S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Builds 1254 and 1265 (December 2002)

The recent build dump included four builds in the 1200 range, dating from the last months of 2002. These display a series of incremental changes over build 1154, including an early implementation of dedicated multiplayer. Variations of the Agroprom are the standard levels in these builds.

Build 1230 (November 12th, 2002) introduces the ability to pick up and drop weapons. It is otherwise similar to build 1154, and for reasons of redundancy was not included in this video.

Build 1233 (November 15th, 2002) has so far refused to cooperate.

Build 1254 (December 6th, 2002) offers a slight improvement on picking up and dropping items, demonstrated here.

Build 1265 (December 17th, 2002) supports network play with two teams. It includes an equipment buying mechanic influenced by Counter-Strike.
