[left fox]

that's almost poetic to be frank

[steady oar]

i cant wait for the SDK man ...

waaiiitt a minute .. did i just launch my game and it didnt have to recompile the shaders? .... whaaa

[ivory anchor]

If you can tell me where the saves are then sure

[steady oar]

i just found a save ... sec

[weary skiff]

How do we think console mods will work for stalker 2? Yall think it's gonna be piss poor or actually decent?

[steady oar]

.

[steady oar]

Console mods as in mods for gaming consoles?

if yes, then 🤷‍♂️ .. my last console i owned and really used was the OG Xbox ...

right in front of it, with the according quest state

[weary skiff]

No I meant like when they add the ability to mod the game on consoles

I heard they're going to add the ability to at some point

[steady oar]

keep an eye on the announcments .. but i wouldnt hold my breath until then .. theres a ton of stuff broken atm that has more prio

[weary skiff]

Oh for sure. I'm expecting them probably in the next 6 months to a year

Also does anyone make mods on thar mod io thing anymore for the console version of the trilogy?

[scenic wing]

Any files I can edit to increase carry weight, or any mods?

[steady oar]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/search/

[scenic wing]

Thanks

[raw nexus]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-improved-weapon-pack/downloads/iwp-standalone saved my life

no more ultra hard install iwp is now standalone no need to install

[raw nexus]

i have bug when extract iwp i get headers error

[scenic wing]

Why did you reply to me, I can't help you

[raw nexus]

i dont know

[thick sable]

Any mod out there that adds "Hide HUD" functionality on keybind?

[steady oar]

yes, but it requires a script extender

are we getting master diff in the future? or are these for NPCs only

[ebon edge]

How to repack files with UnrealPak?

[supple nest]

It's the rank of the NPC and the chances of it using Flashlight during combat

the higher rank the NPC has, the less chance it will turn it's flashlight on, harder to spot him

kinda neat

[untold glen]

guys, is there a way to get out of jupiter underground into jupiter in CoTZ?

[noble basalt]

yes

look at the starting location for pripyat-1 mission from original Call of Pripyat. That is the level transition/exit to Jupiter.

be warned though, jupiter underground in CoTZ has insane amount of A-life mutant spawn points. you will encounter like 2 chimeras or those special snork variant (toxic snork) very much

[untold glen]

i got a heck ton of snorks who bounced me alot, thankfully, i dodged them and got into the end of the map (i tried to escape from pripyat, to complete mission for seeing the beard)

[untold glen]

and yes, i survived with like leather jacket, and basic pistol to my name

[blazing lichen]

Cotz is so good I'm glad to see folks playing it

[upbeat coral]

Fr
We need to do these crusades more often

[blazing lichen]

I agree 100%

[limpid tulip]

@upbeat coralHEY

[limpid tulip]

is stalker 2 sovl?

[upbeat coral]

No

[crisp fog]

Just finished Stalker SoC - Memories of the zone playthrough. What do I go for next? do I skip CS and go CoP? I'd like to use some mod that modernizes either one of those 2, whats the best/favourites out there?

[upbeat coral]

No

You play CS and skip CoP

[crisp fog]

wait really?

[rich knot]

No
You play CS and then play CoP

[upbeat coral]

Wrong
You play CS without joining a faction and then you play CS and join a faction

And then maaaybee you play CoP

[crisp fog]

I'm kinda just playing the stories through so I can play S2 and try out anomaly/gamma

[upbeat coral]

Why not try some good mods maybe

[crisp fog]

whats the best mod for CS and CoP to get modern graphics/ gunplay/ and fix bugs

[upbeat coral]

for CS its AXR Engine

[rich knot]

In my opinion CS has pretty good graphics out of the box

[upbeat coral]

For CoP either IX-Ray, Open Xray or Original Weapons Renewal 3 mod (comes with Open Xray)

But I would heavily suggest only using the engines
And only in CoP

[crisp fog]

so just play CS full vanilla?

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

[crisp fog]

or with axr

[upbeat coral]

You can use SRP if you want, it allows bugfix-only configuration

[upbeat coral]

It may improve stability a bit but the default game is pretty good with that, and it isnt that bad looks wise either

I preffer CS full vanilla

[crisp fog]

okay

[weary skiff]

Why skip cop?

[upbeat coral]

Cuz its by far the worst of the trilogy

[weary skiff]

Really? I heard cs was

[upbeat coral]

Only people who got Vist'd say that

[weary skiff]

Is it cuz cop is smaller?

[upbeat coral]

"Boohoo cordon machinegunner too strong game bad boohoo"

[upbeat coral]

No
Cuz its empty

Barebones Alife, big empty maps, no balance, sub par main story

Like yeah
The game was made in six months

But still

[somber oyster]

I just like exploring cop more Than the others for some reason. The actual levels themselves are the aesthetics i dig

[weary skiff]

Maybe. They're all bad in their own special little way.

But tbh I doubt I'll hate cs or cop or 2. I'm pretty easy to please

[simple thistle]

Is there a fix to the flickering textures issue?

[neat dune]

kzantezuken has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[civic pewter]

play Clear Sky with The Warmongers (Mod Vanilla+)

[civic pewter]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-warmongers

[dusky totem]

So the most simple and beneficial mod gets most downloads? So what? Why would 99% of players need localization editor for example? While no shader warm-up is needed by 100% of the players (even though you can just edit .ini)

[supple nest]

https://tenor.com/view/gatekeep-gif-27665722

Modding is a selfless act, it always has been, download number go up feels nice but it is a forbidden fruit, don't taste it

[dusky totem]

Still, easy DP farm

[crisp fog]

I got Clear sky from GoG and it has only english audio. is there mods to change it to russian?

[supple nest]

So what's the problem? There's only one disable shader compilation mod on Stalker 2 so there's no bloat of the same mod, and it helps a ton of people

I think you're not liking the fact that things are valued for their impact and not their effort. Your recent mods might make BPs loadable and become modding standard though, so don't worry you'll get your download points

[rough seal]

How viable would a Third Person Mod be? Or something like in SHOC to just look at the armor and take pictures?

[minor veldt]

I think the point he's making is that it's the same thing being posted everywhere.

[supple nest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor veldt]

You asked what he problem was lol, I gave you the answer. Kinda like Youtube or Tiktok, or people who praise GAMMA. It's super low effort to rename something and post it all over the place.

[supple nest]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimple-craftykit-prawn-no-prawnblem-shrimp-gif-12516237277573455592

[runic perch]

Nope I have this issue as well

[crisp fog]

I isntalled srp for clear sky but im looking to get better ballistics, gun models, crosshair etc whats the best mod to go with ?

^actually i got alternative ballistics there, but I want better models (+ more guns) and better crosshair

would arsenal overhaul be best?

[simple thistle]

Anyone else have an issue with the ambient rain sound cutting in and out randomly?

[ivory anchor]

Yeah I did

Also unfortunately the rain sound cut off entirely when indoors. No muffled ambient noise

[ebon wedge]

More guns and staged reloads would be neat

[vapid pagoda]

Can anyone tell me how to add the mods?

[blazing lichen]

For what game?

[proper nimbus]

It's more like demand

Simple modloader is fire, but we don't have much mods yet

[wary onyx]

Save and reload. There's no real solution yet, only workarounds.

