Many of us are stalker fans here.and some are even playing it.Therefore i have decided to open a complete separate thread dedicated to it.
well after a long interval i have decided to start another stalker game.clear sky.
For completing the first game few people here in the forum had helped me like topgear and piyush.
since stalker is a different type of game therefore i invite all those players who have completed the previous titles or playing it to discuss everything related to it here.
Referring the walkthrough in this game entirely spoils the fun.
anyways i have few queries.
1.does clear sky have multiple endings too?
2.If yes then does here also we have to do specific things like the previous to get a proper ending.
No, its completely different. Its a forest but not sure about its name, may be red forest. And by that I mean it. You will be lost in a forest with trees taller than mountains enshrouding the whole area and blocking the sun rays, its dark, completely dark there. Its like you are actually inside a hideous deep jungle. And mutants there doesn't make it better. But there are couple of good spots for artifact hunting there. Especially the claw like projection in earth. also there is an underground level in the forest.
I've been getting many PMs regarding the mega mod, its download source( its free to play) and the respective installation.So thought of creating a detailed post for it.
FAQs
-->What is Mega mod?
Also known as STALKERSOUP Project, its an English language version of the popular Russian mods Narodnaya Solyanka + DMX 1.3.4, from a group led by Tecnobacon. Released July 30th (30-7-2011) as an open BETA test. The mod team is adding new features and rewriting the game code. The standard version retains the dark decayed look of the DMX DKZ 1.3.2 Mod. New texture packs, and revised scripts, offer improved performance. An optional mod add-on, The Collector, is integrated with the package which is nothing but free-roam -n-play mode of this mod. And most of all...ITS HUGE!!!

-->Where can I get this?
torrent: *www.tecnobacon.com/dl_part/TB3D_STALKERSOUP_1_0_9.7z.torrent
5-->delete lights folder in gamedata\meshes\physics\light' folder before applying patch
NOTE:Those who downloaded this game recently (like 2 weeks or so) do not have to delete light folder as it has been already been removed from new download source files.
6-->Those who downloaded recently, should only apply patch 1.0.9.7 (~90mbs)(*www.tecnobacon.com/dl_part/NS_patchM9.php) + 1.0.9.7.2(*www.tecnobacon.com/dl_part/NS_patchM9M7.php)
Those who downloaded the mod months back should also apply 1.0.9.0 (~300mbs)(*www.tecnobacon.com/dl_part/NS_patch9.php)
7-->add -noprefetch to the game's shortcut -->target
for example: ""E:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -nointro -noprefetch"
8-->Open 1.0.9.7 patch and go to OPTIONS folder and go to unEXTERMINATable folder.
copy the files and replace accordingly.This is used to make quests unbreakable.So some guys (that military guy under railway embankment is an example) will not get die with just a couple of headshots.So dont try messing with them.
Thats all for now.If you face any problems, then I'll try my best to sort that out.
PS:This game is still in BETA phase....like 90% complete.
So one need to have patience coz CTDs and memory overflow errors might show up.
Though I'm sure you guys wont face that many errors now.I'm getting 1-2 CTDs in around 5 hr of continuous gameplay.
SOME SIDE NOTES:
-->While playing the game, if you dont like the combat music, then ESC-->MODDERS OPTIONS-->TURN OFF BATTLE MUSIC (or something like that)[same goes for other options like gas mask, stashes locations and contents , etc]
-->while in cave map, if you feel a lil annoyed, then just do ESC-->F2 and type CORDON in box to teleport so as to finish that mission automatically.
-->You'll need vodka to pass Railway embankment, so remember that vodka in this game is more than just a strong booze
-->Download the weapon packs from the tecnobacon.com if you dont like the current weapons ballistics .
u can find chimera files in shadow of chernobyl but somehow they didnt include it that time. May be due to time and resource constraint. Some guys r saying that COP is the way first stalker was planned to be.
so are u doing any stalking lately
i'll be finishing COP by tomorrow
the game is awesome
many changes are there as compared to SOC
like:
better AI
revised artifacts
powerful mutants(chimera my fav )
equally powerful weaponry
NO bugs!!!
lol dude it seems you havent read the topic properly.anyways i am on clear sky now.
actually in shadow of chernobyl i could already guess in the middle of the game only that who strelok might be.But still the game carried out beautifully with a nice ending.
ok clear sky is prequel then whats call of pripyat.

find a guide who will take your to clear sky base from there collect the reward ......its will be shown on your PDA as a blue dot....and as far a going through that millitary base is concered run as fast as possile along the fence on the left side after u come out ouf that cave .....and hopefully u will get past there line of sight
so guys again started my COP campaign
this tym i'll mainly try to find all the secret stashes ,weapons and artifacts
means i'll be exploring the zone this tym
and.....hunting down chimeras
Stalker COP is one best in series after shadow of chenobyl ....Clear sky was buggy untill they released some many patches..and one thing i found while playing COP is that after every emission artifacts often re-spawn at different location in the zone ...they may not be at the same place as u found them previously so better look for then after every emission ...after during initial part of the game (this id for no-voice players who r new 2 STALKER COP series ...u better do that bloodsuckers mission where u have bring the cylinders and destroy the bloodsucker lair and as a reward the trader at skadovsk. will give u veles detector as reward ...thats makes finding artifacts v easy....hope this helps

