[buoyant siren]

or digital im talking about phyival

[dire dagger]

the edition just comes with a code

[buoyant siren]

lets hope cause the page dont say so look at this

nvm i cant share pics

[dire dagger]

if it didn't that would very likely be illegal

[sand fiber]

homophobia

[dire dagger]

its just not

[buoyant siren]

it also would be greedy

[dire dagger]

but ok

[dire dagger]

but i wouldn't worry about it

id bet 50 bux even

that its the same

[buoyant siren]

i hope so the change on page and pic removed any mention of these

just mention camp fire and cosmetic

[dire dagger]

hmmmm

[hexed yoke]

Did some Googling and it said they can spawn in future areas but I feel like by that point it will be useless

[dire dagger]

well i don't work for gsc so i can't give you a definitive answer

im just a janitor

i do not get paid

[hexed yoke]

There’s also a unique area I found a quest for but idk how to get more info on it

[pseudo rivet]

It can spawn in any type of chemical anomaly, not just there

[hexed yoke]

And I think I messed up any chance of joining a faction because I sold all of the data pads for money lmao

[pseudo rivet]

Well, you technically can't join a faction in CoP

[hexed yoke]

I didn’t realise some of them were necessary, but it’s fine as I can just do a lone wolf run for first time I guess

[pseudo rivet]

You can go for Man of Balance, though

[hexed yoke]

I’ll try to do that unless I miss any steps

[dire dagger]

i mean when i play cop i befriend freedom then kill every single hostile enemy until the map is empty

ik it sucks you can't actually win

[sand fiber]

with SRP you can :333333333333333

which is SO satisfying after 3 playthroughs of trying to force them on the objective

[dire dagger]

Might have to try that out

i want to kill them all

[obsidian trail]

Congratulations ! You've earned the respect of every chemical element;including me

[mossy sorrel]

Will they add girl frotting to stalker 2?

[dense hatch]

isn't it just frotting regardless of what parties are involved

[mossy sorrel]

Adding girl as an adjective makes everything 100x cooler

I'm gonna go take a girl nap

I'm gonna drink some girl soup

I'm gonna sit in my girl chair and take my girl pills

Go, discuss your girl game woman from funger

[dense hatch]

oh like girldinner

[sand fiber]

Jekan mods be like

[mossy sorrel]

Yeah you get it

[dense hatch]

fair enough

[hazy helm]

everytime I go to this channel it gets worse

[mossy sorrel]

I don't know why I ask stalker series has a total of like one female character lol

[dense hatch]

it has one?

[hazy helm]

there are no female characters in all 3 stalker games, this is diff for Stalker 2

[sand fiber]

this is the future of stalker community

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/leon-kennedy-resident-evil-re4-dies-dies-from-cringe-gif-26283396

[mossy sorrel]

It has very little which would imply most characters in the franchise have done it with a man

[sand fiber]

and it's looking great

[mossy sorrel]

So...stalker Is a yaoi game confirmed???

[hazy helm]

what a fucking weirdo

[dense hatch]

there's a freedom and duty couple in SoC so it could be true

[sand fiber]

literally yes

[dense hatch]

there's nothing saying it isn't

[sand fiber]

they will add Hip to S2.......

[hazy helm]

just so i can kill her all over again? they shouldnt have

one day, I will meet her creator, and slap him across his face bc his fanfic sucks

[sand fiber]

bold of you to assume you'll be able to kill essential characters in S2

[mossy sorrel]

Yeah I doubt it

Wondering if vore will be in stalker 2

[hazy helm]

keep talking and Im muting you

[mossy sorrel]

Zleep zlorp

[sand fiber]

yes i agree they should add some girl from OP 2.2 with a model of Jill from re6 💅

[mossy sorrel]

They will be adding Islam to stalker 2 inshallah

Also puppygirls

[dense hatch]

the two main additions

[mossy sorrel]

Omg omegaverse stalker???

[dense hatch]

I'm leaving

[indigo marsh]

This is literally a nozar alt

[mossy sorrel]

Huge!!!!!!!!!

I'm not an alt just very very mentally disturbed

[dense hatch]

I don't care about anything but the omegaverse comment

[sand fiber]

not true i don't talk about puppygirls nearly as much

[hazy helm]

another one of your zoomer adjectives randomly thrown without substance and Im givving a mute

[sand fiber]

anyway i think they should add puppygirls to stalker 2

[hazy helm]

I think your ISP should rescind you access to the internet

[dense hatch]

this server would be more boring than it already is

there's no fun discussion, no interesting topics

[sand fiber]

clear lack of mentally ill furry pupthings

[dense hatch]

I understand about 45% of that sentence

[worn oar]

Wack

Bro really got some screws loose

[dense hatch]

I know, what did they do to deserve being muted

mod is powertripping

[worn oar]

Not heeding warning

And trolling

[dense hatch]

I can't believe the mod would do this

[worn oar]

Anyway, good night stalkers

[jade berry]

So in stalker call of pripyat, you need to get the research assistant achievement in order to get the "Ecologist polymer" bodysuit and the "Evacuator" bodysuit upgrades from Novikov. I got the achievement and i still cant upgrade them. Any help?

[stuck pewter]

on a real note, if they added americans to S2 im buying it

like some redneck with a big ol flag and a huge gut

so basically a dead rising character

[narrow tartan]

cats standing brings me joy

[native sparrow]

When is Stalker 3 coming out

[celest blaze]

2025

[native sparrow]

Say less

Do we know if stalker 2 will feature stalkers or is that NDA

[lethal orchid]

I can't believe experienced role already puts me in the top 500 of stalkers in this server

[stuck pewter]

yup

70K members and only like 20 regulars in en-stalker and en-offtop

double that number to account for the UA chats and you still only reach about 50

[dense hatch]

it's quite strange

discord servers can have thousands of members or dozens and there's always only like 5-10 active people

130 members?

20 people who actually talk consistently

300?

like 8

[indigo marsh]

It is probably because this is a big official server for a game

[celest goblet]

Depends on the kind of server and community but yeah not that uncommon

[indigo marsh]

Also smaller servers can be made of friends or have like a cozier vibe that leads to greater activity

[lethal orchid]

Am I a recognizable recurring character at this point?

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. The guy who was struggling with the RttZ skulls for at least 2 months and solved it just today

[lethal orchid]

Lmao

One day I'll become a legend

Just you wait

(I will get banned at the end of the 6th chapter and some guy you don't care about will take my place, then his ending in two chapters will be crap as well)

[dense hatch]

yooo true stalker reference

[spring apex]

mid stalker

[lethal orchid]

Writers had 1 job bruh

[dire dagger]

True stalker mid

[lethal orchid]

The environment is awesome

[dense hatch]

that's it

[lethal orchid]

But they removed a life for some damned reason, and made the story annoying at parts

[dense hatch]

also emissions

[lethal orchid]

The story itself was not bad until the end

[dense hatch]

and the sidequests are kinda annoying

[lethal orchid]

That too

[dense hatch]

and so is getting tools

[lethal orchid]

Idk many were neat

[cyan canopy]

(not) true stalker

[dense hatch]

there's a couple good ones but there's also "go back and forth a couple times"

and it's just built on gunslinger which is kinda meh

[lethal orchid]

They made the Aks bad

a travesty

[zinc sun]

Anyone know the arguments for the sv_setweather console command in CotZ? I've tried sunny, clear, rainbows- all give me error messages.

