S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shader Mod

Posted by: Regeneration on: 04/25/2007 10:45 PM [ Print | 9 comment(s) ] · 6506 views

The Float32 modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernoby has been released this morning, which beefs up the already impressive graphics in GSC Game World's first-person shooter. This mod adds full reflection vector calculations, better bump mapping, real specular effects! All this detail improvement costs nothing in framerate and you will get 20% better framerate than before if not more! Shadows are soft and no longer jagged and the overall graphical quality has been vastly improved.

You think 18 mins is bad?

You must have never used the shithole known as fileplanet.

I Googled the file name and found a link the creator posted in a forum. It's a small file.

Couldn't wait on 3Dgamers. :/

Ah, I see another link is posted above now.

The guy responsible for the instructions did a pretty poor job of explaining how to install this "MOD" considering the importance of this.

I am a little confused myself, as, if you simply unpack the zip file to the stalker directory, all you will get is a folder named "FLOAT32_4247_036a_RELEASE" and I can bet my bottom dollar you won't get it to work doing that !!!

He does not explain what to do with the USER.ltx file. This should be located under "C :Documents and SettingsAll UsersShared DocumentsSTALKER-SHOC". No point putting in the stalker directory coz it ain't gunna do nothin in there. And using his does nothing but screw all your existing key bindings, graphic settings etc up anyway.

I gave it ago and can't see anything different. I tried various directories for the files and followed the same guidelines I have used when installing other mods which BTW have worked. So I am guessing I am not doing it correctly either. Unless of course its just a crock of SH$T

Maybe someone who can write instructions properly should explain it.

I did exactly the same as you did and...with no positive results at all! And I think that I agree with you in one thing too: It's a crock of SH$T! Thanks anyway, man! Best Regards!

Ok. I've spend 30 minutes trying to install this mod. Actually not to install, to run the game. First you have to edit in fsgame.ltx this line
$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
second one should be true.
But after starting game I've received error that my X1800XT doesn't support shaders 1.1 :)
So I've looked again in readme.txt. And found last line on bad Russian.
