How Can We Improve Your Stalker Roleplay Experience?
More Cowbell.
Fixed Radio's , Sound Emitters , Guitar Sweps , Snork SNPC's
Admins can spawn a few for a roleplay experience.
Set Vehicle Rules, a "Loadout" menu so we don't need to mess with flags. More guns, and the goddamn Gauss Rifle for Monolith, even if it is just a AWP replacement.
I want that S.T.A.L.K.E.R suit back :(
and trader's permit to all traders...
I want to be able to be SRP weapons from the officer business tab, and not Hl2 like before.
Fixed radios.
Silver, you still don't understand how crucial this is. You think it's silly, but it's not. It's not at ALL. People can read our attack plans, it's retarded. Duty doesn't even use the radio much anymore 'cause of this. We plan in character, in person, and it sucks so bad. It's so hard to coordinate missions without revealing too much info about our mission. =/ Also, you don't know how easy it is to metagame.
The ability to tell who killed who.
You want minges banned? Give us this ability, like they have in TacoScript, and I guarantee you we'll gain members, and lose the shitty ones. We need this BAD.

We need this, right now.
Totally agree with Rohok, oh god I agree, I mean COME on, we can't tell who killed who, it's dumb. Someone could abuse guns and rape anyone and get away scot free. Wtf?
Yeah, this way, we can tell what minge-Freedom was DMing my perfect RP'ing Duty members. =P
Quote from: Rohok Yeah, this way, we can tell what minge-Freedom was DMing my perfect RP'ing Duty members. =P
You got that the other way around >_>, plus we need to test new maps. redux is getting old.
im just going to put stars on the posts i agree with
Why don't you give people more freedom? Half the shit people wanna do you just ban them for anyways.
Quote from: Rohok Yeah, this way, we can tell what minge-Freedom was DMing my perfect RP'ing Duty members. =P
B-B-B-B BULL DUNG. But anyways yeah Officers should have the ability to spawn Faction weapons (Only weapons that were available to that faction in the game)
How about the ability to KICK PEOPLE WHO KILL RP. Rohok seriously. Im getting tired of you DMing EVERYONE in freedom. And if it keeps up ALOT of people will leave because i left.
Im down right pissed right now.

I agree as well.
I think there should be more mutants and such and we should give everyone barkeep and eco TT so they can set up missions and the loners aren´t bored and gun minge to get a gun ><

It'd be nice if the OOC whining & bitch fests to stop. It's hard to RP when you can't read the other posts due to OOC agurements/Spam .

No. . . Just no. Plus im going to start skinning some more, expect some new armor soon =)
So DUTY can't kill Freedom and vice versa? Makes a lot of sense. I watched what went on. Rohok roleplayed everything but yet he still got bitched at for killing Freedom ICly. What does he need to do? Submit every conversation and /me he's done that proves he was planning on attacking Freedom? It doesn't work like that.
If you get prop killed or minged or something really outrageous, feel free to complain. But come on, when two factions that absolutely loathe each other kill one another, does OOC really need to be spammed with "WTF?"
Why can't we just continue roleplaying instead of complaining about every single thing that happens? Seriously.
The thins is WE CANT ROLEPLAY. If we are to busy dieing, how do we roleplay.

The problem is, he raids us every 10 minutes, no need for that. It would also help if he didn't pull off miracles all the time. "Oh look at me I have 20 bullets in me, yet I can climb a ladder to the roof, jump from the roof to over the fence! Oooo now I can magically run even though I'm getting lighten up by bullets to the ass?"
Also he kicked me for saying metagaming. When it was true. The guy magically has our frequency, yeah... The guy also has a magical cloaking device like from Harry potter! I know alot of things in this server are different from the actual S.T.A.L.K.E.R, but I never seen duty raid freedom every 10 minutes in Oblivion lost. He then shoots us not knowing we're freedom, and if we shoot him without being up close, he'll say "You don't know I'm duty". I could keep going on and on about this.
I agree but how can you roleplay when it's 10 vs 3, and we get raided every 10 minutes. We maybe wouldn't complain if he didn't pull a miracle. And we've been trying to rp, talk to Rohok about that. He literally just gets bored and says "Hey lets raid freedom! That's the only thing Duty is in the zone for! Killing Freedom! YAY"

Dude you minged and Lied about having a radio.Aces have acess to stuff .Deal with it. Also I was on when the thing your talking about happened and your statement's greatly exaggerated. Hell I was there and ready to shoot you in the face when we almost got your radio out DESIPTE YOUR LIES. Yet you flamed everyone who would'nt agree with out OOC & got kicked .Rohok's a good person and doesn't do thingsi n the manner your speaking of.

So the fact I GOT SHOT and he said rp it, yet when he broke into our base, and i shoot him he "walks it off"... Makes lotsa sence.

I dragged his hurt ass back to base . If memory serves.

If you're saying I flamed everyone who disagreed, which was mainly duty, then you're wrong. I didn't even Flame rohok, all I said was they were metagaming, pulling of miracles. Exaggerated? No, you just said you dragged him back. You came when rohok magically jumped over the gate while hurt, and he then somehow ran while you were dragging him? That wasn't an Exaggeration. Saying I flamed was exaggerating what I really did. How is ICly lying about your radio minging? But having an admin cloak another one not?
I just want you all to know before I start, that I needn't justify myself to any one of you and I'm doing it out of pure respect for your own wants and needs in this community, and being the head of the SRP department does entitle me to whatever I want, whenever I want, however I want. If I wanted a nuclear submarine, I could have one. I can do anything I want, to any of you. I pay for the server, I have access to everything, and I make the rules.
Now with that being said, you all know that what we do is out of pure politeness, and consideration for the community, and we're not giving you people chances, or allowing you to assist in decisions just because we have to. Because we don't have to. None of it is a requirement, it's just what we want to do.
Finally:
1: You've never been shot in the leg, and neither have I. So I highly doubt you know what's possible or not. My character had a bullet in her leg, nowhere else. I lept from the top of the building, over a meter gap, down about 2 feet, and landed on a guard house. I /me'd screaming in agony. Then, I leapt down from there, and my Duty member helped me limp-jog back to base. I ran forward holding W, letting go of the shift key every few steps to simulate limping.
2: I kicked you for bitching, and throwing around false accusations without solving the problem in private with that member. You didn't even make an attempt to contact him on a one on one basis. We have a policy here, and it's called: NO BITCHING. If you have a problem with somebody, you make an attempt to take it up with them, and if that doesn't work (AND ONLY THEN), you take it up with an admin. The way you worded your sentence, and the way you were pointing fingers is what got you kicked. Nothing else. I refused to ignore your accusations all together because us admins are tired of the drama your sore-loser faction brings to the server.
With that being said, Deathcon had authorizations to be able to hack radio frequencies, and I am strongly against his cloaking field generator. However, he getting an auth for both things, and role playing both rather well, I have decided not to force him to give it up. He sells us information, he doesn't give it to us for free. We paid the price in order to find you, and track you down.
3: Cobra was kicked for flaming, and if he wishes to act immature about it, that's fine by me. I have no sympathy for people who play the victim in a situation. Cobra and Tunddruff are those kinds of people. This is a gaming community, with simple, insignificant problems that makes a broken nail look like the end of the world. Learn to solve your issues in a mature manner, without the involvement of the entire playerbase. We don't want to hear your drama. Leave, and cool down if you're angry, but don't cry and claim in OOC that "Rohok has ruined Role Play for me." Because in all honesty, that's just silly, and you don't ever give a crying baby what he wants, because he'll just keep doing it over and over again until you've ran out of things to give him.
4: The last time I raided you I was wearing a different suit, that was NOT Duty. It was a plain black suit that many S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs wear on the server. There is no possible way to know I'm a Duty member unless you were just making assumptions, which, by your OOC reaction to my claim that "You don't know I'm duty", I know was not the case. My weapon was an FN2000, which is a rather weak, scoped rifle and I had no objects on me that could be used to identify my corpse. This would have been stated later in the OOC discussion had you Freedom members not ragequit, and cried to Locke.
Now finally, this discussion is OVER. These accusations, this crying, this bullshit you're all making us admins put up with is DONE. Stop it, and remember this quote for your future HGN endeavors: SHIT HAPPENS
All deaths that have not happened in a faction vs faction battle will be investigated, everything else will not be. Battles are observed most of the time by admins floating in observe mode, to see the way people are fighting. If players play by the rules, and don't strafe, bunny hop, or assgun, then all is fine. Other than that, there are no rules in firefights, just: Kill the other man before he kills you.
::EDIT:: Be adults, and solve your issues on a one on one basis. If, by then, you were unsuccessful in solving your problem, THEN contact an admin. But not a second before.
If you suspect somebody of using hacks, exploits, or they are suspected of being malicious to the server (crashing, stealing the script, whatever), then you can come to use directly. If you know for sure that somebody as intentionally prop killed you, THEN you can report it directly to an admin. If a player is running around with a weapon, killing everybody he sees, THEN you can contact an admin.
But if it's a faction battle, keep your mouth shut. You knew these battles would happen the moment you signed up for a faction. If you didn't, then you're incredibly naive.
Dont talk shit about me or Cobra. You dont RP with us. You dont even talk to us.
Well. Due to massive complaining on both sides of the table, a temp cease fire between duty and freedom would improve my S.T.A.L.K.E.R. roleplay experience. ( Im tired of the shit, maybe its best for freedom and duty to not see each other for awile. )
I generally find it stupid to argue over a roleplay situation. You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day.

That's a wonderful idea, Sniper. Locke will probably see this suggestion and agree.
END the faction wars, ADD npcs.
Problem solved.
All done ;)

End the server, it crashed due to NPC's
Failure
;)
Also, if you happen to find any good stalker'ish models with the correct animations, pm me the link. Im trying to skin some more models for the server.
That is true :P ; touche
I'd like it if those of us in factions could spawn near our bases . It's kinda annoying to get on the map and as Duty spawn right next to Freedom's base & I assume vice versa. If not bases sorta close to where we reside & such.
I always asked myself how we did SRP without NPCS....I mean, aren't they like what MADE Stalker scary.
yeah, i wouldn't mind some simple npcs in SOME areas, such as zombies

I lold epicly.
and plus, a new guy came into the server today and said "where are the npcs?". im not saying a trillion npcs to crash the server, but a few would be nice. im sure people would cut down on some props to make room for npcs if it was needed. and i mean if you think people will just kill and abuse, then make them really powerful (which i perfer either way) then actually hunting for npcs could turn into a weapon hunt becuase someone just died from a bloodsucker and he may have gear. which means we should have a search corpse type of thing you know?
Who cares. Just play on the server and be (semi)happy. Don't bitch about Rohok owning the servers, and Impure turned out to be a traitor from the start.
I am going to bed now.
Deleted a load of drama posts.
If you want to carry on this "discussion", then do so in PMs. Do not clutter up public forums with your unpleasant ramblings.
Thank you.

Of course I'm censoring your posts. What do you expect? You fill them with cuss words, and obscenities, and all you're doing is flaming, Cobra. For the last time, I'm going to ask you nicely: Please stop.
Im going to set the OOC Delay to 20, it's a pain in the ass for it to be 30, and i find myself losing the point to type over ooc, so i use admin chat, 20 seems about right... you cannot spam, or rage over it, and it's not too long to get a detailed, important message across.
Suggestions:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. NPCs in certain areas to minimalize impacts of mingery and UN-RP like Deaths
Anomalies set up in places in the woods and not on the roads... Maybe from an ECO accident or something.
Ladders maybe? You can spawn them to make it more RP and not just use a prop for it.
Stacker Stool (Makes the job more efficient other than duplicating and welding)
Sounds more realistic (They do not spread throughout the map and everyone hears them, There is an actual hearing distance of it. Plus to minimize mingery, sounds cannot be played repeatedly but over a certain amount of time.)
More hand functions (Examine, etc...)
Thats about it until i can think of more... :\
Fluffy, too many anomalies lag the server.
NPCs in certain areas is a good idea.
Realistic sounds is a good idea, but there's more important things than that. Try fixing the weapon sounds first.
More hand functions? There's more important issues ATM. IE: Missing sounds, glitched out admin request command.
Soon as that admin request command is fixed, we can concentrate on new things. I honestly believe that should be our priority. Of course, Silver doesn't agree. I suppose it's not that important to allow for players to contact admins directly than flood OOC with complaints.
FIX THE FUCKING INVENTORY BUG/!SAVE COMMAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What dom said and new map and of course npcs is what I think the server needs most.
Well i didn't mean too many anomalies... I meant like every so often an accident comes in with Ecologists and for a few days there is an Anomalie in a certain area... Then they clean it up.
Yes we do need to fix the Admin Request and the Inv Bug. These were just a few suggestions for sooner or later.
I'm also going to start working on a new map for Stalker RP
Please take away restricted TT, if we have TT then you should trust us enough with all the tools. I was setting up a few props for a future mission (deployment should be some time tonight) and instead of simply using the needed tools I have to use other tools that make things look obvious and stupid.
Yeahhhh-- no. That's not an option. There are tools we don't want people using.
Iv not read any of the Above post... I really cant be arsed;
Im loosing interest in STALKERP...
Its constant crashing, half the people dont know how to RP, you got admins that are minges.
When there is RP its normaly very poor.
Look to the point.
I'm just generally pissed off with it, its boring. I mean I dont know. Its hard to explain. STALKERRP has lost its.... X-Factor.
There needs to be more drama in the RP. More romance. More loss, more betrayal, more love, more hate. All I see is bland, shallow characters will no real depth or backstory. The only depth I've seen was with Konstantin and Rohok, and their sort of forbidden friendship, and Tyler Jackson's conflict with his IC brother, and Shannon's relationship with a bandit.
I think if we get more people to put some real nice depth to their RP, things will improve. People don't seem to make stories, they just get on and do robotic tasks.

I think you hit the nail on the head Rohok.
The problem is, it's a lot easier to just roleplay an apathetic character.
That, and when you note everyone is being to pessimistic and apathetic in the server, you just get told to shut up and stop whining.
It's not hard to justify roleplaying a bland character either, seeing as ShoC didn't have a lot in the way of emotional characters.
If you start getting too deep into your own characters storyline, you stop paying as much attention to other people's, and that doesn't help anyone.
On that note, that's one of the only problems with HL2RP, none of the small communities grow quickly because everyone is so involved in what they're doing, they never do anything for every player in the server.
The polar opposite can be said about StalkerRP, as the series its based off "requires" factions, so you have a step in the right direction, with constant events, whether they be firefights, mutant attacks, whatever.
We need a new map... it's taking the piss.. people spend hours building ugly bases which lag and kill the server.. we need a new map... so goddam bad,,,,
It'll get done when it gets done.
Which might be never, as I haven't actually started yet.

