[river belfry]

Yeah i've seen a vid, anims seem great, it has tac sprint anims maybe that's a little too much 😂

[rich knot]

It has been out for a while so I thought someone would have translated it

The 2.6.3 doesn't have anims

[river belfry]

Found a "redux" version too but it seems to include a lot more stuff

Seems to include SRP though so that's a good start at least

[weak gate]

what is so bad about RTTN? It dumps on every mod I've ever tried

[blazing lichen]

im curious aswell as im gonna try it soon

[weak gate]

its fkng great

and i havent heard one coherent point as to why it's not lol

other than 'its misery based and its too hard for me!'

[upbeat coral]

Only thing Id point out is lack of good sidequests
The few that are there are really good but theres just too few

Which is understandable considering the mod was made by 2 guys

[weak gate]

it's so hard just to do get going, needing to fight constantly that I haven't run out of things to keep me occupied.. finally started progressing the story yesterday after I had to clear 27 bandits (i had to count) from the train yard at garbage

[upbeat coral]

:)

[river belfry]

I wish we had SSS for RTTN and maybe updated anims but otherwise it slaps, it's special, I like it, nlc is special too lol

[neon socket]

Hello my brothers! Any of know a mod just like Original Weapons Renewal for Clear Sky? I've been searching one for a while, but i couldn't found one.

[rich knot]

The coolest thing is probably SWR for CS

[thick gyro]

Anyone got mod suggestions? I've only played the trilogy and anomaly and I got the itch for more stalker

[blazing lichen]

Road to the north, call of the zone but if you check the pins in this channel there's a alot of mods to explore @thick gyro

[ruby citrus]

https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1718294494682238.png here's a handy chart

[thick gyro]

What game are those built on cuz I'd prefer cop but any of the games fine tbh

@blazing lichen

[blazing lichen]

This list nozar posted answers that but I believe cotz is a based off cop/coc

[ebon tusk]

Game of Souls or Return to the Zone

[thick gyro]

Is coc mostly freeplay?

[ebon tusk]

Anomaly is based on a CoC fork

it is freeplay

[thick gyro]

I tire of freeplay

Look like road to the north is what I'm gona do then thanks

[ebon tusk]

RTTN is a freeplay mod

it is based in CoC

[idle matrix]

Yeah though it does have a storyline that doesn't suck

[thick gyro]

Lol anomaly story is ass idk y I played it

[left edge]

any ideas on what to study if I want to mod stalker 2? I have general programming experience but only basic modeling experience.

[ruby citrus]

depends on what you wanna mod/what the game will allow you to do?

[ebon tusk]

game aint out yet, wait for it to at least come out before asking

we don even have the SDK, but learn basic UE I guess

[stray pebble]

yeah start getting used to knowing how to mod for Unreal Engine, sure they'll have the SDK out for it, but it's still good to have the knowledge under your belt for it regardless

[pliant lava]

Anyone know how to make a spawn menu work on Clear sky?

[remote pike]

Play Spatial anomaly, the quest's quality is the equivalent of cop, new maps, weapons, textures, mutants and emissions such as acid rains, only problem is that it's really easy to softlock your game because some important npcs can die when they are not supposed to because they don't have invincibility so you should manually save often

[stray pebble]

welp i already ran into an issue while playing Call Of The Zone, i went to the cordon farm to get a job from the technician that a bandit stole his tools and when i went to Agroprom to get ahold of the bandit, but he already bit it and his body was empty when i checked his gear, guess i should consider this job biffed

[thick gyro]

I'll give it a look thanks

[abstract spade]

Are you using Rhons' quest expansion and/or lighter quest items?

They conflict so quest items won't spawn on bodies, when they should, at least in my experience with Mahzra's pack

They might've just been looted, such is the Zone

[upbeat coral]

Ehhh
Its story mos with that doesnt hold you back

It has freeplay elements but thats not the main focus

[shrewd flame]

Currently playing vector of alienation. It's pretty cool

Are all the maps from earlier builds?

[upbeat coral]

yes

Vector of Alienation is just revised OLR with better writing

all OLR maps are from old builds GSC released

[shrewd flame]

nice

I hesitated between OLR and VA

I choosed VA

maybe I will try OLR when the 3.0 is fully released

[cinder oxide]

OLRR

[upbeat coral]

[stray pebble]

nah it's just a clean install with no addons

it eventually failed and went away

[abstract spade]

Then he was just killed by someone else

[ember kindle]

What mods would y'all recommend for free play but with a long, good enough story and interesting quests and gameplay style that are more like stalker and not some Tarkov operator stuff?

[upbeat coral]

There arent many good freeplay mods with proper story

your best bets are Legend Returns for more vanilla style

and Road to the North if you want something bit more hardcore @ember kindle

[ember kindle]

Ight thanks bro I'll go for Road to the North

[idle matrix]

Legend returns has a pretty rough translation currently

[upbeat coral]

yeah some polish text remains and from time to time the sentences are written very weirdly

[ember kindle]

Based

[ruby citrus]

haven't played VA but something tells me this isn't true

[upbeat coral]

Erm
VoA*

And afaik it is just revised writing

Maybe few quests are changed a bit

Theres also the jsgme optional addons

But writing improvements are the main thing

[blissful fog]

that be cool

[ruby citrus]

doesn't seem so

both ap-pro and moddb pages tell me the mod is a significant revamp of the base OLR

considering it's also based on the earlier version of OLR i'd suggest people to just play all three: VoA, 2.5, 3.0

should check it myself honestly

[neon socket]

Does someone in this server have already checked out the Vanilla Stalker Overhaul mod? It's a very good mod that i accidentally found, it uses the original engine and does a pretty decent job on modernizing the original experience.

[ruby citrus]

checked the patchnotes and no, the only good change there is having en subtitles with ru audio
SoC doesn't require modernizing methinks

[neon socket]

I’ve heard that it ports some stuff from Atmosfear and Autumn Aurora to the original Xray Engine.

[ruby citrus]

i'm more interested in stalker modding as a vehicle for separate games and total conversions than "overhauls" tbh

[neon socket]

I understand it, but in my opinion, i prefer just overhaul mods and stuff like that, conversion mods are just not my personal taste.

But i know there is some good conversions mods btw, like Misery, Yoctosfera and Lost Alpha.

[neon socket]

Sorry, there is a lot of very good conversion mods to be honest.

[ruby citrus]

yoctosfera? what's that

[neon socket]

A conversion mod for clear sky.

[neon socket]

I mean, “conversion”.

It really changes a lot of things in the game, it’s like a misery but for clear sky. But, the main storyline stills pratically the same.

[ruby citrus]

hmmmmm

speaking of Lost Alpha, have you tried OLR?

[neon socket]

Oblivion Lost Remake? Nah, i tried to download it once, but i got too lazy and didn’t searched the 2.0 version of the game.

But, i pretend on playing it one day when i finish the main triology.

[ruby citrus]

2.0 is very old, so old that 3.0 released recently
i highly suggest it, even though not sure what version you should play, i only tried 2.5 and it seems like 3.0 became a whole other mod with how many changes it brings, so i can't testify to its quality

[neon socket]

Hmm, i gonna give a chance to it.

I’ve saw some gameplays of the older versions, and it looked very fun to play. Like, it really looked like what the alpha trailers showed.

[ruby citrus]

yeah, it's the closest to Oblivion Lost there is, hence the name

[neon socket]

It makes me think about something.

What if the game that was released else of Shadow of Chernobyl in 2007 was oblivion lost? Like, with all that vehicles crazy mechanics and crazy physics that the trailers showed.

https://youtu.be/oqQt-C6KB_8?si=_dcvX7RX_wK-YV7D Also, when i watch this trailers, especially this one tech trailer, i just feel such a nostalgic felling, it’s comforting for me in some way.

