Will the sirens actually be present when a blowout occurs? I love that sound and it always gives me the chills when I hear it. That'd be awesome if so, :S

...Well that sucks, because I'm using Opera and don't have an adblocker, lol.

This video appears as just a blank screen for me...

Guys, Holden already said he was done with this. I think that's just how it's going to be.

Good to hear about the FDL/ODL.

Hmm. That arm looks like it's twisted very strangely. The wrist is completely horizontal to our eyes, yet the actual hand is starting to go vertical length wise.

Vehicles, computers, artifact melding, PDA modifications, different story, different gun animations, completely different levels, different mutants, etc.

It'll be an entire new game. Awesome, but lots of people are just going to play it because it sounds cool, and be disappointed when it's a lot different than Stalker.

Actually, now that I think of it, forget it, because no one cares about those people. :P

I don't think it matters if they know what they're doing. All these new complex features added could possibly...hamper gameplay for the average Stalker player. I'm not saying it will, but it could, and I think he's got a point.

These are weird. I don't know if it's in a good way or a bad way. Hopefully, we'll be able to see how they sound like in game.

Bravo, sir. You really told us what you thought was wrong with this mod.

...the only one that can be downloaded? lol

Yay for that. Never liked fast travel in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Graphics aren't even the absolute point - optimization, bug fixes, extra features are also a part of it, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

The file you're looking for should be - gamedata/textures/ui/ui_mainmenu.dds

Of equal importance are the UI .xmls, which are located in - gamedata/config/ui/ui_mm_xxx.xml

Delete any files that have ui_mm in the beginning of their file names.

Also: main menu music is found at: gamedata/sounds/music/wasteland2_l, as well as it's r varient.ogg

Should be it.

Hiya, I think I can help you with your 'menu' problem.

However, I need clarification by what you mean 'menu'? As in the screen you come across when you first enter the game, the inventory screen/etc, or what?

I think you mean texture? Model is the 3D object, texture are the details wrapped around the object.

I don't know the exact path if you mean model, but it should be around gamedata/meshes/weapons/abakan/wpn_abakan.ogf, although, as I said, I'm not completely sure. Simply extract that from the LURK 1.05 archive. You'll probably also need the texture, regardless, so I will give you that, too: gamedata/textures/wpn/wpn_abakan.dds, and also grab any wpn_abakan_bumpxxx.dds.

What do you mean by 'menu'? As in, the main screen when you first turn on the game? Clarification, please.

Sitting through all the movies allows the game to load fine?

The render choice is based on tastes, not performance. Static lighting is considered more atmospheric than the pretty, bright & happy full dynamic lighting.

You are free to use full dynamic lighting if you want - but don't expect everything to work/look proper in the new levels. Or for it to run optimally.

Can't get any of the videos to work.

Moving dynamic light sources are very system intensive, so I doubt there's really a solution - unless you tone down the graphics.

2012 isn't even released yet...

I think that's because you didn't start a new game - if you started a game before adding the mod, the Cordon would have its default textures, (any texture you see ingame will always use that texture instead of mod textures added later, until you restart your game). The other areas, however, you would be able to see the new stuff just fine, as you hadn't previously entered them.

Please, everyone, shut up. Would you guys rather never see this released or wait a few more weeks? If you would rather never see this released, then why do you come to this page to see if it's been released? If you've been waiting from the very start, then a few more weeks isn't all that much in the long run.

I think, sir, you're the one that needs to get out.

That's rather unfortunate, as that's a sort of unrealisticness that doesn't make sense to have.

...Am I the only one who looks forward to both? They're completely different things, so I hope to enjoy both.

Arsenal is a complete mess. Completely unbalanced, as well, and most of the guns have no place in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Some of the default weapons don't even belong in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., much less weird prototype weapons that are in Arsenal and somehow get in the Zone.

No, Oblivion Lost is completely diffferent from Complete.

1.05 IS 1.0552, I believe - the download was for people that were using previous versions.

There's an easier way to do that then typing it into console, you know.

...it's called turning off the sun shadow option in advanced graphic options, :P
