Wooooo

[empty olive]

Guys, I don't know if this is the right channel to write this, but I have a problem with my stalker shadow of chonobyl, this message is appearing when I try to start it, my pc is good and I've already played several other games with it, even games with better graphics, please, if you can help me

[upbeat coral]

original or "Enanced" edition?

[empty olive]

Enanced

[upbeat coral]

oh..
yeah

the game has tendency to do that

just know the issue is NOT on your end

I would suggest playing the original one, because issues like this will take laughably long to fix

[rigid spear]

It works!

[empty olive]

I understand, I really want to play this version, I played the original and many mods for a long time, this is the only one I want to test at the moment

[rigid spear]

While I'm doing scopes, do you guys think I should do semi-translucent versions like this:

[empty olive]

so there really is no way to fix this. right?

[upbeat coral]

well theres nothing I or anyone here for that matter can do sadly
GSC and mataboo released absolutely broken half assed port of the console versions and we dont really have any means to fix this ourselves

[empty olive]

thats ok, anyway, i appreciate your help

[upbeat coral]

no problem

[rigid spear]

Would anyone know of where to get a rig for SoC or CoP weapon animations? I wanted to revamp the classic weapons rather than add new weapons, but I'm not sure where/how to get a rig

[upbeat coral]

ask @sleek python

[sleek python]

its me

[upbeat coral]

Yeah so @rigid spear needs help
You got time?

[sleek python]

write to me in DM @rigid spear

[rigid spear]

<3 Thanks

[rigid spear]

So I used that, but it didn't export any config files? I need to find the weapons' ltx files

[upbeat coral]

did you select correct file?

[fallow sedge]

you cant change ltx in workshop anyway

dont bother

[rigid spear]

Yeah apparently I forgot to unpack the configs.db file and only unpacked the resources files le mow

[rigid spear]

I needed to check the ltx to see the weapon animation names

[little rock]

A question: in the mod Lost Alpha Enhanced Edition, a teleporter gives you several options—two of them are:

To The Dead City
To Dead City

What exactly is the difference between those two locations?

[sick sand]

That looks weird tbh. Like... Does it imply that you are looking with both eyes open or something?

[rigid spear]

That was the idea, yeah. Cuz I saw this other mod which does these rings with open sides

And I was like Hmmmmmm

[sick sand]

I think I like these more. They look like pip scopes without actually being pip

[rigid spear]

Alrighty then! I guess I'll nix the transparent idea

[azure tinsel]

WIP makarov replacer. mixture of baked and painted lighting (100% static lighting as shown here) but i do also have normal/specular maps as well which will help further with shading ingame

[rigid spear]

Does anyone know how to manually set the fov in a numeral value instead of the slider that tells me nothing

I'm trying to match FOV between ingame and Blender

[rigid spear]

You legit need to teach me your secrets cuz that is

[rigid spear]

It's either rs_fov or rs_c_fov
They both seem to work

[azure tinsel]

yea i should definitely make some videos on my process some time

here's a quick showcase of what i'm doing with the paintover pass, the baked light base is already nice but it feels a lot crisper and more STALKER-y with those nice sharp worn edges and lighting tweaks

[rigid spear]

YASSSSSSS

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3487161387

Also I fixed the font

[young fable]

looks nice

also any chance to make a PP-19 Bizon?

[azure tinsel]

maybe, id need someone else to animate it though or find a pre existing set of animations

[young fable]

Hm.. i had good animation for it but.. its not mirrored

[upbeat coral]

@serene bridge

[blazing lichen]

not being able to join the bandits in clearsky?? 💀

[upbeat coral]

ABR...

[blazing lichen]

screw ABR

[serene bridge]

im sorry but joinign bandits was part of the vanilla game ?

[blazing lichen]

yes bro lol

you could join all factions except monolith

[upbeat coral]

Well you could join 4 factions

[serene bridge]

glad i ditched abr project then

[upbeat coral]

And wage war against their main rival

[blazing lichen]

removing being able to join the bandits for faction war is as retarded as mataboo and gsc censoring enhanced editions

[serene bridge]

this is similar to fnv

[upbeat coral]

Duty would fight Freedom
And Stalkers would fight Bandits

[cinder oxide]

ABR is messed

It's advertised in a lot of places as a simple graphical upgrade

But it changes so many things in so many weird ways

[blazing lichen]

just like ZRP for soc lol

[cinder oxide]

ZRP is not nearly as egregious in my opinion

[blazing lichen]

im all for ARB existing but its false advertising and deceptive

[cinder oxide]

ABR straight up removes content

Makes crazy balance changes

[blazing lichen]

true yeah i forgot about that

[shut veldt]

Like what?

[cinder oxide]

Oh I meant the other way around

ABR removes content

[shut veldt]

Oh

[blissful raven]

just so you people know, the problem i have been dealing with is that, i changed the weapons and now they are firing at the sky

how do i fix it?

seriously wtf?

[blissful raven]

hello?

[upbeat coral]

Its okay
They are playing the crow shooting competition from Clear Sky

Anyways
Try reverting all the changes and then re-add them one by one to see what caused it

Im curious myself

[blissful raven]

Uhhh okay

I will try later today probably

[rigid spear]

Reanimations in progress

[rough jetty]

Any idea for improve flashlight?

[rigid spear]

@upbeat coral you're pretty active here.
Do you know where I can find the official Steam Workshop rules?
Because there's stuff like new weapons not being allowed but then some mods don't get taken down?
I don't understand any of it.

@neat dune do you know?

Of course not

[rigid spear]

@mint vigil I'm going to silent ping you as well, cuz you seem to get around

[wild rock]

feels good to be back on my PC after a week

[mint vigil]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2868091107

Not sure if this is what you asked for

[rigid spear]

Could I get an official source instead of ChatGPT? (if that's what this is) Particularly about the Asset Replacers Only rule?

