Messer
the commies are using children Messer

thats what the gammoid brainfarts made it sound like
cuz they cant read or something

[blazing lichen]

Fair haha

Slop..

[ruby citrus]

messer you have to kill children messer all hail to the blind dogs

[idle matrix]

well i think continuing off the trilogy went out the door once griga shut the company down, all those people moved on to other things and when you bring in a new team they're gonna have new creative interests. plus just the passage of time

[blazing lichen]

Fair counter points tbh

If I was head of gsc I'd make the devs play the trilogy before we start dev so they can have it fresh in their minds

Peak sky 2..

[upbeat coral]

Messer
You have to destroy the Monolith, Messer
destroy the Black Monolith Messer

[ruby citrus]

As i said, stalker is an extremely contemporary piece of art, my point isn't "they should've sticked to 00s feeling", it's "they should've sticked to the bit and embraced 2022 setting"

[upbeat coral]

tru

[ruby citrus]

MESSER
COLLECT MY DOCUMENTS MESSER

[idle matrix]

Yeah agreed. Though they wound up in a weird place where the landscape changed very rapidly around them as they made the game

[blazing lichen]

Ngl it would be interesting to see the Z trenches built and abandoned

[ruby citrus]

well maybe not literally incorporate the war

[blazing lichen]

Ah my bad haha thought that's what you meant

[upbeat coral]

unless its a war between dogs and dwarves

[blazing lichen]

Kot wars..

[idle matrix]

though i guess the conflict really started in like 2014, but

[ruby citrus]

yeahhgggghghh

[blazing lichen]

But erm I hate to be the mod here back to mod talk

Safer this way

[ruby citrus]

i'm not even joking here, it would unironically make the game better

[blazing lichen]

They should remake stalker 2 imo

Remake it on og xray..

[idle matrix]

It could reinforce some of the themes, but... well I won't bring down the mod wrath on this channel. Today's commute out of Rostok involved 3x electrochimera

[upbeat coral]

I wish Skif wasnt a wimp and knew he can quicksave

[blazing lichen]

Electrochimeras??

What is that

[ruby citrus]

messsseeeerrrr wake upppp you have to go to The City messer you have to meet with child gangs hunting prostitutes messerrrr

[idle matrix]

Chimeras except when you damage them they discharge an electro anomaly effect (which takes a few seconds to recharge). Annoying because melee = death

[blazing lichen]

Opeak2.. I'm almost ready for you..

[ruby citrus]

"What is this Oblivion? I really feel Lost... Almost as if i'm some kind of bastard Child of the Zone... Well, no matter... I got this trusty Messer™-brand knife right here with me..."

[blazing lichen]

I will be forged in the fires of opeak and come out a new man

[upbeat coral]

at leasst they dont go invisible

[idle matrix]

like almost everything in this mod it's coded in a very jank way so if another NPC triggers the effect it won't damage you, best bet when they spawn at the north exit of rostok is to just pull them to the duty checkpoint

[ruby citrus]

this really is some kind of Cumulative Pack 2.2

[idle matrix]

some of the quest scripting from the original NS stuff is especially bad

There were also a couple of burers which are honestly much scarier than the chimeras

[rich knot]

Amk has it too but sometimes the mobs are stuck so I just cheesed it with a shotgun for a decent distance so I don't get electro damage

[idle matrix]

You can juke chimeras with marked one's racecar sprinting speed but burers will 360 noscope you with a telekinetic blast as soon as they spot you

[rich knot]

In CotZ Pseudo giants are so easy to cheese. You just walk circles around them while stabbing them with a knife.

[idle matrix]

No need for cheesing here exactly, at least once you can acquire a crowbar from clear sky. You can just get up to a sprint then leap at them and one shot them with it if you time your strike correctly

[upbeat coral]

Morlockover

[rich knot]

Op has a crowbar?!

[idle matrix]

Yeah, and it's pretty handily the best melee weapon you can get in the early game, able to 1-hit even the tougher mutants at full condition. Technically accessible as soon as you return to Cordon after X-18, though it's pretty expensive

[idle matrix]

Just used it to kill 3 more chimeras that ambushed me while fighting monolith at the barrier lol

[upbeat coral]

OGSE has one too

[idle matrix]

alcoholic controller asked me for a case of vodka, left it in a stash for him, then got some stash coordinates

Strelok mutters to himself about how stupid this is then takes a drink himself

[cinder oxide]

stalker 2 is political insofar as the vague faction philosophy can be

It definitely feels like it's regressed to me

Freedom definitely lost most of the libertarian soul it had

Now they're like the "I heart money, I hate dooty" faction

Sidorovich is a cut and dry bad person

Before he was just competitive

[idle matrix]

Freedom selling out could have been a cool subplot if there were actually a subplot about it anywhere

[blazing lichen]

fr

[idle matrix]

But if there were ever any storylines involving duty or freedom they got cut

[ruby citrus]

wdym libertarian

[cinder oxide]

Anarcho capitalist, or at least in that direction. They're very clearly anti govt. pro free market

[cinder oxide]

Like selling out to the Ukrainian government or what?

[idle matrix]

No just them going all in on money making and more or less abandoning their ideology around the zone itself

[ruby citrus]

they're not ancaps in the trilogy, they're actual anarchists 💅

[idle matrix]

Time for the Joker fight

[ruby citrus]

WE LIVE IN THE ZONE...

mikluha should've been a furry

[upbeat coral]

Nah
Thats Voronin

[ruby citrus]

voronin would repress it

[idle matrix]

Okay.... I think I got them all. This is probably only half of them too, the other half I managed to kill before they got close

Then I had to loot them all to find the one with the quest item

This questline kinda sucks

Also it's programmed badly and makes barely any sense

[blazing lichen]

Jeez that's alot of dead mfs what questline is this ?

