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

[QUOTE=proch;49439776]So they remade them for Gmod? That's pretty cool[/QUOTE] the models in Garry's Mod that are from Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 have only been converted to c_models, they have not been remade.

I don't even knows what that means

[QUOTE=proch;49439940]I don't even knows what that means[/QUOTE] you don't know what c_models are? they're basically the regular view models of weapons, but with only animation information for hands, and not hands themselves, to separate hand models from weapon models.

Warfare for COC just got updated and it is... intense. It fixes some game-breaking issues, like neutral factions taking over your territory or off-map AI not defending territory properly, but it also appears to have made mutants very powerful, as you can make them have proper A-life AI now. Entire factions literally get wiped out by mutants.

So recommended CoC mods, also which weapon pack for it?

exgsc.com posted more inof about how STALKER 2 was going to be, if anyone is interested: [url]http://www.exgsc.com/?p=3231[/url] Some cool unreleased S2 concept art and anomoly information.

I wish there was a list with everything in installation order so I don't mess anything up. Something like AO3 with that Warfare addon sounds awesome, but I know there's other little addons that make things even more fun. I just don't have the know-how to muss about with this addon stuff :(

[QUOTE=Gunner th;49437870]FoV in stalker is kind of low, and most models are made for the low FOV. You easily get weird things with FoV over 70, such as this. The FoV here is 70 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLg96hnapPA[/media] This happens with a lot of weapons once you go to 70 or above, and its more noticeable with vanilla weapons.[/QUOTE] the magazine flip with the ak-101 always made me wonder in battlefield 2

wow thats the exact animation i was thinking of

[QUOTE=wat_am_i_doin;49437919]yeah, it's very common for games in general to do this-- things which the player won't see may not be modelled or animated. a lot of older games won't even have all sides of a gun modelled.[/QUOTE] It's weird how many professional-animators do that. I for one have always done my FPS-animations so that the mag switching is done relative to where the mag would go and come from on the body. Although I've only ever done reload-animations on a rig with full-body awareness in mind.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;49449250]the magazine flip with the ak-101 always made me wonder in battlefield 2[/QUOTE] that animation is so fun to watch though

It's not nearly as frustrating as say how Day of Defeat Source handles weapon animations. Do I really need to cock my gun EVERY time I pull it out?

[QUOTE=Saturn V;49449250]the magazine flip with the ak-101 always made me wonder in battlefield 2[/QUOTE] Well you see it's like a hourglass and when you turn it upside down, after all the sand has flown to the bottom of the hourglass, it gets to the top again. It can then flow down more so you can shoot more people.

Tried installing CoC and Arsenal, this is what I got [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3kF83kH.png[/IMG] Is this fixable?

[QUOTE=proch;49455476]Tried installing CoC and Arsenal, this is what I got [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3kF83kH.png[/IMG] Is this fixable?[/QUOTE]Yeh, should be just a matter of finding the duplicate section and removing it. If it's not in the file with the other mutant parts, though, then it becomes a pain in the arse to find. I used to have a program someone in these threads pointed me to that could search for words and phrases in all text files in a given directory, but I cannot remember what it's called anymore.

What file would that be? The one with the other mutant parts I mean

Holy mother fuck exactly what I've always wanted

Man GP-5's are a pain to pull on your head. I should buy a GP-5 hose while they're still available.

[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;49462103]Man GP-5's are a pain to pull on your head. I should buy a GP-5 hose while they're still available.[/QUOTE] Its especially hard when your head is like 20% bigger than it should be. I bought a GP-5 for a STALKER cosplay and it was so hard to get on I sort of gave up on it. I dont know if there are specifically larger versions for larger people, but if there are I'm sure they're pricey.

I was thinking about buying the hose and a Swedish Type-4 gas mask, which could end up looking very appropriate to a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. cosplay. The Type-4 gas mask also looks reasonably comfortable to wear. Then I'd just need to buy a Metro-camo jacket and I'd be good to cosplay as a member of the monolith faction :dance:

[QUOTE=Wulfram;49462922]nah, it was just the mask and the tube, though there was something in it that got in my eye and made it burn for the rest of the day. whatever Russian particulate it was, it wasnt good[/QUOTE] Could have been talcum powder. As that's what surplus gas masks tend to be stored in.
