hi gamers,
 
I want to shortly introduce the biggest managed mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl available out there.
 

 

STALKERSOUP
 
Welcome S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s!
This is a managed mega-mod for Shadow of Chernobyl by GSC GameWorld that uses a different approach to coding and code management.
 
It started in April of 2010 and has grown to include: most of Narodnaya Solyanka, The Collector Treasure Hunt, Arena Expansion, many utilities and of course new Dynamic Content by TecnoBacon.
 
The idea is to give players a versatile STABLE game while allowing mod makers to focus on enhancements and additions and NOT FIXES!
 
What are You waiting for STALKER?

 
it this mode you can find everything what makes a stalkers heart beat faster. there are tons of quests to do, areas to discover, weapons to use, artifacts to cook, factions to join and hunderts of hours to play at different stages. there are a total of 53 levels 39 of which are surface levels. there is a very active fan community, rush help and troubleshooting etc. the game is a work in progress and is going to have even a multiplayer in the future so join in and stay tuned.
 
this mod is a must have for everyone loving this kind of games. any one who want to contribute should feel free to contact me or TB for further info. I'm a big fan of the mod and spent there more time than in BF3 and BF4 together. it deserves even a sponsorship if you ask me as it's really more than unique and has a big potential for the future.
 
all the credits go to Tecnobacon, the man behind the project - again great work TB!
 
to make it short as Sid says: "Good hunting STALKER!" 
 
admin, it would be so great to get some support for this mod, maybe even a kind of sponsorship?!

Great mod though I haven't played it in a long time.  Lost Alpha kind of killed my desire to play it.

wait wait wait, Are you telling me that they finally got this mod fixed and is playable? Is it really better than lost alpha?
I only say this because I have not played Stalkersoup in a while atleast a year or so.

Yea I think I was waiting for the 1.1v release before I gave it another try.

Smart terrain? Please explain

as boredgunner said smart terrain manages game initialization, new content, logic etc.
once it is in his final state no new game start is needed to have the new game contents.
to make it simple it's a very important mile stone that was already reached.

Visuals look improved.  It must look really nice with forced supersampling on top of that.

lol
 
I'm not on evga as much as I use to as you can see, late on this thread, but yea Stalkersoup has been out a long time and getting constant updates, I played that mod for at least 300 - 400 hours beta testing it with multiple playthroughs
 
Lost alpha is a blast to play as well but already did like 3 playthroughs on it, I need to do one more runthrough though at least since some things were probably fixed by now I havn't seen yet.
 
 

I gotta check this out, after im done with my lost alpha playthrough.

the current 109985 version is very stable and smooth, no more crashes - it's word trying.
