hey-hey, people! hope you're having a lovely Sunday.
could anyone please recommend a purely bugfix mod for SoC? something that only fixes bugs, but doesn't add new models/quests/weapons, doesn't change the balance, etc?
I've looked through the pinned messages, but didn't see an answer. thanks in advance ^^
I actually got a most helpful answer from someone!
so far, it's just what I wanted
and very configurable - easy to add/remove QoL features
I picked the vanilla configuration
but I bet I'll cave in and make a few tweaks later on - e.g., I hate timed quests, so I'll probably give myself more time to complete them
shush
Mol1t is my bestie
it's not needed, SoC is completely fine
for CS though install SRP
shush
They just take almost no damage from the aftereffects like all NPCs
You must have played with ZRP or something
I did a playthrough with a mod called memories of the zone where they die to it
never
Yep. Natvac lies and tricks people into using his massive mod, by pretending they are getting bug fixes only and it is still vanilla, that he has been working on the ZRP for over 15+ years, constantly adding content and tweaking it. It is far from vanilla as there are many, many default changes you cannot control, and that you cannot see. Sure he lets you toggle a few things to give the illusion of choices. The ZRP retards spawns of men and mutants and makes the game so much easier. I pleaded with him over 15+ years ago to just release bug fixes ONLY and he refused, as he wants people to play his massive Mod in his vision of what the game should be only. He is so consumed by his version, it has produced 100+ times more bugs than it ever originally fixed, this is why he has to constantly update it. He gatekeeps r/stalker to trick and lie to new people, into using his massive mod. This is just an FYI. The other two bug fixes for Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat do not do this. It is only the ZRP and its psychopath creator.
I GOT BOXES FULL OF BUGFIXES
This is a perfect meme and description.
a version of that except it's ZRP would be great
Imagine creating an entire website, that still looks like it's 2002, just to get people to use your so-called "bug-fixes". Smh.
it's the stalker mod equivalent of FFN
crazy ahh lore
damn, thanks for the knowledge\
huh! that's a hell of an accusation 
ofc, I'm akmost a total newb - only finished SoC once when it came out and played it a few times since then
so you probably know better, and I mean no disrespect
is there something to read/watch on the topic?
I've been playing ZRP on the "vanilla" config and I haven't spotted any differences, apart from vastly i proved performance, less sound bugs, etc.
it's exactly the kind of rabbit hole I'd love to fall into 🙂
is it though? I was barely able to get the Steam version running on my modern machine, and still crashed at times. launching and loading took 5 minutes, sound kept bugging out, icons and texts were very misaligned...
I would be OK if it were fhe same bugs I had 15 and 10 years ago, but most of this stuff is new. and, well, it's so much it becomes immersion-breaking for me
the new stuff is why it's breaking 
nope. it was breaking on 1.0006 unmodded
and it had a ton of new bugs I haven't seen on the CD version
and ZRP fixed that
i have a modern machine and never had issues
same
meant the hardware goofus smh
Reason: Bad word usage

