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

[QUOTE=Etcetera;45751149]Survivarium hasn't even been released yet and already people have ripped its weapon models. Russians, man[/QUOTE] That's how things go, man.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;45751333] [sp]pls dun haet on my vid editing skillz. I dont want to show gameplay just yet, just a teaser for on the page[/sp][/QUOTE] Yeah, alright. Change "From the people behind" to "From the team behind" - sounds far more professional. Likewise, "A new project emerged" is awkwardly phrased. Emerged in the past tense suggests it's already been released, and use of the passive voice makes it sound like some sort of mutant threat, as opposed to something worked on by you guys. Honestly, you could just remove it entirely. Since we're watching a teaser it's pretty obvious that it's something new. The cloud of features is a pretty interesting way to present them - I like it. The logo doesn't quite look coherent - the "VANILLA +" part is a [I]little[/I] too far from the STALKER bit. I would, if I were you, move it up so that the two touch, and widen VANILLA + to be the same length as STALKER. You might also want to add something about it being for SoC somewhere, in the logo or otherwise. Now, you and I know it's got to be for SoC 'cos of ZRP and 1.0006 and so on, but I think in this case it's worth being clear. Stalker: Vanilla+ could refer to any of the three (and indeed I suppose it might, if this project is a success). Put a URL at the end, if you've got one. Sound design and music were good - they emphasised the Stalker feel of the video without being distracting. [editline]21st August 2014[/editline] Overall the video was pretty good, as teasers go. Looking forward to seeing what you do with ingame footage.

AA 2.05 is out on moddb

I'm playing misery and I'm currently recruiting people for the pripyat mission. I allied with freedom and got strider accepted, too. For a little while he used to stand by one of the tables at Yanov station with his monolith buddies but suddenly they're all gone. Is this normal? Where'd he go, fuck.

There hasn't been any news on Redux 2 since 2013 on moddb Or am I looking at the wrong page?

that is correct, I stopped updating ModDB, but there are more recent posts on my blog we're preparing for a rename and stuff right now :)

And I don't know if Misery 2.X changes this or not, but I recall that Strider usually hangs out by the door of the leader of the Faction they've been accepted to.

While searching for Skadovsk references, I stumbled upon something.. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Mn2wVUP.jpg?1[/t] Magnificent.

The tark fucking the banditsucker or the stalker bros? easy to get confused

Blåberry, no

Crisis strikes again. Is it bad that I assume it's always Crisis?

Erotic Stalker fanart being as niche as it is - no, it's not unreasonable.

Installing Call of Pripyat, never played it with mods, which one should I get?

Hi guys, would anyone here be able to help me out with an issue i'm having with the Steam version of Shadow of Chernobyl? Basically my game seems locked to 60FPS even though vsync isn't turned on and I have no idea what's causing it. This is the 1st time i've played 1.0006 as i've not played S.T.A.L.K.E.R in a while and i've only just encountered it now. To my knowledge 1.0005 never did this so I have no idea what's going on. I've tried the following: 1) Playing the Vanilla game. No mods, no launch commands - still the same issue. 2) I've installed Autumn Aurora 2 and unlocked the framerate in the ENB included yet it's still capped to 60FPS. 3) Tried different display drivers. I'm using a MSi 290 and i've tried 14.2, 14.4 and now 14.7 Beta 3. Again, the issue still persists. Note that I tried installing the display driver only, then the display driver with CCC. 4) Re-installing Windows and re-installing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Still nothing. While the game runs fine at 60FPS i'm getting 'mouse lag' and it just doesn't feel as responsive as what i'm used to. All my other games are absolutley fine whilst trying the above methods. This is what the rs_stats on command displays (FPS is in the top left): [IMG]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/41977056610388199/735FE9F710E457960D51BDA394971D99F9E06373/[/IMG] If anyone can help i'd appriciate it. Also, i'm in love with Autumn Aurora 2!

[QUOTE=Virtanen;45776014]Installing Call of Pripyat, never played it with mods, which one should I get?[/QUOTE] none, it's just fine vanilla play through once and then you can try mods and see what hey change and have much more appreciation for it

Filesmelt link doesn't work for me, there any other places Doom's was uploaded too?

[QUOTE=Virtanen;45776014]Installing Call of Pripyat, never played it with mods, which one should I get?[/QUOTE] I'd personally recommend MSO+AtmosFear 3(plus Absolute Nature 2 / 3 lite) if you're looking for an experience that doesn't change a whole lot of vanilla balances but makes the A-Life much more varied and dynamic. It doesn't really "work" for the first time playthrough since it breaks a few quests and puts a timer on some but it's a really nice mod for someone who just wants to focus on day to day stalkan instead of rushing through the plot. Basically more spawns for hostile stalkers, some A.I additions like Bandits being occasionally hostile-on-sight depending on the player behaviour and the dynamic resettlement of camps that were otherwise left empty in the base game. The spawning isn't totally bonkers,however, and it respects the Vanilla "gating" in many regards but there are exceptions like for example Pripyat is a free-for-all for all factions right from the start. From what I understand, Pripyat Reborn is a similar type of A-Life mod and doesn't have many of my annoyances I had with M.S.O. but on the other hand it's also more unfinished and apparently crashy ? Not that MSO wasn't crashy in some regards(it's a must to keep multiple saves) but from what I hear Pripyat Reborn was totally abandoned mid-development because the author focused on Call of Chernobyl(which is fair,I guess, juggling multiple projects takes time) so it seems that a lot of the mod's kinks were never really worked out. [QUOTE=Sunkite;45776489]Does dooms copmerge include any new weapons, by any chance?[/QUOTE] Doom's CoP Merge doesn't have any new weapons, IIRC. It's a merge of Call From Chernobyl, M.S.O. and Darkenneko's CoP variation mod. [editline]herp[/editline] Valley of Whispers can be merged with Shoker 2.1 although it has one super annoying feature, which is hit markers that appear when you shoot guys and hit them.

So I was looking to play some Autumn Aurora 2 with SoC, but I cannot find the original disk that I had. Fuck.

you know you're a bit weird when you put massive-res soviet maps of the Chernobyl from the 1980s into your mod to replace the shitty low res ones left is vanilla, 256x256res right is redux, 2048x2048res [t]http://puu.sh/b4CD6/c42d265bdc.jpg[/t] also, the authenticity is strong with this one - guess the town [t]http://puu.sh/b4CNP/f04456b85f.jpg[/t]

Has anyone had input delay problems in CoP? I have a 144 hz monitor, and when I try to play CoP fullscreen with 60 hz mode enabled I get tremendous input lag. If I try to turn it off I get a BSOD, presumably because my graphics card doesn't like > 120 hz. There isn't an option to only run it at 120 hz, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
