Oh, that IRC log reminds me, the Wattz Laser Rifle doesn't quite work with iron sights. Whenever I try and aim down it's sight, it doesn't properly move to the position. It may be the weapon animation replacement mod I'm using, but every other gun works fine.

Which one? I dunno what is what any more, so you'll have to reference it by the Armory's name.

Anyone know if there's a way to nerf the explorer perk a bit? Ideally it'd be cool to split it into stages to unlock only some of the markers at a time. Naky believes it's probably hardcoded and therefore cannot be changed but I figured it'd be worth asking.

I'd guess it's hardcoded, but check out the perk, maybe they do it via a script in which case you could.

It just calls ShowAllMapMarkers, which isn't a very flexible function.

I can't find the dresser in the armory. Can anybody post a screenshot? I'm worried mine isn't working correctly.

All the quests with Sunny are also broken from the Armory. I managed to do the first (shooting out back) by disabling it, but then the second quest broke right after I re-enabled it. She always says "let's wait and talk about this later" or something along those lines. It's pretty odd.

Can you post your load order? The ESM to our knowledge doesn't touch any quest scripts.

The cabinet also requires you to enable the cabinet ESP to see it. The cabinets are behind the Prospector Saloon.

Ok, I installed The Armory and Project Nevada... and I've got these wierd 'MOD-TA' items that I can buy from the Gun Runners (and other merchants, I assume). How the heck do I get these onto my Armory weapons? I have an HK 417, but when I open the 'Mod' panel for it, I've got nothing but blank space. Is this an interface glitch, or am I just a retard? I want my compensator and :krad: EOTech... :(

Yeah, but the mods I'm trying to use are dubbed 'universal' in that list, I already checked. Is there some special place I have to go to get the 'MOD-TA' ones installed?

Well, they're universal in that a silencer modkit from The Armory will work on pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, etc but that doesn't mean they'll work on any and everything. Basically, for a pack this big we eliminated individual mods where-ever we could and just standardized it. Makes sense, as I really don't want to be making 100 unique silencer entries.

Just curious for you cool Armory guys (Naky specifically), are all the models taken from various places, or are there any original models?

Just asking because I was considering offering a paypal for a specific gun to be modeled & skinned (with the original mesh available for editing in modelling programs in case I ever figure out how to help Naky import models into Stalker, as well as help myself in the same).

Also, just uploaded a mod for those who want less load-order crunch:

Better Health

It's a combination of several mods that ends up doing the following:
*Implements DT resistance similar to the old Fallouts. Should be compatible with a wide variety of armor mods, etc. since it just changes a single variable.
*Health made more 'realistic' but still very balanced
*Each body part of every npc and creature takes a certain amount of damage. Headshots similar to those of 'Better Headshots' and 'Realistic Headshots'.

The models come from all over. Some are original meshes and textures made by various people including myself and safetyhammer on the team, some are taken from commercial games, a lot come from FPSBanana as mods for various games that are not necessarily Source engine games, and some are literally 'Frankenstein' guns that were pieced together with parts from other guns. Those that don't meet quality standards, we try to improve here and there where we can by either redoing the textures (several textures in the pack were redone by us though we're no Arenovalis to be sure), redoing the UV mapping, or modifying/fixing the original meshes where necessary. The most common fix is taking a weapon that's all in one piece and exporting/importing/exporting/importing from nifskope/3D app/nifskope so we can separate all the animate-able bits like magazines, charging handles, etc. So many resources out there are all in one piece...

We're working on a few more original weapons right now. Safetyhammer, Internet Friend, and myself are submitting meshes for a .50BMG pistol concept to throw into the mod, and safety's got a few more projects on his place for the mod as well that you all may enjoy.

Why, which gun are you looking for?

edit: by the way, I haven't given up. I signed up for the student edition of Maya and basically have to get the SDK set up at some point and then dive into figuring out what I need to do to convert The Armory's best assets into STALKER.

I haven't given up either. I'll let you know what I find since now that my mod is almost done I have more time to explore other things. I'll look into seeing if there are plugins for other programs as well as a decent tutorial on importing them into Stalker.

Regarding the gun I'm looking for, I'm finding I have a sudden hard-on for the Vz.58 assault rifle.
I know many just think either 'meh, just another AK knockoff' or 'it looks ugly' but I like it a lot for a variety of reasons...plus I'm buying one so I want one to mess with inside games :P

Not to derail this into a software argument, but for the purpose of game poly modeling try Max instead. 3Point Shader Lite for better realtime shader previews, better control over projection cages(export/remodel/import) and most importantly an easier non-destructive workflow using the Modifier Stack.

I also prefer smoothing groups to hard/soft edge tools and Graphite Modeling Tools to the Live Surface for retopo but that's just personal preference. Not to mention Set Flow, GeoPoly and Planar align for keeping edges tidy. Though I suspect there are Maya scripts to do those functions.

I've used Lightwave since version 4, so gently caress Max/Maya/Blender/Milkshape, etc :)

I apparently need Maya for the import/export for STALKER, I think, so I hope the 2010/11/12 editions are okay to do so since that's what I can get student passes for.

edit: errr, Swartz, take a look at the Chechen AK in The Armory. I think it may be what you're looking for? I didn't know what model it was, but it may very well be the vz. 58.

Man even Lightwave's creators realized it's a cantankerous relic at this point and jumped ship to create Modo from the ground up. It's apparently fantastic for subd modeling, but unless they start handing out student copies like big bad Autodesk I wouldn't know.

I've finished mine for quite some time, including the UV mapping, but safety's been busy so it doesn't have a texture. I even did up three mods for it as well. Also keep in mind that we're all ignoring real life physics or plausibility here...






The three mods are the compensator, the hydraulic recoil system that probably wouldn't do diddly poo poo, and the nub under the barrel is a laser pointing system that when 'activated' shows the laser, but is otherwise off.

My concept was a chunky single-shot thing using the laser pistol animation to load through the rear instead of being break action for a change. I didn't like the overall shape of the thing so I'm going back to the drawing board on it.

It looks like it might be an attempt at one, but it doesn't look the way it should. Looks too much like an AK still and has a weird thing over the lower grip, and some other wrong parts. It may be a different gun entirely.

Change the zoom FOV on all weapons to 70 with the exception of ones with scopes.

I don't suggest this for various reasons.

I'm having trouble with nevada skies, it works fine beyond the fact that in certain weather types my characters skin will look like it's in shadow while his gun and armour appear properly lit. It seems to only happen on really bright, clear conditions with lots of colour, but it treats my dudes skin and face like it's an overcast day. Really annoying.

1: FOV of 70 isn't exactly a global setting in the game. That and there is no such thing as smooth zooming in the Gamebryo engine.
2: You could try a mod that changes the viewpoints on all meshes to default to the gun being front and center.

This is just a guess, but did you install the Data files for Nevada Skies? I'm using NSkies URWLified for Honest Hearts, and the install process was:
-Data files
-The ESP
-Cloudpack

in that order. If that's not it, then I'm not quite sure, are they near the bottom of your load order?
