Have your say for my STALKER: Twilight K.E.T. mod

[Jess Stingray]

OK. Lemee know when it's done, I wanna play this.

 

[Ketxxx]

Another 34mins it should be done.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Great, I can play after I eat my dinner

You can use the server for a site for the mod too, if you want. I'm cool with that.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Downloading now, will test when done. Is this one that neds a game restart, or can I just load from the save you sent me?

Also, I vote sticky.

 

[Ketxxx]

You should be able to load right up with the save I sent you and everything will work. Anyone interested in designing a website as we gots a server now?

 

[Jess Stingray]

Loads it fine

Also, no bugs noted. I think this is ready for release

However, no blowouts there, as far as I can see.

Oh yeah, I know basic web-dev too.

 

[Ketxxx]

Soon, few things I want to do still to it.

 

[Jess Stingray]

OK, think I got a bug... Sid and the barman sell pretty much everything

They even sell Guass rounds... and scientific medkits.

Anyway, want me to look through the prices and make them more realistic? Obviosuly, it wont be like, 5 rubles for a medkit... this is the zone where everything is illegal. But 300RU for a basic medkit... that's a bit too expensive.

 

[Ketxxx]

Nope prices stay high, ppl will NOT be able to buy things easily. Thats the point, the zone is about survival, and to survive you need to work hard at it. Its also intentional traders sell all types of ammo and medkits, thats purely for convenience to save endless running about.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Ah, OK. How bout I make prices higher? It is an illegal market, things won't be cheap, after all...

 

[Ketxxx]

I think most prices at least are about right. Ammo already costs a lot, and madly good weapons such as the guass, sniper rifles, FN F2000 and G36 are pretty expensive too. Until all features are implemented and known to be working properly minor polishing tweaks can be put on the backburner for now.

 

[Jess Stingray]

OK, no problem....



Is there anything I can do when I'm bored? Other than design the website.... and make my own mini-mods for STALKER that are shite.....

 

[Ketxxx]

Yup. Find out how to get mutants spawning in different levels.

 

[Ketxxx]

Heres some screenshots to feast on showcasing a few of the mods highlights. Expect beta 4.1 soon. Just ironing out a few kinks.

Wolf and his balanced L85A2 instead of shitty AKS.

Rookie STALKERs, and all NPCs in general now use much more varied weapons

Authentic Russian vodka.. I'm getting me some of this stuff imported for christmas

STALKERs live out their own lives

....and come and go as they please

Dont shoot....

 

[Jess Stingray]

Hey... you say sleeping and dreaming is included... how exactly do you do this? I can't find it anywhere in the alpha on the server.

 

[Ketxxx]

Sleeping & dreaming isnt in this rebuild yet.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Oh, I see. OK then.

 

[Ketxxx]

alpha 4.1 is nearing beta 4.1, cleaned some things up. fixed a few bugs and reduced the amount of ammo traders sell, there was way too much of it laying about with traders if the player happen to run low.

 

[Jess Stingray]

They also restock on everything if you leavet eh map, then go back. That's how I got over 300000 Guass Rifle rounds when I hacked prices down to 1 ruble.

 

[Ketxxx]

Yeah I know. Shame there isnt some kind of idle timer that needs to expire before traders are restocked. Why on earth you would want 300,000 flash rounds is beyond me tho I'd take you out in no time with an SVD, its faster rate of fire pwns the guass

 

[Jess Stingray]

Lol, I like the Guass. It's a mini-nuke gun.

 

[Ketxxx]

No its not, its just "ultra accurate" that reminds me did you manage to get that gameplay vid? cos if you did sorry, but it'll be useless now I added some nice features and am just testing them out, once I know things are ok I'll release the current build I have as beta 4.1. Of course, I'll upload to the server a few days before its "official" release to give you a chance to get a video of gameplay footage up and around a few places

 

[Jess Stingray]

OK, will do I think I found how to get the stuff into WMM now... hopefully.

 

[Jess Stingray]

Let me know when it's uploaded, so I can get to the vid recording.

 

[Ketxxx]
