Impossible anything Anomaly touches usually turns into dogshit

[blazing lichen]

Naw this one is good as its built off of owa the ONLY good anomaly content

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/stalker-forgotten-zone-beta

Works for 1.5.3 aswell

[wild yacht]

Oh that’s interesting actually

[fresh geode]

Bruh where the hell is nimble?

It's been like two days since I said him to get a sniper rifle

I even travelled between yanov and zarton or some shi for 5 or 6 times

[sand tiger]

Depends.
I mean what I like about free play mods is that you make your stalker with your own RP stuff.
However story modes mods are cool because they are not pointless, like peaksphere or wind of chads

Peaksphere is the peak of story stalker mods

[sand tiger]

Never tried, cuz it's been a few months that I don't play anomaly

But from what I've heard it's cool

[blazing lichen]

I'm gonna play it later down the road I'm on a stalker break atm tbh

[upbeat coral]

Its always the "stalker break" and never the "Goldsphere marathon"

Smh

[blazing lichen]

Soon..

Can someone help please. I am trying to disable all the camera shaking effects when firing a weapon. I am playing a Mod called "Radiophobia 3" for SHOC. This is what I did so far:
set all cam values to 0 in every weapon config file
set all zoom_cam to 0 in every weapon config file
set all dispersion values to 0 in every weapon config file
deleted actor_effects.script

--> Result: nothing helped. I still get a visual recoil camera effect when firing a weapon:(. Can someone help please?!

[upbeat coral]

dispersion is accuracy, not recoil afaik

The first collector's stash in Wild Territory doesn't spawn 💀

Not on the unfinished building, not under the debris on the rail trak, and not behind the bar exit

Or am I just stupid

yess I am stupid they moved the bar exit stash

[upbeat coral]

[idle matrix]

If you watch a video for an old version yeah they move some of those and voronin documents between versions

[idle matrix]

Is this not the mod channel?

Collectors stashes are an OP-2 thing

[blazing lichen]

Oh is this for op2?

Sorry I thought of stalker 2 when I heard that

[unborn ledge]

cheers vro

[idle matrix]

👍

[unborn ledge]

Now I'm gonna do some stuff in the mines

for miner

[idle matrix]

everyone's second favorite map after labyrinth

[blazing lichen]

Can't wait to get there

[idle matrix]

cave you can get to early if you hate yourself

but going there sucks so its best to consolidate visits. like forgotten forest

if you can handle it is is sort of worth it for a quest that nets you a nice shotgun tho

[blazing lichen]

Forgotten forest..

I went there for the first time not long ago and I was NOT prepared

[unborn ledge]

everyone forgets it exists ngl

for now I'm just trying to do quests and other stuff

[idle matrix]

you will go back much later and still not be prepared. fortunately you don't have to go there TOO much

Once you have a crowbar you can at least 1 hit most of the bigger mutants

[unborn ledge]

I'm never going back to the jupiter underground

I don't usually get scared of spiders but holy shit

Although breaking the economy with spider paws is worth it

[idle matrix]

Yeah they are pretty terrifying

[unborn ledge]

also im tryna find those skat upgrades

[idle matrix]

Don't remember off the top of my head but yeah they're a good thing to get. That suit can carry you far

[idle matrix]

Okay yeah the upgrades come from various quests, might be a while before you can get them all

[ruby citrus]

💅

[idle matrix]

Thinking of detouring into global war for a bit, but what faction to play

[blazing lichen]

Now that's tough tbh

Great khan's?

[idle matrix]

Eh, sure, I'll give it a shot

[blazing lichen]

Ccon starts with Gauss rifles aswell

[idle matrix]

idk if there has been any news on the next release yet

Start with L85, not bad for bandits

never ever found this area before. based

I was wondering how NPCs even get down here and they just burrow through the earth and climb down through the rock ceiling lmao

Also it rains down here still

whenever they fix whatever bugs cause NPCs to not come online properly this mod will be truly peak

And just the random times territories drop out of control with a squad there

@blazing lichen do you know if scientific station is a buildo map or is it just from another mod originally

[blazing lichen]

Tbh I'm not sure sadly

[idle matrix]

its a pretty good one aesthetically

Only real complaint is 5 bases on a map this size seems excessive and I'll probably start steamrolling as soon as I capture the whole thing

[idle matrix]

Okay wow this map has some really cool design too. Found a hole in the ground that led to an underground railway station which connected to a set of tunnels that goes under the central base

[blazing lichen]

AYO

Man I need to play GW soon

There's so many cool new maps

[wild yacht]

Global War?