[ruby citrus]

i don't think CS has any vanilla+ mods tbh, just play vanilla 💅

[proven lantern]

Quick question for stalker 2 modding. I have dumpled the uasset from the games utoc package into json, ive modified the file and now need to compile it back to uasset. Im stuck at this step, any help would be appreciated

[ruby citrus]

oh, there's FWR and StCS for weaponpacks i think

[proven lantern]

UAssetGUI doesnt want to accept the json, something about it not being a serializable JSON object

guess ill just download UE and cook my BBQ of mods there

[crisp fog]

HOLY SHIT, Clear sky shooting sucks

makes me not wanna play. point blank spray full ak mag at a military nps and he is just walking away

[rich knot]

Upgrade your guns. And make sure they have a good durability.

[crisp fog]

it was a good durability ak. was so used to just tapping heads in MotZ

[rich knot]

Are you running any accuracy upgrades?

[crisp fog]

I installed srp and also alternatve ballistics

no upgrades on the gun

Im just at the start of the game fighting mily in cordon

[rich knot]

Run the Viper 5 with upgrades until you can afford upgrades on the AK-74/2. The AK-74U/2 kinda sucks so use the full size AK-74/2.

The 9x18 bullets are pretty cheap if you decide to use that upgrade too.

[crisp fog]

I think im gonna try ABR mod

I kinda just want to get through the trillogy in the most enjoyable way and then play some anomaly/gamma until S2 is fixed up

[ruby citrus]

yuuuup

[ruby citrus]

abr is very bad

[crisp fog]

shiiiet

[tawdry igloo]

That was my plan too. I might have messed up downloaded gamma thinking it enhanced the vanilla story. It appears to be it's own thing

[crisp fog]

yeah thats the thing. I suggest trying Memories of the Zone for SoC playthrough. Just finished it and it was good

[tawdry igloo]

I'll look into that. Pretty much looking for the most modern mod that modernizes a ton of the base games mechanics to bring them more in line with modern games

[crisp fog]

this looks pretty good for CoP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwpzq70FxiI

[simple thistle]

Well this is....interesting

[ruby citrus]

just play vanilla my gosh 💅💅

[snow niche]

Gamma is a modpack for a different game, has indeed nothing to do with the base games

[idle matrix]

I highly encourage playing vanilla through at least once (or with just SRP for Clear Sky). Give it a chance and approach it with an open mind and you may come to enjoy the approach each game has, even if the presentation is dated.

[little plover]

I’ve been really loving the Improved Weapon Pack mod for CoC recently, anyone else had a go at that? Also has a CotZ port which makes it that bit more awesome.

[ivory anchor]

I think at least for CoP, there's not entirely a need for vanilla. You have mods like gunslinger that offer updates in a way that's super friendly to the originals

[tawdry igloo]

Think part of my problem is how daunting it is to mod stalker nowadays. Hard to understand what mods do what , gunslinger, true stalker etc all appear to be very similar and no way to tell what's better

[burnt vector]

what site is best for Stalker 2 modding?

[tawdry igloo]

I'm using Nexus

[burnt vector]

cheers

[civic pewter]

Nexus Mod
And for any other S.T.A.L.K.E.R (Include MOBILE?):
Moddb

[wicked raft]

@proven lantern Depending on what asset you dumped good luck importing it to UE

Might be possible using c++ from the little I looked but otherwise there isn't a simple solution yet

[cold galleon]

Um.
I can't find an "unload all weapons" mod for Stalker SoC.
Does anyone have a clue?

[ivory anchor]

Gunslinger mostly just revamps the base game's guns a ton. A few other features but that's the summary

Like remodel/reanimation

[upbeat coral]

So true

People who play with ABR:
"ehhh Clear Sky sucks "

People who play vanilla:
"Clear Sky? More like Peak Sky"

[ivory anchor]

I could barely play Clear Sky before I quit honestly

[neon socket]

Crazy A-Life tweak mod engages around 1:45. Really loving the modding community already.

[simple thistle]

Deep lore, skif without any armor or stalker-like clothing on o.O

[wicked raft]

No tracksuit? Immersion ruined

Should make a mod that replaces all armours with slav tracksuits

[simple thistle]

He's got the tracksuit pants, but no top

[burnt vector]

Holy shit king link me this 🙏

[cold galleon]

Can anyone make an unload all weapons in inventory mod for stalker soc please?

[neon socket]

It is the Roadside Panic mod on Nexusmods

[burnt vector]

God bless bratan

[neon socket]

Go for the normal version of it unless you want to feel like you're barely surviving just traveling to sell shit lol

This was earlier. Had 3 bloodsuckers and two factions at the same time.

[proven lantern]

Yeah there was 0 chance lol. Did you figure out how to recompile/cook the json dumps into uasset? or how to open uasset into UassetGUI?

[burnt vector]

Just knowing this improves the A-life system is enough for me

[wicked raft]

This was my lead but I haven't explored it further https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/creating-new-uasset-files-in-code-cpp/293942

[proven lantern]

Im trying to build cloud data into the missing weathers. Light Rainy and Thundery do not have the same clouds from the rest of the vanilla weather. I found the files in uasset which contain this metadata though.... trying my hand at it

[burnt vector]

I remember designing maps in UE4, how fun and depressing at the same time

Good luck stalkers

[cold galleon]

Question about autumn aurora.
What guns does it add?

Does it add RPK, PKM, SVT-40, etc?

[near scaffold]

Your screen is so wide that I can't even watch the clip lmao

[proper nimbus]

Anyone managed to add custom guis yet?

[runic perch]

It makes a difference?

[hushed hatch]

Let's see if I remember anything about mutants from Stalker Anomaly mod:

Tushkans — kills in swarms; grenades, pistols, just run
Blind dog — bites, runs away, repeat; get on something high and shoot
Cat — like blind dog
Pseudodog — goes straight to you and kills you quickly if not careful; keep distance and shoot
Psi-dog — same as pseudodog but harder
Flesh — constantly runs away; shotgun
Boar — charge, backup, repeat; more shotgun
Bloodsucker — sneaky dude; spam assault rifle and watch grass/pattern
Poltergeist — throws stuff; don't move and shoot with something strong occasionally
Controller — makes your brain smooth; shoot/grenade and hide from eye contact
Burer — gravity trickster; shoot and wait when holds hands up(has shield)
Chimera — jumps and deals massive damage; just use ← and → constantly, shoot when chimera changes directions to jump again
(Lurker — Chimera but weaker)
Pseudogiant — tough as hell; constant shotguns, grenades, RPG/keep high ground and jump when it smashes earth with leg

[neon socket]

Reshade makes this Chef's Kiss

[dense spire]

The memories XD
Waiting on Stalker2 mods lol

[hushed hatch]

👍

I'll probably wait for patches and reinstall game with mods
it's interesting of course but also so massive I can't play other games properly + currently poor optimization

[runic perch]

I agree

[neon socket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryA6WMIRK-g

quality is processing but try that.

[runic perch]

They should've utilized the post processing at its best for lumen

[brittle drift]

what monitor is this? 32:9?

[neon socket]

Yeah. Odyssey G9

[brittle drift]

Looks awesome, thinking about grabbing something like that for this lol

[neon socket]

Best monitor I ever bought. Got it open box for like 50% off.

32:9 is hard to give up once you experience it. The G9 isn't curved too drastically either so not really that hard to get used to.

[brittle drift]

What score. I use to have a super ultrawide but its was capped at 60fps from my laptop (before i built my 4090 rig). Never got to try it for gaming. Looking for an excuse to get an oled monitor and that just looks so worth it.

[runic perch]

This game has some of the best foliage out there

[upbeat coral]

You forgot Pyrogeist and Pseudogeist

Cant blame you for the pseudogesit tho
Ur not the only one who forgot it

The mod did too

Also Psy-Dog makes illusion copies of itself
Thats what differenatiates it from pseudodog

[cold galleon]

Bro's got that prey species screen ratio.

