S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Maybe someday mods releasing edition - Games

Plus imo i think dense vegetation can hide enough of the issues. I'd rather see that effort spent on NEW levels to explore, much as I'd love to see the old ones remastered.

I would really like to see an overhaul of the engines AA and foliage rendering. Foliage (most of the time) looks like complete shit in the games when you aim for dense, lush trees and such.

[QUOTE=JeSuisIkea;51875834]Someone needs to mod the locations to be better. There's small shit like the fact the hanged bodies are T-posed and they're just misc zombies, but bigger things like the cliffs around the maps. The bar especially. Someone should slope it out and make it look much more natural.[/QUOTE] This is what happens when you have maps that are a combination of maps made in 2003 and ones (re)made like a year or two before the game's release. SoC's development cycle, with the game being remade like 3 times over, was not kind to its asset quality. :v:

Would it be possible to just subdivide and smooth the ground meshes instead? Some kind of global quickfix for it.

is anyone else having issues getting detectors? ive got like 3 complete spare sets of tools but ive been using the bear detector for almost the whole playthrough thusfar.

[QUOTE=WrathOfCat;51877261]is anyone else having issues getting detectors? ive got like 3 complete spare sets of tools but ive been using the bear detector for almost the whole playthrough thusfar.[/QUOTE] I've been having the opposite problem... I found Veles on the first corpse I looted, and have only found one set of Expert tools so far.

Oh shit. New thread? Seemed like the other one went on forever. Any interesting news in the modding scene since before december 2016?

Ap-pro administration is making some shoddy mod. Dozens of shoddy mods are being made at this moment. Welcome back.

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51877385]Last one is pretty much the default state of STALKER modding to be fair.[/QUOTE] And half of them won't get released to boot.

[QUOTE=Sewer guy;51877392][img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/kUotwaQ.jpg[/img_thumb] Moral of the story: don't trust the military[/QUOTE] I find it kinda weird the military is considered a faction in Warfare, as they mainly exist to control the Zone borders...

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51877413]I find it kinda weird the military is considered a faction in Warfare, as they mainly exist to control the Zone borders...[/QUOTE] In Clear Sky they were also involved in the faction war, and generally in all the games they are still counted as a faction. I think Warfare still needs a little work with spawning populations. Duty takes forever to send a squad over to take a new point, while the military seems to just spawn whatever numbers they want and pretty much win all offline engagements. Second I left Rostok the military started taking my bases and they respawn and recapture their old points faster than I can kill them

Yeah, that's what I noticed. Military just fucks up everyone constantly in Warfare, maybe they're just set too strong in my configs, dunno...

Does anyone have a full list of mods like armors or weapons that are compatible with Call of Misery? I don't want to accidentally mess up and cause it to not work. Also found this in my old screenshots [t]http://i.imgur.com/PLxI8Hf.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/EpLNteg.jpg[/t]

Why doesn't FP just make its own STALKER mod? We have loads of talent congealed here. :v:

I enabled volumetric lighting in the 'comet' anomaly for shits and giggles...forgot that it applies to the acidic one too. [vid]https://a.uguu.se/3NyfBMN7JEbE_2017.02.26-14.26.mp4[/vid]

[QUOTE='Ninja Nub[NOR];51856088']speaking of the new thread, here's some semi new things the new things work pretty good in vanilla(with the variation mod, arsenal overhaul and atmosfear) woo [editline]22nd February 2017[/editline] once i get all the sunrise loner variations done up, i will release another test build, should be sometime during this week[/QUOTE] First time i've seen these, so i looked through your moddb page and holy shit these are pretty great.

Hey guys whats up with this mod? [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/133421387@N03/sets/72157654283375773[/url] It seems to be another OLR type mod or a addon for OLR? Does anybody else knows something? Looks like a graphics mod for what I can tell as it shows no inventory or new mechanics/characters. EDIT: Well, it's right up there on the first image...I didn't catch it the first time I saw it.... :chillout:

Pause after load for SoC with random tips and shuffled background/level texture [vid]http://puu.sh/uldhv/ea83b5c94c.webm[/vid] [QUOTE=Cutthecrap;51878429]Hey guys whats up with this mod?[/QUOTE] It's OLR with a modified story, graphics, and gameplay. Just check the ap-pro thread, there's plenty of info.

[QUOTE=croguy;51876639]Regarding the dated environments, there could be a large scale effort to just remake them from scratch, but we're talking about a gargantuan effort that's bordering on a Ship of Theseus scenario.[/QUOTE] Honestly some of them shouldn't be too hard. The Bar, for instance, possibly the worst offender, is actually really simple and doesn't involve too much that an intermediate modeller / texturer couldn't run through. I imagine scripting is the problem. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] But if they can basically build the Truck Cemetery from scratch I imagine it can't be the most difficult thing.

Holy shit I didn't know you could use the mounted guns in CoC. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZtilfC1.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/NyfRHm7.jpg[/t] Neat! (yes, I always walk around with a bolt and detector out. You never know! Plus, I like pelting NPCs with bolts as I walk past.) [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] Yet another pointless graphical effect added, borrowed from OGSE: grass waves. [vid]http://a.pomf.cat/wgcxni.mp4[/vid]

I'm gonna download the sdk stuff and see what I can do because I'm genuinely curious. It seems like most of the mapping is done in a modelling program tho and that sounds kinda janky tbh

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51878821] Yet another pointless graphical effect added, borrowed from OGSE: grass waves. [/QUOTE] I really do like the effect. STALKER is the only game I sometimes just let go for a while to see what takes place in front of me. I'd be nice to see the grass waves while doing so.

That grass looks super neat, especially for people like me who play with high grass densities. [editline]26th February 2017[/editline] fugk murghe

I wanna try and get the rainbows from Meltac's dynamic shaders working but this might a far cry because of some shader differences between DX9 and DX10. I'll have to peek at the xrRender sources...

Watching firefights, mutant activity, the sun rise... All while listening to Radwind Pt2. The game may not have the best textures, the prettiest models, or the best sky rendering, but it's still a damn beautiful game when it wants to be. Especially the volumetric sun shafts and the shadow rendering.
