anomalies cut out of game??

[rioc]

hey all...
in an other stalker forum, I read that someone found some config files for some anomalies, which aren't in the game anymore...
the most interesting one is the time-shift anomaly... (or so), where the time goes slower than usual... (also the anomaly creating the mama's beads artifact)...

plus they mentioned one, where there's no damage involved, but theres almost no gravity...
I noticed that that one wasn't missing, cause I encounteret a 0-gravity field at agroprom...

so I'm now asking, has anybody encountered a time-shift anomaly??
aaaand, would it be possible to have more of them in the game?? (second question directed at all you modders )

There are no "time shift" anamolies as you describe them. Yes, it would be very possible to create new anamolies, just reskin some sprites and new sounds for the swirl up, in, out, etc.

BTW, you do know that a hell of a lot of stuff was cut from STALKER. Not limited to anamolies, but levels, weapons, etc things. I feel it's highly unlikely a patch will bring back these things. I think it will be up the modder community to do this, if it chooses to do so.

well, yeah... that's what I was going out for...

yeah, I know a whole lot got cut... but who know's, cause I just encountered one of those 0-grav anomalies once, and I've been playing a long time... so could be that the time thing is rare too...

hmm, create anomalies instead of just re-enabling the cut ones... that sounds nice...

does the zero grav one you talk about involve throwing people into the air and then blowing them up? cuz ive seen that one at work.

[rioc]

nono.... plus, there are different ones which suck you up...

the one you mean, where you get pulled up high into the air is the whirling anomaly... and then there's also Vortex wich is lower to the ground, but mostly stronger...

the zero grav however doesn't do any damage to player or npc at all... it's just a "biggish" area where there's no gravity...

DO NOT TRUST THE section about anomalies that create artefacts THAT MUCH most of the time artefacts appear even without the presence of an anomaly (but sometimes radiation)

i've even found droplet artefacts which should appear in the fire anomalies near a vortex anomaly...
i think artefacts SPAWN randomly after u go out of an area and reload that area again.... but after u take the first trip the artefacts spawn lesser and slower

i only get my artefacts mostly from dead corpses , stashes and crazy ones that jus stay ther with totally no radiation and anomaly nearby.
