Great achievement, you've jumped two levels overall in all sections.

Why I always have problem with Mole (Krot) - he don't want to go outside the building? The only solution is to kill him with the barrel ant to go on...?!

[audioave10]

Mole is crazy sometimes...just move on to the underground entrance.
You don't "have" to speak to Mole.

Why I always have problem with Mole (Krot) - he don't want to go outside the building? The only solution is to kill him with the barrel ant to go on...?!

There are a few ways of getting around this. As audio said just go on and continue the game. Another way could be to kill some more enemies near the area as they for some reason draw Mole's attention of being attacked.

I would personally first have a look around and see if anything there is affecting him (APCs are included in this if I remenber right but that was ages ago), if you cant find anything then just continue on he soon move around and go to a random place.

Hey Nightwatch,

how is the NEWSA-Simbion compared to SMP? and... are you still working on future releases? any new features?

[Nightwatch]

Hey Kanyhalos, great to see you here again, buddy. Frankly, I haven't had enough time to check any new mods. But this project is alive and kicking, there are two patches on the way. First one, beside offering some technical support for some delay-spawns witnessed in some dual and quad core CPU PCs when in Pripyat, in initial assault phase ( I have quad but did not experience a delay there, check the video, ballistic confrontation) the patch will also offer a "North-Jump" feature. The next patch patch will bring, mainly, an Extreme++ add-on to the current Extreme version. More on the planning table.


Happy Holidays, DARK TEMPLAR (I'm guessing you're having a holiday) And Thanks I hope you'll get internet access there soon and be with us again.



Hey Wombat_70, I hope you've had a great holiday. Thanks for the enquiry, so it seems the holiday still couldn't wear out the mod from you; mod is very proud, (I'm. too, thanks. ) If you have any new pictures and stats you can post any time, I'm updating the Players Corner regularly as new material arrives.

PS: patches are in work, first one can be available soon, but a small patch, one or two features, rest is technical.

------------------------

PS: Guys, you can post your stats and pictures here, in this main thread, if you have any new ones. The other thread, though was useful at that time, is not quite manageable right now. (merged as much as it can be done) I save all material (pictures and stats) right away, so they won't get lost behind other posts in the same thread, anyway.

[Kanyhalos]

Oh, ok I have not been updated with latest news, I was away ya know

[Kaidonni]

Hmmm, I might return to this mod soon because of a recent development on the computer. One of the memory sticks was failing, causing lots of BSODing. Just unusable, the computer, for the most part. This was only in recent weeks, started when I was on holiday in France (June 19th - July 4th). But, I am wondering - could it be that my previous problems with this mod were a sign of the memory stick failing? Perhaps it was an omen? You know, those dead body CTDs, the immunity to radiation needing a tweak so it actually hurt me, my weapons not degrading, weather the same each and every day, etc? They were all strange (and when some came on over time and weren't immediate). Fine, was May/start of June, but, well, I wonder if that's plausible?

[Nightwatch]

Hey Kaidonni, nice holiday that you've had there in France

On the memory stick problem on your PC, frankly I cannot make a comment (depends on how you were utilizing the mem sticks. As a memory boost?) but as there has not been any problem in the mod on any of the matters that you had described before, there was a certain problem with your PC/software/installation. You may wish to go to the "Hardware Corner" on this forum and start a topic asking about "this memory stick malfunction and its possible side-effects." This is an interesting question.

[Grump642]

As memory intensive as this mod is, both video and system, that may have been some of your problem. It could have caused CTDs due to lack of memory.

[fiznerpin1962]

It could have been caused by the CTD Gremlin......

[Kaidonni]

CTD Gremlin? Great...and I thought that the only real gremlin was the mascot at the Cosford RAF Centre, in the museum portion. Mind you, it could have been anti-virus software related. Had trouble with another game that kept locking up (didn't even load the CD! ). But, given that the memory stick was replaced and THEN that other game was taken off anti-virus scan, I can't be entirely certain. Will have to ask for Stalker to be exempt from anti-virus scans just on the off-chance. My other games are nothing like Stalker, mainly either scripted or multiplayer, so can't really make much of a comparison. They're also older games, so not so memory intensive. But I digress, there's a thread of mine in the Hardware section for the various effects of faulty memory sticks, don't want to bog this thread down.

You know, this does mean I have to reinstall Stalker if I want to test anything...it is patched to 1.0005 currently...lol. On, off, on, off...

PS: I've noticed people talking about the chopper in Garbage after you talk to Seriy, after saving him. When I did that months ago, I managed to reach the Duty checkpoint and pick up the RPG in the trailer. Okay, it required the talented cursing of the computer and the skill of throwing your hands up in the air in dismay, but I managed to do it. Just about. LOL. Also noticed that, when you talk to Seriy again after all of that, his dialogue is repeated (recall mentioning that before), and the chopper incident happens again. Deja vu! I mean, once was enough... I swear Nightwatch does these things deliberately, just to catch us out, and that it's a clever excuse that it's a vanilla problem .

[fiznerpin1962]

Yes, Nightwatch and Fatrap, as long as we are on the subject, are both devious bastards I had to give up on Fatrap's latest project. It was really good - but progressively multiplying mutant spawns over "save/reload" - and invincible trolls.... drove me right over the edge. But I digress (or rant - call it what you will). Those guys will "getcha" on some really twisted deals.

[Kaidonni]

Ooooh...last night, I had a dream about this mod. The chopper in the Garbage. I was rushing through the mounds of radioactive waste, taking cover whenever necessary, in an attempt to reach the RPG at the Duty checkpoint...I haven't even gone through reinstalling Stalker to 1.0004, yet alone reinstalling the mod, and I'm dreaming about this game...

[rockingmtranch]

Dreaming about Stalker Kaidonni? Wow. Ok, ok. I admit it has happened to me also What a great game for not only replay value eh? Now we can also play in our sleep