[sacred juniper]

Can someone help me with clear sky? I wanted to put a mod on it to make it like the abr mod but without those things like infinite weight limit and not having stashes.

[idle matrix]

Missing Expedition

It's one of the stalker stories of all time

Coded in such a way where cause and effect doesn't really exist because you'll get subsequent quest steps before you've finished what should be the previous ones at some points

And the story is... Some scientists went missing and you have to collect a bunch of PDAs to track them down

Peak stalker mod writing

And it's got a few fights like this where you temporarily depopulate the zone of mercs

[sick sand]

That chimera made me quit AMK when I played it for the first time...

[tall blaze]

hi any stalker anomaly players here? im new to stalker games and i just downloaded anomaly

[idle matrix]

I've played it in the past, but not very recently

[blazing lichen]

I'd consider joining the anomaly discord for anomaly content

[tall blaze]

so you play stalker 2 now. damn to have a good pc ooof

[tall blaze]

yeah i will

[idle matrix]

Well I do play S2 yes, but also other mods for the original games

After 15+ years there are a lot of them to try

[sacred juniper]

anyone?

[tall blaze]

im trying to find good graphics mods for anomaly, dont wanna go to hard on my pc but yeah i wanna make it look identical to s2 as much as i can cuz i know i cannot play s2.. you know any?

[idle matrix]

Unfortunately, not really. I'm sure there are some reshade presets out there that would help though, together with some model and texture replacement mods

[upbeat coral]

Just dont play ABR
Its poopy
Use SRP

Theres like zero good things in ABR that SRP wouldnt have

[sacred juniper]

the srp makes the graphics and weapons good?

[upbeat coral]

No
It keeps them as their are
As every bug fixing mod should...

[tall blaze]

oh

[upbeat coral]

Bad start
It has little to do with stalker

All depth was removed
All that remains is a butchered empty carcass filled with random garbage

[idle matrix]

Nice, got level transitions from the freedom base in army warehouses to the northeastern part of dark valley

That is enough OP for now

[fallow sedge]

Idk what this channel is for now considering people just discuss OP2 in #⭐┃trilogy-general, so here are some hyraxes

[blazing lichen]

This animal is super based so ill allow it

[rich knot]

I mean people (including me) talk about fallout in #⭐┃nospoilers_general and talk about stalker in #💬┃en_offtop

Lot less fallout since S2 released tho

[idle matrix]

Point taken though

[blazing lichen]

Speaking of fallout im playing fallout anomaly lol

[cinder oxide]

Wait this kinda looks gorgeous what

[sick sand]

What is that? Is that mod actually named "Fallout anomaly"?

[blazing lichen]

[sour latch]

Played new project recently
Absolute cinema

[idle matrix]

the demo? yeah it's promising

[sour latch]

Super promising like god damn

I hope it's release is peak this year

And it actually has proper multithreading

[idle matrix]

The initial release is supposed to be just the first third or so but it should hopefully be sweet

[sour latch]

The demo has pretty good stuff

[sour latch]

We in 2020 now that's like
Five years after COP right?

When does stalker 2 take place?

[idle matrix]

SoC/CoP are both 2012, Clear Sky is 2011, and S2 is sometime in 2021-2022 or so. Exact date isn't given but in the opening cutscene Skif's calendar says 2021

[sour latch]

Ah so we're one year from S2

[idle matrix]

I suppose, though the mod is probably just gonna have its own timeline

[sour latch]

I'm curious if we'll encounter any of the factions but from what I've seen in the faction relations section I'm not hopeful

Creating your own factions takes A LOT

[sour latch]

Definitely lol

It's pretty promising, I just spent wayyy too long in the demo because I'm dumb and missed the clearly obvious puzzle clues

We're literally playing as Ryan Gosling @idle matrix

So real chat :3

[idle matrix]

they made their own version of xray and own editor for the mod so you would hope its good

[ruby citrus]

modders on their way to create complicated modern tools just to not release their project

[sour latch]

It has proper multithreading
The God's have blessed us

[sour latch]

It's set to release this year
I want to pay the devs but idk if they have patreon or not 😭

LET ME GIVE THE DEVS MONEY

[idle matrix]

they did a dev diary on the editor, its pretty cool

[ruby citrus]

they're prolly some russian fascists anyway 💅

[sour latch]

So real pookie

[sour latch]

Pretty pog
Now look at the pretty jellyfish

[ruby citrus]

goddam

[sour latch]

Also the mod has optimisation settings if you have a toaster PC

[ruby citrus]

fortunately i have a top-of-the-line cutting edge rx7600 💅 💅

that can run even stalker 2 in a mind blowing 40fps

[idle matrix]

didnt realize they had a release date for this year, its been literal years lol

[sour latch]

You finally got paid after slopping grok?

[ruby citrus]

GROK DOESNT PAY ME....

