Oh okay

Ai is pretty jank in SoC a lot of the ai in highly populated spots seem to shoot at walls

That ur behind

Just want to see if there was a fix to some of the jank so it didn’t feel so cheese sometimes

[sour latch]

gamma when it makes mutants invisible because the fuckers don't make sounds

[lone token]

Okay will do I think when I come back to SoC I’ll just mod the game myself since autumn aurora seems to have a crashing problem

[sour latch]

anyway do you recommend any stalker mods for me to play?

[lone token]

Seems to be everytime after the military bridge

Prolly from loading everything past the bridge

Crash to desktop

I noticed even in MOTZ it has a slight hiccup

Any mod packs or repacks for Clear sky recommended? I like to stick vanilla but I heard CS has bad gunplay due to inaccurate guns and just better graphics

[sour latch]

It's so over

[cold galleon]

Greetings and salutations.
I have a problem.
I got L.U.R.K..
But I want the benefits of artifacts also.
So I added this add-on:
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/2eg6r4/adding_artifacts_into_lurk_11/
Small problem though.
The artifacts have their stats again. And there is a 5 space slot for them on the inventory UI.
But I can't seem to be able to equip them.
Can anyone help please?

[lone token]

I like my bullets going straight when I start the game

[sour latch]

watched a video on it, felt like I was watching a garrys mod video

mmm

@upbeat coral mods, give me a list

[upbeat coral]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o996FD2lx1rlHUwY9fmaFo-g_fE9uXPmrx_PoaXsI3Y/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0

play Exception

think you will like it

[sour latch]

looks solid from the screenshots, I'll watch a few videos

also jesus christ how many mods did you play

[upbeat coral]

its big openworld
lot of items, cool maps, loads of guns etc

basically Anomaly with better balance, engine and actual content

and cool as hell artifacts and muties

[upbeat coral]

not enough

[sour latch]

feels like I'm looking at the FBI most wanted list

[lone token]

Okay ty

I think im almost done with SoC

Just finished the lab part which was actually pretty scary

[cold galleon]

There are 5 squares (like the squares for the pistol slot) next to the health and endurance bar and under the armour, but when I drag the artifacts to the slots, it does nothing.

[sour latch]

just as I was praising this mod the bandit ai broke XD

[lone token]

Anyone have any really good reshade settings or enb for some of the older stalker games

I had to pull a reshade from a random mod pack bc I suck ag fine tuning my own

[upbeat coral]

SoC and CS dont really need it

[idle matrix]

Hard to find ones that don't look bad tbh

[cold galleon]

Does anyone know where the "max_belt" in LURK mod for shadow of Chernobyl is?

I'm modding the game myself.

[upbeat coral]

L.U.R.K.

[cold galleon]

What's wrong with LURK?

[lone token]

SoC lighting is pretty garbage tbh

And shadows

[cold galleon]

Do you know where max_belt in SoC data folder is?

[lone token]

Just lacks depth in its lighting and shadows I just want the sun to glare in my face

[upbeat coral]

what does that reffer to?

the max_belt I mean

[idle matrix]

Issue with reshades is they tend to always be too high contrast, and full of bloom and blur for some reason

[lone token]

I found like 5 in total and the most popular one was literal just blur all of the screen

But found one in a mod pack that wasn’t bad aside from really strong flair on white colors

So tuned it but I wish the shadows was better which I can prolly fine tune if I find the right setting

[upbeat coral]

maybe try using the OGSR engine

[lone token]

I’m using MOTZ

[cold galleon]

For artifacts.

[lone token]

I went from autumn aurora to MOTZ tho the lighting diff is insane I could care less about the overall textures

[upbeat coral]

I think actor.ltx

but you will need to adapt the GUI too

[lone token]

But AA2 is broken and no one else has this issue unfortunately on online forums

[cold galleon]

It's not there.

[upbeat coral]

system.ltx then

[upbeat coral]

Its pretty high up in the file

[restive sinew]

Return to the zone by Zhekan in co-op

I doesn't knows.

Pls forgive me kot-o-sphere

[sour latch]

@blazing lichen anomaly players out here making stalker 2 years before release

[lone token]

Is that anomaly custom?

[sour latch]

yes

Anomaly may be complete and utter slop but you can do truly beautiful things with it

[upbeat coral]

No
Not really

The looks cone completely from IX-Ray

[upbeat imp]

Anomaly is so ass

[upbeat coral]

Monolith doesnt allow for such visuals

[sour latch]

meh, I'm having fun so :>

[upbeat coral]

So the main feature of Anomaly Custom
Isnt even a product of Anomaly

[lone token]

Dang I planned on trying it after wards is it bad?

I’m doing the trilogy rn

[upbeat coral]

You know who isnt?
People in Anomaly Custom server

[lone token]

And maybe I’ll do stalker 2 or wait for a sale

But I saw the graphics on custom and wanted to try

[sour latch]

give it a try if you want, you can get really creative with modding it

[upbeat coral]

Its complete and utter gabrage

[lone token]

[sour latch]

Try it if you want

I'm going to bed

[lone token]

I thought these were all just reskins of the trilogy in one pack

And some added content

[upbeat coral]

Its literally just bunch of recycled addons for old dead mod, glued together and proclaimed to be the best thing ever

[lone token]

What should I try I tried gamma but ehh

[upbeat coral]

No

God please no

[sour latch]

do you enjoy 150gb?

[lone token]

I like the graphics and atmosphere but the healing was not my taste

[sour latch]

for the same asking price you could get stalker 2

[lone token]

I have a 550 Skyrim mod list

550 gig*

[upbeat coral]

In my bio theres a link for mod spreadsheet

Check it out and feel free to ask about any of them

[blazing lichen]

call of the zone is peak freeplay imo

[rich knot]

G O O D M O D S I N B I O

[blazing lichen]

i cant recommend anomaly custom because its made by Ztards

i also think their discord is still hidden

[lone token]

I see you don’t have cs ones

[upbeat coral]

I would 🇺🇦 react you but if the AC Server Moderators find out Im done for

[blazing lichen]

cant be seen supporting the "evil regime"

but fr all you need is cotz and the mods @upbeat coral recommends

goldshpere i hear is awesome

[rich knot]

There reborn. Which is considered a schizo mod.

[blazing lichen]

tbh the only mods CS needs is maybe SRP

[rich knot]

SWR is nice imo

[blazing lichen]

i should check that one out

[sour latch]

with my new gpu I might finally be able to play the slop

[upbeat coral]

Theres like 2 CS mods in total

[blazing lichen]

anomaly ??