The only depth I've seen was with Konstantin and Rohok, and their sort of forbidden friendship, and Tyler Jackson's conflict with his IC brother, and Shannon's relationship with a bandit.
I think if we get more people to put some real nice depth to their RP, things will improve. People don't seem to make stories, they just get on and do robotic tasks.
And this all starts to happen after the revokation of Monolith...
I'm starting to regret my descision, as little to no good has come of it, and I'm still waiting for that Opening in Military, which I sorely doubt.
Time for another Long-Lost Ecologist to make his way back through the Zone, and stirr something up.
I think I like what Raidenator is saying, too. But we need a balance between the two. We need people developing their characters, making mini-events with their friends to progress their story (Tyler Jackson, Rencamo) has been doing this with his whole bandit brother drama. Someone is probably going to die, but that only makes the story greater. You see, Jackson is really progressing his character. I think I've seen only (Seen. It means that's it all I've seen, and not what really goes on. I don't see everything.) him make a real effort to dive into his backstory, and bring up his history and share it with other people. You see, you don't always just focus on your own character and isolate yourself. You NEED other people to progress.
Now, another thing people have been telling me to do is PKs. I really, really, really, hate PKs as I was PK'ed 7 times on TnB on the same character, and managed to get out of it each time (legitly), and it was because I really loved the character I was using, and people were just PKing me for the reason: YOU'RE A ROGUE CP. I wanted to keep RP'ing my character, and my definition of RP doesn't include forcing other people into crap.. I don't believe in making people follow a rule that I myself won't follow, but if enough people want them, we'll do them. Just lemme know your thoughts on the matter, and I'll see what I can do about. If the people want PKs, we'll have PKs, with some real comprehensive rules and requirements for the PKs including an SA having to be there to watch. We'll see, lemme know your thoughts on PKs.
My arguments for/against PKs:
For:
Creates IC drama/emotion
Stops people acting so badass and unstoppable
Stops people from doing shit that would get them killed (Makes people think out their issues, and find other ways around them that won't get themselves kills in the end)
Against:
Creates OOC drama
-----
If we did PKs, it would still require an authorization from two SA's, and one SA would need to be present during the PK. Right now, the way it works is that the player in question (the one that someone wants to PK) has to be causing a lot of BS with DMing, and the works. Pissing off other characters too much, or too many factions. Kind of like what happened to Vityaz and Connor, when we PK'ed them for becoming enemies with EVERY faction.

I plan on trying to make Rugger more in depth, She's been too much of an enigma for too long. I'm considering pk'ing her as well. If I /DO/ Pk her it'll be soon. But we need more IC drama IMO just more things to make the story of it fun.
There's no reason to PK Rugger. <.<
Quote from: Rohok There's no reason to PK Rugger. <.<
She's a nut. She's bordering sane >.> Hell She'd rip out your heart to drink your blood. You just say that cause you want her~ <.<
AWWWE, look at the couple.
Consider this Rohok; If killed legitimatley by a Anomaly, that's it, your PK'd, make a new char and make a new life.
Would stop people fucking about soo much. And give me a reason not to attempt to omnomnom the Anomanoms.
Also: Consider taking Tk's more into aspect, so say you were in a typical Freedum vs DUTY, you die from gunfir ein the Conflict, your TK'd for say.. A day?
And Faction Leaders would be TK'd for a Week.
Yeah, I can see that. But I don't think people should die that quickly. Especially since anomalies are easier to avoid in the actual game, than in the gamemode. In fact, they're really shitty in the gamemode.
The damage anomalies are easy as hell to see and avoid. At least for me they are. I don't think anomalies should kill anyone. Legitimate RP'ed kills with authorizations and observations should be the only things that can PK others. Also, since there's always two SA's around somewhere (Except maybe after 12:00 AM Mountain time), it would be easy to get auths for things. And PKs could be appealed, and screenshots must be taken. If something wasn't RP'ed to our standards, the PK would be automatically appealed upon review. Though, we'd have to badger Silver about making us a PK appeal forum, and you know how hard that is to get from him. -.-
Anyway, a good example of a PK slash me after a long time of RP:
./me puts the barrel of his P99 to the STALKER's head and mutters a quiet prayer before squeezing the trigger; Sending a lead, 9mm bullet out of the chamber, through the barrel, and into the STALKER's soft brain.
----
Now also, I don't like the idea of anything really happening to Faction Leaders like that. They need to be able to lead our factions, and get things done both IC and OOC. This was something the folks on Ventrilo suggested: Faction leaders shouldn't be PKed/TKed/PIed unless the faction leader himself agrees to it.
Although, the TKs for dying in combat sounds nice. Maybe they are restricted from logging onto their characters for a few hours? I like that idea, and I might force that upon my faction regardless of what's decided about PKs. I want my guys to start using cover more often, and stop running a gunning. Maybe if they were actually AFRAID of the bullets, battles would play out more realistically, and maybe I would stop leading my men in death charges. Considering, of course, if they all die, I won't have any minions to command for a couple hours. Hehe.
_________________________________________________Edit: 09-03-2009_________________________________________________
Also, I've decided to fight in less battles. I think it would be better if I could hover in observe, give orders to my men, and make sure everybody Role Plays, or at least plays by the rules. I would suggest the other faction leaders to do this as well. The occasional fighting alongside your men is okay, but doing it all the time would create complications. If you're able to observe the battlefield while the battle takes place, you can make sure the RP'ers in your faction are playing like they should:
Using cover.
Stopping and shooting.
Fearing bullets.
I honestly want to be able to see if my guys break the rules, so I can ban their asses. I hate it when I see people run around trees and spray about 50 bullets into the enemy. Firefights would go much better if people stayed in cover, and blind fired more. Laid down suppressing fire... Covered each other... Using stealth and the element of surprise to take down a foe... God it would be beautiful to see. I might require all my men to watch more war movies, LOL. Like Black Hawk Down. Good example to watch. =P That's how I want to see my guys behaving. How fucking sweet would that be?
Duty , Mili & Freedom should have training , drills & war games in faction. You don't do what we do in the real world. You need to stay sharp & hone your skills.
So basically your saying "If you dont believe in my religion, im gonna kick your ass!" >.>
Me? I'm saying we don't stand around all day and than go blitz a base.
Yeah, I need to write up some guides for Duty, detailing out tactical exercises and things. I gotta show them how to fight. Without guides, trainings would be chaotic.
Quote from: Rohok Yeah, I need to write up some guides for Duty, detailing out tactical exercises and things. I gotta show them how to fight. Without guides, trainings would be chaotic.
I'lll get Mil into the same shape once I takeover, if i ever do, until then, I'll just be a typical Legendary STALKER wandering around. Joining in whereever possible.
Ive just taken the role of recruitment officer in military, don't worry about training. MattyK talk to me with stuff about training so we can get all that settled, as well as anything else. I have lots of ideas.
It's all about a balance of Passive and Non- Passive Roleplay
Alot of new players rely on non - Passive Roleplay, and require fancy huds, sounds and special effects to get them in the mood.
It's pretty sad that you guys still haven't fixed your radios. I'll post a snippet from my script later for you, it's a radio item in witch you can set a frequency consisting of both numerals and letters, or just one or the other. Probably tomorrow morning/afternoon.
EDIT:
Don't bash me if someone has already fixed the radio thing. I'm heading off in a few minutes, and I don't feel like reading 5 pages of complaints and suggestions.
Radios are fixed, only the faction can hear the radio chat from there faction.
Duty can only hear Duty
Freedom can only hear Freedom
Loner can only hear Loner
(I'm sure it can be improved it your code, :3)

If you can get them working like the ones on the HL2 server that would be great.
I'll post the code if you finish the radios, I'm updating in animations in my script, right now when you fire a weapon it's the whole "duck and fire" thing currently in lemonade script.
Get NPC's like other RP servers do. They help a lot and they have this flashing talk icon above their head. Press E and it shows options like "Hey, what are you selling?" or "No, im fine, I dont need this yet."
It shouldn't lag at all.

I agree with Sickness. NPCs would be awesome, and helpful.
Something that would'a been awesome too, was to make a scripts that allows you to loot corpses, and not just containers.
EDIT:
Oh, and yeah.. hungermod would be great too.
I think hunger mod would be a waste. On a TSRP server I play on they have it and all it does is ruin RP. Nothing is more irritating when you're in a long RP and the person you're RPing with either
A). Drops dead from hunger
or
B). Has to leave, get food, eat, come back
The gain is minimal to nonexistant. Maybe have some food items that you could use when sitting around a camp fire or something but do not make eating mandatory.
I don't know how you would do it with LUA, but I know how to help get it started.
In our maps (Hostel and I) we could put trigger_hurts in certain areas that hurt everything besides a filter.
filter_name with a filter like "antiradsuit", and then apply the filter to the trigger_hurt.
Should be relatively easy on your end in LUA to make players not affected by it with those specifics.
something to make the noobs feel special xD
Not sure if this is added but to my knowledge it is not but add random anomaly's that spawn across the map that could fetch some RU's make them like 3-4 of them spawn within an hour all over the map.
Also a help menu with all the rp commands you might need to know cause the differ from other servers.
Random artifact spawning would be nice, it would give people some form of making money if no one is currently offering jobs.
Here's an idea for traders.
A thread that all the traders would make, listing all availiable missions. The simpler missions that only require one person or two people to do can be repeatable to a certain amount of times, and the more complicated missions would either be less repeatable, or not possible to do again.
Each mission could follow this template:
Mission name:
Mission creator:
Description:
Max hired:
Reward:
Mission can be carried out: () time(s)
There can be the optional thing where traders can make missions exclusive to only himself, but that should be for long and complicated missions only.
This thread will make traders have more time on their hands, since there will be an extensive list of missions for people to do. Not only that, but this allows people to easily decide what missions they wanna do, other than just wait for a mission to eventually come up.
The only requirement is that a trader needs to be around to hire the mission-goers, and be around to pay them if they finished the job.

I think this sounds like a good idea but how would the thread be able to work ingame? (I don't mean the thread actually being in the game) I mean...
1. The trader would have to be on the server at the time for the mission to work.
2.If the trader is offline then how do they know if people coming up to them saying they have done that particular mission are telling the truth without any solid proof?
3.If the missions can only be carried out a set number of times for one person then how would you record who has done what mission so many times without getting confused? and what about group efforts? people who want to do missions in a group? if someone can only do a mission once then they won't want to do it again with others.
and 4. If missions like spying/intelligence gathering/hunting/wars/collections are to work then a trader needs permission from factions involved for conflictand spying and intelligence gathering missions e.g. Mission:Learn about the AU's relationships with other factions/Take down two specific duty recruits/etc/etc and there would need to be preperatiton for hunting and collection missions.
Such a thread already exists o.o
So basicly like a mission set up thread.
...Which exists
Get rid of the Bad RPers.
Quote from: Ness Tea Get rid of the Bad RPers.
That suggestion doesn't really work without a list now does it, Ness Tea? (Nastie)
We've got sitting, how about sleeping?
1. More animations.
2. Lower ping , for me standart ping is 187-227 (140 sometimes) . I guess server is far away from me.
3. Get more Europeans.
4. Server more active.
5. Less elitism from factions as i see how sometimes they act like gods.
6. Stop this NLR breaking , yesterday i saw like 4 newbies running back after they died just to get guns and money (Won't post the names)
7. More /me's and RP? People are really low on /me's .
8. More RPing as human? I mean like people act there like they are cold killers or damn physically changed humans who can survive everything.
-Easier access to low-grade weapons. I mean, every mission the Eco's give look pretty kamikaze if you don't possess a weapon, and with all these bandits creeping around your money, lack of traders, it makes it hard to get even just a Makarov.
So, either easier that, or more traders, I really don't see them on often.

Its a good thing there are less guns floating around, i'm working on a decent trader app so i should be around soon hopefully.
Oh, not too many guns around is quite fine in my opinion, but in my opinion, knives or Makarov's (especially knives) should be QUITE easy to get.. and how come a knife is costier than a Makarov?

Ammo Items, Maybe even special ammo, like AP bullets.
Ability to change frequency on radio.
Better PDA gui layout.
Better Anomaly effect, the effect we have atm is seen through walls, and it's almost impossible to notice when it slowly comes back to full view.
Forced skin over-ride zombie NPCs to be different monsters.
EX. Fast Zombie over-ridden by the big dog thing, i think it's called Flesh.
Normal Zombie over-ridden by mutants.
Zombine over-ridden by blood suckers. [considering the Zombine NPC can limp run. looks very nice.]
Cargo Cache SENT. Able to have some sort of code for props such as chests, pipes, bags, etc. To become a storage deposit.
Admin Done:
Laid artifacts around places, maybe a very nicely placed artifact surrounded by anomalies.
ARENA styled Roleplay. Like how it was in the Duty camp. Kill the other enemy for money, depending on skill and etc.
Some incentive for people to play as Loners would be nice. It's almost impossible to be a Loner the way things are without either
1. Donating to get the Vet flag and therefore spawn with guns
or
2. Minging the fuck out of people to steal their equipment.
More traders for missions/easier gear purchasing would probably fix this problem, which I realize isn't really a development thing.
EDIT: Please fix the inventory bug. I've lost so many fucking suits from it (yes I drop the suit, use it from the ground, then pick it up in my inventory, but that never seems to work).

There should be a menu to choose vehicles to buy, instead of need to spawn it.
Quote from: Caylob There should be a menu to choose vehicles to buy, instead of need to spawn it.
That would be a cool thing to have for trader or maybe just for factions.
I think I said this before but...
Experiment table/desktop for Ecos. Collect artifacts, plonk one on the table, activate that table, choose to inspect or research. Inspect tells you what the artifact is, what effects it causes are etc. Research allows you to create performance drugs, special weapons for eco only or armor/suit upgrades from artifacts.
Gives a little extra something for the ecos to do with the artifacts.
Quote from: Caylob There should be a menu to choose vehicles to buy, instead of need to spawn it.
That's a ok idea, but im not really sure how to register that the helicoptor crashed and/or how to respawn it/ store it so the player can respawn it.

Invintory? Like for example if you buy it... it will stay there perm and if it will IC aka RPly Crash then player have to remove it or admin will remove it.
Easier..... just Adv Dupe it and save it to private folder?
So many admins and players dont follow the Shot to miss rule :( they just fire their a** FN2000's at you from 300 feet away trough the fog and dude... There should be a more very strict rule for combat in SRP :((((
can we get a Drag system that lets you drag other players around I.E
Military raids a town and a soldier gets injured another soldier comes up and drags him to safety
I don't know if this is possible it would be bad ass if there were things like that or something that allowed you to walk with someone helping them walk. Walking and occasionly pressing shift to simulate limping or something
Make more melee weapons , maybe a shovel , machete , Baseball bat , Axe
And then make them priced somewhat low for newbies.
Random Spawning Stashes! We got the thing where you can search some props. well make it like that and it spawns a box with any random item in it.
Some Mutant NPC's like those Boar things or something like that , it wouldnt be hard to make a Snork either , just skin a Fast zombie
Get a Zombie NPC , they have all the movements of combine but have different noises and Model
Be able to actually drop money , just make a prop that looks like a small bag , and then if its over 20,000 Ru make it a big sack , anywhere over 60,000 Ru use a Suitcase. This could also make it so when people are killed you can loot some of there Ru , And also remove the Giving Ru part , make it so its like a balance system in your Inventory.
More guns! It would cool to have a bigger variety of guns.
An Hunger mod system , Instead of when its low it just slows you down and makes you move slower and slower gradually over time after being starving. and make the Percentage go down slowly like only 1% per 40 Seconds.
If you dont want the Hunger mod system then make foods do things more than heal you , say you drink coffee , it makes you fast , Maybe like candy would make your gun rate faster.
Have trainable ability's, run a long time then your endurance level goes up , taken a certain ammount of damage then your health goes up , use your knife often? your strength goes up , use sights often? you accuracy goes up , reload often? your reload time goes up. Allow them to use up 40 talent points at the creation of there character.
Change the Anomaly look , and instead of it hurting you when you get near it make your rads go up , the more the rads the faster your health goes down , sorta like in the game. wed also need a Rad meter and anti radiation drugs.
Thats about all i have...
More armor variations, perhaps simply model hacking using exist textures for the current models to keep file size smaller.
Addition of a stamina meter, so people sprint to get away from things and not to get around.
Addition of hot zones that would actually increase a "radiation bar" that could cause distortion effects (blurred vision, painfully sharp contrast, wobbly camera while moving) and maxing the bar would result in death.
Some way to make ammo necessary, so that people don't just spend the ammo, drop it back in their inventory, and pull it back out or get off and get back on later with a nice little ammo niche magically back in their pockets.
More anomalies, the sector where you spawn in is generally populated, however you get outside that zone and they drop off sharply. If feels like your heading out of the zone rather than deeper in when you go outside the spawning sector.
Admin created "raids" where players could check out a area populated with large amounts of anomalies/NPCs and find rubbles, ammo, artifacts, and occasional weapons
Randomly spawning low grade/cheap artifacts (Such as blood stones)
Melee weapons just don't agree with Source games.
Slow moving vehicles, that you could find abandoned or buy from somewhere. Knife fix for bloodsucker (looks a bit random). Some premade stuff like camps and fires ect that you don't need TT to spawn so more people can set up camp in the wilderness. A damage bar so like if you jump off a frigging building to escape you don't just loose 10 hp and run off, but that you can only walk really slowly until you use a medpack or die. Someone jumped off a building after pissing off me and ran off, I had to shoot him and put his body at the bottom of the building to stop the fabric of roleplay time and space breaking and causing tones of build players to leak into the server and gmod permanently crashing...
Lol. Nice words, though.