[blazing lichen]

yeah

[idle matrix]

And the existing maps have a lot of cool changes

[wild yacht]

Ah I’ve seen a video of a guy playing every faction but idk it’s perhaps too much #factionwars for me lol

[blazing lichen]

it's nice for when you want action and a break from freeplay and story mods imo

[wild yacht]

Fair enough I’ll still probably try it at some point then

[idle matrix]

It's laser focused on shooting things and pretty good at it. Doesn't really feel like stalker except for how you approach fights tactically but it's good

[young fable]

https://youtu.be/kMKFzDsGjno

[idle matrix]

lmao you can cap one of the points from underground. though without actually securing the area the squad will just get massacred coming in

[wild yacht]

I think my only real problem with GW is the random Russian groups there for some reason, and also some factions very copy paste

[idle matrix]

Yeah. It could do with either a few fewer factions overall or making some of them more unique

There's like 4-5 bandit factions and 4-5 mercenary factions and 3 or so military ones

[wild yacht]

But from what I understand you can disable factions at the start menu?

[idle matrix]

Haven't tried that but maybe. I will have to check

[cinder oxide]

Where is Jekan new mod

[unborn ledge]

Currently prop flying in stalker

[ruby citrus]

i'm going insane

[ruby citrus]

@lunar trail i assume you found it already, i'd personally suggest starting with something like OLR 2.5 or Spatial Anomaly

[upbeat coral]

GOLDSPHERE Completion: Adventures of Jekan

wassap

[lunar trail]

I found the spreadsheet, I will try Spatial Anomaly though 👍

[ruby citrus]

[upbeat coral]

[ruby citrus]

will you be able to exchange a copy of jekan's new mod for an actually good mod though

[ruby citrus]

ONE OF US

[upbeat coral]

it will be great
it got cum anomalies

[blazing lichen]

Peak..

[ruby citrus]

nvm donating all my possessions to jekan

[upbeat coral]

also takes place in ISOTD map
like the 2 RTZ DLCs did

[blazing lichen]

Peak..

[upbeat coral]

this map specifically if the 24 minute showcase video is anything to go by

took place somewhere around here

[wind scaffold]

Which one ? Tetris or Wolf catch eggs ?

[upbeat coral]

he doesnt show
but probably the Wolf judging by the colour of the console itself

[wind scaffold]

What this all means ? I dont understand. Please explain.

[upbeat coral]

In Spite of the Death (ISOTD for short) is a series of mods with some amazing maps, third mod never released but the maps were released publically
Jekan used some of them in his expansions (Journey and Memories) for his Return to the Zone mod
Specifically Topi in Journey and Wild Forest in Memories

Now in his next mod he will use the Okrest map, also from ISOTD

Here are his two videos showcasing the mod
The first one is age restricted so you have to be logged in to Youtube to view it

Raid into Promzone
https://youtu.be/tHBAB86_xk8?feature=shared

Trade system showcase
https://youtu.be/ajQGiLg_Rv0?feature=shared

Thanks for explanation.

[upbeat coral]

I have a spreadsheet with modded maps if you want to view some of them
not all have pictures assigned but most do

Why i never use Degtyarev emoji ? I hate Call of Pripyat, but love Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky.

[wind scaffold]

Global Zone mod is good ? What this mod about ?

[upbeat coral]

I havent played it yet, but the maps are really cool so I will definitely try it one day

[idle matrix]

okay actually getting out of these tunnels under the scientific station is a little jank. Gotta climb an elevator shaft which will alert everyone inside, then jump off behind you onto some planks

[idle matrix]

achieved peak global war because the game ran at 10 fps for a couple minutes for no discernable reason

[idle matrix]

ohhhh these faction leaders. i forgot about this

[blazing lichen]

wonder if it was alife hiccups

[blazing lichen]

they are so damn tanky lol

[idle matrix]

dude was up on a crane with an M60 sniping anyone who approached the base. Finally got inside to where I should peek out and beam him while he was distracted by the goons. Still took almost all my ammo

[upbeat coral]

43rd mod finished
no idea what to play now

[blazing lichen]

teamlite..

[upbeat coral]

I will play freeplay mods once they start being better than story mods (never)

[blazing lichen]

forgotten zone..

