[dawn marten]

yeah am starting to regret

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral i have decided im gonna lock into RTTN

[dawn marten]

i just wanted small rebalances

well i got what i asked for

[upbeat coral]

Good choice

[dawn marten]

does deleting the game get rid of all modded files?

[upbeat coral]

I mean
With the mods you have installed
Theres no bad choice

Also
For love of god dont choose female character
The breathing on low stamina (so like 90% of the time) is genuenly the WORST most annoying sound Ive ever heard in a game

[blazing lichen]

I'll keep that in mind

Ayo what about stalker and mutant pop levels should I keep them vanilla for the true experience @upbeat coral?

idk if this for stability reasons or fitting the theme of the zone

[upbeat coral]

Do whatever you want
The engine can handle it

Altho some have experienced duping of important NPCs (such as Cardan) on hugh population levels

[blazing lichen]

fair i just didnt know if they had it at that for their intended vision of the story

[idle matrix]

My experience is there are enough mutants on the default settings

[upbeat coral]

Oh yeah
Definitely enough mutants
But barely any Stalkers iirc

[idle matrix]

The mod is pretty challenging

[blazing lichen]

maybe ill just leave the pop size alone and play how RTTN devs intended

[upbeat coral]

Man I love the new mutants in it

[blazing lichen]

??

[upbeat coral]

I think theres 3

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

I did that iirc

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

Also
Dont shoot Bayuns
I beg you

[blazing lichen]

id die letting them attack me before hurting them ong

i tend to leave most mutants alone unless they come at me first or i need parts for quests

well aside from the bloodsucker lair in cop those mfs had to die

[idle matrix]

Im glad I screenshot some of the dialogue from OP-2 because eventually marked one develops a sixth sense for when he is about to be asked to do some complete nonsense. This is the start of the conversation

[blazing lichen]

aye haha i do that aswell

lol from cotz

im gonna have to take a million pics of op 2.2 so i dont forget info

[upbeat coral]

I shoot them all
Except for Bayuns

[quasi ore]

i saw a ghost. i was minding my own business looting monolith scum at zaton when suddenly this bro started running in one direction. i was like ok sure get that body but then he VANISHED!?!? gone in the blink of an eye! the zone has a amazing effect on the human mind!

[quasi ore]

im playing cotz and i came across this gun in ao3. i uh im confused. it does not fit in with ao3 it looks like a original stalker gun

i would like to part it out of ao3

[blazing lichen]

it deff does NOT look like a trilogy weapon but idk just not use it ? if you dont know what you're doing dont go messing around

[quasi ore]

which one of these odd looking designs do you prefer more. the classic aug (i dont know of any funny nickname for it) or even weirder tactical tuna itself. the f2000 from a belgian company

[idle matrix]

the f2000 is a stalker classic

[quasi ore]

how do i fix this? when i aim down sights (for the overlay) the gun model it is goes too far to the left (this is as best of a screenshot i can get without the overlay since its too fast

its worse then the screenshot shows

is there a way i can have it so the overlay shows up 1 milisecond ealier?

[lone bridge]

Playing anomaly again and can't remember if there is a guide in Cordon.

Though I swear there should be.

[upbeat coral]

No

You will travel through empty maps YOURSELF
And you WILL LIKE IT

[upper zodiac]

For a second I wasn't sure you were talking about Anomaly or Stalker 2 lmao

[loud breach]

Stalker 2 is a mod for Anomaly.

[lone bridge]

I got the radio mod for Anomaly and wow, it has Nirvana on it.

[loud breach]

@upbeat coral ANOMOLY MENTIONED

[upbeat coral]

Grrrr
4 cats

[blazing lichen]

play call of the zone

@upbeat coralthoughts on DSH?

[upbeat coral]

Id rather be tortured than to play that thing

[blazing lichen]

fair i kept seeing it in c-con but theres like no in english youtube videos

not gonna play it at this point in time but was curious

[wind scaffold]

DSH ?

[blazing lichen]

a punishing mix of O.P 2.09 and NLC 7 it is NOT for the faint of heart

there is only 1 difficulty setting and its set at hardcore

[wind scaffold]

English songs in stalker is kind of cringe. Only soviet/slavic songs.

[wind scaffold]

I always play on master. Difficulty dont really mean anything in stalker.

[blazing lichen]

this isnt normal master diff lol

you played NLC 7 right?

[wind scaffold]

No, but i know that its hard. I get what you meant.

[blazing lichen]

all good haha i wanna try it but i dont even feel ready and ive beaten the trilogy and cotz on master

im not ready to get tortured

[wind scaffold]

I wait until i complete Clear Sky to "unlock" mods for trilogy.

Also, what your thoughts about Sigerious mod, dudes ?

[blazing lichen]

just googled it it looks cool tbh i'll have to give it a try

[wind scaffold]

If i understand right, its Call of Pripyat but more maps and more story. this is what CoP needed.

So, There is Oblivion lost remake 2.5 and 3.0, which is better ? There is no point to download 2.5 ?

[blazing lichen]

downloaded and saved for later

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral thoughts ?

i feel he would know as i never played OL before

[upbeat coral]

2.5 is more stable and more casual experience

Altho 3.0 has better tasks and A-Life
Like actual FULL Alife as described in the desdocs

[blazing lichen]

AYO

they have 3.1 now which adds to it

[upbeat coral]

Nuh uh

Thats OL

Not OLR

[blazing lichen]

ah

sorry

[upbeat coral]

No idea why they called the mod OL
Thats like calling your mod Anarchy Cell

[blazing lichen]

[wind scaffold]

So, 3.0 is the choice. FULL A-life is what every stalker fan wants.

[upbeat coral]

YES HIFLYER GIVE ME MORE RATACOMBS I BEG YOU

[blazing lichen]

is OLR standalone or needs clean install of SoC?

[upbeat coral]

Me when catacombs:

Me when Ratacombs

[upbeat coral]

Standalone

[blazing lichen]

👑

[upbeat coral]

Altho if you decide to play older versions I would choose Vector of Alienation over OLR

[blazing lichen]

ratacombs with plague rats 😳

[upbeat coral]

Better writing

[upbeat coral]

Plague cats

[blazing lichen]

id die without firing a shot

[blazing lichen]

👑

[wind scaffold]

Also can you give me example of FULL a-life in 3.0 ?

Did NPC can complete game without player ?

[upbeat coral]

That too
But more importantly they go and hunt for artifacts, they explore labs, they can even take the loot they found and sell it to traders

Its awesome

[blazing lichen]

That's based as hell I got olr 3.0 downloaded for the future

I wish cotz had this alife

[frozen oak]

When are we getting half life cockroach ai

[blazing lichen]

?

