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

doesn't the beretta have a slide release right near the thumb? Why not just push that down, to get the slide to go forward, instead of pulling on the hinges at the back to recock the slide to make it go forward?

Because vanilla STALKER animations.

Another irrelevant question from the new guy : I'm having a hard time using scopes. I've got the arsenal overhaul installed, so I'm not sure if this is what's doing it. The cross hair in any scope I use in the lower half of my sights, yet when I shoot, it seems to hit in the top area of my sight. Is there away to adjust this? Edit : This is in CoP.

Have you installed the 4x3 scopes fix from the optionals folder included with the mod?

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46199059]Have you installed the 4x3 scopes fix from the optionals folder included with the mod?[/QUOTE] Why don't devs just make use of the 16:9 texture allocation in the scopes.xml file? That's what I've done in the past, that way you can have 4:3 and 16:9 scopes without having to muck around with files. Retards.

I've been away from Stalker since a few weeks after AA2 got released and heard that the CoP source code has been made publicly available. What's the actual extent of the implications that this has for CoP modding? The word I have in my head is "massive" but don't even have a fleeting idea what this could actually mean. Stability improvements? Actual engine optimization? Good god, multithreading?

Find a table at the bar and get drinking, or pull up a chair by the stove and chat with the locals..."[/I] Inspired by the Metro series and the unfortunately cancelled mod 'The Gritty Zone', we’re trying to give bases in Stalker a more organic, lived-in feel. We’ve rebuilt the Skadovsk's interior from the ground-up using original and brand new props to create a cosier, more realistic Stalker camp.

wow, that's great. Things like these really improve immersion.

Would a stalker really go through the effort of dragging a whole sofa in the Skadovsk, though?

I would suggest they'd do anything they could to try and improve their comfort levels even slightly - a couch would go a fair way towards that, and would be fairly manageable to do with a pair of Stalkers I'm getting ideas of missions to escort Stalkers transporting furniture to camps now

[QUOTE=Gum;46206761]Would a stalker really go through the effort of dragging a whole sofa in the Skadovsk, though?[/QUOTE] You just hire a couple of bandits and lift one from an old house nearby.

If you had to live in that place for some time you too would want a sofa, no matter how tattered. People go to amazing lengths for comfort.

I know I'd want a sofa [editline]11th October 2014[/editline] I walked around the Zone for two days and I certainly needed a sofa afterwards

Put stacks of porn mags and a box of tissues near the sofa.