[zinc sun]

@wraith socket if anyone knows the answer, it is you.

[fluid abyss]

I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2 lately and ngl, one of my biggest gripes with the game is that I can see the limitations they put on the game in favor of putting the game on consoles.

Mainly, it's the fact that the bodies of killed NPCs will default to a generic death pose the moment you look away from them. It's rather unsatisfying seeing all of the ragdoll-death enemies be shown as 1 of 3 generic death poses by the time I get to them to loot them.

I hope Stalker 2 doesn't do the same, and "remembers" precise (or approximate) ragdoll positions instead of making them take on a generic pose.

[wraith socket]

This is impressive for how much time you took writing this and choosing all the emoticons. 😜

[wraith socket]

I had a friend help me with the weather when he first convinced me to try CotZ. All I remember is it is hidden unlike CoC. I went through and removed most of the fog as much as I could. That was several years ago.

[lilac lily]

Sorry to disappoint, but I merely found and reposted the copypasta here

[runic elm]

Hey chat, do we know how much the Ultimate Physical Edition will be?

[lilac lily]

Probably more than two quid

[runic elm]

[worn oar]

Try using the help command in consol. It should brig you up all commands

I don't remember the specific weather command myself, but it's something lik cfg_weather cloudy- rainy- etc..

I'll also recommend asking in mods channel, perhaps there you might find what you seek.

[worn oar]

No details has been shared concerning this matter. Keep an eye out on the announcements and pre-order channels in case anything new comes to light.

[runic elm]

Hoping it comes out soon tho, need to know how much to save :3

[runic elm]

kk!

[worthy lagoon]

#🖤┃s2-pre-order

Doesnt say the price, otherwise I wouldnt have asked :3

[finite dragon]

Wish all the Gs here a freaky day, be well STALKERZ

[fair haven]

Hey guys, I was wondering. I wanna see about getting back into stalker. I already own the trilogy on steam but not the remastered trilogy that just came out. Is it worth to play the original and if so any QoL mods I should get to make the game feel more modern?

[hazy helm]

SRP is a patch only experience

[spring apex]

the new remastered trilogy is for consoles, though. thats even has proper bugfixes the pc version does not have

[hazy helm]

they should leave the PC ver unchanged

[lilac lily]

What do you mean by more modern? Just QoL and bugfixes or something that also changes the visuals, gunplay and such?

For the former you have ZRP, SRP and PRP, for SoC, CS and CoP respectively

They work with visuals mods like Absolute Nature and Atmosfear

[fair haven]

So an example I have is being able to save with just a button click instead of going into the menu every time would be a QoL fix, I'm sure there are more id want but I haven't play SoC in years

But I'll check out ZRP

[lilac lily]

You can already do that, quicksave with F5 (It could be bound to F6 by default) or by opening the console ( ~ key) and typing "save [save name]"

[fair haven]

I had no clue haha

[lilac lily]

You have this mod that has a ZRP patch
https://www.moddb.com/mods/mariweaponpack

[fair haven]

Okay cool

[worn oar]

#🤨┃stalker_memes message
Yes, we will

@wraith socket

[hazy helm]

The original game supports quick saves natively

It is always recommended to play the game vanilla first

[opaque parrot]

Everyone should play vanilla first, we could skip the part where they might ask what happened after Strelok and his group defeated Eidolon

[runic elm]

Anyone going to PAX aus this year on Saturday? If you are, look out for me, I’ll be cosplaying as a random stalker

[hexed yoke]

I’m having trouble finding a svarog detector in cop

I only need it for the science guys

Okay I now know I need veiled detectors which I’ve handed one in, I know where the other is, but I’d really rather not hand in my veles detector

[spring apex]

in my playthrough, one veles from bloodsucker lair cleaning mission, one from certain stash.

ironically after siding with loner stalkers, owl himself sells them infinitely lol. so i buy the last one from him

[clever needle]

I think the scientist technical in jupiter gives u one after you work with beard to give him 3 veles detectors

After you give them to the technical you hace to wait

And he'll give u a svarog

[hexed yoke]

Oh right, my current problem is I’m certain I remember giving him one, already, but there’s no option to give him the 2 I have so I’m confused

[clever needle]

Idk if technical is correct

[clever needle]

Idk then

Ask someone else because idk, I handed him 3 directly

[hexed yoke]

Oh

I guess it can only be handed in with 3 then, I just need to find one more

[karmic vale]

Hello stalkers

[hexed yoke]

I got one from killing one of the stalkers earlier on in the game, and I got the one from the excavator, do you know where I can find a 3rd?

[karmic vale]

I have a few theories

[clever needle]

Nope, I think I bought it or I just got it with a spawnmenu, I dont remember

[karmic vale]

It appears that the c-con is alive still ( blinking green tube lights) and maybe one of the new factions is a monolith defector faction lead by strider and opposed by faust.

[hexed yoke]

The only other one google is telling me about is one of the guys you do quests with for the scientist this is becoming wack

Jeez one of the scientists thankfully had one in his inventory when I checked this time around

[rocky trellis]

For thos dectectors, other than one time spawns you can also buy them from scientists or get them by killing stalkers that are hunting artifacts

One profitable way to find one is quick saving near Beard, then picking one of the artifact missions. If the marker is moving, you'll probably find both a free artifact and a detector

reload to try all of them

[hexed yoke]

Yeah I got it done, I bought one from the scientist, and then I completed his field scan with topov and he gave me one as a mission reward as well

[hexed yoke]

My current problem is getting a koblok artifact as I already scavenged the one at the claw for money, so I’m really struggling with finding another as I was told it doesn’t regenerate which is very annoying, I’ve looked at many Chem anomalies and can’t find a single one, Google also isn’t being helpful on this matter

[rocky trellis]

It's not a unique artifact so you should find another one eventually. I've had 2 of them + gave 1 to scientists on a save

[hexed yoke]

Oh from what people were saying it’s somewhat unique, do you remember where you found the other two? I’ve not progressed further than what I think is yantar

[rocky trellis]

apparently Beard sells them as well after giving him compass

that quaranteed one time spawn is unique though. It should still appear randomly in other anomalies

[hexed yoke]

I think I’ve checked beards inventory already and he doesn’t have one, I can’t be bothered to spend another 10 hours checking every anomaly tbh

Will the scanners Ive set up tell me if there’s a koblok in the anomalies where the scanners are?

