this is mort priypat not chernoybyl

[silk summit]

Is there a way to find out how items have durability? I wanted to get into modding and was going to start adding durability to other weapon or equipment parts. Spent time searching a couple discords, other mod scripts, and the anomaly modding book. Really not sure how to start?

[ruby citrus]

ask on C-con server

[upbeat coral]

log please

[austere bison]

lol. Where’s your 500,000 people project then

[cinder oxide]

My project only requires 1 person

That's how good I am

[upbeat coral]

there goes the based-ness

[cinder oxide]

Precisely 500,000 times better than you

[upbeat coral]

People need to have some f*cking respect

the OP is Grok

[keen crag]

can’t believe they’re adding Black Ops 3 to Stalker …

[austere bison]

Can’t take 2nd degree jokes

[neat dune]

grokitach has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[austere bison]

Also random ad hominem attack based on bull

[austere bison]

Cool for you brother.

About the cooking, it’s simply easier to have a system based on 2 cooking items than having the “base cooking” through right clicking meat, “upgrade cooking” through right clicking one tool and “best cooking” based on another tool. Also instead of right clicking meats and clicking cook, you just open 1 UI with all recipes and batch cook tons of food at once, much more practical

[upbeat coral]

2nd degree?

[austere bison]

If anything having only one cooking tool would be better. But the red stove thing is nice because it gates rather nicely the best recipes

[austere bison]

Something French people always do. You say one thing, but it must be understood in an ironic manner. But you say it seriously and that’s the funny part

[ebon tusk]

smth smth rats

Ho sorry, that's only for Parisiense's

[austere bison]

Yeah Paris people are terrible and Paris is dog water

[upbeat coral]

so basically you take something obviously meant as joke but say it with stone face and thats the joke?

[ebon tusk]

So true brother

[austere bison]

Yes

[upbeat coral]

damn
you frenchies are weird

[austere bison]

And this rarely goes well in online chats

[upbeat coral]

tell me about it

[restive sinew]

soappy reshade

[mossy ivy]

i heard this was a bug but i have to returne papers to the bar in shadow of Chernobyl but the bar is angry ay me i did not anger them and i heard there was a mod to fix this

[ruby citrus]

did you kill the Skull group or smth?

[mossy ivy]

Nah it’s my first play through and I just was following the quest line I’m write after the you would kill this like fire monster in a lab area and then have to return the papers you got to the bar

[patent apex]

mhm

[ancient wind]

500,000?

[upbeat coral]

500.000 gigabytes

[ancient wind]

is grok genuinely claiming he has 500,000 people working on GAMMA

[upbeat coral]

no he meant 500k members in his discord

[ancient wind]

thats not a 500,000 people project then lmao

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[ancient wind]

grokked out rn

[upbeat coral]

french numerals
or something like that ig

[blazing lichen]

Imagine if 500,000 people were working on stalker

Greatest game series on earth

[ancient wind]

its impossible to manage a team that large

no business even has that many employees

[blazing lichen]

Fr

Wait not even amazon?

Walmart ?

McDonald's gotta

[ancient wind]

okay well a company that's working on a project

[patent apex]

gamma is the new Walmart

[ancient wind]

retail stores can have a billion employees and it's not hard to manage

[patent apex]

3000 human rights violations per hour

[rich knot]

500,000 cigarettes

[patent apex]

finnish meal

[patent apex]

I think Ubisoft has the most with 19000

[abstract spade]

And not a single one of them can make a good game

[upbeat coral]

omg
T-64

[dire pecan]

Can anyone here help me quickly apply new material to the model?

[subtle plank]

Is there a better mod(pack) for Clear Sky than LFO?
I keep getting softlooks where I cant press buttons, the save system is horrid and I just dont really have fun (Next step would be to go to Cordon for the first time).
Should I just skip the game?

[ebon tusk]

its called SRP

why are you playing LFO as a first time?

[subtle plank]

yea

played SoC and some Anomaly

[ancient wind]

wouldn't recommend modded for first playthrough

well maybe for clear sky

[ebon tusk]

Play the OG games as vanilla as possible for your first playthru, and for CS play with SRP

[upbeat coral]

ewww
SRP

[idle matrix]

Eh. Just the base SRP install is good about only fixing bugs

[subtle plank]

This argument is always based on the asumption, that ill replay the game. But not even I know, if ill replay it or not

[ebon tusk]

wdym
you were asking for a mod to play clear sky werent you

[subtle plank]

I mean that ill still mod CoP for the first playthrough, cause ill likely enjoy it more with mods. And I also dont mind modding CS as much as possible, as long as it doesnt change the story or adds or rebuilds systems

[ebon tusk]

I dont understand why youd say you will "likely enjoy it more", if you havent played it to begin with to know if you like it or not

which is a weird stance to take

[subtle plank]

The game is like 15 years old, it has flaws. Even if that fact isnt enough, if I see a mod that says it fixes an Issue or enhances graphics, why would I not add it

[ebon tusk]

to see and experience the game as it is, in its purest form without the possibility for external changes like many mods do

[subtle plank]

Why would I want that

[ebon tusk]

it is also very hard to form a complete and unbiased opinion on a certain game with mods installed since at that point you are reviewing the game with the mods more so than the mod itself which then begs the question if you liked the game itself or if you liked the mod that you played

[ebon tusk]

bc you wanted to play stalker?

[patent apex]

there's not a problem with wanting to play stalker without gamebreaking bugs or small QoL changes

[subtle plank]

Not sure how that would have any relevant priority.

[ebon tusk]

patches like SRP sure, but we are talking mods, and LFO is not a patch mod

[subtle plank]

and it isnt stalker if I mod it?

[patent apex]

LFO changes CS quite a bit, but it's fine if you aren't interested in CS to mod it

[ebon tusk]

no, Gunslinger for example inst stalker, it is gunslinger, since it rebalances the game with its own mind and is completely understandable if you enjoy it more than the game itself, because it is a completely diff thing

LFO isnt Clear Sky it is LFO which is its own creation with its own priorities and its own gameplay and balancing

[patent apex]

just don't go in expecting vanilla CS and don't come out treating it like vanilla CS and it's fine

[ruby citrus]

why are people deathly afraid of experiencing artwork, why do you feel the need to "enhance" and change everything, why are you working under the assumption that this game wasn't designed by competent developers to engage with you, this isn't Skyrim anymore, you can rest

[idle matrix]

The mods only exist because the base game was already compelling

[ruby citrus]

i can at some level understand feeling that you won't enjoy the game as much as you would with some additions, but why does it always go with this weirdo language of games "aging", with this kinda consumerist approach to media

i'm not even saying that you do this, just, why so defensive against experiences??

