Description

Thanks to to Naxela, Clear Skies has a new shader effect, never before seen in a Clear Sky mod. The saturation\de-saturation shader produces a less vibrant image that is more dull and dark, this allows us to generate an image that is far more befitting to the setting of stalker. For those of you not keen on this new development, it will be a checkbox in the installer and in the manual release it will be an optional.

We, on the other hand, highly recommend using it! It helps generate the atmosphere we are aiming for in the mod and I personally think it just looks damn cool :)

Naxela will be introducing a variety of new effects into the xray engine (1.6) as part of our graphical face lift, in bringing Clear Sky to present standards.

In other news we have almost finished the aLIVE feature, camps all over the zone are more lively than ever, and the turf wars are running nice and smoothly, the next sub part of aLIVE will be a complete overhaul of mutants... Surprise attacks from mysterious creatures in claustrophobic environments will be the order of the day!
