[proven lantern]

I would like to get some opinions on my Mutant Changes for my Master Difficulty mod.

First of all, The base difficulty changes, most damage is doubled or more:

Hard : struct.begin {refkey=Empty}
   SID = Hard
   Weapon_BaseDamage = 1.75
   NPC_Weapon_BaseDamage = 2
   Mutant_BaseDamage = 1.75
   Explosion_BaseDamage = 1.5
   BuyCondition = 0.75
   Weapon_DurabilityDamage = 0.9
   SellCondition = 1
   Armor_Durability = 1
   Effect_Satiety = 2
   Regen_HP = 0.75
   Reward_MainLine_Money = 1
   Reward_SideLine_Money = 1
   Radiation_AccumulationSpeed = 1.5
   Anomaly_Damage = 1.75
   Upgrade_Cost = 1.25
   Repair_Cost = 1.2
   Consumable_Cost = 1.5
   Ammo_Cost = 1.5
   Effect_Bleeding = 1.2
   TitleSID = sid_misc_newGame_difficultyVeteran_STI
   DescriptionSID = sid_misc_newGame_difficultyVeteran_SDE
struct.end

And here are the mutant changes ive done:

It is mostly adding damage multipliers to bone in the Mutant models. Most of them had no differences between headshots or limb shots. Fighting mutants now require a lot more accurate damage, since they are pretty tough but subsceptible (not spongy) to headshots

Ive havent tested much besides Dogs and Bloodsuckers. Would like to get more testers on different zone/mutants

[worldly forge]

got the name for this legend that helped with the AES key? i'm having same issue

[cold pasture]

check you'r dms

[rough seal]

where are the .pak files? I get this output but no new file appears

[flat roost]

Show the comand you used

[rough seal]

repak pack --version V11 kellar_custom_balance /kellar_custom_balance_P.pak

I tried again with "repak.exe pack --version V11 kellar_custom_balance/ kellar_custom_balance_P.pak" and it worked

[steel wind]

i'm tryin gto mod difficultyprototypes.cfg and its having like no effect whatsoever on the game, am i repacking the file wrong or something? using unrealpak with compression

[flat roost]

What for some mods use zzz in the begging of name? It make it more priority?

Like this

[warm junco]

has anyone been able to cook .utoc and .ucas yet?

[ivory anchor]

Do you guys know if there's a noclip mod?

One of the doors I need to get out is stuck closed or something

I'm stuck on To The Last Drop of Blood when you exit

[flat roost]

Can two mods that change one cfg work together?

[upbeat coral]

No
You need to merge them manually

[flat roost]

And how priority works?

[upbeat coral]

Priority as in load order?

[tight finch]

where can I upgrade my AR416 Monolith? The dude in Zallissya can't do it apparently

[flat roost]

Very sad

[flat roost]

Yes. If two mods change one cfg, what of them wil be choosen?

[ivory anchor]

I just tried noclip and it didn't work. Apparently I need an animation to trigger and don't know how to do it

[upbeat coral]

the latter one to load

[ivory anchor]

If I can't get it to work, my game won't progress

[upbeat coral]

it will overwrite the prior mod

[flat roost]

Later in... name? Thats why some modmakers name files with "zzz_"?

[upbeat coral]

later in load order
if you are using mod manager that is, if you just put the files in the game then it overwrites immidiately

[ivory anchor]

Anyone know how to force a quest animation to happen?

[upbeat coral]

reload a save and get back to where it plays

[ivory anchor]

I've tried reloading a few minutes back but I guess I'll go further and pray

[flat roost]

We have a mod manager?!

Or you talking about Nexus mod?

[flat roost]

maybe mod for console can help. I saw there command for pushing quest stages

[ivory anchor]

I'd need help finding the quest stage

[upbeat coral]

JSGME

it works with like every game ever

[flat roost]

wait...

[ivory anchor]

I'm stuck on To The Last Drop of Blood, the very ending

[flat roost]

Wow

I must asked. Here we are talking about stalker 2 moding?

[ancient briar]

is this wrong? any mods i seem to put dont work

[flat roost]

Thats strange. Some mods work in Pack directory.

[ancient briar]

maybe some are conflicting but idk how to check that

[ivory anchor]

tfw reload an older save and still no animation

If you guys could help me find a way to either trigger this animation, or end the quest, that'd be great. I have 0 idea where to find the stuff in the files

[upbeat coral]

Dear Sir @ebon tusk
How do I find Hermit in Game of Souls
The hint is rather vague

[alpine rune]

does anyone know how to remove the red weapon tracers?

[proven lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nOnfrjnwqY

video of bloodsucker combat if anyone wants to take a peek

would really love feedback on how fighting mutants, and stalkers feels like now

[worldly forge]

looks a lot better, was thinking it should be around 1mag (or maybe 1.5mags) to take the thing down 😄

[proven lantern]

thats about 3 mags of missing like 50% of my shots

[worldly forge]

yer, looks good

[proven lantern]

but you cant no longer just stand and mag dump

gotta juke em

[worldly forge]

duck dip dodge and dive

[proven lantern]

ayeeeee i can take a gander at this

[proven lantern]

Care to share?

thank you @rugged canopy

[swift iron]

[mental ermine]

We need a mod to be able to run and reload lol I’ve died so many freaking times because I have to slow down to snail pace while getting my head stomped in by mutants just to be able to have something to fight back with 😩😂

[ebon tusk]

mustve been a PAIN to setup script wise, however, its like one of those 2000s Adventure Point and Click games
https://youtu.be/7dEhEepaxQo?si=bZ4heZyPD3m-Bb_w

[upbeat coral]

[feral hare]

does uetools crash for anyone else?

[turbid comet]

How are the prospect for modding the new game now?

[steel wind]

Is it a known thing that cfg mods just don't work on the Microsoft version?

[steel wind]

nvm, it was the way i was repacking my configs, it was incorrect

sry for dumb question

[spiral jewel]

is there a way to force skip a quest its bugged and theres no way to complete it

[ivory anchor]

That's what I've been asking for a few hours now

[spiral jewel]

some bull foma in chasing ghosts is invincible and wont get knocked down

[ivory anchor]

I have an animation that doesn't trigger lol

[spiral jewel]

there has to be a way with console commands

did you have any mods on ?

[misty apex]

I got beef with you!

[ivory anchor]

I had the console enabler mod earlier in the game to kill the chimera. Then I uninstalled and went on my way

[upbeat coral]

the great Solid Squid himself has beef with me

[ivory anchor]

I reinstalled to try forcing the animation or noclip or whatever. But I have no clue how to force it, and nobody answers so I don't know

Just permanently stuck. I'm probably taking it as my hint to drop the game until they fix A-life and whatnot

[misty apex]

Aha but seriously brother, you can't deny for an experienced stalker player anomaly and its add-ons breath alot of freshness (not talking about the tacticool guns)

[upbeat coral]

no

Anomaly is the same same formula thats been used for nearly a decade now

it doesnt have fresh content, everything is recycled from other mods

if you want fresh experience you play story mods

[misty apex]

Aye true if i want story, but if you want to play an average stalker making it to legend GAMMA really does have it all. for that purpose, i'm not saying i've played every mod under the sun. But some mods/modpacks are just custom experiences and thats why anomaly is enjoyed by alot of players

Because i can customise the experience

Now your right about CS and the reduction in pop

[upbeat coral]

I can see why some may enjoy Anomaly, but it becomes extremely boring, repetetive and uninovative after playing through few story mods

it doesnt evolve in any way

[spiral jewel]

do you by chance still have the mod ? they deleted it off of nexus 😦

[misty apex]

Your right but the player evolves, Stalkers best charm was the leveled maps and having all of them. Getting to Prypiyat is a chore but when you get there on a first playthrough and your take all that BS knowedge to survive. I think as an experience of just getting immersed it delivers

