What about Reborn?

I just love this picture

[ruby citrus]

oh god i NEED to see the RU version of this

is this even real

[upbeat coral]

I got it from C-Con

They wouldnt lie

[tardy birch]

yeah

[upbeat coral]

C-Con guys are most trustworthy people ever

[ruby citrus]

don't ever ask the c-con guys what their political views are

[upbeat coral]

Dont ask the C-Con guys why their translation files get flagged by malwarebytes

[tardy birch]

lol

[rich knot]

That reminded me of the Costco guys

[upbeat coral]

Cost what?

Is that some weird american supermarket chain?

[rich knot]

It's a supermarket warehouse combo

[ruby citrus]

that supermarket has more money than the entirety of czechia :3

[keen crag]

something EUROPEANS or MOST ASIAN PEOPLE (there are costcos in certain asian countries) wouldn’t understand .

[upbeat coral]

The supermarket doesnt pay for Ukrainian tanks

[keen crag]

they give out free samples

[rich knot]

Stalker 2 will have a Walmart and a Costco in game

[ruby citrus]

i mean europe has warehouse style supermarkets they're just not burdened with 50,000m² of parking space

[upbeat coral]

Do they give you 10 free T-72M1s?

[ruby citrus]

this is true!

[rich knot]

And it will follow the story of mercs since ALL mercs are Americans or SAS

[keen crag]

they’re selling a shed for like a couple hundred bucks

[rich knot]

And Britain is America but an island

[upbeat coral]

Did you know USA has more parking lots than living areas?

[ruby citrus]

BAN CARS

[upbeat coral]

Not for already struggling country that suddenly found itself in war for survival against enemy that is many times stronger economically

[upbeat coral]

Band automatic transmission cars

[keen crag]

people on bikes are ANNOYING … I need five billion SUVs ok ?

[upbeat coral]

[rich knot]

They have cheap hotdogs

[keen crag]

if STALKER 2 had a drivable SUV it would in game of the year in the US

[upbeat coral]

How cheap?

[keen crag]

dollar and fifty cents

plus a free drink

[ruby citrus]

i live in a city with mostly normal-sized cars and then there's like one or two suvs three times the size and like....
wha.....

[upbeat coral]

Here I can get 2 real good hotdogs for $1.5

[keen crag]

my dad owns an SUV, it’s basically an oversized paperweight sitting in our garage

[ruby citrus]

120 ruble shawarma.... nghhhhh.....

[keen crag]

it doesn’t do anything, it’s never used at all

[upbeat coral]

100 Dogecoins

[ruby citrus]

100 apex coins actually

[upbeat coral]

160 robux

Wait
Are Roubles worth more than robux?

[ruby citrus]

no

[keen crag]

no

[upbeat coral]

That doesnt seem right

The math aint mathing

[keen crag]

robux is pegged to the USD at like 0.01 cents per robux

[ruby citrus]

robux is worth more than rubles, apex coins to rubles is like 1:1

[rich knot]

Omg Soviet roubles reference

[upbeat coral]

Best thing about apex coins is that swiss banks cant freeze your accounts with them

[rich knot]

I love getting paid 20 roubles by sid for a good AKM-74U/2

[keen crag]

actually nvm currently robux and roubles are equal rn

[ruby citrus]

no that would be TF2 inventories actually

[keen crag]

trade ban?

[ruby citrus]

as far as i know Steam isn't Switzerland

[keen crag]

if you get trade banned you cannot sell or move your items

[upbeat coral]

Pootis?

[ruby citrus]

no, gay sex.

[tardy birch]

he is old af

[remote pike]

HEAVY is NOT polish

[earnest patrol]

I can't even

What's even more ironic is those numbskulls tried to dig trenches in the Red Forest

[tardy birch]

Sorry for the horrible sound but are those squares normal?

[tardy birch]

@final quiver True Stalker mod looks like a official game

The hud

So modern

[final quiver]

I saw it

but : it's not for any low users

[tardy birch]

Yeah

[final quiver]

it's so bad that such work of arts always end up being unplayable

[tardy birch]

Dreamcatcher

[final quiver]

still

[ruby citrus]

it really doesn't :3

[tardy birch]

When I saw the video of Cheeki Breeki about True Stalker it gave me vibes of stalker 2 in some aspects of it

[tardy birch]

Some things in the hud are simmilar to stalker 2

[final quiver]

the only good huds I saw far was Soc , Cs , Cop

[tardy birch]

Cop hud is great

So easy to understand

[final quiver]

Soc is peak

[rich knot]

modifications channel
Vanilla talk

[final quiver]

We are talkin and comparing huds

[rich knot]

Ik

I was joking about it

[final quiver]

NO , THAT'S NOT ENOUGH I WANT YOU TO GAMMA NOW

[patent apex]

does uninspired mean modern now

for the most part it's extremely bland and I have a similar issue with the stalker 2 HUD a bit

same with CoP

CS and SoC huds have actual character

and get across important information in an interesting way

true stalker looks like you threw a dozen modern game's UI into a blender

even CoP kinda lost a bit of character with how it's designed

and the stalker 2 HUD is a little too minimalist for me

[rich knot]

SoC had the best hud IMO

It was not the information given that makes me decide that but the look of it

It's very fitting for the game

CS would be better than CoP if it didn't have the radiation dial

[patent apex]

I like the radiation dial, it's fun

The CoP hud is so garbage

it's just a little box

there isn't even a radiation dial anymore

[rich knot]

Without the health/armor/weapon condition and the drug buffs it would be pretty good