[upbeat coral]

freeplay...

[idle matrix]

is forgotten zone good?

[upbeat coral]

I kinda hate OWA modpacks ngl

[blazing lichen]

its pretty good imo

[upbeat coral]

I feel like they all un-OWA the OWA

[blazing lichen]

how come ?

ah

[upbeat coral]

if that makes sense

[blazing lichen]

it does yeah

thankfully FZ from my testing is as a big offender as say old world custom

[upbeat coral]

people immidiately start adding random garbage, UHQ gun models random ass texture packs and shaders and shit

only freeplay you will see me play will be OWA 2.0 when it releases

[blazing lichen]

god i cant wait!

owa 2 with cotz will be perfect..

[idle matrix]

taking over that base melted my brain a little, that may be enough GW for right now

[blazing lichen]

sounds like the perfect time to take break

[frozen citrus]

is that gunslinger mp mod anygood?

[wild yacht]

X-Ray Multiplayer Extension for CoP?

[frozen citrus]

x-ray

indeed

[wild yacht]

I'm gonna play it with three of my friends for the first time after I finish my current S2 run, so I don't personally know. but it looks alright to me based on the videos I've seen

[upbeat coral]

its okay
altho most of the Gunslinger stuff has been removed
including the good features

[frozen citrus]

darn
any good alternatives?

[wild yacht]

Not really, there is another nearly identical mod for SoC but you need to join a discord to download it

which while not entirely a red flag but its still a bit sus

[upbeat coral]

nope
altho I wouldnt see the removal of Gunslinger as downside

[blazing lichen]

gamma situation

gotta join the discord to get it

[wild yacht]

what features of Gunslinger does it even remove?

[upbeat coral]

all pretty much
I think the only stuff that stays is gun models and animations
but upgrade system is gone completely
inability to cancel animations is gone too iirc

[frozen citrus]

remember the mod stuff you helped me with last
what if i took the MP part of it, took out the gunslinger part, and added that stuff to it

[upbeat coral]

dont think thats possible without the help of the MP devs

[frozen citrus]

you think they would be willing to help?

[upbeat coral]

no idea
never talked to them

[frozen citrus]

the discord is called X-ray multiplayer extension right?

[wild yacht]

I'm not sure tbh, I only know their ModDB page

[frozen citrus]

im in, brb

they are on do not disturb

worst version of the worst wannabe bildo mod

Dezowave has been modding stalker for over 17 years and so far they only released two mods, both being horrid garbage

[neon socket]

I mean I did liked the mod My only dislike is sidorovich broken voice he sounds like a crackhead a.i in the mod also the enemies are bullet sponges

[upbeat coral]

only good thing are maps
story is laughable, sidequests make you walk back and forth and balance only gets worse with every update

[neon socket]

I've noticed it's like true stalker barely any A life map feels really dead most missions feels like it's on repeat mode which kinda makes me want to unistall it

Was hooked but got bored

[upbeat coral]

true stalker really is Lost Alpha of this decade

they are similar in many ways

they both have great maps, both underdelivered, both have some really cool technical stuff and bad story

Sad day today in my OWA playthrough. At the start when I was just a rookie passing through Rostok I needed to go through Wild Territory where I found the mercs that killed the Dutier stationed at the barrier. Me and Duty Captain Vinograd who was armed with PKM and Exo rushed them and took it over. Twas peak. Afterwards we cleared the Wild Territory and he got Duty reinforcements at the barrier. Now today I'm coming back up from the bunker and I get a notification on my PDA. Captain Vinograd died to bloodsuckers. I then re purge Wild Territory and kill all bloodsucker squads and found where he had his stand. At the entrance to the underground he got cornered and blasted through a bloodsucker but the rest got to him, when I got to where he had his stand the body either despawned or fell through the map

rip to a real one

[upbeat coral]

wouldnt happen if he was a renegade

[ember kindle]

Yeah he'd just die to

[wild yacht]

Sad day to be tutorial bandits

[upbeat coral]

Errrmmm actually

They are the lategame bandits as well

The guys guarding the bridge to Limansk are renegades

[wild yacht]

I thought they were the ones in the Mine

[upbeat coral]

That too

Basically everywhere you fight "bandits" outside the faction wars, its always Renegades

[blazing lichen]

Based renegades

[viscid viper]

So... STSoC and STCS?

