I dont get it how Wolf works.

[wind scaffold]

Ill try it.

[upbeat coral]

he doesnt work

hes a lazy fuсk

[frozen citrus]

Thanks for the heads-up

[upbeat coral]

[frozen citrus]

its different from 3.7
what do i do with it?

[upbeat coral]

main difference is that its better

just uninstall the current version

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/stcop-weapon-pack-3108-download-translation

and install this

it got instructions included

[frozen citrus]

✅

[frozen citrus]

i cant figure this install out

[upbeat coral]

what seems to be the issue?

[frozen citrus]

i cant follow basic instructions

my stalker doesn't have the gamedata file fsr

[upbeat coral]

the point is to delete it

if you dont have it that means this step is autocompleted

just proceed to next step

[frozen citrus]

my new to modding pea brain cant figure this out

[upbeat coral]

you have the folder with the mod

in it theres multiple folders

you can skip the first three steps

now
open the folder called STCoP Weapon Pack 3.1
inside it is a gamedata folder

copy and paste the gamedata in your games root (that is the first layer of the game)
to know if you are pasting it to correct spot, root should contain multiple folders, one of which is called "resources"

[frozen citrus]

cant find "resources"
prob wrong install location
so i might as well ask incase i get it wrong again, where and what is the first layer of the game?

[upbeat coral]

first layer is a folder called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat

aka root

[frozen citrus]

this the right spot init?

[upbeat coral]

there should be more files there

are you sure you are in teh game directory?

[frozen citrus]

lemme double check rq

im a foooool
i was in the one for my external drive
im in the right spot now, lemme redo the steps rq

[frozen citrus]

its there now(resources)
anything else?

[upbeat coral]

well thats the correct folder
now the same way you pasted the gamedata from the STCOP weapon pack 3.1 folder
you copy and paste the gamedata from all the other folders as the guide tells you

[frozen citrus]

ok

[frozen citrus]

looks like its working
would like to get those 3 optionals now

[upbeat coral]

I mean
you can I guess
but it will be messy as they have to be installed first
you can move/rename the gamedata
install them
rename it back
and then apply the compatibility patches but that may be a bit complicated

[frozen citrus]

i could just restart the process
when i found the real folder it didn't take long

[frozen citrus]

with the stuff im doing ya think im gonna need the atmos3 patch?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[frozen citrus]

ok

[frozen citrus]

ive gotten all the stuff downloaded
but when i open it it runs for a short time but then crashes
any reason that could be?

[frozen citrus]

the crashing in question

[fresh geode]

What are you tryna install?

[frozen citrus]

the thing ive been playing for the last 3 hours
gato emperor helped already

[fresh geode]

Yah I saw that mod and I don't know anything about modding too lol

[frozen citrus]

this

gunslinger but it works

[fresh geode]

I found the fix for this... There's a mod called english translation for cop gunslinger and after installing, thee issue is resolved

[fresh geode]

Does it work or not?

[frozen citrus]

indeed

[fresh geode]

Like can you run it successfully now?

[fresh geode]

Oh alr

Does it eat up fps?

[frozen citrus]

stcop is great so far

[frozen citrus]

no, runnin well

[fresh geode]

Well imma gonna ask somethin... Do you get a sprint delay when you press the sprinting key?

no

[frozen citrus]

what mods are those?

[blazing lichen]

iwp with cotz addon

[frozen citrus]

k

[blazing lichen]

also absolute nature, structure redux and a few others

[rich gate]

basically a bunch of graphics mods

absolute nature is not one of them actually

[blazing lichen]

oh fr ?

[rich gate]

there is a mod that replaces the levels with anomaly ones so anomaly graphic mods work

well, texture mods

[blazing lichen]

i found iwp ugly without it tbh

[rich gate]

ye

[blazing lichen]

based

didnt think it worked

whats the mod called ?

[rich gate]

it just replaces the base game coc levels with anomaly ones

doesnt add the new ones like meadows tho

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

its in the IWP server

https://discord.com/channels/1249820495398961324/1329420944908746784

its a bit of a mess, the first file has some missing textures but the guy fixed it

but you gotta manually change things up a bit, do not add the UI file from the new on though it changes your entire ui

but everything else works fine

[blazing lichen]

i wanna get back into radiophobia 3 i like how meaty the guns sound and it got a new update

Hello, do you guys think I can use CoC addons on Call of the Zone?

[shrewd flame]

I also have a problem, in CoZ. When I use my headlamp I have some texture problems. For example, if I have my headlamp on, this burn fuzz anomaly will have purple colors.
If anyone knows a fix for that, I would be thankful :)

[upbeat coral]

Groups scientists had giant brain emitters in pickle jars but tehy didnt have toilet flushing mechanism

[rich gate]

literally

[fresh geode]

Nah bro seriously it is for gunslinger right?