[upbeat coral]

Both absolute brainfuсk to play

[blazing lichen]

cuz cotz is PEAK

[upbeat coral]

Truth

[rich knot]

Susel is making dead sky which will be the only CS mod that isn't Schizo

[upbeat coral]

God I hope some good engine (prefferably IX-RAY) gets adapted for CotZ

[blazing lichen]

ONG id spend so much time

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but its a big gunpack at this point

[sour latch]

I'm tired

[upbeat coral]

Go to sleep then

[sour latch]

anyway I might install true stalker just to hate myself more

[lone token]

Dang

I wanan keep them as vanilla as possible

I guess I’ll learn how to mod cs I don’t wanna skip them

[sour latch]

oh nevermind, I gotta use fucking google drive

[upbeat coral]

TS isnt bad
The story is just pretty ass towards the end
Its still a solid 7/10 mod

[rich knot]

CS is the best game in the trilogy imo

[lone token]

I hope so

I like SoC so far

[upbeat coral]

Oh
My spreadsheet contains story mods
If you want gameplay mods try ST series of gunpacks
Or maybe OWR

[blazing lichen]

the only flaw i really hear with true stalker is i hear it has no A life

[lone token]

Oh

[rich knot]

It really depends on your taste, if you prefer clear sky or SoC.

[lone token]

I thought they were overhaul mods also

[lone token]

What’s the gripe with Cs aside from the gunplay

[upbeat coral]

No
Dont play those
I preffer to play the original games vanilla
And only mod them for story

[rich knot]

Grenades

[upbeat coral]

Dumb people hate it because they are too dumb to upgrade guns (something the game encourages you to do)

[rich knot]

It forces you to be more dynamic

[blazing lichen]

^^

[lone token]

Oh as in the npcs throw nades?

[rich knot]

So you can't really hold a position in a corner

[blazing lichen]

i found CS progression system enjoyable

[rich knot]

Yes

[lone token]

Don’t they give u an indicator

[blazing lichen]

they do

[lone token]

Or do they eventually nade spam

[blazing lichen]

its just peoples skill issues imo

[rich knot]

They do have an indicator

[rich knot]

There is only one part where it can be considered cancerous spam and it's like one part of the end game. The rest of it has some grenades but not as much as that part.

[upbeat coral]

You get solid 2 seconds to get away before it explodes
Which is a lot of time with CS run speed and jump lenght

[lone token]

Hm okay

I like to move around anyways and in SoC so far the npcs move pretty dynamically and push u

So it can’t be that bad

[upbeat coral]

Oh man
Clear Sky with impact grenades from Gunslinger would be evil

[austere hawk]

I want to get into my first freeplay mod, I was looking forward for something more close to vanilla, but with faction warfare, companions and repeatable quests.

Should I go for Anomaly Old World addon or Call of the Zone?

[upbeat coral]

CotZ

Any day

[austere hawk]

Cool alright

[upbeat coral]

It doesnt have warfare iirc but the quests are incomparable to OWA

The CoC engine wouldnt handle Warfare anyways

God someone port IX-Ray already

[lone token]

How many engines are in this series

[austere hawk]

Thanks

[rich knot]

Vanilla is 1, 1.5, and 1.6

[upbeat coral]

3 in vanilla
Xray 1, 1.5 and 1.6

[lone token]

Is there even more for modded stalker?

Or is OGSR one of those u included

[upbeat coral]

There are many modded engines tho
Like Oxygen, IX-Ray, OGSR, Monolith, Open Xray, Advanced Xray, STCoP engine

[lone token]

I see wow I’ve never seen such a dedicated base

[upbeat coral]

And Cryray too

[rich knot]

There is the OGSR mod and the Ogsr engine

[upbeat coral]

The series was dead for 15 years and Xray 1.6 just wasnt cutting it anymore

[lone token]

Dang is that the gap between CoP and S2??

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[lone token]

I mean there’s nothing like stalker but dang

[upbeat coral]

Well
Modding was pretty big even before release of SoC

The whole game leaked and we had massive total conversions that changed and improved pretty much every aspect

AMK being one of the oldest and best mods

[lone token]

Your entire game leaking is kinda insane

😭

[rich knot]

The AMK autumn edition is great. It adds grenades that are thrown less than CS but I feel like those grenades are deadlier than in CS

[upbeat coral]

:3

The new game only has around 16.5GB of leaked material

only

[lone token]

Does autumn aurora have a server of some sort

[upbeat coral]

Dont think so

[lone token]

I’d like to come back and play that mod eventually if I can get it to work

Grrr

[rich knot]

I had some problems with it to run too

My retarded ass put in a folder mania. It was inside a couple folders.

So the exe wouldn't run

[lone token]

Mine crashes after the military bridge

Everytime

[rich knot]

For me it was agroprom if I remember correctly

[upbeat coral]

Send log

[rich knot]

It has been a while so

[lone token]

It had a crash log??

I was looking but couldn’t find

[rich knot]

X-ray has crash logs

[lone token]

It just gave me the pop up for like submit bug but it didn’t do anything

I don’t think at least

I’ll try it again then

When I get off work

[limpid tulip]

No
Its not recycled
It would be better if its recycled
Its just fetch walking simulator
Rush every lab then kill ssu and thats it

Its no cohesive
No entertaining
Even some fetch side quest ask you for stuff of labs
Its just insipid and dissapointing
Its not even narratively interesting the only thing i could forgive unfun quest

[upbeat coral]

Literally CoC main quest but worse

[restive sinew]

Return to the zone by Zhekan in co-op

[upbeat coral]

CotZ when?

[restive sinew]

Engine open-sourced?

[blazing lichen]

Should be It's a fork of coc

[limpid tulip]

The only thing i enjoyed is merc equipments since i just go straight to quest and thats mostly gunfire and merc excels on that

[limpid tulip]

The dude is no longer with us

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral I hope we can play cotz coop one day

[upbeat coral]

It uses standard CoC engine which can be found on Github afaik

[restive sinew]

We can port our network code to any xray fork

[upbeat coral]

True

[restive sinew]

Vanilla?

[blazing lichen]

What faction would we be

[limpid tulip]

No one will object since doctor is no longer with us

[upbeat coral]

No
CoC uses some old OXR fork, but the engine has been released on github

[upbeat coral]

Silly bandoots
But we wouldnt be friendos with stinky mercs

[restive sinew]

K, not a problem to make it work with our code

[limpid tulip]

I wonder if i could be tejas walking inventory

[blazing lichen]

Imagine marching on a faction base with 3 commanders, each having 20 soldiers

[blazing lichen]

I play mods

what am I gonna play

[limpid tulip]

Golsphere 3

Jenkan is alive?

[upbeat coral]

yes

I hope

[limpid tulip]

Tell him to fix his sheet

Goldsphere save corrupt in garbage

[upbeat coral]

Rule 7 of Jekans Vkontakte page

[limpid tulip]

Why he stopped working on it?

[upbeat coral]

because the story was finished

and mod of this size is pain to fix

he used his experience to make new stuff rather than fixing Goldsphere for rest of eternity

[limpid tulip]

@upbeat coral i have one idea for a military quest

[limpid tulip]

Would you like to hear it?

[upbeat coral]

yeah
why not

@rich knot @blazing lichen help
I got nothing to play

[rich knot]

@limpid tulip have to done the quest with the boars and the artifacts and the suits you have to find in the goldsphere village?