ah, I see. makes sense!
I've been trying to find any breakdown of the stuff ZRP gets wring, and I'm coming up empty so far
all I can see is people calling it vanilla and praising it
are you people trolling me, or am I missing something? 😅
well the GSC forums were shut down so you wont find much for in depth analysis, youll need to know another english to search other enthusiast forums
Which soup mod should I get into first, NLC 7? op2.2? I heard most of them arent in english are any of them fully or mostly translated?
I saw a reccomendation and they hold NLC in high regard
but it sounds like op2.2 is like the elden ring bg3 of stalker mods with several hundred hours of playtime lol
imma try to finish goldsphere before I delve into some soup but man the more I hear about these mods the more excited I get
this hypes me tf up
DSH
this is horrible advice
play ns2016
or 2020
or whichever the FRIG is the most up to date version (OGSR i think)
all of which can be found on the c-con spreadsheet
OP-2. Installation is pretty simple, has an english translation by default with a patch to translate some additional lines, the wiki is also a good resource if you ever get stumped or stuck
It is the biggest and most chaotic one but if you want a soup experience I say go all the way
um gulp, that says nlc hard edition, um gulp does that mean its gulp harder
having chat GPT 4.0 english translations sounds really good tho
easier, actually, its QOL changes like giving UIs to many interections
plus for translations we ran the outputs by natives multiple times and rewrote a lot to make sure it was accurate and coherent
"we"? did you help create this?
yes
oh wow nice, you are part of a dev team or just helped out on translations or what?
I was part of the translation team
nice, thanks for allowing me to comphrehend the game better
alright that NLC hard edition seems like the move, once im in the mood for another mod experience thatll be next on the list
its abouts drive, its about power
dude goldsphere is overwhelming i got like 6 things to do in cordon
and im stuck on finding the marauders stash
for the "All that isnt Gold" quest
I love playing Stalker gamma!
now that I have the Goldsphere fans attention, I need help, how tf do I get the Deathlamp artifact
IVe tried different angles, ive tried shooting the spotlight away, ive tried yoloing it
the note says the guy tried it at different angles and I swear ive done a lap now
saw a youtube comment say it has to do with the Dark cloud anomaly right next to it but I tried jumping into the middle of that one then going to the lamp and that doesnt help either
im taking a break, need to cool off and play some stalker slop instead OH BOY SLOP
behold SOC with gunslinger
Grok yourself
You gotta go up the pole
Prefferably in 3rd perspn
So it doesnt blind you
that timing is so hard, by the time I reach the pole the 2nd flash is going off, I have ot jump up the pole in third person and hope I can grab the lamp in like 2 seconds thats really the only way?
hey guys, completed SOC and CS without modifications
should i go for some mod for CoP? or should i play it vanilla too? also can someone help with mod installation, cuz last time, when i tried,on SoC i have got such a big anomaly that it deleted my safefile, and i wasnt even able to launch new game, and that anomaly even crashed my game when i tried
i mean might as well go for vanilla since you did SoC an CS without mods, Sena said it CoP is the most stable oout of the box
oh damn, thats cool then! thx for advice! also, stable as in fact that artifacts actually spawn, and bandits dont randomly snipe with saw-offs?
wait what, isnt it newer game?
oh wow
ohhh, and itll run normally on win10 without my screen blacking out?
i mean, when alt-tabing
let's move to #⭐┃nospoilers_general , ig, since were now discussing vanilla
vanilla, CoP is the most stable :3
объект
:333333
okay! thx!
it works even in fullscreen now! thx!
yeah its quite buggy, but it doesnt feel like its gonna crash every time i use alt-tab lmao
win-d still doesnt work
yeah, even tho i dont know what it is
also for some reason it uses alt-tab screen of around xp timeslmao
oh
cool
oh wow, cool!
im sorry, i meant anomalous, not buggy
Born to dilly dally
Forced to Grok in
All stalker games are 32 bit
Including CoP
Yes
Its peak
Does anyone know how to change the render type for Coc Iwp? Mine is set and locked to auto
Bruh...so there´s no known way to force different render types? That´s a shame
Best mods/ mod pack for SoC to improve the game without majorly changing it?
people have been a little heated by the mentioning of zrp lately, but i think that is what you are looking for
Memories of the Zone adds weapon upgrades
Although they make the unique weapons less appealing
I think it also improves graphics a little

