Don't forget to kiss your homie

[tired anvil]

Deggy a military boi

Yet you love him

Biased

[pseudo rivet]

Biased

[finite dragon]

deggy was a Cool not-corrupt military boy

[tired anvil]

Sokolov was a cool military boi too

[pseudo rivet]

Wow

Wow

[finite dragon]

WHY IS THERE TWO OF THEM I'M CONFUSED

[pseudo rivet]

Implying all soldiers are corrupt

[tired anvil]

Sokolov literally made A-Life for all 3 stalker games and now he's making it for s2

[pseudo rivet]

Yikes man

Yikes

[tired anvil]

Way to disrespect him

[finite dragon]

ok look

[tired anvil]

This man right here made the A-Life

[finite dragon]

kuznetsov is a corrupt guy, he gets bribed, i'm a person of equality here (definitely not a feminist)

so i just slapped him in the face with my PMM and killed his homies because kuznetsov is bad

sokolov helped me, degt helped everyone in Janov , Zaton and Pripyat

[pseudo rivet]

So, he just gets replaced by even "worse" guys

[gusty trench]

Sokolov be like

[pseudo rivet]

Way to fix your "problem"

[narrow echo]

strelok irl

[finite dragon]

slap them too

[gusty trench]

let's make A-life dead

[lyric forge]

Are you on SoC

[finite dragon]

you never run out of PMM bullets Comrade

nah i finished the trilogy, but they beating me for killing a corrupt soldier here

[pseudo rivet]

I don't, you're right

[tired anvil]

You kill the least corrupt corrupt soldier

That just means his replacement will be worse

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

you never run out of bullets to slaughter military guys doe

[pseudo rivet]

Biased

[tired anvil]

Vova certainly didn't have issues nailing you to the ground

[finite dragon]

Also, after having retrieved the documents from the X18 Laboratory, he and his men will shoot on sight without giving the player the chance to bribe them. Kuznetsov Here

[pseudo rivet]

Not true

I didn't have any problems with that

[finite dragon]

well it's the wiki so you're right

[lyric forge]

terminate them

[pseudo rivet]

Fandom wiki a joke, honestly

[finite dragon]

also no, Vova was doing his dooty for the military

[tired anvil]

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Kuznetsov was bribing thus he corrupt

[gusty trench]

I think it has some kind of sense.

But with some conditions

[pseudo rivet]

So, he just gets replaced by even "worse" guys

[finite dragon]

but they're not corrupt

[pseudo rivet]

Way to fix your "problem"

[gusty trench]

Shoot them

[pseudo rivet]

Especially from a Freedomer

I expected better, bro

[finite dragon]

i'm only into freedom for the weed doe

[lyric forge]

Just remember if you don’t wanna deal with anyone just go full postal and kill everyone

[pseudo rivet]

Doesn't mean Free Stalkers can't get it

[tired anvil]

At the end of the day

Scar best protag

[lyric forge]

More like bandit

[finite dragon]

you get to smash bloodsuckers doe

[narrow echo]

typical freedom ignorance

[gusty trench]

Somebody from this server decided to kill everybody on his sight in his first playthrough

[tired anvil]

Bandit dialogue

[pseudo rivet]

you get to smash bloodsuckers doe

Nah man, join the Bandits instead

They get off on that kinky stuff

[tired anvil]

Somebody from this server decided to kill everybody on his sight in his first playthrough
Someone from this server decided to kill you

[gusty trench]

[finite dragon]

imagine smacking a bloodsucker over using your own hand. man, bandits are really weird

they're like a version of people below the IQ of 60 roaming the zone

[tired anvil]

They have a concentration camp

[finite dragon]

[grand pendant]

i mean whatever, at the end of the day

[lyric forge]

You should just join mercs, atleast if you kill you do it for a purpose of financial gain 🤷‍♂️

[grand pendant]

Scar best protag

[finite dragon]

tbh the best thing would probably be monolith

[pseudo rivet]

Scar best protagonist

[finite dragon]

all mutants in the zone love you, and you can kill literally every single faction except your own and zombified

plus you get to worship a pile of junk that makes you communicate with rocc

[lyric forge]

tbh the best thing would probably be monolith
Your best friend will be the F5 button, good luck being hated by everyone

[finite dragon]

i mean

[lyric forge]

and zombified
So you get the special ed stalkers huh

[finite dragon]

i have only two reasons to play this game, first reason Lore. Second Reason Rifle go Shkshkshkshk

and zombified
So you get the special ed stalkers huh
@lyric forge i mean, who doesn't like their own kind

[lyric forge]

The wish granter would probs kill more stalkers then your zombr0s

[finite dragon]

i mean if you ignore zombies, every single mutant in the zone works for the zone, and monolith work for the zone so basically mutants and monolith should be homies, so you can say that mutants pwned stalkers too

[tired anvil]

Mutants pwned Duty that's for sure

[lyric forge]

[still ridge]

Yeah that’s why they needed the cannon from concept art

[wary cove]

Your best friend will be the F5 button, good luck being hated by everyone
almost everybody hates me irl so I'm used to it

[finite dragon]

if i could access irl settings i would delete the save file

How it feels when that one monolith with an RPG kills himself and three other of his comrades

[sick topaz]

tfw you accidentally shoot a friendly npc and he turns hostile

[finite dragon]

give em hell

[finite dragon]

Uh

I'm playing Clear sky right now, trying to deactivate Strelok's psy protection but it isn't working

Even when I got point-blank, the gauss rifle wasn't doing anything to his psy protection

[tranquil lake]

You have to nail him a lot

[finite dragon]

I was

At point-blank and it didn't take anything from the bar that shows

Hi

[finite dragon]

GET OUT OF HERE MONOLITH!

[wary cove]

[finite dragon]

[bleak zinc]

Go, go cry to that useless rock

[wary cove]

leave my rocc alone

[finite dragon]

Opaaa, another free stalker. hello comrade.

