S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: "A Typical Day In The Zone" - Games

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;48596607]To be completely honest I really like just having the option to slap a fuckton of shit onto a gun if you want, even if its stupid.[/QUOTE] Ak-74 with a grenade launcher, silencer and scope all lobbed onto it makes it a giant bulky monster but I like using it anyway because it makes it feel appropriate for an exo wearer. and i end up never using the grenade launcher

Okay so these scripts reduced my load times quite a lot in Narodnaya Solyanka OP-2. I've tested it with DMX 1.3.5 and OP-2 it works quite well and it [B]may[/B] work in DMX 1.3.2 as well. [url]https://mega.nz/#!Wpk11QaQ!WPdszcaekg9nxc5J8NUfp8aIa7fhmRgEzvcJaLm6AqA[/url] Just copy & paste into your gamedata/scripts/ folder .

So I was doing this task in the swamps in stalkersoup. I had to get the brains from a ''Unique controller'' for the clear sky faction. I sprinted trough the swamps right to the controller and blasted him in the face with an automatic shotgun. This was not before the controller could injure strelok with some special psy-attacks. When I wanted to deliver the brain I ran into a clear sky rookie and noticed clear sky started to kill me on sight. I shot the rookie in his legs, crippling him, and went to cordon to see Sivorich because you can make him bribe factions in stalkersoup. When I went back to cordon the loners in the village also started shooting at me, so I massacred the entire village. I decided to look up my reputation on the PDA and noticed my group changed to ''Zombie'' due to the controller encounter. Perhaps I'll go along with it and make my way to the wish granter massacring everyone on my way.

I know it works in JP-1 but i dunno if it will work in your case. [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0rgNzAix9CLZlB2LWFpSTk0RUU/view?pli=1[/url]

Last time, I wound up in a veritable pile of Russian mystery runes and gave up. I need to have a good go at a SOUP-style mod again, that isn't the same SOUP I souped through last time.

Do NOT use the Computerized Guns xrGame.dll from that download, it's infected with a virus. The rest of the mod is clean, however. DMX 1.3.2 dkz02 has a very good translation - it's a real pity that subsequent translators didn't start with DKZ's translation. It does lack the subsequent bells and whistles added to the JPs, including the Collector mod and the Master Addon, but obviously has all of NS in it. I uploaded a copy to [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/ns-dmx-dkz02[/url] (and just added this _g.script as a separate download).

[QUOTE=cdr248;48601048]How'd you do it?[/QUOTE] [sp]crouch[/sp]

Yeah, crouch and move slow so the mine detector can disarm them. That or try and jump on those rocks to get over them.

Update on Ray of Hope: [url]http://roh-online.com/blog/2015/09/02/%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b1%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b0-%d1%81-%d1%81%d0%b8%d0%bd%d1%85%d1%80%d0%be%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%b0%d1%86%d0%b8%d0%b5%d0%b9/[/url] I am too tired to translate it, but basically more optimization and internal testing. Something about 21000 boars causing 350mb more ram usage and detectors animations working externally (other players see you using it). Just check pics.

I discovered the time_factor command in debug mode in CoC [t]http://i.imgur.com/HJGfSjF.jpg[/t] oh ho I'm amused

Aligning weapon models to sit right in player / NPC hands is such a pain in the ass when done through manually editing the configs. Is there a tool out there somewhere to get it done faster?

[QUOTE=Rollindeep;48606086]Really? Huh i didn't had any issues when i was playing it. What are they needed for exactly?[/QUOTE] quest_section is used in dialogs.script, ammo_section is used in treasure_manager.script in both dkz02 and JP-1.

It's still possible to add the weapon section temporarily to attachable_items list in m_stalker.ltx for it to appear in the UI list. But since you want the offset for weapons you will have to manually write the offsets down and enter them in the offsets in the weapon config. It can be opened in-game (CoC leak that is) with insert by default while in debug mode. It will attach to nearest NPC.

Beats the trial and error method.

Just started trying to play Shadow of Chernobyl with my partner (she watches), we're both having great fun! Thanks guys for helping me to deal with my fear.

[QUOTE=Amez;48572269]Just gonna pop in here and ask is Call of Chernobyl a good mod/standalone game thing? I haven't played any STALKER game in ages and I'm due for yet another playthrough. I've replayed each game dozens upon dozens of times with every mod imaginable but I heard that CoC doesn't have the standard storyline. I gave up on LA being the last hope for me playing STALKER but CoC seems like a good contender.[/QUOTE] I'm wondering the same thing. And also should I just play the CoC leak alone, or try to patch it with another mod; like I have been reading other people doing?

[QUOTE=richard9311;48609541]I'm wondering the same thing. And also should I just play the CoC leak alone, or try to patch it with another mod; like I have been reading other people doing?[/QUOTE] just wait for it

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/J3oEcbF.png[/IMG] Apparently I accidentally added a ghost helicopter into the game and I don't remember ever doing anything that could add a ghost helicopter into the game which is weird. It doesn't even do anything, doesn't make a sound, doesn't bother anyone, just floats there and sways gently in the breeze. I find this to be the most disturbing encounter I've had in the series. EDIT: On an unrelated note, for anyone using OWR3 or the OWR3 add-on for CoC who noticed the Striker / Protecta sights being off to one side, change the -0.15 after "aim_hud_offset_pos" and "aim_hud_offset_pos_16x9" into -0.149, that should fix them. [QUOTE=richard9311;48609541]I'm wondering the same thing. And also should I just play the CoC leak alone, or try to patch it with another mod; like I have been reading other people doing?[/QUOTE] Trying out the leak wouldn't hurt but you'll probably want to wait for the release in the end anyhow.

[QUOTE=Jamsponge;48608444]Just started trying to play Shadow of Chernobyl with my partner (she watches), we're both having great fun! Thanks guys for helping me to deal with my fear.[/QUOTE] Tell us how your first underground area goes, I'm really excited to hear the details!

[QUOTE=Jamsponge;48608444]Just started trying to play Shadow of Chernobyl with my partner (she watches), we're both having great fun! Thanks guys for helping me to deal with my fear.[/QUOTE] New stories are best stories.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;48579955]I wish I could still feel that kind of nervousness in the Zone. None of it really phases me anymore, though I'll give CoC credit for having some good enemy AI, as I've been ambushed pretty ingeniously by bloodsuckers before. I feel like we just need some new mutants. Not the cut ones, just completely brand new ones or mutants drawn from the old concept art, like the horse one or the tree one. A lot of those were way creepier looking than what we've got now. [thumb]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/stalker/images/3/3a/Tark.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111005233438[/thumb] [/QUOTE] I'd gladly take a Tark in any game ever. Zombie mutant horses are freaky.

I've been out of the loop on STALKER for a bit, now I feel like it is time for another STALKER binge. Does anyone know a fun mod for CoP that includes freeplay, maps from SoC and CS, and added quests/content? Would be nice if it was well-polished, but as long as there is Russian wizardry involved I won't be too picky. I'd love to hear everyone's recommendations.
