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

I want a CDV-700 geiger counter. [video=youtube;ijaZ1GvMhd0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijaZ1GvMhd0[/video]

I just noticed something in SoC--it seems that the roles that Duty and Freedom play seem to be against their background. Duty, the military-style faction, runs a town, and Freedom, the friendly, power-to-the-people faction runs a military compound. Duty, who's all about keeping the Zone from spreading, and keeping people from getting their hands on the Zone, basically offers their protection to a population of Zone profiteers, and Freedom, who's all about sharing the Zone with everyone, maintains a garrison dedicated to keeping shit out from the center of the Zone.

[QUOTE=Gunner th;46767329]So that's why STALKER 2 was canceled. Strelok left to make guns.[/QUOTE] Of course, the guns he makes can be sold as in a better condition than the ones he can loot from bandits, which means he can make more RU. I didn't know there was such a big workshop under the bar though. [sp]In STALKER 2 you will be playing Strelok, who pissed off the stalkers by making too shitty weapons for them for too heavy prices and needs to escape the zone in order to avoid being lynched and fed to a pack of dogs. In order to convince the military to take him aboard the evac chopper he makes up some shit about having information about the monolith and the possibility to destroy the zone.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Gunner th;46767329]So that's why STALKER 2 was canceled. Strelok left to make guns.[/QUOTE] "[...]And I guess I should be grateful for that. And to express my gratefulness I will make the cheekiets gun to ever have breekied."

The quality of guns in AO is rather all over the place. Some are terrible (like the Barrett), and others are so excellent I feel like using nothing else (like the Desert Eagle/Bear). I'm wondering if other weapons packs have better quality versions of those guns, which I could replace them with; take the best from each to tide me over for when Gunslinger is released.

[QUOTE=Odellus;46767057]i don't think having STALKER written across your forearm is a very good idea...[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/dF5qn/611b844141.jpg[/img] ?

It only does the weapons though, but it does add new stuff like some 3d scopes and optics like detachable red dots.

I'm about to start a new game on CoP what mods are recommended? i'd say graphics mods but i dunno if my pc can handle it or not haha

MSO is good for A-Life overhaul.

Beac, please give me a 'how-to' to blend grass with the terrain. I can't get it working. I mean, who likes to see this? [t]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/356/e/8/xr_3da_2014_12_22_19_22_55_97_by_mod_a_holic-d8asl5s.png[/t]

Jesus Christ, that blur will make me blind

Exo, you make me wish this forum had a 'mute function', so we could just avoid eachother :v: -- After 10 seconds of searching, I saw you can "Ignore" users. Good. Will he be able to see my posts?

he can see your posts but you can't see his unless he ignores you also

Honestly, idk what his problem is guys. Idk what i did to upset him. I mean, was there any harm in that screenshot? Neither did i ask for his opinion. He just reacts to everything i post or say and i dont know why. [editline]23rd December 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=PollytheParrot;46772142]he can see your posts but you can't see his unless he ignores you also[/QUOTE] I wish it worked both ways if it came from 1 end. I'd love to never see his posts again in this thread. Kind of tired because he keeps venting off his 'whatever frustrations' he may have on me. I dislike people who're acting like dicks, just because they can.

Ok, My hype function (-(Amount of mod promotions)^2+Mods installed+Stalker games)) is already approaching it's absolute maximum So better start releasing them all raight nau, dayum PS: Any news on that radical revolutionary fantastically fantastic russian mod that added new anomalies to Call of Pripyat? PS2: Imagine if the games were made by Spanish-speaking people: La sombra de Chernobyl Cielo Claro La llamada de Pripyat Nononono, uncool as fuck. Keep them English please. Da. Thanks.

I just replied to you 2 times, quit being so self oriented. Aren't these forums free, am I not allowed to express my opinion on shitty looking screenshots, saying that they're shitty? Like I said, truth stings I suppose, take care RuNNeR1. Let me wish you back what you wished for me - so that every project of yours dies and you disappear with them.

Anyone tried Fotograf? It looks both cool as unbalanced and very russian ... Worth spending some time on? Dave, you played it iirc, right?

Why is anyone bothered by it, though? Its dependant on someones user.ltx, so even if i were to release that mod, your guys screens would look totally different. I like to play with bloom, sorry you guys dislike it. I will keep it in mind next time when i post a screenshot. Also, exo, iirc we resolved whatever there was going on between us. I do remember, after searching my online history. I even apologized for my shitty behavour at the time and after that (oct 2013) we havent talked for as far as i know. Now, if you still disagree with me or i missed out on something i'm sorry, but my memory doesnt go way back for someone i met online and rarely talked to. I did like the vids you posted on youtube, like i said now 5 years ago [editline]23rd December 2014[/editline] Wow cubemap in the scope? Mad.

Is the option of having different reload sounds for partial or full reloads in COP possible with the vanilla game or is it only possible with a modified engine? I know Arsenal Overhaul does it but I'm not sure if it's because it uses a tweaked engine or not.

I won't lie, bloom just feels out of place in STALKER (and most of the time, I dislike bloom in any game, it's usually too bright and not modifiable so it hurts my eyes, strains them very bad) that's why I personally didn't like the image, you can say that I'm hating on it but I'm not, I'm just giving my 2 cents on bloom. I don't like it because it hurts my eyes, so as long as I can turn it off (if you were to release a mod) I don't give a shit frankly.

He dislikes it, his peferences. You like to play with it? It's totally fine. You shouldn't have said things like: [QUOTE=LoNer1;46771965]Exo, you make me wish this forum had a 'mute function', so we could just avoid eachother :v: ...[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=LoNer1;46773739]Neither did i ask for his opinion..

I dislike people who're acting like dicks, just because they can.[/QUOTE] You posted an image, asking: [QUOTE=LoNer1;46771393]I mean, who likes to see this?[/QUOTE] You directly asked for opinions. Rhetorical or not. But, you did not upset him in anyway. He was not mad, angry, insult, or force you to play with his bloom settings. You can post as many screenshots with that bloom as you want. Someone else could have said "That bloom is on par with LURK" or "Which version of LURK is this?", it would still meant the same (though the latter is more of a joke question), but everyone would have laughed because the LURK reference. In the end, no one is at false here, don't get upset over tiny things like this, will ya? The STALKER Facepunch community should be friendly and overall enjoyable.
