The files compared do exist and they look very similar to the comparison shots after checking the unpacked texture files and viewing the ones that were compared.
I don't really see much of a problem and i'm sure they'll just release a patch or similar to fix it unless ID and Valve choose to be more aggressive about it.

It surely is no april fools joke, cuz the person pulling such a joke would be the target of a very very serious lawsuit, sites advocating this would be a target for some hefty fines as well. So I am presuming this defenitely is no april fools joke. Reason I also think that this story is very well true is when you compare the sewers in Stalker to the outdoor environment, when I first went into the sewers the textures were simply gorgeous and it did remind me of that greenish glow and stuff I saw in Half Life, many pipes etc do look very similar. Outdoor and indoor are 2 diff games to me, outdoor is jucky while indoor looks sweet.

Why don't you all go fuck yourself a bit with the 'russian' remarks? The fucking ukrainians stole some files and you blame it all on russia? How smart.

Russians or Ukranians, its all the same, I once went on vacation there(city called Saratov and its surrounding area). I had a rental car, I stopped for gass for like 2 minutes, went inside to buy a pack of cigarettes before I started filling her up and I lost all 4 hubcaps to my rental car, thats what I call some skilled robbers, they should hire these guys for the F1 pitcrew, they can dismantle and steal shit faster than superman:ROFL: And now this.

It is not all the same, there is a tension between Ukraine and Russia since the fall of USSR, we dont get along too well. So yeah i wouldnt say its the same. And if you wanna blame someone, blame the fuckin company, why bring in their nationality.

why blame a company when people can just blame it on their nationality  The game was release and no one gave a shit or anything about the textures. now that someone discovered this it's OMG STOLEN TEXTURES THIS GAME SUCKS!!! Seriously, get over it. Their just textures. Woulda taken them another year to get this game out if they made their own which woulda had the chance of sucking hardcore.
So my proposal to you all, stop whining get over it and stop being so damned racist or I'll have redbull send a scud missile to your front doors.

stop the bullshit. the game release doesn't depend on a couple of textures. anyone who's in game development will tell you that it takes a dozen minutes to make that water texture.
very often people use some already made stuff for the so called 'research' or experimentation phase when working on those water shaders etc. so maybe later they just forgot to replace the dummy taken from HL2 with they own texture.

Saying what they [allegedly] did is no big deal is just as retarded as bringing their nationality into it.

Russian devs always get the shit here. I understand they dont make the best games, but on every topic with Russian games, some asshole has to comment about their nationality or nation as a whole. I hated Gothic for its bugs, but not once i thought i should blame German nation, or just talking shit about Germans, only the devs should be blamed.

theft of what? . a couple of images among thousands of self-made textures?
don't you just get it that a game this size has hundreds of folders (unpacked), several thousand files. those D3 and HL2 textures could've been used a couple of years ago for testing reasons and haven't been deleted afterwards. they are not even 'active' in the game, probably.
but once again before calling anyone thieves think of this:
a dozen easy to make textures VS thousands of other unique ones.
theft? r you sure?

only if they're used in the game and not just lying there in that folder.
the most important thing is to acknowledge that people have made a fucking ton of unique game content and calling them thieves because of a couple of displacement maps that even I can make in two photoshop clicks is just stupid.

I do hope for GSC that the textures are not stolen since that could be a major setback for them. I think S.T.A.L.K.E.R is a good game with great potential. With all the mods in the works its already a better game. When the SDK gets released we will probably see major changes in the game. Also remember that now when the game is released, has sold so well we will hopefully see some fully fledged patches which will expand game-areas, make some code better and several other changes.
With the SDK available we will probably see some vehicle mods in the end too. Maybe someone will even create a co-op mod. All this could be ruined if this was found to be true (also very depending on how Valve and ID Software reacts of course).
Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

I dont know about the vehicles anymore. I mean originally i thought its gonna be like oblivion where you got the whole map without loadings. But now that its broken up into smaller peices, it would be like driving for 5 seconds...loading..driving for 5 seconds..loading, it'd be just annoying. IT takes about 20 seconds of running to cross one map. Unless ofcourse vehicles will be equiped with lazer guns, or at least gatling gun.