[upbeat coral]

cant decide between Game of Souls, Labyrinth or downloading something Psy translated

[rich knot]

when is the predownload ?

No preload for PC. Only for x box.

[rich knot]

Yes

[light python]

[rich knot]

Game of sovls

[upbeat coral]

okie dokie

[rich knot]

Heard labyrinth was cool too

[upbeat coral]

every mod is cool

except.. you know

[limpid tulip]

Once you are part of the military an get some rank the send you disguised as duty with some other similar rank couriers to retrive the documentsstrlok stole from agroprom delivered to barkeep

When you exit a infiltrated freedomer as a loner intercept you for the document which sure have some heavy incriminating stuff you can side with him to reveal the info or kill him because you want to complete the mission

If you side with him to stop military to encover the documents you discover the other couriers with dummy docs were killed by freedomer disguised as loners you being the only on who wanted to reveal the truth

[upbeat coral]

[limpid tulip]

Thats a raw idea

I dont know what info has the agroprom documents

[blazing lichen]

peak

[upbeat coral]

ehh
Dont think Barkeep would have kept the documents for so long
He probably sole them to Sakharov for quick buck once Scorcher fell since they were no longer of any use to him

[limpid tulip]

I just thought military would like to have back into his possesion the documwnts

I think they have info about labs

[limpid tulip]

Maybe they give him to duty leader

Barkeep never specifies what it does with them

Or could copy them to sell the info

[upbeat coral]

Its in Dutys best interet for Scientists to have the documents

[limpid tulip]

Do you think its better idea to retrieve the docs from ecologist?

[upbeat coral]

no no
they work for army

if they have the document, the army leaders have them too

[limpid tulip]

Stole the documents to sell them back?

All under duty territory

And agroprom institute raided

[upbeat coral]

in SoC they were in a briefcase, meaning they were ready to be shipped
either to scientists or the government

when strelok stole them and gave them to barkeep, they were lost

I dont think Sakharov saw them before

well
He knew about labs anyways

[limpid tulip]

So bar couldnt sell the info

To shakarov

[upbeat coral]

Barkeep had lots of various documents that would make for better item of interest for the army

[limpid tulip]

For my idea to work they have to tie labs experiments to goverment/army

[upbeat coral]

but since strelok saw them all, and barkeep probably had nobody else to sell them to other than scientists, I think the army already has any info barkeep ever could have had

[limpid tulip]

What if its retrieve barkeeps original docs to avoid them to be sold to unwanted stalkers

Since maybe freedomers disguised as a loner could be interested in the info
Barkeep didnt have issues with strelok knowing them

Being a loner sid rescued

[upbeat coral]

what year does the mission take place?

[limpid tulip]

2012?

[upbeat coral]

hmm

probably could work

[limpid tulip]

What changes do you suggest?

No need to being specific since its a raw idea

Just the general route

[upbeat coral]

well if anything I wouldnt make it about any canon documents

I would make it so someone deserted from checkpoint and took some documents (that were supposed to be sent to leadership soon) with him to pay for his needs
And your mission is to track him down before hes able to hand them over to trader

the quest could involve a moral dilema
do you pay the guy, take the documents and leave?
do you shoot him for desertion?
do you lie about killing him?
do you capture him and bring him back?

[limpid tulip]

Seems good

Thank you for your tips
When i actually know how to quest we can delve into good questing

[cold galleon]

O stalkers if fruit punch.
I seek that wisdom.
Suggest me weapon mods for call of pripyat.

I shall choose the best mod in my opinion.

[upbeat coral]

OWR

for vanilla esque guns

STCoP for new guns

[cold galleon]

What guns does it add?

[upbeat coral]

too many for me to list

wait
is it your first playthrough?

I was trying to kill a psuedogiant in the garbage in AMK AA but I got attacked by a chimera

I couldn't find the chimera anymore

Hey yall do you guys have any good mods to add onto anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

Brotherhood and New Levels

rest is meh

[static cradle]

Tons. Dr.X made mods to re-add the faction wars, dynamic faction quests, dynamic faction relations, dynamic anomalies, re-turn on the A-life simulation for both stalkers and mutants, etc. His mods combined with warfare are steller. Boomsticks and sharpsticks adds tons of weapons and scopes, including pip 3D scopes and scopes with multiple optics (for example, a 4x sniper scope with a 1x red dot either on top of the sniper scope, or mounted 45 degrees on the rifle. Your guy will hold the gun at an angle so it appears vertically straight when you use it).

If doing your own mod add-ons seems intimidating, there are tons of modpacks pre-set for anomaly to cater to a certain experience (EFP caters to faction wars and heavy combat, Gamma caters to hardcore survival, etc. Note that any version of anomaly or modpack can be further customized or added to. I added more stuff to EFP, and thats what I use)

its whatever you want to make of it. so long as you dont care about putting in the time to set it up.

For example, these are the mods that I used in vanilla anomaly 1.5.2, before I went to Anomaly EFP 1.5.3:

@hard cedar the bot seems to think that my modlist is a repeat message for some reason, check your DM's I'll send it there.

[cold galleon]

Man.
I wish anomaly had faction respawn points like Vanilla.
Like bro, I just want to get into a firefight.
Coupled with the classic textures mod, even my old ass PC can run it on DX8.

[runic dome]

was messing around in the config folder of soc zrp and noticed that i cant find the dispersion rate for silencers, where can i find it? (nvm, found it)

[cold galleon]

Second playthrough.
After many years.
I'm unironically contemplating getting Misery so I can use the armed zone.

I wish anomaly had the "faction respawn points every time you pass a certain area from vanilla".
My favourite past time and challenge in vanilla has been having to deal with Bandit and Mercenary roadblocks all the time.

It's fun.

Is there an add-on for anomaly to do that?

[neon socket]

STCoP tends to corrupt saves after some time Arsenal Overhaul is a more reliable alternative

[mortal burrow]

Hi guys. I just joined the discord cos i have a modding question. If this is not the channel to post this pls tell me where. Ill be brief. I have the trilogy in GOG. Played SoC for some time, patched it with some of the community fixes etc. Eventually stopped. I stumble upon Anomaly mod some days ago, installed it, played it, modded it. Loving it so far, so i went into checking the differences cos i didnt remember a lot of SoC vanilla. Reinstalled it to check the feelings. Now i wanna mod it to try to get the best experience possible from the original and then go back to Anomaly. First question would be, is there for Soc vanilla a mod organizer as in Anomaly, does their mod organizer 2 work for SoC vanilla? Thx very much, nice to meet you stalkers.

[restive sinew]

Why if already have SoC update?

[mortal burrow]

You mean Complete update 2009?

or is there another?

[restive sinew]

No

Mod

Shadow of Chernobyl Update

[mortal burrow]

Sorry, Stalker complete

[restive sinew]

Try it out

[mortal burrow]

It doesnt come automatically with GOG version?

