no,write it

[hollow oak]

Sorry i will ask another people

[remote pike]

whats the issue, are you stuck in some part of the game, is it constantly crashing, can you not launch the game

[ashen hornet]

dudes did gamma get updated?

[ancient wind]

WHO CARES!

[ashen hornet]

was just wondering cause the anomaly moddb was a bit slow

[hazy kelp]

If you wanna know go check the gamma discord server… or the launcher itself

[ebon tusk]

hmm,moddb servers a bit slow,must be gamma releasing a new update...

lel

[ancient wind]

[exotic wolf]

Gamma, new update, didt know, must play monolith demand so

[spring fog]

yo just occured to me. is there any specific lore why places like yanov station have power?

[remote pike]

All bases have power, because of generators, in CS duty at the red forest used a truck to power the lights

In CS loners used a generator for power

[fiery fulcrum]

Anomaly light bulbs 🗿

[dim cloud]

yo guys does the anomaly mod work for any game of stalker

[ancient wind]

what does that mean

[dim cloud]

i mean like i want a good graphical mod for the clear sky and i found out that theres a thing called anomaly but it says the mod is for cop but people saying that it also works for clear sky (took the SS from the anomaly's moddb site)

[ancient wind]

anomaly is a standalone

[dim cloud]

oh i thought its a mod for every stalker game that makes it look more detailed and graphical idk

I personally think vanilla looks so old rn thats why

[ancient wind]

urg....

anomaly makes the game looks so much worse

it might have more detail, but it changes the color scheme

kinda ruins the feel

[dim cloud]

i played the cop with anomaly mod, it felt so good besides the vanilla

but my question is, is the anomaly just for CoP or does it also work with clear sky (the same file)

[ancient wind]

i just said, anomaly is a standalone

[dim cloud]

so that means its just for CoP?

[ancient wind]

no, its stand alone

[dim cloud]

no ok its for every game

[ancient wind]

what

[ancient wind]

no. its STANDALONE.

[dim cloud]

cuh just tell me i got clear sky would the anomaly work with it yes or no question

[ancient wind]

ITS STANDALONE WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND 💀

[fast ember]

Standalone means it's separate

[ancient wind]

its its own game

[dim cloud]

then i need to find another mod for clear sky

to get better graphics + gun system

[ancient wind]

now personally i disagree with it because you get like the entirety of stalker assets for free, they should have made it require a CoP installation to play

[ancient wind]

i use one but i forgot what it was called

clear sky complete or something

graphics are the same

[dim cloud]

u mean this one?

[ancient wind]

probably

[ebon tusk]

get SRP

for Clear Sky

[dim cloud]

What does srp stand for @ebon tusk

[ebon tusk]

[neon socket]

Happy Yalda everyone 🍉🎇

[ancient wind]

whar

[indigo ledge]

anomaly and its consequences xD

[indigo ledge]

anomaly is a standalone (it is in its own folder and doesnt replace any game files from or require the original game) and its a total conversion. it changes everything about the game, it removes the story and instead is just an open world sandbox where u do randomly generated quests and shoot enemies

[remote pike]

anomaly for cop?? Lol

[dim igloo]

How are you guys liking true stalker so far

[viscid stone]

is good

[ebon tusk]

its,really really good
the only porblem are typos that will be shortly fixed
its very well polished,scripted,written and balanced

[strange cosmos]

Has anyone had any problems with True Stalker?

I can't get the game to work

some Openal error I think

[ebon tusk]

https://www.openal.org

you need openal

[strange cosmos]

Yeah I installed that waaay before True Stalker

[ebon tusk]

what is the error message it returns

[strange cosmos]

openal can't create sound device or something

[ebon tusk]

reinstall

[viscid stone]

the only thing in true stalker that i'm kind of odd about is the fact that you no longer use a pda for things like the map and the task list, instead it is regular ingame menu

it is well made though so

[normal epoch]

What are you guys talking about stalker anomaly?

[ebon tusk]

we are talking about a new stalker mod called True Stalker

[normal epoch]

A

Ok

Where can i install

The mod

[ebon tusk]

its on APPRO only if memory serves me right

the Google Drive links should be fine as well

if you want the torrent tell me

[neon socket]

can somebody tell me where can i find the stalker 2 health HUD mod and add to anomaly

[mint vigil]

@ebon tusk yo brotherman!
Have you tried that newly released mod? True stalker?

[ebon tusk]

sure did,its great

[mint vigil]

I downloaded the setup yesterday and I'm planning to give it a go. I've been waiting for its release for quite sometime now. Reviews seems fine atm

Guess we got some small distraction after all

[remote pike]

I saw on pictures there's floating islands in cordon

That mod is amazing

[spring fog]

see. I dont understand why true stalker is so loved but anomaly is so hated. the excuses I hear for why anomaly is bad are just as applicable to true stalker

also. why do tushkanos 2 tap and come in packs of 04010512512

[remote pike]

You'll learn one day

[spring fog]

orrr you can just explain it

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly is 2 2014 mods badly smushed together and optimized REALLY REALLY badly
True Stalker is a coherent,well done,long story mod
these 2 are not the same

[spring fog]

so you look based on story wise not in totality? or do i misunderstand

and wdym optimized bad. if anything that should be a plus in the OG mind given the OGs abysmal optimization. but tbh i never really had any glaring issues with anomaly

[ebon tusk]

the totality is taht it is a great mod
everything has been redone
it is fully voiced,with native en,ru and ukr translation,with custom UIs and custom Assets,new models that fit stalker,along with new cutscenes
the new characters fit

[spring fog]

yea. so how is that that much different than anomaly?

minus the "everything redone" ig

and lang

but those are not "game" stuff so to speak

im talking strictly as a person playing the game, i notice bigger differences between true stalker and the OGs than between anomaly and the OGS

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly is really really badly thrown together which hampers its one main thing
which is,(its a modding framework),but it actively makes this harder considering that its an old version of an old mod smushed with old edits smushed with other old edits
its spaghetti code all badly thrown together and at the end you cant make anything good there

[spring fog]

thats understandable. but from a game perspective. code doesnt matter. thats what im talking about

[ebon tusk]

we are not talking about OGs here
Anomaly is badly balanced as well,and it is freeplay
TS is a story mod with side quests and main quests,its maps are exclusive to themselves since they are remixes,totally new,it uses a new version of OXR engine which makes it run smooth and very well optimized,its really well put together

there is no comparison to Anomaly

bc TS isnt doing what Anomaly is

Anomaly is just CoC with more spaghetti code and more bloat

TS is a long story mod

[spring fog]

my entire question is about why OG people love TS but not A

[ebon tusk]

bc TS is an actually good mod
TS is like a new game,

[spring fog]

never once had any issues with running anom. new engine, whatever. having main quests and side quests and maps are something both games have. and bloat matters not. nor does spagetti code

[ebon tusk]

yes but anomaly is a strange bad retelling
TS has good quests and side quests
and no the bloat that anomaly has does not help

[spring fog]

when it comes down to it the most common complaints I see from OG lovers is
too much new items
not similar to OG in the setting of the zone. IE different areas and such
prolly more i have just not got the words for rn

and ultimately, TS has both new items and different areas.

[ebon tusk]

its like saying,why ppl like RTTZ and dislike Anomaly

[spring fog]

whats that acronym

[ebon tusk]

Return to the Zone

bottomline tho

divorce Mods for the Main games

[spring fog]

ah havent seen that so idk

oh that is another. they dont like that anomaly is standalone

[ebon tusk]

Mods arent stalker and dont need to hbe
they shouldnt be forced to be stalker
they can be whatever they want to be

Anomaly is just,bad as a mod by itself

[spring fog]

wait. thats a direct contradiction to the problem of anomaly then?