wait

ive heard of STCS before

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

Also
STSoC was recently translated by PsyWarVereran
Who is probably the best mod translator we have right now

its literally a cheap NS knockoff
shit ton of items except in NS they at least have reason to exist
not to mention NS also adds actual content

I am packing up my shit to move to a new apartment today, so I won't get to play much probably but the internet company won't be able to install my internet probably until two days after i move in so I'll probably have plenty of time to play it then lmao

extended is even worse lmao

[valid oasis]

Saw some guy playing it lot but never tried

[upbeat coral]

as for NLC
its extremely impressive
but at the same time, not very fun to play

it doesnt have many fans, but people who like it are extremely dedicated

and for a good reason

try it, even if you wont like it, its worth a shot

[valid oasis]

I see. So far CoC + IWP + CoTZ could beat them all

[upbeat coral]

IWP

💀

[blazing lichen]

Cotz, teamlite, legends return all you need for freeplay mods

iwp is skippable imo

biggest russian soup mod with a decade worth of content in it

[idle matrix]

it's uh... actually let's just roll the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiUyWsJbyeU

[blazing lichen]

op2 aint for the faint of heart tbh

[versed crane]

that's some high quality shit

[blazing lichen]

fr one of my favorite mods

keep in mind to 100% it can take anywhere from 500 to 1000 hours

[versed crane]

I'ma install it rn

[idle matrix]

it's insane, and difficult, but weirdly cool. there's a wiki for it that i highly recommend

[blazing lichen]

https://op-2.fandom.com/wiki/Starter_guide

^

the wiki will help alot its good to reference it

op2 is the biggest soup mod so far

[idle matrix]

There's sort of a method to the madness but a lot of the time it can just feel like madness

[blazing lichen]

ong haha

i got about 14 hours in it so far

horror hour is cool imo

[sick sand]

Going to start playing another Jekan creation soon... Wonder how good or bad it'll be

[blazing lichen]

aye based you playing escape from the zone or return?

[sick sand]

Don't know yet. Basically, I just want to play the next thing he made after goldsphere

[blazing lichen]

that would be escape i believe

[idle matrix]

yeah it's escape and then return

[idle matrix]

I get a little upset when it misfires

I played some decent number of hours before stopping but still absolutely nowhere near even like the 1/3 point lol

But I am a slow player

[blazing lichen]

its good not to rush op2 imo

[idle matrix]

I kinda enjoy doing random cyclic tasks to get ammo and anomalous grenades

[blazing lichen]

anomalous grenades are such a cool feature

they came in so handy in the caves..

[idle matrix]

Never leave home without a couple and some napalm grenades for good measure if you are going underground

[sick sand]

Also, what's so special in RTTN? Is it worth playing it after playing CotZ or it'll be more of the same?

[idle matrix]

It's got some new mutants and its own story

And a rearranged world map

Pretty good if you have a taste for misery based mods

I think the last time I played OP-2 I had some artifacts that were minutes away from finishing cooking when an emission hit

I'd just unlocked the recipes for some of the basic ones which was gonna open up my options

It is one of the "features" of the mod that the beginning is insanely hard but once you get good gear it becomes just hard

Well now I want to at least poke my head back into my save file and try to figure out tf I was doing. Fortunately I got into the habit of keeping notes after a bit

[blazing lichen]

oof man thats rough haha

i gotta keep notes when i play

would be cool to get mid to late run

[idle matrix]

What I gotta do is get off my ass and do old documents part 4 to finally get the exo

I guess I can add that to my to do list

[blazing lichen]

man you're making me wanna play op2...

[idle matrix]

its infectious

[idle matrix]

oh yeah my other OP-2 tip: Shamelessly turn on the collector stash markers for your first playthrough. You will not find them without those or a guide unless you spend literal hours combing the maps for them.

[idle matrix]

Okay I was carrying 37 bottles of vodka and you don't do that for no reason but I have no idea wtf the reason was

Nothing in my notes about it

I could do the controller's stash but idk if that's the best use for it rn

hell yeah got a stash with a SVU and mama's beads

I guess I still got it because I fought 3 chimeras and a dozen mercs getting to another stash in warehouses, aka your daily commute out of rostok

[idle matrix]

it was OP2.2 where Marked One knows he can quicksave, right?

