasionally for no raisin. Also heard about lots of crashes so I'm gonna wait for some patches before I dive in this again.

Does anyone have the link to the files that add RO2 death sounds? I want to use them for LA

So is my game glitched out? I got Strelok's stash and the book and left Agroprom yet on my map it still says "find his stash" and "find a way out of the underground" and it's not moving onto the next mission anyone know? this is annoying as hell

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;44670586]also I think I fixed the repair dialog crash [URL]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8664592/repaircrashfix.zip[/URL] it was a missing section in lost_alpha_config.ltx [editline]28th April 2014[/editline] let me know if it works because I had a grand total of 10 minutes testing most of it sitting at the loading screen because r2 is slow as shit[/QUOTE] Well it doesn't crash, but still is bugged the same way the others are in that you can't select any upgrades. edit: It's only the very far left of the upgrade button that works.

[QUOTE=JDER14;44670396]LA does ammo weirdly. I was sorting my ammo out and I watched it go from 300 to 215. Wtf game, I want my bullets back. The AI is brain dead too...[/QUOTE]It's trying to repack the boxes so you always get a full box, but something's going seriously wrong.

I think I'm going to stay away from LA until a few patches come out, it's incredibly buggy right now.

AI needs fixing for sure. If you agro them and quick save, then load it, they will forget about you until you meet one of them that is smarter than the rest who will gun you down instantly. Monolith ain't that smart it seems.

So how come I can only repair the first item with fox? And no upgrades from him?

Has anyone seen a USP ingame? It is named Weapon_UPS in the scripts folder, I wasn't sure if that's factory STALKER or a mistake.

Shit I quicksaved just as I got the foot bug and now my save crashes on load, rip gopnik lyfe ugh my last manual save was ages ago. I've been using quicksaves to avoid losing progress to CTDs, the irony...

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;44672307]It's trying to repack the boxes so you always get a full box, but something's going seriously wrong.[/QUOTE]This happens a lot when you try to unload weapons, too. I was in Agroprom unloading all the AKs and my ammo was fluctuating like crazy. Sometimes I'd get ammo, sometimes I wouldn't, and sometimes my ammo would just disappear.