[ebon tusk]

?

I can say that mods arent stalker and that anomaly is bad as a mod itself

[spring fog]

but thats not what im asking

[ebon tusk]

youre asking why ppl like TS and not Anomaly

[spring fog]

as I said earlier. no

Im not asking if the mod could be better. ofc. it can. ofc TS is a better made product. it seems to be bigger people and more time
Im asking why the hate for anomaly is reasoned with the reasons I gave but those reasons somehow dont apply to TS

because its the same in those regard

heck. u brought up the UI. the UI in anomaly is rather similar. the UI in TS is nothing like the OG

[ebon tusk]

bc Anomaly is often tied to ppl who never played the OGs and dont care about them,so ppl who hate these ppl associate Anomaly to them
but in reality,anomaly is just a worse version of CoM

[spring fog]

yea. but thats a poor assosation because its just not true.
as for worse CoM idk

[ebon tusk]

it is what it is

[spring fog]

Aside from the tushkano being really OP for some reason, I don’t mind TS. will get me some good zone game time I think haha

[ebon tusk]

its a story mod,like a new game

[ocean spear]

I recorded a video, link in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[fringe nymph]

What is this true stalker mod?

and dose it come in english

[ebon tusk]

Basically a new game
And yes it comes in english

[fringe nymph]

the UI looks really good

is it a mod or like a new game like you say(anomaly

is it out,how do i download it?

[ebon tusk]

It's like a new game
The maps are been completely changed along with the UI, completely new story voice acted and scripted with cutscenes,and side quests,and it comes in En/Ru/Ukr

[sick coyote]

super excited to try this out

[wicked kernel]

wtf how

[wild rock]

Ik True Stalker came out 2 days ago and all;but does anyone know If True Stalker can have addons(like those with Anomaly) installed ? If yes can they be installed using Mod Organizer?

[ebon tusk]

there are no addons,I do not think there will be,True Stalker isnt at all like Anomaly and you can go by assumption it wont work like it,MO2 isnt recommended or needed

[wild rock]

Thank you ^_^

[pearl pelican]

HUD/Menus sare messed up in True Stalker when using a 21:9 resolution.
Anyone know a fix?

[ebon tusk]

there is no current support for 4:3 or 21:9 resolutions,the true stalker team is working on it tho

[crude quail]

is the default AMK for SoC good and worth it?

[pearl pelican]

Thanks for the info.

[sick coyote]

its an addon for CoC

its called mutants uprising

okey

https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/call-of-chernobyl-mutants-uprising

[dapper halo]

Default AK isn't the worst gun in SoC for sure, but there are plenty guns that are way better

[sick coyote]

make sure to run it on 1.4.22 CoC

[tired niche]

Anyone knows how to disable the head bobbing in True Stalker?!
Already set cam_inert 0, cam_slide_inert 0, nothing works 😦

[rugged pond]

does anyone know how to fix this

[crude quail]

I meant the mod

[ebon tusk]

It's p outdated by now,AMK is a really old ass mod,like one of the first,most of what it has has been implemented and reinterpreted in others for years and years now

[crude quail]

Is there like a remake of AMK or smth, bcs i love the features but i dont want a laggy and unreliable mod. Also i dont want to downgrade

[ebon tusk]

dont think so

[crude quail]

Dang it, thanks tho

[indigo ledge]

The only issues I had are the encyclopedia pages going off the screen

[indigo ledge]

No stalker mods besides Anomaly support mod organizer 2. The only other mods with tons of add-ons like Anomaly are other free play mods like Call of Chernobyl, Call of the Zone, etc.

[summer vault]

Hello guys, The startup of true stalker was listed by my PC as a dangerous file, I searched online and I saw that it's not confirmed 100% to be safe ( some rogue developer may have infected the files with a Trojan some people said ) I'm not sure about launching the game

[indigo ledge]

Womp womp

Re install it from mod db if you're paranoid

[summer vault]

I did the download from the Google drive, if i remember it well the second download is on some russian site, maybe I should try the russian site ? I can read Cyrillic and I may understand some words cus I'm polish

[indigo ledge]

Do whatever feels right lol

[summer vault]

Okey, thanks for the help

[wild rock]

[ebon tusk]

is there a mod for any stalker game that has a GUI to join any faction at the beginning of the game?

[ebon tusk]

its freeplay

[dim cloud]

downloading rn

[granite grail]

In Anomaly, what game files should I look at to tweak the places and times of monster spawns?
For example, I would like monsters (except dogs, boars, zombies and burrers) to spawn after the Emission only in the center of the Zone, and then gradually disperse to other locations.

Is this even possible?

[ebon tusk]

youd need to use the SDK to tweak a specific file,I dont recommend it if you arent experienced and youll need help
https://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=S.T.A.L.K.E.R._MOD_portal
and the C-Con server might help you tho

[fickle nebula]

Is it a common thing that vanilla SoC crashes on PC all the time?

[ruby citrus]

well yeah but not really

[fickle nebula]

I mean "normal"

Pretty annoying, sometimes I can't even play for 3 mins and the game just stops

[ruby citrus]

then you have something wrong with your game

[remote pike]

You gotta describe it more

[fickle nebula]

Walking/looting in random, different areas and the game just closes itself without any error window. I'm playing it on Steam, I already tried to verify the files, it did not worked unfortunately.

Someone in the game discussion suggested some kind of "Zone Reclamation Project" modpack against crashes but it was not helpful for me

This is my last game log if it's helpful for someone:

also changing settings to maximum and restarting turns them back to normal

[ebon tusk]

you installed the game in a protected folder
grab the game folder and put it in your desktop

[fringe nymph]

Alright

What about screen rez

[ebon tusk]

whats the screen resolution you play at,4:3 or 21:9

[fringe nymph]

it works now

[ebon tusk]

nice

[strange cosmos]

Does anyone have a mod for SoC to toggle ironsights?

[ebon tusk]

wdym toggle ironsights?

[strange cosmos]

Not having to hold to aim

[ebon tusk]

ho

[strange cosmos]

toggling aim

[dim cloud]

@ebon tusk yo i downloaded CoC but i think theres no story am i blind or there isnt a story?

[ebon tusk]

there is no story,bc its Freeplay
if you want smth with story,try Legend Returns

I wonder if the translation was released already...

[dim cloud]

its a weird mod

but looks cool because it has a better faction war system than the clear sky i assume

right?

[ebon tusk]

if youre going for story there wont be any warfare mode,these 2 arent compatible in any freeplay mod
you could always try an old mod called The Faction Wars for CS,it merges these 2 aspects

[dim cloud]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-clear-sky-the-faction-war/images/resources#imagebox this one?

