Thanks Toxa666, so I learned about the Lost Alpha mod from the Deodor team
responsible for the history of the surf. Here's what is known about the
Lost fashion today Alpha: New mod from Deodor 15:47
Every Stalker remembers the wonderful Priboi Story mod from Deodor's comrade. Now the team has begun to create a full-fledged return to the game of old locations, monsters, the spirit of that Stalker that we have all been waiting for. It should be added that the team is now finishing work on Priboi Story 1.2, which is undoubtedly pleasing.
In March, Deodor switches completely to the Lost Alpha mod.
Information from Dezodor:
Have you ever dreamed of a bygone, long-forgotten Stalker, a dream game?
Remember the screenshots from 2002, we were then amazed at the work of GSC. The old design, the stunning atmosphere of the desert zone, we could not believe our eyes then. Later, in late 2005 and early 2006, something changed. Evil Dean Sharp, team change or maybe just a burned-out railway? who knows. A complete redesign of all levels was carried out, some of them became much smaller and simpler (quite good, but incomparable with the original ones), and some were completely removed from the game. After the release in 2007, we played this for a long time and a lot and realized that something was wrong, some locations were missing, monsters were cut, the gameplay was changed.
We endlessly discussed this on all forums, sat at computers at night and spent it practically a whole year. Today we can finally say that we have almost a complete picture of all the levels of GSC of that time, piece by piece we collected screenshots, videos, materials and can now restore the game a dream! We decided to completely redo these unforgettable levels, to convey that atmosphere and restore the same old favorite stalker, the game of a dream !, but we will also go further and surpass GSC!
! We are changing the name of our project from "back to the roots" to "lost alpha" in order to preserve the spirit of that time!

Dezodor's official website:
http://priboi-story.extra.hu/
wrote a letter to Dez and asked a few questions
1) Will there be dynamic anomalies?
2) Will art spawn be implemented when mutants get into anomalies?
3) Will an almost non-scripted, free Alife be in vogue?
4) What do they think about Pripyat (correction, etc.)
5) How about military special forces patrols?
Answers from Deza:
1.anomalies will appear in group like in clear sky (anomaly zones) and it will be hard to get inside, and you will only find artifact inside the anomaly zone. The anomalies disappear after 10-15minutes after the blowout, so you will need to hurry and look for artifacts. It will be hard to find them, but thats more realistic. When the anomalies disappear, you can explore the full map, so no restriction will be.
2. I dont know, what is the connection of mutant and artifact. maybe it was just some test to see if anomaly spawn works or not. we will use the old method as i described in 1. answer.
3. Alife is good question. If we totally unrestrict it, it will be boring, so there will be some restriction, but there will be wandering stalkers like originally planned. They will go to trader, pick up task, and wander, collect items, artifacts, or just go to an other "smart terrain" then later come back.
4. We planned to edit it, but currently we dont have more resource for more levels. We will be happy if we can finish those we first planned. We only have 1 modeler, and 1 level designer (me), so we cant make 100000 maps with this capacity :)
5. Military patrols planned, also helicopter patrols.
Translation:
1) Anomalies will appear in groups like in the Clear Sky (whole anomalous zones)
There will be an artifact in the center of the zone, but it will be difficult to get there, the anomalies disappear 10-15 minutes after the release, so the player should hurry up to have time to collect the swag, after the disappearance of the anomalous zone, you can explore the area without restrictions
2) "I don’t know what is the connection between the artifacts and mutants, maybe it was an artifact spawn test, we will use the old method given above "
3)" It's a good question if you make a completely non-scripted alife, it will be boring (I doubt it))
But our stalkers will roam the Zone (as it was once planned) , go to the merchant, take quests, collect artifacts and items, travel around smart teraines) "
4) "We are planning to edit Pripyat, but at the moment we do not have enough manpower, we would be happy to finish the already planned levels, we only have one Modeler and one Level Designer (Des), so while we cannot make more maps
5) Planned military and helicopter patrols
with Des communicated, he asked me to ask questions through me or at the address of the
shopping mall on their website Contact us is buggy
I again asked Des questions:
1) do they use build materials
And is it possible to return some chips from them (for example, Kiss bloodsucker, interesting scripts and so on
2) Is it possible to return the famous waves of mutates?