[ruby citrus]

i think a lot of atmospheric changes SoC brought to stalker helped it to gain traction within the wider audience, part of the reason why was its "realism" in relation to east europe, which wouldn't be the case with OL's more futuristic setting

after all, the biggest conceptual change from OL to SoC happened even before GSC was pressured by THQ

[neon socket]

Yeah, you’re right. Oblivion Lost looked more… “westernized” then SoC.

[neon socket]

For real, the stalker games have such a long story when jt comes to the development, especially SoC.

[ruby citrus]

not really, OL was simply more focused on the science-fiction than anything

kinda want to listen to dev interviews now to know what they think

[neon socket]

Yeah, i said it very poorly. I mean, I can’t find the right word for it… But, in short, OL was more inspired by Roadside Picnic and SoC was more inspired by the movie Stalker.

[ruby citrus]

somewhat

i'd suggest reading OL's literary script if you speak russian

[neon socket]

No, i only understand a few words, but I certainly could not be able to even read a entire phrase.

[ruby citrus]

sadddd, hope there's a translation one day

[neon socket]

Man, it’s very late right now for me, 4:26.

[neat dune]

dimitrisantiago has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ruby citrus]

desdocs being in russian is what prevents the western community fully exploring the early stalker, kinda an unsolvable issue since translating documents as those isn't really viable

[ruby citrus]

go sleep then 😭

[neon socket]

Bye for now, man.

[ruby citrus]

woman 😭

[neon socket]

If I don’t sleep rn, i am probably going to pass out.

[neon socket]

Ah, sorry, woman.

[ruby citrus]

goodnight

[abstract spade]

Where can the full thing be found? I've read the translated tidbits and desdocs, but I may understand some of it

[ruby citrus]

https://polutona.ru/?show=reflect&id=674
https://polutona.ru/?show=reflect&number=41&id=687
https://vk.com/doc82318697_457842695?t2fs=b561159b4cad5e0d0a_2

i wonder if anyone attempted to translate them

[abstract spade]

https://tenor.com/view/ip-grabber-mad-max-gif-26202451

[ruby citrus]

yes i agree VKontakte and mailru at large definitely does sell your data to FSB

[abstract spade]

Good thing I don't own a Freedom flag, otherwise they could do something silly

[idle matrix]

Is OGSR worth a play?

[ebon tusk]

ye

[abstract spade]

Some of the sidequests are vasyan аf, but it's pretty good overall

[shrewd flame]

Is buying a car from Barkeep in VoA worth it?

[ruby citrus]

you can get into cars without buying them, at least in 2.5

[main sedge]

What mods will give me the most out of clear sky? (graphics and game play)

[shrewd flame]

Thanks

[ruby citrus]

REBORN

a serious answer: nothing
Play vanilla

[main sedge]

Already did, and enjoyed it really much, now I wanted to play it again but bugs started to annoy me

[ruby citrus]

SRP is a nice bug-fix mod

[stray pebble]

yeah SRP is good, i love using the Alternative Ballistics myself

[idle matrix]

Just SRP then. There are not a ton of mods built on CS compared to the others

It squashes many of the remaining bugs

[upbeat coral]

CS is already looking good

seriously its so nice for a 2008 game

I love Clear Sky

[main sedge]

Actually I just realized that by adding graphics mods I would remove that atmosphere that makes it great

[upbeat coral]

[rich knot]

Also check out SWR

[neon socket]

There's a ton of mods! Abr, Yoctosfera, Last Fallout Overhaul...

[neon socket]

I do not recommend ABR, it changes some significant things about the gameplay that does not fit my taste, but maybe it could be the perfect mod for you.

[upbeat coral]

[cinder oxide]

what mod is this lmao

3 trillion artifacts

nearly 200kg carry weight

[rich knot]

OGSR

[cinder oxide]

Oh wow that's what it looks like?

Pretty good

[rich knot]

I think its the GA variant

Yeah its defo the Gunslinger version

[shadow kindle]

Also the fact that you cant buy guns from anyone like wtaf? That makes no sense to my mind

[stray pebble]

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

[steady gust]

anyone know if its possible to update fwr used in legend returns?

or if it even uses fwr

i think its fwr

[stray pebble]

fwr?

[rich knot]

Full weapons reanimation

[stray pebble]

ah

[steady cloak]

where can I find a subtitle mod for Shadow of Chernobyl, that works with the Zone Reclamation Project mod?

[rich knot]

Have you tried this http://www.mediafire.com/file/6wr5h5tr6gdj9jz/InGameCC_for_ZRP_1.07.rar/file

You need zrp 1.07

Also it's only essential NPCs

[steady cloak]

so no rando npc dialog?

[rich knot]

Probably

[lilac whale]

Hello, anyone knows if it's possible to completely disable autosave in Stalker Anomaly? I found one setting and disabled it but when crossing between areas I noticed it still autosaves

[stray pebble]

you'll probably have better luck asking that in the Anomaly discord

[lilac whale]

ah, you're right, sorry

[upbeat coral]

Ewwww
Anomaly
Ewwwwwwwww

EWWWWWWW

Bad mod

Bad

Ewwww

[remote pike]

Don't think so

You'd need to make a mod yourself

[blazing lichen]

Least it's not gamma

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
Thats the only thing Anomaly has going for it

But you know

At least they have good emojis

[blazing lichen]

I called someone's gamma video slop and they dmed me some hate lol

[upbeat coral]

Most emotionally stable and mature gamma player

[blazing lichen]

It's worse cuz it was partially in French it's someone from here lol

[upbeat coral]

Eww
France

[blazing lichen]

Gamma and France 🤢

[upbeat coral]

Real

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

France

Any other country

[lilac whale]

What's with all this negativity towards certain mods? I literally only played vanilla years ago and just recently decided to give the "free open world" experience a try, I don't know anything about what's considered good or bad

I don't even know how addons work

[upbeat coral]

Some mods are a lot worse than what the community presents them as

Making people frustrated if they get mentioned

Anomaly is definition of overrated and poorly made mod

Which is shame when theres so much good stuff modders made over the years

Stuff like Wind of Time, Oblivion Lost Remake, Spatial Anomaly, Incubator, Dreamcatcher...

Anyways

If you want good freeplay

Try Call of the Zone

If you want better Anomaly play Road to the North

And if you want really good story

Spatial Anomaly is mod for that

That was my Anomaly rant for today

:3

Tune in next week for more

[blazing lichen]

based and informative

im currently playing COTZ its nice

[upbeat coral]

Yes

The quests are peak

At least for freeplay standards

[blazing lichen]

its a shame X is dead would have been cool to see his vision grow

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

But at least he was able to give us his best stuff beforehand

I hope people will remember him for CotZ and not for LTTZ

[blazing lichen]

heres hoping

[upbeat coral]

Good thing bad writing is easily fixable

Too bad nobody wants to do it

[blazing lichen]

ong wish we had more writers

i like freeplay but i prefer story and purpose

[upbeat coral]

I have rewritten parts of LTTZ already

So it makes more sense and is consistent with trilogys lore

Too bad I can't code

[blazing lichen]

doing the lords work

[upbeat coral]

So all I can do is text

[blazing lichen]

are you learning code or is that something you dont wanna get into ?

[upbeat coral]

Well I could probably learn Lua since irs what stalker uses and it isnt hard

But I got hand full of work

Configs and texts wont fix themselves

Hopefully during summer I can fix that and move to other issues

[blazing lichen]

itll be cool to see your work sometime

[upbeat coral]

Wait
I will have to adapt the dialogues to LTTZ Directors Cut too

[blazing lichen]

oh no 💀

[upbeat coral]

Or

I can just leave that part unchanged

;3

More time to play story mods that way

[blazing lichen]

fr haha

[upbeat coral]

Messenger my beloved

Damn its late

Gn fellas

And dont forget to play story mods

Check my unbiased epic and totally honest and unbiased review in pinned

:3

[blazing lichen]

Gn and take care I'll have to take a look at these

[shadow kindle]

How much better is it than anomaly?