[hushed hatch]

Bro has pigeon vision

[simple thistle]

Question for anyone who's more familiar with Unreal Engine development, how possible would it be for the game to be updated to Unreal 5.5 from 5.1? I would imagine it wouldn't be as difficult as moving from say UE4 to UE5.

I ask because UE5.5 has a lot of optimization for Lumen Lighting in particular which seems to be a large portion of the performance issues with the game

[untold glen]

what is abr even

[noble basalt]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/abr-cs-mod/news/abr-cs-mod-features-and-screenshots

you can check that mod and how it changes its clear sky features wayy more than intended

[upbeat coral]

Slop basically

It changes CS to shit CoD knockoff

[blazing lichen]

Call of the zone 2*

That's fair

[steady stone]

Any mods coming for Series X? would love a full conversion one day like gamma.

[blazing lichen]

you'll need a pc for mods like gamma

[hushed hatch]

sorry wrong channel

[upbeat coral]

Forst we need some new platform
And then wait 4 years so theres enough addons to be stolen

They literally are stolen

[raw nexus]

https://www.curseforge.com/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl

Stalker modding has to come to curseforge beacsue u can easily install mods from the launcher

[upbeat coral]

Without creeiting majority of the contributors
The credits are a joke
Which wouldnt be an issue if
A. The mod had its own original content which would make up majority of the content
Or
B. It wasnt the community around Anomaly who cries the most about crediting people

[raw nexus]

and curseforge handles all the load order issues

[raw nexus]

some random modder : U DIDNT INCLUDE MY NAME IN THE MODPACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blazing lichen]

Kinda goofy ngl

DoctorX based because he didn't steal mods and assets

[upbeat coral]

If you did it "for community" you wouldnt steal from the community

[blazing lichen]

Should you also work for free ?

[upbeat coral]

Taking other peoples work and acting like you made it is stealing

[blazing lichen]

^

Console tier energy in this chat lol

[upbeat coral]

Again
Taking others work is okay if your original content makes up majority of the stuff thats modified compared to the original

[raw nexus]

because evryone uses nexus if u want to download a modpack u need to install every mod manually (if u dont u need to pay)

[upbeat coral]

But if its made solely from stolen stuff and doesnt even credit people

[blazing lichen]

Atleast the alpha chad doesn't pretend he's not stealing lol others won't even own it

[upbeat coral]

Lmao
Have you seen Anomaly credits?
They credited like 3 things while stealing 40 addons

[blazing lichen]

[raw nexus]

true

the most aggresive guy is the modder who made the Repack series

[blazing lichen]

If you're going to use people's work atleast give proper credits

[raw nexus]

he spawns in when someone didnt credit his mod

[raw nexus]

no

[blazing lichen]

Name checks out

[fringe hornet]

Yes

[noble basalt]

insert some demosfen quotes

[valid imp]

Yeah because when I download mods the first thing I’m doing is going through the list of names to see who contributed

[fringe hornet]

So close minded attitude

Well, you sound czech křižák, hope Babiš steals your shit without crediting you, oh wait

No I am from slovakia and know who Babiš was before you let that shit into politics

[noble basalt]

well thats random af

[blazing lichen]

anomaly is super mid i wish people played quality

[fringe hornet]

Imagine making something and then soneone steals it, zero credit, zero respect towards your work

Lmao imagine trying to diss me by using literally 200 year old meme

[blazing lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-funny-laugh-gif-11964564

99% of them

[valid imp]

I think they are both great, they are what kept the interest alive in stalker for all these years imo

[blazing lichen]

call of the zone, call of chernobyl, road to the north etc

[fringe hornet]

Its clear this guy begs for attention in channel not suitable for it, can we moderate ? @sleek sandal

[upbeat coral]

Demosfen at least admits to stealing instead of acting like he has some sort of moral highground

[blazing lichen]

we are talking about mods

[fringe hornet]

I am talking about Krizak

[blazing lichen]

oh oops

sorry

[sleek sandal]

Who

[upbeat coral]

Shoving a cactus up my ass would be better than gamma

[fringe hornet]

@neon socket

[blazing lichen]

i prefer stalker content not tarkov content tbh

[upbeat coral]

Tarkov should be added to the list of naughty words you ger Wolf'd for

[blazing lichen]

fr tbh

[noble basalt]

very true

[upbeat coral]

And A-Life as well while we are at it

Because I said so

And I have to say
I agree with myself

So thats 2 votes already

[fringe hornet]

[blazing lichen]

Reason: Bad word usage

[fringe hornet]

Huh

[blazing lichen]

idk about that lol on master combat is deadly

it plays like the trilogy

[upbeat coral]

Yeah but when was stalker about that?

[fringe hornet]

I just hope the ue build gsc uses wont have modding limitations, not sure if we can load everything through lua

Especially when its original author who posted them

[blazing lichen]

alot of gamma mechs are tedious time consumers

[fringe hornet]

[upbeat coral]

Couldnt be goldsphere
cough cough

[blazing lichen]

thats fair tbh

[upbeat coral]

Linear my ass

It has multiple story branches

While gamma has exactly ZERO

[blazing lichen]

stalker 2 isnt linear at all

you have to replay the game multiple times to see all the endings

did you play the trilogy ?

[upbeat coral]

You can go back and forth however you want

[sleek sandal]

Idk why bros saying this guy is rage baiting he seems to be chillin to me

[upbeat coral]

God I swear "linearity" is nothing more than a buzzword nowadays

[blazing lichen]

i think they though chaos was about to happen but everything is fine

[upbeat coral]

Openworld is by definition not linear

[sleek sandal]

Lmao

[blazing lichen]

lol

[upbeat coral]

Take that back

[sleek sandal]

Well carry on lads I’m back to work

[upbeat coral]

Im no fuсking hungarian

[blazing lichen]

take care jack

it just edit actor.ltx camera height to lower value while low crouching

[tawdry igloo]

Anyone got a recommendation for good single player non sandbox mod for COP. I want to play a really overhauled campaign.

win rar works for stalker mods extract

im currently trying to install iwp mod but my 7zip has a error with the mod

reinstall

its like only 10kb like every stalker 2 mod

[prisma vessel]

I just want to hear some molchat doma in game man

[raw nexus]

same

i love doomer russian music

it fits stalker 2 atmosphere and vibe

[rich knot]

Try extracting it using the Windows default.

[prisma vessel]

“Don’t tell mama I’m in Chechnya” is good too

[raw nexus]

ok ty im currently reinstalling the mod maybe the install was false

[rich knot]

Did you get it from this?

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

[raw nexus]

the bist Ridio MOt IS SkibID TOIlEt Mot for stilkr 2

[raw nexus]

yes

standalone way better than the nightmare install

[rich knot]

It should be fine then. I had the same problem a couple days ago with 7zip and using the default extraction tool on windows worked.

[rich knot]

It might work for you too

[raw nexus]

nice but there is a risk of the windows extraction tool corrupting some files wich might break the game (im paranoid ik)

[rich knot]

Winrar?

[raw nexus]

default windows extraction

[rich knot]

No I mean try winrar then I guess

[raw nexus]

ok i will try

[austere girder]

not sure

[raw nexus]

download almost finish 1 minute

[austere girder]

Will need to ask our team

[rich knot]

But I have had no problems with default Windows. You can create 2 instances with copy and pasting.

[raw nexus]

ok i will compare the game file sizes after extracting with win rar and default windows

[rich knot]

It just seems like more effort to me

But I am a bit lazy so...

