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

Etcetera - London Araknid - Australia Tinter - Denmark Green - Finland Milkandcooki - America Histrionic - Australia Bloodshot12 - America Pops - America Don't be afraid to join up, I'm sure we can find a way to stop the game crashing to get the matches going.

Man, that's all around the world. Whose gonna host? :v:

I'm guessing I have the best internet. Let's have a look. All participants, post your speedtest.net result! [IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/2772057299.png[/IMG] Now, to be fair I did have three torrents running at 1.4-2.3 mb/s while this is running.

Also no one cares about your torrents

I get like 1.1 on a good day :(

Now this might just be because I'm playing the beta or because I'm used to not-shitty (ie. Redux) guns, but is the weapon balance in TFW pants-on-head retarded? You can't stand when you've been shot in the head [I]twice[/I] with [I]a slug[/I], your head is supposed to be a red mist.

more people soup play [url]http://www.livestream.com/theghettoastronaut[/url] prepare for a lot of deaths EDIT: And apparently soup NPCs also yell at you in german with voices from call of duty 2.

I made a [url=http://www.mediafire.com/download/eqqabjwmtc51f1c/Total_Reloaded_Warfare_1.3.3.7z]mod[/url] to fix that but it causes some crashes and I have no idea if it works on the latest versions of TFW.

I see. I haven't played CS in god knows how long and the ballistics are certainly a major reason for why that is.

I think I've forgotten entirely how to mod this game. I know I should be putting stuff in a gamedata folder, and that I'm meant to edit a file, but for the life of I can [b]not[/b] find the gamedata folder. Am I meant to make an empty one, or what?

Mods usually come [I]as[/I] a gamedata folder, and if you're playing SoC or CS you need to edit fsgame.ltx and change the gamedata line to true/true.

Am I meant to make an empty one, or what?[/QUOTE] Yes. The way the Stalker engine works is it reads game data from any file or folder labelled gamedata in the game directory. There are a number of gamedata.db files that it reads from first - these contain the vanilla gamedata. If you put files in a folder named gamedata, the engine will read them after the .db, and override vanilla content with the mod content from the gamedata folder. Does that make sense? [editline]14th June 2013[/editline] In order to mod the vanilla game you'll need to extract the data from the .db files, creating a gamedata folder that is identical in contents to the gamedata.db files.

oh I misread that, didn't realise you wanted to mod it yourself.

[QUOTE=croguy;41023746]Nobody really hates, but nobody really enjoys playing Misery, either. It's a flawed mod with very large marketing.[/QUOTE] I've been playing Misery for the last two or so weeks and so far have loved it, aside from a few parts where quests broke or things were retardedly too difficult.

I tried the Arena in StalkerSoup. Does anybody else lag a massive amount in there? I'm fine everywhere else, but as soon as I get in their my FPS slows to a crawl. I spent about 30 minutes trying to defeat the Exoskeleteon FN2000 dude with my knife. (The fact that my camera spun 180 degrees whenever the guy knocked me away didn't help.)

CrommCruac just uploaded a modified version of [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/atmosfear-for-call-of-pripyat/addons/sweetfx-for-call-of-pripyat-presets"]SweetFX for CoP[/URL]. Haven't tried it out yet, but the screenshot looks good.

Playing through Lab X-18 for the first time using LURK oh god oh god oh god oh god I need cuddles and hugs

It'd be fine for vanilla CoP, but with mods you kind of already get that effect by having higher res textures and stuff.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;41038735]Oh god, not this. Making Stalker oversaturated is not better than making it completely brown.[/QUOTE] You need to get your eyes tested or learn the definition of image saturation. [IMG]http://media.moddb.com/images/downloads/1/56/55745/vibrant02.jpg[/IMG]

Sorry, but no. If I need bright colors I'm gonna play Far Cry 3.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;41046067]Is the CS stamina system pissing anyone but me off? Last time I played it was in 2010 and I had no idea it was THIS bad. Any mods reworking it out?[/QUOTE] It's the same as SoC.

The difference is that the majority of CS is basically "SCAR SCAR SCAR THERE'S A BATTLE GOING ON GET IN THEEEEREEEE AAAAAAAAAAA" and you miss out on a lot of goodies if you don't catch the NPCs going at it.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;41046205]It's the same as SoC.[/QUOTE] I think that the player movement speed is slower than SoC and you can't have infinite stamina with Moonlight artifacts this time around. [QUOTE=PrusseLusken;41046067]Is the CS stamina system pissing anyone but me off?[/QUOTE] Use the NPC guides to ferry you around - it doesn't cost that much and they're pretty flexible in terms of locations they can take you to.
