Game can not find sound of weapon called "mag 44", or it means mags filling sound

[tall belfry]

what's a good collection of mods for call of pripyat

[compact wolf]

For a modded CoP playthrough or do you want a new experience?

[faint creek]

Hey I have been run into the ground trying to figure out what is wrong so I joined the discord in hopes that someone could help.... On some guns it can be a little worse than others. In this picture you can see that the tip of the shotgun along with other areas, is reflecting the object in front of it. I have messed around with settings for a long time and I honestly dont know wtf is going on.

[neon socket]

how do I fix the infinite rain bug in dead air? I tried just applying weather settings again and that worked, but it's stopped

[neon socket]

are there a mod where there is NATO or Russian Forces faction that aint great war mod

[uncut remnant]

I can recommend Spatial Anomaly and Valley of Whispers if you want total conversion with new stories (there is also Wind of Time but it's somewhat crashy imo)

[eager flicker]

are there any hand models for the anomaly hd character pack

for the love of me, i can't find one

i've tried the t.h.a.p_rev_anomaly one w/ the hd character 'patch' but nothing is different than the default one

[little rock]

Does anyone know in CoP how to change the zoom sensitivity when using a scope on the weapon? What parameter to modify to slow it down.

When I use a scope and it zooms, it moves too fast for me, I find it hard to aim at the head of enemies that are far away, modifying the speed of the camera when moving the mouse is not a solution, I have to lower it a lot and it is no longer comfortable for me.

The parameter "control_inertion_factor" does this, if I modify it I make it slower when using the sight of the weapon, the problem is that this also affects the weapon without using the sight, and makes the camera also move very slow when holding the weapon.

There must be a parameter that only affects when using the sight, does anyone know anything?

I am using the Gunslinger mod, I have asked this same question there, as you can see in the image, but nobody has answered me hehe

[opaque breach]

anyone know how to mod textures?! i have a huge project and i need people

[dense ermine]

Hi everyone
How fix icons in anomaly 1.5.1

[arctic moat]

greetings fellow stalkers, what's good mod "gunslinger like" for shadow of chernobyl, that wasn't anomaly

[austere bison]

Increase texture detail

This is because of borked icons file that have mipmaps. Icons should never have mipmaps

[dense ermine]

I solved this problem by install the potato version of the hud and ui

From Anomaly discord channel

my pc is weak

Hi all, I'm trying to turn on dynamic zoom for the Elcan SpecterDR scope in Boomsticks and Sharpsticks. On the mod page it states there is a bug with dynamic zoom but I wanna try anyway. I've gone into weapon_addons.ltx and added the line scope_dynamic_zoom = on but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?

I've also found a weapon_scopes.ltx file but I'm not really sure whats going on in there

Oh and this is for Anomaly, my b lol

[exotic marsh]

I might be able to help. Are you using any sort of mod manager?

[long prairie]

man i really want some mods roman gladius swords and a cool set of centurion armor

i wanna whack the sh*t out of bandits

[faint creek]

Hey everyone. I just did a fresh install of stalker anomaly and then added the expedition mod pack which is nice. Can I manually add mods to it?

[exotic marsh]

I believe you can add mods but because the mod pack is fairly large you might run into more issues. Just be sure to make a backup then go one by one

[faint creek]

should I send my folder with all of the contents of the game, game data, app data, etc to a compressed zip folder?

[undone oyster]

Any good modpacks for 1.5.2 with animation, graphic, model reworks?

[exotic marsh]

You could put the copy in a zip file if you want to, but I probably wouldn't bother unless I absolutely needed the room on my hard drive

[opaque breach]

[undone oyster]

Send link pls

[torn mortar]

Anyone know if there's a compatible stash filler mod for ZRP (SoC)?

[lean seal]

Hello. so olivius gave me a mission which said "smuggle TOZ-34 3x past the military" so i got 3 toz-34 in the same good condition yet the mission is not updating, anyone knows what i did wrong ?

[austere bison]

Most modpacks work with 1.5.1 atm but with 1.5.2 engine

1.5.2 scripts are mostly about few fixes.

The most important thing is the engine modifications for mod support

So most modpacks are actually compatible with 1.5.2 add-ons

EFP is with the new exes.
GAMMA is directly since it has modified exes with 1.5.2 engine included

But neither of them work with the 1.5.2 scripts and configs

[undone oyster]

Well shiet

[glossy turret]

good thing i never updated

all tho i do wish i got some good npc mods
dont get me wrong the npcs are great and all but they could be idk smarter
i just want more firefights thats really all tbh

[winged badger]

So Im on dark signal 2.2 an wanna know is there a storage at any monolith bases?

[uncut remnant]

Next to the basement room with 3 people you should find a bluebox

[keen pelican]

Does anybody know how I can reduce the ringing noise from the controller/teleport in the vanilla trilogy? I want to show these games to someonme but they has hearin issues and while playin the endin of CS their ears hurt a lot because of the teleport noises.

[compact wolf]

Is there a good ending for anomaly?

[weak forge]

Hello my friends

I'm looking for the best mods for stalker call of pripyat

visual and graphics mod, but also maybe combat ones like the gunsliger mod for example

[topaz moon]

I only know visual mods, but i dont know any combat improved mods

[undone oyster]

any good visual/combat mods for Shadow of Chernobyl?

[thick drift]

Radiophobia 3 uses OGSR 64 bit engine which is pretty damn good and with the HD textures it looks really nice. But bear in mind it is heavy and takes a lot of resources. So a strong PC is needed for playing in playable FPS. It enhances many other things and adds whole lots of features and changes stuff. It's more hardcore tho with amped up difficulty and focus on survival.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/radiophobia

[undone oyster]

Okay tysm

[weak forge]

got the gunslinger mod for CoP

but all the items names and descriptions all jus appear as code

[thick drift]

Anytime 😄

[tribal garden]

Radiophobia 3
STALKER Complete 2009
ZRP

are these mods compatible with each-other? (SoC)

[uncut remnant]

You can only use 1

[weak forge]

what's that?

[tribal garden]

ah right

[tribal garden]

which one should i choose?

[uncut remnant]

Either ZRP if its your 1st playthrough, radiophobia 3 if you want new experience

[tribal garden]

Thank you!

[thick drift]

Yeah I also do not recommend STALKER Complete 2009 it have a lot of issues also AI is shitty.

[snow wing]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalkershadowofchernobyl/mods/1060

[rustic flare]

Yeah, because it's beta and doesn't have localization files.
Sorry for the ping and late reply, there should be updater in your installation of the mod and if you open it you can download "Add-ons" one should be unofficial localization files and there is also unofficial food animations add-on.

If I get back from work I can check it for you.

[pliant lynx]

Ayo how do ppl rate lost alpha mod in terms of cut content? Like they added some parts that were cut from development (like darkscape) but then also added their own levels from inspiration.

[ionic dune]

That’s shit and absolutely not a faithful adaptation or anything.

See OLR for a kinda faithful adaptation.

[pliant lynx]

Ok thanks

[neat gorge]

oml any sleep mods for stalker cs?

[neon socket]

"50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town."

[neat gorge]

"50,000 polygons were on this sniper rifle. Now it's like from QUAKE 1."

like frr this is CoP mod like how are you meant to have such low-quality models😩

[neon socket]

Because the Stalker games are temperamental when it comes to memory.

[neat gorge]

dk watchu talkin about

[dark crypt]

Yeah gunslinger mod. And also absolute nature

That’s all u need

[neon socket]

You'd know if you've modded the Stalker games.

[ionic dune]

Sounds like bad optimization on modders’s side.

Call of Chernobyl or Anomaly is a good mod to start. You can mess around with those 2 to your liking

Is there any viruses or somthing that windows defender will block?

[high token]

Not with the mainstream mods so far ik. I've not gotten any issues with it yet the past 10 years

[neon socket]

So i downloaded gunslinger mod and after activating windows defender said its Trojan:Win32/Tnega!MSR. Its viruse or somthing wrong with windows defender?