[raw nexus]

im happy if it works

because every mod i try crash

gamma crash efp crash

[rich knot]

But is probably under stating it

[raw nexus]

win rar file size is a little larger than windows

[rich knot]

So the extraction with winrar worked

[raw nexus]

yes

i very happy now i can finally play iwp

[rich knot]

Have fun playing it

[raw nexus]

thank you very much stalker

[austere girder]

So, we aren't ready to go into more details atm, expect a major announce on mod support a bit later

[austere girder]

It is so cool to see that people are so ready to support our games. Only positive, shows the love of community

guys, is there any point in lighting up/extinguishing fireplaces in CoTZ?

[noble basalt]

light detection maybe (player actor detection is affected by surrounding lights)

but i rarely got that tricks in actual action

[untold glen]

oh, so i can teven cook meet with it?

[noble basalt]

by default no, but there is an addon in addon section for that

[untold glen]

wdym by "addon section"

[rich knot]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone/addons

[noble basalt]

like this item addon

legit lowest setting of cotz ("dx8" setting) can't even extinguish it due to lack of r2 lighting

[untold glen]

wait i have that item tho-

and i def didnt install any addons

i mean, i have portable wood kitchen

[noble basalt]

that means you have downloaded the latest version of community update which is integrated to the latest cotz install

[untold glen]

ohh, i downloaded 1.2

Make a modpack, and upload it to nexusmods like all the cool kids do 🙂

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen RTTZ is so based
Im doing this mission with friendly bandoot
Cutscene plays
Random stalker (not quest related) runs to us
Cutscene ends
My bandoot does a 180 and just oneshots the stalker with knife

[random hill]

Then why don’t you post it on moddb or nexus? Don’t get me wrong, but this is so shady

@blazing lichen some more unique artifact peakness

dammit

the heck is even mkv

[rich knot]

It is probably an image format that accompanies the .sav file

[upbeat coral]

[rich knot]

Lemme check real quick

Oh I might have been confusing mkv with .dds

[upbeat coral]

Anyways
The video showcases a "Soldiering Iron" artifact
Which lets SMGs do extra damage with some cool effects

[blazing lichen]

That was peak

I gotta give this mod a try

[upbeat coral]

You have to

Bestest mod

I love Jekana mods because all these various artifacts and unique guns make you use type of firearm you would normally ditch really soon into a playthrough

[rich knot]

Oh it's a video. I just assumed since you were sending the files in the modifications channel you were sending sav files.

[upbeat coral]

Double barrel shotgun that has extra damage against humanoid mutants (oneshots bloodsuckers and is pretty much the only effective gun against burers)
Yes please
Tokarev that makes all ammo explode on impact
Yes please
Double barrel shotgun that deals extra damage with slugs (Jekan sure loves double barrel shotguns)
Yes please

[upbeat coral]

If anyone would like to take a look at the weather transitions from my Dynamic Weather Mod :3

Light Rainy and Thundery, which are the weathers which were cut from the main game, are in ther. But you will notice they are buggy as they dont have cloud data

[runic perch]

Reshade are mods

[crisp fog]

just finished clear sky. Jeez louise that was a slog, worst gunplay ever. I hated the whole game just becuase the shooting was such a let down. On to CALL OF PRIPYATT!!!!

what mods am I getting?

[ivory anchor]

Gunslinger at a minimum

If you want the hardcore experience, MISERY is really good

It's not like anomaly. It's still the base game story and everything, it's just way harder with more features

[crisp fog]

Im gonna get gunslinger + visual mods

do u recomend using reshade ?

[ebon tusk]

First Playthru
no mods

[crisp fog]

i want modsssssssssssss

[ebon tusk]

CoP is completely playable withotu needing any mods

[crisp fog]

I played through it back in like 2014

vanilla

[ebon tusk]

CGIM2 or STCOP

[crisp fog]

i want mods to make it look good and have better gun play + new guns

[neat dune]

pskv has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dark badge]

bruh

[rich knot]

StCoP is a gunpack

[dark badge]

can i not say f word

[rich knot]

You can't

[dark badge]

🤷

i was gonna ask if it was feasible to remove the blood mist that occurs whenever you shoot ppl rn? all the mods rn seem to edit the same couple cfgs and inis so not sure if theres a way to remove that mist effect exclusively without messing anything up

[ivory anchor]

Perfectly fine to play with mods

Gunslinger is very true to vanilla. It just redoes the guns, and a handful of other immersive features

I don't get the purism honestly

[dark badge]

the purism feels like a stalker thing mostly lol you don't see people posturing about playing skyrim thru unmodded

but hey maybe i just dont play enough skyrim

[crisp fog]

yeah every time i ask anywhere - people just say vanilla. but its an old game, like i dont want to play the old shit anymore

[dark badge]

its the gamma crowd and i love gamma

[ivory anchor]

It just seems like the reaction to people who were introduced by anomaly

[dark badge]

yea exactly it imo

hur dur my version is wayyyy harder you need to play it this way or you just dont get stalker bro

and im saying those people suck as someone who prefers gamma to any other modpack

[ivory anchor]

I maybe understand not basing your whole view of the trilogy on anomaly, but I don't take issue with people playing vanilla or modded

[ivory anchor]

Vanilla gunplay isn't great like you learned from CS

[untold path]

Tried playing Misery once. Once. Got filtered by the hog.

[ebon tusk]

Gunslinger completely changes the feel and gameplay of COP while changing 2 quests along the way, it is by no means, true to vanilla

[ivory anchor]

It's very close

[ebon tusk]

its very damn far, for something so close

[crisp fog]

I played SoC with Motz and that was decent, I enjoyed that. But for CoP i want even better guns and better graphics

[ivory anchor]

Well you do you I guess

[ebon tusk]

so much so that it runs counter to the games genre

[ivory anchor]

There's The Armed Zone also if you want more guns

[dark badge]

im just excited for official modding tools, have they confirmed anything like that yet? current modding seems very rudiamentary overall

[ivory anchor]

They have but it's not immediately on release

[dark badge]

ye ofc ofc

[ebon tusk]

yes, the SDK will be relased after some time

[dark badge]

im really just exited for a-life fixes and crash fixes, mods can do everything else i want to see

[ebon tusk]

in the future

[dark badge]

👍

[ivory anchor]

I figure they're sweating trying to fix A life, gamebreaking bugs, and optimization

[ebon tusk]

here

https://youtu.be/_1msvzkT1d8?si=91rP8Cj_9FK-lUL0

[dark badge]

yeah id imagine a-life taking a back seat is because of the performance issues

[dark badge]

oh sweet i hadnt seen this, will watch it in full now ty

both in that they have bigger fish to fry and spawning that many entities in a game already buckling under its own weight is going to cause further issues on release

[civic pewter]

¿Open X-Ray + Gunslinger?

[tawdry igloo]

Yup I'm thinking they are doing the same thing then again I feel like content is missing or unfinished like no binos, no 9x19 pistols, no akm. Those feel like they didn't get to finish assets

[dark badge]

is there not an optic in the starting village that says its fitted for an skm

akm *

[ivory anchor]

We'll see I guess. Someone found some lines for night vision in the files but obviously we don't have them

There's probably a lot of stuff that needs fixing

[ebon tusk]

very much early proof of concept alpha, not fit for public playing

[dark badge]

or is it because of silly gun names

[ebon tusk]

wdym no AKM?

what makes you think it was planned for the game?

[ivory anchor]

tbh you'd think it based on 7.62x39 being in game

[tawdry igloo]

7.62x39 ammo

[ebon tusk]

7.62x39 is used by the LMG

[ivory anchor]

Nobody jumps to RPD or Malyuk when you mention 7,62x39

[ebon tusk]

its only used by the LMG

[ivory anchor]

They think AK

or SKS

[ebon tusk]

and?

[ivory anchor]

.

