Sorry for the doublepostv1ld posted:Ddraig & Swartzy: would you consider including the "item usage takes time" feature from Smurth's HUD Reworked mod in Radium? Maybe as an optional drop-in? Having to think about when it's safe to use a bandage or medkit made AA2 more challenging in interesting ways. The mod contains a lot of other neat features, all of which seem to have made it into AA2. The helmet/breathing effects in AA2 were very well done too and seem to have come from here. Here's the mod's README file. I've uploaded the mod itself if you're interested in taking a look. As a person who has not played DMX/related mods (The only mod for SHOC I've played is the previous version of OL), is there a significant difference between 1.3.2 and 1.3.5?

I like to think I'm a pretty open-minded person, but who the gently caress actually enjoys doing most of the things Misery has in it now? Like, I get that it's called Misery and all, but good lord how much more granular do they want to get with the exciting tasks of breaking a radio apart or sharpening a shovel?

I made 4 trips and ended up with a corpse pile 4 bodies deep to the left of the BMP they have parked there. And holy gently caress the postgame content has a fuckload of walking in it.

That sounds too simple for Misery. Instead you gotta go down to the river to get some Mud with your Sharpened Shovel of Fortitude +5 and then use the Mud in the Slightly Used Mortar And Pestle to create a Natural Powder which you then combine with some Water and Mutant Blood that you scavenged with your Sharpened Knife and then you mix all that and create a Bullet Grease which you then apply to individual bullets with your Fresh Handkerchief to give them all 3% more damage.

VStraken posted:As a person who has not played DMX/related mods (The only mod for SHOC I've played is the previous version of OL), is there a significant difference between 1.3.2 and 1.3.5? I didn't spend much time with 1.3.5, so can't make much of a comparison, sorry. Dkz does have a better translation. The other big difference is that the 1.3.5 translation has a large number of mods merged in that may or may not be to your taste. The Joint Paks are probably a better comparison if you're looking for an alternative, since they build upon DMX. They have a ton more content and the first one has an OK translation: NS Joint Pak PLO K MA. It's a great alternative to dkz02. Someone has got the 2nd Joint Pak running on the OGSE 0.6.9.3 engine! I hope it or its successor gets a decent translation at some point. VStraken posted:Arguments : Can't find texture 'intro\dream_the_past' Add -nointro as Akul suggests. If the cave sequence at the start gets frustrating, some things to bear in mind: - Pick up the contents of the backpack in front of you right away. Equip all the great gear in it and the artifacts. Then and only then pick up the artifact in front of you and equip it. (Artifacts irradiate you even when not worn, so don't carry them until you can counter radiation.) - If the combat gets too frustrating, search YouTube for a way to get through with no combat at all. I can do this run like 4 of 5 times, it's not hard once you get the route down. - if even that is frustrating, search for a post cave save, there are plenty around. I can make one if needed. That bloody cave isn't indicative of what is to immediately follow, so don't be turned off by it. Edit: did you install both parts? I had to break the mod into 2 due to moddb file size limits. The textures are in the second part. v1ld fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Aug 20, 2015 |

It turns out AA2 got the feature from a Russian mod named MEDICINE, downloadable from yadi.sk. It's a very small mod and simple to merge, so no need to have it in Radium proper. I'm going to merge it into AMK:AE or have it as an optional install. Radium continues to add cool stuff. Having CoC's AI and scripts is way cool. Having Radium running over the CoC maps would be super sweet.

I've just started doing some localization work for the [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/in-spite-of-the-deathhttps://in guys, aka I'm really just editing translated xmls, and while I obviously don't know how it'll actually play, it sure is pretty looking. Tons of new maps, which is always a treat. The team's also working on SGM 3.0 as well as a smaller, standalone story called Chernobyl Chronicles (that's the one I'm doing now, actually) that's due to come out later this year. I dunno if this counts as self-promotion, but mostly I'm just happy to support modding in some small way.

If I'm going to sharpen a shovel, I drat well be using it to thrust, slash at and decapitate mutants and people. I've always wanted a mod that let's you lock on to enemies like a bloodsucker and use screwdrivers and poo poo to kill an enemy before they can kill you. But that's probably not what the Misery team has in mind seeing as how you can pick up crowbars, sledgehammers and what not but they're useless outside of a few percentage points in repairs.

Roobanguy posted:ZoA had that and its completely terrible. I remember this and yeah, it was clunky as poo poo. It wasn't explained properly in the instructions and unintuitive enough that I don't even remember how to activate any of the functions. But it did indeed play an animation for loading each individual round into a magazine that you had to let play out. I actually don't mind mechanics like that when done properly (7.62 High Caliber has it), but that system was just too poorly made.