[rocky trellis]

Don't recall if it says any of them by name, just that if there's any or how many of them there are? It's been a while since I checked a scanner tho

[hexed yoke]

Also I think I messed up my chanace to get either man of peace or the leader achievments 😂

[spring apex]

not gonna specify what artifacts are there. its just "hey there is artifacts here"

[hexed yoke]

I am not good at stalker games but my god they’re still good

[rocky trellis]

Common mistakes for first time, or even 2nd

[hexed yoke]

Brother it tells you the exact artifacts that are their

If there’s artifacts that have spawned in said area

[spring apex]

for real? like when you hover at them through pda?

send screenshot

[hexed yoke]

Yup

[hexed yoke]

Pm or in channel

[rocky trellis]

You got trilogy? I really have to wonder if there is a chance they changed that for it. But also very possible we both remember it wrong 😂

[spring apex]

#📸┃screens_and_videos

[hexed yoke]

Yeah Im pretty sure I got all 3 as a bundle

It’s just not telling me where koblok are, unless none have spawned

[hexed yoke]

Yeah

But I’m still struggling to find a Damn koblok

[hexed yoke]

I was able to buy a kobolok after sorting out the dispute owl starts with beard

[half yoke]

when the hoes find out you got a kobolobobok

[toxic spade]

Hey im still trying to decide if i should get SoC and CoP on sale or wait for Trilogy sale, can anyone tell me if you can put attachments on your guns or something like that in SoC?

[hazy helm]

Wait for the autumn fall sale where the trilogy should go for 10-15

[naive moth]

Any one got the pda ping ? As a sound file

[toxic spade]

Sry forgot to mention i talk about the ps5 version, i dont think it will go so low, soc and cop are 14€ each rn on sale

[rocky trellis]

14€ on sale? 14 each is almost the full price on steam

[naive moth]

No?

Clear sky yeah but not soc

[rocky trellis]

ALMOST and it's average

14 a piece would be 42€

Full price on steam for all 3 of them is 46€

[naive moth]

Not for me? Soc is like 20 and clear is 15 and cop is 19

[rocky trellis]

How do you have higher prices? you're looking something wrong

and SoC being higher than CoP makes 0 sense

[naive moth]

Cop is like 19.99

[rocky trellis]

so 20. clear sky 10 and CoC 16

[naive moth]

Soc yeah clear is 15 and coc 20/19

[hexed yoke]

Have a look on CD keys

[naive moth]

Why?

[hexed yoke]

Look on CD keys might be cheaper

[naive moth]

I buyed all stalker game since like a year

[hexed yoke]

Wrong person, but CD keys usually has games for less than what’s on Xbox/PSN store

[naive moth]

Mhh

[hexed yoke]

Has steam keys too but if heard steam prices are already good

[naive moth]

Yeah but 20 euros for soc is kinna crazy bth

[rocky trellis]

I'll post a screenshot and you post yours. There gotta be something wrong somewhere

[naive moth]

K

[toxic spade]

Maybe because you guys use different currency?

[rocky trellis]

we both have euro? Which is why the price should be exactly same

[naive moth]

I live in france btw

[rocky trellis]

Finland

[toxic spade]

Ah okay

[rocky trellis]

posted in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[toxic spade]

Any of your country has tax on games?

[naive moth]

Mhh wait finland is in the euro zone?

I dont think

[rocky trellis]

yes, been for... almost 20 years

[naive moth]

Huh

[rocky trellis]

oh wait not that long

[naive moth]

How long?

[rocky trellis]

wait nvm longer. I keep forgetting since I was very young when we joined Euro, 25 years. Since January 1999

[naive moth]

Dam

[toxic spade]

I see the same price as you on steam

[naive moth]

French?

[toxic spade]

Nah german

[naive moth]

Mhh maybe it something to do with the eu

[rocky trellis]

It's possible that steam has somehow messed up the price. For Euro the price is basically always with tax included

and same for all countries

[naive moth]

But dam your price are cheap

[toxic spade]

Have you seen countrys like canada?😅

[rocky trellis]

meant all countries with Euro

[toxic spade]

They have high prices and tax on top at checkout

[rocky trellis]

Yea, herd Canda is not cool when it comes to prices

[hazy helm]

Casting stones from a glass house rn

[rocky trellis]

And my country has fairly high taxes, which makes it even weirder how I'd have lower prices than in France

oh went to check and somehow France is even higher... one of us! one of us!

[toxic spade]

Why? I know a few canadians who rage about that all the time, we have tax on everything yeah but not that high prices and tax is not on top at checkout its a fairly known issue

[hazy helm]

typical German doesn't get the joke

[toxic spade]

Ha

[rocky trellis]

Oh well. If you ever feel bad about bad prices for video games, you can always look at prices of Nintendo. Good luck ever seeing a discount

[naive moth]

does any have the pda ping as a sound file?

[earnest bear]

Will the price for other contrys also go up or only ukraine and two more ?

[rocky trellis]

Not in many countries. It's mostly countries that have lower prices due to regional pricing

[marsh dome]

trailer today ?

[naive moth]

maybe

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[naive moth]

thank ig?

[naive fog]

You too Ranjid

[naive fog]

I think I have it somewhere

[hexed yoke]

Let’s go I’ve made it into Pripyat I just need to find more info on the gauss rifle so I’m able to actually use it

[sand fiber]

ehhh you can skip CS i think but i don't suggest

[rocky trellis]

Oof... just checked and Autumn sale of steam is a week after stalker 2 comes out

[ruby warren]

If you can only play 1 I’d suggest SoC, it’s probably the most important story wise, plus the vibes are immaculate

And yes you can put attachments on guns

[rocky trellis]

I think CoP has better atmosphere. It's all about contrast between shit storm outside and comfy campfires and safety... like actually safe feeling locations

[sand fiber]

WRONG

[ruby warren]

You typed that response so fast lmaooo

[naive moth]

meh clear sky is better in comfy campfires

[sand fiber]

as a CoP defender no it doesn't??? CoP atmosphere is uh.... kinda lame and "safe", SoC vibes can't be matched in any case

[hazy helm]

SoC is better than CoP in every aspect except the fact that CoP has developed Side Quests

[ruby warren]

I like them both

[sand fiber]

Pripyat' is amazing, some moments in the other two locations also are, but overall SoC > CoP atmosphere-wise

[rocky trellis]

Except CoP is everything wrong with SoC fixed but forgot to add as good main story and instead did the skyrim instead (better side quests and in general fun just doing your own thing)

[lean quiver]

Pripyat > SoC

[naive moth]

nuh uh

[sand fiber]

ughhhh no it's nothing like that

[dense hatch]

pripyat is not the best part of SoC

[naive moth]

clear sky any one?

[hazy helm]

What did guy smoke before opening the phone

[dense hatch]

CoP is just kinda fine compared to the other two but they're all good games

[rocky trellis]

being nice and reasonable? We can't have that! Tis war

[dense hatch]

I don't like the changes to the amount of combat and the easier economy and uniques being kinda screwed up but it's a fun game on the first couple playthroughs

[ruby warren]

CoP is my favorite but I love all 3, still SoCs vibes are better though

[sand fiber]

Skyrim main quest suffers from terrible writing and just lack of interesting shit, CoP main quest is all it desires to be, it's a down-to-earth story

[dense hatch]

the sidequests get old after playing games with actually good sidequests like Fo4 and FNV

[hazy helm]

If you aren't shouting at the table during discord arguments then I'm not hearing it !!!!!!