[ebon tusk]

yhea,this one

[dim cloud]

do u think moddb files are safe to use/open/give adminstrator perms

because the mod asks for admin perms

[ebon tusk]

yhea,did it all the time

thats the installer

its not the mod itself

[dim cloud]

the game doesnt want to open lol

i didnt remove the clear sky complete mod maybe thats why

[ebon tusk]

yes

it is

completely delete Clear Sky,make a clean reinstall and try to re install the mod
dont forget to download the patches

[dim cloud]

now game just crashed before it opens

sadly

[ebon tusk]

did you install the patches

[dim cloud]

i didnt even install the mod this time

I just uninstalled it

then installed again

and it started to crash

i didnt touch anything (didnt try to inject the mod this time)

[ebon tusk]

make sure Steam isnt download the saves from when you were playing with Complete

steam cloud

[dim cloud]

alright

[remote pike]

Think it's a mutant issue, try reinstalling

[ruby citrus]

some mutant is spawning in non-existent places, try a different save/avoid the area where the crash happens

[fringe nymph]

hope mods will get compatible with true stalker im having a blast playing it

[fringe nymph]

wish the backpack showed on the mod

[boreal marsh]

Hey there 🇬🇪

[fringe nymph]

hi

[muted scarab]

That newest standalone S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mod called as "True Stalker" (very original name, I know) which is a total conversion is great so far! Also the first time I saw that anomaly from a distance I though these were tree-houses xD

[fickle nebula]

no crash so far, I hope it stays this way, thanks

[shrewd oak]

Anyone who plays true stalker, do you know if the "weighted" mouse sensitivity with different weapons? e.g. I have lower sensitivity with heavier weapons

[fiery fulcrum]

I think it’s just gunslinger stuff , if you want to get rid of it- either upgrade handling of the weapon or just remove it via files

Didn’t really understand what exactly you want kek

[remote pike]

As the other dude said, it was cuz in that area a mutant couldn't spawn

So yeah, best solution to that problem is to avoid the area

[shrewd oak]

great, I didn't know it worked like that. Thanks!

[ebon tusk]

Mak sure you have all requisites installed and that the game is not on a protected folder

[dapper halo]

Misery is what I'm experiencing when people call stalker mod a true stalker when in reality real stalker is vanilla

[ebon tusk]

Well considering true stalker is actually interesting and misery is just a bad mod
Not unbelievable that ppl would do it

[dapper halo]

Vasim even you?

S'good mod

While misery is bad

Is there an issue with the unique groza repair quest in true stalker? I went to garbage underground and picked up all components I could find but I can't give it to the technician

Either I missed something or it's bugged. There is no quest markers neither at all

I think I'm missing a box of transistors. good luck for me

[foggy delta]

On a different topic I'm surprised the anomaly devs didn't use the 2nd redesign of Rostok instead of the Bar for the level Rostok. Most if not all the files, comparing files with the newer version, seem to be there and maybe could've had Rostok without the wild territory being separated.
Same goes for CNPP that is also here where they are not separated front and back. TBH maybe for guaranteeing performance for anomaly or they didn't know they existed in a possibly functional state in the files.
Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity there, but maybe would've been a lot more work to get it functioning unlike the release maps which were called for and used by the game.

something with animation section on config file maybe

[ashen hornet]

survivalist is the start of real men

but as for the file verification thing

may or may not be because of modded exes

hard survivalist is the true way to play anomaly

mostly because of the bad start and more expensive traders

it's totally acceptable to get mods that may or may not help with progression, like rank-based item condition

anomaly and gamma will never be real stalker

[feral hearth]

true stalker is pretty close though

[indigo ledge]

youre right. theyve surpassed STALKER.

[fast fern]

I like anomaly for extending my play for a giggle but I think most of the stuff like that and gamma care way too much about resource micro and gun autism than they do about the stuff that makes stalker really interesting, which is the Zone and all the messed up things that can be there and happen there

We have X number of very similar rifles with very small differences and a billion parts for maintaining each, sure, but I don't want to do chores I want to go around in the spooky place looking for magic rocks and trying to not die, the other stuff feels like it's missing the point

Comparatively few mods seem to do a lot for adding cool monsters that fit the vibe or making new anomalies or environmental hazards, etc. Admittedly those are a lot harder and require a lot more skill to make, but that's the kind of thing I'd want to see over "hey I added six new pistols and made the bandaging and medkit system more tedious"

calm your tits lil bro

this is the channel where mods belong

[fast fern]

Speaking of does anyone know some really good mods for like

[ebon tusk]

a stalker mod?

[ebon tusk]

Return to the Zone

[foggy delta]

Old story restoration mod for SoC?

[fast fern]

Ah TS was an accurate suggestion now that I'm reading

I saw new story I went

[ebon tusk]

I dont know who he was

[foggy delta]

yes, what is it?

[ebon tusk]

Wdym by dead

It is a very known mod just not in the western side

It's made by Jekan same guy who made goldsphere

And it's better than goldsphere

The safe in the swamp right?

Looks to the ground where a symbol of Jesus lies

||it's on the grave,the cross,try to get at it by behind BC the position to activate it is finnicky||

[stuck sun]

Does anyone know of a mod for SoC that enables Subtitles/CC for the game, or translates ukranian to english?

[frozen cosmos]

absolute banger

[sweet smelt]

||Is Yurok's death in True Stalker unavoidable?||

[foggy delta]

Yah don't spoiler message this!? I just installed it 15 mins and booted it up...

[sweet smelt]

My bad

sausage for compensation

[foggy delta]

Good ol sausage. TS seems ok, just quite slow start and big mutant packs respawning quickly and buckshot not defeating a dog with one shell at point blank among other nitpicks. Definitely something I'll need regular breaks from to keep coming back to playing it. I do kinda like how you reload pistols and sprint, but larger weapons require you to slow down and reload.

[ebon tusk]

||its unavoidable||

||can say that as infuriating the TS story may get and as hollow the world can be,it will still be better than whatever you can squeeze out of Misery 2||

hacvent played Misery 1

[wise peak]

Hey guys I've been looking to get into the stalker series and it seems shadow of chernobyl is the place to start but I've seen mentions of modpacks that make the graphics look better. My question being which mod/modpack would offer the best visuals without any chances to the gameplay/story/anything else.

[fiery fulcrum]

I hope true stalker can become a new mod platform or smth , the whole story and quests are too boring/old fashioned for me , but the visuals and the new pda menu is astonishing

[wise peak]

also if theres a recommended modpack to get rid of bugs/glitches

[foggy delta]

Only one I remember is old storyline restoration or RMA I think it is called... been long while and don't remember to many other mods for SoC

[wise peak]

thanks I'll look into it

another question is where can I find most of stalker's mods.nexus?

[foggy delta]

I used Moddb

[wise peak]

I see

[ebon tusk]

There is no way of that happening unless by a platform you mean mods that all revolve around TS
If anything
It will make forks easier
A mod this scripted doesn't do well with modular modifications and it uses OXR

So if you want to make a mod

Use OXR

[fiery fulcrum]

Oh well

[ebon tusk]

If this is your first playthru a vanilla or ZRP run is recommended before delving into very big mods

[foggy delta]

old storyline restoration brings you the vanilla story with the pieces in between that were cut before the release. SoC had a... troubled development shall we say... chunk of the game you download off steam isn't even used in pure vanilla XD

[ebon tusk]

Moddb,AP-PRO and other websites thru the web

[ebon tusk]

🤌 hopefully they can change the weapon pack and replace those awful gunslinger animations for better ones

[wise peak]

so its between rma and zrp. neither affect anything outside of visuals?well besides including cut content

[ebon tusk]

RMA is a content overhaul and is not recommended for first playthrus

[wise peak]

zrp it is

[ebon tusk]

ZRP is a mainly patching mod and doesn't change visuals
Like I said
Play as close to the vanilla as you can

As it is a old game you can max the settings out and get some pretty great shots out of it

Tho the best graphics are in CS

[foggy delta]

second playthrough RMA if you want, you might find the story be a bit smoother in RMA but the vanilla is what they could scrap together before the deadline

still good vanilla

just it's the roughest of the 3

[wise peak]

whats that stand for

[foggy delta]

clear sky

[wise peak]

I'll try out rma and cs after zrp

[foggy delta]

previously known as Anarchy Cell

[ebon tusk]

Clear Sky

Clear Sky is a main game

Not a mod

There are 3 stalker games

The first being SoC,or Shadow of Chernobyl
Then the second you should play is Clear Sky the prequel
The third game a detached game called Call of Pripyat

Shadow of Chernobyl-Zone Reclamation Project (ZRP)
Clear Sky-Sky Reclamation Project(SRP)
Call of Pripyat-no mods are needed to play

[wise peak]

ive heard a lot of anomaly and gamma. they're their own games?