[upbeat coral]

thats common issue when transparent materials from one game (CS) get ported to another (CoP)

[upbeat coral]

its not

[wind scaffold]

Average Russia of 2000 year toilet.

[wind scaffold]

They have flushing mechanism. That tube is connected to container with water. Or i might be wrong. We dont have that kind of toilets now.

[upbeat coral]

I meant that its dirty

And I dont think its rust

[wind scaffold]

Stalkers need to shit somewhere. Somewhere shit on the floor, like in Agroprom, someone in soviet toilets.

And yes, i think there is no water in Chernobyl, so no working flushing mechanism.

[fresh geode]

Does abr cop have openxray?

[upbeat coral]

No

Just use Openxray by itself

Its better than ABR ever will be anyways

[fresh geode]

So just use opxray without abr?

I'm not very good at english

[upbeat coral]

Yes

OpenXray works just like a bugfixing mod with the added benefit of better performance, loading times, stability and more options in settings

[fresh geode]

Atmosfear, absolute nature and absolute structures work with openxray too right?

[upbeat coral]

Absolute Nature and Absolute Structures do

Atmosfear would need adaptations iirc

But I may be wrong
Try it for yourself
Order of installation should be

1. Atmosfear
2. Absolute Nature
3. Absolute Structures
4. delete the Bin folder
5. Open Xray

[silent forge]

Hi but Anomaly is more difficult than SoC, CS and CoP?

[upbeat coral]

If by "difficult" you mean "tedious garbage" then yes

[silent forge]

It is a bad game?

[upbeat coral]

Bad..
Is an understatement

Its extremely empty, has no original content and makes up for lack of it by introducing ton of garbage items

Its not a good mod, not a good game and definitely not a good stalker mod

[silent forge]

Best mod for Stalker Call of P. E for you?

[upbeat coral]

Main quest is just recycled and poorly implemented knockoffs of trilogy quests and sidetasks are not only boring but also useless since they dont even reward you in a meaningful way

[upbeat coral]

Depends on what kind of mod you are looking for

[silent forge]

Mod for realism and difficult

[upbeat coral]

[silent forge]

A mod that makes the game more realistic, difficult and survival

[upbeat coral]

Uhh
I dont play those
They are kinda boring
As more often than not its just vanilla with bad balance and dogshit performance due to over abundance of random features

I guess you could maybe try Lex Addon since it adds cold and stuff like that iirc
But Im not sure if its translated

Theres also Misery but thats not hard, its just poorly balanced and unfair, yet easily abusable

I guess you could try STCOP
It makes gunfights more challenging

Version 3.1

Its on moddb
You can also get Atmosfear and Absolute Nature with it

[silent forge]

Thanks

[silent forge]

STCOP is for Call of P.?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[silent forge]

@upbeat coral i have read this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1o996FD2lx1rlHUwY9fmaFo-g_fE9uXPmrx_PoaXsI3Y/htmlview?pli=1#gid=0 for you Best Mods are Spatial Anomaly and Dreamcatcher but not STCOP

Why? No spoiler please. Thanks.

[rich knot]

The mods on that list are story mods (not including anomaly which is freeplay)
STCoP is a weapon pack

[silent forge]

Install story mod+STCoP is possible?

[rich knot]

You'd probably need to merge them

There are some story mods that come with STCoP from the start too

[faint oar]

Kinda hoping more mods for console come out.

[upbeat coral]

Yeah like Trapped
Or Dollchan

This is the mod right? https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/stcop-weapon-pack-32-translation Says it's 3.2

And the Absolute structures is a standalone addon right? It doesn't require Absolute nature and stuff??

[upbeat coral]

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/stcop-weapon-pack-3108-download-translation

3.2 has wireframe bugs

and yes
Absolute Structures doesnt need anything

I would still install Absolute Nature tho
its really good full-fledged mod, while AS is essentially a texture pack

[fresh geode]

I gotta say I never even started to play call of Pripyat lol.... haven't even finished SoC. I'm gonna play CoP after finishing SoC. I think I'm at the end of the game. Now I'm gonna find the glowy rock

[fresh geode]

My PC Can't handle it

[upbeat coral]

uhhh
in that case dont mod the game

[upbeat coral]

whats your specs?

