That not what i asked. Why you want Anomaly visual for SoC ?

[near osprey]

ohhh

because i think anomaly visuals look better than SOC and i want it’s visuals on SOC

[wind scaffold]

Hate anomaly, so i dont agree with you on that. Try Autumn Aurora or photorealistic zone.

[near osprey]

what is autumn aurora? is it just a visual upgrade or does it change the game alot like anomaly?

[ebon tusk]

Autumn Aurora is a total conversion mod that heavely changes gameplay

there are no mods that change visuals to become like anomaly

[near osprey]

damn

what are the changes?

[ebon tusk]

complete revamped gameplay to try and captrue a more bleak and survival zone

[near osprey]

actually are either of those ZRP compatible

[ebon tusk]

AA2.1 has ZRP integrated while Photorealistic Zone is compatible with any mod that doesnt change textures

[near osprey]

oh

so can i drag either of those into my gamedata folder and just play

wait is autumn aurora just basically anomaly's gameplay with SOC's story or

[ebon tusk]

yhea but I wouldnt recommend Photorealistic Zone considering how messy it is and how little worth it it is
from the 800mbs less than 100mbs are actually new textures and the rest are minimal changes that have no bearing on looks or the same texture

[ebon tusk]

no

AA2.1 gameplay is actually good

[near osprey]

zamn!

whats wrong with anomaly's gameplay

[ebon tusk]

but if this is your first playthru like I said before you should be keeping it as vanilla as possible,if you really want better textures get CrommCruacs Absolute flora and Absolute Structures

[near osprey]

can i drag aa2.1 into my gamedata folder and then play? only mods i have is zrp, closed captions, and a weapon model overhaul mod

[ebon tusk]

AA2.1 is installed with a installer,it is supposed to be installed in a game that is completely vanilla,the game is not comaptible with weapon model overhaul nor closed captions and it already has ZRP ointegrated so having it and installing AA2.1 is gonna lead to problems

[near osprey]

ah

hm

[hearty lake]

This mod has great weapon animations. There is a way to add it to vanilla?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-curved-road

[ebon tusk]

select the models and textures and sounds from the curved road mod and transplant them to SoC,then change the weapons LTX to use the models

[hearty lake]

And that's it? I thought there would be some compatibility issues. Great, thanks 😉

[ebon tusk]

if the mod is running a vanilla version of the engine then the models should work,if its using OGSR,then youre gonna need to adapt the models and animations to SoC thru blender

[near osprey]

is there a mod that makes the bullet trajectory not like completely rng based

[hearty lake]

@ebon tusk Thanks for info

[remote pike]

Nope, some mods like winter edition for soc add sway and less rng but it's not really better

[near osprey]

damn

wait whats winter edition'

[ebon tusk]

winter edition is a mod that changes SoC to be set in the winter and adds some other shit Im p sure

[near osprey]

is there a mod for SOC that lets me put shotguns or SMGs in the pistol slot?

[wind scaffold]

Autumn Aurora makes shooting better, so it feels like your shoots less random, but i think its just add more damage, so when in original bandits needs 5-6 shoots, in AA they go down in 1-2. It makes some situation worth. Like when you go to junkyard and bandits try to rob newbie, its hard to save him, cause 2-3 bullets and he is dead. Same for defend transport junkyard. Bullets in this mod are too deadly for that friendly npc.

[near osprey]

i dont really like my current SOC weapon model overhaul mod, can anyone reccomend a good one?

[wind scaffold]

OWR 3

[near osprey]

thats the one i’m using rn, it’s ok but i’d like a better one

[wind scaffold]

...

[wind scaffold]

STSoC Weapon Pack.

[wind scaffold]

New Arsenal

[ebon tusk]

New Arsenal is a Full Modification not a weapon pack

[rich knot]

SoC weapons pack

[wind scaffold]

Isnt STSoC and SoC weapons pack are the same pack ?

[rich knot]

Idk

Probably

[near osprey]

could you provide a link? i can't find this mod

oh wait

i can find it

but all the downloads are in russian

i don't speak russian

oh i translated it

this is a weapon pack

i'm looking more for mods that change the default weapon models

[rich knot]

Owr3

[near osprey]

thats what i'm using now but i dont really like some of the designs

[rich knot]

That's like the only reanimation mod for SoC, IRC

[near osprey]

dang

[wind scaffold]

Just pick one and play. It can continue forever.

[wind scaffold]

Hallo, i have corrupted saves when played GoldenSphere. I have log, but how to find what cause this corruption ?