[bleak zinc]

[finite dragon]

[languid harbor]

😾

let freedom fight monolith ✅
defend rostok against 2 mutated dogs with automatic weapons ✅

[past shuttle]

does anybody know how to add more combat music into CoC?

it cant be impossible for sure

[finite dragon]

oh look its a duty dog. pedik!

[wary cove]

I haven't played CoC yet so I'm not sure if adding new music works in the same way you would do in vanilla

[past shuttle]

changing menu music is easy

but im not sure about combat music

maybe changing names will work ?

added 3 musics and named them theme1 and so on

if someone knows Id be happy

if nobody does then im gonna do it by myself

[wary cove]

no idea about combat music tbh, once I added more tracks to bar radio but that's it

[past shuttle]

thats for radio

but i need music for combat

well

nobody knows i guess

[bleak zinc]

Finally, i finished SoC

[tired anvil]

Grats

[bleak zinc]

and got the bad ending

[tired anvil]

Which one?

[bleak zinc]

"Marked One becomes blind"

i dont know how its called

[tired anvil]

“I want the zone to disappear”

[bleak zinc]

that one

i finished it in 10 hours

i think i rushed it

[tired anvil]

Oh yeah at least a bit

[bleak zinc]

now, should i go with the next game or should i get all the Endings and THEN go to the next game

[shrewd raptor]

Get all the endings. Completion comes first

Its also more fun that way, as you get the Canon ending, which will make more sense to ya later in CoP

[covert mortar]

Fun comes first

[shrewd raptor]

Thats what I mean with Completion. The fun and the feeling of accomplishment when you get every ending.

[bleak zinc]

Ok

i'll start a new run

and try to get the canon ending

[solid dome]

Origan starts a new run, ends with the "Blin, I'm blind" ending

[bleak zinc]

i would not be surprised if it happened

[finite dragon]

HEELO COMRADES, I, Andrei bring you, VODKAAAAAAAA

[tired anvil]

Hey comrade, no swearing

[finite dragon]

blin.

[shrewd raptor]

Who knows, maybe he turns to stone

[wary cove]

[finite dragon]

need help modding my game

[past shuttle]

I also need help

I have found a way to add combat music into Stalker but im STUCK

a program called MP SDK has the ability to do that but

it doesnt save the changes ive made for some reason

and I cant see how to do it either

IM STUCK

[finite dragon]

ffs my savefile bugged again, can someoen explain to me how to mod soc?

[grand pendant]

just drop the gamedata folder that comes with the mod into your SoC folder

if it comes with an installer well, install it

[finite dragon]

im looking at call of chernobyl and arsenal mod, are they good?

also does it change the A.I?

[grand pendant]

CoC isn't for SoC.

which arsenal btw? there are quite a few

[finite dragon]

arsenal overhaul

im looking at call of chernoby

[grand pendant]

well CoC is standalone, which means it doesn't need any other game

[finite dragon]

oh.. well i wanna mod SoC and play the story.

[grand pendant]

well look for SoC mods then

graphics mods or what?

[finite dragon]

graphics mod, dmg mod, ai, guns.

but im looking for foremost AI, Guns and dmg

[grand pendant]

can't get better AI, mods always screw it up

i'd recommend OWR3 and Absolute mods

[finite dragon]

how come, you cant swap an A.I for another?

[grand pendant]

no

[past shuttle]

pls somebody help

why the program doesnt convert the files to ogg format I DONT GET IT

[grand pendant]

go to google, type "ogg converter"

[past shuttle]

No

[grand pendant]

drop your music in there

[past shuttle]

Im using COP SDK

Ive been trying to add combat music for the game

@grand pendant if you know how to then tell me

[grand pendant]

well idk ask in #🔨-technical

[past shuttle]

nobody cares

[grand pendant]

or nobody knows

[finite dragon]

can i not play socs story in coc?

[past shuttle]

then no solutions

[grand pendant]

can i not play socs story in coc?
no

[past shuttle]

fine

[finite dragon]

wait so whats the difference of call of chernobyl and call of pripriat?

[grand pendant]

CoC is a fork of CoP engine, but standalone, not the game

[finite dragon]

also what gun and graphics mod do i use on soc?

[grand pendant]

i'd recommend OWR3 and Absolute mods

[finite dragon]

uhm OWR3 it says call of prepryat

[grand pendant]

search OWR3 for SoC

same with Absolute Nature and Structures, make sure it says "for SoC"

[past shuttle]

no help im getting here, good night boys

[grand pendant]

already told you, nobody knows

[past shuttle]

i knew it

[grand pendant]

google it or something then

[past shuttle]

I did already

[finite dragon]

i said come in dont stand there!

[grand pendant]

bad luck then

[past shuttle]

but the program is problematic

I did everything properly as is told but it doesnt do its job

it saves the changes but not converting them

[grand pendant]

afaik you don't need any program to add music to CoC anyway, just drop the files somewhere in sounds folder

[past shuttle]

and thats the only problem

you sure it would work for combat musics ?

[grand pendant]

no, i never tried, don't care for combat music

[past shuttle]

also only menu music is changable

[grand pendant]

an alternative would be to turn off combat music, tap windows button and put some track in youtube

also only menu music is changable
no

[past shuttle]

not enough ram for that

[grand pendant]

[tired anvil]

Get your phone then

[finite dragon]

OOF ! !

what year you live in bratan? 1966 era of soviet union?

[past shuttle]

have you guys tried even once?

[grand pendant]

no

[tired anvil]

I don't really care for the combat music so no, never tried to change it

[past shuttle]

trying to add a few combat musics?

man you people are so different

or am i the different here?