[fresh geode]

I'm just getting the good mods before playing it cus that way, I don't have to uninstall, reinstall and stuff

[fresh geode]

GTX 550Ti (I know it's ass)
i7 4790
8GB RAM

[upbeat coral]

thats not the point
mods often change far more than they say they do effectively taking away the intended experience

[upbeat coral]

I ran AN4 on i5 650 and RX550 at 60FPS dynamic lighting

as long as you dont use Atmosfear its okay

[fresh geode]

Well it IS an RX550

[fresh geode]

I use it

[upbeat coral]

550
not to be confused with 5500

you know
the GT 1030 counterpart

[fresh geode]

Yah I guess....

[upbeat coral]

thats the main performance ruiner

[fresh geode]

rlly?

[upbeat coral]

AS and AN barely affect it

[upbeat coral]

yes

[fresh geode]

Well when installing the ABN, It says you need 768 vram and a strong gpu

But AMF doesn't say that

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications message And My PC CAN Handle it but it's a bit laggy

[upbeat coral]

AF removes fog effectively forcing the game to render entire map at all times

also Absolute Nature is a 2010 mod

so it wants a GPU that was strong in 2010...

[fresh geode]

Alr thanks

I'll see what matches me

[upbeat coral]

but please
at least try the game vanilla
on first playthrough
the game isnt long anyway

[fresh geode]

K

BTW Do you own the game?

or just crack it

like me?

[upbeat coral]

yeah

bro cracking 2009 games that cost 4 bucks is another level

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

only game I ever cracked was Spintires because you cant buy the DLCs anymore and the crack has them

[blazing lichen]

Fr games dirt cheap

[blazing lichen]

That's fair tbh that's game preservation at that point

[fresh geode]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-o'hearn-real-brainfog-gif-7666610795160025826

I only bought Battlefield 1 and a couple other games. Other than that, I have 1TB Worth of Game setups only.. all cracked

Not those modern crap. All old school

STCOP 3.1.08

[idle matrix]

Dreamcatcher is pretty based but replaying it now I feel like they did go a little overboard on how fast and how many mutants spawn in. Finished up yantar and you're tripping over piles of snorks both ways on like a 10 min trip to the factory area

[young fable]

Even AO3?

[upbeat coral]

especially AO3

[wild yacht]

Good to know, trying to put a list of potential mods together for my first time playing CotZ

[upbeat coral]

bro you dont need to mod a mod...

CotZ is perfectly fine as it is, its miles ahead of every other CoC fork

also I think it already uses AO3
or some similar weapon pack

[wild yacht]

Ah I’ve seen a guy that listed AO3 in the add ons he used for CotZ

[upbeat coral]

hmm
maybe base CotZ just changes gun textures and stats then
while keeping vanilla CoC arsenal

[wild yacht]

I think that’s what it is

I wasn’t gonna add too much to CotZ, I was just considering AO3 and maybe a mod that allows you to adjust your starting load out a bit but that was basically it

But if you think I should run it completely vanilla (at least the first time) I am interested to know

[rich knot]

SWR CotZ is pretty good

[fresh geode]

Atmosfear 3 looks hella good

I just can't play it

Are there some settings that I could change for better performance

I'm using atmosfear 3 absolute nature 4 absolute structures and stcop with open xray

Do you need to play in dx11 or can You change the engine?

[upbeat coral]

play on static

Can't even see what's in front of me

[upbeat coral]

Yah alr

I never thought i would love stalker this much

I just found out about it like 2 weeks ago or so

[shrewd flame]

nah pda radio and food and drinks animations are fine addons

[upbeat coral]

no

[shrewd flame]

listening to karma police in Zaton is something special

[upbeat coral]

._.

[shrewd flame]

and animations are good if you like immersion

[upbeat coral]

immersion is different for everyone
watching a guy take one bite of a bread and throw it away doesnt immerse me
seeing bunch of guys sit around a campfire and tell jokes does, seeing mutants drag and eat corpses does, seeing actual food chain of mutants work in the game does

[shrewd flame]

yep I agree. Fortunately we have plenty of mods for everyone

eating in Stalker games serves no purpose except for """""realism"""""". Food is never a problem in any of the games

Path in the Mist

believe it or not but this is in Rostok

[idle matrix]

path in the mist is one of the widely well regarded story mods

gotta play it, maybe sooner rather than later tbh

[upbeat coral]

its great
somehow the ISOTD guys managed to release two banger mods in quick succession almost 12 years ago
mods that are still some of the best to this day

[idle matrix]

my understanding is they didn't do anything too fancy so probably just focusing on doing the essentials well

[upbeat coral]

nah
they did a lot of fancy stuff

[idle matrix]

ohhh?

just built different then

[upbeat coral]

they had great maps, new artifacts, decent stability, PitM even had a gunpack
not to mention the arena fights in PitM and the new anomalies and mutants of VoW, as well as small details like stalkers shooting a hanging corpse of a snork

[blazing lichen]

i gotta play pitm

[upbeat coral]

everyone gotta play PitM

even if it was just for the maps

[blazing lichen]

peak..

