my stalker minecraft mod is working well
nothing has animations
2 of 3 mobs die in 1 hit and not 60
bloodsucker has no sounds

not accurate, you need to make weapons have 70% their normal accuracy beyond a meter and then make every enemy tank enough hits to bring down a wooly mammoth

finite dragon

yeah you're either 1 tapping a military stalker with a 9x18 PMm from 500m away, or you're dumping 12gauge buckshot into a bandits chest for zero effect whilst they slap you into a backflip with their bandoot fist of fury

Hello there, i'm completely new and i'd like to know how the stalker-rp works.

cerulean bolt
#

no

lone solstice
#

Ok? So it's an rp-room like any other?

finite dragon
#

Nonono

lone solstice
#

Ok so no difference to all the cringy projects out there. Disappointing

finite dragon
#

Correct

lone solstice
#

Meh

finite dragon
#

Tabletop is way better smile_strelok

#

But there's only one GM and he's got his life to take care of, so there wasn't any campaign in half a year

lone solstice
#

Alright

#

Where could i get some help with anomaly-installation?

finite dragon
#

Right here

#

Ask away

#

Mods are asleep)))

lone solstice
#

Now that's convenient

finite dragon
#

You should ask in #🔨-technical but I doubt the mods would come in here)))

#

Anyways anomaly is pretty straightforward to download - main beta files, latest update and latest hotfix.. Then you put the main files somewhere, put the update files over the main files and finally the hotfix files over the main files that had the update files put over them.

#

Bam! Anomolo installed

lone solstice
#

Yeah it's 1-3 and then the update 1.5 or something

finite dragon
#

Nonono

#

Main files first

#

Then update 3

ah, you already took care of it, anyways as for rp stuff, I recommend asking @pseudo rivet , as they can really help you with the breakdown of how the rp works. There are currently 2 rp's with different sets of rules. one for English and one for the RU community.

To see the roleplay channels in the server, you have to pick a faction under #👥┃faction-choice
Once you've picked a faction, it will open up channels you can't normally see, including Rp-Reg, Rp-Rules, faction wars rules, etc. which will all help you to understand how everything works (quick edit, rp-reg is where you put your backstory I believe)

#

You also gain the ability to see your factions specific chat, that only members of your faction can see.

#

There is also a Roleplay bot which tracks items you have, gear, weapons, items, money/rubles etc. With it's own dedicated command channel.

#

If you ever decide you want to change factions or feel like you chose the wrong one, feel free to ask one of the moderators to change your role, as once you've chosen you can't swap factions without our help. :). let me know if you have any other questions!

#

Yep

lyric forge
#

Anyways ontopic

finite dragon
#

My comp has become the Sidorovich's Curse Anomaly

lyric forge
#

In CS, I’m not sure if big or not, but at bandit main base, this group of 5 was running lightning speed at me and didn’t bother to stop and shoot, I guess patrolling their base? Either way they didn’t act hostile

#

If bug or not *

pseudo rivet
#

Bug

lyric forge
#

Gotcha.

pseudo rivet
#

At least, if you're hostile to them

#

If not, it should be normal

finite dragon
#

All hostile factions are pretty much shoot-on-sight for me

#

Imagine a punch mod lol

lyric forge
#

My times of walking around the whole base just to get the perfect jump on the enemy was all wasted when they through 3 grenades at once at me.
I haven’t played CS that often because of the faction bug, but dodging grenades seems so much more difficult than dodging bullets.
And on top of that, 3/5 throw grenades at me, causing me to run out of cover and get lit up, it’s so frustrating....

finite dragon
#

And I like how the NPC is smart enough to take your weapon and use it against you lol

#

Yes dodging grenades is wayyy more harder to dodge

pseudo rivet
#

Bandits are expert grenadiers

finite dragon
#

NPCs throw with elite accuracy so it can effectively kill you

lyric forge
#

No

#

The thing is

#

You have little reaction from not being able to see nor hear the grenade coming your way, due to being behind cover and waiting for them to advance or you taking peak shots

#

As for THEM,

#

You can launch a made cross map at them, and before it even hits half way, they’re already running from it in god speed.

