Freeplay Start - English version

[Lee28]

Hi Guys

I will wait for the patch xiani, Im busy getting erm drunk right now...having some beers.

I will still post on here, earlier I was worried that I wouldnt understand properly all the posts in this topic which were in russian, babel fish aint all that clear.

Some times its like jibberish, makes no sense.

Btw, This forum is cool, I do feel a little intimidated at times though...with you guys posting in russian..no offence.
I cant understand you properly even when I have translated the posts.

Your english posts make perfect sense.

kOmpOt, Its cool to know that I am not the only one who wants a realy hard mod created for people such as ourselves.
The mods out now as I said before are just too damn easy.

Could one of you guys say HI to SVSASV for me, he might not understand me if I do it.

Cya later guys, Back to my supply of beers I go.

here goes patch for lite version: http://xiani.e-bcard.com/patches/FreeplayStartLite_en_Patch_v0_9652.zip

i have translated now all "thread-folders" names, soon maybe will translate some most important threads header too.. also if you will be interested in any thread in russian, i can translate what it's about.
for example, i think that could be interesting to you coz it is also will add some hardcore(i suppose), the mod i going to create on "freeplay start" base:
first of all i want to remove all factions visuals and indicators.. i don't think that if people will be really in Zone or at war actions, they will wear so colorful clothes as for example stalker novices wear or freedom, or monolith... at same time - who will sew clothes in Zone only to make himself be visually different... main goal is - comfortable, reliable and as less visible clothes as possible... best choice is camouflage.. so that should be most common wearing.. camouflages of all kinds.. so if you will see someone - you could never tell who is he and how much hostile he is
also i want to remove red indicators of hostiles, when crosshair gets red when you pointing it on enemy..
also no big camps as Bar or Freedom.. may be only army should keep their bases... all others - just a small camps
may be i forgot something to write about this mod.. not sure.. anyway... this mod will be discussed later again =) when i will be more close to it's realization

Hi Xiani

I have added the patch you have uploaded but I get this error now.

Expression : start_node && path
Function : CXml::NavigateToNode
File : E:\stalker\patch_1_0004\xrXMLParser\xrXMLParser.cpp
Line : 97
Description : NavigateToNode failed in XML file
Arguments : ui\ui_hud_sleep.xml

Am I missing another file ?

Btw, What you posted earlier about the visual markers and the diferent clothing thing sounds cool, also if you do remove the red indicators of hostiles, when crosshair gets red when you pointing it on enemy that would be realy cool.

Make it alot harder.

Regarding the above error I have installed the mod and then the weapons pack and then the little patch for the repair dialogue error.

Hi Xiani

i have added the file from the main Freeplay mod you posted on GSC and now it works, i also had to add the patch you posted earlier again.

It works ok now, I am ok

For testing today I will go to the other levels especialy the Npp ones again and also look at the sidequests to, let you know if I have any Ctd`s or see anything weird.

Test the added weapons to.

if you do remove the red indicators of hostiles, when crosshair gets red when you pointing it on enemy that would be realy cool.

try to play without crosshair at all

Hi kOmpOt

I have never played stalker without the crosshair, might have a go later.

Xiani, I have been testing the new weapons and they are working fine.

The PPsh-41 is ok, little too powerfull though. its damage stats need lowering.

Mg 42 is cool, its way way too powerfull, its a god weapon. you can drop enemies at far too long a range.
Its damage stats definitely need lowering.

Ak 47 is about right I think its ok.

In cordon there were bandits at the railway bridge which was cool, normaly the military are there, it was a nice change to see bandits there.

Saw something else neat in garbage there was a bandit wearing a stalker suit, I like that it is different. Would it be possible if there were some bandits wearing Exo armour ?.

Would love to see that in the zone.

This version is running great, I hope it will be ok up North to.

[Lee28]

Would it be possible if you could alter the Exo suit so that it has got good nightvision. like the SEVA suit.

The normal green one hurts my eyes plus it is rubbish. Normaly I alter the outfit.itx so that the Exo suit has got good nightvision but your mod hasnt got one ?.

Edit: Should I be posting about the freeplay lite in the other topic, not this one ?
