https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF7x1jUQyps this video sold me on it and made me uninstall anomaly tbh

i am more of a Call of the zone kinda freeplay guy i like more questy feels

but im locked into op2.2 so ill prob play teamlite once i get burnt out from 2.2

[loud breach]

rofl, it has Zoe from Left 4 Dead

[blazing lichen]

eastern modders are wild lol you need to also download the english translation

[wind scaffold]

I would like to play Call of the zone, but i cant. If its fully english its just unplayable for me. I can bear english text, but if everyone would talk on english in Ukraine it would be immersion breaking. Only Ukranian/Russian language for stalker.

[blazing lichen]

maybe there is russian localizations out there for it but i havent looked tbh

[loud breach]

I would feel the immersion leave my body the moment I saw Zoe in the Zone

[wind scaffold]

Saddly no.

[wind scaffold]

If i remember right Zoe model was in Golden Ball mod too.

[blazing lichen]

it gets a pass for me as its not marketed as a hyper realism sim hell op 2.2 got deathclaws from fallout

eastern side is deff wilder lol

i do wish i understood russian as some of these mods have no english translations

[loud breach]

don't you all complain that Anomaly uses stolen assets?

@upbeat coral you especially

[blazing lichen]

yes but its a little diff

anomaly and gamma dont credit anything they take

these other mods also dont claim to be the real stalker

theres a whole lot of lore and drama in that side of the community

[loud breach]

other modders do? doubt

[loud breach]

Anomaly claims to be the real stalker?

[blazing lichen]

here's a comment from Qatapro, the lead developer for Contract War Weapon Pack (CWWP):
"There is also another instance where GAMMA also pushed unreleased animations from a weapon pack our team has been working on, with zero permissions, the main Gamma author was a tester thats how he got access to the assets...."

[upbeat coral]

yeah because with Anomaly its the only content
all mods take content but they always balance it with their own original stuff

having 20% of borrowed content in your mod is diffeent than having exclusively borrowed content

[blazing lichen]

^

i dont think anomaly really added anything of their own tbh

[wind scaffold]

Thats not last problem with Anomaly. Main is that many people treats it like fourth (Fifth if we count stalker 2) stalker game and its bad. Many people just play Anomaly and dont play original games.

[upbeat coral]

not to mention Anomaly devs write their descriptions acting like they made everything from scratch
despite not doing anything on their own

they also straight up lie in it half the time

[novel grove]

this seems to be where most of the anomaly/gamma hate comes from. incredibly popular with streamers who never played or appreciated the original trilogy. which doesn't really bother me until they say things like "gamma is better than STALKER 2"

these "compilation" mods packed with their own name have been around since 2008. Anomaly is nothing new in that regard

[blazing lichen]

hell drewski had to walk it back but he told people to get ready for stalker 2 by playing the mods "anomaly" and "true stalker" while saying skip clear sky

[upbeat coral]

I should add Drewski to the list of bad words

[blazing lichen]

fr

[upbeat coral]

hes worth at least 5 cats

pay up Kotus

[wind scaffold]

"skip clear sky"... Hate him already.

[novel grove]

replaying clear sky for teh first time since release and it helds up better than i remember (especially graphics wise) but i DID get the patch to reduce nade spam

[blazing lichen]

demosfen atleast is a man enough to admit he steals shit

[blazing lichen]

👑

[novel grove]

SHOC is the only one i felt compelled to do multiple vanilla playthroughs on release. COP was kind of "meh" to me which i know is unpoular

[upbeat coral]

you get like 3 seconds to react
which with Scars running speed lets you run at least 10 meters away even if you react late

[blazing lichen]

naw thats fair tbh cop is really short and hard to get back into

[young fable]

theres 3 rule if you wanna be called the "true stalker" fans:
1.Play originay trilogy from SoC->CS->CoP
2.Dont play GAMMA or Anomaly first
3.Never skip Clear Sky

[wind scaffold]

Its definitely meh. Empty world with three borring locations.

[novel grove]

I was very excited for it, and the clearly listened to the community and made the games more "open" but it always felt rushed, and sort of empty to me. when it ended i was like, "that's it?" and i felt the freeplay was pretty boring

[wind scaffold]

We should pinn that message.

[novel grove]

SHOC is still the most complete to me before STALKER 2

[young fable]

yeah

[blazing lichen]

pinned

[wind scaffold]

Shadow of chernobyl ?

[young fable]

yes

[blazing lichen]

ngl zanton is one of my favorite zones

[upbeat coral]

Yawnton

[blazing lichen]

PEAK

[novel grove]

i do remember some insane SHOC mods that released i think even before clear sky. i think one was called AMK and it was nuts with enemy spawns

[young fable]

i mean Trilogy had details compared to 2 in my opinion

[upbeat coral]

would be better if more buildings were explorable

[neat dune]

leepa_time has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

AMK my beloved

best mod even to this day

the impact it had is incredible

[young fable]

damn this look like Assassin's tenets ngl

[blazing lichen]

Millions must play op2.2

[wind scaffold]

AKM ?

[upbeat coral]

AMK
Old SoC mod

[novel grove]

i don't remember all the changes, but i do remember an epic fight in the military warehouses after an emission with like 100+ mutants spawning and everything going to hell

[upbeat coral]

nearly every mod ever is somehow based on AMK

[blazing lichen]

🗣️

[loud breach]

Am I a true Stalker fan? I played all 3 for the first in December 2024. 😳

[blazing lichen]

👑

[upbeat coral]

no

[blazing lichen]

he is fr he didnt skip CS

[upbeat coral]

how could you be True Stalker fan when you havent played True Stalker

[young fable]

Snowy addons is kinda goated

[blazing lichen]

[young fable]

it restore lot of thing from CS

and bring back SoC graphics

(with build graphics)

[blazing lichen]

I beat the trilogy in May then got sucked into efp, gamma and anomaly and wasn't impressed tbh

Fell more in love with CoTZ

[upbeat coral]

play Jekans mods

NOW

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell

[young fable]

this is CoP

[blazing lichen]

Goddamn

[novel grove]

yes AMK first released April 2008, before clear sky. this old man's memory isn't terrible after all!

[blazing lichen]

Still gotta finish peaksphere

[young fable]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/snowys-restoration-mod-english-translation

[loud breach]

Do creators of Anomaly/Gamma make money off of them?