[abstract spade]

If developers aren't adding new pink AK skins and two gigabytes of bloatware every month it means the game is unplayable

[abstract spade]

If you really want to mod it try STCS Redux, it comes with SRP and a lot of guns.
And LFO is the worst way to experience it for first time

[subtle plank]

Just to clarify, I tried SRP and its way better then LFO. i was told LFO is Vanilla+ but it really isnt

[ebon tusk]

yhea, SRP is a patcher, LFO is a total conversion
at most what SRP will do for balancing is return the game to a prior patch for one sequence (you no longer get an AK at the start of the game, which was introduced in patch 1.5.10)

it is questionable why they do it, it still is an addition made by devs, but its understandable

[dire pecan]

St. Michael's Church

[young fable]

Next weapon will be added

[light mango]

somehow I can't make fresh Anomaly 1.5.2 work with a few mods (4-5), is there another big standalone mod like Anomaly which is supported in a similar way?

[ebon tusk]

I dont know what you mean

with "supported"

[young fable]

me too

[light mango]

lot of mods

[young fable]

are you asking how to install addons for Anomaly?

[ebon tusk]

COTZ or base COC

[blazing lichen]

COTZ goes so hard

[placid briar]

glorified cop udp modification

[young fable]

wait does CoP had auto USP upgrades?

[placid briar]

yes

[young fable]

no shot

[blazing lichen]

ayo? never knew

[young fable]

what GSC thinking in 2009

[blazing lichen]

[young fable]

interesting

[blazing lichen]

machine pistols go so hard

[young fable]

Mini UMP

[placid briar]

martha and sip had 3 round burst

[young fable]

ik that

maybe Walker too?

[placid briar]

yeah also

that usp seems op af

but its late game only

[young fable]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Bozar
imagine this came to the final game

[placid briar]

💀

[young fable]

never heard of it but when i use OWA Sprys Uniques..

its full automatic SVD

[blazing lichen]

Report any issues

[cinder oxide]

Nah SRP fricks with the game too much

[cinder oxide]

It's gorgeous

[ebon tusk]

continue

[young fable]

thank you

[cinder oxide]

I might be thinking of another mod, but it messed with the inventory system and economy

And made the weapons act a bit different

[ebon tusk]

youre thinking of ABR most likely, SRP is a patcher, and it does really well to walk that line

[cinder oxide]

Oh ABR

Yeah that must be it

I tried it and hated it

The pistol sights were good but otherwise it was too much

Jumk height was freaky too iirc

[ebon tusk]

well ABR isnt supposed to be a vanilla+ mod, its the mod makers view of what CS should be, a shooter with no nuance

[cinder oxide]

Yep

Speaking of mods, does OGSE have a different story?

Like substantially

If not, I'll just play SoC again

[ebon tusk]

OGSE makes substantial changes to the story, if youre thinking of playing OGSE you should play OGSR Legacy since its just OGSE but polished up

[cinder oxide]

Is OGSR itself it's own story?

[upbeat coral]

[idle matrix]

OGSE/OGSR add a bunch of new stuff into SOC, I wouldn't exactly call it it's own separate thing

[cinder oxide]

Is it worth playing more than just another SoC run

[upbeat coral]

Too bad
Messenger time

[idle matrix]

If you want to experience some new things then sure I would say so

New quests and locations etc

[upbeat coral]

[ebon tusk]

it uses the base of the SOC story but after a while it breaks away from it and adds new elements, to tie in the new locations and groups it also adds like the anti artifacts group in the darkscape etc etc
the changes are very substantial

[cinder oxide]

Oh neat

[blazing lichen]

Idk how to fix that

[upbeat coral]

Does anti artifact group glue themselves to Anomalous zones so you cant artifact hunt there?
If not
Then they are pretty lame

[ebon tusk]

they have a ministory but aside from that, they are inconsequential, after all, they are mentally handicapped idiots

[upbeat coral]

Damn
They should glue their hands to Sids door so you cant deliver artifacts
But being a typical incompetent anti-something group, they would glue themselves in a way where it crushes their hands every time the door opens

[blazing lichen]

you need psy helm

keep doing main quests and itll come

i got mine from clearsky in the swamp

yes

keep doing main story quests

cotz is fully dynamic

[patent apex]

join em

ecologist

[upbeat coral]

Guess it is untill you turn Scorcher off

[patent apex]

(randomized and will screw you over at least once)

I love getting a quest to hunt monolith in outskirts as my third quest

[blazing lichen]

i just tell them i cant do it if its not possible

[placid briar]

guys can you change weapon stats via files?

[ebon tusk]

Yes

[placid briar]

yay

[ebon tusk]

Unpack the game files then place the modified files in the game data folder

[light mango]

hi, good standalone mod which is not based on Anomaly?

[patent apex]

@upbeat coral

[upbeat coral]

Literally any mod

[patent apex]

oh lmao

try alternateA

[upbeat coral]

Only downside of being faster than light is that you always live in darkness

[upbeat coral]

Pinned messages
Second message, second link

Thats mods on quality of which I can speak

[upbeat coral]

AlternativA is pretty cool but its pretty rough for rookies
Not good starter mod
Especially after mods that require minimal mental capacity such as Anomaly

[light mango]

" Anomaly CoP (OXR-Monolith) YES Here Nuh uh, go play RTTN 4/10 Seal of disapproval 😠 Abysmal dogshit popularized by tarkov clowns "

I laughed 😂

[upbeat coral]

[light mango]

Honestly, my problems with Anomaly and Gamma is that those are ridiculously hard and also my old hardware want to launch to the moon 😂

[upbeat coral]

They arent ridiculously hard

[neat dune]

chymo8658 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

They are easy and make up for it with laughably bad features

Like snorks turning and kicking you midair

Weapon dropping

Guns survivng precisely 50 rounds before they start to jam

Stuff like that

Oh and the ridiculous 4 meters³ hitboxes boars have

[light mango]

i just want to sate my stalker hunger until 2, checked the pinned message you mentioned @upbeat coral , might try Spatial Anomaly 🧐

[upbeat coral]

Its good
But requires CoP

[placid briar]

gazillion trash items

[upbeat coral]

And not everyone likes the way the story is told

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

Unintuitive crafting and cooking systems

[patent apex]

don't forget item and repair costs

[light mango]

you mean it is not standalone and has to buy CoP?

[rich knot]

Repair cost

[upbeat coral]

Yup

[patent apex]

it's technically standalone

[upbeat coral]

Most moda arent standalone
Since its smaller file then, and no legal issues

[rich knot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1128500530822516827.webp?size=48

[patent apex]

ooh

[upbeat coral]

Yipppeeee
Lvl 44

[cinder oxide]

Incubator is standalone

I believe Dreamcatcher us too

[upbeat coral]

Morrigan my beloved stalker waifu

[cinder oxide]

True Stalker is standalone but I don't recommend it

[patent apex]

is dollchan any good

[upbeat coral]

No

[cinder oxide]

That's the only part I didn't like really

[patent apex]

true stalker I would recommend looking at simply for the maps but it's not really interesting beyond that

[cinder oxide]

Abysmal dvgshit

[cinder oxide]

Yeah

Story was compelling for 2 seconds

Then it fell of the face of the earth

[upbeat coral]

Ehh
It has what is most likely the least trash Gunslinger variant to date
Only keeping the cool features for the most part

[upbeat coral]

Maps were cool, sidequests too

[patent apex]

true

[cinder oxide]

This is true yeah

[patent apex]

shame the rest is kinda meh and it runs on gunslinger kinda

[upbeat coral]

I didnt have issue with Alife since the scripted encounters were sufficent enough

But damn
The story went downhill

[patent apex]

disabling emissions was sad

[upbeat coral]

It started pretty good
I especially liked the Dark Valley tunnels

But then the weird protag switch...

