I started watching Ray Of Hope some time ago, don't remember exactly when. Now, when the mod team released the first map and a test video, I'm pretty sure, that ROH can be one of the best stalker mods ever. But for me, there are several basic problems:

1. The synchronization - probably the bigest problem for the team. They need to create a good synchronization between players which will be on the server, that means if one player will, for example, kill a mutant, other players will also see this. It won't look so good when the other will see that mutant still alive.

2. System Requirements - they will be for sure higher. But the question is, how high? There will be of course a possibility to lower graphics. But what if someone don't have a new PC, what if his computer is 6-7 years old (like mine)? I'm sure that not all will be able to play ROH, some people will have to buy a new PC or upgrade their machines. I don't think that playing ROH on a notebook will have any sense.

3. Game engine - yeah... I'm pretty sure that everybody know, how bad is X-Ray constructed. So even if the first two problems will be solved in the early stage of the last part of the project, there still will be one question - will X-Ray manage to withstand it? The team modified it, but how it will look like "on the field" - we will know only, when we will play ROH.

I hope it will be soon.

Some time ago I downloaded Repair Kits Revamped mod for Shadow Of Chernobyl. After first mission, when I wanted to repair my Sawed-Off using items from this mod, I noticed that the game crashes when I'm trying to use the repair button more than once. In the log I got this:

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\xrGame\script_engine.cpp
[error]Line : 73
[error]Description :
[error]Arguments : LUA error: ....e.r. cieŃ czarnobyla\gamedata\scripts\repair.script:419: attempt to index local 'part' (a nil value)


stack trace:

If someone also got this problem, here is the solution.

First, you have to download Notepad++, it will help you to solve the problem. After that, find the "repair.script" file from the mod gamedata and open it with Notepad++. Find the line number 419:

alife():release(alife():object(part:id()), true)

And changed it:

if part then
alife():release(alife():object(part:id()), true)
end

Remember that the line "if part then" must be the line number 419. If you did everything like I wrote, save the file. Now this bug will not more happen.

I note that not everyone may experience this problem.

Thanks for Pangia from forum.stalker.pl for help with fixing this bug.