I just beat Anomaly and I had a pretty good time

[blazing lichen]

to soon to say just getting into it but i know its story and quests are better it has less item bloat and so far im happier with it

id say its deff worth trying doctorx was awesome ( rip to him)

i got the clearsky atmosphere mod for it aswell

[shadow kindle]

So its like anomaly? As in you can go everywhere in zone?

[blazing lichen]

yeah its like anomaly here ill link the page it goes into alot of detail

[shadow kindle]

Ill get it downloaded

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone

theres alot more info then i can type out

[shadow kindle]

Its all good I can read lol

[blazing lichen]

fair lol

[shadow kindle]

Not even in the game yet and I like this better

Spawn start my game where I want instead of Cordon for 1000th time

[blazing lichen]

Glad you're enjoying folks here told me about it and fr it's such a nice change being able to switch it up

[shadow kindle]

Can you put mods on top of it or no?

[blazing lichen]

Yeah you can still mod it

theres some mod packs out there and lots of singles aswell

[shadow kindle]

Any recommendations?

Especially for guns

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone/addons/call-of-the-zone-weapon-pack-14-cotz-11

i use this but there is arsonal overhaul

i use clearsky atmosphere and misery textures and a mini map

and dynamic radio chatter

im keeping it light on mods for now though i did alot of tes modding before stalker and bug testing and stuff wasnt fun haha

@rich knot what were some of the COTZ mods you recommened ?

[shadow kindle]

My partner has been doing a modlist for skyrim for years, had to completley restart when the latest edition of skyrim came out

deleted all their mods

[blazing lichen]

Oh no

Still hate todd for that tbh

[shadow kindle]

they had both a regular and vr modlist too

[blazing lichen]

Oh no 😭

Idk if I could go back after that

[shadow kindle]

i keep encouraging them to, we both like skyrim and want to see it complete

[rich knot]

Arsenal overhaul 3 for a gun pack

I used the Wretched pack but the nights were too dark without reshade and with reshade it was perfect... Unless it was cloudy and raining

[shadow kindle]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone/addons/weapons-readjust-by-nima-cotz

is it this one?

[shadow kindle]

is this performance heavy?

I dont have the best PC

sorry for the boat load of questions, new to PC and modding things

[rich knot]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone/addons/ao3-for-cotz-12

This is the one

[shadow kindle]

thank youu

[rich knot]

And CotZ is fine if you can run it but some of the mod packs make it more performance intensive but not by a huge amount

[blazing lichen]

COTZ and EFP are gonna be my way to kill time until stalker 2 since i just finished trilogy

[shadow kindle]

Whats EFP like?

Looks kinda like Gamma

[blazing lichen]

efp is fun so far its not as annoying/tedious as gamma thankfully its deff tactical focused but still worth a try

i wanna do the story modes for all the factions

[rich knot]

That image looks like it can kill my laptop

The one of the right

[blazing lichen]

its extremely intense on my pc

[shadow kindle]

My PC would turn into CnPP

[rich knot]

My laptop would become a claymore

[blazing lichen]

haha its wild im thankful stalker 2 will be better optimized

[shadow kindle]

got a link for this? cant seem to find it

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone/addons/dynamic-news-revamp-43-for-cotz-12

[shrewd spruce]

the only thing i have left to do is quest mods

ive overhauled combat with hits that match your actual weapons swings and all sorts, enhanced all the gear and most of the world

but quest mods scare me, im expecting them to completely break down on top of all my other mods. im amazed it runs at all with like 700+ plugin files

[shrewd spruce]

we tried Wrenched
my computer stutters with it
her computer will mostly likely keel over and die

[blazing lichen]

holy im impressed it runs with that many thats efp and gamma combined haha and yeah idk how well they will run on top of everything

[shrewd spruce]

I don't know how it works either
and somehow when i encounter a crash, i always manage to find a way to fix it, even if it takes me hours
ive modded this game since i was 14, i must know it like an instinct at this point

[ruby citrus]

did they not know they could install the previous version of skyrim in steam??

[shrewd spruce]

i do know

i tried that
but it caused a lot more complication than it was worth

[ruby citrus]

i mean just installing a pirated version and exporting all your mods there was also an option

[shrewd spruce]

most mods have been updated since then and digging through the archived files every time to get the right version is a huge hassle
sometimes mods don't even have old versions

[shrewd spruce]

i dunno, between the update and when i started modding again, i think i lost all my old files, probably deleting them out of grief, and it was just better to start again

i don't think i was even finished with my setup when the update happened so it completely took the wind out of my sails

it's better than ever now anyway
sometimes it's good to restart a huge modlist with new skills and experience

[rich knot]

I experience some stutters but it's significantly less than Analmeme

But my problem was that the darkness in vanilla CotZ is dark as hell and I got bloom to work in everything but clouds, and the wretched pack is not compatible with CS vanilla atmosphere

[blazing lichen]

Yeah I was gonna say COTZ is dark af almost to dark

[stray pebble]

speaking of COTZ i didn't realize it has Atmosfear built into it, it was nice to see a distant storm on the horizon of Jupiter

[upbeat coral]

They are same for all

[shrewd flame]

VoA is really cool it's like discovering SoC for the first time again

But it's a bit buggy sometimes

[upbeat coral]

Real

Its like playing SoC with partial amnesia

You know bits of it but cant really connect them

Everything seems familiar yet new

[shrewd flame]

**True Messer Experience™ **

[upbeat coral]

Real

It really makes you feel like you are suffering from amnesia
-IGN reviewer (probably)

[idle matrix]

Started it yesterday myself. Like the pretty empty feel of the Cordon in this reimagining

Certainly way better than LA so far even if it's not as pretty

[upbeat coral]

LA maps are peak

Too bad rest of the mod sucks ass

[shrewd flame]

Never played it

I heard that the DC version was not that bad

[idle matrix]

Eh

[upbeat coral]

DC is the worst

They removed all the funnyshit

And kept the bad stuff

[idle matrix]

Core problem is quests send you running back and forth a lot especially early on and they make your move speed very slow

I modded the game to speed myself up modestly and I still didn't make it much past the bar before setting it aside

LA has vehicles but you will not get them for a while

Successive versions of LA also kept nerfing some early quest rewards so you are stuck with bad weapons and armor for longer

[blazing lichen]

That sounds bad

[idle matrix]

It is kinda boring. The only thing that kept me going for a while were how good the maps are. Really wasted on that mod. There are better things to play in the end

It is a shame because it is pretty clear a lot of work went into it

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

Too bad they didnt have clear vision from the start

Started as buildo and devolved into 30 times rewritten mess

[neon socket]

So guys, i decided to change my modpacks, i decided to not use VSO anymore in SoC.
My modpack for now is:
-A.A.A 0.0.6 modpack for SoC
-Absolute nature
-Absolute structures
-Stalker Weather Overhaul 3.1
-PM and PB retextured
Believe, these are much less mods then i had in VSO, and they are much more a vanilla experience too.

[wraith wagon]

Truly a Game Journalist Moment

[subtle drum]

How do I unpack all 3 stalker games?

