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

[QUOTE=LoNer1;46774079]Anyone tried Fotograf? It looks both cool as unbalanced and very russian ... Worth spending some time on? Dave, you played it iirc, right?[/QUOTE] Yeah, the last time I tried it there was no English translation for it, so it was a struggle which I never finished. It's a fantastic looking mod with a novel storyline and with a proper translation worth a shot.

[QUOTE=Reyjr43;46775630] Pretty sure this could be scripted in if it doesn't exist already, but Arsenal Overhaul doesn't use a modified engine.[/QUOTE] The 2.4 version does.

It might be festivus but this thread is not the place for personal grievances.

Joe Mullin says the new GSC game is Cossacks 3, in case anyone is interested.

[QUOTE=Beacon;46776616]Joe Mullin says the new GSC game is Cossacks 3, in case anyone is interested.[/QUOTE] I can still get behind that. Cossacks is a damn fun series.

apparently OLR 2.5 is out?

If someone is gonna put me in stalkerbros, portray me right; grumpy old stalker who's talking to a bloodsucker at a campfire [editline]23rd December 2014[/editline] Also, everyone, including exo, i apologize. I had an art block yesterday which annoyed the heck out of me. I'm sorry for being a Sergey to you all

enough stalkerbros dont ever mention it again the chances of anyone doing it is slim and all it does is get lurkers to post asking to be put in it

id totally fukkin draw stalkerbros

I don't give a fuck about anything and anyone until Gunslinger is released. It is how it is.

First time I've seen 09. It looks good.

Does one save UI textures as DXT5 with no mipmap? I'm replacing AO's default UI with Ceano's minimal one, and I need to modify a file to shrink the thirst status indicators to fit with the others.

Whoever makes stalkerbros should just include a bunch of stalkers/bandits poking out from behind a wall or something, with the word "lurkers" above them. Problem solved.

Anyone who has experience with the OGSE shaders they released? I'm going to try them now. Modified .dll's usually result in crashing for me.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46777279]I believe so. Most useful source I've found on the topic is [URL="http://www.buckarooshangar.com/flightgear/tut_dds.html"]here.[/URL][/QUOTE]Thanks very muchly, it's been a while since I messed about with DDS textures. It's a bit wonky at the moment (and the original minor thirst indicator texture was a bit less green than the normal one), but it beats a great big black square.

In general, images with transparency(alpha channel) should be saved as DXT5 and without an alpha channel (for example, building textures etc.) should be saved DXT1 for lower file sizes, thus faster loading time and less crashes. Also, mipmaps on UI textures result in weird interpretation of the texture by the game. You'll get stuff like wrong coordinates for UI items, pruple UI textures etc. Best is to save UI textures without mipmaps and weight color by alpha. I don't know if this of any help to you, but I have [URL="http://www.moddb.com/members/iloner1/tutorials/texture-advice-for-stalker"]a small tutorial[/URL] regarding texturing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. here (this was based on weapons, but the file sizes part may come in handy)

PSA to all people working with UI textures and scopes. Please make textures for both 4:3 and 16:9.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;46777916]PSA to all people working with UI textures and scopes. Please make textures for both 4:3 and 16:9.[/QUOTE]Speaking of scopes, I need to find some replacement textures since some of the ones in AO, particularly the PU and the PSO's shorter cousin (can't remember it's name) are absolutely awful.

There hasn't been a Stalkerbros for quite some time now.

[QUOTE=ManRod;46777978]It's nearly 2015, who the fuck uses a 4:3 monitor anymore?[/QUOTE] I do. Some of us can't afford new computer equipment.