[idle matrix]

Yeah there's one mission after which he says to someone something like "I have a secret button that I can't tell you about"

[upbeat coral]

hehe

[idle matrix]

well going to darkscape sucks but at least in this mod i can drive the turbo bus

[wild yacht]

do I put the community update file in the CotZ database folder?

[blazing lichen]

Yeah I just drop it into the main cotz folder and hit yes if any overwrites

[wild yacht]

It's time

[upbeat coral]

Chrome

💀

[wild yacht]

yeaaaah

I'm just used to it at this point

[blazing lichen]

i use edge for the same reason tbh

[wild yacht]

As long as I close down my tabs for chrome its not a big deal, hell I’ve had them open for most of my S2 runs and not had too many problems

[ember kindle]

Same

[upbeat coral]

edge is still garbage but at least it knows when to stop chewing on RAM

[blazing lichen]

i always close edge app when gaming because for some reason nvidia overlay gets blocked by edge sometimes at random

So rn I'm playing OLR 2.5 right?

I went to dark valley and spoke to hog
He wanted me to find 2 of his guys in cordon and I can't find them anywhere

[sick sand]

For some reason this is what happens when I'm trying to play with dynamic lighting...

[upbeat coral]

the only thing i remember about 2.5 dark valley is that you get ambushed there

3.0 is much more fun, because THE FOG IS COMING

[upbeat coral]

Ashot had arguably worse fate

[idle matrix]

total bloodbath in the cordon, good god. finally went and triggered the army attack on the rookie village and it's suitably over the top for OP

i needed to blow up the BTRs at the checkpoint so i could drive sid's stupid car out of the swamps

[wild yacht]

[idle matrix]

drove the ultra fast bus through darkscape again but grazed a vortex, so it went flying until it hit a tree and exploded. I was wearing an exo so I lost half my health but was otherwise fine

dropped me in a prime position to start sniping the mercenaries that spawned in for the quest i was on

It's something I was always interested in in the Trilogy

Wish we got more of that

[orchid berry]

Wait, is this Soup?

[upbeat coral]

Theres tons upon tons of community made labs but very few specifically underground mods

[ebon tusk]

NS is a soup mod, and so is OP2, and so is DSH yes

[orchid berry]

Looks like STALKERSOUP at least

Seen the whole cave thing

[ebon tusk]

p sure StalkerSoup is a NS offspring

[orchid berry]

[upbeat coral]

Mod it untill it crashes
Its officialy too modded

[ruby citrus]

hard crash?

[cinder oxide]

I wonder if there will ever be a mod that ports the S2 story to the trilogy gameplay

And aesthetic

[upbeat coral]

Eww

[idle matrix]

somehow op-2 is very stable

that was only my third crash in like 70 hours

[young fable]

hey, I've played the original three games and now want to give modding a try

should I start with gamma or anomaly?

[ebon tusk]

try OGSR Legacy

[young fable]

what's that

[ebon tusk]

Total Conversion mod for SOC that completely changes the game by adding locations and quests while changing the main quest, adding weapons and mechanics as well

[ruby citrus]

play oblivion lost remake 2.5

[idle matrix]

Spatial Anomaly and Incubator are also good, pretty short and self contained experiences

[blazing lichen]

^

So many better mods then gamma and anomaly

[upbeat coral]

I should put the cat tax back in place

[blazing lichen]

yes

[dapper quarry]

Can someone explain to me what the main differences between Anomaly and AREA are?

[upbeat coral]

Area actually has interesting features

Anomaly is just bloated garbage

Both are shit in terms of gameplay
But AREA is cool on paper at least

[minor plaza]

Guys

Is there Lost Alpha for like 1.00006 version

Of SoC

[upbeat coral]

Wat

Lost Alpha is standalone

[idle matrix]

Area is there to cause mental anguish but it is cool on paper yeah

[sick sand]

If you want a freeplay/sandbox experience that is close to original games - play Call of the Zone, it has the biggest amount of actually cool features and quests. Anomaly and GAMMA (Especially GAMMA) are very different from original games and try to lean into crafting/survival/"realism" too much without adding actually interesting mechanics/quests/encounters to the game, you'll spend more time managing stuff in your inventory than actually playing the game. If that still sounds interesting to you - might as well start with GAMMA because it has the biggest amount of that management and bloat as a whole. Anomaly without any addons is just too bland, yeah.