[patent apex]

without 90% of the HUD it'd be still bad

they also made the minimap a circle for some reason

[rich knot]

Arsenal Overhaul 2 for CS HuD is pretty decent

[patent apex]

what did they do to my boy

[rich knot]

I actually like that more than the box

[patent apex]

why did they make it yellow

and remove the radiation

and move the minimap

and get rid of the fun little indicators

[final quiver]

but....bro..this will fit with North parts of the zone..high radioactive , chimical , psy-levels are meduim

[rich knot]

There is minimalist hud version that is more faithful than AO2

[patent apex]

I like that more

[rich knot]

I liked the indicators in vanilla

[patent apex]

I'm still sad the armor condition and radiation dial are gone

but that's not half bad

[rich knot]

Also the armor condition and then it would be the best

[final quiver]

Cs hud isn't that bad

[patent apex]

it also mostly kept the color which is nice

CS HUD is great

[final quiver]

it's quite accurite

[patent apex]

it's unique and functional

unlike CoP which made it all in a box and added a bunch of useless icons

[rich knot]

I only dislike the tachometer and the endurance

But I agree that it makes it more unique

[patent apex]

I wish the endurance bar was a little smaller but otherwise I like the tube

it's weirdly thick compared to health

I do like how CoP has hands change with armor, which I wish someone added to the earlier titles

[rich knot]

I found this one on the web but I wished they moved the health ammo and stuff to be flush or almost flush with the left of the screen

And the dials too

[patent apex]

is it supposed to be 15 pixels

[rich knot]

I actually think removing the mini map makes the hud look better

[patent apex]

I cannot tell what it's supposed to be

[rich knot]

It got even more compressed than on my screen

[patent apex]

it seems like they just removed most of it honestly

I'm 90% sure they just removed everything but the health, ammo, and armor

and made it a little darker

[rich knot]

From a mod called pre sky which ended during development and never got out of it

[patent apex]

I don't notice much beyond removing the bleeding indicator, changing the style of it a bit, and adding the stances in the corner

[rich knot]

Also this is from screenshots of IWP and the HUD looks pretty good. Atleast IMO

[patent apex]

box

[rich knot]

I don't mind box

Also from NA 7

[patent apex]

I despise the compass minimal but not bad

[rich knot]

I stole them from the Internet. Ask the people who posted it to make better quality screenshots 😤

I stole the IWP one from Mahzra on discord

[upbeat coral]

Work of arts?

[final quiver]

I mean... because of the dynamic helmet apperence

rest is dog shit

[upbeat coral]

[patent apex]

helmet huds are awful and I want them gone from mods forever

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Kot

[upbeat coral]

The game is so burover

[cinder oxide]

True stalker could have been so much truer

if the devs werent all lobotomized at precisely the same moment in development

[upbeat coral]

TS makes me sad

its the modern definition of wasted potential

Lost Alpha of 2020s if you will

[cinder oxide]

Genuinely

[patent apex]

me when I'm in a wasted potential competition and my opponent is a stalker mod

[upbeat coral]

*popular stalker mod

lesser known ones tend to use the potential well

[patent apex]

the ones that aren't just garbage sure

Try again

[hearty kayak]

bruh

straight

ok this is the right way ig

[abstract spade]

🥳

[hearty kayak]

thats it imma go make a wish

😭

[verbal yacht]

Can we get some different options to the end of the game like I don't know infinite cash or something like an actual reward Maybe

[upbeat coral]

Wdym reward?

The wish granter endings are fake

Youre either getting killed or brainwashed, we dont know

[hearty kayak]

arent theres also a true ending?

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but none of those is at wishgranter
Theres bunch of wishgranter endings, ||one secret where you join C-Con|| and one true
In none of them any reward makes sense

[hearty kayak]

i know those two but joining the C-con is a true one or a fake one

and deniyng their offer makes you break the pods

[upbeat coral]

Fake one

[patent apex]

||strelok killing the c-con is definitely the true ending||

maybe not all of it, but the cutscene definitely happened

mostly because of how much extra you need to do to get there

[dusk owl]

how do i edit textures? like what stuff do i need to get the file into an editor

[ruby citrus]

photoshop

[dusk owl]

time to find out where to pirate photoshop

[patent apex]

isn't it like 2 dollars a year

[ruby citrus]

either a crack you have to activate every update or a standalone install by some shady russian

[dusk owl]

22 a month

[ruby citrus]

older standalone versions by other people are safer though

[ruby citrus]

no??? it's expensive as fuсk, adobe is the worst

[dusk owl]

yeah
any other good way to edit the textures tho?

[dusk owl]

literally and its strict af with cancelling it

[ruby citrus]

you could try gimp or krita or any other image manipulation program maybe??

[dusk owl]

if u cancell it early u have to pay for what u wouldve for the rest of the year

so like if you buy it at the start of the year and cancell it youll have to pay 242 usd

[ruby citrus]

just install like 2016 ver from some trusted site

[dusk owl]

alr thanks

[fossil steeple]

Nikocado glowup 2024

[ruby citrus]

r/piracy and r/genp will help you :3

[dusk owl]

hell yea and thanks again

[ruby citrus]

yes nikocado avocado is my favourite modification for stalker
was nice to see him referenced in OP 2.2

[fossil steeple]

I too agree. I like the Kharkiv mod with a statue of him (he’s Ukrainian)

But damn, that mf lost a lotta weight

[ruby citrus]

i loved it when in REBORN Adolf Hitler said: Well, this really is some kind of Nikocado...

