Hey DDraig, sorry for the really late reply but in the last thread you asked if I could contact Alundaio for you about a script you had. Unfortunately he does not respond to any emails sent his way, he's ignoring anyone from the Stalker modding community. Hell he may even be dead for all I know, haven't seen any activity from him anywhere. Also, congrats Enigma. Just noticed your mod on ModDB. I've been pretty busy but maybe this weekend I'll have time to port another weapon over for you.

Just thought I'd post a cool new thing Bangalore did that does the following: 1) Greatly reduces microstutter in the game 2) Decreases lag caused by lua files 3) Increased memory ceiling before a crash http://www.mediafire.com/download/15brgil3s1z47rs/lua.JIT.1.1.4.dll It works with CS and COP. Make sure you back up your original lua.JIT.1.1.4.dll.

@Ddraig: After a little hassle at first I have the keylogger working just fine. Not sure why it doesn't work for you and it should not matter if you have the Steam version as the dsound.dll is not present in the original game, it's just a dll hook into the game. You remembered to add keylogger.update() to the very end of the bind_stalker:update() function? Are you using the original keylogger.script that came with it? I tried out a medkit by having Numlock enabled and pressing Numpad 4 and I got a message and the medkit was used. If you tried reassigning the keys remember that you need to rename the function in keylogger.script to the virtual key being used and you need to make sure the key number is listed under [keys] in config/keys.cfg. If you still can't get it working try adding "-dsound" to the end of your SHOC desktop shortcut. Also check asilog in bin to see if it's hooking properly. -- There's no reason why this wouldn't work with other games either since the source code is included and the dsound.dll was designed to work with any game it looks like, as long as it resides with the exe. This also must be how the engine extensions are being made for Gunslinger mod: he's using this hook and writing new asi files that extend the engine.

For those who play Call of Pripyat: Alundaio, author of AI Tweaks, is back and now making a new version of AI Tweaks separate from Misery 2 and containing some new features. He posted this list about it on his forum: quote:Stability is my priority. AI Tweaks 2.03 is pretty stable except for the problems with rx_facer and it's inability to be merged with my other mods. However there was a lot of changes to it, in Misery. I ripped out all the scripts and configs from my Misery beta 7 build. I'm going through one feature at a time and testing/fixing features. Also people should check out Arsenal Overhaul by our own Enigma. 1.3 is going to contain a bunch of weapons from my cancelled mod.

Autumn Aurora 2 for SOC has been released and it's a really nice mod (I'm about 2 hours into it so far). It's much more demanding than regular SOC mods as it adds the high quality trees and brush from Absolute Nature 3 for COP, and almost all textures and models have been replaced with new higher quality ones. It uses a lot of Misery stuff (some icons, the desaturated look, music) however I feel it fits well with this mod and the atmosphere it has and doesn't feel wrong to me the way Misery does since the authors simply went for an Autumn season and look and not a scorched-earth one. A few neat features worth noting is a COP-style inventory screen, Atmosfear for SOC, your gloves change based on what suit you're wearing, and you need a detector to detect and grab artifacts.

For those still playing Call of Pripyat two great mods have been released: 1) COP Original Weapons Renewal v2.0 - Replaces the crappy looking weapons in the default game with very high quality models that are downright sexy. I'm rocking an AK-74 all game long just because I love the look and reload sound/animation. Everything ejects on the right too. 2) Pripyat Reborn - Alundaio, author of previous AI Tweaks and author of the AI in Misery 2.0 released this mod which is a compilation of all his work which he is constantly updating. The AI is great, not to mention non-AI features he's included like the Unofficial Patch and his item mods. It has a couple of bugs at the moment but he's a smart guy so they'll go away before long. -- I also mentioned a new LuaJit which ended up in the op. My question is, does anyone here know C++? If you do and love COP you could help everyone by downloading the newest version of LuaJit and re-writing it a bit so that the public API used in 2.x works like 1.1.8. The 2.x versions have the possibility of completely eliminating ALL stutter in the game and upwards of a 60% performance increase. See this thread and the various links for details: http://www.gsc-game.com/main.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr3&thm_page=1&thm_id=6030&page=1&sort=ASC&sec_id=18#113857 Swartz fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Dec 19, 2013 |

It should also differ from most weapon mods since he has this great 3dSMax plugin that allows him to edit guns without any smoothing errors, so they'll all look quite good.