[high token]

uh

Don't trust it obv (the download. throw it out)

what download link do you use

[neon socket]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/gunslinger-mod/page/6#comments

mh, I'll check when I'm home if you dm

[ionic dune]

The way Gunslinger works is it injects itself into the original game binaries because development started before engine edits became available.

[tepid stratus]

anyone with stalker anomaly 1.5.1 can give me performance tips?

i cannot get above 60 fps no matter the settings and usually am around 40-55

got a ryzen 5 1600, rx 580, 16gb ram, running dx11 with avx

tried the vulkan fix from github and it just made me crash less with more input lag

[tepid stratus]

always check files you download on virustotal before running them

i would delete it

could be fp but idk.

[neon socket]

I'm trying to download Dead Air from Mod DB but it won't work

Can anyone help me?

[rustic flare]

Fix your internet, make sure you have enough space for the download to finish.
I really don't know what "won't work" means.

[abstract grove]

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with something. When I played vanilla Call of Pripyat, the map would show large white circles (e.g. anomaly fields) and green symbols for stashes. In Anomaly, these do not appear, no matter what I do. Toggling stashes and areas in the PDA has no effect. The PDA is displaying Secondary Tasks correctly, and I can toggle them off and on no problem. I can also see player-created stashes. There's no errors being reported or anything like that, so I'm sure there's some setting I need to change that I'm not familiar with.

[opaque breach]

hey i need developers to working on my project

[cold blaze]

Why not 1.5.2? Heard they improved performance

[royal forum]

i need help with my expedition mod, it just comes in one folder and when i extract it to the game folder it doesnt work

sorted that, but does anyone know how to removed the stupid red screen filter when hurt, it disappears when i scope in so its pointless and gives a headache

[gaunt palm]

Hi

Are there any content creator on youtube?

I recieve the email yesterday from this adress

it says I can pu the promo video in my content

but the file extension is scr

is it fake?

[ebon tusk]

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt

I really don't think it is us that should be telling you this

[gaunt palm]

thank you

STALKER 2 looks awsome

[tepid stratus]

do i have to restart the entire game?

or can i just migrate my saves?

[ruby citrus]

You should be able to, just make a backup in case anything happens

[slow bear]

does anyone know how to deal with the sky being like this in Anomaly?

[hearty wadi]

ya got addons?

[slow bear]

yes

[hearty wadi]

which ones

[slow bear]

158 of them so I cant name off the top of my head

[hearty wadi]

epico

any FX or like overhaul stuff then?

[slow bear]

theres a couple enhanced shaders and graphics mods

Enhanced Shaders PBR, Anomaly Expedition 1.2 Graphics version,

[hearty wadi]

have you tried uhhh

sky bloom fix

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-sky-bloom-fix

[slow bear]

ill try

thank you

[hearty wadi]

if it dont work try disabling the shader

[uncut remnant]

Try disabling enhanced shaders, since ur using expedition graphics

[hearty wadi]

yeah they prolly stacking up the bloom or some stuff idk

[tawny fiber]

domt think so

[late pecan]

Hello, i don't know if should ask this here, but I downloaded stalker anomaly but i don't have any animations, i have animations active but when i use a bandage it doesn't do anything, i have to wait do but for an invisible "animation"

The character seems to look around but no hand or bandage is shown while doing that

sorry if bad eng

I also downloaded a food drug and drink mod, installed it but nothing happens even with after that

[uncut remnant]

Better ask in anomaly discord

Also read the description for fdda

It requires the anomaly modded exes on github

Use mod organizer 2 for easier mod installation/solving conflicts

[green ginkgo]

anyone know how to fix lag when looking through certain scopes?

[neon socket]

food drinks and drugs animation mod for anomaly doesnt immediately apply

youll have to turn on the animation in the game settings

[late pecan]

I had animations turned on but i found out that starting the game from the mod manager applies the mod to the game

[uncut remnant]

Assuming they are picture in picture scopes, well get a better PC (since AFAIK they render the game twice, cutting your fps in half)

[neon socket]

Anyone have some advice on changing my FOV with a mod? I have ZRP and a subtitle mod only, first time playing stalker 🙂

[ebon tusk]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/stalker-soc-field-of-view
My personal suggestion is that you play the game vanilla

[neon socket]

I was, small FOV and no subtitles were frustrating however. I read that ZRP is vanilla also just bug fixes? And thank you so much

[ebon tusk]

I meant ZRP,it changes little stuff but substantial enuff to no longer be vanilla

[neon socket]

Oh wow I must've misunderstood then thank you for the heads-up, I'll just play with FOV adjustment and subtitles for now.

[opaque breach]

i need people interested to working on on with me project,pm to share the details.

[polar dew]

Does anyone know how to get Memories of the zone to run?

[spark fractal]

Hello! Just completed vanilla S.o.c, want to try again with some mods, whats your opinion on radiophobia 3 ?

anomaly it looks like contains parts of the other games so I dont want to try it yet before i play the other games

[north halo]

just a harder vesrion SoC also u get more freedom with faction relations such as teaming with the bandits

also alot of cut content added back

and if im honest dont download radiophobias Patch 1.1 + Hotfix 2 it fixes minor problems but reverts the inventory UI back to CoP so no more pistol holster and 2 primarys

[harsh hazel]

why is the arsenal overhaul mod takes up nearly the same space as anomaly itself?

should I download arsenal overhaul?

[ebon tusk]

No lol

[mighty otter]

mods that only add more weapons are very unlikely to add anything new to the game... just basically same weapons that look different and few OP weapons mixed in.

[crystal parrot]

how to make clear sky fun

[near lion]

install arsenal overhaul

[ebon tusk]

Play the game instead of watching a YouTube gameplay

[sweet smelt]

What tool is needed to open .DDS files?

[ruby star]

i use GIMP

[mighty otter]

oh shit... where do you get vepr-12 in Anomaly? Just noticed that it too is a shotgun that reloads all of the shots, like saiga-12's clip. But a drum instead. It looks like the perfect weapon to commit mutant geno... a happy route through the climbing stairway.

[languid fog]

There's something wrong with my Anomaly

I have to start a new game every time I launch it,and the desktop shortcut doesn't seem to be working.

[sweet ocean]

Whats the best SHOC mod for 2nd time play?

idk which one to pick

Maybe one that adds more content and graphics mods

[mighty otter]

There are many options. If you only want to experience the same game in a different way, that is an option. Or if you want to change the game a lot for free play, there are stand alone mods

some mods even come with new storylines

[sweet ocean]

Same game in a different way i guess?

Im more of a questing kinda guy in rpgs

So like more stuff to do? More guns and armor that kind of stuff

[mighty otter]

At least the top one on the list here sounds like one option:

https://progameguides.com/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl/best-mods-for-stalker-shadow-of-chernobyl/

but... it makes the game harder. Not sure if it allows to turn some of the challenging features off

[sweet ocean]

Yea the thirst and hunger is a bit ehh

[mighty otter]

stalkersoup is on the list too, it also says there are a new quests

[sweet ocean]

Says here its unstable tho so hmm

Do any of u guys have like personal recommendations?

[mighty otter]

I mostly play standalone mods, or mods for Call of Pripyat

for most part, standalone mods take place in areas of SoC, there are CoP locations too but clearly they were not the focus

and in general that makes the game much harder... would not be good to recommend them to newish players

I think I played shadow of Chernobyl with mod called starter pack

it mostly just updates graphics and adds few features you do not have to use

[sweet ocean]

Okay so im looking at 2 rn

One called RMA

and the other is Old Good Stalker Evolution

[mighty otter]

I've seen people recommend stalker evolution

[sweet ocean]

Does it update the graphics?

[mighty otter]

From what I've herd it improves graphics and is a stable mod

[languid fog]

AHEM.

[sweet ocean]

maybe ask someone specific

[languid fog]

@high token could you help with this issue

[high token]

uh

[high token]

Hard saves won't stay?

