Clear Sky Mod Possibilities blog - ConspiraG

Now, first of all, if you haven't read my previous blog entries, you should do that now. They example why Stalker is a great game and the entire concept is even greater. I am not sure if I want to get back into modding it, but as I keep having these great single player un-modded experiences, the more and more I want from this game. I kinda exit the game every time thinking, "how will anyone top that?"
I have many ideas about what should be modded in clear sky. I am looking to contact one of the developers because I figure they could do it best. Faction Commander though. Now I have had some great experiences with that. One thing I want to create is a script that tells a certain ammount of characters to form a polygon (square, diamond, circle) around the player, and follow his movements whether they are in front of or behind him. This would be wonderfull if we could also control their tactics at the same time. Maybe when you are just walking, they just walk. When you crouch they take cover behind whatever objects are nearest to them or just crouch aswell if nothing is close enough. Using the artificial intel that they have to hide behind objects could make this feel really epic when wandering the zone or clearing a building.
Another idea that was inspired by one of my game play stories. So after I barely managed to kill all the military at the vehical station on Master difficulty. I was so tensed up from that, that I grabbed all their items and put it into one of the military guys backpacks and dragged him all the way back to the stalker camp and dropped his corpse right infront of his imprisoned commander. This made me think, it'd be nice if all these stalkers would run to this body on command and take the items upgrading their equipment. Thats a simple one really but I am more concerned about the command situation.
The greatest thing we could do really, as a modding community is to create a mmo style game that incorporates mods. It would be for a select audience though, with similar computer specs, also, we may have to rework or all out remove some of the third person animations cause they can be horrible. At least fix the damn headlamp. Imagine a group of us setting up our own homes in the stalker camp. In a zone filled with mutants, enemies, and loot. Or maybe just a couple of us can basically run certain areas. I call the Cordon. This whole mmo style has been done for Chernobyl but not clear sky. Camping it up in a tunnel while a blow out happens, then being swarmed by retreating bandits and boars.
I have many ideas and I am a capable modder, but with the annoucement of Stalker C2P. I don't know what I will do. I may continue the game unmodded.
One other thing, if anyone has any optomization techniques please share them with GSC and the community.