No matter what order I do it in, certain item icons from either mod are broken, but if I overwrite with Pripyat Reborn then the game crashes when I try to fire a weapon. I'm probably overlooking something incredibly goddamn obvious, but if someone could point out to me what that is I would be grateful. You merged it correctly by copying OWR over Pripyat Reborn (and I guess it doesn't have a system.ltx, must have been an addition I made). The icons will be broken either way but I prefer using the ui_icon_equipment.dds from OWR as Pripyat Reborn doesn't use many new icons. Either someone else can make a merged version or I will if/when I can find my Photoshop disc (on a new computer now so I don't have it installed anymore).

From what I remember Controller psychic power was upped to such a degree that it can suck your view through the ground. The way to fix it would be to lower his power in m_controller.ltx. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening anyway. -- I'm now beta-testing a map pack by Bangalore (mod on ModDB called "Call of Chernobyl" or It's merged with Pripyat Reborn and I'm going to add Original Weapons Renewal 2 (which I recommend for the Op as a great first-playthrough friendly mod). It's a lot of fun. You're in freeplay and you're a loner stalker so there are lots of fights with the Military depending on where you go. So far I've only made it through the Swamps from CS (you start there) and into Cordon where I nearly got killed by some rats trying to go through a tunnel upon arrival. I managed to get to Sid after dodging some Military snipers but it crashed since the author hasn't made a trader file for him yet  Anyway it's a lot of fun so people should keep an eye on the mod when it gets released. I'll post some screens later and maybe a video (big maybe since Shadowplay doesn't work on Stalker games and I hate how things like Fraps tank my FPS). *Edit* Nevermind, apparently Shadowplay does work with Stalker after just googling it. I'm not sure why it won't work for me, I must be doing something wrong. *Edit 2* Because I'm retarded. Didn't notice the switch to turn it on before now

Zigmidge posted:I just finished Call of Pripyat Complete for a first playthrough. That was an amazing game! Loved the weather but I think the sheer number of zombies kind of made getting loot and cash a little easy. It depends what you're looking for in a mod. You can't really go wrong with Misery if you like a more challenging game and new weapons. I'm personally not into it but I can see why it's a big hit. SGM is cool if you're looking for new quests and content but it's very different and not for everyone. Swartz mod I would remove from the op as I feel the versions I released are out-classed by some more recent mods that are very similar. You can't really go wrong with Pripyat Reborn + Original Weapons Renewal 2 (though Pripyat Reborn does have some nasty bugs and crashes in place at the moment, so if enhanced AI isn't your thing skip it for now). Another interesting mod is Shoker 2.0 which you can find linked here. Noticeable features are 3d shell casings, lots of weapons, ability to place machine guns on a bipod, 3d scopes, ability to see your legs when you look down, and a very cool cutscene at the beginning. However it's a bit of an experimental mod (movement is very strange, you can't hit anything on full-auto) but worth a try if you want something different and are into gun porn. It may not work correctly with the Steam version as it has it's own program it launches the game from (and if you do try it back up your bin folder first!).

Are you launching it from Host.exe in your bin folder or trying to launch it from a regular Stalker shortcut? It needs to be launched from Host.exe in the bin folder, and due to that may not be compatible with Steam versions of the game. It can't be launched like a regular stalker mod as it depends on that exe to load some new lua dll's that allow the new features it has.

This talk about CS made me buy it again (lost my disc copy). My only big gripe with CS is that it eventually corrupts all my save games and CTD's on me. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was on Windows Vista before. Maybe now that I'm on Windows 8.1 it will show me some mercy. The CoP SDK used to crash for me all the time on Vista but on 8.1 it runs without any errors. Instead of Complete or the Faction Wars mod I think installing the newest version of the Sky Reclamation Project + texture mods/Atmosfear + porting over OWR2 to CS is my best bet for a fun playthrough. Does anyone know if Sky Reclamation Project by itself fixes the grenade spamming issue?

It actually looks pretty interesting and at this point it looks like they'll get enough backers to get it made. In terms of them wanting jobs, I bet N.Aaroe could get one as he has some great graphical talent. Does anyone here still play Clear Sky? The OGSE team is amazing as always and made some new shaders that make grass waves which they released. I could probably port the shaders to work with both DX9&10 in CS if anyone wants them, but I can't do the same with COP except for DX9 (10&11 uses a new system which makes it close to impossible). Obviously I won't bother though if there is no interest.

The detail is really stunning in LA. Too bad I can't play it on highish settings even though CS and COP I can max out. Not sure what could be causing the low FPS except for the vegetation. Everything else is SOC levels of detail (in the models I mean) so the hit is a bit strange. Too bad I can't rebind the quicksave key apparently and when I exited the game it just hung and I had to restart my PC since I couldn't see the task manager while the game was still running. It will be nice when bugs like these get ironed out so I can play the game properly.