[dense hatch]

like CoP sidequests are mostly just fine with a couple really good ones

[naive moth]

what problems

? it not a problem

[hazy helm]

How is faction warfare a prob

[dense hatch]

I think if CoP didn't have sidequests it would be kinda just ok instead of pretty good

[sand fiber]

and no CoP is not a "fixed SoC" it pains me to say this but CoP is as if a westerner tried to make SoC from memory

[ruby warren]

CoPs biggest problem imo is that pretty much no NPCs are outright hostile to you till pripyat

[sand fiber]

(vibes-wise)

[naive moth]

it like saying faction are a problem

[rocky trellis]

Not fan of Clear Sky, but still believe faction war is the best part of the game. Just wish it was done a bit differently

[naive moth]

big fan of clear sky here

[rocky trellis]

Or rather, if it was given a bit more polish

[sand fiber]

yes FW is terrible in how it's realized, surprisingly it was like this even in the docs

[ruby warren]

Everyone told me clear sky was terrible so when I got around to playing it I was pleasantly surprised, a lot more fun than what I was led to believe

[dense hatch]

that's surprisingly accurate, I agree

[naive moth]

nahhh bro

[hazy helm]

CoP could've done with SoC balancing with how boring and dead it was

The solution is not to just chuck it out of the windows
You sound like Todd Howard

[dense hatch]

that's because there's literally no warfare for most of the game

[naive moth]

no faction war were good

[dense hatch]

it goes far too hard in the opposite direction of CS with having very little human combat

[naive moth]

it make sens in the story

[dense hatch]

not an excuse for worse gameplay

[sand fiber]

no not really because it like literally doesn't affect anything

[rocky trellis]

no, instead it went to having as much human combat as you want there to be. You're just not forced to fight

[naive moth]

?? bro faction war is good

[dense hatch]

CoP has minimal human combat outside of the sidequests until pripyat if you don't side with a faction

[naive moth]

it make sens that faction are at war

[ruby warren]

Even if you side with freedom or duty it’s like 1 mission where you fight the other side lol

[dense hatch]

there's a difference between instantly having a huge advantage in any fight and actually having hard fights consistently and needing to be aware

most mutants are visible from a mile away

not a single fight in CoP up until pripyat is as difficult as even the entrance to agroprom in SoC

[naive moth]

yeah but you win

[sand fiber]

FW in CS is this purely mechanical thing you farm post mid-game to get rewards, this is WRONG, this was conjured in the minds of false prophets
what FW really should've been is a heavy RPG kinda thing where it would have actual story and could affect your path

[dense hatch]

I was talking about CoP not having any real human combat with even bandits

[ruby warren]

I know yall like to piss on free play mods but I started playing call of the zone and honestly it’s pretty fun

[rocky trellis]

a non problem. You're not able to kill them from that far without paying a high price for it for no benefit. You have the option to just keep going and take that encounter, or take a long way around.

[dense hatch]

outside of sidequests and pripyat

[dense hatch]

do you not understand how that is the problem

the issue is that the player is never really in danger 90% of the time

you don't have to worry about being shot at and mutants are easy to both kill and avoid

I was referring to starting fights with other humans which isn't automatic in zaton and requires you to join a faction in Jupiter

[rocky trellis]

they aren't any harder to kill in CoC...

[naive moth]

call of call?

[rocky trellis]

ops

[sand fiber]

call of chernobyl

[rocky trellis]

SoC obvs, wrong game (mod)

[dense hatch]

SoC at least requires combat with humans even if mutants aren't a big deal

[naive moth]

call of call fr

[dense hatch]

the mutants which were at least an annoyance turn into mostly a joke

the only exceptions are the new mutants which are decently fun

controllers are so rare they're not even an issue

I think there's only 3 guaranteed spawns and they're all in enclosed spaces

[rocky trellis]

That would be because controllers do not work out in the open, although you can find them near Yanov if you go out at night

[dense hatch]

I understand what CoP is going for with focusing on non-violent interaction, but it really takes away from the difficulty and the fps part of the game

[sand fiber]

also kinda funny the only reason we have burers and chimeras in the series is because CoP didn't have much time to do its own mutants

[dense hatch]

was CoP 10 months?

or was that CS

[sand fiber]

CS was like ughhh 2006-2008

[dense hatch]

god I love recycled assets

I didn't know they started CS development before SoC released

[rocky trellis]

At least they somehow managed to improve graphics in such short amount of time. somehow

[dense hatch]

beyond just extra stuff

[dense hatch]

it looks worse than CS straight up

[rocky trellis]

I mean CoP

[dense hatch]

CoP does

[rocky trellis]

All 3 games came in such short amount of time

[toxic spade]

I shouldnt have asked lol

[sand fiber]

yeaghhhh it was Anarchy Cell AND IT WAS BETTER
the idea for CS&CoP was literally like "let's take SoC and iterate its content adding maybe 2-3 things", CoP took a bit of a different turn though

[dense hatch]

do you have a link to where you got this beside it sounds kickass

[sand fiber]

Anarchy Cell? the docs are publicly available, wait a second

[still ridge]

Anarchy Cell is tuff asf

tbh Shadow of Chernobyl is too, sounds better than oblivion lost

[sand fiber]

[zenith sun]

i just finished shadow of chernobyl and the story is still confusing,
will the second game explain it more?

like keep refreshing the last save?

[sand fiber]

you got the true ending?

[zenith sun]

it said wish for the zone to disappear

[sand fiber]

ughhh there was a quest to talk with Guide

reload pre-Pripyat and go to Cordon

[nimble cipher]

librarianphilosopher has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rocky trellis]

My first ending was ||stonks ending 💸 ||

[sand fiber]

my first ending was the true ending because i can follow basic instructions and check for quests :3

[zenith sun]

my quests kept glitching because this is a game from 2007

?

i didnt feel like fixing them and was trying to finish the game

okay did i finish the game or not

7 endings?

[sand fiber]

no they don't, literally just check the PDA, there's a quest to meet Guide there

[nimble cipher]

librarianphilosopher has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ruby warren]

Wolf has it out for you bro

[zenith sun]

like fr

when i was pre pripyat i had skipped a quest on accident but like i had already saved my game and couldnt go back to it

[naive fog]

I thought by Guide it meant the dude who died near the anomaly tunnel who was supposed to lead you through it and the quest just never disappeared like with some others so for my first playthrough I didn't get the true ending

[zenith sun]

ive been playing this game for 9 days and i just wanna be done with it

[ruby warren]

Are you at the CNPP yet? Because if not you can go back

[zenith sun]

i finished the whole game

found the blue portal thingy, i just wanna play the next game because i bought all 3

[lilac lily]

There's a whole lot more to go through 🙂

[naive fog]

No way bro said blue portal thingy

[lilac lily]

In SoC

[ruby warren]

Then look up the true ending on YouTube and continue on man

[granite mortar]

Lmao
Get Wolf'd

[dense hatch]

so is basic hygiene

[dense hatch]

nice, thanks

[sand fiber]

pffffff

[finite dragon]

Is there a guide for how to get into modding stalker? I'm thinking of trying it out but have no idea where to go.