No vehicles other than the heli, the terrain is not built for Cars. Knife Penis bug is on my agender, thanks for reminding me, Worked on something like that along time ago, didn't work out well, damage bar already appears if you get hurt, and theres a setting in gmod to allow that, but garry broke it...

The problem with the hunger mod is that fact that Traders aren't usually on to get you what you need.
Plus, some people (like me) don't have enough money to keep buying food and every job i get

Oh and for another map we could use, gm_atomic. its basicly a giant wasteland but it has no anomyles. but its still a great map

That has nothing to do with S.T.A.L.K.E.R rp, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is based in ukraine, that is the usa in the year 20XX
Actually fallout is in the 1960's
Really? Didn't know that.
W/E
Deet like in other posts mutli factions is just asking for really bad metagaming from many player, unexperianced or not. Being in both means your gonna get information from one factions, and change to the other and prep against any actions the enemy faction is going to take. Many people wont even realise they are doing it till the damage is done.
How to improve the Stalker experience.
Well, the S.t.a.l.k.e.r. games are famous for their atmosphere.
The camp fires are awesome, everyone knows it; just a couple of guys sharing stories, talking and playing the guitar. It's such an unexpected situation in a post-apocalyptic scenario.
I'm suggesting that we add an entity with a guitar model. When you press 'E' on it, it begins to play music from Stalker (It's available for download on youtube. Stalker Guitar Songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LQ0Cl3wBa0#lq-lq2-hq))

The guitar sound is already in the pack, but making that work is near dam impossible, and has been suggested many time.
yep

About Camp fire. I've send SK a perfect fire which would auto ignite when someone is close to it and extinguish if nobody is around like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R but SK was soo evil and didn't even check that message ='(
If in game we could have a little help menu to tell us commands. Because I only know the OOC chat one.

Maybe something we can cook up, besides it's not very scary to wonder around with nightvision, flashlights are great !
Is it possible currently to use a flashlight and hold a pistol in the other hand? If not it should be something to consider, it would make pistols a lot more useful.
I was thinking that nightvision would be expensive if made into an entity, or just built-in for high ranking flags.
For guitar, it's easy. Find the guitar model, do the code taht puts it on your body.
Then, do all the normal crap, but make infinite ammo (-1)
On SWEP.PrimaryFire, do the Math shit that makes it play a random sound.
Like... (Not sure about the syntax below, but it's close.)
SWEP.PrimaryFire
get.math()random
[1]emit.sound ( "<filepath>" )
(Continue for all the guitar sounds.)
Or, for just one song, do
SWEP.PrimaryFire
emit.sound ( "<filepath>" )
end
AND THERE YOU GO
If you know how to do it then why just not do it.

Because i dont have the sounds, dummy.
I would like to see a slight increase in Bloodsucker running speed, although with the new stat system coming I guess suckers could all have high agility to keep them running longer. It is very annoying to sneak up on someone, have them see your player name as they look at you while cloaked, and then bolt when you try to /me or whatever. I've had to chase some people for a good 3-5 minutes just around in circles on my sucker, looking ridiculous and also being obnoxious. When I go through the trouble of trying to /me and the victim runs because he's the same speed as me it makes me want to shoot someone.. If suckers were just a tad faster so you couldn't just run forever in a straight line away from one they'd probably be scarier. Or maybe if they could attack while running (because currently you can't sprint and attack) it would make them scarier since you couldn't put your back to one without getting pwnt 1 hit.
Yes I realize being a sucker isn't just about killing but if someone isn't going to RP with me with /mes and whatnot then I would like to be able to kill them because that's the kind of person I am lol.
Land Vehicals, and a area in the map for just those vehicals to get from sector to sector.

How often does that happen by the way?
All the time if they run away.
It happens a lot. Many people have seen me chasing loners for minutes at a time because they refuse to RP. After a while I usually just give up and find someone else.
Normally I just wait there, but like a animal if you approach a threatening way I will look around cautiously and "hear" things ICly. I didn't know it happened so often
Maybe locks on the vehicles. I wasn't even near the helicopter but somehow my guy hopped in it. Then I hopped out, i didn't even mean to take it, but after getting out, I was DM'ed and they were trying to justify it by their being military and my taking their vehicle.
That has happened to me, only when the vehical fell over on its side, I tried to fix it and got shot when I got out, I say we need locks on vehicals also.
The ability to put guns straight into your inventory instead of having to drop them and risk some tard stealing them.
We shoot people that steal the chopper course we have to we have no other way of protecting it.. We have warned you guys plenty of times not even to get close to the damned thing but you keep running up to it. So i say locks on the chopper would be a good thing.

More traders.
I've not really been here for very long but in my.. say.. combined two weeks of playing here, I only ever saw a trader once.
And even though Ecos give missions to loners too, it's not often so more traders or more missions given out by Ecos or both would be great to get more Loners on to the RPing scene.
Vehicles that you can use to move around

I like the idea of adding a way to access music in the server. Not like music, but the Guitar songs that I so humbly have come to love and enjoy after hearing them over and over in SoC and CS. I think it adds to the atmosphere.

Vehicles = for trusted and they don't move that fast. It'd be cool to actually have a vehicle instead of physing a prop around.
More vehicles and more guns would be cool.

Remove. Mingebags. :3
Just a thought, but maybe add a poltergeist flag under the mutants section.
Poltergeists are said be souls of Stalkers, they lurk in underground areas, and surfaced deep parts of the Zone.
They range from menacing mischievous fits of laughter to screams of pain, to sobbing.
If we wanted to make this work, we could add echoes and slight distortion in Audacity.
I noticed this, not sure if it's a player model or what, but it intrigued me.

Dont know if this has been suggested before, but i really liked when the admins played background music, im listening to the stalker soc tracks right now actually, and if its on a low, but not too low volume, it brings _alot_ of atmosphere, i meal alot. It would be cool to hear background music.
E: And the guitar swep should be done, i really enjoy sitting around the a campfire on a rainy day, and if someone starts playing guitar, it would light up the atmosphere.
E2: Also, im pissed off that i cant run and jump, makes it _very_ hard to jump to a ladder etc

I remember there was a spawned radio that would play songs and someone playing a gutar...I remember when i was new(Didnt know what stalker was)And just sat there in the town listening to a gutar rping...THat was alot of fun...Wasnt this map though...Good times...Good times.

The radio should be brought back, lots of good times there.
Speaking of radio, when you're near a freestraight or something and they use a radio, and it comes up in chat, (and also assuming you're not a freesmart) I think it would be better if it said *radio* in the chat message, because this can lead to really confusing moments...Otherwise it pops up as if it was a normal message.

Can we get an MOTD system on the server? EG:
Seeing Errors / Pink and black?
*Download links go here.
*Instructions go here.
*Shortened list of rules go here.To make sure people have read the rules, at the bottom it says: 'Press declined if you accept!' in small text.
*I accept these rules. (Pressing this kicks you, with the reason: 'You didn't read the rules'.)
*I decline these rules. (Pressing this closes the MOTD.)
It would certainly cease the influxes of people who complain in Ooc chat about seeing errors / pink and black textures.
Yeah, would help.

Epic support for this, at least there wont be too much minges who get maks and kill every1
I love that idea personally, I havnt seen any mass Dming on the server at the moment, all i've seen is good RP, and plenty of it at that.
People worrying about the Radio, I did notice that in the actual Game you could sometimes hear other radios, Duty and Freedoms though i'm not sure if there broadcasting on a Global frequency or not, but I can understand the problem, half an hour of planning say to only have your enemies automatically know what your going to do.
I'd be annoyed aswell
I was thinking to stop meta-gaming people in your area would have to chat so you can see their titles and such, or perhaps examining them with a command?
Thats similar to the Ships gameplay, its a Murder game, you are told to kill somone, you have to find them and elimenate them, anyway, you have to run up to them and click on them to find out there name.
But still dosnt solve the problem, it'd be hard to do I imagine.
Nah, don't go make some half-broken script that is likely to just break more stuff.
Just tell them to not metagame. And if they do, punch them.
More weapons I think would make it a bit cooler, so that we can have really cheap weapons other than pistols, and really expensive weapons like Sniper Rifles and Machine Guns
Oh yeah can we have the traders give out jobs like in the game so that newbies like me cna earn some money to buy stuff? Or jobs for items?
http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/index.php?topic=3267.0 (http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/index.php?topic=3267.0)
Don't we have enough?
There are plently of weapons, and when traders are on there are missions.
Well ok if you guys think so, I won't argue, though we do seem rather low on the shotgun depot
Also is there any way to get a PDA map? Would seriously help out with the finding of the different areas for the newbies
Make weapons break after having shot three clips so they have to see a trader, and implent it when the Weight System is implented so we can make Secret Stashes in container props such as the small file cabinet and get Rookie's armed against those bandits but still don't have the weapon for unlimited amount of time, and only Trader's can repair the weapon or you have to buy an expensive Flash Drive that contains information about how to fix weaponry and gives you the ability to repair weapons with the item weapon components that is bought of traders!
Edit: Altough Wazer Wifle told me a fact which is true and I didn't think of in the first place that Kalashnikov's don't break very fast.. So it's kind of a stupid suggestion because almost everyone in the zone uses a Kalashnikov...
3 clips until breakage? Nah, How about 15.
Quote from: Wazer Wifle on 04-09-2009
3 clips until breakage? Nah, How about 15.
My reason for the three clips means people will pipe down on the Shoot on Sight on Bloodsuckers, or other factions and will roleplay shootings instead of STK on Sight by emtying clips onto the rock they are behind, perhaps more clips until it breaks since some people roleplaying covering fire, like me by shooting at a door to prevent them from opening it. But still, what's your opinion about the rest of the suggesiton, Wazer?
People should be able to RP what they want. I do not really like the idea of restricting more of the roleplay.
Quote from: Assassinator1097 on 04-09-2009

I totally agree with you assassinator1097, but this does add a Stalker Feel because ofcourse the zone taints your weapons and such + it brings more roleplay possibilities. So it's just a suggestion I don't mind if it's taken into consideration or not.
3 magazines is way too little.
I have put tons off ammo through my 60+ year old garand and it's never, never jammed once, except for human error with the loading. So I don't think that 3 clips would work well at all
I do not support the "X clips until break" suggest
Oh yeah, can we put a list of script commands in the menu thingy that you have to hit f2 for? That and a list of pricing? Cause I'd think a stalker would know "roughly" how much a certain weapon is, would he not? It's kind of like on the Paradox RP server, where you dont start off with a flashlight which I personally find is retarded, all things considered, since I bring a flashlight with me when I go CAMPING, let alone to go live in a place like the zone

1.) Use your own memory, after a small while you will be able to remember the costs of most of the weapons in SRP.
2.) I don't think SK will ever remove the flash light swep, even though it's useless and never used.
Here's my suggestion: Dramatically reduce the amount of time taken for paychecks, I've heard it's 60 minutes! And for what, 200, 300, 400 RU? That can barely buy anyone anything, especially since the trader prices have been raised by a third.
Originally it was around 3 minutes, why not make it something like 8 minutes? It's not too fast, nor too slow.
I know this is "SilverKnight's idea on how to get people to do stuff" (Quoted from an SRP player) but, it won't work, really it won't.
i agree with cobra
Hmmm, a little less shooing of loners.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before. But the game seems to be pushing away Loners.
Right now, I'm a Loner because Freedom, Duty, Military, Bandits and Eco is not for me. I'd be perfectly happy with being a loner but I end up working for hours, sometimes over the course of a few weeks to save up enough money to buy a decent weapon, eventually a suit.
The problem is, the inventory system is extremely unstable. I end up logging in and losing items, I die and lose items, I die and lose items that were in my inventory, items being stuck on my body, impossible to remove, I crash and lose items, I lose items constantly.
Which puts me back at square one - Work my ass off to earn enough money and buy a new one to lose, rinse, repeat.
There is a no remberishment policy with the admins and traders. Even so some have helped me out, either by giving me new weapons or refunding what I lost, or money.
Even so, the way this is going makes it impossible for me to move up in the world as a loner. I'm trying to run a Loner-run security firm to protect Traders and Eco's, it's been doing well but I can't do it very well without weapons, even if I never use them.
I'm not sure what can be done to fix this. Am I intended to be forced into a faction due to this? I don't want to buy Exp Stalker or Merc or anything, too expensive for a virtual title and virtual benifits.
These glitches are starting to turn me off and discourage me Roleplaying, I'm afraid of ever leaving the bar and losing valuable items.
So, that's my two cents. Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry to hear it Words, but it happens to everyone here, and it's Garry's fault, that's why I've started a "PUNCH GARRY IN THE FACE" fund.
Everyone pays me 5 USD / 5 GBP, and I'll go over to Garry's apartment, and punch in THE FACE.
Back on track. The only way to avoid this is not to die, keep items under an amount of 6, and keep those items untouched in your inventory for a long time for them to save.
No way to avoid it / fix it on this current version in the script.
Hopefully my request for a Merc Flag for my Private Military Contractor/Security group will pass and I can use it to fund the rest of my men, whom are also loners.

this server would be great it people would just start Rp instead of Dming all the time you also need to fix that world spawn thingy it gets really annoying
Can you add a delete character function its annoying to have a over stuffed character lists full of world spawn bugs thanks for reading
Id like more anomalies (Or how you spell it), more placed artifacts, Bolt Swep for Hidden Anomalies.
I would like to see a 'gallows' implemented, So we could Rp killing. Instead of Dming. Which means the gallowee also has a chance to escape.

Local Voice, so you can RP using your own voice, but people that are across the map can't hear you.
And refunds! FFS! It gets irritating when you get stuff, just to be killed by a dmer, or crashed, and loose all your stuff! Also that inventory bug is annoying too.

/me is sick :(
Epic, if you want VOIP, go look at PERP, it's a fail roleplay, I have 13 year old cops on the mic yelling to pull over, it takes away from RP. The majority of our members are young and most don't have mics.

Don't know how many you guys have but uploading key phrases form the game works.
i.e Bandits Mugging Some one would put in chat and play locally in audio:
Grab your shooter and i'll blow your head off.
like a gesture for anyone who's played SecondLife(fail)
Well it would be nice if anomalies could get some shape. At last we can see them. I'm running happy snappy like "M gonna catch few artifacts" and BAM. I'm dead. It sometimes annoys people, but at last you must watch your step. It would be however nice if you guys made anomalie partially visible. Giving them some invisible like blur or something.
They have an invisible blur atm, and if you have shaders on you can see them through walls. (it looks like something is sucking whatever texture it's behind/infront of into one spot)
1) More bad guys.
2) Guitar sweps you can buy, play, and choose which song you play.
3) Using sounds files from the game or something.