[fossil steeple]

😂

[patent apex]

damn

[patent apex]

didn't he do a full Unabomber rant

[fossil steeple]

No idea

Wait a minute

That was a year ago and bro is still salty

He wasn't even in the discord when the message got sent

[low quail]

Can someone help me with this ? So i added -dbg to the stalker cop target line for console command but when trying to launched the game from that shortcut the game doesn't launch.

[upbeat coral]

yes

[upbeat coral]

yes

[upbeat coral]

just dont add lines to console

shrimple as that

[low quail]

Target line*

kinda upset i'm trying to do one simple thing and the game freaks out

[upbeat coral]

what should it even change?

[cinder oxide]

@austere bison can you add a pooping and wiping mechanic please

I like my games hardcore and realistic

[low quail]

i'm just trying to add the console command

[upbeat coral]

if you read that Grok
would you be up for answering more of my questions sometime in the future?

I prepared a list

[upbeat coral]

well
gotta reinstall it seems

[low quail]

The console command comes up in game but the actual console commands don't work. I was following this article https://groups.google.com/g/rabbitmq-discuss/c/mfUd5rphj7sbut adding -dbg to the target line then launching the game, The game doesn't want to launch

article was posted dec 10th 2023

[ruby citrus]

try steam launch commands maybeeee??

[low quail]

don't know what that is and how to use it

[ruby citrus]

you click at the game in steam > properties > launch options

[low quail]

do you put the target line there ?

[ruby citrus]

dunno, try it

[austere bison]

Go play Scum

[low quail]

maybe just the -dbg

[blazing lichen]

i forgot about scum tbh

[patent apex]

is scum still alive?

I thought it died with day z and pubg

[lean elbow]

Anyone played/ing old world for anomaly? I'm playing warfare mode there and was wondering if fast spawn of monolith in warehouses is normal?

[young fable]

Warfare huh?

Anomaly warfare is messed up

[lean elbow]

Why? Never really played anomaly before

[upbeat coral]

Thats just how it is

You wont find balanced and/or well working stuff in Anomaly

And OWA just cant fix it all

[lean elbow]

I guess I'll wait for S2 then. No mod really scratched that trilogy itch for me

[upbeat coral]

theres plenty of good ones

you are just looking in the wrong direction

[lean elbow]

Thing is, most mods try to be realistic or just plain unfun to be challenging.

[upbeat coral]

as I said

looking in the wrong direction

try Thorny Way
its fun way to revisit CoP maps

[ruby citrus]

don't play anomaly then :3

play story mods

[onyx flame]

on Goldsphere OGRS installation instructions:

Translation file only. To install:

1. Install the repack and extract it
2. Open folder and run Start game.bat to play 🙂
3. If you already had the game installed, just get the translation from Google Drive , so that you don't have to install a 6gb file.

Which "repack", Goldsphere or OGSR?

[upbeat coral]

._.

"oh guys, when installing OGSR version of a mod, should I install the OGSR version to have it running?"

[onyx flame]

decided to download it and see what's in there and what isn't, turns out it runs out of the box and needs neither repack. This is why you should never take any advice from the liar above, apart from perhaps doing the exact opposite of what is suggested.

[upbeat coral]

the mod IS a repack

ah yes
"liar above"

[ebon tusk]

well if youre playing OG Goldsphere youre gonna need to install it in your game, but Goldsphere OGSR should run out of the box easely enuff

[patent apex]

clown to jokester communication

[patent apex]

would you prefer jester?

[upbeat coral]

dexter jetster

[ebon tusk]

being a jester implies a certain degree of mastery over the arts, which isnt chymos specialty

I'm looking for something that has good A life. CoP felt like it lacked the dynamic npcs everywhere. ( Especially the last third and empty prypiat)

[upbeat coral]

OLR 3.0 has absurdly good Alife

TeamLite too I think

[patent apex]

TeamLite?

[upbeat coral]

TeamLite CoC

https://www.moddb.com/mods/teamlite-mod

prospectors also got good Alife
https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/downloads/prospectors-project-14

[lean elbow]

I'll have to try them out 🙂

[onyx flame]

"Team Lite Call of Chernobyl" is a modification that reimagines the popular "Call of Chernobyl" mod, bringing it closer to the authentic experience of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

[blazing lichen]

those women being in this push it so far from the original series lol

[rich knot]

Goldsphere has it too

[blazing lichen]

midsphere

COTZ is based

[rich knot]

@upbeat coral

[rich knot]

We are going to kill you

[rich knot]

Also enjoy your outta memory crashes

[blazing lichen]

i've only ever crashed in truck cemetary or jupiter but i just turn down graphics and its fine

cotz doesnt have women so it doesnt draw in simps which makes it based

[rich knot]

CotZ is related to CoC which is related to Anomaly and Gamma

[upbeat coral]

Wrong

Ngl
Goldsphere has more actual freeplay than most freeplay mods

[blazing lichen]

i need to check out goldsphere

[blazing lichen]

i mean gamma aint the worst

[upbeat coral]

It is

[blazing lichen]

anomaly custom is worse

atleast grok isnt a Ztard

[rich knot]

The only thing worse are vasyankas

[blazing lichen]

wtf is that lol

[rich knot]

Shit mods

[upbeat coral]

Solyankas but good

[cinder oxide]

Is that true?