[grand pendant]

we don't care about combat music

[tired anvil]

You're amongst the first I've seen who want to change it

[grand pendant]

^

[past shuttle]

because when i get into a fight i get goosebumps

[finite dragon]

XAXAXAXAXA

[past shuttle]

but ive become bored of listening the same ones again

so adding a few wouldnt be bad i thought

@finite dragon how dare you call me weak

[tired anvil]

You are a weak man by still not learning the rules

[past shuttle]

rules?

[tired anvil]

That's for MB

But yes, rules

[past shuttle]

what rules ?

[tired anvil]

#📌┃rules

These rules

[finite dragon]

id rather not comment certain rules but yea. seems im in a pg 13 discord about a game thats in fictional radiation zones.

[grand pendant]

this gotta be the last verbal warning for you @finite dragon , you do it very often

[tired anvil]

You don't need to comment about the rules. They're there for a reason

GSC already got bashed over them once

[past shuttle]

what did i do wrong ?

[finite dragon]

doesnt make alot of sense if you ask me. and thats fine, it will be my last one as il leave, once more, this discord is too PG when its about a game thats radiation, vodka and mutants.

[tired anvil]

Again, talking to MB, not you prince

[past shuttle]

oh ok

[tired anvil]

doesnt make alot of sense if you ask me. and thats fine, it will be my last one as il leave, once more, this discord is too PG when its about a game thats radiation, vodka and mutants.
Biggest reason being the fact that the media cried over them

When the server was originally launched

Oh he's gone

[past shuttle]

yeah he is gone

[grand pendant]

you see that's a smart lad, doesn't like the rules so he leaves, instead of complaining everyday

[past shuttle]

lol

man

I would never imagine that adding new combat music into stalker would be THAT hard

Im surely making a mistake so im gonna keep tryin

[tired anvil]

Good luck with that

[past shuttle]

@tired anvil well thank you

wait

[tired anvil]

?

[past shuttle]

they dont appear in the file

but when i go look around those files in the program

they appear ???

wait what

[tired anvil]

[past shuttle]

lemme give an ss and you will see

[open lintel]

a what?

[past shuttle]

screenshot @open lintel

[tranquil lake]

[past shuttle]

no

dont you say you thought that one

you people are worse than me

[open lintel]

just checking c:

[past shuttle]

bruh

[tired anvil]

I guess others aren't used to that term as much

[past shuttle]

maybe

I will try to figure this incredible program out

maybe my luck will come

how? just how?

[grand pendant]

do you even know what are you doing? 'cause pressing buttons randomly won't help you

[languid harbor]

ANARCHISTS AND BANDITS

nothing will stop duty from winning

[grand pendant]

ok

[languid harbor]

😾

[past shuttle]

Im not doing kid stuff

Im trying to find a way to save those files as ogg files

the program see them but windows cant

[grand pendant]

which file? a song in .mp3 right

[past shuttle]

no wav files

[grand pendant]

dude

go to google and type "convert .wav to .ogg"

[past shuttle]

then ?

[grand pendant]

this is literally kid stuff lol

[past shuttle]

just place them ?

[grand pendant]

place them in the right folder, ofc

[tranquil lake]

I found audacity works well if you don’t find it online

[past shuttle]

converting the files arent the problem

I did that but the game doesnt see them for some reason

tried placing but no

[grand pendant]

where did you place them

[past shuttle]

gamedata-sounds-music

[grand pendant]

pretty sure there is another folder regarding combat music

[past shuttle]

adding ''combat'' folder?

[grand pendant]

no, there has to be another folder.

[past shuttle]

no other folder exists there

[grand pendant]

right, no idea then, it isn't named combat music, afaik

[past shuttle]

hm

[grand pendant]

ah i see the picture you sent, ofc not, you need to unpack the files

[past shuttle]

unpack what

[grand pendant]

nah, listen, i don't have time right now, sorry. Just figure out how to unpack the game files

[past shuttle]

:/

[grand pendant]

keep asking in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications though

[past shuttle]

I have an idea

I added a folder ''combatmusic'' and if this works Id be damn happy

lets see what will happen

[grand pendant]

it won't work

[past shuttle]

hm

[grand pendant]

unpack the files, or it won't work. You need to know where the combat music comes from in the first place

[past shuttle]

some serious stuff you mean

[grand pendant]

i'm half sure it comes form SFX folder

some serious stuff
no, this is the most basic stuff lmao

ig nobody cares combat music, just get the directory

[past shuttle]

I dont know how to, do i need a program

[grand pendant]

yes

[past shuttle]

oh no

@grand pendant whats the name of it

[grand pendant]

there are few, CoP extractor, CoC extractor, etc

make sure it has to do with CoP or CoC though

[past shuttle]

man

so confusing

I really need help

[past shuttle]

it feels like its no use

[wary cove]

welcome to the modding universe

I can't guarantee this would work for CoC bc this is for vanilla game, but maybe you can find some useful tips for file conversion and such https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/tutorials/stalker-audio-commentingconversion

anyways, since no one seems to know how to do what you want to do, perhaps consider emailing the mod maker(s) about the matter as a last resort

[grand pendant]

i told him what to do, he just needs to get good

[wild prawn]

yo whats the best mod for cop or is vanilla the best experience

[grand pendant]

vanilla best experience

[wild prawn]

how dat

[grand pendant]

it just be

[wild prawn]

why dat

[coral mango]

hi

[grand pendant]

[wild prawn]

howa bout difficulty?

[feral verge]

STCoP is one of the biggest recommendations

Reworks the gunplay to make it not awful and adds new guns

[grand pendant]

howa bout difficulty?
to make it easier or harder?

STCoP is the best choice but adds new weapons, if you want to keep vanilla guns with better quality go for OWR3

[feral verge]

You can also use atmosfear for the fancy graphics or whatever

[grand pendant]

Make sure to throw in Absolute mods before AtmosFear 3

[wild prawn]

i meaning just whats the best experience difficulty wise

aboslute mods?