What I usually do is when I want shortcuts to my game I put them up as non-steam game

[sweet ocean]

I uhh downloaded OGSR but somehow all voices and some text are in Russian

[uncut remnant]

You downloaded it from moddb?

[ebon tusk]

How new was the repack you downloaded

[languid fog]

No

[languid fog]

I can't add it for some reason

[sweet ocean]

yea

also this might be a bit... much

Sidorovich gave a very different mission or my memory is shit since i last played but he told me to find the very basic Stone Blood artifact

With no gun and no detector

and no quest marker

I aint even got a knife!

[sweet ocean]

Okay so i pawned off some weapons after like saving that one wounded Stalker in the beginning and for some reason i dont understand the logic cus all of the guns were empty and none of them brought ammo

idk why but that kinda pulled me out of it

[ruby star]

You don't need detector for artifacts in OGSR

The Stone Blood is inside one of the bushes in the middle of the anomaly field

Check both since there is also a Jellyfish

And since you rescued Tolik (the wounded guy), you can accept the rescuing Nimble task from Sid then go meet Wolf

He will give you weapons

Also make sure to ask him about Tolik for extra reward

[sweet ocean]

Which

Theres like multiple anomaly fields within the Cordon alone

Itd be great if it atleast give me ya know a specific anomaly

Its gotta be before the overhanging bridge cus if memory serves right thats filled with bandits

and i aint got a gun but just a knife

[ruby star]

The one with a bunch of pipes and shit

And a fallen tree in the middle

[zealous bane]

Thoughts on modding shadow of chernobyl.

[sweet ocean]

Uhh weird request.

Can ya circle it?

[ebon tusk]

There should be a white circle on the map in your PDA telling you

[sweet ocean]

Ok ok i found it finally pls all i want is a pmm XD

wow not even a PMM sidorovich u ass

O ok now thanks to the early mission with nimble finally im not completely useless

[limber jolt]

ey guys im about to end clear sky and it keeps crashin

any mod suggestions?

[high token]

Are you playing pure vanilla now? @limber jolt

SRP could do

[limber jolt]

nah i downloaded atmosfear

[sweet ocean]

I only crashed once in CS Atmosfear

[sweet ocean]

Ive hit a wall again @ruby star

Deal with Milatry

*Military

Needs a box of weaps and bag of artifacts, Fill the vehicle that doesnt seem want to start

[ruby star]

get the fuel can from the grain elevator

the bag of artifacts will be in your inventory after talking to Wolf

[sweet ocean]

grain elevator?

[ruby star]

the place to the left of the military checkpoint under the broken bridge

[sweet ocean]

Ah

But what about the weapons?

And the trunk wont open for the car

Ive been pressing tab behind the car

but all it shows are objectives and shortcuts

[ebon tusk]

Go to keybinds and fins out the button to fill your cars tank with fuel

[dense spruce]

Hello there

This channel is for talking about mods, right ?

[ruby star]

Yes

[dense spruce]

I think I'll start a new game on shadow of chernobyl. Do you have some nice and intresting mod you'r advice to play with ?

[ruby star]

Starter pack, OGSR/OGSR GA

[dense spruce]

what's the difference between OGSR and OGSR GA ?

Do you also know a good mod for graphic quality/beauty please ?

[ruby star]

OGSR GA has gunslinger integrated

[dense spruce]

Game is installed via steam. I already placed Starter pack main file in "mod" file in the game folder. It is correct ?

I'm also installing OGSR (download in progress)

[dense spruce]

Do I just have to place the mod's main file in "mod" folder (in game files) ?

[ruby star]

Ogsr is standalone

No need the base game

[dense spruce]

Can I use those 2 mods at same time ?

[ruby star]

Which?

[dense spruce]

Starter pack and OGSR

[ruby star]

No

[ebon tusk]

Of course not

[ruby star]

Starter pack is for SoC

[ebon tusk]

where did you get the idea,by what I know OGSR has tweaked the engine tho I can't be sure it's usei g OpenXray64 or not

[dense spruce]

I thought those 2 mod where twice for SoC

[ebon tusk]

Grendel might want correct me on that

[ruby star]

AFAIK, it use an edited version of openxray64

[ebon tusk]

😎

[dense spruce]

Do you know nice/intreseting mods I could use for SoC combined with startre pack ?
Maybe mod that adds contents (quests, items, gamplay like equipments mod/repair) or increase graphic quality ?

[sweet ocean]

Ive only managed to open the trunk and uhh what now

[hardy sequoia]

you need fuel, theres fuel in the building close to the bridge

thats the only can you can get so don't drop it nor sell it

get behind the car and check options for the "refuel car" key

[sweet ocean]

U mean the sawmill?

or is it just a mill

[sweet ocean]

Ok so i got it running

but i still need the box of weapons

if youd have some quest markers thatd be great

[ebon tusk]

The NPCs tell you where to find stuff,sometimes it's vague,not really this one tho,go over the dialogue logs to see what sidor told you

Also if you haven't talk with wolf

[dense spruce]

Can someone tells me how I can know if 2 mods are compatible to work together, please ?

[ebon tusk]

They say so on the mod page

If not assume they aren't and save yourself the headaches

[dense spruce]

The only way I found to install mod is to place gamdata file of the mod in game main folder.

[ebon tusk]

Yes,what about it

[dense spruce]

I just want to know if it's the only way

[ebon tusk]

To install mods copy the contents directly to the game folder unlesss you're told to do otherwise

[dense spruce]

all the content, not only gamedata ?

[dense spruce]

For exemple, I downloaded starter pack, I got a file named SPv2019_final. this file has many files inside (app_data, bin, diffs, gamedata, ...)
Do I place this file, SPv2019_file inside game folder ?

[ebon tusk]

Open the rear file and extract all the files inside to the game installation

[dense spruce]

what do you mean by rear file ?

[ebon tusk]

Autocorrect meant to say rar

[dense spruce]

There is only 1 file inside the rar, it's SVp2019_final

This file containt all other files

[ebon tusk]

Then copy the contents of the SVP2019 into the games folder

[dense spruce]

Ok, thank's for your help

[ebon tusk]

Have you ever modded a stalker game?

[dense spruce]

Not that I recall

[ebon tusk]

Well it's kinda like that for every stalker game
Copy the contents of the mod itself into the games folder and overwrite any files
Read the mods description if it requires a special way of installing it

[dense spruce]

If I try to install a second mod, this mod also have sames files than the first I installed (like gamedata or app_data)

Does it mean they can't be used at same time ?

I'll try to play with starter pack, if you know other nice/instresting mods (maybe adding some contents like news item, quests, gameplay like equipment mods or repair) I'm intrested ^^

[ebon tusk]

If you want to install a different mod that's not compatible you're gonna have to do a clean install of your game and install that mod

[dense spruce]

I think I'll try a fews mods and choose 1 to play with

So I'll use only 1 mod

[sweet ocean]

I cant find the msg logs

Theres nothing in the trunk

Some engine and battery

Wait wtf

[ebon tusk]

Ma man

Impossible

[sweet ocean]

Why is the engine on the back

[ebon tusk]

OMFG

Have you never seen a Lada?

You kidding?