What makes it good

[upbeat coral]

Stalkers actually go around and do shit

They go and hunt mutants

They venture into anomlous fields to find artifacts amd then go and bring them to traders

[low quail]

Dayz is still active

[low quail]

Dayz is getting a big update later this year with a new map, Sakhal

[blazing lichen]

Fr dayz is alive and well

[patent apex]

oh you mean the game

not the free mod thing

[blazing lichen]

oh you mean the old arma 2 mod? i wish that was still active

[low quail]

Same

I agree dayz is dead rn, but hopefully the new update will bring people back

[cinder oxide]

I might try it tbh

Idk

[ruby citrus]

80 hours in 3.0 and

HELP ME

[patent apex]

which one is OLR again

[cinder oxide]

Yooo they added the free market to stalker

I wonder what the utility functions of the ncps are

Like if it's just money or if they have specific desires

If they genuinely added the free market it would go crazy

Although pc requirements would be nasa level

Each NPC would bargain

Although you can't really have the really cool emergent properties you'd get irl

[ruby citrus]

Oblivion Lost Remake

[upbeat coral]

The only somewhat proper buildo mod

[ruby citrus]

wdym

[ruby citrus]

shadows addon counts methinks

also 2.5 is prolly better in terms of buildo buildo, 3.0 is like desdoc buildo

[upbeat coral]

Buildo is buildo!

[cinder oxide]

Olr has npcs trading with each other and each npc has a unique goal

[ruby citrus]

yeah pretty much

[cinder oxide]

Not quite as cool as a real free market mod since you can't actually make npcs innovate

Not yet at least, maybe in a couple decades it'll be feasible

[ruby citrus]

insofar it affected the gameplay only with the fact that i can stumble upon a guy with 10 high-end artifacts and kill them for only -10 reputation

[upbeat coral]

Peak

[ruby citrus]

real free market mod be like sidorovich kills everyone who tries to barter with stalkers

[ruby citrus]

so true bestie

[cinder oxide]

I mean kinda yeah

Traders in general would be a lot more hostile

[ruby citrus]

i LOVE getting irradiated food from barkeep because some fuсkwit stalkers sold them to him

[ruby citrus]

i mean canonically they kinda are

[cinder oxide]

Yeah ik

Not quite as much as they would be though imo

I think they'd send raids to other traders

Although it isn't necessarily that zero sum

It could ultimately be better to ally

Can't really say because nobody has made the zone irl yet

[upbeat coral]

They did

Its called Ústí nad Labem

Except in thr Stalker Zone, chances of you getting robber are signifficantly lower

[cinder oxide]

I think Bandits would generally be a lot less organized

They definitely wouldn't identify with a faction

And PDAs would probably not be a thing, or they'd be rarer

[upbeat coral]

Oh you would be surprised how organized the bandits in Ústí are

[cinder oxide]

Well they have a central regulatory agency that they're defying

In the zone that really doesn't exist besides the weak military

I'd assume Ukraine wouldn't actually allocate many resources to defending the zone from intruders

Although idk, bloodsuckers getting out would be pretty bad

Mutants in general

Hard to say

[hearty moth]

Are there any mods that expand Limansk from Clear Sky?

Either in CS itself or or a conversion mod

[remote pike]

No mod does that

Even outside of cs

[hearty moth]

rip

I thought it was a cool location but it was underused in CS

As it was just a shooting gallery

[neat dune]

_1nexxus1_ has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[ruby citrus]

i mean limansk is just a dollar store dead city

[hearty moth]

Yeah but I still like it

[ruby citrus]

also iirc wind of time has plenty of quests in limansk

[hearty moth]

Might have to check that out then

[patent apex]

Oh, I though there might've been an ui option. Thanks, will check

[tardy birch]

ok

[ornate pulsar]

Testing my sound environments in IWP, EAX (OpenAL EFX)

The video is somehow really scuffed due to amd's built in recorder

[mint vigil]

The chance of you catching a bullet in master diff

[long isle]

Fair; it's too low, TBH.

[mint vigil]

What's the value?

[long isle]

Think it was 0.5, so only half probability of getting hit.

[mint vigil]

Well, I don't know and it doesn't really matter tbh. 1000 is inactive cuz it's for testing and modding purposes.
Everything that comes after ";" is not active.

[long isle]

Yea, but I was wondering if the 150 and 800 are in metres and metres/second or something.

[mint vigil]

Yeah! If you want to calculate the percentage, you can do a x100 equation.

[lean elbow]

old world warfare gets... very laggy..

[mint vigil]

50 is not low, it's kinda ideal

[rich knot]

Is it a 50% hit probability?

[mint vigil]

You can get that to up to .65

[long isle]

No, 50% probability...which is low.

[mint vigil]

But anything above that will make hell

[long isle]

I changed it to 0.95.

[mint vigil]

XD okay

Misery style

[long isle]

Nah, just realism.

Never played Misery, TBH.

[mint vigil]

Idk, even misery might have less probability

[patent apex]

I'm fairly sure that most people do not hit 95% of all shots

[mint vigil]

Realism? 95% is way too much lmao

A rookie with a lowly pistol getting almost every shot at you is kinda weird isn't it?

[lean elbow]

this is ridicolous lol

[mint vigil]

Are the purple dots marking helpers ?

[lean elbow]

monolith. they spawn so much for some reason lol

i guess i wanted warfare so i got it

oh m god even more Xd

[long isle]

Yea, but then most people who fire guns aren't affected by RNG but their own aim, their weapon condition, the general environment...

[long isle]

Should depend on the rookie's aim, not RNG.

[patent apex]

so it'd be even lower, yeah

50% is actually pretty high

[long isle]

Not dependent on RNG, though.

[patent apex]

it's easier and works well enough compared to adding 30 separate factors for a feature that would be almost entirely unnoticeable or extremely obvious

[lean elbow]

uhm

[patent apex]

also makes difficult balancing easier

[patent apex]

good programming

[long isle]

Uh...only factor needed is aim skills. Counter-Strike did it, easily.