[sand fiber]

modding as in making mods?

might wanna ask on the C-con server

[finite dragon]

No like using and installing them.

[hazy helm]

For which game

[finite dragon]

The first I guess? This is my first time trying out the series too.

[sand fiber]

ah, okay so stalker modding doesn't work like say bethesda modding does, most of the mods are total conversion (read fangames) and standalone
unless you're talking Anomaly, in which case install MO2 and proceed

[hazy helm]

Download mod, paste the contents of the archive in the root folder, open the fsgame.ltx as notepad and find the line gamedata, change the false to true

Unless you know what you're doing don't merge mods

If it's a standalone that means OG game isn't necessary

[finite dragon]

Thanks dudes.

[elfin echo]

why can't i talk to spartacus?the game says i have to talk to him to recieve my reward

[opaque vortex]

I wonder if a life spawning will be dependent on region boarders I.e within cordon everything roams and is interacting in an online state and outside cordons boarders its in an offline state 🤔👀

[dense hatch]

did he give you a stash coordinate and tell you to talk to beard?

[elfin echo]

the problem is the game tells me to talk to spartacus for my reward but i can't talk to him

i'm doing the hit mission

[dense hatch]

you don't have a gun out and all the bandits are dead?

[elfin echo]

btw i solved this issue

just had to reload a previous save

looks like a little bug happened

Which mod is better arsenal overhaul 3.1 or gunslinger

[dense hatch]

it's mostly taste

[elfin echo]

oki

[worn oar]

Gn Brother

[elfin echo]

is misery and arsenal overhaul compatible with eachother??

[naive fog]

Gn man

[worn oar]

Check addons dedicated to that mod then. You should find the corresponding version there.

[hazy helm]

no

[elfin echo]

sadge

[worn oar]

There is a far better weapon mod tho, for misery.

The armed zone

[worn oar]

You can grab it if you wish

[elfin echo]

nah i already have arsenal overhaul

i just gotta remove misery from cop

[undone oasis]

Can’t wait for this! I got into the first one for awhile but since I can’t afford a gaming PC I’m glad it’s coming to co sole!

[finite dragon]

Does Stalker have multiplayer in it?

[naive fog]

PvP

[normal quail]

i found a battery

how much time does it takes fro artifacs to respawn?

[warm linden]

Go in agroprom underground
Witness a bandit Gmod ragdoll into the bloodsucker room for 5 minutes
Oh yep

[dense hatch]

they might be thinking of CS where it takes several hours

[warm linden]

Stalker ai can either be the most intelligent thing to exist or it can be so braindead it considers grass to be cover

[dense hatch]

SoC just has different spawns depending on environment factors that refresh artifacts which they might confuse people into thinking they respawn

[warm linden]

What does ai intelligence have to do with physics?

[warm linden]

I was so disappointed when I found out ABR CS doesn't have emissions

ABR is literally "this inconveniences me so I'm getting rid of this"

Guhhh

[dense hatch]

straight up

[warm linden]

Like
Why would they remove the ability to side with the bandits

That's a entire faction cut out of CS

[dense hatch]

because ABR is just a list of things the developer didn't like so they cut it completely

[warm linden]

ABR COP is just oh I didn't like repeatable quests
Removes the mission where you get a lockbox for a guy in skadovsk

[dense hatch]

[warm linden]

Ironically some mods claim to balance the games more but just end up making them more tedious

Oh yeah I ended up ranking freedoms base and duty's base to see which is more defendable given an attack from either side

Duty ended up winning because even though freedom has sniper towers and only two ways in and plenty of cover it's the approach that matters
Duty has HMGs covering the most critical sides

In the event of CQC combat duty absolutely balls with Exos

They only have like one sniper covering the back, plus the headquarters is right next to the wall so it's a easy breach and clear

Blow open the wall, get in and clear out the HQ before freedom can counter, thanks to all the duty soldiers nearby having Exos and heavy weapons this is a simple matter

*aside from gameplay quirks

An attack on either HQ will require a high investment of resources and manpower, although with freedom they could just abandon the barrier and let monolith in as a last resort

[finite dragon]

Ghost of tsushima sequel is announced.

[warm linden]

I'm bout to eat a mango

[elfin echo]

why are bandits hostile to me in cop??

is it because of the arsenal overhaul mod or something else??

[naive fog]

You didn't cheeki our breeki enough

[worn oar]

[warm linden]

Normally they aren't hostile
Did you kill them on sight

[warm linden]

Didn't please Sultan enough

[elfin echo]

I only killed two previously

But i've killed every single bandit i saw on my previous playthrough and they were never hostile to me

[dense hatch]

it's a mod issue

I'm fairly sure bandits are never permanently hostile in vanilla

[lean quiver]

radio killed the video star

[viscid jay]

Does anyone know who made the sin patch? Was it made by gsc or a fan that made the badge we know them by?

[dense hatch]

I think it's just fanmade

the one the wiki uses is fanmade

[viscid jay]

Yeah do we know the fan who made it I’d like to get permission to use it or the ability to buy a license to use it

I’d figure the guy wouldn’t mind but I’d like to confirm

Thanks, that’s a great lead, I’ll go talk to whoever made the mod

[mossy sorrel]

.< wiggles my paws erm...

they should add....ermm.......puppies :3 to stalker >.<

[cyan canopy]

But we had blind dog

[mossy sorrel]

Add....frotting....and.....

[cyan canopy]

Send him to Sarchopagus

[dense hatch]

nobody would pet a blind dog they're terrible and cowards

[spring apex]

technically there are puppies. look at noah pseudodog's good ending

[dense hatch]

those are not blind dogs and even then they're kinda terrible

[cyan canopy]

Then lets pet chimera then or bloodsuckers

[spring apex]

chimera big kitty

[dense hatch]

yikes

[fathom jolt]

Tushkano, yummy 😋

[indigo marsh]

The flesh would probably taste the best

[dense hatch]

none of them would taste good

[indigo marsh]

It is just some radioactive porkchop

[dense hatch]

it's still been mutated a LOT and lived inside the zone

you can still get canned meals which probably taste a lot better

or even normal sausage

how though they're just tins and it's not like the player suffers from anything by eating them

I doubt all of them are from the one shipment found in the warehouse

it's not though it's all apparently from one shipment found in a warehouse

maybe it went other places but besides how everything in the zone is a little dirty it should be fine

you don't get irritated from eating it

[indigo marsh]

Just drink some Vodka . In game it gets rid of radiation.

