Description
Link for a new winter mod, I've not found much info yet but Cromm Cruac put up a vid link and a rough translation of the concept at GSC. It has an original storyline that sounds promising.
Background: The Zone has been covered by a huge anomaly that consumes heat. In some places the temperature can fall as low as -60C. Most of the settlements has been evacuated and left abandoned. Meteorogical data suggest that the center of the anomaly appears to be at the CNPP. Our mission playing as an SBU agent will be to determine the origin of the anomaly.
Is this really a mod or an entirely new friggin game because the detail says new game!
It's just recorded in SSAO mode though right?
At 2.17 it says Stalker Call of Pripyat on screen. It's a mod but when you do enough to a mod and totally change the storyline and add new maps etc like the Way to Pripyat does then it is like a new game. I mean it's as different to Vanilla Cop as Clear sky is really. That's the beauty of stalker. If you like the basic game mechanics the choices are endless. Personally I'm tired of vanilla storyline mods, The communities have so much more to offer now, Both sides of the border. This side is more into being perfectionists where as the Russians are more into renewing storylines and adding quests etc. Which for longevity is what it needs. The same thing just with different textures gets boring after you've done your first 10 or so playthoughs.
Man, I feel exactly the same way about how much our communities are capable of regarding new story and content. One of my favorite mods, Secret Trails 2, really showed how new environments, and even redesigned old environments, can really change how we experience the mods for the better, especially compared to other mods that reuse the same plots and level orders and events over and over.
whoa it looks loke it was made in Source Engine totally not xray
I want to try this so much, are you planning to do a translation?
It'd be really nice if it came with one as I'd prefer not to have to but sadly they never do, even when they've promised us one..
So presuming it needs it I'll do a machine translation to start with and if I enjoy it enough to make it worth the work then I'll do a rewrite yes.
Also we don't know how far away it is yet, I haven't seen any details on when it might be released yet.
You raise some interesting points with regard to the current modding situation for the Stalker series, and how the mods are developed. I also admire your ability to navigate the Russian modding sites, not always the easiest of tasks.
The link provided to the video of this mod, and subsequent links from it show what the X-Ray engines are capable of, this looks a really interesting mod.
Best Winter Mod by the looks of it indeed.
looks a nice mod