2 complete the quest of killing the bloodsucker in the lair ....
****spoilers* *****
First of at Stalkers Headquarteer that is the ship u have inform Bread about the lair Afterward we have 2 talk with Owl, ask him about the gas.he will tell u only if u give him 2000 RU ...if u do ur PDA will show u a point in the map --a bridge full of unfriendly anomalies. there we have 2 Search for a jeep and take the box from its back.That box contain a gas canister ..box cannot be opened untill u have found both the key and the other key is underneath the bridge . Once u found the gas canister u have head back 2 the point where u found about the lair where you will have to connect the canister to the box to the left of the valve and let the gas into the monsters’ lair. After placing the canister at the right spot, turn the valve. Take out a gun, because you will have to face incoming Bloodsuckers (there’s a time counter in the upper right corner of the screen)After attaching the nerve-gas canister at the bloodsucker lair and turning the valve, if you quickly move and hide behind the cabinet-like structure to which you attached the can, you probably won't have to fight any bloodsuckers. Once the time’s up, return to Bread and inform him about destroying the lair. You can also sell Owl the document.as a reward also u will get a veles detector ...this is how i did it and is 2 be done ...

u know what i did
u may find me a kind of mad
but just read down
when i asked OWL for some info regarding this mission he asked me for 2000RU
that time i was short on money
so i didnt bought any info from him
i took around 5 grenades and carried 100 shotgun shells for my eliminator
i went to the Bloodsucker lair
stood at that narrow path from where you could see all the bloodsuckers sleeping
i pressed F5
threw some grenades at them
2-3 were killed bcoz of blast
rest 5-6 of them rushed to me
i took out my eliminator and gave all of them headshots
since the path was too narrow they were not ale to attack me by dodging and getting invisible
Just reached Cordon in CS. Loving it so far. Competed few side missions in the Swamps and made about 5000 ru and also got CS armor. Will continue after i get home.

This is what makes STALKER game so unique in itself.we can approach any situation the way we want in this game .Only few games have this type of gameplay. its all about tactics .did u get avdanced veles detector from scientist there you have first find three veles detector .?
Now at military warehouses in CS. Now i know what poverty means. Some bloody bandits stole all my 17750 ru and now i barely have about 1000 ru. My armor completely damaged , no arifact slots, uggggh
I'm telling you guys, the best fraction in Cs is Loner. join'em in cordon and don't join any other fractions. If you join any other squads you'll end up in a war in almost every other loaction, only loners are neutral. I'm in duty squad and freedom squad hippies attact me at almost all loactions now.
^^absolutely
but u can join duty if u want
thats the best choice
otherwise loners...
anyways
this is to all guys who played COP
i want to know how many secret stashes u all found out
i just wanna know
mine count is 44 and i'm still searching for more
screenshots of stats is advisable
Use S.M.R.T.E.R. and ATMOSFEAR mods from filefront....they are great and adds tons of stuffs...just google it. I started playing Call of pripyat 2nd time..i usually do so by installing mods..great game but i miss other parts of the zone. No matter with missions but even if they would have provided us with all the areas just for free roaming+monster hunting+artifacts collecting+bandit killing+secret stashes...... this game would have been the best
So I pressed ”F” behind Awl's back. He was not interested to talk. Pressed "F" again and that bugger snatched the IL86 that was in my hands a couple of seconds before. I was like wtf ?
Then I popped out my shotgun and shot that vermin at point blank range headshot. Too my weapon back from his dead corpse and drank his milkshake...I mean that energy drink.
Anyone remember that underground lab ? I was freaked out hearing the shrill cries of a baby from the toilet. literally it was the most scariest moment in Call of Pripyat. Guess what,
a burer was waiting inside the toilet, but gauss rifle quelled him in one shot
.
From this incident I remember when I played the original stalker, Shadow of Chernobyl. There too I shuddered terribly at the skeleton floating in the air till I came to know about the real reason.
The most bada$$ mutant in Call of Pripyat is the Bloodsucker. It's much more difficult to take them down once they see you and charge at you.
You can shoot if you can see. But bloodsuckers were almost always in pair. You cannot even see them when they cloak.
Atleast in SOC you can see their eyes glowing.
Bug or no bug, nothing stopped me from completing CS. Will start CoP pretty soon now.
Anybody please help me find the 1.6.02 English version patch. Everywhere frkng russian or german.
@official:
so, the s.m.r.t.e.r. & atmosfear mods are compatible... good to hear it . i intend to use the high resolution one. any idea when the new s.m.r.t.e.r. will be released (not the alpha). I don't like to restart my game midway.
as quan chi said...do have some patience
u'll not get good guns in the start
but as u'll progress,u'll come across many better guns each having its own adv/disadv
enjoy
Its an epitasis kind of game wherein the plot intensifies as you progress some 2-3 hours into the story.
Just don't be let down by first initial hours, because you wont be having best guns and everyone will be out there to stiffle you. Just linger around for a while and see if you can get loot out of some scuffles or skirmishes between faction (like bandits and military fighting and you watch the fun only to later claim the loot).
Last thing, dont be a rambo. You gotta be prudent there to survive. And be ready for some eerie and creepy atmosphere.
after killing many bandit dudes and looting from them,
my backpack is getting real heavy
i am having real hard time deciding what to keep and what not
got 5 artifacts so far
the "Trader" gives real shitty prices for the goods
in the Missions tab in PDA
i have 2 missions remaining which are showing "1 day remaining"
what does that mean?
I am stuck in "Garbage"
fending off a huge wave of bandits
the "Neutrals" i am supposed to help (preventing an invasion of sorts) apparently are retards,
they just sit back (crouch) at the other side of the building enjoying the show!!
The bandits are waiting on the other side of the gate and don't even dare coming in,
since i killed almost 12 of them in one go with just a Pistol and Sawn Off Shotgun
not much ammo for automatic weapons with me
where do i buy ammo?