[cinder oxide]

I didn't believe the True Stalker hate when I first played it

but I see it now😢

Still a 6.5/10

the remaining 3.5 is a very frustrating 3.5

but the 6.5 is, overall, pretty good

I'm sure my rating will change once I play more mods lol

for better or for worse

At the end of the day, it is a free mod

and high quality at that

can't really complain for that price I suppose

I kinda can actually

Since the game falls off later on, you spent all those hours in the earlier half for nothing almost lol

[shrewd maple]

Enjoying the crap out of it

[near osprey]

dunno if this is the right channel, but does anyone know why item animations in anomaly arent working?

whenever i use an item i just hold nothing for a few seconds while the view sways

like if i use a stimpak i dont see the stimpak or my hand or anything but my view bobs and my hands are emptied as if i am

[wind scaffold]

In pinned messages there a official Anomaly Discord channel.

[near osprey]

oh

[velvet isle]

(SoC) Installed Absolute HD 2023 v1.4, I land on the menu, start a new game then CTD. Here's my crash log, thanks for helping me

[upbeat coral]

the mod has none

its that simple

[near osprey]

yeah i found out why, item usage animations are like a free dlc for some reason

[upbeat coral]

Not really

Its just that devs didnt make them

fans did

just like with all good content for Anomaly

[near osprey]

true

[wind scaffold]

Im playing Golden Ball and start watch in console to see that "Save successfully, object saved successfully.". If i see this, then my saves is not corrupted ?

[autumn dawn]

in anomaly do anyone know if grok stash overhaul conflic with the exosuit different animation ? cause i keep getting shader compilation failed when the 2 run together , only after i turn off the exo animation mod that the game stop having the error but im worry now that it gonna fail again next day

[upbeat coral]

In Anomaly anything Grok has touched conflicts with anything he hasnt touched

Also

Anomaly menioned

Grrrr

:(

Play Spatial Anomaly

Its better

Frfr trust me bro

I would NEVER lie

NEVEEEEER

[ebon tusk]

you jus mad cuz all the bitches choose the Anomaly Chad instead of the Spatial Anomlay loser

[upbeat coral]

Ur right Jannie :(

I got my PP stuck in Spatial Anomaly and now no girl wants me 😭

[wind scaffold]

You now Spartial Anomaly Shill.

[upbeat coral]

Nah

Thats nt fun

Shilling over janky mods is better

plus GoldSphere has special place in my heart

[wind scaffold]

Truly junky. Got corrupted saves on junkyard.

[upbeat coral]

Thats how Goldsphere city works 😎

But you definitely SHOULD play Spatial Anomaly

Its 10/10 short story mod

[wind scaffold]

Hard to disagree. But mod still good and give me new experience.

[wind scaffold]

I will.

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere is very special mod, both in the good and bad way

[wind scaffold]

Also, is Golden Ball canon to original stalker trilogy ?

[upbeat coral]

No mod is canon. But goldsphere is written so its events lead to the OG trilogy

[wind scaffold]

There more good ways i see in it. It also have funny easter eggs and reference to russian youtubers, singers and memes.

[wind scaffold]

Good to know.

[upbeat coral]

Yeah, and also photos of dead people

Best part about Goldsphere xd

[wind scaffold]

Why ? I dont understand it even if i pressed it.

[spice juniper]

Hello, does anyone know about this problem? Im pretty new about modding anomaly

[wind scaffold]

There is official Anomaly Server in pinned messages. Go there and ask. It would be better.

[spice juniper]

Oh ok thx

[upbeat coral]

You got the Doll?

[upbeat coral]

Step 1.
Dont play Anomaly
Step 2.
:)

[wind scaffold]

Yes. If i remember correctly then he is fan of old Germany. Right ?

[upbeat coral]

yes

[remote pike]

@ebon tusk probably would be a good idea to pin graphical mods

Since it's a common question

[ebon tusk]

vanilla

[wild rock]

So I want to download Dollchan 8:Infinity(yeah Ik ik I'm a weeb) and how do I do that ?

Do I need Mod Organizer 2 or can It be downloaded somewhere online ?

[wind scaffold]

Like any other mod. Go on moddb there is a english translation there and installation guide.

[wild rock]

Thank you1

Does this also apply to mods like Narodnaya Solyanka and NLC7 ?

[wind scaffold]

I dont download this. You can see installation guide to any mod this days, i think.

[wild rock]

Thank you again

[upbeat coral]

when I go down into X7 lab to rescue Savage, the door in the flooded vehicle tunnel is half open and I can't squeeze through. I watched a couple of playthroughs and in them the door was open

did I do something wrong?

[remote pike]

Maybe it's glitched or being blocked

You'll probably get more answers here with complex/specific questions

Wait you want an update?
How about the update on the "rent free in head" situation?

[rich knot]

[upbeat coral]

Yeah... Yep

Totally undeserved

Hey I wanna play stalker but I don't want to keep playing all this modern stuff, anyone got any suggestions for mods that are similar to oblivion lost but keep the aspect of picking a faction in your own story?

[wind scaffold]

Legend Returns.

[wind scaffold]

Try some story mods too.