What story mods are your fav btw? out of interest

[upbeat coral]

yeah but the maps get old, especially when the quests are same all the time

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere, Return to the Zone, The Exception and Spatial Anomaly

[misty apex]

Agreed it needs variety

[upbeat coral]

theres many more I like as well but these are some of the best I played

now for you to see where Im coming from
These are the mods I finished (not just played, finished)

[misty apex]

I've not tried Goldsphere or SA so i'll give them a try. At least till S2 is polished

[upbeat coral]

29 mods (technically 30 since the sheet is out of date)

[fiery scarab]

I think a couple years back there was a breakthrough in map mods but they just aren't compatible with anything. If you've ever been to meadow in anomaly (which wasn't even a from scratch map it was just salvaged deleted content) you know how bad it can be

I think theres one map mod rn?? Might be more

[upbeat coral]

The Exception consist exclusively of new and/or severely expanded old maps

they were taken from unfinished mod In Spites of The Death (same one New Levels addon for Anomaly takes the surface levels from)

[neat dune]

acrotwit has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fiery scarab]

Yeapathfinding just gets messed up with all of them and nothing works

[misty apex]

Ay you've played alot of em, Stalker and XCOM 1993 are games i jump between but some mods have such depth for people who want to just chill in the zone, me and my pals always share GAMMA stories because its journey (and width as Gamma is more wide then deep)

[upbeat coral]

maps from The Exception

[misty apex]

lot of people hate OpenXcom becuse it bloats the game, but for me it adds aalot more progression

[misty apex]

Got any on the ground SC?

for the middle one

[upbeat coral]

SC?

oh screenshots

not really, I went there at night sadly, it serves as Spatial Trap of sorts

there isnt much to do

its just long forest path and then a swamp with hut

the quest and enemies are good but the map itself isnt anything crazy

thats why I love story mods, they can make good stuff of even somewhat boring maps

[misty apex]

I always like maps like cordon and meadows for being a long branch, even if they are sparse of life sometimes

Compared to Jupiter which i hate 🤮

[upbeat coral]

Jupiter isnt great map but I wouldnt call it bad

its just that most mods dont do it justice

Return to the Zone had fantastic twist on the map

but I cant say much, its extremely spoiler heavy

[misty apex]

I'll give some of them a try, as i am sick of Sin in GAMMA rn, wish i never started taht mission

[upbeat coral]

Sin in Lost to the Zone is just...

so much wasted potential

[rich knot]

Good Sid or bad sid?

[rich knot]

Damn

[upbeat coral]

Sid from Ice Age would have been less goofy and more creative villian than LTTZ Sin

[rich knot]

Have you played Legend Returns?

Oh just remembered that it got taken off

[upbeat coral]

a bit, didnt get far, Artifact hunting was pain

[rich knot]

Heard that the sin in legend returns was pretty good

[upbeat coral]

oh Sin in LR was awesome

[rich knot]

Anomalous said it in his sin video

[upbeat coral]

they inovated the concept in the right way

Sin is now bunch of Lunatics whos goal is to clensethe Zone, they arent just Monolith 2.0 but real monsters
They use body parts as currency
Cut off Stalkers faces to use as mask to infiltrate enemy bases
And you as player need to assasinate every faction leader

They made Sin non-bildo but still amazing in its own way

[rich knot]

Krashnikov made a mod pack for CoC call KUM and you could get ears of stalkers from inventory.

[upbeat coral]

holy kino

[upbeat coral]

@misty apex okay I went through my Exception screenshots and found this for the middle map, rest of my screenshots are just inventory
Also they may be dark, I play on rather high brightness

[misty apex]

Looks pretty spooky, without spoiling it are the enmies a fright fest?

[upbeat coral]

not a fright fest but it is pretty scary, the atmosphere is good, environmental storytelling as well, and at night, the low visibility and mutant growls add a lot of dense atmosphere to it

[misty apex]

Nice got the story mods added to the list to try

[upbeat coral]

its great mod
It has no sidequests yet squeezes in a lot of content

lots of hidden stuff, unique artifacts, mutant bosses etc

[civic pewter]

Sin in Legend Returns 0.9.0-0.9.2:

[upbeat coral]

combine that with new maps and some cool features and the mod is extremely refreshing

[idle matrix]

I only got to play a little bit of the Exception before S2 launch but it's pretty cool. Glad Psy did it before taking his break

[crisp fog]

best mods to get for SoC playthrough for better feel and grpahics?

[ruby citrus]

nothing.

play vanilla, and if you just can't, and the thought of playing an actual proper mod scares you, then Memories of the Zone is an alright option

[upbeat coral]

Or just slap OGSR engine onto the game

[crisp fog]

I played vanilla before back in the day, now I just want to play the same story with new graphics and new features, I've no problems with the game being harder etc

[ruby citrus]

new features as in? Radiophobia is supposed to be a SoC-remake kinda thingy, but i'm not sure if it adds new quests
OGSR is fun and is a "SoC-upgraded" type of mod, but it's essentially just a technologically advanced vasyanka, has new quests and even a post-game story expansion

[crisp fog]

is OGSR the same thing as Radiophobia 3? or same engine? I see this suggested a lot online

[crisp fog]

Okay that explains it, I think I will go for OGSR then, and maybe try radiophobia after

thanks

[ruby citrus]

i suggest playing total conversions with entirely new stories tbh 💅💅

try something like Vector of Alienation or Oblivion Lost Remake 2.5 at some point, you might like it

[rich knot]

AMK autumn edition is a great mod for SoC. It does add somethings that aren't in banilla.

[crisp fog]

I also just want the best graphics possible, I have a new pc so want to use it to the best of its abilities

[upbeat coral]

Just SoC with OGSR engine then

Not OGSR as whole mod

[ruby citrus]

a lot of mods get ported to OGSR engine nowadays, it's fairly advanced
Dreamcatcher is a story mod with very solid graphics, looks a bit dull but modern in a way
There are also a couple of mods that got attention a few months back, Anomaly: Custom and SoC Upgrade or smth? both suck but have ULTRADOOPERREALISTICSUPERGRAPHIXXX

and for vanilla, again, Memories of the Zone is a nice pack, it's OGSR engine and some texture packs

[red phoenix]

anyone working on mods
i would be grateful for a reload while sprinting mod

[ivory anchor]

tbh I'm okay with not reloading while sprinting. What I do want is using consumables like your medkit while sprinting

[boreal sierra]

And if you're sprinting while healing you can fk it up and stab an artery

Modders pls

[ivory anchor]

Small chance of fumbling your throw every time you use a grenade

[boreal sierra]

Just lands at your feet imagine impact nades

[upbeat coral]

I find it funny how Anomaly Custom doesnt even run on Anomaly engine when thats the only real selling point Anomaly has

Common IX-Ray W

[ember swan]

I have no idea if this is the right channel, but does manually downloading mods somehow break them? I don't use Vortex, and only 1 out of the 15 mods I attempted to install works

[sage citrus]

Can't get it to open at all.

[mental ermine]

No, it shouldn’t. I manually download every single one (and I have a premium membership with Nexus). Everything I’ve installed in the paks folder works so far! I did have one instance where I replaced an outdated mod in the paks folder with the newest version, and for some reason when the game loaded up, it was not recognizing it, and it wouldn’t work. I took the file out of the “paks/~mods” folder, booted up the game without anything in that folder, then closed it once I got to the menu. Put the new version of that mod BACK into the “paks/~mods” folder, booted it back up, and now it works lol. Sometimes it needs to boot first without the mods, then again with them for them to work idk man it’s weird

[ember swan]

My mods started working after I installed Vortex and started using its Deployment system. Before that, nothing ever worked lol

[sage citrus]

The Localisation editor, it won't open.

[mental ermine]

👀 ayyyeee I mean, might be a good piece of advice man 👁️👄👁️

[ember swan]

Yeah, but I don't like being forced to use proprietary tech for something I am more used to doing manually. As a developer, I prefer doing stuff manually until I know what the code is doing

[alpine bloom]

anyone got mod recommendations? i want to play story mod on SoC similar to Goldsphere, or Priboi like that :thumbsup:

[sage citrus]

Updated now it opens but all I get is this.