[ebon tusk]

They are separate properties secular to the main games,they are mods but are standalone and pretty removed from stalker

As I said if you want to play stalker play the stalker games as vanilla as possible
If you want to play gamma or anomaly however I can point you to where they are

[wise peak]

I was tempted to jump straight to gamma because it looks fun but it would be better to know the story and get a general feel for the games before something like gamma

[ebon tusk]

I can say this that if what you want to play is GAMMA and not stalker you can play it since Anomaly and Gamma are quite so removed from Stalker
Stalker really is only the games

Don't play what you don't feel like playing basically
However if you do want to play stalker

[ebon tusk]

This should be the best way

[wise peak]

also I think you misunderstood my question earlier. What I meant is for SoC which mod would offer the best visuals

[ebon tusk]

I have not

[wise peak]

you mentioned clear sky but thats the second game no?

[ebon tusk]

Yes
As I said before your first play thru should really be as vanilla as possible

[wise peak]

I mean after that what mod would be the best for visuals

[ebon tusk]

Like I said
Maintain yourself to only that mod for now
But if you must I would recommend CrommCruacs Absolute Nature and Absolute Structures mods and FWR Lite for weapons as they present minimal change to the graphical style while changing textures

[wise peak]

I see thanks

[sweet smelt]

nooo

||the final ending is not completely satisfying. Termite escaped||

[ebon tusk]

||that is not the mod ending,they use this to shift protagonist for some strange reason and make a undercut ending,you still have 4 chapter to go||

[sweet smelt]

||talking about chapter 9 lol||

[ebon tusk]

||WolfStalker likes termite too much after chapter 6,he goes from being a side character to almost his OC at the end||

[sweet smelt]

||TS is really about how betrayal and double crossing. Back in Chapter 6, i thought Dubunin was Termite, which is obviously not the case lol||

[ebon tusk]

||Chapter 6 completely craps on Axes character by making him run away instead of having him fight,ever since cordon he is characterized by dialogue has having a strong moral compass and will to match the aggressive pace,there is literally no reason why axe wouldnt go on a revenge banger,if anything chapter 8 and 9 are proof that something was cut mid development,smth changed,remeber petrenkos pda or the psy helmet?they're never used,one wonders what was cut||

[sweet smelt]

||When Axe was mentioned in Chapter 7, i thought thr military stalker and Axe will cross paths. But damn. Axe was hanged. No justice for Yurok really. Very out of character in revengance as from chapter 1 to 5, he was very much on delivering justice.||

||Goose's death dialogue was also confusing, especially when Chrome provides a different description to Cobra. But then Goose's letter told that Cobra was a good guy to him. Very guilty i defeated Cobra without talking to him||

[ebon tusk]

||Cobra was a hard ass but he was a good guy,chrome was the friend of a real piece of work that Cobra killed,basically,Chrome's friend was a bad guy with a bad reputation,but he was Chromes brother and when Cobra killed him Chrome wanted revenge,its basically a tug of war in information,if Axe got a second opinion he'd blow the whole case wide||

[sweet smelt]

||I see, now that makes more sense||

[twin adder]

Oh hey your that guy in Norio's server, hiii :DDDD

Zone rollercoaster.

Once in a lifetime experience 💀

[reef prairie]

@ebon tusk is it normal for TS to jump from chapter 3 to chapter 5? what did i miss

[ebon tusk]

||the underground segment with the landlord is considered to be chapter 4||

[reef prairie]

||btw the mission to spy on the scientist on cordon for sid is failed on purpose or can be completed without getting spotted?||

[ebon tusk]

It should be completed and not failed,usually

[reef prairie]

got aggroed as soon as the cutscene finished

[ebon tusk]

Lol lmao

[reef prairie]

unpatched days i guess

[ebon tusk]

I finished the game in launch ver 1.0

[north pebble]

do most anomaly mods work with cop?

[ebon tusk]

they most likely dont, and won't
some may but you should assume any mod that is made for a game isnt compatible with another game

[north pebble]

ok

any cool ui mod that changes cop's ui and hud?

[dawn stirrup]

im new to stalker and wanna play SOC for the first time.. what mods do you recommend that dont change gameplay/story but fixes bugs also my pc is low spec... and also i'd like some sort of subtitles mod... and i dont know how to mod

[ebon tusk]

zone reclamation project

to mod merely open fsgame.ltx with notepad and spot the line with gamedata,and change the false to true
then paste the gamedata from the ZRP download to the root (game) folder

[dawn stirrup]

right does this also add subtitles and performance stuff?

cus i've heard that this game is pretty unstable

[ebon tusk]

ZRP is a patcher but it doesnt add subtitles
any dialogue that is important will be voiced in english and dialogue is said in prose in a dialogue box

[dawn stirrup]

okay what about models

[ebon tusk]

wdym

ZRP and youre good to go

[dawn stirrup]

the models are glitchy and wierd

[ebon tusk]

it is not recommended you go deep into modding for your first playthrus,you should really play it as vanilla as possible

[ebon tusk]

wdym,like the shadows or smth

[dawn stirrup]

no like the player models the npcs the guns

they look super wierd

[ebon tusk]

ha,thas normal,ZRP is all you need

[dawn stirrup]

also some people said i should play on hardest difficulty

[ebon tusk]

I dont understand what you mean by NPC Models tho

[dawn stirrup]

that true?

[ebon tusk]

nha you dont

[dawn stirrup]

like i mean the character models the bodies the guns the stuff you see

[ebon tusk]

if you feel its too hard bump it down if you feel its too easy bump it up

[ebon tusk]

I can guess the guns,the animations arent the best even for 2007,but I dont understand the models

[dawn stirrup]

right is there a way to fix the animations and guns without impacting performance?

[ebon tusk]

you can change but it isnt a "fix"
I would recommend to just play it like this

[dawn stirrup]

and on which difficulty?

[ebon tusk]

whatever you feel most comfortable with,you can freely bump it up or down in the options as well

[dawn stirrup]

ah right

okay thanks dude

[twin adder]

Found a working car from the camp under a cliff

"Whats your best weapon against the Zone, Experts?"

"This Lmg that Zulu gave me that can shred both enemy stalkers and mutants, even Exoskeletons stand no Chance."

"This Gauss Rifle i obtained through raiding a lab and taking it from the Notorious Monolith, it can even penetrate the armor of BTRs and MI-24s"

"What about you?"

"An old Lada i found in a forest."