[patent apex]

yeah that threw me off hard

areas just seem kinda gutted

[upbeat coral]

Like
I saw Axe run away
And first I thought in Chapter 7 is that he joined army and changed his name to escape Termite

I was confused as hell

[cinder oxide]

They actually surprised me yeah

[upbeat coral]

The atmosphere of the mod was good too

But the story starts dragging it down later on

Sad ngl
It had potential
Lots of it

[cinder oxide]

Idfk what ap pro was thinking when they made that final plotline

[cinder oxide]

They totally could have had axe just do this

[upbeat coral]

Well they could have done anything with him
Literally everything would be better than what they did

The soldiers motivations were weak and end if his story was even weaker than end of Axes story

God it was so underwhelming
Especially after other Ap-Pro mods

[cinder oxide]

Genuinely

They should do an update where they redo it

I don't think anyone would complain

Not a single person

[upbeat coral]

Lets just hope it wouldnt end like Lost Alpha updates where they remove fun stuff while keeping the bad things

[cinder oxide]

True

[upbeat coral]

But genuenly
If anything
Id like to see a story mod about the soldiers
They didnt het nearly enough room, a backstory would be cool

God I hate how they killed off Sky too
It was so predictable and didnt feel like punishment for players actions

The death of Yurok or whatever he was called worked so much better

[cinder oxide]

Yurok should have been the only one that died because of that group

Axe should have taken them down or leaked them

The company was just so unrealistically evil

They had an altruistic goal and sent the absolute most evil henchmen to do basic security work

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

God I hate Termite
You get like 8 chances too shoot him as 3 different protagonists

But no

:/

[placid briar]

guys where are the weapon files in CoP located?

[remote pike]

Ask in C-Con server

They know where everything is from the files

I'll send you the invite @placid briar

[dire pecan]

Gamedata-> configs -> weapons

[placid briar]

ok

[dire pecan]

If u look models:
Gamedata-> meshes -> dynamics -> weapons

[young fable]

And sounds-->weapons

[placid briar]

nice

[dire pecan]

Good luck

[young fable]

Almost forgot

textures-->wpn

[placid briar]

uhh i dont have the gamedata folder

[dire pecan]

U need unpack game)

[placid briar]

ohh

[dire pecan]

Search on the Internet. They are very easy to find

[placid briar]

ok thanks

[placid briar]

guys i cant load it

or am i doing it wrong

[remote pike]

Go to local game folder

[placid briar]

ok what now

[remote pike]

This

[dire pecan]

You have a folder into which it will unpack, most likely it will be called UEgamedata - this folder is not working, just copy the files you need from there. Next, create a gamedata folder in the root of the game - and put the files you need into it

Use only the files you need. Don't copy everything.

[placid briar]

i only have those

[dire pecan]

Wait, I’ll send you a more or less normal unpacker)

[placid briar]

ok

@dire pecan thanks it works now

[placid briar]

how do i change weapon damage? is the stat in the weapon or the ammo files?

[dire pecan]

Some parameters are located in the ammo files of the corresponding weapon, some - in the file of the weapon itself. In addition, you can configure the health of the NPCs themselves in the creatures folder.
In weapons:
hit_power = 0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4 - Damage. In this case, all bullets do the same damage, you can make the first 3 bullets different numbers (start with a big one and end with a small one 0.45, 0.42, 0.4) so that the first bullet that hits always does more damage. All remaining bullets will deal damage to the latest number.
impulse -

in ammo (weapons - file):
k_impulse = 1 - impulse indicates how strongly the bullet affects physical objects and will throw them away
k_pierce = 0.25 - Armor penetration
k_ap = 0.25 - I could be wrong, but this parameter also seems to directly affect damage, and not armor penetration

buck_shot = 15 - for shootguns, number of balls in bullet

If you need to correct the armor penetration of materials of objects at a location, use SDK to find out the exact materials of a particular surface or change them.

[placid briar]

huge thanks

[placid briar]

also last question, if i change something in the extracted gamedata file will it do the change to the game?

[woeful flax]

Hey guys I have a question, I am playing stalker anomaly and I can not find a single duty npc to make a companion anywhere in duty base, though I did with a free stalker, he is just incredibly bad and can not survive easy fights. I have 2000+ goodwill score on duty

[upbeat coral]

Iirc you can just delete the unpacked modded file and the game will revert back if thats what you mean

Anomaly world is as good as dead
Unless you ramp up the population to 3 you wont see many random npcs

Also Anomaly isnt stalker

[patent apex]

bruh

ITS A MOD FOR STALKER

mod for a mod for a mod for a mod

[patent apex]

what faction are you?

[woeful flax]

It's not official yes, but it's a community made modification of the game.

[patent apex]

it could also be you just need to wait for it to reset

[woeful flax]

duty

im like 2000+

on goodwill

[patent apex]

did you recently go to 2000

or for a while

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but usually the usage of word stalker makes it seems official to rookies
And then people like I go and laugh at them

[woeful flax]

I would say like 2-3 in game days ago, maybe less im not sure

[patent apex]

try waiting a couple days

[upbeat coral]

Again
Low population factor

[patent apex]

like 4-5

still should have a couple

[placid briar]

i mean what do i need to implement the change

[patent apex]

might be some mod

[placid briar]

do i just leave it as it is or what

[upbeat coral]

Just throw it in the gamedata with correct filepath

[placid briar]

ok

[woeful flax]

alright man, I like the actual stalker games too, no need to go 🤓 on this xD

[upbeat coral]

Its just to avoid confusion

[patent apex]

why don't people complain about true stalker more

[upbeat coral]

Because it isnt heavily marketed as "real immersive modern best insert more buzzwords stalker experience free game" by idiots on youtube

[placid briar]

gamma:

[patent apex]

listen

it could be worse

[woeful flax]

I don't play gamma

i think mods like gamma are all doghsit slop made by and for retarded westerners that dont understand the essence of stalker and turn it into wannabe tarkov

[patent apex]

I'd blame mods like misery and base anomaly

or EFP, which is literally people trying to turn it into wannabe tarkov

[placid briar]

misery is good

[patent apex]

at least gamma tries to spice up the gameplay formula

[patent apex]

I'm not saying it isn't

[placid briar]

CoP misery that is

[patent apex]

but it is famous for setting some trends

[dire pecan]

Homeless simulator

[placid briar]

black road spawn:

[gray kayak]

how do i run the game on borderless fullscreen?

[patent apex]

which one?

[gray kayak]

shadow of chernobyl

[patent apex]

if it's not in settings don't know if you can

[young fable]

True and someone even bitching about how dogshit original medkit in stalker and call it "call of duty" style medkit.

[patent apex]

praying they add back the quick medkits in stalker 2

[young fable]

Even it has animation but i think it would be like Far Cry healing system though.