[wind scaffold]

Cockroach in half life have their own Ai. Its meme because its useless, but developer did it.

[frozen oak]

It’s fairly complex ai too

[ruby dragon]

Do i have to remove my UETools mod for the new patch or am I good to leave it installed? I only have console commands to fix broken cutscenes

[idle matrix]

If an updated version is put out I'd upgrade to it. I left an older version installed before some previous patches and it caused some issues for me

[upbeat coral]

Man Predzonie is so goddamn broken
I have no chance of fixing the map

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

my mod will never see the light of a day
||(to be honest it probably wouldnt see light of a day even if the map wasnt totally borked)||

[blazing lichen]

man thats a bummer id play it

[upbeat coral]

well you wouldnt
with the speed I work at nobody would

[blazing lichen]

@civic patrol here is a good channel

[blazing lichen]

fair haha

[civic patrol]

Ye way better

Ima brb switching to my pc

[upbeat coral]

only plausible way to do it would be if I had a team
someone for tasks, someone for levels, etc.
but lets be honest
not only are there not many of such people in the EN community, but those that are here have better stuff to work on

[wind scaffold]

OLR 3.0 have some bad reviews, it was year ago but still. What bad can you say about 3.0 ?

[upbeat coral]

unstable, stupidly difficult, bugged as hell

its a beta after all

[idle matrix]

It's cool but still very beta

[upbeat coral]

but in MOTY 2024 on Ap-Pro it was in top three

so the reviews are kinda outdated at this point

[wind scaffold]

Still beta ? Well, i downloaded when it was alpha, maybe. Hope its not that bad.

See it after RTTN.

[upbeat coral]

well again
in MOTY it recieved 14% of all votes

results here

[idle matrix]

Will this be the year New Project finally releases

[true iris]

Hey all, launching the new patch update now, will this likely mess up some mods or should it be ok?

[upbeat coral]

yes

[true iris]

Yes it’ll be ok or Yes it’s gonna mess everything up?😂

[upbeat coral]

yes

[true iris]

Everything seems fine

[true iris]

Yes

[pallid thorn]

hrm, i wish Ram- [AHEM] Sky Renewal had more detailed documentation. since the reuploaded page is pretty barren of comments it's tough figuring out what can and what can't be compatible with it

[blazing lichen]

just learned OGSR GS has working pips

[fallow sedge]

90% of the time you can just try to combine gamedatas and if there is no overwrite prompt then mods are compatible

[wind scaffold]

damn, Stalker 2 have frogs... Want mod for trilogy that adds frogs.

[loud breach]

[wind scaffold]

Damn, stalker frooog.

[loud breach]

trilogy has frogs, just make a burer take his coat off

[upbeat coral]

There is

Made by Den Stash iirc

[upbeat coral]

@wild rock do you still have Dollchan installed?

[wild rock]

No.I did finish the mod a long time ago tho

If you want any advice for the most,ask me

[upbeat coral]

No no
I needed the PDA maps from the gamefiles

Welp

[wild rock]

I see

I'll look up online then

If I can't find them,then I'll install It again

[upbeat coral]

[tardy oak]

Continuing here

Well, this is the error message I get

• Installed the game
• Installed the Complete MOD (1.5 version) as per instructions, I put the gamedata, appdata, bin, 4k,1440p fonts, fsgame.ltx into the game folder, the "gamedata" line of text is set to true in fsgame.ltx
• Used 4gb patch on the .exe in the bin
• Checked to run the game in administrator
• Added smap4096 -nocache -noprefetch onto the shortcut

I launch it, it boots up to a black screen, 10 seconds later crash and that's the message

It worked once, following the exact same thing, but I wanted to add Russian dubbing, once I added it the game started crashing

I've reinstalled over 20 times at this point, both the mods, the game as well

What did I do wrong? @fallow sedge

[fallow sedge]

The error you’re showing is useless, real log is located in appdata/logs. did vanilla game work before?

[tardy oak]

It did yes

[fallow sedge]

Complete is a terrible mod to start with, not gonna lie. But if that’s your second playthrough it’s ok

[tardy oak]

Don't have that

[tardy oak]

Yeah, idk, I've read that the game is pretty buggy and things in vanilla

Just looking for a mod that is like, normal

Don't want to run into bugs and so on

[fallow sedge]

It works out of the box. Most bugs in the game are Bethesda-style funny shit, not gamebreaking. It’s perfectly playable vanilla.

If you absolutely want to avoid bugs there is ZRP mod but it changes gameplay too. Complete is ZRP mod + graphics. And to be honest it ruins a very unique artstyle that SoC has

For your first experience with the game it’s not recommended at all, all you are doing is getting a wrong impression. Play the game as intended, mod later.

[tardy oak]

So should I just ditch it and play Vanilla? What difficulty? Although, I'd like at least the Russian dub, would make it more immersive I think

[fallow sedge]

English dub already has only scenario lines voiced, most of the non-storyline phrases are not dubbed. The game also has no subtitles so if you go wtih Russian/Ukrainian VA you will miss what NPCs are saying sometimes and it may be important for the story.

[tardy oak]

Alright, ditching every mod

[fallow sedge]

Vanilla is fine, if you do encounter something gamebreaking you can always install ZRP mod later but it is not just an unofficial patch

[tardy oak]

Already got frustrated plenty with this bs

[fallow sedge]

It will change stuff beyond fixes so only get it IF you ever need it. 99% of the time you will experience the game fine out of the box.

[upbeat coral]

ZRP

[tardy oak]

Any difficulty you'd recommend, I've never played any of these games?

[upbeat coral]

you can always change it later on

[fallow sedge]

You can change it after you set it. The game was developed for Master in mind, other difficulties came later for weak journos. If you find yourself struggling at any point, you can lower it in settings.

[tardy oak]

Alright, thank you

[fallow sedge]

So I say start with highest and lower if you struggle. Do note that the game has quite harsh gear progression, first few guns you’ll get a hold of are peashooters but you can get middle tier stuff pretty quickly and then gunplay will improve

Aim for the head and try to get closer to land a shot with your first pistol

[tardy oak]

Thank you

[upbeat coral]

SurDno
you mentioned bunch of the supposed S2 2011 mutant concepts are fake
could you tell me which ones are real?

