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

[QUOTE=Pops;46895613]it's because stalker is just so damn fine i seriously hope this mod gets a soc release[/QUOTE] They wont release it for SoC. Hamza told me it's too much of a hassle, sadly. I do admit, working with CoP once you've got the hang of it is way more fun than SoC, you've got more freedom to do shit like this instead of first thinking of a very ugly hack to get around doing the same damn thing :v: New updates for In Spite Of Death [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/26/25727/ss_asus_k56c_01-10-15_11-14-08_forest_sv.jpg[/t]

is that a poltergeist with legs?

Could be anything. My thoughts is that the fog itself is an anomaly field which does not look intimidating from outside, when you get inside it, weird shit happens. Though I could be wrong..

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46896834]is that a poltergeist with legs?[/QUOTE] Its torso and head have got the same shape as the one found in SoC's PDA entry, so I'd say yes.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46896834]is that a poltergeist with legs?[/QUOTE] More like controller from early builds.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46896834]is that a poltergeist with legs?[/QUOTE] More importantly, is that a penis?

Shit the CoP modding scene really seems to be building up for a blossom

I told you, guys, they won't drop it. Here's an example of current progress: [video=youtube;a9DFKsKb6g8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9DFKsKb6g8[/video] A working quests for 1 person - everyone can take it but only one can finish. The rest of players receive the "quest failed" message.

Though I could be wrong..[/QUOTE] That would be cool. The horror elements of STALKER are pretty lacking once you've been in the Zone long enough. Bloodsuckers were never as scary to me as they seem to be to other people; they'll get a jump scare out of me every once in awhile but generally I'm on alert anyway so I know when they're in the area by recon-ing everything first.

Imagine a mission to penetrate the deepest areas of the Zone and retrieve an artifact only ever rumoured, the first person to do so will make a shitload of money. Wouldn't that be amazing?

I just want co-op STALKER I've wanted it since SoC came out If this actually comes out I will be the happiest man [editline]10th January 2015[/editline] Hell since before SoC came out even, the ~2003 era site for Oblivion Lost listed 4 player online co-op as a feature :v:

I was just thinking about co-op stalker the other day. Imagine being with a buddy, he's on one side of a street behind cover, you on the other, both suppressed by AI. Then your buddy runs out of ammo, and you grab one of your spare mags and toss it across the street to him and he has to catch it. Shit would be cray

Or just the thing of artifact hunting together, or being sniper duo with one using binoculars to spot enemies, and the other one uses the sniper rifle to own.

I just wanna hold CoC in my arms like a cute little newborn baby girl

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;46899403]Or just the thing of artifact hunting together, or being sniper duo with one using binoculars to spot enemies, and the other one uses the sniper rifle to own.[/QUOTE] It'd be fun to just sit on a hill and snipe bandits together. :v:

Imagine 32 player coop in a mod like CoC, across multiple zones, forming little squads, making your own factions, competing with other player factions for artifacts and zone control. It'll be like a player-driven version of Clear Sky

This hypothetical is just getting bigger and bigger. Soon it's just going to be a functional DayZ in Pripyat.

All of this co-op talk is giving me a big wide childish smile across my face. I know I'm not supposed to get hype, but I just can't help it. [editline]10th January 2015[/editline] Also, for some reason when I approach Cardan in SGM 2.2, my game just crashes. What's with that?

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46900170]post the crash log...[/QUOTE] It gave me unexpected end of archive, the log archive that is.

I don't really see the appeal of making the game coop, to be honest. The whole point of the game is to feel lonely and isolated as you wander the Zone, and adding in a bunch of people cheeki breeking everywhere will just ruin that. I remember playing that STALKER Online MMO and having more people didn't really help, it just ended up being a mess. If anything that game was at its best when you were roaming alone, far from everyone else. Coop sounds good on paper but rarely ends up being that great in execution, especially when it's eaten up resources that could have gone towards making SP better.

It will certainly not be the same as Singleplayer, but equally memorable (if properly done). I think people have ~2-5 PvE coop in mind, rather than an MMO.

So here's a question. After playing MISERY+TAZ for hours, I decided to clear off and try AO+MSO. One thing though. Any recommended things to merge with it somehow? I am a sucker for new artifacts and item content for instance, but I don't think there are any mods that add those that are also merge-able, SGM for instance. Just curious before I finalize my install and start anew.