[pale swift]

nlc7

[alpine bloom]

different story?

[strange oxide]

for S2 mod I want to stay vanilla to the game as possible while upping the difficulty and making it fair. so far using this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/51 and just want any other potential suggestions as this mod changes a bit too much

I just want reduced mutant tankiness (less than 50 percent) plus ensure that me and the npcs have an equal chance of dying

[velvet saddle]

my grass and shadows a flickering after i installed the performance mod i deleted it but its still flickering?

[limpid tulip]

@upbeat coralhow is stalker 2? is sovl?

[visual compass]

Can someone make a jump height mod for S2?
in Stalker2/Content/GameLite/Blueprints/Characters/Player/BP_Stalker2Character.uasset change the ModelCharacterMovementComponent's JumpZVelocity from 700 to like 800, or alternatively find some way to make mantling/vaulting/climbing work from a little greater distance?
there's some spots where it's obvious climbing is intended but the jump height is just barely too short

[normal rover]

I was thinking the same thing, like they made it just short enough that if you don't hit it at exactly the right angle you fall, or the jump just doesnt even happen

[idle matrix]

If only we could mod in the old crouch jumping trick

[stiff belfry]

I would love if a modder could hotfix the broken quests after SIRCCA

[obsidian coyote]

How do i repack a cfg file into pak?

[chilly thicket]

hey guys - anyone know if there's a guide anywhere yet to making mods for s2? I wanna make some localization fixes that're nagging at me but I just don't know how. Alternatively, if I should ask in a different place, please let me know! Thank you!

(kinda wanna try making armor reskins too c:)

[young fable]

soon.

[obsidian coyote]

Made a bat file to drag and drop the folder on top of it to repack mods.
You need to have repack installed with the .msi file download or the exe on the same folder as the bat.
The file name will be the same as the folder_name.pak.
It also, checks for json files and renames any json file inside the folder back to cfg https://github.com/trumank/repak

[wicked raft]

So I'm able to read .uasset data/textures but what's the process of overriding them? I don't know what the original file extension is

[slender dove]

hi, i was thinking about getting into stalker, but i wanted to play the game with modern asthetics, looking like the mod pack ADEGA, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNFxq_fOvrg&t=748s&ab_channel=CUSTERPLAYS ) how much time/ how difficult will this be to do while also still retaining the vanilla experience, assuming i can just replace a couple things, without making the game apparently more difficult with anomaly/gamma.

[runic perch]

What?? already??

[young fable]

For Shadow Of Chernobyl

[runic perch]

You motherfu- 🗿

You had me hyped for a moment I got a weapon model prepared for that

[young fable]

sorry lads

[runic perch]

At least you ain't french

[toxic tree]

this for s2 too?

[young fable]

no

i mean you can see its Trilogy category so

[toxic tree]

okay.... wheres the stalker 2 mod channel then? boom... thought so...

[runic perch]

This is the zone

It's the modification for everything

All stalker games

[visual compass]

makes trader item in stock chances 100%

[rough seal]

What do I do with .ucas ahd .utoc files? I want to understand how a certain mod is made and it has three files .pak, .ucas, .utoc, how I do I unpack those? Or would I just need to alter .pak?

[wicked raft]

Treat them as the same as .pak files

[untold glen]

what version of CoTZ i should run? yeah, i cant play stalker 2 sadly

[warm junco]

u need to cook .utoc .ucas in unreal engine

[timber ice]

This is the one. A mod just said we should use this one for the time being and ask for them to be pinned

[somber oyster]

Aight here goes, mod suggestions:
-Cut down bloodsucker spawn rate by, like, 70%
-Texture downgrader. Like, all the textures down to 1/2k resolution for the rigs that are struggling.
-Particle effects downgrader. Some of the weather and anomlies is murder on FPS.
-Faction rep screen/dynamic player relations
-NVGs, obviously
-Improved NPC identification system. Kinda hard to figure out who people are, also the loot screen doesn't show their factions anymore.
-CoP/Anomaly-based legacy inventory and dialogue UI. the new stuff is huge and very tailored to consoles

I get we can only mess with textures and configs rn so hopefull at least we get some graphics downgraders for the poor stalkers out there

[ruby citrus]

wait it doesn't??? lmfao

[noble basalt]

i by now realized anomaly and 'anomaly custom' are two separate game. i thought 'anomaly custom' means its anomaly with user-added addon

[flat roost]

What is it? Found it in CoreVariables.cfg. Stalkers can loot monsters?

[simple thistle]

Given the number of "optimization" mods out there meant for improving performance, anyone know which works best?

[alpine rune]

does anyone know how to disable the red weapon tracers?

[wide sleet]

There is a quest where you need to kill a controller with a collar with a code on it. You loot it.

And a sound beeps when you are close to it to tell you to loot it

[rough seal]

Does someone have a list of all the STALKER 2 Weapons vs their real life names? I am making a mod to rename them in game with the IRL names, but I am unfamiliar with some of them.

[simple thistle]

There's already a mod that does that

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/110

[rough seal]

Nice! Although I see it's a bit incomplete, can't blame the guy, it's a massive list of things to change, good to know, someone is already working on it.

[steady oar]

did anyone already figure out how to extract the .bnk Wwise audio bank files?

[worldly forge]

did you find out?

[steady oar]

i tried it with https://github.com/eXpl0it3r/bnkextr
and
https://github.com/Morilli/bnk-extract-GUI
and
https://github.com/Morilli/bnk-extract/

[wicked raft]

With Json files I think you can reimport them as uassets using the JsonAsAsset UE plugin

[cold galleon]

Greetings Stalkers.
I seek thine wisdoms.
I was playing an overhaul mod for stalker soc.
A mod which due to being rather difficult, had lowered enemy accuracy over long distances much lower for balancing reason.
Then I tried to install the go prone mod over it.
https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/prone-mod-for-soc-player-icon
This one to be exact.
It seems to have made enemy accuracy over long distances much higher by making some changes to the actor.ltx files.
Do you know which lines I need to change back in order to fix this problem?

[idle hinge]

I agree, tho epic and gsc should make the engine not run like crap and smear due to taa
Game has very similar fidelity to exodus, while running at half its speed

[cold galleon]

@upbeat coral
I need help.

[neat dune]

skibidiohiosigmamango has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fierce lance]

Are there modders checking out if they can make the flashlights better or is that hard to do?

[raw nexus]

stalker 2 bodycam without bad effects

[somber oyster]

i dont think its doable atm. need to wait for official tools

[fierce lance]

Alright perhaps they fix it in the next patch. 🙏

[dusty shadow]

Hey, does someone happens to know if there's a mod to make chitchat and dialog to be in different languages? I kinda want chitchat to be in ukranian and the dialogs to be in english

[fierce lance]

Game settings allows that.

[dusty shadow]

oh, I didn't know, thanks!

[fierce lance]

I play with Ukrainian audio and english subs.

[dusty shadow]

oh, I mean voices for both. Chitchat to be in Ukranian and dialogs to be in english

[dusty shadow]

like in the original Shadow of Chernobyl

[fierce lance]

Maybe i dont understand your question 😛

[dusty shadow]

let find a video

[fierce lance]

Ah you want random NPC sounds to be different.

No i dont think you can.

[bitter galleon]

They make a mod yet to reduce how much you gotta eat on Veteran? I go through freakin stacks of sausages. More annoying than immersive, unless skif has a huge tapeworm.

[simple thistle]

Also has anyone else noticed that some of the cutscenes and NPCs have their mouth movements in English while others are Ukranian? regardless of what you have the language set to

[fierce lance]

I feel like it makes up for the amount of food and drinks you find, im playing with hardmode mod and still getting sh!t loads of food and drinks.

