Im glad we have someone working on a quality Mod in our STALKER community. I am not sure why this is, but I still enjoy this game even after all these years. This game is different that all the rest. I like the fact we can take off in any direction we choose and explore.I haven't seen this in any other game. Thank you for all the work you're doing and if you have anymore spots for the beta release testing, I'd be proud to help.

Me too. I wanted to increase the magazine size in a few weapons, as well as increase the power behind each shot. I can do these things in Last Alpha. The one thing I couldnt do with the weapons LTX was the bullet drop. Shooting the colt 1911 45 pistol I have to hold 20 feet high shooting at 75 yards.I think the bullet range setting does this , but some parts are missing so it isnt as easy as SOC. Also editing the actorLTX ...I could alter the jump speed (how high you jump in game) but I could not affect the sprint speed. I increased the speed like I did in SOC, but in game I still just lumber along like an overweight couch potato ! Im getting closer, but it takes a lot of trial and error. ;-) If I get it right I will post back here if you want ? Good luck and Happy New Year ! :-) I did figure out an easy way to add money from the start. Actually , someone else did and I used their idea. If you need this one let me know as well.

Does this work with the USA Version of STALKER SOC ? Is there anyway to make this work with the USA version ? Where can I pick up the Russian Version of STALKER SOC ? I want to play this, but alas , I am a lowly American STALKER . :-(

Im sorry, I know this is two years old. Im using the unpacker after the 1003 patch and I don't get a gamedata, I just get the files contained therein . Do I create my own gamedata or am I doing something wrong ? Im asked which file to unpack, which one do I choose ...gamedata.db0-db9 or dba-c ? Thank you in advance

I may be wrong, but I think he doesnt understand. Maybe his lack of understanding our English language is the barrier. Think about , if all he uses is the machine translator, its very likely he hasn't a clue what you're complaining about.You are right however,until we get a decent translation, we wont enjoy this mod.

I'm having trouble getting into free play. I refuse the AI Life at the end. Aren't those "Portals" supposed to be disabled at the end , the ones where you jump all around the area from one spot to the next.

I cant find the first piece, the Balance Fragment somewhere in Dead City ! I have looked hi an low, any tips or hints , nows the time. Anybody can help I will appreciate it.

Thanks for the heads up. I hate to go through the lab again, but as long as the error message will stop, thats a good thing !

Here is mine :

This patch..2.0 to 2.5 , is this mod still only for Russian Version of STALKER SOC ? I bought Russian version of COP...just to get it a few weeks or days earlier. Thanks for any help...

Im in Dead City about to "Return the package to the Scientist" , but I see a stash on my map "Armory Case" =( Mercenaries use this for weapons and ammo ). I have been up and down all 3 floors of this building and see nothing except some lockers in a hallway and the door is closed on one. This seems to be it....no guards though and its not letting me search it ??? Can anybody help me , Please ?I could post a screen shot...I don't know if I can or how...
Thanks,

What is the safe's combination ? Please Is it 2 9 5 ?

I disabled actor legs in my game, but I was recently attacked by the demon dogs(The meanest ones, not the plain ole hound dogs)and I was looking down to shoot the damn thing when ....CTD ! error read like "missing bones" or something similar

I imagine some of these crashes has to do with hardware or OS clashes rather than this Game. I have always been a big fan of STALKER games because it is the best "free roam" game and realistic when it comes to weapons. (Bullet drop ,amour piercing , etc....)So the haters will hate and complainers will complain. Players will love this game because its fun. Nobody ever said life was fair or perfect, right ? my two cents...

I love this game and I donate when I can, but I am disappointed that with all the time there was to prepare for this day , there would have been a better plan for the upload/download of these files ! Didn't they already know of the limitations of MODDB ? This place is a great place to upload game files to ,and fast to download from. (http://www.wrzko.eu/games/). Just sayin...If Lost Alpha were on this site, I would be playing right now !

I went to bed at 3:47 am CST. It's now 7:06 am CST and I don't see any links or servers up and running ! STALKER LA is like the Deep Blue Ocean...she does not like to give us her treasures easily .

Do you have a "Donate" link we can use to help you guys in Real Life . I know it takes money to get by and a little xtra cash might help you guys work better because you may not worry so much about other things. I will be honored to donate, as Im sure there are more men and women who would donate as well. Got a link ? :-)

Happy Birthday Dude ! Many more to come ! :-)

I found this reference :(http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&thm_page=1&thm_id=21854&page=3&sort=ASC&sec_id=17&offset=300), and will give it a try. Sounds reasonable....

One more fail, this time I went to the crazy zombie in the little house above the water(where he shoots at you through the hole in side)anyway ,I got in the warehouse compound but not far and once more CTD ! Here is the log : FATAL ERROR

Will this MOD really happen ?

I tried again and this same log file is all I get

:FATAL ERROR

I dont understand why I get this extra letter "h" and is this enough to cause the CTD's Im getting ? Please help.

Alright, Me again . I applied the patch and when I play it crashed and this is the log file :FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : I
[error]Function : CInifile::Load
[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp
[error]Line : 166
[error]Description : Can't find include file:
[error]Arguments : models\capture\toughh_mask_damage_guy.ltx

stack trace:

If you notice , the word "Tough" has an extra "H". I noticed when I patched , that "extra h" was in the file also. I figured I got a weird copy of the file or something. Anybody have an idea why I get this extra "h" on this line ? It obviously cancels out the "fix" . I will try fix the spelling only and not install the patch as I have done twice before already. Again , I am open for any ideas. Thanks

YUP , Im stupid.....I have STALKER COP installed on the same harddrive and in my excitement to fix the problem, I applied the patch to COP....havent tried to play it yet(since my goof)....I wonder how many of the other patches I applied to the bit Composer file ? I welcome any and all wisecracks ! ;-)

Is anyone having trouble approaching the Military Warehouse after applting the patch ? It doesn't matter if I go around to the Freedom front gate and speak to them to gain entrance or if I go to SKULL and take out the snipers , either way, once I see the inside of the Warehouse, or get close enough to it , I get a CTD , and here is the log :FATAL ERROR

I will double check, if anyone can see my mistake...Im ready to hear it. Thanks

I feel pretty stupid ! I knew this , it's just been so long since I played a Mod that required this action. I have been reduced to a newby, noobist I am the NOOB ! I thank you for your polite reply. Thanks...what happened to my brain ?
Thanks so very much Genezis0 :-) John

Im in the first underground lab where we have to kill the Dwarf in White and then we faint and dream about shooting all those running rats. Well , when its time to come awake, my screen turns gray and NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. If I hit "Esc" the munu pops up and if I go back into the game ? I go back to a GRAY SCREEN. I cant get past this barrier ! Any help will be appreciated !There is no error message and no log is generated !
Please Help ,

Every time I go after the White Drawf and kill him, I go unconcious and when I wake , the screen goes off and my only choice is to restart the level and it happens the same way all over again. Below is the log file. Good Luck . I appreciate all your help !