SWR SoC pack
Still WIP though
Didn't know that they were developing SWR for SoC 
I used it in CS and I saw there were Versions of it for lost alpha, CoC, CotZ, and CoP but I thought they just skipped the support for SoC
Well since OGSR engine support CoP rig so.. No wonder its compatible.
Does anyone that played Coc Stason know if kill mutant quests are supposed to always be bugged? Even in the initial Fanatic questline the places I´m supposed to clear have no mutants in them.
Also how and where can I get the "fast travel artifact"? I forgot the translated name cuz some things are in Russian
Ty for the suggestion, turns out I was playing a hell of an outdated version
I DID
wha is statson
A mod for stalker CoC made by statson174
a vasyan CoC fork, not too interesting
boRING
Crazy how Stason just fell into oblivion, even Dead Air 0.98 and CoM are more talked about
We could almost say it got lost...
In the oblivion...
Bit late, but do you remember the distress signal mission in cordon? The second part is about finding a medical bag for the guy outside the cave/tunnel that leads to darkscape, I swear this thing is impossible to find, do you perhaps know where the bag spawns???
Nvm found it, So weird that Stason find x bag quests DON'T show a model of a bag but just a spot to press f
search stason's VK group, maybe there are guides 💅
Actually peak
New anomalies
is that Radiophobia?
I don't know. These were shared on my Stalker FB group.
I'm not used to all these new HUDs that cram everything on the bottom.
faster reload when ?
no 
DROP DEAD
Sleep with the fish
I'm not car driver
hello Bloom
The heck is that?
i don't remember toz106 have a thing to attach stuff bruh
definitly vanilla aesthetic. but NPC's also reload with same animations too, so yeah they will reload pretty long time 
i think OGSR supports reload animations when the weapon is not fully spent. maybe with blender you can shorten those animations so the player changes the mag only. shortening the reload time to match vanilla reload time.
Did anyone in here play the mod "Dreamcatcher"
Chymo probably has
@upbeat coral
Actually he has
goldsqueer
You played "Dreamcatcher" right?
yes
Im doing a side quest for juggernaut, I cleared a snork lair and now I have to talk with him, according to the map he is on the roof however I checked multiple times and he isn't there, do you know perhaps where he is
hes probably inside the attic however the doors are locked and I cant even enter
send me the save
found 3 characetrs in the camp who have dialogues mentioning the attic
no useful info yet
alright
tried asking the mercs but they dont know anything either
maybe try waiting until Scythe (the sleepy guy with sweater on second floor) wakes up and ask him
old world redux + natural reshade
Can someone help me Im trying to unpack the voicelines from cop but it doesn't work, literally every other sound extracts but character_voice i've used two different unpackers
just unpack the entire databse files and pick the sound files
check pins for the guide for the CLI tool
still no dice
whats the problem youre facing
eh just forget about it, ill figure something else out
are you sure youre running the command properly or using the unpacker serial correctly? send me your command prompt, Ill try to help
in Trapped pyrogeist have the physical poltergeist form until you get close, then they go into attack mode and turn into the fireball
pretty cool
if i download stalker call of chernobyl, but i already installed anomaly will there be issues?
like i want to play coc but i dont want anomaly to get corrupted or something
both are ass
neither is stalker
unless you overwrite anomaly with CoC files (installing in the anomaly file) it will be okay
aight so if i dowload coc in seperate folder itll be fine?
fuc
CoC is meant for people who own and played the trilogy and just want to roam around and explore the locations again
including the cut ones
so guys
if theres anyone who would like to help me track down stalker maps and their history to make a spreadsheet (filename, author, first official appearance, used in games/mods...) please ping me
i'm pretty sure it was already done by the zone chronicles wiki, map articles have detailed edits descriptions and it all should be available in builds&binaries
no, but there's no reason to play CoC
so is there no reason to play Anomaly :3

do you guys have any favorite vanilla+ mods for Call of Pripyat that aren’t gunslinger or Misery?
I have come in search for decent vanilla+ mods for Call of Pripyat that doesn’t turn the game super hardcore or reinvent the wheel too much! I’ve played gunslinger but I’ve done 2 playthroughs and wanna try something new! thank you, stalkers!
Misery isnt vanilla+ and Gunslinger changes the balancing and adds 2 quests
PCP or AI Merge
Thanks!
Yes, it is very appealing to play the games, the balanced way that GSC released them but to have all the content of the trilogy. Additionally CotZ takes it to the next level.
it's peak
@upbeat coral how long is trapped?
6-10 hours