[civic nacelle]

Gays how to fix this shit?
Im try to play ANOMALY EXPEDITION

[karmic igloo]

It is true, we are all gays around here but you should ask on the Anomaly server instead

[rich knot]

CoC if you want the og stalker but improved

[upbeat coral]

Legend Returns or Road to the North

Its a bit hardcore but the story is good and you have different approaches to each quest and different nonlinear questline too

Cant recommend it enough

Also Id recommend trying some mods where you dont choose faction. Its always better to have well written story made to suit the faction than a universal one

[upbeat coral]

Hello

Im here about your daily reminder to play Goldsphere

In my humble opinion the single best mod ever

Bestest mod ever

[solemn anchor]

hello Zoners

you should also try out Return to the Zone

it is made by the same author

and is canonically after the goldsphere story, giving homage to it too!

In my humble opinion the single best mod ever

I have question. In golden ball first weapon you get is homemade pistol. I like it. I like that you can make ammo for it and how balanced it is. So question: Is this one of its kind or do we have another homemade weapons in Golden BALLS ?

[upbeat coral]

One of a kind

[wind scaffold]

Truly...

[upbeat coral]

Best mod frfr

except its not

But I will keep pretending it is

Because its the only shill worthy mod

[wind scaffold]

One of the best.

But its sad that game dont have another homemade weapons. Like shotgun, or maybe rifle. Or just that pistol but with a scope.

Is it hard to modify game to be able to instal scopes on weapon that cant have scopes ?

[upbeat coral]

Its ass to do that

0/10

Would scope again

[wind scaffold]

Why ?

[upbeat coral]

You have to align everything using configs

Anyone got some good story mods to recommend? Be aware tho I played most of the popular stuff already

[rich knot]

Winter sniper

Or play narodnaya soljanka

Or OP 2.2

Or stalker soup

Or play op 2

[rich knot]

Fotograp

Or priboi story

[wind scaffold]

F.o.t.o.g.r.a.f. if you tried to say it in russian.

[wind scaffold]

But it possible to make ? I just thought that you said its bad thing to do, like play anomaly, because of "Ass", or that mean that its "hard to do" ?

[upbeat coral]

Ass to do means stupidly unfun and long process

Nobody wants to do that

[wind scaffold]

I am Nobody. Who are you ?

[upbeat coral]

Hi nobody

Im dad

Damn I do love dad jokes

Its the lowest form of humor but damn

Is it good

[wind scaffold]

But if i want to do that, its possible to modify game so it would be possible attach scopes to pistol ? Googling i dont find any picture nor mod that do it.

[upbeat coral]

It is

But its annoying to do

[wind scaffold]

There is also fart humor. Dont know how high or low it.

[wind scaffold]

Where i can get guide for how to make it ?

[upbeat coral]

Thats the oldest form of humor

It only became classier over the time

[upbeat coral]

On youtube I guess

Or you can ask modders here

Could you help me formulate the question to search it ? I just dont know how to write this right.

I'm gonna play RttZ, Spatial Anomaly, and maybe Dreamcatcher

Then Goldsphere

Since its such a long mod

Dreamcatcher I'm not so sure on

I didn't love some parts of Incubator

Hoping the dev didn't insert pseudo-anime girls this time

where in one of the dialogues she wants to run away with you and live together outside of the zone something something

weird ahh plotpoint

Knowing my playstyle, Goldsphere will take something like 70 hours from what I've heard

Generally I take it slow and loot everything

Explore what I can

hunt for artifacts

[wind scaffold]

I recommend you to start with OGSR version. Original is GOLD, but i can corrupt saves.

[wind scaffold]

There also pile of good quests, easter eggs for russian auditory and stashes with good equipment.

[cinder oxide]

That was the plan

[cinder oxide]

I speak and understand Russian but probably not well enough to pick up on the Easter eggs

[wind scaffold]

Can understand. Its more about youtubers, 2ch and similar things,

[cinder oxide]

Don't know any Russian youtubers lol

[wind scaffold]

And mod contains easter eggs for old ones.

[cinder oxide]

I'll have to see it ig

[upbeat coral]

Play Incubator before you play Dreamcatcher

DC isnt direct sequel but contains spoilers for the main twist of incubator

[glossy widget]

Anyone familiar with alife mod? I can't seem to buy squads or helicopters anymore like vanilla warfare

[upbeat coral]

for what game?

@glossy widget

[glossy widget]

Stalker anomaly

nvm I'm a idiot i figured it out

[upbeat coral]

grrr

Anomaly mentioned

:(

[wind scaffold]

To make your day better: Golden Ball.

[upbeat coral]

🟡

[wind scaffold]

[upbeat coral]

The goldsphere is real

[solemn anchor]

dang it!!!! my c-con behavior almost leaked in here!!!

nuuuuuu

[cinder oxide]

I did

I finished the mod

[upbeat coral]

Good

[cinder oxide]

I liked some aspects, I just wish everything wasn't so sudden

[upbeat coral]

Hereby I grant thy the permission to play DreamCatcher

[cinder oxide]

And that the main villain wasn't so on the nose in his dialogue

Like if you're presented a choice it becomes suuuuper obvious which is good and bad for you

[dire pecan]

Good day to all! Today I brought food to a hungry stalker. For lunch we have promises of a new mod coming soon. Unfortunately, now I won’t be allowed to show anything more than a few screenshots, so I will give information a little at a time. The mod is being developed in Ukrainian, but will nevertheless have an English localization.

