Found out [sp]I am Strelok[/sp]. Well damn son

Reading fresh newbies' reports from their Zone experience is almost heart warming.

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;47795090]Reading fresh newbies' reports from their Zone experience is almost heart warming.[/QUOTE] While SoC may not be exceptional in every regard, it's one of those games I think everyone should run through once. Just for the experience.

This is like the Hansel and Gretel of STALKER mods. You keep giving us breadcrumbs and sooner or later, we'll get to a delicious gingerbread house where we can feast joyously to our hearts content. And then the mod eats us savagely.

Small update on Ray of Hope: [img]http://a.pomf.se/afevrr.Png[/img]

I need to get to this Brain Scorcher thing. As soon as I got to the Barrier shit got real. The game is getting real hard now. Apparently most cover is radioactive and people have rockets and snipers :) Thank god for GP37 [editline]25th May 2015[/editline] I turned it off, shot my way out (after dying like five time to exoskeleton assholes) and shot more guys with some Duty fellas. Fun times were had. Now I'm supposed to get to the Sarcophagus which is on the other side of the fucking planet; gonna steal a rocket launcher from the army first

You're getting there, stalker. Don't lose faith, you can do it! The dream lives on. If I could, I'd give you a bottle of vodka to improve your skill in the game. Sadly I don't live in Italy.

You can always head back and stock up on gear before heading back up. Especially if your equipment is worn down.

I've been thinking about reinstalling CoP so I can play through Misery again. Should I really do that? Should I really put myself through hell again?

[QUOTE=TAU!;47801046]I've been thinking about reinstalling CoP so I can play through Misery again. Should I really do that? Should I really put myself through hell again?[/QUOTE] If so, I recommend v1 instead of v2. That's just my personal preference, though. v2 has a lot of new features but not all of them are to my liking, so obv I wouldn't recommend it as heartily. Dunno if v2 improved the textures though. That could be neat.

[QUOTE=seano12;47801186]Then who was marked one?[/QUOTE] [sp]We are whole, we are one[/sp]

I hope they add some more (wellmade) weapons at some point in Ray Of Hope. I need my moist nuggets, revolvers and side-by-sides that haven't gotten their barrels chopped off.

So I went back on modding Clear Sky as my exams are almost over. [video=youtube;eyUyyA5N08I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyUyyA5N08I[/video] Feels good to be home.

Does anyone know where I can find X-Ray Import/Export script/plugin that works with 3dsmax 2014 64-bit? My copy of 3ds max 2014 64-bit version does not import/export weights using the script that dates back to 5-09-2014 and I can't find any other scripts/plugins that can work with 3ds max 2014. EDIT: Found what I'm looking for: [URL]http://ap-pro.ru/forum/21-2830-1[/URL] Latest version is from November 2014, and it seems to work with 3dsmax 2014. I imported a bandit, and the weights show up just fine. 2nd EDIT: Nope, still doesn't solve my problem. I exported the bandit and this happens: [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/331g6lg.png[/IMG]

Broke into the bandit's hideout to negotiate for the second part of the key. Broke the Duty dude out of the cage and he told me about potentially getting a gauss rifle for 800 rubles. Still need to find the key to that place, there was a lot of good stuff I couldn't get to and my knife wasn't cutting it for the locks. Anyway, get to to gauss rifle guy and it's some sort of "Robin Hood" of the Zone. Taking from the rich, giving to the poor, fuck that guy. Got into the X18 lab and holy shit poltergeists fucking everywhere. Couldn't take a few steps without having a box or other loose object flung at my face. The 2 snorks were a bit of a pain, but I love my pistol. One door was banging around so of course that means I have to open it (I didn't want to). And then there was a fire poltergeist that gave me a hallucination when it died? Of course, Military had to be dicks and show up as I get the thing. I don't care how much armor is on your head, if I shoot your open face, you're supposed to drop like a brick. Not on the 10th headshot. More bullshit of course as there were military spawning like mad when I got out of x16 and one guy had the courtesy to noclip into the roof and shoot at me through a wall. Helicopter nowhere in sight so I booked it. Then there was the mission to get the thing from the Military at Cordon. They still couldn't hit me when I was slowly diagonal walking through the base. I grabbed the thing, shafted one of the guards in a tower, then jumped out and ran back to the trader. Why is it that when you slowly diagonal strafe, they can't hit shit but otherwise it's 99% accurate to your face?

their aiming AI is kinda silly

You look like you need good weapons for headshooting Get to the Red Forest ;) guaranteed to get awesome guns

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;47805737]You look like you need good weapons for headshooting Get to the Red Forest ;) guaranteed to get awesome guns[/QUOTE] I think that would be next. I have to find the eggheads at Yantar. I have one gun with a scope, but accuracy is a bit lacking currently, and I don't think there's anyone to upgrade / repair your shit in this game compared to CoP.

I have all STALKER games but have only completed SoC. For Clear Sky and Pripyat, what mods should I use that will make the experience better for the quality of life? I don't want any game changing mods here. Also, any way to fix the game stuttering? I know everyone has encountered the game doing it at least once. Thanks.

srp for clear sky

[QUOTE=Pops;47808805]srp for clear sky[/QUOTE] Could I get the newest version of that mod? I don't want to accidentally DL an older version.

[QUOTE=AcidAmbience;47808906]Could I get the newest version of that mod?

Those are vanilla guns since OWR 2.1 was removed. Something I forgot to show in the video is that companions can be ordererd with key press commands. Such as cycling through Passive, Aggressive and Assist mode. You can also tell them to wait or follow. The keybinds can be rebound through a new config. The video descriptions explain a lot more.