#

I find it more of a challenge of grenades than bullets from how much damage they do and reacting to them aka finding new cover with the low health you already have.

#

And on top of that, they throw 3 at once, which is just crazy

#

And if you’re in the field like me with small boxes as cover, you’re just better off dead

pseudo rivet
#

Record stands at 4 grenades at once with sniper accuracy from a very long distance

cerulean bolt
#

in cs i went to cordon near instakill turret

#

after dying a couple times i turned back and noticed all of clear sky was not friendly anymore

#

whys that?

pseudo rivet
#

That's normal

#

Since you left the faction, they aren't friendly anymore. You're now a Neutral Merc working alongside Clear Sky

cerulean bolt
#

so i have to pay the 40-120 rouble fare for travel now? :(

#

and is it possible it do lots of quests and make them friendly again

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

#

But you won't have the same price discounts as you had before.

finite dragon
#

dangit anomaly it messed up big time

#

(i think it removed rpgs..)

pseudo rivet
#

Huh

#

That's weird

#

RPG-7u is in the base game

finite dragon
#

Yeah the recent update deleted them

#

I don't see anything resembling an rpg in icon editor

#

And in the debug spawn menu

#

Dangit anomaly :( now how am I going to destroy the flea market at Garbage

pseudo rivet
#

With bullets

finite dragon
#

(All of them are hostile because Sidorovich forced me to kill a stalker)

#

I got a UMP7 with like around 50 bullets

#

Did Anomaly mess up that badly with the new update?

#

yep they deleted it

#

||Curse you Anomaly!!||

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

wait no I think they did a big goof

#

"Fixed RPG7 and RG6 being sorted with ammo"

instead of 500r for a 1000r scope, its 100

No one else went there iirc

Plenty of people went there, including the entire Monolith faction just before the events of Clear Sky

finite dragon
#

Hmmm I can't wrap my head around a particular faction in Anomaly

#

What would be the first and best faction to start as?

pseudo rivet
#

Scar never entered the Scorcher. He travelled around the Scorcher, before Strelok deactivated it

@pseudo rivet can you fill me in on that last part?

Do you guys play without or with sun shadows and why

For me, personally I prefer playing without sun shadows cause depression and more spookiness

are there any mods for SOC that improve weapon animations? i enjoy the vanilla game but the animations used really grind my gears

shrewd dagger
#

OWR 3

finite dragon
#

id suggest OWR3, its not specifically vanilla reanims though.

#

yea jester...

shrewd dagger
#

heh

finite dragon
#

we're on the wavelength

#

i think he's after vanilla weapons reanimated?

shrewd dagger
#

it just replaces all vanilla guns with super high quality ones with nice anims

#

Well nothing like THAT exists so I'd just use OWR 3, so much nicer anyway

finite dragon
#

oh really? damn id pay money

#

yeah spin owr3 is honestly your best bet, it doesnt add any new weapons i believe

whole orbit
#

thats perfect

#

thanks dad

im sorry Papa

finite dragon
#

#

i just got a crash course in the fine line you have to walk in this server 😉

#

yeah i think im going to spend the day removing the owr3 replacement back to vanilla and use Teh_Snakes retexture from gamebanana

#

for the lr300 that is

#

oh its a bit easier than i thought hahaha

#

the hardest part seriously is taking the time to default the descriptions and replace the inventory icon with the original xD

#

anyone know if theres a built in spawn menu for SoC or should i just push through the game for a few hours just to get the lr300... its a weapon worth waiting for xD

shrewd dagger
#

it's not built in

#

you can use Atlas spawn menu on moddb though

finite dragon
#

thats what it was called somehow googleing SoC spawn menu yielded CoC spawn menu

#

i can imagine many people here dont fanboy community modders but holy baby jezeus, the pair of them could make SoC look like brand new