[upbeat coral]

youre playing too many mods at once
from experience thats the worse you can do

[upbeat coral]

iirc Grok takes donations for his "work"

[young fable]

i love petting my kot

[blazing lichen]

Just op 2.2 and goldsphere just been setting up global war/teamlite and RTTN I paused cotz and deleted iwp and anomaly

[blazing lichen]

I'm very indecisive

I usually do all my downloading and prep on the weekends tbh

[upbeat coral]

play more beginner friendly mods

[blazing lichen]

😡

[upbeat coral]

you chose 2 crazy mods to start with

[blazing lichen]

I'm built different Ong

[upbeat coral]

like
mods that break expereinced players

extreme jank

[blazing lichen]

I like that kinda stuff haha

[wind scaffold]

Kot, you didnt write why Road to the North is good, except that its best Call of Misery fork. Why its best Freeplay mod ?

[upbeat coral]

cuz it got good story and interesting concepts

it actually cares enough to innovate

which is rare to see with CoC forks

[blazing lichen]

But If op2.2 is to much ill switch to narodnaya solyanka

[upbeat coral]

let alone CoM forks

[loud breach]

are there any mods without stolen assets?

[upbeat coral]

yeah

not total conversions

but small mods

[blazing lichen]

COTZ ( standalone ) master is a stress test in FPS skill imo

warfighter makes combat up north incredibly deadly

ive been sniped in an exo lol

[upbeat coral]

gotta love GOG uses this pic as background on CoP storepage

probably my favourite concept art of all

[blazing lichen]

fr looks cool

[upbeat coral]

its Dead City btw

[blazing lichen]

god i wish we got this

i didnt know where this was tbh

[blazing lichen]

imagine if they more dev time

[upbeat coral]

this wasnt about dev time

they cancelled it because main complaint with Clear Sky were small and or reused maps
thats why this was cut and the devs opted for fewer big maps instead

at least according to RU wiki

[blazing lichen]

Ah fair enough

[loud breach]

where was it supposed to be?

[upbeat coral]

not sure
all I can tell is that it was supposed to be neighbouring level to the old Surroundings of Jupiter

so probably in place of Pripyat

I guess

old Jupiter here

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

PEAK

@upbeat coral i see global war devs were inspired by NV with the great Khans lol

[upbeat coral]

We love fallout stuff in stalker mods

Deathclaw gotta be my favourite enemy in the zone

[blazing lichen]

i'm excited to get into global warfare at somepoint

so many new factions lol

but im gonna make clear sky own it all

[rich gate]

No way that's a deathclaw

[rich gate]

Global warfare sounds insane af

It sounds like warfare mode but on crack

There's literally sentient mutants faction

[blazing lichen]

fr im excited to play it haha

[wind scaffold]

And look what all mods now are... Who are that people ?! Madmen.

[blazing lichen]

i was NOT expecting to hear 28 days later OST to play in OP 2.2 lol

[raven dagger]

@sand zephyr

[rich gate]

I think thats from 28 weeks later but yeah wtf?

[loud breach]

Mod with stolen assets has stolen OST? shocking

[upbeat coral]

Can you stop

For millionth time
Theres difference between taking some stuff AND having your mod be made exclusively from stolen shit while acting like you made it all

[blazing lichen]

^ @loud breach

There is a gigantic difference

[loud breach]

I didn't say there is no difference, it just shouldn't surprise anyone to hear Billy Jean while playing a stalker mod.

[upbeat coral]

Fanmade games usually dont have people to make original soundtrack for them

Of course there are exceptions

Like True Stalker but thats a massive production value project for stalker modding standards

And Goldsphere (best mod)

Which had original main menu track

[pallid ridge]

I hate mods bro

(lol I'm sorry i just idk i randomly responded to your message Kotus)

[blazing lichen]

vanilla enjoyer? i like mods that arent anomaly and its mod packs (gamma, custom, efp)

[pallid ridge]

Vanilla+high graphics enjoyer

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

freeplay mod devs on their way to make a quadrillionth mod built upon COC and some other assets on top of it

[neat dune]

aliwer has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich gate]

1984

(yet I still play Anomaly self aware of how crappy it can be)

[blazing lichen]

There's some solid freeplay mods to be fair

[rich gate]

Anomaly is uh... middle at best, I played some good ones tho but they got abandoned, games like dead air I personally found interesting

[upbeat coral]

Freeplay mod devs on their way to release renamed CoC with worse balance for 10472947294820th time

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Dead Air had a vision and a goal
It had cool features and was generally interesting

Anomaly on the other hand..
Is just a vasyanka

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

cotz peak

lol man i wish i understood russian

[upbeat coral]

Peak

[rich gate]

what is the meaning of Vasyanka

[rich gate]

Id drink with this lad

he sounds friendly

[blazing lichen]

same ngl

[rich gate]

Im sure he wont suck my blood dry

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

Low effort shitpack basically

[rich gate]

fair enough

[upbeat coral]

Bunch of stolen mods glued together using quick dry glue from dollar store

[rich gate]

lmao

[upbeat coral]

Hehe

[loud breach]

so Anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[rich gate]

pretty good comparison ngl

yet I still play it 💀

[upbeat coral]

Booo

[loud breach]

Drewski loves Vasyan?

[upbeat coral]

5 cats

You said the D word

[rich gate]

may I repent for my sins of liking this mod

hey at least I dont boast for it being the best mod or the best "stalker game", its not

[upbeat coral]

Its okay to like shit if you know its shit and are aware of its flaws

[rich gate]

thank you Emperor

[upbeat coral]

Heck I like Goldsphere
One of the buggiest mods Ive played

If not the buggiest

[blazing lichen]

My only real issue is those communities shitting on the canon games tbh

[rich gate]

which is funny af cause if the canon games did not come out then it wouldnt exist

[blazing lichen]

Fr

[rich gate]

and the lore and concept of STALKER itself is based af

[upbeat coral]

My issues are the communities and descriptions on moddb
Its literally lie after lie right next to taking credit for others work

[blazing lichen]

I think people should play all stalker content zones based as hell but I hate the high and mighty erm my mod is the REAL way to play not that old outdated garbage

[upbeat coral]

And then more lies

[blazing lichen]

Also this

[rich gate]

meanwhile I just play it cause I enjoy it

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell

[rich gate]

fr

like bro Anomaly uses the same engine its just upgraded

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shock-eyes-out-big-eyes-what-gif-26401236

Fuck

I keep forgetting there's no gif perms here

[upbeat coral]

Its also the worst 64 bit Xray fork out there

Hehe

[rich gate]

what makes it so bad?

im curious

[upbeat coral]

Like
STCoP
A fuсking gun pack comes packaged with better engine

[rich gate]

Gunslinger?