[fallow sedge]

no mods have been taken down so far, just test if it works and then publish it

new weapons aren't "not allowed", they're just not going to work

[fallow sedge]

asset replacers only applies to Xbox / PS modding, not Steam worskhop.

there's no official source as guidelines havent been updated ye.t

[rigid spear]

Oh ok. I see. An official source would still be nice but I guess if there are no official guidelines then there are no official guidelines

Also I'm glad to see in #📜┃gsc-answers that an updated SDK is in the works

[neat dune]

majorowsky has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[narrow tiger]

decided to finally give a try to True Stalker as i had the install files on my pc for some time already. what the actual f is this stalker it looks so damn good considering its based on the originals and openxray. hellishly smooth running as well!

[austere cedar]

Peak mod

[zinc fractal]

So modding in S2 and the enhanced might be dead on console upon arrival unless GSC shift their Perspective on the modding. Similar to the first release of the trilogy. :/

[mint vigil]

I linked the source I found with the picture

Best to ask GSC #📜┃ask-gsc directly

[clear geyser]

Hello! I'm the creator of the SRAP mods and I'm looking to bring those mods over to the enhanced edition. Currently trying to get the Shoc mod ported first and I am running into an issue.

The problem I have run into is the hud model position modifier is no longer working. However the zoom position modifier works just fine.
I am assuming that the weapon position is now being handled elsewhere. If anyone has any ideas on where I would be able to find the model position modifier, that would be a huge help!

[viral trout]

Is there a mod for SoC enhanced that opens up the pistol slot more? Id like to be able to stick an mp5 or sawed off in it

[silk kettle]

I think there’s one where you can have a second secondary

[snow tulip]

tried to make custom model for bolt xd

[quaint ingot]

I think it has polygon limit

[snow tulip]

original one

[austere cedar]

Same, I saw it today after DV lab

Also saw them heading to Yantar before I disabled Mitacle Machine

[little rock]

In lost alpha (enhanced edition), what is the “trinket” artifact? it doesn't even appear in your wiki (an image of the artifact would help to know exactly what it is).

[azure tinsel]

ok got it rigged, some minor issues but anyways (hammer mainly, and sights could align better)

[austere cedar]

Great, looks so good

[azure tinsel]

hooked up the parallax map as well, it's pretty subtle but does help with things like the grip pattern

[austere cedar]

Man somehow you improved it but kept the original style and art

You will release this once it's done yeah?

[azure tinsel]

yeah i'll probably stick it on the workshop

[austere cedar]

Could you do an release on Moddb? Also this works with OG?

[azure tinsel]

yeah I could stick it somewhere else too, maybe moddb/nexus/gamebanana or just my website

and I haven't tested but it should, though I'll need to change the texture compression for the DDS for the original to an older format

[vale nova]

(blessed to see your works in quake and in stalker )

[austere cedar]

Yeah, I personally use GoG version so that'd be cool

[azure tinsel]

I'll probably drop a pre release version here for testing once it's basically done anyway

[austere cedar]

Great

[clear geyser]

Nice to see you are still around!
Been a long time.

[silk vector]

is this a reskin or something for the gun you've made?

[azure tinsel]

just my replacer vs the SoC original

[silk vector]

i feel like the level of detail reminds me of like, Metro Exodus's guns because those are pretty detailed, last i looked at least lol.

[young fable]

Holy shit

Looks nice

Can i use it if you release the model?

[azure tinsel]

sure! basically anything i make is on a "use with credit" basis

[cunning nacelle]

Hello everybody i was thinking about buying the trilogy and i wanted to ask if you can play stalker gamma so that mod
on xbox?

[austere cedar]

[rigid spear]

No

Also GAMMA doesn't require the trilogy

[cunning nacelle]

🥲

[cunning nacelle]

I know im new to stalker and wanted to play all the old games anyway

[rigid spear]

Just start with the OGs

[little plover]

GAMMA is its own free download and is not a mod of any of the trilogies. It’s a mod for Anomaly, which is its own free download too. You cannot play GAMMA or Anomaly on consoles.

[rigid spear]

||Sheogorath||

[cunning nacelle]

Oh that sucks guess i gotta get a pc next but thx for the info

[fallow sedge]

the only thing i dont like is ignoring the intentional changes made on the model by the devs such as gray handle

[azure tinsel]

yeah I was originally doing it for call of pripyat, maybe I'll make a version that's more like the shadow of Chernobyl original when it's otherwise done

[crystal canyon]

Ooo, this looks good..
Imagine if we had new hands to go along with it.

[rigid spear]

Hey guys!

Have you ever wanted to get into 3D modeling or animation, but felt hesitant or unsure where to start? If you're passionate and ready to give it a try, this is your chance!

This summer, a friend and I are offering free Blender lessons via Discord group calls in our server, covering everything from simple modeling to basic animations, and maybe even more!

Tell your friends! Contact me for more details.

[tulip kettle]

hi guys! has anyone played priboi story?

[fallow sedge]

Unpack the resources

Then configs/text

You can’t add a new language without overriding existing one tho

[sage rock]

Hey there, I am unsure if this is the perfect channel for it but here goes since it's about Stalker CoP.
I recently reinstalled the game for my 7th run (yeah, I love CoP), and this time I wanted to mod it.
I installed:
Arsenal Overhaul 3.1
Absolute Nature 4.04
AtmosFear 3
(Order of installation: AO3.1 -> AtmosFear 3 -> AN4.04)

I am on Steam, and I cleared everything I had till then to a backup folder so I'm starting fresh, I also deactivated steam cloud for that very run

I managed to start a new game from the menu no problem, but when trying to shoot with my pistol, it gave me this error

 
[error]Expression    : SG
[error]Function      : CRender::model_CreateParticles
[error]File          : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\Layers\xrRenderPC_R2\r2.cpp
[error]Line          : 410
[error]Description   : Particle effect or group doesn't exist
[error]Arguments     : weapons\9x18```

I *heavily suspect* that AO3.1 is responsible, but I have no idea what this particle thingy is, I'm kinda new to modding in Stalker so yeah.
If any of you has an idea, help would be highly appreciated

[mint vigil]

Yeah, need to make sure that you applied compatibility patches with each mod installed. Apparently, you messed up some files related to the weapons addon, so best to redo everything while considering compatibility of each mod whether it exists or non existing

The argument suggests missing particles

So, ig you should try AO on its own first and see if everything is fine or something is corrupted. Then install over other mods after making sure everything sits together or compatibility patches are included withing the mods archive (usually main gamedata, and compatibility for each mod supported. It goes main files, then compatibility patch)

[sage rock]

I did it alone (AO3.1) and same result, it's when I shoot the pistols but other guns work.
I did install the full AO3.1 from ModDB, but I didn't see the compat patches

where are those said compat patches ?

