raven raptor
#

sullen sierra
#

raven raptor
#

damn

#

cant help, srry

wicked current
sullen sierra
#

i mean its about a stash that is also in the base games from what im seeing so i felt like it were better to ask here

wicked current
#

fam, truck cemetary is modded content

sullen sierra
#

well then

#

i didnt know that

tired anvil
#

Have you never played the vanilla games?

sullen sierra
#

i only played 2

#

call of pripyat and clear sky

#

so i thought it apeared in shadow of chernobyl

tired anvil
#

Nah

sullen sierra
#

thats my bad

wicked current
#

oh dang, you should really play it

sullen sierra
#

when i have some spare money on steam i will

#

for now everything is going towards vr set

tired anvil
#

It will probs be on sale for a few bucks on Christmas

sullen sierra
#

anyway i posted picture of the stash im having troubles with in mod's chat

raven raptor
tired anvil
#

#

@raven raptor I assume you have regional prices?

raven raptor
#

yup

tired anvil
#

Yea, it's normally 10-12 bucks for the non regional prices

raven raptor
#

good reason to live in russia

tired anvil
#

Not if the Ruble looses value daily HAhaa

raven raptor
#

ehh

#

nvm

eager oyster
#

is it normal for Yantar guide to randomly spawn you during (better worded after) travel off the map?

gusty trench
#

Mod or vanilla?

eager oyster
#

vanilla

gusty trench
#

🤔

eager oyster
#

maybe old version or bug

gusty trench
#

Guide on Yantar?

eager oyster
#

aye from yantar to say agropom spawns me behind a fence at the very edge of the map

#

near the duty entry/exit point from Garbage

gusty trench
#

Do you have a screenshot?

#

I don't get it

eager oyster
#

not right now, this happened 2 days ago thought to ask about it

gusty trench
#

Maybe just a bug.

#

It could happen, you know what kind of game Stalker is

nimble salmon
#

The face you make when your gun jams in front of a shotgun loaded enemy

sullen sierra
#

2 crashes in a row

#

good old stalker

finite dragon
#

man, honestly, it's so hard to even imagine that Stalker 2 is gonna flop on the release

just when you even think about it a little bit, they have so much to work with with, thousands of mods with absolutely free content to take from (and a lot of that content already has feedback on what people like and what they don't like)

literally all they have to do to just make sure it doesn't flop is just combine a bunch of mods, bump up the graphics a tad bit, and boom, done
that will already ensure that it will be a decent game, and you just add on top of that to make it superb

grand pendant
#

heh, nah

tired anvil
#

Combining the mods that a lot love and a lot hate thinkDerp

finite dragon
#

I dunno, I guess they did switch engines, so that may cause some issues, but still, so much stuff to work with

#

they can just take the stuff people love, and remove the stuff people hate

#

it's ez

grand pendant
#

but that's the job of modders

tired anvil
#

Plenty love Anomaly, plenty hate Anomaly

#

How would you make that work

finite dragon
#

well, they don't hate it because it exists, they hate it for reasons that it changes the game

gusty trench
finite dragon
#

and there are certain things people hate more and certain things people love more than hate

#

you don't have to take the mod as it exist, you can frankenstein it, and that't the beauty of it

grand pendant
#

that's the thing, just leave that to modders

#

it's what they have been doing forever

finite dragon
#

it's just that someone already put a lot of thought in something and did all the stuff for it, so you just go in and yoink it

grand pendant
#

a game has to be new, not take from mods kek

wicked current
#

you made me realize something

finite dragon
#

you are not that insane to think they are specifically not gonna take any ideas from mods cuz "well someone already did this, duh, so we are not doing it"

grand pendant
#

they said they were working with modders

wicked current
#

after like 11 or so years without a proper stalker game, with plenty of fans playing modded versions, i wonder:
could that potentially ruin stalker 2 for a lot of fans? after so many of them have been subjected to mods?

grand pendant
#

but i haven't seen any mod implementing actually good features tbh

finite dragon
#

I really doubt it it can ruin the game for a lot of people, but I guess it depends on the people

grand pendant
#

nlc vest and pouches sytem is ok but idk how that would fit

tired anvil
#

I don't think it will, maybe to those expecting it to be CoC, other than that if it's a breathe of fresh air, and done professionally I doubt it'll be ruined

finite dragon
#

the base game is in a great state already

#

just needs a ton of new content, mechanics

#

etc

#

the core gameplay is already settled

grand pendant
#

what do you think it needs?