[grand pendant]

if you didn't play vanilla yet go play it so you know what is up. It would be stupid to mod a game if you don't even know how it works

aboslute mods?
Absolute Nature & Absolute Structures

[wild prawn]

i have played it im just going back to it becasue i didnt play it enough

[grand pendant]

play it again until you have a general view of it

some prefer vanilla, some modded. Make your own choice based on your experience

[feral verge]

Or just play with the mods now

There's no requirement to play vanilla at all, do whatever you want

[wild prawn]

so what does diffculty do and what seams the most immersive or best

[grand pendant]

higher difficulty = game harder

[gusty trench]

Lower difficulty = game easier

[wild prawn]

yo can i not eat pigs?

[summer cove]

medium difficulty = medium game difficulty

[raw oracle]

so what does diffculty do and what seams the most immersive or best
@wild prawn hardest and play it in 144p on a soviet computer

[sullen dragon]

lower difficulty = baby mode

[tranquil lake]

Or fun mode, I always like playing games on easy because I get to be the super soldier that just eats bullets and crushed enemies

[feral verge]

That gets boring 6 seconds in for most people

Being OP from the start tends to be extremely boring

[finite dragon]

p

[viral sandal]

lowering the difficulty is literally just time optimization

[wild prawn]

would misery plus the 2 absoulute mods work?

[grand pendant]

nope

[finite dragon]

dont play misery anyway, its garbage

[wild prawn]

whys that

[grand pendant]

it isn't, he just needs to get good

[stable pasture]

Play anomaly
Its better

[grand pendant]

false

[pseudo rivet]

False

[finite dragon]

anomaly isnt friendly at all if you are new tho

military are like gods in there and their aim is gauss tier

[languid harbor]

Its worse than getting past the military in clear sky

in cordon

[robust forge]

First of all

What do you think you're doing by playing a mod first

[languid harbor]

preparing for the wish granter monoliths

[finite dragon]

tf are you smoking

playing mods wont help you at all

if youre bad at stalker or any fps then you just have to try and error

[languid harbor]

bloodsucker cannabis

I played clear sky and shadow of chernobyl before anomaly and coc but i haven't finished call of pripyat

even then i was never at the locations of cop in the modded games

[past shuttle]

bruh

[languid harbor]

[finite dragon]

its still dumb to play mods before you play the games as mods are overmajoritly worse then the base game

especialy by stalker

[languid harbor]

Yea

[finite dragon]

play stalker, then the mods

its so simple

[languid harbor]

[silk viper]

I have searched all over for a way to get to the other side of the fence in the Great Swamps for the Living Legend quest in anomoly but the only place I see theres an invisible wall

[finite dragon]

you appearently didnt search good enough

[arctic rover]

"anomoly"

[summer haven]

[finite dragon]

[slim sundial]

[timber flame]

About to enter lab x16

Should I bring my 6 barrel launcher

[gusty trench]

Yes

[languid harbor]

200 rounds of 5.45 should be enough as well

but its not fun compared to a grenade launcher

[timber flame]

I got 11 grenades 12 medkits 330 5.56 for my GP 37 and 73 rounds for my chaser shotgun

[languid harbor]

yeehaw

kill dem zombies

[viral sandal]

you have a lot more loot than I do because I just finished x-18 @timber flame

[finite dragon]

@timber flame till the last part all you need is a shotgun

when you get to the spiral then you will get gp rocking

[wild prawn]

in misery my flash light is actually a flash light...

📸

[finite dragon]

flashlights are for plebs

you dont need a flashlight if you spray a PMm and end up landing 12 headshots accidentally in the darkness

[tired anvil]

You find direction from the muzzle flash of the PMm

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil who needs a compass when you have pmm

[exotic valley]

ElLo gOiz

[past shuttle]

pleb means rookie?

[stable pasture]

Always keep a PMM on you at all times
Not for killing
But for luck

[past shuttle]

bruh

I dont cuz its the weakest gun

[stable pasture]

The PMM has always given better luck
When traversing anomalys
Or in a pinch

[wary cove]

I gave a rpg-7u to a loner and he just killed himself while trying to kill a pack of rodents with it

[stable pasture]

He died going out with a boom

[native ibex]

Gave, eh?

Donate button?

I have too many stuff in my pripyat stash box so I decided to give away the weapons I don't use

let’s take down a chimera with bolts

[grand pendant]

not impossible, stream

[sullen dragon]

shhh

[wild prawn]

in one of the first missions for cop u hit up a ship. in misery u cant tell whos who on the radar... SHOOT INTO DARK MAX GAINS

[narrow echo]

playing misery

[grand pendant]

it's EZ, if you die it's because you rushed it. And most of the times not even that will kill you

[finite dragon]

chimeras are easy to deal with

just shoot at it

[wary cove]

the closer the merrier

[finite dragon]

Sarcophagus should have been a grand atmospheric expireince, not a linear series of gunfights

[narrow echo]

Think we'll get gameplay at gamescom?

[grand pendant]

why would Strelok go there without a reason? he wanted to get there to open the locked door, he didn't go there to just explore the place

it's obviously gonna be linear

[narrow echo]

The cnpp is generally disappointing tho

[nimble saddle]

idk whether i was right or wrong. i guess ill never know, but i made it and i guess i should be thankful for that.

[narrow echo]

Freeplay mods: remember strelok yeah me neither go shut off the brain scorcher and miracle machine

Strelok: guess i was wrong.

[nimble saddle]

well you see, we know strelok (you) did that, but i guess the monolith turned it back on! and the miracle machine i hear you ask? well the snorks over there turned it on. its not like strelok killed every living creature that is hostile to him in every map he goes to, but you have to do this again.