Somehow never noticed that c-con spreadsheet has NS OGSR

[sour latch]

wants to play anomaly/gamma
gets a ton of support with mods, mo2 and all that

then I decide to play any mod other than those, I'm cooked

modding coc? good luck lmao

modding cotz? good luck

the curse of playing stalker mods today

[idle matrix]

Pick a good global mod and it just just be extract and play

[blazing lichen]

Good luck? Modding cotz and coc is easy as fuck

Legit just drag and drop lol

[upbeat coral]

Thats literally not the case

Noz only do you not need to mod mods
But JSGME works with every game ever

AND
CoP has MO2 support

[blazing lichen]

fr

stalker is one of the easier franchises to mod imo

[upbeat coral]

MO2 is only useful here if you want to make mods and need to test some changes without bricking your install

[blazing lichen]

^^

MO2s virtualization is a goated feature

[idle matrix]

There's just a lot that are plug and play basically. Even OP-2 is just running an installer and then patching

And that's on the complicated end for what I've played

[upbeat coral]

Yup
99% of mods are plug and play

And those mods that you need to mod further...
Well
They arent good mods to begin with

man hes my fav protagonist

[rich gate]

bros are in line

[upbeat coral]

I hate minimalistic healthbars

Short ones are okay

Long ones are garbage

[rich gate]

Thats fair

I dont mind them, less crap to see on the screen

[upbeat coral]

You cant tell how much health you have because half the time you can only tell that you arent full

I want at least a simple background to see where the bar ends

[rich gate]

oh yeah that would be cool

IWP does not have many good HUD mods maybe except the alternative ones made by the actual devs

which is similar to COP but a bit smaller and better

also has CS rad indicator

which is kinda peak

man I want it back on rn

Woah

[upbeat coral]

I use this hud for my modded CoP install

The background is stolen from some OWA addon

[rich gate]

Looking kinda cool ngl

[upbeat coral]

Yup
The rad indicator isnt CS style tho

Its just blinking green/yellow/red

[rich gate]

yeah I figured

ngl I will say something that will make you happy

I think I actually enjoyed golden ball-

I mean golden sphere

[upbeat coral]

Did you play OGSE version?

I think I just played the regular one

I should probably continue that, still got it installed

It started with the protagonist, then it changed over to other menu pictures of other characters

[upbeat coral]

Oh yeah
Thats OGSE

oh ok

Think I should make the green bit darker
And maybe change the frequency it blinks at
It looks by far the worst of the three

[rich gate]

idk, I do not seem bothered

up to you though, will probably look better

anyway some online friend of mine wants to try STALKER but hes busy so he only has time for one

I either recommended ShoC or CoP

he decided to try ShoC

I would of personally chosen CoP, but not bad

rest can only be detected by bolts, not discharged

Any freeplay mods that's not CoC, or Anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

many

CotZ for probably the best radiant tasks

Dead Air for more hardcore approach

Team Lite for its interesting features and good atmosphere

Dollchan 8 and Road to the North for good story built on bassis of CoC
RTTN has really cool ideas and rearranges maps to make the world a bit more fresh again
while Dollchan has less maps but they are either edited or fully custom

[idle matrix]

Global War for lots of shooting

[upbeat coral]

true

much shooting

much wwow

[idle matrix]

It does one thing and I can't even say it does it super well because it's buggy, but when it does work it's very good at it

[upbeat coral]

[sick sand]

CotZ is still CoC tho......

Same goes for Dead Air...

(Didn't read other text, I'm lazy)

[upbeat coral]

but better

[upbeat coral]

but uhh
different

also there arent many freeplay mods nowadays that arent forks of CoC

he could play Dooms Merge Mod but eh..

[wild yacht]

CotZ has been very enjoyable so far

only minor problem is that somehow there are stalkers spawning north of the Brain Scorcher and I can’t get those quests done

also the Loners decided to ally with the Bandits against Duty, so my stash in the Bar is unavailable unless I go in and extract my shit by force

[upbeat coral]

Based Loners finally realized who the real scum of the Zone is

[wild yacht]

Yes well now I can’t give Barkeep his bloody Boar’s Head Seasoning and the plant has been sitting in my bag for the past 10 hours of gameplay

I think I’ve put roughly 30-40 hours in to my current game and I’m still not even at the Brainscorcher, waiting for some guy in Dark Valley to make something for me

think next character I do will either be Military or Clear Sky

[upbeat coral]

gimme a sec

which floppies do you have?

the numbers I mean

number 8 is on the top floor, behind the elevator shaft pillar
14 is in the green box in the bathroom next to the kitchen

also
the Commandants key is in the the safety room next to where they throw you in the radioactive pit

in a small grey box in the corner

its where the bossman stands

I dont remember where the last floppy is tho

I can't open the green box

I need some key for that

Commandants key, yes

in the grey box

[orchid berry]

@upbeat coral
Do you have a good vid of the Exception which displays the underground stuff?

Also, what's it about?

[idle matrix]

The premise of the mod is that you play an assassin named Thomas who has been around the zone for a while and is contracted by a loner to kill five saboteurs and bring photographs of the bodies to him as proof. Don't really want to spoil the details of where things go, but safe to say there are twists and turns along the way to finishing the job. Gameplay wise there's a lot of rewards for exploring, a lot of new and unique artifacts, slightly more survival elements than vanilla but without being super hardcore

[upbeat coral]

No
Its relatively new mod
So no videos on it

[upbeat coral]

Also crap ton of new muties
We love killing muties

[compact wolf]

Hello quick question. In CotZ, I'm wondering if there is a quick way (addon, which I haven't been able to find; or config file) where I can change the HP of enemies/damage of guns. I can literally one shot low armored enemies with a pistol, doesn't feel satisfying at all.

It has a patcher

To bring it to 1.0006

[rich knot]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rWU4LPB5fa08lE9Ygf5lVuTXFML_hDYK/view

[turbid mortar]

But the patcher won't work couse the detected version is USA in the regedit....

[rich knot]

This is what the spreadsheet link to

[upbeat coral]

It uses cool maps but dont expect sidequests
All side content is exploration
Which honestly is really neat, no sequence breaking, just free roam in brand new maps with new mutants and new artifacts

Its fresh and feels extremely good to explore

[turbid mortar]

Do u personally have RU stalker on ur pc?

