STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Mod Thread

[Rolk's Drifter]

What's OpenMW, Open Source or Graphics mod. If it's graphics mods, then Stalker have too many to count.

There be a thread somewhere on the 'dex about it but I'm too lazy to find it. Basically it's a modern open source engine for MW.

Snorks were player-submitted design, which is why they don't make sense.

Well I hope that player got paid handsomely because snorks are some of the best enemies in recent times. Although I am starting to get a bit "Oh no! Not another fucking elf!" when it comes to gas-masks.

I find most of the cuts to be justifiable in SoC

Hell yeah. Once upon a time it was interesting to see all the cut stuff but those days are long past.

It is already out, I am downloading the 2.0 mod which requires the 1.006 russian version (but I already got that from the GSC forums) and the standalone 2.0. There are already some fixes out and a non official english translation.
The game doesn't use hi res textures (looks mostly vanilla) but uses a more advanced lighting system.
Will install and check this over the next weekend (by then there should be an offical translation) but looks very promising

Sweet. I'm fine with with low res textures, Stalker was always about the lighting for me anyway.

God damn it.. just when you think you're out.. Any chance of you doing a LP?

Hahaha no way Rolk's Drifter; my FPS skiilz are nowhere near yours
Funny how the Stalker games work; all these great mods always entice us for just another run...
I haven't finished yet Autum Aurora 2 either

FFS just release it

Saw comment section and only redable comment is "Kurwa! It's looks like heaven".
Well said.

it's released, but only in moonspeak. iirc there's a rough machine translation somewhere (probably on gsc forums, likely on something like reddit/4chan)

 

[chestburster]

so there's apparently a new version of Oblivion Lost Remake, and some dudes over at gsc say it's good, but it's still only in moonspeak

Oh god that graphics...
Why a 2007 game has more life-like graphics than most 2014 games is beyond me.

[chestburster]

Why is a Ukraine bandit playing the USSR national anthem. Don't they hate Russians?

 

[Darklife]

So what, four more years until release?

 

[Silva]

So what, a new MMO ?

 

[dextermorgan]

Every time I see this thread in the list I go YES, YES GODDAMIT IT'S WORTH IT.

Someone rename it, please.

 

[praetor]

So what, a new MMO ?

huh? where did you get the notion that LA is an MMO?

 

[Invictus]

What Silva means is that the former Stalker team is doing a MMO...I personaly think is pure BS and the closest we will get to a proper Stalker game for the foreseable future is the Lost Alpha game.
Some haters where happy that Bethesda didn't get the IP but at least we would have had a true developer behind it.

Some haters where happy that Bethesda didn't get the IP but at least we would have had a true developer behind it.

so STALKER former devs are scammers or something. Also waah, they are making a game i don't liek.

 

[Invictus]

Mmm easy to see why I have a fanboy tag and you a dumbfuck tag then

 

[dnf]

You are fanboying the wrong company then. Let the Staker devs try to gain money for once.

 

[Invictus]

My money they won't for that Survarium thing...I would back it if it was good but is doesn't seem like it plus I don't like MMOs

 

[Zewp]

I'm cautiously optimistic about Survarium. I wasn't happy to hear that it was going to be an MMO, but I always thought that co-op would have been amazing in the STALKER games. I've also always thought DayZ would have been a lot better if it was a mod built on STALKER.

Cross-posting from the GOG thread:

Looks like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is coming to GOG:

[Baron Dupek]

I should watch the Stalker again someday. Great atmosphere...

 

[Silva]

Yeah, that Survarium thing looks like shit.

 

[Invictus]

It is nice they are getting the Stalker games on GOG, only wish those royalties would help found a new Stalker game instead of simply filling the pockets of the GSC bossman who keeps peddling arround the IP like a 40 year old hooker without realising that the longer he takes the less revelvant will the series be to a new publisher

 

[Outlander]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

 

[Invictus]

The games are up at GOG and a special 3 day promo of $15 for all 3 games, can't get better than that guys I got em just for the heck of it, the soundtrack and extras are mighty nice plus seems like the russian uses russian speech with the option for english subtitles
I just love GOG and loathe that DRM shitbed Steam plus the money goes to help fund CDP games

 

[Invictus]

Hey guys anybody who tries the new versions from GOG there are reports that they managed to correct the V sync issues and somehow fixed the FPS too at least for SoCh
Since I already have my modded version installed I won't be cheking that out for awhile but anybody could verify?
I use an Nvidia card so the V sync was never an issue for me (thanks to the adaptive V sync) but if it is true I might do a clean install for a new Autum Aurora run

Playing through Oblivion Lost remake. Wow, it's totally another game. Now I can see that GSC pushed the game towards more action instead of the survival horror style of the old builds. Bloodsuckers doesn't cloack in this mod as far as i know, and they emit a really disturbing scream. I barely see any stalker so far, only 3 or 5 at best. Zombies fit this mod more than vanilla it seems. Blind dogs are also more threatening than vanilla dogs. In vanilla, i almost pity the little fuckers because of those barks. Not anymore i guess:
