Hi, i tested on some pcs, but no errors.

In mod is bad texture, with no 2^n    I try to fix this problem. Wait for the fix  

From Bis wiki..

Quote[/b] ]Cannot create system memory surface (Error code 8876086c)"

This is caused by third party content using textures with non 2^n (32,64,128,256,etc) dimensions. It may not effect all video cards.

Thanks a lot .. i'm sure the result will be fantastic !!!

Thx  

You're welcome !

I just played the 2 first missions and I must say that I really like your mod, no bug at all, great feeling, great ambiance and being myself a huge fan of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (the 2 games) I find the atmosphere is well re-created for a beta version

Thx  

Fix is only for some people, which have problems with launching mod. (cannot create system memory surface 1555.)

I'm edited some textures and now everything is working properly. I will write tomorrow small manual to fix this problem.

But most people does not have this stupid bug.

Now is uploaded finally version. Huh, sorry for problems, but my betatesters dont have this bug  

Files in first post was actualized. Problem was totally fixed.

Sorry for problems.

EDIT: FIX or finally version with fix not change compatibility with first instalators   fully MP compatible.

Do you ever play S.T.A.L.K.E.R?

[Sumrak 6]

maza94:

Yep, i finished Shadow of Chernobyl and playing some minutes Clear Sky too  

Nightstalkers is not the same as stalker.I will make some different..  

[mortyfero 0]

Downloaded and played ..

Fantastic!! Great atmosphere, grat map and great missions !!

I have finished Stalker couple of time too, is not the same game but I don't think your intention were to make Stalker2 .. and i agree with you !!

Nice work man!!

[Sumrak 6]

mortyfero:

Thanks a lot.   Test also mp missions (i recomend you Jalovisko), is a unique experience in the Arma. (i think )

[ezechiel 0]

Great job !

Only one question : where i can find the objets/buildings ? Because i have only two barrel on editor... ?

[KaiserPanda 0]

This is a great surprise!  Can this be played co-op, somehow?

I also wish this was ACE compatible(yeah, silly idea)

[Sumrak 6]

Thx

Objects for Namalsk are hidden same like Bis objects. I prefered this way, because i naming all objects with 3-5 type of name using stringtable.. and in the editor class would be a mess. (Nightstalkers objects - Building, Building,..). If you want have objects in the editor, you must extract ns.pbo, find, what you need and create own config, which adding NS objects into editor.

Nightstalkers contains now 6 mp mission, but no coop. If u want play coop, u must something create for now Maybe i create some coop mission, but i have little time to work.

Quote[/b] ]I also wish this was ACE compatible(yeah, silly idea)  

I not play ACE mod for now, but i try it tomorrow

Wow great mod Sumrak could you make it work with the 1.15beta patch.

[manzilla 1]

This doesn't work with v1.15b? What doesn't work? Does it CTD when you start ArmA? Are you using any other Mods/AddOns? Did you DL the fix? Did you read the thread before posting?

Give us some more info and we can provide help. Unless I'm wrong, and I just got lucky running it with v1.15b, I'd imagine if it didn't work with v1.15b it would've been mentioned in this thread. And sumrak probably would not state this.

From the first post one first page:

Arma 1.14 needed (works with 1.15b too), NO QG.

Kaiser,

This should work with ACE since it used XEH but I haven't tried it yet. Did you try to remove the XEH.pbo this mod uses and swap it for the XEH.pbo that comes with ACE? That may cause some problems. Also, try removing the ArmAEffects(possibly the rain.pbo as well.) ACE uses a newer, non public version of ArmAEffects and I believe someone mentioned to remove the old one in the ACE thread.

Again though, I haven't tried this with ACE yet but judging from the fact that XEH is a required .pbo I'm thinking it may work.

Hopefully this may help you out.