[rich knot]

It was under Shadow of Chernobyl RU patches

[turbid mortar]

Can u check installsource in ur regedit? Sorry if it is too much

[upbeat coral]

Anyways
The Exception is truly an exceptional mod

[cinder oxide]

Oh brand new maps? I have to check this out

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[neat dune]

patientmeteor74 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[orchid berry]

The Exception mentioned

[upbeat coral]

Ell
"Brand new"
Its ISOTD3 maps
But since ISOTD3 never released...

[cinder oxide]

If chymo says it's good, it's damn good

[upbeat coral]

The dialogues are also peak

Gimme a sec
I will find the screenshot

[cinder oxide]

Is it 2 essays per dialogue

[rich knot]

I installed it for a mod the day before yesterday but it turns out I installed it the wrong way so I deleted it and played WT instead

So for 10 minutes

[turbid mortar]

Kk

[rich knot]

Yes

[upbeat coral]

No

[cinder oxide]

lmao

[upbeat coral]

Theres also one dialogue where its just "..." three times and then Thomas asks "are we gonna stay silent?"

Having finished the mod
I can safely say Thomas suffers from Sigma Chad Patrick Bateman Ryan Gosling I Drive Syndrome

Better known as autism

Its also the reason why he uses USD instead of roubles

[orchid berry]

Autism do B one hell of a drug

[sour latch]

gentlemen, I got COC working with mods on the first try, I'm so goated @upbeat coral

[upbeat coral]

Freeplay

I sleep

[orchid berry]

I mean, conceptually, Freeplay is goated

It's just that there's no good Freeplay mod

And, honestly, CoC is more so a platform to attach mods to. It's incredibly bare bones as is

[sour latch]

I meana I'm playing coc for the first time? the first freeplay mod?

[sour latch]

ye, I just threw on a ton of mods lmao including questlines :3

[upbeat coral]

First freeplay was Dooms Merge Mod afaik

[sour latch]

never heard of it

sounds neat tho

I might try it

[blazing lichen]

Legends return, teamlite and call of the zone are great freeplay mods

Gamma, efp, anomaly are not

[upbeat coral]

Okay freeplay mods

The best freeplay mods are okay at best

[blazing lichen]

you're allowed to have those opinions

but they are good

[upbeat coral]

Good for freeplay standards

[blazing lichen]

Dr.X didnt die for his work to be called ok at best..

theres a reason all his work is being ported to newer engines.. peak..

[upbeat coral]

Thats just cuz freeplay modders are physically incapable of making new content

[blazing lichen]

just wait for legends return 1.0

peakplay mods..

[blissful sphinx]

"theres hair on my ass, bingo."

[wild yacht]

the radiant quests in CotZ make it really enjoyable

the Loner storyline is more or less a modified SoC campaign, but it's different enough that I don't mind that (I also liked the SoC story)

[silent forge]

Hi. Best mod hardcore for call of pripyat?

[upbeat coral]

All are kinda poopy ngl

Maybe try Lex Addon
It has some cold or disease system or something like that iirc

Its not exactly hardcore but its pretty interesting mod

[blissful sphinx]

Gamma invictus

[silent forge]

A link for the download please?

[blazing lichen]

gamma fucking sucks lol

and its not even a mod for call of pripyat lol

[blissful sphinx]

Fym

Its peak

[blazing lichen]

if you have shit taste

[blissful sphinx]

Wayyy better than the storyslop

[blazing lichen]

bait !!!

[blissful sphinx]

[blazing lichen]

i fell for it ..

op2.2 is harder imo

[blissful sphinx]

I mean gamma is fine, not as good as my beloved soups but not bad

[blazing lichen]

ong

its not super bad

[blissful sphinx]

I enjoyed my time playing it

[blazing lichen]

google gamma discord only way to get the modpack

[blissful sphinx]

Op2 still beats it by a mile tho

[blazing lichen]

it has install instructions on the site

[blazing lichen]

fr its so peak..

speaking of peak what is that animal in your pfp its goated

[blissful sphinx]

Its a fennec fox

The best animal to ever exist

[blazing lichen]

Ok cool

Half a million members for a slop mod.......

[blazing lichen]

slop nation..

granted its only that high because you have to be a part of the server

500,000 folk dont speak always the same in chat

[ebon tusk]

Im guessing youre here bc you got muted from C-Con

[blissful sphinx]

Nah im chillin in ccon

[blazing lichen]

slop-con..

cool place tbh

[upbeat coral]

not as bad as its community certainly

[upbeat coral]

one thousand per stolen addon

[idle matrix]

Saw an OP OGSR devlog. Not sure how I feel about the changes they make to OP. Seems kinda style over substance, though it does admittedly look really good

[blazing lichen]

oh man 💀 i hate when they make unnecessary changes like that

[idle matrix]

I don't think it looks awful persay but it's definitely in a different direction. They are based off 2.09 since that was the last version before the custom engine for OP was introduced

And that one isn't open source so they can't really port 2.1 onward

[blazing lichen]

ah so thats why DSH uses 2.09 aswell

ill deff give it a playthrough but ill do 2.2 first

[idle matrix]

Yeah I'll probably check out either that or NS OGSR but I'm already enough into 2.2 that I don't plan to stop

[fallow sedge]

Need to ping mods and ban you for posting invite links

[orchid berry]

Try DM'ing it next time

[blazing lichen]

oh is that not allowed ?

i never shared one here before tbh

[orchid berry]

Posting Discord invites? No

[blazing lichen]

ah noted for the future

[silent forge]

Sorry but I'm confused. I just want a mod that makes the game harder and removes the minimap in Call of Pripyat

[blazing lichen]

could try misery?