[restive sinew]

Tf man

IT'S MOD

Like anomaly

Made by modders

Not officials

[mortal burrow]

Ok, in Moddb?

[restive sinew]

Search it by yourself

Idk

[wintry forge]

Try Shadows Add-on

[mortal burrow]

There seems to be a lot of mods, fixes and updates but i find no conclusive "best option" available so to speak. I have looked into the pin comments here a bit but i dont really have a lot of time cos of family life. I was trying to find an established protocol that the community agrees upon in order to set SoC more or less the best way possible. Thx for the reply

So far update something something made the game crash

And i have to reinstall it

Im looking at C-Con spreadsheet but i dont even know whats that or where to begin with.

[wintry forge]

Understandable lmao

[wintry forge]

You're trying to play SoC with QoL improvements mod yeah?

I think Autumn Aurora does that. It's a mod, not standalone like Shadows Add-on.

[mortal burrow]

Yeh, i mean for now im just trying to make fps a bit better

to be honest

I know about the optimization of SoC, last time i played was 4 years ago,m just wondering if something could be made for that

[mortal burrow]

Is there some type pf mod manager for SoC or just replacing folders in the game folder?

[wintry forge]

Don't think there's any.

I only play either modpack or standalone. For some reason modpack for SoC won't work in my laptop.

Been trying to figure out what's wrong.

[ruby citrus]

you don't need anything for the trilogy except SRP for Clear Sky, both SoC and CoP work and play perfectly fine

there aren't a lot of vanilla+ mods, stalker modding scene is primarily total conversions with new stories and gameplay

[mortal burrow]

Then i must have some problems cos i see the image very choppy

[ruby citrus]

choppy?

[mortal burrow]

Like Anomaly or Gamma you mean right?

yes, i dont see the transition of the camera smooth

[ruby citrus]

i'm not sure what you mean, is image in SoC "choppy" or??

[mortal burrow]

Framerate 30 or below i mean

some slight freezes from time tot ime

[ruby citrus]

huh??? what setup are you using

[mortal burrow]

Im using the GOG version with the max quality. AMD ryzen 3500 radeon vega iirc Nvidia GTX something 16 g ram

[wintry forge]

That's weird.

[mortal burrow]

I need a wipe, but there are other more modern games i run no problems 60 fps. Anomaly itself runs pretty fine, between 50-60 fps most of the time. TO my knowledge Amd and Nvidia and windows are updated, no issues with the pc on a daily basis except for an eventual clean up and reinstall

[young fable]

hmm

[mortal burrow]

Ok, ok, my bad. I was running the game from the exe and not the launcher, now i touched the advanced settings and im gonna check how it goes. Sorry, i was so eager i added the game to steam but didnt check up properly.

[wintry forge]

Oh relax.

[upbeat coral]

now CotZ

[upbeat coral]

Anomaly doesnt have DX8
no stalker game or mod has

its typo from CoC OXR port

which Searge not only didnt fix but also moved to closed source launcher

[wintry forge]

Pretty sure it does.

[upbeat coral]

no

weve been over this like 20 times already

[wintry forge]

Oh ok

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[cold galleon]

Huh.
Interesting.
But seriously.
Are there any add-ons to reactivate the respawns to be like vanilla?
I unironically love having to go through a firefight with bandits every time I have to go through garbage. Or Mercs every time I go through wild territory.

[ruby citrus]

just play a good mod instead or smth 💅💅

[cold galleon]

I literally play Anomaly because of BaS and Simple Weapons.

Well, played.

Haven't had it on install for months.

[upbeat coral]

Eww

Due to low population and general randomness of Anomaly
There isnt a way to do this other than making it a scripted event

Or
Well, there is but its stupidly convoluted and not worth anyones time

[cold galleon]

Then what should I do?
I want the expensiveness of anomaly+endless sea of weapons (especially things like RPD, RPK, PKP, MG3, SVT-40, G3, etc), but I also want the target rich environment of vanilla.
What shall I do?

[upbeat coral]

Play good mods

Anomaly is far from only mod with big world, lots of items and such

Pretty much every mod has that, only difference is that other mods have mote important stuff to talk about

[ruby citrus]

if you want an infinite amount of weapons and an infinite amount of targets just play a Solyanka

[upbeat coral]

True

[cold galleon]

Ok.
Thamks.
I shall report my fundings.

[upbeat coral]

Its not even that different from Anomaly
Vasyanka to Solyanka isnt a big jump

[ruby citrus]

Narodnaya Solyanka 2016 OGSR, or Cumulative Pack 2.2 if you wanna go insane :333

[upbeat coral]

DSH if you want a mod that "doesnt fake survival"

Because your braincells and sanity sure will fight for their survival

[cold galleon]

Ok.
But I can't speak Russian.

[ruby citrus]

why would you ever want to play OP 2.09 with NLC mechanics

[ruby citrus]

both OP 2.2 and NS2016 are translated

[upbeat coral]

To have NLC like experience thats more than just a walking simulator

[ruby citrus]

yes PLEASE i wanna experience MODDED NS2012 with THE WORST MECHANICS KNOWN TO MAN

• statements dreamt by the utterly deranged

[upbeat coral]

Kino

[cold galleon]

Does NS 2016 have DP-28 and RPD?

How about RPK with drum mag?

Or MG3?

[upbeat coral]

Winter of Death has M249 with explosive ammo

[ruby citrus]

i have no idea but there are, like
medieval swords and energy katanas

[cold galleon]

M249.
Ew.

The only American LMG I accept is M60.

[rich knot]

The autumn edition of AMK replaces Fast shooting AKM with a mosin

[cold galleon]

I haven't seen something so based since the great emission of 2009.

[rich knot]

Its the only bad thing in AMK autumn edition so far

The regular version of AMK probably doesn't have that

[idle matrix]

A mosin, but at what cost

[upbeat coral]

Great Emission was in 2008

Or was it?

[rich knot]

2006 was when the zone was created

[cold galleon]

You take that back, or I'll shove my kalash shoes down your nostrils.
https://visitiran.ir/visitPic/d03_square/public/2019-07/کلاش.jpg

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but 2008 outbreak still wasnt retconned

[cold galleon]

You have an skill issue if you find an AKM more useful than a Mosin Nagant.

[rich knot]

I will not take it back

[rich knot]

I just find it cooler

[cold galleon]

That's even worse of an skill issue.

[rich knot]

It's a unique weapon

[cold galleon]

The 7.62x54mmR is the superior cartridge.

[blazing lichen]

headshots dont really care about calibre tbh

[rich knot]

Yeah but it's rarer than 5.45.

It's the early game almost entering mid game period

[cold galleon]

Just buy it.
Or, if you have to, twinker with some game files so you can buy 100 rounds of 7.62x54mmR from the trader.

[cold mason]

I just realized 20th is wednesday, was thinking thursday this entire time.. remove a day with this simple trick!

