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

[QUOTE=Muukkis;44696915]It's worth 10€ at least, it doesn't have as many mods as the other two games but it's an alright S.T.A.L.K.E.R. romp. I wrote a longer post on it on page 405 as to what I consider to be it's main problems for me but I don't really regret my purchase, even if it was during the time the game cost 30€ and didn't have any of it's patches out which made it completely unplayable.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I am mostly asking since I realized that I probably got into the mods way too quickly (including this one) without finishing and thoroughly experiencing the vanilla games, and was wondering whether I should just finish Shadow of Chernobyl and then move to Call of Pripyat directly or whether Clear Sky deserves a bus stop as well.

I think Clear Sky is worth playing just because its environments are the second best in the series (The first best, I have to say, goes to Lost Alpha)

How do I disable actor legs? I can't find it in the options and I feel stupid for not finding it.

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;44697252]How do I disable actor legs? I can't find it in the options and I feel stupid for not finding it.[/QUOTE] Options--> Game options. It's the tab that has the HUDs and all those miscellaneous on/off options like show crosshair and other things like that.

I'd be interested in translations of all the messages left at the entrance to the bar in LA, anyone wanna take a shot at it?

As it turns out the Old Yantar does exist, it's just at the very edge of the zone :v:. [editline]1st May 2014[/editline] Also where the hell are Freedom set up at? I've got no clue as to where their base is.

-snip- didn't notice the new page :c

Wasn't there supposed to be an official patch coming out today?

I've got no clue as to where their base is.[/QUOTE] Me neither. There're Freedomers in the Zone, as mentioned in dialogue and in corpses here and then. Actually, I might as well as boil the faction locations down: [sp] Cordon: Loners, Army Garbage: Loners, Duty, Bandit detachment Agroprom: Contested by Army and Loners. Bandits? Constr. Site: Mercs, primarily Rostok: Duty, later on Loners w/ Military outpost Dark Valley: Bandits and Monolith Darkscape: Sin and Mercs, Military patrols Forest: Uncontested. Bandit outpost? GMF: Duty, 100 Rads, Bandits Yantar: Ecologists w/ army, loners, bandits Dead City: lots of Mercs Swamp: ??? Army Warehouses: Mercs, mostly, I think. Countryside: ??? Radar: Probably tons of Monolith Chernobyl Outskirts: Could be vacant Concrete Factory: Ecologists, judging by the map Pripyat: Ought to be heavily contested CNPP: Obvious Generators: Obvious[/sp] Yeah, I really got no clue where Freedom is hiding.

[QUOTE=kiloy;44698053]Wasn't there supposed to be an official patch coming out today?[/QUOTE] Yes, but Dez0 later said it was coming out tomorrow, unsurprisingly. Also, I just did Darkscape in LA. To my surprise, it was actually easier than in R.M.A., due to the fact that [sp]the BTR-80 doesn't shoot at you, unlike it does in RMA and there are wayyy less RPG dudes[/sp]. For some weird reason the game [sp]wanted me to go the "railroad tunnel" in the middle of the map and didn't let me finish the map normally until I had gone right next to it to trigger it[/sp] but it worked out okay in the end and I got a sweet ride out of that deal. [editline]herp[/editline] [QUOTE=croguy;44698151]Did you enter[/QUOTE] I did not, but now I know I'll have to re-enter the Dorkscape, possibly on foot.

If you reached Cordon you have to backtrack in there.[/sp] [editline]2nd May 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Muukkis;44698119]I did not, but now I know I'll have to re-enter the Dorkscape, possibly on foot.[/QUOTE] There's a pristine UAZ-469 sitting around some 300 meters away from the level changer. You can use it to hitch a ride to the railway tunnel. The thing about Lost Alpha is that it doesn't do what all the retelling mods did in SoC. It's strange, really, after redoing it a dozen times instinct always tells you to head to Sid.

Okay so I am both creeped out and pissed off, someone explain what the fuck is going on I am attacking the military base in Agropom. So I killed like 30 soldiers, and they STILL keep coming from the flanks and the main entrance of the base, and there's this fucking thing, I dunno what, that makes my screen red and whispers creepy shit into my ears. This ain't normal, I'm out of my comfort zone Now I'm hearing music and voices coming from the base's intercoms rather than the alarm, what the fuck this is weird

I fixed LA AI, where is my monies? [url]www.epicstalker.com/kjdhadshfadsfklsdfljsd/Lost_Alpha_AI_Tweaks_by_Alundaio_R2.zip[/url]

I remember someone posted some LURK models for LA. Is this the same? [url]http://www.gsc-game.com/main.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&thm_page=1&thm_id=22373&sec_id=19[/url] And if not, can they repost, I can't seem to find theirs.

The quest mark bugged out with the "Find a way out of the underground", I obviously already got out but it still didn't complete.

If anyone else is messing around with the Xray source code and has made any major progress in getting it to compile, let me know.

If you leave another way it won't count.

Anyone have any idea why they didn't just leave X-14 in the same map as Rostok Factory? It's so very small and isn't script heavy so why didn't they just have it in the same map like with Agroprom Underground?

A lot of LA's maps are at the point where they can hardly add a new static prop without the map compiler crashing.