[simple thistle]

My head cannon is that he has a tapeworm

Would be nice if there was ultrawide versions of the loading screens, in case anyone wants to do that

[bitter galleon]

My supply isnt a problem. Having to replace my anti radiation slot with food because I have to press it every min, is my problem. It just isn't fun, the rest of veteran is good.

Ergo, anyone seen a food mod yet?

Id rather find less supplies but not have to spam eat food all session.

Id settle for a visible hunger gauge I could check somehow lol

[fierce lance]

Yea we need UI for food and drinks

[little pulsar]

Guys is there a way to mod blood decals on bodies and walls/scenery when i shoot an enemy?

[fierce lance]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/9

[dusty shadow]

yeah, the chitchat. https://youtu.be/Sq1fibfEmPU?t=339 in the video you can hear NPC's main dialog to be in english but the background chitchat to be in other language

[little pulsar]

this is a performance mod

[bitter galleon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/99

for blood spatter

[fierce lance]

Woops, typo it was 99 not 9 😛

[bitter galleon]

The only one I know of that isnt performance based, so far.

[little pulsar]

yeah i've seen this one, is it for pre-spawned dead npcs, or does it modify dynamic blood splatters?

[bitter galleon]

I believe it is from combat.

No pre set for dead actors, from what I read

[little pulsar]

alright thanks mate, you live up to you name

now wait for someone to mod better ragdolls

cuz vanilla ones are awful

[bitter galleon]

Possible fix? https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/75

Not the actual animation but the interactivity with the ragdolled body.

Plus some other cool stuff. I am using it atm 😛

[little pulsar]

i already have this one too

but it doesn't change ragdolls

just makes physics more persistent

[bitter galleon]

Ye, just the timeframe of interation with the physic

I am loving how fast the modding scene is exploding. I'm sure they will have something soon

[little pulsar]

pretty sure someone is already working on it

[bitter galleon]

Now if only I can get one to cure Skifs tapeworm/eating disorder.

[upbeat coral]

Ill get to you later on
Cant help much as of now

[upbeat coral]

Nope
It uses IX-Ray (probably best 64 bit engine as of now) because Monolith is complete and utter Monoshit

[red phoenix]

gotta eat every 5 minutes or you'll die!

[gray hearth]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/62

Found this mod that changes some stuff up for the Online spawning since the Offline system for A-Life isn't working.

Haven't tried it out yet personally as I'm at work but hopefully this makes the zone less dead and more interesting than it currently is.

[queen briar]

I want to play the original trilogy for the first time. Should I go with mods or vanilla?

[clever comet]

vanilla, mods if you keep crashing

Vanilla all the way

Dont listen to people who say "uhh you need mods because bug"
They are clowns who cry because of easily avoidable glitches

[cold galleon]

Alright.
Thanks.
I'll wait.
One single question though.
It appears to also have damaged gunplay in some ways.
Can you tell me which values were changed to allow going prone instead?

Also, it appears that crouching and low crouching lower recoil.
Can you tell me which values that is, also?
I want to lower that one too.

[upbeat coral]

the mod doesnt change enemy accuracy at all

[brittle kraken]

Guys - do you have any suggestions for a good non-Anomaly og trilogy mod to play while waiting for S2 fixes?

[upbeat coral]

maybe the first mod had lowered player damage as well compared to vanilla and this one reset it to default values

[upbeat coral]

story or gameplay?

[brittle kraken]

I love how GAMMA looks, but it changes way too many mechanics from the get go. I'm looking for a way to mod-in gamma-level graphics to a near-vanilla like experience.

[upbeat coral]

OGSR

boom

done

use pre-GA version

[supple nest]

Anyone managed to Unpack succesfully on the Xbox Game Pass version?

[queen briar]

Okay so Vanilla for Shadow, then Sky Reclamation Project for Clear Sky then Call of Prypiat vanilla? 😄

[upbeat coral]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uhK8zMhQHdhpP-uidRI2ajttnjQ3oK0z/view?usp=sharing

no

its not just bugfixes

[brittle kraken]

well thank you

[queen briar]

Okay I'll use them. Once I'm done with the games what is the best to just jump into the zone for fun?

[upbeat coral]

no you cant
not with ZRP

its illusion of choice, you will NEVER get bugfixes only

with SRP you can

ZRP...
NOPE

[rich knot]

Start with Shadow of Chernobyl.

[upbeat coral]

probably Call of the Zone

vanilla style Freeplay mod

[rich knot]

Oh didn't read the second part lol

[upbeat coral]

[rich knot]

Global War is fun but it's unstable since it's in alpha

[noble basalt]

its only all-chaos

[little plover]

I had an absolute blast playing SoC and CoP with Gunslinger mod but it can be difficult at times, especially Burers, they made Burers the hardest things in the game to kill.

[noble basalt]

since you are playing Shadow of Chernobyl, are you not planning to play other Clear sky and Call of Pripyat?

if you jump straight to mods after Shadow of Chernobyl, i'd recommend "Doom's Mod Merge" for freeplay. it is more familiar if only played Shadow of Chernobyl

Of course i also not stopping from playing Stalker: call of the zone. since it is as close too

[thorn jackal]

call of chernobyl improved weapons pack

[thorn jackal]

ah you want og trilogy

it's freeplay too

it is pretty much what you are asking for but freeplay lol

for shadow of chernobyl maybe radiophobia 3? it's definitely not for everyone imo it's fine

[brittle kraken]

I just realized even with heavy mods the difference between CoP and S2 is absolutely massive looks-wise, people saying mods look better than S2 must be vision impaired.

[queen briar]

Where can I download the Reclamation Project mods? I cant find them on Nexus

[upbeat coral]

people saying mods look better have Pink filter NVGs on their face

[upbeat coral]

on moddb

dont use ZRP tho

its poopoo

not only is it not bigfix only, but it adds more bugs which are worse than the few it fixes

[queen briar]

ah okay

[proven lantern]

Can someone clarify to me the need for the *_P at the end of mod names now? Is this for GamePass mods?

[hearty crow]

It's standard for all the UE mods that I've seen.

Why the need, I don't know, but it's not new.

[proven lantern]

Interesting. None of the mods ive made needed it and theyve been working so far.

[hearty crow]

Interesting, well, for UE4 IIRC it was a requirement for the mods to work. Dunno if it's changed.

[proven lantern]

I mean, just take a look at most of the mods here and on Nexus. I dont think most have them. Ive seen them on Groks and a couple others

Ill just rename my paks to have it, but so far i havent had the need to

[queen briar]

This one for Shadow of Chernobyl? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009

@ebon tusk GOS New Beggining crashes when talking to the Freedom rebel leader after the Bloodsucker Village mission

the one with bunch of teleporters killing a freedomer

[ruby citrus]

no

what do you want far SoC? just play vanilla 💅

[hearty crow]

Yeah I'm not sure. I made a mod for Days Gone and I am pretty sure they didn't work until they had the *_P at the end. It may be that it changed for UE5 (DG was UE4).

[proven lantern]

I've already updated my mods JUST to be sure. But all my mods were tested just fine

[neon socket]

Can anyone help me?

[upbeat coral]

probably not

whats the issue?

[brave wigeon]

Is that any guides on how to unpack Stalker 2 files so I can make a mod (Change values in a config for example damage)

[ruby citrus]

how

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-following-video-game-gif-17964670

[cold galleon]

Ok.
Can you just explain to me which lines I have to change in order to reenable the prone position?
Just point out the lines and I'll copy paste from the mod.
Also, what value do I need to change in order to lower recoil?

[upbeat coral]

something like "camera position"

its not really going prone, its decreasing low crouch height

[flat roost]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/articles/3

[cold galleon]

Ok.
Thanks.
Also, how about the recoil?
How do I lower it?
I want to lower it in order to simulate complete prone mode.

[upbeat coral]

SoC doesnt have recoil no?

[cold galleon]

?

I think it's the LURK mod's work.