I have the Viper5 and an AK
but not much ammo
can i buy ammo?
i have loads of Pistol and Shotgun Ammo
and 15-20 artifacts
Now i have to help some other Stalker dudes Blast their way through some Military
All the dialogues from NPCs are in Russian
only the trader and some selective people speak in English
^^No side tasks wont affect main story. Also ditch the pistols if it is not black kite. No need to carry useless things. Find a stash and store all your loot which you are not in immediate need.
I can't post screenshots but i can tell you the location. There are actually 2 bossfights.
You will get them at last part of the game. Location is through Limansk.
was playing shadows of chernobyl since 2 days
currently stalking in Army Warehouse
now the thing that i would like to tell you all is :
when we reach Army Warehouse we have to help either freedom or duty
and accordingly our friends and enemies change to our choice
i was friend towards duty last time
but this time i played this part with a LOT of patience
chose missions very carefully and now....
the current status of the game is that i'm friendly with both the factions
hell yeah...i just love the green dots on the minimap
now the positive impact of this turnover is actually quite large
thee is a stalker goes by the name skinflint in the freedom faction
he can sell u some rare stuff at this point of the game
like the super "EXO-SKELETON" armor or GP-37 and snipering SGI 5k
and these stuffs are actually obtainable at later stages of the game
also i found a bug in the game
when u have to find and give BULLDOG 6 GRENADE LAUNCHER to the duty leader
u just throw it on the ground and talk to the leader
he will actually give you the reward without even taking the grenade launcher....hehehe...
one mission seems to have a bug too...not totally sure though
its the mission given by duty leader and the task is to kill bandit named POKER in the dark valley
however when i went there to kill him he was not present there
i was standing on the spot where duty leader asked me too but there was nobody there
and when i went to agroprom institute for some other purpose , i saw the coordinates of that bandit POKER in my map
so i quickly rushed to that area ..
but wtf?!?
it was the same scenario again
if anybody have any idea regarding this mission...then please do help
all right guys

i just played it for half an hour or so
Guys! I am having a problem with starting the game. It says a X-ray engine 1.6 crash. And the problem pertains even though I have
1) Rebooted my system
2) Reinstalled the game several times
And It starts when I delete my save files from the my documents folder, but how to play the game without deleting the save files???
Hi guys
i am facing a weird bug in Stalker SHOC
I just started playing the game about a day ago
I have amassed plenty of weaponry and i am at "Garbage"
Helping "Bes" fend off a bandit attack
Now i want to go back to meet the trader to do some optional side quest or access his "trunk" where i have kept all of my weapons
But when i reach his door, it does not open!!!
Please help!!
P.S.
I have tried the update patch 1.5 and 1.6, but they are showing my savegames are corrupted.
I actually did patch up the game to version 1.0005 and then migrated to 1.0006 (worldwide patch)
now i see that the previous saves are not accessible now
So i have no choice but to start the game all over again
Changes:-
Graphics Quality upgraded
Armors are no longer indestructible
Now again i am at the railway crossing, i have gunned down the army guys to kingdom come
But when i am returning to the Trader Sidorovitch to sell off my stash, the door is again not responding
Bottomline
the patch didn't help with the bug at all
P.s.
i have also killed each and every soldier in the Cordon Checkpost
could this cause the bug?
cause i've heard that sometimes unscripted player actions may cause bugs
^^ya i know about this bug
i heard a weird solution for that
throwing grenades in the bunker may solve this
not actually seen it in action but i heard it works
but its weird
Piyush
man i am so happy that the trick worked
woohoo!!!
i could actually kiss you man!!! (in a totally nonsensical non-ghey way)
post the link for the walkthrough
is it the ign one?
Hey guys
i was just reading some articles online about STALKER SHOC
GSC was planning to release some kinda Game save converter workaround for the "Incompatible Save" problem after patching the game
Has it been released yet?
@Quan Chi
does the repack mod 2009 increase the minimum system requirements?
I am playing on HD4200 at 1600x900 res and high-medium settings
is the repack mod available as standalone?
i.e.can i mod my existing Stalker SHOC to the 2009 mod?