[sweet ocean]

No theres no ladas where i live

[ebon tusk]

Forget it

Jus deliver the damn weapons

[sweet ocean]

i dont have em

thats the thing

[ebon tusk]

they're in the goddamn trunk,if you have,talked with sidor,and talked with wolf

[sweet ocean]

this trunk is damn empty

[ebon tusk]

I will download the mod and show it to you

[sweet ocean]

Ive exhausted all of the dialogue that pertains to the mod

Also i didnt put the latest update

the 2019 one

cus for some reason its mega buggy

[ebon tusk]

youre using this one right
https://www.moddb.com/mods/ogsr-mod-repack-from-serega-lus-with-english-patch/downloads/repack-by-sl-stalker-ogsr-mod-ck-english-patch

[sweet ocean]

no this one https://www.moddb.com/mods/old-good-stalker-evolution

[ebon tusk]

thats OGSE not OGSR

[sweet ocean]

what the diff

I dont mind a clean reinstall too

[ebon tusk]

OGSR runs on a diff engine thats a tweaked OpenXray64 thus its standalone and fixes a bunch of issues and bugs with some QoL changes in the mix with some other changes

theyre numerous

[sweet ocean]

oki lemme try it

[ebon tusk]

use the repack I sent ya

[sweet ocean]

Ye sorry i dont mod much in STALKER

Im pretty basic in modding like Bethesda games

[ebon tusk]

nha no worriesits normal to confuse OGSE with OGSR since OGSR is a remastered version of OGSE,I also got confused the first time I played it

OGSE stands for old good stalker evolution
OGSR stands for old good stalker remastered

[sweet ocean]

Ah

[ebon tusk]

its pretty confusing

[sweet ocean]

Also i like how OGS preserves the game like it doesnt touch the og game

[ebon tusk]

it does tho

[remote pike]

Does anyone have any good mod recommendations (excluding coc and anomaly), something that gives SoC atmosphere (and if possible, similar look to CS) and isn't as grindy as CoP and CoC

[ruby star]

OGSR/OLR/LA are those that come to mind atm

[sweet ocean]

Driiving in Stalker feels so goofy

[sweet ocean]

lil help.. where the hell is the guitar its no longer there where it was last time

[sweet ocean]

Also forgive me for stupid but it told me to meet with a journey man whos dead and now tells me to traverse railroad embankment

Note: Back then i just slaughtered the military

Yes

I died alot

But nothing can beat Save/Load

[ebon tusk]

a pity,if only you let them live you couldve teamed up with them

[sweet ocean]

I was new!

Literally my first stalker experience

I had no idea what i was doing. All i knew is that i had to get to Garbage lol

[ebon tusk]

I meant in OGSR

[sweet ocean]

Oh no

The time i killed the military was my first time ever

In Stalker

Had no choice. Just tried to pick em off one by one

And in the end this newbie stalker bested an entire military squad

Through sheer will and preservation

And then after a trip to like uhh.. whatever the big base is called after the Garbage
Cant remember with Duty and stuff with the arena. I went back and slaughtered the military outpost fun times

And yes i did die alot too but i was more efficient since i got a rifle with a scope

So uhhh alot of bodies in my wake

[sweet ocean]

Ok so i crossed the railroad embankment but the military is now mad

@ruby star

[sand rock]

what guns do you have

[sweet ocean]

Uh the shotgun from one of the ded peepz in the helicopter attack some TT pistol, The mini AK and the normal AK i picked off a military dude who died during a mutant attack at the railroad

[sweet ocean]

the shotgun is like the mossberg lookin one

[sand rock]

bruh you should be more than fine taking them out

[sweet ocean]

They angry for some reason

But i dont want them angry tho

Why use bullet if u dont have to

I could take them out

If i wanted to even the outpost past the rookie village

but i dont wanna cus theyre a pain in the ass

If i dont get any like way to pacify them then here comes my shotgun

[sweet ocean]

So uhh anyone got any ideas?

uhh

did they nerf the military

Bruh that wasnt even 3 clips of ammo

[sweet ocean]

is the chopper killable?

[warm pulsar]

howdy everyone. im loooking for a quick hand. seems out of no wherte the voyager lonerr armor is causing the game to CTD when trying to equip

[ebon tusk]

the waht?which mod are you playing

will never know

[steep sphinx]

So I got a mod for Anomaly that changes artifacts.. And one of the changes is allowing electro afrtifacts to be used as battery chargers.
I was wondering - anyone ever tried modding it so you can use fire artifacts as (potentially infinite) fuel for stoves?

[sweet ocean]

In OGSR why is almost every enemy ive encountered so.. soft?

A bandit literally died from 3 bullets

Im used to being soft since thsts like the average Stalker experience

[zenith epoch]

DigiBeawr#3698 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sweet ocean]

I dont recall military and bands bein soft

[neon socket]

Hey can someone help me? Ive been trying to unpack expedition for anomaly but it wont open the file in 7zip it says unable to open file as archive

[sweet ocean]

Need help with OGSR

[inner spindle]

https://youtu.be/PJ5CBwkAMAY

Mmmmmmmm

[sweet ocean]

What did they to the controllers in OGSR they became as bad as the Burers perhaps even worse. Bruh the controllers can only be killed with grenades cus shooting at it is a bad idea

[harsh hazel]

yes

using rifle shots or the rpg

[sweet ocean]

Also uhh why tf is everyone softer

[sour mulch]

classic anomaly

I smoked a cigarette

game crashed

smoking kills kids

[neon socket]

that's a great idea for sure

[vagrant lichen]

does anyone know how to get the main quest started in COC with DoctorX's questline mod?

[serene fog]

How do I use mods for SOC ?

[ebon tusk]

have you ever played SoC?
go to the game's main folder and open fsgame.ltx
catch the phrase that has gamedata and change the false in it to true

[serene fog]

Never did, but I'll use the community fix mod -

[ebon tusk]

if its your first time playing stalker I'd recommend going in vanilla,only then going into the mods

[serene fog]

Fair enough

[steep wing]

Hey guys, how do i solve this conflict? There's already a Soundscape patch inside the Dynamic mutant but it still shows the conflict flag.Sorry before, I'm really new with this kind of thing.

[steep wing]

So i need to Install the Dynamic noc and the soundscape separately?

But the Conflict flag still there? or thats how it's works?

I see, thanks man.I really appreciate your help!

[dense mural]

Hi I've just tried to install Atmosfear 3 and I have both C and E drive. I specify the correct directory for installation in the E drive because the C drive doesn't have enough space but part way through the installing process I get a message telling me that an error occurred while trying to read the source file: "C:\Users\William\AppData\Local\temp\7zO805099F7\data\bin\xRender_R3.dll"

It makes sense that that file doesn't exist because it's scanning the wrong directory but I don't know how to get it onto the E drive beyond doing what I did earlier in the installation and specifying the E drive.

Any help?

[harsh hazel]

did you play with the animation mod thing?

[jade stump]

Its looking in your Appdata, appdata is always on C: unless you manually changed it.

[acoustic prawn]

Guys do you think Expedition 2.0 is worth it?

Im playing on vanilla Anomaly (with some minor mods)

[ruby star]

Ofc no

The modpack is very very prone to crashing

And you will have to either fix it yourself or contact the author

Get screen space shader+enhanced shaders+a reshade of your liking instead

[acoustic prawn]

Oh ok. Thanks for the answer

[steep sphinx]

(Anomaly) Anyone got 1.5.1-compatible mod/code that allows you to use toolkits as vice?

[ruby star]

Try asking in the anomaly discord, iirc one guy has a mod that does what you ask

[steep sphinx]

I'm banned from it lol

I think I argued with staff about something years ago

[ruby star]

Bruh, lemme ask for you

[steep sphinx]

I tried merging 1.5 code but it doesn't work

Hmm, it seems like Grok's craft and repair overhaul might just have the code..

[ruby star]

Try checking hideout furniture

You get an actual workbench

[steep sphinx]

Odd

I used Grok's code but crashed

and it's the same I had, too

[ruby star]

well they said grok's craft and repair overhaul has it integrated

[steep sphinx]

Yeah, I have the exact code

and it crashes

on 1.5.1

[ruby star]

you use mo2 or not?

[steep sphinx]

no

[ruby star]

well then fixing it will be hard

[steep sphinx]

Yeah

[error]Expression    : <no expression>
[error]Function      : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File          : ..\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp

If anyone was curious about logs

I'm no coder but it seems like the code scope cannot reach txr_utils

🤷🏻

It crashes whenever I 'Use' a toolkit, therefore .ltx file is alright

the script seems faulty in my case

[steep sphinx]

@austere bison Hey, sorry for the ping - but maybe you could give some input on this?