[past shuttle]

I gave a rpg-7u to a loner and he just killed himself while trying to kill a pack of rodents with it
@wary cove BRUH

same thing happened to my playthrough as well

a monolith with an rpg killed himself

while trying to kill me

its so funny

[solid dome]

you dont need a flashlight if you spray a PMm and end up landing 12 headshots accidentally in the darkness
@finite dragon

You! You're one hell of a PMm Master

Twelve headshots in the dark. Greatest achievement of yours.

[finite dragon]

wait who

[bleak zinc]

just point your gun close to the target and the PMm will do it automatically

[finite dragon]

PMms work better with nemiroff

Presicion Bonus 200%

[bleak zinc]

yeah

[viral sandal]

hmm

[native ibex]

Hey guys

[bleak zinc]

what

[past shuttle]

bruh

[bleak zinc]

[finite dragon]

Skat-9M worth for 160k?

over exoskeleton for 200k

[gusty trench]

Anomaly?

[finite dragon]

@finite dragon no skat is heavy and wont let u sprint for long imo

take exo and fully mod it. easier said than done

but it will help you more in the long run

plus exo has nvd and closed cycle rebreather i think

[silk viper]

Tried to get in my tent and it killed me

[finite dragon]

what killed you

[silk viper]

the tent

[finite dragon]

[silk viper]

[finite dragon]

real stalker sleeps in blood sucker lair comrade

[silk viper]

Just wanted some sleep

[finite dragon]

tents are for plebs

[silk viper]

Wouldnt let me put out my bed roll lol

So put the tent out first then tried to lay the sleeping bag

[bleak zinc]

real stalkers sleep on anomalies

[finite dragon]

which mod

[silk viper]

tbh I wish I could

[finite dragon]

@bleak zinc man sleeping in the center of an anomalous area sounds great

[silk viper]

xD

[bleak zinc]

yeah

[finite dragon]

fortified by the zone

[silk viper]

A alot of anomolies are actually pretty cool to be in

[finite dragon]

bruh if i knew i shouldnt touch rocc

it sucks u cant play after finishing main story tbh

i couldnt get canon endings because of a bug

[bleak zinc]

[finite dragon]

idk i fought my way through a lot of ooga chakas and touched rocc

[bleak zinc]

i didnt fight

[tired anvil]

i couldnt get canon endings because of a bug
You being a bruh moment and having over 50k Rubles isn't a bug

[finite dragon]

strelok's sports car speed is really useful

[silk viper]

[finite dragon]

i was using two flash artifacts and anti rad artifacts. and i was ripping through the fanatics with a tunder

i got like 900 bullets and reached rocc with like 200 left lol

@tired anvil tramp sent me an invite to a server lol

[gusty trench]

[finite dragon]

whats ur favourite gun in the trilogy guys

[hollow prairie]

Any gun what helping me to kill unfaithful

[silk viper]

Probably FN FAL

Also love my SVT

[finite dragon]

the FN is hella good.

i personally had a lot of fun with AC-96s and Tunders.

[wary cove]

Svd and avalanche, I think

[silk viper]

❤️

[tired anvil]

Avalanche

[finite dragon]

i wish S2 has more 7.62x39 guns and a saiga 12 maybe

[silk viper]

Saiga best for killing mutant

[finite dragon]

headshots doe

first i played the game i thought it sucked because gun have low damage

then i realized thats my fault for not aimming to the head lol

[tired anvil]

And for running whilst shooting

[wary cove]

[silk viper]

7.62x39 is VAL right?

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil nah that isnt a mistake

thats called a massacre if u play doom ost

plus cs and cop are mostly based on moving because if u take cover and shoot u will end up being naded

[tired anvil]

Granata

Monohleeth monohleeth monohleeth

Soon we will purge the zone of you sinners.

(rather enjoying my Anomaly playthough as Monolith, fun being enemies with everyone)

[tired anvil]

Cool

[past shuttle]

can i ask something

I extracted the db sound file of CoC

do the extracted files still work?

I mean does the game still uses them or continues using the db file?

[silk viper]

You replaced the file?

[past shuttle]

added more file

more ogg (music) files

I saw that the original combat musics were split in parts

so i did the same for the same files i added

@tired anvil bro help me pls

[tired anvil]

I never bothered with any of that, sorry

[past shuttle]

dammit

I cant believe nobody in the whole server cared about combat music at all

if anyone knows, please tag me PLEASE

[hazy raven]

I didn´t like much the combat music at least in COP. And it also doesn´t fit Stalker much. Though I liked the one custom at Winds of time.

[past shuttle]

I just wanted to add a few

but failed several times

why is it so hard?

[solid dome]

Yeah

Unpacked data works only if you've enabled that in the LTX config

[upper heath]

Clear sky is my fav stalker. With srp and if you avoid doing faction wars. It's quite good.

Sike

Soc is best. Soc is my daddy

[open lintel]

@past shuttle much more luck if you were to ask in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications or #🔨-technical

what I would do in your shoes, is go and find a mod that does add music tracks, and copy what they did to learn how to do it

[past shuttle]

did it already

[open lintel]

nice

[past shuttle]

I mean

I did ask there

I saw a cs combat music addon but not sure if it works

[open lintel]

when I started modding, that was what I did. Reverse engineer someone elses mod, take a look at their code and see how it functioned

tho, my modding in stalker specifically is incredibly limited to making small adjustments to files already existing.

