Hi Guys

do anyone have an idea of how to save the military squad in unidentifed weapon mission in Call of pripyat?

you go to your steam library > right click on the game > properties > local files > check the game files

Zakhar Bocharov about GSC
- I'm very lucky with my new colleagues. GSC is a great group. I don't think I would be as welcome as in GSC on a different place. I already had a will to talk to them. But here they are, your co-workers, be closer to them, discover what people are they, what topic you would discuss with them, how would you spend time with them. Everything is all over again.

Hallo
wary cove
in unidentified weapon task in COP i have to save those guys
In the hospital mission you should be quick to eliminate the snipers and the preacher bc they're the ones who often kill them fast (yet that doesn't guarantee that they won't get killed by the rest of the Monolithians) Some said you can glitch the mission by not approaching tarasov when he's s giving instructions so they'll stay behind the tank instead. I tried that glitch but sometimes one or two of them get killed anyways.
I'd like to try this the next time: wait until night to trigger the mission +glitch tarasov's speech, sneak into the right wing of the hospital and quietly knife one by one while they're asleep or preaching

I'll post some translations of this interview with Zakhar Bocharov - PR manager of GSC - here later. Stay alert

26:48 How did he became a part of GSC
- ...Everything was fine until I met S2 guys on GameScom 2017. So I had a soft interview, where we were walking and talking to each other in Germany nearby the cathedral for 1,5 hour. I was told that they have free PR vacancy. Then I got back to Moscow and continued to work for DTF, and after about 2-2,5 months offer said "why not?". I was very impressed ... I was sitting at the PC with tea and got a message on my Yahoo, that my plan is approaved, and I got a message that I have 10k dollars on my account... So after that, I moved to Ukraine. I didn't know If I could do it, If I could get pass through the border, live in that country, find myself a place to live and etc. I had a lot of problematic moments, that I had to go through.
- Yeah. It was 2019?
- Last year, yes.
- There was some story not so long time ago, when male russians couldn't get through Ukraine due to events of 2014, and things like this still happe... Was it hard to move to Ukraine? Like, unusual things can happen?
- I'm definietly not going to talk about politics. I'm just going to say, that moving to Ukraine wasn't hard. I was too worried about the problems I could have, but the real problems weren't as hard as I would thought...

is there any good shader for cs?
grand pendant
no
hushed aurora
I cant believe from my 100 screenshots i don't have one getting grenade spammed
fair crater
aw
grand pendant
and texture mods for CS are bad
mostly because they add a lot of stuff, not just textures separately
and you end up playing something else instead of clear sky, which is dumb
fair crater
im planning to use absolute texture is it ok?
grand pendant
that one is bad
fair crater
aye
grand pendant
any of those absolute packs for cs are bad, old versions
hushed aurora

is there any good shader for cs?
CS ultra graphics are already amazing, why do you need mods...

grand pendant
you'll miss some funny/historical moments by going with srp but it's fine, i guess
hushed aurora
||SRP removes your starting AK|| 
sand fiber
Well, actually, CS is totally broken
So... Well, yeah, i'd advise to install some bugfixes. But...
grand pendant
meh, it's not necessary
sand fiber
Why can't you just play vanilla
grand pendant
and srp doesn't even change it that much
grand pendant
if you are gonna play only once then do whatever you want
just don't go blaming it on the game if you break it 
sand fiber
Vanilla expirience is already complete, but bruh.
sand fiber
None of bugfixes will fix CS
fair crater
better some then none right?
sand fiber
Nah. Better what it actually is 
fair crater
i dont want to see monoliths swimming in the ground again
sand fiber
Bugfixes don't fix this or anything like this.
fair crater
aye
sand fiber
Well...
You know, if you really want to play with not broken faction wars - you can install this

i didn't notice big changes between vanilla and srp anyway
but yeah, it could help with some small issues