[lost frost]

no…

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[granite mortar]

[finite dragon]

Hello!
Finally, Japan is a game show from tomorrow until the 29th. Let's sneak a peek at the Sega booth...👀

[lethal orchid]

@finite dragon you will be our informant.

Tell us EVERYTHING.

If someone breathes in an odd manner, I need you to report it to us.

[wraith socket]

That's not the same way I did it. I had a menu where I could choose the type and frequency of weather conditions.

[lethal orchid]

@finite dragon if you get to play the demo, look at every single setting

[wraith socket]

The ZRP is a massive Mod that retards spawns of men and mutants and adds things way beyond any vanilla version. The creator of the ZRP has created more bugs than he ever fixed. That is why for over 15 years, year after year he was constantly adding things, which in turn was a perpetual bug machine that created more bugs than GSC ever did.

[elfin echo]

I started having this issue after installing arsenal overhaul

[finite dragon]

I think I can be a historical witness. 👍️

[loud gate]

Yes, please send my hellos to them

[viscid jay]

as for the creator of the sin badge, i tracked it down to dezowave but they have been silent for a couple years and i cant reach out them in anyway. all socials are private or with broken links, with how much the community uses the image almost everywhere as the defacto sin patch i figure i could probably use it without getting into trouble. but i really dont know, any of you have thoughts?

[wraith socket]

@gaunt burrow Do you have the dialogue where it is mentioned the 6th member of Strelok's gang: Strelok, Fang, Ghost, Doc Guide AND_____. The name escapes me at the moment.

[wraith socket]

I can get a hold of Dez usually within a day.

[viscid jay]

kickass

id love to speak with him, as i dont want to use the image without permission

if you could reach out to him for me id be super appreciative :)

[wraith socket]

I can tell you right now, he wouldn't mind. I was a member of Dez0wave 2012-2014 working on Lost Alpha. Everyone has been using the Sin Patch since. It's just become Stalker Lore.

I think I even have it on a hat.

[viscid jay]

i figured, but i wanted to make double sure, thank you.

[loud gate]

Matt isn't active anymore

[wraith socket]

Is he in a time-out so to speak? I know he's in Georgia.

[loud gate]

He is just busy

The one week when he was active was just an exception, unfortunately

[wraith socket]

He's such a great guy. I really likely sharing and talking to him. He told me he likes to collect dialogues.

[loud gate]

Yes, he is. I hope one day in the near future he will become active once again.

[wraith socket]

Eh, the Stalker Wiki. While it's a great resource, it is tough for me to read. Just about every other page has incomplete or wrong information.

I just now checked. It's missing who I was trying to remember.

[worn oar]

That's the dbg then

[worn oar]

He will.

[worn oar]

Matt was our wiki

[hazy helm]

What are you going to do with it

[worn oar]

Why are you looking for them?

[viscid jay]

i play tf2 competitively and they are allowing us to submit logos this season for our teams to be displayed on the website, my team is named after sin cuz a couple of us are stalker fans, so we thought it would be a perfect team logo.

i cant post images here but they come out as postage stamp size images next to your team name on the website

sin badge looks hard as hell and is our team namesake

[worn oar]

Sin is basically stalker mod, not stalker

[viscid jay]

im aware of what they are

[hazy helm]

I don't think you need legal rights if you're not getting money for it

[worn oar]

Either way, you can try and reach out to liquid bronze

[hazy helm]

yours for the taking

[worn oar]

He's still active if I'm not mistaken

[warm linden]

I played the mod and never found any issues with it which was weird

[worn oar]

But you can still use it anyway, since it's not under any legal conditions

[warm linden]

I tried out arsenal overhaul for CS and didn't like it since I thought it was just like oh it's gonna be new gun models and animations not the entire game being overhauled

[viscid jay]

well i think they might put the logos on shirts or smthn, ik ppl already do it without asking, since ive seen sin clothes and patches. But i wanted to talk directly to the guy so he would know exactly what it would be used for, and if i could pay him if he wanted or smthn

[worn oar]

You don't need that tbh, but as I said, go to moddb and try to contact liquid bronze.
You don't have to pay anything all things considered. There is no legal claims, and it's all posted under non lucrative public work umbrella.

You can ask for permission, but paying for something is basically regarded as scam.

You can donate, but not pay if you got my point.

[viscid jay]

yeah

[jaunty pebble]

I just hope GSC does a STALKER game(maybe even a spin off) that is happening on a huge modern city

Like imagine a destroyed huge city with anomalies and mutants

[naive moth]

Half life 2

[rocky trellis]

You know, while ago I joked about to win game of the year, bare minimum is 50% women + sufficient amount of minorities and non straight characters. And I did 100% mean it as a joke, but here my boy IGN is proving that my joke apparently wasn't a joke 💀

Context: They rigged their game of the year "vote". Black Myth wukong that has been criticized for not having women in it despite of it having some in it (it's a game full of monkeys and other animals). In a single hour Wukong went from being on track to first place to being nuked into oblivion. Couldn't get more blatant than this 😂

[dense hatch]

IGN popping off, very nice

I don't really care but it is quite funny

[rocky trellis]

Agreed. IGN and rest of the game journalists have been way too unreliable for so many years but this is just ridiculous 😂

[dense hatch]

nah that's cool of them it doesn't deserve GOTY with that price tag

absolutely for shame

they should rig it more if this is the result

[rocky trellis]

and give free win to FF7?

[dense hatch]

is it under $60

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, that would no longer be STALKER

[rocky trellis]

good old 70 like all the new games these days

Only very few games do 60

Coincidently, usually the actually good games..

[jaunty pebble]

the thing with IGN and Wukong go even deeper, the attempted defameation of the company, the altered reviews etc etc

[dense hatch]

yeah get it out of there, yet another reason for indie

game over $60?

or even at 60

that's one of my gripes with stalker 2

[rocky trellis]

You don't like $70 price tag?

Black Ops 6: We got you covered. $70 is for babies and we go big... give us 80, and that isn't even all the content

[dense hatch]

I'd love for anything above 50 to just be entirely removed off the list of GOTY simply for accessibility for those who cannot spend 3 times the price of a good indie game on it

I love paying for 3 hollow knights for the content of 1/8th of a hollow knight

[rocky trellis]

And I grabbed Worms Ultimate Mayhem for 2,60. Played the shit out of it back in the PS2 era

Another thing missing these days would be demos. So few games do those...

[dense hatch]

plenty of them do demos but they're usually smaller projects where it's not a big deal to just separate one level from the rest

just get rid of the "big" games

I hope for the day activision falls and all of it's ips are up for grabs

[rocky trellis]

For SoC it's recommended to get a mod for bug fixes, like bug fixes only nothing else.

At least for me that worked

[naive fog]

I play vanilla

[finite dragon]

I will try it. Could you send me the link to download the mod? I'm new in here.