#

that link takes you to the lr300 retexture by the way, i dont know why it didnt hotlink like usual

i just slept in survival mode in dead city... lets not do that again

finite dragon
#

CoC 1.5 as a base for w/e mod you're playing we can assume

finite dragon
#

online exclusion radius, whats your setting for that? defaults 25m i believe

#

excl_dist = 25 ;meters

... i wrote all that then remembered you can change it in the options menu ingame... ;P

Well not necessarily scary

A mod that keeps you on your toes

The #1 mod for that is fully standalone, so not a CoP mod, and it's NLC 7

😮

#

never heard of it

#

everything is in russian online

shrewd dagger
#

best mod too

#

It's the only well thought out "hardcore gameplay" mod

#

Lower resource, more dangerous and mysterious Zone, less forgiving gameplay mechanics that are also the best in the series overall

#

I just did Lab X-18 in that mod last night; it is pitch black, no power at all and flashlights have battery drain, and it managed to be a good challenge without just flooding it with mutants as if it were Doom, plus you have to use a gas mask or better in some places like in Metro (X-18 being one of them)

They're a very rare breed of mutants that can't be seen in the game

sacred magnet
#

is Skadovsk base not in MISERY?

#

I cant find the entrance

sacred magnet
#

Theres no bar or anything

#

just an empty room

robust forge
#

A glitch probably

shrewd dagger
#

All the more reason not to play that crap mod

sacred magnet
#

lmaoo why is it crap

shrewd dagger
#

Perpetually stuttery and poorly thought out gameplay design

#

Carry 1000 items to repair things and cook things

#

Equipment Repair Simulator

#

Poorly balanced mutants too

#

Uncreative artificial difficulty is all it does

#

It even writes stuttering into the lore instead of fixing it

#

Joke mod

robust forge

That doesn't want to be a joke

Man, I just can't take a break from that mod rn

#

Although I'm finding some time for Postal

dense burrow
#

So, for those who played Lost Alpha

#

What's up with the Strangers and why are a few of them able to morph into mutants?

shrewd dagger
#

Because Lost Alpha has really bad writing

dense burrow
#

heh

#

On a random note, the Northern/Southern books have some curious bits

#

such as ||an ancient civilization with a longass name that used artifacts without radiation||

#

Also a girl that said she was Strelok's lover and despised herself for being so weak as a girl and so she asked the Monolith to make her a man.

#

It bonded her flesh to her exosuit lol

pseudo rivet
#

Sounds like bad fanfic

#

Southern Comfort, I assume?

dense burrow
#

I think so

#

By and large I'd say it was a good, enjoyable read tho

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, I believe it's not canon

dense burrow
#

of course not

shrewd dagger
#

I heard strelok beat up prostitutes in those books

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

dense burrow
#

I've yet to read Northern but Strelok isn't in Southern

#

He's mentioned

#

@pseudo rivet for what purpose

pseudo rivet
#

No clue

#

Haven't read it myself yet

shrewd dagger
#

Those are books I would never read

pseudo rivet
#

Southern Comfort, no

#

I haven't heard anything bad about Northern Passage, so I guess I'll give it a go

What's the right chat, then?

that one @pseudo rivet

pseudo rivet

Still not the right one, imo

@shrewd dagger Is that the right chat, bro?

pseudo rivet
sacred magnet

I hope he can tell me

Seems like the Zone did a good toll to someone's mental health again.

It's Vova

#

His PKM got upgraded

#

Or they just gave him a KORD

finite dragon
#

Or even better, an AGS

robust forge
#

Nah, it's slow

He needs something fast

Someone just need to give him an ZSU already

Ah yeah, sorry

finite dragon
#

@pseudo rivet Sorry for the ping, but In Anomaly I can choose a faction?

#

or...

robust forge
#

You can

finite dragon
#

Thx

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

It's a CoC kinda mod

#

And no worries about the ping

#

I like to be pinged

#

Oh no, why did I say that?

robust forge
#

Why did I have some dirty thought at first while reading that

pseudo rivet
#

I don't know why

#

You could ask yourself, though

#

Asking about your thoughts to someone else is kinda weird

finite dragon
#

What specs do I need to run Anomaly?