[silent forge]

A mod for CoP?

[fallow sedge]

I was honestly being ironic I didn’t know lmfao

[orchid berry]

https://tenor.com/view/now-you-know-the-more-you-know-no-kidding-no-shit-obviously-gif-1342210079425559607

[fallow sedge]

I think there is no such mod

That does just that and nothing else

[orchid berry]

Play CoP on Master and disable your HUD

[fallow sedge]

Yeah can disable entire hud

[blazing lichen]

^

[silent forge]

Without mod?

Is possible?

[orchid berry]

Yeah, you can disable your HUD in standard CoP

[silent forge]

Ok thanks

[orchid berry]

I believe it's "Show Interface"

That should already add a new layer of a challenge to the game

Also, a heads-up

If you disable the HUD, you don't hear the anomaly detector either

If you want to see your health, the minimap or if there are anomalies around you, you have to open your inventory

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[orchid berry]

Radiation is easy to spot though, seen how your screen becomes brown

[ebon tusk]

Gamma gets asked so often we let grok pin his server in the pins

[blazing lichen]

Makes sense yeah didn't think to take a peak at the pins

[wispy orchid]

I have ZRP and OWR downloaded and my game keeps crashing at a certain spot on the map. I also went to the ZRP website trying to match the file error to that website but couldn't find a match. Here it is. Is this the place to find help?

Expression : fatal error
Function : CInifile::r_section
File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp
Line : 342
Description : <no expression>
Arguments : Can't open section 'ø'

[ruby citrus]

are zrp and owr even compatible?

[wispy orchid]

On the OWR moddb page, there's a ZRP compatibility patch which I've installed.

Last night I played a couple hours uninterrupted with both mods installed. Only today when I logged back on did I start getting the same crash.

I've looked around and I think my error is a corrupted save file. Though I am uncertain.

[viscid viper]

Misery

If like better gunplay then Gunslinger + Misery

[silent forge]

It is possible to install both?

[viscid viper]

I think so

I've seen gameplays of it

[viscid viper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/hvta1j/how_to_install_and_play_misery_221_gunslinger/

try this

[upbeat coral]

It will screw you over hard

Both mods suck all the power out of the engine without upgrading it

[silent forge]

Thanks

[upbeat coral]

reworked maps from The Journey
Sadly most changes cant be seen on them

there are also three original maps, but I only have one picture, since one map had terrible visibility on static renderer, other wouldnt load at all on static, and on dynamic the pictures wouldnt save

this one turned out the best which is quite worrying

cool mod
here are some screenshots
First map was a big meadow with few houses, a lake and a small forest

heres cordon

Garbage

[blazing lichen]

peak..

[upbeat coral]

Cursed village, dont have screenshots of the surface sadly

dont have anything for Agroprom

Hell

the last pic is a Monolithian btw

good mod

cant decide what to rate it
gameplay is very average, like 7/10
Ideas are really good, maps are cool, it has ton of unique assets so like 9/10
but then, the execution of these isnt that good, maps have lots of missing textures and some assets are bit broken

Im thinking 8/10
but that would be bit unfair to the other 8/10 mods I think ._.

[blazing lichen]

7.5?

[upbeat coral]

I dont like doing X.5s tbh
only did it with OGSE
maybe I should just ditch the X/10 system and go for percentage

[blazing lichen]

this mod looks cool is there english translations?

[upbeat coral]

yes

its actually western made mod

rare occurance

and even more rare occurance since its actually good

[blazing lichen]

damn thats surprising

[wind scaffold]

Go for Good, Bad, Normal for rating.

[upbeat coral]

nah
I need larger scale, not smaller

[wind scaffold]

For me all this 5/10, 1000% is similar to good, bad, normal, which makes them redundant. Rating dont have any concrete meaning. Like lets take just simple rating without description, 5/10, is it good ? is it bad ? Not good enough ? 7.76/10, what this supposed to mean ? Like, its good, but could be better but still good ?
Just dont like all this numbers for rating. Just description of pros and cons are better.

[upbeat coral]

for me 6 is okay, 7 is good, 8 is really good, 9 is near perfect and 10 is perfect

while 5 is underwhelming
4 is bad but with at least something good and rest...
well I havent played a 3/10 mod yet

usually if I played such mod I wouldnt even finish it, and as such, I wouldnt rate it

[wind scaffold]

Which makes number rating redundant. Why you need 3 2 1 if you dont use them at all in rating ? Just change it to "so bad couldnt play" or something like that.

I just usually describe pros and cons of game and say "good game/bad game/shit game."

[upbeat coral]

the problem isnt the 3 rating itself
its the fact I dont weant to rate mods I didnt finish

thats why you wont find Fotograf in the spreadsheet

[wind scaffold]

Well, i just wanted to tell my thoughts about this 10/10 rating, thats all.

[upbeat coral]

yeah the system is flawed
of course a full review would be better

Im just lazy to write them

[wind scaffold]

Too bad. Mod was extremely popular in old precious 10s.

[upbeat coral]

I know

its cool in theory, and got some nice systems

but ehhh

too many softlocks and boring grind

also running

I dont mind running if the environment is engaging

[wind scaffold]

So, mod is not hard but just borring ?

[upbeat coral]

yeah

Actor said he may do a repack with few fixes and some tweaks to adress these issues

so I will probably wait for that

since the Dead City part is supposedly really good

[wind scaffold]

Mod page have some unofficial mods and fixes. but i think it dont work on english.