[pallid thorn]

nah, you can install the rus undub plus caption mod

source: just finished a playthrough with it

[pallid thorn]

I personally play on master. There's a silly misconception around stalker that the difficulties are coded wrong and on easier difficulties the enemies die quicker but that's not the case. https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/curcq5/addressing_the_silly_master_difficulty_myth_in/

[pallid thorn]

anyway, as for the mods I'd tell you to try, despite the hemming and hawing of veterans you can absolutely play with ZRP with no tangible issues. if you want the undub stick to zrp 1.7 rather than the latest. if you give me some time i might be able to find the links to the undub and sub mods as well

[fallow sedge]

ZRP changes lore and gameplay of the game, for the first experience there is no good reason to use it.

Mod the game after you know what you are changing. Otherwise you'll end up thinking mod additions are part of base game.

[pallid thorn]

anyone who legitimately wishes to play with fixes out of their own free will can do so. you have expressed your opinion and I have expressed mine. I don't think ZRP is a significant enough a departure to warrant invalidating a first time playthrough experience. I take some umbrage to the idea that people's personal free time must necesarily adhere to a code of conduct.

[fallow sedge]

Oh it's not about adhering to a part of conduct, they're free to play Gamma for first time if they wish so. They just should be aware that there is no mod that just fixes the game and does not do anything else that contadicts developer intentions and vision.

If they only care about the fixes ZRP provides, they may easily install it mid playthrough if they do happen to encounter an issue.

@loud breach adhered to baseless advice that the game is so buggy it can't be played without the mod but later replayed it vanilla and concluded that it's totally fine.

[pallid thorn]

As for the dub firstly instal zrp 1.7, not the latest as i said above, choose either russian or ukr, yes they are different, i can only vouch for the russian version being compatible out of my own personal experience (https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/russian-audio) (https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/soc-v106-ukr-patch)

and then use the sub mod adaptation from reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/bf55c3/comment/eln1419/

[fallow sedge]

It's just misleading to say that ZRP is "playing with fixes". It's a mod that does fix issues of original game, but it goes beyond that. Ultimately, if your goal is to experience SoC, you would likely want to play SoC, not someone else's vision of how it should play.

[loud breach]

It's not the best to use me as evidence for playing vanilla first as I played with ZRP first. I don't know what would my experience be like had I first played vanilla.

It definitely pays off to play vanilla if you plan to be a part of the community as it puts you on the common denominator with other players.

I'm yet to visit Pripyat so I don't know how bad those crashes really are.

[raw nexus]

gamma got updated

[loud breach]

did they update the tree models yet or am I supposed to stare at my gun all the time?

[blazing lichen]

G*mma

[loud breach]

HD guns in Stalker look like a boob job on a granny.

[blazing lichen]

Ong

[orchid berry]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[blazing lichen]

I prefer trilogy graphics over gamma tbh

[raw nexus]

fun fact :

im playing not gamma

it is a custom modpack with over 130mods

[orchid berry]

Bro modded Fallout 4 to look like GAMMA

[raw nexus]

my modpack has gamma guns + extra guns

[raw nexus]

LOL HOW YOU KNOW

[wild yacht]

that's commitment right there to ensure that none of the original Stalker experience is there

[raw nexus]

fr i once tried modding fallout into gamma because i thought for gamma u had to own the og trilogy

[raw nexus]

250 mods max limit reached at vortex

[raw nexus]

disagree it still has the vanilla crafting system

[upbeat coral]

BaS is the single ugliest most out of place looking gunpack ever made

Absolute dogshit

[raw nexus]

10% of my guns are bas

[raw nexus]

bas looks pretty bad compared to other reanimation mods

[upbeat coral]

Thats 11% more than there should be

[raw nexus]

soi have so many new guns

[loud breach]

why do you need 10 different shotguns, I bet they all work the same anyway

[raw nexus]

variety

[upbeat coral]

Ah yes
Bloat is variety

They all play the same and you will not use more than two anyways

[raw nexus]

no i will use like 10+

[upbeat coral]

Uh huh

sure

[raw nexus]

early game i will use 2

[loud breach]

does Gamma add anything beyond 100+ guns and 100+ drugs?

[upbeat coral]

Bad balance

Thats internal part of the gameplay

Also artificial difficulty and extra tedious mechanics

[raw nexus]

artifical difficulity max trash progression

[upbeat coral]

Also
2 cats

Pay up pucko

[loud breach]

"max trash progression"? what's that

[raw nexus]

cant buy guns need to craft and scavenge everything

cant buy armors too

[loud breach]

wtf

so there are no traders? and this is by default?

[raw nexus]

there is traders but they only sell ammo

and attachment

[raw nexus]

yeah thats by default

u can still buy medic items and food

[loud breach]

but that's a Gamma thing, right? Anomaly doesn't do that?

[upbeat coral]

Basically they make the game extremely player centered

[raw nexus]

yeah gamma thing

[upbeat coral]

Which is just big brain move in openworld game with life simulation

[loud breach]

I'm not that big on crafting tbh, scavenging for parts reminds of MMOs that do it only so you have more things to waste time on.

[upbeat coral]

Anyways

2 more cats

3 actually

[loud breach]

[raw nexus]

4

[upbeat coral]

Thats no cat

Which mod prevents enemies from shooting you through bushes? I have zero visibility of the enemy through bushes yet they are able to clearly see me at night from a long distance and shoot with perfect accuracy, can someone please recommend me a mod which resolves this terrible issue? Thanks

[wind scaffold]

Mods name "Walls". Also recommend to use with it "Solid object" and "Other covers".

[true iris]

Perfect many thanks, where can I find these mods?

[wind scaffold]

Its already in the game. You just need some guide to use it.

[true iris]

Ahaaa now I know what you mean! funny fker😂 I was about to type those names into Nexus mods ffs🙄

[wind scaffold]

Just crouch and use buttons Q or E to lean from the cover.

Bushes is not reliable cover.

[upbeat coral]

If you want to mod the game into something else, why even play it

[pallid thorn]

Okay, why do we have the mod channel then?

Let's just shut it down if every discussion on mods will have to have the preamble of "mods are the devil's work, adhere to the mighty vision of the dev".

Much more productive to fist educate the newbies on how to formulate a request for assistance while also educating them on why it might be unnecessary. Ultimately it is their choice alone. We are here to give them the information necessary for an informed decision.

[loud breach]

that's a zombie

[blazing lichen]

not in this mod

im not sure what they are called in russian as this has been english translated

[upbeat coral]

To talk about mods
Obviously

[pallid thorn]

Ah, yeah. Slimes was one of the original names of proposed warring clans of bandits in oblivion lost iirc. Second wassssss....a band reference. I forget which.

