/sg/ - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. General

Full release sure but I'm confident this early version will be out shortly. Can't wait, gonna crank Warfare up to 110% and get shooting. Zombie Warfare with soupe Arme should be amazing

...

I remember playing a stalker mod a long time ago for SoC and it was like 90% underground like Metro, anyone know its name? Like all the underground labs were interconnected.

But that's completely irrelevant if you don't intend on adding new things that require animations (eg, the overwhelming majority of mods).

>wanting ugly models and artwork in your mod

If we go by that logic you'd have to remake every single fucking human model. Mutants as well. Not worth it in the slightest because while the models are ugly as they're consistent, and in the end that's the thing that matters the most.

As for weapons? There are like 4 decent weapons packs - and the one that will put them all to utter shame will eventually come out - if you aren't willing to rip that shit off other mods, or you don't have the knowledge for ripping them off other games.
Environment textures? Absolute.
As for everything else? You can just rip it off other mods and nobody would care. Everyone and their mothers does that, everyone and their mother made an AMK meme merge.

And moreover, unless you're trying to do something "ambitious" like Gunslinger the guys that handle graphics will be subordinate to the guy that handles the coding, not the other way around.

>why work on good models when you can just rip off people who did work on good models

Why not just use those mods instead of anything you'd make if they're going to be the same, then?

*while the models are ugly they're consistent

As for animations? Look at Misery. It takes control away from you and has the character slightly move his head for a given amount of time, that's basically a "pretend this is actually animated" moment. How many people did you see complain about that outside of /sg/?

>you shouldn't work on anything good see look at all this shitty bad work people made that isn't good that nobody likes as proof that it's not important to have quality work

You're undermining your own points here

Because
1: I know jackshit about coding, and I'm not willing to put any effort in what I have in mind unless I'm sure I have the right knowledge on how to do it (including but not limited to how shit works without having any documentation, figuring out what drunken slav spaghetticode means)
and
2: if I were to make a mod you could be rest assured that the first release would take as many "shortcuts" (read: steal assets from other mods/games as possible) because that's the norm, and I'm positive that I won't find any half decent graphic guys willing to collaborate unless I prove that I'm onto something/demonstrate that I know what I'm doing.

Also, if there's something I learned in all those years of being a "brainless enduser" is that a mod's success depends almost entirely on how you market it.

Way to misunderstand what I'm saying. My point is that people grew accustomed to the shit character/mutant models and it isn't worth it to put effort into those because plebs don't fucking care about them looking downright terrible, and plebs don't care about the lack of animations either.

That doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to see actually good looking character models, but that's something you either entirely commit to or don't, otherwise the result looks like shit (look at all the mods that add character models from Metro and add a few OC ones, they look entirely out of place).

Weapons are a completely different matter, and a moot point, because, as I said, there are plenty of weapons packs, all of them look good (red dots aside), it isn't 2008 anymore.

The issue was 64bit versions of lib dependencies and updating lua runtimes as much as a port of openxray itself as I understand it. Didn't someone get this working but also then go ahead and make a bunch of other unnecessary changes irrelevant to the larger modding scene?

Hello, here's another specimen of that uniquely /sg/ douche who armchair critiques those who actually do shit and, as is par for type, does so with no useful criticism at all, just predictably banal whining.

Bet you don't even know what mediocrity is you utter fucking wanker, it is that far above what you will ever achieve in your meaningless existence.

You may now go back to your whinging about the low quality of things others do. I give you permission.

Did I hit a nerve, mr Swartzy? :^)

>on how you market it

Are you retarded? Success depends on the amount of people it appeals to i.e. on the amount of people who enjoyed it. Fucking kill yourself, worthless idiot.

And how do you get people to get acquainted with your mod? Something akin to marketing. I've seen plenty of people praise absolutely shit mods, for example LURK 1.1, episodically on /k/, and guess what? The developer posted there almost every day while it was in active development.

>Fucking kill yourself, worthless idiot.
Follow your own advice and look at yourself in the mirror sometimes.

>episodically
Especially. Thanks autocorrect.

What mod is your pic?

Hello?

>Success depends on the amount of people it appeals to i.e. on the amount of people who enjoyed it
>Gunslinger, ray of hope, CoC, LA, OGSE, memery
lmfao you're right user. Nobody cares about hype and marketing.

>all those shitty memery "infographic leaflets"

Seconding these two.

LA

I got the the 0083 part where Kou helps Layzner with fixing the MA, this arc is almost as bad as Top Gun's volleyball scene.

Also I remember that Gato was something more than sperging about ideals (literally giving inane speeches in the middle of battles) and homoeroticism for that Delaz faggot.

Also the plot is fucking GREAT in hindsight. The first time I watched it I found it kinda underwhelming, but once you put every piece together it's easily a 9/10.

Wow, you sure fucked up those embeds

he doubled fucked them

Fucking the embeds is kind of a Veeky Forums staple at this point.