[blazing lichen]

dont tell them to start with gamma wtf lol

teamlite, call of the zone, legends return, teamlite, forgotten zone, road to the north are all better by miles and thats not even including story mods

gamma is goofy

[minor plaza]

How many LA things I gotta download

I'm lost right now

I'm lost like the lost Alpha

[minor plaza]

So I was a complete idiot

Turns out I gotta download all of LADC from 1 to 6

Whoops

[sick sand]

If they are still interested in it after what I said - they might like it, let them have fun with it like I let you have fun with CS and OP2

[blazing lichen]

fair counterpoint

[idle matrix]

I at least acknowledge that OP-2 is a niche experience for sickos

[blazing lichen]

truly the most peak..

god man its gonna be crazy trying to 100% it lol

[idle matrix]

I would not even try for s.t.a.l.k.e.r. on a first playthrough

[blazing lichen]

is that an achievement ?

[idle matrix]

Yeah it's the ultimate completionist achievement that requires a lot of specific things to be done

But if you get it you're officially a top tier gigachad

[blazing lichen]

one day..

not a first playthrough thing though

[idle matrix]

I'd be happy just to get vivid nightmare

[blazing lichen]

whats that? finishing on nightmare?

[idle matrix]

Yeah reach the credits only playing on nightmare

It's the intended difficulty anyway

[blazing lichen]

i'm gonna aim for that

plague rats in the beginning are so rough lol

[idle matrix]

Yes the hobo stage of op-2 is brutal. Though tbh plague rarely stops being annoying, just more manageable when you can actually have a stash of serum

Probably my least favorite mechanic and that's saying something with all the mechanics in the mod

Though artifact decay isn't that far behind

My advice is to try and complete x-16 as soon as you can manage because after that you can start finding exos which are both great loot to sell once you unlock the right traders and also the armor you want. I found an ecologist exo soon after in a stash and together with finally having decent bulletproof artifacts it's a big game changer

It doesn't stop you from getting blasted by the underbarrel grenades telekinetically controlled by invisible burers to home in on you, but it does stop you from getting one shot by random goons

[blazing lichen]

AYO??

ill deff speedrun x16

[idle matrix]

On nightmare the cap on bullet resist from artifacts is 60% so long term that's your magic number. That gets applied before the armor reduction so it's pretty important

[blazing lichen]

can you get cloaking exo earlier in the mod ?

[idle matrix]

Uhhh not sure, I don't think so. It's kind of a niche use item though

[blazing lichen]

some army guys at the cordon bridge have them but idk if lootable and i dont wanna make them hostile

[idle matrix]

You will get one eventually though

[blazing lichen]

would soft lock me

peak

did you find any anomalous guns yet?

i know ns 2016 has a WA2000

[idle matrix]

Yeah I've picked some up off cloaked militaries

[blazing lichen]

based af

[idle matrix]

The cordon checkpoint retaliation attack included a couple of them along with like three dozen other guys and five attack choppers that strafing run you with missiles

[blazing lichen]

is there fallout 3/nv plasma rifle there aswell? i saw the green tip

[blazing lichen]

AYO lol

[idle matrix]

I just hid under the bridge near the rookie village and prayed until they went away then helped the guys in the village clean up. Miraculously everyone except the key NPCs died

[idle matrix]

IDK probably I haven't found it yet though

[blazing lichen]

hard to tell what it is

[idle matrix]

how far did you get before taking a break

[blazing lichen]

i got up to the garbage and spent some time there

[idle matrix]

Ah yeah. Well it's just good practice in general but definitely read the wiki page on x-18 before going there. There are a couple nasty surprises.

Also if you want to do the unhinged idiot method of dark valley there's a wiki page on that too which involves intentionally breaking quest scripting by going there through forgotten forest. It can save you a fat stack of cash

[blazing lichen]

ill take a peak and oh man forgotten forest..

i went in there for sid and i got CLAPPED i was not prepared to get rushed like that lol

[idle matrix]

yeah my advice for going there is don't unless you really need to

Mutant clusterfuck every time

[blazing lichen]

i like that i got jumped by surprise i was feeling myself after the mercs in garbage now that was hard as hell

op2 is good at humbling..