[cold galleon]

And 5.45 isn't rare.
You simply suffer from "can't strategically remove war materials from a couple special forces troops" levels of skill issue.

[blazing lichen]

what kinda post is that lol

[cold galleon]

I like the ragdoll.

[rich knot]

I have like 500 rounds of 545. I just hoarded them all.

[cold galleon]

Seriously.
Just stay in the military barracks after helping mold and "acquire" ammo.

[upbeat coral]

AKM is 7.62x39

But I agree AKM is better than Mosin

[rich knot]

AKM-74/2

[cold galleon]

I disagree.

[blazing lichen]

i feel both rifles are great but at different roles

id never take a mosin into cqc for example

[upbeat coral]

Ohh
Yeah

[rich knot]

The fast shooting one specifically

[upbeat coral]

AKM is more universal and overall just better choice from both gameplay and realistic perspective

[upbeat coral]

I love that thing in Game of Souls
It bas firerate of fully fire speed upgraded Viper 5 from Clear Sky

[gritty burrow]

a few years from now could we see a Stalker 2 Anomaly 2?

[idle matrix]

More than a few, since to get there we would need many years of modding. Though if you just mean a sandbox mod, then perhaps

But Anomaly in particular is based on many iterations of sandbox mods

There were freeplay mods for SoC pretty soon after it released

[gritty burrow]

I like the sandbox idea of anomaly 1

going anywhere and doing a lot is cool as hell to me

[rich knot]

I think it will be more like CoM if anything. Misery combined with Freeplay. CoC was merging maps and we don't really have any maps to merge. So more like Freeplay+ misery imo.

[idle matrix]

Since this game is already open world it seems like that will be a thing in vanilla this time anyway

It sounds like the game world opens up soon into the game, you just may be underequipped to go to the more dangerous areas

[gritty burrow]

hopefully, there will be cheat mods as well?

I'd like to test all of the gear and have god mode and unlimited ammo

[idle matrix]

Im sure that will come at some point too. I imagine it will not be hard to implement. Spawn commands are probably hidden in debug mode or something

[lucid lily]

i prey to the holy anomolies the modding commuinity get to work upon release.

[rich knot]

Did stealth agroprom run in amk

I might do it in vanilla too

[rich knot]

I keep getting caught after leaving the base

Let's go I got the documents in agroprom without alerting the warning buzzer
But it's in AMk so not banilla

[novel grove]

any old stalkers like me remember what the best early "total conversions" of SHOC were? sort of the anomaly before anomoly, where they opened up the map, revamped the shooting/graphics, and really made the a-life go crazy

[ruby citrus]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

anyway

there weren't much proper freeplays before CoC afaik

[gritty burrow]

do you think with Stalker 2 there will be weapon mods?

[ruby citrus]

Solyankas achieve essentially the same goal, so why would you

[novel grove]

the mods i'm remembering would have been released around or before clear sky

maybe not quite a total conversion, but popular overhauls

[ruby citrus]

i hope not

[ruby citrus]

i'd rather see a proper total conversion with ideas and intention

[gritty burrow]

I do because it might be fun.

[ebon tusk]

you mean, Xiannis Freeplay Mod

[ruby citrus]

and there won't be much sense in doing it anyway, S2 is already open and "free"

[ebon tusk]

AMK had freeplay after the true ending

[ruby citrus]

it won't be :3

[novel grove]

i don't recognize that name. maybe i was using a bunch of different mods, but i remember one that added weapons, made the shooting much better, improved graphics, and added much more random events with the a-life. like blowouts spawning dozens of enemies and artifacts etc

[gritty burrow]

Well, your opinion, not mine. to each and their own.

[ebon tusk]

you were playing AMK

[gritty burrow]

like I said when it happens it'll be fun.

[ruby citrus]

try other mods i beg you <3

[gritty burrow]

I don't mean the sound rude but you need to mind your own business and don't persuade people to do things.

[novel grove]

that sounds familiar, thank you!!

[ruby citrus]

oh but i do mean to sound rude, you're basic as fuсk <333

[gritty burrow]

you're weird. I am going to ignore you unless you got something that might interest me otherwise yeah not right now.

[blazing lichen]

Lol

[novel grove]

hating anomoly has big "i liked the band before they were cool" energy. I haven't really played it, but it's kep the stalker scene alive for the past decade and that's pretty cool to me

[gritty burrow]

People can hate anomoly all they want but tbh I enjoy the freeroam and sandbox.

[ebon tusk]

damn you hate the mod I like? clearly, youre just a dumb idiot

[blazing lichen]

That's not really true lol single player games don't live or die

Stalker isn't live service it can't die

[ruby citrus]

nope, it definitely brought some popularity to the series but the scene is far more vast than just CoC and its forks

[gritty burrow]

live service Games should not exist

[blazing lichen]

Plus it's always been big in the non English communities

[ruby citrus]

so bae,,sd....

[novel grove]

of course not, and i know there are lots of other great mods out there, but as someone who has been pretty out of the stalker loop since 2011, it's clear these big standalone mods have brought many new stalker into the fold who were too young for the original release

anyway, i'm very excited for stalker 2. i have very fond memories of playing the original run with and without mods on their release

[gritty burrow]

I was 17 in 2007 when the OG series was released but I never owned a gaming PC back then until 2009 and my very first stalker game was actually in 2009. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

[novel grove]

i was 16. sHOC ran like ASS on my pc at the time. unplayable fps but i persevered lol

[gritty burrow]

someone I know from High school showed me the game and told me a lot about the game that I had no idea about the game yet.

[gritty burrow]

oh god I could imagine.

[novel grove]

when i go back home to the east coast next month i'll try to find my physical copy. i think i bought CS physical, and COP digital

[gritty burrow]

In my very first system I know I had a 9800 GT 1 GB video card in there but I forgot what the CPU was but it could have potentially been an i3 or an Intel 2 core dual.

[novel grove]

#🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay message me playing in 2007. i got a GFX card for xmas and could finally play with smooth fps

i'm going to try this lost alpha mod for some OG stalker vibes

[upbeat coral]

Dont see why vasyanka made using stolen assets would be fun

[ebon tusk]

most good mods were made with assets taken from other games, dont know why that matters

[upbeat coral]

Because in those mods it wasnt the main focus

Its usually just supporting material

In Anomaly its the main content

[lucid lily]

will modding be availvbel upon release?

[rich knot]

No

SDK will release after sometime

[gritty burrow]

Lol please.

I want a sandbox mod with cheats/debug menu.

minecraft sure seems like it.

[upbeat coral]

Okay

[gritty burrow]

I know I'm an a$$ but I have a few autistic friends. no judgement.

even though I don't like Minecraft. I don't even know why you came into the conversation suggesting Minecraft when we're talking about Stalker.

[upbeat coral]

Because you wanted sandbox with cheats

[wooden pike]

Huh

What’s happening

[gritty burrow]

I guess I'll play soccer anomaly then bud

[upbeat coral]

[gritty burrow]

no clue. apparently this dude's talking about Minecraft and suggesting it when I don't even want to play it.

