[QUOTE=Ghost101;46936429]Is Preacher a sub version of DMMAE?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's in their repo.

[QUOTE=Ownederd;46924470]reposting the improved translation for OLR 2.5 [url]https://mega.co.nz/#!pcFX3KZI!n3WyJOwunoO-j4Z1Ju1zR5jxhdaTOyfbXGSFepmvGcw[/url][/QUOTE] Whenever i try to go to the options menu, it CTD's, so i have to set my settings with a different translation mod, then switch to this one when i start a game I have no idea why but its really irritating.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;46936259]Otherwise the /sg/ (4chan's /vg/ board threads version of dooms mod merge) DMMAE Preacher is pretty nice, but it doesn't do that much on the graphics front if I remember correctly. But it's really fun to just random a start. Though this is entirely freeplay.[/QUOTE]Assuming they haven't removed it, my mod merge came with Kingo's shader mod, which can be configured to add various nice graphical effects (though it may need updating). And one can also slap a texture pack on top of it. [editline]15th January 2015[/editline] Oh wait, SoC had that textures.ltx file which is an absolute bitch to merge. I think I had some ready-made versions for major texture packs in the options folder, can't remember.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;46937765] Oh wait, SoC had that textures.ltx file which is an absolute bitch to merge.

I really like the DMMAE Preacher, so thanks Sgt Doom(for starting it). It's just the recoil on some weapons that feels a bit awkward, coming from recently playing lots of AO 2.4.1.

i'm fully convinced that OLR is miles better than LA despite being in rougher shape for english-speaking players

Welp, if I go back to Zaton, I can never go back to Jupiter. Xray just decides to shit the bed any time I get to the last bit of loading. so at this point I can't ever go back to Zaton, I guess.

I suppose it is completely off limits then, RIP Barge and Nimble.

Damn, I found an XR_3DA shortcut in steam that was separate from my SoC shortcut, viewed the screenshots and it has a bunch of them from my first playthrough of the game back in 2012 [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287346184049/18B4CC680C8B45DB5F5EBAAFA468793F7E193A23/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287343838798/B1A9915E593907CD16386F5FFBFE5AB39CD1B41A/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287343834021/A269DFB2A1441F506A817D7FDFCE42438ED8CD7D[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287346180937/B6C605E91DC972EC56AC8B03CC8846BAAAA67DC0/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287346179512/9E6830BB2685A8D6B34A32B4E22CDB6BA8E13A00/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/902108287347296764/DF4BA549717906590FEB3BA5F70BD8B07777D1BD/[/t] Don't worry, it wasn't with complete - i literally downloaded it and just used the weapon textures from it. I really didn't think i was gonna play it that much but now the stalker series is like one of the few SP games i really play anymore, funny how that turned out. I wish i could forget ShoC and go through it fresh again.

Hey, if anyone wants to play the OGSE 0.6.9.3 test release without acquiring a copy of the Russian copy of STALKER, I made a little batch script to unpack the db files and repack them in the Russian format. I'll upload it tomorrow because apparently I'm too tired to write a working batch script. [editline]16th January 2015[/editline] holy shit most of OGSE's core texts are already translated to eng storyline stuff isn't yet though

I have to use the other (im guessing older?)translation for OLR 2.5, the one posted in this thread just makes me crash when going to the garbage or opening the options

What's a good mod to use for COP that's not SGM? I'm about midway through my 3rd play-through (vanilla) after reinstalling 1st:Vanilla 2nd: SGM 3rd: Vanilla

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;46944850]I believe you're thinking of Noahs second compass, there's only one heart of the oasis right?[/QUOTE] aw crap, right [editline]16th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Konigstiger96;46945514]What's a good mod to use for COP that's not SGM? I'm about midway through my 3rd play-through (vanilla) after reinstalling 1st:Vanilla 2nd: SGM 3rd: Vanilla[/QUOTE] The original redux is pretty nice but it's not all that different from Vanilla. There's always misery.

It's been said a lot so you probably know already about it. But Arsenal Overhaul 2.4.1 with MSO, has been my jam recently when it comes to COP. As a person who has played a lot of SGM, I think it will be hard for me to go back to SGM now after I've played Arsenal Overhaul, I just love how the weapons feel a bit too much.

So... I've been checking out OGSE 0.6.9.3. The R1 renderer has been cut out completely - low-spec users need not apply. FDL only. The new effects are amazing. The reflections are beautiful, the rain fx are awesome, the volumetric lighting is awesome, thermal vision is nifty as fuck, the DoF looks fantastic. It feels more advanced renderer wise than CoP right now in a lot of ways. It's been cloudy and raining for two straight in-game days - not sure if it's a bug or just the way it's supposed to be. Weapon anims are kinda butts. Eng translation definitely isn't done, but it is functional enough for most of the UI. A lot of areas have lightswitches! There is a FUCKTON of tuneables in the config files and console for the renderer as well as ingame shit. This mod is fucking amazing.

Well, there's new models, textures, sounds, and configs for the Vintorez, but I haven't gotten far enough into the game to see it yet. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561197977046048/[/url] If anyone wants to watch me play, I'm gonna stream it for a bit...Just fyi, there will be crashes. :v:

so I suck at STALKER, jesus

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;46946727]so I suck at STALKER, jesus[/QUOTE] you'll get used to the game's controls soon, no need to worry.

Take your time, use binoculars to scout out an area, have a shotgun as backup.

what do you guys think of making tushkano have much larger packs, but making them very easy to kill and only do small amounts of damage individually? I think it'd make for better gameplay if you have to be careful about letting them swarm you and slowly nibble you to death

Yeah, I prefer that...so shotguns are way more effective.