[upbeat coral]

Its closed
Thats why you see no impressive inovative stuff built on it

[blazing lichen]

Bro goddamn I've shot every dog in the cordon and I still need 2 tails for tolik's request

[rich gate]

I had far more crashes than in Anomaly

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

that sucks

[upbeat coral]

Gunslinger uses 32 bit

[rich gate]

Anomaly moment

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

explains why I crash then maybe

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

[blazing lichen]

Naw op2.2

[upbeat coral]

The engine just cant handle it

[upbeat coral]

At least you dont need to get Tolik new pants

[rich gate]

is there a 64 upgrade?

[blazing lichen]

havent even left the cordon yet lol

[rich gate]

like some submod?

[upbeat coral]

For gunslinger?

[rich gate]

ye

[blazing lichen]

ah yeah i had to get his pants shot them off the watch tower

[rich gate]

the mod is cool ngl

[upbeat coral]

Yes
Theres a port to 64 bit Open Xray engine

[upbeat coral]

No

[upbeat coral]

Hehe

[rich gate]

[blazing lichen]

i just did the wolfs razor quest and oh man that was something lol

[rich gate]

thats gonna be fun for him noticing a bullet hole in his pants

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

It has cool features
I really like how gun upgraded actually change how the gun looks

But man

Does the gameplay suck

[rich gate]

yeah they added some good details

[upbeat coral]

And the fact you cant cancel actions means its essentially a waiting and camping simulator

[rich gate]

the guns were cool

but man, the burers

or controllers

Burers on their way to take my gun off my hands for 192381938th time in a row

[blazing lichen]

im excited to go to the valley of whispers

[rich gate]

and shoot me with it

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

god forbid i had an rpg

then wed both die

[blazing lichen]

i remember that 1 vid

@upbeat coralgoddamn ukraines military is NOT messing around in the cordon lol

[blazing lichen]

He's right near a dogs body I need to check for a tail

ill need to find another tail lol

i cant aggro these guys

[blazing lichen]

I can't wait to explore it

[idle matrix]

If you are in OP-2 still it's gonna be a while

Not like many do, I think if you even get 5-10% of the way through you have done a better job than most ever would

[green gust]

Anyone know if they are working on something like an Anomaly or Misery style mod for this game?

Damn. Oh well. Hopefully sometime this year they will make one.

[idle matrix]

That said, seems very likely someone will make a spiritual successor to Misery if possible

[green gust]

Struggling to get through the end of the game myself right now. Was hoping to have something else to try after finishing a vanilla playthrough

[upbeat coral]

As you said
Its not always what people mean
The word can mean a lot of stuff but generally is used as "low effort" rather than amateurish

[blazing lichen]

I'll give it a shot as I'm not installing stalker 2 until maybe mid or late 2026

Fr same it has potential

That's why I don't mind investing hundreds of hours into 2.2 as if I like something I'm locked in

My last most played game was just over 2000 hours into it

I'm gonna eventually try all the mods I can that have atleast English translations as I'm not learning Russian for some mods

Fair haha

[idle matrix]

I was pretty happy to finish the story but now I am gonna wait for at least several updates more yeah

[blazing lichen]

I'm excited to see how long I can get in op2.2 as I think it has the best TTK and gunplay in any mod so far

[blazing lichen]

👑

[idle matrix]

I got trilogy mods to play, plus games friends got me for christmas

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell

I'm gonna also give global war a try as faction wars in clear sky was the best

It'll be interesting to see

Aslong as they ain't doing forced lumen you should be good imo

we should go back to older style lighting imo

[idle matrix]

global war is great in moderate doses. barely held together at the seams but fun

[blazing lichen]

i started a bandit run in it

[idle matrix]

bandits are hard mode because your NPC squads are basically useless. But you do get a lot of them

[ebon tusk]

They have said they arent

[blazing lichen]

ngl global war would be wild

on an full open map

[ebon tusk]

[idle matrix]

Load into the game and your CPU instantly combusts

[blazing lichen]

💀

i hope honestly i like the trilogy lighting alot

esp clear sky's

[idle matrix]

Unfortunately idk if it's possible with the full dynamic day/night cycle

[blazing lichen]

oh true hmm

i dont think shadow of chernobyl even got dark at night

its been awhile though

fr man i wonder how that changes with the map being fully open vs level transitions

[novel grove]

trying to install this and it says i need OGSR engine 2.1.421

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/stalker-weapon-reanimation-soc

can't seem to find this online...they don't link it from the mod page for the SWR

[upbeat coral]

https://github.com/OGSR/OGSR-Engine/releases/download/2.1.420/OGSR_Engine_SHOC_EDITION_x64_2.1.421_Release.7z

No need to thank me

But you definitely should

[white brook]

is there a less 'hardcore'/more casual version(s) of anomaly/gamma, they're fun, but very frustrating (for me)

combat difficultyis fine imo, but the economy/repairs feels kinda limiting since i can't invest a lot of time into the game

[ebon tusk]

how about you just play COC or COTZ
that is what Anomaly is based on, that and misery

[white brook]

i guess I'll try it out, i don't know much about modding outside of Minecraft

[loud breach]

is there a mod that adds different sounds for different surfaces that bolts land on?

[barren rose]

Wilhelm scream every time the bolt lands

[loud breach]

how about the entire LotR soundtrack every time a bolt lands?

[novel grove]

thank you, unfortunately insatlling that to vanilla SHOC caused crash launching the game

[turbid prairie]

hello guys, have zrp, hd models adone and the owr3 installed but always when i shoot a weapon my game is crashing

[turbid prairie]

excatly

[upbeat coral]

Probably 2 mods trying to edit particles.xr

Id suggest running it with just OWR

And get rid of the other two

[upbeat coral]

Weird
What does the log say?