and here STALKER Complete 2009 Release news - Mod DB
I am guessing you have turned off the advanced dynamic lightening.
The mod supports your old save file.
Anyways make sure that after applying the mod you have to continue with that mod only if you uninstall the mod your save files wont work. . .
@all
i am snow at a place near Rostok
i forget the name of the place
its a relatively small map, basically a warzone between Duty and Freedom
and some Mercs and Loners peppered here and there
My problem is
The duty leader asks me to kill some sniper(Freedom)
when i go and kill him, inexplicably the Freedom soldiers are still neutral to me
Anyway, when i return the Duty Leader(armed with advanced weaponry and exoskeleton)
rounds up the others and assaults the Huge Freedom base and dies in vain (i do nothing)
my question is should i align myself with Duty or Freedom?
is it possible to be friendly to both and access there armory?
p.s.
if i approach the Freedom leader first
he gives me the same mission
they all go raid the other base and die

p.s.
if i approach the Freedom leader first
he gives me the same mission
they all go raid the other base and die
what u have to do is first take the mission of the duty members
then rush to the freedom base and tell their leader about the arrack
and just watch the fight between them
make sure the leader of the freedom base and their trader named "skinflint" do not die in the battle
your duty members must be dying bcoz of those 4 snipers
for them u have to kill them in night with a silenced weapon
best way is to go to the top of the tower where snipers are and kill them with knife
MAKE sure u save before each attempt and watch after making the attack that whole freedom faction didnt turn hostile towards u
PS:there is an awesome gun(sniper + assault :both in one) in the back of the freedom base
where the tree is fell on the ground
there are two barrack buildings
the gun is lying on the floor
make sure u check both the buildings
do not miss this gun
i already did play through it,
but i only sided with the Duty members
They assaulted the base and were killed like bees
so i looted from both sides(both sides neutral to me)
Skinflint isn't dead(he didn't come to the fight, that lazy ass he is)
will check out your gun(is it a vintar rifle?)
does your method make you friendly to the either sides?
also helped freedom soldiers kille some monoliths at the border
and killed mutant family(damn i keep forgetting names)
the ones with tentacles and invisible
p.s.
now that i have acquired so many various weapons, it is becoming quite tedious to maintain and build up their respective ammos
u can become friendly to duty
just do his bulldog mission
there is bug in this mission
when u are about to give the gum to the duty leader
just drop the bulldog gun nearby and talk to him
he will give u reward and u can take ur bulldog from ground
hmm i've already got the Grenade launcher in the same level in a village house basement
where i went to kill the invisible tentacled mutants(forgot the damn name again)
dunno whether its bulldog or not(weighs 6kgs)
now i have 1000 nato rounds for my nato guns scrounged from freedom
time to follow the storyline and get the keycard from the bandit leader
p.s.
is it possible to repair guns by standing in an anomaly?
reputation crawls to good side if we help neutral stalkers/scientists/duty/freedom
killing bandits/military/mercenaries/monoliths/zombies also increase reputation
it turns bad if we kill neutral stalkers/scientists
and why are u giving much attention to it?
reutation only helps in side-endings of the game and not in the main and the real ending
^^^
Hmm you are right, it doesn't matter with the original ending
so nothing to worry for me
i was afraid that the attitude of the duty guys towards me would change to "Enemy" from "Neutral"
BTW, i just looted the entire Freedom armory(there was a Bulldog6 and 3 Armors too)
SOC
extreme mod should be good for you
includes changes in environment ,textures,weapons,sounds,etc....
COP
SGM mod aka sigerous mod

