Update

It appears that we have found all remaining names needed in the legacy files. I will soon create a plug in for them so that new games do not have to have them in it to save space.

I am now working on areas where enemies don't attack each other like the warehouses in collector. In SOC the warehouses never had bandits so there was nothing in that level that had them listed as enemies. Now Freedom will react to the bandits when they try to enter the base.

If you run across a place where one enemy does not react to the other please let me know so I can check it out.

The SweetFX crashes are my fault as the actual preset files I created did not get into the patches. I believe the auto-updater already fixes it so I will wait until 109998 to release a fix myself.

Ja mislim da ce u multiplayeru, dosta igrati ulogu manje grafike, jer npr. kad sam sam stavio vise trave da redera skuzio sam da sad neprijatelji pucaju na mene kroz travu i da me vide dok ja njih ne,

dosta je zeznuto ako npr. ja koristim dx8 gdje je sve lijepo pregledno i stavim bez rendera trave, dok netko koristi depth of field, motion blur, i svakakve ostale nepotrebne grafike nerealne kod sweetfx i meltacovih shadera

tu je ocito da cu ja nekoga prije vidjeti i prije djelovati nego netko drugi tko koristi dx9 ili dx11 sa sweetfx

zato ja mislim da default grafika i render biljaka i trave i shaderi bi trebali biti postavljeni za sve isto jer bi to bilo kljucno kod prezivljavanja

bilo bi mozda dobro tecnobaconu predloziti nesto u vezi toga

a posto je to nemoguce barem jedan dio staviti da je default poput trave itd. jer bi moglo to dosta igrati ulogu

jer npr. zelis igrati sa super atmosferom i grafikom da se uzivis ali netko tko igra samo da lovi i ubija ko bandit baci na najmanji render trave i dx8 i skuzi te sa 100 m cuceci u travi vidi tebe sa 100m koji cucis navodno u "travi" koja se samo tebi prikazuje

@Nailer

Mada ja ne igram mnogo online(multiplayer) igre i ako me moje znanje ne vara, taj se slučaj (kojeg si napomenuo) može da dogodi samo u "prvosobnom" režimu igre, jer tada motor igre određuje 'Ai' koliko on vidi i koliko je precizan kod pucanja.
A kod multiplayer-a to ovisi prema postavkama drugog igrača koje ima nastavljene na njegovom kompjuteru, pa tako te ni on ne može da vidi ako ima vrlo visoku travu kod sebe(nastavljenu).

Ispravite me ako grešim

@sadd
da tako je, znaci ako drugi igrac nema postavljenu travu da se crta kod njega u postavkama
on ce imati prednost jer ce vidjeti druge koji bi terbali biti u travi i obrnuto

zato mislim da bi tecnobacon trebao tu postaviti nekakav default trave po levelima

Right now I am optimizing several things to improve performance and reduce/rid ourselves of the staggering.

The loadout system has been consolidated and optimized as well as the death manager with good results.

There are two areas that are causing the spawn stalls, the over sized string cache and the respawner which has to go through 10 times the alife and items each pass.

the strings will be ongoing as there are a massive amount of them and many can be consolidated.

I am looking at ways to improve the respawner and smart terrain so I can spread the respawns out a bit.

Still having a tough time getting myself back into my work but am trying to respond to my mail. If you have submitted an issue and have not heard from me then please submit it again, I will do my best to respond quickly.

I will be preparing 109998 for release soon and then we will focus on the final ballistics as implemented in the new engine which will also support 64bit and 16gig ram. If all goes well we should see the 64bit engine at the same time 1.1.0.0.0 is released.

Back to work while also being primary CQ for my 91 year old mom.


aleks1970 managed to add the "Repair Kit Revamped" into the STALKERSOUP with new textures and some new functions!.

Credits also go to:
- barak1001 from Moddb (creator)
- LoNer1 for additional texture (reworked by aleks1970)

I am testing it for inclusion into the next patch, many thanks! aleks1970

Update

You already know about my big blunder: protected items check..

I fixed Lukash, was crossed with Arhara quests.

I like the new repair system as it will let you salvage weapons, I will probably change it a little so that the salvaged weapons are stored separately from MO as I am getting many submissions where his inventory is too big (red flashing warning about transmutator).

