It's up to date and put together well, I recommend just using it even for a first run. DX10.1 is recommended, don't use DX11 as the former is more functional and better optimized. You'll need to disable all overlays to use 10/11, like the Steam overlay or RadeonPro. You'll also need to delete MS Update KB2670838 to use either under Windows 7 at least. This will also remove IE 10 & later. Or just use the enhanced DX9 mode (renderer 2.5) and get better performance and initial load time if you don't mind losing sun shafts and a few other visual effects.

Yeah, it's included in COC mod 2.1 It's randomized. Click Randomize then select the faction you want and you should start with a random pre-selected loadout. As for portraits, it's fairly simple. Open up character_desc_general.xml There you'll see something like: code:In that file you'll find the name of all valid portraits. If you want to add new ones, or just see what they correspond to, then open up ui_actor_portrets.dds in textures\ui Stalker Icon Editor is a good program to do this, as you can copy/paste 'icons' in texture files and it will sort out alpha channels automatically for you. It also helps a lot with other textures_descr type stuff, such as ui_icon_equipment It's Russian but it's fairly easy to figure out.  In the top right you can set the grid size. I set the grid size to the size of the icons (123x87) You can then select these, right click and choose the option with "XML" in it and it will bring up the little dialog box that will give you the relevant XML info for that particular icon (offset first, then icon size) Using this you can figure out that this is the Clear Sky portrait: code:

Thank you Ddraig.  I ended figuring out that the file lists every portrait in vertical lines, so it was just a matter of time till I found out I was looking for ui_inGame2_Dolg_2.  Also, is CoC crashing every 30 or so minutes for you, guys? I don't know where the game stores logs, so I'll just take a picture next time. It's always the same message.

Regarding masks, I liked the idea, but re-implemented, (stole the textures and edited them,) masks, are now at the edges of the screen, am going to rework the cracked effect if enough people are interested, however, as its from Ddraigs mod, (I think), I'll defer to him, perhaps can be included in His mod as an alternative mask.

Vehicles are already in game, you can spawn them via the debug menu, but they're not really that great and have a load of bugs. Alundaio tried his best but really it's just not designed for vehicles. Once I get more time in the future I could take a look at OGSE and how they handle vehicles, seeing as how they're mostly functional in there. Anyway, as for the alternative textures, feel free to send them my way. It would be an easy toggle to use alternate hud textures with a proper gameplay option. Thinking of updating my mod to remove any reundancies (i.e. files identical to the COC 1.2.22 patch) I only included that stuff since an official patch wasn't forthcoming, but now it's out, it just seems redundant and confusing to have that stuff in there.

The lack of guides is a bit of a technical limitation aswell as a 'feature', I guess. Alundaio completely rewrote the way sim_board etc. works The whole alife simulation was changed and simplified, in a way, so that redundancies wouldn't be there and it would be more efficient/modder friendly. Unfortunately the travel_manager wasn't rewritten with that in mind, I guess it was easier to just cut it rather than rebuild it from scratch to work with the newer simulation stuff, so that's the reason it's not in.

If someone does add guides, they need to have a 90% chance to lead you somewhere completely off of where you wanted and mug you or ambush you. Or you load up and your on knees with your hands tied and you get one point blank right between the eyes.

Ddraig posted:e: Cars in stalker can be fun as hell. I would love to play your mod, it looks great. In fact... I've been working with someone on a "Vanilla+" mod for SoC, designed to be the modern equivalent of Stalker Complete. Rather than a huge overhaul like OGSE, the idea is to give an experience where the core gameplay is similar to vanilla SoC and includes the same original storyline, so it is suitable for a newbie's run through the game. The installation includes a graphics overhaul (shaders and huge pack of new textures), as well as bug fixes. It also includes popular features that are common to many mods as well as the official sequels. For example: blowouts, artifact activation, getting stuff repaired, etc. Often those extra features come as part of a huge mod like OGSE or Oblivion Lost that add a ton of weapons and new monsters everywhere and completely alters gameplay balance, and adds a bunch of new quests with text that is poorly translated from Russian. (And while there are small mods that just add blow outs or artifact activation or weapon repairs etc, newbies don't know how to merge mods to use 3 or 4 small mods at the same time.) It seems to me that your mod is sort of "OGSE Light", and might actually not be that far off what we've been trying to accomplish, just with some extra features we hadn't considered. We are also including an optional addon for vanilla+ that makes it less vanilla and includes stuff like rebalanced weapons, and NEW ARTIFACTS (!) with new abilities. Stuff like your vehicles, low gravity anomaly and extra PDA features would fit into that optional addon perfectly. And your new blowouts seem cool and better than what we've got. Would you have any interest in your work being a part of the mod?

PM me. The code is a mess at times, but I could probably upload it somewhere as a resource. For reference, this is what the scripts folder looks like.  It ended up eventually being a merge of RMA, OGSE and some elements of DMX (mainly vehicles and PDA functions and such) I think in the end it was the very definition of feature creep. It's buggy, unfinished and has a lot of badly translated stuff I never got around to doing properly. I guess I could upload it somewhere as Ddraig's folly for people to gawp at what a trainwreck elements were

Also there aren't that many places to conquer, just a few, and getting the factions to competently hold anything is pretty difficult. But you can indeed occupy all of the swamps for Clear Sky, and if you clear out the other bases enough times eventually maybe a Clear Sky squad will capture them, too.

The helicopter left eventually and either repaired itself or there's more than one. Thankfully I know the area quite well so I ran from cover to cover. It's a bit weird being the only one fleeing and dodging a helicopter nobody else acknowledges, like the Zone's got to me. I've encountered plenty of bandits and military so far so ammo isn't as scarce but I've given up trying to fight the helicopter, now I just avoid it. It's still pretty fun. Also I don't know what you guys did but load times are just a few seconds and it's incredible! The grass issue seems to have gone away but I am down to DX9 dynamic lighting now.