[wind scaffold]

To talk about story mods, freeplay mods, not about some useless "mod that allows hide in bushes". Its not Skyrim or Assassins Creed, its Stalker - Hide behind solid object and press Q or E.

Maybe.

But its useless, still.

[loud breach]

a mod that would lower bot accuracy shooting through bushes sounds pretty good tbh

what about discussing Anomaly?

do they? they get bullied every time from what I've seen

[wind scaffold]

I am me. If i decide that its useless nothing changes, its just my opinion. Want this mod ? Ok, i dont care, but its useless because there is better covers than bushes.

[wind scaffold]

Is it that hard to see person in armor with weapon in mostly thansparent bushes ?

[wind scaffold]

Govnomaly.

We should joke about this mode, if newbie start with them, not even completed original trilogy.

[loud breach]

it doesn't matter, you can't police what mods people want, that's the entire point of mods - people play how they want

[wind scaffold]

I dont do it do it. Its okay if you want it, but its useless for me.

[loud breach]

yeah you didn't make it sound like it's just your opinion

[wind scaffold]

What do you mean ?

[loud breach]

"it's useless"

"all gamma players are stupid"

vs "it's useless for me"

[wind scaffold]

I didnt say this.

Good for you.

[loud breach]

just giving you an example of a blanket statement, similar to what you wrote

[wind scaffold]

Well, i say "its useless", so its, for me, automaticaly becomes for others, "its useless for me", "its useless in my opinion".

[loud breach]

no, you were dismissive "To talk about story mods, freeplay mods, not about some useless 'mod that allows hide in bushes'. "

cmon

you're trying to police what mods can be discussed here

[wind scaffold]

Let me say this, we talk about mod that dont even exist.

[upbeat coral]

Screw you pig!
YOU WILL NEVER GET ME ALIVE

[wind scaffold]

I cant even do it. Its just stupid.

[loud breach]

literally not an argument lol, people can't talk about hypothetical mods?

[wind scaffold]

Ok, its not me who decide it. I said that because i see this channel like this.

[civic pewter]

I want a hypothetical:
Anarchy Cell Remake

[wind scaffold]

What is it ?

[loud breach]

are there any player stats for Anomaly/Gamma? how many people play it?

[wind scaffold]

Just look at how many people downloaded it.

[raw nexus]

over 500k have downloaded gamma

[loud breach]

337k downloads of the latest version

[raw nexus]

latest version is trash

crashes a lot

some guns crash like ak 105 swamp thing

play gamma

[loud breach]

what lol

[wind scaffold]

"Dont gatekeeping people from playing mods."

[wind scaffold]

A lot better.

[upbeat coral]

OLR but Clear Sky

(peak)

[loud breach]

play Anomaly

[wind scaffold]

Good. Add to download list.

[upbeat coral]

Sadly from what I know, all mods attempting to do this are dead

So
No ACR for us

[upbeat coral]

I did
Its shit
Move on

[wind scaffold]

A lot better.

[upbeat coral]

Yes
But not nearly as many as SoC

[loud breach]

you played it for like 20 minutes, you don't have a right to an opinion

[wind scaffold]

GATEKEEPER !!!!

[wind scaffold]

Dont be like that. He have all rights.

[upbeat coral]

I finished it three times to see if theres something new each playthrough

(spoiler: There isnt)

[loud breach]

you can FINISH it? I thought it was an endless sandbox

[upbeat coral]

It has stinky poopy story that can be finished

Freeplay itself cannot be finished (unless you go after custom goal, but then there wont be a real ending)

[wind scaffold]

Which playthrough was the best ?

[upbeat coral]

Probably the first one

Rest was just more and more irritating cuz theres 0 actual shit to do outside the story

No sidequests to carry it or anything, always the same

[loud breach]

so why do people play it?

[wind scaffold]

Chymo praised Anomaly. Screenshot it.

[wind scaffold]

Because.

[upbeat coral]

Like
With Jekans mods theres always something, even a little thing, that will surprise you on each playthrough
A new detail you missed, dialogue option that lead to new mission

[upbeat coral]

I didnt
I just said that of the three runs I did, first one was least boring

[wind scaffold]

Its enough for this mod.

[upbeat coral]

If I had to praise it I would say something like "they did great job making people believe anomaly is an original mod despite being a shitpack with no content of its own"

[loud breach]

"Anomaly is the real Stalker"

[upbeat coral]

Because retards will tell them shit ton of lies about both anomaly and other mods effectively making them believe no other mod is worth trying and anomaly is just the best thing ever

And since those people wont go and try said other mods they will never find out what dogshit of a lie that is

They just dont know any better

Nearly every mod had that for some reason

[loud breach]

wtf XD

[wild yacht]

certain hardcore milsim youtubers particularly

Why "Even teamlite" ? Its bad ?

Never played tbh

[wind scaffold]

Bad, its DEAD AIR.

[blazing lichen]

Where's live air mod

[upbeat coral]

Decent
Its got cool features and clear creative vision
But I wouldnt play it personally

Dead Air is cool because it has its style and creative vision

Certainly better than most of the other Misery based mods

Too bad we never got version 1.0
It could have been really good

Working seasons, full player model, grass colision etc
Kinda like what AREA did but less ass

[blazing lichen]

We missed out on peak

[wind scaffold]

Tempting to play Dead air again. But memories about how artificially hard its is still fresh.

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

Its not for everyone but its pretty good at what it does

I also like the details it has
And the few handmade tasks it has

Like having to sneak into the southern checkpoint and silently disable the loudspeaker
Or bringing RPG to bandits at ATP just for them to go and blow up the stalker base at farm with it

But hey
You get sawn off Mosin so its worth it

[wind scaffold]

RPG. If we talk about RPG then what good mod with RPG elements you can recommend ?

[upbeat coral]

Legend Returns

And uhh
I guess In Spite of the Death: In Hells Center counts
But the mod itself is kinda boring

Also Lost Alpha but thats just...

[wind scaffold]

Lost alpha or Lost alpha remake ?

[upbeat coral]

I think all versions have it

[blazing lichen]

You can find legends return 0.9.2 on the ap pro site still

It's not on moddb atm

[upbeat coral]

But Im not really sure
I only played 1.4007 DC

[wind scaffold]

I download only from that site.

[blazing lichen]

Fair

I don't really use that site to much as most of what I can find is on moddb

[upbeat coral]

Character stat upgrades mainly

Like better accuracy, carry weight etc

[blazing lichen]

It's super neat ngl

[wind scaffold]

Oooh, LOST ALPHA, not Oblivion lost. Not interested. Legend Returns better.