[remote pike]

(don't use bug fixes like ZRP, try to experience stalker on master difficulty and if you keep dying, just lower it)

[dawn stirrup]

why not?

my pc is already super bad

[remote pike]

Stalker is a game where you either play with 1000000 mods or none

[dawn stirrup]

i think bugs will make it hell

[remote pike]

Not as buggy as you see on meme videos

[dawn stirrup]

i was thinking on adding an animations mod and guns mod

btw how many hours will i sink on avg? until i finish

[ebon tusk]

you dont play 10000 of mods in stalker

[dawn stirrup]

and is there an actual story

[ebon tusk]

[remote pike]

Yes

[remote pike]

On first playthrough you can sink into soc I think around 35

Or more

Clear sky is a bit shorter

And call of Pripyat will probably take you the longest

[dawn stirrup]

do all 3 stalkers require same system requirements?

or can i only run soc

[remote pike]

If you can run soc you can run cs

[ebon tusk]

its a 10 hours romp

[dawn stirrup]

wat about cop

[ebon tusk]

they are games from 2007-2009
any pc can play i nowadays
I woudlnt worry about it

[remote pike]

Cop won't run if you have issues with cs

[dawn stirrup]

my laptop really old

[remote pike]

How much vram you got

[dawn stirrup]

4 gb ram and intel hd 4000

or 3000

idk

[remote pike]

If you have around 200+ mb of vram you'll be able to play all 3

[dawn stirrup]

its integrated graphics

ah right

then its prolly alright

[remote pike]

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri @dawn stirrup

[dawn stirrup]

which version of zrp should i use? the experimental or the 1.07

[ebon tusk]

1.07

[indigo ledge]

@dawn stirrup theres some weapon reanimation mods

this mod changse the weapon models too, and makes them less charming/unique but there are mods that change just the animations, youll have to find them tho

[sweet smelt]

Hey

[hearty crow]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue with a mod for STALKER SOC. It's called Radiophobia 3 and my issue with it is that when I sleep, I regen or regain health, which I am not a fan of. I thought it might be an issue in actor.ltx but that doesn't seem to be the case, so I am guessing it's a script issue. Does anyone know how to remove this?

[remote pike]

Regeneration is a mechanic where as time passes, you slowly regenerate health. Since beds in mods just skip time without regen affecting you, its probably something in the files of the bed or something like that

[remote pike]

This guy knows everything

[hearty crow]

Hmm, that's possible. I figured by disabling the regular health regen function in actor.ltx that that might prevent it, but it didn't. I hope Sir Vasim can chime in.

[ebon tusk]

There are separate health regen values for when a character is sleeping and cor when he is not,either inside the actor.ltx or in the sleep script or ltx
Search those for now

[hearty crow]

Sleep script... I saw a sleep_manager script and an ogse sleep manager script. Both had entries relating to health but I didn't know what to edit.

[ebon tusk]

Easier is to just edit both and be doubly sure

My time in the ltx's has taught me that in confusion,just experiment after an edit and see if it works if it doesn't,then smth else will

[hearty crow]

No no, I mean I didn't know what lines specifically to edit. Like how exactly do I edit the script because I commented a section out in the sleep_manager and the game crashed on loading. Scripting is not something I'm familiar with, obviously 😳

[ebon tusk]

I would need to see the scripts to have an idea,it's getting late rn but if you send me the scripts I'll see them tmrw

[hearty crow]

I appreciate it. I will get them momentarily.

Here they are. I haven't a clue if these are what controls health gained from sleeping but there seem to be some entries that are related in both files, but I don't know how to edit them without causing a CTD when I load my save.

[cursive tundra]

yo

how does stalker shadow of coop work?

[ebon tusk]

since you have the files,can you get me this actorsleep.ltx file?

[remote pike]

Its very very unstable

Their server has a tutorial

But all you need is Xrmpe, shadow of coop addon (clear sky coop is out too) and radmin VPN (it's like hamachi but the servers only work with radmin from some reason)

@cursive tundra https://youtu.be/IxTO8EAQ0Ec?si=ZoWiHx_6Y_ICbesF

Also for ingame admin commands and panel you need to type in the console "ra login 1 1" (space between 1 and 1)

[ebon tusk]

ok,so I am reviewing the Sleep_Manager.script,I think I cant get it to work but its a shot in the dark so

try replacing the script while keeping a backup and try this one

see if it works

[hearty crow]

Got a crash when loading my save.

[ebon tusk]

try with this

[hearty crow]

Well, my save loaded this time but I still regained all my health.

[ebon tusk]

ok I dont have much hope for this one but try it...

[hearty crow]

No dice.

[ebon tusk]

does it run with those edits?

[hearty crow]

Yeah it does, I just still get all my health back upon waking up.

[ebon tusk]

if this doesnt work then let me see your actor.ltx

[hearty crow]

Okay, one sec

[hearty crow]

Didn't work, here's the actor.ltx.

[ebon tusk]

ok,I dont think you can turn it off since its tied to health regeneration when not sleeping,I dunno sorry I couldnt help

[hearty crow]

No worries. Thanks for trying.

If anyone else thinks they can help and succeeds I will PayPal you some cash

[latent nebula]

Is True Stalker mod made by ruzzians?

[ancient wind]

yeah

it's awesome

[latent nebula]

Ew

[ancient wind]

True Stalker is really good

better than anomaly

[latent nebula]

I had hopes it might have been made by a Ukranian or Polish team

[ancient wind]

still has issues with economy

[latent nebula]

Since ruzzians made it, giving it a big skip

[ancient wind]

but it gets fun quick

[ancient wind]

you're missing out

unique modpack

[ebon tusk]

its basically a new game

its quite mid tho still fun

[latent nebula]

I am not missing out, don't worry. I've been boycotting everything ruzzian for years and am happier than ever. There are plenty of other mods to play, plus vanilla

[ebon tusk]

just play Wind of Time

[ancient wind]

yeah

[ancient wind]

man i bet they're terrified of you!

look at what your lack of russian purchases does to their country....

[latent nebula]

Man cmon :/

[ancient wind]

you cmon

certified chud

[latent nebula]

Whatever

I'm not having this convo again

But thanks for the info at least

I almost downloaded it since the desc says "eastern team" had hopes it was not ruzzian

[ancient wind]

you started it

True Stalker is awesome

[latent nebula]

Vanilla is awesome

It has a story written by actual humans and gameplay design made with fully functioning hands

[ebon tusk]

I dont see a reason why you would compare mods to the games

these are different products borne from their own creativity and creators

[latent nebula]

Fair enough

[ancient wind]

teue

very different from vanilla not comparable

[latent nebula]

I do like mods, just unfortunately like 90% of them are ruzzian made :/

Wish there were more western modmakers

[ancient wind]

its like the majority of the stalker community is russian or something

curious

[ebon tusk]

tbf we dont need more mods where you play as mercs doing a misterious job

[latent nebula]

That will soon change

[ancient wind]

westerners make mil sim larp packs

[latent nebula]

I mean Anomaly is fine, just wish it had a story

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly aint made by westerners btw

[ancient wind]

it does and it's bad

[latent nebula]

But it's not made by ruzzians??? Right???

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly is a stripped down CoC Modpack with an outdated x64 engine

[ebon tusk]

you assume I know the nationality of every modder,but they aren't westerners no

[latent nebula]

Fair enough

But ffs I thought we had at least something made not there

[ebon tusk]

can always check their VK and their Discord Server

there is a mod made by a french guy I know

I heard its good

kinda experimental

https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-journey

[hidden crescent]

That would mean attempting to confront the possibility that there could be russians on the team

That might be too much for him

[latent nebula]

Thanks, I'll check it out!

[ancient wind]

russians terrify him

[exotic wolf]

It’s only there to prove that a story could be implemented it was never the focus of the game

[ebon tusk]

there already was a story in CoC and it was better by mere fact it was less bad,it wasnt good

[steady cloak]

what's the hardware requirement for the "True Stalker" modpack?

