Hmm, what about something like [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/amk-sidorovich-edition]this[/url]?

One of my favorite mod features of those older AMK mods is that cross-Zone network you get to listen in on. It really adds a lot of immersion to see stalkers reporting different dangers and just chatting with one another, though the translations weren't always good. I still haven't played the game that can top a modded and fully active STALKER a-life system.

The thing is that in order for it to work correctly for weapons with detachable scopes you HAVE TO use Shoker mod attachment system. However I'm just going to use it for the scope type and nothing else, and it will be done with a keypress. Obviously the sight isn't perfectly aligned and the model could be fixed up a bit, I won't be using that scope overlay or zoom level; this is just a demonstration.[/quote] tl;dr backup sights in Swartz

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40967779]lol someone actually uses the Oasis.[/QUOTE] I wish there was an option just to tell Ozersky to fuck off and complete the quest without giving him the Oasis. My OCD grinds my mind when there's an unfinished quest in my quest log.

Okay, I fail at google. Can anyone tell me just what exactly StalkerSoup is or does?

[QUOTE=Error_404;40970740]Okay, I fail at google. Can anyone tell me just what exactly StalkerSoup is or does?[/QUOTE] A mod that you probably shouldn't use for your first playthrough. Don't go for Complete either.

It's a gigantic russian mod compilation that features in a nutshell : -all levels from the three games (though most "extra" maps are [I]really[/I] hard to find access to normally), unused beta maps and some fan-made ones -tons of new guns, quests, NPCs, story is reworked -cut monsters from the alphas return along with some "new" ones -retexturing work and new musics everywhere -combat is super deadly -lots of new items and a new type of inventory system -long loading times because of all the new content Basically it's jam-packed with content, some good and some bad, into this weird,confusing and very russian mod potpourri.

[QUOTE=Araknid;40986730]Swartz backup sights again [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/18/17750/abakan_demo.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Since we're on the topic, everyone go to the Swartz mod forum on ModDB and [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/swartz-mod/forum/thread/quick-opinions-poll-like"]post replies to his poll[/URL]. Or else he'll be sad.

So how do you control these sights?

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;40990419]So how do you control these sights?[/QUOTE] According to Swartz you can switch between scope and backups with a keypress.

It's been ages since I last played stalker, anyone have the latest soup? I've been feeling a bit to happy lately, need something to cut me down

Well now. At the military base in SHOC, clearing it out after going through the underground tunnels getting the flash drive and what not. All clear, looting bodies, see the commander to my right, shoot him in the chest twice right as it seems that he's pulling a grenade out. He goes down and starts to bleed out, so I continue to grab all the snazzy new (well, half broken no ammo) M16's and FNC's, then I hear him groan, so I turn to go grab his shit, and not 2 seconds after he died, his fucking grenade went off and killed me. Was rather surprised. First time something like that had happened. Guess when he was bleeding out he still had the grenade priming.

Just watched those Misery 2.0 combat trailers and all I can say to them is: Wubwubwub, gauss-rifle 360 noscope whirligig anomaly!