3) Using sounds files from the game or something.
Already have it, i'de suggest using the SEARCH BUTTON for rp_voice but there is none
4) Make the ability to move your head in sit mode.
Agreed, although you should only be able to move it a few degrees , i.e not 360 like normal chairs
5) A night time version of the map or one that cycles (I.E. City45 v2).
check the developement section, it's already been confirmed. Things just dont happen over night
6) Heli flyin around like the game :D
The area everyone is, is tightly condenced with alot of factions so, military choppers there would be bait, might be cool if the Military could call them in though.
Refunds, refunds and more refunds for items munched by the inventory.
Inventory is such a muncher.
Refunds? Why not just fix the problem? No lost weapons or anythign would be really nice. Such as if you have a weapon in your weapon slots and if you log or crash, you lose it. :(
...You seriously think they aren't working on a fix and are just going to continue to let the inventory rape players? Wow. :facepalm:
They are working on fixing the inventory. That will take time. In the mean time, take screenshots of your inventory and most admins will refund you.
Most admins, that are rarely seen. And some who could, don't. Not telling any names, but the ones who don't help us in our hour of need will feel a stitch in their heart.
A way I think you guys can improve on not me specifically but newbies is if possible, to implement some kind of "mentor" system. Now I have been RPing on Gmod for a while, so I know whats what in terms of /me's all that jazz, but for the completly new people its different.
Like maybe make a list of people that have proven themselves to be nice, and decent RPers, and some how make it so when a person that has never logged on to the server before is automatically reccomended to find sed person and ask any questions, concers, comments or whatever. I started a few days ago, and I suppose it was just a lucky break that I happened to run into a guy that was willing to teach me.
thanks

A While ago I suggested that a roleplaying guide was created / found and placed into the 'HELP' menu of the F1 section.
Oh and, Silver please add download links into that HELP section, it just tells you to ask for someone ....

I think we should add a weapon Upgrade System to enlarge clip sizes and damage. Traders could charge people for weapon upgrades!And turn our weapons into awesome killing machines ;D
Implement an actual economy.
How? Simple scripting.
In order for one to get money, this person need to either provide services (like what most STALKER's do) or sell something (such as artifacts). Now, in the server for your average player who joins, both of these are opportunities are extremely difficult to obtain. Not because they aren't presented, just that it's too far and few between to consistantly make some sort of profit or substainable existance. Being a "Rookie Loner" is a near worthless experience here because most of the roleplay that is created is within factions.
And factions tend to privatize things.
So what does one do?
Well, in the actual games, you'd go forage for objects or do missions. So why not make some sort of "automated" system that takes what really limits opportunities, which are people, out of the picture and lets loners make some sort of exisitance. I'm saying create this... system where it has a set quota of artifacts.. let us say fifteen, just for referance, that have thirty points, perhaps even more, where they can spawn (just to keep things interesting) and a random variable to what they can be (though most likely the majority would be low end). It would replenish the quota of items every... hour or two, thus providing an influx of items for the general populace a.k.a. loners to thrive on.
But how would they make money? Well, that'd be up to whether they'd want to sell it to the "outside market" directly or to a trader. Selling it "directly" via menu (one with unlimited resources) would get them a heavily reduced fraction of what selling it to an actual player might (say 40%-50% difference), therefore encouraging people to interact with traders, but not making it necessary since even traders log-off the net.
In this, you'd accomplish a system, although rudimentary, that constantly provides the opportunity for profit for the average loner who is generally stuck with nothing to do until some other player feels the need to generate roleplay (which, should I remind you, is not constant). Think of the GMS gamemode, and how you can gather mundane items by collecting them from around you. This basic instance is one of the fundemental building blocks of society and necessary for any form of sophisticated government.
Taking raw materials and turning them into a sort of profit is what built the world as we know today, and still keeps it in existance. Now, we don't really have to go to the extremes of a system like that, but take it into consideration; basic exchanges of goods is the foundation of an economy itself. Only after realising this will you then start to see the picture of how important this influx of currency is.
People argue that this isn't necessary, because these said goods can be roleplayed and so can this influx of currency.
If that is so, then why have the systems put in place at all? Why even have a credit system, or more importantly, a script in the first place? This idea of an automated system is half finished with the current scripts out there, just a little more work would set this idea in place and take a bit of work off the administrators who have to go out and put cash in the traders' hands and put items out there for loners to profit, and do what they should be doing, administrating the roleplay.
Thank you for reading this.
Inactive factions should become active again.
As in if the current leaders aren't willing to do their job then get someone else to do it.
No I'm not giving any names.

Don't blame admins for you not having proof. Fucking get screens the second you get something valuable in your inventory.

If you get the red "Auto Disconnect" text when the server crashes and you have something equipped, you can scroll through that and take a screen of it in your inventory.
And yes it is an imperfect system, but there's just no way the admins can refund everything on faith alone. I have had players try to lie to me.

What a stupid way of thinking. You shouldn't tell people to get proof when they shouldn't have to. What a ridiculous comment that is. Why should people have to even WORRY ABOUT IT.

It's not that hard. The hard part is finding an admin who will do them. I refund with pictoral proof because frankly if you spend enough time putting together a decent photoshop that I don't catch then you've probably earned it.

I would actually like to see choppers used by non-Military. The Scientists have used them, the ecologists have likely, and so has Duty. Freedom may be able to steal a chopper or somehow use the magic powers of weed to fix one up.
I also would want to see land transport in SRP. Anything from stalkers riding motorcycles to a merc group driving an APC is what I'm shooting for.
I don't care if it's "breaking canon" because the people who use canon to prevent anyone from using a chopper or a car is hypprocritical themselves, breaking canon by rejecting and ICly hating on Duty, etc. Another thing, following canon has its own cons that we should realize. Military having two choppers is too huge a luxury for only one faction to have.
The thing is that if Military doesn't authorize the helicopter they'll most likely shoot it down with flak or something good against air.
Using helicopters in the zone is in itself retarded since Monolith shoots them down anyway.
I Could imagine the Freedom Engineer.... *Spots the Wooden Wagon* ...... *Smokes some Weed*..... *Spots an assault chopper*

Inventing a way to allow a person from far away to see your /me's. That would eliminate people having to say they're /me's over OOC or an advert or such.
Example... /me and the other freedomers wave towards duty from the hill.

Might be said over ooc if the Freedom squad and a Duty person standing outside meet eye contact or are staring at each other. I'm not quite sure if thats at all possible though, so feel free to completely ignore this.

Depends how difficult it is to have anomalies spawn without admins? Since Artifacts seem to be only closest thing to a passive economy. Other than that relying on the traders to provide jobs is very unlikely.
Or perhaps provide salvaging. Since finding an Occasional Radio does bring in a steady cash flow. Hell even finding a piece of bread does something..lol..
I want that melee,pistols and some rifles would actually save.

I agree on a counter weapon to the Military hele. God right now nothing can really take one down, and if you try the pilot just negates any attempts because his hele is 'uber awsome bullet-proof!'. But gawd I could see the minging taking place with a working RPG >_> "Hey bandits!" "huh?" *SHWOOMBOOM*

This really should be fixed, this and the fact that it is hard to make money make it quite difficult to get started.
ya we should fix the guns. Anouther cool idea would be to have a Central "Mercenary" faction. Cause I have heard storys of were a faction hires some mercs to help them fight another faction and then suddenly, The opposing faction "Knows" the merc somehow and end up messaging him somehow saying "Lolz you fight 4 us we pay you moar!" and then the merc turns around and shoots at their first employers. Plus too in the game STALKER I cant say that i remeber seeing like 20 mercenary groups with at least 5 "Mercs" in each one. Implementing the "Merc" faction as a Minor faction would have many benefits Like, Being Cannon, Limiting the sheer number of "Mercs", Making it easier for mercs to find work, Less cases of random backstabbings of employers, and more. So it might be a really good idea, then again it might end up like TU.

I agree 100% on new weapons for rookies. I've realized how hard it would seem for a newcomer to get a decent gun. The Mak is shit, at least add the double barrel or something.
Yes, the break-action-sawn-off double barrel, yeeeeess. Please, we shall grovel for it.
Yeah both double-barrels would be sweet. Miss them :S and the one Clear Sky uses alot would be also nice.
Here is a suggestion:Allow people who have been on SRP for at least three months to apply for a mercenary flag, while preventing everyone else from being a mercenary, unless they're in a mercenary group with a leader that has the flag. That being said, all currently existing merc factions without a leader using the merc flag must be disbanded.
It'd allow experienced roleplayers to get the flag, while it decreases the number of lolmercs, and removes some of the several merc groups.
I also reccommend that small things like junk such as bread and flash drives, as well as pistols like fort 12s and makarovs(ammo boxes as well) randomly spawn in the map every half hour or so. This ensures that people don't have to completely rely on a trader, while preventing them from being able to arm an entire group for some stupid raid or something.
Another suggestion is that whenever a trader gives people a mission, admins give the traders enough money to pay for successful jobs, as well as giving the trader some small profit(like say the trader gets 100ru for giving someone a job).
That would work Hotstarr, same for Exp Stalker flags. Because donating for flags is hurrdurrf. And you could re-skin the seva with a Eco skin and make it the eco suit, this blue one looks horrid.
Support Hotstarr! 100% Support!

Roll The Dice
I am a man who has been playing your server for about 3 days now, something that has caught my attention is the
dice roll. Who ever gets the bigger number wins, now what if we have added effects for major differences? Like a 50+ dice roll...
Regular scenario:
A attempts to trip B by kicking him in the knee.
A rolls 94
B rolls 13
A trips B
My scenario:
A attempts to trip B by kicking him in the knee.
A rolls 94
B rolls 13
A trips B
and breaks B's knee.
Now still regular effect would take place if it is closer, like 59 to 83... But for some of the more major differences there should be added effects.
Just an idea, but some of the new players coming in are just awful, and i think you should put a password or somthing on the server so only forum member can join and know the password.
Hello, I am fairly new to this server. The community is good and the in-game experience is more than fair to say the least. I tried to create my own little place somewhere in the middle of nowhere only to be informed that I had to acquire Tool-Trust to gain access to spawn any sort of props.
I was hoping that there could be a Applying Thread sort of thing somewhere on the main forums thing where all the main links are. I would like to gain Tool-Trust to be a better roleplayer and yada yada, but I can't find the thread to go there.
If I am mistaken about having to apply for T.T., or I am just missing it somewhere, please inform me! Thank you.

I like the bloodsucker speed increase idea. Despite me always being on the receiving end of the punishment, it makes it easier for a bloodsucker to pounce up on some guy (Since, from what I've seen, most people tend to sprint across the entire wasteland. Probably making it difficult to start anything unless you binded a /me.)
I like RPing with good bloodsuckers :D
I usually use a flash, and people who try to run like minges go "Oh sh-"
I was thinking of an artifact that only bloodsuckers can get like their very own artifact like this.
Say Exile made an item called the "Bloodsucker Artifact" It slightly increases the speed. Much like the flash before the glitch was fixed, and the bloodsucker can move faster and catch up to his prey...
That way bloodsuckers can't drop it and sell it to a trader...If they have a trader character and dropped the artifact and tried to sell it, the trader gets 0 Rubles.
Nerf the damage of the FN2000 and lower its price. Cause a gun should not be able to take down an exo in like 3-5 bullets.

I'm going to want a rematch for my Freedom leader's PK then.
Just kidding.
May let the rookie stalker have a somekind of a starting weapon like a makarov PM or a ka-bar?
A bit like in AirSlide's Falloutmod.
A good way to get an economy would be to find some trustworthy people like some traders... give them a unlimited amount of money and get them to make jobs... really hard to get new poeple to play the mod when you first join and when you run down the road you get robbed.. because you cant buy anything..

Not helping people, get on topic.
We're trying to make your stay more enjoyable : )
I've played this a bit now and this game need random npc spawns which got a slighy chance to drop money/items/wepons. Because at the monent there is no way to earn RU or weapons without an admin which might give you a job. You should also spawn a few computers or item shops. The game cannot completly depend on other players. Also fix that you can unload your ammo into your inventory again.
But overall this is a great idea! I'm looking forward to see the later versions.
make like snpc that admin can spawn so there will be like mutants there for more fun ;P (or maybe not)
NPC's are kinda ruled out...
They just arent for serious roleplay.

Make a serious in-game help tab,explaining the flag sistem,artifacts,rules,traders and other stuff.
I started out 3 days ago and it took me a a long time to figure everything out.
Rules in the Help tab I think. Since nobody follows the rule where you have to get admin auth to have a character out of russia or ukraine.

Yes, please. I'd love to see an anomoly wiki like in the game's PDA. I ended going a bit too close to the luring time/space warping radiation circle one. I had hoped to get/see an artifact like in CS...All I managed to do was wound myself. A guide to describe these things with a in-game picture of it would be awesome.
Need more ways for loners to make money. Maybe lower some suit prices, 20,000 for a stalker suit is ridiculous for someone that may only make 100 RU a day. Also make it so that you can add your weapon back to your inventory without dropping it. And make it so ammunition doesn't disappear from your weapon, it gets costly having to re-buy ammo each time.

I agree.
THIS IS FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE STALKER SERVER ONLY. Stop complaining about Desertia in here. I just deleted probably 10 posts all about people complaining "ZOmg Desertia sux!11!!!!1!!" No one is forcing you to play on Desertia, if you don't like it, don't play on it but stop screaming for it to be shut down because that's not happening. If more people are playing on Desertia than SRP than get your friends and get on SRP to get it populated. Or play on both. But I will not tolerate any more of this interserver hate.
We need jobs ... could you find a solution to the jobless encomay for loners ...
Maybe it can't go here, but we need more human stalkers, with emotions, not wanna-be badass cyborgs ice-cold killas and other gangstas. And enforce Fear RP.
There isn't much going on besides stalkers hounding people for money and freedom romance. Where do these roleplay scenarios lead? NOWHERE. It doesn't help that admins do pretty much did-squat to make RP.
Also, people are spread out everywhere and tend to go do their own thing. This really makes the place more lonely than it already is, resulting in severe boredom.

Spread out everywhere can't easily be fixed. We've already gone to a smaller map in the form of Redux. If you still can't find anyone then perhaps you need to get in with more faction members or something. Freedom was full every day this past week, Duty had some life, and a fuck ton of Loners have also been on.
As for "Where do these RP scenarios lead?" Yeah well of course they don't lead anywhere for YOU, it's called character development. Those aren't supposed to be big public "Hey everyone come to Freedom and watch me and Tom do stuff". Find your own passive.
I bet people would pay to watch.
Very funny.
NPCs could do great things for SRP. Everyone has their own battle moving from place to place, and it should attract players. It should be very few NPCs, a sucker here and there. You could make spawn points different for each NPC, zombies should be in one general area. We could even setup NPC's to notice you of dangerous zones, and recommend bringing a weapon or something.

Can you RP with an NPC ? No.
One troll or HGN hater would bring a bloodsucker NPC to spawn, which would kill everybody and make some members ragequit. So, no to NPC's.