[novel grove]

after lots of trial and efror, going for a very vanilla SHOC experience. just have ZRP- absolute nature & absolute structures. i can boot the game, but lots of textures have this weird "grid" flickering look on buildings

[upbeat coral]

Grrr

ZRP

[novel grove]

what is wrong with ZRP, is it not just bug fixes?

[upbeat coral]

No

Its not even bugfixes

It claims to fix bugs but instead changes gameplay for worse while introducing more bugs

Youre better off without it

[novel grove]

ok, i'll uninstall and reinstasll SHOC for the 100th time today lol

[loud breach]

[novel grove]

maybe i will just do PURE vanilla and see how it holds up against my memories

[upbeat coral]

I did like 5 playthroughs of SoC
And the single one I did with ZRP was by far the buggiest

Like
Its not even a competition, I didnt run into any major issues in any of the other runs

[loud breach]

what bugs did you encounter

[upbeat coral]

Dynamic objects (including alive enemies) popping in and out of existence (love getting mag dumped by monolithian who appears out of nowhere one meter before me)
Broken quests (Meet Guide didnt trigger at all)
Ton of markers that didnt disappear after finishing the quest (happened a lot more than usual)

I died like 20 times in sarcophagus to those disappearing monolithians alone

[turbid prairie]

should i just deinstalled the gamedata folder if i want to deinstalle all my mods?

[blazing lichen]

i did ZRP and hated this pop in

[upbeat coral]

Gamedata and just to be sure delete the bin folder too

Then verify files and repair through whatever store you use

Be it steam or GOG

[turbid prairie]

thx

[novel grove]

LOL after days of trying to pick a vanilla + SHOC experience i have now deleted everything and going pure vanilla

[novel grove]

is there anything i can use just to expand the view/grass distance? on every playthrough i have that clear line where shadows etc are being loaded in

[upbeat coral]

I think OGSR engine allows that

And IX-Ray should too

[blazing lichen]

goddamn lol before i pressed on the artifacts i thought these were 3 hearts of the oasis

[upbeat coral]

Ngl this kinda looks better than Heart of Oasis stats wise

[loud breach]

[edgy steppe]

nah lowering bulletproof is unforgivable is this mod unless you compensate it

[wind scaffold]

What the mod ?

[blazing lichen]

Op 2.2

[wind scaffold]

Looks beautiful.

[blazing lichen]

It's peak and you can play it as it's russian first thankfully there's English translations for me

[idle matrix]

It's definitely something. Though I guess visually it certainly isn't bad.

...Mostly. Then you occasionally run into something with a jarrilgly low quality model or animation

[blazing lichen]

I love how it feels like the trilogy tbh

I prefer trilogy graphics to these gamma tier graphics

[idle matrix]

The overall aesthetics are definitely true to the original game

[wind scaffold]

i can play most of the stalker mods, but not COTZ...

[blazing lichen]

I wish there russian/Ukrainian localization

[wind scaffold]

Me too.

[blazing lichen]

X was a great modder

[ruby citrus]

WORSE

[wind scaffold]

Whats the mod ?

[rich gate]

I will do a big cat debt speedrun

Anomaly, Gamma, Misery, EFP, Call of Misery, Dark Signal, Shadow of Chernobyl complete, clear sky complete, call of pripyat complete

[upbeat coral]

Thats a personal attack

100 cats

[loud breach]

[rich gate]

I can only afford one

[rich gate]

[loud breach]

if anomalies were real I'd throw cats into them

[rich gate]

I'd throw myself into them for fun

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Such crimes wont be tolerated

[rich gate]

Spamming 100 cats in one chat will likely get me banned

Instead I will do one a day

10 a day

i wanna try call of chernobyl. but i heard that 1.5 is a mess and the mod was abandoned long ago. but i heard that 1.4 is a playable experience. atleast with the patch

[minor plaza]

Guys

Can I play Cotz without cop

Like call of Chernobyl

[blazing lichen]

Cotz is standalone yes

[blazing lichen]

I'd rather play call of the zone over CoC 1.4.22 tbh Dr.X did a great job making it a great version

CoC is kinda barren in comparison imo

[minor plaza]

Erm chat how do I make my map show in COTZ

Like a minimap

Or a healing UI

Ah yes peak COTZ

[blazing lichen]

you healing ui is watching red bar go up not every one has the cop style box show up aswell and minimap should be there vanilla if not just grab coc map i personally use this

[minor plaza]

There's nothing

[blazing lichen]

@blazing lichen in which folder do I extract them

[blazing lichen]

winrar/7zip right into the cotz folder and itll do the rest for you as its a mix of gamedata/app data depending on the mod

[minor plaza]

@blazing lichen so basically COTZ is just slightly fixed and reskinned COC?

[blazing lichen]

It's based off of CoC but it's more then just that

@minor plazathis is why dont even play CoC anymore cotz is just a direct upgrade imo

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

RIP Dr.X

[blazing lichen]

CoTZ is peak it feels more complete then CoC imo

The dynamic missions are awesome

[quasi ore]

should i play cotz

is it stable and fully working

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[upbeat coral]

No, Yes

[quasi ore]

hello

what faction in stalker (cotz) would best fit me irl. I am a young person who has specific morals and standards that benefit myself and the world around me. There are things i support, things i like and things i hate and will aim to force into disappearing. I dont hurt people unless they are trying to hurt me. and i give respect when i decide they deserve respect. if i like someone within the first moments of meeting them i will respect them and give my life in their hands the first day, but this leaves me to end up coming across some very awful people who use my easily given trust to backstab me the hardest.

[ebon tusk]

the one that has you go outside and touch grass

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral bro goddamn this TTK is insane sometimes lol

[pallid ridge]

Be a loner trust me.

[upbeat coral]

Youre the type who would go to perimeter wall, turn around and go home

[wind scaffold]

Loner.

I need freeplay mod for SoC. Purely vanilla if possible.

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral they got filtered lol

[wind scaffold]

What differences between NLC 7 and OP2.2 ?

[wind scaffold]

Where i can find it ?

[blazing lichen]

NLC 7 is a hardcore mode what gamma wishes it could be and op 2.2 is a gigantic soup mod with a decades worth of content and consider reading both the mods description for more details

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/downloads/dooms-mod-merge-07

i think this is the one

NLC 7 sounds fun ngl

[wind scaffold]

Thanks. Couldnt find that on russian mod forums.