[ebon tusk]

the one you make yourself
search the files for what overrides the specific argument and remove mentions of it

what is put last is what stick

[little plover]

Use Gunslinger instead.

[ebon tusk]

if you wanna have a bad time that is certainly an option yhea

[little plover]

[ebon tusk]

playing gunslinger? yhea it's a serious one ngl

[little plover]

What do you not like about Gunslinger? It’s great if you just want updated HUD visuals, extended and better animations, much nicer looking firearms and better customisation system with some difficulty increase all while retaining full vanilla story.. I do still have Burer PTSD though.

[ebon tusk]

it is a broken mod that is incomplete and will remain like so, already outdated by todays standards that harms gameplay and balancing being propped up by word of mouth and recognizability alone

[little plover]

So it’s not that you find the mod itself is a bad one, it just outdated and unfinished that you don’t like about it? I thought it felt finished when I played through SoC and CoP with it, didn’t really notice bugs or any major game breaking issues, I wasn’t going out my way to look for them right enough but I managed to complete both games or hardest difficulty with gunslinger, was tedious at some points but still good. Imo.

[ebon tusk]

no I do find it bad

also the SOC one is different from the COP one

COP is the original one SOC one is a modern version adapted and done by a diff guy from the COP one

if you talk GA you are talking about COP
SOC GA is diff

[little plover]

Yeah I used both versions for each one, I just wanted a modern HUD and some updated visuals for weaponry but keeping the OG story so it was the best choice I found for what I wanted.

I’m taking about years ago though lol.

[sage rock]

What are the differences between AO3.1 and Gunslinger ? I guess the guns logically, but which one has more ?

[sage rock]

Roger, thanks ^^

[little plover]

No idea buddy, look at the 2 and compare them.

[sage rock]

Sounds fair

[gleaming pulsar]

can any mod be on triology version

trilogy*

or is it incompatible

[ruby citrus]

the problem with gunslinger is that the weapons fuсking suck aesthetically

[gleaming pulsar]

gunslinger is not that but i will rather stick with BaS

[ebon tusk]

these arent even related by game, what are you talking about

[blazing lichen]

Lol

Oh okey i got it

Btw can I make log about crash some how?

Sure you can. I don't think this is the best place to solve problems with the mod, in the description of the mod there is a link to the disrd mod server, we can chat there

[rough jetty]

Where can I find the link?

go to the mod page and read the description

[ruby citrus]

better ask at c-con, there's a dedicated channel for op 2.2

[idle matrix]

There is fast travel via teleports, though they're pretty few and far between early on

If you don't have one then you will have to reload from before you got stuck or you are SOL

Or figure out how to get unstuck I guess

[azure tinsel]

hi @austere girder ! i had one low-priority request for a future update i'd love to see in the remasters. basically the shader code that handles animated meshes in the trilogy stores vertex positions as integers instead of floating points so you get this distinct issue where the vertices basically snap around on a coarse grid resulting in some pretty ugly results at times. this is actually pretty easy to fix (just change the data type from short to float & change a few lines that handle those structures) and many community engine updates and mods have addressed this but i would love to see it fixed for the vanilla game, especially for consoles where there's nothing the community can do about it.

this does affect every default mesh in the games already but it is especially pertinent to modders as higher poly models suffer from the precision loss much more visibly. thanks & look forward to the modding tools & documentation 🙂

https://github.com/OpenXRay/xray-16/commit/2a91825eeb30b3cf8af6b91201a25bd4a90cd01e#diff-2674941b857db8f06e27e36c8eccaaa854afbab2ec725689ba8dab9ce38311e8 here's the change on openxray's github repo in case that's helpful though i think any programmer can probably get what the issue is pretty easily

[austere girder]

Hey, will send over your suggestion to the team

[azure tinsel]

thanks!! it would be a huge help to community artists 🙂

[azure tinsel]

loaded this thing up in OGSR engine for Shadow of Chernobyl so i can check it with full precision on the model. still needs some love on the textures but it's getting there

[blazing lichen]

Awesome progress so far

[azure tinsel]

yeah i'm looking forward to making more guns in the same style, definitely figured out some workflow things that'll make the next one a lot easier

might rework my old aks74u model that's in most big gun packs with the same approach and make it higher detail while i'm at it

[outer drum]

Hey, has anyone installed the Autumn Aurora mod for Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl? I would like to install the mod but I can't find the installation instructions.

[outer drum]

• autumn addon

[silent arch]

This may seem like a strange question but what would be a good estimation of the split between the amount of mods for separate games in the trilogy, I am talking mods, mod packs and standalones like anomaly, if i had to make a guess maybe SoC: 40%, CS: 10%, CoP 50%?

[ruby citrus]

it's a somewhat equal distribution between SoC and CoP

CS on the other hand has no mods

like what, reborn? 1 or 2 story mods

[blazing lichen]

Plus the faction wars mod and abr? Feels like that's it

Play a.r.e.a@ruby citrus

On PC it will just show up as a separate game in your library

oh old one specifically

That I'm not sure

[idle matrix]

Hmm, according to my OP-2 spreadsheet, the last time I played I was resupplying after some real rough swamp quests, then gonna do the old documents final step

[azure tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SratBWvgoc4 took a quick test video of the makarov in clear sky yesterday if anyone wants to see it in action

also today i learned that apparently in shadow of chernobyl EE you can now use .thm files for texture definitions (i used one from clear sky as a basis) so you don't need to use textures.ltx! this is great news for many reasons but especially because editing textures.ltx is an absolute mod conflict lightning rod

i was also concerned i wouldn't be able to easily add new textures without editing textures.ltx but now that's a non-concern so i'm free to make my weapons much more modular 🙏 🙏 🙏

[fallow sedge]

Does .thm override textures.ltx settings?