[idle matrix]

Is that where that map is originally from

[upbeat coral]

yes

[idle matrix]

Because I recognize it from OP-2 and Global War

Based

[upbeat coral]

its Dead City

[blazing lichen]

bro c-con faction in global war lets you start with gauss rifles and some got unique variants

[idle matrix]

yeah fear the auto gauss rifles

[blazing lichen]

i wish more mods had it i tried a full auto one in debug testing of NS 2016 it was insane lol

i wish there was a multiplayer fork of global war..

[idle matrix]

that would be nuts lmao

[blazing lichen]

fr haha the chaos

[idle matrix]

dreamcatcher lighting is so good

[idle matrix]

vivient really liked their jumping mutants in this mod. there's at least like 4 different versions of snorks of varying speed and toughness

[blazing lichen]

a snorkers dream..

[idle matrix]

the mod is generally short enough that its fine but the last couple times you run through yantar for side quests it's getting a little tiresome

[upbeat coral]

Legend Returns has visually different snork variants
like some of them have camo pants and such

[sick sand]

When will they add a peak feature of cancelling their fancy animations? That's kinda all I need to be able to enjoy it

[rich gate]

what kinda animation?

if only I was able to cancel reloading anims

[upbeat coral]

all animations
they play one for every action no matter how unimportant it is
and then they lock you and prevent you from doing anything while it plays

[sick sand]

Most of them are impossible to cancel and it makes it less responsive than original game

[rich gate]

I personally dont mind it but I see why it bothers people

[hoary lintel]

about RTTN, bandit faction isn't allowed to experience the story mode. But if I strart as a bandit and then join the loners, will I be able to do the quest line>

[upbeat coral]

you wont join Loners

[sick sand]

It's not just cancelling but "features" like being able to run while reloading your guns

[wind scaffold]

PitM ?

[blazing lichen]

path in the mist

forgot that the sarcophagus part in dreamcatcher kinda sucks. the rest of it is peak though

[rich gate]

aight

I also noticed that a bandit NPC bought something and after that the game crashes

it doesnt specify the ammo though

maybe he bought that tokarev pistol

ill just reinstall the game rq

it is so annoying to do that though ngl

[upbeat coral]

its not for pistols

its for snipers

[rich gate]

oh yeah right

[upbeat coral]

12.7 Tokarev is basically Russian .50

[rich gate]

ohhh that makes more sense

[upbeat coral]

7.62 Tokarev is pistol ammo

[rich gate]

well I am reinstalling the game

[upbeat coral]

otherwise known as 7.62x25

[rich gate]

maybe a new patch that adds ash-12 something broke my current game

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[rich gate]

not sure if ash-12 uses that ammo

[upbeat coral]

it does

[rich gate]

not a gun nut

yeah that makes sense

I also tried disabling addons that affects guns and ammo like ballistic and rebalance addon which makes armored targets and you if armored, more resistant

still crashed

so maybe something wrong is with the patch

[upbeat coral]

youre using JSGME for enabling/disabling addons, right?

[rich gate]

I am using MO2 now since its easier to manage

theres an addon to make it compatible with it

[upbeat coral]

oh cool
weird tho

[rich gate]

I never had that crash before the patch so

something is up

before the patch, I mean

the ash-12 is cool tho

https://youtu.be/rJCZwDEozGE

I disabled the HD icons again and no crash yet

we will see

[rich gate]

ok reinstalled that ballistics addon @upbeat coral since it had an update

seems to have fixed it

[upbeat coral]

[rich gate]

I think reinstalling IWP did something with the game files since ash-12 wasnt there no more so I just added the patch back and it seems to work so far

[upbeat coral]

The Voice: Episode 2 is pretty cool so far

at least now that I got out of that stupid underground

[rich gate]

@blazing lichen merc time

[rich gate]

huh

[rich gate]

waii

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

man ever since I played IWPEAK

I havent touched Anomaly

[upbeat coral]

Anomaly player discovers that there are other mods than Anomaly, 2025 colorized

[rich gate]

lol

I knew there were other mods

[upbeat coral]

yeah
sure

[rich gate]

I literally played CoC while it was cool ;-;

Dead Air, Misery

[rich gate]

Lost Alpha

a bit of Wind of Time

[upbeat coral]

slop and peak

[rich gate]

yeah

slop and peak combined basically

[upbeat coral]

no

Lost Alpha is the slop
Wind of Time is the peak

[rich gate]

what im saying is that I played a combination of Slop and Peak mods

[upbeat coral]

ehhh
you played a single peak mod

[rich gate]

