Exo, you're in a negative mood as of lately man

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;45588101]From STALKER Facebook[/QUOTE] It somehow bugs me that the scene is obviously from the transition from Agroprom to Garbage, but the loading screen is depicting the Wild Territory level changer loading screen.

I just started playing CoP and it's pretty neat (especially detectors), but I kinda like SoC's areas better. Are the areas outside of Zaton better?

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but I thought I'd just give my short opinion on Pripyat.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;45588501]Exo, you're in a negative mood as of lately man[/QUOTE] Nah, I'm actually very optimistic and in a postive mood, am I supposed to laugh and press "winner" when somebody posts some childish memes or "funny" comebacks? It's my opinion, am I not allowed to express it? I've been trying to stay away from this community for a while now, mainly because it's mindset hasn't changed at all over years, you're standing behind and ignoring everything else. I was in a middle of writing another sentence, but ah, there is no point really, this isn't going to change anything. A lot changes when you start to research out of your comfort zone, do things that you never thought possible, so I guess that's where my current point of view comes from. Anyhow, good luck, no need to get upset if I find something dumb or unfunny, just my two cents. If it really bothers you, I will try to keep that to a minimum.

when UE4 gets DK2 support I'm going to make a super atmospheric Agroprom Underground experience for the Rift get hype

[QUOTE=Beacon;45592713]when UE4 gets DK2 support I'm going to make a super atmospheric Agroprom Underground experience for the Rift get hype[/QUOTE] And that atmospheric experience will serve as the foundation for the totally going to be done stalker inspired game :downs:

[t]http://i6.minus.com/ibjQpnXVythgx.jpg[/t] Fuck me its gonna be a [I]while[/I]. EDIT: Oh shit? When did road to limansk come out? [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-road-to-limansk/downloads/upload-for-road-to-lamansk[/url] Shit, gotta set up CS again

I regret never playing this game because of the fact I was / am a massive pussy. I always felt like I'd be clenching my ass the entire time I'm playing. I want to play it, but I know the atmosphere of the game will make me shit bricks. It's like when I go dungeon crawling in Skyrim, I take forever and a day because I want to make sure nothing jumps out at me. I guess I'm just coming into this thread to let everyone know I'm a pansy.

I ran STALKER with such shitty graphics that I never got scared and shadows hardly existed, so nothing could sneak up on me. Now I don't like play playing STALKER with nicer graphics because I'm so used to seeing such shitty quality.

wtf, is road to limansk the same mod as CS 2014 or something? CS 2014 moddb no longer exists, and this mod plays exactly like that one did but with less crashing. It even has the fucking reversed skybox issue that 2014 had. Not that I'm complaining, it has awesome weapon models and arms, better gunplay and (so far) less glitches.

It didn't bother me, I actually wanted to ask if everything is alright. To just put it out there, my previous post was full of worries :v: And by no means I'm trying to stop you from expressing your opinion, it was just a brief moment where in I saw the ratings and you rated them all, so it triggered my reaction. - going on topic - Wolf has always been transparent about what had to be done. When we talked on Skype he, in detail, told me what was going to be done in the near future and what he'd consider. At the time he was focussing on the new grenade function and the diversity of them, which I had to create particles for. [B]tl;dr[/B] Exo, don't worry. It was a brief moment in which I asked myself if you were ok, Wolf is an awesome guy and great person to talk to.

So, is Autumn Aurora 2 good? Graphically it looks sexy as fuck

I enjoyed 2.04, it was pretty much the type of mod I was looking for to replay SoC, and I'm excited for the better weapon animations/blowouts/etc. 2.05 is gonna have The only thing I didn't like was the lack of color (which I fixed with sweetfx saturation) and the inclusion of burers, though that one is because I've never really found them scary with how they look, and their shield + attacks are kind of annoying.

[QUOTE=Covalent;45604291]So, is Autumn Aurora 2 good? Graphically it looks sexy as fuck[/QUOTE] It's not too bad at all. Turn off SweetFX (unnecessary and bugs Steam community) and you're good to go

[QUOTE=Covalent;45604291]So, is Autumn Aurora 2 good? Graphically it looks sexy as fuck[/QUOTE] AA2 is one of the most satisfying SHoC mods out there imho

I went to check it out, but it seems that it's been removed for now, on MoDDB.

[QUOTE=Ownederd;45604873]i remember when i tried to play stalker on a radeon 9250 and i had to use a directx wrapper just to get it to run[/QUOTE] The hell is a directx wrapper? Like a candy bar wrapper you put over the graphics card or something?

[QUOTE] except it doesn't stop when they die[/QUOTE] WHAT A GREAT FUCKING IDEA

[QUOTE=Covalent;45609394]Well sounds swell, are there any download links? I went to check it out, but it seems that it's been removed for now, on MoDDB.[/QUOTE] You can probably find some download links if you search around but 2.05 is coming out soon, and that has (much) better weapon anims, random blowouts in ShoC, and a couple other additions if you want to wait.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;45610040]The hell is a directx wrapper? Like a candy bar wrapper you put over the graphics card or something?[/QUOTE] a program that emulates hardware features in software so you can run newer games on older hardware I remember I had to do it with some old STALKER leaks because at the time I had a card that didn't support hardware T&L. Ah, 3DAnalyze, good times.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;45607891]AA2 is one of the most satisfying SHoC mods out there imho[/QUOTE] Some of the character models are a bit meh and you can really tell they're ripped from other games, but the scenery is fantastic.

I love the scenery but part of me really wishes there was an alt version of the scenery for a bit more classic look. The amount of vegetation really made the original areas look fresh and it'd be cool to see something more vanilla, or maybe even early build-ish.

It looks like someone merged Metro, Halo and Ghosts into one shitty model pack.