[ebon tusk]

I dont see why this makes it a sureshot that it would be in the game

[ivory anchor]

I don't know why you put arguments into our mouths

[ebon tusk]

especially because the AKM would be a simple retexture of the AK74 that is already in the game

[ebon tusk]

you said you thought it was cut right

[dark badge]

ak74 is 5.45 no?

[ivory anchor]

Someone else probably

Wouldn't surprise me if they had some plan for it though

[ivory anchor]

Yes

[ebon tusk]

yes

[dark badge]

eh when i see 7.62 first thing that comes to mind is 47 or akm, i see how ppl would be surprised at it not being in the game

but more of a nitpick than anything else

idrc

[ivory anchor]

It's just kinda niche guns in 7.62x39 right now

[ebon tusk]

it was gibonez, I just failed to quote the right person

[dark badge]

is 7.62 rare or super punchy rn? i could see it being a balancing thing if they want that caliber for mutant hunting or sum

[ivory anchor]

tbh until a few months ago, I forgot the RPD existed and was x39 instead of x54R

[dark badge]

i play modded asf so idk what the basegame feels like rlly

[ivory anchor]

Which 7.62

[neon socket]

Another clip of Roadside Panic mod kicking in. Things get spicey around 1:15 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvYA09JUr84

[dark badge]

wait is there .54 too

[ivory anchor]

There's x51, x39, and x54R

[ebon tusk]

yes

[dark badge]

damnn

[ebon tusk]

7.62x54 is for snipers

[dark badge]

gotta find me a mosin or svd or sum

[ebon tusk]

there aint a mosin

[dark badge]

unfort

mods will fix all

[ivory anchor]

I think there's a PKP in game if I remember right, that'd be 54R as well

[dark badge]

i been taking it mega slow as i dont rlly wanna get too far until memory issues are resolved or at least more stable

[ebon tusk]

the LMG in CS and CoP are in 54R since there is no 39 in the OG games

[dark badge]

i suspect it has smth to do with savefiles as my commited ram goes up more and more every time i reload

[ivory anchor]

I just checked, there's a PKP in STALKER 2

[dark badge]

bug reports are on website exclusively or?

[ivory anchor]

Basically yeah

[dark badge]

ill do that there then

[ivory anchor]

I dropped the game until they fix A life mainly

[blazing lichen]

I've paused completely tbh I heard dome folks are getting hard locked out of story

[dark badge]

yeah im not even outside the main area yet

[ivory anchor]

STALKER without A-Life is just reskinned far cry

[dark badge]

starting area i mean

[ivory anchor]

Wanna make sure I properly enjoy the first playthrough. I already got stuck at a gamebreaking bug anyway

[blazing lichen]

Play call of the zone in the meantime it's solid trilogy feel imo

[ivory anchor]

I've already played quite a few mods

I'm tempted to play some anomaly again

[dark badge]

i should pick gamma back up

[blazing lichen]

I gotta try some of the other mods

[ebon tusk]

you can enable the A-Life system that was left in the files, the system they have rn is just replacement bc the other is unoptimized (theres a mod that unlocks it if I recall, and it drops your FPS by 30-40 fps in some cases if I recall)

[ivory anchor]

I usually try ironman runs in EFP and then die immediately because my first move is fighting Monolith in Limansk

[ivory anchor]

Yeah I'm just waiting on a lot of fixes at the moment

[blazing lichen]

Based honestly

I love fighting in limansk

[ivory anchor]

I hope optimization improves significantly. I exceed the high requirements, but am stuck playing medium without frame gen

[ivory anchor]

Running back and forth with monolith gear is my quick way to get rich

[dark badge]

i can pull 70 w/o framgen on epic but doesnt feel like 70, any other settings will improve my frames marginally but nothing really feels "good" without input delay and shit

also seems like i crash whenever i load in an area without a fresh launch, very frustrating

optimization mod and framegen makes performance great tho, just lots of pop in (which i think is still prevalent in the main game anywho so 🤷)

[ivory anchor]

I am somewhere between 50-100 outside of NPC hubs

Then it drops to 40

[dark badge]

ye same here no matter what config

[ivory anchor]

My friend runs epic on the almost same build, he just has a better CPU

NPC hubs still destroy his FPS though

[crisp fog]

Gonna try Openxray gunslinger for CoP. Anyone play iy?

it*

[night ridge]

Not gunslinger, but I’ve been playing my first playthrough of CoP with STCOP and GSWR which I heard is comparable to gunslinger. Gun names are sometimes a little bugged for me cause some of them display their file name instead of an actual gun name, idk if that’s just a me thing or something wrong with one of the mods, but other than that it’s been awesome. I heard OpenXray gunslinger is still in alpha, is that wrong now?

[novel grove]

maybe try something like this? https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/7?tab=posts&BH=1

[stray hornet]

Maybe it will be useful for those struggling with FPS

I was getting 80-90 FPS in open world on i9 and 4090 with Frame Gen enabled and Essential FPS mod from Nexus

I did next steps:

1. Disabled Frame cap in Nvidia control panel
2. Disabled vsync (using gsync)
3. Changed the Exe file settings - open with admin rights and disable Fullscreen optimization

After these changes FPS rocketed to 110-120 on next load..

Hope this can help someone.

Is there any way to get around the bug with "The Hornet's Nest" quest where the ||Zalissya|| base camp will always get wiped out? It seems like I can't get a certain distance away without it happening

[rough seal]

Apparently a fix is coming on this week's patch.

[simple thistle]

Well currently I can't leave the town like at all or do anything 😂

[rough seal]

If I were you, I would reload a save where you are outside the town before the radio distress calls triggered, just to guarantee that when the fixes comes, the game has no trouble loading things correctly.

[simple thistle]

good point, man I wanna keep the R700, PKP, and MK14 I found tho lol

[rough seal]

You can find them later, most likely in the same places, lol.

[simple thistle]

If I can't find them after the patch I will find you

[rough seal]

I don't have any of these either, I use the Forca-221 and the Monolith Shotgun. Will probably only replace them with the Zharod and the Auto-Shotgun whose name I forgot.

[simple thistle]

idk what the names in the game are, I have a mod that replaces the names with the irl gun names

[rough seal]

Me too. I was trying to remember for your benefit.

I was talking about the Malyuk to replace the Fort-221(which is it's actual IRL name because it's a licensed Ukrainian version of the Tavor)

big oof

[tawdry igloo]

Man the UI and presentation of true stalker is fantastic, but the game doesnt feel alive for some reason. Of all the stalker mods true stalker feels the most modern.

[ebon tusk]

True Stalker doesnt have A-Life

[tawdry igloo]

daam A-life is such a cool feature, almost what makes stalker unique

[idle matrix]

One of the things anyway. It is tricky to work with though

[ebon tusk]

the more scripted you want your Stalker to be the less A-Life you can afford for it to have, at least in Xray (if I am talking about this I will be talkking about Xray)
since the engine lacks a lot of stuff to dynamically script quests (not cyclics but scripted ones) thus NPCs could just ruin that scripting if they were unshackled
the best way to demonstrate this is to upgrade the field of view the mutants have in CoP and let them spawn everywhere, countless NPCs that are bound to quests will be killed

True Stalker is truly, the Trip A version of a Stalker Mod, completely scripted, thus, it can have no A-Life

[novel grove]

i'd say it looks pretty dang good for COP

[crisp fog]

you don't think it looks a bit jagged and rough in parts? did you look at it in full size?

am i expecting too much

[novel grove]

yeah it looks a bit gritty, even the gun model. is anti-aliasing all the way up?