[upbeat coral]

IX-Ray just released version 1.2

So peak

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen plain old CoP with just IX-Ray

notice the water
and hand shadows

[blazing lichen]

Holy that's nice

[shut veldt]

Reminds me of True Stalker

[upbeat coral]

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen here with AN4
standard preset

I especially like the last picture personally

[idle matrix]

the new water shader does a lot

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[blazing lichen]

Holy shit this is some of the best looking stalker content I've seen

I wish I could port my stalker mods to this engine and preset

The sky and clouds also look fantastic

[upbeat coral]

Well you can always just play mods that already use it

Like Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher visual is good

The particles especially

God the gauss rifle felt great

[upbeat coral]

its laggy as hell but good enough to show it off

[blazing lichen]

man thats sweet

[neat dune]

iiivoidiii_51716 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sick sand]

AN4 adds too much grass

[upbeat coral]

thats why the grass density slider exists...

not to mention thats only in that specific area
other parts of the map have lower density

and thats not AN4s fault
thats how GSC constructed the map

[sick sand]

Your screenshots have too much grass

[upbeat coral]

are you scared of grass or something?

my face when mfs expect grass in exclusion zone to be perfectly trimmed 2 centimeters above ground:

[summer zinc]

How do you guys like the gunslinger mod?

[ruby citrus]

makes me feel like im playing some knockoff tbh

[summer zinc]

But compared to the vanilla cop experience, is it better or worse?

[ruby citrus]

worse, but i haven't played 💅

why though?

[summer zinc]

Looks good

Wanna try it

Wanna play it while waiting s2 get more patched up

[ruby citrus]

id suggest some total conversions tbh

unless you specifically wanna replay CoP

[summer zinc]

Are u talking about anomaly or gamma?

[ruby citrus]

wdym

[summer zinc]

you mentioned total conversion

[ruby citrus]

there are more than 2 mods yknow

gamma is a modpack technically

[summer zinc]

ofc I do

i just wondering

how do you modify the game?

[ruby citrus]

wdyyymmmm

depends on the mod
most mods are standalone
but the ones that go ontop of the game are just drag&drop

[summer zinc]

well sounds like you got some ideas for better stalker experience

i dont mean any beef or hasty fella

[ruby citrus]

i know <3

[summer zinc]

alright thanks bud I will look it up

[upbeat coral]

Its cool on paper
But shit in reality

Some feautres are really neat
Like the upgrade system where each upgraded changes the gun visually

The gameplay tho...

Extremely restrictive

[summer zinc]

I played like a few hours of gunslinger, yeah the gunplay feels nice and the new PDA looks interesting, but the enemies feels more bulletsponge

[summer zinc]

Oh I thought there are a lot of anomaly and gamma players here lol

[upbeat coral]

Poopy mod

Only recommended by clowns who more often than not havent even played any canon games

It relies on high res textures and cheap gimmicks to keep the player in but is ultimately empty and reptetive experience

We had better mods in 2008

[outer copper]

Try Old World Addon for anomaly, it's whole point is to take anomaly and make it feel like the trilogy, I don't know if it is allowed to share links here so just try Googling "Old World Addon Clear Sky Style for 1.5.2" it might change your mind.

Anomaly is good as a base for some mods and addons, but there's not so much actually good mods for anomaly

Base anomaly sucks ngl

[upbeat coral]

I played Old World

Its cool

But far from enough to fix all the issues

It fixes two thing and thats the garbage item bloat and ugly grey visual

There are still like 4291059 issues to go

OWA 2.0 looks promising tho
Cant wait for that

And no
Anomaly is not a good platform
Platforma should be clean with layed out foundation so you can easily add stuff if you want to
They shouldnt force features
Anomaly forces bunch of garbage on you that you have to tediously and slowly remove if you dont like it

thats why all the interesting modding happens outside of Anomaly
While Anomaly only gets the same type of sloppy modpacks and gimmick addons or ports of features that we already had in other mods a decade ago

I love ranting

:3

[ruby citrus]

all good modding is either done by insane russian fascists or western furry transgirls

anomaly has neither

[upbeat coral]

Anomaly is made by normal people (yuck)

[ruby citrus]

literally true

[upbeat coral]

only 40 year old married Russian factory workers who work 12 hours a day for minimal wage make good mods

everyone knows that

[outer copper]

What's wrong with being normal?

[upbeat coral]

normal people make shit mods

[outer copper]

Wdym by that?

[upbeat coral]

that all good mods are made by seemingly crazy people

[outer copper]

Well, when you look at that from that point of view, mod creators should have a lot of time to make it so they probably not work which already proves your point, I see

[ruby citrus]

normal people are boring 💅

[ruby citrus]

normalcy is a made up construct that exists only to opress

[outer copper]

But I still kinda disagree with this point, because most of cool mods which creators of are Russian means that they support Russia, I remember I joined a discord server of some Russian mod and got permanent ban for reacting with Ukrainian flag.