I played Vanilla CS

hey, no more Anomaly Syndrome

lol

to be fair though IWP wouldnt be IWPEAK without CotZ

[blazing lichen]

@rich gate play goldsphere, escape from the zone, return to the zone, valley of whispers, messenger, bad company 1, 2 remastered, spacial anomaly

[rich gate]

it makes freeplay quests less generic

[rich gate]

I might try escape from the zone

[blazing lichen]

And I gotta try merc

[rich gate]

that sounds cool

kinda reminds me of HL opposing force for some reason

[blazing lichen]

It's not a freeplay mod

[upbeat coral]

its not peak even with CotZ quests

[rich gate]

ik its not

[blazing lichen]

Play goldsphere first

Peak..

[rich gate]

Golden ball

[blazing lichen]

I'm a break from stalker atm but started messenger

[rich gate]

theres some stalker inspired survival game coming to steam

its prolly gonna be slop tbh

[blazing lichen]

whats it called?

[rich gate]

I forgor

[upbeat coral]

good news everyone
I found a way to insert links to images to my map spreadsheet
finally those hundereds of PDA maps I ahve stored can be put to a use

[blazing lichen]

AYO

[upbeat coral]

anything that combines the words "stalker" and "survival" will inevitabely be abysmal garbage

[rich gate]

yeees

the only best garbage out of these is stalcraft, but the PVP system sucks balls

[blazing lichen]

and the P2W

[rich gate]

yeah its kinda p2w

its stupid

[blazing lichen]

very p2w

[rich gate]

Devs playing the game also give themselves OP gear at the start

[blazing lichen]

once you get to rostok it makes Warthunder look good

[rich gate]

Dont get me started with Rostok

freedom campers everywhere

I played as a Bandit so

[blazing lichen]

gamma looks like a perfect game

[rich gate]

Freedom members always camp and ransom people

[blazing lichen]

in comparison

[rich gate]

I speak frfom experience

I wasted so many hours in this garbage game

[blazing lichen]

if i was GSC id pull a rockstar ngl

id CRUSH that slop

[rich gate]

fr

[blazing lichen]

idk how they are even allowed to profit off another companies ip in the first place

nintendo going after palword for much less

[upbeat coral]

womp womp

once you reach Rostok it startss being unplayable

[rich gate]

the starting area was fun

[upbeat coral]

Nintendo goes after everyone

heck they strike indie games

[blazing lichen]

gsc should go after stalcraft

[blazing lichen]

they even went after a south american corner store lol

[rich gate]

literally, it copies almost everything

[blazing lichen]

is strelok in stalcraft ?

[rich gate]

sadly no

but the SEVA suits and exoskeletons are there

[upbeat coral]

I think they reached some agreement with GSC
thats why Duty and Freedom were only added later

[blazing lichen]

ah

that makes more sense

[rich gate]

they have slop names now

Duty is Frontier

Freedom is uh... crap idk

[blazing lichen]

💀

[rich gate]

Liberty?

idfk

[blazing lichen]

GSC is much nicer then id be

[rich gate]

Mercenaries are still mercenaries

Covenant is quite an interesting faction but nobody joins it almost

it gets wrecked by Duty

[upbeat coral]

please tell me they have base in dead city and its called Liberty City now

[rich gate]

They dont

[blazing lichen]

gta4...

goated game

[upbeat coral]

lame

[rich gate]

They live underground I think

[upbeat coral]

lmao

[rich gate]

so is the Covenant

[blazing lichen]

so goofy

[rich gate]

Mercenaries and Frontier are the only two sub-factions that have bases on surface

man Ray of Hope would of been peak and would demolish stalcraft but oh well

it will never exist

I would of loved to loot players with the boys as bandits

[blazing lichen]

ayo an indie isometric stalker inspired game think i may grab it

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1836780/Tunguska_Ravenwood_Stories/

[rich gate]

oh yeah I got it

its alright

its unique for sure

you are a Journalist exploring the zone

[blazing lichen]

i love isometric games wish there was more

[blazing lichen]

based

[rich gate]

you are an American journalist who was smuggled into USSR

I should play more of it man

[blazing lichen]

i wish there was mods that turned stalker into isometric

there was stalker online but it died

[rich gate]

imagine CDDA but STALKER

that would be cool

another isometric/topdown game I recommend is Darkwood

yknow if OWA addon comes out

with CotZ

I hope they will also improve on the SIN faction

those guys were made dirty

[civic pewter]

Return To The Zone is the PEAK

[rich gate]

Whats it about?

