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

[BloodShot12]

Improved Izumrudnoye?

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;46816822]Improved Izumrudnoye?[/QUOTE]

Yup, I've opened up the stage, and we're adding a bit more verticality and foliage to the area.

[BloodShot12]

Just curious, does redux use absolute nature, or not?

Also if it doesn't has CoP's grass been made to match the terrain color so it properly blends instead of just popping in?

[POLOPOZOZO]

Alright friends this winter I finally want to ease myself into loving this game like I did with Dark Souls, I know it's possible.

How do I do this? Do I just play CoP? I tried vanilla SoC a few years back and it was crazy hard and the shooting seemed clunky and I was really put off by how glitchy and unpolished it all was.

Start with SHoC. Patch the game to 1.0006, get [URL="http://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/"]the latest ZRP version[/URL] and throw [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/photo-realistic-zone-2"]some fancy texture mod[/URL] on top (this is already 10 times better than complete).

And make sure to play on master.

[POLOPOZOZO]

is that the equivalent of ranger on metro or are you pulling my leg

[editline]29th December 2014[/editline]

also is there anything to make the UI cleaner?

[PollytheParrot]

Its the way the game is meant to be played

Bullets are punishing to both you and the enemy, but its nowhere near impossible

Yeah, Abs Nature 3 and Abs Structures along with AtmosFear 3 and the Grass Patch.

[Meller Yeller]

I know you're not supposed to use mods for the first playthrough (which I'm doing) but would something like AtmosFear be okay? And would I have to start a new game?

[NikolaT]

So in the misery game files where might I find the texture for that awful ghillie suit overlay?

[Kingo64]

Someone going to add entry/exit wound decals to NPC models on OpenXray?

[Lyokanthrope]

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;46819305]Someone going to add entry/exit wound decals to NPC models on OpenXray?[/QUOTE]

fun fact
x-ray already had those, just disabled since ~2006 because THQ/GSC are idiots

[pr00ch]

GSC will announce Stalker 2 in 2015.

Or at least tease it.

So many updates .. release, soon!

1) Blur can be disabled,
2) Fire is still a 'primitive' texture

[Col. Buggernuts]

If I wanted blur, i'd take off my glasses.
I don't mind motion blur, but the other sorts can bugger off, especially the sort that occurs during reloading.

[NikolaT]

A mod should make the AI heed radiation and anomaly hazards better. The AI currently doesnt seem to give a shit about anomalies or radioactive areas.

Most SoC mods let NPCs navigate radiation and anomalies as far as I've seen

[Col. Buggernuts]

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;46820786]Most SoC mods let NPCs navigate radiation and anomalies as far as I've seen[/QUOTE]With varying degrees of success. The one that came standard with Freeplay Start just herded them into anomalies regardless; prolly because Xiani, for reasons unknown, decided to add near-0 radius anomalies that are almost harmless to the player, but instakill the AI. Particularly true of whirligigs.

Can it be re-enabled?

[Loner]

With .dll's that re-enable them, like the FOV cvar and such.

IIRC OGSE has them. But they're for 1.0006 only and I find them to be pretty unstable.

Ok so I have loads of updates;

[I][B]In Spite Of Death[/B][/I] now joins forces with [I][B]Under The Death's Cover. Artefacts Trove 2.0[/B][/I]! Here's a trailer:

[B]Re-animation project 2.0 (CoP)[/B]

[QUOTE]So I have not even looked at the mod since release... Been busy with life and such. My original though was to let it go and just end it. But once again I am feeling the urge to do some more work on the mod.

SO... the mod is going to get finished, but it may take some time.

What needs to be done is follows:

1.Finish the weapons that need to be re-animated yet.
Namely snipers, explosives, and throwables.

2. Bring the part I up to speed with Par II
I will be adding some addional animations to the shotguns and pistols.

3. Polish
Need to work out any bugs. The bug with the fort pistol and its problem with the 545 shell texture will be fixed. Just as an example..

As for work in the Lost Alpha Project.... Back burner untill this one is done.

How's the ModDB stuff going pal?

Also dunno if you guys saw, but ETS2: MP won MOTY very dubiously, I really think ModDB need to reconsider their MOTY system.

[Lyokanthrope]

ModDB is a joke in general tbh
