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

Was there even any gameplay of FZ?

One or two vids. When you say "leaked" do you mean just those pics, or the actual assets? [t]http://i.imgur.com/uqt1kGN.jpg[/t] This shit looks like it could be STALKER 2

"hey guys we're making a mod" "oh wait nvm sorry, forget that happened"

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;49774494]One or two vids. When you say "leaked" do you mean just those pics, or the actual assets?[/QUOTE] Assets. Pics are just to show the most up to date stuff.

I hope mods start using their shit then at the very least

[t]https://a.nigger.cat/wdyrvm.png[/t] Misery can actually look good, a good kind of brown.

Where to find the leaked assets? I don't think we should let these assets die off like this. Man, I got so much hype from that trailer. It's so annoying, really, knowing it'll never release "as-is".

Got a couple of days off so now I'm gonna get off my arse and actually install CoC. I haven't played since the alpha so hopefully there will be some nice surprises in store for me. I chose to go with AO3 and a couple graphical addons. Anything else you guys would recommend?

These guys will start a new mod with frozen zone as a base.

I'd much rather these guys use their assets (which are of TOP quality, I'm drooling at the link Lafu posted) than see them go to waste in an abyss. Stoked to hear more

[QUOTE=ToxiQ;49778463]Hammer7 got that part of the translation wrong. The assets were not leaked, they were given to the remaining team members.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1WOlqD3.png[/IMG] While AP-pro states they were given to remaining people. Even if so they gonna be leaked at some point.

Now on a whole other subject, someone from 4chan took it on himself to do those artefact descriptions I asked help with but never delivered due to some stuff that had a higher priority. He did all those remaining 40+ descriptions himself and I can finally make pace with the mod again! I expect Vanilla+ to be in full release after my vacation in 2 weeks, since I'll have enough time to talk things through with [I]Koma[/I] on the sound development part and the sound package he's going to manufacture for the mod. Feels good to be able to work on it again after overcoming such a "wall". Not having any creative drive to work on your creation is frustrating, to say the least.

So is the series completely dead, officially? iirc STALKER 2 just sort of imploded early in development

I think the CIA/State Department staging a coup and turning Ukraine into a fascist hellhole did no favors for STALKER 2. Half the team probably got drafted and sent to get their asses kicked by the armed forces of the rebellious Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. Valve has no such excuse though. Maybe they have a phobia of the number 3?

Ukraine has gone down the proverbial shitter after that whole Maidan Square fiasco and has been at war with its eastern provinces ever since. Was STALKER 2 not being developed in Ukraine? It is kind of hard to develop a video game in the middle of a civil war.

[QUOTE=TKGP;49763847]As someone who makes a lot of mods that never see the light of day, I don't agree[/QUOTE] Maybe purpose wasnt the right word, but I think its a better decision to share your work. Like if you are doing it to learn, the critique from others would help, and if you are doing it because you only want to change the game, then perhaps others also want the same change.

Anyone else having trouble running shadow of Chernobyl on Windows 10? I can get it to start up after Steam installs the few things after first install. Then I go to change to my native resolution 1920x1080 and it locks up on me. Also trying to load start a new game makes it lock up. I've tried running in compatibility mode and it didn't stop the issues. Steam installs direct x and something else that I can't remember. What else do I need for it to run on Windows 10? All of my drivers are up to date. This is my system: Lenovo IdeaPad Y700 Gaming Laptop 6th Generation Intel Core i7 6700HQ (2.60 GHz) 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD 128 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB GDDR5 15.6" Windows 10 Home , [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-321-438[/url] I did a fresh install of Windows 10 so there's no lenovo crap ware on it either.

Hey, if there's mods for all of the games to replace the English dubs with the original Russian audio, can I get links to them?

I'm a couple days in to my COC playthrough and man it's a blast. I fought my way up north through the Zone as a righteous Dutyer, slaying Freedom and Monolith alike. My goal was to reach as far north as possible, which for CoC is the Generators. I managed to get there after plowing through the NPP and wow it is an awesome looking map. I have never felt so alone as in a map like that. After wiping out the small Monolith garrison and finding two Gauss rifles I made my way to the center of the map. Disappointingly I only found a Snowflake at the anomaly there but it was a great adventure nonetheless. I also explored the labs and tunnels beneath the map. There's a lot of potential here for modders to make things tense as all hell, especially in this map. That's my status update for now I suppose. After some artifact hunting and exploring I'll begin my usual "kill everything that moves" playthrough. I'll start with killing everything in the Swamps and progressively move throughout the levels. I wonder how Duty will take to me betraying them... :)

Quick recommendation. What mod(s) should I install for CoC 1.2 for the most interesting gameplay?

[QUOTE=kiloy;49793793]The warlab made me tense as is even when [sp]I knew nothing was in there[/sp]. But yeah can't wait until modders start working on map stuff[/QUOTE] Definitely. [sp]I thought the warlab was the Monolith's base of operations so I was genuinely expecting a fight to be had down there, but unfortunately just like every underground level it was empty :(. It was the same with the Generators. That underground complex was massive though. The biggest I've ever seen! Mainly because of the tunnels but even so it has quite a lot of potential. It's pretty much X-16 but certainly more eerie with the noise going on up above because of the generators.[/sp]
