Stalker is back! Thread

And indeed it is.

Hammy-bob, chis, dtd, and arghvark played tonight, was great fun, though i'll knock a v1.05 really soon addressing known lag issues, and possibly a new menu.

And no one missed it

Naw, just kidding, but what made you abandon the project at first? Or, if you didn't abandon it, put it on hold? I remember hearing about this mod some time ago...

Of course, when I read this thread title, I thought you meant S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadows of Chernobyl. Who was our STALKER expert on here, anyway...

I "finished" it years ago back when Darkplaces wasn't too big.

With the recent Darkplaces, I thought i'd pick it up and make some fixes and changes for the sake of fun

I'll download it later tonight, sure sounds like fun.

god to revive somthing like that must need extreme mental control

Well, those are pretty cool screenshots. I might reinstall Quake and give it a try sometime...

Of course, I say that, and I never do it. I've only downloaded as many mods that I can count them on one hand.

You don't need quake, it'll work on open quartz.

Openquartz.sourceforge.net

Or even 4d shooter.

you always seem to "revive dead mods" and only release those.. try releasing a new one

I dont understand why you are requiring darkplaces with your mod.

cause darkplaces owns j00

tru dat... /me rapes stalker

Looks like fun.

Oh, oops, I'm pirating BF1942 and Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal, so this might take a while

Works For Me™ (on FragFiles local, at least)

Just released the 1.05 patch, should make it more playable online.

As has been explained before, it uses new visual effects that the newer versions of darkplaces has.

All I see that is DP worthy is the muzzleflash, and custom client pitch (which can still be achieved in q1).

Look harder.

Good call, a_llama.

Indeed that is a pretty mod

If I had the time I'd install and play. Good work Cheapy

I'll play Wednesday, I have no time tonight and tomorrow.

Also, due to the large size of the progs *cough* lots of weapons, vehicles, and other miscellaneous things *cough*, it's really unstable in every other engine - only DP is capable of running it.

Nothing wrong with that. When I find the time and space (my bro has been downloading like made since we only have less than 2 gigs on the system), I'll be sure to give it a try

According to the readme the reason was too much precaching for regular Quake1 to handle. Also yes, that "flame" is darkplaces specific and not created in any other way. That model also is from somewhere else. Other than the precache problem and the "reduce lag" that it claims to take advantage of it doesn't seem to be using anything significant from darkplaces. Not saying it should but when forcing someone to use 1 specific engine only because the coding managed to overuse precache (Where I must say?) is kind of stupid.
