Description
here are some Full Dynamic Lightning (R2 only) screenshots of Lost Alpha, with Cromm Cruac's Atmosfear weather. Screens speak for themselves. Please do not pay attention to grass shadows, it was tested only with old bins, and we are not yet sure, if we can restore it. :)
NOTE: before someone would start an useless hysteria wave, we keep our own made weather cycles too + add Cromm's 6 new cycles, and that will change dynamically, so those, who wanted to see the old classic (soc vanilla) skyboxes, they can see them, nothing was removed, just expanded :)
what location is this?
I think Dark valley ... I think
Holly hell that looks amazing =)
Zat be Agroprom :>
I think that ground needs sky lights,and i dont like the cnpp on horizont but its only my thought.
WOW simply amazing..
Ok, so here's my take on this... pretty much lost all the feeling of Lost Alpha (and the old Oblivion Lost, but LA is shaping up to be so much more than that), to be totally frank. Although it looks wonderful.
I do like the panoramic view, something I believe LA could benefit from.
Cheers dez0 and Cromm!
The hell cares of old oblivion lost, since we released all builds of old stalker?!! Everyone saw it, ppl calmed down, and they don't want to see "the same" anymore, everyone want something NEW, so do us. Can't you guys (this is not adressed to you, exxed) just stop s*****g about THE old? :D
It's coming from the taps, the river, and even from the beer bottle we open, it's damn boring after these years. :)
Lost Alpha IS NOT a weather mod, and not the weather is the strongest feature of LA, its just one of the others. Besides, if you guys (at least once) read the description, NOTHING is removed, we just EXPANDED it, is it so hard to understand? Really?
Aye! I totally agree, that's why I mentioned it in my previous post.
Although I do enjoy all these realistic weather/color palette mods, I feel they ruin the surreal feeling of the zone, it's my own opinion and I don't condone anyone else's.
The other builds don't have anything to do with any of this, your launch point, as I understand it, is that idea of the old STALKER that was presented to us back in 2003, not the game itself but the feel we got while watching the old trailers revealing the fantastic atmosphere of the zone.
Truth be told you guys hit all the right notes so far and I'm loving it and seeing your work makes me feel proud to stand by such achievements and its truly impressive.
Cheers dez!
Im confused, arent you trying to recreate the old STALKER??? thats what it says in this mods description...
(buried)
please delete the cnpp from background
Woah woah, you don't just go around commanding the modteam, they just do what it feels right to them, besides, the NPP in the background doesn't affect anything, and in my opinion and the majority's opinion the panorama looks good.
NPP in backround gives me one of most impressive feeling from gaming in old builds. It's big part of "old stalker".
the NPP in the background looks great to me, brings a good feel to it, and in real life, you would see it in the background.
Yeah, i agree, but it feels to be extremely close, like two kilometres only, which makes me quite scared, as like imagine walking around an area that is close to the cause of the worlds most biggest disasters ever.
Dez and the team is doing amazing job, the panorama is cool, the weathers are cool., the Lost Alpha is freaking cool. Like Dez said, this is Lost Alpha and not Oblivion Lost. They have created something much greater then the old versions of Stalker. Dez, dont mind those guys, just keep to your plans and visions, they quite clearly are the best ones.
"The hell cares of old oblivion lost"
Burn me at the stake for saying this, but this seems to be a complete u-turn in attitude and direction. But at the end of the day it's your mod.
I am not trying to sound like im having a go at you, personally i've always thought sticking EXACTLY to the old builds and designs in every single aspect wasn't the way to go. They should be built upon and augmented with your idea's/lessons learned from other mods etc (And no, that doesn't mean I want 10,000 arsenal esque weapon mods from the get go) It's just a very different tune all of a sudden.
"we keep our own made weather cycles too + add Cromm's 6 new cycles, and that will change dynamically"
I do very much like how this custom version of atmosfear looks (all the screens look amazing) but:
a.) In some ways I agree with exxxed about the loss of 'feeling'
b.) Im wondering how jarring the transition from these new panorama's to the old ones will be? Will they be touched up redone to match, or do they flow well as it is?
If it can be implemented in the style of and compliment the lost alpha, then im all for it.
this is not a sudden switch, and i didnt even want to talk about it, because if you extend something without any loss, then we dont consider it a stepback.
the old skyboxes will have these panoramas as well, so it will fit. it took me 2 year to get used to these zone panoramas, ppl bashed me for 2yrs to add them, and now we added them, they want me to remove them. it always goes like this :) nothing special.
Glad to hear you're using the panoramic view.
I distinctly remember it from the first trailer when they presented the cordon area and the agroprom and thought it gave a sense of scale and integrity to the areas.
Take care fellas!
Yea ... you can never satisfy everyone... that just tragedy of human race...
Holy crap. I'm stunned.
No way! leave this nuclear plant please! BEcause this is stalker and this NP is one of the mine ideas there! With no NP it will be not Chernobyl atmosphere! This NP always should to remind to player to keep going to center of the zone!
I am sorry for my previous post.I respect your opinion and let it be as you said.I hope that everything will be fine.Good luck!
No need to be sorry for your opinion. You said 'please'. Dez could agree and follow it... or not.
Very nice sunset! looks very realistic and atmopheric.
that's what i imagined when i read novels about stalker
thanx for showing it in picture :)
the feeling of endless map was achieved
Wow, such a mesmerizing view!
beautiful
like the npp in background looks like for example the citadel of half life 2
Your destination in sight but still a long fight...