[cold galleon]

How do I lower recoil?

[upbeat coral]

you dont
its the same in all positions
and its solely gun dependent

[cold galleon]

I should have just gotten arsenal advance.
That would be a better option.

Even though it crashes every time you try to go from Garbage to Cordon.

[cold galleon]

No.
I can actually feel it being lowered in crouch position.
At least, is there a certain specific file where I can lower recoil?

For each specific gun?

[cold galleon]

Can you tell me which lines in which files I need to change?

[obsidian coyote]

Could i get this pinned for Stalker 2 modding tools?

https://github.com/ramonsantana/Drag-drop-Repak-for-Stalker-2/tree/main

[noble basalt]

is the same for soc

[obsidian coyote]

I will probably make a gui C# app at some point

[cold galleon]

Thank you so much.

[cold galleon]

Wait, what does each factor do?
I don't want to change too much.

[noble basalt]

umm hello discord?

i can't send text for some reason

[rich knot]

I can't see your text or reply to them

[noble basalt]

??? ahh damnit i will just screenshot it

[rich knot]

I can see your text
Ig it's on your end that your message doesn't seem to go through

[rich knot]

That text didn't go through

[noble basalt]

Yeah discord error moment

[chilly thicket]

bump

[exotic hazel]

Would it be possible to mod draw distance of game objects/NPCs?

[cold galleon]

What does each one do though?
💀

I simply went to lower recoil offset and not by too much at that.
Which exact parameters do I have to change?

And by how much?

[noble basalt]

recoil as if how much the gun camera will climb up vertically after each shot, or how much accuracy spread when shooting rapidly?

[cold galleon]

Both.
Both is good.

I want to lower camera climb by about 60% and accuracy spread by 25%.

[noble basalt]

uhhh.... i'd say

fire_dispersion_base = 0.22
control_inertion_factor = 1.2f crosshair_inertion         = 5.80 

edit those three to as low as you like

also backup your original file just in case

also i learned that i can edit w_bolt.ltx to explode like grenades lmao

[cold galleon]

👍

[cold galleon]

Wait, how?
Can I learn this power?

[blissful bear]

Anyone know if it's possible to edit the range of durability for weapons and armour that NPCs drop? And where that .cfg would be called/located? (Stalker 2)

[upbeat coral]

We could in trilogy so we likely will be able to even in S2

[blissful bear]

Ye just tryna find it. First time using FModel and Modding in Unreal so we scour until we find.

[visual island]

Anyone using that Grok mod that adjusts mutant health? Gotta quick question bout installation.

[blissful bear]

Yeah I'm using it.

[visual island]

Aight sweet. So I’m gonna just use the balanced for all folder. I extracted it to access it, so do I then drag the entire balanced folder or just move the paks within it?

If there’s even a difference in that

[blissful bear]

Should be like this inside ~mods

Perfect. Thanks pal

[runic perch]

It's in the game already

Just turn it into a polish ak by polishing it

[ivory anchor]

It's right on the border so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch

Relatively lore friendly 5.56 AK

stalker 2 is probably set in somewhere 2024

The Leupold HAMR is fairly new and recent and they have laptops now

I'm hoping this one doesn't need a mod

[limpid tulip]

i miss tejas an chymo

[alpine bloom]

cant find it

i really want to play old mods of SoC but the version

is complicated

[rich knot]

They are still there

[limpid tulip]

i have not see them

i wanted them to tell me how is stalker 2

i already watched the full walkthought and

eh... maybe its a different experience when you actually play it

[idle matrix]

Well, that is how the medium is meant to be enjoyed

[rich knot]

They are in #💬┃en_offtop and the #⭐┃nospoilers_general sometimes.

[limpid tulip]

damn the timout is horrible

[rich knot]

Chymo is only in the stalker channel sometimes because the brainrot is crazy in that channel

[limpid tulip]

@rich knotare you playing tsalker 2 how is it?

[runic perch]

Unfortunately it does, you can't do anything to mutants 😦

[ivory anchor]

No you don't get what I'm saying. This should just be a base feature

[rich knot]

Can't run it. I have an i-gpu. Also the game requires a SSD.

[limpid tulip]

why requires ssd?

[rich knot]

I might be confusing it with The Exception mod but the reasoning is that the maps are big so it will take a while to load on a Hard drive.

[limpid tulip]

How did you completes goldsphere in ogse?

[rich knot]

By playing the game

[idle matrix]

S2 does require SSD because it uses asset streaming to enable the big open world. The Exception really only works well on SSD because some of the maps are stupidly large and will take forever to load off HDD

[limpid tulip]

but th save corruption

[rich knot]

I outsaved the corruption

I made frequent saves and when they got corrupted I went back to older ones

[limpid tulip]

is it only in garbage?

or from garbabe and so one?

[rich knot]

If a mission gave me save corruption I noticed that at minimum of 5 automatic hardsaves removed the corruption. It was usually 5.

Garbage and so on. I didn't have too many after Rostok.

You have to go the search function of the server and activate them.

this is for s2 modding as well afaik

tbh this is one of the best modernizations of the AK

Hopefully mods add stuff like this eventually

[supple moss]

Any way to disable / edit aim zoom in SoC?

[supple moss]

Or if anybody can recommend gunplay / visual mods that don't change anything else that would be great! I've heard things like Radiophobia changes alot of the core game and it's my first playthrough.

[cold galleon]

Het.
Rifle is fine.
You of weigh down rifle by flashlight mount and optic sight and still can't shoot large side of barn.

[ivory anchor]

It's kinda odd how heavy AKs are with the most basic accessories

[cold galleon]

Hemmmm.
Can't remember the copy pasta was.

[cold galleon]

As I said.
Rifle is fine.

[noble basalt]

Yes it is possible

Although for you i bet its very tedious. It requires editing Each weapons ltx

[supple moss]

dumb question but where would my gamedata folder be, haven't installed any mods..

[noble basalt]

see its gonna be tedious . you need to unpack the gamefiles, since stalker by default all packed into .db files. that requires installing a stalker .db extractor first

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/downloads/stalker-extractor

Or follow this instruction above

[supple moss]

Ahh how weird, thank ya much. Was wondering why I couldn't just find an ini file to adjust lol. JW was making the original game(s) easily moddable in the devs plan or is that just a thing for 2 since the modding community is so great?

[dark badge]

yo this is prolly a niche ask but has anyone found a way to remove the blood mist effect when shooting ppl or at least reduce it?

[supple moss]

what is the games default fov?

One last question.
I feel like the LURK mod has a (for example) 0.8 multiplier for firing while crouched.
Do you know where and what such multiplier would be?

Changed weapon zoom to match game fov, tested with with weapon first, worked, proceeded with the rest, game wont start, how did modders even start to understand this game and engine

that means error when the folder itself doesn't detect the w_rgd5.ltx caused when it is missing from your folder or accidentally deleted.

Mind if you share the screenshot of that ltx file opened with notepad/any apps in that folder?

[cold galleon]

@upbeat coral
Can you help me?

[winter jolt]

random question to modders, how is S2 modding compared to the og trilogy? easier or harder?

[upbeat coral]

Trilogy has that
But Im not sure where the parameter is

maybe actor.ltx

[late robin]

Since Stalker 2 runs on Unreal Engine its a lot easier to mod for it, since its not a proprietary engine which people have to get accustomed to first.

[noble basalt]

ohh you mean accuracy increase while crouching? well that would be anything with PDM in the parameter

in each weapons.ltx

PDM_disp / PDM_dispersion

i thought you mean shot from npc stalkers

PDM_disp_base = The multiplier by which the base dispersion of the weapon is multiplied when the player stands still.

PDM_disp_vel_factor = The multiplier by which the base dispersion of the weapon is multiplied when the player turns the weapon or jogging.

PDM_disp_accel_factor = The multiplier by which the base dispersion of the weapon is multiplied when the player is running in a sprint.