[long isle]

Eh, well...kind of why I like GTA; no difficulty levels. Or dynamic difficulty.

[patent apex]

no brain to think

you listed like 8 favors then something that is also literally just RNG

HK reference

[long isle]

'favors'?

[patent apex]

me tired because me work

me move heavy object for while

big shovel grr

[long isle]

My condolences for the graveyard shift.

[upbeat coral]

This happens surprisingly often

Especially in CoC and its forks

[karmic parrot]

theres either something wrong with rng or luck, monolith keeps dropping me exos in anomaly for some reason

gotten to a point where i have 3 different ones in my stash

[patent apex]

do they use multiple exos beyond the useless version and a normal version?

[noble basalt]

if you remember SoC, its the a.i's pathway to sit on the roof and balcony of priypat's apartement (the original monolith's designated sniping spot in SoC)

[patent apex]

I think that's pripyat from CoP

[noble basalt]

nah this is SoC's pripyat where you meet expert exo loners

[karmic parrot]

They use Nosorogs and X-18 prototype ones

[patent apex]

I forgot about nosorogs

[karmic parrot]

I wont bother repairing them since i can afford a merc nosorog soon

[upbeat coral]

[stray pebble]

alright fellas i need some help here, i had downloaded the Ukrainian language pack for CoP and are still looking to get text in english, is there anyone here who knows where to get some localization edits to have it like that?

[upbeat coral]

Just find the file with eng voicelines
Name the files accordingly and replace them with Ukrainian ones

[serene bridge]

stalker autum arora doesnt seem to work at all it installs sucessfuly but the game graphics dont change at all

game version is 1.0006

[patent apex]

did you install it correctly?

[serene bridge]

yes it installed without showing any errors

[patent apex]

and you followed the guide?

read the readme?

[upbeat coral]

If it doesnt appear ingame, and the game doesnt crash either

Then you installed it into wrong directory

[ornate pulsar]

Transitioning between sound environments in IWP

[dusky wind]

that map in pinned is hard to understand, what are the popular big mod projects of the stalker community

[ebon tusk]

Stalker is more than a decade old, there are lots of big and popular projects

[dusky wind]

top 3

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere
Wind of Time
Bad Company trilogy

[ebon tusk]

New Arsenal 7
NLC7
OP2

[upbeat coral]

Where DSH?

[ebon tusk]

I cant keep the list short, too much peak in stalker modding

[upbeat coral]

Rel rel

[dusky wind]

i just need someone to tell me what mods to do for a second playthrough

[upbeat coral]

Vanilla

[dusky wind]

bruh how many vanillas

[upbeat coral]

Popular mods are total conversions

Not something for another playthrough

[rich knot]

SWR

[upbeat coral]

Its completely different games

[dusky wind]

but you want me to play vanilla 2 times bro? its a game from 2004 isnt it?

[upbeat coral]

._.

[rich knot]

[upbeat coral]

Kill me

[dusky wind]

was just gonna do one and do modded

[upbeat coral]

Modded literally makes the games worse

[rich knot]

Not for CoP tho

[dusky wind]

then why do so many people love bragging about the mods lmao

[upbeat coral]

CoP cant get any worse, yeah...

[upbeat coral]

They brag about story mods

[ebon tusk]

bc the mods are completely new experiences

[rich knot]

This

[upbeat coral]

Also its not "so many people"
Its just me forcing my ideals onto others

[patent apex]

most gameplay mods detract from the original experience and lack serious polish and balancing

[upbeat coral]

._.

[patent apex]

compared to stuff like story mods which operate differently

HOLD ON

[upbeat coral]

Nah
Most mods do have some sensible balancing

[patent apex]

they don't

like autumn aurora

or remastered

[upbeat coral]

Oh those mods

[patent apex]

or complete

all the popular ones

[upbeat coral]

Complete is slop

[upbeat coral]

Those are slop too

Slop has bad balance

[patent apex]

that's why I said most yeah

[upbeat coral]

Peak has good balance

[patent apex]

90% of what you see immediately is kinda garbage

[upbeat coral]

Thats why you gotta play DSH as your first mod

[patent apex]

nah, radiophobia 3

[upbeat coral]

Radioslopia

If you didnt know
DSH stands for
D peak (d is silent)
S peak (s is silent)
H peak (h is silent)

[ebon tusk]

peak in question

[upbeat coral]

2 monitors
Very peak

[mint vigil]

Spactial anomaly is good

[upbeat coral]

Yes

More than good actually

[serene bridge]

first vanilla og playthrough done of soc

[ruby citrus]

think of mods for stalker as fangames

because that's what they are

you don't mod it like you do skyrim or any other bethesda game

[serene bridge]

EVERY OTHER *

[ruby citrus]

??

[serene bridge]

every other bethesda game

[ruby citrus]

??

[remote pike]

Grammar police, mission faild

[serene bridge]

aint the sentence correct?

[remote pike]

His is, your correction is wrong

[ruby citrus]

hers

[serene bridge]

bruh "you don't mod it like you do skyrim or every other bethesda game"

[ruby citrus]

first of all you need "and" instead of "or" if you're using "every"

second ughhhhh i don't think so

[serene bridge]

not a native english speaker appreciate the suggestion

[upbeat coral]

Gamma police here!
Have some fuсking respect
The arrested one is Grok

[upbeat cradle]

@ebon tusk

[ebon tusk]

yes, youre gonna need to tell me more
what did you install, what are you intending on doing

[upbeat cradle]

i intend on making it vanilla again

[neon socket]

Stalker soc modding

[neon socket]

Then what mods do you have?