[blazing lichen]

Return to the zone is a story mod for Call of pripyat with 3 separate stories and a extraction mod,it has new maps,new characters,new plots,new mechanics,new models and weapons,it is made by Jekan,the same creater as Goldsphere.

[rich gate]

nice

idk im more of a freeplay guy but I might try a story mod or two

[blazing lichen]

yeah i think the trilogy goes GS> EFTZ > RTTZ

ive moved away from freeplay tbh they getting boring more focused on soups and story

[rich gate]

I barely got bored of freeplays, obv I gotta take a break from em sometimes

idk, I guess I am just boring overall lmao

[blazing lichen]

naw man not at all

im more burnt out then anything as ive been dailying freeplay since like last may

[rich gate]

fair enough

[blazing lichen]

if i took a couple months break id fall in love again im just COOKED

in middle of teamlite just like stopped and havent returned lol

[rich gate]

just teamed up with a CS member on finding documents

well, I paid him

wtf, Monolith got helicopters

[blazing lichen]

??

AYO lol

[rich gate]

yeah its been chasing me after ground monolith requested it to help

it all happened in Limansk

[blazing lichen]

💀

[upbeat coral]

absolutely

[rich gate]

why you like this

what have I done to you, friend?

lol the companions profiles

they are the same

THEY'RE CLONES

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

did you forget about your excessive cat debt?

[rich gate]

No

I am not paying you 1 billion cats

I am in bankruptcy

[rich gate]

I am bankrupt, sir

[rich gate]

Please sir, just give me a tax pardon.

You took all of my cats already.

[rich knot]

Loners are only at peace with mercs and the army
Clear sky is at war with everyone but the ecologists and the army

[upbeat coral]

Omg

[rich knot]

I love that mini map. It looks so peak.

All mods should have it

[rich gate]

Please, sir.

I cannot afford to feed my fleshes at my barn

[upbeat coral]

anyways
I updated the map sheet
now you can actually view the PDA maps for most levels

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_JWT7WEq-_gvERgXFs9NybRbUWLj93Fo5gczSmZN9a0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[rich gate]

Please, sir.

My children are dying.

[upbeat coral]

dying from waiting for you to pay the cat tax

[rich gate]

I do not have the 1 billion cat bill...

[blazing lichen]

Your children will work the kot mines..

[thorny yarrow]

Hey lads, this channel can be used to ask questions about modding ?

[blazing lichen]

yes

[rich gate]

actually, I shall personally send you the 1 bil kot bill

[thorny yarrow]

Does anyone knows how to extract the 3d model of the PDA from the game ? I want to do some retexturing, may be some bit of modeling over it too

to basicaly have a more personal, or realistic pda model

[upbeat coral]

for which game?

[rich gate]

I hope this satisfied

[rich gate]

1 billion cat bill sent

I had to rob the kot bank fo this

[thorny yarrow]

stalker anomaly

[blazing lichen]

@thorny yarrow for anomaly stuff id join their server and ask there tbh

[rich gate]

true, true

[thorny yarrow]

oh I didn't knew there was a anomaly server! thanks lads

[blazing lichen]

no worries!

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

This was the 1 billion kot bill

satisfied?

[upbeat coral]

that was 2 cats
cant you count?

[rich gate]

that was a limited edition kot

[upbeat coral]

no it wasnt

[rich gate]

I was scammed...

what if I worked in the Kot mines instead?

[upbeat coral]

Kot Mines better known as Goldsphere Completion

[rich gate]

guess I gotta speedrun it

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

nuh uh

[rich gate]

yuh huh

[upbeat coral]

only full playthrough is worth one billion cats

[rich gate]

dear god..

how long does it take?

[upbeat coral]

not long

only between 70 and 100 hours

[rich gate]

what if I only finished the story?

[blazing lichen]

solid length imo

[upbeat coral]

then you would still owe me 834 109 532 cats

[blazing lichen]

for reference op2 can take between 500-1000 hours to 100%

[rich gate]

jesus christ

[blazing lichen]

op2 is a decades worth of content haha

its like 59 gigs

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

op2 is 4 times the size of skyrim

[upbeat coral]

thats nice but does it have 4 times larger map?
16 times more detail?

[blazing lichen]

it does..

16x the suffering..

your first horror night changes you..

zombies exploding into a pack of rats and some have the plague..

[upbeat coral]

holy kino

[blazing lichen]

and the cure is rare...

[rich gate]

Sir, why do I exactly owe 1 billion cats?

[upbeat coral]

cuz you didnt pay the cat tax and got bunch of cat fines

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

@upbeat coral It's Burover...