MOs inventory may be the biggest problem with the xray engine and certainly is targeted for a major redesign during conversion.

Things are now behind schedule so I do not know when the patch will get posted but I will 'tweet' it the minute I do..

Thanks go out again to Aleks1970 for the new localization spreadsheet and final restructuring of the text files. I will be posting the updated text files and the spreadsheet in the repository in the dialog improvement project. Upcoming patch will have the new structure as the system.ltx and some gamedata files are required to fully use the new text.

Since you guys are now at a point where it is either bad/missing info in the guide or screwy tasks.

I ask your help in reporting screwy tasks and giving me the save to play with or submit additions/changes to the guide from helping others.

I am working as much as I can to get 109998 posted but I want the new repair parts and ammo belt storage handling done and optimized.

more in a day or two..

Update

many things have been fixed/improved in this upcoming patch so I will focus instead on what still needs to be done after this patch:

Weapons are still on hold but hopefully will get into the 99 patch.
Artifacts are not miss-named but mangled in some cases and will get sorted out.
The old repair box and repair tools will get removed in favor of the new repair kit which is now given by sid.
More entries into the diaries about tasks to reduce the reliance on a guide.
Even more dialog improvement and localization.
Some task/storyline changes to coincide better with the main storyline.
Continuation of the Storm and the Reclamation afterward which is also the start of the live-link interface.
Final fixes to broken quests and the last iteration (hopefully) of the all.spawn.

Thanks to all testing and especially to those that have submitted work!

New repair kit


The Repair Kit was designed to reduce memory consumption by storing the number of used parts salvaged instead of keeping each part.

There are three types of spare parts: small arms, large arms and suits.

You can carry only so many spare parts for each type but you can keep salvaging items even after they are full, just removes the item from memory.

If used often you can reduce memory consumption dramatically as each weapon takes at least one storage id and addons also take one each. I figure that you can reduce memory usage by 20% if you salvage parts at least once per level.

I am working on using the same method for ammo in the player's inventory which is the biggest abuser as each round of a partial box gets an id, the ammo stacker helps but using the method above would improve on it dramatically.

Sorry I have been unable to work and respond for the last few days, been in the hospital. According to the doctors I had a seizure due to a gall stone, I woke up in the hospital and did not remember a thing. I am not 100% yet so things will be behind for a few more days.

Please have patience with me and I will try to get back to work on issues in the next day or two.

WOW, away just three days and I have more than 1300 emails to answer and also a huge amount of entries in my forums..

It will take me several days to get back into the swing of things, also been told that my brain will not be 100% for several more days yet.

I see that there are some issues with factions being enemies when they should not, this could be as I just went thru the factions and adjusted some relations values that might have conflicted with some older game saves. I will take another look at them this week.

I was trying to fix and incorporate the few characters that were not working in the Waiting Room and also Techniques, I will try to resolve them in the next few days.

Thanks to all for the well wishes and also the great submissions for me to look at, it will give me much to play with.

I will post another update mid-week.

Update


Now that most of the SOC/NS portions are almost fully working there are some new issues I will need to address:
Changes to the dialogs and infos to better guide the player through the Zone.
A better guide that better follows SS as it is unique in many ways plus continues way beyond NS.

Another note to users: many characters get removed as the game progresses for two reasons; reduction of alife in some levels that get overpopulated or they do not have proper smart terrains for after NS so they cause crashes to path errors (like greeter in bar).

109999 is getting very close now!

Dialog Improvement


There has been a lot of talk about translation of the Russian text. You would need to collect all the text from 9 different mods, one of which is NS which is huge. I did this translation over 4 years ago and it took me almost a year.

That said:
One of my BEST co-modders is Aleks1970 and I have just been informed that the Balkan language plug-in for SS is more than 80% completed! Aleks also provides me with English improvements to the dialogs as well, plus things like the new repair kit, advanced suits etc..

The Dialog Improvement Project did stall but only because of the rapid and quant full changes that were occurring on my side, I did use the submissions but gradually. I will update the dialogs and also define the gamedata.dbq (Localization Plug-In) in 109999 so that all text is localized in that file.