But its crap gameplay conversion and causes more annoying bugs than those it removes

I have two sides:

Gigabased vanilla supremacist

Gigabased master of modrot

[dense hatch]

preach

the indie will inherit the industry

[rocky trellis]

Some studios basically already doing that atm. Like Laria with Baldur's Gate 3, Fromsoftware with Elden Ring... but will have to see if that is their peak or will they continue to improve. Imo, just maining current quality is already far above most other options.

[rapid scarab]

Looks like we have the new STALKER GPU!

[indigo marsh]

1. Pineapples on pizza is not that bad
2. It also adds some broccoli

[finite dragon]

Yes. I see now that the game crashes when I use something directly from their inventory.

[celest goblet]

Yes this is a known SOC bug unfortunately

[indigo marsh]

That is known to cause crashes. Take it out of their inventory then use it.

[celest goblet]

You just have to loot first then use items from your inventory

[loud gate]

I mean, it was to be expected.

[silk sparrow]

xbox controller for sure i guess

[rotund widget]

MSI didn't say anything on the peripherals, only teased the GPU co-op — and now just casually dropping everything & all at once alongside XBOX controller design 😄

[golden prism]

I have owned 3 MSI products... all of them are in my closet as glorified paper weights. 2 video cards and 1 motherboard all dead after 3 months lol
Of all the companies to partner with... why them?

had multiple boards, no issue

[golden prism]

Must be nice

[fluid abyss]

GSC realizing that maybe being bound to an old console isn’t worth it

Stalker 2 on console boutta get the CyberPunk treatment

[silk sparrow]

if you able tu burn 2 gpus in 3 mothns... i doubt its manufacturer problem 😄

[golden prism]

I can send them to you lmao they won't accept the RMA request so they're literally useless to me

[silk sparrow]

what was the issue?

[golden prism]

They're a 3080 and a 3060...
They just don't boot with the card... tried in multiple PCs

The board just straight up doesn't power up though

[silk sparrow]

idk, atleast in EU have 2 year warranty no matter what

I also know their customer support sucks

[golden prism]

🤷 it's probably just my luck...

[silk sparrow]

all brands more or less use same silicon

[golden prism]

All I know is... it royally pissed me off to the point of never buying another MSI product.

Switched to ASUS and haven't had a single issue since... been going for a year now

[rotund widget]

Yeah, we knew about the 4070 collab months prior, it's just that news on peripherals dropped outta nowhere basically. You could expect something like that, but there were no teasers nor leaks about em

[fluid abyss]

Haha ASUS lately came under fire for extremely bad customer service

[golden prism]

Depends on where you live really... if you live in the US you're going to have bad customer service with ASUS/MSI cause they're overseas. The last company that was US based(EVGA) died out. So here we are with an ASUS card.
Customer service doesn't matter if the product works anyway

Yee probably...

no, what about MrBeast... ohn wait

It can also depend on other factors like heat monitoring, and components checkups. Even dust can fuck things up for you if not handled. Lmao, I'd blame my room in that case not the company who made that card

||S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is a game||

[worn oar]

Oh yeah, and some ppl usually decide to go wild trying to OC their stuff without proper knowledge and then boom

Shit can happen

Last thing I might think about is blaming the producer, unless I really did take care of my stuff and got bricked regardless

You all reminded me to do my checkup

Thanks

It must be dusting hard there

[earnest bear]

I am more concerned it will be like the Cyberpunk card 3000 MSRP and 5000-7000 on ebay

[rocky trellis]

Wait a minute... will Wolf do the thing if I do this? For science

F||uck|| Wolf!

[worn oar]

Do what?

[rocky trellis]

yes! YES! Wolf has been defeated

[worn oar]

Hmm you sure?

Single blow can get him here biting

[fierce flower]

i hope we get to see more of the Major in S2

[rocky trellis]

Major success

[worn oar]

Degtyarev ? Probably not

[fierce flower]

Degtyarev

Bro stayed in the zone in the good ending for COP

[worn oar]

Which ending is Canon

[fierce flower]

well ima assume good cause strelok got out

[rocky trellis]

Hm? Isn't there basically only 1 ending for ?

[worn oar]

[rocky trellis]

Yea but the endings are seperate and depends on your actions, for Deggy there is only 1 ending and that is achieved by finishing the game.

A bit unfortunate but at least we know the canon ending unless they retcon it

[hazy helm]

hopefully, deggy dies

[worn oar]

Killed by SIRCAA

[cyan canopy]

i bet wolf still relaxing on campfire

[worn oar]

He can be alive

His dead is alife

He had a mission and he mightve achieved it

lets hope GSC add funny references in STALKER 2

[still ridge]

NDA rock is definitely a reference

It’s gotta be

Good afternoon STALKERS

Haha secret documents having NDA written on the model outter page

[cyan canopy]

How're we all doing

[worn oar]

[rocky trellis]

How goes the hunt?

[worn oar]

Hello? Hello!

[cyan canopy]

Would you look at that!

[worn oar]

Dog food

[spring apex]

Listen up! Sultan wants to see you

[untold karma]

My soundboard sound for joining vc on discord is "Get out of here STALKER!"

[cyan canopy]

[untold karma]

[worn oar]

Ehhhh cool dudes and cold blooded comrades

Military megaphone

You can

Hehe

The damn siren is really annoying

[spring apex]

nah kill voronin to turn it off

[untold karma]

Rude

[worn oar]

Shooting the megaphones will break them

[cyan canopy]

i wonder what the military commander said when Marked One approaching the border of the cordon

[untold karma]

Do they ever get fixed

[worn oar]

Nope

Muted for life

[rocky trellis]

The only radio you need is the bandit radio

[untold karma]

Yes, Duty Radio. I agree.

[rocky trellis]

Who would have thought they created Clear Sky so we can listen to nice music?

[cyan canopy]

Booty

[rocky trellis]

Preeeetty sure it's in clear sky. Just type in bandit radio and all of them have clear sky in it

(in YouTube)

[untold karma]

I personally prefer the things a little more north

[cyan canopy]

[untold karma]

No

I really need the bathroom, but i wanna go at home

[cyan canopy]

Yup... laptops are not very cat proof

Me: Buys 7900 XT to upgrade PC, which is due to arrive Friday.
GSC Game World: "We're collaborating with MSI for cool shit, including this fancy graphics card!"

Me: "Guess I'm cancelling my order and waiting for this STALKER stuff 👀"

I would too, buuuut... that card looks great. So does the keyboard.

The controller too - I just so happen to need a new one because mine has stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick drift.

I do wonder what kind of graphics card that is. IIRC, MSI doesn't make AMD Cards (sadge).

So it's going to be Nvidia and EXPENSIVE.

Huhwhat?

Ahh, I just have a standard one in Robotic White kekw

Been thinking about maybe ordering an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C... but I don't know if its Plug-and-Play like an XBOX Controller is.

Fair, but, I mean... I just laid down about €800+ for a 7900XT and a new PSU, so I cannot really afford an Elite controller

Do those actually work with Steam? The paddles?