[finite dragon]

so i am confused, is there a new stalker title planned and if yes, when will it come out? i dont hear anything

nvm i just found the trailer

[round wedge]

i wonder where the phrase "Such is life in the zone" comes from originally

I can't find a first source on whoever said it

[lyric forge]

so i am confused, is there a new stalker title planned and if yes, when will it come out? i dont hear anything

[round wedge]

Yes, STALKER 2 is coming out in 2021

[lyric forge]

hopefully

[modest shadow]

Hopefully

Wish granter is a hecking female canis lupus familiaris, you never know what twist It'll make

[finite dragon]

wat

[wary cove]

[open lintel]

@round wedge not exactly true. 2.0.2.1 was apart of a code/cypher which has since ended

https://discordapp.com/channels/504587323577729024/504592534081896458/679751919950233631

there currently is no "release date", as GSC have not come out and said anything about that yet, and when asked they are under NDA (non-disclosure agreement) to not tell us anything about the game currently.

best to keep your eyes out for any msgs in #📰┃announcement

you will find all the accurate information there

or ofc, check out #📗┃s2-faq

(slightly larger faq located here:)
https://www.stalker2.com/lang/faq_en.html

[finite dragon]

(though xbox did say "next year")

gsc hasnt acknowledged this yet though

[autumn shale]

yeah

it's better to wait for an official announcement from GSC

I am really curious about the story aspect tbh

[waxen blaze]

GSC won't be in gamescom YEAH? :(

[brisk harness]

YEAH

[upper heath]

I have a feeling that the USS and Mercenaries will play a bigger role in stalker 2

Suggested by the stalker cop ending where one of the slides says that merc activity grows in the zone and that the USS can't ignore it anymore

[finite dragon]

simply depents on wich ending is canon

[past shuttle]

maybe we will get to see degtyarev again

[native ibex]

Go Mercs

We're like, pretty cool

or just stay here with us

[upper heath]

@finite dragon the Merc slide is inevitable. Happens in all endings

[finite dragon]

good to know

you know, i have a feeling many ppl will be disapointed with stalker 2

not becous its bad or anything but becous it wont be soc 2.0

ppl will say its not like stalker yet stalker doesnt have a prober consistent theme

[thin pasture]

There is already strramers reacting to stalker 2 and the only they say is "is this metro 2?" " Another metro game"

[finite dragon]

ofc there is, there wasnt a new stalker game for a decade

[thin pasture]

Thats why i hate when new people come to stalker

The new people

[finite dragon]

The new people

There is already strramers reacting to stalker 2 and the only they say is "is this metro 2?" " Another metro game"
I hate this so much like holy sh** how can you be this stupid?

sas the guy with a hazbin homottel pfp

Meh, whatever

[upper heath]

Tbh. Lots of new players just play coc or anomaly thinking its better than the original games

[gusty trench]

Imao

[finite dragon]

They are better than the original games

But everyone should play the first 3 games vanilla first

[gusty trench]

must*

[finite dragon]

must*
Yes, must

you can tell that someone likes a show like hobotell that he has a bad taste

Cool

Anything else?

whens the next episode gonna come out, huh?

or is the lead a bad orginisator and cant acutally produce a show

Absolutely not, it got partnered up with A24 recently

whens the next episode gonna come out

I dont know

I imagine with A24 work is gonna be achieved pretty quickly

[past shuttle]

did anyone play the lttz?

lost to the zone mod for CoC

[finite dragon]

Misery has me invested really bad in it

the only problem is the random crashes and bullshitery that is enemy Aim lol

[past shuttle]

I completed living legend and mortal sin storylines but

sid gave me another mission for there was a disruption in radio waves in iron forest, zaton

checked everywhere but still no clue

oh now i got it BRUH

[desert flame]

What are the good game changing mods for stalker call of pripyat?

[heavy root]

gunslinger is pretty good

[still ridge]

Game changing in what aspect?

[heavy root]

Guns

[still ridge]

Asking the other guy

but he could be asking for story mods too

[desert flame]

I mean completely game changing, I just finished it in vanilla

so yeah, new story

and maybe new features, items, etc. so new guns too. Mainly something which adds new things that can make it replayable

[still ridge]

Anomaly comes to mind

Have you played the other games in the series?

[desert flame]

only the first one

and call of pripyat

[still ridge]

Ok yeah anomaly

@tranquil lake help this young lad out

[tranquil lake]

Why do you need help?

[robust vine]

Depends on which game and the mods you wan't

[silk viper]

Which game is the cordon from?

[tired anvil]

SoC and CS

[silk viper]

Thats what I was thinking thanks, been a long time since I played those

I'm in that area a lot in Anomaly and was wondering

[silk viper]

Is there not a place to see all quests youve accepted?

[tired anvil]

Your PDA?

[silk viper]

Oh im an idiot

I knew that

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

Guys playing SoC 1.6 with ZRP installed, on Master difficulty and pumped up both gun accuracy and dmg for both me and the enemies... Bes' unique AK-74/2U Special takes about 5-8 torso shots to kill a bandit and sometimes even 2 headshots. Yet enemies take half my health bar with a single pistol shot. Is this a bug or did I mess up something in ZRP's settings?

There's also the issue of enemies hitting me with all their shots from 1km away yet I miss most of my shots at about 50m distance. :S

[lyric forge]

Just aim for the head, no point in going for torso, enemies are bullet sponges

[finite dragon]

Yeah but this honestly feels more like I messed up the settings on ZRP than the typical SoC sponginess. Accuracy is also completely screwed up even though I set guns to be as accurate as possible 🤷‍♂️

[lyric forge]

Ah didn’t see the mod part, apologies.

[grand pendant]

nah, that sounds vanilla to me, even a bit better

[finite dragon]

What? I feel like I'm not explaining myself properly.. lol

[tired anvil]

Or we're all dyslexic

[grand pendant]

5-8 torso shots to kill, sometimes 2 headshots, enemies deal quite a bit of damage, enemies hit from 1km yet you miss at 50m. Seems normal

[finite dragon]

Yeah, seems normal for vanilla.. not after modifying the game so it doesn't work like that

Which I've done before, but now it doesn't seem to be working.

