Release version 110008 is available on ModDB and is now in an installer with auto-updater.

Visit stalkersoup.net for more about the latest release of the game.

All 54 active levels are now with content that never stops. From level-up 0 (SOC/NS) to level-up 1 (Collector) to level-up 3 (The Storm) and on..

Beyond level-up 3 (Reclamation) to the DLC content available after that, this mod will certainly keep you going. Still a BETA (5 patches left to release) but is ready to play and very versatile to fit any gamers needs!

I am now at 109995 and preparing 109996 for this week. In this patch I have optimized the load out and looting systems, also fixing the LDK issue at the same time. I have also fixed all the object ids that have a '-' instead of a '_' in them that were causing LUA C-STACK errors when passed to the encyclopedia. I also had to fix them in the all.spawn but I created a legacy xml that allows you to continue using your existing saves. The old torrent version no longer exists but now there is a good auto-installer/updater at JAMMER's stalkersoup.com (not my site). Soon I will upload a new installer version which will be the same one used on the special STALKERSOUP 15gig USB drives shipping on release to the Friends of STALKERSOUP (FSS).

Sorry I have not been here for awhile..

STALKERSOUP!

Patch 109935 is available.

All should update, new games not needed but if an old save has an issue then please send to stalkersoup@tecnobacon.com and I will try to resolve it for you.

Things are moving fast and there is work starting on getting the task descriptions improved so a guide should not be needed as the NS guide is becomming less accurate all the time.

109933 Fix 2 is in the Repository.
this fix will take care of Voronin and also the bad saves but you must go back to a save before the corruption of your bio radar and/or when your pause menu screen fails.

109930 is in repository

email me at stalkersoup@tecnobacon for quick help

109930 is in the repository, all should update

this is the texture_lod value, it must be 0 or 1, 2 is not supported.
It changes to 2 when you put texture detail to half or less.

109928 Update
Almost ready, still working on wharehouses. Actually it is a flaw in the group spawner, some of the spawn radius callouts were commented in the all.spawn and this one inadvertantly commented out the logic for the squad spawns so the barrier squad that is supposed to be attached to the captain never spawn.

The load out system was the key to balancing the squads in combat situations, can't wait until I have time to expand them from 5 levels of probability to 10. I need to get the weapons catagorized and completely listed (dAVROs has been doing some, thanks!), then I (or someone) can truly balance them accross the Zone.

New Bioradar also works smooth and is much better in combat. It now will show all living creatures first then corpses up to the scan limit. This way a reasonable limit can be placed on the radar update slice to prevent staggers and stalls.

I have perfected the 'one in the gut then one in the head' style combat... when you shoot an npc in the gut he will scrunch over and loose his composure for a short time which allows for the second shot. The timmings and hit ranges are very touchy and now that the ranges are correct small changes make BIG differences.

Hopefully I will have the bad squad spawning fixed soon and can release this patch.

For those having issues, please email me at stalkersoup so I can work with you. We are at 109927 fix 4, for TORRENT 109 users the updates are in the legacy folder. Those trying to extract the .db format, just right click on .001 with 7zip and the other files will be picked up automaticaly.

have you emailed me at stalkersoup?