[azure tinsel]

I'll have to test but I believe it does

I'm glad we can at least use them now, I was also getting annoyed with the default shading model on the weapon textures so I can change it for a glossier one that doesn't blow the specular out on my slide with how bright the diffuse is

[azure tinsel]

yup, just tested, pointed to a different weapon's _bump in the thm and it does override whatever is defined in the ltx. sweet!

[fallow sedge]

Good to know, though I wish Gsc did more to make the modding modular.

Eg texture atlases are a big issue now. Can’t have several mods updating icons.

[azure tinsel]

yeah here's hoping they'll improve it with community feedback over time

my #1 wish is still the hq geometry fix so my models don't get mangled to hell and back on the fine details

[fallow sedge]

I hoped so with console ports but they absolutely failed to do so

[glacial flume]

I have 300gb of free space

And deleted two games and half my save data and still nothing

[blazing lichen]

That's so weird

Hopefully that situation gets resolved sounds like you have more then enough

[rancid swallow]

Anyone here play the IWP or Teamlite mod and can say which is better ?

Quality model! Do you have plans to remake the hands as well?

[azure tinsel]

maybe at some point but i'm not much of a character artist so it definitely wouldn't be to the same standard

[fallow sedge]

Makes sense. I would unironically suggest you to apply to GSC - they hire outsourcers, so maybe your work might make it officially. It’s so much better in quality than what GSC done for EE.

I would suggest you to look into prototype builds and tga textures for higher quality source material

[thorny hill]

[azure tinsel]

while a tempting prospect i think i'm still too burned out on studio work to apply yet

kinda why i'm focusing on modding 100% rn instead of taking on any freelance work

ik that games nowadays require a lot of GB

but they're VIDEOGAMES

GAMMA, on the other hand, is just a MOD

[viscid viper]

-pack. Bunch of mods with custom scripts to make them work together

so yeah, size is a bit of a problem with GAMMA

[worthy flax]

gamma devs should fix the size

ik that, for being a compilation of dozens of mods, it could require a lot of GB

BUT 120 ?

come on man, this ain't OBLIVION Remastered

op2 is half the size and infinitely more content

[idle matrix]

Many things are possible when you are not concerned with high fidelity visuals

[blazing lichen]

And you dont have 50 million different junk items

Anomaly and all its mod packs (except OWA and its offshoots) have such bad item bloat

CoD 2 PPSH-41

[worthy flax]

Both renders were made on Blender, using the labx8 map from CoP. Fact is: one of them was extracted from CoC (Call of Chernobyl, a 32x standalone mod that compiles all locations from the classic trilogy in one game), while the other one was imported from the Enhanced Edition (Alt texts on their way. Read them)

I'll tell you what: extracting from the EE is much EASIER now, easier than you think. All you have to do is extract the .db files from the "levels" and "resources" folders from each game using the db unpacker (yup, it also works with these versions). On the parameters, set them on "CS/CoP" and 64x, and voilá! You can now use all maps, models and textures from the EE versions on Blender (and modding), with enhanced everything

PS: ignore the "gamedata" folders, they only have the cutscenes (which you can already use without any decompression method, and up to 4K!)

if i played (and completed) EE versions before even OG versions, am i still a true stalker fan ?

[young fable]

looks like it's a hard question, then

i'm not going to tag the CMs this time, however i want to know if i'm allowed to share the Stalker EE assets on ModDB (ps: it does not contain executable files, nor they are any pirated/cracked versions of the Enhanced Editions. It's only limited to maps, models, textures, etc.)

just a little help for modders

for sure, it's really nice coming from Anomaly and feeling like I can play and not inventory micromanage so much, both have their strengths though. Anomaly/Gamma can look real pretty of course.

[blazing lichen]

For IWP, is Absolute Nature Redux compatible with Anomaly reshade? Thanks for all the help in this channel btw. This a good community.

[worthy flax]

[RE-UPLOADED] i hate ts so bad (like, i tried EVERYTHING, and either looks so blurry or so pixelated. Even went to viewport, disabled mapping, reescaled the texture 4x, AND YET NOTHING)

[dusky inlet]

okay so we can mod better now but the garbage is broken great

[proven lantern]

Just upload it on moddb man don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness

[fallow sedge]

You are, but it’s useless work

Anyone who owns OG already has EE

And there is truly nothing of value in EE that could be adapted

[fallow sedge]

is the lenin head here if you extract soc cnpp lol

since its removed through engine

[fallow sedge]

yeah you need to adapt terrain shader, basically the game has this blurry terrain overlayed with a tiling texture so terrain looks ok in the end and has color variety

[rancid swallow]

For IWP does anyone have a clue on how to fix Shader Cache issue? When trying to extract Anomaly to IWP mod to the JSGE folder, I get the user permission error 0x80004005 and it says "Jupiter." This happened I guess after the game still remembers Shader Cache from a previous install. I have used "Cleanmgr" command and deleted all the shader cache I can. fresh installs of IWP don't work as the PC doesn't wanna let Anomaly shader pack extract to the mod folder. Please help lol!

[frozen citrus]

are there any good gun mods for CoP enhanced edition yet?

Hope i can get some help with that i'm running SOC with auttum mod with the add on, i just came back from X16 lab and i'm at rostok as soon is start to go into rostok i crash getting this

[celest tulip]

I think, its problem with configs

[fallow sedge]

Your save is corrupted there is no way to restore it to functional state

[fringe python]

shouldnt it crash as soon as i load the save though ?, it crashes a bit after the burner tunnel comming from yantar

[fringe python]

you mean graphical ?, i tried setting everything to minimal but no luck Expression : fatal error
Function : CInifile::r_section
File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp

[fallow sedge]

No, a corrupted save means that there is already corrupt data but it may crash later.