[stray pebble]

there's unpacker tools you can get that modders use

[subtle drum]

I have it but don't really know what to do

Nvm I will try another way

[remote pike]

You can ask chatgpt for guidance

It can go more into detail if you're confused

[stray pebble]

[remote pike]

No joke, it actually works because stalker stuff is old so it has enough information

[remote pike]

It would definitely help more than just being told "there's unpacker tools*

[stray pebble]

yeah but it sure as hell beats having some dumb ai thing give instructions, i've literally had that thing give false info to me on subjects before

[remote pike]

Different experiences, different opinions

It all depends on what you ask it

If it's about something that happened today

It won't be 100% correct

But if you ask it to tell you how to transform .ogf files into .obj, it will list all instructions as well as link the programs/add-ons you're gonna need

[versed monolith]

What are the Best Grass Settings for 2 GB VRAM GPU

[golden shard]

Does anyone here know how the mod.io thing works for the console edition I just want to know how I would download the mods into the console version

[ebon tusk]

Console Mod Information

Modding website == https://www.stalker-game.com/en/modding

Modding Information == https://modio.stalker-game.com/Mod.io_How_to_create_the_mods.pdf

Modding FAQ == https://modio.stalker-game.com/FAQ_2024_v.1.3.pdf

[ebon tusk]

modding website and information

you have all the information you need to make mods for consoles in that file, SDK is only needed when dealing with levels and configs and such
please take note you cannot change levels or config files or change scripts, nor can you add any file whatsoever, you can only modify the files

as is stated in the pdf, you need to download the archive with the file strucutre and physically replace the files, then pack it all up and test

tools for making animatios and models ( the Blender Plugin) is not in the SDK and is community made, you can find it in the pins in this channel

it will always be like this

[blazing lichen]

Scripting and consoles are such a security risk look at how many times Sony's been hacked lol

I mean look skyrim and fallout 4 for Sony they make due with no external assets or scripts but to be fair I'm suprised they'd put time into this in the first place

I'm sure there's still a point

[ruby citrus]

nah

[blazing lichen]

I mean my view is just buy a pc but not everyone can afford a good one so it's a nice consolation prize

Which one ? Xbox or Sony?

Oh weird maybe they'll lighten up one day and allow it

[ancient wind]

console Skyrim has the same modding tools as pc

and thats both xbox and PlayStation

[blazing lichen]

Weird I guess bethesda is cooler with mods

[harsh pecan]

Hi i wanted to ask if Radiophobia 3 runs well on a low end pc

[zinc quiver]

Not too well

[noble basalt]

never lol

[ancient wind]

is radiophobia misery based

[noble basalt]

in terms of performance misery lags a lot more. at least for my decent pc.

[idle matrix]

Yeah it's OGSR engine with some added features I think? Pretty performance heavy

[upbeat coral]

stalker runs on everything tho

I finished the trilogy on i5 650, 6GB ram and GT-730

most fun I had when playing any game

[ruby citrus]

i finished the trilogy on a 1,6hz singlecore pentium and a 8600gt with 125mb or VRAM

[ancient wind]

that wasn't my question

[noble basalt]

wah oke. gameplay wise it is, very artificial difficulty.

[upbeat coral]

my PC could barely use Windows at the time

[noble basalt]

true 2008 stalker experience

[upbeat coral]

it was in summer of 2022

[weary mulch]

i have an issue where i loose fps over time playing gunslinger mod, fresh install no other mods. I have 160-165 fps for 10-20 mins and then it will go down to about 60-70 fps, dunno if this is the right place to ask but i cannot for the life of me find any help using google or reddit.🙏

[stray pebble]

is it the normal or OpenXray variant?

[weary mulch]

its the first one popping up when you google it S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP - GUNSLINGER mod BETA (07.02.2020)

so im guessing its the normal one

[stray pebble]

did you get it from ModDB?

[weary mulch]

yep

[stray pebble]

many people don't know this

but there's a newer updated build from 2022

[ruby citrus]

last build is from 22

[stray pebble]

https://vk.com/wall-81360630_35481

here's the newest build

[weary mulch]

oh

[ruby citrus]

https://ap-pro.ru/forums/topic/179-gunslinger-mod/?tab=comments#comment-257

[weary mulch]

damn son

nice ill try that out thanks a lot!

[stray pebble]

it finally adds the winchester shotgun back in too

and a few other things

[weary mulch]

crossing my fingers it wont drop frames then!

its so off putting because its running buttery smooth untill it aint

[ruby citrus]

why are you playing gunslinger anyway

[weary mulch]

im a new stalker

doing all the games first and then modding them to then go gamma to finally be able to dive into stalker 2

[ruby citrus]

you have no idea

[stray pebble]

most sane mod player

[weary mulch]

yep im in for a ride

[stray pebble]

though alot of people are going to tell you this mainly because it's true

do not go into Stalker 2 thinking it will be like Gamma

[ruby citrus]

are you on the modding them stage right now?

[weary mulch]

not that far yet just trying vanilla gunslinger before diving into gamma i think

[stray pebble]

jumping between those two mods are a day and night difference (the night being a bag thrown over your head and getting kicked in the stomach)

[weary mulch]

ive watched a few gamma playthoughs

its night and day allright

[grizzled elk]

From what I recall for gunslinger, you can increase performance by lowering the grass density and shadow quality

[ruby citrus]

why is gamma every newbies choice there are like 100 total conversions out there ughhh

[grizzled elk]

Grass density or quality I don't remember pretty well

[stray pebble]

oh yeah grass render is a big issue

[weary mulch]

that doesnt do anything as i said its running buttery smooth for like 20 mins with cranked settings (4090-14900k) untill it doesnt anymore

its seems to me like its some leak or kind

sometimes it happens faster when im browsing vendors

[grizzled elk]

Also changing the xray settings to a lower one helps

[grizzled elk]

Let me guess, inside the ship?

[weary mulch]

yep

[ruby citrus]

even freeplay mods, Call of the Zone, Return to the North, Legend Returns, Old World, why is it always gamma

[stray pebble]

but seriously though i ain't one to stop ya, but there's a reason alotta people in here don't like Gamma

when you gotta huge mod like this where you can't even have technicians repair your weapons, let alone being able to buy them at all really says something Gork throws a fit when you don't grind out his mod for 400 hours

[weary mulch]

yea im not 100 on gamma yet i might do my own anomaly

buts its gna take a lot of tinkering

[grizzled elk]

Because it's what's popular and also it's easy to install and accessible. Not that hard to deduct.

[ruby citrus]

and it's WRONG

[rich knot]

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good

[ruby citrus]

here's a good modifications chart if you're interested
https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1718294494682238.png

[weary mulch]

already looking at that frequently mate but thanks a lot anyway!

[grizzled elk]

That's subjective, people can choose to try stalker with GAMMA as a stepping stone, although the only caveat I could think about is that people would probably have higher expectations that it would be similar to those mods like Doom and Project brutality

[grizzled elk]

Never said I did. Do u even know the context of my comment lol

[rich knot]

I never said you did

[stray pebble]

my biggest gripe with those mods are the people who get into them are usually people who never play the base games, and tell other newcomers of the series to skip them too and just play mods

[grizzled elk]

I personally think Complete stalker for SoC is a great mod, some people think it isn't. It's all subjective.

[stray pebble]

like look at this poor lost soul

[grizzled elk]

I personally like GAMMA, I think is a little too complicated for me, that doesn't make it any better than other mods

[ruby citrus]

they do not choose because for them there is nothing to choose from, stalker on western youtube is represented by anomaly and gamma exclusively

[stray pebble]

i've recently been going through Call Of The Zone with CS Atmosphere with fog and i'm having a blast, it's definitely one of the better freeplay mods

[grizzled elk]

I love True Stalker but there some things I don't like about it, like how most quest are errand boy task, and how the early game is just slow and painful.