- Our whole team works fine on remote. And in some aspects developers work ahead of our plan. It's because they adapted to it. Remote work has been estabilished, because there are always freelancers on the projects. So it's known how to work with them. Some corrections and adaptions and people work just fine. But it's stress...
55:00
- Tell us, what was your discover about the team inside?
- I'm going to say the most obvious thing possible, but the game developing is very hard. Also, I'm going to mention, that I'm marketing and just watch the developement, I don't take part in the developement myself. But the fact that I'm mentally and visually here, with a team, that develops a cool game, that's awesome. I see discussions during breaks, I notice something on the monitors every day, and I can even ask a co-worker what he's up to, I can go to the "Art Departament" and see some nice arts of the locations.
- What is your job at the GSC?
- I'm PR manager of GSC Game World, S2 and marketing. So I'm part of Marketing Departament. There are two departaments, the first one is making the game, and the second one is responsible for marketing. I can't influence the game, but of course I want to learn a lot of new information, bs it's my first time when I take part in the AAA game. I dig into the UE4 engine's editor in my free time, learn some lections. "Thanks" to pandemia, I have a lot of free time for self-education now. One of my popular tweet is where I dig into UE4 editor: 10% of the time when I do something and 90% when I try to realize what's wrong.
- That's usual thing, for sure.
- Yeah. That "Welcome" like in your "It's hard to make games" publication. People in the replies tell me "Welcome to GSC, Zakhar, that's how it works"...

SoC is a prequel to CoP yet you played it
sand fiber
i mean it is a prequel
Well, it has a lot of lore and interesting mechanics even if it's prequel
hushed aurora
So anyways, you asked how the artifacts pop up
You gotta use your detector near an anomaly and detect duh nearby artifacts and get close enough
finite dragon
i was so blind i thought i had to do something for them to appear
i did most of the game just avoiding artifact hunting because i didn't feel like it

not in a cozy rookie camp
tired anvil
As far as I recall, ssseth also barely played CS at all, so yea
fair crater
yeah there is lilttle cs footage
tired anvil
I can only give you one major tip
Don't leave the Swamps until you get a suit called the CS-1. At the start you'll get the CS-3 which is nice, but keep doing missions until you max out your rep and get 15k Rubles, Suslov will sell you the suit
If you leave the swamps, the prince will increase and rep will be reset

- I began to realize, why so many game development teams can't release the game. Sometimes there could be a huge, enormous amount of work, that you must do in a half of a year without knowing how the result will look like. You mostly don't see the result, but you must see "a light in the end of a tunnel" and you must get how it will work and look like. And I think for most of teams, that work on a small budget and for free, it's hard to finish the game. You must have strong willpower...
1:10:10
- Is it hard for you not to share info about new Stalker?
- It's very hard. I mean. I moved from open hipster-like DTF, where you're free to do everything you want to. Like, If I have an idea to do a stream with fortune-teller, f.e., I tell my friends, co-workers, announce whatever I want to on social media, I didn't understand much what responsibility was during that time. Also. During that time Zakhar Bocharov (me) was like a big part of DTF, and now I'm part of GSC, a little like an ant part of GSC. It's like a cult game for players, it's a lifestyle of people, that go into Chernobyl, a lifestyle of people, that's playing mods for 13 years, and it's unreal hype for S2. I'm not even a shadow of it and I think that's how it's supposted to be... Initially, it was very hard to talk to people on social networks. Like, I'm Zakhar Bocharov, a new PR manager of GSC, and I was like, sub to me. Everything, that I wrote during that time, was associated with S2. And it's useless to be pissed of bs of this. People are very interested in it. I think that it's even honourable... I could write something like "Look how HL:A trailer looks like, I'm very amazed, I should ask somebody to give me a VR headset to play it."
And people could say something like: "VR in S2 confirmed", of course it's not true...