Your right, but why can't we make two different servers? One for all the fag noobs, it will have no RP and be more like Stalker Multilayer, with NPC's and stuff. Do you remember WinServars? That shit used to be fun, but they gave it a bunch of updates and it ended up sucking.
I'm just saying because sometimes on SRP I get anxious to kill. I can hold myself back but it would be cool to hop servers and loosen up a bit, kill some NPC's.
Npcs would be very hard to control in the rp, so I would say npcs would be a bad idea, like lolKieck said. They might cause several players to get frustrated by disrupting their rping, as well as the fact that they would just hunt for players and if they happened upon a settlement of players, they would attack them even if ICly they are not meant to (Bloodsuckers attacking large groups of people, for example).
There is only one thing we need.... Guitars! I mean come on! Who wouldnt like to sit round a campfire with your mates and let them listen to your folk storys or even go round the freedom or duty base just playing a guitar... Chilling you know.
Implement actual gun jamming? instead of having people rp it(unlikely), how about just jamming it.

Please don't give me that bs about how you can rp with a pencil and a piece of paper, and how looks don't matter.. It's just really annoying, the t-pose.
NPC's admins controlled, For example, At the bar mutant dogs would attack.
Admins would spawns some dogs
/ev A horde of mutant dogs attacks
And DING!
Indeed. Holding off NPC based mutant attacks or attacking NPC mutant hives for missions would be really cool. Players or admins only play as bloodsuckers or controllers.. And they won't attack bigger groups or faction areas.
Spawning NPC's ? Just so you can get something to kill ?
Nah, not to mention it lags, and it's really usesless since most of the server is armed to the tooth

This could be done if those npcs were put into an area they can't exit. Since they can't climb ladders sewers and other similar places would be a good-start, also possibly NPC snork packs could occasionally (every 45 minutes or so) spawn somewhere in the open (a set area though) The snork ai shouldn't give chase to a player that runs more then X number of meters away from them to prevent someone from pulling them into spawn points.
That what I was thinking. About the set number before "giving up"
Paychecks for everyone. Explainment: First of all, many would start paycheck farming, now if you think thats bad, think of this; The server activicy would go up high, then paycheck farmers would notice that they don't need to farm since there are so many other players or paycheck farmers to RP with.
Second: Why do you think there aren't that many loners on anymore, mostly faction members and people that have flags that get paychecks. Loners don't bother, noone gives them missions, no way of making money and artifacts are ridiculously rare.
Third: Sure this might cause a "SRP inflation", but hey, look it this way; People have money, they can buy stuff and losing stuff won't be so annoying and I think the amount of flaming and complaining about looted stuff would decrease.
People hate to lose stuff, and that is ruining the RP at times. And the response to this from admins has been strict rules so far, no offence.
Edit: Eh, forget about this, bad idea.

Can't really RP without starting with a pistol and robbed immediately as you settle out. No, I don't walk up to them. I just blatantly get run up to from the great beyond without noticing, and then have 2 broski'z point guns at me ;_;
Besides the only "Actual," RP is done in factions resulting in practically every greenhorn joining a faction just to avoid getting robbed on the roads and have something to do. Or have some money to actually buy items to RP with. Cause apparently most of every RP consists of a gun.
There is like no "Life," in the RP role of a Loner unless you actually meet someone who has a flag and willing to lead an army of Rookies armed with stale bread/PDA's for rocks. Other than that, walk around and just eavesdrop on the factions' conversations just to entertain yourself.
Anyway is there a possibility where you can script interaction with the map? Like for example, putting up the action list when examining the geography of "Garbage." You search at 10% success rate through the "Garbage," landscape and uncover scrap metal. Yay, earns you 1 RU.
That or Admins can occasionally hide well hidden stashes across the map from time to time, so Loners actually have something to do for once.
For you know? An actual economy. I know we're suppose to struggle, but I rather struggle in a economy that exists by making few RU just to survive by some means than struggle just because missions and obtaining RU is non-existent while trying to obtain "Tools," from Traders to RP in the 1st place costs beyond imagination.
This is basically how it started when I first RP'd the server.
Me: Alright..time for a STALKER Life..
Err..apparently while I'm aware of how dangerous this place is, I apparently do not pack a gun or a -->KNIFE<-- for survival in the radiated wilderness. Oh well let's head off to find "Civilization."

With random artifact spawns there now is a way for Loners to make money. Explore and find artifacts.
Isn't SRP gonna swap to the Nexus script? IF so the script IG uses has a random spawn of scraps for people to cash in. Though it could be replaced to spawn a single random artifact from time to time.

Or Exile could make like 2-3 low-grade weapons spawn on the whole map.
It'd be very cool. It won't be a good way to make money + we won't have rookies with G36.
Pistols - from Makarov to Beretta.
SMG's - the only good ol' MP5.
Assault Rifles - only AKSu.
It'd be seriously very cool !

I know a Handful of decent loners on the server, and Loner RP is simply as good as it gets, Its not supposed to be easy, if your stupid, you will get robbed.
My only Characters are Loners, i have never been held up, fact is, other loners will always back you up, hang around with other loners, they will always take you in and treat you like one of their own, unless you come across one ignorant arsehole.
End.
When you have guns that is true. When you are ae new player to the server who doesn't know anyone ICly or OOCly then being a loner goes from being ICly difficult to being OOCly not fun.
You can simply approach any loner, Like i said, for protection.
To be honest, the moment things get easy, the stalker feel dissapears.
I love struggling for items and money in my honest opinion.
I would love it if we switched to a own version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in blueprint two.

Although I do think that Traders should be giving out more jobs and starting more events. This jobs don't even have to be such big jobs they can be like deliver quests or go map out the anomlies so my trade import can get here safely and etc. I mean seriously I do have to give props to a few traders actually try to make full blown events but im like saying little jobs that would actually benfiet the trader icly.
Also a little more passive rp items like idk, mats that you can sleep on, camp fires you can make,food you have to cook up, or when you use a drink you watch yourself sip a drink.

This. I am really tired of having traders ask me for Exos and things like that when they do not put any of the money they earn back into the economy. If you are a trader it is your job to offer missions and events with the money you earn. It is not your job to see how rich you can get, use the trader menu to buy skats and FN2000s, and then deflag and go back to being a loner.
You gotta remember though, traders aren't the only ones that can give out jobs. If you're a faction officer or whatever, you can also give out little things, scouting and whatnot. If you have a construction thing planned, you can hire them to help you out with it. Just gotta use that imagination a bit.

This is what irritates me more is why a trader needs an Exo or anything such as those type of stuff..Your there to make an economy for the server not seeing how cool you look then just walking around the map exploring and just talking to people. Go set up a traders post and sell your goods..Be a trader and make missions its the whole point of being a trader..
add a section in the f1 menu that explains the canon of STALKER and the canon of the server specifically for people who have never played the games (such as me) I still have questions about the canon myself, such as why paper money still holds value in a wasteland, its my belief people would barter for things that can help them survive, like trading a case of bullets for something or other. Or using food to get weapons, things such as that. Unless theres something about the canon I don't know like the stalkers and shit are only in chernobyl to make money and can leave whenever they want.

That's actually true. Among other reasons for stalking.
but theres no specific information about this servers canon? it follows the games canon precisely?
It should follow, but a lot of people don't try too hard to follow.
Many Bandit Traders do that but not normal Traders....
add a .357 magnum or some sort of revolver to the server
Already did that last time I updated the sweps and it works fine, other than the lua error that shows up when it is fired (which I have since fixed but don't think Exile put that on the server yet)
Although when I made it I didn't want that to be everyone's new favorite gun, was supposed to be a little more exclusive than that.
Fuck me, I see a lot of ungrateful players demanding more mishuns from traders.
I'll let you in on something: Creating missions is a logistical nightmare, especially since this new map is huge. A simple 'Fetch my memory stick' mission is harder than ever because of the sheer size of the new map.
If it's not a fetch quest, it's most likely a hunt-quest, so you request friends or admins with access to rarer flags to pose as the target.
After running from one side of the Zone and back, or interupting someone elses' RP, you finally made a mission or two.
Lay off the traders for fuck sake, sure they're practically rolling around in money and exo suits these days but you need to remember how much of a faff setting up missions is.
Where have anomalies gone? "Hurr Duur they crash da server"- Wrong! Idiots chucking props or the infamously unstable Stalker ragdolls into Vortex anomalies crashes the server. The absence of artifacts is really beginning to take it's toll on the humble Stalker.
It's like the new government over here in the UK, further widening the gap between the rich and poor (The traders and Stalkers) due to lack of financial support from the government (Lack of artifacts from the admin team who refuse to spawn anomalies).
Go on, have a look at your typical Stalker and your typical trader, what do you see? I see an Exo on one side, and maybe a sunrise suit on the other.
Artifacts are uncommon as a whole. They're not epicly rare, play the Stalker games and you can come across quite a few in a short space of time. Artifact hunting is the Stalkers' primary way of accumulating money, more pressure is being put upon the traders to make mishuns because there are no artifacts to hunt.
Bottom line: Bring back anomalies!

Not really.
People came into the Zone to escape law, or because there is no employment available, etc. Artifacts are mere whispers outside the Zone.
But I do understand your point, artifacts are Stalkers' primary source of income, and people are trying to reach the center / reach more unpopulated areas of the zone (Up North) because you constantly hear about hordes of new artifacts, ie: Lot'sa money.

Don't forget powergaming assholes who think with an AKS74M (not the SMG-like) and a merc suit they can kill one.
It's funny, without artifacts you'd expect the Economy of the zone to plumit, it doesn't seem that way :/
Implement SKILL RP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An experianced merc is gunna rape a rookie stalker. A Military solider is going to oblitarte a rookie stalker. A Veteran Stalker is going to kill an experianced merc.
Does this make sense in a way?
So your point is. Bloodsucker/Controllers/Spetsnaz= Rapes everybody ?
So you are saying, a veteran stalker who has no shit will pwn me even if I'm just a stalker, with an actual stalker suit and an abakan.
I think there should be something like skills regarding weapons, that's actually In game. Like low accuracy for that type of weapons will make you miss most of the time, while the experienced stalkers will start with more accuracy, making them to miss less etc.

The skill should raise very slowly, so eventually, you'll get there.
No point in buying ammo and wasting it for nothing.
Skills are fucking evil and should not be used to give people excuses to power game. I can see it now: rookie stalker has a gun to the back of vet's head Vet spins on him and shoots him because his "Agility skill" is higher and therefore he is faster than bullets. Will be retarded.

Hell yes. Next to the mutants, monolith and Upper tier mercs, the Spetz are the definition of fear in the Zone for everyone. I would definitely like to see some more FEAR RP out of the players, that goes for the Military newbloods, they may or may not be battle-hardened from prior operations, but if they are new to the Zone then they should be acting the role of a jumpy new guy. And as for Stalkers running to the Military base, please dont, it's a fast track to death, a normal human does not in their right mind go to a Military base, guns blazing. Also you may not see mutant-players online, but now and then you can passive and bluntly RP the thought of them being around, as we dont rely on NPC's to do it you should know they'd still be a big presence. I have more things to list should i not see them being done by people in the future =)
No one is scared of the Monolith :(
Because the Monolith doesn't do anything but sit in their factory and shoot people who come in. It's scarier when you guys are out and about kidnapping and brainwashing people.

Actually people sometimes attack us. Which is kind of irrational, since Monolith is the most feared faction.
That's what I'm saying, sitting around and shooting people who raid you isn't scary. Yes you win every fight but respawning to do it again doesn't make anyone afraid. Being brainwashed/ritually sacrificed and PK'd does frighten people. You see what I am saying?
And it kills me how factions get so defensive if anyone has criticism. The topic is called "How can we imporve STALKER" so you are going to get criticized. Don't call me names, it's a valid point. Grow up.

Misunderstanding, I was calling some player here in SRP, not you mate.
And yup, I think we should start making people afraid.
Maybe have it like, if a player or group attacks a faction they can be PKed. Not the factioners, just the ones raiding.
It would give you a reason to stay away and only attack if really necessary.
We need FEWER negatives to attacking shit, not more. Right now no one attacks anyone ever.

This. The only ones that really attacked were A: People that didn't have to worry about losing a few months work due to flags, or B: Were already strapped in Exo suits and brandishing the RapeCanon F2000. No one wanted to attack before because losing shit was a huge setback, what's coming up with MORE negatives going to do besides make people sit in bases all day and not even DARE stick their head out? Oh wait...that already happens.
Just before the script change Monolith were pretty fierce, we were leaving our base cruising the Zone, attacking Stalkers and the like.

Our content in total is just over 1 gig, thats why you do not download it on the server. You need all that content to play.
Yes I did Sort of lie when I said I loved the mod, but not when I said keep up the god work, I think you have a good idea of what you want, but your taking it in the wrong direction. Try looking at the script of Radioactive sandbox for some ideas, Radioactive Sandbox has events like emission, or "Fallout storms" and Anomalies randomly spawn and shift in the map. it also has a spawn system where it automatically spawns the amount of loot and AIs based on the number of players on the servers, heres the Facepunch thread:
http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=896577 (http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=896577)
Not trying to make this sound like a server ad, but if you want to try the game-mode on my server, feel free to join: 184.154.46.119:27015
Now for the constructive criticism. If you can't take constructive criticism well, that you don't have to read this.
Firstly, custom content, there is far to much custom content that simple half life 2 models and textures can handle, why is it that the map uses textures ripped, from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, When you could easily use a file form the Source engine? Speaking of the map are you aware you can Pack rat the files? Pack Ratting is where content is saved with the map map file, so you don't have to go and download 1.8 gigabytes of textures.
Secondly Gameplay. I thought you were aiming for the feel of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, obviously I was wrong. When I spawned I wandered the map aimlessly not knowing what to do and I felt like i was uninterestingly exploring the map. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R I couldn't go more than five minutes without getting attacked by mutants or almost wading into an anomaly, however none of that happened on your server more than once, where an admin (who was for some reason a mutant) starting phys-gunning me and making weird noises. Not knowing what to do I ran, seconds later I was met with a big fat kicked screen. No prior warning was given and there is no explanation for getting kicked in the role-play guide. ???
On the note of Players being mutants, i'm going to state how much sense that makes, which is zip, none. Firstly anyone over 10 is probably smarter than a mutant, Players a much to intelligent to take on a role of an animal, who's brain has been made into a fried egg by radiation. If this is true, then why would a player, rathar than an NPC fill the role of a mutant? The map is AI Noded, and there are stalker mutant SNPCs in dans mega NPC Pack that even I could implement into your gamemode. and don't say mutants can't roleplay, because in real life (assuming mutants even can exist,) a mutant would kill you no matter what, in a gamemode based on a game, that is based on real life, the same applies, therefore the mutants are brainless idiots which will stop at nothing to tear your face off, and an NPC can very easily fill that role.
The whole content pack is separated download is, I believe, to keep the server stress down. It isn't hard to come here to download it.

SRP is trying to aim for the Stalker Universe, but we have some issues with the whole Canon and Non-Cannon thing.
Also, I've played SRP were it was unsafe to be outside due to bandits and mutants, but we had a script change and it isn't finished yet.
We had blowouts before, but it was removed(?) We have anomalies, but I think they require an Admin to place them on this map. The last map had them generated, while there was some sort of equation to get them to spawn artifacts. We also have scraps that spawn. But most people do missions or join Factions to get any where. As for the NPC spawn, Exile asked the community for our opinion's. It's up to him to decide to add or not.
And I think the mutant/admin was trying to Roleplay with you, but you may have avoided it and he kicked you.