[crisp fog]

it's also a lot more noticeble in game when it all moving from the wind, screenshots aren't even half as bad

I just want a beautiful game 😦

[idle matrix]

Well it is an updated engine, but it is still a fairly old game

It does look weird though

I think it's still in alpha right?

[novel grove]

play stalker 2 😉

only kidding, i just restarted a play of COP and i forgot how ugly the vanilla is (and i thought the same when it was released in 2009)

i want to play it vanilla, but the grass load in distance is abysmal on these big open maps.

[idle matrix]

CS is the prettiest of the three

Out of the box at least

[novel grove]

i remember them advertising the "god ray" tech for its release. it's weird that i only played this once. but i remember being disapointed when it released compared to SHOC. i must have bought it physical since i don't have it on steam. any good "vanilla+" mods you would reccomend?

[idle matrix]

Hmm. CS has the least mods of the three. I know there are a couple overhauls out there but haven't played them. There's always SRP which has a base install that is just bug fixes plus optional add-ons to tweak the game if you prefer

[grave meadow]

Is there supposed to be something to loot here ? It's located in the mill on the "True Stalker" mod

[idle matrix]

I know of LFO and Dead Sky but have not tried either and the latter is only in alpha release

[crisp fog]

Yeah it is

The thing is I want to play through CoP with mods is because I got a good PC so I'm trying to get it to looklike some people have it on youtube with all the effects but story of CoP. I have stalker 2, but waiting for a few updates on that

[novel grove]

most of those people are probably playing gamma

[ebon tusk]

prob just use CGIM2

[harsh juniper]

For RadioPhobia 3 mod pack for SoC I joined duty, are there any missions for them I need to follow? Or is the last mission of giving Krylov the grenade launcher before you join the only story for them?

[rustic ocean]

any ogsr ga player here?

[ebon tusk]

no, why play the inferior version

[rustic ocean]

aw

[tawdry igloo]

Might be wrong but don't think stashes have loot until you get told the location by a pda or npc

Same boat. There's a new mod think released this mod that might be what we are looking for.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009

If that doesn't scratch my itch I'll try misery

[novel grove]

Wow, just adding atmosphere and grass draw distance increase breathed new life into COP while keeping vanilla feel

[magic sinew]

will mods for stalker 2 disable steam achievments? does anybody know?

Hi! Just so I make sure im doing it right, for manual installs I just need to place the .pak file in the .paks folder correct? i tried one to stop the emission crashes but they still crash my game

[blissful raven]

Hey so is anyone working on a portable radio mod so we can listen to the radio portably

[raw nexus]

gunslinger??????

[raw nexus]

no

[blissful raven]

It’s a animation mod for C.O.P

[upbeat coral]

Maybe
If so, then it only spawns once you unlock the coordinates

[raw nexus]

ik but its bugged my dream is to play trough it without crashes

some guns have missing textures

[crisp fog]

Yeah on the openxray engine

[raw nexus]

worst mod

its unplayable if u want to play story

[grave meadow]

hmm, so it's how it works, thanks

[crisp fog]

gun slinger is? what do you suggest for CoP I want good gunplay + guns and good graphics and atmosphere.

[upbeat coral]

In that case..

Dont play CoP

Play Clear Sky

[crisp fog]

I just completed clear sky and hated it lol

[upbeat coral]

Replay

NOW

[crisp fog]

I think i rather cut myself with a rust screwdriver

[upbeat coral]

I sentence you to 500 hours of publically beneficial Clear Sky gameplay

[crisp fog]

hahaha

[upbeat coral]

That wasnt a joke

[crisp fog]

I don't agree to said punishment

[rich knot]

It isn't a punishment tho

[upbeat coral]

True

[novel grove]

how long is COP story? haven't done it through since '09 . started replaying this AM and am surprised how quickly i got to Jupiter

[upbeat coral]

10-15 hours
And like 4 if you speedrun

[woeful marsh]

Limansk chase was goated

[drifting moat]

Got a cool background via the steam artifact cards of Stalker 2. I think its neat

I realize this is the wrong place for this lol

[dusky totem]

CoP is really short, unless you 100% it. Even completing all of the quests and becoming perfect killing machine in running Exo wielding Gauss+RP-74 takes maybe ~30 hours if you don't know anything about the game and take your time exploring locations

[little plover]

Took me about 3 hours alone just trying to keep all the military dudes alive during the monolith ambush near the end since they kept grenading themselves or died to 2 bullets.

[dusky totem]

That's another problem, keeping AI alive is pure pain, gotta rush and kill all enemies ASAP during every quest with AI "helpers"

[simple thistle]

Anyone got ideas on what I should be tweaking to reduce the shimmering/flickering of the lighting? Been messing with the r.Lumen console variables and can't get it to go away

Maybe?

[simple thistle]

I'll give it a try, forgot that u can use third party plugins for stuff like that lol

Well technically it works.....at the cost of about 30 fps

The zone claims another...

[simple thistle]

Weird cuz the comments on that mod are full of people saying it increased their fps by that much

[runic perch]

Any good a life mods?

[vapid pagoda]

Does anyone know how to spawn ammo with the console?

[pallid bluff]

I’ve installed A-life extended but it’s turned the ai into weak trash pushovers, I’m on veteran and it takes 100 rounds to kill me at the start of the game

[ivory anchor]

Whatever spawn command your console has + ammo ID

[ivory anchor]

I don't like all those combo mods because inevitably it includes some shit I just don't want

[vapid pagoda]

i couldnt figure out the spawn command but i got it now finally!

[pallid bluff]

Do you know if it’s safe to uninstall said combo and continue with that save with different mods for these things

[ivory anchor]

I don't know, only one way to find out

Replay with The Warmongers Mod

[simple thistle]

Is there any variables or console commands I can use to view current standing with certain factions/traders?

[simple thistle]

Or does anyone know how to view the data in save game files? I found a tool for editing .sav files for Unreal Engine, but it only works with unencrypted save files, which I take it Stalker's save files are encrypted because the program crashes upon trying to open one

[ripe crown]

Having issue with going into god mode with UETools. The correct command should be “XSetGodMode true” right?

[blazing lichen]

OWA?

[young fable]

stuff i made

EFT AK74M classic recolored and MW19 PM

and hand from bunch of THAP

[dusky totem]

Unless they entirely cut out debug menu for release version, I think modders will find it in time, maybe devs will unlock it with sdk release.

[simple thistle]

I'm running with no upscaling, just DLAA

God is that you?

[ruby citrus]

turn off DLAA too

[cold isle]

yeah i wanna do that

but then i cant run it

[simple thistle]

That won't fix the light shimmering/flickering

[jolly viper]

Is there a mod for S2 that replaces the flashlight with the old stalker tunnel vision flashlight? I noticed that in S2 the flashlight just kinda illuminates all directions and makes the game less scary

[blazing lichen]

Damn looking good

[young fable]

stalker 2 at home:

[tawdry igloo]

Gonna sound silly but what's the default home for stalker mods? Moddb or Nexus

[blazing lichen]

not silly but for trilogy and the standalone mods its modbd but it appears nexus is the go place for stalker 2 mods

Not to my knowledge but that's a good mod idea. I figure someone could hop into UE and try to change some values around to make the flashlight less powerful

I remember doing a similar thing with toggle lighting once but now i am certain i don't know how to do it

[blazing lichen]

mercs and clearsky declared a cease in cotz itll be interesting to see how long itll last this time

Thank you.

i tried setting a preset using a flashlight customizer mod

however the game adjusts the flashlight automatically based on what you look at which is weird as hell

[burnt vector]

Now that IS wierd i've never seen that before

[proven lantern]

https://github.com/Felicheat/STALKER2_Modding/tree/master/zz_DynamicWeatherAssets_P/Stalker2/Content/light/Curves

Anyone want to somehow try compiling these files into uassets? These might be the key to fixing the missing weather's into the game

Yes and the original Light Rainy and Thundery weather's (the missing/removed weathers from the base game) only have 1 variable for the whole 24 hours

I think adding these into the game might actually give clouds and light data to the missing weathers and might make it so I can reenable them into the game

I have no idea and it's a hunch though. I know nothing of UE assets

[pure ore]

does anyone know good mod overhauls for stalker clear sky or call of pripyat, similiar to radiophobia 3

[raw nexus]

clear sky lfo mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-cs-last-fallout-overhaul-combo-mod

[pure ore]

thanks!