#

apart from the obvious

wicked current
#

but you know, because of the mods some people might have created "the perfect stalker" vision for themselves.

finite dragon
#

it needs a lot of little things

wicked current
#

which might dissapoint them.

grand pendant
#

mind giving an example?

finite dragon
#

in depth anomaly system
in depth NPC AI behavior
in depth repair system
in depth relationships system

#

but I guess relationships goes into AI

grand pendant
#

i said apart from the obvious

#

that will obviously be improved

tired anvil
finite dragon
#

I am not saying improved

#

overhauled even

grand pendant
#

but it already exists so it can only be improved

acoustic parcel
#

Anomaly is a great game and all, but it lacks substance. I'd be fine if the game's features were implemented in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Anomaly has an amazing hunting/cooking system, but I absolutely hate how repairing stuff yourself was added.

finite dragon
#

I personally enjoy the repairing stuff yourself

#

but it does make little sense sometimes

#

if you add more logic to it, I think it would be great

acoustic parcel
#

it's just too expensive and most of the time you don't have the things you need for repair

finite dragon
#

so, too hard?

acoustic parcel
#

nah

finite dragon
#

and it's also less expensive than using the mechanic (repair dood)

acoustic parcel
#

more like not worth it 90% of time.

#

What about finding the parts and buying the tools

finite dragon
#

oh, you mean the full repair, like with components

acoustic parcel
#

yup

finite dragon
#

dunno, I think that's actually incredibly interesting

acoustic parcel
#

the repair kits are fine.

finite dragon
#

cuz you don't have only money to look forward to

#

you can just have a little project lying in your stash somewhere

#

that you collect components to

#

and then you repair it for very cheap because you found all the components

#

you can also sometimes find the repair kit itself

acoustic parcel
#

I just sell my scrap material to Xenotech and use the earned money to repair my gear

finite dragon
#

so you can literally end up repairing it almost for free

acoustic parcel
#

but I can see the fun in that

#

personally, I believe you shouldn't let your gear fall below 80% durability.

finite dragon
#

also imagine the actually good working buddy system with good AI

#

which can carry your tools and all the other stuff

#

so you can repair anything, anywhere

grand pendant
#

see i got a problem with that idea

#

why would a guy just like you agree to carry your stuff around

finite dragon
#

but that's a huge late game stuff

acoustic parcel
#

what if he dies

finite dragon
#

well of course he is not just gonna agree

#

that's where you add relationships

acoustic parcel
#

not worth the effort keeping him alive

finite dragon
#

to the NPCs, and you gain trust

#

if they improve the AI, you will be able to give him better orders like: "How to act in certain scenarios"

grand pendant
#

doesn't matter how great of a friend he is, he isn't mule bro

acoustic parcel
#

this is the Zone we're talking about, not the Commonwealth

finite dragon
#

not just attack or don't attack

finite dragon
#

that's what I do in anomaly

#

even after I learned that NPCs can shoot 0% guns with no issues

#

it's just a routine for me at this point

#

but they should be able to repair them themselves

grand pendant
#

anomaly also has virtually no story or anything to make sense

finite dragon
#

when you have like a little campfire break

grand pendant
#

just gameplay oriented

#

arcade even

finite dragon
#

so, you can take that, and give it a story

grand pendant
#

ok

finite dragon
#

or parts of it

#

you have so much to work with

acoustic parcel
#

anomaly is basically a sandbox. you're just a regular stalker among other regular stalkers. Nothing differentiates you from the others. You go along making you own story, living you own life in the Zone.

finite dragon
#

imagine that, but with actually good AI that can do anything a player can

#

absolutely bonkers

acoustic parcel
#

I'd like good AI, but your idea is dumb and poorly executed

#

Unless you're Strelok, you won't have companions trailing behind you

finite dragon
#

but I don't think we can have the computers that can handle 100+ stalkers without tanking the CPU big time

finite dragon
#

I literally did say it's a late game thing

acoustic parcel
#

true

grand pendant
#

unless you have direct power over people, you won't have someone carrying your stuff behind you.

