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

[QUOTE=Beacon;45809384]Why 'team[B]s[/B] who created'?[/QUOTE]

I wasn't the only one who worked on PPx / PRZ2 and these guys are helping, once more ;) Credits will ofc. follow once I'm going to release v1, which will be soon.

Hope most of you guys will have the time to check it out. Someone already saw through my idea of it being the "Complete" without all the stupid changes it makes to the game.

I understood that, but using 'team' in the plural makes it sound like you have multiple teams working on it is all.

Is Lost Alpha playable now? It's on it's 3rd patch. I got up to the Doctor in the Swamps and my game just kept crashing during the cut scene so I gave up.

It is, but you need to start all over again.

They are going to release the SDK soon, though. So, expect some really, really great mods to be released!

[croguy]

I wonder how much more practical will working on the X-Ray be with the new SDK. It almost feels as if the reason why there's not many complex mods out there is because nobody wants to tackle the old versions into submission.

[Beacon]

Considering the new SDK is apparently only compatible with LA it won't help much

[Muukkis]

All I really want is Xiani's FreeplayStart, Lost Alpha edition.
Just the ability to join factions and spawn into their base right at the start, some repeatable missions for faction leaders and neutral traders and increased A-Life activity peppered around the maps to make freeplay worthwhile, it's all I desire from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[QUOTE=croguy;45815432]I want to unfuck Lost Alpha's story. Remove all the third person cutscenes, the illuminati... that kind of stuff.[/QUOTE]
I'd love that, plus the ability to sequence break if you know certain ways to bypass story sections via secret routes / quests because holy balls it's annoying to go through the Darkscape sequence two-three times just to turn in quests for some dickpipe.
Also, the Dead City segment shouldn't probably have [sp] the military killing all the mercs because now it's essentially just a boring cutscene you don't even watch as the military mops up the mercenaries while you jerk off in the corner of your cell while all the cool stuff is happening outside and you can't participate.[/sp]

It's funny, LA made the mistakes the actual STALKER team didn't want to make. I should have probably given them more credit for making SoC the way it is.

And I can't tell you how much I learned since I joined the internets (Thanks Bush for that)

Contrasting my 2009 posts in Moddb to my actual posts elsewhere makes it seems that the account was hijacked...

[/QUOTE]

Whenever somebody mentions Lost Alpha and the SDK I can't help but think of Jamie Lee Curtis film "VIRUS".

You know, the russians as in the real russians would be the machines and humans would be Lost Alpha...MONSTERS MADE OF CHOPPED AND TINY PIECES OF LOST ALPHA

[Muukkis]

[QUOTE=Doneeh;45816983]It's funny, LA made the mistakes the actual STALKER team didn't want to make.[/QUOTE]
...yet made anyway.
At least if you're talking about :
-Unskippable in-game cutscenes which hamper the game (SoC, CS and CoP, with SoC being the least guilty of this)
-Railroading by brute force (Clear Sky, with level changers literally not appearing until you complete story sequences also quests must be done in linear sequence, CoP to some degree)
-Plot-vital characters that you MUST interact with and can't do without : (CS, CoP)
-Being subservient to one pre-defined group even against your own choice : (Clear Sky, with Clear Sky, CoP with the army).

I don't really know what mistakes you're referring to, but as far as I'm concerned personally, the Lost Alpha team did mostly what Olddocumentdesignstory.pdf described and took the rest from other GSC-inspired sources (like the Army Warehouses stage is[sp] almost a 1:1 recreation of a preview video from 2004 that shows the same scene[/sp]) and as far as game design goes, they went ahead and repeated the devices GSC used to constantly control the player's game experience. Which, in my opinion is unfortunate because in my opinion they had the unique opportunity to achieve a better balance between a strictly guided experience and one where the player is allowed a much greater degree of an illusion of player agency.

So the guy who's making a SoC-in-CoP mod that'll never be finished that he called Redux has renamed it to R.E.D.U.X. after I asked him to use a new name... I then said that was basically still the same thing and could he choose a new one, and he said no.

So I'm planning on replaying SoC, after I haven't touched CoP for half a year. Been looking for a few mods, but the most appealing I found was AMK Soljanka. Problem with that is that their site is under maintenance and a bit googling told me I'd have to dl 4 parts from rapidshare... yeah well, no thanks.

Any other mods like that? The only other story mod I know about is Priboi, but didn't like that one back in the day.

Anyone know if an old AMD Phenom II x6 can play Metro 2033 Redux? I read somewhere that if my CPU is pre-65nm/pre-bulldozer then it does not support SSE 4.1 (which it does not, it supports SSE 4a at max) but apparently 4A made a huge fuck up and made Metro/LL Redux only operate on CPUs with 65nm+ technology that are running SSE 4.1, otherwise the game crashes.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, too bad that the game crashes after loading with that AMK Soljanka mod. Guess it's because I only have 2gb of ram, but they could've atleast written that somewhere. All it says is to delete the shaders if you have an older PC, but without doing that, the game didn't even start at all.

Guess I'll stick to Oblivion Lost for now and might try Priboi out once again, that one worked atleast.

AMK runs on 1.0004, have you tried downgrading to 1.0004? And if you have, have you tried using the most recent version?

Well AMK Soljanka is made for 1.0006, atleast it says so in [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/amk-soljanka-final-2013-extended-edition/tutorials/installation-of-amk-soljanka-final-2013-extended-edition]their installation guide[/url]. The game starts normally, the typical loadscreen comes on, then there's another and during that one, windows had a popup about low memory and that I should close xrayengine.exe to free some RAM. Guess that's where the problem lays, most games crash for me when this happens.

And I have no idea if I have the most recent version of that mod, since their site is under maintenance and I downloaded the one from Etcetera's link.
