Just starting out... Performance issues?

Bjossi on 17/7/2007 at 16:34

Isn't it called Obokan? Or am I hearing about a new weapon, again? :o

D'Arcy on 17/7/2007 at 17:20

Obokan = Fake name used ingame.
Abakan = (http://world.guns.ru/assault/as08-e.htm) Real name of the weapon. I use a mod that replaced all the fake weapon names for their real ones.

Bjossi on 17/7/2007 at 18:26

Why didn't they just name the in-game weapon Abakann or something? :p

Me being a pack rat, I find it a little annoying that you are suddenly unable to move if you reach 60 (or 70) kgs. After the number gets red you should be able to grab stuff but you progressively run slower as the weight number goes up, rather than you can walk quickly but all of a sudden you can't move if you pick up a piece of bread. :o

There actually is a system like this in the game: compare how far you can sprint when carrying 10kg vs. carrying 49kg. I don't know if your movement speed changes, but you can definitely sprint a lot longer when carrying fewer items.

I had suspected that but was never hundred percent sure. But it's still weird when you suddenly can't move when picking up a piece of bread. :o

It would be nice if you just kept getting slower and slower instead of completely stopping. But, eventually you'd be going so slow that there would be no reason to even try, so it probably wasn't worth the time to implement.

Either that or it's just a really large loaf of bread.

After lab X18, you can get it as a reward from Sidirovitch. In those jobs that he usually has available, you'll have to do the following missions for him:

- Bring me the Jellyfish artifact;
- Bring me the Stone Flower artifact;
- Bring me the Meat Chunk artifact;
- Bring me the Night Star artifact.

You'll receive the Tourist Suit as a reward for accomplishing this last mission. Note that the 'Bring me the Night Star artifact' mission will only become available after you get the docs from X18 and show them to Sid. Before that, Sidirovitch will only give you the first three missions.

Night Stars aren't easily found during the earlier stages of the game (although they are very common in Pripyat), but you can get one as a reward from Baldy - he's inside the Bar - if you accomplish a mission for him, which is to kill a Stalker in the Army Warehouse area.

Who's Sidirovitch??
he doesn't appear in my contacts (so does that trader from the start), is he that trader that saved your life in the beginning??

O and yes i allready completed that lab, i'm know at the scientistpost at yantar or something finding out info about lab 18

damn that lab 16 freaked me out sometimes :thumb:
it felt like the experience i had when playing fear

EDIT:
i went to the trader in the beginning & he gave those 3 missions you've mentioned but that's it, he won't give me any other artifact missions so that wasn't the guy that we were looking for

Sidorovitch is the first trader, who is in the Cordon area. If he doesn't give you that mission, then maybe it's because you never brought the X18 docs for him to look at, and instead took them directly to Barkeep.

erm, i did was i was told to do on the mission screen..
but i don't remember if i went to him or directly to the barkeep
damn, so is there another way to get that armor (or other amor that gives more room in your inventory) and how do you get an exoskeleton?

wait a minute, you're talking about the x18 docs, isn't x18 is the second lab right or am i mixing it up??
atm, i've only been to x16 (?), where i first had to kill the banditleader for the 2nd key that i could use in the basement of that factory and when i came back to the surface, the factory was under attack by the militairy

Bjossi on 25/7/2007 at 20:05

Those are the X18 labs you're talking about there.