Fast healing and no bs.

[normal galleon]

I feel like the medkit spam is a critical part of stalker lol, my hope is that some good modder will change the game to be like the original trilogy

[patent apex]

CoP nerfed them pretty hard anyways

[normal galleon]

yeah for sure

[young fable]

It much slower..

But atleast save my ass

From bloodsuckers

[normal galleon]

oh, by the way does anyone know why My autumn aurora setup isnt working? i get this message or something like it every time.

[young fable]

Never try

[patent apex]

verify game files

[woeful flax]

I figured it out, I just needed to kick my free stalker companions

I thought I could add more companions when I already had 2

free stalker companions being with duty is a problem since millitary will attack your companions lol

[upbeat coral]

Who?
Ill find them and..
Have a talk, yes

[patent apex]

thought you only had one companion

[upbeat coral]

Hes with me addon exists

[twin crane]

Hi all. Can I ask for help with Anomaly here?

[placid briar]

yes

[twin crane]

For some time now, when using the workshop, the game did not show me the necessary toolkits. Instead of the toolkit name, the name " " was there. I wanted to fix it with the NO TOOLKIT FOR PARTS REPLACEMENT addon, but now the game crashes when I press "F" on the workshop, or when using the toolkit without the workshop (Easy Repairs and Simple Repairs addons). Does anyone have an idea how to fix the "invisible toolkit"? It breaks the entire game mechanics. I will post the mods (some of the mods are uploaded using ModOrganizer and some manually)

Nope. Mods were added in 2019 and have not been updated

[neon socket]

what are some decent mods that arent anomaly

[idle matrix]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications message

[neon socket]

roadside picnic mentioned

thanks

[idle matrix]

My personal recs are Spatial Anomaly, Incubator, Dreamcatcher for story mods

Road to the North and Call of the Zone for freeplay

OP-2 for brain damage (soup)

[patent apex]

try alternateA

there's even a machine translation

[idle matrix]

If you want modifications on top of the original games, I was fond of Autumn Aurora 2, even though it is kinda unbalanced and crash prone sometimes

[neon socket]

k

nice to see there is a roadside picnic inspired one

maybe we could get a film inspired one

[normal galleon]

It says that one file failed to va;idate and will be reaquired, but nothing seems to happen and it still crahses, could i be using the wrong game version or mod version? its the most recent shoc update

[patent apex]

did you downgrade the version?

[normal galleon]

no, should I? im probably just missing some detail that I will never notice

[patent apex]

I'm fairly sure you're supposed to

[normal galleon]

ok, how would I go about that?

[patent apex]

don't recall myself

should be in the readme or install page

[normal galleon]

ill do some research

[upbeat coral]

Road to the North is pretty decent as story mod as well

[woeful flax]

well I inivted ONE person to travel with me and he also brought his buddy

[upbeat coral]

Well yeah
You can only invite squad leaders

[young fable]

i wonder what software to render this portrait

i dont sure if this taken by screenshot

[upbeat coral]

So true bestie
Altho I would classify RTTN as story mod since it has a storyline that isnt LTTZ

[ruby citrus]

photoshop

[dire crow]

I have a lot of experience with Call of the Zone if anyone needs some help, especially with Companions.

\

[dire pecan]

Reborn

[gentle salmon]

Appreciate you and your videos on Call of the Zone. Gives newcomers something to reference on and your gameplay is a nice pace. Have you considered Rhons' NPC Expansion with the Minor Characters?

[neon socket]

[patent apex]

millions must grok

[light mango]

is there a discord server for Call of Chernobyl?

[ruby citrus]

don't think so

[light mango]

well, then i'll ask here, should I use some mod manager for CoC?

[ruby citrus]

dunno, MO2 doesn't work afaik

playing vanilla CoC isn't a good idea anyway :s

[light mango]

why is that?

[ruby citrus]

it's barebones, even with addons, might as well try CotZ

[light mango]

i'll take a look thanks

[light mango]

and MO2 works with CotZ?

[ruby citrus]

no :3

MO2 only works with Anomaly

it's for if you want that bethesdaesque experience of slapping addons together to produce a constantly crashing vasyanka :3

[light mango]

tried Anomaly, Gamma did not like it :/

[ruby citrus]

well they are freeplay mods, what kind of experience are you looking for?

[light mango]

i'll give a try to CotZ, hopefully those are a bit easier, hopefully the story is good

[ruby citrus]

it's probably easier, but has virtually no story
if you're looking for story mods try these listed here #🔩┃trilogy_modifications message

[light mango]

but it has the base game story right?

[ruby citrus]

nope, it's a dynamic kinda thingie

[idle matrix]

No

[light mango]

god damn it

[idle matrix]

To get the original story you have to play the original games

[light mango]

i just want to sate my stalker 2 hunger and a reunion with my beloved AS VAL/VSS Vintorez, but would like to have some nice mods :/

[ebon tusk]

no mod has the base game story pure and sure

[ruby citrus]

i mean, vanilla+ mods exist, but those are lame :S

[light mango]

for me Anomaly & Gamma is like Elden Ring difficulty, don't want that realistic experience atm, so i'll check the chart you mentioned @ruby citrus

[ruby citrus]

ehhh, ER is not that hard

DS2 DLCs on the other hand :3333

[light mango]

depends on the player 🤓

[ebon tusk]

yhea, in this case, Anomaly is easy as shit

lol

[idle matrix]

all these games just require you to learn their mechanics to make them go from hard to seeming easy

[ruby citrus]

ER balance breaks the instant you go out of the "intended" way, 10 hours and you have all the titanite&estus cap, +summons, +phantoms, +consumables, +meta weapons :/

the peak of souls series was at DeS&DS2 i swear

[light mango]

so i'm lookin at this chart for a good 10 minutes and i'm so lost 😂

[upbeat coral]

Its neither realistic nor hard

Its just stupidly and overly complicated and the gameplay is artifically extended

[ruby citrus]

such is the curse of stalker modding

[light mango]

i'd like to have a few tarkov-y animations, better graphics then OG trilogy, some story, is there something like that? 😬

[ruby citrus]

tarkov animations exist only in CoC&Anomaly modpacks, and those don't have any story :S

[light mango]

okay, let's say i can skip the story thing, what do you do then in the game? running, shooting, looting?

[upbeat coral]

What you do in CoC is repetetive chores

Same with Anomaly except its worse

If you want to play Goon Simulator 2024 than these are for you

[light mango]

cute cat

[idle matrix]

If that's the sort of stuff you want just install Radiophobia 3

[ruby citrus]

it's freeplay, freeroam, sandbox, whatever you call it
imagine games like Kenshi and Mount&Blade but 10 times worse
you run around doing radiant quests, set up a base and engage in "survival" mechanics, so that's about it
some CoC forks have [good] storylines though

[upbeat coral]

What CoC forks?