Eg in CS there is a common corruption point in Garbage but most people only crash when they reach Agroprom

So it takes a while to kick in

Idk how far back you even need to go, but useless garbage in “section name” crashes is 100% save corruption

[fringe python]

i see, still learning a bit of the issues with the game , i got a bunch of saves before loading on rostok the first time gonna try from there, tried to load one just after X16 but still crashed so probably happened way earlier.

[fringe python]

well almost making my way back to the lab part, hope its solved, but question is there any tells or things to do to avoid those save corruptions ?

think if get another crash back on rostok i'm probably heading all the way back to garbage

[fallow sedge]

Unfortunately not, it's up to devs to fix em, you can't do much as a player.

You don't know when it happens, and if it does, you can't do anything about it.

The worst type of issue there is.

[fringe python]

now thats anoying, glad i got some saves to test

Question, if there is a chance that autum can be the culprit as well is there any other good mods to use on SOC ?

hey yall, i'm sure this has been asked a million times but, i just picked up the first 3 games and i'm starting with SoC. I'm wanting some recommendations for mods that provide bugfixes, QoL, and the like. Also, should i use regular or ee?

not looking for anything that changes the vanilla experience too much

just maybe makes it a bit more modern and smoothes out some rough edges.

also, i'm not a great player (i'm an old guy), so nothing that makes it any harder than it seems to be from the comments i have read lol

[young fable]

ZRP or OGSR Engine

[ebon tusk]

pistol sights are not a bug and never were

this is intended

[ebon tusk]

vanilla

[lean elbow]

what a garbage decision to not give pistols iron sights.

[ebon tusk]

prob was to make the pistol stand out as a clearer picture and faster aim speed or smth
shame nobody uses it bc pistols are useless

[fallow sedge]

EE is not compatible with any OG mods

i climb up the ladder part way and just stop. stuck already 5 mins into game.

[fallow sedge]

That shouldn’t happen lol

Which ladder

[lucid lily]

it was in the basement of the house with the wooden bars across the door you can break. i was able to get out by reloading the game.

[fallen furnace]

Later tonight gonna install OGSR, seen people hype it up so much on the server figured ‘why not’

Any tips for a first start?

[dull tendon]

which version?

there's like, ogsr GA, ogsr legacy, ogsr engine, etc

legacy have more content than GA

but GA have graphicx and guns

[blazing lichen]

OGSE is pretty based aswell

[dull tendon]

true

[fallen furnace]

Ended up grabbing GA

[fallen furnace]

I already see why people enjoy this mod

Truthfully with how many versions of OGSR there are, I grabbed GA to start to get the ‘Hated’ (from what I’ve seen here anyways) version done, make my way through the others over time

[blazing lichen]

I might try ogsr one day but im loving ogse atm might try legacy ogsr next year

[idle matrix]

One of the things is legacy has more content than the version with GA to my recollection

[fluid pier]

ok

[sharp widget]

I posted a suggestion in Stalker reddit like a year ago or a bit more, while you guys are at some rework you could add fast travel, a bit better flashlight, item repair etc.. There are mods out there and you could even use those with permission.

[zealous palm]

why OGSE when its literally the outdated version? OGSR did some changes that i didnt liked that changed some things from the original but are minor things like posters, music, etc. But the other things are positive like @fluid pier says

[ebon tusk]

ehh, you can make a case for OGSE having certain visual stuff, and therefore liking it more than OGSR

like for example, OGSR did away with the hue that SOC has

[tender folio]

Original main idea of OGSE 0693 gameplay wise was an Hobo with a Shotgun with nato weapons being deleted to fit this vision. With 2.10 revised patch the team has completely fallen apart. OGSR reversed a lot of gameplay changes since.

At the time, when ogse 0692 was still relevant, there were many disputes on the forum about where NATO weapons could have come from in the Zone, because according to teamlead, everyone in the Zone should be running around with soviet shotguns, AKs and ww2 weapons only, this was his main concept.

ps long story short: ogse 0693 (without the 2.10 update being made by one man after team breakup) and the actual ogsr mod are different mods, both gameplay-wise and conceptually.

[fluid pier]

yes, just try to use ogsr

[blazing lichen]

I just like how ogse looks and feels

[lucid lily]

hey guys, in SoC are the blue chests always safe to use as storage?

[idle matrix]

I think any container is technically but the blue ones tend to be conveniently located

[lucid lily]

[silent forge]

Hi I read that it is no longer possible to play the mod for SoC, Priboi Story. Is this true?

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

[fallow sedge]

Do you not need to play true stalker to be a considered a true stalker fan?

[silent forge]

And Now? I paly stalker 2 o a mod of the trilogy?

[fallow sedge]

Nah you should be able to. Even if it needs earlier patch you can downgrade.

[silent forge]

True Stalker is a mod?

[fallow sedge]

Well a mod with that name exists, yes.

How i can do the downgrade? And which patch should I install?

[fallow sedge]

I am not a mod expert, I recommend joining C-Con modding server and asking there

Maybe there is a standalone version / repack available as well

heh, i mostly hangout in fanart and lore channels

[viscid viper]

Shadow of Chernobyl but you're playing with a buttplug that never stops vibrating

[silent forge]

There are a lot of mod guys!

[civic pewter]

Clear Sky Revision is an good mod for Clear Sky.

[silent forge]

Why?

[civic pewter]

Because restore the cut content of Clear Sky and fixes a lot of problems + has an recreation of the atmosphere of the build 3120..
Is truly good, i play it 70 hours before go limansk

[silent forge]

Thanks.
But...What is Limansk? Another mod?

[civic pewter]

Limansk is an level/map of Clear Sky.

[silent forge]

Ok now i remember...thx

[woeful salmon]

Hi guys, is there a channel here where they can help with editing files: ltx, xml, script?

[ebon tusk]

use any common notepad app
learn how xml and lua files work

[woeful salmon]

Yes, that’s the problem, I know what I want to do, but I don’t quite understand how I can figure out which file is responsible for this.

[ebon tusk]

what do you want to do?