[rich gate]

hoh

[idle matrix]

the exception has some almost OP-2 level stashes

[upbeat coral]

yes

its peak

[idle matrix]

I do appreciate it. And the fact that there are some pretty normal ones too you can find just by being observant

[upbeat coral]

yup

[upbeat coral]

anyways
the spreadsheet now has links leading directly to the embeded images, not to the site they are hosted on
should have done that from startt

[rich gate]

so im finally playing it

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

peak..

[rich gate]

so army took me

trying to build a chair tower

it aint working

[rich gate]

this is silly

[rich knot]

Hint
||The chair tower is not the intended method. ||

||look around||

[rich gate]

found a note of some kind

oooo hold on

mmm heart midicine

this dog lookin stiff

[blazing lichen]

peak..

[rich gate]

bruh

I drink something and the game crashes

what is this

[rich gate]

how can I enjoy this if the game crashes...?

[rich knot]

Crashes ain't the worst thing in goldsphere ogse

Save corruption is way worse imo

[rich gate]

the mod is interesting but I certainly wont play an unstable mod

ok I found a hotfix nvm

maybe it will fix it

[rich knot]

If you are fine with more modern graphics instead of the more classic graphics of the ogse version and some other changes then there is the ogsr version. The ogsr version is less optimized too.

[idle matrix]

I'm not an expert but I don't think this is how you hold throwing knives

[rich knot]

Exception?

[idle matrix]

Yeah

[rich knot]

Peak hud

[rich gate]

I think the hotfix fixed it

[upbeat coral]

womp womp

people when they dont install patch and complain stuff is broken:

[rich gate]

I didnt notice it ;-;

[rich gate]

the game is kinda goofy so far

[neat dune]

alvaroabc has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich gate]

yeah idk if I like it, but its a unique experience for sure

[upbeat coral]

Youre just too drunk on that "realism" garbage to see Jekans supreme modmaking

Take your pink tinted NVGs off and look again

[rich gate]

no?

Scariest thing I have seen yet

[blazing lichen]

Peaksphere..

[rich gate]

gotta kill the controller now

this better be good...

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[rich gate]

havent even played enough gamma to be categorized like that

dont do me dirty

[upbeat coral]

Send the silliest cat you have and I will stop (but only if its silly enough)

[ebon tusk]

ok Gamma player

[rich gate]

havent even played it for an hour though ;-;

only had a look for like 10 minutes, got bored and left

[ebon tusk]

gamma dabbler

[rich gate]

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

also the controller in golden sphere is horrifying

[upbeat coral]

Yes

Not all controllers are like that
This one is unique

But Jekan uses standard mutants in these non standard ways quite a lot

I think Burers and Controllers are his best

But Izloms are good too

And he also has one new unique mutant which is extra cool

[rich gate]

Drip

[upbeat coral]

Dang
Someone still using the homemade gun
Smh

[rich gate]

well where do I get a proper gun

[upbeat coral]

If I told you, there would be no sense of accomplishment after finding it

[rich gate]

fair enough

[upbeat coral]

Also
Losing your gear at the start id kinda skill issue ngl

Step 1 to acquiring a gun is not losing the starting shotty

[rich gate]

well I found a mosin

dunno how to attach that scope tho

oh, documentation

[upbeat coral]

Yes

The Mosin is good

It will stay relevant for a while

[sick sand]

I really, REALLY loved that close quarters combat with a fire polter in one of the houses in the village

Such a simple encounter, really

But it works so well

[idle matrix]

yeah the exception is very based

[wind scaffold]

Homemade gun is SUPREME.

[idle matrix]

got myself a bear detector, next time i play its artifact hunting time

[upbeat coral]

Best part of the mod honestly

[upbeat coral]

That is refference to OGSE
Same house too

[unborn ledge]

I think i'll just leave the quarry alone ngl

[unborn ledge]

I have ghosts gauss so it could be quick but there is probably nothing useful there ngl

[blazing lichen]

I wouldn't waste the Gauss ammo

[neon socket]

I aggroed Kuznetsov in OP-2.2 because I needed to get Nimble's jacket from the crap railway box, how do I de-aggro him?