[upbeat coral]

ISOTD also has so you need certain rank to be able to barter for certain items

[loud breach]

Escape from LA

[upbeat coral]

Like
You want heavy suit?
Need rank 30 or something

[upbeat coral]

Man
I just joined and gotta say
Stalker BOSS THE CREATOR OF BOSSPACK is based as hell

[blazing lichen]

Based af

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

Not based bosspack is anomaly 🗿

[upbeat coral]

Also
D Lite
Ive made this map chart (mostly using ISOTD3 maps) and I could use some feedback
Could you check it out?

Ewww
Discord is pro-Duty

[blazing lichen]

Sure I'm just about to head back to work but I can take a peak on lunch break @upbeat coral

[upbeat coral]

Ill send it over in a while

Its also like 70MB since the picture itself is 12000x12000px iirc

Also its not a PNG but a PND or PDN or whatever its called
So you may need paint.net to open it

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen multilayer one (open using paint.net)

and the PNG

dang
its too big to even embed

[loud breach]

What mod has kots?

[upbeat coral]

many
Goldsphere, Return to the Zone, The Exception, Road to the North and many more Im forgetting

[lone bridge]

I just installed more mods and now I am getting this error what do I do? Mod list and error on photos.

[upbeat coral]

uninstall the mods
DUH

also
these pop ups are useless
all useful info is in logs

also aslo
youre better off asking in the anomaly server
link in pinned

[loud breach]

oh no, you helped someone with Anomaly

[upbeat coral]

you already owe me like 6 cat pictures you filthy donkey

[blazing lichen]

Ngl I really like this setup

I like this map put here

Could connect it

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
I just need to find a path to connect it to
The map is called Zorin and it has road on both southern and northern end

[wind scaffold]

Delete anomaly. It is ANOMALY in stalker modding, because it is shit.

[upbeat coral]

Real

Oh also
Have you seen the Darkscape @blazing lichen?
Its an edit I would like to make myself once I understand mapping better

[blazing lichen]

It's so peak

I'll have to look more in depth when I'm home at computer but I'm really liking what I see

[upbeat coral]

The idea is that not all maps would be accessible
They would be split across multiple mods/stories that all share the same global map
But only 4-6 maps would be accessible in each
Kinda like Jekan does it in RTTZ

[blazing lichen]

Ngl I like that idea alot

Makes maps and exploration matter more

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
If I managed to do it like Jekan (multiple stories in single mod) I could even integrate a freeroam mode where all map transitions would be available at all times

[blazing lichen]

I'd prefer smaller more locked in story mod tbh

Like jekan does it

[upbeat coral]

Its just a possibility
Honestly it would be a waste not to make it a full singular map
But then
It would probably be like 30GB in size so
Maybe splitting it across multiple mods would be better than the was RTTZ does it

[wind scaffold]

I unlocked mods. I finished Clear Sky. Gauss Sniping Gunslinger was hard, but i managed to do it.

[upbeat coral]

You can shoot, quicksave, quickload
And it will not only get Strelok stuck but also skip the firing cooldown on your Gauss rifle

[wind scaffold]

Its cheating. I could just use trainer or cheat codes for instant kill and imortality.

But im glad that i finished game. Its a lot better than Call of Prypiat.

So much new features, new locations and Boss Helicopter.

[upbeat coral]

Its a feature
Just like the teleporter at swamps that throws you to Limansk is a feature

[wind scaffold]

Also, did stalker have screenshot button ?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

F12

Also if you use demo_record command and press F11 it will make a satelite view screenshot of the map
Its how the PDA maps were made

[wind scaffold]

I have this single survivor after final emission after game ending.
He was late for work.

[upbeat coral]

Dang

Poor man

[raw nexus]

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

hidden gem

unfortunately it didnt got updated

[civic pewter]

and F11 + Control is for "high quality level-screenshots", i learn it in OLR 3.0

[dawn plume]

I wonder...is there a mod that adds the XM-8?

[wind scaffold]

Is there a way to get on top of CNPP in clear sky without mods after end of the game ?

[upbeat coral]

Dead City Epilogue iirc

[upbeat coral]

The map should be same as SoC
So there should he some ladders at the south west side

[upbeat coral]

Peak

[wind scaffold]

They break all ladders... I cant find how to get there. I need higher jump.

[wind scaffold]

Im at right place ?

[upbeat coral]

I think there are stairs on the wall thats just east of you

[wind scaffold]

No other stairs on that wall.

Another stairs but cant climb on it, broken.

[wind scaffold]

There is one that lead to roof, but it surrounded by fence that cant be jumped over.

[civic pewter]

A level of the next mod of VIVIENT Team:

[lone bridge]

I just got through defend the border from zombies and god damn. This is why I need a buddy with a SAW.

[upbeat coral]

ISOTD level

Peak

I think
Dont know who else would make something like that

Also
Is it in Atribut or are they back to modding?

[upbeat coral]

That gave me goosebumps

Ewwwie

[loud breach]

so you're excited?

[wild rock]

And just like that,the journey begins

Hopefully,this is the right channel for Stalker mods

[upbeat coral]

Hell no

[upbeat coral]

The PDA maps please

[wild rock]

I'll send them to you once I get home from school

Expect cat pics too

[blazing lichen]

PP is PEAK

https://www.moddb.com/mods/prosectors-project-english-translation/downloads/prosectors-project-fix-6-repack

[civic pewter]

This level is from the sequel of Attribute, they back

[upbeat coral]

wait
Is Atribut ever getting finished tho?

I still dont get how I missed the news tho
checked their profile not long ago

[civic pewter]

Attribute is a DEMO, it in the same state of "Contract For a Good Life 2"

[upbeat coral]

joever

[blissful raven]

Hey are there mods that reduce the recoil of the weapons?

[blazing lichen]

In what game

[wheat haven]

Done all games in trilogy and confused of what mod to try first 🥴
Which are ones can be considered as "Golden Classic Sidorovich Approved (tm)" by 2025?

[upbeat coral]

its better to start easy
mods like Path in the Mist and Valley of Whispers should be perfect for that

[wild yacht]

I’ve heard good things about Call of Chernobyl

[upbeat coral]

[wild yacht]

Hey at least I didn’t say Anomaly or Gamma

[upbeat coral]

yeah but CoC is old and boring
no reason to play it when Call of th Zone and Legend Returns exist

[wild yacht]

Fair

[wheat haven]

Ah, excuse me
I played those
Valley of Whispers is awesome yet quite short
PitM is... well Cordon was nice tho after that location the quality of content goes down ||ending up wtih helicopter boss 💀 ||

[upbeat coral]

what other mods have you played?