finite dragon
#

oh my god

acoustic parcel
#

this ^

finite dragon
#

you didn't get what I mean

grand pendant
#

it's the Zone bro, every man for himself

finite dragon
#

of course it's not gonna be like the current companion carrying your stuff

grand pendant
#

but that's what you said

acoustic parcel
#

then what will it be?

finite dragon
acoustic parcel
#

that's mainly them being sent out by faction leaders

grand pendant
#

survive together =/= serve each other

finite dragon
#

what

#

ah yes, I am not gonna carry extra food rations cuz heck you I am not serving you

grand pendant
#

also imagine the actually good working buddy system with good AI
which can carry your tools and all the other stuff

#

you didn't say just food

#

all the other stuff

leaden hamlet
#

(Me and Hip drunkenly singing along to an MP3 of "Dirge for the Planet" in a ruined factory during an Emission) 😊

finite dragon
#

I mentioned things that make sense, like tools that you repair your equipment with

#

not only yours

#

but your buddies too

tired anvil
#

Isn't that something most people going out on a big journey would have though

acoustic parcel
#

if you want to repair, bring your own tools.

#

how hard is that

finite dragon
#

but even if I tell them to be my mule that's okay too, I can just tell them to stay behind where I risk my damn ass fighting everyone in the frontline while they sit in the backline

#

they get the profit without risking their ass

#

by just carrying a lot of stuff

grand pendant
#

bc they have lives too

#

not just follow the protagonist around

finite dragon
#

okay this convo is pointless

tired anvil
#

I can only imagine someone who's never been in the Zone to be like a mule, but even then, people have brains lol

finite dragon
#

on this topic at least

grand pendant
#

good smile_scar

finite dragon
#

there is too much to explain

acoustic parcel
#

if you're new in the Zone, stay in Cordon and work for Sidorovich

finite dragon
#

I am just going by the books

grand pendant
#

that's what all stalkers do, they stay in Cordon and when they get enough experience move to Garbage

acoustic parcel
#

nah they go straight to Rostok. Garbage is a hellhole

grand pendant
#

it's not me who says it, random dialogues do

#

random dialogues are the equivalent to most stalkers thoughts

acoustic parcel
#

Cordon, Bar, Yanov Station, and Skadovsk are most popular destinations among stalkers

#

they're the most travelled locations across the 3 original games.

grand pendant
#

they're hubs, so yeah

#

point is, the majority tries their luck in Garbage

#

then move if they survive, others just move back to Cordon and get better

finite dragon
#

man, the zone is so much more bigger than these 3 locations

grand pendant
#

he said they were the most travelled locations, not the only ones

finite dragon
#

correct, but you are saying that everyone goes through the same path when they become a Stalker

#

which can't be true

tired anvil
#

He's saying most have been to those locations

#

Not that everyone went through them

grand pendant
#

everyone needs to go to Garbage to go anywhere else after CS

finite dragon
#

I honestly don't know much about the entrances to the Zone

#

if there are multiple

#

there have to be

#

so they are probably not located near the same place

grand pendant
#

there's no reference to others entrances though, and they probably exist but are just harder to cross

#

hence, the majority does what i said

finite dragon
#

a most likely scenario

tired anvil
#

If we were to look at it realistically, entering from the north would mean that you would need to get past the Belarusian government first

#

And afaik they're a lot more strict with security than Ukraine near there

finite dragon
#

what if they come from there

grand pendant
#

Shamans mostly come from the belarussian side, so that either means they cross from there or are mostly belarussian but still crossed a different border

finite dragon
#

there are people wanting to get in from around the entire world probably

grand pendant
#

not really

tired anvil
#

Where's this Shaman Belarusian thing from? peepoThink

grand pendant
#

there are around 300 stalkers

#

They say there’s this one gang... People call them Shamans or Druids. So it appears they don’t use any electronic equipment at all, say they want to stay close to the nature and stuff… Well, they reason the Zone reacts stronger to equipment… To all this electromagnetic emissions or something… They say it attracts monsters. Basically, they believe the Zone is like a living being, you know. Like, it’s no good going into it with all these gadgets. If you’re right in your mind you’ll get by fine without ‘em. Doesn't stop them from carrying assault rifles, though… Guess the old teeth and nails are not up to the task, eh? But then again, you don’t hear a lot of stories about one of them kicking the bucket. Well, at least no more than about us… So, who knows, maybe they are on the right track there… They seem to be coming more from the Belarussian side, though… I’d like to have a look at them one day and check out their pockets for some artifacts…```

#

Alsow , is the bad translasion true ?

