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

10 years? :O

I am most interested in all of those anomalies. I love me some good anomalies.

Still no releases of any mods. Swear to God, if something doesn't get released soon then i'll hook some cunt in the gabber.

is there a mod which merges all the creatures from various mods?

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;48032559]I am most interested in all of those anomalies. I love me some good anomalies.[/QUOTE] there was a translation of the doc that detailed them a while back, but I've lost it we really need all those docs translated

[B]Pripyat Foliage - Wormwood vs Vanilla[/B] [I]Something we've always wanted to do was increase the amount of vegetation and foliage in the Zone. Having been there myself, I know just how lush and green it is, especially in Pripyat. Because of this, we're replacing one-for-one the vanilla, low-poly, poorly textured and just generally bad foliage models with Cromm Cruac's excellent ones, as featured in Lost Alpha. Additionally (and as you can partly see in this image), we're adding new foliage to each level, bringing the world much more in line with the real-life Zone.[/I] [url=http://••••••••1CqXS5m][t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/15/14909/PripyatComparison.png[/t][/url] [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-wormwood/images/pripyat-foliage-wormwood-vs-vanilla#imagebox][t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/15/14909/xrengine_2015-06-23_16-28-09-61.png[/t][/url] [I]Performance between old and new foliage appears to be identical, meaning there should be no FPS hit from replacing vanilla foliage. That said, adding more, additional foliage will increase the polycount and drawcalls, meaning there will likely be some sort of performance hit for the trade off of a much lusher Zone. We'll be working on making sure this isn't too large![/I]

Look at all those places a Chimera could leap and rip my throat out from.

iirc it's a knife's edge balance, editing the values controlling NPC sight through foliage, plus it applies across all foliage regardless of how dense or sparse it appears to the player. So a dead shrub that couldn't hide a stick insect would be just as obstructing for the AI as a lush, overgrown bush. Wouldn't blame anyone for not quite getting the balance right, cept perhaps GSC. It'd be nice if one could assign a value of vision permeability to textures (obvs just the ones that have some sort of transparency)

It's too bad you can't even do something like getting enemies to spray in a random cone of fire when you go behind foliage. I like dense foliage mods but my one gripe is when I literally can't find the dude who keeps killing me because he strafed into a bush

[QUOTE=Etcetera;48034295]yep, we'll be adding plenty more chimeras as well[/QUOTE] More Chimeras to hunt for the jolly good fun and the thrill of the hunt then. It saddens me deeply I werent able to find a model of either a hunting rifle or side-by-side rifle that could fire .500 Nitro for you guys.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;48034295]yep, we'll be adding plenty more chimeras as well[/QUOTE] pls don't make it like misery where everything is literally a bullet sponge, EXCEPT you

not exactly stalker, but GSC's first ever fps game has gotten its first digital release on GOG [url]http://www.gog.com/news/release_venom_codename_outbreak[/url]

[QUOTE=Ownederd;48040096]not exactly stalker, but GSC's first ever fps game has gotten its first digital release on GOG [url]http://www.gog.com/news/release_venom_codename_outbreak[/url][/QUOTE] That game is actually pretty cool from what I remember playing it ages ago. It's basically a proto-stalker.

i'd personally love to see FireStarter get a digital release too. it's GSC's one and only shoot 'em up FPS, and it's got incredibly good gunplay. it also runs on a much more older iteration of X-Ray, believe it or not (and recycles old STALKER assets that never made it into the final product, interestingly enough)

FireStarter is a strange game. It's a distillation of Arena Shooter genre. It's certainly not very good, but it's... unique in it's approach. Doesn't look half bad, either.

idk i'd say it pulls off what it's trying to do very well [B]edit:[/B] nvm i stand corrected: FireStarter is powered by the TNT engine, which has the quality of being the engine that also powers GSC's only racing game, lol

Has anyone here bought Codename Outbreak yet? If so, can anyone confirm if the multiplayer works properly? I want to get it but only if the co-op works.

i wanna get down with you, redux [video=youtube;XrPL2MRsivE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrPL2MRsivE[/video]

God damn, downsampling makes the game look so much better [t]http://i.imgur.com/M9pccFO.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/p7JRofD.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/DM1nW0L.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/gqIMm8R.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/f9rlSBR.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/0H9IKRD.jpg[/t]

wow I love that final shot [editline]26th June 2015[/editline] what res are you downsizing from? 4k?

Yeah, 4k GTX 970 is a fucking incredible card, even when running at 4k I'm still getting ~40 fps

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;48049586]Has anyone here bought Codename Outbreak yet? If so, can anyone confirm if the multiplayer works properly? I want to get it but only if the co-op works.[/QUOTE] i have, but i haven't played mp yet. if i get into mp i'll let you know

I just took this screenshot [t]http://i.imgur.com/9zumpY5.jpg[/t] Right after I took it the game crashed and froze my computer up is it some sort of slav curse

Everytime I tell myself I wont use the Vintar in Clear Sky, I sooner or later end up using it, and finishing the game with it.

Did STALKERSOUP devs fix NPCs having the same loot/loadout? Wouldn't mind replaying STALKERSOUP again :v:

we should do a game where people post screenshots from really obscure locations in the game, to test our knowledge
