So when it say copy the English translation into the main game folder. Does that mean move the file English translation into the Incubator file?

[gaunt sonnet]

Send a pic of what the english translation folder has

[weary skiff]

I have done it

[gaunt sonnet]

You've installed it properly?

[weary skiff]

Yup. Just had to pull a specific file out of the English translation file

[smoky ridge]

added scattering tool to my SDK for CoP

[smoky ridge]

I made possible the best minimap editor

[civic pewter]

I know that u say minimap but this is for change the entire Global Map, right?

I know that mod the global map and positions of the map is a somehow of tedious problem because the process is sooo "blind"

[smoky ridge]

It can probably do absolutely everything: turn on all levels on the global map at once, load your new global map, drag, resize, add a new level, and simply by clicking save, automatically write all the settings into the level file. No need to manually edit anything in Notepad. Later, I’ll probably need to add the ability to include a loading screen from those files I drew back then. So that there’s no need to edit anything in Notepad at all — just hit build and enjoy! 😎 Here is some example screens while I tested it. I want to to add weather settings a little bit later to that.

[civic pewter]

Great

[stark gust]

hello, is there a way to disable psi radiation effects? i'm playing Shadows Addon (basically SoC), and it's bugged so i receive psi damage everywhere in radar, which wouldnt be much of a problem as it happened to me in vanilla too and i completed the brain scorcher quest just fine, but in Shadows Addon you get these terrible nauseating camera effects that make aiming impossible

can i disable the camera effects somehow?

[stark gust]

update: im stupid

[gaunt sonnet]

Aren't we all

[tardy gale]

Guys what is the diffrence between amk autumn and AMK 1.4.1 + NLC 5 + NS3 as I am stuck on which one to choose for my first playthrough or if none of those should I just do complete 2009?

I also dont know if ogsr would be better or radiophobia or if i should play all of these including lost alpha but even then I dont know what order 😭

Finding the right mod to start with is really hard 😭

my friend said that I should do this order if I really planned on playing all of them but some of them may be redundant

Complete 2009
AMK Autumn Edition or AMK 1.4.1 + NLC 5 + NS3
OGSR
Radiophobia
Lost Alpha
Stalkersoup

He said stalkersoup if I really wanted to feel a grindy game

So sorry for loaded questions I am just very lost

and require help 😭

[ebon tusk]

Complete is completely redundant, AMK + NLC5 + NS3 changes a lot from AMK Autumn Edition
you should probably play OGSR and Lost Alpha before Stalker Soup and AMK's, that'll be a smoother introduction to mods

[idle matrix]

if you are gonna play stalkersoup you may as well go full OP-2

[tardy gale]

I see thank you so much that helps a lot 🙏. Just out of curiousity, I waws wondering why complete is redundant and since I hacent done a vanilla playthough yet would you still say ogsr and lost alpha is ok? Aso what about radiophobia I heard it was vey hard but I would like to try it if its good too

[ebon tusk]

why havent you played vanilla yet?

if you want to play Stalker, start with SOC with ZRP

[gaunt sonnet]

starting with mods is the wrong way, in the wrongest way possible

[ebon tusk]

short end, if you have never played Stalker before, don't start with mods, play the vanilla game, if youre having problem with SOC, play with ZRP but nothing else
after that, if you want to shake things up play Lost Alpha, if you dont mind playing in the same maps play OGSR
AMK + NLC etc... is overwhelming for anybody not experienced with mods

[gaunt sonnet]

and Radiophobia is harder than usual afaik, yes. And it would be even harder if you never played stalker, so of course dont play it yet. It's SoC but it adds a lot of quests and economy and gameplay and balance changes

[idle matrix]

It's harder than vanilla but a lot less so than it was years ago. I still say you should always play vanilla first to understand what the mods are doing in the first place

[compact wolf]

Hello, I have a question regarding the in-game length of the 24 hour cycle. I want to change this in Dead Air (inspiration from DA Revolution, which has significantly longer days). Since its a CoC based mod, the method of modifying it should be similar. Since DA has the whole zone degradation thing going, I want the process to take longer (this hopefully being a way of doing so).

[dense karma]

still got Anomaly 1.5.1 going here with a number of addons (and my own mods) - so is there any really good reason to nuke and update to 1.5.3?