[wooden pike]

Bros lonely maybe

I know I am

[gritty burrow]

you know it's okay to be lonely because some people can handle being alone. it takes strength and a lot of willpower to do so.

not many people can really do it.

[wooden pike]

Eh I’m kinda the expert I also got a introvert to join a club so I’m him

[gritty burrow]

nice there you go.

[gritty burrow]

well to be honest I'm kind of both an extrovert and an introvert.

[wooden pike]

Your him

[gritty burrow]

you only live once so you might as well enjoy the beauty of this world.

[wooden pike]

🥁 badum tssss

[gritty burrow]

but like I was saying. I cannot wait for a stalker 2 sandbox and cheat/debugmenu mod.

[wooden pike]

I just want stalker 2

[gritty burrow]

Hopefully & maybe Stalker 2 will have a console for cheats and commands since that will be really cool tbh to cheat in a game like the good old times. 😉

[vapid bay]

i'm looking to replay SHOC story with an "enhanced vanilla" experience. currently downloading Autumn Aurora 2.1

is there a better choice?

[desert kindle]

Shoukd I do my first play through of soc vanilla or I heard there's a good mod to use

That doenst change the story

[icy garden]

Radiophobia 3

[icy garden]

Try Complete 1.5 or just go vanilla experience

[idle matrix]

try vanilla first imo

[idle matrix]

been playing curved road lately, its more vanilla than that, might be worth trying depending on what you want. mostly audio/visual updates and some new quests/NPCs/areas, but nothing as crazy as OGSR

If you want more additions and changes then OGSR maybe

[wintry forge]

I heard Autumn Aurora also pretty vanilla. It just contain QoL Improvements.

[idle matrix]

Storyline is the same, it does change the gameplay a fair bit to be more lethal with more damage and more accurate weapons. So it depends on your personal preferences

[twilit spade]

Does anyone know if the game is cross play? I purchased the game on Xbox but just got a PC.

[edgy birch]

i really hope someone adds mutant parts for hunting as a mod as soon as possible after release! lol

[neon socket]

i was going to dowload the Update mod but all links are dead

i guess i would have to settle with radiophobia 3

[novel grove]

So far I like it but the gunplay is def more hardcore vs vanilla . The graphics are considerably improved but it's a little "brown" for my taste

[idle matrix]

Yeah

I also enjoy it, but it is a bit different

[ashen hornet]

i think stalker modding will slow down

for the first month within release

[idle matrix]

Though if it was not already in the Readme, be careful not to let your active quests get up to more than 6-7. The mod does have some weird save corruption issues if you have too many active quests

[blissful sleet]

Man. CS ABR was fantastic until the end of the game. Im so glad to be done with CS

I can finally rest until Wed

[patent bear]

Approaching the end of CoP, deffo my fav of the OG trilogy gameplay wise by miles. Shame it's a bit smol in terms of content

And the difficulty is a bit too easy imo

If I wanted to play a mod that's pretty much like CoP but in all the trilogy zones combined + more difficulty, is Call of Chernobyl the best mod port of call? Or is there a better option? I hear about Old World add-on for Anomaly too

[blissful sleet]

CoC used to be the mod but since then I think its fallen out of the limelight

OWA is Anomaly but more closer to vanilla in gameplay

If you want the less hardcore experience I say go for Anomaly + OWA

[novel grove]

I only played clear sky once on release and I barely remember it. Even at that time, modded shoc felt so much better than vanilla CS

And vanilla shoc is just better to begin with

[blissful sleet]

ABR really saved CS for me

It was such a fun game with it. And then I got to the end and wanted to quit it was so tedious

[hard zinc]

gama

[neon socket]

CoC with the right addons its pretty mucn CoP on steroids

[novel grove]

I'm having a problem in autumn arora on ShOC where mission shootouts just take way too quick. They are either over or I fail an obj because someone died before I even get into the fight

[neon socket]

i would say that you should try both CoC and Anomaly and see whats sticks with you

[blazing lichen]

id say cotz over coc imo

[fast dome]

For those with experience with the X-Ray blender import plugin, is there any way to increase the texture quality on the imported level?

[upbeat coral]

Call of the Zone

CoC is pretty barebones

And most of other similar mods suck asss

[neon socket]

CoC is good only if you plan to build addons on it

I have my flavored CoC install since years now

It works tho i had to do some messing with ddls and downgrading to dx9 normal

[subtle schooner]

yea i cant see that thing turning into one of the nuclear fuel cells in reactor 4

Hello, can someone please make a mod for Dualsense icons

[ebon tusk]

[frigid bolt]

Help guy, I have trouble with quicksaves and manual saves with CS.

Everytime I load save, game crashes. The problem is... I don't no the problem which cause to this. I load the file save again, trying to Ctrl + V but no text appear. Really confuses. Furthermore, I replay, but file saves alway corrupt at that stage (Find the Compass Artifact).
Then I tried to play without save or quicksave but the game crash again when I change the level.

I have no Idea what going on with my CS rn, please help.

[neon socket]

Considering it's the en_modifications channel, you got a mod installed to your CS?

[frigid bolt]

Only SRP and it works fine, was.

[neon socket]

Have you tried loading up a manual save from time before these save corruption problems began?

[frigid bolt]

Yes, it's a autosave when you move to new level, but when try quicksave and load, the game keep crashes.

[neon socket]

Alright. Well if you got a manual save from before that autosave, load that and try it again. Sounds like the issue is persisting in the autosave too, so loading that won't help.

Hopefully you have been manually saving the game regularly

Trusting solely on autosaves and quick saves isn't a good idea because of this

[frigid bolt]

I see... thank for your help!

[neon socket]

No problem. I wish I could have been more help, but to me it seems like your save files are corrupted, so the only thing I can come up with is just loading a save file that is from a time before these issues began.

Alternatively, start a new game and quick save/load in that to see if the game crashes. If it doesn't then it is 100% the fault of your save files

[ornate pulsar]

yo

I can ask the bildo people at C-Con
They might know

[radiant oriole]

Blindsides?

My god

The world is healing.

[dire pecan]

this location was already made by one modmaker, but it never made it to release

[upbeat coral]

nevermind
forgot I already asked them before

[ornate pulsar]

Yes

[ornate pulsar]

Are the SDK sources for it available?

[dire pecan]

there was a very strange man there - he wrote in an incomprehensible language and periodically deleted chats with himself, so no one saved

[upbeat coral]

this is the only other interesting mention I found

[dire pecan]

The location must be involved in the old CoP storyline

[upbeat coral]

hope the desdocs are available
to the RU wiki I go

[dire pecan]

All we know about the location is that the walls were guarded by the military, and the city itself was working and periodically a helicopter with supplies flew there from the center of the Zone. That's all

[dire pecan]

The problem is that this concept uses models from Pripyat

[upbeat coral]

link dead

[ornate pulsar]

Ok

[quaint ingot]

[upbeat coral]

Oh my god youre a lifesaver

Now I just have to hope the docs had actually useful info

[mortal burrow]

Hi. Is JSGME a good mod manager in you opinion?