post #95
i am entering Chernbyl NPP
i heard that its not possible to turn back once i have entered here
what weapons ammo artifacts and armor should i carry guys?
i have virtually all the weapons except the Gauss Rifle
I have the SSP 9m military suit(best in class)--got from sakharov
PSZ-9D suit(Voronin)
Two souls(health), Two Moonlight(Endu), Two Mama's Beads(bullet), 3 Crystals(Rad), 2 Battery(electic)
2 Vintar in mint condition, 1200 vintar ammo
2 GP37 mint, 2000 Armor Piercing rounds
Big Ben
u have one the best armor and guns in ur inventory
but it would be better if u could carry one weapon to shoot grenades too
will come handy in tight situations
use 2 crystal,2 mama beads and moonlight/battery(the one with the highest endurance)
Fang's grave has arguably the best armor in Stalker SoC(60% bullet res) though anomaly res are dismal at best, it's the only Exoskeleton available in Soc
about the greanade launching ability, you mean the Tunder would be better?
I have loads of Mint Tunders but haven't used them for only one reason-- no sniping scope
Till now i have been Using GP37 which is quite awesome but pricey too
Had Hoarded 2xVintorez(Vintar) mint for right time which is now i guess
but the magazine quantity is a turn off for assault
Still haven't got Gauss in Pripyat, still searching
on a different note
i feel kinda sad now that i know the awesome game is coming to an end
i kinda loved Fallout3 which i played continuously for more than a month
@Faun
is the climax really good?
p.s.
somehow i feel that Stalker Soc leaves a lot to be desired and to be improved upon
but its heart is in the right place
Yeah STALKER SOC is the best ever for me despite of the number of bugs. Call of Pripyat's story was not interesting.
Tundar is excellend at close range combat. I used the combo of Tundar and GP37. Vintar is good too. Last level was completed using Tundar because of close quarter combat except for some GP37 moments.
^^yeah, true. You will be on teleportation spree. And last level in the toughest. Be prepared to run and shoot. Don't stay at one place or else you are toast.
Crossing over to Chernobyl NPP
Taking Vintar(mint) 1300 bullets(200 normal, 300 sniper, rest armor piercing)
SSP-9M armor(mint)
no grenades
a GP37(mint) no ammo
Okay ran like crazy through the chopper stage
entered the dark corridors of the NPP
got my first Gauss Gun!!
Dumped the GP37
Totally loving the Vintar and VLA! its awesome to say the least
perfect tunnel fighter accentuated by the dark and low light conditions
perfect stealth weapon
Damn
if i hide and start shooting some group of exo-monoliths they don't even realise that someone is shooting them
usually the window of opportunity for stealth is 10 secs, by then the entire squad is down on head-shots
on the other hand if i use the Tunder, they immediately detect me and come in hordes and even start shooting through walls WTF!!
are they superman or something
BTW
i totally shat in my pants when i head the booming heavy voice calling out to me in Russian
" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx come near" or that's what it tells me in my head
on the other hand if i use the Tunder, they immediately detect me and come in hordes and even start shooting through walls WTF!!
are they superman or something
In my case stealth was broken so the only point was to take down strategically by running and hiding.
Anyway, you will have many close encounters soon. There wont be any opportunity to sneak around and take out.
finished the game finally!!
@Piyush & Faun
the last stage was freakin awesome !!!
jumping from portal to portal (did they imitate Portal? )
the gauss gun wasn't as good as i expected,
some NPC's required 3-4 shots to be killed(not counting headshots)
on the other hand the Vintar was aweeessooomee
i carried 900rounds for it so ended up using it extensively
awesome at sniping, great at point blank range(AP bullets)
i encountered 3 different endings
1)i agreed to be part of the C-Consciousness, they put me in a glass coffin
2)loaded a previous save and had the "raining rubble" ending from wishgranter (I want to be rich!!)
3)And the canonical ending
"i don't know if i was right or wrong,
but i made it, i know i should be thankful"
at last Strelok/Marked One is at peace
awesomee!!
good that u completed the game
if u want more then try Call of Pripyat
th story is lil bit boring in the beginning
but it quickly catches up in the end
and the side mission are god
couple of new mutants,weapons and artefacts too
I played both Shadows of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat. (more than once.
But never played enough of Clear Sky. Didn't liked it from the first level, so skipped it.
That's not even a full fledged forest. See the extremely gigantic sequoia like trees and not even a single ray of sun will shine through them. Filled with mutants and anomalies. Underground caves are a nightmare there. A claw anomaly too.
dont say these types of things
i heard that the tv series will be launched side-by-side of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 game
they said that the story will be almost same for both
Got the documents from Lab x18 and gave them to barkeep. Now off to yantar lake in SHoC.
Awesome game it is and the LURK mod gave it the up-to-date gfx.
I installed COP, I am getting good framerates but it stutters periodically looks like its loading from HDD.I searched about it and found some results that it uses only 1 gb of memory and loads from HDD sometimes.Even in lowest settings I am getting periodic stutters.
jeah..along with vintorez(vintar),thunder,gp37,SGI5k.....and so on
i used vintar along with thunder(coz of its grenade launcher->very helpful in the end)
I played the SOC like crazy for a month when it released. But then for some reason the save files got deleted so I never played STALKER again. I was using several mods. One off them introduced vehicles in the game. And the bugs problem was irritating too. The most common being people not being where they are supposed to be according to the map. Or simply not reacting when I turned up after completing a mission. In the end I was also having a hard time defeating a fugly monster that made my character move in slow motion.
I hope there is a STALKER sale in steam some time. Great games in this series. However, there was so much of walking involved in the first one when I first tried to play it, it got boring sometimes. I applied the vehicle mod and then played it for a month but stopped playing after I lost my save games.
And what does that exactly mean???
I mean if I start from Pripyat then its obvious that I won't be able to understand the story but Piyush said that story progresses with CS and onwards. Whats up with that.
Well story is important to me but the thing is that I once started playing SOC and stopped it because of lacking features in gameplay like no repairs and too much random radiations so I'll start with CS and see what this game has to offer to me.
Shadow of Chernobyl gets interesting after first 3-4 hours. I remember that I too stopped playing it on my first trial, hated the weapon inaccuracy. All you have to do is wait for a random bandit military encounter and collect the loot for good weapons.