[gaunt sonnet]

not really, some fixes and few minimal changes

if you are happy with what you have and dont need some specific 1.5.2/1.5.3 addons, stay in there. If you really like what you see with some specific 1.5.2/3 addons, change

[dense karma]

heh, I suppose i could install 1.5.3 in a sep folder

[idle matrix]

1.5.2 was basically a bugfix patch and 1.5.3 was just an update to make it compliant with the GSC standalone mod policy

[dense karma]

did they remove any stuff like marlboros and commercial music (pink floyd/jimi hendrix etc)

in 153

[idle matrix]

not to my knowledge but i havent played since 1.5.3

[dense karma]

any significant performance increase with the updates since 1.5.1? i saw there was a github repo where someone is continuing to update this openxray

took me a min to wrangle 1.5.1's odd performance issues in larger places like jupiter / outskirts; wildly fluctuating fps until i figured a few things out

[gaunt sonnet]

I have no idea so it'll be better if you go to the moddb page to see if they did, or to their discord and ask there

Tbh, I dont think you'll see a big improvement, maybe some things here and there

The engine, although better than raw xray, has still its drawbacks, so most likely some (if not all) performance issues are from the engine itself

[dense karma]

thx fellas; guess i'll have to d/l to a sep folder and give it a shot; see for myself

[gaunt sonnet]

That works too, yeah

[dense karma]

the "disable core 0" helped a bit with 1.5.1; also noticed cranking the world draw distance past 1/2 added nothing but nuke perf hard

[gaunt sonnet]

Yeah the engine is a bit outdated by today's standards, especially with the core limitations

Some others like IX-Ray, or even Areas engine (which is 32bit) manage to perform much better

[dense karma]

whatever GSC did with the EE versions of xray was pretty impressive; cranked everything up on that and played through SoC last week, ran great

[gaunt sonnet]

afaik, they run great on the originals too, I think it's only CoP who has troubles (I think)

but the multithreadding of course helped

[tardy gale]

Thank you os much Guys yeah ill start with zrp but could I ask why completet is redundant or why you wouldent recocomend it

I just want to know why 😅

sorry for my grammer very tired at the moment

[gaunt sonnet]

Its not a great "vanilla+" mod, adds a lot of stuff, some even incoherent, boring, unnecessary and stupid

[tardy gale]

Really?

Damn

[gaunt sonnet]

Theres far better options, like for example, AMK, although not vanilla+ either, but much better than Complete

So if you go for a """vanilla+""", go with AMK

[tardy gale]

people said since i havent palyed vanilla bsae yet I should start with zrp and then go to ogsr and losa alpha and then like AMK Autumn Edition or AMK + NLC5 + NS3 and hten like radiophobia maybe 😅

Would you also agree with that?

[gaunt sonnet]

Yeah, thats probably the best course of action

[tardy gale]

got it

[gaunt sonnet]

What PC Lover told you earlier basicslly

[tardy gale]

Of course

sounds good

Thank you os much guys

genuinely for all your help I was so lost 😭

But I feel so much more confident now

See yall later and bless you all 🙏

[fading prism]

bro...

[hoary lintel]

for those who have played road to the north. I was tasked finding the Compass. Noah supposedly has it. went there, the guy's dead. No compass. Hermann said I might find it pripyat. Combing the outskirts and pripytat fot two real days now, sick of it, is it really findable?

[hoary lintel]

woah, ok weird but I found it atop the Vine. Thank you, Zone!

[smoky ridge]

I'm working on my Menu editor, and want to say something:

Please give me his contact and I'll say him everything I think about him

[manic ivy]

😭

[hoary lintel]

who am I supposed to recruit for the boss in rttn?

[sleek hare]

ZRP was better than whatever Gunslinger was supposed to be for SoC. I tried out Gunslinger and while I liked some parts of it, it changed the game too much to even be considered vanilla.

[gaunt sonnet]

We were talking about the Complete mod, not Gunslinger

[sleek hare]

No worries, just saw ZRP mentioned which is what I have been using alongside Absolute Nature for SoC and OWR3.

[tardy gale]

Ok so per your guys reccomendations I just finished stalker with just zrp as vanilla and iT WAS A SUCH A GOOD GAME

I cant wait to do an actual mod

should I do lost alpha?

or I tihnk you guys said ogsr

[gaunt sonnet]

I would play OGSR first

[tardy gale]

Of course but why over lost alpha first?

[gaunt sonnet]

cause it's objectively less boring I'd say

and you did SoC and loved it, so you get some of it again but also a lot of new stuff

[tardy gale]

Got it okay then ill do ogsr is the downlaod ofr it on mod db?

[gaunt sonnet]

@tardy gale check in here

either OGSR Legacy or OGSR Rearmed

[tardy gale]

which one is better in your opinion

[idle matrix]

Lost Alpha is worth checking out but it does kinda suck

[gaunt sonnet]

I would go with Legacy, I'm not a super fan of weapon overhauls

[tardy gale]

Is ogsr rearmed an addon for legacy?