Reason why we have player mutants is to create Fear RP and Regular Roleplay. It takes intelligence to be able to act as a mutant. The mutants as players are provided to add more roleplay to the server, and make it less of a Shoot-Everything-Gamemode. Mutants do only wish to kill you if you invade their area/they are hungry/or you hurt them.
Mutant Players tend to only go for single loners, usually for food or territory needs. Never attacking groups(Unless they are stupid and want to die). NPCs would attack anything marked as an enemy.
If they were NPCs, people would grind them for any items they could drop. Also, the mutants, such as controllers and Suckers have more then enough intelligence to do things. Having NPCs could cause issues such as they can spot you from far away and tend to chase you until they die.
SRP is also
based on a fictional game which is
based off a fictional book,
based off an actual location. So it is not based on real life at all. The Actual Zone does not contain anomalies and mutants like the game. Nor does it have artifacts or Factions fighting in the Zone. As far as I know, the Zone is a closed off area to the Public, with maybe some people going in to steal things they can sell. But nothing even close to being like Artifacts.
Anomolies used to spawn randomly and there used to be blowouts. Players hated blowouts because they were obnoxious as fuck and there were no places to hide from them in the map they were on. Since Sector 42 has more places to hide it would probably work a little better.
I think anomoly spawning will be brought back eventually.
NPC mutants would be stupid since new players don't have guns or ammo or anyway to defend themselves if some asshole pulled a mutant into the spawn teleporter things would be bad.
Mutants are all player controlled because like Khorn said it is scarier when a human sucker is tracking you and cloaking in and out than some mindless NPC bull charging you. Mutants are smarter than you think, yeah dogs and snorks are pretty brainless but suckers and controllers in the games and books have been shown to be pretty intelligent. Plus the mutant flags give donators rewards that keep the server up.

Iv noticed how while playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC Everyone has a gun (Unless there mutants, or a NPC with no life), I would suggest that Rookies get a weak pistol (Of course, they have to be trusted after the admin watches them at the rookie camp)
I haven't been on the server for 1 month, and that was before I got SoC. I understand if you disagree with me, just don't flame me for " BUT MINGES MAN"
They do get guns now.
I Think that their should be a Rookie Camp like in Stalker Soc and Stalker Clear sky for All the new players (rookies). When they get their, there should be a few Mercs Armed Well to protect it ( Because knowing some people would think "lets lolraid it"). A leader of the camp (Well someone like 'Wolf')should be their to help them out a little. Weak pistols should be given to them. It would give new players to learn and make better RP (Well if they Rp in their). Jobs could be handed out and other stuff. A fews day later they will have to leave the camp. Only the people (Rookies) should be able to do the jobs in their and Get cheaper stuff from a trader.
I don't know how it would turn out but hey. This is ever a Really bad idear or a Really good idear
PS: sorry if there are spelling Errors.
It's a good idea, although we'd need few gurus, from other timezones and very active ones.

See the Sanctioned, they are a player org that does that...kind of. When they aren't stash whoring. Not sure if they are still around, I think they are since Dug wants his forums back.
Traders can't really lower prices on low end gear due to it all coming in shipments which is why no one wants to sell low end gear. Because if 1 person needs a makarov and a trader has to buy 5 he either takes a loss by selling that one makarov at a reasonable price (and being stuck with 4 other unsellable makarovs that no one wants because they suck) or he has to charge the rookie more to cover the shipment cost so he can sell the 1 makarov and make money by cashing the other 4.
Add some more trading stuff

Facepunch does not like RP servers, it is similar to how posting RP stuff on the Specialists' board would get you flamed. That will do more harm than good, especially since the last person who ran the thread started flaming people back and generally being an idiot instead of looking like a mature, organized person.

That's not the point, good RP adverts are liked, don't post about things you don't know.
Everyone I know and myself included doesn't go to Facepunch to look for RP servers since every thread I've ever seen on FP advertising RP either gets flamed due to edrama between various people/general hate by most of FP's community about RP servers (which is extremely likely to happen given HGN's shit reputation amongst everyone) or is ignored and disappears, therefore not adding new people. So I think I do know what I am talking about when I say an FP ad isn't as helpful as you think.

I too say posting on FP would cause shit. Maybe get a few new players, but at the cost of a load of minges. Which would lead to losing players.
I've been with FP since 06, so I've seen what they do for enough time.
Also, I'm only there for News and Games Discussion. The other boards are too elitist or full of dick heads. Or both.
It could work, its easy if you know how to talk to the people on FP.
Anyway, I might work on making a video. Just need to fix some things related to Source recorder, at the moment it dosn't work when you go on the server.
A Promo Video would be good, It should have Full action imo its what draws people in. Gun Fights explosions epic music= Profit :)
We have several of these promo videos, they don't really help us getting more players.

A promo vid for RP doesn't work.
You either make a promo for the whole community or make a boringass RP video.
Well I guess Star Ship Trooper Promo vid is different then...

Promo vids don't really work since you can't easily show RP quality from a promo vid.

Showing off the script. Mutant Npc's, Weapons, Players, faction wars..etc would also be great. If someone saw that they'd wanna try it. It's kinda like a hook for the community.
Yes something big in stalker which I liked were faction wars, something that should be shown if a promo vid was made.

There are no zombie NPC's normally spawning on the map. The only time it's spawned is when admins go and make an event for players regarding attack of zombies at Duty base.
Which would then defeat the point of the event if NPCs killed the Zeds for you.
Exactly so no point in having them ;D
Stashes (not too much in them) Which spawn randomly (maybe about two in the whole map to make it easy) and have traders give out jobs to find the stashes and return certain items.

the stashes could be implented in less then half an hour if he wanted to.
Edit: There, I made it in 5 minutes.
function SpawnStash()
local itemlist = {
"itemshere"
}
local spawns = ents.FindByClass("info_stash_spawn")
local stashpos = table.Random(spawns)
local stash = ents.Create("item_lootstash")
stash:SetPos(stashpos:GetPos())
stash:SetAngle(stashpos:GetAngle())
stash:Spawn()
end
timer.Create("stashspawn_timer", 300, 0, SpawnStash())
The above code will spawn a stash at a random "info_stash_spawn" entity on the map.
You can create random loot by entering items into the loot table, make it pick a random and add it to the container using whatever script you do to do that.

More NPC's, Maybe afew bandits (With the mole and real weapons) Creates the atmosphere for the event that they are used in.
You have done well with the blowouts, Just keep it up....Great going peeps :D
the stashes could be implented in less then half an hour if he wanted to.
Edit: There, I made it in 5 minutes.
function SpawnStash()
local itemlist = {
"itemshere"
}
local spawns = ents.FindByClass("info_stash_spawn")
local stashpos = table.Random(spawns)
local stash = ents.Create("item_lootstash")
stash:SetPos(stashpos:GetPos())
stash:SetAngle(stashpos:GetAngle())
stash:Spawn()
end
timer.Create("stashspawn_timer", 300, 0, SpawnStash())
The above code will spawn a stash at a random "info_stash_spawn" entity on the map.
You can create random loot by entering items into the loot table, make it pick a random and add it to the container using whatever script you do to do that.
The code itself is correct, however, that code is for lemonade, not nexus.
Thus, it's wrong.

Of course, that just an example of HOW it could be done, the entity names are just something I made up, and the actual container system would have to be implented as well.
You would have to make sure it be fair for players. Like a minimum limit of players needed which would change the value of items in stash, the chance of spawning and dangers of getting close to it(anomalies, spawn in radiated waters, other).
We wouldn't want a single player on all night alone touring the map looking for a stash of items.
There are was 35 players on the server last week. But nobody plays this week. I play only 3 weeks and i think SRP - is very good and interesting mod. I heard all play in Middle Ages mod now. But it's bad that nobody play SRP
Salvagable Nodes - Crafting System, more emphasis on STK - /me aims my weapon /me fires a burst is retarded because the game mechanics encompass these actions anyway, roleplaying is supposed to be ineteresting not static and boring - its supposed to drive your character and make things interactive but leave a fair portion to your imagination; unfortnately I find most of the SRP mechanics for lack of a better word, boring.

Feel free to STK everyone in sight. /me shoots at you is actually better way, BECAUSE there won't be any constant moaning about "that bandit who opened fire at me" and people will actually KNOW YOU are FIRING AT THEM.

Problem with that is people are whiney bitches who will complain if they lose any thing fro fights. Which is why STK fights are rarer than live giant squids in captivity and probably also why SRP has been 0/45 for the past 2 weeks straight.
Although as I type this there are 10 people on the server.
When I play MMO's I play to PvP, I enjoy the thrill of killing another player in live combat, I enjoy looting his shit afterwards and taking it for my own and if I feel like it I might feel the sudden burst of need to take a giant shit on his ego through private messaging - were in a wasteland were law is only enforced in the confines of factions encampments - everything else in the world should be free game, but I suppose if the community can't attune to what and how a wasteland environment should respond to them...
"I can't be a dick and steal everyone's shit, so, this is boreing." That's all I'm really hearing. You CAN STK, you have to declare it, or actually use a brain and RP killing them. This isn't WoW, this is an Rp server. There's a difference. Go and read the rules for an in dept guide to the combat.
You give the impression you think killing other players is a form of griefing, I hope I didn't step into some sort of carebear community.

The difference is in MMO games money and gear is easy to come by since there is a computer giving quests out and NPCs to grind to reearn anything that might be lost. SRP doesn't have that so people get frustrated when they work for weeks to earn enough for a good gun and then lose it the next day. Money is scarce, there are no jobs and with the server population as low as it is that isn't likely to change any time soon.

You give the impression that all you want to do is kill other people. Just saying.
I see nothing wrong with creating a character with a murderous persona providing there is some in-depth detail given to his background and his progression is consistent, bandits are not susceptible to charismatic manipulation and its very hard to turn the tides when you encounter one - its a lawless world out there and hes going to exploit anyone he can lay his hands on for his own personal gain.
It's a shame the servers economy doesn't give some leeway for these playstyles. Oh well. Some wasteland :(
We've been trying to fix the economy ever since STALKER has been up. SK has this idea in his head that everyone must be poor and bored all the time so it is very hard to actually enact change.
The best times of SRP came 2 summers ago when we had artifact spawning on their own, providing easy income. A little more refinement of that system would make things much more fun (back in the day there were issues with it spawning millions of artifacts at once which wrecked the economy completely) but it got abandoned for some reason.

What he meant was, that this is still a roleplay server and the primary way to kill a character, would be through RP, not OOC fighting.
I prefer the second option in most cases, but you still don't have to forget that this is serious roleplay.

Roleplay is focused on character development, itemwhoring is focused on World of Warcraft-like gameplay. We don't really like that type of gameplay.

STALKER is nothing actually without items, but RP is mostly focused on character development. People either focus on one of the sides.

Its been a god awful time at freedom when it comes to this. Thankfully, admins like to keep us on our toes with the tunnels and mutant attacks. I would really like to see Duty Reconnaissance squads in S1 and Freedom Reconnaissance Squads in S2. Stalkers get caught between both sides, like Yanov Station in CoP; You have Duty sympathizers and Freedom Sympathizers.
Also, monolith needs to be present, more so than it is now. They outnumber Freedom and Duty, yet you never see that many on.

Agree.
I would love to see monolith back in action.
We used to go over to S2 and still do every once in a while (Once a week?), but there's really no point when every outpost is occupied and there's no other factions on. On Duty's and the Military's side, them not getting on is the leader's problem. I know Duty is doing something, but the Military is still in pieces.
I think removal on the SKAT/Exo/SEVA roster; It was only needed when everyone was randomly wearing it and such. But these days, should you get enough money and be able to obtain one then you're obviously experienced enough.
Booze and whores all around!
I would like to see more emmisions There are rarely any emmisions and i think that just RPing the emmision is pretty fun
I'd like too see more zombies on the server. So maybe lower zombie price to 20-50$ range? No zombies are ever on :(

And no, I can't donate, I don't have any money.
Zombies are a bit difficult to play since it's like playing a walking meat bag.
Your lucky if you can hit anyone with a gun.
Eighter, more npcs on, so you can have some action when your alone on the server.
or more players....
Because lately both servers have been empty, and once there where people on it it was like too late for me to get on....
So....i guess more 24/7 action, or atleast something against the boredom.

Alot of us see that the map or whatever is causing problems for people to connect. The admins do(should) know to. But they can't just change the map like that. Look, your having problems with it, and some people aren't and are actually enjoying the map. I can play on it and it's buggy, but I do not complain. But if you can't connect.. I have no idea what to say about that.
Seriously, stop complaining about the map. I understand that you are frustrated with the fact that you can't connect to it, but complaining about it won't help a bit. And we simply cannot change the map, I mean, we changed to the current map only a few weeks ago. If you can't connect to the server, check if you have all the content/patches, and that you have put the srp_occult folder into the addons folder.
If you continue to have problems, check your connection to steam and the internet. If it's too slow, you will basically be denied access.

Some of peoples are kicking bloodsuckers when they're jumpin' on them. Well, it's non rp a bit.
NPC trader, everyone said no, Occult, hell no, it's too dark, besides people have problem playing on it and crash more than you on redemption. Bigger model of bloodsucker isn't needed, people should Fear RP, it's even a rule.

Could scoped weapons have more realistic scopes? Like in Insurgency if anyone's played that, with no black outlines and you can see a zoomed in area and the rest is normal.
Also, could ammo equipped not be lost on death, but instead drop as magazines or something by the weapon or in it. To avoid loss of ammo from "accidental" deaths.
Could bloodsuckers and blind dogs or even snorks, drop items like bloodsucker tentacles, snork legs etc. like in the game, so people can sell those too, would make random hunting of mutants worth something, ya know?
Other than that, I think that's about everything I wanted.
Dogs already have a chance to drop items...or at least they did (so did some of the NPCs on FORP) but I know Silver was having a little bit of difficulty with the drop table so he might have removed that.
Insurgency uses 3d scopes which means you are looking through a model. So Romka all you have to do is learn how to model and make some proper scopes and then those can be put on the server. Since you don't know how to model, that's not happening.

Delete your lua and data folders.
Put ye olde /ar command back in, it was pretty convenient to be able to call an admin without having to let the entire server know, or if you dont have said admin on SF etc.
For those who werent around in the old script, /ar = admin request, and works like a chat message that only appears to admins. (I think)
Use /pm.
The advantage of /ar is every admin can see it without needing to send multiple pms. I think that's a.good idea.

I like those ideas, and also the /ar command is good too. I remember a while back we did have that... I never knew it was taken out though.
Another thing that would be nice are de-gradable items. Such has guns, suits, and ect things can be damaged. Than if you find a trader/Mechanic , they can repair the item for you... for a price. Just speaking out of my mind, thats all.
I did not manage to skim through all the pages, and I don't know about this but...a way you can 'reduce' 'lolmerc's...in a sense, is reducing the price of the Sunrise suit, and getting the original model too. The one you use currently is the Ghost variant. People tend to buy merc suit's for three reasons. One, the Recon Merc's the cheapest out there. Two, it's rather stylish. Three, merc' wannabee's. It would be more canon if you could afford a Sunrise, the basic asset and suit of the periophical STALKER. Also, fun-fact. S.T.A.L.K.E.R stands for Scavenger. Tresspasser. Adventurer. Killer. Expoler. Robber.
It'd be awesome if Duran would unlock the SRP commands thread, since somebody might ask a question about any of the commands. Oh yeah, and the thread should be updated to our new commands.

