Seems someone beat me to the punch. This is Misery 2.0 lite: http://ap-pro.ru/forum/94-9800-1 The graphic/sound updates of Misery 2.x without the actual terrible stuff, I guess. Screens: https://www.flickr.com/photos/86351712@N07/sets/72157634879657437/

I seem to recall there being a guy in a room with some cupboards and shelves with some gear and a key. The room I'm thinking of looks out into an atrium with a staircase leading up. Then again I could be totally wrong - it's been a while since I played that area.

It looks like that doesn't have the HUD of misery 2.0 either which is a kind of large omission.

So Radium is making a lot of headway. Lacking something though, and that is good scope reticles. Anyone interested in making some for the mod? As a bonus when you're done you get added to the team of people that can view and play the ever-updating internal alphas. Basically nothing as simplistic as the vanilla scopes, please put a little effort into them. Here are the reticles needed: Standard PSO scope (wpn_crosshair.dds in vanilla files) SVD scope (PSO-1 I believe) 1p59 scope Acog 4x32 Acog 2x20 binoculars RPG-7 scope Gauss rifle scope (just make something up) VPO-134 scope Schmidt 1.1-4x Shortdot Accupoint 3-9x40 Mil-dot sniper scope G36 scope FN2000 scope XM8 scope Susat scope with illuminated reticle I think that's it at the moment. Long list though I know.

I found a way to cheese it, during an emission. I lost some rep but not enough to make them hostile -- probably because I didn't have to kill the squad member who was dumb enough to walk through an anomaly while running from the storm and get himself exploded.

I've actually sorta done this to get shitloads of ammo and artifacts. Skipped the brain scorcher and went into Pripyat, slept till an emission and went back to the red forest map to hide in that little checkpoint building. The blowout will gently caress with you, but by then you should be able to take it easy. All the Duty/Freedom guys are down at the crossroads waiting for you to cross the trigger point on the path to the scorcher to start their firefight, but because of the blowout they all sprint for that shack you're hiding in till the blowout kills'em all. just gotta be quick searching bodies because packs of dogs/bloodsuckers/whatever start coming by to gently caress you up, and you specifically. Also, finally found the MG-3, what a spectacular pile of garbage

How easy/hard would it be to be able to export the 3d models in the game to a program which I could use to manipulate them to print them out as 3d miniatures using a resin 3d printer? Or would it be easier to just start from scratch on something like Z-Brush and make them myself so I have ones which are more rounded and true to life than perhaps some of the stuff in the game is like. I've been putting together a force for the tabletop game Infinity, using the 'Ariadna' army (basically, humans using regular modern styles of weapons to go up against dudes with robots, advanced weaponary, and cybernetics out the wazoo), but I want to make it Stalker themed. By that I mean basic dust masks on the basic troops, gas masks for advanced, and the Sphere and SSP Helmets for the more advanced dudes. Oh and some of the armour types and looks from Call of Pripyat. The current miniatures I have have some of these styles, but it's not uniform. So, being able to print out various helmets, heads, masks, or even full miniatures would be really cool. I beat Misery (finally), but I was a bit bummed out at how easily the storyline was wrapped up. I was thinking it was going to be something more climatic, like the end of SoC. I am now going back in for a replay using a Recon. It's really, really hard, but that's something I quite enjoy about it. That and the fantastic way the zone looks, with great use of browns, greys and greens to give it a very pre-winter or post-winter vibe. Love that. The constant crashes in Jupiter poo poo me to tears though. It'd be the perfect mod for me if I could just stop the game crashing so much. The only extra mod I added was the scope mod a guy did to unfuck the scopes from being distorted if you chose a larger depth of field or screen resolution. Other than that, once you know how to do stuff in the game, what risks and rewards there are, the game is great fun. Currently running about with a silenced MP5 'Frasier' and having a whale of time. I also went trolling the net for anything Stalker related, and bought two of each of the 1/35 decal sets that were made using iconography from Stalker. There is faction decals for Duty, Freedom, the Stalkers, Bandits, Scientists,Mercs, one for the UN, Clear Sky, Monolith and even the Sin. There are a couple of other badges shown, but I don't know what faction they are from, but they look cool regardless. I'll be using them on my miniatures to give them a nice touch and form them into the different groups from the game. Even thinking of buying some 1/43 scale Russian cars and trucks to wreck just to use as terrain for the game. Stalker is a great FPS game, but it's the rich background and lore and setting which just really sparks my imagination so much. I love this loving game so much.

Microbiology bachelors/masters/doctorate in training. It's the game that clinched my urge to visit the Zone. I wanted to go there to study radioactive bacteria eventually, but camping loner style sounded awesome too. Of course, a permit would be needed and any people I see would probably be armed looters.