[ebon tusk]

it is a mod,singular,and it is posted in the website that hosts it

[steady cloak]

ye my bad

I'm hella stupid cause I cant find the hardware requirement for the mod on the moddb page

[ebon tusk]

APPRO is the website that hosts True Stalker,but Ill just help you out

place on disk is how much it weights and operation help is ram

[steady cloak]

thanks man

[remote pike]

I can't play stalker games on dx9 xdd

Or above

[lunar trail]

Does anyone know whether the xrmpe co-op mod also allows you to play with friends on Clear Sky or Call of Pripyat?

[remote pike]

Clear sky coop is out, cop not

But it's separate from shadow of coop

[lunar trail]

Do you have a link to the Clear Sky coop mod, would really appreciate that

[remote pike]

I can't find it rn on Google but you might be able to find it on shadow of coop or xrmpe server

[gentle salmon]

Anyone with experience with animation files for weapon HUDs? I have a feeling the mods I am downloading have some hidden files with the prefix [lancew_} that I cannot locate to move across mods.

[remote pike]

Ask sir vasim, hes the mod specialist here

[ebon tusk]

rammaken is your best bet,Im a dud when it comes to modeling and such

[gentle salmon]

To C-Con I go, just need to wait for Venezuela to wake up.

[rigid flax]

Gladly I don't live 5 months ago to see this

[lunar trail]

can someone ping vadim the mod expert for this, I can't seem to find a link for the clear sky co-op mod

is the mod even english or is it ukrainian

[ebon tusk]

the only coop I know is for SoC not CS

its a thing but no english version
its on appro just search APPRO Clear COOP

[ebon tusk]

its in russian
I am not translating this,it uses Gunslinger

[lunar trail]

oh okay

[remote pike]

Full English

Or partially

Don't remember well

[ebon tusk]

still uses Gunslinger

blegh

disgusting

absolutely unplyable

[lunar trail]

Still cant seem to find it

[lunar trail]

Does anyone know how you can save in the SoC co-op mod?

[remote pike]

Save what exactly

Coop functions different

[lunar trail]

the game

[remote pike]

On coop, inventory only saves when you finish a level

So basically every time you wanna play again, you have to start the level again

And via admin panel you can skip to that level where you left off (you'll be put at the start of the said level) instead of having to start over at the cordon

[jaunty thistle]

Is True Stalker any good?

[ebon tusk]

It's mid but fun

[neon socket]

Went super linear

makes you wonder what they did for the past 4 years

[ebon tusk]

its a long story mod with CoP roots
its not a Jekan mod nor a SoC Global Mod

[neon socket]

If I was developing the mod, I'd write the scenario in a month, then spend 3 years wrestling the X-Ray engine and then give up

AP-PRO team was just doing it wrong

[ebon tusk]

also you can cleearly see that it was WILDLY rushed at the end for,some reason

but,its still a fun romp so

[lone ocean]

so true i had the same feeling

[ebon tusk]

just not taht great in quality and meat

[neon socket]

It's not rushed, more like just that they wanted to make a multi-character story and then just didn't know what to do. But the finale was pretty messy

The mod is just too good for it to be rushed, I'd just say it was sloppy writing

I'm also positive that some stuff was cut.

Wait no I think it may actually have been rushed because the moddb article only got a proper translation and not some machine translated features list some 6 hours after release

Though that doesn't line up with the release countdown being made public... hm...

[ebon tusk]

no no,it def is
||take tachenkos PDA for example,its used for nothing and does nothing,and Chapter's 8 happenings,everything that happens to the new character and his actions,wouldve been like,pretty much the perfect reason||
||imagine,Axe is characterized as a take no shit headstrong person with strong morals,after Yuroks Death he tries to attack Termite but fails,he goes to Sidorovich and explains (sidorovich talks to him after Axe talks to Dubinin but it goes nowhere),Sidorovich slots Axe in with the Military Stalkers bc the interests align,the Military Stalker Leader is distrastful and an hardass with Axe due to his origins,the trial at rostok would be a perfect way to judge Axe's character up to then and in Army Warehouses it is typical axe shenanigans,everything just,lines up for Axe to be the guy who does it,and for him to murder termite and achieve revenge,why they chose the road they did is,baffling,I dont understand||

[neon socket]

First one was either cut content or an easter egg, second was sloppy writing because they wanted to do multi character storyline

[lunar trail]

@ebon tusk do u know how I can pass the anomaly in that small corner, its like very fast

[ebon tusk]

didnt get to that part of the story yet funnily enuff
but you can try to check eastern playthrus there are a ton of them

[ionic berry]

yo guys i'm refreshing entire stalker lore so i just finished SoC and CS so i'm installing right nao CoP

and i'm looking for proper mod to enchance the gameplay

but dont flip it upside down

nor make it dying simulator (so no to misery)

[ebon tusk]

SoC-ZRP,FWR Lite,and CrommCruacs Absolute Nature and Flora
CS-CGIM2
CoP-CGIM2

[ionic berry]

i allready finished SoC and CS

[ebon tusk]

ho,then CGIM2 for CoP

[ionic berry]

yeah but it only changes weather

i was looking for overal improvement

[ebon tusk]

I dont know if FWR works with it

[ionic berry]

FWR?

[ebon tusk]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/fwr-cop-edition

[ionic berry]

ye found it allready

hmm

these both could be usefull

[ebon tusk]

if you want a new experience instead of a refresh I guess SGM2.2,I never tired it tho so I cant say if it is good or not
but that is more of a Global Mod not a refresh

[ionic berry]

cant see it on Mdb

naah seems too much

i'm planning on returning to Anomaly after finishing the trilogy anyway

[ebon tusk]

then CGIM2 with FWR CoP

[scarlet pumice]

It genuinely blows my mind to hear people say this mod should be the new standard for STALKER modding

[neat dune]

morehouse928 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[scarlet pumice]

like its fun but man does it have some serious flaws

[ebon tusk]

many ppl merely havent played a lot of stalker mods,but OXR will become a standard I believe

TS?no,it does custom edits to OXR so it cant really be a "base" like some ppl believe

[reef prairie]

@ebon tusk started the freedom area in TS and still havent seen the top most left and right maps, can you confirm that they will be revealed from game progression?

[ebon tusk]

Army Warehouses is the last map of the mod

[odd rock]

Isn't true stalker made by the youtuber who's called ' TheWolfstalker2 ' ?????

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

This dude

I don't understand Russian but I think he is the original creator of the mod

I don't remember where i've seen it

tho

[indigo ledge]

anomaly and its consequences 😰

[ebon tusk]

is he a robot?

[indigo ledge]

congrats

[spare mantle]

@neon socket have you tried looking up for another ending

yeah bro

it appears after the x16 lab

the alternative ending route

no

quest route

it unlocks another ending

let's go to #💬┃en_offtop

[indigo ledge]

im not telling you

i dont want to

so what

what are you gonna do about it

[neon socket]

[indigo ledge]

[rough jetty]

In the future True Stalker get Multiplayer i just now see in localization files 👀

[ruby citrus]

[ebon tusk]

that is placeholder for the original games menu

[rough jetty]

Oh sad

[elfin viper]

[rough jetty]

[velvet trail]

Hello i got a problem where the xRcore cause a BreakPoint on the startup of the game, this only occurs when i try to mod the game (rn im using the XpressTuning). And btw im trying to play SoC(gog version)

i tried reinstalling multiple times but didn't work

im new to the modding and stalker in general, but i just wanted to play a vanilla game but with some QoL modification, so idk if someone can help i would be so happy

[ebon tusk]

what did you install

[velvet trail]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/xpresstunings-remaster-edition/downloads/xpresstunings-remaster-ultimate-edition this

[ebon tusk]

this error is not descriptive
once you get it again show me a image

[velvet trail]

This is the error

Idk if you mean this

[ebon tusk]

click information

[ebon tusk]

copy whats in enviroment tables

send me in my DMs

[ebon tusk]

right I assume that this modpack was broken in a new update
my recommendation is to install bare ZRP and play the game with it only

[velvet trail]

Ok, do you have any other mod recommendations for a better vanilla expirence

[ebon tusk]

for first time experiences its rrecommended just ZRP

[velvet trail]

Ok thank you for your time

[rough jetty]

Any fix for ǍǍǍǍ letters?

