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

Not even used?

I'm more interested in buying food.

I see.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;46777916]PSA to all people working with UI textures and scopes. Please make textures for both 4:3 and 16:9.[/QUOTE] No love for 16:10?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;46777952]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.[/QUOTE] [t]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/357/7/c/scopesquestionmark_by_mod_a_holic-d8awrtf.png[/t] Sorta like this?

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;46778001]I'm more interested in buying food.[/QUOTE] You should be more interested in finding a job.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;46778016] Sorta like this?[/QUOTE]The ones in AO are more like Gnomus' scopes but not so that the scope itself covers only a quarter or so of the screen. Might simply go full-screen with the scope anyway, since a 2d texture of the scope doesn't really look right under any circumstance. I hope those doing the engine modification consider Red Orchestra-style proper scopes.

[QUOTE=Drk;46778020]You should be more interested in finding a job.[/QUOTE] Hey man, don't be so harsh. He may already have a job (or 2).

Just send over the AO ones and Ill edit them nicely.

Just send over the AO ones and Ill edit them nicely.[/QUOTE]Not much point trying to salvage any of the bad scopes in AO, since they're basically like this [URL]http://i.imgur.com/VQVWR8q.jpg[/URL] The ones that aren't bad are either regular fullscreen style (the sniper G3 in particular just uses a clean if completely generic fullscreen scope), or outright Gnomus' scopes in the first place. Some of the others are tolerable, but much rather replace them. I think i'll just go fullscreen scopes. Just need to find suitable replacements for the dozens upon dozens of scope types. [editline]23rd December 2014[/editline] Although the better question to ask myself is if I can even be bothered to do so.

[QUOTE=Beacon;46776810]apparently OLR 2.5 is out?[/QUOTE] I believe it's been out for a while. Someone over at /sg/ posted a translation a little while ago. I don't know if it's any good or not.

[QUOTE=Beacon;46776616]Joe Mullin says the new GSC game is Cossacks 3, in case anyone is interested.[/QUOTE] *NAPOLEONIC WARFARE INTENSIFIES* It was about time to get my musket'n'bayonet-ing fix.

[QUOTE=ManRod;46777978]It's nearly 2015, who the fuck uses a 4:3 monitor anymore?[/QUOTE] people with high end crts.

Oh boy, the version of AO I downloaded a couple of pages back is kinda odd; it crashes when you give cardan vodka or fire a glock, all the scopes seem kinda broken (Might be my screen?) and general fun. I enjoy it though.

you have to use the hotfix [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0JtTjU3ezz4NkVqZnFkX1RLOTQ/view?usp=sharing[/url]

Oh boy ... My dad is hyped about [I]Elite: Dangerous[/I], thus resulting in what happened over 8 glorious years ago; It's time for an all new gaming setup! Back in the day when we had the time to [I]make, drink and digest coffee[/I], we got sick of waiting 5-10 min for a level to load so we got 2 new PC's. It's that time again, so anyone who can recommend me a nice setup that's both good for FPS as Elite? Top of the end card or not? Intel or AMD? etc.

Intel has outperformed AMD. Only downside is Intel costs more. Which I guess makes sense considering the aforementioned. As for tech stuff. I usually get my brother to do that kind of side of it. Although if it helps. I run a Intel I5 760 2.8ghz (Can be clocked up to 4ghz with a decent cooler) 8GB 1333mhz Ram Nvidia 1GB 560 TI It plays pretty much everything I throw at it very nicely.

Not bad. I was thinking of a top end i7, with a 9XX series Nvidia, 16GB Corair dominators, a Z87 Sabertooth and 2 x 240GB SSD's in raid, along with a few other things. HDDs we dont need, it's about the core of the PC. Also, my dad is willing to spend a lot of cash on his PC. Better invest in it so we can go forth another 6 years, than take a 600 series card or lower intel / amd and have stutter issues in 3 years. Here's what I had in mind; [B]CPU:[/B] Intel® Core™ i7-4790K, 4,0 GHz (4,4 GHz Turbo Boost) [B]GPU:[/B] EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 ([B]or maybe a 980[/B]) [B]MEM:[/B] Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1600 (CMD16GX3M2A1600C9, Dominator Platinum, Lite Retail) [B]MOBO:[/B] ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87, socket 1150 [B]SSD:[/B] Corsair Force LS CSSD-F240GBLS, 240 GB SSD

I'm drooling at just the idea of having that kind of hardware. :v: Even just for my modelling work. 8gb ram isn't enough for it. And my CPU isn't fast enough for rendering. :v:

It's painful to compensate on a model only because your PC can't handle it. It's like saying no to your only child when they ask for something you can't give them :'(

Re: F.O.T.O.G.R.A.F. mod, this is a (mercifully) short video I made of it last year. Sorry for crappy lag etc it was my first (and last) tryout with Bandicam [url]http://www.moddb.com/members/d4v33edz/videos/fotograph-mod1#imagebox[/url]

Anyone tried Shoker weapon mod? To be honest, there's a baffling amount of weapons mods, and i'm not sure which are new content, which are kitchen-sink collections and which take a more quality-conscious selection process.

I was in the mids of translating the thing when my HDD borked. I might pick it up again and re-translate it. But I'm now focussing more on my 3 main mods

[QUOTE=Hammer7;46778009]No love for 16:10?[/QUOTE] 16:10 master race reporting in, please love us bros. :v: On another note, if there's a lack of 16:10 scope textures I'd be glad to "make" some (photoshop them and then make them work with remotely any mod asked for.)

To be honest, there's a baffling amount of weapons mods, and i'm not sure which are new content, which are kitchen-sink collections and which take a more quality-conscious selection process.[/QUOTE] I have SHOKER installed, it's an interesting mod and the installer is completely in Russian. The game however, is in English, I like SHOKER, it has nice weapons but most of the weapons in SHOKER already existed in, or were ported to AO afaik.

iirc Shoker is a bit in between. Some models/textures are pretty darn good, while others look like ass.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;46779102]Just curious, would you know if anyone's tried to merge MSO with STCoP?[/QUOTE] If MSO hasn't been merged with STCoP I could try my hand at it, I love MSO and I do need more guns to play with. I cannot however, debug for jack shit with the error handler because there's never enough info for me, I believe last time I tried modding I broke my game and couldn't figure out why :v:

Eh, figure i'll wait til AO 2.4.1 is released. Searching through all these weapon mods is giving me a headache. One idea i've been playing around with for a bit is a mod that sort of sets the clock back about 40-60 years in technology; so basically before tacticool ever existed, and the GP-5 was actually top-notch tech rather than something only an idiot wears to a real nuclear or chemical disaster. Stalkers wandering around with various kinds of WW2 to early Cold War weapons, and old gas masks; none of the exosuit or ecologist suit sort of stuff. Would require a replacement of a lot of stuff e.g. the helicopters (hell, the whole concept of being around Pripyat), vehicles, various other background elements, a new UI (think Metro's notebook) and a lot of other things well beyond my capabilities, but makes for an interesting idea.

AO 2.4.1 is gonna have a merge with MSO too, hopefully it'll be stable unlike the Pripyat Reborn addon was. I really hope the LA DC makes the game decent, I quite liked some of LA's music [video=youtube;0Gtt9Zkn-Ms]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gtt9Zkn-Ms[/video]

I want to make a game based on [URL="http://thesickland.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/last-day.html"]this.[/URL] It's a creepypasta-style blog set in a Zone-like area called The Sick Land. There are research bunkers, expeditions, anomalies and weird artifacts, it's very Stalker-like and very cool.
