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

I think I'm gonna do vanilla CoP. Maybe with Arsenal, without MSO and stuff.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;46900543]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.[/QUOTE] Any game is made better with bare minimum 2 player coop as long as you have a friend who takes the game seriously with you

[QUOTE=Araknid;46889504]arsenal overhaul use it with mso which is included[/QUOTE] I did this and now I cannot turn in Mitays hostage rescue mission because Grizzly decided to [i]leave[/i] the station as soon as I rescued him. No matter where I find Grizzly, he refuses to allow me to get my reward. I talk to him, all he does is go "Sup Bro!" and there's no other options. Now I can't be a friend of the Loners :c I don't know if it's MSO (probably is) or what, but a lot of key characters decide to do their own thing rather than allow the event scripting to happen.

I had that problem too, but I just waited some hours in-game and then the whole gang was in station and I could turn in the quest.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;46900877]I had that problem too, but I just waited some hours in-game and then the whole gang was in station and I could turn in the quest.[/QUOTE] I slept a few days and he did nothing, so I said fuck it and kept doing missions, found him dead in a field full of dogs. I'll revert back to when he leaves and try not sleeping. [editline]10th January 2015[/editline] Still had the waypoint to turn in the mission, even though his face was chewed off. That's the most annoying part.

It fucks up some quests.

They randomly showed up back where they needed to be allowing me to turn in the mission after about two hours of playtime. I have the One of Us and Friend of Freedom achievements easily enough, but I also filled the criteria for the Friend of Stalkers as well but never got it. Can you only get one of them at a time? Grizzly Bear immediately fucked off to go shoot some pigs south of Yanov Station after turning it in as well, thought that was worth mentioning.

I made a sequel to my original REBORN video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1kL3qIwBrk[/media]

Anyone have a translated pic of the OGSM 1.8 installer for Clear sky?? It's all in russian and I wanna check out what these options are. -edit- Nvm, MEGA had it.

The suppressor lowers muzzle velocity, with a consequent reduction in muzzle flash and report, and an increase in accuracy and recoil. However, the slower bullet drops faster over the course of its ballistic arc, so compensating for drop is necessary when engaging targets at range.[/I]

Nice seeing that beac. Always annoyed me that it had a standard silencer. -- Allow me to post my update, too; [I]S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Vanilla+[/I] - [B]Weapons update![/B] New M1911 model, with textures from [I]Millenia[/I] and animations by [I]Im_brokeRU[/I] [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/26/25752/XR_3DA_2015-01-12_00-16-25-19.png[/t] The Accuracy International L96a1 has also found it's way into the zone!

Looking forward to play SHoC again with Vanilla+. One thing that bugs me about the 1st screenshot (M1911), the crosshair dot is slightly off-centre to the left, like literally a pixel.

Guys For some crazy and stupid reason CoP with Misery mod latest patch keeps crashing whenever I try to get near the jeep by the ranger station...no matter from which direction I come from, it does a stuttering and then crashes. Hell, even Xray will crash. EDIT: Seems that is all the area around the bridge....

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;46909940]good god getting LE to compile that must take aeons[/QUOTE] [I]Rumor has it they started compiling January last year[/I] :v: I heard this may have 30 minute loading times ... We need 64bit for CoP, otherwise stuff like this isn't going to work

Why not merge Zaton and Jupiter? I mean, they are both more than enough for me in terms of space for multiplayer maps

That is multiplayer map right? No way you can make AI map that large. It's just a waste of time.

gsc forums need an overhaul they are god awful.

I also think it's a waste of time anyway - the amount of work to fill in the gaps between those levels with proper geometry and not just ArmA style randomness would be astronomical in X-Ray.

Then again russian wizardry

unless they've got a veritable army of modellers it's not going to happen

The more detail you can pack into a nice level is better than a very large less interesting one that takes eons to load in my opinion. Like, Zaton is fucking massive and so is Jupiter anyway, it's not like Arma where you can get a car to drive the 20KM.