[tawdry igloo]

Few minutes ago I would have said misery but just installed it and it appears to be it's own game

[pure ore]

hoping it can get close to how good radiophobia 3 is

[pure ore]

ive tried misery is a little too dated for me now

been spoiled by more modern mods lol

[tawdry igloo]

Yeah I had not realized it came out almost 10 years ago

[pure ore]

Damn good mod for the time though

Remember trying to play it on my crappy laptop like 6 years ago now

[civic pewter]

Rams Renewal Mod (Last Fallout Overhaul its a reinvention, LFO adds 6 levels/maps or more)
The Warmongers
GSWR-GSWR Wasted Sky

[raw nexus]

will look better than radiophobia 3 or similiar i played trough it 50% no issues

[pure ore]

Hope so, have you played radiphobia recently though? Theres been a TON of work its honestly quite amazing now

[pure ore]

Thanks will check all these out

[raw nexus]

no too hard and bugs (the beggining is very harsh

[pure ore]

Yeah thr beginning is difficult although the zoom mod that is also on gamma got added and its a lot more bearable now

[raw nexus]

nice but still having to fight military and mutants without guns sucks radiophobia 3 still worse than gamma early game

[pure ore]

You get a gun before needing to fight anyone

[raw nexus]

no

mutants

u dont need to fight but they chase you

without a gun ur cooked

[pure ore]

Its not explained properly but if you quickly run to where to get the first artifact and bring that back youll get a gun before running into any mutants

At least I did

[proven lantern]

They are. The files existed before, and so as all their references. The only missing part was their contents

Anyways, won't know until I try it. Even if it doesn't work, I at least learned how to cook uassets

I want to try this plugin in UE https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/dataconfig-json-asset-import-json-files-into-unreal-engine-as-dataasset/211521

But can't until I get back from Christmas Market with my colleagues 🎄

I'm just filled with Christmas hope that this could work

[harsh juniper]

Any sugestions for mod packs for SCS?

[hybrid robin]

can somebody tell me what this mod is?

[untold glen]

guys how to cook in CoTZ

[cold galleon]

I want to change the textures for a weapon in stalker soc.
Maybe I'll put a specific camo on an armour.
You know, just changing the paint on a gun or armour like I do in IL-2. Like this video:
https://youtu.be/PXJst7yFsRk?si=04B2PDtcCGtrrc6a
Or
https://youtu.be/ldqPWVPUXxU?si=ELK5s2HtvkZ3f4bv
Can I do the exact things in STALKER SoC?

[crisp fog]

Playing Call of Pripyat Gunslinger atm, and my frames go to shit after like 30 mins in game. Anyone know how to fix this or what setting to change?

[blazing lichen]

There is no cooking in cotz that's like gamma stuff

[rich knot]

You should see goldsphere OGSE cooking

[blazing lichen]

There's cooking?

I'm not into the idea of it tbh it wasn't in the trilogy

[rich knot]

There is a video of a guy cooking that appears after you select what you want to cook

And then you get the food

[echo kiln]

can someone help me install gunslinger for CoP?

[untold glen]

theres cooking pot and charcoal

[ebon tusk]

unpack your files (a guide for this is in the pings) and locate the textures for what you wanna modify, and change them
paint over em and such, just remember to save your work in a uncompressed format untily you export to dds again
when youre done, create a gamedata folder and recreate the folder topology from the unpacked folder you took the texture from and place the new texture there

[cold galleon]

I'm already playing with an overhaul mod, so all of them are completely accessible.
I see all the guns in the texture file of the mod.
I was asking about the steps of doing it.

[ebon tusk]

find the texture, load it in a image editor, directly play with the image, export when youre done in .dds, overwrite the same file

[cold galleon]

So, basically just like those in Il-2 1946, right?

[ebon tusk]

I dont get what you mean

[cold galleon]

The process of painting.
Is it like this?

https://youtu.be/ldqPWVPUXxU?si=ELK5s2HtvkZ3f4bv

[little plover]

Not sure if it’s CotZ that does it or because I’m playing CoC with IWP mod but you can cook on there by pressing F at a campfire.

[untold glen]

no it just turns campfire on for me

[ebon tusk]

no, you directly edit the image, you can use many layers but when youre exporting a texture make sure to merge all textures you want visible as the dds version stalker supports only allows for 1 layer

you just, paint directly on it, as if youre painting on paint, not much to it

[little plover]

Then it probably isn’t CotZ that mods that in, pretty sure CotZ is mainly just task changes and storyline.

[untold glen]

well, idk, i just downloaded CoTZ 1.2 from modDB

[noble basalt]

1. Find and convert the wpn_ak74u.dds to png format (use converter and stuff)

2. Edit the png using any image editor app (even ms paint can do that)

3. Make sure the aspect ratio is the same and then convert it back to dds format

4. Done

can even edit any texture in the gameworld as long as you know which file name is it in .dds

[noble basalt]

like i said man, there is no "cooking using campfire" stuff in Call of the Zone.

Only using the portable stove item to cook meat.

[cold galleon]

Oh.
Ok.
Thamks.

[noble basalt]

"Cooking meat using Campfire" Originally is from call of chernobyl custom addon pack by stason i believe

but thats back in 2018-ish

[cold galleon]

I'm so going to paint one in gaudy gold
:3

[flat roost]

Does anyone know how to spawn an NPC/start a dialogue by using an item in stalker2? I decided to create a manual teleporter. It should work rather "crutchy" - when activated, create an invisible NPC-guide and start a dialogue with him

[cold galleon]

Does anyone know how this go prone mod works?
https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/prone-mod-for-soc-player-icon
Which values are changed to make the player closer to the ground?
I don't want to use this mod as it changes parameters that break another mod I'm using.
Besides.
There doesn't seem to be a mod that lets you go prone in clear sky or call of pripyat and I want to change the aforementioned parameters in those games too.

[supple moss]

just installed AA2.1 for my second playthrough, cant find my config file for zrp, does AA overwrite zrp? Do I need to install zrp again?

nvm i see it has zrp built in, but no config?

[ebon tusk]

all this mod does is change the texture for the low crouch state to that of a prone state

[ebon tusk]

you should not be installing AA with other mods
AA should be installed in a vanilla install

wipe your install and reinstall in a vanilla SOC

[supple moss]

Ahh thank you, gonna have to go back and edit all my aim in fovs again

So does AA not come with a configurer like zrp does? Was wanting to edit some things like dmg and sprint speed.

[gray wedge]

does someone have a mod packs for clear sky?

[noble basalt]

like a standalone or something

[cold galleon]

No.
I installed it.
It also lowers the camera a lot.
Almost level with the ground.

[noble basalt]

honestly just look at moddb section since its not that much modpack, you can select it without going to like page 10

[ebon tusk]

it doesnt, nor is it supposed to

[ebon tusk]

changes to camera position of actor are in config/creatures/actor.ltx

[cold galleon]

There's the arsenal overhaul.
Great mod.
Ain't nothing like murking heavy armoured enemies with a round made for penetrating inter-war light tanks.
:3

[cold galleon]

I know it makes changes to actor.ltx.
What I'm asking is which parameters are changed.