#

I ask that bc my laptop is trash

pseudo rivet
#

@robust forge Any clue?

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

IIRC the lowest option included 1GB VRAM and 2GB RAM

finite dragon
#

Ya know... Freedom isnt that bad...

#

they are nicd guys acctually...

#

I was at the border and they treated me like one of theirs

robust forge
#

Eh, freedom is pretty nice

#

But you know, the whole aspect of many factions just doesn't seem right to me

pseudo rivet
#

It's the Zone, after all

#

That's why we only really have two factions

robust forge
#

You're in one of the most unwelcome places in the world

#

And yet you still want to have a war against each other while the greater threat (monolith) just waits

pseudo rivet
#

That's why there's a cease-fire

#

No cooperation, though

finite dragon
#

I got deep in the north

#

and I experienced things...

#

I was scared

#

And thos ghosts...

#

Monolith,zombies and ghosts

#

The air was talking to me

#

the worst

#

Damn you Red Forest

pseudo rivet
#

Sometimes, the Zone just doesn't like it when somebody gets too curious

robust forge
#

Every stalker gangsta until the air starts talking

finite dragon
#

ye

#

So Clear Sky was right

#

I was so scared dude, I started swetting

#

I hate that RPG-Monolith too

#

yeah

#

And Psy-dogs

#

I hate those snipers

pseudo rivet
#

Clear Sky was right, to a certain extent

finite dragon
#

Are all the mods free to install? @pseudo rivet

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

finite dragon
#

good

#

then

#

I will try to install all of them

#

and

#

buy CoP

pseudo rivet
#

This isn't Bethesda

finite dragon
#

and CS

#

Hehe

#

Good luck with CS my man

#

Why?

pseudo rivet
#

It's great

#

Heh

finite dragon
#

Really?

pseudo rivet
#

Seen the Lore, it's really interesting

finite dragon
#

then I will put some money on my steam and buy it

#

"STALKER DETECTED! OPEN FIRE!!"

#

Fun

pseudo rivet
#

You learn a lot about the Zone and the rules that govern it

#

But other than that

#

It's the Dark Souls of the series

finite dragon
#

Tbh, SoC gets pretty boring sometimes

#

Rn I was at the 100 rads bar

#

taking some missions to complete

#

bcnI didnt know what to do next

pseudo rivet
#

Follow the Main Mission

finite dragon
#

You visit Army Warehouse yet?

#

Yep

#

and I got rid of the monoliths

pseudo rivet
#

Home, sweet home

finite dragon
#

andnI dont know what to do next

#

It doesnt show me anything

pseudo rivet
#

It should tell you in the missions tab

finite dragon
#

Still, Crimson sir, thanks for that free VSS in one of the barracks

#

Who wants to play some online SoC?

pseudo rivet
#

SoC Online?

#

Impossible

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

network

pseudo rivet
#

CS is the only one online, as far as I heard

finite dragon
#

SoC has online too

pseudo rivet
#

So does CoP

finite dragon
#

Yep

#

rn I am waiting for anomaly to install

pseudo rivet
#

I wonder. If I asked Rock what the Ideology of Clear Sky truly was, what would he say?

#

The most common one we know is that they wish to understand it and to co-exist with it

#

But Freedom does the same

finite dragon
#

The Eco also into the research too

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

I'd ask the Rock who the heck is the Merc tbh

pseudo rivet
#

But Freedom actually mentions that they co-exist with the Zone, in contrast with Duty

#

Foreign mercs searching for documents in the X Labs

#

Contractor unknown. Presumably the U.S. of A.

finite dragon
#

Always the good old Sam. He's always like to have a hand in everything

pseudo rivet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Interestingly, the Mercenaries contractors at Pripyat (I'll call them UN Researchers) wear the same radiation suit as the Ecologists