[sour mulch]

Food drugs and drinks

[hardy reef]

i've been running it for a while now and it's never crashed more often than regular anomaly for me

don't think i did anything special to it either

[austere bison]

What are you using on what ?

Anomaly ? Which version of it ? Which addons ?

[steep sphinx]

Using the toolkit

Anomaly 1.5.1, I've got addons that change how artifacts work, addons that show thrist/sleep/hunger, addons that change how outfits look, food/tools animations mod, addon for mutant bleeding

and couple of minor changes I made manually

But nothing that would conflict directly with your toolkit-as-workshop mod

The only change I made in the files that your mod uses is

making disassembling tools not use condition

and also there's a minor change in Sleeping tools segment - I left it unchanged because I think that's how it is like in 1.5.1 vanilla file

Actually, hold on

Hmm

Okay, I found the issue, it seems

I think I used a wrong script file

or rather a conflicting script file

Maybe from an older mod? I can't tell. It's name is ui_workshop.script - and the crash logs point to that, while your mod uses workshop_tool.script

I removed the rogue file and it works now. Sorry for the bother.

I just looked at the file that conflicted with your scripts that got here for some reason (I was manually merging mods from 1.5 into 1.5.1 so that's probably how it got there)

[austere bison]

If you have troubles and want a modded game, try using stalker gamma or efp 😉

[steep sphinx]

I tried EFP looking for something less complex / micromanagey than Anomaly

But it wasn't

Gamma I might check out

I was generally looking for a freeplay mod that isn't as complex or unforgiving as Anomaly, but still offers the stability of the open xray engine

I ended up mostly-manually modifying Anomaly 1.5.1 for now

[austere bison]

Gamma is complex so I guess not your cup of tea

But it’s « good » complex

[steep sphinx]

ye suuuure

[ebon tusk]

50gigabytes
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[austere bison]

And ?

New npc models and new guns + world texture

Also, auto updates

You can delete the downloads folder and save 10Gb

[ebon tusk]

you lose any good will when your mod file size is less well optimized than R6S

[austere bison]

And 50Go is counting Anomaly

[austere bison]

Welp, please tell me how big modded Skyrim and FO4 are

[ebon tusk]

I know

[austere bison]

[ebon tusk]

I couldnt tell you I don't mod bad games really

Haha

[austere bison]

It’s simply because of how XRay is made

For instance gun attachements system takes a lot of space

Because of how it’s made

[ebon tusk]

I have seen large mods before that are WELL less of the size,this is smth else

[austere bison]

That’s because of how gamma is made

[ebon tusk]

well then,then we have Smth that should be optimized going forward don't we

And why ain't it already optimized?

[austere bison]

I could repack the entire thing and compress everything while stealing half the community intellectual property, but I don’t because I care about the intellectual property

[ebon tusk]

I'm jus saying,if your mod takes 50gb,which is larger than TripA games already,I'm gonna get in with some REALLY high expectations

[austere bison]

And gamma is more optimised than most Anomaly modpacks

[steep sphinx]

Does anyone know any addon for Anomaly which removes distant ambient sound effects? (like mutant howls, screams etc)

[austere bison]

The size is only about the models pal

[ebon tusk]

anomaly modpacks are universally bad so it's not a Margin to live by

[ebon tusk]

Good to know that modders fall under the same errors of Trip A Devs really hooray

[austere bison]

You are clueless

[ebon tusk]

I am completely sane

[austere bison]

Comparing triple A and passion modding projects

Yeah sure

[austere bison]

It’s because of how X-ray is made and how models are stored

[ebon tusk]

then I will judge it with the expectations of a mod
50 gigabytes is a complete lunacy

[austere bison]

50gb is nothing nowadays anyways

Anomaly is about 12Go already

• 10Gb of download

And keep the addons extracted

[ebon tusk]

a yes just BC I live in a 5G 120 gigabit per second network city it means everyone does and nobody has a problem with games getting larger

I've always been a little asshole with large in size games

[austere bison]

It’s not 50Gb to download

[austere bison]

Yeah I can smell that

[ebon tusk]

Just saying,What I've seen of Gamma and the file size
ITS SMELLING REAL BAD

[austere bison]

Judging something on file size is pointless

And it’s simply because of the textures and models

And because you need to keep the addons as zip for the auto updater to work

[ebon tusk]

I really only judged it by the change list and the comments of other ppl,the file size puts the nail in the coffin of wether or not I'll actually try it out for myself

[austere bison]

well, the discord server has 34k happy people

And I bet you surely checked the 2000 commits or so

[ebon tusk]

Then I will stay happy,clueless and oblivious to Gamma as I've always been and always will
I'm sure it would make me sad to play it

Judging by the change list

[austere bison]

Well if you don’t like survival, don’t play it

[ebon tusk]

I'd have given it a complete overview and a fair chance but if I have to wait an entire afternoon to play it,in a good day where there are no internet breaks or spikes,killed any possibility to do so which is kinda sad,I was interested in what they were doing even if just a little

I may not like the complete hardcore style of gameplay stalker modding has been related to but it is at the very least good to play them and see for yourself if it is good or not and judge it's good and bad parts

[austere bison]

Just launch the download overnight. With a good connexion it takes 30min though

[ebon tusk]

with the frequency of power outtages I really dont feel like leaving my PC open without supervision

the download will get corrupted,and my time wasted

[austere bison]

Well, the installer is sturdy: if some download fails relaunching the install will only download the corrupted addons

[ebon tusk]

you'll make me download it wont you
I sure hope my ISP doesnt cut my connection this month bc of this

[green warren]

@ebon tusk Where would I find the crash log?

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly folder-gamedata-logs

[green warren]

Cool, found it.

Small enough for me to just paste over the entire file, I believe that's the correct file.

[ebon tusk]

Send me the most recent crash log

[green warren]

The only other log file is a .bak file, looks slightly different. But those are the only 2 files in the log folder.

I even did a search of the folder, those are the only log files I can find

I'm guessing it failed to make a crash log file when it crashed, probably because it crashed my entire PC?

That was the only crash I had, the game will still load up, it just takes forever and is super slow when it does.

[ebon tusk]

If th game does not crash when playing then there won't be any crash logs
Try to defrag or trim your local drive and analyze it
If its not working try to clear the cache

[green warren]

K retrimmed. Luckily it's a m.2 so it takes literally 5 seconds :p

How would I clear cache?

[ebon tusk]

I rly wouldnt keep high expectations
X-ray isn't the most optimized of the bunch and if it needs to load a lot then It will take some time

[green warren]

Issue persist, so I'm going to do a fresh install. Luckily I still have the zip file

Is there any way for me to backup my graphics settings? I imagine there's a config file somewhere?

[ebon tusk]

I think it's a file called AXR_options.ltx

[green warren]

Huh... Weiiiird...

Fresh install gives me that, every time I press the settings button.

[ebon tusk]

Looks like there is a nil value in the UI for the options screen

[green warren]

That's so weird.

Oh, maybe because I haven't launched it yet? but still, odd.

[ebon tusk]

Did you delete the folder?were you using any mods that are now missing?

[green warren]

I completely deleted the anomaly folder and re-extracted it to a fresh folder

I'm redoing it, just in case there was error with extracting that didn't come up before.

[ebon tusk]

Were you using any mods that now arent installed?

[green warren]

Nope, only mod is Anomaly itself.

[ebon tusk]

This is strange,and smth I can't help you with,if the problem persists go to the anomaly server and ask for help,I don't know much about their tweaked OpenXray64 engine and it would be better to ask them directly

[green warren]

No problem, thanks for all the help 🙂

[ebon tusk]

I hope you can solve the issue
Good luck

[green warren]

Well very bad news.

I tried other games, it seems to be a issue with my graphics card. Stalker COP vanilla gives me a 'Your graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements' wtf.

