Stalker CoP - Ready to go to Pripyat

Well, after few days of hard work, gathered full team, got good equipment and ammo and ready to go to Prypiat first time :) All in all, I think a lot of reviews of this game were pure BS, for putting it down. It's a clear improvement over Stalker CS and has a lot of improvements in AI, weaponry, story is still interesting and the zone is creepier than ever. If you liked Stalker SOCH then you're gonna enjoy this one.

Stalker Call Of Pripyat

Started playing SCOP. Well, being a long time Stalker fan, I got addicted very fast and immersed very deeply. IMHO this is a lot better than Stalker CS. Obviously, or traditionally it came out very buggy. I got patch 1.6. something so it's so far so good for me. Hopefully I wont' have any crashes once I get to Pripyat to get those calibration tools ;) Finally, after 3 years and 3 games GSC implemented sleep. Good, because the zone is a lot creepier at night...

As I mentioned yesterday, features are up :) So, what do we have this time: 1) Graph is no longer constrained to 800x600 size. You can select from several different sizes, controlled by either settings form, or query parameter sz; 2) Improved autosuggest, which now can match search strings against both, name and A.k.a. columns and display matches in name (alternate names) form. Selecting the item copies just the alloy name; 3) Skipped alloys, i.e. those that don't fit in the graph are displayed in gray color, so you can easily spot them; 4) Alternate names (when available) are displayed in the single alloy analyze mode, below the notes.