[upbeat cradle]

yeah im tired of people making fun of me cause my soc is broken and shit

hold on

[ebon tusk]

like I said, what did you install before

[neon socket]

Did you have some important saves?

[upbeat cradle]

thats what im abou to find out

no

im booting it up

[neon socket]

If no just uninstall and install the game

[upbeat cradle]

it was functional

[ebon tusk]

if you dont know delete the entire folder and redownload the whole game, and turn off cloud saves

[remote pike]

Just delete all files and reinstall soc, ez as that

[upbeat cradle]

fair, it was just weird having emissions every 2 minutes, and zombies spawning each time it ended

[neon socket]

Yeah just delete "mods" and reinstall whole game

[upbeat cradle]

seems normal now

[neon socket]

See?

Easy

[upbeat cradle]

cheers

[neon socket]

Just dont install mods before checking them

[upbeat cradle]

from now on im just going to use mod organiser 2

[neon socket]

And your game will be fine

[ebon tusk]

MO2 doesnt work for Stalker games

[neon socket]

👍

[upbeat cradle]

it dont?

[rich knot]

Only for anomaly and gamma

[upbeat cradle]

damn

[ebon tusk]

MO2 doesnt have Stalker support

[neon socket]

No dont use it

[neon socket]

Its gonna just mess up your files and at least dosent work

[upbeat cradle]

fair

[ebon tusk]

just learn how to manually install mmods and keep a mental note of what mods are there, ez as pie

[upbeat cradle]

what mods should i even use

[neon socket]

Mayby some shaders and ofc gunslinger

[neon socket]

Gunslinger is good mod if you want realistic weapons

But idk if its gonna work on your game

[upbeat cradle]

shaders is a no go, i have to limit storage cause the pc im now using used to belong to my grandpa before he passed. still backing up the 69+ Gigabytes worth of memories out of the pc

[neon socket]

Nuh uh

[neon socket]

Then you can try gunslinger

[rich knot]

Gunslinger is only for CoP and it installs a standalone copy

[neon socket]

But first check your game version

[rich knot]

There is SoC GA but it is standalone too

[ebon tusk]

no mods are a requirement

[upbeat cradle]

i own all of the current stalker games

[neon socket]

And compability

[patent apex]

there's some mod called CoP complete that's mostly bugfixes and weather that I can recommend

[upbeat cradle]

i have played shadow of chernobyl before, ive been everywhere almost.

[neon socket]

Then you can install gunslinger for cop

[patent apex]

it also adds a spawner menu

[ebon tusk]

which begs the question, what do you want, what kind of mod are you looking for

[neon socket]

Cop is 99% perfect for gunslinger

[ebon tusk]

sure if a broken and bad time is what you want

[upbeat cradle]

something that makes a whole new story line, new locations and shit

[patent apex]

gunslinger butchers the weapon variety

oh for that

consult the pinned mod list

[neon socket]

Nah it works on mine pc

Or just watch yt tutorial

👍

[upbeat coral]

Wrong

[patent apex]

decent list

oh I was going to ping chymo

[upbeat coral]

:3

[neon socket]

Why

[upbeat coral]

Gunslinger stinks

[ebon tusk]

AlternativA is a bit too out there for you
try Prossectors Project, or Nature Winter 2.3 for a laugh
https://www.moddb.com/groups/c-consciousness/downloads

[ebon tusk]

the mod is riddled with buggy and patchy systems

[neon socket]

Winter 2.3 is ac good one too

[ebon tusk]

also New Arsenal 7

[upbeat cradle]

i just realised my backspace key was upside down lol

[neon socket]

Gtg i have 4% battery

No life moment

💀

[patent apex]

new arsenal 7 is a fun soup mod

[upbeat coral]

Frontspace

[patent apex]

you can disable the stupid belt thing too

[ebon tusk]

NA7 is not a soup mod

it is not based on NS

[rich knot]

I love having to wait 20 seconds for a character to stop trying to use their PDA because I accidentally clicked P 🥰

[ebon tusk]

it is funny bc it took years for modders to fix the problems and issues with gunslinger

[upbeat cradle]

what is peoples opinions on call of chernobyl??

[patent apex]

oh neat

[ebon tusk]

its freeplay, thats about it

[patent apex]

it's very basic

[rich knot]

Heard IWP for CoC was pretty good

I would play it if I could run it

But from what I heard it's a pretty good mod for CoC

[remote pike]

There is a mod organiser on moddb page for stalker that worked for me on stalker triology

I think the name was 4 Letts long and the icon was like a yellow circle or something

[ruby citrus]

Spatial Anomaly, Valley of Whispers, Wind of Time

after one of those you can try Goldsphere and Return to the Zone

[upbeat coral]

Read my book!

[patent apex]

wind of time can be kinda annoying in the intro with the backtracking

[upbeat coral]

No

Its peak

No idea what the fuсk is going on half the time

Or peak for short

[lean elbow]

uhm

[upbeat coral]

peak slopmod gameplay

[lean elbow]

from what i see its a random kill mission but without details it always fails

you usually get info like name and faction

[upbeat coral]

me when shit mods are shit:

[lean elbow]

That's... the old world mod. people said its good ;_;

[upbeat coral]

its gooder

better in other words

than Anomaly

its by far the least shit way to play Anomaly

but its still meh compared to other full mods

[lean elbow]

im just having fun runing around killing monolith 🙂

CS kinda scewered my enjoyment of the game. i just love shootouts in stalker. Feels as good as the horror moments

[upbeat coral]

screwed as in it was SOOOOO good you cant play combat light stalker games and mods now?

right?

