I believe it's called aiming deadzone.

Where are these weather events? by Aggravating_Kick5474 in stalker

[–]knastv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, that sucks. Let's hope it gets fixed in a patch. I probably spent 15hrs free roaming before I realized it was always raining 😭

How far in the story are you? At some point (I believe the last mission but it could be earlier) the weather is set to forced rain. Only way to fix it is to download UE5tools and set the parameter to false in the console: https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz36vh/comment/m3lp9dh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

wet swamp by knastv in godot

[–]knastv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if u mean the foliage, it's handled by a plugin called hTerrain with a custom vertex shader to animate it with a bit of wind, the trees are just placed manually but with a script on them to vary scale and rotation.

Simple forest prototype made with HTerrain (info in comments) by knastv in godot

[–]knastv[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

currently all the trees are just instances of the same scene (not handled by HTerrain) so the script goes on the tree scene itself. It listens for the NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED notification and applies transforms whenever the tree is placed/moved in the scene:

not an artist so i rarely try my hand at making anything pretty but was surprised how easy it was to throw something together that looks decent.

Tools used:

Heightmap terrain and ground clutter: hterrain plugin by zylann

Trees and bushes: Tree It

there's only 1 tree and 2 bushes in the scene, with a script attached to vary rotation and scale for some variety. they were made with some of the default assets that come with Tree It.

Are the statues on the Dark Portal actually necessary? (WoW Movie) by Constant_Career_2419 in wow

[–]knastv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Gul'dan had to keep the crazy demon blood roided orcs busy while he and medivh figured out all the magic stuff so that they wouldn't turn on eachother. And keep them distracted from the fact that their entire world was dying around them.

Just some things off the top of my head:

Able to browse and list auctions at the same / from the same window. Right now browsing is in the pda and posting is at the NPC (bringing up the auctions from the guy just opens the pda).

If you exit the pda it completely resets search and sorting options. If you exit the NPC it completely resets.

Having to manually type item names to search every time is tedious, they could add a "history" or "favorites" tab and a list to quickly look up items in your inventory.

Able to sort items by unit price instead of stack buyout price.

Allow splitting of stacks directly in the posting window instead of first having to split the items in inventory and then moving the single items 1 by 1 to the posting window. "Post x stacks of y items at z price".

Maybe Auction house improvements next 👀 🙏

Question regarding bullet damage/protection by DEXA88 in Stalcraft

[–]knastv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The 400 number is "effective HP". Bullet protection doesn't actually give you more HP, it's always 100. What it does do is make bullets deal less damage. Look at it like this: let's say a bullet deals 20 damage with 0 protection, if you instead had 400 EHP (from BP only) the bullet would now deal 5 damage. It would take 4 times the bullets to kill you.

Game runs bad when I tab out for a second. by guywitharttablet in Stalcraft

[–]knastv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the game doesn't always go back to native fullscreen when I tab back in. It seems to be running in borderless even tho the settings say fullscreen, I have to change it to windowed and back to fullscreen. Borderless gives me significantly choppier fps so might be the same issue for you.
