[Sumrak 6]

Old Bear:

Thansk :)

william1:

;) No, i begin work on next missions in campaign soon, but, first, i must finish some models for campaign (mutants, soldiers) and fix Namalsk island and objects too. Then i can start to make missions. Sorry, but i had lot of school work last months - work on modification gone slow :(

Where is this lab? Checked everything? Is it tihs AI on snowy hill? If it is, seems not to be working :(

[BiGFooT_y2k 0]

Cool easter egg at the labs, Sumrak, hehe.

@SaS TrooP: just keep searching. As far as I remember, it's situated at the southern part of island (but maybe I'm wrong)

How exactly do I make the zombies and bloodsucker attack me?

Sweet mod, by the way. Loving the soundtrack. Never expected to hear Blood Money music in ArmA

[sas troop 0]

Found it :)

And get own3d by message in lab xD

[Sumrak 6]

Thanks all :)

How exactly do I make the zombies and bloodsucker attack me?

So, u can use scripts from campaign (it's mission2), u can look in editor, how to use. Work on mutants is in progress. I trying to tune Namalsk and his satellite mask. If Namalsk will be ready, then i begin work on mutants, soldiers and whole campaign :)

Is it tihs AI on snowy hill? If it is, seems not to be working

Yes, AI "object" have no geometry lod for now :) Underground is in AII object.

Yes, found it and its best map in Post-Apo style in this game. I dont know if Klurs is better, cause its not working on ATI.

I wish you best of the job - I really cant await campaign!

i tried some time ago to make STALKER stlye RPG mission, but then get bored. Maybe I will resurect the project.

[white angel 0]

This is a fantastic mod you and your team made. It made me wanna reinstall (S.T.A.L.K.E.R SC) but I realized I enjoyed playing in Namalsk alot more. I just have more fun when I can travel miles without load zones.

If I could ask a few questions.

Is there another file I'm missing? I get music missing errors when loading up Namalsk during the intros. I only have ns_0.45.

Is this the first time below ground structures were used in ARMA / OFP? Was doing that so much work noone has tried it befor?

I understand your a busy person, but will we get the various heavy armored russians and bad guys that STALKER had? If not, would you mind if someone else ported some?

Thanks again for this awesome mod!

That is wierd. I never heard about this. Try clean mod install - delete Nightstalkers folder and unpack again whole mod and look into <ArmA folder>\Addons for non official addons too.

Is this the first time below ground structures were used in ARMA / OFP? Was doing that so much work noone has tried it befor?

I never saw "underground" in OFP / ArmA, i think, in ArmA it is first "underground". It is possible, that in OFP someone try this thing. But, it is hard to make this fake underground :) You must create some models of ground and every object in the area must have precisely position (every barel, bush, tree, building..). As you saw in the lab floor, i plan next floors :)

I understand your a busy person, but will we get the various heavy armored russians and bad guys that STALKER had?

Yep, developing this is not easy, if i'm alone :D Official Nightstalkers: Shadow of Namalsk campaign called Namalsk Crisis will have some inspiration from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (like blowouts, mutants and some bad guys) - but, my plan is not create copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. idea :) . You can watch the official web, more information about crisis will be avaible soon in big update of the web..

..If not, would you mind if someone else ported some?

If i understand this right, no problem. As i wrote, i have some inspiration, i have ported things (bloodsucker and some buildings). Currently i have all, what i need. It is possible, that will be more things needed in STALKER rpg mission on Namalsk (this mission will be released with Namalsk Crisis). Main change is in whole game, because i continue with work in ArmA 2. The main reason is island Namalsk - he have now new satellite mask and in ArmA 2 disappeared very weird clutter bug, which i can't solve in ArmA 1. I continue with work and i have almost 20 missions from campaign completed. In ArmA2 u can in editor use new modules - blowout, mutants spawners, ambient sounds, atmosphere music or colors and more..

Great job Sumrak, I would like to ask you the status of the campaign, and by the way, are you going to end that lab with underground level at the south base in the island? That "Want more? buy ArmA 2. Sumrak" Makes me believe you are kidding and going to end that tunnel dont you? :)

That laboratory will have another floor :p but all in ArmA II, same as the campaign :)

Progress on campaign goes good, i have lot of misssions completed, final count of missions will be 25. But, still i have a lot of work, missions needs detail testing, i want to have a all fine in final version. ;)

[Unchained 12]

So, what are you going to do? End the campaign, lab, and else? I mean, going to end them for ArmA 1, or you are going to leave like this and move to ArmA 2?

Whole work is fully under ArmA II now..

Thanks :) Zombies can attack with some scripts, which are in included mini-campaign, bloodsucker don't have proper animations and also don't have scripts.

All is done in ArmA II now, scripts are included with mutants and it's much easier - only placing mutant in editor. But, whole mod for ArmA II is still in development progress, currently working on main campaign :)