[wheat haven]

CoC

Really tried Misery

[wheat haven]

Tried Anomaly a bit, realised it was made by russians and threw it in the trash

[upbeat coral]

it wasnt made by russians

also thats probably the last reason to dislike it

[wheat haven]

So there just was some russians in the devteam?

[upbeat coral]

also also 90% of good mods are made by russians

[wheat haven]

🚬

[upbeat coral]

no idea really
but its built around Last Day which was made by Russians

anyways

these mods I consider good:

Spatial Anomaly
Return to the Zone
Vector of Alienation
Secrets of Cordon
Road to the North
Incubator
Dreamcatcher
Sins of the Legend
Winter Sniper
Thorny Way
Messenger
Bad Company Remaster
Bad Company 2
Trapped
The Exception
Calm after the Storm
Sins of the Scholar
Game of Souls: Beginning
Game of Souls: Excelsior
Creature in the Mist
Borland's Story

[wheat haven]

Thank you

[upbeat coral]

also
what do you want from these mods?
Like new maps or something?

[wheat haven]

Good story I guess, polished (more or less), sorta balanced without electric chimera stealing your butt in the first bushes you meet

[upbeat coral]

oh
dont play Trapped then

[wheat haven]

How so?

[upbeat coral]

its basically a dungeon crawler
story is sidelined and entire gameplay consists of running through never ending lab system looking for door codes to get into other labs while the mod throws copious amounts of mutants such as burers at you

[wheat haven]

Oh nooo hahaha

Not my thing for sure

[upbeat coral]

its a cool mod tho
mostly becausee of ho many new underground areas it lets you explore

also due to having virtually no story, you can play it even as vanilla only player

[wheat haven]

Tho I like its depressive atmosphere but its so hardcore its just... feels like the game kicks me into a pile of mud with military boots

[upbeat coral]

its just poorly balanced
not even hardcore
and easy to abuse if you memorise SGM stashes

[wheat haven]

I was reading that Misery becomes not that hard if you pass the hellish start aka hobo mode

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[wheat haven]

But don't want to fact check it 🥴

[upbeat coral]

I mean
its not really hard anyways
just poorly balanced and tedious

[wheat haven]

Probably might try it last

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[wheat haven]

Thanks again man

[upbeat coral]

the mutant spam doesnt get that bad untill like last three labs so
till then its pretty fun

[wheat haven]

Is Lost Alpha worth it?
I remember it was quite popular long ago but never tried it

[upbeat coral]

maps are really cool
rest of the mod is really not cool

[wheat haven]

The rest you meant uhhhh

Cut content ones?

[upbeat coral]

story, balance, gameplay, tasks

[upbeat coral]

oh poor you
you think Lost Alpha is build restoration mod

[wheat haven]

Nah its not

[wild yacht]

Oh speaking of mods, one of my friends wanted to try out the CoP co-op mod, is it worth it?

[wheat haven]

I'm aware of it

[upbeat coral]

its as fun as CoP gets

[wheat haven]

It started as restoration mod and ended up like "you know what, we are doing our own stuff"

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[wild yacht]

nice

[wheat haven]

OLR is restoration mod which is... quite uncanny

[upbeat coral]

the new stuff is kinda ass
and they didnt keep any consistency with cut stuff so things from completely different development periods are just mushed together in this frankenstein of a mod

[upbeat coral]

OLR good

[wheat haven]

Then why its not on your list you've posted? 🤭

[upbeat coral]

theres VoA

which is OLR with improved writing essentially

[wheat haven]

Oh ok

Yeah, I see

[civic pewter]

The X-7

¿You remember if exists burers in the X-7?
I playing TRAPPED with Gunslinger Addon, the X-8 was terrible

[upbeat coral]

ewwie
Gunslinger

also I dont know about Burers
the whole mod kinda blends together for me

[wheat haven]

What's wrong about this one?

[upbeat coral]

its boring, doesnt let you multitask, doesnt let you cancel out an action once the animation starts playing
makes the game slow and unfun
only good feature are visualized gun upgrades

[blissful raven]

Stalker 2

[wild rock]

Dollchan 8 Infinity locations in order:Cordon,Great Swamps,Dark Valley,Garbage(Junkyard as It's called in the mod) and RostoK.

Zaton,Army Warehouses/Barrier,Radar/Red Forrest,Lab X-10 and Agroprom.

[wild rock]

@upbeat coral Here you go,just as I promised.I've saved the best for last in #💬┃en_offtop

[upbeat coral]

great

altho
could you extract the .dds files straight from gamefiles?

should be in gamedata/textures/map

[wild rock]

Keep in mind,Chymo,that the locations in these pics are the playable ones.There's a 6 more(Yantar,Limansk,Limansk Hospital,CNPP and Pripyat),but these only appear on the PDA.

[upbeat coral]

damn
is that to tease next update?
I cant imagine why they would do that

[wild rock]

sadly I couldn't find any .dds files in any of the folders.I was only able to find XML files that I can't open

[upbeat coral]

damn
they probably have packed sources

[wild rock]

Idk about any new updates.There is a patch that you can apply to Dollchan but It's nothing special really.The 10 playable locations are still good tho.They have more soul than any stalker tactical slop.

[upbeat coral]

yeah

do you think you could maybe unpack the gamefiles and find the maps?

[wild rock]

how do you unpack gamefiles ?

[upbeat coral]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/stalker-database-unpacker-v12

you download and run this thing
rest is kinda self explanatory

[wild rock]

I'll try later.Really tired rn.Here's a video to show you how to download Dollchan.Instalation is simple https://youtu.be/KTLrMFbksTE?si=KvmtBuatEUzQUXVT

[upbeat coral]

I played it before
didnt like it, uninstalled long ago
with my internet being slow I dont really want to install a mod of this size just for few .dds files

[wild rock]

I understand.I'll try It tommorow then.I'll ask you If I need any help

[upbeat coral]

[wild rock]

tho I haven't found any .dds files,only .dll in the bin folder and that's It.I did find some textures in the texture folder,tried to open them and It didn't load up

[upbeat coral]

they may be packed in .DB files to save space

[wild rock]

I'll see,check #💬┃en_offtop for a cat(s) video

[cold isle]

is there a way to use debug menu in ZRP

[upbeat coral]

does SoC even have one?