Only RTTN has some story worthy of being called story

[ruby citrus]

i dunno, never played them (except stason) :333333333

[upbeat coral]

[ruby citrus]

i heard good things about Legend Returns though

[upbeat coral]

LR is okay

But nothing exceptional

[idle matrix]

Legend Returns is cool but the EN translation is very bad

[light mango]

🙉

[ruby citrus]

buildo = automatic peak

that's why OLR 3 is peak despite being abysmal dogshit

[upbeat coral]

So true

[ruby citrus]

i wonder why noone talks about Dead Air anymore

[upbeat coral]

Cuz its dead

From all freeplay CoM forks its by far the best tho

[light mango]

so it seems CoC should be the one, that has a little bit of everything in it, right?

[upbeat coral]

But that doesnt make it good in any way

[upbeat coral]

Little bit of everything but not a single thing is done well or even decently

[ruby citrus]

i mean, half the mods on the scene are dead

[light mango]

i'd like to froze myself until nov 20

[ruby citrus]

the best reason i can think of is that the devs are open nazis but when did it stop anyone

[idle matrix]

If you want everything, play solyanka

[upbeat coral]

Geez just play some proper mod
CoC is repetetive slop with no goal, trash balancing and boring gameplay loop

[ruby citrus]

yeah tbh just launch OP 2.2 and ughhhh

[light mango]

really? is that a standalone mod or requires some base game?

[light mango]

in your opinion what is some proper mod?

[upbeat coral]

Just check the spreadsheet NozAr sent

[light mango]

o7

[upbeat coral]

And read my 3 page Anomaly rant while you are there

[idle matrix]

Well OP-2 is standalone. I only recommend it if you have excess will to live though, because playing it will make it decrease rapidly

But it definitely fits the description of "everything"

It's less unfair than it seems though because you get a lot of overpowered tricks and tools

[ruby citrus]

thank you wolf

grghhhhhhhhhhh

[ruby citrus]

Narodnaya Solyanka is a kitchensink, imagine a 500 mod modpack for Skyrim/Minecraft and multiply it by 10, then there's Cumulative Pack, which is a fork of Solyanka with somehow more content :3

to beat the story quests of OP 2.2 you'll need somewhere around 500-700 hours

[light mango]

slowly but surely i complete lost 😂, but thanks for the time you put into these answers 👌

[ruby citrus]

CoC&Anomaly are modding platforms, really
due to X-ray specifics you can't really mod the game in the same way that you mod, say, Skyrim, that's why there are so much total conversions/fangames, but CoC brought exactly that, an ability to mod your game with a myriad of different addons

[ruby citrus]

OH MY GOD LITERALLY ME

[upbeat coral]

So true so true

[ruby citrus]

what would LA for CoP look like

[upbeat coral]

Like abysmal dogshit

[ruby citrus]

there are like two concept arts of a "let's fuсk around with some ideas" from 2008 and that's all

[idle matrix]

The same game but you move 60% slower and they patch the ability to get good weapons out

[upbeat coral]

Cant wait for helicopter inspection animations where Deggy moves along with the camera

[light mango]

hmm, maybe Anomaly + Old World 1.5.2 🤔

[ruby citrus]

old world is fine

[tribal belfry]

lol

[upbeat coral]

Ehh
Owa is by far the best Anomaly fork
That doesnt make it good tho

[ruby citrus]

no idea how they managed to make Anomaly look like SoC but it's impressive

[upbeat coral]

Honestly
If you want freeplay and little bit of everything with good guns and shit

Get IWP with CotZ features

[ruby citrus]

i kinda wanna try vanilla LA but buildo&dubious design decisions overdose from OLR 3.0 might be too much :S

i remember installing LADC like 4 years ago

and it had the weirdest launcher of any game/mod i've seen

[neat dune]

nozar_l has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ruby citrus]

also why the fuсk was the voice acting in english 😭

[upbeat coral]

[hoary lintel]

there's a mod I've seen recommended on reddit, but I can't find the thread anymore... it's set in winter, the zone is either very different (possibly there's no zone at all). It's not a reskin, it's a story mod. Someone described it as Long Dark meets Stalker.

please help me find it

[abstract spade]

Alone in Windstorm?

It's heavily survival focused, takes place in the Metro universe and has you play as a meteorologist in Siberia

[hoary lintel]

thanks, looks like that's the one! can't find any download links though...

[upbeat coral]

Just look it up
Its linked on the translation page

[fresh elk]

@upbeat coral you have the clipping issue in RTTN?

[upbeat coral]

Uhh
I had cut shoulder with Mosin

[fresh elk]

how about AKs

[upbeat coral]

Dont think I ever used it

Went from Mosin and MP 5 to SVD and AK-12

[fresh elk]

giving it another install to see if it's fixe

@mint vigil same issue

[upbeat coral]

[mint vigil]

I'd love if you show me what's exactly wrong? I'll try to find time to fix it.

I left modding due to life engagements and university

I'll be back to it soon

[fresh elk]

hang on, trying to get a good example

for some reason I can't screenshot so I'll just send a shitty pic from my phone

[mint vigil]

Np

Any pic will do

[upbeat coral]

Win + Shift+ S exists

[mint vigil]

[ancient wind]

there's like

three ways to screenshot

possibly four if you have GeForce experience

[mint vigil]

Leave my bro alone

I asked for the shot, and I'm good with it taken anyway he wishes for

[fresh elk]

Ok obviously shitty pictures because I can’t screenshot on this damn mod for some reason

Here’s a few examples

The AKS isn’t as glaringly bad as some of the other ones but you can still kind of see what I mean

[neon socket]

Are there any mods that add a lot more mobility to stalker?

[fresh elk]

Here’s a better example @mint vigil

[patent apex]

which one?

and what kind of mobility?

SoC already has fairly fast mobility if that's what you mean

I think there's a mod to restore proper stamina regen to CS

[neon socket]

Ever played Ultrakill?

[ebon tusk]

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAH

[noble basalt]

go play gmod with stalker addon maybe

[ebon tusk]

look at the 14 y old

[keen crag]

Stalker Movement shooter would be cool af what is your probelm ?

[noble basalt]

actor.ltx in gamedata/config

[neon socket]

Immediately resulting to Ad Hominem

[ebon tusk]

we already have that

its called New Arsenal 7 and it is perfect

[keen crag]

is it chugging like five energy drinks and a Hercules

[noble basalt]

na7 lol

[neon socket]

Ight thanks

[noble basalt]

full auto gauss

[ebon tusk]

ho yhea baby, you fly like the stags wild son

[keen crag]

sounds fun

[rich knot]

NA 7 has sliding?

[ebon tusk]

no wtf are you talking

[rich knot]

Ok good

[ebon tusk]

lmao

you are not going to introduce sliding or wall slidding to stalker unless you make sweeping changes to the entire gravity model that stalker uses and refine the control system

[noble basalt]

its just normal walking and shooting but the weapons make it seem like you are in fast pace

[ebon tusk]

something no one is asking for

[ebon tusk]

you can jump and run pretty fast and you can upgrade them further with artifacts

[noble basalt]

yeah i know, i mean, not double dash and stuff like that

[rich knot]

No dx 9 static ('dx8')

[rich knot]

Until they run out 😭

[ebon tusk]

simply dont play on master and turn off the mechanic

[rich knot]

Does the file that extends artifact life work on master?