[blazing lichen]

no worries i honestly go to moddb first before having to look for more obscure sites

[wind scaffold]

Well, From my point of view russian mod forum is not that obscure. Understandable, im a russian.

[blazing lichen]

fair counterpoint i guess it depends where you are and what languages you speak

[loud breach]

so Gamma?

[blazing lichen]

no lol

gamma is more tedious then hard

also pretty sure NLC came first

[loud breach]

any mod that tries to be brutal is a meme

[blazing lichen]

why is that ?

[loud breach]

because then it just becomes another Gamma

[blazing lichen]

eh you're free to believe what you want even if you're wrong

gamma isnt even hardcore lol

op2.2 is alot harder then gamma

for example

[loud breach]

how is it harder?

[wind scaffold]

Gamma ? More like Gamno,

[loud breach]

Alamo

[blazing lichen]

play and you'll see

OP 2.2 aint for the faint of heart

[loud breach]

there is more drugs and more weapons parts than in Govnno?

more weapon cleaning

[upbeat coral]

Its not

[upbeat coral]

No
OP2.2 is actually difficult
Not just tedious

You need to know the game and learn to abuse the shit out of it to actually progress

[blazing lichen]

Fr also the TTK makes combat incredibly deadly for everyone

come up against a merc squad and youll see just how intense combat can get and thats before even going north lol id argue atleast early game op 2.2 gunplay makes COTZ on master look easy

you will be punished for being careless

example

i am wearing this aswell as stat boosting artis lol

[shrewd flame]

ok guys Narodnaya Solyanka or stalkersoup ?

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere

[shrewd flame]

I tried multiple time.... Never got into it

[shrewd flame]

sorry goldshere man

[blazing lichen]

Op 2.2

[shrewd flame]

I am scared of playing op 2.2

[idle matrix]

My favorite feature of OP-2 is the underground burers who redirect enemy grenades to your face

[blazing lichen]

hmm in that case id try playing Narodnaya Solyanka first

[blazing lichen]

😳

[shrewd flame]

Ok thx

[blazing lichen]

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

Excited to try this as I'm not into anomalies item bloat

[blazing lichen]

I'm reinstalling gamma after work because of this

[upbeat coral]

Kotus Heresy!

[cold isle]

do you have to find 5 pages?

becaues in all the videos i watch you just grab one document and i grabbed it and its stilltelling me to do this

[loud breach]

1 kot posted = 1 gamma install

[upbeat coral]

Locator my beloved

[neon socket]

Hello... I'm looking for a Discord that talks about Nexus mods for Stalker 2 Cherynobl. I just bought Ultimate version and want to mod it. I looked at the Gamma but I'm not ready for that. I've never played any of the franchise games.

[upbeat coral]

there arent really any proper mods for S2 yet

as for the other games, they are best played unmodded

and as for Gamma its really far removed from anything stalker is about

[blazing lichen]

First off play the trilogy and there's alot better mods them gamma imo like call of the zone

[upbeat coral]

call*

[blazing lichen]

Oops sorry

[quasi ore]

i think cotz is bugged. npcs keep walking into mines

[neat dune]

floofyvenn has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[quasi ore]

with them being trained soldiers of the ukrainian army you'd expect them to watch their step

[upbeat coral]

Heh
Dumb soldiers

They dont get paid enough to "watch their step"

Let alone watch the border

[quasi ore]

i grabbed the rpk the guy had and put it on a crate. few minutes later a soldier waked up and grabbed it

just doing my duty. and not that kind of duty

[upbeat coral]

Crazy

[quasi ore]

oh my god

5 PEOPLE walked into mines one after another

im using rhons mod pack btw

i dont know if thats the reason the npc has broken pathfinding

[upbeat coral]

Nah

Its just that the mines arent there in vanilla CoC iirc

And editing the AI map to make NPCs avoid the area would be dumb

They couldnt follow you through using a safe path for example

[edgy steppe]

It's hard and challenging until further in game they just start to one tap you through thin walls

the only way to avoid such onetaps is to use leans and picking the right cover

[wind scaffold]

I have really important question. I didnt play stalker 2 but i saw parts of gameplay. So, did it become like mod gunslinger ? (Its fair use of this section because i ask about mod.)

[upbeat coral]

Messer better

[loud breach]

wait, you think Gamma is a mod for S2?

[upbeat coral]

2 cata

NOW!!

[loud breach]

2 cats = 2 more Gamma installs

[wind scaffold]

Cota you mean ?

[upbeat coral]

I meant cats

[wind scaffold]

Kotov.

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat corali beat the merc squad in garbage in op2.2 fuck man that was intense lol they had M4's and IL86s

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Wait till you get one of those impossible mutant farming quests

[blazing lichen]

i feel i already am haha i need 5 dog tails for tolik and ive wiped cordon and garbage now and i only have 3

[upbeat coral]

Nah

This aint nothing yet

[blazing lichen]

😳

i feel im not really even ready for op2.2 but i dont wanna give up

part of me wants to pause and go do Narodnaya Solyanka for now tbh

[neat dune]

ares_cavaliere has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

Im talking about tasks that spawn so many mutants that need to be eliminated in such short time that its impossible
So people will activate artifacts at the mutant spawnpoint before even starting the quests
Resulting in the mutants getting instantly torn apart

[blazing lichen]

oh jeez

i feel i need meta knowledge

[loud breach]

is there a mod that joins all locations together like in Stalker 2 so it's one big open world?

without loading screens

[bleak vale]

Hy guys plz help

I'm on xbox, no console menu.
After going to the x-17 laboratory

I follow the colonel etc. this clown gets a tip at the chemical plant and I find him stuck with his leg in the canteen table and if you talk to him the classic phrase "what's new in the area" of all the NPCs comes out. Pointing out that no, I can't load the old saves because I deleted them, because once I finished, before following him to the chemical plant I explored the whole thing (I never would have thought he would screw up like this)

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it off that table? After 5 days and 15 hours of play it just bothers me a little that I can't go any further 🙂

[loud breach]

uwot m8

[loud breach]

is there any mod that adds RPG elements? stats, levels, etc?