RIGHT?!

[lean elbow]

yea that's exact the thing

i want more shootouts

i want a filled world

with random npcs shooting/walking around

[upbeat coral]

literally Global War

[lean elbow]

oh yeah i like that one

espiecailly that one faction that has obilivon guard npc sounds lol

[upbeat coral]

global peak

[lean elbow]

you play a lot of that mod?

[upbeat coral]

No
I never played it

[gentle salmon]

That mission briefing is an insult to story writing.

[patent apex]

what

it's just generic

it's not terrible or anything but just bland

[patent apex]

based

[gentle salmon]

There's also that porn Quest. Dunno if we can post that here, even if it's just written description and a vague idea of what it is.

[final quiver]

it COULD BE ME .. IT COULD BE YOU... IT COULD BE ANYONE OF US

[upbeat cradle]

where can i find old builds of stalker shadow of chernobyl

[young fable]

In archive.org

[noble basalt]

not sure installing over a steam version directly like that is okay

[upbeat cradle]

please help then

[rich knot]

Pretty sure it's standalone

[mint vigil]

It should be standalones

Not to be installed over like mods

[rich knot]

Just extract it and copy anywhere you like. Unless it's a root folder of a stalker game

[noble basalt]

also try not install it under c:/ disk.

you might need some patch to download though for it to fit your modern day computer

[noble basalt]

can't believe this is SoC

[mint vigil]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Builds

Check wiki for info on how and where to download those.

[spiral relic]

I.W.P best gunplay ever

[upbeat coral]

omg

kot

[lean elbow]

Hmm. playing old world right now. does anyone know if more armor unlocks or is this it for freedom? (im so sad how exo only has 2 artefact slots ;_; )

[upbeat coral]

this is it I think

also with upgrades exo has 3 no?

[lean elbow]

nope. 2 only from what i see

[upbeat coral]

more reasons why you should play Peak Sky over slop mods like An*maly

[lean elbow]

i wonder if i could mod the exo to get a 3 artefact from the get go lol

[patent apex]

it's probably just changing an ltx file

[upbeat coral]

yes
easy as hell

I can do it if you want
but I will need you to send me the file

[upbeat cradle]

Old world mod for anomaly is goated

[remote pike]

My brother in christ, just play call of Chernobyl

[patent apex]

no

[patent apex]

also incorrect

[final quiver]

nope
Oblivien Lost Remake

[upbeat coral]

No

It might be best way to play anomaly but that doesnt make it any good

[torn shale]

Did you make a review on call of the zone? @upbeat coral

I do not see it in the Google doc

[upbeat coral]

no

only story mods

I will probably talk about CotZ sooner or later tho, since it has some small storylines

[torn shale]

Oh does cotz not have a main story?

[upbeat coral]

but the rating probably wont be great
same as short story mods, cant really compare them

[upbeat coral]

nope

[torn shale]

Oh...

[upbeat coral]

its the best freeplay mod out there tho

[torn shale]

sorry but what's freeplay mean?

I presume it means like, story is negligible and you can do whatever the hell you want

[upbeat coral]

no

theres no story

you are supposed to "make your own story"

which half the time just means "we were too lazy to make a story and proper quests so enjoy our randomly generated slop"

I say usually since thats not the case with CotZ
As I said, there are small questlines and the dynamic tasks are good too, they often follow up each other

CotZ is effectively randomized series of hand made quests with few variables

[torn shale]

Oooooh

I see I see

Makes sense yeah

[subtle drum]

Chat I tried global war, they did the warfare mode better than anomaly tbh

Just wish they added more maps

[upbeat coral]

Cant think of a mod that does it worse than Anomaly

[blazing lichen]

GAMMA

[tardy birch]

Anomaly Custom

[blazing lichen]

ong that stuff is slop

[patent apex]

surprised efp wasn't mentioned

[blazing lichen]

i think warfare in EFP is the same as anomaly tbh i just know from gamma server that warfare doesnt really work properly with all the mods in the list

[upbeat coral]

its so over

[dire crow]

It's never Burover

[final quiver]

So , what exactly this channel for

I get confused

[patent apex]

mod talk

[final quiver]

soooo basicly..we post mods screenshots and talk abotu mods ?

[patent apex]

yes?

[rich knot]

You can post screenshots

Or you might ask for help relating to mods

[final quiver]

that's interesting

[rich knot]

Or help with modding

Also you can talk about mods in the #⭐┃nospoilers_general because that's for everything stalker

[ruby citrus]

yes??

[final quiver]

interesting...

[upbeat coral]

In that case

[upbeat coral]

Its so pseudover

[tardy birch]

Susat on striker?

[upbeat coral]

so uhh

what mod had the most peak maps?

[tired spruce]

hmm the fogotten alpha imo

[upbeat coral]

the garbage was peak, yeah

[abstract spade]

Lost World Origin seems fun

Shame I can't get it to work

[upbeat coral]

looks interesting

nice selection of levels from what the description says

[dire crow]

Yes, the adjustable close-range scope.

[subtle drum]

Was playing global war once, saw the PDA map and noticed tons of unused maps

Can anyone tell me a mod that adds these?

[tardy birch]

Kinda weird but I dont judge

Monolith does

Wow

[patent apex]

and darkscape was a good call to cut tbh

[idle matrix]

Darkscape was meant for when vehicles were in the game. Without them it doesn't make a lot of sense.