I wanna use ÉÁŰÚŐÜÓÍ letters

[ebon tusk]

little info I have on localizations in OGSR Engine is that you need to manually add such words to the localization image files so that they cxan be called upon,but youd also need to change encoding as far as I know,dont think Widnows1251 has those

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : error handler is invoked!

also I checked on reddit and didnt see anyone with this issue
pls help thx

[errant cypress]

"out of memory"

not enough ram maybe

[sick coyote]

I was checking ram while running the game and I was using 11gb on 16 gb of ram

so it couldnt be that I think

[errant cypress]

weird

[fiery fulcrum]

Had a similar problem whilst playing nlc. I just moved all the saves to another file and reinstalled the game completely

Worked for me

[sick coyote]

alright thanks ill try that out

[fiery fulcrum]

Hope it works

[shadow torrent]

Huhu LOL

[sick coyote]

alright it still doesnt work

i dont get it

I extracted the zip to a folder and then overwrote all the patches on top

[sick coyote]

im through with this

would be cool if someone made a video on the installation process because im sure im just missing something

[pine pivot]

For anyone possibly familiar with the True Stalker mod, I've been experiencing issues with keeping my save files as I have not been able to make quicksaves, hardsaves through menu or console.

I'm not sure if this was a known issue with Stalker CS or with the mod itself, but I can't find any fixes for it and everyone around me has not had any problems playing it.

[sick coyote]

maybe run your game as administrator

if that doesnt work then im not sure myself

[ebon tusk]

you probably installed the mod in a folder with admnistrator rights
run the game as an administrator or move the game folder to a folder that isnt protected

[ancient wind]

running the game on your C: drive causes issues, i've noticed. if you have a second or external drive, try moving it to that

i have mine on my external where i play my weird games and stalker mods on

[remote pike]

@ebon tusk help this man install nlc7

[ebon tusk]

did you install any of the texture mods?

[errant cypress]

You're asking the wrong guy

[errant cypress]

.

[ebon tusk]

damn

[ebon tusk]

@sick coyote

[sick coyote]

no

[ebon tusk]

which NLC did you install

[sick coyote]

I dont think I installed anything called "nlc"

thats probably the issue then

[ebon tusk]

what are you torubleshooting

somebody told me you were trynna run NLC7

[sick coyote]

no I was trying to run radiophobia 3

and then it crashed and gave me a log

[ebon tusk]

I have never seen or played Radiophobia 3

I know Radiophobia 2,I know its bad

[sick coyote]

oh okey

it seems im the only one with this issue that ive seen so far

[sick coyote]

why nlc7

[ebon tusk]

bc I like that game,its good

I cant believe Hideo Kojima stole NLC7 and released it...

[sick coyote]

yea but that wasnt my issue so idk why the guy reccomended nlc7
is it bc its similar to radiophobia 3?

ima check rn

[ebon tusk]

no

NLC7 is good

[sick coyote]

okey

btw wltr was so incredibly difficult to find the file for
just a little rant

[wanton pagoda]

I got a question for reshade for anomaly, do you just click on the launcher when the ReShade wizard asks you to find a game?

I haven't downloaded it in a long time and it seems like the zip file is no longer available

nevermind I got it

[sick coyote]

how do I get NLC7 english translation

[ebon tusk]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/nlc7-build-30-he-23-keatsys-repack
Old Tl 2 years behind
new patch is in the works currently being playtested,prob out in a week or 2

[sick coyote]

🙂

[carmine locust]

hey guys... wtf is going on? @inland pasture

[undone goblet]

I'm looking for the preferred Clear Sky overhauls

Already beat all three in vanilla, so no worries about the true experience of things

Just got through Memories of the Zone for SoC

Some video says to slap on ABR

[ebon tusk]

I would not recommend any ABR mod as they are quite possibly some of the worst mods I have ever seen

But man,they sure are cooky

[undone goblet]

I'll keep looking then

[ebon tusk]

I'd say CGIM2 Ans pair it with a Weapon Pack if you want
I haven't really tried if CGIM2 is compatible with FWR or AO3

[undone goblet]

Mkay, checking it out

[fringe marsh]

Really disappointed about the OpenXray engine situation.
GSC, please answer to their creators

[ebon tusk]

They already did
It wasn't GSC that filed the DMCA

[fringe marsh]

I'm talking not about the public message on Twitter.
OpenXray's creator has now asked GSC a lot of questions about future licensing

[ebon tusk]

GSC has protected a lot of creators who used their assets in other cases were takedowns were false,they haven't had any issues with OXR and any standalone mod or engine modification
I can't see them starting to strike them now that many years have passed

[fringe marsh]

So it happened.
Nobody wants this to happen again. That's why they want to discuss

[ebon tusk]

that was what I said,I don't really understand why you show me this

[neon socket]

i wanna play clear sky is there any mod i should download before starting

[dim cloud]

theres uhh SBR

.

it completely froze when i pressed the Install/Update GAMMA for the first time
its been like this for atleast 20 minutes, even the page is frozen so like i cannot touch anything on the page. I can't even close the page by pressing X at the right top.

[ebon tusk]

it is best to ask in the GAMMA server this kind of question

[dim cloud]

i did but the GAMMA support is kinda dead, they're ignoring people sadly

[ebon tusk]

lol
lmao

I dunno try launching with admin rights

[keen summit]

i installed photo of a loved one, did all the things and it dosent show in gmae

dont i need to replace the base image with the one ive made?

[left plover]

Restart the application with admin, your computer might be really slow to download, make sure you only have the first 3 checked off

You also need to hit “First Install Initilization” before hitting the “install/update gamma” button

[rose plover]

Are you running it as administrator

[dim cloud]

Yes

[dim cloud]

Alr ill try

[dim cloud]

didnt work

[remote pike]

#en_gamma_support

[dim cloud]

what

[dim cloud]

where is it?

[remote pike]

It's a joke

We here are basically support for anomaly and gamma since they don't help their players

[dim cloud]

btw

this is the error code

@remote pike @left plover @rose plover

"fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository"

[ebon tusk]

you are not allowed in the git due to not being a collaborator in this repo

[dim cloud]

it means this? @ebon tusk

[dim cloud]

what does repo mean

[ebon tusk]

I am not qualified to troubleshoot GAMMA issues

[ebon tusk]

a repository is a Git file that is used to keep projects synced in a server thru various versions and various computers and users

it is developer stuff

[left plover]

Reinstall, make absolute sure you run everything with admin

[gentle salmon]

Alternatively, might be a good time to try other Stalker mods.

[sick coyote]

true

[left plover]

Let the guy play gamma

Gamma has always been the most fun mod for me, despite true stalker, lost alpha, CoC, etc

[remote pike]

Bro only plays mainstream

[left plover]

Something wrong with that?