I'm trying to lower the cam_inert, because the camera movement is all fucked up, but it's already set to 0

wat do?

Stop playing shitty mods.

but I wanna play OGSE

Then get the mod that allows you to put shotguns in the first slot, at least it makes that shit mod a little bit more bearable, and also fixes the shitawful headbobbing in the process.

Already have that

What? Then how come you still get headbobbing? When I played it it was almost unnoticeable.

What's the mod?

Come again?

I need a link
maybe I didn't get it after all, but I AM using a shotgun on the pistol slot

OGSE's Moddb page, the addon tab.

there's only this

moddb.com/games/stalker/downloads/simple-tweaks-for-ogse-0693

thanks

So I came back to turn some shit in at Sid and almost everyone is now hostile. What gives? ZoA by the way.

What's your reputation?

>finally find the tools in CoC
>only unlocks tier 1 upgrades
>had enough of this shit
>remember hearing some stalkers talking about a guy in Red Forest who can upgrade all your gear
>make the trek, along the way find a set of advanced tools
>after not much trial and tribulation find Forester guarded by 2 milcucks
>upgrade all my shit for 200k Ru
Now I've got another reason to go artifact hunting, fuck.

It turned into rapeUtation.

Are the GOG versions of the games good or should I get another version?

You should get the F R E E repacks from the OP.

It fixed the headbobbing, but I still get this shit
Some user suggested that I lower cam_inert to fix this, no dice

It's excellent, so I don't know why most of them are shooting at me right now.

That's one of the launcher options you dingus.

>Implying I planned on paying for the gog version

>play meme mod
>get memed on

Bad goy, bad!

Launcher doesn't do jack shit to fix the options, I did the border shadow "fix" too and it didn't work

>I pay for decade old shit
It's like you are not eastern european

>not getting the sarcasm

Did you actually like fucking try it? Are you sure that your OGSE folder isn't on read only mode?

>Sarcasm
I get enough of that every day.
Anyway anyhow,thanks for pointing me towards the OP files.

I did try it, like 20 times, and it isn't read-only

Did you really try disabling the hit/impact effects shit? If so, enjoy getting memed on.

OK, I think I found the culprit
The OGSE configurator points to C:\Documents and Users\All Users\STALKER SHOC\user.ltx
But C:\Documents and Users\ doesn't even exist or at least I can't find it

Werejew you dont owe us anything, wpnsoup will be done when its done keep up the good work

P.S. we love u

These games run even on a washing machine,right?

No, actually it exists, but it says I don't have permission to access that file.
This makes no sense, I'm the only user on this computer

Not since you installed slavmods.

lol download any keygens recently

I just had to run the configurator as admin to do it
problem solved

lol

ded

what is so funny about it?

Why are slavs so funny? lol

where is the latest version of warfare? is moddb out of date?

0.7 I think
check the repo

>playing CoC as loner
>reputation worsened because I killed a hostile Monolith
what the fuck?

you BASTARD

It's meta humor dad you won't understand god go eat your prunes

Did he fire a fucking tank shell from that gun

Looks like one of those .500 elephant calibers.

I think reputation is based on how you play. If you're a sneaky Belgium devil going around backstabbing terrible Frenchmen then you get a bad boy reputation but if you're an honorable Japanese faggot you get good boy points.

>hostile
check your privilege loner fag you're invading his homeland and desecrating his culture and practices.

Are there characters who refuse to do business with you if you are too good of a man?

No idea.

Why are mercenaries so stupid?

Not really, he just didn't push the stock into his shoulder, so he wasn't pushed by the recoil, but instead got kicked.

I remembered some RPGs doing that.

DELETE THIS!

What areas would you want to add if you could get the original team to come back and work on it?

>deep woods area
>large portion of it is abandoned lumber mills and mines overgrown by thick greenery
>middle of the map is a huge loading bay area interconnected by a large wooden timber mill with a sky bridge over the railroad
>little to no stalkers in the entire area but dense mutant spawns and plant-based anomalies
>old mineshaft with snorks
>another loading bay near the far end of the map converted into a small bar with just enough room for you to stash shit, buy some food, and hide from blowouts

LA maps. But other than that probably an airport.

>crumbled airport with some kind of deathlamp anomaly thing up in one of the control towers slowly spinning around
>if you get caught in its light you start taking high amounts of radiation and psi damage
>gravi anomalies litter the area like a minefield with some massive ones off in the distance leaving craters the size of a football stadium

Of and both Limansk and Limansk Hospital should be way bigger and more detailed. Those are some fucking great locations. Too bad they suffered from rushing to publish the game.

Clear Sky was great in a lot of ways but the railroaded linearity, badly balanced faction wars, and engine crashing ruined a lot of it.

I still think CS was the best game visually and atmospherically. The first half of the story was also the best in the series.

they're mean too

Turns out I finished Weaponsoup earlier than expected.

Expect the upload to be finished in 30 minutes.