Hi everyone, if you've heard about SWR before, now you can play the Shadow of Chornobyl version. Vanilla weapons with gunslinger animations
https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/stalker-weapon-reanimation-soc
This is what I was looking for ever since I saw Gunslinger for CoP! Thank you!
In all other aspects it's vanilla SoC?
yes
That's awesome! Do I understand correctly that you have the same thing for all games in the trilogy? Weapon animations without any balance changes like the damn burers in Gunslinger CoP?
did you restric the AI to simulate the one in the OG game or did you just let the OGSR Base AI sit
I didn't change the settings for the AI
right, and I assume its also using the Gunslinger skeleton and inertia
no, i turned off inertia
ho nice, Ill try it out someday
How long does it take for moderators on mod.io to review your unpublished mods? Do they get back at the author with reasons for not approving a mod perhaps?
anyone know how to turn off the DOF effects with the IWP mod on COC?
ohh
The games I play are too fuсking old to even feature that shit
Iwp is dx11 only
Someone delete that message.
I've already reported him, for the same post in another channel. Waiting to see the verdict.
You can delete+report
Best to always delete the scams/self adverts
Oh yeah, I instantly wanted to delete it, but I just wanted to be sure.
Did you change your name and PFP?
Weren't you a picture of Ryan Gosling in the Zone or was that someone else?
I change it often
Seems like a lot of people do. I'll replace my Halloween theme at the end of the month, but that's about it for me.
average op2 playthrough
Ive had like 20 different kot pfps
But this one stays
Its peak
Did you say peak?
Is this what you mean? 🙃
Like in master difficulty Gunslinger? 
No gunslinger difficulty is peak
Yes
is that a Karlik?
That psy version I mean
Very good.
I still have PTSD from Karliks in Wind of Time
custom modpack testing
couldve fooled me if you told me it was a Unity Basic Template
Acid
it looks like acid, spit into my eyes
if you think about it hard enough, Gamma is an arthouse film
If you think about it hard enough
Gamma is AI art
is this a roundabout way of calling it bad
you can just come out and say it nobody cares
nah it’s an arthouse film
yhea, french and shit
I dunno there's some good slow burn stuff
90% it is just terrible padding
but that 10% is peak
ok so I figured the r2_dof_near and far commands but still cant get rid of the effect when reloading and aiming
lemme send a video
big gif probably not gonna load properly
holy
im slow
there is advanced settings
DoF right there
@ornate pulsar henlo
I downloaded some maps but cant open them in Hybrid Xray SDK because I dont have the .level file
I suppose I need to decompile the files to get that? How do I do that?
please great map man
my fate depends on you

I'll send you the necesaary decompiling tools tomorrow
I'm at my phone atm
Can't help you much
no worries bro, I found the settings in the game. They were just hidden behind the advanced settings button I didnt notice at first.
Im just blind
thanks for the help though 🙂
yeah learning that one the hard way
lol
have you tried the new CryRay engine? its really nice
PiP scopes are so good looking with the IWI mod
I dont believe so
just a more stable engine AFAIK
check out this mod for it too https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/coc-1422-iwp-improved-weapon-pack
really noice
custom agressor reshade

This guy DID NOT bake his shadows in
lol
35 days left happy hunting to everyone
good hunting stalker
Man I really gotta steal these guys
They are peak
Gigachad 2 meters tall Ewoks
Why does he sound like his mouth is full of really hot potatoes?
hehe boy
go to the c-con server, at the stalker-news channel
rammaken released a new toolkit
it contains level decompilers, as well
give me a link to the server please
i'll send it in your dms
They are sob. They are the true bullet sponge in the games. You can empty an entire magazine into them and they keep coming. They move around so fast like they are on roller skates.
This is peak SG https://i.imgur.com/U7ECCR8.jpg
After GSC shutdown, he became professional motorcycle racer for team BMW Motorrad.
"Marked One, What the Hell?!"
thats new lore
damn
Is there something like OGSR but for Clear Sky?
https://github.com/OGSR/OGSR-Engine
It has DLAA, some crazy high shadow map resolutions, etc. but I believe it's only for SoC
out of the box? now
but you can prob ask Susel how hes working with AXRAY
Dezowave my beloved
Man I sure hope Old Concept will be a faithful recreation
Its not like Dezowave already let us down with bunch of promises once before

Did you notice the date on that PC in the lower right corner?
Damn
Year 2029
August 29, 2012. Two years before Lost Alpha was released.
Nuh uh
Year is always the last number
The month is not 2012 and the day is not 2012. So you are in error.
Xray engine was source engine all the time
I came across this annotated PDA Map for the Forest level that I made. The red line is the actual path I took compared to the road that most people might take. This gives you an idea what kind of Player I am. The last section with the loop was me searching the ground for very rare artifact.
Says who?
I'm tired of you either playing dumb or not getting what I am trying to tell you over and over again. I like you so please don't be so difficult.