#

An SSP-99M Suit

finite dragon
#

Noticed that too. It's not even blue? Is that the dude who has X8's weapon room card

pseudo rivet
#

Nope

#

Green

#

The Mercs do have a Merc Skin, though

#

So it has to be a contractor

#

I'm betting on UN Researchers

finite dragon
#

If that was actually UN, hope Deg and the boys didn't get into serious trouble after that shooting

pseudo rivet
#

Most UN expeditions go wrong, anyways

#

Nimble snatched two weapons from dead UN Research patrols

#

Presumable two seperate patrol groups

#

But other than that, there is a U.S. skin of the Mercenary Bodysuit

#

Not in the actualy game, however

finite dragon
#

In the files?

pseudo rivet
#

The SSP-99M Suits have replaced those

#

Yes

finite dragon
#

Interesting. Make me hype for S2 even more.

finite dragon
#

I heard Scar were supposed to fight Fang in CS but it got cut later right?

@pseudo rivet Are freedom cannibals?

#

I met this one guy at the freedom base... and he wanted me too stay to be their meat

#

so they can eat me

#

as far i understand

pseudo rivet
#

Probably a joke

#

They like to horse around

#

I've yet to find any evidence

#

Chef doesn't seem to cook humans, either

#

And besides that, he was standing guard

#

Maybe he got bored and wanted to pull a prank

finite dragon
#

Maybe

🤷

#

I doubt they cannibalize others, though

read partner coc (code of conduct, jannies)

ah

first word of that sentence also counts

id advise to edit it out

and i agree on it being a dumb rule

but cant do much about it

finite dragon

fair

cerulean bolt
#

partner server so we must abide by overly strict rules

benefits:
the tick
the art in top left
drawbacks:

finite dragon

easy solution: get one more Nitro booster and sacrifice the tick

tired anvil

11 for the sake of it

finite dragon

safety net

cerulean bolt

yes

tick means nothing

#

less censorship is better

guys if you have nitro please boost the server

10 nitro = yes swearing

finite dragon

o

#

lose vanity URL without partner

maybe the trade off is not worth it

cerulean bolt

20 boosts for vanity url

so 11 more

then well be sorted

finite dragon

easy pz

sacred magnet

Anyone have any other idesa

cerulean bolt

roll back to previous save

sacred magnet
#

I did

#

I tried new saves and reinstalls

#

Still same problem

#

such a random bug

cerulean bolt
#

reinstall game with no mods

#

try new game

#

if that doesnt work try openxray maybe its an engine bug

sacred magnet
#

Ok trying that now

shrewd dagger
#

the fix is to play a better mod

lyric forge
#

I found that finding artifacts in CS was a lot more uncommon than CoP and SoC for some reason.
I’ve found around 50-80 in SoC, probs double in CoP, yet in CS, I only found 6-7

shrewd dagger
#

the lore explains why

sacred magnet
#

the mod you recommended @shrewd dagger doesnt seem to be in english

shrewd dagger
#

it is, the english translation is a separate download, you need to read the descriptions for mods

lyric forge
#

@shrewd dagger , where can I find this lore at?

shrewd dagger
#

in the games; in SoC you will see NPCs say that artifacts are now common and not very valuable

robust forge
#

You literaly feel as if you just went shroom hunting in SoC

#

a pretty nice feeling if you ask me

lyric forge
#

Yeah in SoC they were in plain sight, multiple of them, even in crates I found them.

#

But CS, I was able to barely find any, although most being the very rare ones odd enough

#

Goldfish, bubble, mamas beads, etc

shrewd dagger
#

in SoC NPCs mention artifacts were more rare and/or valuable just a little while back, e.g. during the events of CS

lyric forge
#

Ah.. that explains it I guess.

finite dragon
#

Just found out that Marked One is Strelok...

#

wow

#

When I had to met with the doc from Strelok's hiding place...

#

He called me Strelok

#

after the xplosion

#

frim the tunnel

shrewd dagger
#

Wow man!

#

better late than never

finite dragon
#

Damn

#

now thats a plot twist

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

But who is the kind stalker who saved Strelok?

#

And why was he caring those bodies in his truck?

pseudo rivet
#

The Mysterious Stranger from Fallout

finite dragon
#

Heh

pseudo rivet
#

He didn't drive the Death Truck

finite dragon
#

Oh

I forgot

but what is the death truck?