[grand pendant]

worst case scenario you have the same values as vanilla, didn't make it harder

and i doubt you can mess up ZRP settings, after all it's just clicking options. Try reinstalling or just assume that it wasn't improved that much

[finite dragon]

So basically 'tough luck'

Thanks for the assistance 😆

[narrow echo]

forgot how easy shoc was

[narrow echo]

stupid question but can you repair gear in shoc

[grand pendant]

you can't

[narrow echo]

damn

gonna need to buy another seva then lmao

[finite dragon]

Tbh I’d larp a stalker thing

Say like 2-500 stalker fans meet up and stuff

Actual organized with air soft guns

Faction bases and everything

Locations on the map

God Id love that and I actually hate larping

But judging on how edgy the stalker community is there’d most likely be a group of like 20 bandits

[grand pendant]

i only have bandit clothing, so that's what i would run for

imagine paying 200 + 150 of shipment for a zarya

[wild prawn]

😎 stalker but with updates and not old

[narrow echo]

judging by how edgy the stalker community is the bandit larpers would start actually robbing people

and bring like actual guns into the mock up of the zone lmao

[sick topaz]

bruuuuh

max immersion though

[finite dragon]

and bring like actual guns into the mock up of the zone lmao
@narrow echo yeah

Imagine if we implement like 100-600k worth of fake rubles into the area

[narrow echo]

people would die

[finite dragon]

Some realistic air soft guns would be dope

i only have bandit clothing, so that's what i would run for
@grand pendant I might get a freedom suit

[grand pendant]

great, best suits

[finite dragon]

There’s a pretty nice sunrise suit for 250 though

[sick topaz]

wait so waht are we talking about?

[grand pendant]

Sunrise don't look too good in real life, at least to me. Wind of Freedom looks pretty nice

[sick topaz]

like larping, right?

[grand pendant]

yeah, about the clothing you'd wear

[finite dragon]

Send me the wind of freedom suit ur looking at

The one I sall looked fairly crap

[narrow echo]

i like the real life suits with 2L bottles screwed into the back lmao

[grand pendant]

lol, you can't see it anymore, shame

[finite dragon]

Yeah

[grand pendant]

guess it sold out, looks nice in google images

[finite dragon]

Send in dms

etsy has some really overpriced suits

they all look like crap though

[grand pendant]

i don't really look this kind of stuff, i wouldn't buy them unless i get rich and stop caring about money

those are nice suits, but 200 bucks for a few uses, nah

[finite dragon]

how much was the wind of freedom suit?

[grand pendant]

185 euros

[finite dragon]

what

for that good of a suit

etsy some scammers

[narrow echo]

i think stalker 2 needs gunsmithing

[gusty trench]

Dmitry Yasenev about previous S2 engine

If I'm not wrong, S2 developement started only in the 2008. At the start, only 2 men was developing the engine itself. Large-scaled developement started only after Call of Pripyat release. There was an attempt to launch X-Ray on Xbox 360, but unsuccessfully. That's why new engine developement was based on this information. Also that's reason of refusal of the one allocator usage everywhere, asynchronous resources loading, refusal of Lua as scripting language usage (it only had use for the configuration files), multithreading architecture with task system and etc.
In addition, we decided to use physically based BRDF, fixed render errors (gamma-correction, normal-mapping and etc), planned to make levels with no transitions, separated resource presentation, which were used by designers, from resources, which were used by engine. It means, that we started to compile resources for different platforms (and DirectX too) in different formats and designers stopped properties embedding for texture channels.
We also changed pipeline of developement, system version control (switched Subversion to Mercurial - HG), implemented build-machine, started the text writing. Redactor developement was led on Managed C++ and C#

[timber flame]

I have a question, what is the weird crater looking thing in the Clear Sky wallpaper

[gusty trench]

Can you post it in the #💬┃en_offtop?

[native ibex]

Let's get some news about returning factions

I want to know which outfits I'm going to see remastered with today's clothing physics

[small dust]

@timber flame unused Anomaly that was in the game at some point

[timber flame]

Awww what was it supposed to do

[finite dragon]

Uhh I killed the guys at the Duty checkpoint before going to the Institute cuz I don't like being called a loser, and now that I have to go to the bar, every Duty is shooting me on sight

Did I screw up my game? xD

[past shuttle]

yea literally

unless you hate duty much, you should just stay neutral with them

I first liked duty

then switched to cs and here i am

[finite dragon]

So I literally cant progress the story now??

[timber flame]

You can, its just gonna suck

I'm duty friendly, makes everything so much easier

[finite dragon]

Im tryin to ask if I can get to the barkeep without being shot on sight

And if I fight my way in will barkeep still talk to me?

[hazy raven]

Barkeep is in Traders faction, so he should talk with you. But get ready for having to fight every time you would need to cross the Rostok. Unless the Dutiers don´t respawn on death.

[finite dragon]

Welp I've just massacred the entire Duty camp

Tons of loot and I now have over 50k roubles (had around 2000 before lol) and Unique weapons of each type

Everything worked out in the end I guess 🤷‍♂️

[wicked current]

[hazy path]

Anyone know of any european gaming events/conventions where they might reveal more from the game?

[tired anvil]

The only one that comes to mind atm

They were here last year

[hazy path]

Interesting. That's only 3 months away

[timber flame]

I have a question about x16 if someone can answer

What happened there, did something explode or what

[narrow echo]

around the time of the first Chernobyl Disaster, they accidentally drained the lake that used to be Yantar into it

then the miracle machine got turned on at some point, and pair that with the second Disaster. The place just has bad luck

[grand pendant]

same that happened with reactor 4, malfunction of cooling system

[bright musk]

yeah that happened in short

but the long story is more interesting

[past shuttle]

yo guys

Im gonna show you something that will blow your minds away

[woven fern]

is it possible to join ecologists in soc?