if you are ditching SoC just because of its no repair feature, then download the repair mod form filefront.com or any website
its size in few mbs...or may be kbs
i played it in this manner
SOC-->COP-->CS(yet to be played)

Those are rare instances when you will be in a situation like that. I was running like hell, died in the anomaly. Stupid bloodsucker too went straight into the anomaly and died
Don't worry, you will understand the zone once you start playing.

okay..started my CS campaign
stalking in SWAMPS right now
took control on several locations...(i can now go to cordon)
bur i'm wondering if there is still anything left here???
any weapons/armors which i can get here?
and i'm not getting the hang of artifact hunting in this game....may be because of that crappy detector....
You will get better detector (veles).
And go the broken train bogies where you have alternate entry to cordon, there you will find a good vintar bc or some other good weapon.
popping the heads off military and bandits in Cordon
.....just joined LONERS
ok..i once read about an incident in which all of our stuff is looted off us
may be in garbage/dark valley
but when does it happen and where
....right now i'm in dark valley after garbage
how do i kill the military personnels in their cordon base?
i killed the machine gunner and after few seconds another one comes up and takes his place
will the night time be the best?
i only have vintar,IL86 and dragonov(10 ammo only)

so roamed a bit in Red Forest
it was scary but not that much
though phantom dogs were a pain
also the radiation levels were so high in some areas that my 2 bubbles and 1 wrenched couldn't counter it
just helped a group of loners to a reach a spot in red forest
they first told me that they would give me an artifact as a reward, but they didn't
however i managed to scoop up 2 artifacts just near their camp
1 was eye and other was gravi
where can i find a goldfish?
Got the STALKER games at the super cheap Steam sale. Will start playing after a month though. Last time I really got into SOC but had to leave because my computer screwed up. Is the complete mod 2009 mod the best for this? Last time I was playing with the "Lost Oblivion mod".

I have already bought the Clear sky (Rs 114/-). Do you think it is too bad to be played? I didn't check the reviews before buying .
BTW, will the complete mod add vehicles too like it did with the Lost oblivion mod? It might get really boring (and dangerous) to walk so much in this game. And is this mod available only for SOC or the other two games as well? I only bought the Clear sky and Call of Pripyat from steam since I already had a SOC DVD.

that looting part is really funny, you kill monster and zomibie and here you ar robbed by two thugs
i read about it and, before entring the room i dropped eveything outide the door and entered in, the stupid bandit took money and ran, when i came out all my stuff were lying there where i left it.....

i stashed my belongings in the box above the room(where the trader sits)
and spend all my money on weapon upgrades and stash locations
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 will not have factions wars !!!!
i'm sure this will have a large impact on the game
A Q&A with the developer...
Q: What will be the biggest difference between S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and the previous games, if any?
A: In brief, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will offer new story, new set characters (with some good old ones) and, of course, the new engine powering it.
Q: Will there be more of a survival element to STALKER 2?
A:Yes.
Q:What features have been removed/compromised in the PC version due to the multiplatform release?
A:Since we develop primarily on PC, you won’t see any compromises in the PC version. The key difference between the PC and console versions will be the beauty of graphics (meaning PC will offer more of visual effects).
Q:Will there be any new kinds of interaction with NPCs?
A: How do you mean? It’s difficult to answer this one.
Q:Will Sidorovich be in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
A:I will refrain from answering this one for now.
Q:Will the faction wars return?
A:No.
Q:Will the interface (inventory, map, etc) on the pc version suffer (like other games have) by trying to cater for console systems?
A: No, whatsoever.
Q:Will there be any new mutants?
A:Yes.
Q:How many weapons will be in Stalker 2?
A:It’s difficult to give the quantitative figure at this point.
Q:Which part of the zone will it take place? Or is it the zone at all?
A:We’ll be locating the game in the triangle of CNPP, the cities of Chernobyl and Chernobyl 2 (where the huge antenna is located).
Q:Is Zone going to be a large single ?
A:Let’s postpone this question for now.
Q:Will it support DX11?
A:Yes.
Q:Will we see more X-Labs and secret underground complexes?
A:Yes.
Q:Will GSC expand on the import-a-weapon feature introduced with Nimble, and allow players access to more varied and custom weapons from outside the Zone by importing them through specialist contacts?
A:We have some interesting new ideas on this matter.
Q:Will artifacts be something we can go out and transmute through Anomalies?
A:No. However, the area of artifact application will expand.
LOL whoever changed the title of thread must rename it to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. This is the right spell as its a short term for Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber.
Please change it it looks freakin awful.
Now I know why Clear Sky was worst of all 3
man....I am feeling like I have to re play SoC to erase these bad memories of CS
didnt like the ending at all