[idle matrix]

Yeah sometimes you roll up on some side content you are clearly not prepared for. One of the reasons to mostly focus on the shadow of chernobyl story is it unlocks a lot of basic stuff for you

Though I've been kinda screwing around avoiding going to the brain scorcher

[rich knot]

In Ghosts of Past you fight ghosts of the wehrmacht

[ruby citrus]

such a shame there's not a videoessay on op

[idle matrix]

It would be require a volume of videos to discuss in full

Though I guess if you just wanted to talk about the overall design and approach it could be one video

[ruby citrus]

i think you could build some cool narrative and condense it in 2 or 3 hours

[idle matrix]

There is definitely like... An arc you can see if you focus hard enough, at least in the sense that there's an early, mid, and late game in the current version

[ruby citrus]

i'd have to play it myself tbh to know

maybe this summer...

[idle matrix]

At least the thing I see cited as exiting early game is doing the casket and safe storyline since it's a bottleneck to most of the rest of the storylines and areas

Also makes it painful if you screw it up

[blazing lichen]

Isn't there op3 in development?

Thought I saw a new soup in development on the c-con server

[idle matrix]

Tbh no idea if there's some new version of OP in the works either a 3.0 or 2.3

[blazing lichen]

I know there is an OGSR op in dev but that's a separate project

[idle matrix]

It's already a thing but yeah it's a fork of OP-2.1

[blazing lichen]

2.1 actually got a few forks

DSH is a combo of 2.1 and nlc

[idle matrix]

I forget where 2.1 ends. Dunno if it has chess player arc

[ruby citrus]

there's an OP 2.2 story addon in development i think

[ruby citrus]

Even 2.0 has chess player iirc

[idle matrix]

It's a pretty long one so I guess maybe it didn't all come out at once

[ruby citrus]

i think chess player was a separate addon entirely and just got included in OP 2, honestly NS is confusing

[idle matrix]

OP-2 decided to put me in my place tonight with 2 electro poltergeists and a crawling pyrogeist and 3 snorks and 2 karlics and some other assorted mutants camping at the bottom of the x-16 elevator shaft

Then like 5 controllers in the brain room that could attack me through the floors. That isn't counting the horde of mutants out in front of the factory too, but that was at least a fair fight. Just getting out of there got me OP'ed out for the day

[blazing lichen]

Holy shit haha that's intense

[idle matrix]

the trick was to get a vortex grenade down there without also killing myself

which took... a few tries

[blazing lichen]

Op2.. the great filtering experience.. I'm gonna have to remember this for when I get to x-16

[idle matrix]

It wasn't the first visit for the story but I remember it still being pretty nuts the first time

I was going back for some side missions

[blazing lichen]

I can't wait to experience this haha I'm on a minor gaming break atm

[idle matrix]

I am definitely gonna have to do some work to restock on shotgun ammo after that

The exit to the tunnels was also being camped by controllers and burers but they were not nearly as hyperaware as the poltergeists at the entrance were

I would say hopefully things are a little less nuts for a bit after this, but I know I am gonna have to come back to the factory area again at least in order to finish the mission

This is also why you hard save before trying anything important. If I didn't have my good grenades with me I woulda been stuck

[upbeat coral]

since you are using OWR, no existing recoil mods will be compatible

vanilla SoC doesnt have these issues

gamma doesnt

[idle matrix]

i think new project is gonna have em too

[upbeat coral]

you mean 3DSS or actual PiP?

[idle matrix]

looks like actual PiP to me, but IDK for sure. They have their own version of xray they made for this mod https://youtu.be/o-ih5BJnnHM?t=69

[ruby citrus]

this looks like a metro game 😭😭😭

[upbeat coral]

shut up
its the most promising upcoming mod

[ruby citrus]

smh not a true buildo fanatic

[idle matrix]

The demo the trailer is for was just the tutorial which is in an underground area at least

But it did have some Metro vibes there

[ruby citrus]

every mod should look like 2003 OL showcase in 800x600

it's the only way

[upbeat coral]

umm
Hrust is working on it

insstead of making patches for OLR 3.0

[blazing lichen]

Every mod should have teamlites and op2 static lighting

[upbeat coral]

so theres that

[ruby citrus]

don't care for SOP 💅💅

[idle matrix]

IDK if they are still sticking to their original plans but they were gonna release the first third of the mod to get feedback while working on the rest

Which was gonna be expanded versions of Cordon, Garbage, Agroprom, and Dark Valley

[upbeat coral]

ISOTD Garbage

[idle matrix]

They did do a video showcasing their version of Garbage a couple years ago https://youtu.be/gZu3Df4od98

[upbeat coral]

yup

its ISOTD Garbage

or its at least built around that

[idle matrix]

oh nice

[upbeat coral]