I agree to many lol mercs if sunrise prices were lower people would buy them. In stalker games suits you see on stalkers are rookie suit or sunrise and hardly any mercs.
As I said, bringing the Original Sunrise in. The current Sunrise we use, is not only a stale brown color, but it's the unique one. Which is the Ghost variant. The original's are with a pistol holster on the right side, and the respirator's off and on the chest, or on, with two eye holes on the mask. Not connected. The original sunrise, the regular, is also Olive-Drab. A green coloring. So...yeah. Also, who's the dingy who couldn't port the merc' suit correctly? I'd just suggest switching it, it's upside down. That's all, yo'.
Add a shiny and good looking inventory and backpack browse system. Like a PDA. The old one looks so poor and unclassy now that I've had to stare at it for months. At least an interactive inventory that would show things like armor, guns and other equipment.
A second request, perhaps a map to a PDA (if that's ever going to happen). After some time the map could even evolve to an interactive map with the player marked and other stuff such as bases and so on.

I may do a npc trader which you can buy stuff from for 40% more than the normal price, aka very expensive. But useful for when there are no player traders. I can also make it so the trader can have items sold to it for 25% of it's value, basically for when people want to get rid of items instead of them clogging up the world. But i have been over this ground before and a npc trader tends to have a negative effect.

Put ye olde /ar command back in, it was pretty convenient to be able to call an admin without having to let the entire server know, or if you dont have said admin on SF etc.
For those who werent around in the old script, /ar = admin request, and works like a chat message that only appears to admins. (I think)
Ill redo this command i guess.

Could scoped weapons have more realistic scopes? Like in Insurgency if anyone's played that, with no black outlines and you can see a zoomed in area and the rest is normal.
Also, could ammo equipped not be lost on death, but instead drop as magazines or something by the weapon or in it. To avoid loss of ammo from "accidental" deaths.
Could bloodsuckers and blind dogs or even snorks, drop items like bloodsucker tentacles, snork legs etc. like in the game, so people can sell those too, would make random hunting of mutants worth something, ya know?
Other than that, I think that's about everything I wanted.
I like those ideas, and also the /ar command is good too. I remember a while back we did have that... I never knew it was taken out though.
Another thing that would be nice are de-gradable items. Such has guns, suits, and ect things can be damaged. Than if you find a trader/Mechanic , they can repair the item for you... for a price. Just speaking out of my mind, thats all.
Bio-degradable items\weapons is just not possible since items cannot retain those kinds of values, the next generation roleplay frameworks that are in the works will be able to supposedly so who knows. maybe we will find out the in future, i have already had a crack at doing so but it just leads to alot of sync issues.
Quote from: Crispy on 24-08-2011
I did not manage to skim through all the pages, and I don't know about this but...a way you can 'reduce' 'lolmerc's...in a sense, is reducing the price of the Sunrise suit, and getting the original model too. The one you use currently is the Ghost variant. People tend to buy merc suit's for three reasons. One, the Recon Merc's the cheapest out there. Two, it's rather stylish. Three, merc' wannabee's. It would be more canon if you could afford a Sunrise, the basic asset and suit of the periophical STALKER. Also, fun-fact. S.T.A.L.K.E.R stands for Scavenger. Tresspasser. Adventurer. Killer. Expoler. Robber.
I guess i should revamp some of the suits again. Recon is just a lesser merc suit, practically no armor at all, but weighs little.
Quote from: Predu on 01-11-2011
Add a shiny and good looking inventory and backpack browse system. Like a PDA. The old one looks so poor and unclassy now that I've had to stare at it for months. At least an interactive inventory that would show things like armor, guns and other equipment.
A second request, perhaps a map to a PDA (if that's ever going to happen). After some time the map could even evolve to an interactive map with the player marked and other stuff such as bases and so on.
Was working on that but don't have the time to do a hud revamp atm.
Quote from: lolKieck on 05-11-2011
Make the bandit merc suit playable. It'd be pretty cool for bandits to have an equivalent of a good merc suit or a sunrise while they'd be still recognizable. Or to look cool.
It was going to be a donateable model, i think i made it into a suit..

The thing is, you should make only the "special" merc models donation-only (like antigas_us or something), while keeping the more common blue and bandit merc suit in the game. People would prefer trenchcoats over the bandit merc suit, bandits need their Sunrise too. Seeing bandits robbing in Sunrises doesn't make sense.

This is true. Pistols are useless in SRP, they're only good at shooting a person behind you than the one infront of you.
And urgh, add some bonuses to artifacts ea. more stamina, endrucance.
The only working artifacts are goldfish/nightstar they actually add some..space in your inventory, other artifacts are just "find and sell".

I never said it was a priority, nor did i say it had to be done immediately i was just suggesting it.
I think a lot of people don't use guns that don't have viewmodels BECAUSE they don't have viewmodels. It seems like an easy fix, but still should be added to the end of the list, as Sticky said.

Used to have third person, tricky thing is most third person scripts which, to be good, require alot of additional code and generally use network variables which is real laggy.
In short. Lots of Networked variables = buffer overflow. There are ways around it using other things, but well, would third person really improve your stalker experience?
Another community on an OA script has /thirdperson 1-0 and it honestly does make it more immersive as you know where your characters looking, so you can compensate when aiming a weapon at someone, as you know when you aim at their head in 1st person, in 3rd person it looks like your aiming at their groin. It makes donating for models better, as you can actually see your model as you walk around, and it does buff STM a bit, as the aims never perfect, but makes for more intense firefights, this is from experience not speculation.

You can use camera for that.
Requires TT, Requires app, requires post count, requires new camera every time, camera doesn't follow you... Cant fight with a camera behind you as it doesn't follow where you look ect... list goes on.
Everyone can use a scripted command that works and adds a nice touch to roleplay. And TT isn't that easy to get, last the last app was 16 days ago/close to a month ago and hasn't had a response, which is one of the factors that deterred me from app'ing for TT.

Rule of thumb:
Wait a week for the moderator to check your application. They are people to, and generally older ones who go to college and work.
If application is not checked within 2 weeks time, NOTIFY a moderator via PM. A simple "Hey *Insert Moderators name*, It has been 2 weeks since I posted my *Whatever* and it has not been checked. I'd appreciate some feedback. Thank you, *Whoever the fuck you are*." Will suffice.
Get rid of the glowing shit on artifacts. It keeps admins from wanting to place them because they're visible five hundred miles across the Zone.

no.
I suggest some weapons should be.."transfered" from main weapons to secondary weapons for example..TOZ mossberg,viper or AKu.
As seen in Stalker:CoP.
We need more guns,more skins for suits, and tweak the performance of the guns.
Admins should give 50000 RU to every Ecologist or the paycheck should be around 2k. They barely have the money to buy artifacts.
Same as above, give Ecologists more money to buy Artifacts.
But also to create jooooobs for stalkers (Primarily rookies).
Perhaps make a big event every week, and a small event every day or so.
Not only for experienced stalkers, but for rookies aswell.
The immediate teamwork gets them more attached to the server.

Also, add an interface to many of the items.
For the PDA, add a map, as well as notes about the different stalkers you know about. (so you can keep track of how much money that other guy owes you for buying that gun for him.)
Make a radio interface, with your favorite channels.
I don't know if you can add some kind of OOC usage to the detectors, but it would help the admins alot, since they wouldn't have to run around your ass if you want to collect artifacts.

Minge robbing is still a problem. I got on SRP for the first time in literally 6 months and 5 minutes into me being in server someone tried to rob me and instead of RP I got "/me hoses the stalker down with his AKS74U, killing her". Naturally I disconnected before the retard actually shot me and don't plan on returning to SRP any time soon.
It's especially aggravating because the character I was on (Omega) is visibly very poor, my entire inventory on her consists of 4 energy drinks and a colt 45 with 2 magazines and maybe 100 rubles. I am essentially a new player and getting minge robbed 5 minutes in is utterly retarded. Especially when the robbery "RP" consists of 1 /me and happened within sight of the spawn point teleporter entrance area.
Quote from: Paintcheck on 06-02-2012/me and happened within sight of the spawn point teleporter entrance area.
I saw where this happened, it was nowhere near the spawn. And the rp did not consist of one /me. What I saw is you telling the bandit to "Bite me". And you got killed for not doing what he said
You're wrong. It was the hills heading down to Yantar within sight of Spawn. And actually you're right it was 2 /me's. The first was "Stop or I shoot" and the second was "/me kills you". Real excellent RP right there -_-
He also didn't kill me, I logged before that happened. Got better things to do than be minge dm'd with no RP (and no, /me'ing "Pulls the trigger and kills you" is not RP).
(https://forums.hypergamer.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F24672028%2Fpc.png&hash=195253e65e2437544329cf96cb1dda66a7403176)
By that logic, everything that occurs in the duty base is minge RP, seeing as you can easily spot the spawn from there.
I could very clearly see what was going on. Not wanting to be robbed is no excuse for disconnecting to avoid RP, especially considering that despite your visible poverty, the would-be assailant requested that you give him one of the items you listed in your complaint as on your person as opposed to rubles (because he's expected to see through your wallet and know exactly how much you're carrying) or your precious energy drinks (again, x-ray vision).
So you see no issue at all with robbing someone 5 minutes after they connect to the server? I guarantee you if I joined every day this week with a stop watch I would have people attempt to rob every character I have (including my bloodsucker) within 10 minutes.
Shitty RP is shitty.

I actually agree with this. Bandits will activily hunt for Rookies to rob for no real reason apart from item progression, and Bloodsuckers will get hunted for no reason at all apart from the ability for someone to add to the ego "I killed # ammount of bloodsuckers, I am master." I believe there was a instance where 4 suckers was hunting and took one rookie down who was running or whatso through rp and so the suckers was straight away in a fight with three others who decided it'd be smart to fight a situation that wasnt theres. Theres no real understanding of Risk rp (Not Fear rp, its impossible to actually handle.) I doubt any Stalker would risk there life just to help out a loner who will give them nothing in return and be sent on there merry way.
I dont understand why a Bandit would rob a visually poor Stalker, what do you expect to get if you can see the Stalker is obviously poor. If your a Bandit, you might as well strike big rather then cause a shootout/notoriety for no more then a small prize. Ari, you just found a piece of high terrain away from the spawn, you can clearly see the other high terrain that is RIGHT NEXT to spawn on the other side from your screenshot. What Paintcheck is getting at is that as soon as he spawned/joined the server, he went right up onto the hill where the robbery straight away occured. Sounds legit to me, its practically still at the spawn and hell the Bandit was obviously waiting for someone to cautiously get to a location they needed to be so they might abuse the position of the spawn.
This issue is hard to fix, from what I believe there arnt enough Bandits to act as role model bandits so the newbies might learn from them. Bandit rp hardly even ever consists of anything passive because when you've got a nice title in Scoreboard saying that your a bandit, the server grabs forks and torches.

Large bandit group. Making a group. Fighting metagame.
Doesn't make sense unless you wouldn't make a group literally.
get admins that don't target people because of personal hate.
That's nice, Jake. How about you help us get players that don't go out of their way to be borderline-RDMing aggressors in every single situation with keys bound to disconnect in the event of a struggle, so as not to lose their precious gear?
Fix the little shit like the v_model for an94 and sig, change the name of "skullmask" to gasmask when it says this character is wearing a skulmask. Stuff is a bit picky, but most people shy away from those weapons because of those issues which ultimatley correlates to rp. So in a sense it would improve my role-play...and for skull masks just less confusion.
Idk about this one, but is the adv duplicator done for good?
-Another absurd request, some different drugs as an item in-game.
-Maybe you could need a PDA to /advert something for free or something
-Purchasable music radios? That ones iffy
-PDA to pm people.
-Maybe eat food or your attributes slowly get hindered if you don't eat enough.
All Straight forward RP on the server is remarkable though, as in the direct interactions between players IC. This supplemented by the easily navigable radiation script INV and what not would make SRP even better...Orin meh opinion at least.
Couldn't find a spot for this post in the stalker development area so this was the only other place this fits I guess.
Make a better system to prevent paycheck farming. I'm getting tired of seeing So And So being on the server at 3:00 AM in the morning alone with like four or five hours on their playtime. Maybe instead of a system based on time perhaps one that requires the player to DO something (Clicking) or maybe based on however units of measurement he/she has moved or even an auto-AFK kicking system if a player goes AFK for longer than an hour.
This being my opinion and I seriously hate to restrict RP, but I don't know if anyone has noticed the sudden influx of large amount of players becoming muggers or highway-men in SRP. Originally, I had no problem with this, but then I noticed how all these players suddenly started to just killing off large amounts of the poor population and making new players want to leave. I began to see how the poor just got poorer and the rich got richer (Definitely not good, especially in our current economic situation inside of SRP). Anyways, getting to my point, making those of the bandit faction (Bandit Outlaws, Bandit Enforcers, ect.) the only people who can legitimately mug or rob players. This would convince more people to donate for Bandits and actually use them, otherwise they're practically no difference from regular stalkers.
Granted, it sounds like a terrible idea at first, but hear me out and give it a try, perhaps.
Also I agree with Midgetonic for PDA to PM and advert things. I've got that old PDA in my safebox for no reason :P and I liked it back when we had to use the PDA to see the scoreboard and PM and stuff.
We need anomolies used far more, with a nice variety of them, and not all just vortex's and whirligigs, maybe even have a small team of admin's dedicated to anomaly placement, lifetime and management, such as birthing artefacts ect.
Right now, any rook or master can sprint around the zone, without any sort of fear, we need recurring NPC's / Anomalies.
It's been said before, but ill say it again for importance. Could we have a command like the old /ar, which is a private message to the admins on. I'd also like a fix of the admin chat (/ac) command, so we can chat amongst ourselves ingame. Then ThY will be happy.

Right now, any rook or master can sprint around the zone, without any sort of fear, we need recurring NPC's / Anomalies.
Sounds like a decent plan actually. Right now, I haven't seen really much anomolies around.. and can pretty much sprint the whole Zone as you stated. Would be nice to see them some more often indeed.

Or instead of anomalies we could use military patrols / monolith.
Yeah, it would be nice to see monolith again.
Right now there's only mili and Freedom. But yeah more anoms and perhaps some mutant NPCs that respawn like 30 mins later after one is killed or something like that.
Or let lower admins spawn anoms and some artifacts.
How bout' we start a project of Reviving Duty? Freedom has no purpose without duty....

It would be nice to have a PDA item wich is required if person wants to advert something. (This would remove the advert fee, of course.)
Food part is tricky, since it requires traders. Maybe add Food vendor NPC's along this.
Eh, the food thing is tricky considering how bloody much the food costs. Last I checked a damn sausage cost like 300 rubles.

Less radiation on the map, slower HP loss from it and way smaller stat losses. I mean there's radiation everywhere now and you have to carry billions of bottles of vodka around (Not cheap for non donators) just not to die annoying deaths from radiation. Also I died yesterday from radiation two or three times and all my agility is gone (Used to be 12%) So yeah.... Cheaper vodka and please by god less radiation spots or slow the speed you get radiated.

This.
OR a geiger counter. Every rookie would get one (probably)
WAY too much radiation. I don't have enough money to buy anti rads either.
Just hire a guide to walk around the radiation.
Detectors still send me lag spikes after I activate the radar.
Over time, the lag gets worse. Ever since you updated them and removed player dots. Before that, they never lagged me.
Quote from: Khorn on 14-05-2012

The problem is that you hear radiation when you get into it (not to mention the geiger is awfully quiet). My suggestion would be to make a small zone where there is no radiation but you hear the geiger ticking.

Again, a good guide has a good detector that can easily avoid radiation.
I'd do it for cheap, but I can't use the radar for long as it just lags me to death.
Okay, the radiation system is frankly just absolutely retarded.
You get radiation sickness way too quickly, I mean I've died twice from it in less than like 10 minutes because you have to go through the swamps from spawn.
At least implement radiation protection in suits or something, because it's really bad. You have to invest in so much vodka/radiation pills.