[upbeat coral]

no

Xray engine would probably shit itself

altho connecting some maps may be plausible

Xray could probably handle Cordon, Garbage, Agroprom an Dark Valley (and the underground maps) being connected into one
Same with Bar, Wild Territory, Yantar and Warehouses
But then...
its not really worth it

[upbeat coral]

many mods have it
but theres no dedicated mod for just that

but mods like In Spite of Death 1, Lost Alpha and Legend Returns have it

[loud breach]

but there's a 64 bit modernized version

[upbeat coral]

still not worth it

[loud breach]

why

Gamma players would eat that shit up

[upbeat coral]

performance

[loud breach]

lol the point is to make it perform well

[upbeat coral]

._.

[loud breach]

there are open world games with bigger maps

without loading screens

that work good

[upbeat coral]

yeah but they dont run on goddamn Xray engine

[loud breach]

it will probably happen eventually

[upbeat coral]

no

we gott some big Xray maps but theres a reason why nobody did this

its more effort than its worth and it probably wouldnt even work well

closest we got to this was connected Cordon and Garbage by the team behind OGSE

[loud breach]

they'll connect more stuff I'm sure

or Grok will do it

[upbeat coral]

Grok doesnt do anything new nor anything that requires work

only mod thats supposed to have all maps connected into one is that "port" of SoC that doesnt even use Xray

it runs on stinky poopy UE4

[loud breach]

is it even a port or a tech demo with an empty map?

[upbeat coral]

its not even out yet afaik

[loud breach]

lol, probably never will be

imagine porting SoC to UE when Stalker 2 already did this mistake

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[blazing lichen]

Radiophobia 3?

[upbeat coral]

nah

forgot the name

[blazing lichen]

All good tbh

[civic pewter]

IX-Ray with the maps of Another Side :

[upbeat coral]

Another Side?

[civic pewter]

Another Side is a mod under the IX-Ray Engine that has four levels/maps, each one measures four square kilometers as a MINIMUM
the developers said that in the "Quiet Zaton" four Zaton Vanilla fit without problems

[upbeat coral]

do they have a moddb or ap-pro page or something?

cant find anything

wait
wasnt it shown in Ap-Pro showcase 2024?

[civic pewter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y10BQolUi7g

[upbeat coral]

some maps seem to have elements from ISOTD3 maps (peak)

wait
they have STCOP on IX-Ray?

peak

holy

[civic pewter]

The devs of the mod have elements of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 (2009-2012) for the maps too

[upbeat coral]

[upbeat coral]

I just hope the maps wont feel extremely empty

[civic pewter]

they said that the maps are good content for the "explorers"

[upbeat coral]

first of all
Thats a bunch of spoilers

second of all
this is modding channel, go ask in #❔┃gameplay-advice

[loud breach]

when are you gonna play Stalker 2?

[upbeat coral]

when its good

[loud breach]

[loud breach]

have you made any maps for Stalker? is it difficult?

[upbeat coral]

not yet
I want to eventually
so far I only managed to open some in the SDK

Im only starting out with mapping

but I do have some ideas I want to realize in form of maps

[loud breach]

do mods have a lot of new maps? I heard mapping for stalker is some ancient lost art and that's why mods usually don't have a lot of new maps, is this true?

[upbeat coral]

absolutely not true

thats what anomaly players will tell you because anomaly is ass to mod

hundereds of mods have edited, expanded and often original maps too

[quasi ore]

what does this mean? im trying to install the famas replacer for anomaly but the game crashes on startup when its enabled in mo2 or manually installed

im on 1.5.2

[upbeat coral]

let these be your answer @loud breach

it features all types of modded maps
edited, expanded and original ones too

also
this is ideal time to present something Im working on
its far from finished and was done in span of like 2 hours, theres ton of missing stuff but should suffice as proof of concept

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_JWT7WEq-_gvERgXFs9NybRbUWLj93Fo5gczSmZN9a0/edit?usp=sharing

thats 55 modded maps that I wrote down
and thats only those I had downloaded when making this

[loud breach]

are you gonna add original maps too?

[upbeat coral]

probably

Theres still ton of stuff Im aware of that is yet to be added

Like trilogy maps (in separate tab probably)
Bildo maps (separate tab as well)
Lost Alpha maps
And maps from smaller mods such as Calm after the Storm

[quasi ore]

i replaced the famas in anomaly with an original one but the icon still shows the weird futuristic halo one

[upbeat coral]

Cuz you didnt change the icon

Also
A word
One cat please

[quasi ore]

how do i change the icon?

[upbeat coral]

You have to make one, then change the icon in something something ui_equipments something
Then manually align the silencer and scope positions for the icon (not like the devs bothered doing that for already included guns anyways)

[loud breach]

Bilbo maps?

[upbeat coral]

Maps from old builds

Mainly from Oblivion Lost

[loud breach]

why are they called "Bildo"?

[upbeat coral]

Cuz they are from old bilds

Also bildo is faster to write than buildo
And reads the same

Oh
I should also include multiplayer maps

And stuff

Man so much work to do

[loud breach]

dildo maps

[quaint ingot]

[idle matrix]

Which mod was this from

[civic pewter]

Pre-Zone is in AlternativA 1.4-1.4.1 and in Lost World Requital too:

[upbeat coral]

I know
But Alternativa is still somewhat obscure mod
So I chose to include better known mods instead

[upbeat coral]

Another Side

[fallow sedge]

the port that's now illegal with new gsc modding guidelines

along with all the unity mobile ports and roh

and god knows what else

way to kill fan games

[blazing lichen]

Atleast they arent like rockstar and purge the internet of all the mods

[fallow sedge]

just cause it could be worse doesn't mean it couldn't be better

[blazing lichen]

To be fair who is mobile gaming lol

[kindred anchor]

MO2 not opening (fresh install)

[wind scaffold]

I think its because of russian language. if i write how builds will be on russian using english signs it will be bildy-bildi. But it only theory.

[wind scaffold]

Whats mod, whats game ?

[kindred anchor]

stalker anomalym

After I downloaded MO2 from github, and follow every steps and created a folder for it and Installed it to that file

[wind scaffold]

We dont talk about anomaly there. Read pinned messages.

[kindred anchor]

kk

[wind scaffold]

Did you played original trilogy ?

[blazing lichen]

I'd consider going to the anomaly discord aswell

[wind scaffold]

Well, he is gone.