[ebon tusk]

X-ray doesn't play nice with AMD graphics cards,this is a well known issue that I thought was fixed

[green warren]

uh no

It's EVERY game

[ebon tusk]

You can see the engine tries to use NVAPI,fails and tries to use a other lib and succeds

[green warren]

I'm HOPING my graphics driver got corrupted somehow.

Device manager is showing ```This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.```

And it is FIXED

[ebon tusk]

Update your driver's

[green warren]

Device Manager > found my graphics card > options > roll back drivers > update drivers again > now working

I already had the newest driver, apparently the crash corrupted my driver.

[ebon tusk]

that is very alarming

Are you using the new update to anomaly

[green warren]

Yea, 1.5.2

I was very very worried. I thought my graphics card was fried.

[ebon tusk]

Not yet

[green warren]

Well game is working great now sooooo.... I hope it doesn't happen again? lmfao

[steep wing]

So I've just finished raiding the NPP, but there's not a single monolith ever used M4, KS23 and the others BaS weapon except AK, SKS and the Glock.
I've only installed the "Loot Rebalance" mod but i don't think it the one that cause it.
Or do i have to unlock it on trader cuz or something like that to possibly have it?

[abstract grove]

How do I export my warfare settings? I can't find a warfare_options.ltx or anything like that anywhere in the game folder.

Or my gameplay/progression settings, for that matter.

[hardy sequoia]

May be tied to difficulty settings but wouldn't know

[simple mason]

what files do i have to manually move to steam Call Of Pripyat folder to use Gunslinger mod?

i tried to install the mods in the CoP folder like all the tutorials in youtube show but it just pops an error

[ebon tusk]

quite sure new gunslinger has an installer

[simple mason]

Yes for some reason it doesnt let me drop the files in CoP folder

[ebon tusk]

do you know what an installer is?

[simple mason]

No

Is it like a full game

[ebon tusk]

extract the files in a different folder and run the exe file it'll start the installer,should anyway

you'll then need to tell it where the game is so it can install

[simple mason]

Ok

Thx

[polar dew]

Could anyone help me install atmosfear on cs? It's a bit complicated

[ebon tusk]

ok,so,I installed and played it for a while and I can conclusively say,its mhe,it solves none of the problems anomaly has
but I do have to give it to the developer,it currently is the best BaS installer and optimizer,a shame BaS isnt good,but the modpack actually made it fit
I aint a fan of all the HD resolutions,but I cant deny it looks better
It's very well done,its just a shame it swerves thru all the problems anomaly has and builds on top of that boring and spotty foundation
no matter much glitter you put on that base it'll still be boring,the only way to fix it is to change the base itself

am sick of ppl not fixing the base game,gonna do it myself

[austere bison]

It’s 100 times more interesting than an over simplified OG series like gameplay for a free play mode but ok. Thanks for the feedback

OG series gameplay work because it’s story driven

Anomaly is open world free play at core with survival elements, but everything is badly blended, convoluted and there’s no real sense of progression

[austere bison]

More like, tired of people not accomplishing your vision of the game.

[ebon tusk]

which is why it fails,to essentially fix anomaly,you need to fix these things,completely overhaul mission and rank systems along with the story

giving more tools to play in a boring sandbox wont really make it fun

[austere bison]

Good luck writing and implementing an interesting story

[ebon tusk]

I am not,you fail to understand,the story doesnt need to be good,all it needs to do is relate to player progression and directly correlate with the faction youre playing with

[austere bison]

Welp, gamma actually have a real sense of progression and « barriers » tied to the story

[ebon tusk]

Stalkers are freelancer's,they're handyman,the story of a stalker is filled with busywork,so it stands to reason the story of a freeplay mod could incorporate this into it

you play a freeplay mod to be a nameless stalker,no reason to spin the web that youre the chosen one instead

[austere bison]

Just ignore the story then

[ebon tusk]

before I can really go hard with any of this I need to debloat anomaly

[austere bison]

And just do jobs

[ebon tusk]

exactly,the story being flashy directly infringes the idea of being a nameless stalker,make them feel like missions instead,might be the solution

[hardy sequoia]

if you wanted a good story in anomaly

[austere bison]

Please tell me how you’ll make that interesting gameplay wise with your debloating

[hardy sequoia]

the dumbasses that did it would have locked areas in which you don't play

as the story progresses

[ebon tusk]

debloating is just preparation to start the mod

[hardy sequoia]

and limits every side job and quest to those areas

[austere bison]

Do generic tasks for 3 days, buy aek and 30 medkits. Done

Why should you go to the CNPP

[ebon tusk]

I'll essentially delete Hip,half the guns and suits,the whole crafting system and all of the useless junk items

[hardy sequoia]

also the questlines need to actually exist and not just "go to X and speak with Y which will give you generic missions with no relation to the story whatsoever"

[austere bison]

I don’t see how it’s gonna make the game interesting

[hardy sequoia]

if you want to make it interesting theres a lot of work to do

for starters if you play on story mode to not get missions that send you to zaton for no good reason

[ebon tusk]

it's not,its just preparation for when I start modding,bloating the gun and suit pool will just detract from the individuality of each gun so if I have less guns I can tune them better

[hardy sequoia]

taking guns away
cringe take

[ebon tusk]

I'll have to at a later date touch on modeling so I can touch up the maps and re arrange them

[austere bison]

That’s already what’s done in gamma

[ebon tusk]

with BaS?🤨

[austere bison]

Yes

Fixed half bas guns

[ebon tusk]

then I should take the shoe of my mouth

and actually play more

still

[austere bison]

Removed all the duplicated guns etc

[hardy sequoia]

also you would need to rework the entire repair system so you can get tools without having to drop like 80k in repair kits and tools to repair parts

[austere bison]

Remade all npcs loadouts so good guns are rare etc

It takes time to perfectly balance the recoil of all guns based on their rarity though

[ebon tusk]

literally found a SVU in a bandit corpse on my second area,on a rookie bandit

I mean Im glad you gave me the freebie,dont wanna sound like an asshat

[ebon tusk]

just gut it at this point,it'll be too much work

[austere bison]

That’s what gamma does….

[ebon tusk]

still I want to stalker ranking have more to do with the game and how you interect with it,and add spice,try to make random encounters and such

[austere bison]

SVU that you can’t repair and has broken barrel diminishing damage and penetration

[austere bison]

Random encounters are managed by the alife already

[ebon tusk]

I meant more managed events,tho I ahve no idea if thats possible,you'll obviously know more about it

[austere bison]

You can spawn stuff as you like around the player if you want

Or in actual player map

You can do what you want mostly with spawning stuff

[ebon tusk]

I could have some fun with that,attribute it to a random chance when you trigger a certain switch on map or with your rank or with an action

I need to practice tho

thanks Grok

[austere bison]

Have fun learning LUA and the engine functions

Reverse engineering other peoples work etc

[ebon tusk]

I'll be sure to curse you whenever my compiler stops due to a misplaced :

[austere bison]

You don’t need to compile if you don’t change the engine

LUA scripts are reloaded after in game loading

[ebon tusk]

I'll try and search around
thanks for giving me the push to start tho,I had the idea rent free in my head for months but never acted upon it

[austere bison]

Been modding daily since 2020

[ebon tusk]

you did a p bang up job on GAMMA even tho I was giving it a hard time

[austere bison]

I can understand that all the crafting and repairing is not to everyone’s taste

[ebon tusk]

I wasnt totally on board but I still wasnt dismissive of it at the start,anomaly changed that tho lmao
made me really hard on the bloated weapon pool theory

[austere bison]

Guns progression in gamma is a high priority

You can be lucky and get a good gun with good barrel early

But it’s very rng

And it’s usually not the gun you expected

Hence this pushes you playing with guns you wouldn’t normally

And you learn to love your gun because you put parts of your soul in it, repairing it and finding it

It becomes yours. That’s not a bunch lf replaceable pixels you bought at a trader for few roubles

[ebon tusk]

I mean I really dont think I'll spend 50 hours on GAMMA to test that but I'll def play more to see further

btw quick question,what was your starting point for modding anomaly,or had you prior knowledge

[austere bison]

First real modding was for Anomaly

But I code for work in different languages

Hence learning LUA and reading code was easy

[ebon tusk]

I'll look around and ask some ppl in some server,have a good day dude

[hardy sequoia]

anything with parts is trash by default

unless it's 1 part per gun

avoid the bloat

do not increase it

[austere bison]

The bloat doesn’t matter. What matters is how to make an interesting and compelling progression

And how to make NPCs use guns and ammo without giving you away good gear instantly. Having a freeplay game where your equipment is done and final after 5 hours isn’t interesting

[austere bison]

Also 1 part per gun doesn’t make any sense mechanistically speaking… just remove parts all together then and make guns hard to repair directly. Don’t make them decay to avoid the maintenance thing

And manage jams only based on gun condition.