The following words are from one of the creator of this mod
"People Soljanka - this is not a game, it is - virtual reality. Here you are guaranteed a different experience with every game. Here everyone can find something to their liking."
The game becomes much better after the Cave level. Be warned, for some of us that love the Stalker series, this mod is addictive "Stalker crack". We can't stop playing it."
here are the important details

2.copy the gamedata folder(extracted from tecnobacon torrent) in the SoC directory
3. Edit fsgame.ltx in main directory and change the line
$game_data$ = false| true|
near the top to
$game_data$ = true| true|
4.Check the extracted options folder, don't use the fsgame.ltx included here. Copy over bin folder to stalker main directory. Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\STALKER-SHOC
and copy user.ltx included in this package to this folder. Open it with wordpad and check the following lines:
r2_sun_near_border 1
r2_sun_near 30
5.Now extract and copy the patches accordingly(the patches are supplied with readme files)
6.Now go to the folder \gamedata\scripts and look for the file tb3D_Modders.script, open it with wordpad.
Some recommended changes are the following:
unlimited_bolts = true
hide_weapon = true
7.Edit the shortcut properties, add -noprefetch -nointro so it looks like:
"XXXXX:\\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -noprefetch
^^Nope i am not. infact there is another mod called reloaded or something like that it has file size almost twice than complete and i think it is better than complete.Therefore i want to know whats the difference between them.
*www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-pripyat-reloaded
anyways
killing Controller in mega_mod is PITA (even in STALKER difficulty level)
the new controller has more creepier sound and more deadly psi attacks
was not able to kill controller in agropom underground, so had to run....
just looted the military docs that sidorovich has asked for
but what the heck
the bandits are also eying for these docs
now its 3 way fight
ME vs Bandits vs Military
thank you for the reply guys.i hope stalker 2 will be released soon.stalker soc was the best game i ever played still miss the game.also sometimes that barkeeper region's music rings in my ear
So is GSC. It looks like the end of STALKER series as a whole. Sad day.

Feeling terrible as a PC Gamer. Now I remember, they had stopped posting at Facebook for quite some time back. Also check 12 Game Studios which closed down in 2011, these include the studios behind Blur and Split/Second. Too bad.
When the developer that closes isn't crowding a genre, when they're actually forging their own way and creating something grand and unique, something that should be a trailblazer rather than a sideshow, it's difficult not to feel like this is a greater tragedy, like we're not just losing a competent studio but instead an entire future, a way that games could have gone but didn't. It's happened too many times, and that it's still happening, when it's so much easier to reach your audience, to create an audience thanks to the internet, is heartbreaking.
yup 4Agames should take it.they are also from ukraine and they are the developers of metro 2033,heard it is somewhat like stalker but never played.but i guess this is not knowing to happen and the best developer who know how to develop stalker is gsc itself.
wow thats damn good.according to me soc was the best in stalker series though some may say call of pripyat.but the thing is i just want stalker 2 thats it,i don't care whoever develops it.

I started Call of Pripyat. Killed some bandits , and those pig like monsters.
Its my first stalker game , so a funny thing happened to me . My health got down while struggling with those monsters, i used one pack looking like medic from my inventory and boom i'm dead.

i dont know if its been posted here but they say that the new stalker will always need an internet connection as the various parts of the map and other content will be loaded form the web so as to curb the crisis of piracy. which means it cant be cracked as there is nothing to crack.

Patch 9 released for mega mod (~300mbs)

@piyush - does the mega mod seem as real and hard as the originals or is it something that makes everything in the game easier by giving you too much stuff too early? also does it make the gfx better? and is it compatible with the complete mod?
is there a new story? is it quality or quantity? and sorry.

-->gfx are even better with dynamic lightning and if you still are not satisfied , then you can also download the high textures pack avb at the official site
-->you'll struggle in the beginning as always (like selling artifacts for ammos etc)
but it gets easier in terms of money and scavenging once you get appropriate equipments (and getting those equipments may be hard until and unless you cheat)
-->its not compatible with complete mod..sorry
-->too many new side missions and added twist to main story.After finishing first playthrough, you can proceed to next story which is still unknown to many gamers out there
-->its the sweet combination of quantity and quality
and you can refer the post on first page for some info regarding that

and can you tell me how to get the real ending of shoc? i have currently just entered the npp. i am replaying with the complete mod. last time i played i got to the wish granter and askedd for the zone to disappear.

-->met the guide in Cordon
-->met with the doctor in strelok's secret hideout
-->find out the secret stash in pripyat containing decoder
-->find out the secret door in CNPP and unlock it with decoder
And if you havent done the above 1st 3 things, then you have to reload an appropriate save to get things done
is the streloks hideout that place where you climb up a pipe and the come up to a place where his stash is located? and can i do the guide mission now or is it time restricted?