Answers:
1. we will try to restore "krovosos kiss" and other nice anims. we will check 2215 scripts too.
2.mutant wave like in that old video is scripted event (they only made it for the video), we can do some, so its not problem. besides if we are at army wh, the projectors are restored, like in the old video :)
translation:
1. "We will try to return the Kiss of the Bloodsucker and other good animations. We will also check the scripts from 2215"
2. "Waves of mutants are a scripted phenomenon, so this is not a problem, besides, we have returned the searchlights as in the old videos
, Dez said that he would try to find a compromise in the time of the disappearance of the anomalies, the time would be increased
Greetings, Dezodor.
I have some questions concerning project Lost Alpha.
1. How many locations will be in game?
2. Whether you will use and insert into game such locations as Limansk, the Thrown Hospital, the Dark Cordon, Bogs?
3. Whether all groupings remain in game - Freedom, the Duty, the Monolith and so on?
4. Whether you will insert new groupings: the Sin, the Clear sky, Renegades?
5. What physics will be in game? In my opinion the best and not braking physics in build 2215.
6. Whether you change a plot as in Priboy Story or will leave old plot Oblivion Lost?
7. Whether there will be a full Russified version?
With best wishes, Chris.
Translation:
1. How many locations will there be in the game?
2. Will such locations as Limansk, Abandoned Hospital, Dark Cordon and Swamps be used and inserted?
3. Will all groups remain - Debt, Freedom, Monolith and others?
4. Will you add new factions to the game - Sin, Clear Sky, Renegades?
5. What physics will be in the game? In my opinion, the best and most inconsistent physics was in build 2215.
6. Will you change the plot like in the Surf Story or keep the old one from Oblivion Lost?
7. Will there be a complete Russification of the game?
ANSWERS:
hello,
1.here is the complete levels list:
cordon (remake)
garbage (remake)
agroprom (shoc)
agr_u (shoc)
darkvalley (remake)
x18 (shoc)
bar (shoc)
rostok (shoc)
yantar (remake)
brainlab (shoc)
military (shoc)
deadcity (remake)
radar (shoc)
bunker (shoc)
pripyat (shoc)
stancia (remake)
sarcofag (shoc)
generators (remake)
warlab (shoc)
darkscape (remake)
swamp (remake)
rostok factory (remake)
2. Limansk, hospital and we do not use the red forest, but if the people want, we will make them to counter.
3. They will be redone. Well, like the old ones.
4. Clear sky, Sin, Renegades will be, as they were in the old Stalker.
5. We cannot remake physics, we use PM physics, but we will remake hanging lamps, spotlights, cameras - it will still be cool.
6. We are trying to restore the old plot, but we add our ideas as well.
7. Perhaps, since Lost alpha is more popular on Russian sites, since many English / Americans do not know about an ordinary stalker, therefore they are not interested in LA.
To lokkie
So did you read it or not? Coming in Q4 2009!
Now the team of Dezodor is finishing work on the second part of the
Story of Surf mod, and from March they will come to grips with the Alpha Lost addon mod.
And I didn't even understand, everyone was so eager for Oblivion Lost, they were looking for builds ... and what, no one is interested in this wonderful news?
why isn’t interesting then ... everything is interesting, it’s too long to wait
Throw you into the clear sky in fashion. There are more people there. Or leave a link on this page.
Okay, wait .. The main thing is that it’s not in vain ... The fate of the stalker is such a long time waiting for something))))
Uraaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!! Oblivion Lost is back !!!!!!! Can these guys create their own company?
PS DOLGOEB - tell me, will it be in Russian? Will there be voice acting (in the sense of story missions)? If so, what is the old one (from the work of GSC) or theirs (they will invent it themselves)? And the world will be without division into locations (without transitions - downloads)? Will they come up with new monsters and models of old ones, as well as models of stalkers? What about new anomalies? Are the guns finally new, or new models of the old ones?