[patent apex]

vehicle sections are also just rarely fun

I don't see it being a fun experience in SoC considering how they run in most of the many mods to replicate them

[idle matrix]

I like the bus in darkscape in OP-2. It's comically fast and barely controllable. It's not good but it is entertaining

[ruby citrus]

you WILL deliver sidorovich's buggy

[dire crow]

I love Darkscape. I don't have to have a vehicle/

Vehicles are a lot of fun:

[upbeat coral]

Leading bandits to the promised land (Dark Valley)?

What mod is that?

[dire crow]

Some early 2007 version of the Faikes Mod. I don't think anyone even uses these ancient Mods anymore.

[subtle drum]

damn ok thx

[dire crow]

There is a basic Vehicle Mod that should work on any version of the three games.

[dire crow]

Just realized where your name and profile picture comes from.

[open orchid]

anyone with OGSE, can you please tell me how to get to Dead City?

no possible paths show up

[upbeat coral]

It becomes available after Yantar

But I suggest you only go there as part of "Klondike of Artifacts" and "Find a BTR" quests

Klondike is started in Cordon by talking to some guy in the basement
BTR is mission from Lukash in Warehouses

[open orchid]

i already got to brainscorcher

need 2nd part of password

with yantar, im cleared everythin escept the unknown artifact quest, the thing wont go into the suitcase

lukash, i also cleared everything but he not giving me anything else to do D:

[upbeat coral]

Did you Rescue Owls group?

[open orchid]

who that?

i need to save one messenger in dead city for the 2nd part of the code

[upbeat coral]

Its part of the Klondike quest

You will need to go to Cordon and find everyone from Owls group

[open orchid]

i had to kill the guy in cordon underground at the base of sidovircch

[upbeat coral]

OGSE has you run back and forth a lot if you dont follow the guide

[open orchid]

fak... im tempted to just start fresh shadows again

[upbeat coral]

Wait
I got the path coordinates immidiately after X-16

Maybe from Ghosts corpse

[open orchid]

ye i touched ghost twice now

also went to strelok stash few times

talked to barkeep, n doctor, n sidovich, and im confused af

[upbeat coral]

Also if you rescue the Freedomers from Red Forest, Lukash should give you coordinates to underground passage that leads there

[open orchid]

my red forest quest only got turn of brain scorcher

[upbeat coral]

Theres nothing we can do

Do you have any hardsaves prior to X-16?

[open orchid]

nope

what should i have done b4 entering x-16?

[neat dune]

chymo8658 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

You get the coords after it

So something got fuсked while you were there

[upbeat coral]

Fuсk you Wolf!

I could send you my save but that will have to wait till Friday

[neon socket]

These textures look so good, but they don't fit the 20 year old models

Like it genuinely looks like minecraft with optifine with those models

You know those super awesome hyperrealistic texture packs that look great but then everything is blocky and it just looks breh

[upbeat coral]

it looks weirdly cheap in a way

[dire crow]

I'm not really into Mods that turn the Zone into a jungle and limit visibility to 50 meters.

[upbeat coral]

Nobody is

[dire crow]

That's about all I see with the Anomaly & Gamma posts on facebook

[upbeat coral]

yeah but you cant exactly take those people seriously, can you?

[dire crow]

I have to. I manage a Stalker Facebook group where I see all Mods. I have some great people that post nothing but Anomaly & Gamma. We don't have subsections.

I see a lot of colorful screenshots from Gamma & Anomaly, They looks great but I just don't get a Stalker vibe from them. It's like I'm looking at some other game.

I have Group Experts that handle all the Anomaly & Gamma questions and problems for me. They are all decent and nice people.

There are many new people that arrive, that know nothing but Anomaly or Gamma. They cringe at the retail games.

But what do I know? I'm playing an obscure Mod that few people have heard of, made by a man that is now deceased.

[upbeat coral]

Gamma is just Tarkov and Rust offspring set in empty and lifeless Stalker maps

[dire crow]

What more do you need than Grok?

[upbeat coral]

Demosfen ||(aka Grok from the universe where everyone is based as hell)||

[dire crow]

All you need is Grok. Grok is all you need.

[dire crow]

I think I tried Demosfen when it first came out. Got about 3 frames a second.

[upbeat coral]

its based

and the author is even more based

[upbeat coral]

"its not stolen I told the authors I taking the model"

[blazing lichen]

Daily proof on why gamma players are retarded lol @upbeat coral

[upbeat coral]

Ah yes
"AAA slop"

As if Gammas only selling point werent stolen AAA textures slapped onto 2004 models

[ruby citrus]

"i hate aaa slop!!!"
plays the "we need to turn stalker into AAA slop" mod

[upbeat coral]

Literally

[blazing lichen]

Lol

[blazing lichen]

I actually uninstalled gamma and anomaly from my pc

Feels good tbh

[upbeat coral]

Rel rel

[blazing lichen]

I'm playing modded skyrim now

Gamma just was taking room I needed

[upbeat coral]

If only western modders realized DBs exist and can be replaced

[blazing lichen]

It's crazy this modpack I'm using has 3600+ mods yet still runs more optimized then gamma and loads things faster lol

[upbeat coral]

Because gamma is gay slop

While skyrim mods are just gay

Except that one that replace the dragon at start with Thomas the tank engine

[ruby citrus]

good :3

[ruby citrus]

enderal playthrough when

[upbeat coral]

It was so peak

[upbeat coral]

When I buy it or obtain it by other means

Probably second option

Because I want the less gay original version before all those 572947298 re-releases

Maybe once I beat lorerim