PDM_crouch = The multiplier by which the base variance of the weapon is multiplied when the player is crouched.

PDM_crouch_no_acc = The multiplier by which the base dispersion of the weapon is multiplied when the player low crouched and does not move. (by default almost the same as scoped-in accuracy)

[wicked raft]

Anyone know how to make a texture mod? Can't for the life of me get mine working

(for S2)

[barren dome]

are you replacing textures?

[wicked raft]

Yeah

[barren dome]

I'm gonna try, give me like 10-20 minutes.

[wicked raft]

I'm stumped on repaking them in a way that overrides the original

I see there's already a texture mod on nexus, just not sure how the guy did it

[rough seal]

Is anyone working on a 3rd person mod? or even just a camera like we had in SHOC? Would like it to at least take pictures and look at the cool suits.

[barren dome]

Which one? The blood one?

[wicked raft]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/150?tab=posts&BH=2

[barren dome]

Thank you.

[wicked raft]

That blood one was just adjusting scale values, didn't actually replace any textures

[barren dome]

I was looking at the blood one like an idiot, but that-

yeah

ahahaha

more confusing than i initially thought

[wicked raft]

Yeah

[barren dome]

I might be wrong, I'd have to test, but don't have the time right now.
However, I think this mod just simply sets the mountpoint to the original texture and force replaces it. There's no override logic.

    "MountPoint": "Stalker2/Content/_Stalker_2/weapons/knife/SK_gra_knife/Textures/",

Have you tried that?

[wicked raft]

Not really sure what you mean by that. AFAIK the mod is simply a new texture pakked using the same file structure as the original so it overrides on launch like any other mod currently

[barren dome]

sorry english sucks. i will be back later and try myself

[wicked raft]

The bit I'm struggling with is getting the new texture into a .uasset file that the game will read

[vague jackal]

developers cut v1,4007

[barren dome]

are you struggling with making the .uasset file or getting it to work with the game?

[upbeat coral]

Okay and whats the issue?

[vague jackal]

the game closes after loading from the main menu into the game

[wicked raft]

Well I can generate a .uasset file using the new texture but not in a way that the game is wanting to read

[upbeat coral]

is there a pc bug post? everytime you come into contact with an npc or walk near one the fps drops to like 5..... i dont know how to fix it, even with lowest settings it still does it....

[flat roost]

Created articles on ap pro on the topic of unpacking resources, archive contents, exporting models and textures to previous series and editing configs. Pleased with myself.

[winter jolt]

Thanks, disregarding the clear difference of times, do you think it has much more modding potential compared to the old XRay engine back in the day?
Am I wrong to feel kinda optimistic that many of the issues S2 has now could be easily be solved through mods, like what happened with things like the ZRP/SRP/PRP trilogy patches?

[upbeat coral]

ZRP..

When I repack the CoreVariables.cfrg the whole things values go to default when i next check it, does anyone know why or how to stop that happening?

[wicked raft]

Are you checking the values in Fmodel?

[tight cradle]

yes

[neat dune]

callmecorex has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wicked raft]

Fmodel tends to F up and show you an old version of the file from a different pak

Extract the file and open it in notepad

You'll probably find the values are what you should expect

[tight cradle]

The notepad values are correct but in game things aren't working wither to be fair

[wicked raft]

Didn't happen to misstype the .cfg extension like you did above?

[tight cradle]

I changed dialogue zoom because I'm on widescreen and it's not working, day length isn't changed and the pak file has zzzzzzzzzz at the begging to force it to load last

The extension is correct. Don't suppose you could take a look?

The zip has both the unpacked files and the .pak

[wicked raft]

Hm looks fine to me

Oddly enough 2 users on my dialogue zoom mod just reported it not working either

I'll double check my mod in the morning, it's pretty late here

[runic perch]

any mods that fix this garbage?

amazing textures...

[upbeat coral]

Shut up discord
I already give you money
What more do you want from me? 😭

[coral thunder]

wth is happening

[coral thunder]

do you see it too?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[coral thunder]

what does it says to you?

something about solara?

[upbeat coral]

Something something roblox solara give us money something join server

[neat dune]

crif3 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[coral thunder]

its a roblox exploit

don't click that shit

[upbeat coral]

You meant "Oh fuсk"?

[coral thunder]

mhm

how the heck did they bought the DISCORD Bot to announce this?

[upbeat coral]

Discord is corrupt as shit basically

Thats why I can say "fuсk" and you cant

:3

[worldly forge]

what the fudge

[upbeat coral]

I think you meant "what the fuсk"

[coral thunder]

okay now say "fuck" without the "

[upbeat coral]

Why the fuсk not

[coral thunder]

hmmm

fuсk

I think I got you...

[upbeat coral]

Just dont tell anyone

Okay

[coral thunder]

aight

[upbeat coral]

Moderators still dont know how this works :3

[coral thunder]

ok now onto the topic

HOW DO I OPEN UASSETS AAAA

[upbeat coral]

But I think even if they knew they wouldnt fix it, only select few members know this

[coral thunder]

its hell to make only a texture replacer

[upbeat coral]

Thats the neat part

You dont

[coral thunder]

why unreal engine need to be so bad

be like valve source engine lmao

[rich knot]

What about Rahmi

[rich knot]

He knows.

[chilly thicket]

bump again

[desert cypress]

I never played gamma or anomaly but anomaly is basically COC 2.0? And gamma is like 2.5? or is it like misery 2. (I played a lot of COC)

[torpid depot]

anomaly is built off Misery, a mod for COC

gamma is a mod pack for anomaly

the foundation is the same but the combat and many other things will be very different

[upbeat coral]

no
Anomaly is basically COC 0.5

its worse in every way

play Call of the Zone if you want COC 2.0

[ashen condor]

silly q is this a channel for stalker2 mods too? 😅

[upbeat coral]

for all mods

but S2 mods are close to none so far

other than balancing and optimization mods

[patent apex]

(ltx files)

[upbeat coral]

I hate LTX files

[tiny fern]

There's a couple of mods that rebalance things like stamina and movement speed. Would it be possible to make a mod to reduce hunger? This dude is hungry. Like hungry hungry hippo hungry. I mean sure, given the time progression in the game the rate of eating might make sense. but I feel like I'm pounding a can of food once every five minutes. Gets a bit repetitive.

[upbeat coral]

there sure is

no idea where tho

[ashen condor]

this is the cahnnel to yap about mods, why would there be a channel with mod links? just go to nexus and moddb and look

[desert cypress]

Wait wait wait, Ive been catching back up on mods and saw something about gunslinger being a crypto miner? I used to exclusively use that mod back in 2016 2017 😦

[ebon tusk]

not that I know of, prob a joke

[desert cypress]

ooohhhh nvm I misread I was thinking of arsenal overhaul, i couldnt have used gunslinger in 2017 cause it hadnt been released. durh

[ebon tusk]

the only mod I know that has a virus, is the Shoker mod thats uplaoded on moddb rn

[desert cypress]

good to know

[fringe hornet]

[vague jackal]

i reinstalled and it didnt work

game is still closing when trying to load into the game

from the main menu

[vague jackal]

figured it out

[hearty crow]

What are we looking at here

[wicked raft]

@coral thunder Use a mappings.umap file to read uassets

[coral thunder]

Yeah I figured it out with the people from GAMMA

thanks

[ruby citrus]

are you stupid? this is for trilogy mods and their discussion

who even gave you a CC role

[ivory anchor]

Nobody cares tbh

[fiery scarab]

where is moddb my beloved

[icy linden]

are modded cfg files not showing any changes when comparing against the original cfg files with vs code?

I'm trying to merge two mods that edit AIGlobals.cfg and neither say they have any differences

Was messing with Engine.ini settings and this happened......any idea wtf I did? xD

I think it's where there's supposed to be like rust maybe?