And tell me to let Limansk and the Red Forest do it? Oh, and there will be a location - Zone Gut? Well, in general, let me know if you find out anything new (otherwise I am an ardent fan of the old stalker)
Clear sky does not roll, since the mod-addon is made on the basis of Shadow of Chernobyl.
Pavel-2.
I get information about the nuances from the same forum, and those who perfectly know INGLISH write there, so only Deodor and no one else will give accurate data. As I understand it, old LOCATIONS and textures will be returned in the MAIN LOOK, plus the atmosphere of the 2004 sample. Small details such as monster anomalies, etc. have been pushed back to the third plan, but something special will surely be done. The translation of the mod addon will most likely be amateur, although information has slipped through that there is a Russian in the Deodor team, but not a fact. As for the indivisible locations, it is unlikely, initially the game is divided into levels, hence the conclusion - not to pull Deodor into indivisibility. What is certain is that there will be no bullet holes on the bodies of NPCs and monsters, as it was in BUILDINGS, because this is written in the game engine, and this has been removed already by 2006.
For now, read it yourself, too, I can not always update, do not abandon the topic. We are waiting for October-December 2009.
And Deodor is working, the list of locations is:
Dead City (95% complete)
Generators (design status)
Swamp (10% complete)
Yantar (design status)
Garbage (30% complete)
Darkscape (30% complete)
Cordon (50%)
Rostok Factory (100% completed)
Before that there were:
- Dead City (90% Completed)
- Generators (In Progress )
- Swamp (10% Completed)
- Yantar (In Progress)
- Garbage (20% Completed)
- Darkscape (30% Completed)
- Cordon (In Progress )
- Rostok Factory (100% Completed)
Dezodor registered on the stalker portal, here is his message.
hello, greetings to you too. sorry, i can only write in english, because my mate who usually translates for me is offline.
please, if you would like to ask, do not use translator, its impossible to understand it, translators are not perfect: S so please write on russian, and my mate will help me to understand, or i know darkman too, he might help too :)
Sniper debt,
process is slow, because first we want to release priboi 1.2 with rostok level. when the ps 1.2 is released, we will work with full speed on lost alpha. currently we are finishing the last building in deadcity:
http://chernobyl.extra.hu/house_1.jpg
http://chernobyl.extra.hu/house_2.jpg
http://chernobyl.extra.hu/house_3.jpg
we now have interior for it, and the text on the roof will be added later (it was remade)
when the house is done, we plan to finalize the terrain, and compile a medium, and i will post screen or video (or both ) (but this will need 2more weeks)
after deadcity is done, we move to garbage, which is 30% ready, so we will need 1 month to fnish it. Then comes generators, then yantar, and swamp. i almost forgot darkscape, it has terrain, and it will be ready fast. however with current speed, it will be hard to finish it in 2009. so maybe in 2010 if we dont find perfect modelers, who work nice and fast :)
Beetle,
can you show some reference work (images) you use max or maya?
NORDSmen,
what do you mean on "old upgrade"? can you show me some images? thanks :)
- Alcohol -,
thanks :) im always here, but i dont know if i can post on english or not. if moderators allow it, then i will be happy to post here news when i can.
I'm not a specialist in these matters, but I think that it's easier to rewrite the engine than to extract and push into the release. Although, nothing is impossible in the world. People just say that in build 2215 there are remnants of such scripts, and so on that it's simple. Well, for example. There was a script like stalkers go to the toilet in a bar, or something like that. In general, the plot and gameplay were completely different than in Shadows of Chernobyl.
Right now I downloaded the RED FOREST level, remade for Shadows of Chernobyl, launched a new game, ran, it’s so cool, only the colors are slightly faded. But people are doing things. And it makes me happy.
DOLGOEB - and these scripts, features, etc. from build 2215 and other sources will be in vogue?