#

Are there mods that fix that ?

tired anvil
#

Translations are perfectly fine

finite dragon
#

Hmm i saw reviews that say the translasion is bad

#

Like a lot of them

#

Like a lot

#

Or poorly translate

tired anvil
#

I've honestly never seen a review like that

#

You sure you got the right thing?

finite dragon
#

Mostly one youtubr people saying the english version translasion is not that good

tired anvil
finite dragon
#

I saw gameplay and i did not really see a poblme but some say it is

tired anvil
#

I can't agree, the translations are pretty normal

finite dragon

Yeah i think is good , maybe just them beeing mad that they don't get some stuff and say is bad translasion

"If S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 doesn't have bugs like the original 3, then I'm refunding. Those bugs are some of the most memorable moments in the game" what is the deal with stalker fan autism/eurojank fetishization? I realize bugs can be funny, but can we stop pretending that they added anything to the original games other than frustration or the occasional funny moment?

meager plover

I mean

coming from a community such as ours

#

which isn't as toxic like say, Undertale

#

I think if GSC makes a game

#

and makes it as enjoyable and atmospheric as the first 3 games

#

then

#

GSC will be the richest game company in Ukraine

tired anvil
#

What game companies are currently richer?

meager plover
#

The company that made Metro

#

4A games I think they're called

tired anvil
#

Oh right

#

Yea I guess, I can't think of many other examples

meager plover
#

Also Warface was made by Ukranians

#

Also not that good peepoShrug

meager plover

Still

#

It makes a crap load of

#

Monie

finite dragon
#

honestly, it really can't be bad, considering all they need to do is just make the same game, cuz they are now working on unreal 4, so it's gonna look good and be more optimized regardless

finite dragon
#

that's the worst case scenario, yes

#

I am just saying that for the worst case scenario it's actually not that bad

Also Warface was made by Ukranians

tommorow MAYBE screenshots and memes This_is_fine

meager plover
#

I might have realized something

#

What if...

#

Strelok in CoP isn't Strelok.

#

What if Strelok joined C - Consciousness, brainwashed a random stalker, implanted memories and programmed him as a spy.

#

Also performing plastic surgery on him and various fake information...

hushed aurora
#

Or maybe just the same Strelok but as an agent of the C-Con :feels_honk:

#

But seriously no idea

#

And plastic surgery doesn't sound like smth that could be done in the Zone

meager plover
#

Doc did it

#

Why wouldn't C-Con

tired anvil
#

You could probably get a plastic surgery from a Bloodsucker, that's about it

#

I don't recall Doc getting one, but my SoC memory is fuzzy

hushed aurora
#

Hmmm

meager plover
#

Doc performed PS on Strelok after the first arrival at CNPP

#

#

wat

#

Really?

meager plover
#

Yeah

#

You didn't notice the facial difference?

#

In the cutscenes

hushed aurora
#

I didn't

meager plover
#

The guy that reaches for the monolith

#

Is the old Strelok

tired anvil
meager plover
#

Is there a problem @tired anvil ?

tired anvil
#

Not at all. Intetesting theories, that's all

meager plover
#

I would hate it if Strelok betrayed humanity

#

And my theory is actually true

#

Not to call myself a genius

tired anvil
#

I guess you'll be able to judge if we see him in S2 smile_strelok

meager plover
#

Btw

#

I think

#

That multiple endings should be a feature or Will be

#

So it's possible that my theory could be an ending

#

Or at least a version of the story

#

On another note

#

Duty (more like Doody) is the worst faction

hushed aurora
#

I think pretty much almost everyone can agree

#

including me zak

meager plover
#

Best faction

hushed aurora
#

"""aRe ThE bAnDiTs EvEn A fAcTiOn ThO"""

#

Better than duty still

meager plover
#

I have a big point why the bandits are a faction

#

They help eachother

hushed aurora
#

Yeah that's fair enough

#

@pseudo rivet The military has order to shoot on sight to all stalkers right?