It works really smoothly otherwise, maybe someone else can spot what I did wrong

[cold galleon]

Octopod massacre.
Honestly, I always wished bloodsuckers would have blue blood instead of usual red.
Because octopods have blue blood.

[brittle kraken]

looks like wet surfaces turned blue

[simple thistle]

That sounds about right yea, not sure what could have caused that though

[brittle kraken]

you just said you did

[desert cypress]

since i cant share images anywhere else, how do i fix this weird spotty looking edges on foliage

I guess its not super apparent in a picture but ill try and record a video

its kinda compressed but yall should be able to see what im talkin about

[proper nimbus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/63

[desert cypress]

damn just realized this is mods chat im so sorry 😦

[brittle kraken]

you mean the blur?

[desert cypress]

nah the best way i can describe is the foliage is flickering

[supple moss]

That is Aliasing my friend. I seen there was a mod for removing TAA and motion blur. TAA can blur the image when moving / looking around, but because their is so many edges its hard to not notice that, I like dlss because it softens/blurs edges alot

[brittle kraken]

that just seems like aliasing

[supple moss]

Problem with aliasing is that their isn't many good anti aliasing methods

[proper nimbus]

Even "optimization" mods it's usually just a fancy config

[supple moss]

Aliasing is just rough edges of geometry, so foliage brings it out alot cause it overlaps over each other so much, that and when looking at trees your looking at the sky too giving a blank background most of the time to see it at its worst

[desert cypress]

oh im so dumb i thought aliasing and anti aliasing were the same thing

thank you!

it looks a lot better now

[supple moss]

Nice ya anti aliasing is literally the process of trying to remove aliasing lol.

Anybody know if zrp is okay to install in the middle of first playthrough? Made it to Rostok and would prefer to not restart

[steady oar]

so, is anyone putting a modding team for this together?

[proper nimbus]

Surprised that there only one chat for modders

[upbeat coral]

Yeah..

[fringe hornet]

Flashlight shadow casting being enabled

[steady oar]

Apparently, according to the creator of the mod, it still is a far cry from what hed like to see.

[upbeat coral]

No
ZRP isnt okay to install at any time
But mid playthrough it will cause more bugs than it fixes

[fringe hornet]

Do you guys think this will not get the modding potential of xray? I am well aware of ue limits in terms of modding but i was hoping this will be like ark or some shit

[supple moss]

Hmm, everything I seen said it will be fine, even on official site, guess we'll see.

[fringe hornet]

Whatever will sdk bring, i believe it will be limited to map

[steady oar]

i hope someone will manage to mod a overlay which adds the view of inside the helmet of certain armor types like the seva.. having bought an expensive suit and still feeling visually as if im in the zone with a naked face is just weird tbh. Id give it a shot myself, but i have no clue about modding appart from changing config files, which is something anyone can do really.

[fringe hornet]

Just make the game borderless and add some png overlay over the window

Overcomplicating easy things

/s

[steady oar]

lol

[somber oyster]

Hey for stalker 2, do i need to do anything different to mod on linux or can i just add a ~mods file in /paks?

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but the official site also states its a bugfix mod doesnt it?

When I installed it midsave, the bugs caused by ZRP (visual glitches mostly) became extremely common

[supple moss]

seems to be working fine

[proper nimbus]

Same, it's just uses proton compatibility layer

[somber oyster]

Cool. Just a few mods that arent working so was wondering

[proper nimbus]

I mean, it should work?

[somber oyster]

Well its mostly the ammo labeling mod. Id like to see AP at a glance but its not working, idk why. Said drop all files in /pak/~mods which i did

[proven laurel]

Bruh this game

[proper nimbus]

You must to unarchive it if you didn't already

[somber oyster]

Yea, i did
It has 3 separate files. One is a pak but it said drop in all 3

[upbeat coral]

Very futuristic

[proper nimbus]

Space stalker

[brittle kraken]

stalkfield

[upbeat coral]

True

[somber oyster]

Imma be honest, my biggest need from modders rn is a full on downgrader. Im talking 1k or 2k textures, reduced particles, LODs, etc… my rig can only take so much pain

[mystic harbor]

looks great

[simple thistle]

Have a optimization mod installed and it actually made the game look better xD

Goddamn this game looks pretty

[dusky totem]

Low rez textures and reduced particles won't solve performance issues. Right now game fully relies on nanite and lumen.
In order to get better performance across the board (for all gpus), GSC would have to disable nanite and create all of the low rez and LOD textures and meshes by hand (not literally, but using proper software and correcting errors by hand).
Lumen implementation is just insane. I understand that by using software lumen they don't have to implement more classical lighting system which takes a lot of time, but again, performance gains would be insane, especially for weaker CPUs.
Honestly, I hope, after all the patches, fixes and DLCs they would spend the time needed to implement proper lighting and proper optimized meshes and textures.
AT LEAST they should implement hardware RT to replace software lumen, so people with RTX cards would be able to leverage maximum performance, especially down the line (3-4-5 years latter).

[simple thistle]

You can change the implementation of Lumen to use hardware with an Engine.ini edit.....

[dusky totem]

You cannot force neither legacy Ray Tracing nor hardware lumen with console commands or Engine.ini flags if the UE project wasn't compiled for it. You need to compile UE project with "Use Hardware Ray Tracing When Available" rendering option enabled for it to work

[simple thistle]

How come I can change the lighting to completely not use Lumen then if I so wished?

[dusky totem]

You mean completely disabling lumen? That's not the same as switching lumen to hw mode

[simple thistle]

r.Lumen.HardwareRayTracing=1
r.Lumen.Reflections.HardwareRayTracing=1
r.ReflectionMethod=2

All of those should force the use of Hardware Ray Tracing

Either way, it would not improve performance over Software Raytracing, the UE5 documentation even says so

[dusky totem]

As I said previously, in order for
r.Lumen.HardwareRayTracing=1 r.Lumen.Reflections.HardwareRayTracing=1
to work, GSC would need to compile the game with "Use Hardware Ray Tracing When Available" rendering option enabled.

Either way, game is so broken right now, it would take at least a year before we can even start any discussions about baked lighting implementation or moving away from nanite towards proper mesh optimization

[idle matrix]

I feel like the best we will see is hardware lumen

[limber wyvern]

I'm new at creating mods, I don't understand how to open the uasset file, I suppose to open it you need a special map file, but where can I find it, please help

[left fox]

This is really awesome. Can you maybe make a mod that make the flashlight attached to him to cast dynamic shadows. I couldn’t do it via console commands.

[heady charm]

yeah it's not in there for some reason. how are people identifying the SIDs? I'll just go poke around myself but I have no idea how people do it in the first place

[steady oar]

wow, you gave me a great idea .. i will just cut out a cardboard screen, glue some plastic in and hang it over my screen when i play

[fringe hornet]

[upbeat coral]

Finally some good fuсking mod

[rough seal]

I thought ZRP was cool for Shadow of Chernobyl, have been playing with it for a while

[upbeat coral]

No

SRP is okay

ZRP is poopoo
The bugs it causes are worse than those it fixes
And it doesnt let you choose a bugfix-only configuration

[rough seal]

Although I had to stop because I got a weird error about "Your GPU doesn't have Pixel Shader 1.1" when I entered Brain Scorcher building in the Radar level.

[rough seal]

I SRP for Shadow of Chernobyl?

[upbeat coral]

No
Its for Clear Sky

[rough seal]

Then it really doesn't matter because ZRP is still better than nothing for SHOC

[upbeat coral]

No

ZRP fixes minor bugs
And causes visual glitches that cause items, corpses and even living enemies to pop in and out of existence

And no, they dont have a hitbox when invisible

I cant even count how many times I died to endgame enemies just suddenly popping into existence and magdumping me in a corridor I cleared already

[fringe hornet]

i hate stalker 2

[upbeat coral]

I hate UE5

[hearty crow]

How bad is it actually? I have a very powerful system but even others with similar setups say it's bad. I'd like to not wait too long, but the consensus is that it will probably be a long time before it's in a more playable state. Then again, others seem to be doing fine with it, though we all have different performance tolerances. Mine, for example, is really low. I can't have an unsmooth experience.