The best way to make suggestions now is to send me just the text block and it's tag. i.e.
<string id="enc_wpn_addon_shotgun">
<text>'new text'</text>
</string>

Thanks to all you testers out there!

Update
Had to recompile the all.spawn for 109999, doctor in hideout logic not being referenced. Will not require new game start unless you want the animation and sound for that sequence. Otherwise just wait out the time and it will complete properly. I will probably recompile it one more time for 1.1 but that may make all past saves unusable in 1.1.
If there are any level makers out there that think they have a new level that has a complete terrain and game graph that they would like to see in SS then contact me before 1.1 is done!

There are many changes to the text files in 99 as well as a lot more localization so I would hold off from doing too many files until it's release.
Once 99 is out weapons should be complete and ready for 3rd party plug-ins such as Grimwald and Realistic pack.
Several other sections have been designed to be plug-ins as well:
Sounds with ability to change just the Radio and Music Player.
Sky/Blowouts.
Terrain.
Weather.

Already my music from Brazil is a plug-in from the repository that demonstrates this feature.  

Economy
I do agree that the monetary system has been screwed up with all the submissions I have used.

I have not looked at it at all as there has been way too much else to work on..

It appears that this is an area that I will have to look at prior to 99 and I hope it does not take too much time.

I have to say that I hate the lottery system in the game and might get rid of it, maybe he could be the banker for depositing money instead.

A big problem I have is the shear number of items with prices as well as the number of traders. Not to mention the number of npc profiles that define the money they get on spawn..

It's often very easy for someone to point out these issues without realizing the depth of the work involved..

I redid the sms messages so that they are all within the 186 char limit and so far I have had no crashes all the way to the brain lab.

I also discovered what has been causing the crash when going from brain lab to the yantar tunnel. It was bad map spots on three alife objects, this no doubt is what is also causing the waiting room crash.

The 186 char sms limit is going to be a headache for those translating to different languages as it will be different for each language but can be done.

Update and discussion


109999 will be out in just a few more days with a new all.spawn that will still work with prior saves but will have new and changed content for 109999 starts. Much will be fixed and some new surprises will be in there too.

Thanks for the list of issues, you have maybe listed 20% of what I really have left to do before release..

Thanks TrueBritt for helping with this as you are probably the most played tester I have with way more submissions than anyone else! You have been pretty much everywhere and given me the most useful feedback than any other player!

Again thanks to ALL BETA testers out there that have helped me get this far!

The last patch before the alpha release which will have all the db files cleaned and reorganized for better performance.

It may take Jammer awhile to add 109999 to the updater.

Life has been hard on me the last few months so things have fallen behind. 109999 is not as complete as I wanted it to be but it is still fairly large and adds alot of content. Many fixes and improvements too. Those difficult and nagging issues that still remain are either dialog improvement that fell way behind or things not functioning or causing crashes that need the new db files to actually get fixed. Hopefully I will get time to update my website with how the alpha release will be organized so that plug-ins and packages can be used to mod the game in a way that is user friendly and never damages their base install.

Story Progression
There are ways to sidetrack the whole NS story which actually ends in Dead City and that is when you end up in the same spot as if you start the game as collector. If you end up in the swamp then you need to continue the NS story until you get to that point. This will get a little bit better structured in the alpha release that should be out rather soon.

Level-up 0 is all the stalker content as well as DMX NS and all or part of a slew of other excellent mods.

Level-up 1 is the collector treasure hunt by DKZ and also my gold bars quest and zep (zone expansion project) storyline which has been developing during the beta, it should be completed during the alpha stage.

Level-up 2 is the aftermath and repopulation rush after the great storm and will be part of the final release.

Level-up 3 will be the companions by OGSE with my own twist to it, hope it is ready for release but may be later.

Level-up 4 will add the 'live-link' PDA (social media interface) and multiplayer using my own creation 'surrobots' allowing very large groups to play together. This needs hosting and other things which puts this out several months yet.

During all of this there will be continuation of the zep storyline so SS is far from wrapping it up. The incorporation of packs and plug-ins also allows very easy third party content to be used.

As far as the 64bit engine there is a lot of work done and hopefully all involved will honor the gnu license and post their work as I intend to do so we all can get there faster.

Thanks all for putting up with all the patches and issues and helping me get to this point and I promise that the new alpha release will really be worth all the work!