[ebon tusk]

if you directly change the artifacts health then it dont matter if you on master or not you gonna extend that life

you can remove the mechanic anyway by finding and removing the code anyway

[hoary lintel]

I did, but the links to google drive on moddb are no longer valid

[ebon tusk]

did you try the C-Con spreadsheet

[hoary lintel]

speaking of that mod there's a similar one 30 years after the zone, only less than 50 people remain

[hoary lintel]

nope :/

[ebon tusk]

The Journey

[hoary lintel]

honestly I don't even know how to access c-con spreadsheet

[hoary lintel]

thanks 🙂

[ebon tusk]

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk

[hoary lintel]

nice thanks again

have you played the journey, is it any good

[ebon tusk]

havent played it yet

[idle matrix]

It's interesting. Very linear and story focused, not a lot of action, but the atmosphere is good

I would overall rate it like 7/10 because it can get a bit dull but I was interested enough to see where it was going to play to the end

[hoary lintel]

Dowloading it now, I'm a sucker for atmosphere

[idle matrix]

Yeah I would say you don't have much to lose just from trying it at least.

[hoary lintel]

From the screenshots, Alone in the Windstorm seems to have liften some maps from the long dark 1:1

Across all games and mods
Greek is the most based character

These are STCoM weapons

Bad news is that it's a model problem

Good new is that it can be relatively patched up by manipulation hold positions in order to not be affected by the hud fov

@fresh elk

[idle matrix]

Which mod

[rich knot]

Did you finish translating GC2 yet?

[patent apex]

@gols

@upbeat coral

[dire crow]

@Selory - I've added the "Talk to everyone" mod but have no desire for the huge overhaul of Rhons other add-ons. Way too many changes.

[gentle salmon]

Understandable. Vanilla CotZ is excellent and is perfectly enjoyable as it, provided you know how to create your own goals and fun.

[upbeat coral]

OL is SoC before it became SoC
OLR is mod trying to recreate it
Lost Alpha is abysmal dogshit that cant decide which design document it wants to use and isnt faithful to anything in any way

[upbeat coral]

Thats Psy's job

[ruby citrus]

Oblivion Lost is the name for two GSC projects:

Oblivion Lost (2001) is a sci-fi "aztech" game about travelling to different planets and shooting things. It didn't get far into development, but paved the way to the next GSC project.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost (2002 - 2004) is a predecessor of Shadow of Chernobyl, while the concept of The Zone, anomalies and artifacts are present, everything else is completely different: locations, mutants, story, gameplay, etc etc.

Over the years we gained virtually every material related to the development of S:OL and SoC, including working builds of the game. This created a striving segment of the modding scene focused on restoring the various old storylines, cut features and the general feel of "Tot Samiy Stalker" GSC promised all those years ago.
The two most popular of those mods/mod trees are:

Lost Alpha (2007 - 2014) - a total conversion mod with the original aim of faithfully restoring the 2003-2004 S:OL turned its own entire thing, largely unrelated to the old S.T.A.L.KE.R.
Lost Alpha Director's Cut (2014 - 2018) - a story&gameplay revamp of LA produced by its own team.
LA DC Extended (2020) - a hardcore story&gameplay revamp of LA DC produced by one of the members of its team.

Oblivion Lost Remake (2013 - NOW) - an actual reconstruction done in such devoted manner [to the point where every throwaway line from design documents is being unironically realized] that it sometimes hurts the mod.
The two relevant versions are:
OLR 2.5 (2014) - old locations, story is restored according to the 2003-2004 GSC design document, gameplay is relatively close to vanilla SoC.
OLR 3.0 (2024 - NOW) [Open Beta Test] - even more, even older locations, story revamped to that of Sergiy Ivanov's "Children of the Zone" novel, a "literary script" for S:OL,

[upbeat coral]

No idea
But its either SoC or mod built on SoC
Cant narrow it down further

Nah
Wolf is based

[ruby citrus]

new hardcore gameplay and features built based on the old documents that may have never been relevant in S:OL's development.
An addon for OLR 1.0 exists called Vector of Alienation (2015), it features gameplay elements from [at-the-time] modern OLR and replaces the story with an overhaul focused on remaking the story to be good rather than faithful.

To alleviate confusion - there also exists a low-quality mod for SoC called Oblivion Lost 3.1, it's unrelated to anything mentioned here and seems to be a buildo-inspired AMK fork.

[rich knot]

I know. I am just teasing a bit

[upbeat coral]

Omg

Its silicate

[young fable]

miau

[upbeat coral]

Spatial Anomaly 2 will use gunslinger

[cinder oxide]

maybe they do what TS did

except without a bootycheeks story

[upbeat coral]

I sure hope so

I will jump off Limansk Antenna if they dont

[upbeat coral]

OGSE
2.05 or revised?

Lost Alpha broke my trust in "revised" versions

[young fable]

SoC reposition

[fleet pelican]

how can i add mods on steam version of game?

[dire pecan]

the same way...

[ruby citrus]

what mods

[dire pecan]

any mod can be installed the same way on any version of stalker...

[upbeat coral]

not really

some mod will shit themselves if installed on top of steam version

[abstract spade]

I wonder why
Almost like the modders used the GOG version of the mod

[blazing lichen]

I mean to be fair the engines shit themselves vanilla

[upbeat coral]

WRONG
Xray 1.6.0.2 is PEAK

[blazing lichen]

[teal bison]

Are there any fans of stalker custom maps here?

https://youtu.be/oEq-QBPHBDc

[ruby citrus]

almost like modders use pirated versions of the game :3

[blazing lichen]

ew

I thought modders were based but looks like I was wrong

[upbeat coral]

tthey are based

thats why they dont use steam

[blazing lichen]

I meant the pirating

The games are dirt cheap

[upbeat coral]

[ruby citrus]

based modders do pirate :333

[blazing lichen]

All I read was broke trash

Not real fans

[ruby citrus]

you aren't a real fan :з

[blazing lichen]

I am I own all 4 games and beat the trilogy

I legally own them aswell

[ruby citrus]

and?

still fake

[blazing lichen]

How am I a fake fan lol this is bad bait

Whoever pirates stalker is a fake fan

[upbeat coral]

[ruby citrus]

lmfao

[blazing lichen]

I like all the stalker games I'm just based enough to realise clear sky stands on top

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

It's true if you were a real fan you'd buy the games hell even minimum wage people can afford them so 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat coral]

can you stop it and just agree that Drewski should defenestrate himself || (in Clear Sky)||

[blazing lichen]

Ong

[ruby citrus]

art should be free ;3

[blazing lichen]

Cool now go beg gsc for stalker 2 to be free

Broke activities

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

It's art right ?