[dusky totem]

Honestly, performance isn't really THE problem right now. There are so many hard and soft locking bugs and random crashes that performance patches should be put on hold (unless they are really simple to implement or don't distract from fixing bugs and crashes)

[chrome fog]

Performance is quite problematic, especially in settlement areas, it's just jarring when your fps tanks and it takes away from the immersion which is why I'm sure most of us are here to play stalker

[dusky totem]

All on low+some .ini tweaks gives me stable 45-60 fps in open world, 70-80 in labs and underground areas, but yeah, 25-40 fps at best in hubs with a lot of NPCs in 1080p. And I'm running gtx 1080, 32gb ram and ryzen 7700x, so def not the best rig in terms of GPU power. But that's on native resolution, so no dlss/fsr/xess or other upscalers and no fsr framegen.

[dusky totem]

Still better than constant crashes in hubs that block you from progressing

[chrome fog]

Im on medium with ini tweaks, native 1080p with a 3060 and ryzen 5 5600X and I'm getting basically the same performance you are

It just seems like optimization was not a concern at all

[idle matrix]

And I have a 3700X and 3070 w/ 16 GB RAM and I'm running on a mix of medium/low with DLSS @ 1440p. Generally getting stable above 60 fps except for the occasional dip

[untold glen]

in CotZ, where can i sell mutants parts? im freedomer btw

[vivid marsh]

this is the modding chat right for all the games?

[upbeat coral]

Yea

[upbeat coral]

Scientists and I think general purpose traders

Like Sid

But better ask @blazing lichen

[untold glen]

im freedomer, i cant go to scientists

but okay, got it

[untold glen]

ohhh, got it

[upbeat coral]

I always forget CotZ uses semi bildo faction relations

Also faction relations change all the time
So soon you may be able to visit scientists

[simple thistle]

This if from using UETools console, it already uses hardware ray tracing

[hot quiver]

Is there any modder in the room? I was wondering if its possible to make a mod to remove the fake blood spray everytime you shoot someone. I dislike it very much

[untold glen]

wait what? is it?

[upbeat coral]

Freedom being enemy of Scientists is bildo thing

From Oblivion Lost

Some dialogues of that made it to SoC due to oversight

And yes
Faction relations change

A LOT

[snow marsh]

Guys, is there any dedicated server for Stalker 2 modding? Thanks

[upbeat coral]

No

[simple thistle]

So the quest "A Sign of Hope" requires you to return to ||Prof Lodochka|| to complete the quest I assume, but the door to ||The science bunker on wild island|| is bugged and won't open, so I used console commands to noclip thru the door, but when I talk to ||Prof Lodochka|| it's not progressing the quest, any ideas?

[upbeat coral]

This is modification channel

[simple thistle]

It's a question regarding using a modification

[vagrant plaza]

We need a mod to tell what faction someone is in and maybe some info on reputation

[sleek walrus]

I've been staying away from stalker 2 mods because I don't wanna break my game when GSC releases their next hotfix/patch. I figure there's gonna be a lot of updates in the first few weeks and I don't wanna lose my progress.

Is this a reasonable concern or is it safe to download mods to change some minor issues now, like bloodsucker health or optimization etc

[upbeat coral]

Ita because you didnt get in using the intended way
You likely skipped a step that would trigger the continuation of the task

[steady oar]

I dont think updates will break your modded safegame ..

[upbeat coral]

A checkpoint so to speak

[simple thistle]

There's a command to open a door, but it requires the door ID, which I don't have handy as it happens 😂

[sleek walrus]

I don't mod often, and I remember people talking about official updates "breaking modded saves" in games like cyberpunk and I wasn't sure how universal this was

And every mod page warns to backup your saves first etc

[simple thistle]

The mods that are for optimization and small changes like that shouldn't break saves, just the mods themselves will become irrelevant

[sleek walrus]

Awesome thank you 💖

[simple thistle]

It's not a bad idea to backup saves though

[steady oar]

imagine it like this .. the mods that are currently out are mostly configuration file changes, which are not touching the game at all. They just change values that the game reads from when calculating certain things. They will not even be represented in the safegame. If, for instance, you would have a mod that would add new questlines, locations and characters and you have already interacted with them, that would be saved in the savegame. But even that would probably not break the savegame if youd remove those mods, except if you save in the added locations.

[patent apex]

hey so does anyone know what value controls durability for armor

in CoP specifically

I was planning to change it to be closer to SoC durability for a no repair run but nothing seems to be related to it

[simple thistle]

How can I get the ID of a specific door with the UETools console?

[sleek walrus]

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much ☺️

hi folks, I'm trying to edit an uasset file via uassetGUI but it throws this error. i extracted the file off packchunk16....utoc file.

[flat roost]

Has anyone found a way to make scripts that run with the game?
And a way to make new 3D models for items?

[blazing lichen]

Scientists will give you the best prices I think you can sell to general traders aswell but it's a big hit price wise

[untold glen]

well, im enemies with ecologists

cuz im freedomer

well, was before i died (i play ironman mode, for sufferring)

[left fox]

I need this to enable the shadow casting for the flashlight if anyone wonder

has anyone managed to edit any .uasset files?

[steady oar]

Im affraid of UE5 ... why? because its Epic Games and they are a soulless company..

Why cant valve make a state of the art engine that everyone uses for their open world games ...

[snow marsh]

4A Engine moment

if only Stalker 2 could've used 4A instead

[left fox]

there are indeed good minds in epic games (casey muratori) for example, however the way they are bound to "innovation" as it is the buzzword of capitalism is not well aligned with what a game is. A game should be a highly performant/optmized and hardware aware peace of software. What's the point for implementing something new in the engine every week where the engine has performance issues that are not addressed since ages

[steady oar]

Its not just that .. their marketing values clearly show that money is king and not the gamer .. and then there is that attrocity forknife that made a whole generation into brainless zombies .. they are like the brainscorcher of the gaming industry

[left fox]

people nowadays buy raytracing and wow effects than games

bad times my friend

[steady oar]

but then again .. im happy that Stalker 2 is out .. im just affraid that Epic will push micro transactions or other shenanigans like that directly through all games that run on their engine as soon as their market share is big enough for it to work ..

[simple thistle]

Not sure that's really possible, sounds like some sorta dystopian novel plot

[left fox]

on the other hand i wonder why so many studios play along.

[left fox]

I don't think the world in its current state is any short of dystopia, this very game is made by a studio in a country during war

[steady oar]

Dude ... look around you .. we have over 200 active conflicts, the 1% of this planet control 99.9% of its resources, China controls the thoughts of factory workers by scaning their brain activity when they pass through a gate in the morning .. musk is workin on neuralink .. is it really that far fetched?

[simple thistle]

Scanning the thoughts of factory workers?

I'm no scientist but that technology doesn't exist brother.....yet at least

[steady oar]

it does ... sadly ...

I'm literarlly afraid of a future prescribed for humankind by the tech capitalists like musk.

on a side note, anyone know how to get the UID of a door in the game? Or how to un-bug the "A Sign of Hope" quest?

did that, can't progress the quest though

I need to speak to a specific person, and speaking to them doesn't progress it

I just speak to them like any other NPC

[hearty crow]

Does anyone here with any tech knowledge believe that the game will eventually run well due to optimizations/patches/mods/drivers?

[simple thistle]

Ofc it will, just a matter of time

[tired surge]

Won't happen, atleast it'll be short lived. Look at unity shenanigans for example of a free market course correcting the market. When big companies get too greedy, upstarts will take a chunk of their market share.

[left fox]

btw if anyone could set that and the one for SpotLight1_GEN_VARIABLE to true, we could have shadow casting flash light

I never have done anything unreal and I'm really not into it, still rather write my own software renderer than using unreal, haha