@woven fern Interview with GSC PR manager - Zakhar Bocharov
1:14:48
- Let's switch the roles. Like, you're going to be a S2 developer, and we're going to be journalists. "How the game's development going, Zakhar?", "How is S2 going?", "When it will come out?"
- Oh. Everything is fine. Development is actively going. We have signed a contract with Microsoft, they are our partners, not publishers, btw. We are going to release the game on both PC and XBOX Series/S at the same time. The game is going to be available on the first day on GamePass. Hardcore fans point out, that I promised the last year on (didn't get his mumbling correctly "ГеймзГэзами"), that this year (2020) will be more interesting with info about the game, than the previous one. This year we've announced the engine - it's UE4, we've also posted a memeable "Батон" (or bread), that, I think, is my main achievement in PR (of GSC) and it has some notes of irony, we've shown you a screenshot on the birthday (of the game), we've partnered with Microsoft, we've announced the game on consoles, have shown a new trailer and they year didn't over yet. We aren't going to announce the dates of events and, I think, I wasn't lying when I said that this year will be more interesting...
woven fern
Ok
gusty trench
1:20:46
- ...Alexey Makarenko made a video about S2 being in GamePass, where he assumed, that S2 will be a service game. Well. It won't. Everything is ok. We know that fans of the trilogy are waiting for the game release. You are going to have a cool non-linear singleplayer in open world with a lot of gameplay hours. The game is going to be expectedly conservative in some way. (Well. You get it, right? The game is going to stick to the original trilogy). Don't worry, that the game is going to be in a different format. (Maybe he meant a genre or smth)
gusty trench
1:22:09
- How it feels to work on (with) this project. A lot of people involved, as you said, you're important person for a lot of people, many people take everything you say seriously and wait for the game release. Of course we know that it's a big responsibility, but beside this, it's also an interesting project from the point of view of marketer. There are a lot of specific things about it, it's not just a game...
- Yes, but convergence of factors takes place. Firstly, that Sergey made a non-trivial universe, that has a lot of potential, so he came up with some unusual Sci-Fi universe, that you can use to tell a lot of stories. Secondly, people love the Stalker series so much, so even after 11 years later after the last game release people make their own stories, soundtracks, streams, cosplays, paintball games (strange, that he didn't mention СталкерСтрайк), they travel to the Zone, and, of course, don't forget about mods. I think that 90% reasons of why Stalker is still "alive" - modifications ...
i cant mount the scope to akm
@fair crater Use technician
1:29:49
- I think that for western players Stalker atmosphere is more Sci-Fi than for us eastern players. Those post-soviet panel houses, that CNPP disaster, those mysterious forests full of anomalies, those people in gasmasks, that drink vodka with kielbasa, playing on guitar nearby the campfire, that go there to make new sense out of life or to feel alive. It's some romantic "vibe" for them, that more "non-trivial", than it feels for us... Actually, if we visit S2 debut trailer on the Microsoft channel, most of the comments are russian, but we especially asked Microsoft for statistic of views, Europe and America are very close to the top. Maybe they are just scared to write anything in English. And one thing amazed me as well, some asian country is close to that top 5, and, as I remember, it's Japan. A lot of people watched this video in Japan...
- That's fun.
gusty trench
1:32:00
- You mentioned Microsoft... Can you say what's the point of cooperation with Microsoft?
- It means that we are going to publish the game by ourselves on Xbox and PC. So Microsoft doesn't control nor regulate us and it's just mutually beneficial partnership (including our exclusivity and GamePass), they help us to release S2 on consoles (of XBOX) how it supposted to come out. I was really surprised about negotitation with Microsoft, but, of course, I'm controlled by NDA and can't say a lot, but I expected a problematic conversation with Microsoft: burecracy, even simply timing for a call, agreements, but all Microsoft representatives showed their flexibility, their desire to cooperate in all aspects, they were working 24/7, they everytime were ready to negotitate, to discuss everything. I didn't expect that big company to work so flexible. I think that it shows their professionalism ... They became our partners not for nothing, but because they showed themselves as professional people...

So if CC was controlling when to release emissions and now CC is gone, what would happen if factions pushed to the center of The Zone? Emissions occur randomly now.