[ruby citrus]

that's why you're a fake fan, none of the oldGSC team would approve you're anti-art activities, after all, they themselves worked in a pirate company called GSC ;3

[blazing lichen]

What a crazy take

Idk how they do things in the east but the west If you like a company and wanna support you buy the games

[upbeat coral]

thats boring

jsut pirate it

[blazing lichen]

No

[ruby citrus]

that's not how it works in real life

[upbeat coral]

and support by bullying others into playing the games

[blazing lichen]

In the real world if you can't afford something you get a better job or make changes lol

[ruby citrus]

so true bestie

[upbeat coral]

or you jsut steal it

[ruby citrus]

you're not even arti-art, you're anti-life :S

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

I only steal memes

[wispy lagoon]

i saw the demo gameplay and the game just looks like a new far cry lol

there's no atmosphere at all

oh im at the mod chat mb

the demo?

[upbeat coral]

[wispy lagoon]

everything is so bright and colorful like if it was an arcade game like fc ngl

[upbeat coral]

have you ever even seen Stalker?

does this seem dark to you?

[idle matrix]

The night time gameplay where everything is shrouded in darkness is too bright and colorful?

[steady cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJvU4WY3i8&ab_channel=GamersPrey

-.-

[upbeat coral]

yeah I dont think this is too bright
looks like its early morning or late evening

like 7pm or 5am

[wispy lagoon]

No problem, I'm going to put the bright/gama at minimum, I like to be in yantar and only being able to see 3 meters in front of me and then a quimera jumps from nowhere out and gives me a heart attack

[ionic sinew]

looks like vanilla soc night

we're too used to nights having 5 meter visibility because of bydlomods and govnozborkas for anomaly

[patent apex]

fun fact, being able to see in an fps is nice

I'm glad it's a little dark but not so dark you basically need to sleep if you don't have NV

[wispy lagoon]

ya'll right

[abstract spade]

Speaking of mod brainrot, I'm so used to shotguns deleting everything regardless of range, so them probably having the same effective range as OG ones will throw me off

[wispy lagoon]

saiga 🤤

saiga dushman best mod brainrot shotgun at least for me

[ionic sinew]

unless it's gamma and similarly balanced shit and you're using buck against humans

[abstract spade]

CoC warfighter + Vepr-12

The only weapon you'll ever need

[dire pecan]

Where can I download this?) Or is everything according to the author’s canon - there is a video, we won’t give the location?) Melya style

[remote pike]

What's a quimera

[wispy lagoon]

chimera in spanish

[idle matrix]

would probably have more luck in the gamma server

[upbeat coral]

are all gamma players like this?

like, I cant know
last time I interacted with them they banned me off their server

[placid nova]

Hi , I want to use Absolute HD (textures only with the weapons of OWR3 and ZRP) is it working ok?

[upbeat coral]

should

worst case you will have to reinstall the game

which for 5GB game isnt a problem

[placid nova]

If I delete the weapons textures from absolute HD and replace them with OWR3 weapons no manual merging required right the description in absolute hd is messy

[placid nova]

Thanks , whats your personal opinion , is absolute HD better then absolute structures and nature for soc , thanks

[noble basalt]

install zrp first before others

[upbeat coral]

@sleek sandal

[placid nova]

Ok thanks

[patent apex]

y'all need to be nicer to the elderly

[upbeat coral]

absolute nature and structures are generally accepted as the good visuals uplift

cant say for sure personally tho since i dont and never did use them

[placid nova]

You play soc without graphics mods?

[upbeat coral]

yes

I like the style

[placid nova]

Nice

[patent apex]

same

[upbeat coral]

reminds me of simpler times

[placid nova]

Absolute HD is only OG textures 4k

[patent apex]

I just like how surrealistic it can look, kinda like hl1

[placid nova]

This is why i ask first mod of its kind in 20 years

[patent apex]

it's all in the lighting

[upbeat coral]

it looks so good for such oldd game

thanks to lighting and stylization it holds strong

[placid nova]

Yes i played soc with only absolute structures and nature and zrp and owr3 and fixes for it and merge for zrp and owr3 nothing more for soc

[noble basalt]

oh for just the textures absolute HD? well the order is ZRP>OWR>AbsoluteHD. assuming you are manually copy the textures from absolute hd?

[placid nova]

But that absolute hd (omly textures) looks juicy

[noble basalt]

ohh i see

[placid nova]

Thanks for info this is my plan but I read from absolute HD mod description that it needs manual merging for some custom weapon textures ,this is why i wanted to overwrite it with owr3

[noble basalt]

btw i never knew absolute hd exist, kinda new i guess (2023 release)

dont be like me while merging the textures, i also edit them to include stickers lol. (hell yeah AS Val with Duty insignia)

[placid nova]

Yup the guy basically upscaled the game to 2-4k depending on the texture only OG textures

[patent apex]

are there any mods that just add unique models for the uniques?

[placid nova]

My stalker soc mods are super vanilla
1.absolute structure
2.absolute nature
3.HD npc models (this is why i want to try absolute HD to use OG npc 4k texture
4.ZRP 1.5
5.OWR3
6.OWR3 merge with ZRP 1.5
7.OWR3 fixes
8.just sleeping bag and a few more vanilla things like zrp flashlight and npcs avoid anomalies

Thats is my mods for soc super vanilla

[upbeat coral]

my vanilla style mods for SoC are:
Shadow of Chernobyl

thats it

[patent apex]

I tried OWR3 once and I simply preferred vanilla textures

[placid nova]

Ah yeah i forgot I use real guns names also in zrp options

[upbeat coral]

unbased

AC-96/2 ~~ Abakan ~~ Obokan my beloved

[placid nova]

Vintorez for me xD

[upbeat coral]

Vintar BC better

[placid nova]

Man i barely speak ukrainian or russian but vintorez is hilarious im from Bulgaria and in my country that translates to bolt cutter

🤣

[abstract spade]

Erm... You mean Obokan....

[upbeat coral]

oh yeah

im dum

modrot

[abstract spade]

Happens to the best of us

[placid nova]

I tho ZRP is kinda mandatory for soc to fix crashes?

[upbeat coral]

nah

ngl the bugs ZRP brings are more annoying than those it fixes

[placid nova]

I completed the game 100% with zrp no bugs but probably it would be the same without zrp

Can you remember some of the zrp bugs to recognize it if I encounter it

[upbeat coral]

I had seen entities textures glitch a lot
like items, corpses and sometimes alive enemies becoming temporarly invisible

lot of people had that issue

[patent apex]

a lot of SoC bugs are more annoying than anything

[remote pike]

No stalker game needs bug fixes in order to be stable

Crashing is more of a joke

[placid nova]

Ok i will play without zrp and other mods for soc

Game is playable 100% purely vanilla right i can max 100% master without game breaking bugs?

Ngl half of chernobyl textures being black abyss was hilarious 🤣

[patent apex]

yeah, besides one of the quest being a little finicky

[placid nova]

Atleast this xD

[patent apex]

don't, strelok is a short king

[placid nova]

Hehe

[upbeat coral]

strelok is based and dwarf pilled

[cinder oxide]

@upbeat coral what is the most schizo mod

Alternativa?

[dire pecan]

"Тень ванючки"...