[blazing lichen]

Rip lol

[lucid trout]

Better mod removing the famas cause its disgusting french trash

[blazing lichen]

Famas good

[lucid trout]

famas BAD

[blazing lichen]

No gif perms lol

[lucid trout]

sobbing

[blazing lichen]

It slapped in og mw2 fr

[lucid trout]

that it did

then as i grew up

i realized the french are bad

alongside their weapons

[blazing lichen]

This is a French server

[lucid trout]

nuh uh

[blazing lichen]

You got me lol

[lucid trout]

[wind scaffold]

Especially Ubisoft.

[blazing lichen]

Ubipeak amirite?

[quasi ore]

you be hard

why you be soft?

[blazing lichen]

trying out global war as peak sky

[idle matrix]

Are you enemies with Alpha

[blazing lichen]

naw neutral atm

[idle matrix]

Alright then you should be okay

[blazing lichen]

fr cuz that is NOT a fight id win

[idle matrix]

Taking Jupiter from them is like fighting in the Somme

[blazing lichen]

that is horrifying and kind of exciting

[idle matrix]

Though I guess that describes taking any of the overpowered faction main bases

[blazing lichen]

i really aint ready for somme tier fights i got a 9mm smg

[idle matrix]

If nothing else your framerate will be a casualty lol

I also remember last time I played taking Limansk from Wind. That was... something. Ideal 24 fps cinematic experience

(There were like 100+ guys there)

[blazing lichen]

Haha man that sounds like it was chaos

💀 😳

[idle matrix]

It was pretty late game. So half of them were my guys

[blazing lichen]

GW sounds like a real pc benchmark tbh

I'm excited to get into it I like op2.2 but man I need a small break it's kinda daunting

[idle matrix]

It can be. But then also sometimes you will be taking a relaxing walk through a map with no fighting nearby and your fps will drop for no reason anyway

Well better starting in jupiter than in swamps because the renegades faction boss is overpowered as hell

He absorbed all the strength of all the other members I guess

But then the unique he drops is overpowered enough to be worth the hassle

[blazing lichen]

bro assimilated his squads lol

whats the unique

this is kinda ranking structure lol

[idle matrix]

It's a VSS chambered in .45 that seems to do basically the same amount of damage as the regular one. And for some reason it has a 50 round mag.

[blazing lichen]

💀

i need this

[idle matrix]

But to kill him I had to call literally the entire map to the machine yard and we still barely managed it lol

[blazing lichen]

goddamn lol

[idle matrix]

Faction leaders being able to take lead like a tank is basically the only major complaint I have with the mod other than the performance being weird

But not all of them are as bad as that guy

I guess it was enjoyably over the top at least

And what is this mod about if not that

[blazing lichen]

fr haha

i loved the faction wars of CS so its nice to give this a shot

[loud breach]

@upbeat coral are there any mods that accept Patreon payments?

[upbeat coral]

could be
I personally use bildo cuz it sounds funny

[upbeat coral]

yeah
theres a bunch of modders who accept donations

only few of those make story mods tho, and the rest I dont care about

[loud breach]

who?

[upbeat coral]

I think Vivient had something like that
but thats the only big modder I remember

its mostly just small addon makers that take donations

[rich gate]

how is it lol

I havent tried it yet

well I did but when I launched as black slugs I crashed immediately lol

[blazing lichen]

It's not bad there's some stutter moments when all the alife loads up but feels good otherwise

[loud breach]

Bildo Moddins

[blazing lichen]

[blazing lichen]

Goddamn man this aint even for last tier tools lol (cotz)

[upbeat coral]

Cardan is drunk at work again...

[blazing lichen]

fr lol

@upbeat coral i think i bit off too much haha im gonna revisit op 2.2 one day i gotta play easier soup mod first

[upbeat coral]

how about playing non soup mod

[blazing lichen]

fr honestly

[idle matrix]

It is a lot to take in

Anyone know what the deal with SoC: Update is? Like... what kind of mod is it? I get videos for it recommended to me on youtube

[upbeat coral]

looks like pretty generic visual overhaul

[idle matrix]

Yeah. None of the videos really explained what the vision was. So all I could see was better visual fidelity

[upbeat coral]

it seems to have betterr models and stuff but majority of screenshots are just UI so its hard to get any info from them

and the description isnt great either

"Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl update is a mod where the graphics, sounds are overhauled to today's standards but the story is left alone. (basically if stalker anomaly and the original SOC had a kid)"

Like what am I supposed to take away from this? that its dull, boring, grey and empty?

[idle matrix]

I guess that they added screenspace shaders or something lol

[upbeat coral]

it seems to run on OGSR engine so those arent even added by the mod itself

[idle matrix]

Yeah. Pass for now I guess. Got more interesting ones to try

[civic pewter]

SoC: Update 1.4.2 is a graphic overhaul with some changes to gameplay and more weapons

SoC: Update 2.0 is a reinvention with maps like:
Pripyat of "Living Zone"
A unique version of Radar
Great Swamps

[edgy steppe]

basically new graphics with reworked locations and custom variation of "gunslinger" with real-time attachments change (like handguard, stock, etc.)

and iirc new details in story

[young fable]

pistols

[blazing lichen]

looks nice

[upbeat coral]

@ebon tusk do you know if all of the levels in Calm after the Storm were made specifically for the mod?

[compact juniper]

what mods do you recommend for the old games?

[ebon tusk]

from what I know, yhea they were made specifically for it

[idle matrix]

Depends, do you want to play the original stories with alterations or do you want a brand new experience

[upbeat coral]

thank you Sir Vasim

[compact juniper]

stories with alt

[idle matrix]

Hmmm, OGSR Legacy for SoC maybe?