Once u get the exo and shit it gets better

[stray pebble]

the lack of A-Life bugs me

and getting hit in the head so many times you should have brain damage

and personally i found the ending very underwhelming

[grizzled elk]

They do? Just like how everyone bandwagonned to Mysery to dead air, lost alpha, Call of Chernobyl, Anomaly, and GAMMA is just anomaly with mod packs. GAMMA is just what's trendy right now. There is no reason to hate. Which the new trendy mod now is true stalker. They are all free and introduce new players to the series. It's kinda cringe with all the "muh gatekeep", etc

[ruby citrus]

i've never seen a single lost alpha video on en youtube, lmfao

[grizzled elk]

Bruh now you are just baiting

[stray pebble]

to be fair the lost alpha videos are buried under these new mod videos

[ruby citrus]

i have no intention to gatekeep, in fact it's the opposite, i want more people to know about this modding scene

[grizzled elk]

I agree, that's also an issue with True Stalker.

[stray pebble]

like with the release of Tarkov there's a huge upsurge in tactislop, ergo Gamma

[ruby citrus]

and GAMMA is bad anyway

[grizzled elk]

Rage bait reeee

[blazing lichen]

Based take but everything but the 3 canon games aren't truly good

It wouldn't be so bad if the YouTubers stressed how Important it is to play the og trilogy before touching any mods

[ruby citrus]

i want mah stalker be represented by insane slavic mods, not tacticool bullshіt

[stray pebble]

they need to add splash screens to those mods to urge people to play the originals first

they'd have all my respect if they did

[blazing lichen]

Same honestly

If you Just jumped into the free mods you'd have no idea about anything

[grizzled elk]

Then don't play GAMMA? that's literally what GAMMA was made for to catter to more realistic tactical stuff? Nobody is forcing you lol

[blazing lichen]

The issue with gamma is more about the gamma player community

[stray pebble]

^

[blazing lichen]

They push gamma over the actual canon games

[grizzled elk]

Which is?

[grizzled elk]

Where?

[ruby citrus]

hey i think that it's bad that a very non-stalkery modpack is all westerners know about stalker
ermmm then don't play it
???

[blazing lichen]

Drewski telling people to skip clear sky until we all shit on his YouTube videos

Recommending true stalker and anomaly over clear sky

A canon game

[neat gorge]

???

clear sky is fun

[blazing lichen]

Gamma YouTubers are a huge issue

[neat gorge]

if you dont push it to the limits

[grizzled elk]

You are just making assumptions now

[neat gorge]

clear sky might lack the amount of mods compared to CoP or SoC

[ruby citrus]

i just said that en youtube stalker vids are all gamma/anomaly

[neat gorge]

but its still fun

[blazing lichen]

I mess around with gamma and these mod packs but I also have done the entire trilogy and know these mods aren't canon or real stalker

[ruby citrus]

i've seen some OLR highlights but they had 20k views, that's it

[ruby citrus]

REBORN is all you need

[blazing lichen]

New fans getting into gamma wouldn't even know who the marked one was

[neat gorge]

i dont think casual players will dive deeper into stalker

they like when everything is already served with the yt vids

[grizzled elk]

So players that play half life mods won't know who Gordon Freeman is?

[ruby citrus]

i mean no sane person plays hdtf before hl2

[blazing lichen]

That's a dumb comparison and you know it

Play gamma but beat the trilogy first

[ruby citrus]

though i very much would like to meet with such human

[grizzled elk]

That's what you are saying with stalker though? So let's say someone who plays GMOD wouldn't know who gordon freeman is according to your logic

[blazing lichen]

You don't have gmod YouTubers telling people to skip the games and play a non canon survival mod

[grizzled elk]

You are just changing the subject

[blazing lichen]

You're deflecting

[ruby citrus]

eghhhhh kinda true, i can't imagine your average anomaly enjoyer playing anything more esoteric than CoC, but even then, there are better modpacks for CoC/Anomaly

[blazing lichen]

Gamma is fine but it's a mistake for it to be your only stalker experience

Play the canon games first

[grizzled elk]

You are just baiting at this point lol

[blazing lichen]

What

[ruby citrus]

bad comparison still

[blazing lichen]

If you can't see the damage these gamma YouTubers are doing then your lost cause

[grizzled elk]

It's not

[grizzled elk]

Muh gatekeep

[blazing lichen]

Stalker is NOT single player arma or tarkov have you played the games ?

[blazing lichen]

Good

[ruby citrus]

it is, Gmod isn't a half-life mod in the same sense that gamma's a stalker mod

[grizzled elk]

Which GAMMA is none of those.

[blazing lichen]

Sorry I want fans to experience the actual games

Gamma is nothing like stalker

Replay the trilogy

[grizzled elk]

Which technically you shouldn't be talking about GAMMA but Anomaly since GAMMA is just a modpack for Anomaly

[blazing lichen]

Cotz > anomaly if anything

[grizzled elk]

Bro 💀

[ruby citrus]

gmod is a mod of half life in the same sense that portal 1 is - it isn't, it's a separate game built on source using half-life resources

[distant maple]

what good freeplay mods are there

[ruby citrus]

Call of the Zone, Return to the North, Legend Returns, Old World

[distant maple]

thank you for not saying anomaly like everywhere else ive asked

[ruby citrus]

you can mod the shit out of anomaly too, though i do not recommend

[blazing lichen]

Cotz has such a good og trilogy feel compared to anomaly

Esp with the clear sky atmosphere mod

[distant maple]

clear sky was awesome

[blazing lichen]

Fr

[distant maple]

idk why people hate on it

they are stupid or smth

[blazing lichen]

It's cool to hate on things

[distant maple]

litterally the best game in the trillogy

[ruby citrus]

maybe, but SoC and CoP are better

[blazing lichen]

Hell drewski at first didn't even list it in his prep for stalker 2 vid haha

[blazing lichen]

Extremely debatable

[ruby citrus]

i will do things to you

[neat gorge]

CS was something in the middle

[distant maple]

thats drewski though

[blazing lichen]

CS > SOC > COP

[rich knot]

It's CS=SoC > CoP

[blazing lichen]

I wish CoP was longer felt pretty short

[distant maple]

CS > CoP > SoC

[distant maple]

it was the best mechanically but i wish it had a bigger scope

[neat gorge]

did we all just forget that CS and CoP are just addons to SoC

[blazing lichen]

Fr honestly

[neat gorge]

thats why call of chernobyl exists

[rich knot]

It would be nice to have more pripyat missions

[neat gorge]

based on CoP + some additional mechanics

and freeplay

best combination

cant wait for OpenXRay support for CoC

[distant maple]

im going to call chernobyl and tell them to come take you

[ruby citrus]

CS simply doesn't feel like stalker, it has terrible pacing, lighter atmosphere, almost no mutant encounters and lonely moments, faction war is broken, the starting swamp sequence is too long and everything it does good CoP does better

[neat gorge]

exactly

[distant maple]

ybababababa

shush

[blazing lichen]

Idk I was killing hundreds of mutants in CS

[distant maple]

same

[blazing lichen]

I'd have to load up CS when I'm home to see how much

[distant maple]

i kept getting jumped

[blazing lichen]

CoP felt extremely empty in alot of ways

[distant maple]

call of pripyat was sick but like, the zone felt like there was barely anyone there and the game i too short

[blazing lichen]

Fr I wish it had time to cook a little longer

[distant maple]

plus its the easiest stalker game

[ruby citrus]

the zone felt like there was barely anyone there
people when actual stalker atmosphere 😭😭

[blazing lichen]

SoC had more people

Same with CS

[distant maple]

yeah lmao

[ruby citrus]

only two interesting mutant encounters in the story, agroprom undergrounds and red forest

[blazing lichen]

???