[odd plume]

THE GOLDSPHERE

THE GOLDPSHERE IS REALLL

[upbeat coral]

It is

The one piece I mean

Goldsphere

Is real

[upbeat coral]

Anarchy Cell Remake when?

[dire pecan]

I don’t know) But it will be something similar to Anarchy Cell. Wait a few days or weeks, I have something to surprise you))

[upbeat coral]

Okay

If it doesnt have Morlocks Ill be very very sad :(

[ebon tusk]

so, its a new story?
you didnt really explain what we are even supposed to be looking out for

[dire pecan]

Everything is as planned) I’ll tell you at the beginning of next week about everything that will happen. I don't have the right yet. I can only give one more screenshot from the same location.

[ebon tusk]

those guns are cursed asf

ew

[dire pecan]

The person collecting this weapon package will be very upset if I convey your words to him. Don’t hurt those who do it for nothing, giving away their love and skills)

[ebon tusk]

that shotgun better not be using the folding stock, or I swear to god
what weapon pack or models are you guys using

[wind scaffold]

If person "do it for nothing, giving away their love and skills" doesnt mean we cant critique his work. Right critique can help.

[ebon tusk]

I mean that shotgun model I recognise from OWR3 (?) I remember playing with it in RTTZ
but that ak with the gay ass side handle?I dont recognise that model

its very interesting

[dire pecan]

Fort-500 in real life. Hah, the screenshot I showed doesn’t even have a butt... For now, at least.

[ebon tusk]

yhea thats the gun I was thinking!
its a sexy gun, in the civilian form, the military incarnation doesnt come out as good

the normal stock version looks the best Id say but the no stock version still looks good

[dire pecan]

My role in this project is small - I just create locations in the SDK and implement the plot. The author of the weapon pack is hp22.51. It's better for you to talk to him about weapons. He is the author of NLC Style Addon and SoC Gunslinger Adaptation.

[ebon tusk]

I am not the biggest fan of Gunslinger Adaptations... yhea,if this mod does have a full gunslinger adaptation Ill be sad, but Ill root for the mod anywya

[rich knot]

I am playing SoC GA rn. It's pretty cool and the weapons are nice.

[rich knot]

What is this called?

The mod

[ebon tusk]

he says he'll say next week

and if SOC GA is using the animation state system instead of just linear interpolation,I see no point in even looking at it

[dire pecan]

Clear Sky: Easy Update -> it was on screen haha

[rich knot]

I thought I meant like a update that makes the game easy

Or a set of stuff that would be easily added

[ebon tusk]

I expect it to be a new story on new maps tbh
but hey

everything will be revealed next week

[dire pecan]

Everyone asks me why I named it that way)

[ebon tusk]

to be completely fair,it isnt very clarifying unless it is a rebalancing mod...

[upbeat coral]

here we are again

oh yes Vasim

please tell me more about why the system sucks

[wind scaffold]

I can tell you how this system suck.

[cinder oxide]

What are these weird little goblin zombies

Playing Return to the Zone

And the super lanky zombies that walk kinda like snorks

ok they're cut enemies

I can see why they were cut lmao

the izlom could use a slight design change and it would be perfectly fine

but aint no way the Karlik would make it

goofball dwarf

apparently worshipper of the burer

[wind scaffold]

Its a kid.

[cinder oxide]

they look way too silly and exist in way too high of numbers for me to believe that

https://youtu.be/uFCe4AN0GsM?si=m9N5fvCAUy1vbrP1

You can't tell me this isn't the silliest creature you've ever seen

It feels like it's a modded enemy

Like a Risk of Rain 2 page 10 of the modding list level of modded enemy

[wind scaffold]

It is. This enemy was cut out.

[cinder oxide]

I know lol

I'm saying it feels modded by design

Like it was cut for a very good reason

[ashen trout]

My girlfriend Invited me. @uncut valve We're Cosplaying STALKERS. She's a Loner, I'm Freedom.

[pallid widget]

can u tell her i said hi

[ashen trout]

She says hello. She will post pictures of us in our costumes in here before we go. The event we are attending is this Saturday.

[fallen terrace]

That’s pretty wholesome

[karmic igloo]

I've seen sillier

[cinder oxide]

I don't believe you

The sounds it makes in Return to the Zone are hilarious

[karmic igloo]

You don't need to...
But it isn't the silliest creature out there...(I won't elaborate)

[upbeat coral]

No

Its only fun when Vasim does that

[upbeat coral]

You dont know the X-18 buildo lore

Smh

[ebon tusk]

The secret is in making ppl question if you're actually autistic or not

[upbeat coral]

Hell yeah

Like Krezzin does

[wise wing]

does new levels work with dark signal?