[ebon tusk]

do you manage jams on smth else?

[austere bison]

WPO manages jam based on parts condition

Gun condition only manages how fast parts degrade

Barrel condition dictates damage and penetration

(Because implementing a dispersion coefficient is too hard and needs engine modifications and this would also be even more frustrating to know 70% of your shots will not go where you aim)

[ebon tusk]

I see

[austere bison]

This delays the gun repair a bit and forces you to scavenge more

Imo there’s good bloat and bad bloat

Tarkov ammo diversity is the typical bad bloat thing

Guns parts don’t matter because you don’t give a damn about which parts you collect : you just keep the parts above a certain threshold and see which ones you have to repair a gun you like

Or you don’t give a shit and simply take a repair kit > right click gun > replace parts and you have a prestige gun instantly for few roubles

Pushing the player to scavenge and explore and venture in hard maps and take risks is what matters for a free play open world solo game

Gamma fixes one thing : you can’t progress if you stay south

[ebon tusk]

you are right,I really dont have anything else to say on the matter considering I was not thinking of basing it around repair systems since I was thinking on making it less hardcore survival and more akin to the old games

[polar dew]

Anyone know a fix for srp ? Sleeping bag crashes my game

[neon socket]

does call of chernobyl alter your FPS?

[rigid needle]

i have a problem:
when i make a gui (gamedata, SoC) and launch the game, it doesnt work, i changed fsgame.ltx gamdata to true true, and only after i move gamedata folder away, it launches and works perfectly fine.
anyone know how to fix that?

[boreal marsh]

hey

i want to install good old stalker mod for a stalker shadow of chernobyl

[hardy sequoia]

Go to modb and download the 3-5 parts of it plus the patches and follow instructions

[neon socket]

@austere bison oh hi grok! love your mod!

[fallow rose]

I'm having an issue installing Warfare (https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/warfare) onto Call of Chernobyl 1.4.22. I can play the game fine, play saves before the install but without the mod working in them. It's just when I tried to make a new game to play the mod to the fullest I got this error upon hitting start. Is there a compatibility issue I'm unaware of, and does this error mean that something's wrong with the install itself?

[austere bison]

Thanks 😊

[harsh hazel]

I have a dumb question
is there a pack where it only add the BaS reload animation and not the BaS weapon pack it self?
BaS reload animation is cool but the weapon pack just kill all of my frames

[hardy sequoia]

Probably not since BaS reloads are made for BaS weapons

You would need to pick all files regarding reloads that aren't BaS weapon-related

[ebon tusk]

Animations are made by moving the bones of a model,switching models and porting the same animation wont work unless you put some serious debugging work to fixing the bones

[hardy sequoia]

Basically, so no, you can't take the animations and slap it on something else

I had issues with some of the scopes BaS has as well so I simply don't use them

[nova aurora]

hey, sorry to bother, but one question, i need a bit of help, i downloaded Dead Air, i have the archives, the bug fixes and an Spanish translation, the game runs, but it does so in Russian, i have a guide that is helping me during the process, but it says that i need to change an text that is called localization.ltx, but when i try to search for it in the archives it doesn't appear, when i try to search in it sends me to an archive from the Anomaly mod, can someone help me with this?, i don't have many experience with downloading mods

[shadow juniper]

It is most likely in the "gamedata" folder

I don't remember exactly but it should be somewhere in "Gamedata > config > text"

[nova aurora]

sorry, i dont see it

the guide says that it should be here

but i dont see it

i can send the guide if you need

[nova aurora]

(the guide)

[shadow juniper]

I would try downloading and installing the translation mod again

Since it appears that you don't have the file

[nova aurora]

thx, ill try that and tell if it worked or not

[shadow juniper]

If you are still confused where the file might be, you should check the translation mod

Also if it prompts you to replace files, press yes to all

[nova aurora]

tysm, i tried it again and it worked this time

have a nice day/night

[nova aurora]

sorry to bother, but one more thing, the language problem was solved, but i have 2 more issues
1- every time i close and open the game the settings reset, the resolution, the DirectX, everything
2- the game closes when i try to start a game

[shadow juniper]

Maybe a corrupted file

[nova aurora]

damn...

do i need to reinstall the game?

what should i do with the other archives?

delete them?

[shadow juniper]

Also did you switch from RUS to ENG in localization?

[nova aurora]

rus to esp

[shadow juniper]

yea, and in game

[nova aurora]

nope, but the game is in spanish

at least the menu

i changed it in the archives

[shadow juniper]

I would make a new game folder and try installing it again with the patch

I also heard that winrar has problems with extracting larger files, haven't really experienced it myself but it wouldn't hurt to try extracting with 7zip

[nova aurora]

7zip?

[shadow juniper]

Its similar to winrar

You can have both installed no problem

[nova aurora]

this one?

[shadow juniper]

Yes

[nova aurora]

aight

here are the bug fixes extracted with 7zip

ill install them, then ill try to install the spanish translation again if it gets deleted

[shadow juniper]

Also you should be running it as administrator

[nova aurora]

ohhhhhhh, ok

ITS ALIVE

Tysm, i'm so sorry if I annoyed you too much with my problem, tysm for helping me

[shadow juniper]

Its fine, have fun playin

[safe island]

hello friends

where do you download anomaly redux 1.1 without torrenting

[hardy sequoia]

just go to the modb site

[shrewd folio]

i installed the expedition mod and did everything according to the instructions but the game started looking like this and it doesnt go back to normal even if i uninstall the expedition folder (both of these pictures were taken during the day) so i went to dx10 instead of 11 and the problem wasnt there but now i loaded back in and it looks like this again. Is there any way to fix this and keep my game saves?

the second picture was taken in broad daylight with no clouds

it also looks like this no matter the time

[delicate trellis]

Can anyone help? Access to the command line in Stalker anomaly was denied... it used to work yesterday, I didn't change anything

Basically I can't play the game because commandline is used to Initiate the game

[opaque breach]

mud

[nova aurora]

i need help, i'm playing stalker Dead Air and i want to start a new game, but every time i try to do so, it starts with the settings from the previous game, i also try deleting the saves but they just don't get deleted, someone knows what could cause this?

should i simply delete these?

[zenith epoch]

AlvaVidal8#8831 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[nova aurora]

aight

i deleted them, but now it doesn't lets me create a new game, i'll reinstall the game

[nova aurora]

i give up with Dead Air, going to uninstall it >: (

[sweet ocean]

Need help stuck in OGSR, Have to find Goldfish artifact for main quest dunno where

[sweet ocean]

Dunno if i could head into Yantar yet since i havent gotten all the X18 docs

Its been a while so yea

Also not looking forward to the horde of enemies on the way

[sly hill]

Stalker real good game...

[opaque breach]

who here have modding texture experience?

[rigid flax]

Does anybody know why whenever I download smth STALKER related in a damn zipfile it is always IMPOSSIBLE TO EXTRACT?!

[rigid flax]

woah

[ebon tusk]

Most likely BC you need to use Zip

[rigid flax]

Wait it's a glitch?

I mean in a sense

wait no
you're saying it's mistakenly put to extract as a zipped file

right?