[idle matrix]

On the contrary, you will encounter mutants every 20 seconds when walking across most of the maps, it just makes you numb to seeing them

[distant maple]

and idc about atmosphere i want smth to do

[blazing lichen]

Countless snorks, dogs etc

[distant maple]

you can have a sick atmosphere but if theres nobody to shoot whats the point

[ruby citrus]

no it didn't?? CS has like 10 times more people than SoC did

[idle matrix]

My dog and boar kill count would be enough to depopulate the zone

[blazing lichen]

Fair I haven't played it in awhile

I'm thankful cop had less monolith to kill though

[distant maple]

clear sky is alot more fun with having to help your faction in the wars

[blazing lichen]

Wiped out freedom

[neat gorge]

exactly

it wasnt fun

[blazing lichen]

I can't wait for the dead sky standalone mod for clear sky

[idle matrix]

Anyway I like clear sky but I don't think it quite hits the highs of SoC

[blazing lichen]

I wonder if in the future we can port the quests etc of the og into new stalker 2 engine

It would be nice to see

[distant maple]

i mean people did it into arma

and then never updated the mod

and then it died

[blazing lichen]

Stalker arma mod ?

[distant maple]

yeah

[blazing lichen]

I gotta try it lol

[distant maple]

theres mods that add stalker gear and stuff

[blazing lichen]

Arma 2 ? Or 3?

[distant maple]

used to be shadow of chernobyl in arma but it doesnt work anymore

[distant maple]

3

i did duty antistasi once 😭

[blazing lichen]

Stalker with arma ballistics would be Interesting

[rich knot]

The lead modder said he is speed running development and it will most likely be done before S2 HoC

[ruby citrus]

porting over the trilogy to S2 would be too much work for no reason, i'm more excited about the future total conversions UE5 will bring

[neat gorge]

arent arma ballistics r horrible

[blazing lichen]

I can't wait

[blazing lichen]

No

I don't think so atleast

[distant maple]

how much crack have you been smoking lmao

[neat gorge]

i dont play infantry on arma sorry

[blazing lichen]

Tank main ?

[neat gorge]

just armored vehicles

[distant maple]

antistasi ultimate lets you play as the stalker factions

its not fully fleshed out but its pretty cool nonetheless

[neat gorge]

my autistic ass cant land any of the aircraft without critically damaging them

[distant maple]

i spent like 4000 hours in arma in only the helicopters

[upbeat coral]

Gamma 2

[ruby citrus]

feat. Syak

[distant maple]

if that happens im going to find grok's house and set it on fire

[weary mulch]

so i tried the new patch for gunslinger you guys sent me, fps drops still happen unfortunately...

[stray pebble]

odd

[distant maple]

slap ur pc really hard

and then it will be awake

and not slow

[stray pebble]

i don't have any idea what could be causing it

[stray pebble]

i doubt they have an official discord server though, would the C-Consciousness discord be able to help?

[weary mulch]

i dunno im giving up for today atleast.. maybe ill try ask them at some point but thanks a lot for the help!

[weary mulch]

sooooo i tried using directx 9 instead of 10-11 and it seems to have done the trick been running for over an hour now with no drops in fps🥳 the caviat is the game looks a bit worse but im a happy camper!

[neon socket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU5OHDwwYwE

Anyone up to port this haha

(bloodsucker on a bicycle mod)

[versed monolith]

What is the best grass settings in stalker Anomaly 🤔

[neon socket]

What this needs is to cheese around the limitations. No new texture files, right? So edit the current bloodsucker texture to include the needed texture file and rework the UV

EZ PZ

[neat dune]

champplayz has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[blazing lichen]

Ask in the anomaly server

[upbeat coral]

grass off

[upbeat coral]

C-Con is NLC fanclub masked as modding group

[rich knot]

So your part of a NLC 7 fan club but you haven't played the game yet

[neon socket]

Okay I have a few ideas for mods for console, but I can't make them because I don't have a console to test them out on (Well I do have a PS4 but I don't want to buy the stalker trilogy for the 4th time (yes I bought DVD, Steam, GoG))
Well I can actually make the mods but someone else would have to test.

1. Texture change to return the old font (UI folder)
2. Krovosos mod port (rework model and textures to add the required colors for the bike in one texture without adding new files)
3. Return cut Steve Blum Wish Granter voice over (rename a bunch of files, v2 would be to remix the audio so it sounds like the final result)
4. Replace Russian voices with Ukrainian voices. Only available for stalkers, freedom, ecologists (Copy files from Ukrainian localization to the base folder)
5. Port OWR, basically new weapon models and animations
6. Port Absolute series textures and foliage models
7. Port Mystery (i.e. Misery textures)

Yeah these are simple, but it's a start. I think console players would really like to have OWR and Absolute series for better graphics. Would have to get in touch with CrommCruac and whoever was the team lead for OWR.

Just putting these ideas out there for modders to think about.

[upbeat coral]

I cant play it

[final tapir]

Validation Failed. Please see below to fix invalid input:

[pale trail]

is anyone else not able to download the blind dog mod on xbox or just me

[stray pebble]

i wouldn't know since i don't have the console version

though there's probably some day one issues with implementing these features with the website so i'd give it a bit

[sullen lance]

Any chance the new mod support will enable support for better closed captions/subtitles or are we just permanently SOL on that?

[stray pebble]

modding for the console games will involve the following

Textures

Sound

Models

Animations

Video

nothing that involves actually changing the scripting or the code of the game for safety reasons

[pale trail]

wdym safety reasons?

[stray pebble]

the xray engine is unstable enough as it is, but with mods if something goes wrong it's not as easy as opening task manager on PC, it's different for consoles

if something bricks that's something they can't prevent

[wise badge]

MODDING!!!!

HAHAHAHA!!!! YES!!!!!!

[wise badge]

Thank god I can finally make the AS VAL right-handed

Damn only 3 mods rn

[hoary atlas]

Are there no mods yet for clear sky or call of Prypiat for console can only see 3 for shadow of Chernobyl

[ebon tusk]

if you cant see them we cant see them

[idle matrix]

Well the support only just released this morning, it will take some time for people to package the mods and then submit them and then for them to be approved for listing

[stray pebble]

yeah it'll be some time before people push out some content for the mod site

[restive crest]

Is it possible to change gun accuracy, damage, health, etc with these mods or no? Sorry I’m very new to it

[stray pebble]

that's also scripting

so no

it's all just visual and sound stuff

[vapid jewel]

when will more mods for the LOZ on console possibly come out? sorry if this is a redundant question

ah nvm, i see the answer above

sorries

[desert eagle]

Could you hypothetically add more guns by taking existing guns and reskinning them?

[tidal current]

I allready upload two mods, but it not work... help with mod.io

[ruby citrus]

Not really, they would be the same mechanically, only the visuals would change

[desert eagle]

That’s what I mean

But also still keep the original gun

[ruby citrus]

Nope

[desert eagle]

Ah damn

[ruby citrus]

You can change TOZ to look like an RPG, but it will keep shooting bullets

[ebon tusk]

they need to be approved by the moderation

[tidal current]

How many time need to moderation?

I want to create many modellingand animation fixes in Blender with x-ray plugin.

[ebon tusk]

🤷‍♂️

[austere bison]

Click "Black Market" addon on MO2. Problem fixed.

[shrewd flame]

Is the CNPP part in VoA just ||pushing again and again towards the generators until you eventually get teleported back and have to start all over again ? How can I break the cycle ? Is Messer Sisyphus? Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Help please||

[upbeat coral]

Drop all your stuff

you wont need it

and then run to northern part of the powerplant and enter it

keep some energy drinks if you have them

[upbeat coral]

bad choice

play Road to the North

[shrewd flame]

Never seen any energy drink in VoA

[jaunty thistle]

Can we have audio files of a different length for the LotZ modding? Or does it have to be the same.

[ruby citrus]

just buy a BTR and ride on it lmao

[tiny shell]

Aight, time to retexture the energy drinks into tropic thunder booty sweat

[mighty fossil]

Would changing the fov be possible as a mod

Got at these new textures for hands and weapons

But can’t see em 💀

[modest tiger]

would new weapons be able to be added?