I have no idea why date shows up fucked up PC in Hungary. That is Dez's computer. Dez as in Dez0wave. Dez made ALL the levels in Lost Alpha.
I am sorry. I am irritable today because I do not feel good. I did not mean to snap at you. My apology. @upbeat coral

try SWR SoC 
@raw nexus
@sleek python1 question soc wont launch after i set resolution to 1080p in game
i did reinstall
and verify files
do you run the OGRS engine in the bin_x64 folder?
got it, then I don't know the answer
God Mode
Is the 0.8 beta on moddb the most up to date version of GUNSLINGER?
I mean, who says that 2012 can’t be a day?
There are such things as Alternative Universes
(This is a joke btw)
But honestly, I can’t believe that 2012 was just 2 years ago 😭 😭 😭
a very weird anomolous thing happened to the backpack lol

i got banned of it cus saying ukraine lmao

good you dont need to be around those losers
may ukraine bless them with himars strikes ong
didnt you agree with the rules?
didnt read
Is the call of chernobyl mod good for pripyat
@exotic shale For atmosfear, absolute nature, and absolute Structures you just need to install the file, extract it, and run it and just check if it is the right install path, which it usually is.
Okay so I just download extract and slap this 4 files into my steam call of pripyat directory right??
yes
better use JSGME just to be sure
also installing Open Xray might help with stability
Not sure how the engine will handle all this
can u still play call of chernobyl in 2024????
or is anomaly better???
when trying vanilla vibe
Call of chernobyl/call of the zone
Anomaly is shit
Just get CoTZ or IWP
iwp i saw it but it looked complicated to install
is call of the zone like a full game????
Tourist said that the standalone version of IWP will come
This guy....
COTZ should be easier to install
yes standalone
ok i will download
Anomaly is dogshit
Like
Its not even a competition
Anomaly is just CoC but worse
Less lively, worse balance, worse main quest, not aligned with canon lore..
Bloated to the brim
the guy who made cotz passed away:(
rip DoctorX
i kinda hope GSC does a little tribute to him would be cool to find an unmarked grave where we can pay respects
CoTZ is prob my favorite mod
Too bad we can only wonder what CotZ would have looked like if DocX was still with us
If he maybe made a desdoc or 2do list
I would love to read through that
Hello anybody here played True Stalker mod?
I hvae a massive problem
I can't save the game
same
Nor load it
Do you know how to fix it?
thats a fix
NOOOOOOOO
Reason: Bad word usage
that fixed it for me
Like quicksave or?
There sure must be some info on it in the patch log
You didnt keep the zipped files?
I'm not a computer man
Also
Are you using latest patch?
thank you for your help awesome people
the 1.5 patch? Idk if i installed it properly but yeah
Also also
The story is kinda eh
In next version it will get a rewrite so maybe wait for that
Or dont, at least you will get to replay and see what changed
I don't really play for the story but for the gameplay
Of the popular mods TS has some of the better side content
So far
It starts strong
Then it goes up and down and up and down
And then just down
Idk I just completed my first sidorovich task
Damn
and then either dogs or anomalies killed me
and as you know
I can't save
I had to start all over again

