Thanks for identifying the problem (cracked exe) and letting us know of the outcome. :thumbright: And also good luck with the struggle with it.

Where could one change the time in which the bodys disappear? The maassive piles are becoming a problem.

Body disappear already set to best manageable minimum. Setting it any lower than that starts to give some other problems this time; both on the gameplay-wise and technical point. There's a reason that bodies are not made in the games to disappear straight away, not only for visual reasons. :mozilla_smile: They need to be handled in a controlled manner.

If your PC starts to struggle in graphical processing aspect, then go to sleep couple of hours, they should then disappear (those who are set to disappear) unless of course something gone wrong in the game engine things got stuck, that we don't know it yet.

edit/add: also, lower than minimum manageable setting does not mean it'd work, the engine would simply override it under other computations.

Sleeping doesn't really help, haven't noticed anyway. Tho it isn't really a gamebreaker it is quite a big annoyance, can't tell which bodies have been looted, which not and I think that the massive piles might be hogging up memory a bit and causing the *insufcient memory to process command* when hiting contacts key. Also yantar doesn't really seem to like saves, they have a tendancy to get corrupt with the darn breakpoint module issue.

However, those aside :-bd pretty darn swell overall

:thumbright: Thanks.

(PS: some problems may be expected due to the working condition of your exe, in such cases it's very hard to point to the light :mozilla_smile: , hmm.. like twilight zone)

Must say tho, now that I've regained all my memorie on the know-how, it isn't that difficult, sofar at least, tho the heli in Gordon still makes me run like hell since it keeps getting replaced and can take more then 1 direct hit.

OK, found it :mozilla_smile: But, it's 115 Mb! cannot attach the post here or email it. So, I'll try to upload to one of the NEWSA download servers, with a private and temp link for you to download, then I'll remove it. That's the plan. Anyway, one of the download links has gone dead apparently, also; so I can re-link it as well meanwhile. But, I may not be able to do it today, not at least quite late in the night. All the Sunday chores, hah ha. :D

A small update seems to be rather overdue, so it goes: :mozilla_smile: :director:

Patch:
The forthcoming patch, which will take to mod to version 3.1 and mainly set to increase stability of the game and provide a more universal compatibility for a wider range of PC-setups, therefore overcoming the Pripyat First Assault Wave (Snipers Alley) issues seen on such PC-setups, also to provide some minor changes in various aspects of the game, is still in its final testing phase -waiting for the finalization of Pripyat testing- and rather unfortunately, due to the small yet persistent problems that continue to pop-up like wild mushrooms (not those of hallucinogenic ones :mozilla_smile: ) in real life, like the hectic phase at work, like that incessant walking-sick flu in this terrible winter in 110 years, and with all the above and more, everything is taking a bit longer than initially envisaged. But, it's coming soon.


The new full upgrade:

I've made some further elaborations in the design of planning, and widen the scope of the things to come. There will certainly be an Xtreme ++ (working title) version on top of the existing structure. But, in addition to this, I'm planning further extending the game, (possibly) proportionately weighting more to the post-NPP phase. More speculations on this later :mozilla_smile:
However, as a short note on this matter, I'm planning to add some new variants of creatures. While some may be the further enhanced derivations of currently available creatures showing variations of characters and behaviors, I'm also considering to create new species not existed in the game before, which will definitely require some (very) long MAYA sessions. x_x

Before making this avery long post.... "I'm afraid we're out of time" ... don't miss the next episode :mozilla_smile:

Thanks guys, glad that you've liked the ideas. :mozilla_smile:
Although the new version is someway along the way, it's never too early to hear ideas if one were to offer anytime, early is even better as it would give more time to evaluate things in the greater picture, and their achievability, as such. :-k :mozilla_smile:

Thanks buddy, :mozilla_smile: And you're right on this Japan situation, which has brought the "Zone" once again into the daily agenda.

I've not managed to play this yet, so here comes a (likely) stupid question.
Will you consider putting the Monolithian voices from COP into NEWSA? I know some people don't like the whole "emotionless" thing about the Monolithians, but personally, I love it. It makes them so much more imposing and alien in nature.
Also - I've moved house since I was last active here, and I've got a decent connection. Yay.

Edit - Rushed spelling, damn it.
Glory to the holy Monolith, we shall abide in it's radiance forever.
The gloried crystal, through the arms of believers, Shall cleanse all those without true faith from the zone.
It is the greatest honour to be allowed in it's presence, let alone within it's very Home.
Pay homage to your benefactors.