[mighty fossil]

Console btw

[mighty fossil]

Nope

[modest tiger]

damn hopefully in the future

[mighty fossil]

New models and textures sure

[mighty fossil]

Prob not unless they change it

Very unfortunate indeed

But better than nothing

I’m just wondering if fov change is possible

It technically should just be a simple ini file change

[ruby citrus]

no

[ruby citrus]

no

[modest tiger]

you can't really tell but i'm currently screaming and crying right now

worst news ever

[mighty fossil]

Ini files aren’t available to be changed either 😭

Wtf lmao Jesus

Damn man what is this implementation

[ruby citrus]

PC stays winning

[mighty fossil]

Facts lmao

Well Bethesdas mods are good

And armas

But Jesus stalker is bout limited asf

Maybe they will change some things down the line

But then again stalker 2 would def be out by then

So ggs

[tiny shell]

Arma reforger stalker isn’t that bad lol

[ruby citrus]

?

[tiny shell]

Someone ported bunch of stuff from soc, console can play with that if they want more modding than reskin

[inland socket]

Is there any testing on the go for this game?

[blazing lichen]

which game? soc, cs, cop, s2?

[inland socket]

S2

[jaunty thistle]

Not currently, although demos have been present at gaming conventions.

[inland socket]

Thank you

[idle matrix]

It's pretty unlikely that there will be a publicly available demo, though I wouldn't go as far as to say impossible

[jaunty thistle]

From the sounds of it, the game is structured in a way where it would be possible, as you don't unlock all of the map at once.

[shrewd flame]

My last 10 saves are now corrupted for no reason

I LOVE stalker

[idle matrix]

Potentially, but it can be quite a lot of work on the part of the developers, which is time not spent preparing the game itself for final release

[jaunty thistle]

it's not a bug, it's a feature

[jaunty thistle]

Yeah true

[shrewd flame]

yeah, right ?

[weary mulch]

oh yea im playing that mod at some point for sure. 🤘

[upbeat coral]

Play it

Now

[idle matrix]

A painful but enjoyable experience

[weak gate]

very, and very

[stray pebble]

don't speak to me

[upbeat coral]

So true bestie

[cinder oxide]

Grok doesn't deserve the hate wtf

I don't like his game but damn

[upbeat coral]

He isnt Habar tho

So

We can

Because Sid loves us

[prime jetty]

are there any good clear sky mods out there

i like its faction warfare but i kinda want it tweaked to be more total war rather than neutral factions just coсkblocking each other

[ebon tusk]

The Faction Wars

[ruby citrus]

reborn

[idle matrix]

Reborn if you want peak Slavic modding yes

[upbeat coral]

Global War
Best mod

[rich knot]

Global war is based on Call of Chornobyl not clear sky tho

[neon socket]

They'd need to trim most of the game assets to remove spoilers. That's hard, especually since you'd need to know which assets to remove without breaking the game.

[lapis stratus]

hey so are standalone mods gonna be ok

[idle matrix]

Mostly yes I think so

[lapis stratus]

i just hope a purge of content doesnt happen

[stray pebble]

they literally just posted in the media tab an upcoming mod, so i don't think that's gonna happen lol

[shrewd spruce]

Clear Sky ABR
if you can put up with some strange decisions like no carry weight, not joining bandits and not being able to use the gun you find on the tank in the red forest

[blazing lichen]

All mods gonna do is put in hey buy the game's this is a non canon fan creation don't worry they won't be like rockstar

[shadow kindle]

Not being able to use that thing is a crime

[shrewd spruce]

true
id use another modpack but i can't figure out a better one

[ebon tusk]

SRP

[rich knot]

The problem with SRP is that you lose your starter AK

[stray pebble]

that is the one issue i have with it, yeah

[lapis stratus]

sounds good

[stray pebble]

okay yeah so i found the one post and had it go through translation cause i couldn't find the original

but it basically boils down to giving disclaimers that they aren't affiliated with GSC and they have to put a spot on the main menu of the mod that has links to all the places to buy the base games and stuff

which i'm all for, it gives newcomers a place to find the original games

so all those big tactislop mods out there need to have it in lol

and here i was just mentioning the other day how it would be great if big mods had "splash screens" of sorts showing off the original games before you play the mod as a means to strongly recommend going through those first before playing the mod

but having them be a part of the main menu showing them to buy is just as good

seems like a fair trade off for being able to make a free standalone game

anywho it's off to bed for me, i'll see you all later

[uncut fulcrum]

hello, why npc doesn't shoot the boar?

this is my mod list

[grave hamlet]

Anyone on console getting crashes from the "Ultimate mod"

My game wont even load in it just crashes.

[neon socket]

Happened to me as well, you're not alone.

[grave hamlet]

ah ok semi good XD the reskins at least work. Just the ultimate mod seems to be causing issues (ps4 on ps5)

[tall moth]

I wish they add a mod that can fix the zulu mission in SOC cuz GSC aren't fixing it

[ruby citrus]

ZRP?

[tall moth]

What's ZRP?

[ruby citrus]

Zone Reclamation Project, a bug fix for SoC

[stray pebble]

among other things

[tall moth]

I don't know if it's on console yet i play on xbox series X and I'm buying a PC this sunday

[ruby citrus]

no, it's not on consoles and won't be there

[tall moth]

So you're telling me this glitch is on pc too?

But nevermind I'll be playing anomaly or gamma on pc so i won't bother😂

[ruby citrus]

play some better mods

[tall moth]

Yeah ofc efp and the other story mods are sick

Is installing gamma really as hard as people say it its or what?

[ruby citrus]

efp isn't a better mod

[ruby citrus]

no, it's just an installer

[tall moth]

[tall moth]

Damn

[upbeat coral]

Horrendous choice of mods

YOU ARE GOING TO C-CON!

[abstract spade]

Sentenced to 100%ing OP2.2 for his crimes

[ruby citrus]

[upbeat coral]

So true bestie

Anyways

Copypasta time

[upbeat coral]

YOU ASKED ME ABOUT MY GOOD GROK CHARM, REMEMBER?
ITS AN EMPTY GAMMA
DECIDED TO PLAY OPERATOR?! WITH ME?!
DMYTRO AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING ABOUT A CERTAIN SURVIVAL WE FOUND IN THE ZONE
BUT WE CANT QUITE SEEM TO GET ALL THE MODS TO FIT
MAYBE YOU CAN GROK IT OUT
IT REMINDED ME THAT WE USED TO BE CHUDS
I TOOK JUST ONE AWKWARD STEP AND MY WHOLE WORLD PLUNGED INTO IMMERSION
IM SORRY, DEMOSFEN
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....
THAT WAS THE DAY THE MODDB FIELDS WERE TURNED OFF
SUDDENLY, THE VOICE OF DREWSKI WAS GONE!
I FELT AS IF I WAS AWAKENING FROM A YEARS-LONG GAMMA!
AND THROUGH THE SCOPE, I SAW THE BODY OF AN UNKNOWN MODDER FALL
WE HAVE A SIMPLE CHOICE!
SIT BACK, AND JUST WAIT FOR ANOTHER MODDB CRASH
OR TAKE A CHANCE, AND GET CONTROL OF THE MODIFICATIONS
ONLY I DIDNT CHOOSE THAT MODULARITY
UNLIKE YOU

[gleaming flume]

[vapid gorge]

Console cop mods pls

[upbeat coral]

Oh come on
I cant cut the teaser in half
Strider especially

[young fable]

is there way to unpack old build SoC files?

