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

[QUOTE]That was the discontinued Arsenal mod (I take you've seen the video with the desert-tan LR300 with a shitload of attachments on youtube?). That mod is long dead, sadly. There's newer mods, though, like the new Arsenal mod [/QUOTE] I looked it up & no that wasnt it. In the video I saw the guy had an AK that he added flash hiders & wooden grips to etc. The description was in Russian if I remember correctly. Thanks either way.

Try the earlier (2.x) version or wait for 3.0 to experience 3D Optics and a bazillion more attachments.

[QUOTE=exostalker;47101100]C'mon, you have Mulder on your avatar, I bet you can believe anything, why not believe in gay brotherly love of Strelok? :v:[/QUOTE] No, this concept is just way, waaaay too [i]alien[/i] to me to take it seriously.

[QUOTE=Teippiman;47107175]If i recall right didn't Metro 2033 or 2034 have a similiar function when something is controlling you and trying to make you shoot your self?[/QUOTE] No. The Dark Ones may have telepathic abilities but they cant make you shoot yourself. However, they can fool you to shoot your friendlies, but thats only on one cutscene

The controller suicide effect combined with some really good audio work could make for a very very creepy effect.

[QUOTE=Teippiman;47107175]If i recall right didn't Metro 2033 or 2034 have a similiar function when something is controlling you and trying to make you shoot your self?[/QUOTE] Nah, but there was that one enemy that did that in Cry of Fear.

[QUOTE=AdrianTheShep;47107367]No. The Dark Ones may have telepathic abilities but they cant make you shoot yourself. However, they can fool you to shoot your friendlies, but thats only on one cutscene[/QUOTE] They could fuck you up to the point where you would want to shoot yourself. Main difference is that in Stalker it counts for one fuck of a lot more, Stalker is dynamic. Making free-roaming monsters that mindfuck your character and make you lose control of him is pretty rad. Cutscenes/'aftermath' scenes are meh compared to that.

[QUOTE=AdrianTheShep;47107367]However, they can fool you to shoot your friendlies, but thats only on one cutscene[/QUOTE] Also, that whole sequence was a dream iirc.

Using OGSE's binaries/shaders to play other SoC mods with is fun.

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;47110272]Using OGSE's binaries/shaders to play other SoC mods with is fun.[/QUOTE] How so? The new commands / shaders and stuff? Or more enjoyable because of smoothness?

Did this Snork got his head smashed against the wall ?

i don't recognize these blood decals

[QUOTE=Drk;47113506]i don't recognize these blood decals[/QUOTE] Yep, they look like HL2 blood decals to me.

All of sudden [B]Frozen Zone[/B] update. [t]http://i.minus.com/ibpqXmOzdA77By.jpg[/t][t]http://i.minus.com/iZBmGDgbRz45R.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.minus.com/i7XhFsOHtPWR6.jpg[/t][t]http://i.minus.com/i9Tu5UNMr0If2.jpg[/t]

I'm going to tell myself "I'm playing Stalker 2" when I play Frozen Zone.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;47112200]How so? The new commands / shaders and stuff? Or more enjoyable because of smoothness? [B]Holy mother Phantom Zone gone Crazy! -snip-[/QUOTE] Yeah, shaders and new commands mostly.

[B]UWR[/B] is looking great! [QUOTE]In this video: tree sway during rain, CZ-75 from OWR 2.1 on Beretta M9 anims from OWR 3.0, AK-104 shooting, Toz-66 and Toz-34 skins by Aydin on r_populik's model conversions and animations, RPD (from Shoker 2.1. Texture/skin is horrible, I'm hoping Aydin or someone else will re-skin it or else I will remove it), grass waves (shader by K.D., from OGSE 0.6.9.3). This is mostly an excuse to see if I can get interest in an early release of the engine. Anybody that knows how to use Google and look for Github can find the Open Xray engine and compile it, but I'm considering keeping up-to-date bins on my page for Open Xray which I will update whenever there are significant changes. First of all: should I allow the new ballistics by default or leave them as is when I upload the bins? I'm hoping to do this in the hope that certain mod teams that will remain unmentioned will consider releasing the source code to their new mod binaries, as it benefits everyone, and if we can all share it's all good. If/when I upload the new engine be sure to credit the following people if used in a mod: avoitishin, Alundaio, nitrocaster, Swartz/jketiynu, HighFlex, and НаноБот.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;jdJ-5r6RSoI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJ-5r6RSoI[/video]

Does anyone know where that Russian site with a bunch of small Stalker mods was? I sorta want to try my hand at Fallout-esqe modding where I combine a bunch of small mods like character/armor remodel and reskin mods and see if it works out (unless of course, which it doesn't and a simple 'it doesn't work like that' would stop me from wasting my time)

You mean this ? [URL]http://www.playground.ru/files/stalker_call_of_pripyat/[/URL] Good luck with that. I recall how, while I was browsing this site, I saw one of the first versions of my mod that had been stolen. The guy didn't even changed the screenshots, he just choosed some random engrish name instead of Reloaded. That was fun.

I'm convinced all these amazing looking mods are just fantasies that will never be fully released it breaks my cheeki in many breekis.

I have the fear that Frozen Zone get cancelled or cut in a near future, right when the mod seems to be finished, i hope that wont happen

They were supposed to release a new video this month, but now they are saying summer. :(

You know what bothers me? All the CS and CoP mods that have tracers enabled by default on all weapons. Looks really bad. Can we add a tracer_every_x_rounds to ammo/weapon ltx properties with Open Xray? It'd be nice to make LMGs fire a tracer every 5 or 10 rounds rather than EVERY round.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;47118408] every 5 or 10 rounds rather than EVERY round.[/QUOTE] This is a great idea for realism mods that disable the ammo counter. One could make the few last rounds to be tracer to indicate that the mag is almost empty.

It would be cool if stealth was more of a thing.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;47113860]I'm going to tell myself "I'm playing Stalker 2" when I play Frozen Zone.[/QUOTE] With the framerate that come with it.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;47118408]You know what bothers me? All the CS and CoP mods that have tracers enabled by default on all weapons. Looks really bad.[/QUOTE] Eh, I disagree, I think the tracers make the firefights look pretty nice, especially when it's dark and you see tracers and ricochets flying everywhere. Thankfully it's easy to switch on and off on a caliber basis but I'd say that the ballistics system would lose like half it's worth if there weren't any tracers. [QUOTE=K1ngo64;47118932]Also most of the tracers should be green/red instead of yellow also.[/QUOTE] I think that tracers look pretty red-ish in CS/CoP but idk.

Thankfully it's easy to switch on and off on a caliber basis but I'd say that the ballistics system would lose like half it's worth if there weren't any tracers.[/QUOTE] I was mainly referring to the fact that you can look at your own fat yellow tracers as you shoot. Also most of the tracers should be green/red instead of yellow also.

GSC gameworld (Well, what's left of it) has been interviewed by Polygon about who's in charge now that Sergei Grigorovich basically left, the Areal controversy and their next game: [URL="http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/10/8015005/gsc-game-world-says-it-will-defend-the-stalker-franchise-plans-to"] [url]http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/10/8015005/gsc-game-world-says-it-will-defend-the-stalker-franchise-plans-to[/url] [/URL]