Sisyphus must feel happy
I loved anomaly for the fact that there was story
._.
anomaly is more like free roam
Anomaly has less story than most mods
Its just bad retelling of trilogy missions but with worse balance and messed up order
It fails at every single thing it does
yea
the missons are not in order
like if u start as a loner u can go straight to the ecologists get ur psy helmet then disable brain scorcher
and miracle machine
I don't really have anything to even oppose it wasn't really good but I just liked that there was anything to do beside free roam
Is trapped better than it?
The virtually nonexistent story of Trapped is definitely better than LTTZ
I mean
Living Legend kinda works, its ehh but no abysmal
But the rest is just.. ugh
I think the only reason I have some feeling towards anomaly story is because I spent 8 hours one sitting to finish the questline and I was just so happy to finish it
The sin quest line is such a slog. I just wanted it to be over
Nobody is shitting on true stalker
Damn even my first cutscene bugged i think it's not a good sign
yhea the story started strong than it got shit, then it got worse
the game has no A-Life, its a bland and tasteless ammount of running back and forth and the only good battle is at the end of the game bc the enviroment is new and not yet seen anywhere but AlternativA 1.4 that ALSO had that type of enviroments
the quests arent bad but its frontloaded with good ones then wears out tis only plot convinience to the point of complete joke
its the triple A of stalker mods, its generic, plays not so good, has no depth
all looks, no actual stuff
Third favourite past time you say?
First is shitting on Gunslinger I suppose
But what is second?
NOOO I STILL CAN'T SAVE
Nah
Reason: Bad word usage
Lol
Get Wolf'd
Dont do that
its joever
That shit kills you
make sure you are installing the game on a folder thats not protected
this means dont intsall the game in a folder where you need administrator previleges
the fix is easy, grab the game folder and drag it to desktop, then launch the game thru the exe
I already have it on my desktop
start the game as an administrator
start the setup as an administator
the game
Doing it rn
I dont know what kind of esotirical programming youre doing there ...Im not calling you that
there
will my call of the zone crash and break when i set my graphics to max
Shouldnt happen
shouldnt happen
What are the good mods
Unless you added bunch of addons
Like a LOT of addons in which case it may run out of memory
only mod to stalker I played is anomaly and now true stalker
For first proper story mod either Throny Way and its sequels or the Bad Company trilogy
sometimes truck cemetry and jupiter suffer from memory crashes when loading in when on max graphics but its not bad but thats due to it being on 32 bit engine
Alternatively click the link in my bio
It leads to my mod spreadsheet
I would say AZM is pretty good, I thought I was gonna hate the artifact system but I actually found it suprisingly fun to work as a money sink
Return to the Zone, Legend Returns, Spatial Anomaly, OGSR Legacy, Valley of Whispers, Game of Souls

Its not fully finished but its always growing
And Goldsphere
gamma?
Those names don't even sound anything like stalker 😭
Shush
no
if you want stalker, just play stalker, you were gonna play True Stalker which ISNT stalker
its a mod
even cotz isnt stalker
its NOT stalker, its its own creative project
do those good mods have integrated better guns or do i have to install them
._.
only the 3 games are canon stalker
Its just a joke hold your horses cowpoke 😭
Depends from mod to mod
wdym integrated better guns, you dont have "addons"
Mods like Thorny Way, Trapped or Spatial Anomaly have integrated gunpacks
STCOP 2.5 in all three cases I believe
I'll check them out tommorow
gunpacks? every mod I have just said uses a gunpack different from the OG
Thing is most mods dont really need it
Well
No mod needs it
And not all mods would benefit from it
like I said
thank you gunslinger hater
you need to give the game admin previleges or put it in a folder that doesnt need them, since the game is trying to create a file and doesnt have the previleges
it's so goofy
Never happened to me smh
now I can actually play this game
this goes for any game, not just stalker, if a game doesnt save or create a file properly, remember this
I'll remember this master
Okay true stalker just got the biggest L I experienced yet
I can't kill a guy I just saved
true stalker is very hard
No
not really
lol i was trolling
No
No
"I was just acting like an idiot guys"
Its literally the same

Only difference being that anomaly artifacts are useless crap
Yes
Ah yes
This 4kg box with a healing artifact will only need 18 minutes to heal 30% of my HP
Truly a miraculous artifact
2% increase in bullet resistance!?!?
Definitely not inferior to a fuсking medkit in every way
or, my favorite, LITERALLY NOTHING
and 6msv per second:)
I miss the old days of shadow of chernobyl where i just went to agroprom without even a detetector and came back with 10000000 roubles worth of artifiacts
artifact containers are such a pain
My favourite is the one that according to story makes you bullet and explosion proof
And then its actual effects are like 20% debuff to bullet and explosive resistance
NLC style artifact containers are p cool, especially bc not all artifacts are radioactive, however, Misery Style Containers suck
they are shit
Yes
I think that's the volat emerald
Man NLC is such good mod
Too bad it sucks
lol
Like
It got so many cool features
elemental resistance for instant death upon being hit with a projectile
But you just dont want to play it
I need to try and transplant the cooking artifacts feature into OGSR Legacy
imagine...
my fav artefact is anomolous bread
anyway
lol
You mean the one that does absolutely nothing
yea
i love artefacts that do nothing
While emitting more radiation than the best module can handle
there is no effect for this artifact