Yeah. Or make the geiger counter sound go up. So that people will be able to get outta the irradiated area quickly, and not by running through it.
A much closer /me command that can't be seen across the map.
It's really hard for someone to make a silent/stealthy action without everyone else metagaming the /me from miles.
We need a Controls list/know how.

Aim for the head.
Gonztah no. You don't know how it feel like...
Making snipers do ridiculous damage to other parts but head (okay upper torso would be okay as well) would be annoying as fuck in certain situations like: Duty tries to attack Freedom but everyone gets killed immediatly upon exiting the tunnel.

That's what happens in most redemption fighting scenarios lol
If you hit someone in the chest with a 7.62 round, they're not getting up. But in STK you do 25 damage.
Not to also mention you have to hold down Shift while zooming in for the sights to work.
I know this may sound silly but, make sprays last longer...
Some people like me, Miller and StickyWicket have faction based sprays that represent it.
It's really annoying when it just goes away after 1 minute.
If it's abused we can go ahead and kick the player....

If you hit anyone in the chest with anything heavier than a pistol they're not getting up anyway.
Headlamp, just would be really good to be able to have a light when you have a pistol out or a shotgun
I'd have to say edit the values on the guns once more. Later NATO Tiers are shit while the Beginning Warsaw tiers are impossible to use. Atleast make the guns more cost effective. The 74m can BARELY hold its own in a fight, and the G36 isn't even worth the money you pay for it.
Needs more dangers (No radiation please) I mean there wasn't a single anomaly yesterday and the lack of bloodsuckers is worrying. The server is too friendly to be the Zone. Also more stashes or artifacts or even NPC mutants to hunt. There's no incentive to go outside of bases so everyone will just sit there, making it even harder for bloodsuckers to do anything.
I approve of some suggestions, but are they actually taken in mind? :<

Please, NPC mutant spawn system. That way, people can't camp them with some sort of reward like they can with an artifact spawn system. This way, mutant hunting parties will form and everything.

Some ways for non bandit stalkers to make money other than sitting on their asses farming paychecks. (And collecting junk worth 15 rubles once an hours unless you're lucky) Factions need to get more active, traders need to hand more jobs and some admins should get more active as well. And most importantly MUTANT ACTIVITY please. And traders the jobs don't have to be piss easy, there should be a real danger of failing instead of go here pew pew 2 bandits with makarovs and come back.

Encourage traders to actually spend their money on the economy rather than hoarding it and make admins do events for players.

See above.

I'm not sure if it has been asked before, but could we add a few more songs for the guitar? I know we don't have a real guitar swep yet,
but when using the guitar in-game, it could just select a random song from a list full with S.T.A.L.K.E.R guitar tracks. I could also upload
a list of all S.T.A.L.K.E.R guitar tracks if needed
Already requested that, apparently we don't need more songs cause they take long time to download.
Hence the already huge ass content pack that we have to download, which the sounds don't even work.
Well, that's too bad :/
The only request left is auto spawn points for enemy NPCs, but that was already asked and never done :v ...
It's like you join SRP and 5 people are already on. After failing at finding someone, one and then a second player leaves.
And after a few more minutes everyone else leaves..
I mean, the only time when people aren't immediately leaving is when there is an event, because everyone is involved in a mission or in a task somehow..
That's what people need and not only when there is an event every once in a while.. A main goal or at least something that automaticly happens without
the need of a second player, like auto anomalies, that drop artifacts once in a while, enemy NPCs being automaticly spawned in dangerous areas or anything else that keeps people busy
or involved in major conflicts/issues. "This Zone" has been too friendly anyways, but you probably have your reasons for not creating anything like that ( -> "Auto-Stuff") :>
I know this is suppose to be Serious RP and not an action adventrue game mode, but even with a few players on the server, people switch later on to OOC chitchatting and start to do random shit,
because nothing is happening... Not saying that I am getting bored, it's just that other people leave after several minutes
Obviously I'm just the new guy, and everyone else already made his/her point about this, but... Eh :I Just sayin'
SRP is in need of a very strong reform already. I don't think there's much use in suggesting very small/minor additions.
The idea of auto spawning artifacts wouldn't work, anyone with a physgun could just sit on the empty server camping the anomaly, collecting the artifacts, leading to the breakdown of the economy (Once again.)

Maybe, but then they run the risk of a TT ban or full out ban.
And it'd be better if it had a script where a number of players would need to be on to actually spawn artifacts.
Perhaps if they were invisible until you got close up with a detector, but then again the anomalies in SRP can't be approached like in the stalker games, you'd just die.
I'm not sure if things like that can be even scripted and applied to the server or if it's too much work, but..
Artifacts should be auto-spawned around 7/45 players, but just rarely. After another player joins the spawn rate increases slightly and
if one leaves it decreases. Just slowly though. It depends on how many anomalies a map has, but I'm sure there is an easy formula for that
+ bigger spawn radius for artifacts around anomalies, so you can pick them up safely and make artifacts be ungrabable items for phys guns
There is probably a better solution for this, but a Stalker without artifacts to find is like a headhunter without criminals to hunt down :v It would be "task-giving"

We already have artifact spawning features but admins don't take advantage of this.
My roleplay experience would be considerably better if I could cross the swamps without getting rads. I swear there ain't a single crossing point that isn't radiated to high hell. Vodka is quite affordable but being forced to buy a bottle or two every single time you have to go over the swamp will drain the rookie money extremely fast (Or so it would if there were any traders on, instead you just die of radiation.)

People tend to not get on unless theres a admin on. To which it's a cycle of nothing if neither side get on.
Even if an admin comes on, there is only so much they can do.
Unless you want to crank out a dozen missions that are basicallly the same recycled shit, go ahead.
That be about 2 hours of activity on the server.

Serious Roleplay is dead, and boring. Took me some time to realise, but I'd rather play shoot stalkers in ArmA rather than typing a wall of text and
then afterwards arguing with admins and players alike about they're precious gear. No thank you.

He still has a point. I swear when I have fought with few people it all went down to arguing until their friends would come over and help them. Both in Metro 2033 and Stalker RP.
Story progression. Faction Territory. I feel that even though Duty is inactive, it should be treated as them retreating or something. There are no IC guards. So when Duty does get active, perhaps they won't have a base but they will have to take it back. This would go for any faction. Just to give the new faction members something to do rather than sit around at base.
Just my 2 cents.

Duty already had enough of getting dominated by Freedom or another faction, guard duty was the only possible past-time, because if I recall correctly, every time Dutiers went scouting they were captured by any faction possible. Or stalkers. So no, making Duty fight their base back would promote further inactivity.

You're a bit late, Exile and I have mentioned this plenty of times and is indeed severely
slowing progress of a revival. The only reason it has not been done straight away is because
GM13 is literally around the corner and we would probably have to switch script making wipes anyways.

Each bullet will be a item. You will be able to drop ammo but only in sets of 60 for rifle ammo, if you have less than 60 it can still be dropped but you cannot specify the amount you want to drop and only if it's the last amount you have like in stalker.
Ammo will be auto-equip when your gun runs out of ammo instead of manually doing it via your inventory.

Remove the abhorrent blur when you're hungry.
It's there so you have to buy food if you're hungry. It sort of lost it's point when the traders weren't there to sell food.
Hunger had already lost it's point when you were supposed to eat something every hour.
Quote from: lolKieck on 01-04-2013

This.
The reason you eat every hour is because game time =/= real time.
Even though time has little meaning in SRP due to lack of day and night.
Quote from: Khorn on 01-04-2013
The reason you eat every hour is because game time =/= real time.
It doesn't justify the fact that your character is, even if it isn't real time, eating more than a fat guy or a body builder.
You are in the zone, I doubt many people there get filling meals. So chances are, you eat small portions multiple times a day.
The system should be reworked, and there should be food items that fill your stomach better than others, so you can go longer without needing to eat. And if you stuff yourself all at one moment, it should have negative effects.

I swear, it's like you don't bother to read when you post.
A stalker in the zone wouldn't have your average meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They would most likely eat a few pieces of bread and some simple cooked meat. In general, you'd feel a bit of hunger more often than a person living outside the zone. Stalkers would only eat to quell the feeling of hunger for a few hours at most. These are people attempting to survive in a wild and dangerous place, where your food source may as well been cooked in radioactive slop.
The point being, stalkers on average would be hungry more often than a regular person. Unless you live the life of a fat ass and eat anything you want daily, than you would know people generally get a bit hungry ever couple of hours. Add to the fact stalkers also don't get a full nights rest, so being as active as they are, yes, they'd hungry even after feasting on a few chunks of meat and stale bread.
I don't get why you people think all stalkers are well rested, well fed, and in perfect condition. Guess none of you ever lived outdoors or even camped once.

What kind of innawoods shit are you doing out there, Khorne?
I've gone camping multiple times, in those silly little camp sites to on your own camp trips.
And those are bad on their own.
I can only imagine camping in the zone is only a few steps above camping in hell.

i suppose youre right, bear grylls
i did go camping outdoors and i find it hard to compare it to the zone. also i think its because i didnt experience whatever suffering you have had in the scary american woods. did you have to fight off a pack of wolves? or maybe shoot a bloodsucker?
Just more reasons why HGN is filled with fuckwits that feel entitled to candy land like zone.
I'm so tired of HGN's members. All that is left is like a few decent players and the rest are bar flies that expect to get rewarded gear for standing in a bar for a few hours. Oh and than travelling to the next bar across map.
You can't even make a simle thing connection to camping and how life in the zone would be.
Camping generally has a lack of comfort and food. A month of camping will lead you to feeling more tired, and hungry more often. This is due to lack of food you find and the area/'bed' you sleep on.
The zone, stalkers have even shittier locations to get food and sleep. Include the fact the zone is filled with many more things trying to kill you, getting sleep will be difficult. As for hunting, a dumbass would try to eat a wild boar of mutant pig. So food will come in smaller amounts.
This lack of food and sleep means life will be more difficult. You will be weary and hungry more often than an average hiker. So in game, your character should be need to rest and eat more often enough than an average person.
If you eat about 3 meals a day to fill your stomach. A stalker would probably at minimum need 5 small meals a day. As for sleeping, a stalker probably at most gets 6 hours of sleep if he is lucky.
So about 18 hours active. He have to eat every 3 hours to keep hunger away. So overall, you'd eat maybe 5 or 6 times a day. Give or take any activites you do, what you ate, or drank.
Cant stalker like sleep in like...faction owned bases to get rest while still being safe from ze horrors of the zone...And if there is lack of food in da zone why is sidorovich so fat
Try to sleep to sleep during a blowout or mutant/bandit attack on the base.
And it isn't about as lack of food, it's about how a stalker would be living in a zone causing him to not being able to obtain food as easy and the choices would be limited.
And that Sidorovich probably ate it all.
less carebare

oh look its the generalization tactic that youve been using forever to prove a point. let me make it clear to you that your "fuck hgners are so stupid" statements are not true. in fact there are no bars anymore because the traders died out of boredom.
yeah i cant make a sensible connection between an outdoor activity and a fictional contaminated area that is filled with mutants, anomalies and gopniks, because the woods in real life really are containing these dangers, yes?
camping guarantees you a lack of food? im not sure what 'camping' are you doing, but when i went camping i made sure i had food and money with me so that there won't be a lack of it. i mean, if you try to live off the land(because this is what camping means right), then yeah, i think youre going to have some problems with feeding yourself. its just too bad that stalkers aren't guerrilla fighters.
elaborate on why do stalkers sleep for 6 hours only and they must be active for 18 hours?
when we take the average reward for a quest in stalker games and the prices of artifacts and compare it to the price of food, then the stalkers(especially those who are already established) dont need to really worry about a lack of nutrients. this point is proved by the large stocks of military rations which means that the prices are low and the fact that food can also be salvaged from stashes and such.
the stalkers who belong to a faction or a group(these types are in the majority) then we can assume the faction will feed their members. also both major factions are supplied by international organisations with supplies and i'll make the bet that provisions are part of the subsidies.
its important to mention that ukraine possesses a ridiculously fertile land and this causes the food to be very inexpensive, while keeping a high quality. the zone isnt located in the south american tropical jungles-- its not cut off from the rest of the world and it even has internet connection.

Traders don't make the bars, in both SRP and FRP people would go to bars and stand about. Some go AFK, others talk in ooc. And some stick to IC and stand about. And you generalization the connection between camping and the zone and comparing them directly to each other. I was just suggesting that Stalkers don't get the same necessities from the zone as your average person at home. So they'd be better compared to campers and the likes. And yes, there are locations that are dangerous to camp in, both in America and Europe. Not so much as the zone, but that wasn't my comparison. And I said, it wasn't a lack of food that occurs when you camp, it's more the fact you are more active that drains your energy more and that you won't be coming across stores or restaurants with food for you to eat. You pack what you need and you eat it accordingly. You don't take a meal with you for all 3 periods of the day. You generally pack a small amount of food to cover your entire trip, and occasionally you make hunt or fish to fill in the blanks. And for another bit, Stalkers don't live in the zone for a week and leave. Than again, the time a stalker spends in the zone can be argued since they'd be more likely killed before leaving the zone.
Point is, you pack a certain amount of food on you to keep you somewhat fed. Too much weighs you down, too little you starve. No camper packs enough food to cover 3 meals a day on a trip. It becomes a mix of living off the land and what you brought in. Stalkers have a tendency to stay in the zone a lot longer than a camper would stay in the woods or wherever they went.
And I say Stalkers get about 6 hours of sleep due to the general hazards of the zone and the quality of place you sleep in. Maybe you're the kind that can sleep peacefully through bombs and gunfire, but most people would have trouble in a place like the zone where not only physical harms exist, but mental ones too. And by active, I mean the time you spend being awake. So probably you get around 14 to 18 hours of anything but restful sleep. In those active hours you venture about or stand at a bar. I'd sure get restless standing in a bar for more than a few hours. They aren't all exactly hot spots for regular bar fun.
And the food in game, large stocks or not, most of the food is questionable. Except no one cares and eats it anyways do to their choices. It does do away hunger, but again, for a short period of time. Like I said, most people eat 3 meals a day. As is the average over all. A breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some eat more a day. Maybe toss in a few snacks in between meals. So, being a Stalker, it'd make sense you eat at
least 5 times a day, due to the exertion you gain from living in a hostile world. A side note if you use an Exo suit. An Exo suit is tougher to move, not sure how much, but the exoskeleton part puts more pressure on a person, which meant more stressful activities would cause one to become more tired. A regular Stalker wouldn't be burned out as often as someone in an Exo Suit. The more 'exercise' you get the more energy you burn. Your body will need to replenish it with food or other sources.
The foods in game, excessive or not, isn't something you just stuff your face with and than leave to have an adventure with. Over eating leads to being lethargic. And eating this questionable food in excessive amounts seems like a bad idea on it's own. So to keep your hunger away, and not to hit that status over too much in your gut, you'd eat maybe one or two servings of a food item and than you should be fine for maybe 3-4 hours dependent on what you do.
The system just needs to be reworked to make food be able to over feed yourself to last longer. Where as too much over eating leads to negative effects.
You eat food to get back to green status(100%) That should be about 3 or so hours in game before it goes to about 50%. You can than over eat to something like 135% to be above full, but any more(aka 135%-200%) and you begin to feel negative affects on your character. Nothing intense, just a sluggish feeling. Go too much over eating(aka 200%), you keel over.

people want realism
I don't expect, nor would it mean anything if you added negative effects to the hunger system. I've stopped playing. But having a broken system is stupid.
And what's the point of playing SRP if you want it to be easy? Why is Stalker supposed to be easy? This game is being treated more and more like a nursery for kids. Anything that gets included to make it difficult results in people complaining.