[ebon tusk]

Unless Smth is stated to work,expect it not to
Especially in this case
I assume new levels adds maps and dark signal changes map spawns and adds quests,not compatible

[wise wing]

yea i installed it into mo2 with dark signal earlier and it crashed my game but i wasnt sure if i had to change the order or if it just doesnt work with dark signal

[dire pecan]

As far as I know, this is the main psi mutant that should have appeared in builds. So, for example, in X-16, the dwarfs worshiped the burer who controlled them. The very type of mutant remained from the old plot, where new mutants were grown from... Real people. They stole women, experimented on criminals, and did other inhuman things. This part of the plot remained forgotten, but not for all of us)

So this mutant was once a human child. By the way, you can see human-based mutant embryos in the original SoC in the Dark Valley laboratory.

[dire pecan]

As I know, the developers came to this in order to leave only unique mutants. That is, they wanted to get rid of clones that were unremarkable. Each mutant in the original stalker has certain abilities - invisibility, telekinesis, pyrokinesis or telepathy. There was no point in keeping the same dwarves if we didn’t come up with new mechanics for fighting them.

[upbeat coral]

Bro what is this, I miss the times where Bayun was just a green house cat with weird head

[wind scaffold]

I hate them in Golden Ball. Annoying and blinds you.

[upbeat coral]

https://tenor.com/view/krill-issue-skill-issue-krill-issue-gif-25572478

I hate this

[upbeat coral]

@ebon tusk The Calm after the Storm mod you recommended keeps crashing

😭

Might the other 5 copies of CoP with different mods that all share the same saves folder be the issue?

The game boots just okay but I cant make a new game

[weak gate]

@upbeat coral so.. can we talk about the talking doll device??

[upbeat coral]

yes

[weak gate]

my question is.... wtf?

[upbeat coral]

wdym wtf

the doll explains herself to you

Also if you finish her questline you will see whats going on

[weak gate]

haha idk i did hear there's some whacky stuff in GS i just saw this straight away and was thrown off

[upbeat coral]

Its cool tho

After few hours this wont even seem weird

Wait till you see Yantar, Rostok and Dark Valley

[weak gate]

alright im back in thank you

[upbeat coral]

Also Id recommend deleting the mod once you finish it

otherwise you end up like me

This drive is just for Stalker

[oblique iron]

Hey, so I have a question for Anomaly, is there a mod out there that replaces all npc weapons with western or nato weapons? Same thing with food items as well and a mod for removing certain artifacts?

[upbeat coral]

excuse me?

Is this bait of some sorts

[oblique iron]

No

[upbeat coral]

You played Goldsphere

Why would you want this

[ebon tusk]

your pc must be too bad for the map

[upbeat coral]

[oblique iron]

I dunno, something to do in the near future.

[upbeat coral]

Spatial Anomaly

[oblique iron]

Enjoying Goldsphere by the way.

[ebon tusk]

there is nothing like this,sounds like a bad rebalancing mod tbh\

[upbeat coral]

Secrets of Cordon

Wind of Time

Incubator

RTTZ

DreamCatcher

[ebon tusk]

wdyem with "western and nate food items"

[upbeat coral]

tatrankas and baguettes

[ebon tusk]

fish and chips plate drops from UNISG

[upbeat coral]

fish and chips bruv? thats bloody nice innit?

[oblique iron]

Isn’t arsenal overhaul just nato weapons?

[upbeat coral]

[ebon tusk]

no,wtf do you mean

Arsenal Overhaul adds weapons regardless of origin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf4R084qcXg

[oblique iron]

It kinda feels like that it was mostly nato weapons my guy. I was just simply asking.

[ebon tusk]

why would a weapon pack solely focus on nato weapons?

[upbeat coral]

How do I fix CatS? Please Im desperate to play some mods

[oblique iron]

I dunno I’m not a modder.

[ebon tusk]

just play another IG
Ive received some info that the map is very computationally heavy

[upbeat coral]

Ahh

I have nothing else to play

Its either crappy Alternativa, buggy OLR3.0 or boring AF Lost Alpha

Unless

NLC starts working

Magically

[wind scaffold]

Wait until OLR3.0 released. Now it just OBT. Play OLR2.5 if you want.

[wind scaffold]

Answer: Dont Play Anomaly.

[upbeat coral]

I already finished VoA, 2.5 doesnt seem so different so I probably wont be playing htat

[oblique iron]

Nothing against non nato weapons man. Just making a mod pack is all.

[upbeat coral]

You know you can just remove eastern guns manually, right?

[wind scaffold]

Look in pinned messages, there official Anomaly discord. Ask there. We dont like Anomaly.

[wind scaffold]

You joking, right ?