[upbeat coral]

It works with every game ever

So yeah

[red phoenix]

simple mods I hope will come eventually

1. campfire only save
2. iron man
3. drop all items on death (corpse retrieval)
4. Single player Tarkov-like insertion mode
5. free look

[red phoenix]

someone had to say it
Or is it that video games cultivate, or pronounce those behavioral tendencies

[upbeat coral]

what I meant is that theres no "big boy game"
most games will inevitably be enjoyed mostly by kids

[red phoenix]

all games are for my inner small boy child

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[mortal burrow]

eventually cos these are mods from Anomaly you mean?

[red phoenix]

But I like them 👍
Free look especially. As I've gotten used to free look in many games, it'd be sorely missing in a game where you need to constantly look around and scan for threats

[mortal burrow]

Probably theres a certain tendency already to being in one own world exploring whatever than to have to deal with the outside world. Even if not autistics videogames give a escape to a lot fo people with no particular social skills or plainly uninterested in whats going on outside.

[ebon tusk]

wtf are you talking abt

[patent apex]

politician from around the birth of the early gaming industry

[mortal burrow]

I get it, im actually playing anomaly with 3rd person view mod. It has 2 modes, one behind the back and another one global like in fallout 3. Purist Stalkers may scoff but actually stealth becomes way better.

[upbeat coral]

thats literally vanilla feature

[mortal burrow]

3rd person?

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[mortal burrow]

You are actually right, cos i remember when i played few years ago i was able to do it but in my mind i wasnt sure if its cos i modded it or something.

So the mod i have is not to enable it but to improve it then. Cos 3rd person view original is very bad. It shouldnt be placed to the side of the character but exactly on top

[upbeat coral]

I think the trilogy has it eneabled through dev console, but many mods have it as keybind

[upbeat coral]

duh
its not something youre supposed to use
its dev feature

[mortal burrow]

yes, you are right, now that you say i remember searching especifically for that and coming up with an article that explained it, yes

[mortal burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[upbeat coral]

epic embed fail

[red phoenix]

that's what was great about the console Ghost Recons, 3rd person feels off, but it actually enables a kind of gameplay that leverages stealth in a wierd way

[mortal burrow]

Yeah. In Stalker concretely is good for things like spotting the muzzle flash from a distance or strategize in global view or watch mutant animals. I personally like 3rd over shoulder it to appear around the corner with a silencer and dispatch a couple of guys quickly. Changing the script one can place the cam right over the head and lookout left or right, shoot and cover while not missing the moves of enemies.

[mortal burrow]

yeah, im not familiarize with Discord to be honest

[red phoenix]

I think lean and free look though, those are kinda not negotiable

if you aren't "pie-ing the corner" irl, you're flagging yourself and you just get killed

and if you're on high alert scanning for threats, you're moving your head around a lot, but not your weapon

so in a world like stalker where you're a lone-gunman, and threats are all over, you need both of those

[ebon tusk]

there is leaning in the OGs and in Stalker 2

[mortal burrow]

I have a stealth mod thats tweaked depending on luminiscence and time, so theres a microsecond before the enemies realize you are there. But dont get me wrong, i pass from 1st to 3rd depending on the situ, 1st is best no doubt to accuracy, but theres a certain use for crowd control in 3rd view. I dont know, you should see how i play and youd understand.

[patent bear]

What is that

[ornate pulsar]

A re-animation for vanilla anomaly weapons

[upbeat coral]

Doesnt it also add new stuff

[weak patrol]

Oh, OK. Ty

[pastel swallow]

Hello! I'm trying to install Anomaly with Atmospherics (NO EFP) by following this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do45zIx6SYs
But I have an error saying shader compilation failed (he's asking to delete the shader folder) any idea how to solve this please?

[little plover]

There should be a tick box on the anomaly launcher that deletes shader cache

[novel grove]

constant corrupted saves playing autumn aroura 2.1 has made the game unplayable

i get to dark valley- automatic mission kicks off where you help one duty guy save another. If i load a quicksave anytime after that mission starts or complets i CTD

i tried avoiding the event altogether so the quest never starts. i can load games successfully but only before their automated shootout plays out. once that's done, i CTD every time

[idle matrix]

Did you have a bunch of active quests? For whatever reason that can cause save corruption in that mod

[novel grove]

one sidequest plus the main story

[idle matrix]

Hmm. Not sure then.

[novel grove]

i was so invested in playing this game again, it's a real bummer

[novel grove]

i don't feel like replaying everything on another mod-pack unfortunately. is there a COP overhaul you reccomend while i wait for STALKER 2?

[idle matrix]

Haven't really modded COP as much. Could try SGM maybe?

[cold galleon]

@upbeat coral
I was thinking about that "gunfights like vanilla STALKER thing into Anomaly" we talked about.
Isn't the way vanilla does this exactly through scripted events?

[neon socket]

@sour latch its just a bunch of addons in an order that i like

all doing manual widouth MO2

[ebon tusk]

well MO2 doesnt work with Stalker games

[neon socket]

its used on anomaly tho

but i preffer JGSME

[ebon tusk]

it has an unofficial Anomaly compability but that ain't a Stalker game now is it

besides

[sour latch]

Hypothetically what if I ate you

[neon socket]

i have to rebuild my coc from time from time since sometimes i screw up with a new addon

a radio song was making the game crash in the swamps

xd

[ebon tusk]

there is no reason to be using Mod Loaders and Organisers to mod the Series since modern mods always modify the exes making them incompatible with everything else
and mods for Stalker are total experiences most of the times not modules you stack up

[sour latch]

When I get home tomorrow I'll see if I can't get coc iwp cotz working

[ebon tusk]

its trivial to get CoC IWP COTZ working

[sour latch]

I can't read Russian so I might need help

[neon socket]

mod organizers are fine for when you are building them to save time, but manual will give always the best results

IWP is pretty but im not a big fan of the economy balance

[ebon tusk]

they have a repack that should be plug and play

[sour latch]

Me
System requirements are simply too high to access

[sour latch]

Ping me with the link I'll look tomorrow

[neon socket]

speaking of rusian repacks i really need to try antology

since new maps

[ebon tusk]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-improved-weapon-pack

[ebon tusk]

anthology is pretty much, a gimmick
since youll have a better time just playing the OG Story Mods from where Anthology rips them
like, its very impressive that they were able to do that in anomaly, since modding anomaly sucks, but there is very little reason to play it as opposed to the mods themselves

[sour latch]

I will still need help since I mess things up very easily

[neon socket]

ic, then its off to the originals since i really dont like anomaly balance

it feels off

[ebon tusk]

just download, unpack, open jsgme, select the option with '(english translation)', click on the arrow, click apply, launch the game

actually they made it easier

[neon socket]

it comes with JGSME

so its pretty much just patching the english translation and CotZ

[ebon tusk]

the Anthology page has a list of the mods where they rip the stories and maps from since, anthology is just a anthology of story mods inside Anomaly

[sour latch]

Fine don't help then

[neon socket]

its just one click

[sour latch]

Also don't give me instructions now I won't remember for tomorrow

[sour latch]

Mate I'm not on my PC

[upbeat coral]

Some stuff, yeah
But that doesnt exactly work well for freeplay with no "correct" progression path

[sour latch]

I won't remember any of this information tomorrow
All I'm asking for is help with downloading this stuff tomorrow

The last time I tried installing it I messed up completely and quit for months

[neon socket]

searching for it i found a coc version aparently?

nvm it was still anomaly

[ebon tusk]

its not like Ill delete my msg tomorrw, you can reread it

[upbeat coral]

Anthology..

