FAQ

General Questions

Q: What is this, anyway?

A: This is a build of the game from October 2004, published by the developers. There is no technical support for this build.

Q: Where can I download it?

A: Here: http://files.gsc-game.com:3128/oldbuild/ or from the mirror here: www.gameru.net/download.html

Q: What is it for?

A: The build contains a set of features that did not make it into the final release. There is a fairly nice static lighting renderer, several locations not present in the release, a fully functional A-Life system, and some cut monsters, transportation, and many other things. The build is unstable and will not replace the final game, but it is definitely worth taking a look at.

Q: How to run it?

A: Delete the savedgames folder and run run_alife_s.bat.

Q: What are the minimum system requirements?

A: CPU 1,4 GHz
512 Mb RAM
GeForce 3 64 Mb or Radeon analog
~1.5GB on HDD

Troubleshooting

Q: When moving to Army Warehouse, it complains about shaders and crashes. What do I do?

A: As an option, give it the shader it wants. Copy the following files:

  • gamedata\shaders\xr1\model_env_lq.ps
  • gamedata\shaders\xr1\model_env_lq.vs

Rename them into:

  • gamedata\shaders\xr1\model_env_sl.ps
  • gamedata\shaders\xr1\model_env_sl.vs

Further, make a copy of the file gamedata\textures\sky\sky_1_cube.dds and rename it into gamedata\textures\sky\sky_cube.dds.

Alternatively, download this archive and unpack it into the game folder:

Q: I get the error: Can't find model file 'meshes\brkbl#423.ogf. What do I do?

A: There is a fix for this error: http://stalkerin.gameru.net/downloads/1935/patches/1935_l04_darkdolina_fix01.zip

Gameplay Questions

Q: The car goes slowly! What do I do?

A: Step on the pedals. )) Kidding. There is a transmission box in the car. By default, LShift raises transmission, LCtrl lowers it.

Q: How do I start a car?

A: Left mouse button.

Q: How do I speed up time in the game?

A: The numeric keypad: 

* - speed up
/ - slow down

Note that it is not recommended to skip large durations of time, because of game instability.

Q: How to turn on free flight mode? A: Enter the following in console: 

demo_record 1

Esc takes you back, Enter moves you to the camera's current position (be careful not to get stuck in some ceiling.

Q: How do I save? A: In the console: 

save [name]

Save name must contain only English letters. Enter it without the brackets. It is recommended to load saves from an edited bat file, instead of from inside the game. Replace "all" with the name of your save in run_alife_s.bat.

Bugs and fixes

Q: Why do all stalkers look like the military?

A: All profiles use the same model. You can download the fix here: www.sendspace.com/file/erfu23

Q: Sidorovich sells almost nothing; how do I fix it?

A: Here you go: www.sendspace.com/file/84eig6

Q: Flesh makes some totally unsuitable sounds; can I fix it?

A: Yes, you can: www.sendspace.com/file/l917ty

Q: Can I turn on DX9 dynamic lighting in this build?

A: No. I recommend using the ENBSeries library for adding some DX9 effects to the game renderer (bloom, first of all).

Settings for the screenshots above:

Alternative settings, for the second set of screenshots:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/j17new

Q: The game crashes when I take the third quest from Sidorovich (documents from Agroprom).

A: This crash is not fixed yet. Do not take this quest.

Q: The game crashes after about five minutes: 

**** file 'x:\sources\xrcore\FixedVector.h', line 38.
***Reason***: *** Assertion failed ***
Expression: id<count>

A: The reason is the spawning intensity, which creates too many NPCs. As a temporary solution, set the following parameters in system.ltx: 

switch_distance = 50
normal_time_factor =200

Miscellaneous

Q: Which fixes should i extract to which subfolders? (Please, don't answer "the usual, like in Soc" - i have no experience in this and i have yet to learn what works from where and how.)

A: If the fix comes in gamedata folder (which it most of the times does), just paste it into the build folder and the new gamedata will overwite the old one, adding new things. Don't need to know what goes where in this case.

Q: which numbers would correspond to "high" visual settings? Or are the recommended parameters close enough?

A: Just change your resolution to your monitors max and change rs_detail to on in user_koan.ltx to turn grass textures on. There are some new fixes to add DX9 features but they probably require some progs to run along with them.

Q: loading a save crashes the game ... eh already remembered the advice from original thread ...

A: Run the run_alive_s file. If it still crashes, delete the savegames folder.

Q: if game crashes during long dialogue with Sid it's because ...? (and how to fix it?)

A: Probably unfixable. This build has some stable bugs in it. Doing missions will eventually lead to a crash anyways.

Q: the console seems to show several recurring errors (one is about some missing audio bit or something) - is that something to worry about or is it just another normal part of this eerie, unstable zone?

A: Not a biggie. I think there already is a fix for this.

Q: Also, how do i put away the weapon (in case i need left mouse key fore something else)? The usual number keys only change the weapon but don't holster the on in use (using Koan file; the current bind list seems ordinary enough.)

A: press G to drop weapon talk with the guys you need to and than pick up the gun