[upbeat coral]

I mean

You can

I wouldnt recommend it

but you can

[wind scaffold]

Can i remove every gun except knife ?

[upbeat coral]

yes

[wind scaffold]

How enemies can attack you then ?

[upbeat coral]

They cant

The AI will get confused AF

And Anomaly doesnt have the RTTZ kidnappers

So no knife enemies

[wind scaffold]

Wait what ? RTTZ have knife enemies ?

[upbeat coral]

ye

The Adventure DLC does

Memories too I think

not sure tho, i didnt play much of Memories

[wind scaffold]

That what i wanted for that "Hardcore" mods that dont give you bullets, but enemy have them in infinity amounts.

Thats good.

[ashen trout]

Thank you.

[fallen terrace]

Anytime

[ashen trout]

Tomorrow @uncut valve and I will post our cosplay pictures tomorrow.

[fallen terrace]

Looking forward to it.

[upbeat coral]

Hey, any good 8-10 hours mods? Something like Spatial Anomaly or Secrets of Cordon

[outer dove]

anyone know how to fix this stalker dreamcatcher crashing on back to reality cnpp military raid mission

when we all die except from 2 memeber from our squad and us wake up from dream

[normal galleon]

friends, does anyone have an idea as to why my nardonaya solyanka game crashes when I try to pick up the military documents after escaping the Agropprom underground? when i try to pick it up the game freezes for a second and then goas black and crashes to my desktop.

[normal galleon]

i wish i knew more myself, I would recommend solyanka but I think the playtime is supposed to be long.

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[rich knot]

Replay CoP with StCoP

You have a story and a mod

[upbeat coral]

I started a replay of the trilogy some time ago

im close to finishing CoP so no addons now

[ruby citrus]

valley of whispers

concentrated CoP-like

[upbeat coral]

I played that already :D

[ruby citrus]

umm ehhh ummm well ummm

(i've only played 3 mods)

[upbeat coral]

I can relate

(I only finished 16 mods)

[ruby citrus]

actually 4 if you count stason's fork

but that's more of a memetic cognitohazard

[upbeat coral]

I only count story mods

[wind scaffold]

Which mod are you playing ?

Which mod ?

You said mod...

In that case its wrong section. We discuss only mods.

What point in deleting messages ? People anyway would see that we have conversation.

[wind scaffold]

THOR

[wind scaffold]

JUSTICE LEAGUE VS GODZILLA KONG

[ashen trout]

Lol!

Very perceptive.

[wind scaffold]

SCARED BLACK WOMAN ON THE LEFT

[fallen terrace]

I love it!

[cinder oxide]

I might get some hate for this, but I don't love how CoP looks; I think it's a little too brown, especially compared to Clear Sky. Are there any mods that change up the graphics even a little bit? I'd be going on a third playthrough (though my second was a speedrun)

I'm looking at ABR, is this any good?

Also is Dead Sky for CS any good either?

There is an ABR for both actually

Whatever, raw clear sky is fine prolly

[severe haven]

same here

call of pripyat is too yellow

its like breaking bad but in the zone

[cinder oxide]

Well, what can i say: Not only today.

[upbeat coral]

yes

@neon socket couldnt find a clean picture of the map, the blue area is where you want to search

np

good luck

glad to help

the tools from that mine?

you sure you collected everything?

theres quite a lot of stuff there

did you take the stuff from the lower floor too?

weird

hmm

not sure

as I said, its long time since I played the mod

could you send me the safe file?

find the Wind of Time folder, go to appdata, saved games

oh wait

the folder is named savedgames_and_screenshots

okay

open it

and send me the quicksave

[dire pecan]

Dear friends! Maybe someone will get interested in the original stalker shaders?
What can I use instead of selflight->lightplane shader?
Let me explain the situation - this shader works great with static lighting, but I don’t use this lighting. With dynamic lighting settings, objects on such shaders are not displayed at all. So what can I use instead for dynamic lighting?
I'm using overlay of one object on another with different shaders.

[upbeat coral]

okay, lemme check

[upbeat coral]

I only found this

I even flew around with demo_record but didnt find anything else

yeah

All I can suggest is setting the game to static lighting (makes the mine brighter), opening console and typing in demo_ record 1

free cam

its easier to search with it

you can fly up and down, go through walls etc.

much more convenient that walking

ye

I think other techs have different missions

yes

weird

works okay in my game

wait

I added extra space accidentally

its

demo_record 1

[rich knot]

It hasn't released yet

It is in alpha testing

[cinder oxide]

Oh dang

[rich knot]

It's probably going to release before S2

[cinder oxide]

Nice, ill give it a shot when it does

I have like 300 hours of mods lined up bruh

It's over for me

Succumbed to the addiction

[upbeat coral]

ESC

[upbeat coral]

I dont know

The crashes in the mod tend to br quite random

[wind scaffold]

Dont leave the room, dont make mistake.