[upbeat coral]

nah

thats just few exceptions

most modders dont push politics in their mods

[ruby citrus]

nah tbh that is mostly true

[upbeat coral]

only retards like the Anomaly Custom "developers" do

[upbeat coral]

Nazi trains are okay tho

and bunkers

thats peak storytelling

[outer copper]

Ok than

[wheat haven]

Sup lads

Just completed my LR run and looking for other mods to try (freeplay ones)

So I'm stuck between trying Misery or Anomaly/Gamma

[ruby citrus]

legend returns?
idk, i heard CotZ with IWP is good

i need to play gamma 💅

[wheat haven]

Aye, Legend Returns

[ruby citrus]

people dont talk about dead air at all nowadays but i do remember it being fairly popular

[wheat haven]

It was fun to play but at some point balance became borked

[ruby citrus]

has some fun survival modes

[wheat haven]

I wanna try Misery again because back in a day it felt like a trainwreck for me

Simply made it to Skadivsk to look at what Beard sells and how much it costs and uninstalled the thing

Yeah, I'm gonna revisit it for the sake of revenge

[upbeat coral]

Road to the North

also The Exception
its not exactly freeplay but it mostly lets you do your own thing

and definitely has more value for free roaming than your average freeplay mod

[wheat haven]

The description is intriguing enough, cheers

[upbeat coral]

its a good mod

porbably the best CoM fork

as well as one of the better freeplay/story hybrids

the best aspect after the story has to be the reworked map layout
it makes it more fresh now that maps are in different spots

[wheat haven]

[upbeat coral]

download both

[wheat haven]

Ok, let's pretend its worth it

[upbeat coral]

it absolutely is

the entire mod unpacked is around 16GB

same as Anomaly
except with lot more content and better gameplay

[wheat haven]

Better in what sense?

[upbeat coral]

the fact it has actual quests

[wheat haven]

Some people do like spicy hot hardcore hobomode

[upbeat coral]

oh dont you worry

Hobomode is big part of RTTN

[wheat haven]

🚬

Fair enough

[upbeat coral]

you wont get your first proper suit until like 10 hours in when you start working for Boss

its so great when a mod has you barely survive and then you can spend your entire first paycheck on a suit 12 hours in

[idle matrix]

RttN is pretty based

[upbeat coral]

yes

[wheat haven]

Based on what?

[upbeat coral]

based all around

its just a good mod

[wheat haven]

We'll see

embed fail

[somber tendon]

Hey friends! I know that stalker 2 is not in the trilogy,but i have an idea for mods! How about making a mod that removes english translation only during combat like the previous games. Because i think that one of the ukranian voiceovers for the bandits is the same guy that shouts “cheeky breeky” on the older games. Haha. It woud be awesome to have a mod like this!

Like having english translations only during dialogs.

[upbeat coral]

you would have to manually merge the UA voiceover files into EN ones

[somber tendon]

Yep! I guess thats the way! But it woud be awesome.

[upbeat coral]

Would be cool, yeah

[sick sand]

Back to cotz

[blazing lichen]

[ruby citrus]

philosophy and politics, commonly known as two completely unrelated things

[sick sand]

I mean, it's just impossible to create a story that doesn't represent your own worldview in this or that way and chances are - you don't live alone in the forest so your worldview is inevitably affected by politics of society around you. I don't understand why so many people are so scared of the word "politics". I mean... I kinda do, but come on, what you fear is not politics but dumb propaganda. Lots of people enjoy MGS games, lots of people enjoy fallout 1/2/NV, lots of people enjoy Disco Elysium, etc. So many good games with a focus on politics... And Stalker "universe" itself is literally based on the real world with real world politics, lol

Anyways, what I wanted to say is that a focus on politics is cool if it's presented in good faith, without trying to shove it down your throat. That's all

[sick sand]

Imagine throwing a grenade in there...

[ruby citrus]

i mean disco elysium very much shoves it doen your throat

[sick sand]

Not really. I mean... It depends on your definition of "shoving down your throat". It's obviously a lefty game made by lefties that overrepresent leftists but there's no propaganda in it, imo. Just characters with different opinions and worldviews and it's for you to decide how much do you engage with these worldviews (except for fascism which is heavily bashed in there, lol)
But yeah, I won't talk about it here

[sick sand]

Watching that vid makes me wish for some kind of dynamic stash system where some stashes are visited by their owners from time to time, some other stashes are actually found by other stalkers, etc

[dire crow]

Green stashes are waiting to be looted. Purple Stashes are partially looted but in my game, I put in a weapon repair kit and an armor repair kit. Yellow stashes are made by me putting a knapsack down, often in places where there was no stash to use. Yellow stashes included repair kits, medical supplies, food and ammo.

[ruby citrus]

its not just fascism that is bashed 💅

[ruby citrus]

.

[sick sand]

Everything is bashed in that game but it doesn't even let you engage with fascism

[ruby citrus]

wdym? there's fascist vision quest

[sick sand]

Yeah and it either kills you or Kim says "Are you fuсking insane" and you just give up

[ruby citrus]

do you? iirc kim saying that is just the last chance to opt out, but there's an option to commit

[sick sand]

It looked to me like it was impossible to commit no matter how much you tried... But maybe they expanded on it? Anyways

Ah, my favorite stalker mod - Disco Elysium

[ruby citrus]

indeed

btw

downloading gamma right now 💅 💅

doesn't want to give me the correct number of addons for some reason

yaaayy it works

well

its over for me

[upbeat coral]

we aint besties no more

[ruby citrus]

NOOOOOOO

CRYING AND SOBBING RN

i just wanna see what its like.....

[blazing lichen]

Nothing wrong with that imo

[upbeat coral]

back to OLR

or no friend

[ruby citrus]

i was planning to

gonna play gamma n olr simultaneously

to achieve a secret state of being

[upbeat coral]

Gamma is lame
you cant even catch diseases
or get stranded in Ratacombs for 12 hours with no headlamp and PDA

[ruby citrus]

theres radio and 3d scopes tho

[ruby citrus]

i think my last save is like 5 seconds before im ambushed by a bloodsucker in x18

peak

[upbeat coral]

worst optimized 3D scopes in all of stalker modding

and the radio has like 3 songs
with maybe one of them being from the original soundtrack

[blazing lichen]

I'd let her experience gamma tbh

[upbeat coral]

NEVER!

