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

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;41115570]Will you have to start from the ground or you can import stuff/scripts? That's something I have always wondered when game devs/modders moved things from one engine to another.[/QUOTE] Start from the ground. Just need people to port/make assets to use!

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;41115437][url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/spectrum-project[/url][/QUOTE] [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/20/19446/567837.jpg[/t] [editline]herp[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/SDt8msI.jpg[/t] This image piqued my interest since it's clearly modeled after a scene in the leaked S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 concept art. Either way, it's really nice to have completely new levels since old Clear Sky levels simply pasted into CoP feels kind of out of place sometimes. [QUOTE=Beacon;41115835]it doesn't look nearly as impressive though[/QUOTE] It doesn't but with AtmosFear and ATP applied it might look p. good from ground level. The mod seems to be [I]extremely[/I] WIP so it's kinda early to judge.

it doesn't look nearly as impressive though

I've completed SoC a few times now and getting kinda bored, what makes Complete so bad? It seems pretty cool, just absolutely not for your first play through of course.

It just doesn't offer any real reason to play it if you're a veteran of the series other than the pretty graphics. If someone enjoys it it's not skin off my back but personally I find it obsolete except for an easy to install rookie stalker's Start Pack substitute if one doesn't feel like scouring the web or figuring out the install process for all kinds of mods and graphics enhancements that may or may not work together. [editline]derp[/editline] rats, well to not completely waste a pageking let's have some zone pics up in here : [t]http://i.imgur.com/nZ2bS.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RMym2.jpg[/t]

I was playing Call of Pripyat today and my power supply exploded. 3rd power supply this week.

[QUOTE=nige111;41109974]Anyone else aware of this guy's moddb page? [url]http://www.moddb.com/members/davidme[/url] It's got a few links to some of the more obscure russian mods, some translated, some not.[/QUOTE] Oh wow, what should I try :P

[img]http://i.imgur.com/BcBse9X.jpg?1[/img]

Gonna play SoC all over again. It's been too long since i last finished it. Is there mods recommended to make the game look better? and improvements to the gameplay? Currently looking at this. [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009[/url]

Don't. Shit mod.

Just checked OP, said dont use complete :P, but the list of recommended mods isn't working for me. Anyone recommend any? Hows L.U.R.K?

[QUOTE=peterboi;41121692]Just checked OP, said dont use complete :P, but the list of recommended mods isn't working for me. Anyone recommend any? Hows L.U.R.K?[/QUOTE] L.U.R.K is pretty good in my opinion. It doesn't change the game too dramatically, just improves things like the look of the game and weapon diversity. Also in contrast to vanilla, the weapons are accurate to a point beyond 5 meters.

[QUOTE=Pops;41105800]so in my searches of google i randomly came across some guy's depictions of what stalker suits looked like in roadside picnic [img]http://www.fengzhudesign.com/blog/fzd_roadside_01a.JPG[/img] im sure you guys have seen them before, and i have to say from reading the book, these suits are mostly on the spot for what i imagined them to be like.[/QUOTE] Why do they have guns? There's absolutely nothing to shoot in the zone. Also, don't know about the translations, but in the original, Redrick describes the suit as "Nothing fancy if you look at it"; "Looks like a diving/pilot/astronaut suit with a big window in the helmet"; "Very light, comfortable" and that he wishes he could re-paint it from red to a more fitting color... Sounds a lot more like this suit from Stalker, rather than the space marine armor pictured above.

[QUOTE=J. F. Christ;41123493]Why do they have guns? There's nothing to shoot in the zone.[/QUOTE] Each other?

[QUOTE=Etcetera;41123529]Each other?[/QUOTE] Have you even read the book? It's nothing like the zone in the game, except anomalies. By the way, here's some art I've accumulated in some time: [img]http://i.imgur.com/yXuwzDp.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/UvZUctz.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/I0MWvGL.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/cgdb3h0.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/w1iz11J.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/4KUX73x.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/DspojCY.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/sHZmFg6.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/ipPqSSU.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/7TC3Qel.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/sMv2cec.jpg[/img]

The amount of artistic in this thread lately has gone skyrocketing. Also drunken stalker stream sometime soon.

[QUOTE=J. F. Christ;41123581]Have you even read the book? It's nothing like the zone in the game, except anomalies. [/QUOTE] The one where Stalkers try and lure each other into deadly anomalies for a chance to get at the riches of the Zone?

Happy Midsummers/Jāņi, Stalkers! All the Latvian Stalkers in the Zone will be properly drunk as SHIT

[thumb]http://i.imgur.com/yXuwzDp.jpg[/thumb] This is almost exactly like what I imagined the boot to be. Also, I made my dad read Roadside Picnic after I read it, now he wants to see Сталкер.

[QUOTE=nige111;41125754]This is almost exactly like what I imagined the boot to be.[/QUOTE] That's a huge boot. What brand are you thinking of?

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;41125773]That's a huge boot. What brand are you thinking of?[/QUOTE] That's what Red referred to it as in the book, because it looked like a big flying boot.

[QUOTE=nige111;41125785]That's what Red referred to it as in the book, because it looked like a big flying boot.[/QUOTE] Sounds funnier in Russian: Galosha :v:

[IMG]http://puu.sh/3kTD8.jpg[/IMG] He just looks so [I]surprised[/I]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;41123512]So does your place experience constant power spikes or do you buy shitty no-brand PSUs because it's a wonder your hardware hasn't been fried yet[/QUOTE] Probably a combination of both. My garage is full of like 200 watt no brand PSUs and I can't be assed to haul myself to microcenter to buy a good one. I should probably do that.

So I went to the Bar and apparently... Everyone is depressed.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/OtJ2cV6h.jpg[/img_thumb] While I was inside, the leftover script activated and guard actually was able to let me out and then stand in the entrance again.

Got People Soup to work. Why the fuck is the sawed off such a fucking accurate gun? I just got headshotted with one from so far away I didn't even see the dude. What the fuck man.
