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

[QUOTE=Beacon;49463252]gas mask general[/QUOTE] Well it is Facepunch after all :v:

You think gp-5 is bad? Try to run around in soviet NBC, that portable sauna will make you envy the dead.

get good, my glorious issued GSR is super comfy

I'm ecxited for gunslinger, but i'm kind of worried about how it won't be compatible with anything ever. Vanilla is pretty boring after all those mods, amazing weapons or no Not to mention im soooo sick of cop vanilla quests

[QUOTE=Xubs;49468168]Did they ever say it wouldn't be compatible with [I]anything at all[/I]? I thought it was just other mods which change weapons, which makes total sense. I mean, even if it was completely standalone, surely you could convert mods back to Gunslinger once we've figured out how all the scripting works? I think the idea that Gunslinger will just be this uncrackable thing that never gets submods made for it doesn't hold much water especially when we have teams that have completely reverse engineered the entire engine to STALKER. Seems kinda trivial to figure out the inner workings of some mod that doesn't even change every aspect of the game or its code. So, whatever GUNSLINGER is doing can't be that insanely out of reach. Maybe I'm just ignorant of something (I will admit I'm not a huge STALKER fan but I like Call of Pripyat) but that seems like you're kinda taking things they said too extremely.[/QUOTE] Who knows, the source could be pretty pluginable and integrated with the CoC code base.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;49470802]Who knows, the source could be pretty pluginable and integrated with the CoC code base.[/QUOTE] it's not, they use modified bins but not through the source which means it's impossible :(

[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] I used to have a GP-5 for shits and giggles. My dad used to be a conscript and was a part of some chemical warfare units, sealed APC's and shit. He showed me that you pop your chin in first and the rest of it should snap in place around your head. What was a pain in the ass now takes less than a couple of seconds. Back then you had to learn to do it quickly because that could've potentially been the difference between life or death. If nothing can be done with Gunslinger and it turns out to be cool weapons but a vanilla game I won't even bother with it. It'll be cool to play with the new weapons and animations but after 20 minutes it'll be the same boring game I've played dozens of times. If it gets integrated into COC or something then I'd be more interested.

There's no utterly confusing and probably ineffective set of army hazard equipment like the Yugoslavian NBC suit. Ours is still sealed except the stupid huge latex gloves laced with baby powder. ...come to think of it, the stupid huge latex gloves laced with baby powder would look so ridiculous they might just fit in Arma.

Which did not feel all that nice.

gasmasks are meant to be worn by military, police, firefighters, etc. -- people who have their hair buzzed down to the scalp. there's tons of gasmasks and helmets that will get your hair caught in to them

A friend of mine started playing Clear Sky for the first time and... [video=youtube;NXdZblz-taQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXdZblz-taQ[/video]

Sometimes it feels that bugs like Ashot's floataway were programmed intentionally in the game. Seriously it's such a delicate engine that I'm amazed they can fuck up that much without the thing just stopping and shitting itself. The fact that every bug results in stupid(ly hilarious) stuff happening only makes their presence more intriguing.

Bugs can either be the annoying kind or the hilarious kind.

[QUOTE=sniderodent;49487521]taking themselves way too serious. nice video nonetheless.[/QUOTE] This has been the general reaction from the eastern side from what I've seen. Funny how the western and eastern communities have such different standards.

i keep forgetting is ray of hope a soc or cop mod?

Has anything happened with the ARMA mod Nova Zona?

STRIFER just told me they're not going to do Gasmask animations for GUNSLINGER. I think that's a waste. I can imagine they'd make amazing animations

[QUOTE=LoNer1;49491744]STRIFER just told me they're not going to do Gasmask animations for GUNSLINGER. I think that's a waste. I can imagine they'd make amazing animations[/QUOTE] Yeah. Wonder if the mask has to deform when being put on to get a convincing animation and if that's hard to do well. I just integrated Smurth's cool gasmask on and off sounds into AMK Autumn Edition and it's a really immersive effect, especially when coupled with his other idea of having item use remove a mask if active (which I'm simulating visually in SoC, no real helmet to remove). It'd have been neat to have real animations to go over that.

I honestly would cry of joy if they could do this [video=youtube;kNQz9lSyvoU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNQz9lSyvoU[/video]

So can I do anything to stop TFW from crashing every 5 seconds without a log or is this just how the mod is supposed to be [editline]13th January 2016[/editline] playing with AO if that changes anything TBH it seems like it crashes when an AI decides he wants to take a weapon I have on me but can't do it because I'm the player, although that's just a wild guess based on when it crashed. It's just a hunch really

Are there any mods that have custom hotkeys in engine-level gui? I kind of figured this out by accident but I'm curious if it's actually new or I've just been living under a rock. [vid]http://puu.sh/munWf/6bbe30f755.webm[/vid]