[tired anvil]

You can't really join any faction in SoC

[gusty trench]

Well. You can, but

Not ecologists, only Freedom

[woven fern]

NOOOOOO

i wanted to be science boi

[woven fern]

also im talking to the chef, but hs not revealing any info about the bulldog 6

what do i do?

[timber flame]

I already ravaged the freedom base with the group of Dutiers who were waiting around it and stole the bulldog

Also you can get another one in a building in the bloodsucker village

[still ridge]

Da man himself

[lucid elm]

I hope they have unlimited sidequests like in Anomaly or CoC

And a huge amount of weapons with customizability, like scopes, grips and whatnot

[sick topaz]

yeah, while i think it works okay in like, CoC, i would like more customization, weapon wize

i mean, not like payday customization levels, but more just, differing scopes, grips, stocks, the works

[silk viper]

Anyone know why anomaly keeps crashing?

From what I can tell though, you have a bugged poltergeist or something similar

Loading a previous save and re-entering the map might work

hello

I recently got stalker and I've been enjoying it very much

at first I like, did not get the game. I was under the impression it was something like Call Of Duty where everything is Linear but after a friend told me that it's like... very open like DnD i started enjoying it a whole lot.

[finite dragon]

how do i get the code for the door at the radar

like there is a door on the way to Rainbow

where a sniper with an SVD stands.

[grand pendant]

search the corpses around, one of them should have the code

it's a "scientist" stalker

[finite dragon]

yeah three corpses, none had a code 🤷‍♂️

[grand pendant]

keep looking around, you can't tell where this guy will spawn, afaik. But you aren't missing much, so if you want, the pop-up after you loot the right corpse should be:
||"The dead scientist had some kind of map with a door mark. Code 1287975"||

[finite dragon]

well on my way out i will check again, ty though

i disabled BS and i'm digging my way out with a goddamn pmm only

this sucks so much, but it is still fun in a way i don't understand

I wonder how demanding stalker 2 will be, I play hell let loose that also uses unreal engine 4 and i can manage 50fps avg, with a gtx 970 and 8gb ram

[native ibex]

That's pre-10 series, right?

So that's like, pretty good

[oblique plume]

and that game is 50v50 on huge maps

multiplayer

[native ibex]

Well, if it's a real STALKER game, it'll not run at all for longer than 15 minutes

[oblique plume]

idk why people mention how buggy stalkers are, i played them all and im currently playing clear sky which the majority says its the most buggy and it only crashed twice, going for 40hs of gameplay

[native ibex]

Idk, I had a lit more crashes early in

[oblique plume]

once when loading and another when i tried to loot someone

[native ibex]

But over time X-ray just magically adjusted

[oblique plume]

I think that these types of game attract a lot of non mainstream people with weaker pcs with non standard parts, especially around 2008

[native ibex]

I'm gonna wait and see what AMD has up it's sleeve.
I know Nvidia is going for the usual powerhouse card at powerhouse prices, but AMD always finds a way to deliver slightly less performance at much lower prices.

[oblique plume]

hence a lot of people complaining about crashes

when the standard stalker player has pirated windows with old drivers and old hdds with shady mobos

[native ibex]

Slavs

[oblique plume]

no not really people from south america north america as well just not the mainstream kind of players with 1st brand stuff

[native ibex]

Oh, right, right.
Venezuela.

[oblique plume]

also the game is pretty much ran by the gpu, which makes it harder to run smoothly

[neat hare]

i am gonna try to download call of chernobyl again

it did not work so well last time

[native ibex]

Anomaly is a more satisfying experience, you ask me

[oblique plume]

but when you tweak a couple of settings like sun rays, shadows aa it runs like butter

[native ibex]

CoC is like some kind of arcadey STALKER

Yeah, if you aren't cursed with micro-stuttering

[neat hare]

i like arcadey stuff

[native ibex]

Also, water wrecks my performance for some reason.

[neat hare]

water only wrecks my performance on source engine games

for some reason

[oblique plume]

i found that mods that change the graphics kill performance and the stock graphics are just fine, specially for their time they look pretty good if you ask me

[native ibex]

It started with tech available in like 2003

So that explains why it doesnt at least look like a PS3 game

[oblique plume]

Im running clear sky with SRP and some of its optional features that change ballistics and add sleeping bag and its one of the most inmersive fps to date

max the game out and it looks really nice, no need to add mods, i consider adding mods to add replayability but even then... not really needed imo i always prefer a smooth experience before added simulation or inmersion

[native ibex]

I need the immersion

I also need mutants that make me afraid, cause all of STALKER's mutants are one-trick ponies

[neat hare]

lmao no

fighting a trio of bloodsuckers at night is no joke

[oblique plume]

bloodsucker be like "im fast as fack boooooiiiiii" then NOM u ded

[native ibex]

The one-trick pony thing is quite untouched by your objection

[neat hare]

doesnt matter

thats your opinion

[native ibex]

What you said was an opinion

I don't find bloodsuckers scary, but rather cheap.

[neat hare]

well i get scared easily so that explains why i fear them so much

bloodsucker be like "im fast as fack boooooiiiiii" then NOM u ded
@oblique plume they give you a slap across the face

[native ibex]

Something with the ferocity of a chimera and the intelligence of a murderous human would be my terror.

A mutant that enjoys hunting humans for sport is way more fun

[neat hare]

but controllers do this i think

[native ibex]

True, but they walk in a straight line and more or less play peekaboo

[oblique plume]

:yautja knows your location: : )

[neat hare]

ah yes

angery masked alien bois

with a shoulder cannon

[oblique plume]

one of the best soundtracks ever, atmosphere so thicc you can cut it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcsQ-cnIm5Q

[native ibex]

I would like that Sin faction to show up.
Get imprisoned by them and have to sneak away with no weapons.
Good classic defenseless level to shake things up.

[neat hare]

nah thats way too overused

and not fun at all

[native ibex]

Depends on how you use it