[remote pike]

Yes

Either ask in C-Con server

Or ask chatgpt

Both will give you good answers

With instructions

[young fable]

thanks

also,does anyone know why the weapon duplicated when adding the scopes code to the ltx?

only the green scope are attachable

[noble basalt]

in the wpn_sig550_acog_hud class, ain't you supposed to refer to the base_hud of the sig550? and define the item_visual to whatever the .ogf name of the sig550 acog then

looks like this:

[young fable]

hmmm... let me try it

[young fable]

cant attach it

[grave hamlet]

"Ultimate mod" now working on PS5.

Also includes better glove and arm textures.

[mint vigil]

Not here too

[mint vigil]

Leave copy pasta for other channels

[upbeat coral]

oh come on

it was to theme

[remote pike]

Yeah but people here are only looking for answers to their questions:(

Can tell from experience

[upbeat coral]

[mint vigil]

think it through and you'll know why I asked

[upbeat coral]

thinking is hard

im simple man

i see gamma chud

:3

[young fable]

CoP Weapon anim for Old World Addon

[remote pike]

@crude cloak

[blazing lichen]

Based af

[young fable]

Sadly,the p90 is broken

And i dont know how to fix it.

Only cop weapon and nimble special weapon such as SVD Lynx,Predator,Chase 13 Trapper,etc.

[tame blade]

Can someone make an increased carrying capacity mod for Xbox?

[stray pebble]

that would involve changing the code, so no

[crude cloak]

Thanks for pinging me, this is godly

[ruby citrus]

impossible with the given limitations

[tame blade]

Dang

[spring fog]

just wondering if there are any good mods to play thru before stalker 2.
i know theres lots out there that add/give different story to the old games
I heard one called like fallout something for clear sky

[rich knot]

Last fallout Overhaul(LFO)?
LFO is overhaul mod for Clear Sky

[idle matrix]

Well there are some good mods. Obviously anything that isn't vanilla is not canon though

[spring fog]

ye that

[spring fog]

ye ik that

[ebon tusk]

Return to the Zone

[remote pike]

spatial anomaly

it has new everything

[spring fog]

ok thx

[idle matrix]

Incubator and Dreamcatcher

[ruby citrus]

have a chart
https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1719415006912776.png

[ruby citrus]

personal recommendations: Oblivion Lost Remake, Spatial Anomaly, Valley of Whispers, Goldsphere, Return to the Zone, Legend Returns, SFZ Project, Wind of Time, Dreamcatcher

[spring fog]

thx

[upbeat coral]

A lot
Some of the better stuff would be:
Vector of Alienation
Secrets of Cordon
Thorny Way
Spatial Anomaly
Goldsphere
Return to the Zone
Road to the North
Game of Souls
Messenger
Bad Company
Sins of the Legend

:3

Also Incubator

That one is important to play before Dremcatcher

Because DC contains major spoilers about protagonist of Incubator

I forgot to mention you can read more in my ultra epic and totally unbiased review list

Link is in pinned

[cinder oxide]

@upbeat coral you should link your mod reviews in your discord bio

[full hare]

how do you install mods on xbox

[ancient wind]

thanks mombanger45

[full hare]

bru what

[upbeat coral]

Pretty sure the link is too long
Ill probably setup a link tree

[quick star]

if you havent tried memories of the zone i urge you to try it

best remaster of soc

[shrewd spruce]

i tried it and it's very good but it crashes a lot at chernobyl
though you can work around it with suggestions in the comments online or on reddit posts

in the comments on the moddb page, someone shares a video guide for remastering SOC with a few mods, using the improved OGSR engine and even de-russifying the dialogue audio
it's a long and complicated process but the guide is extremely good, involving changing some scripts manually which ive never done but i got through it no problems thanks to the guide

[quick star]

he asked for mods to try i assume after playing the trilogy

memories of the zone is far from the best mod for first playthrough

youre better off making your own mod list

zrp, fov switcher and some texture mods is my way to go for all 3 games

[shrewd spruce]

in any case it sounds like they wanted story altering mods and those don't do it

[quick star]

i mean misery is the best i can think of

but its not for me

[upbeat coral]

Eww
Misery

[cloud umbra]

i dont understand why we cant modify the scripts

its just lua

[blazing lichen]

its most likely sony being weird tbh as modding on xbox is alot more free

[cloud umbra]

like, its also a replacement, just like replacing textures and sounds

[ebon tusk]

MOTZ is an outdated mod repack, and first playthrus should always be done with the least ammount of mods as you can

[prime jetty]

i think playing modded at all for your first playthrough is a crime

[ruby citrus]

true!

[idle matrix]

I always give things a fair try vanilla

[prime jetty]

why put tobasco on your steak before you even took your first bite

[ancient wind]

this sentence pissed me off

[stray pebble]

man he straight jorkin that spas 12

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but textures cant exactly do anything malicious
Scripts can

[quick star]

zrp and a little something

[ebon tusk]

like I said, it is advised to not have anything, if it is necessary due to strange issues, ZRP at most

[neat dune]

gnjeno23 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[quick star]

oh

[quick star]

cant say bullcrap on a server about stalker lol

[quick star]

not really anyones business on how someone plays a game, also when i said a little something i meant like a retexture or fov switcher

[prime jetty]

for fov just use console iirc

if you hate being clowned on for your choices in how you play the game, youll hate the stalker community

[quick star]

im not surprised, im not new to the community, its just insane that people look at others as "not real fans" if they mod their games

[quick star]

i like the fov switcher better since it changes the viewmodel also

[prime jetty]

its community backlash from people playing anomaly and other mods and thinking its real stalker

there have been people here that thought anomaly was the only stalker game

[ruby citrus]

mods completely alter the game, so why not

uhhghh what location are you at

does it say anything else??? i only played OLR 2.5, don't remember much

they mean the documents maybe? well, search there then

or look up a guide

all of them?

there are 3 of them in total iirc

can you give me a screenshot of what it says

[quick star]

sure but what does that have to do with people who actually care about the story or the trilogy

[prime jetty]

Because modded is frankly more popular

[quick star]

someone who just cant get through soc and cs because of how buggy they are should be free to use mods if they dont alter the gameplay or story and still be welcome in the community

[prime jetty]

And you get people that think anomalies are against what the series stands for

And that radiation is "annoying"

[prime jetty]

I genuinely never encountered major bugs in either

[quick star]

youre still talking about anomaly players who dont care for the story

[prime jetty]

And ive never played them modded

[quick star]

soc yantar

when you need to get the mesurments with that scientis

scientist

he cant exit the bunker for some people

zrp is pretty much needed for soc

in my oppinion

[prime jetty]

If zrp only fixed bugs id agree

[quick star]

and personal preferences like eye height

or head bob

i mean head bob was reduced in 1.006

[ebon tusk]

Like I said, one should use as little mods, ZRP isnt needed unless you have an edge case and it wont run on your pc
ZRP isnt really a patch, its a qol mod that adds stuff into the game and makes changes

[quick star]

did see you say that anywhere but alr

[prime jetty]

This

[quick star]

also ive been saying this the whole time

but ok

[quick star]

makes changes?

its up to you

[prime jetty]

I wouldnt mind people recommending zrp for first playthroughs if it was a patch and not QoL

[quick star]

by default it doesnt change any gameplay features

[ebon tusk]

it is very annoying that ZRP does additions, since I also think that many of its fixes are needed

[ebon tusk]

freeplay

[quick star]

you need to enable them first

[ebon tusk]

this is not default

[quick star]

what free play?

after the game?

[ebon tusk]

it also makes lingual changes that are of debatable value

[ebon tusk]

yes

this is an adition, it is not smth the game has

[quick star]

doesnt alter the story or gameplay at all

you can just choose to free play

[prime jetty]

Freeplay is a huge alteration to gameplay

[ebon tusk]

it completely fucks up the story has it plops you awkwardly in a field and undermines the story

[quick star]

doesnt change the experience at all