It's curtains on Stalker 2 as of now. GSC Gameworld is not associated with the franchise any more. Some other dev may take it forward, but no one knows when. So much of promises remain unfulfilled even after 3 games, hope some day GSC/Vostok Games will give us the game they had promised with Stalker: Oblivion Lost.
I'm 100% sure that STALKER 2 will show up..if not by 2013 ...
who knows Vostok games can do equally good job with the franchise
for now.....I'm still busy with mega mod and it'll take me moths to completely finish it
and then there are Dead City, Lost Alpha, Oblivion Lost, OGSE, and many more hot mods out there
lol ok
The thing is each one of the stalker fan should (and he will) watch this movie as it focuses on Pripyat zone, its anomalous activities, unheard voices(read mutants) and possible treasure.
played fallout new vegas. f-ing ****. a joke and a bad one when compared to stalker. and i am guessing fallout 3 is about the same. the only real game left after the legendary S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s is METRO. nothing comes close. and last light is going to be breathtaking.
when i was playing fallout it felt like the devs were trying all the time trying not to make the game too scary. those cartoony icons. how you can chug along a buddy. although its still better than most other games out there in concept. it fails miserably with seriously stupid gfx, choppy animation (which makes running in third person look like swimming through ****), and stupid mutants.
is there a stalker mod out there which can give me a different story other than that mega mod?

@piyush - mate, i am playing clear sky and i am in agroprom at the duty base, you know that the two bandits loot you in the garbage and there i lost my armor. i need a new one can you, tell me someplace near agroprom where i can get a good one. and another thing - i got no money, absolutely none.

its a part of the story
you'll get back every items
there must be a stash location in garbage map
your items are stashed in the area where there are 4-6 bandits in garbage near 2 ponds and concrete logs
i'm assuming the stash's location is not randomized
yeah thanks. but now i will have to fight them bandits.
-----------------------------------------------------------
update - did the underground stuff w/o any armor. was a pita to get rid of them fire things w/o any grenade launcher like thing had to throw grenades up the spiral staircase to kill them.
then i got out and found many bandit bodies near the stalker camp which is near the duty camp in agroprom. will sell them to the traders at duty and stalker camp depending on who pays more.
also the duty leader gave me 10000 for clearing the underground.
AND i found vintar sniper rifles all over the agroprom stalker camp. i got three. i guess they are from dead stalkers.
after all this trading i will buy the SEVA suit from the duty camp trader.
Good news, more optimizations, stability(damn stalker needed a myriad of patches just to become playable) and good story(if bethesda develops it, fu oblivion)
I still consider the atmosphere and realism of STALKER games to be better than any Bethesda games. It felt like a good survival game.
Bethesda games are actually funny, funny monsters...wtf geckos running agape Where's I shat my pants on the slightest growl of bloodsuckers, running back to base to the safety.

I have full hope in Bethesda!
i had my doubts clear with Fallout series and upcoming Prey2 which looks pretty promising.
Bethesda have a thing for these genre and will make a beast out of this game too..
I just wish that they take care of environment like it should be.
You know it very well too, how much is the difference is between the environment of both games.
What I want from Bethesda is to keep the same environment but a better engine than X-ray.

It's better to have hope than to say a 'forever goodbye' to my beloved games like stalker. Bethesda might live upto our expectation, who knows (considering the report is true). I like its connection to the real life disaster (it touch me deep), eventhough loosely based.
It's fun to listen to radio "In the Shadow of the Valley" and its fun to play Fallout.....Oh...."I'm so Blue"
Most anticipated standalone mod for this epic series is finally gonna release now.
*www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/133471-STALKER-Lost-Alpha-Plan-Scrapped-Over-Pre-Release-Leak
The official date is 26th April.
Since its a stand-alone game, no base game required.
The package is free.
Lets see now what these 5 years were meant to devs of this mod.
[MENTION=52329]tkin[/MENTION]
The link you asked about was nothing but the leak of unfinished version of the mod. People were angry coz of this coz they thought dezowave might pull off this project. But when they saw the releasing date of 26th Apr, it was all settled then.
Torrent is up and its legal ( just in case)
*gameupdates.org/details.php?id=5770#
seeders may be low in count for a couple of days. Also the game only save files when the launcher is run via admin rights.

And a review which sums it up..
It's a stalker's dream come true...
A bit of a let down though, to find out the storyline is still around ShoC's time period (I seriously craved for strelok's first raid to the centre of the zone, meeting Fang, Ghost, Doc etc.) But alas, the game has been through rough times and the team's been pressured enough, so it's understandable. Once you go further into the game though, you forget about all and love it even more, thanks to the completely new levels, decor and exploring which give a fresh feeling. The X-ray engine's an old working champ, but the level of detail and visual candy they've drained out of it is astonishing. Truth be told though - i'm on r1 to add that old stalker feel, and it looks just as good on static lighting too! It has the occasional bug here and there. Some of them critical, but not enough to make it a bad day to all the stalkers that waited for this gem of the Stalker franchise.
Overall - i think the game met the expectations and the hype was worth it. 10/10

i think he has applied some mod.