[ebon tusk]

youre lucky that I have the unpacked SoC files at hand rn
one on the left is modded, the right one is unmodded

[undone lintel]

does the subtitle mod work with AMK on its own? Also I was trying to get 1.4.1 version of AMK without Autumn aurora but it's all in Russian

[ebon tusk]

it doesnt

[undone lintel]

so it's either AMK, or Russian audio?

thats crazy

[ebon tusk]

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZAXo2PpBhNPVbkkyPs96sG0Fa114CNSS
here is the hand translation of base AMK1.4.1

its in the C-Con spreadsheet

and yes, its standalone

[undone lintel]

thanks, is there any AMK type a-life extender thats compatible with subtitles? I really would like to play with Russian audio and subtitles i HATE accent "translations"

[ebon tusk]

AMK is a total conversion, you need a mod for AMK spcific, which there isnt
all the text is translated, and thats whats important, you arent gonna miss anything important

[undone lintel]

for me Russian audio with English sub is an absolute requirement. Are there any mods that make the ai and a-life better like AMK but without all the extra stuff?

im willing to forgo AMK for the RU dub ENG sub

[ebon tusk]

no

[placid spoke]

I really don't like gamma.

[blazing lichen]

Oh oops I forgot about those

[noble basalt]

barely used those

ate all mutant meat raw, one vodka or bubble artifact take away the radiation

[ruby citrus]

so true

[ivory anchor]

Gamma seems too grindy and some features just didn't need to be added. But otherwise I like the concept

[neon socket]

my game crashes every time i tab out was ok for a while now dose it very tim ei sthere a mod that i can get to fix thos

[untold glen]

how to even use them

[next root]

can anybody confirm for mutant loot 1.0, that bloodsuckers also drop stuff?

[ruby citrus]

i mean if you want to play a freeplay just download CotZ or smth

[spiral surge]

just play anomaly bro

[ivory anchor]

...I never asked for suggestions

[cold galleon]

I am lucky.
Thank you, marked one.

[lament steeple]

will the quality of life mods I have installed corrupt my save file when the patch comes out? does anyone have any info about this?

[gentle shale]

Is there a mod like Radiophobia 3 for CoP? A mod that overhauls/enhances the gameplay but keeps the main story?

I saw an SGM2.2 + Gunslinger + Absolute Nature compilation. Would that do something pretty similar?

[dreamy violet]

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

its not radiophobia but

[gentle shale]

I was looking at that. Looked good, but I saw the "no sellable weapons and no stashes". Idk why they'd do that

[rich knot]

Pretty Sure SGM adds maps plus adds quests.

[civic pewter]

GSWR or GSWR Wasted Sky

SGM 2.2 + Gunslinger Addon its a reinvention with much aditional content (8 maps, por example.)

[gentle shale]

Thank you!

[prisma vessel]

Has anyone looked to see how hard it would be to add weapons to stalker 2? I've been wanting to make a pass at some caliber changes and possibly add in more variety for 7.62x39 and 5.45

[ivory anchor]

I'd also like to see a damage/penetration rebalance

[crude ibex]

Hi there, I'm playing CoC and am in the Outskirts area, does anybody know where I can find a bed? I'm in the ecologist faction and was told that some beds are faction specific, so I'm guessing that the bed north of the Jupiter Underground exit is monolith only?

[idle matrix]

laundromat would normally be loners i think but idk, i havent played CoC in a long time

[bronze pawn]

Is this channel for modding stalker 2?

[hard tangle]

Hi guys im kinda new in the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and i want to play SoC and modding the trilogy, so i want to mod SoC but idk how to do it so i would appreciate so much if you guys help :D. I need like textures rework mods or something like that, to make the game looks like a 2017 game and not a 2007 game, and yes i know is bad to mod the game without playing it first in vanilla but i tried and i didnt like it so much without the mods i looked on YouTube, tsm guys tho if you help :DDD

[young fable]

SWR SoC

weapon animation

[crude ibex]

Is that the one I was referring to? If not, where would I find that one? I can see where the anomaly zones are, so directions from the closest one would be appreciated as I'm not sure what the names of most locations would be. I played the mod first around the time it came out, but haven't since my current playthrough and don't know where to find CoC specific info like that

[untold glen]

can you explain how to damn use them?

[untold glen]

its for all stalkers to use

[blazing lichen]

I'll be honest I never figured it out I'd just stock on sausage and tourist delights

[untold glen]

fair enough, although they are nerfed hardly and stupidly rare

like, the whole LOAF OF BATON in one bite

and you need like 3 to feel satiety???

yeah, no

thats not even realistic

[blazing lichen]

Fr it could use proper rebalance as that's crazy

[slender field]

Anyone know what pak file holds the audio configs?

[woven saddle]

Are the walls glitching and flashing also present in Vanilla? Or is that mod-side?

[slender field]

Vanilla, its a z-fighting issue. Most likely they have two meshes on top of each other so basically its a double building/room ontop of each other in the same location.

[woven saddle]

Thanks.
Yeah... I suspected as much.. I was hoping it was just a mod thing because I wanted to give the devs benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't have made such a rookie mistake when designing the area..

I hope someone answers your audio question! 👍

[slender field]

Most mods are just config edits right now, we dont have a SDK to add anything into maps. Its also 5.1 of UE which... isnt the best version of UE5.

I should mention, my experience of UE5 was stuff like this, that was an engine bug. I had my meshes dupped on top of each other like this, or where the engine placed a foliage asset but i could never select it or delete it again. It existed but the engine was unable to select it

I would also highly doubt we'd see a 5.5 or any type of engine upgrade.

[slender field]

It is indeed a double placed room. One is using Nanite and the other is using a lower LOD

Im seeing this all over the place, so to me it looks like both are loaded, nanite is more performant if used correctly, but when using classic LOD methods its still cost alot on draw calls, so most buildings i have seen have duplicated rooms/meshes/exteriors and interiors for walls.

I can't tell how much the nanite version is (in terms of poly's/vertex's), but some of these places are actually just dupped which is costly.

I think they forgot to actually lock these to specific consoles versions, but both are loaded. If anyone on the series s/x (i hate their naming for consolse, what ever the previous gen was) can take a look at this wall in the same spot, we can figure out if this is a console specific bug.

[ruby citrus]

Memories of the Zone

[neon socket]

I've had alot of these on Series X

[spiral knot]

Hello guys, I guess the question have been asked multiple times recently but any recommendations to play SoC close to vanilla with visual enhancement and bug fixes ? Without changing the gameplay too much or adding too many quests? Looking to play the trilogy to learn more about the lore, not planing to spend hundred hours on each game
Heard about Radiophobia 3 but i'm afraid it modify the game too much, what about it?
Or ZRP ?

[slender field]

Can you do me a favor and see in those locations if its a nanite wall and lod wall?

Should look similar to it in the photo

[ebon tusk]

Radiophobia 3 is a complete rebalance and adds new quests to the game
if this is your first playthru it is always recommended to play vanilla

[spiral knot]

I'm afraid of the graphics and bugs with full vanilla experience..

[supple moss]

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : assertion failed

go this error trying to heal with AA2.1, How would I fix?

[ebon tusk]

SoC is fully playable vanilla, if you find persistent crashes you can't fix you can install ZRP but if you avoid using items while in the loot menu you aren't likely to have that much of a crash ridden experience

[ebon tusk]

were you using a item while in the loot menu, lotting a body for example?

[supple moss]

ohh yup