[idle matrix]

Pretty sure by reloading a save from before he got pissed at you. One reason to keep a ton of saves. My OP-2 save folder is in the tens of GB

[neon socket]

There is literally no other way to get Nimble's stash

[idle matrix]

You can de-aggro his squad to be able to pass under/into the bridge for several in game hours by bribing him with a bottle of vodka

You will be able to go get the jacket freely if you talk to him first and do that. It's also good to talk to him to take some of his side missions. One will give you a free knife which will be your only melee weapon for a good while, and you need it to loot mutants

[sick sand]

Guess I forgot about it, ogse was one of the last mods I've played before my hiatus

[upbeat coral]

Tbh Jekan did it better

His stash was at least possible to find without a guide

[idle matrix]

I forget exactly which rail car it is in but if it's the one on the western part of the railway you can also crouch jump over the barbed wire in a specific spot without being seen, it's a good trick to learn because you will be using it dozens or hundreds of times throughout a run

Now this is making me want to return to OP-2

It's so bad and so good at the same time

[twilit storm]

Does anyone know where I can find Ukrainian localization for coc?

[wind scaffold]

What point in it ?

[wind scaffold]

Play on Russian.

[twilit storm]

You offering a ukrainian to play on russian? At that point i would rather play on english.

[valid fern]

does anyone know how to fix invisible guns in coc?

[upbeat coral]

There isnt Ukrainian localization as far as I know

Also I dont really see a problem with playing in Russian
If you can understand it that is

[neat dune]

ilikearchunter has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fast crow]

Ah

Oopsies

I got wolfed for the first time

That was an accident

[upbeat coral]

Lmao
Get Wolf'd

[unborn ledge]

op 2.2 should be canon

[blazing lichen]

You dropped this 👑

[idle matrix]

Especially the part where Strelok is aware he can quick save

Or spends his time picking up Bailey's for Kuznetsov

[blazing lichen]

Strelok is essentially a 4th dimensional character

Hell alone he's had multiple endings in soc

[cinder oxide]

RTTZ is infinitely more interesting of a sequel to me than HoC (granted it's a schizo mod that has some lore breaking stuff going on)

But the general plot of HoC just doesn't experiment much or step outside the box imo

There are gratifying moments, sure, but it doesn't compare to how damn intriguing RTTZ is

Maybe my opinion will change when I get to the ending of HoC

[upbeat coral]

No lore breaking
Only peakness

Ngl I think RTTZs reasoning for ||Monoliths survival|| is better than HoC reasoning

Also HoC is pretty lore breaking too

[cinder oxide]

That is true actually, I've only considered it not lore breaking because it's an official installment lmao

[upbeat coral]

[cinder oxide]

How far into RTTZ/HoC do I have to be for this spoiler to be valid?

Because I do not want either story spoiled--I haven't finished either of the two

[upbeat coral]

Around Juliter or Pripyat for RTTZ

And Im not really even sure if there is some reasoning for HoC

[cinder oxide]

Ok I will not click it, I think I'm near the end of Zaton

[upbeat coral]

To me it appears its there just for sake of being there and theres no proper explanation

[cinder oxide]

In RTTZ

HoC I'm definitely nearing the end of the story and I'm probably going to enter Prypiat soon

[upbeat coral]

RTTZ Zaton is peak

Jupiter as well

I think only map that isnt peak are Suburbs

But even those are pretty good

[fresh geode]

My atmosfear setting doesn't save lol

I've saved it after applying the settings and it just reverts back to default

Only changed night to be very bright and nothing else

[upbeat coral]

Dont they only apply for new game?

[wary garden]

waiting for patch makes you wish for a nuclear winter

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg

[wind scaffold]

Play on english then. Whats the problem ?

[wind scaffold]

RTTZ - Return to the Zone ?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[sand tiger]

I want to try Team Lite, what do you guys think about that mod?

[blazing lichen]

I like it alot it's unique and worth trying imo

It's got gambling, bartering and other neat features

[sand tiger]

I mean every mods are better than A-mod and G-mod

[blazing lichen]

Ong haha

[sand tiger]

Especially even better that ZCustom

Tbh COTZ is goated for FreePlay mods, maybe I should try TL

[blazing lichen]

Teamlite, legends return and standalone version of call of the zone is pinnacle of freeplay there is an anomaly modpack built off of old world addon called forgotten zone which is pretty cool from my testing

[sand tiger]

Basically A-mod is Last Day copy paste

[blazing lichen]

Fr

[sand tiger]

Though I didn't like Com and Last Day THAT much

[blazing lichen]

There is an OWA COTZ in development but it may be awhile

Same I wasn't too into them

[sand tiger]

Com was peak but there were TOO few stalkers npc

[upbeat coral]

Freeplay?
More like
Free boredom

[upbeat coral]

A mod is fork of Last Day that adds more garbage and removed cool features and customizations that actually make up a difference in gameplay
Seriously why would they remove weather settings for each map in favour of global ones

Just look at how diverse the maps are in lets say Dead Air
Red Forest is foggy irradiated deathzone while Rostok is sunny safeplace

I hate A mod