#

What's its purpose?

pseudo rivet
#

Have you played CS?

finite dragon
#

Nope

I will

pseudo rivet
#

It's kinda explained in that

finite dragon

in a day

But on short

#

what is it,

#

?*

cerulean bolt
#

||c-consciousness sends brainwashed stalkers to cordon in death trucks, brainwashed duty members drive them||

#

||savior just found strelok, he didnt drive the truck||

#

also before you start CS install sky reclamation project

#

otherwise its riddled with bugs

finite dragon
#

||so Duty are the bad guys?||

cerulean bolt
#

like enemies disappearing, enemies materializing into a base when they have "0" troops, etc.

#

||no||

pseudo rivet
#

||These brainwashed stalkers act as the agents of the Monolith. They are given a task and they have amnesia. Not a lot of options but to follow this task.||

||Brainwashed agents, of sort, yes||

Nah most’ll happen is you’ll be hungry and have low stamina lol

I think same effects through all of them no?

cerulean bolt
#

cs doesnt have hunger

lyric forge
#

Hm..
Although I never worried about hunger in CS, never knew they DIDNT have a hunger system in CS. I was too busy using food as health as alternatives to medkits for firefights

cerulean bolt
#

instead stone flowers are actually useful

#

and you need 3 bandages to close a gunshot

#

and bugs

lyric forge
#

I carried mamas bead in CS to counter the bleeding, than when it stops, I equipped kolobok for quick heals

#

I couldn’t keep up with bandages in CS after limansk, I wouldn’t make it without mamas bead

cerulean bolt
#

pro tip

#

carry 40-50 science medkits

#

only bandage after a fight

#

congratz you will never run out of bandages

lyric forge
#

Or just mamas beads

#

Unlimited heals

cerulean bolt
#

but i need to sell all artifacts i get to sid for bandage money...

lyric forge
#

Once you get mamas bead why still use bandages?

#

Unless you need a quick seal from the wound to get back and fight, sure.
I’m a patient person, and I have no else choice to be patient, so overtime wound healing is perfect rather than waste money and keep healing up

Kolobok+mamas bead op

vinca vs bandages

Bandages for normal fights, Vinca for fighting giant packs of mutants

I'm looking into getting an Stalker game, but I have no idea which game in the series I should start off... Do you guys have any advice of which game I should start off?

cerulean bolt
#

cs with sky reclamation project (fixes lots of bugs) is first chronologically

#

then soc, it takes off after it

#

and then cop its similar to cs

lunar surge
#

Shadow of Chernobyl

keen hollow
#

Yes

#

I know

cerulean bolt
#

soc was released first

keen hollow
#

I heard that Call of Pripyat is the most stable game on vanilla

cerulean bolt
#

in my experience soc is more stable

lunar surge
#

Start with SoC. It was released first and will be the best to introduce you to the series

keen hollow
#

Okay

cerulean bolt
#

cs is chronologically first, it is a prequel to soc

#

story will make more sense that way

#

I will need to learn how to install mods to help with the game

cerulean bolt
#

move gamedata folder to stalker root

#

read the readme of the mod you want to install

keen hollow
#

Another thing, I will need to get money lol

#

I am poor

lunar surge
#

Play vanilla first. Most " community patches" just make it worse.

#

You can get entire trilogy on steam sale for something like 5 dollars usually

keen hollow
#

Will I have to install the required engine for it or does it come with the game if I purchase it on Steam?

lunar surge
#

Maybe 10

#

Like in most games, install the game and that's it

keen hollow
#

Okay

cerulean bolt
#

dont buy it on steam, it has drm

keen hollow
#

drm?

cerulean bolt
#

digital rights management

#

buy it from gog it has no drm

keen hollow
#

gog?

cerulean bolt
#

google

#

drm-free game store which started out to preserve old games

keen hollow
#

How does DRM affect the game on steam?

shrewd dagger
#

steam one has no DRM either

#

but yes start with SoC, the first and the best in the series