Nisam duže vreme bio na našem forumu. Može li neki kratki recap oko ovog moda, pošto sam za njega zainteresovan, sad se već može reći, par godina.
Čuveni 1.1. peč se čeka još od onomad.

Čuveni 1.1. peč se čeka još od onomad.

Ukratko, ja sam na početku prošle godine vjerovao da ćemo stiči do 1.1. verzije najkasnije do(oko) oktobra(listopad, mislim?), ali je ponajprije TecnoBacon imao zdravstvenih problema sa svojom majkom a nešto kasnije i sa samim sobom pa je stoga sav rad na igri posustao za neko vreme.
Zbog svega napisanog se sada radi sa malo smanjenim tempom te smo stigli jedva da izbacimo ovu predposlednju zakrpu malo pre nove godine.
Sama igra još ima problema sa CTD-ima zbog memorije - što če se srediti sa 64bit verzijom a i neke druge malene greške ali se inače sada (posle optimizacije skripti) vrlo brzo ućitava...

Za detaljnije informacije oko samog rada i šta je bilo sređeno - potrebno je da se provjeri sve njegove postove(od TB-a) - koje ja ovdje lepim.
a takođe možete da pitate našeg člana - Freedom koji je več višeputa prešao kompletnu igru.

Finally back!!!

I made a mistake in x16 that removes ghost and controller when switch gets activated, sorry for that. I also believe that I have finally fixed the x16 and waiting room exit crashes (thanks aleks1970) but of course only time will tell.

If you want the fix for x16 before 1.1alpha is released (appx 1 week) then email me for it.

The 1.1 pre-release will have the alife better balanced, tasks better controlled and arts/anoms managed more.

When submitting crash reports, etc. you should still send the autosave as well so I can verify what the fixer and pop control did to the level on entry.

THANKS to all you BETA testers out there, most of your feedback will be used in the 1.1 build!

When I started this mod it was sorta linear but it was only a version of Naradnaya Solyanka and had 13 levels. It has been a major task to add all the content that the recent version contains and much without any translations. I had to split it up into two distinct parts to prevent many conflicts and thus level ups were born. Along with the addition of story and quests from the 3 original stalker games; has made the guide less usable and in some cases wrong or confusing. I have been slowly adding to the diary to expand on some of it and also have been revamping the task manager to try and balance it better.

There is a linear story that takes you all the way through to dead city and that is where you end NS and start the collector, it still has a few rough spots. log entries also need to be created to help follow the story and what needs to be done to continue much like the new collector diary.

I am trying to address as much as I can before 1.1 release and the alpha version is close (will share it next week as I don't have a design team for that) which makes you my alpha testers (voluntary of course..).

Already I have fixed many of the issues being discussed but some are only verifiable from new starts which of course will take awhile.

Thanks for all the submissions, they are making verification easier for much of the 1.1a release.

Really sorry I have not posted 1.1a yet but for good reason..

Trade structure was a mess and had to be completely restructured to function the way it was originally meant to. Now quest items are truly protected while allowing full customization of supplies and a progressive trade style.

Fixed all the bad arts in forgotten forest, many fixed or modified quests based on feedback.

Still a few days out as we are hitting the weekend and of course work is last on the do list during it..

Thanks to all testing and helping get it done!

Dialog Update
I have updated aleks1970 to the new 1.1a so that the dialog improvements can be integrated properly into it. This is no small task as I have done a lot of work on several of the files which will need to be compared and properly migrated. Not all the changes may get into the alpha phase but should be caught up by release.

The benefit of having aleks do this is of course demographics so hopefully we won't loose the humor and real intent of the dialog.

Thanks to all involved!

It is almost ready, will be posting 1.1a tomorrow FOR SURE!

Lots of fixes and improvements as well as a good improvement in the overall speed of the game loop.

This is the final reconstruction of the database files which now go to gamedata.dbv.

Future updates, enhancements and package add-ons including plug-ins will be easy to make as well as for the user to install/uninstall.

Want a different environment then just replace gamedata.dbo thru dbq, trade system just .dbu, weapon configs just .dbr and so on.

Should be well worth the download and old saves will still work although some fixes and new content are only available with a new game start.