#

Including Duty?

meager plover
#

No

#

Duty is a faction which is supported by the military

#

Or at least neutral

#

Freedom is chill with everyone

hushed aurora
#

I am aware they have connections with each other

meager plover
#

Except Duty and Monolith

hushed aurora
#

But i still think the military still ain't friendly with them atleast "Publicly" if you know what i mean

meager plover
#

Well yeah

#

Duty is the most powerful faction

hushed aurora
#

How come

#

With the Monolith having the Gauss

meager plover
#

It controls Rostok.

hushed aurora
#

Yeah but you can obliterate Rostok

meager plover
#

Rostok is a magnet for stalkers

#

Stalkers are unlimited

hushed aurora
#

One of the most satiestying things to do i totally recommend

#

Canonically iirc there's only about

#

300 ppl

#

in the zone

#

I wouldn't say unlimited

meager plover
#

300?

#

No...

#

I've killed 3000 in my playthrough

hushed aurora
#

That's ingame

meager plover
#

There is at least 10000

hushed aurora
#

Ingame ain't the same as lore sometimes

#

Duty: Famous hunters of mutants in lore

#

Ingame: Can't kill a dog

meager plover
#

Well yeah

#

But realistically even

#

300 is my Town's size

hushed aurora
#

What Crimson be doing rn, i haven't seen him in here for a while

#

Yeah but it's not about the size

meager plover

hello guys, can anyone help me out porting some stalker assets into sfm?

meager plover

@flat scroll I do believe there are some assets in the SFMlab

I've found some from gmods.org and somewhere else
but I dunno how to import them.

#

I am with the Pink and black checkboard issue, only few works fine
I've read the troubleshooting article from steam community but it's kinda different

#

anyways, I'll look into SFMlab. thanks mate

meager plover
#

@flat scroll Download the models, zip em and put em in the custom folder

#

it's how all valve mods are installed

flat scroll
#

I guess those files came from the garrysmod addons, right?

#

||maybe those were not working cuz I directly put them into sfm/usermods folder||

meager plover
#

doesn't matter really

#

if my suggestion doesn't work

#

there are loads of vids on how to install sfm mods/import models

#

yeah guess I gotta watch 'em once again after tonight
I am sure I did miss something important lol.

#

so looks like all of these assets have been already extracted

#

I just need to put them into usermods folder.. but I am facing some issues

#

hopefully those files from sfmlabs will work

if they don't

#

it's the modders fault

sand fiber
woven fern
#

well i mean if you want to understand more punctiation

#

i can teach you that

shy island
#

Okey

woven fern
#

so after you put a question mark at the end of a sentance, if you want another sentance, put a space after it like "what day is it? nevermind just forgot"

#

thats a horrible example of a everyday conversation

#

but that is the punctuation

#

same with the period

#

you put a space after it

#

also same with a comma

#

you just basically put 1 space after every punctuation

#

thats how it goes

shy island
#

In Russian, the order of the sentence is completely different.do you have a question that comes first?Ahahha...no offense

sand fiber
woven fern
#

but usually the main importance of your sentance should go first

so attention is there

#

@celest siren in 2018, the STALKER 2 website wrote “2.0.2.1”. Plenty of people thought that this was the release year, but this was never confirmed to be the case. It in fact was part of a cipher/ARG that ended earlier this year

Ey, fellow STALKERS, so lets just say that I wanted to get someone into STALKER, but is afraid that they'll only play for an hour or two and never touch it again because of how dated some of things are in these games (mainly in SHOC). l know we always say "you must play through each STALKER game as vanilla as possible for a first playthrough". But, we all know starting with SHOC definitely turns people away with it's crappy gunplay, bugs, and whatnot. Not even using ZRP mod can fix everything up. But is there any mod out there or mod pack that can at least iron out or bring quality of life changes or some features from CoP that get introduced into a SHOC mod?

#

I want someone to experience OG STALKER SHOC, but with game mechanics from future titles is what I'm basically saying.

gusty trench
#

Well, uh. Sadly, no, because all these 3 games use different versions of the X-Ray engine.

#

And not a lot of developers want to try adapting things properly from CoP to ShoC.

frail spire
#

If your friend is a casual who probably won't even play vanilla new vegas don't bother