I recognized it due to the building with satellite on top of it and asked the devs

[blazing lichen]

Peak

[upbeat coral]

I actually preffer the original ISOTD pda map to The Exception one
since the Snow Zone actually looks like snow and not like piss

[idle matrix]

Oh yeah you can actually see this on the PDA in their old gameplay demo

and the expanded Agroprom

[upbeat coral]

agropeak

[idle matrix]

Theirs is different, I don't recognize this one

[upbeat coral]

oh yeah
they said only Garbage is not their original map

theirs looks peak in its own right

[idle matrix]

Yeah this looks pretty based

[upbeat coral]

I love when modders expand maps in ways that makes sense

like they take general description of the area and work off it

[idle matrix]

Yeah definitely interested to see what those new clusters of buildings house

[upbeat coral]

they look completely new as well

I dont remember seeing any areas like that in any mod before
knowing New Project they probable have new modelss as well

[idle matrix]

Yeah probably some at least

[neat dune]

inever._ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich knot]

50 dollars

Ok so dollar sign then 50 is a bad word

[blazing lichen]

[neat dune]

inever._ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich knot]

[blazing lichen]

[rich knot]

Peak will be automodded...

[blazing lichen]

grok and gammas server taking a massive W rn..

[upbeat coral]

only thing they are taking are mods

[minor plaza]

How the hell do I fix this

Can't find Variable scope_name in [wpn_abakan]

[upbeat coral]

womp womp

what mod?

[wild yacht]

Some reason everytime I walk into Garbage and get jumped by the Military I get the notification that the Mercs and the Loners have agreed to a ceasefire

[upbeat coral]

The Journey is pretty cool so far

[idle matrix]

That's the one where you're a guy living just outside the Zone like 10-20 years after the trilogy who goes looking for his brother right

That was kind of an unusual one but the mood is very strong

[blazing lichen]

I gotta try that one

[ruby citrus]

me when purgatory

[blazing lichen]

Is this an soc based mod? @upbeat coral that skybox and lighting are peak

[ruby citrus]

pretty sure its cop

[blazing lichen]

Not peak..

I wish stalker 2 used the og xray

[cinder oxide]

Which mod is this?

[idle matrix]

yeah it's CoP. The mod is just called The Journey

[cinder oxide]

Jekan new mod?

Oh interesting

[idle matrix]

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

[upbeat coral]

its CoP

[ruby citrus]

i wish stalker 2 was a ukrainian political drama with yaoi...

[upbeat coral]

no

Jekans new mod will be Awakening 2055

[cinder oxide]

Warlockracy typa game

[ruby citrus]

warlockracy refuses to cover stalker mods
he's afraid....

[cinder oxide]

It's the truth

[upbeat coral]

too bad
best GSC can do is wannabe non-political soap opera

[ruby citrus]

i wish russians were right and S2 was russophobic af

[blazing lichen]

He would get filtered by cotz lol

[upbeat coral]

I wish Stalker was political

[blazing lichen]

I wish there was commies to kill

[ruby citrus]

warlockracy is the last type of person to get filtered by anything

[blazing lichen]

I was just joking

[upbeat coral]

I hate when games are so non political that it becomes bland grey political mish mash

[blazing lichen]

Idk why gsc whitewashed lotz trilogy

[upbeat coral]

[idle matrix]

speaking of getting filtered, time for me to get back to OP

[blazing lichen]

Peak..

[ruby citrus]

trueeeee
OL/SoC were such contemporary pieces of art, you can literally feel 00s ukraine

[blazing lichen]

Why couldn't they just continue the trilogy

[upbeat coral]

Messer
the Government will nuke the Zone Messer
using Russian nukes Messer

[blazing lichen]

On the brightside gsc devs admitted to playing gamma so atleast they didn't gammafy stalker 2

[upbeat coral]

one did

[blazing lichen]

?

[upbeat coral]

and then entire gammoid brainfart crowd shat themselves over it

[ruby citrus]

messer we need to stop the soviet scientists corrupting kiev messer
messer wake up messer you have to meet with a journalist uncovering political drama messseeerrrr

[upbeat coral]

single dev said he played it before

and thats it

[ruby citrus]

in what sense

[blazing lichen]

Continuation of lore, atmosphere etc instead of all these new retcons

[blazing lichen]

Ah thought the whole team did