[ebon tusk]

personal recomendation
Calm after the Storm
great short story mod for sight seeing,weak story

its like 2-3 hours

[left plover]

I’ll check it out

[remote pike]

Yes, you're excited over copper in a gold mine

But those other mods u mentioned are good too

[remote pike]

Some really nice stuff once you start digging

[left plover]

Yeah that’s what a lot of ultra purists tell me

[remote pike]

You don't even have to play nlc7 to see what beauties it holds, loading screens are amazing

[ebon tusk]

how can they be purists f they recommend mods?

[left plover]

It just seems that people hate on anomaly for no reason, make people feel bad for playing it

Sure, it may receive more publicity than arguably better mods, that doesn’t mean people can’t enjoy it, nor does it mean that it is the worst mod ever

It just means people need more input

More mods to play

I like that you gave me a mod to play, I don’t like that people will be like “Anomaly sucks!” Then give no other examples of quote unquote “better mods”

So essentially, I am broadening “purist” into essentially “conservative” or the familiarity bias

To water it down, please don’t bully people for playing anomaly, recommend other mods and the way to download them

[covert sundial]

is living legend the end quest line in stalker anomoly

[left plover]

No

There’s two more

One with Sin, one with ISG

[covert sundial]

sin? isg?

[ebon tusk]

there really isnt much to be angry about its just a very very mediocre CoC Fork stripped down

there are many other forks that are more interesting

I dont understand forking last day and removing everything it did tho...

I know last day was bad but at least stick to your guns

[gentle salmon]

Goldsphere
NLC
Road to the North
OP2
Call of the Zone
The Dreamcatcher
Legend Returns
Dollchan

Most are story-based mods, some freeplay. Each have some unique content you won't see in Anomaly or its derivatives, be it unique stories, better side quests, or simpler mechanics that are easy to understand.

[left plover]

Thank you

I what are some of the free play mods?

[ebon tusk]

Legend Returns is CoC but with custom stories for each faction
COTZ is a CoC freeplay fork with all DoctorX's mods integrated
Stasons CoC is a interesting pick
Global War is an insane Warfare mod

[gentle salmon]

CotZ has improved DoctorX's mods as he himself developed CotZ. If you are familiar with Anomaly's/CoC's base DoctorX's Quests, CotZ has them much more expansive and improved.

At the moment, they're unique and exclusive to CotZ. No one has been able to port his improvements to other mods as of now.

(It's the only mod I know a good bit about. Don't ask me about Road to the North, but that one I see great reviews on.)

[left plover]

You a legend dawg

thanks

[ebon tusk]

if you want more hit me up

[left plover]

Cut factions from STALKER

[covert sundial]

oh alr

[left plover]

ISG is the UN in the zone, obviously under the guise of ISG bc they would be breaking international law

Sin is basically monolith but they’re mutants

And intelligent

And don’t worship a rock

To describe “mutant” they look zombified and have a mutilated face, sometimes with no eyes

They’re cruel and wear a dark trench coat

Their alternate name is “dark stalkers”

[ebon tusk]

keep in mind anything in Anomaly that is Sin or ISG related is fan fiction and not cannon

[left plover]

Yes

They’re cut factions, so very little canon lore exists of them. Other than dialogue, concept art, and descriptions

[ebon tusk]

like,Sin at least its based on smth?despite its story being complete fan fic
UNISG is a complete and utter fabrication made up by Anomaly

ISG was never meant to be a faction

[jaunty thistle]

I thought ISG came from an outfit texture's file name.

Oh it's a cut faction from Clear Sky

Related to the Generators map

[ebon tusk]

The segment wherein ISG comes from was a scrapped early early early concept of a game cutscene where Scar was guiding a group of scientists,they had ISG on their uniforms,this was scrapped as quickly as it was concerted and nothing aside from that was concepted

[jaunty thistle]

Ok but that's not what you said heh

[ebon tusk]

from the leaks,we have a texture,and we know it was a squad
That is it
They aren't a faction neither are they mercs

They were a group of scientists being guided by scar

UNISG is a complete fabrication made by the Anomaly Devs which is completely fine

It's a new story

Altho I have gotten ppl telling me before that,UNISG was cannon and it is cut content which,no,it's not

[jaunty thistle]

But you literally jsut said how it is cut content

Anomaly added a bunch to it

[ebon tusk]

ISG is cut content
UNISG isn't
UNSIG are a branch of the UN doing special secret military operations behind the borders of the zone
It is complete fan fic

BC for ISG
We didn't know their objective of anything about them

We know they were a squad and their name from their texture

That is where their lore ends

ISG isn't UNISG BC ISG doesn't have enuff cut lore to be made into a faction,the developers of anomaly completely fabricated an entirely new faction and made them use models based on the old cut ISG textures

UNISG isn't cut content BC it's an entirely new thing made by them

[jaunty thistle]

based on cut content

[ebon tusk]

Lmao

[foggy delta]

Design documents for Anarchy Cell say they were meant to be included, later that storyline was scrapped, enter Clear Sky. ISG model files in the Clear Sky.
https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/International_Scientific_Group

[ebon tusk]

complete speculation on the writers part
UN does make appearances on text but nothing is said to be linked to ISG as they are not cannon to begin with and are only in the Clear Sky cut opening cutscene
like I said
what you posted doesnt even contradict what I said it just confirms it

[remote pike]

Anomalys UNISG is inspired by ISG

Not cannon

Both arent

[foggy delta]

storyline was scrapped in favour of the Clear Sky we got

[ebon tusk]

its not even inspired

it merely uses their textures as a base

its like putting the plank of an old ship in your new ship and claiming that thsi new ship is based in the old one

taht is still your new ship

[foggy delta]

As of the current moment of our knowledge ISG isn't considered cannon by GSC.

[ebon tusk]

UNISG is made up entirely of new content and lore by the anomaly devs and thus they are their creators

I can make a new faction called hunters and give them clear sky equipment,doesnt really mean they are based off of clear sky in and of itself

[foggy delta]

Only cut content that is confirmed to be coming back, as I'm aware, is the cat mutant for S2. Supposedly the Generators based on a loading screen representing the old Generator map layout said by Dugout... Who knows else might make an appearance that we didn't see in the originals. They are probably redesigning parts of the map and other things to fit into their original vision of the stalker world should be layed out that they couldn't achieve in the old Xray engine and the time they were given.

[ebon tusk]

I can give an educated guess S2 wont expand on ISG but it really is only specualtion on my part

we have SIIRCA and Ward

[foggy delta]

I would assume they won't expand on it yeah. Be bit out of left field as they say. We have 2 new factions already with those two.

[ebon tusk]

and bc judging from the trailers and the revealed details on SIIRCA and Ward,we can assume that the new game will be more about Monolith and their "heirs" as a concept more

[foggy delta]

revealed details on SIIRCA and Ward?
It'll be neat for sure how Monolith will be treated in S2 since the some of them are waking up and losing faith. Although some will remain loyal as it's all they know now.

[ebon tusk]

the cypher shows us smth from SIIRCA
not a lot,but it is a start

[jaunty thistle]

The Noosphere stuff implies that they are making the lie real simply by believing in it

[ebon tusk]

the Noosphere works like that but I more so believe that the thoughts of many are what shapes the zone
(HEADCANNON) what I think is happening is a melding of what the outside thinks of the zone and what is actually happening inside of the zone,the perception the outside has about the zone being a mutated and awful place teeming with danger and mysterious plots left and right is a result from the perception of the outside world,which is exarcebated by the stalkers living in it,since we already know that the Zone reacts actively to your intentions to it,as is proven by Freedom in CS when they say some "Hermits" are known to go into the zone with no weapon and come back unscathed and with a new path never being eaten or torn apart by anomaly