[upbeat coral]

Yes

Its fun

[ebon tusk]

YES

THE BEAST IS DEAD

REJOICE!!!

Deg is dead
we should throw a party

bc hes dead

joyus day

wonderful occasion

national holiday

[upbeat coral]

Mercenary Beast from the hit mod Spatial Anomaly?!

Nooo9oo

[final frost]

why am I keep getting notifications in #📺┃media channel? I disabled notifications there

[winter jolt]

does call of chernobyl still retain the stuttering issues CoP has because of its too big 3 zones?

I'm haven't set my mind yet on which mod go for after I completed CoP but I don't want to stray too far from the vanilla aspect of the game, at least definitely not complete overhauls

I checked the CoC moddb page and it seems like an uncompleted project, or at least not fully stable

[rich knot]

If you want free play play CoC and it's pretty stable and even the beta releases before it got cancelled is stable

[ruby citrus]

all mods of stalker are complete overhauls

everything is total conversion

[winter jolt]

got it, thanks

[winter jolt]

well yeah but you get what I meant

[ruby citrus]

no

[winter jolt]

[upbeat coral]

CoC is poopoo
Go for Spatial Anomaly

Not to be confused with normal Anomaly

That one is poopoo just like CoC

[wind scaffold]

Go play Golden Ball. Its good story mod with new things.

[upbeat coral]

Try not to mention Goldneball challenge
Difficulty impossible

Me when the ball is golden:

Me when it isnt golden:

Goldsphere babyyyyyy

Im so Goldsphere'd and Jekan pilled

[raven locust]

Hello, is there a mod that allows you to put the PMJ in the pistol slot?

[ebon tusk]

?

[raven locust]

you already know the secondary weapon slot

[ebon tusk]

you mean the PMm?its already a pistol, in CS and SoC there is only one place to put it which is the pistol slot

[raven locust]

the submachine gun used by bandits

[ebon tusk]

the MP5?

[raven locust]

aaaa my name was wrong, it was viper 5

[ebon tusk]

right, I assume youre in either CS or SoC
you cant really

[raven locust]

but I was wondering if there was a mod that allows it or not?

[ebon tusk]

if you want to keep it vanilla, not really

[raven locust]

What I'm looking for is to get rid of this tick in my eye that causes me to see that viper did come in the gun slot and it won't let me put it there

[wind scaffold]

I dont even understand what you want.

[raven locust]

who can put the viper 5 in the pistol slot

[wind scaffold]

Why you need it ?

Stupid question, i know. But still.

[raven locust]

I simply noticed that the viper occupied 3 squares in the inventory, the exact space to enter the secondary weapon slot (pistol) and when trying to put it there I noticed that it cannot be done and I decided to ask if there was a mod that would allow it.
There is no logical reason, just me being picky about space and also so that the viper is not so useless.

[wind scaffold]

If it useless, then its useless to find mod to do it. Use it or dont. Rifles or shotguns always better, i think.

[raven locust]

when I meant useless it was as a main weapon

[wind scaffold]

You dont have another option. 2 slots for any weapon appeared in CoP.

[raven locust]

I know there are other options but the viper would serve a better function as a secondary weapon instead of a primary one.

[wind scaffold]

There no other way.

Maybe some one know, but in vanilla there is no.

[raven locust]

OK thanks

sorry for the inconvenience

[upbeat coral]

Go to files, find tbe Viper, and change its type from 2 to 1

Should technically turn it into pistol

Might potentionally cause thr game to noz work

In that case edit it back and act like nothing happened

[remote pike]

@raven locust only non friendly vanilla mods add that feature for viper, tip: use only viper till aprogrom, after that switch to AK

[upbeat coral]

Strelok left with army after events of CoP and helped them with research

Demidov is a soldier so he probably met Strelok sometime

[remote pike]

Because mods aren't canon

[upbeat coral]

Thats boring explanation

Mods can and often do have their own lore that explains stuff

Wind of Time has rich lore

[upbeat coral]

yeah

thats a known issue

[raven locust]

ok

[dire pecan]

Greetings everyone!
Dear friends, we are pleased to present to you - Clear Sky: Easy Update.
This mod will give you new emotions from the game in a long-familiar part. Yes, for the most part this is a rebalancing mod. But with some "buts"... Namely:
Engine - powerfully updated engine has a large number of both gameplay and visual novelties. These are both new slots for new detectors, a backpack or a helmet, as well as quick access slots with CoP and much more. Cut out static lighting as unnecessary.
Weapons and equipment - AWM's incredible new weapons pack will show you all the original and some new weapons in the angle you like. And it is with this weapon that you will be able to make any sample "for yourself" - customize various parts, sights, muzzle attachments, and more. Equipment samples have also been reworked.
Locations - a total update of Clear Sky locations - now they accommodate more high-poly objects, in addition, a large amount of new vegetation has appeared. The original junk camps in the war of factions have been replaced by new variations, partially expanded territories of the old locations. Added and integrated into the plot several locations that were cut or not implemented.
Plot - added more than 100 new quests. There was both cut content and new content. With the quests came new characters. Most of the characters and factions have acquired full stories as part of their historical experience. Completion or non-completion of tasks in one way or another affects the development of groups.
War - expanded military goals of factions, several new quests and events are integrated into the war, which directly affect the balance of forces in the Zone.
Anomalies and artifacts - added new anomalies and artifacts implemente, rebalanced old variant
This is only a small part of what I would like to tell. But not all at once.