[sour latch]

Cherry if you're going to irritate me at least put effort into it

[sour latch]

That I won't remember to do either

My memory is not that good

[neon socket]

noo it i did not intended too, patching iwp is really just one click

its one of the most beiginer frienly packs tbh

[sour latch]

didn't understand what I meant at all

I'm gonna go before I hurl abuse at people, see ya

[neon socket]

im a dumbast now i understood

https://tenor.com/view/ehe-anime-gif-anime-girl-teehee-gif-27178660

[neon socket]

is that baad?

[upbeat coral]

Its literally bunch of stolen storylines ported to unstable hodgepodge platform with no care for balance

Inferior in every way to the mods it steals stuff from

[neon socket]

ah then nvm ill try to play the originals

i just get too exited form big and new maps

[upbeat coral]

If you want big new maps play The Exception

Great mod

[neon socket]

its translated

neat

[neon socket]

it went to my bookmarks

[upbeat coral]

The main protagonist is also absolute sigma ||(also known as autistic kid)||

[neon socket]

Scar moment

i really been slacking on stalker mods

since i started trying them pretty late

[upbeat coral]

[neon socket]

I been mostly a vanila and CoC player (i was too dumb to make other mods work)

[young fable]

is it okay i send my weapon pack showcase from youtube in here?

[neon socket]

I guess its is(? Since it is a mod

[young fable]

well i hope the mods arent face my body to walls and got those sweet sweet message from Wolf

[neat dune]

b33rm4n has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[young fable]

well he mad at me :3

[neon socket]

F

Wolf doing overtime

[neon socket]

I did watch the showcase and wow vanila weapons in HD

[young fable]

not HD

[neon socket]

I mean more definition than SoC

The AKM looks nice with the wood color

[young fable]

well lot of suggest that i shouldnt change the AK og looks

so i decide put the wooden AK to optional folder

[neon socket]

I guess the old color or the wood one could end up as an optional ver

[young fable]

still theres lot of thing i need think:

1. Find perfect mod name for the title.
2. Thumbnail.
3. Assemble the mods into 7zip.
4. Check something missing.
5. Need some little polish those and there.
6. Trailer
7. Where i should upload it?

being solo modder for this its bit hard

and i will change the video titles from Stalker Weapon Personality Version to devlog - weapons because, i had plan for better titles

[neon socket]

Mod db i guess(?? I have nerver used nexus for stalker

Also your mod will be for SoC?

[young fable]

SoC first

then Clear Sky in next development

same goes for CoP

BUT with different animation

[neon socket]

Nicee

[upbeat coral]

Fuсk you Wolf!
Stop interrupting art

[blissful sleet]

Not Wolf interrupting art

[young fable]

i hope he died in fire!

[lone token]

Is there any really insane graohic overhauls for SoC ? Aside from AA2?

[upbeat coral]

I think OGSR engine supports Screen Space Shaders

Also Autumn Aurora is mostly about gameplay no?

[blissful sleet]

It changes gameplay and graphics

[lone token]

No it’s definitely way better than everything else in terms of graphics

And lighting

But yeah gameplay changes like new weapons

Which aren’t labeled properly

And just have their entire file name

[upbeat coral]

Well
Try slapping OGSR engine on SoC

[blissful sleet]

Im sad bc there was an ABR mod in development for SoC but ive not seen anything other than the dev saying its coming

That was perfect blend of vanilla + fixes in gunplay

[lone token]

I’m using MOTZ and gunplay feels nice

[upbeat coral]

Good

ABR is fuсking dogshit

[blissful sleet]

ABR made CS actually bearable (until the end)

[radiant nimbus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3_gHW6tTdM

STALKER 2 mobile when

[upbeat coral]

It made CS actually the worst game of the three

SRP is miles superior

[blazing lichen]

I liked CS with just srp

[upbeat coral]

I preffer vanilla actually
But SRP gud

[blazing lichen]

Based

[upbeat coral]

Anyways
Gonna play RTTZ and hope my laptop doesnt melt

Goddamn thing runs on 40FPS on minimal details, on RTX 3050 and 12th i5

I hope Jekans next mod uses some 64 bit engine like OXR or IX-Ray

[blazing lichen]

That's actually insane how bad that 32 but engine runs

[upbeat coral]

I know right

The map has so much grass

But in OGSR I had more, but it ran better and temps were lower too

[ebon tusk]

Lol lmao

Lmfao

[blissful sleet]

Lemansk was no joke with that gunplay

[upbeat coral]

Limansk is easy even in vanilla
You just have to choose the right gun

[blissful sleet]

It wasnt the guns that was the issue. AI being laser precise terminators was the issue

Monolith dont screw around

[ebon tusk]

Expecting ABR to be good

[upbeat coral]

Uh huh
Is this AI in the room with us right now?

[blissful sleet]

Enjoy your mod on your potato its obvious you dont like discussion just shitting all over anything you dont like

[blazing lichen]

i played vanilla limansk on a pc that cost thousands and it wasnt super hard on master

[upbeat coral]

I only shit on poopoo mods if you havent noticed

[blazing lichen]

deserted hospital was harder then limansk lol

[upbeat coral]

Its all easy if you use Trophy AKM or any fast firing 7.62 gun for hat matter
Heck even 5.56 is solid if you have accuracy upgrades

[blissful sleet]

I lop them in together. The city was def easier than the hospital

Hospital was def no joke

[surreal goblet]

I need some identification services

I found a .rar on my pc, 458mb, seems to be a stalker mod, it's called "Get out of here stalker - the great communism and Stalin complete"

Which game is this for and how do i install it?

It's been lying around there for at least 2 years and i have no idea where it came from

[upbeat coral]

SoC

[radiant oriole]

good meme mod

sidcopter ftw

oh wait, it's stalin isnt it

[wooden ether]

oh boy that mode

wolf will give you 200 exoskeletons at the begin

somehow you can walk with them

[wooden ether]

and a guass rifle

Also the double barrel short shotgun has 200 ammo instead of 2