So I'm planning to play Call of Pripyat, never played any other STALKER games before but they look super cool. I have no compunction with heavily modding games on my first playthrough, especially mods that add content like weapons and the like. What's generally recommended to use? Some of the links on the first page are out of date.

I think Pripyat and the like are all looted out. What's surprising is that there are actually people who live in the area. Illegally, of course, but there's a few villages of people who continue to live around there despite their children getting horrible cancers etc.  https://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/hanging-out-with-the-only-residents-of-chernobyls-exclusion-zone I really need to update the OP. I've been putting it off for ages but I'll get around to it sometime over the weekend.

If you are talking about tfw, I think limansk is impossible to get to. as far as swaying is concerned, there are a bunch of things. vanilla game has a little sway even when full kneeling to snipe, I think thats lessened with handling or accurracy.

Dvsilverwing posted:This is like a real life "The Village" except the M. Night Shyamalan twist is the crazy undiscovered genetic mutations they all probably have. Radiation doesn't work like the flu. it'll just constantly gently caress with your genetics till your family line ceases to exist. And it's not just one thing that's loving you. you're getting Gamma and Beta waves from plutonium, americium, iodine 131, and a host of other radioactive substances. Generally you have a chance of surviving, if you get prompt help, up to like 500 rads (the amount of radiation absorbed by the body whether all at once or over the years) at which point your body is pretty much hosed beyond being able to recouperate and you slowly rot to death from the inside. Reading through Medvedev's work, Lt Pravik was going strong despite his lethal dose and a host of cancers that started and the loss of his salivatory glans along with his tongue swelling up till he couldn't speak, but because all his skin and hair were dead all they could do was watch him slowly die over weeks as his body fell apart. Others suffered damage such as destroyed muscle tissue which limited their movement and went through spasms of vomiting and bowel movements around the clock till their bodies died. Radiation is absolutely horrible. It's not like a disease either in that you can't just get rid of it. That's why most (if not all) workers that received their lifetime accumulation in no matter what period of time are retired from their positions because more exposure just adds onto what they already have V I've read a couple stories, one about a group of guys that got busted for trying to loot a helicopter so they could turn it into a coffee shop. Reports said it was still emitting dangerous levels of radiation. another came from a soldier stationed there that found a couple guys dead in a car they tried to loot because the radiation hosed them over while they were trying to get away over a period of a day or two SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jun 15, 2015 |

Manhole covers in were looted. I'm kind of surprised the bumper cars and ferris wheel remained mostly intact, but all the electronic bits and motors powering them were long gone. http://imgur.com/3wJYPKG You can see where the motors powering this used to be, and there was nothing in there. Basically, if it had value, and you could carry it, it's not in Pripyat anymore.

I must have hosed up badly on my install of Tourists Delight, or whatever Ddraig made previously, as I reinstalled from scratch a while back and the gameplay is much more interesting suddenly, the enviroment is nowhere near as sterile, however, I miss some of the effects faction exo's have, especially the bandit one, compared to mods of CoP. Also requesting a mod, as i dont have the faintest idea how to insert oggs or comment them, I think a sample of "What a strange trick" needs to be in stalker.

Okay, so I installed The Faction Wars. Found the initial group of Stalkers on the road, and my guy mentioned creatures so I guess I skipped a encounter or something. Now I've spent like half an hour running around Duty's base, and it seems the commander won't accept me. How do I get a gun, for starters?

The SoC one is sort of dead now, especially as OGSE is pretty much already out and has absolutely everything I wanted to include and more. I'm working on Radium now with our very own Swartz which is a really exciting COP project that has a ton of new engine features since we have access to the source. To give an example, there's going to be a completely rewritten surge system, since we now have an engine function that determines if an actor, and possibly an NPC, are inside any building. So the surge covers are now largely redundant, as if you're in a building of some kind you're now safe. http://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-weapon-renewal I also have a channel where I posted a few early dev stuff for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEEcCWgpS4c

To join any faction, you're going to have to do a whole lot of bitchwork to actually get in with the cool kids. The faction trader should give you the missions you need to do, and those are generally easy poo poo like killing a stalker or mutants. To get a gun you could get lucky and find one off of a freshly dead stalker or you could just wait until the murderchopper makes a run

The faction wars starts you off in the tower that allegedly has a bloodsucker nearby but I don't think there actually is one. You just have to meet up with the stalkers who will take you to a faction base.

Mercs start off with good gear but they need it. It's definitely a fun faction to play, but do take note that you don't start off with a base so you need to be aggressive with your expansion to get a home camp set up.

Finished another playthrough of SoC with ZRP. This time around I tried for a specific ending and got it. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Man, that's good stuff. I've never completed CoP, only played it for a few hours if I'm honest. Are there mods for CoP like ZRP? Kind of a bugfix, vanilla+ vibe to them? I saw Absolute Nature, that looked neat. I did search this thread and found it a bit hard to follow for CoP mod status and such. (sorry)