Release date: two to three weeks. gif

[ebon tusk]

so, it's like OGSR, but for CS
Im in, is there gonna be a Eng version or are you fishing for translators

[tribal aspen]

Hey bois, i did the invictus in Gamma. Have a nice day yall btw

[spring tree]

congrats

[tribal aspen]

Ty!

[long ingot]

is it good idea to play this game with mods. for someone who is new to the stalker series???

[surreal cave]

I'd rather play the original games first

So there would be no misconceptions about the games

Plus to feel the contrast

And then u can play mods

[wind scaffold]

ONLY ORIGINAL FIRST. Then Golden Ball (Goldensphere OGSR)

Never play Anomaly.

If you want freeplay mod, Legend Returns, Dead Air, Call of Chernobyl, Road to the North should be your pick.

[dire pecan]

I would like an English version. The foreign community is very friendly in communication, so we do our best.

[ebon tusk]

If you lack a translator I'd be up for filling the role altho I do use machine translation then review the lines of text to make sure it translated well

[dire pecan]

Okay, I'll keep that in mind)

[wind scaffold]

Where is better to store saves backup ? On desktop or in game save location ? Cause i playing GoldenSphere (Golden Ball) and it can corrupt saves.

[upbeat coral]

realest shit Ive ever seen

[upbeat coral]

on desktop, they can and will get corrupted in the file

[wind scaffold]

Thanks.

[upbeat coral]

now enjoy some Goldsphere lore

[wind scaffold]

I already create backup folder for save backups on desktop. Now i jusn know that its better store saves there.

[upbeat coral]

👍

[wind scaffold]

I have question. I now understand that i can comeback to newbie village by jumping or walking through railway bridge. could I have done this before I sacrificed monolith guys ?

[upbeat coral]

nope

would have killed you

You can go back and forth under the bridge once you give Pathfinder to the soldier

[wind scaffold]

Know that. Didnt know that you could go back before getting the Pathfinder.

[upbeat coral]

after getting it

before you get up but I havent tried going back down as I had no means of returning back north

[wind scaffold]

But i can. There a hole in fence where train crashed. There you can go back and forth after you sacrificed monolith guy and before getting pathfinder. Just one of Jekans shenanigans. And for me its useful. I store in stash all armor, meds, ammo, guns, artefacts, items and i dont know what else. And bullets for Homemade pistol is just essential item.

[upbeat coral]

damn

I didnt know that

cool

[wind scaffold]

Jekan have his own secrets and riddles.

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[ruby citrus]

new as in "haven't played anything" or "played the trilogy"?

[upbeat coral]

please dont say Anomaly or Ill resort to violence

[long ingot]

I never played stalker games before. never in my history. and I'm curious if i should get any mods for the game or deal with what it is. for best experience for fresh meat

[upbeat coral]

there arent any mods that keep completely vanilla exparience, there are some bug fix mods but they affect other parts of the game too so its recommended to only use them on second palythrough

[ruby citrus]

play
Shadow of Chornobyl > Clear Sky > Call of Pripyat'
all stalker mods are total conversion (their own games basically) so you shouldn't install any (besides ZRP and SRP for SoC and CS respectively if your game isn't working)

[upbeat coral]

tldr: first playthrough no mods

[long ingot]

I was considering mods that add new weapons. artifacts. and quests. maybe even choice to join faction if possible

[upbeat coral]

[ruby citrus]

why if you haven't played the games

[long ingot]

idk I seen from gameplay footages on twitch that shadow of chernobyl is highly story/objective oriented

[upbeat coral]

just go vanilla

[long ingot]

I've only got to point where you get Intel about strielok and shut the game

[upbeat coral]

theres quite many such occasions

gotta be more specific

[ruby citrus]

the ogs are rpgs at heart, yes
i mean, you can go straight into whatever you want, if you seek a certain type of gameplay only some freeplay can satisfy that is fine

but it strikes me as odd dismissing things you haven't even tried

[long ingot]

I tried hunting animals. I killed some boars but idk how to harvest animals. aside from looting them

[ruby citrus]

it's comparable to downloading mmod for your first playthrough of half-life 2, or playing Entropy Zero instead of the game first, but this type of modded first playthrough is normalized for stalker for some reason

[ruby citrus]

okay whatever, you will probably like Anomaly and G.A.M.M.A

try those

[long ingot]
