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

[SatansSin]

[QUOTE=Moxyz1;48232344]if youre wanting to install the Enb for the Mod and have DOF work ( it looks great imo ) theres a fix here ,seems it was disabled/ broken in files. [URL]https://steamcommunity.com/app/4500/discussions/0/540740501182696370/[/URL][/QUOTE]

Thank you. Although I don't believe my computer is strong enough to have full ENB on.

E:

If I use the file that Templar fella provided at the bottom of that page, would the ENB still work? Or do I have to go through the whole installation phase again, to get ENB?

What's with the bullet spray patterns? The guns seem equally accurate when hip firing compared to iron sights. If anything it feels harder to aim properly with the iron sights.

SoC, CS, CoP? Vanilla? Modded?

[SatansSin]

I ask;

Do I need to go through the whole install again of Autumn Aurora to get ENB on?

Or is there a separate way to enable it?

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;48234897]SoC, CS, CoP? Vanilla? Modded?[/QUOTE]

SoC Vanilla, sorry, I should have elaborated.

[Gunner]

Properly detailed iron sights below.

In other happenings, while streaming, we had a dancing merc show up.

[QUOTE=config;48234858]base dispersion
;
; === Setting of the weapon shooting dispersal parameter ===
;Dispersal consists from to basic constituents – dispersal of the weapon (relatively small). In fact, this is a dispersal of a weapon griped in a vice; - dispersal of the weapon behavior in the hands of the host (if he running, or walking or shoots in single shots or in a burst) is another, more significant factor of dispersal.

;Dispersal of the weapon depends only from basic dispersal, basket case factor ant time of the ammo.
;Dispersal of the way the host shooting (standing, running and etc.)

[B];Two types of shooting modes can be defined: - usual mode and zoomed mode.[/B]
;Usual mode: - depends from the position of the player while shooting (standing, sitting, walking and running)
[B];Zoomed mode – depends from the dispersal of the weapon and do NOT depends from the position of the shooter.[/B] In that mode, dispersal of the weapon &laquo switches to;» sight swinging (created be effector).
;Weapon recoil in the game also created by recoil effector. [/QUOTE]

So, various factors determine the accuracy of a firearm, which include :
1. The position of the shooter(whether the player is running, walking or standing still. Also, whether they're standing, crouching or low crouching.
2. The condition of the weapon. If a weapon is damaged, it is less accurate.
3. Whether the player is aiming with ironsights or not. If the player is zooming in, according to the config the game will ignore the conditions of whether they're standing or crouching, or walking or standing still.
4. Burst fire or single shot mode.
5. The base dispersion of the weapon, which means that even ignoring all the other special conditions, the weapons have a set dispersion that affects their accuracy.

Does anyone know how I might be able to extract models and textures from Stalker on Windows 8?

[mikester112]

So I haven't played any S.T.A.L.K.E.R game in a while. Any interesting mods come out recently?

[Beacon]

call of chernobyl is on the verge of coming out, so is the ray of hope english beta test

[mikester112]

I take it Wormwood isn't out yet? That's okay, Beac, I still love ya.

[BloodShot12]

Anybody have a link to that DMM:AE that was merged with Autumn Aurora 2 vegetation somebody was playing here a while back?

Also is there a freeplay mod that has things like forcing you to put your weapon away when using bandages and medkits?

This is strange because i was just wondering why you never see an OL-based atmosphere mod for CoP and then I find this posted on reddit

[The Spartan]

Zone Manual author here, just added a section on troubleshooting crashes to help the newbies. Anyone have recommendations on stuff I can add for troubleshooting the infamous "stack trace: " crashes, or a better (preferably SoC related) crash I can use for the example at the end?

Also any new mods worth adding to the guide? Seems pretty dead all around.

[Ghost101]

I keep getting a crash after installing that Spectrum mod plus it's 2014 translation. Is there something else you need to do when installing other than drag and drop? I'm getting this error:

Expression : file_handle_internal(file_name, *buffer_size, file_handle)
Function : FileDownload
File : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrCore\FS.cpp
Line : 169
Description : can't open file :
Arguments : c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\stalker call of pripyat\gamedata\textures\item\item_?4.thm

The actual file name looks like it's item_c4.thm.

[BloodShot12]

Odd, it just worked for me.

Did you include the new bin files as well when you extracted it?

[Ghost101]

Yeah, I extracted everything. I'll try a fresh install of CoP just in case. I tried installing Spectrum before, but it wasn't from the torrent, just the link on the Russian forum itself, so maybe it got corrupted or I got the wrong version or something.

EDIT: Got it working, just had to reinstall CoP and do a fresh install of the mod.

It's nice to play something a little different and get some different maps and stuff in there. I like CoP but I'm super bored of the default 3 maps.

Thanks to Bloodshot12 and Beacon, I now am properly importing bones and soon I hope to show that loner stalker in game.

I wonder what art program he's in, to be sent to the zone like this.

[wloden]

I get "connection error: Invalid host" when trying to join Ray of Hope. Is it down or what?

[DoomMarine23]

So, I'm still trying to figure out how to make exported .ogfs not crash the game, but for now I've gotten a flow working for importing animations and shit, so hopefully I can begin to make new gun animations and clean up the lacking character ones as well. For proof, I present the ultimate cheeki breeki animation. Hopefully I can figure out how to make exported files not crash horribly.

[video=youtube;aH7Kodle0M4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7Kodle0M4[/video]

[DoomMarine23]

Okay so for realies, here is an actual animation, just as a proof of concept of getting shit working.

I haven't animated in a few months so I'm very rusty, and the last shotgun I did months ago was way better than this. So give me a few days to keep tackling this and I promise whatever I make will be better than what I've done right now. Yes those sounds are custom and part of something I'll be showing soon enough.

Man watching this after animating it, I can see all the issues, its too smooth and lacks any force, but at least its "clean" without any obvious errors or jiggling, I got to be honest I really don't like the original shotgun animation in any of the games so I like to think this is an improvement for now.

Have you had any issues accessing the mod options menu? The mod is running fine now, but I get a crash when I try to get into the mod options.