[woeful salmon]

I want to disable absolutely all pop-up text on the screen. And as I understand it, these are basic functions of CoP, but not of the modification I play. As I understand it, they can probably be disabled in some file via True/False.
Here are examples of text:

[ebon tusk]

you could probably do this by simply removing them from the localization files
go to your language folder and do a serach for the keywords you want to delete, find the lines in the files and delete only the text in them

[woeful salmon]

You mean the xml files in the config/text folder, right?🤔

[ebon tusk]

in config>text>the lang youre using, perform a search for the kyeowrds youre looking to delete on all files, use notepad++ for ease of use

[woeful salmon]

There is a problem with this method. If I want to delete all the text that I don't need, it can take a lot of time, since the mod has a large list of items, all the names of which I simply don't know. And they will be displayed when you press the F key. So it would be much easier to disable the function/script responsible for this, although I don't know what file it is.

I thought that maybe in the official discord server of all the Stalker games, I would meet one of the developers, he should definitely know)

[ebon tusk]

Notepad++ allows you to search for a keyword in all files inside a folder

[woeful salmon]

Yes, I know, Total Commander too, but I often find xml files, and they only contain the text itself, and I can’t figure out what scripts or ltx files they are associated with.

[ebon tusk]

if the mod was made well, then the xml file is the localization file, it should have the text of the pop up, including the press f bit, dont delete the xml identifier itself delete only what is inside,
<>this<>
should do what you want, minimal file change

[woeful salmon]

So you're again asking me to delete text in an xml file that I don't need, right?

[ebon tusk]

yes, see it like this, in a normal xml file, it would be laid out like so

    <string id="aem_start_421">
        <text>So, what are you going to do now? No more fighting in the Arena, close your small business and search for a better life in distant lands, or what?</text>
    </string>

what this does is render the text inside the <text> identifier, therefore if you edit the code like so, it will remove the text

    <string id="aem_start_421">
        <text></text>
    </string>

if you cant find the specific strings, then the mod developer was sloppy and left this stuff either in the UI or script files, do the same there

[woeful salmon]

I wrote above that this is a bad idea. Interesting, of course, but extremely time-consuming. I just need to disable the action of displaying inscriptions on the game screen, and just need to understand which file/files are responsible for this.

[ebon tusk]

its a lot easier to remove a few text lines than analyze the function scripts + some stuff cant be removed and is baked into the game like saving shows you a dialogue

[woeful salmon]

There are not a few lines of text, I already explained. I'm afraid that there are so many that I will simply get confused or it will take a very long time.
Is there any way to contact one of the developers who had a hand in the Stalker Trilogy?

[ebon tusk]

no

[woeful salmon]

Why?

[ebon tusk]

they arent here

[woeful salmon]

Not a single person?

[ebon tusk]

no

[woeful salmon]

Hmm...strange.

[ebon tusk]

for a game tahts almost 2 decades old? weird standards...

[idle matrix]

You can try and track them down yourself but most of GSC is not in the server anyway

And the company had shut down for a few years in the early to mid 2010s

[woeful salmon]

Yes, I know about the GSC, but I just don’t know where to turn for advice.

[ebon tusk]

like I already told you, the easy way to do this is to delete the stuff you dont want from the localization files, if, stuff like the tab text pop up cannot be removed without editing stuff in engine anyway

[woeful salmon]

Yeah, but I've already explained twice why that's not a good idea. Okay, I guess I'll have to suffer myself.
Thanks for the help anyway.

[blazing lichen]

Alot of the people who worked on the trilogy left and made 4a games however who knows if they still work there

[fallow sedge]

Most og devs prefer to discuss something else

Dude wanted to contact devs who did not work on X-ray for 20 years for mod support lmfao

[woeful salmon]

Well, technically, what I want to do is not related to mods. These are the basic functions of Call of Pripyat.

[fallow sedge]

Your question is related to modding, a normal player will not need to adjust tooltips. No dev will remember the technical details of their implementation after 20 years.

It’s such an absurd idea to reach out to them it’s honestly funny

[fluid pier]

Why do some factions in the trilogy not have Ukrainian voiceovers?
For example, Duty was voiced by Oleksandr Vilkov, a Ukrainian. He also voiced Clear Sky, and they speak Ukrainian, but Duty does not. He voiced other characters as well, and they speak Ukrainian — but Duty speaks Russian.
Same with the Mercenaries. They were voiced by Hryhorii Herman and Andrii Prokhorov. Prokhorov founded 4A Games, but his voice acting is in Ukrainian in Shadow of Chernobyl. Hryhorii later started voicing bandits in Clear Sky. Still, Hog speaks Ukrainian in Clear Sky.

Kardan and Vano were voiced by Ihor Melnykov. Kardan speaks Ukrainian — but Vano doesn’t.
Ivan Rozin voiced Monolith in Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky, and also Loners and other unique characters across the trilogy. Yet Monolith speaks Russian.

Monolith in Shadow of Chernobyl was also voiced by Oleh Stalchuk. But he also voiced Loners and unique characters — still, Monolith is Russian-speaking.
In Clear Sky, he also voiced Clear Sky members and Mercenaries, among others.

Volodymyr Tereshchuk voiced Mercenaries, Bandits, and Military — but the first two are Russian-speaking.

Oleksii Cherevatenko voiced Monolith, Foma, Azot, Noah, and Beard.
So why is Monolith specifically Russian-speaking?

Sorry, I'm using a translator to write this.

[idle matrix]

My understanding is that in the original Ukranian version they had some factions speak Russian and some speak Ukranian as a creative choice, it was never done entirely in one or the other. I can't speak for why they made the exact choices they did, I imagine it is to characterize the groups, but that would be lost in the English version I played

[fluid pier]

This was done either out of economy, or they wanted to portray the monolith, the mercenaries, and the debt in a bad light, as if they were something bad.

[ebon tusk]

@fluid pierthe ukrainian dub was never completed and wasnt released in the original being left in the files abandoned
the EE version implements these ukrainian VAs and the parts that werent recorded they are kept with russian VAs

[dire crow]

What I was doing 5 years ago today:

[blazing lichen]

Peak

[fallow sedge]

What

This is just plain incorrect

It was completed (as far as they wanted to complete it leaving some factions Russian), it was released about a year after each OG release and it WAS available before

you can select it in steam options for OG

You’re the last person I expected to spread misinformation so confidently lol

[zealous abyss]

Any recommended mods like Radiophobia for clear sky? closest I've found seems to be Last Fallout Overhaul? I just tried it but it just feels a bit off to me? any other recommended modpacks?

