The official STALKER: Twilight K.E.T. mod thread!

[ket]

The mod will be done soon, just been busier over christmas than I thought I would be

[MeanderingBeing]

No rush, just busting your chops. I'd have to challenge you to a duel if you rushed anything on this mod. Hope you enjoyed your christmas and soon to be new year!

[ket]

Just to taunt meanderingbeing, I'm currently playing whats basically the final version of TK 2.ZERO, and its awsome

[MeanderingBeing]

You can taunt all you want unless you are throwing cows and feces at me... then I'm bringing the british army down on your castle!

[ket]

Don't worry 2.ZERO will be released soon. I just have to figure out how to put a check in my script so the game looks to see if the added mutants are already spawned or not so mutants don't just keep spawning relentlessly on game/level load.

[ket]

Who wants to be a playtester for the almost final build of TK 2.ZERO?

Hello there

Jumps up and down , i would love to take this bad boy for a ride

[ket]

Ok guys I'll get it uploaded later today sometime. Theres a few bits of code to put in here and there still such as for the mutant spawns, but its all working.

[VINTAR]

Ket. Here is how you can check mutants. Hope this comes out ok, i'm on my mobile. This is an example of a function to check mutants by level :
[code]
function check_mutants_by_level(mutant_name, level_name)
for obj_id, obj in pairs(level_name.object) do
if obj and obj:alive() and string.find(obj:section(), mutant_name) then
return true
end
end
return false
end
[code]

so if you want to check for flesh in cordon and spawn if there isn't then:
[code]
if check_mutants_by_level("flesh", "l01escape") == false then
--your spawn code here
end
[code]

not tested but should work.

[ket]

Thanks Vintar I'll give that a whirl before releasing the playtester version

ED - Just a thought. Instead of <if check_mutants_by_level("flesh", "l01escape") == false then> would it be plausible to change it to <if check_mutants_by_level("l01escape") == false then> in order to look at the level as a whole and if none of the pre-scripted mutants are present then it spawns all pre-scripted mutants?

[ket]

Longer than expected where I've been busier than I though would be, but the playtester release of TK 2.ZERO should be ready by saturday/sunday so expect a DL link in the near future

[ket]

Alrighty people brace yourselves, I think I'm coming into some free time soon so I'll be able to finish a few minor things then post a link for the pre-release TK 2.ZERO. Hopefully there will be a surprise or two for the final version which for now will remain top secret. Al I will say is if I can do what I want to the results will be.... explosive

[ket]

Brace yourself playtesters. The final beta of TK2.ZERO is ready. I need you to be extremely picky, I DARE you to try and make the game crash! Thats how confident of how stable I've got everything

Whats missing from the final build -

Not all mutants. Sorry folks I haven't had a chance to properly test Vintars script code yet.
NPCs don't throw grenades
Scorched Earth weather isn't quite finished
Thats it.

Notes -

if your monitor can't support 1680*1050 resolution open the user.ltx file, scroll to the very bottom and for vid_mode just change it to your desired resolution.

Warning -

Expect the unexpected. The AI is truely alive. Without spoiling anything too much, lets just say just because your neautral or friendly with a faction, doesn't mean to say ALL those faction members will like YOU.

Kets did you know facts: TK2.ZERO now contains 22,667 modified files.

DL Linky: uploading now

[audioave10]

I hope you can get the full Mutant spawns done...I'd like to try it in its full Glory.
Sounds interesting.
