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

[etcetera]

[QUOTE=zombini;46664755]Yeah, it did. I don't know why but i think the dev got self-conscious or something, because it works flawlessly for me and many other people despite him taking it down because too many issues.

He's been a bit of a pretentious shit over that mod, first taking down an old version a week before putting the new one up because the new one is gonna be so much better. Now he takes it down because it has issues and i guess his pride is hurt over a few bugs.[/QUOTE]

Oh, from what I've heard on /stg/ there were quite a few issues with the latest version.

I think we should be careful before calling people "pretentious shits".

The only issues I've encountered were fixed with the patch that was released

[QUOTE=LoNer1;46663099]It wont be mergable easily. Wolf said that merging Gunslinger will require a lot of dedicated merging[/QUOTE]Sounds like a job for m.. oh, [I]dedicated[/I] merging. I'm out :v:

[Ca5bah]

Are there any huge mods for SoC that add in upgrades?

[dilzinyomouth]

fucking MISERY

So much for no "artificial difficulty", go into jupiter plant, deal with, no exaggeration: 4 packs of dogs, 5 hordes of zombies at probably 5-8 a piece, two pseudogiants, 5 fucking bloodsuckers and two controllers. The cherry on top, everywhere you go there is a fucking poltergeist that just magically sees you no matter how stealthy you are.

And thats just the shit I saw before I said fuck it.

[mezzokoko]

Just got myself Redux, installed russian VO and the only thing I am missing now is english subtitles. Didn't find an option to switch them on, and the only mod I found so far, doesn't work with Redux. Any tips? Must I play with the terrible English VO? I'd rather learn russian than do that.

Only two issues on my end after his patch, worst is that the GSh-18 crashes on equip, and player shadow is fucked up. Those are the only two issues i found, and instead of patching them as people suggest them, he takes it down and tries to hide that his pride is hurt because he had this big flawless release in mind.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;46664987]I really liked it but 2.4 has started CTDing a couple mins after I'm in jupiter

I have pripyat reborn addon so maybe that's it but I'm not sure how to fix it[/QUOTE]
2.4 isn't compatible with PR Addon, so that's where your crashes are coming from. It's not really compatible with anything due to the engine modifications.

[Nikpo]

Luckily WULFRAM THE GREAT was awesome enough to upload AO 2.4 for me. <3

I haven't had any issues with it so far, except for the shitty reload anims with 5.45 AK's, and a weird delay in the CZ-75's walking anim loop.
So far I'm really enjoying it though, killing all the mercs for their laptop was harder than I remember it being but was loads of fun.

I usually hire stalkers to go with me before I go to places like that or the Iron Forest. At the least they're able to thin the group out a bit first, then you can always leave, hire more, come back, etc.

Looking great! The only thing that sucks is the waiting... :)

Then again, the devs behind Frozen Zone are supposed to be announcing or releasing something on Dec 31st, according to their vk.com page.

I think I made a patch for that a long time ago. I'll see if I still have it when I get a chance.

There has been a PR add-on available for the last two or three AO releases, including 2.4. The little I played of the latest version was very buggy though.

All of the important stuff is subtitled. I could never get the subtitles for all of the random stalker greetings to work right.

It works perfectly well. The random greetings not being subtitled isn't an issue, I just got what I needed. Thanks alot. :rock:

edit: If I find time to figure out how this stuff works I might even try to complete a few of the lines. It is somehow also immersive though, if you interpret npc dialogue by situation or tone only, e.g. when they point a gun at your face.

I wish there was more dialogue with basic stalkers. I've seen mods add to it, but nobody really goes beyond the basic "rumors" or "tell me a story" stuff. It'd be cool to be able to talk with and bond with stalkers over time till you can befriend them and they'll go on raids with you and something. Even if there was only 2-3 different dialogue sets for it it'd still probably be rare enough to be okay.

[BloodShot12]

I always hear about how Sergey was a massive dick to GSC employees, but I never see any sources that confirm that.

Is that stuff true or not, and if so is there any reliable sources to back it up?

[jill920]

Ex-GSC said the general story for STALKER was ready, everyone was at the office with drinks and pizzas preparing for a small celebration, and Sergey came in and said "We're closing down"

Something like that.

[BloodShot12]

but I mean, like is there an actual source article or anything like that?

I can't seem to find anything

the sole consolation is that sergei will never again be able to screw over 4A and Vostok the way he screwed over GSC

[Decane]

Has there been any word on whether those working on the leaked source code(s) have figured out how to bypass the seemingly hard-coded shadow map quality degradation when the value of [I]r2_sun_near[/I] or [I]r2_sun_far[/I] is increased? Or at least how to make the degradation less aggressive?
