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

SMRTER is finally back! About time, I'm honestly looking forward to it still after all this time. :dance:

[QUOTE=Doneeh;45658930] You know, some mod needs to add a white SEVA suit, or at least a greyish one. It's a nice color.[/QUOTE] I took a shot at one a bit back, but the SEVA texture looks pretty ugly when you crank up the brightness. All of its (many) imperfections show up bright as day.

Oh, what a errant fool I was for forgetting something so glorious! Would you look at the time, better go pray to the Monolith for forgiveness!

Monolith SEVA best SEVA by far

[QUOTE=Beacon;45662408]Monolith SEVA best SEVA by far[/QUOTE] Monolith everything best everything.

Cocaine in misery is so good.

So, slight dilemma. I've been trying to play Misery, but I crash almost -immediately- at the menu. I could rush into the game, and it works perfectly fine(albeit stuttering a little bit). But if I die, and go to the menu, it just crashes. No logs, nothing. Just doesn't respond. So I uninstalled -everything-, re-downloaded CoP, installed 2.1.1 again, and it's still doing it. I'm starting to think it's not worth the aggravation ._.

Although some feature designs are somewhat questionable at points. The stability has come a long way and as such works well. No idea what is causing your issue, apart from one of the two above, as I've never had that issue myself over the past 4 installs of misery.

I downloaded Misery straight from their site, with no error. The game runs fine, it just breaks randomly at the main menu. It puzzles me honestly, and it sucks that I cannot even get a crash log from it.

Are you running CoP as Admin?

I've had it a few times with no indication of a corrupt download until I redownloaded the mod itself and there after worked fine. Also as Xion21 said. Admin is also required unless UAC is disabled in it's entirety.

I could stay at the menu for a good two minutes. After I installed Misery, it just crashes, constantly at the menu.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;45672197]Do you get a crashlog if it does?[/QUOTE] I do not, it just goes straight to unresponsive. It doesn't give me the whole Client strap or that green bug that I remember seeing a couple times in vanilla CoP. I'm looking in my logs, most recent. I cannot open it in Notepad. Is there a program I can download to view .mdmp files?

Incoming GUNSLINGER update. [video=youtube;sciJXt0aHrk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sciJXt0aHrk[/video]

[QUOTE=Hammer7;45673361]Incoming GUNSLINGER update. [video=youtube;sciJXt0aHrk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sciJXt0aHrk[/video][/QUOTE] Animations look great but I don't like the hand textures very much.

Is there a place I can get AA2 without ST2? After I finish ST2 I'd like to play through the vanilla story with AA2. P.S. Fuck you mervin you little shit this is the third time you've teleported me right next to these exosuit fuckers I'm going to fucking slit you open.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;45673361]Incoming GUNSLINGER update. [video=youtube;sciJXt0aHrk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sciJXt0aHrk[/video][/QUOTE] Seeing stuff like that in action makes it seem really out of place in CoP, probably because the guns look miles better than, well, everything else in the video.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;45676817]Holy hell them firing particles[/QUOTE] As far as I can tell they're the same or about the same as the vanilla ones, only with more smoke.

god those sounds are orgasmic

[QUOTE=BuddieBBB;45677242]As far as I can tell they're the same or about the same as the vanilla ones, only with more smoke.[/QUOTE] No, definitely not the same. Firing particles in CoP are linear ejected particles which fade away a bit too quickly, these are probably made with a sphere in mind and you can see the smoke going out of the players vision, so it doesn't disappear as quickly as vanilla ones. It's a small touch, but I like it a lot. I do want to know if the particles are dynamically ejected or just affected by precalculated directions. The smoke goes mostly to the right of the player, hence why. It'd be weird to be moving to the right and having the smoke 'following' you along the way :v

[QUOTE=croguy;45677228]Seeing stuff like that in action makes it seem really out of place in CoP, probably because the guns look miles better than, well, everything else in the video.[/QUOTE] Once you've got high-quality guns the NPC meshes start to look bad by comparison. So you fix those, and then you start to notice how low-poly some of the level geometry is... [editline]13th August 2014[/editline] Which is basically why a whole bunch of Stalker modders are making furtive glances in the direction of UE4 and CE.

I do want to add, they disappear abruptly. I dislike that. Glad I'm soon going to edit every particle in Gunslinger by myself, so if you have any notions, let me know. I need to create some cool smoke-nade effects. Got some inspiring video's already [editline]13th August 2014[/editline] mymerge

discuss things with the Vman?

Any interesting mods come around yet? I've just been playing TFW as a loner and it's getting a bit boring.