[fallow sedge]

SRP is a good vanilla+ mod pack though I would run that on second playthrough imo

[idle matrix]

Agreed on both counts

Clear Sky is a bit light on mods compared to the other games anyway

[viscid viper]

I don't think so, LFO is your best bet unfortunately

There's Dead Sky, but you'd have to wait for it to release first

[ebon tusk]

if its your first time playing CS play SRP
if its the later, try the 2021 version of LFO, not the newest, that one sucks

[viscid viper]

wait send him the c-con spreadsheet

[ebon tusk]

play the OG without mods, you dont need them

the EE versions of all 3 games are inferior to the OG versions, they are riddled with new bugs, and had old ones not fixed, along with visual downgrades
play the original, COP doesnt need any mods to make it run well, it runs ok from boot, no game breaking bugs

[viscid viper]

this is false

motion blur in stalker is 10x better

[ebon tusk]

how grim

this is an awful situation to be in

I pray that you can unshackle yourself from this awful corruption and step into a brighter day

[blazing lichen]

Id recommend OGSE/OGSR over radiophobia 3 or anomaly

[idle matrix]

OGSE/OGSR are a good shout. SoC but with More

Alternatively you can tour the all time great story mods like spatial anomaly, Incubator+Dreamcatcher, Goldsphere, wind of time, path in the mist, etc

The Exception is another good one

[zealous abyss]

Is Arsenal Overhaul Redux any good for clear sky as well?

I'm currently stuck between Arsenal Overhaul Redux, ABR and giving another go to LFO even though I'm struggling to like it so far and SRP

[fallow sedge]

No what he’s saying is true

EE is inferior in every way

[zealous abyss]

I think I've narrowed it down to either ABR or Arsenal Overhaul Redux any recommendations on which?

[viscid viper]

Nuh uh

The blurryness is a massive upgrade

[fallow sedge]

Okay you ARE being ironic, I just had legitimate discussions with people who consider EE an upgrade

[viscid viper]

i'll admit it is a little LOW effort

but atleast they TAPERed it up so its popularity won't FADE away

[fallow sedge]

wdym by that?

We had three games in store with overwhelmingly positive rating. Now the best rated stalker entry in steam is S2.

I’d say the popularity of the trilogy took a hit.

[idle matrix]

when the best thing i can say is that there is at least controller support then it is not a very good upgrade

[somber plume]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/saiga-12s-drum-magazine-kit Hi, can anyone help me? I can't get this mod to appear on my Stalker Anomaly 1.5.1. I don't use mod loaders; I copy files manually.

[viscid viper]

You really should use mod loaders, they reduce headaches.

[somber plume]

Haha, the truth is that yes, I have had my own mods for a long time now.

[zealous abyss]

Really struggling to enjoy clear sky I'm currently using ABR CS mod with it the combat is hard but I didn't realise there is infinite carry weight... is Sky renewal mod any good? I also considered arsenal overhaul redux but that seems to mainly just add stuff from metro?

[ebon tusk]

why are you using ABR?

[zealous abyss]

I saw it recommended a lot

[ebon tusk]

its really bad, use SRP, fixes up a lot of CS bugs and tries not to oversteep its boundary of fixing bugs

[zealous abyss]

Oh... I considered SRP but I wanted a little more stuff added on top not just fixing bugs if that makes sense just to make the game feel a little bit more modern that's why I was gonna consider sky renewal mod or arsenal overhaul redux instead...

[dull tendon]

and picked the worst mod for that

abr literally removes stuff from the game

[blazing lichen]

Mfs play slop and can't even spell it correctly either 💀

There's so many better mods

[fallow sedge]

halflife done now for hunt down the freeman

[viscid viper]

Hunt Down the Strelok

[dire crow]

@blazing lichen

[blazing lichen]

Thats awesome

[zealous abyss]

Like I said I just saw it was recommended as a good one thats the only reason I tried it

Clearly that doesn't seem to be the case

I decided to go back to last fallout overhaul and I was enjoying it but it seems very unbalanced and it's crashing so often so I've had to stop my playthrough and look for another mod

[azure tinsel]

looks like this mesh precision issue was fixed in the latest update! (though it's not in the patch notes) - very very happy to see that in 🙂

[fallow sedge]

Are vanilla models affected by that as well, or only modded ones?

[azure tinsel]

yeah it affected vanilla meshes too, but to a smaller degree due to the lower polycount

in shadow of chernobyl the aks74u iron sights had some texture shifting due to this for instance

[azure tinsel]

bit hard to see but here on the tip of the barrel on the shotgun it was not properly round due to this issue

and, of course, custom models now look fantastic

[steady gust]

guys whats your fav weapon pack in any mod

[shrewd ravine]

Does anyone know if there are Mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl ''Enhanced Edition'' like Autumn Aurora or Radiophobia 3 but for Enchanced?

[civic pewter]

Just play the OGs or standalone mods

[shrewd ravine]

bruh, because I'd like to replay the Enhanced Editions but with Mods xd

[civic pewter]

The modding on the EE is ¿weak?, yet no there's some mod like Autumn Aurora.

[shrewd ravine]

So which one?

[civic pewter]

AMK 1.4.1 (SoC) and Clear Sky Revision are good choices

[shrewd ravine]

For Enhanced Editions?

[civic pewter]

that mods are for the OGs, sorry, i dont know about mods of that scale for the EE

[austere cedar]

Overhauls like Radiophobia or Autumn Aurora are not possible on EE I think. They change lots of the stuff under the hood

[shrewd ravine]

sad

[fallow sedge]

Modding of enhanced is very limited, you won’t see overhauls like that popping up in the next year or so.

And even then, considering no engine changes, radiophobia will never be possible.

Message u/NatVak on reddit if you have it, that’s the mod author and he will be able to provide tech support

[mint vigil]

You are clearly missing a file. What mods do you have other than ZRP?