[ebon tusk]

I'm just throwing ideas around
I heard that 7zip is better to extract zip files and that you should use it

[rigid flax]

I think instead you're giving a solution though, whenever I go into the file, it lags and lags when I highlight the folders

but why the hell is it selecting as zipped file then

[half latch]

anyone know how to mitigate the bloom with zrp?

[rustic flare]

Uninstall it.

[neon socket]

hi, ive tried to mod the game for cpl of days, and every single attempt failed. Unless i run a vanilla version it crashes.
I own the GOG version
I read all the guides etc i edited the fsgame file, i even pirated a 1.5 version of the game to test, all attempts have failed, seems the moment i make any changes, the game is ruined. Do you folks have any idea what could be causing this?

[lunar kettle]

Don't use the DX9 version of lighting, pick DX10

[neon socket]

Hello! Is there a way to get all of Anomaly's campfire&radio songs (Soldat, Gruppa Krobi etc..) without having the whole modpack?

I would like the ambiance yet remain on 'vanilla' stalker

Thanks in advance ! 😁

[river onyx]

hi, i was hoping some one could give me a titbit of advice. i am interested in playing anomaly, and it appears it is now a standalone? but needs CoP to work still? also, what is the best way for a brand new anomaly player to get started, i know there are quite a few mods for anomaly in particular, some better than others.

[sweet smelt]

Once S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 gets released, I'll bet Sidorovich and his bread stockpile if some madlad demakes it into Xray Engine.

[hardy sequoia]

If its a standalone you don't need anything

[sour mulch]

Anybody know if there is a similar mod like Gunslinger, but for SoC?

[green warren]

Anyone have recommendations for mods to try for Call of Pripyat? I already have Stalker Anomaly (and am really enjoying it) but I want to replay the vanilla COP. Looking for minor mods that don't change the base game too much.

[valid goblet]

Gunslinger is like what you've described you want. It's more the gameplay side and doesn't really change any content

If content is what you want maybe SGM? But I haven't played that one a whole lot so I don't know how much it changes

[dusk trellis]

It changes a lot actually. It's similar to OGSR. New versions add new locations(Cordon and Argoprom iirc) and quests

[valid goblet]

Ah okay

[green warren]

Gunslinger does look like a fun mod, I think I'll go with that one.

[dusk trellis]

Yeah it's a good weapon pack. It even adds like 2 minor quests

[valid goblet]

I had difficulties with my virus protection but after that it was smooth sailing

[deft swallow]

guys, i need some help regarding anomaly. im trying to find this animations mod but it seems like it was already removed. does anyone have a copy of the mod? thanks in advance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gINWjoFhgUc

[opaque breach]

hey guys i have a payed work for modders who knows about textures.. please pm me

[neon socket]

Gunslinger is incredibly immersive and, combined with Absolute Nature/Structures, my game looks very polished and feels really good

[uneven roost]

is there any addons for CotZ which automatically switch to ads in 3rd person view?

[minor spear]

anyone have a link for the latest/most recommended misery + gunslinger mod merge? i found a couple but they are like a year old

just wanted to make sure i have the best version possible before playing

[neon socket]

hey guys

idk if i should ask here but

does anyone have some sort of mod like BaS for clear sky or such

[ebon tusk]

thankfully no!

hi everyone, do somebody play Radiophobia 3? I really want to make a screenshot, but I can't disable minimap and health bar visibility... Can somebody help me?

[idle pollen]

How does one increase the shadowmap for the original stalker trilogy? is that even a thing? I thought it would be easy like skyrims is just "fshadowmap 4096" but i cant find any refrence to such a line in the user.LTX file, is it even possible to do?

specifically i was in the midst of trying to unravel why shadows look so godawful and glitchy when you increase the r2_sun_near amount and found out (or think i found out) its just cause the shadowmap is getting stretched out too much so increasing the map would fix that right?

[idle pollen]

the world may never know

[idle pollen]

ok well i wasnt able to turn up the shadow but i messed with the internal bloom and sun lumscale amounts and now the game is to my liking and as a added benefit its made that shadow pixlation farily hard to notice unless you look for it

so im happy

[boreal marsh]

question

: where do i get old good stalker mod?

for shadow of chernobyl

[hardy sequoia]

Modb

[half latch]

r there any not trash vanilla like kinda mods that aren't standalone?

Also looking for a goddamn patch for the CoP stuttering

[rustic flare]

Datastor modpack and RSA viper mod pack, don't know if they have english language.

[ruby citrus]

depends on what you want/need lol

[sweet ocean]

Stalker 2 should have tig bitti3s

[neon socket]

I agree

[neon socket]

stalker 2 should have the BBC

what no i mean big ba- ono i mean british broadcasting corporation

so they can come and report on da zone

lost fallout mod is so much fun

like the map is completely different

and the guns ahve been reworked and such

and PiP scopes

[idle pollen]

Ah yes of course

[neon socket]

quick question

i saw it in a youtube vid im sure of it

guy was looking in a separate direction he was pointing the gun

where is the feature from

some mod?

i think it was in anomaly

[solid robin]

Woah

@nova aurora

[faint bay]

Кек

[shadow juniper]

Its in Anomaly, there is a freelook option like in Tarkov. I don't remember the default keybind but its in the settings

[gaunt shore]

hello fellow stalkers, i'm looking for mods to enjoy SoC with

but not stuff like Solyanka or some other crazy compliations, what would you recommend?

something along the lines of vanilla++ experience, some cut content restoration is also nice

[rustic flare]

I dunno, RMA?
or something like the oblivion lost?

[sage yoke]

Maybe, Lost Alpha.

[gaunt shore]

i might give lost alpha and oblivion lost another chance cause i remember playing them years ago, never made it to the end tho

what's RMA? that's a one i haven't heard about

[rustic flare]

it's old storyline restoration,. if you google it or search for it on Reddit there is some sort of "review" .
also, download link on Moddb (I think)
I dunno, Lost alpha kinda good.

[gaunt shore]

Ahh i see

Shadow Addon is based on it right?

[boreal marsh]

hey

you know how to get old good stalker?

i guess from mod db but i want this particular version one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HmmcLGk2_4&t=1470s

[deep gust]

privet, stalkers.

smoking crashes my game

how do I fix this

[ebon tusk]

Stop smoking

It's bad for your body bro

[deep gust]

It wokred

but how do I fix myself of radiation now?

[ebon tusk]

Water,alcohol and anti rad drugs

[deep gust]

yes

[ebon tusk]

have you ever installed a mod?ever read the description of anomaly on moddb?

No to neither?
Have you ever even played one of the stalker games at least?

A quick read thru the moddb page will get you the knowledge that Anomaly is standalone
Meaning,you require no game it's a simple export and play

[harsh hazel]

open the animation mod file

find addons

[deep gust]

thankkkk for help

I give you jellyfish anomaly for this

[harsh hazel]

open asnsens cig animation

copy the gamedata inside the folder

paste it in the game file

[deep gust]

thank u thank uuuuu

[harsh hazel]

let it overdrive

and you'll be fine

[deep gust]

than you so much

[harsh hazel]

have fun speedrunning life

[rustic flare]

LoL K.

guys remote explosives dont work anymore guys what do i doefijapojifd

[rustic flare]

I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm not the mod creator, i didn't even made that video. Just google for OGSR , maybe you find some more info.

[boreal marsh]

do you have other link???

[rustic flare]

Uuuh yeah, sure, here you go. google.com

[rustic flare]

Don't DM out of nowhere, I'm not tech support.
And again, I'm not the creator of the video, or the mod, I never played it so I never had a reason to download it.

[boreal marsh]

bro

chill

i write here because if you dont know how people like you willhelp

[rustic flare]

I'm ok with you writing in here, no problem with that, but you didn't had to DM me. and you didn't had to ping me with your messages, if you want as much help as you can get, google for OGSR, some official site would be best bet, and try to give more info not just "It doesn't work".