I LOVE GATEKEEPING

[upbeat coral]

I hate when someone tries to gatekeep my gatekeeping tho

[sick sand]

Finally, starting the next jekan mod (That I wanted to start a month ago)

[ruby citrus]

did u finish goldsphere?

i thought u abandoned it

[sick sand]

Dropped it near the end

[blazing lichen]

Dreamcatcher is soooo peak

FUCCKCKKK MEEE

AJHAHAHAHAHAHA

I TRIED TO SET

SUN SHADOWS TO ULTRA IN GAMMA

AND IT CRASHED IMMEDIATELY

IN THE MAIN MENU

god this is amazing

@upbeat coral i think its fate trying to prevent me from playing it

but i'll persist...

[quaint ingot]

@sick sand Even you censored the NSFW video on the pic, this is still NSFW thing, sorry.

[sick sand]

What if I do it like this

[quaint ingot]

hmm

lemme call my head mod @orchid berry

[orchid berry]

Your head mod?

[quaint ingot]

[orchid berry]

Based

[quaint ingot]

do you know the context

[orchid berry]

Inb4 stripper on screen

[quaint ingot]

[sick sand]

Yeah, everybody knows that one

[orchid berry]

Yeah

[quaint ingot]

wait a minute that's the hidden nsfw video that everyone talks about?

wtf

[orchid berry]

Kek

[quaint ingot]

I'mma dumass

[sick sand]

I think it was added in one of the mods and then everybody just used the same gif in their own mods because... Because they can, I guess

Haven't heard about it being a "hidden nsfw video"

In original game it's a gif of somebody walking on the rails on cordon

[quaint ingot]

I heard it from Stalker Series Iceberg

[ruby citrus]

WHAT THE FUСK ARE THOSE GRAPHICS

so washed out it's insane

also the scopes aren't PiP :(

why even play this

[narrow hound]

My pc trying to run S2 without GFN like

[upbeat coral]

3DSS

[sick sand]

Just googled it and yeah, looks like it was present in files of CS and CoP... Very interesting...

[ruby citrus]

it's just literally the same fuсking!!! 2d scope

[upbeat coral]

I think only Goonslinger has actual PiP

[upbeat coral]

dang

Yeah, it does

that vid is buildo

[ruby citrus]

i expected at least some kind of cool scopes but noooo

guh.

sad now

[upbeat coral]

another massive win for the Kot Emperor

[sick sand]

Maybe you have to activate them in addons or something?

[upbeat coral]

Ruinous Puppers keep on losing

[sick sand]

GAMMA always likes to present itself as some kind of lego "build your own experience" puzzle aka we are too lazy to design a good one ourselves

[upbeat coral]

knowing Gamma changing active/inactive state of addons will likely brick the game

its not lego
more like a Jenga tower

[sick sand]

I mean... Yeah

Installing cotz again felt good. Just drop the folder and start playing

[ruby citrus]

i hate when modpacks do this shit, either present a sound experience or just do a mod compilation on a site or smth

[ruby citrus]

started with freedom on their warehouse base

prolly not the best decision tbh

not sure how to get GUNS and MONEY

apparently you can't buy ammo from traders?

[ruby citrus]

@upbeat coral is this trve

[upbeat coral]

yeah

[ruby citrus]

???

[upbeat coral]

for no reason at all

[narrow hound]

And guns too I think

[ruby citrus]

how am i supposed to obtain it then

are there like fences

illegal traders

[narrow hound]

The ground

[upbeat coral]

craft it from metal scrap and rusty bullet

[narrow hound]

Yes

[upbeat coral]

cuz
MUH realism

[narrow hound]

[ruby citrus]

are they fuсking insane

[upbeat coral]

game so realistic that the person making it has never ever held a gun or seen how guns and ammo are made

[ruby citrus]

game so realistic that the person forgot how real life trade works

[upbeat coral]

its like Dead Air but poopy and with no logic behind it

in Dead Air it has depth and consequences

[ruby citrus]

i can't even play as a girl stalker what is this all for smh

freeplay my ass

[narrow hound]

If you still want to play gamma you can change it where you can buy things normally. But mod pack still is slop.

[ruby citrus]

no i think i'll go along with it for now

[upbeat coral]

like
Sid wont sell guns because if someone attacked army using his guns they would hang him
and
surprise surprise
if you attack the army they will commit a punitive raid against the Rookie Village

[ruby citrus]

idk maybe it's balanced

and fun.

who knows.

[narrow hound]

Not really, it made me pull my hairs out

[upbeat coral]

just play Dead Air at that point

[ruby citrus]

i played through (half of) olr 3 and everyone called that needlessly hardcore

so

[narrow hound]

I just thought it was annoying collecting all the scraps just to get my gun running again.

[ruby citrus]

what difficulty should i play tho

theres like two

[narrow hound]

Too much slop in a mod pack

[ruby citrus]

normal and progression?

[narrow hound]

Uh

I didn't really play for the game story so idk

[ruby citrus]

i chose hard for the normal difficulty and mid for progression

because as much as i enjoy suffering i don't trust grok to balance things

[narrow hound]

You don't want grok level of suffering

[ruby citrus]

im slightly interested in anomaly's storyline

should prolly play it in russian though

leshiy's 2 lines of dialogue in EN made me die

[upbeat coral]

where OLR is needlessly hardcore
gamma is just poorly made and unfair

[ruby citrus]

olr 3 is also poorly made tbh

and unfair

[upbeat coral]

bildo is meant to be poorly made tho

[ruby citrus]

still unless grok hates fun i think i'll be able to cheat my way out of uh

manually crafting bullets

though

considering stealth killing doesn't work

might be harder