bread+medusa = moonlight
It has +1% to satiety
But since its not the +1 like in CoP where it would equal to quarter of bread, but instead +1 kcal which is precisely 1/357th of single bread

WOOO
THATS SO MUCH
Its supposed to be per second but not even that works
I don't like artifact cooking because it doesn't really add much
OMG STALKER GAMMA SO MUCH IRONMAN DAY 1 I FINALLY BOUGHT MYSELF 1 PIECE OF BREAD WOOO
It does the effect like every ten seconds
Goldsphere did it better
lol idk what artifact cooking is
you need more artifacts that are better and wackier to really string all the interesting parts from it
imagine if you merge 2 high level artifacts to create a ultra level artifact but doing so is so expensive and specific that its balanced by how obscure it is
shout out to that one artifact in legends return that makes you instantly starve to death
never used it if it even exists
Peak
artifacts just aren't that interesting, stat wise
in some mods you can throw artifacts and items into anomalies for some time to create new artifacts, in a cooking manner
there ain't any with silly effects
which is why I say, you gotta bother to make new artifacts, you have all new interesting effects like make certain mutants passive or make you jump higher
the ceiling is how much imagination you have
you are already rebalancing artifacts by making a cooking system might as well go balls to the walls
Artifacts that let you see your karma, can kill hostiles in a radius, can destroy plague hotspots, let you extract valuable info from characters...
Or the best yet
Give you random artifact when you kill swamp cultists
Jekan please
Bless us with more mods
or faster interaction with objects or
honestly
I might be hung for this
but I really like some of the perk artifacts in that one anomaly mod
like the kicking mutants one
and the idea of running into electro anomalies for a benefit is great
Isnt there an artifact you can throw like anomalous grenade in that mod?
Like it explodes and spawns few anomalies
no but that sounds kickass
I swear Ive seen that somewhere
And Im sure it was in some preview and not in something I played myself
Knot is short for Kot Not
one that teleports you to whatever you kill
one that is supposed to spawn a bunch of money on headshot
Kot Not my Fellow STOCers
I will Kot the Grok followers once and for all
one that makes you deal more damage which each shot you hit but hurts you on miss
uhh

there's one that reduces mutant damage and player movement speed the more times you're attacked at once
shame it's in anomaly
yeah
I would kill for some of these in vanilla SoC
a game with actually fun combat

