hm..ok i want some new wpns =)
1. Changeable melee weapons like axes, pipes, a machete --> which can be find around the map or bought by traders or whatever
2. Nice shotguns for mutants... eg AA12, Pancor Jackhammer, Striker...
3. and is it possible to attach MORE than a sniper scope to a rifle?? maybe an ACOG or nightvision scope, reddots and laser sights? extended mags??
maybe a drum mag (RPD) or a c-mag (MG36) Reflex sights for the MPs or maybe an attachable carry handle...
or camouflages for weapons like in cod? but to add this colours to your weapon you need to find a weapon expert who does this for you.
he must be very deep in the zone and hard to find for a little reward he adds ACU, wooden, dusty, forrest, desert , and even chrome and gold camouflages
to you weapon

@Needaname

Nice thoughts! I Really like your ideas, but CoD like The weapon modification is a Must. We are working on it atm. That you can give your weapon to the "NPC" located in "Randomland" and then get attachments for it.

Thank you, and dont forget to watch this thread, and advise it to all your stalker friends!

I was thinking about revamping the old stalker hud and UI. You know how most of the armors in the game have gasmasks, well why not work on that and think in terms of 3D. I'm not sure if it's possible in scripting, but I think a nice 3D looking hud can be done. You find a couple of gas mask mods out there, but they all look 'flat'... And I think they really weren't done that well, rushed.
I'm thinking of Star Wars - Republic Commando. The hud in that game was awesome, it'll just add to the experience that is stalker. When it rains you see water flowing down your mask.

You could even take this to the next level, with basic armors you can't really see how much ammo you have left unless you go into the inventory. While with more advanced armors you get a nice little UI hud that shows all these stats.

The only thing you might not really be able to change is the map, not sure yet what to do there.

Nice ideas here, very original. Will look over it

what about improving vehicles. in some mods you can drive but thats not well enough for the stalker community. eg the tank you can drive, but you cant shoot
with it-.- thats pity. but dont make it like: OH I CAN SHOOT WHILE IM DRIVIN WUHUUU. NO! you only should be able to shoot by changing the place in the
vehicle: 1-6 are the places. 1 is driver, 2 is the gunner, and 3-6 are passengers. like in BF2. another thing. do you know co-op mod for stalker soc?? you can
invite friendly NPCs and STALKERS into your raid. they help you in gun fights and run after you all the time. i want this in the Particle Paradise mod. PLEASE!
and if you can, please improve it, that the NPCs, which are with you, are also able to get in the vehicles with you. eg: you are driving. another NPC is shooting.
and the rest of your raid is sitting on top of the tank and is shootin with rifles and so on.. throwing grenades. and you can give commands like . GET IN EVERYONE! *npcs get in the tank.... *driving..... OK NOW GET OUT EVERYONE *npcs leave tank... would be more like battlefield=)

needaname,

that sounds ... interesting. BUT its NOT possible, sorry. The engine doesn't have the possibility to add seats to a vehicle. But NPC's can follow you, not underground. But thanks for the support much appreciated!

@ first a Q :will the gameplay be more realistic or arcade? ... but now my ideas to get better weapons or upgrades or armors you have to "rank up". a little level system for stalker you begin at lv 1 or "rookie" or whatever ... then a few KILLS later ( on lv 12 maybe you are EXPERIENCED" ) an at least ( eg lv40 you are MASTER STALKER or something xD ) the quests in the game dont only give money or ammo but EXP. mob spawn rate is very HIGH so you can go HUNTING like in mmo rpgs xD the mobs have levels too. so on lv 1-10 you hunt DOGS n ROOKIE BANDITS lv 11-25 you hunt BLOODSUCKERS ZOMBIES and ARMY GUYS an'lv 26-40 you hunt MASTER STALKERS SNORKS PSEUDOGIANTS to get higher level and gain better equipment for your stalker but not only monster killing... quests like "Dog killed 0/20" should be selectable. MUCH of em^^ ----the weapons you can buy is dependent on which faction you choose---- Duty: AK series Freedom: NATO wpns ( better in mean range) bandits: Shotguns and melee weapons ( better in close combat ) and MERCs: Launchers and Sniper rifles ( long range and against groups of enemys. ) i could list ALL of my dreams of HOW stalker could look like, BUT: i understand you have not the TIME to add all this stuff and you DONT NEED TO! i just want to give my knowledge to you to pick out the stuff you like BEST! good luck and have fun. we all count on YOU =)

Hehe needaname, you like capitals eh? But i really like your ieads, but follow the rules please, dont just post such long and difficult to read messages. Do it in the list order.

And about your Q, YES, gameplay will be more realistic.

I like the ideas about the melee weapons, but I'm not sure about the levels based scaling that sounds like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Yeah, and its not really possible...

Well that too, after all we are limited by the engine that made the game in the first place.
But different melee weapons did sound intriguing we could maybe throw in some gag weapons like a plunger or something funny along those lines xD

ok now: could you make the world more explorable. so that you find more useful stuff in the stashes?.
and: is it possible to split the armor in parts like helmet, feet, arm, and chest?

Well I believe most stashes are empty because you need to have the info about them before the game puts loot in them, and as for splitting the armor up, I could see maybe separating the rest from your head but nothing further (like in CoP), like LoNer said below.

Good to see you active here guys, keep it up. Later, i have posted a new news item regarding my particles. You can view it in a couple of days, hours, depends on when it will be checked by a mod.

And Needaname,

The Zone is one explorable place, full of secrets. But some more secrets can hurt though, so yes. I will add more random stashes.

About the armor, no. You can only add gasmasks to your hud, as a separate texture, no scripting comes to the hand for mask though engine limitation...

Who wants snow in this mod?

you mean the seasons change automatically?? or you mean a snow mod as an addon?
for both i say yes!!!

Snow as an addon ofcourse

Sounds nice, I like that idea

Nice sig you got there man! And its totally right too!

The snow is implanted! Check out the screens

are there snowmen too? xDD
just kidding^^ but will you add some freezy ice textures to the weapons when snow mod is installed^^

Yes, i will. Whats up with everybody these days? no one comments! But when a pic from Complete or LA (yes, they are awesome) is shown everybody goes wild! Even if they take a pic of the sky, which is just generic, everybody seems to go nuts

Way underrated.

Pictures make people excited!

I have pics and vids!

New homepage thanks to INtense!

here is his profile:

Moddb.com

I would like to see some more advanced scripts !
(Weapon realism,Damages edit, etc.)
Ya know what.....

Those are already done ^^ I have made a calculation with the numbers of a friend of mine, VinoBob, and calculated the kinetic energy on the body when a bullet collides with it, with these values i adjusted the hit_power and drawback power of the weapon to its weight, size, calibre and velocity of the bullet