CC only controlled the Great Emissions, when someone got very close to the Center. Now it's simply unstable af apparently, and nobody has been trying to go there either
now thing is, this isn't specifically canon or anything. Just desdocs, in actual lore i guess the only thing we can say is "The Zone launches Great Emissions when people get near the Center". Wonder if that'll be answered in S2

well there are only like 3 types
would rather bop their heads with pistol than gambling with shotguns
a gamble that somehow i always lose

a hunting rifle will also kill any mutant in 1 shot. Except controllers, needs like 2-3 for that one, and pseudogiants, of course.

in the head?

of course

Obrez can kill a boar in one shot, but can't kill a renegade in two...
fair crater
i think the pistol can also do that

although dogs, pseudodogs, fleshes, boars will do to the body
i think the pistol can also do that
not at all
pistol needs like 5-6 to kill a flesh in the head

Pistol is OP on Swamps

the rifle then

You can kill 8 renegades with PM, which is more than Obrez can
+4 after the upgrade

renegades- discount bandits

renegades can die in like sometimes 1 headshot of a PMm
which can obviously happen with a sawn off as well
fair crater
idk man the shots seem to hit everywhere but the head

Nope. I even tried to use a sight - you'll be lucky if you kill him even with two shots.

eh? before you get to Cordon they definitely die in 1 shot, sometimes
i remember being a headshot machine in the machine yard

the shotgun mechanic is a myth to me, i tried aimming off and they still stray

i say before going to Cordon because anytime i come back to swamps after i never encounter any renegade in my way, but i doubt they are somehow "health-less" or whatever

Yeah but MikeRoweSoft might have just become confused due to the whole ARG thing. They retracted the date too.
tired anvil
It was being developed before the official announcement
We do not know for how long, but it was confirmed by GSC that it started before the 2018 announcement
hushed aurora
Swears aren't allowed btw
tired anvil
Ofc it's not a GSC development timeline
But GSC has said that they have been working before the 2018 announcement
A PR guy of them has said it
finite dragon
Yeah obviously, but like, still, this is not GSC at all
tired anvil
Well yes, it's Microsoft
finite dragon
Like, where's the long development? Where's the american that comes to kick them in the butt and make them work?
tired anvil
The 2000's
hushed aurora
iirc that was SoC's development
finite dragon
Wait didnt one of the PR dudes say in a recent interview that microsoft is not taking part in publishing nor development, but rather only helps to port the game to xbox?
tired anvil
It has been obvious for a while that Microsoft isn't the publisher
In fact we already knew this in 2019
finite dragon
Yeah
tired anvil
Nonetheless, it cooperates with GSC in some ways
So we only have to wait and see what's in stock
finite dragon
Ugh it's just so ambigious since GSC just doesn't come out and definitively confirm or deny some of the rumors
tired anvil
Well, the only thing they said about this was something along the lines of “we did not say anything about a release date, you have to wait, we have a date ready but we aren't ready to announce it in case something goes wrong”

they just teleported to me after I got done holding out
but it says that they're dead
gusty trench
Let's pretend that they are alive
grand pendant
@native ibex yes, when you try to join Duty in Clear Sky, Krylov states a few rules, in which "smoking" is forbidden
because they need "healthy soldiers", then again, it doesn't seem to be respected
regarding other drugs, Duty actually uses lots of drugs on suits upgrades, so mostly veterans or exceptional soldiers will get stuff such as adrenaline shots, anabolics, dubious substances, health regeneration drugs and more
past shuttle
interesting
hey whats up people
clear sky is very different in the whole series
Ive been playing and experiencing that game too and it feels very different
to think that it is inbetween ShoC and CoP...
I want to admit that CS has very unique animations for combat
gusty trench
Yes. Slyth's favourite cover animations
finite dragon
I feel like from SOC to COP is just a timeline of tweaking the game
SoC too ez, made it harder. CS too hard, made it easier. CoP just right
CS is just whack
But I love it
finite dragon
Bullet mechanics
finite dragon
is CoC any good?
past shuttle
@finite dragon Anomaly is much better than CoC
however you can make CoC better by adding add ons
Anomaly contains lots of add ons in itself
thats why its much better than CoC but
Anomaly cant run on a potato pc
requires a beefy pc
as far as I know

There’s so much you can do, so many choices you can make

Nothing happens in those camps, literally nothing. No one tells us that something happens there, no one shows us what bad things can Bandits do.
Nothing, that camp is just some stalkers sitting near anomalies, that's all. And even Bandits weren't shown as merciless, scary people.