[raw blade]

Only the optional mini mods included in ZRP

[raw blade]

Okay will do

[mint vigil]

Which are?

[mint vigil]

No need

[raw blade]

Okay uh

[mint vigil]

Show me the optional mini mods

[raw blade]

Okay one sec let me go to my computer

[mint vigil]

Also, redo installation and don't put anything other than the main mod files

I believe there should be a readme file somewhere inside the archive

Best follow it carefully

[raw blade]

I read every text file inside

Before touching any config or installing anything

Oh I did actually install the actor.ltx files in gamefiles/config and creatures/

[mint vigil]

Like I said, just reinstall without adding any optional addon

And let me know if the whole thing launches

[raw blade]

I'll give that a try

[mint vigil]

The files you already have are missing one. Which means, you installed a compatibility patch with the add-ons you mentioned and bricked it all

[raw blade]

ah makes sense

I'm not new to modding games but this is certainly my first time modding stalker

fresh install zero config

just whatever comes pre-configured or pre-activated

yes, in this state the game launches and is usable, but there are minimods that I would like to use and I like my configurations. I will configure ZRP the way that I like it, and make sure not to install anything I don't need. thanks for the help I hopefully won't be back for techsup

[mint vigil]

Usually, some mods include standalone add-ons (simple configs), and compatibility patches that requires installing the main add-ons files first then the ones you find in the archive (it's a bit unpopular tho, so I think you simply mistaken one of the files for an add-on)

[raw blade]

that's likely. most of my modding in the past has been Fallout 3/NV/TTW and cyberpunk 2077. that's usually either drag and drop or mod managers. never had to use a proprietary modifier.exe

[mint vigil]

It's fine, man. There is always a first time for everything, so mistakes are okay as long as one can grab a lesson or two

I've been away from modding for almost half a decade now, but fortunately, I still can deal with crash logs and most stuff

[raw blade]

for sure, thanks for the help bro

[mint vigil]

Anytime

Regarding the mini mods, make sure you pick the right one and do it one at a time then test. If any override pop-up shows up, abort the whole thing and use what you already managed to install. I would've helped more if I had my pc close

[raw blade]

okie dokie, noted!

[unborn ledge]

Dead City belongs to Last Day

[dull tendon]

olr 2.5 dead city is far betteer

[shrewd flame]

Last Day is canon and i'll die on that hill

[shrewd flame]

There are different dead cities ?

[dull tendon]

in olr 2.5 you can explore much more the place

there's even some isolated houses there

[unborn ledge]

REAL

[civic pewter]

in VoA too

[raw blade]

I'm looking for a more updated stalker SOC experience. Do you think gamma or radiphobia is the better option?

[dull tendon]

none of these 2

[civic pewter]

1. GAMMA isn't an "update stalker soc experience", GAMMA is an title/addonpack completely different compared to Shadow of Chernobyl.
2. Shadow of Chernobyl Update 1.4.2

[dull tendon]

swr soc, memories of the zone and autumn aurora

all these 3 are ok

[raw blade]

I'll look into those

I'm downloading stalker SOC 1.5 mod

[fallow sedge]

I recommend soc v1.0006

The true updated experience

[raw blade]

Well you don't say

Lmao

[prime holly]

anyone know the best modern mods for the older series? i want my graphics to look sharp and i want modern weapons.

and also a cheat menu would be appreciated, cuz im one of those lel.

and also i kinda want a better gunplay experience

i cant play anomaly cuz lag

and 1 more, whats the best game to mod cuz i dont know which is the best tbh

[dull tendon]

there's no thing like that

also, if it's your first time playing, play then vanilla first

but if you really need mods to play them

soc = memories of the zone or autumn aurora
cs = abr cs or sky renewal
cop = gunslinger or abr cop

[ebon tusk]

Recommending abr, autumn or gunslinger for a first play thru
Death

No trial

[dull tendon]

shh

[ebon tusk]

We burned ppl at the stake for this 500 years ago

[dull tendon]

i know they are mid

but better these than just jumping on gamma without playing the originals

[ebon tusk]

AA is peak, ABR and Gunslinger are straight dogshit

But they aren't stalker

[dull tendon]

abr cs is very dogshit for removing the weight mechanic

cutting the bandits too

[ebon tusk]

CoP ABR is dogshit for making the game worse

[dull tendon]

yeah

it literally removes content

[austere cedar]

@dull tendon this for his first playthrough 😄

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009

New version

[blazing lichen]

First playthrough NO mods man

The trilogy doesnt even really need them imo

[fallow sedge]

Then just recommend originals

[fallow sedge]

AA has “hd models” lmfao it’s tasteless garbage

[dull tendon]

you know how they are, they won't play

[fallow sedge]

Doesn’t really warrant retarded suggestions still, it’s their choice in the end

And I’ve seen many people starting out with vanilla trilogy just fine

[sick sand]

I remember playing AA without HD models... Did they update it or something?

[fallow sedge]

I have googled to check the screenshots and I stay corrected, must have played some fishy fork

[austere cedar]

True Stalker models are the best

True to the original work but slighlty HD

[ebon tusk]

Are you talking about MoTZ or smth? AA predates HD Models

[fallow sedge]

Dude I swear to god I played through Autumn Aurora with those goddamn kitbashed models and hated every second of it

[fervent acorn]

is there a weapon mod that works for the enhanced edition of CoP ?

a good looking one?

If you want mods EE is not your choice

[civic pewter]

No, but there was an failed attempt of port of FWR CoP 0.9.5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzizRkuW1qg

[fervent acorn]

kinda sad

I wanted to play cop again, the normal one looks weird

here is a comparison

[dull tendon]

so, just play it?

[young fable]

try STCoP

[fervent acorn]

alright thanks

[blazing lichen]

its an old game who cares about the graphics lol

[viscid viper]

(It's free)

[civic pewter]

IX-Ray 1.2.1 is a good mod, maybe it's an option for you.

[fervent acorn]

its still in development

[civic pewter]

Yes, but 1.2.1 it's an complete version totally playable.
Has a lot of features.