Interesting.

Would be a great controller to pair with my Swiftpoint Z2 mouse that totally cost me €200

Yea boi

[jovial siren]

wondering if anyone would be able to help me with STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl.

I am doing the quest:

Find the Documents in the Undergound Lab

I am on the task:

Find the entrance to the lab

I have gotten to the quest marker, but when i get there, it says the door is locked, and then my game just crashes.

Any ideas on what to do?

[sly matrix]

Did you get the key from Borov?

[jovial siren]

i am 99% sure i have both keys (there are two correct?) let me check my tasks

[sly matrix]

One you get from the barkeep(when you get the mission), the other from Borov. If you have both but run into repeating crashes, try leaving and reenering the map, or loading a save from before you first entered the Dark Valley

[jovial siren]

I'm scrolling through my active/completed/failed tasks, but don't see any that mention borov

is there a way to see if i have the key in my inventory?

[sly matrix]

No

You can try going back to Borov and check his inventory. Maybe you killed him but forgot to loot him

[hazy helm]

big fat oaf in the bandit compound north of the map

[jovial siren]

amd borov is in the bandit's base? up north in the dark valley?

[sly matrix]

Yes

[jovial siren]

https://i.imgur.com/Qvf66jx.jpeg

here?

[sly matrix]

Holed up in something resembling an office

[sly matrix]

Yes

[jovial siren]

ok I'll go back there and search, thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[sly matrix]

Good luck👌

[jovial siren]

oh I've been up here, spent a long time here, don't remember seeing borov though, and thought i looted everyone, just going to keep searching the bodies though

[hazy helm]

get into the main building, second floor, the big fat oaf behind the desk

[jovial siren]

well i did kill him last time i was here and looted him, but no key

from what i understand, there's no actual key item, the door should just be unlocked after you kill and loot him, which i had done previously

any ideas on how to proceed, @sly matrix

oh my god, just did some research and i think you just have to press F at the door to unlock it

ahh i love old games

well headed back down there, hope that does indeed work

[nova token]

is there any bugfix and overhaul mode for CoP like SRP or ZRP?

[sand fiber]

no because it doesn't need one

SoC also doesn't to be clear

[nova token]

at least how can i change the fov 😄

[sand fiber]

:3333333333333333333333333

[hazy helm]

should've asked how to open doors

F = use key btw

[sand fiber]

they wouldn't survive an hour in pathologic smh smh...

i'm not sure if the console commands work

[sly matrix]

Crystal balls🔮🔮 say: "Press F to pay respects, and open doors."

[granite mortar]

Not the crystal balls again

[sly matrix]

The situation called for it

@granite mortar Crystal balls🔮🔮 say: "Crystalsphere > Goldsphere."

Goldenballs say 🟡 🟡 :

[granite mortar]

So true

[rocky trellis]

We're making progress, just backwards

[granite mortar]

Omg just like Marked One

||he progressed backwards to killing strelok for so long he actually needed him to stay alive in the end||

[worn oar]

Hmm you're a modder, no?

[jovial siren]

wow the lab was really cool

[worn oar]

||Gork yourself, you damn Jakanist duck ||

[sand fiber]

jekan & grok collab when

[worn oar]

When anomaly 2 is a thing

||(Which is never)||

[sand fiber]

Anomaly 2
Producer: Demosfen
Director: Jekan
Gamedesign: Grok&Syak
Special thanks to: OP 2.2 team

[sand fiber]

the PEAK @granite mortar can't imagine

[worn oar]

Well, you seem to be doing good.

Config changes are always a starting point for new modders. I myself started that way, doing simple edits after exploring and learning my way through. Eventually, I started doing more complex stuff until I gained some decent exp and collaborated with other modders to improve on/help develop new mods.

[worn oar]

Director anomaly 2 is going to be a movie?

||never||

[sly matrix]

My first time seeing that lab is one of my favorite memories

[jovial siren]

when the stuff started ||floating||... omg

[sly matrix]

Had you read the encyclopedia descriptions of mutant in your PDA before going in there?

[worn oar]

Poltergeist moment

[granite mortar]

oh hell nah
Jekan, Syak and THE ALFAMODMAKER are too based for that shit

[worn oar]

What about that first ||bloodsucker encounter in the catacombs||

[granite mortar]

also
where do you get the Veles detectors for Owl in CoP again?
I got one from god knows where and one from the digger cabin at kopachy

[sly matrix]

Can drop from zombified exoskeletons

[indigo marsh]

Fastest way? Buy them

[granite mortar]

I bought one from eggheads now
one more to go

wait I only need š
Im dumb

[finite dragon]

hello

it seems i am out of jail

[sand fiber]

EGGHEAD??? DISCO ELYSIUM REFERENCE???

[jovial siren]

no 👀

i don't really understand the pda

it always lights up so i open it, but don't seem to have new entries that often

[sand fiber]

lights up as in?

[sly matrix]

I generally consider the mutant pages a nice introduction to hype you up for first encounters

[jovial siren]

like the indicator on the left side of the screen

it's like a light blue outline of a pda

[granite mortar]

so who pays the most for artifacts in CoP?

[dense hatch]

I think it's all the same except beard once you complete his questline

[sand fiber]

ehghhhhhhhhhhhhhh boroda/havaian if you're in freedom ig?

[dense hatch]

didn't think he paid more than beard

[granite mortar]

hawaian pays 5040 for midtier artifact, Ill check how much Beard will give me

[frail jacinth]

im done goldsphere, next pls

[granite mortar]

:3

Return to the Zone
or alternatively Escape from the Zone

[sand fiber]

rttz as chymo said

but consider this: OP 2.2 :333333

[frail jacinth]

im just preordered stalker 2 ultimate :>

[worn oar]

Based

[elfin echo]

Why can't i add attachments to my weapons,i'm using the arsenal overhaul mod

[elfin echo]

nvm it worked

[finite dragon]

wede have to do physical copies for gsc game world to get the full amount?

[worn oar]

Wdym?

Can you elaborate?

[finite dragon]

I pressed digital edition on the stalker2 website and it takes me to steam, epic, etc. They have to pay a percentage to them?

[worn oar]

Yeah

Stores take a commission

[finite dragon]

so if I buy a physical edition if its available would they then get the full amount?

or do you think theyd still pay steam if its a steam key?

[worn oar]

Yes

But no

But most of the profit goes to GSC that way

[finite dragon]

ok

[worn oar]

However, restock possibility is still not yet settled.

[finite dragon]

yeah

[worn oar]

So, wait a bit more

And decide later

[finite dragon]

I already submitted a physical request

[worn oar]

GSC will let everyone know when it's available again

[finite dragon]

cool

[worn oar]

The physical edition will come as a steam code if I'm not mistaken, so yeah, they'll still get the regular commission mostly, but the physical items profit goes back to GSC

[finite dragon]

so itd be like $10 more than the digital price maybe>?

[granite mortar]

killed the Jupiter chimera
shot behind it with RPG as it leaped at me