[idle matrix]

idk why so many mods want to add darkscape/dark hollow. especially if they are a mod that doesn't have vehicles

[blazing lichen]

ong man its kind of annoying

its kind of long walk lol

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen not really a spoiler, just a silly little activity that happens at the first camp in Valley of Whispers

[blazing lichen]

AYO haha

based as fuck

[upbeat coral]

also make sure to use this fsgame.ltx in your GOG install of CoP before you copy it over to mod it
it will save you a lot of pain with appdata folder

[blazing lichen]

perfect copied that into first cop folder so itll be smooth sailing from here on out

PEAK

[upbeat coral]

hehe

same modding team also made Path in the Mist
which is still extremely good mod despite being a decade old

they also made all the great maps featured in The Exception

like this absurdly large agroprom

[idle matrix]

yeah path in the mist is still on my to play list. ive seen it highly recommended a lot

[blazing lichen]

AYO

im gonna download that one aswell

im kinda glad to be stepping away from freeplay atm theres so much more story based mods hell even soups

[upbeat coral]

Path in the Mist Cordon gotta be one of the best three Cordon reworks

second place probably

further improved for ISOTD3
but to my knowledge never used in any mods

[blazing lichen]

goddamn thats huge lol

[idle matrix]

I'm playing through The Curved Road which is... weird. Kind of a light OGSE type mod adding stuff on to SoC. Some new maps, NPCs, and tasks, but the storyline and gameplay are mostly unchanged. The visuals are pretty good but overall I feel kinda neutral on it. It's SoC, so it's good I guess

The bigger changes seem to be later in the story so I gess I'll see how I feel then

It gets demerits for adding darkscape with no vehicles, but it at least as a unique NPC with some side missions, so it has more of a reason to be in the game than in some mods

[blazing lichen]

ill have to give that one a try i never heard of it

[idle matrix]

It's kind of an obscure one but Psy translated it so I decided to check it out since I knew the English version would be pretty good at least

[blazing lichen]

i avoid darkscape in freeplay mods if i can tbh

[upbeat coral]

speaking of huge

[blazing lichen]

ill give it a shot

[blazing lichen]

AYO what mod is this from?

i wish COTZ had these maps

[idle matrix]

It would crash just thinking about maps this big

[blazing lichen]

fr lol

[upbeat coral]

ISOTD3

[blazing lichen]

this is a deff a 64 bit mod

[upbeat coral]

thhey crash the original CoP SDK

[blazing lichen]

💀

is ISOTD3 playable i never heard about it before

[idle matrix]

it was canceled sadly, but some of the maps live on

[blazing lichen]

i am glad they live on atleast

i wanna check out that giant pripyat

[upbeat coral]

I have the gamefiles for it
the map is nearly 600MB

[idle matrix]

Oh yeah IDK what I did but I broke the skybox in darkscape permanently. I hate this place (but I took jobs to kill a controller and the bandits at the gas station)

[upbeat coral]

usually stalker maps are around 100-150MB

[blazing lichen]

💀

[blazing lichen]

goddamn man you've become the anomaly

[blazing lichen]

is this NS 2016?

[idle matrix]

no this is curved road

[blazing lichen]

calling it curved sky rn

[idle matrix]

lol

[blazing lichen]

lol

man so many mods not enough time

i really only got into the stalker scene last may

[idle matrix]

i wouldn't say to go out of your way for this one, but if you ever want to replay SoC but not necessarily vanilla, it seems pretty decent so far

guess what it gets worse when controller psi field vfx are added

[blazing lichen]

man it looks like you're about to enter a spacial anomaly and reality is breaking around you

[idle matrix]

killed the controller, gave the guy his weapon back, no reward. op-2 moment

[blazing lichen]

💀

i paused op2.2 idk if im ready for such a huge commitment tbh

[idle matrix]

He did say we'd meet again sometime so maybe it'll come up later

[blazing lichen]

yeah its gotta be for a big return down the road

[idle matrix]

well the sky started working again, maybe that's my reward

[upbeat coral]

Try deleting the shader cache

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral these maps are huge in the exception

[idle matrix]

Well the one stash here had a mica, worthwhile trip I guess

Oh yeah the mod increases your belt limit to 10 so balance is pretty much out the window. Just in a rare case of it being in your favor

[idle matrix]

Weird to say about that mod but there ar QoL things about it I miss in other mods. GPS beacons/placeable stashes that mark themselves on your map and list the contents? A+ feature. Trading in quest items you don't need anymore for some one time rewards? Also nice. Repeatable quests with semi-randomization for rewards? I like it

Of course everything is a double edged sword so for every great stash system type feature there is a "but you have to place them out of bounds if you don't want your stuff stolen constantly" feature

Barter system is pretty good and well thought out, which is handy because marked one will seemingly do anything for no pay

[upbeat coral]

Yes

But please
Play one mod at a time
Otherwise you will get lost in the stories and wont enjoy them as much

[blazing lichen]

fair yeah just testing to see if it worked i have one more day off so just doing a bunch of downloading now vs later

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

[idle matrix]

Yeah try to do one at a time

[upbeat coral]

Also
If you didnt use the fsgame I sent you, the mod wouldnt even start because of shader cache
And other mods would have horrible visual glitches

[blazing lichen]

oh haha fair good to know yeah i used your fsgame as a base for clean install of gog cop so no issues

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

I still have like 20 mods that share the same appdata folder
Gotta sort them

[idle matrix]

I specifically remember one OP-2 quest from voronin where the dialog to accept the quest is marked one trying to refuse and voronin just tells him to shut up and you get the mission anyway

[upbeat coral]

Voronin finally based?

[idle matrix]

Sometimes at least

[upbeat coral]

Lukash is still better tho
Altho Gevorg is objectively the best

[blazing lichen]

cleaned up stalker mod folder i hope i am becoming more based

[upbeat coral]

Peak

[blazing lichen]

deleted teamlite and other ones

[idle matrix]

But then he gives you this quest and any goodwill he earned is immediately erased forever

[upbeat coral]

Also
RTTN is ideal mod for you since Clear Sky has the best starting position

[dawn marten]

Can someone help me get rid of this medkit mod for the love of god im crashing out

I downloaded this slow healing mod, deleted it but the effects of the mod wont go

[blazing lichen]

💀

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

For which game?

[dawn marten]

Stalker 2

[upbeat coral]

Damn

No luck

[dawn marten]

im noob to pc and i just wanted to have some fun damn it

[idle matrix]

Oh this is the one I was talking about lmao

[upbeat coral]

I mean
If you deleted the file from thr gamefiles then it should be gone

[dawn marten]

does anyone know how to get in the effects config file

[blazing lichen]

sounds like a wild quest

[dawn marten]

i thought this, but heals take 30 secs still

[idle matrix]

Fortunately the first one is literally just to get the LMG and ammo. You only have to do the fight after that.

[dawn marten]

i think its permenantly messed the cfg file, i just dont know how to find it

[upbeat coral]

Verify files on steam

[dawn marten]

tried that, still didnt work

[upbeat coral]

Weird

[dawn marten]

i even installed a mod that makes healing instant, didnt work

[blazing lichen]

this is why i prefer vanilla if possible tbh