[ruby citrus]

тень ванючки is lame, as well as other trashmods

[dire pecan]

+Reborn +Alternativa +Diana History - top od shizomodding

[ruby citrus]

alternativa&reborn pretty much

[dire pecan]

friend - absolute structures only loads the memory. These are textures doubled in size and sharpened by 10 times. You can do the same thing even through paint without enlarging the image and get the same result

[abstract spade]

Holy hell we're all waiting for Stalker 2 and here you are playing Stalker 3 already

Some stalker NPCs can help you with it, ask around

[noble basalt]

legit i also surprised and took a solid minute to realize what does it mean. dont worry though, he solved it

[keen crag]

i mean they arent wrong

COP is stalker 3

[dire pecan]

Okay... So hl opposing force is half life 3....

[keen crag]

OPFOR and blue shift are expansion packs

so HL2 EP1 is HL3

[dire pecan]

Yea

[abstract spade]

Actually
CS and CoP were envisioned as expansions for Shadow of Chernobyl, that's why the new game is called 2 despite there being three of them already

[keen crag]

aw

[young fable]

seems legit

[placid nova]

I see thx thanks why i wonder if absolutely HD is decent alternative

[upbeat coral]

Reborn

Its not schizo on its own

But give it 20 minutes

And it will make you schizo

[upbeat coral]

its uploaded by Vasim
it is legit

[young fable]

I try it and get mauled by bunch of dogs and boars.

[upbeat coral]

such is life in the zone

[young fable]

Overall its good mod

[upbeat coral]

stashes are most fun in the mod

opening safes is nice

and opening normal stashes also sometimes has a surprise

[neon socket]

you know where i could get народная солянка OGSR 2016 in english?

[upbeat coral]

oh I know lots of things

[neon socket]

🗿

https://www.moddb.com/mods/solyanka/downloads/narodnayasolyanka

you think it could be this one?

[upbeat coral]

dont think thats OGSR versiion

but judging by description its probably the best version to play

[idle matrix]

Yeah that version of NS 2016 is fine. But it's not the OGSR one

Also I second that Reborn is the most schizo mod

Words cannot describe it

[upbeat coral]

true true

[neon socket]

there's this guy playing

i'm searching for the version he plays

[neon socket]

i'm already downloading this one, i'll see if this is the one

[ruby citrus]

join C-con server and look in pinned ig

the list should also have it prolly

[neon socket]

and where's that server

[upbeat coral]

spreadsheet doesnt have it

it has 2010 version

but not 2016 OGSR

[idle matrix]

2010 and non-OGSR 2016 are easy enough to find in English

[rich knot]

Is return of scar 2 as schizo as reborn?

Or alternativeA

[final frost]

804 stalkers

[upbeat coral]

Return of Scar is schizo because its weird
Reborn is schizo because it get you into state of utter shock and depression, immidiately destroys your will to live and then pisses on your grave

tldr: Reborn is based

[idle matrix]

It also microwaves your brain if you try to understand what's going on

[upbeat coral]

yes

its basically Goldsphere
but amplified
and no coherent guide exists for it

its fuсking great

[rich knot]

What about alternativA?

[upbeat coral]

its schizo as hell, weird butt cool

doesnt make you reconsider your life choices

or at least not nearly as much as Reborn does

[sharp lodge]

return of scar 2 is something like ОП 2.2. but shorter

[ruby citrus]

is this theory

[sharp lodge]

a modification theory

[ruby citrus]

marxism-jekanism

[upbeat coral]

[sharp lodge]

wha ?

[ruby citrus]

the new stalker modding theory

are you one of those grok thought counterrevolutionaries?

[upbeat coral]

Grokkers want to take our mods, they will privatize them
We cant let these stinky Grokapitalists steal our mods

[sharp lodge]

i don't get it

[upbeat coral]

[sharp lodge]

what are you mean ?

explain pls

[ruby citrus]

"is this theory" is a joke line among leftists that refers to something absurd/funny being socialist theory

[sharp lodge]

okay

[remote pike]

Zone accurate

[placid nova]

I have read alot of info it seems ZRP for stalker soc is only positives and doesn't introduce any bugs

[upbeat coral]

heh

ZRP specific bugs are some of the most annoying shit

yet nobody talks about them

[placid nova]

I asked what kind of bug but no response

[upbeat coral]

hehe

entity texture glitches

items, corpses and soemtimes aliive enemies can and will pop in and out of existence

[placid nova]

Oh i saw that

Is that from zrp?

[upbeat coral]

Monolith will have no problem traveling towards you through 4th dimension

[upbeat coral]

yes

[placid nova]

When I was killing some bandits sometimes they were glitching in the environment (their corpes) but I tho its from the stalker soc engine

[upbeat coral]

yeah it mostly happens with corpses

its ZRP specific bug

extremely annoying

[placid nova]

Lmao

[remote pike]

Imagine a bug fix that introduces more bugs

[placid nova]

I tho this is future from the game engine xD

[remote pike]

Zrp makes some slight changes in gameplay

[placid nova]

You wonr believe the corpse glitches i have seen in my life 🤣

[remote pike]

Oh I know

Same funny stuff you can see in fnv and fallout 3

I prefer to play without bug fixes

Just seems better

[placid nova]

1.006 should be good enough I guess to 100% without mods ill give it a go without zrp

Ill check which quest is bugged

Ill miss the flashlight from zrp the most 😀

LED flashlight in 1980... 🤣

[placid nova]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/absolute-hd-2023

Any opinion on this runs and looks great , the weapons seems with the same OG ballistic (0% accuracy 🤣)

[upbeat coral]

fym 1980s?

[placid nova]

The time period when soc is taking place

[upbeat coral]

SoC takes place in 2012

they have PDAs

and guns from 90s

[placid nova]

Nice weapons fro 2012 🤣

[upbeat coral]

[placid nova]

Dragunov and ak74

[upbeat coral]

its enclosed economy

good luck smuggling in latest army equipment

[idle matrix]

Well not like these guys are getting the latest in military hardware

[upbeat coral]

people go there to make money from nothing

not to bring fancy expensive guns

[placid nova]

Ak47 is more expensive then new aks nowadays xD

[upbeat coral]

new AKs didnt even exist when the game released

74 was latest one

[placid nova]

There are like 5 new ak after 74 before 2006

[upbeat coral]

maybe some weird prototypes from when USSR collapsed

but nothing nearly as widely and readily available as 74

[placid nova]

Yea for sure the 74 prob tens of millions produced

Still ak47 best looking

[patent apex]

most of the weapons in the zone are just whatever was available off the black market like the viper 5

[remote pike]

There is a new ak every 10 seconds

[placid nova]

In stalker 2 35 weapons

Not bad

[patent apex]

it's enough

[remote pike]

Btw does AK stand for automatic Kalashnikov

[patent apex]

not too many to where it can feel bloated but not too little

[placid nova]

Give me that sweet vintorez xD

[upbeat coral]

yes

[placid nova]

AK is автомат калашников , or automatic machine gun kalashnikov in english

In english they dont have the word for

[upbeat coral]

Avtomat Kalashnikova to be more specific

[placid nova]

Automatic

[upbeat coral]

just
Kalashnikovs automatic

[placid nova]

They use automatic like something that does things automatically in this case shooting in Bulgaria,UA,RU we call it avtomat yeah 😄