[cold isle]

idk posts on reddit say they add -dbg to the launch paramenters for a console

but idk how to all that

[upbeat coral]

you make a shortcut
right click it
click properties
find target adress and add this

[cold isle]

this ?

[upbeat coral]

yes

[modern dew]

not sure if that's what you want. but if you installed ZRP, go into gamedata folder and there will be Modifier.exe. Run in, and in the list there is a section called Debug Options which has a bunch of options your can turn on (hover each checkbox to see details about it)

[unreal fable]

What standalone mod adds companions to SOC?

[lone bridge]

Yeah, the half life series OST definitely would fit STALKER.

[blazing lichen]

Zrp

[runic dome]

i tried to install iwp standalone, did everything right and when i tried to launch it nothing happens

it doesnt open, no error messages, no window, nothing (can anyone please help 😭)

[blazing lichen]

legends return prob has my favorite sounding low calibre smg

[wheat haven]

Mmm yessss Builds style GUI

[upbeat coral]

none

[raw nexus]

mod name?

[wheat haven]

I've read a bit about LR
Damn, looks promising
Gonna keep Spatial Anomaly for a little later

[neat dune]

andro2725 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

lmao
Get Wolf´d

[idle matrix]

Legend Returns is pretty cool. The available EN translations are pretty barebones but if that's okay it can be a good time

[wheat haven]

That's a matter of graphic settings preferences really

[blazing lichen]

^

[upbeat coral]

its hard to make custom anomalies in Xray not look whack

vanilla anomalies only look good because they are see through or only show up every few seconds

not to mention the pictures were taking on static lighting
if I had dynamic on it would be far less contrasting due to the light illuminating surroundings of these anomalies

Goldsphere is 2017 mod

this is 2012/2013

that this mod released far sooner when there were worse tools and less knowledge on modding

its all the same sprite, but it fades off as the anomaly moves

never said that
but people with less experience using (at the time) new tool wont know how to make it super nice
and now for trillionth time already
IT WOULD LOOK BETTER ON DYNAMIC LIGHTING

[blazing lichen]

People grow and get better overtime no need to shit on older work

[upbeat coral]

haters gonna hate

back to playing

[blazing lichen]

Rereading it I kinda jumped gun sorry about that

I actually paused my op 2.2 rn I finally found how to get legends return 0.9.2 and doing that first

Naw ill revisit it but really wanted to play LR since I learned of it's cool skill systems

Its pretty neat

[civic pewter]

Remember this:
The Max level is 25, only 25 points of skills

[wheat haven]

Yeah LR is actually nice I like it

It has a balance between modern taste of stalker modding and the old, pre-SoC design documents

[unreal fable]

It's fine, I found one.

[upbeat coral]

shrimpossible

[unreal fable]

Kamikaze Companions

[blazing lichen]

Hmm ill have to keep this in mind so far got one point in survival and repair

[wheat haven]

You know its sorta nice that NPCs looting others so you don't need to check every corpse

And yeah, repair prices is definitely something 🚬

[rich gate]

I might ask a pretty evil question

what gun mods does G word use

Gamma

I just like guns

[blazing lichen]

You're better off asking in the gamma server tbh I'm not sure who has a list here @rich gate

[rich gate]

Good point. I do not play that mod anyway, kinda overrated but the gun mods that come with it seem nice

plus I do not like its elements

[rich gate]

too much of survival-ish for the STALKER theme

[blazing lichen]

That's fair there's just like 551 something mods so I'd have to really dive deep to see what's going cuz there's still alot of anomaly /debug abd like gamma guns all mixed together so it's a bit of a doozy haha

I'm the same tbh

I prefer cotz, legends returns, more casual trilogy feeling for freeplay mods

I like challange but not how gamma does it

[rich gate]

I like Anomaly, idk why I just do. And although Gamma seemed cool at first, I dont think its my thing

I like Anomaly a bit closer to vanilla than anything

[rich gate]

legend returns was peak af

I played as Sin for hours

[blazing lichen]

OWA makes it peak

[blazing lichen]

Ayo based sin player haha

[rich gate]

true

[blazing lichen]

I'm doing loner but I kinda wanna play as slimes

[rich gate]

I liked fighting alongside mutants lol

[blazing lichen]

Ayo??

That sounds awesome haha

[rich gate]

get attacked by stalkers, realized a bloodsucker is near me

lure them to it so I fight alongside with it

then say thank you and leave

[blazing lichen]

Man that sounds awesome

[rich gate]

ISG would of been cool for Legend returns

idk I think it fits there

or maybe not

[blazing lichen]

I'm actually surprised it's not in there considering you got slime and sin

[rich gate]

yeah

plus ISG was supposed to be in clear sky until they cut it

Scar was supposed to be guiding them until that inevitable emission

[blazing lichen]

I wish that wasn't cut coulda been cool tbh

[rich gate]

yeah

bandits still based faction tho

darn gopniks and other slavic gangs entering the zone

[wheat haven]

The Sin feels like a "hardcore black metal fans went into the zone" concept tbh 🥴

[rich gate]

lol

[rich gate]

Entered the discord, not before putting on a hazmat suit of course

[rich gate]

they were quick to get me the modlist

[wheat haven]

What's about it?

[rich gate]

I am kinda curious about the modpack's gun list

I do not like the modpack but I took interest in their weapons list

lol

[upbeat coral]

They would be just purple mercs
Nothing interesting

[upbeat coral]

BAS
The single worst gun mod ever

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

I mean its well detailed but that is the only thing it has going for it

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Its unbalanced
Out of place
Focuses too much on tactical slop
Bloated af
Doesnt replace guns (extra bloat)

Grr

I hate how BAS guns are in new versions of STCOP

[rich gate]

The lack of replacement of guns is what bothers me lol

[upbeat coral]

And versions before that have wireframe issues

So latest good version of STCOP is 2.9

Which is from like 2017

[rich gate]

and now that I think about it, it does look out of place kinda like Gunslinger

[upbeat coral]

Its also like 10GB in filesize

Like
What the fuсk

How?

