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

[QUOTE=Carlito;46570894]Now that I have graduated, am of legal drinking age, and am bored out of my mind, does anyone know of a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. drinking game that I could try out?[/QUOTE] you need to do some of the challenges - cry and dump ice water over your head every time you kill a man, followed by a swig of vodka and some ham - i'll remember the rest as soon as i find the challenge jpg

This needs more attention, because although it isn't exactly STALKER, it's a spiritual successor built on the Cryengine and they have some awesome ideas: [video=youtube_share;EXil1SDZ6Qw]http://youtu.be/EXil1SDZ6Qw[/video]

it has aliens, how is that keeping in theme with mutants and radiation?

[QUOTE=Pops;46575984]yeah that's it[/QUOTE] I kind of want to try this now.

You guys probably get this question a whole lot, but what overhaul mod/mods should I use with Call of pripyat? Been wanting to give the game another go (didn't get far the last few playthroughs) and unsure which is the "best" mod to download. Opinions?

Trying to figure out how to install Shoker mod for COP. Been wanting to try it since... well, not sure what else other than SGM to try (which bugged out on me. Whenever I try to go back to Zaton, the game either crashes or it corrupts my saves) Okay so I have Steam version, I download the installer, run it (hit next on everything), and it crashes when I try to start. what's up with that?

Replayed SoC again, this time with Autumn Aurora 2. It was okay. I also spent a lot of time getting out an exploring levels. All that STALKER could have been. Some area also go on forever outside of the play area. Makes me wish mods made better use of the empty and left over spaces.

i was wondering if one of yous could help me out, i've been replaying COP with just atmosfear 3 and my own shitty little mod I made that gives the major gasmasks/helmets. and recently I've been going out for artifact runs in zaton but no anamolys are spawning any artifacts, I've even waited for emissions and then been one of the first stalkers to get to the anamoly out of fear the ai may have been clearing it out but nope still nothing. [editline]123[/editline] have some stalker related gmod stuff i did too.

Anyone know a good weather mod for CoP other than Atmosfear? I'm tired of the rain and gray of pripyat but atmosfear seems to drop my FPS, even the lite version.

There's SWTC, which is damn good.

Ooh, looks good, I'll try it out. Thanks.

Was using AO 2.3 with Pripyat Reborn, some of the arm models were messed up a bit so on a whim i just decided to straight up copy the hand meshes and textures from STCoP weapons pack into this, and it works no problem, and for the most part the meshes are much better [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/37482176402884230/3612517AE3E9D2AA9E371C4020885296C380045D/[/t]

Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong? I spent the last hour trying to patch OWR 2.1 full into Pripyat Reborn 1.14.7, and some files are apparently missing from OWR and it crashes on launch.

Every time I see somebody recommend complete for a first time player of SoC, I die a little inside. There are just so many better options for a new player; most notably the starter pack. Improved graphics and stability, bug fixes, all without being an unstable mess that actually reduces stability beyond patched vanilla and decreases difficulty to almost absurd levels. Really, I'd be less offended if AA2 was recommended to new players instead of Complete. AA2 is kickass without actually altering too much. Graphics and stability changes that blow Complete out of the water ith the only downside being the drastic ballistics changes and economy changes. [sp]i am as infatuated with aa2 as i am with cop redux[/sp]

When I played PR with OWR it was extremely CTD happy - and AO 2.3 has a merge with a stable version of PR, as well as most of the guns in OWR anyway. (2.4 is coming friday too with player shadows and other engine shit if you want to wait) 2.3's moddb is down but you can get it [URL="http://megagames.com/download/322462/0"]here[/URL], and I can upload the PR merge if you want

Thanks, i already picked up AO 2.3 and the PR merge, runs extremely well for me. I wish i could use SWTC instead of Atmosfear 3, unless someone already made a merge for that.

yeah those are fuckin' sexy

God damn OGSE seems like the next thing to play SoC with. I may not have the others, but I'm really glad I have the physical box/disc for ShoC. It's really nice having the case and the manual EDIT: Does anybody have a template for how hands_position and aim_offset etc. work in CoP? I'm trying to rearrange some weapons in AO but I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to shift them properly.

Any word on when new OGSE will be released?

Next year in between april and august.

I've embarked on a new clear sky adventure, this time with OGSM. Already three crashes in, and I've only just started in the swamps. Such is life in the zone. While the most crash prone, Clear Sky runs the best overall for some reason. Better FPS then SoC or CoP.