That's very cool. There's a lot of seemingly high-quality Russian mods that will forever remain inaccessible to me if not for the efforts of folks like you. It's almost depressing to skim ap-pro or the amk website and know that I'll never play most of the vast array of mods there.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. The below happened because I somehow forgot to replace fsgame.ltx with the one in the archive. Just in case anyone else encounters this, I'll leave this up so you can avoid it. So, new problem for me, the menus/HUD seem to gently caress up during loading and playing, but the rest of the game appears to be fine when loading completes. Screens here: http://imgur.com/a/OTyK1 During loading, the loading screen "background" appears to be crunched up into the upper left quarter of the screen while the little "preview" picture of the map being loaded pops up in the center of screen as normal, the text at the bottom that tells you what process the game is doing (Client: Synchronizing, etc.) doesn't disappear as the next block of text gets loaded up so there's just a jumbled mess of letters overlaid on each other. The HUD ingame has all of the status icons visible, crammed up into the upper left hand corner of the screen, and overlaid on top of the minimap, making it impossible to see the minimap. I've also encountered a few transparent NPCS, they're invisible almost like how a bloodsucker turns invisible. VStraken fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Aug 21, 2015 |

Googling leads me to a Steam thread where someone is given advice to "load that save before you talk to Fang so you only lose about 30 hours instead of the whole thing" and everyone agrees, that, yeah, that 30 hour redo is well worth the overall experience. If that isn't the most Stalker.txt thing I've ever read. And SGM 3.0 sounds amazing, especially if they go for just a bit more stability/polish than 2.7.

Monolith. posted:That DMX mod seems really out of my league. This first section after the Doctor is really unfun. The cave, you mean? Yeah. I've uploaded a save at the end of that whole sequence. Copy the 2 files named "cave end dkz02" to your savegames folder and then talk to the guy nearest to you when you load in to get back to Cordon where you can now talk to Sid. Be sure to inspect the new body by the underpass near the village with the jeep in it - that starts the main new quest chain. I only opened 3 metal boxes on the way to the doctor, just enough to get some 9x18 and 12x70 ammo and a suppressor: box near roof of sawmill, on the roof of building next to sawmill, and in the railroad car by where you'll find Tolik.

Yeah. DMX seems to avoid some of the excesses of NS. This version has the unTERMINATEable mod in it so key NPCs can't commit suicide. My first run with Joint Pak 1 had me just as tense about NPC suicide as the very real challenge in the mod itself. Wolf's "bring me my razor" quest has very good rewards but I really wished that I didn't do it for hours afterwards as I watched various NPCs go into the heart of izlom/bloodsucker/zombie territory to die. The quest is not in DMX.

For what it's worth it's very, very easy to add optional features to Radium, complete with fully functioning menu options. Here's the current gameplay options menu, for example:  Literal Nazi Furry posted:is misery trying to become a weirdo singleplayer DayZ mod on the xray engine or something I'd say they wouldn't even like Day-Z for various reasons. It seems to me, from what I can gather, that the actual designer behind Misery (they do have one, despite evidence to the contrary) hates the idea of the Zone in every single way. I imagine if there was a way for them to get rid of all the fantastical elements from the game and just have it be a straight up inventory management game with occasional bouts of metallic rape coming your way they would do it in a heartbeat. Missing Name posted:Also, didn't didn't you work on a making GBS threads animation at one point for MISERY as a joke? Animation is a bit too strong for what I did. I got frustrated that a lot of my fixes weren't included or were downright lied about (this still riles me, as to this day I still get messages on moddb as I was misrepresented). Basically there's a series of scripts that adds various sound effects to eating food or whatever. I made an invisible item that the player would eat sometime after eating raw meat that would play a series of comical fart noises and agonized moans and cause the screen to shake and then you'd die. I figured dysentery was the next logical step. I sent it to them but they never included it. I'm slightly disheartened that sharpening your knife is a good use of resources but making GBS threads yourself to death isn't. Since this wasn't taken very seriously I included a serious means of ending your Misery that also wasn't included: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8yxRVaDls A cyanide pill incase you decide to end it all.

Ddraig posted:Swartz has expressed desire for this, so it's probably likely we can do it. Cool. Please use the Medicine RC mod as the base, not Smurth's Reworked HUD. I've merged it with AMK 1.4 AE and it turned out to be straightforward - null out the effect values in items.ltx so the mod can instead apply them over time, tweak the values in use_item.ltx to your satisfaction, and also hook into bind_stalker. I've uploaded both the base mod and the merge with AMK to https://mega.nz/#F!O4Il3CrK!dlbCAF3NhgPKa-iNU5m_N - I used the AA2 version for the latter since it has better defaults and sounds than the base mod. It also has animation support added by Cromm Cruac, with the only current one being for when you inject antirads. quote:Here's the current gameplay options menu, for example: Very cool!