Its not even OWA compatible is it?
nope
Damn
i remember when playing OWA the artifacts were buffed
Playing SoC with Aurora mod and I'm in || the brain lab || and after I reach the control room, any save there is corrupted and the game will crash if I try to load it. Is there anything I can do?
IWP
I mean the standalone mod that simmilar or have more content
Anomaly :3
Anomaly doesnt have more content
It has more items sure but its dogshit mod
Download CotZ if you want actually good freeplay mod
Alaight let me check the mod pag first
CotZ is basically CoC with some extra features and much much better quests
What with the hate it prety good
I play it log time ago
Ive played enough mods to know Anomaly isnt good
Its just bunch of stolen addons poorly glued together
It doesnt do single thing well
Hey i used to play oblivion lost mod for story good old time
CotZ itself is built on CoC
This is port to IWP, upgraded CotZ with new guns, mechanics and engine
Personally I would recommend standard CotZ
Maybe disable the mugging feature with addons tho, it gets very annoying rather quickly
I made up my mind i will download cotz when i get home haha
As prefer free roaming and shooting thing as well
Does the npc faction or mutans respawn or they stay dead forever
I remember in vanilla stalker the map get so empty as the enemies dont faction dont respaw
They respawn but it might take a while
Also dont listen to Yuri when it comes to mods
Hes an absolute clown and never gives any reason for what he says
Also also
If you ever decide to play story mods, I got a link to spreadsheet in my bio
Wwho yuri ? The anime p4p dude ?
Haha i see
Is that mods list name i don't get it
Its mods I finished complete with ratings, reviews and download links
I dont see cotz in here
Can you recommend me a mod that have the most completed features like have the most content story and replay or post story gameplay value i like to hang around after the main story end like doing repeatedly side quest roaming around killing things is it cotz ?
I just realized now for some reason that since Stalker 2 is made in Unreal Engine 5 and you can use a gamepad, there's a good chance we will have a relatively functioning virtual reality mod for it almost instantly due to the UEVR injector 🍀
Do i need coc to play cotz
The mod page dont reveal much info
Oh nvm it a stand alone
Goldsphere has lots of side content but its not beginner friendly mod
try OGSR
the pre Gunslinger version
its basically Shadow of Chernobyl with more content and better engine
Damn so many option so each stand alone mod you listed there have different story and some tweaked and upgrades here and there
I remember why i play anomaly now it because it top featured mod and there are so many orther options
yes
well, even the mods that arent standalone often have new features
and they are usually done pretty well too
At fist i certain that i wwill down load cotz now i even more confuse haha
I think i wwill try cotz first
cotz is a weird mod
you cant level transiton
what the lenght on your mod review mean ? story lenght
i tried to level transiton from cordon to swamp and it didnt work
nothing happened and i was on the transiton
i checking the dreamcatcher mod look pretty dope
Yes
How long it will take to finish the story while doing few sidequests here and there
With Goldsphere there are 2 values
2 to 4 hrs ? for dreamcatcher ?
The second value is 100% completion
holy shit goldshere game hrs there must be hunred of mission
Do they all launch on a diffrent launcher?
No
These three arent standalone
Altho if you have the game from CD or GOG store then you can get multiple copies
On steam its only one copy at a time
Noo
I have stalker on steam
Idk nothing about modding 😭
I never modded the original stalkers
it just extract and play for standalone mod
The only thing I would ever consider changing about the og stalkers is the gunplay
try SWR SoC
What is that
Stalker Weapon Reanimated
Does it
what?
Fix the umm
The fact that in og stalkers the bullets fly however they like
Not following any logic?
how long is the cotz game lenght? @upbeat coral
bullet sponge enemy?
sorry for the ping :>
AIM FOR THE HEAD
Like if I aim at something will I hit it or do I have to magdump to hit 3 shots
No reason to aim in the body
This kinda sounds interesting
Is there any youtube tutorial on how to download it?
Because I have a massive skill issue
simple,
download latest OGSR Engine in github
What is that 😭
and drag and drop the binx64
its improved engine that use CoP/CS code
like this where it support CoP rigs
As long as you are willing to play it
Its freeplay
Doesnt have actual conclusion
What is cotz
Call of the Zone
Is it good?
yes
Its solid
alaight thanks mate
its good freeplay mod
Best freeplay by far
Is it standalone?
nope
But thats because other freeplay mods tend to be complete and utter dogshit
required og CoP
I have all stalkers
Well technically it is standalone
But you need to have CoP installed
For legal reasons
that mean it can run
I have 167 hours in Shadow of chernobyl
240 hours in clear sky
130 hours in call of pripyat
i currently dont have cop on my laptop
i remember there a way to bypass that in coc
Also I read all the stalker books that were translated to my language
But it's just
I like to flex it
Well, I'll try the call of the zone
@cursive marsh Back to topic
after that download this bat file
I'll install it today
What is this?
once its done download SWR
https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/stalker-weapon-reanimation-soc
drag and drop the binx64 and gamedata
Yes

bro
he was a good stalker.
F, he was a good stalker

May the zone be light for him
@cursive marsh so? you interested with it?
Yeah I am
I will definitely come back to this conversation
But at the same time
Call of the zone really caught my attention
try it using Improved Weapon Pack which is better than Anomaly
100%