I took their base in CS :)
But speaking from a lore and not gameplay perspective, would it be possible?
Also, Freedom use guerilla warfare tactics, right?

They couldn't take the Freedom base too, eh?
Probably because the snipers will Frick up the Dutyers before they even get to the base?

- if they actually got into the base, the Army Warehouses is just way too open

Freedom specializes in long range, while Duty specializes in close combat

They'd get lit up from all positions

I see now, thanks a lot Crimson.
But hurr durr, I killed Lukash with Skull and his squad
Also, if Freedom even attempted to attack Rostok, many free stalkers would die too from stray bullets and crap?
Basically, Freedom getting free stalkers killed in their own conflict?

Free Stalkers also come to the Army Warehouses, but you just don't see it in-game

I think they might warn them to get out of that area before the shooting begins (?)

They probably became actual friends during the events of SoC
Although, Duty also controlled the borders of the Zone and "cooled off hot heads" who decided to come to the Zone during the events of CS

What's the PRIMARY objective of Freedom?
gusty trench
@finite dragon To make a country free out of control. They're like anarchists, you know

What's the PRIMARY objective of Freedom?
@finite dragon
Zashchitit' Zonu ot gosudarstva. NE dat' yeyo unichtozhit'. Svoboda schitayet, chto Zona eto to, chto nam daroval etot mir, yeyo mozhno issledovat' i poluchat' otkrytiya, kotoryye pomogut nashemu miru. Izuchit' poleznyye svoystva artefaktov, ved' oni mogu pomoch' v lechenii tyazholykh bolezney
Protect the Zone from the state. DO NOT let it be destroyed. Freedom believes that the Zone is what this world gave us, it can be explored and discoveries that will help our world. To study the useful properties of artifacts, because they can help in the treatment of serious illnesses
gusty trench
Yeah. This one too
finite dragon
I see, so like if Freedom actually succeeded
People would come, inevitably disturb The Zone and possibly cause a 3rd disaster?
gusty trench
Well. Strelok has killed the C-Con already
finite dragon
Ah, true
bitter bane
The zone is a free world where there should be no state. Anarchy is the mother of order

If Freedom succeeded, the zone would probably lose a lot of traders and Loners would be a lot harder pressed to find gangs.
gusty trench
I don't really know if it made more bad things than good...
finite dragon
Freedom and Duty wack
gusty trench
Like. Strelok, if he survives, can tell everybody that the Wish Granter isn't real
azure stone
meh, Duty gives us 100 Rads, therefor Duty good.
finite dragon
gusty trench
So less people will visit the Sarco.
finite dragon
Like. Strelok, if he survives, can tell everybody that the Wish Granter isn't real
@gusty trench Who would believe some fart who claims that he has been to the center of The Zone?
gusty trench
Everybody knows him, Lmao.
finite dragon
🤫
bitter bane
There are two sides.
DEBT - the military who want to destroy the Zone.
Freedom - daredevils who want to protect the Zone and explore it
azure stone
Duty talks a lot of Crap about destroying the zone, but what they Actually do is Protect loners and traders.
finite dragon
Well, they don't protect stalkers well
azure stone
aswell as Gatekeeping the interior of the Zone from rookies
gusty trench
but what they Actually do is Protect loners and traders.
Some duty leader was hiring killers to murder some of the loners
finite dragon
Voronin iirc
azure stone
Sidorovich does that to, so thats totally morally good.