[rich gate]

Wait it is? I thought it was like 2

[upbeat coral]

Seriously only good thing about that mod is KS-23

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

[rich gate]

wth

I gotta check that out one sec

[upbeat coral]

2GB packed

[rich gate]

yeah ilk

[upbeat coral]

Once you unpack it skyrockets

[rich gate]

its 5.66

still higher

[upbeat coral]

I could swear it was more

But then
Last version I tried is old

So
Maybe they cut some corners

[rich gate]

give me a sec I think its because of how I zipped it

holy sweet mother of god

11 gb

@upbeat coral you were right

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

but its the optional file slop that you dont even need

the 5.66 is what you actually need

[upbeat coral]

My face when tarkov goon shitpack is bigger than the entire Call of Chernobyl (featuring 32 playable maps)

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

thats insane I thought it was smaller

at this rate just stick with Blindsides reanimation lol

[upbeat coral]

Now the best part
Compare it to filesize of the ENTIRE IWP mod

[rich gate]

wait

how big is it even

its a shame its that big tbh cause I like the animations for the guns

[upbeat coral]

Which uses BAS guns, but doesnt feature duplicates
On top of being an entire goddamn game

[rich gate]

the tacticool stuff kinda over the top but its... neat? I guess?

DOnt really need it tbh

[upbeat coral]

Neat?
More like shiet

[rich gate]

its kinda meh to me

I dont care about that

[upbeat coral]

KS-23 is the only good gun

[rich gate]

the TOZ gun also kinda cool

shame nobody made that a standalone gun yet

[upbeat coral]

Mainly because its the only gun in the mod that actually moves ragdolls

All other guns just have them fall down like if they died of heart attack instead of being shot

[rich gate]

screw it imma do the most based thing yet

screw BAS

[upbeat coral]

The 20 Gauge?

[rich gate]

yeah

that bolt action shotgun

its a unique design, I like it

weak, but I like it

[upbeat coral]

Think its in STCOP 3.5 and 3.7

[rich gate]

I still find it insulting that nobody made that a standalone gun yet for Anomaly

like come on have some balls and make your own TOZ-106

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

I would of done it myself if I could but I cant mod stalker for crap

nor animate

[upbeat coral]

@wild rock I reinstalled Dollchan and this run is looking much better than the first one
got antirad artifacts
somewhat decent guns
and 60K of rublos

[rich gate]

we irch

rich

[upbeat coral]

no
we poor
thats why we play free mods

[rich gate]

lol

[upbeat coral]

also Seva helmet

and Shell artifact which I cant use yet cuz no slots

[neat dune]

baaaal44 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upbeat coral]

oh damn
theres a spatial trap in Garbage

peak

[wild rock]

I'm proud of you,and you should by now have enough money for the cheapest suit(NBC suit) wich can protect you from radiation in X-27.

[upbeat coral]

I got radioprotectors and Seva helmet

task description said I need at least a gasmask
so this should do

I also got the antirad artifact so

[wild rock]

Good, but here's some advice from someone who played this mod many times:

1. Make sure to complete all side tasks(except the Doll one) before going to X-18 and X-11.These labs can bug out if you don't
2. Never stay in a corner for too long(Clear Skys combat is an example)
3. The grind will be a bit harder after the first trip to X-27, but getting a better suit and a better detector(Veles and Svarog) will make It easier.
4. Make sure to have long-range weapons(Assault Rifles and snipers) and close range weapons(shotguns,SMGs,LMGs,and pistols)
5. Get higher damage weapons because X-18 and X-11 are gonna be hard af and will have more armored enemies)

[upbeat coral]

double jackpot

[upbeat coral]

all handmade sidetasks?
or even radial ones

because running around doing fetch quests in order to visit a lab doesnt sound fun

got mauled by rats the very moment I got into the lab

peak

[wild rock]

All sidetasks(except the Doll one wich can't be completed)

[upbeat coral]

Ill just go and cancel them when the time comes

[wild rock]

Good.Having the Doll will make things easier in Dollchan,tho It's probably already too late for you.

[upbeat coral]

wdym too late for me

this is glorpshit

[upbeat coral]

20 minutes later and...
the game shat itself
crashed my windows
had to be restarted 3 times for all settings to return to normal
Im still being spawncamped by rats

[wild rock]

Nevermind.I must've been dumb when I said that

[upbeat coral]

oh good
as if that wasnt enough
I got 3000 microrads the moment I enter

how is it possible that "a gasmask will do" but goddamn Seva helmet wont

[wild rock]

A Gasmask doesn't work either

A complete suit is the best option

[upbeat coral]

._.

[wild rock]

You can grind hours for a SEVA or get an NBC suit(cheapest one is 50k roubles)

[upbeat coral]

Whoever wrote Butchers dialogue should burn in hell

[wild rock]

I hate him too

The cat rule is arbitary

[upbeat coral]

[wild rock]

That's the suits,detectors are another story.After X-27 you'll need to find a bunch of items for a stalker(one of them being a Veles detector and 2 flash artifacts)

[upbeat coral]

Youre arbitrary

[rich gate]

My wallet is low on cats

[upbeat coral]

For which game?

[upbeat coral]

for CoP definitely Open Xray (since the behavior is nearly identical to 1.6) or IX-Ray

for SoC OGSR

its more modern
latest version of OXR is few years old already

also the final product will probably be better on IX-Ray

well it will be better experience for the player
since it has more features for end users
its also been the engine of choice for many big mods which speaks for itself

all new mods from Vivient run on IX-Ray for example
theres also a mod in work with maps sized at 4 square kilometers running on IX-Ray
its very capable engine made specifically for modders

it is nice

theres also support for DLTX and XML override

mainly its similarity to Xray 1.6
anything that works with 1.6 is likely to work with OXR

its not obsolete by any means its just more traditional I guess
more focused on fixing bugs and improving stability rather than adding features for modders

[upbeat coral]

@wild rock made it to samps
NBC suit goes for 112K
I got 80k rn
I could sell the Shell artifact for around 20k and my seva helmet for another 12k
not sure if I want to lose the Shell tho since it gives stamina boost, but the NBC wont have 2 slots anyways so

oh fuсk off

[wild rock]

You can always upgrade the suit,tho Idk how It's possible the NBC is 112K Roubles when It should be 76k.

[upbeat coral]

dunno
maybe its not on the mentioned sale?

wait
did you by chance decrease the difficulty?
cuz Im playing on default which is master

[wild rock]

Those monstrosities scare the living shit out of me

[upbeat coral]

they died in anomalies thankfully

I found another Wrenched

great

maybe I got low rep with scientists
too bad

[upbeat coral]

@wild rock how many anomalous fields are there in Cordon?
I only found two yet the NPCs keep mentioning some I havent found yet

found one more
and damn
the NBC suit has no durability at all

[blazing lichen]

i never really liked them in any mod tbh

[upbeat coral]

yeah
but since it uses STCOP, not even the better scientific suits have any durability

maybe the durability wont be such a problem after all

[blazing lichen]

aye not bad

what mod is this ?