[gaunt sonnet]

Im not a weapons fan, overall

[gaunt sonnet]

it's a modification based of legacy, yes

[tardy gale]

Ohh i love more guns

so I wouldent mind

[gaunt sonnet]

it has more than 90 guns I think, so you'll love it

[tardy gale]

SWEET!

Yes thank you I would lvoe that

So just to check again

why do people pick ogsr over ogse?

[gaunt sonnet]

that I can't say. Im sure the newer engine is less buggy and performs a bit more stable

I havent played either mods, but I've played Goldsphere: Completion which has uses OGSE, and I love that engine because it's much closer to SoC in the atmosphere

I would suggest tho to check the other games too, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat

btw, rearmed is in fact an addon of legacy, so you need the original one, my b on that

[tardy gale]

all good 😅

I see thank you so much

[tardy gale]

Out of curiousity do you think anomaly is the best cop mod

[gaunt sonnet]

not even in the slightest

[tardy gale]

really?

How come its so popular

I know people who said its super immersive and amazing

[gaunt sonnet]

because people like a lot of guns and pretty graphics and some hardcore elements with some Zone related things, and it's a sandbox. It's got it's decent stuff, but it's nowhere near as interesting

in fact, in that fork of mods, there are some that are even more interesting, like A.R.E.A or Dead Air

Not saying I like them, but they are far more interesting

the biggest problem with anomaly is the bloat of systems and the lack of incentives, as 95% of the tasks are "give me this specific random item that this trader may have or that you may find in a random loot somewhere deeper in the zone"

in terms of quests, CotZ is more dynamic in that sense

[idle matrix]

It depends on the kind of experience you are going for. If you like the fact that the original games are driven by a story (as basic as they can be at times), anomaly isn't offering a lot on that front

[gaunt sonnet]

basically this, yeah

although I'd still argue that if you like the kind of gameplay it has, theres better options

it's a decent one for sure, not a bad mod, I've even put plenty of hours to it

but nothing else than that

[idle matrix]

It puts a chip on a fair number of shoulders that it gets talked about to the exclusion of a lot of other really good mods

[gaunt sonnet]

🗣️ ✍️ 🔥

[tardy gale]

I see what you mean

so its kind of stealking the spotlight

since its very sandboxy

and gives a lot of freedom

but with a lot of random

things

that may give an illusion

to there being a stor

So what do you think is the most intersting mod for cop one for story and one for freedom and sandbox as I do like sandbox personalloy

but I also love story

so knowing a reccomendation for both later would help

[gaunt sonnet]

Spatial Anomaly and Return to the Zone are both masterpieces.
I've heard bad company 1 is decent and bad company 2 is amazing, and that true stalker is also great.

For sandbox, Dead Air, A.R.E.A, CotZ, IWP

[tardy gale]

Got Ill keep those both in mind

so is spatial anomaly and return the story ones I assume?

thank you for being so helpful

I know I am asking so many questions 😭

[gaunt sonnet]

Bad company and true stalker too

[tardy gale]

I really apprecaite it

[gaunt sonnet]

Dont worry, Im happy to answer the ones I know of

[valid zealot]

[civic pewter]

Most people that said play just has it as the only mod that they played

Also, technically is not a CoP mod, is a mod of Call of Chernobyl

[gaunt sonnet]

<@&1429819918492368916> bro...

[tardy gale]

Guys

Umm so what does it mean when this spawner thing for something I want to test out is asking to add a -dev switch to xrEngine.exe shortcut for ogsr for the spawner?

nvm i figured it out 😅

is the arsenal mod for soc just new arsenal 7?

[tardy gale]

the one that adds a lot of guns

[civic pewter]

NA7 is much more than just a lot of guns

[hoary lintel]

not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but are there any quest mods or dialogue mods (what's new type) for anomaly?

[gaunt sonnet]

Your best bet is to install anomaly anthology, which adds story mods to anomaly. But no, I dont think there are. And if there are, they arent that interesting

[tardy gale]

What else does it add more than guns out of curiousity

[ebon tusk]

new plotline, doubles the amount of maps and characters, adds loads of new quests and completely overhauls the entire game

[tardy gale]

😭

Damn

new plotline?!

I tohught it was just guns 😂

what is the one that just overhauls the guns and adds guns to soc

and hcanges nothing else

[ebon tusk]

the adition of guns alone changes the entire games dynamic

[gaunt sonnet]

I think they have already beated the game

[hoary lintel]

from what I read it just bunches up Spatial anomaly (which I played) and other story mods which I would like to try on their own. unless I'm wrong

[ebon tusk]

yhea, Anthology sucks, but so does Anomaly so

youll find better luck playing a good mod

[tardy gale]

I ahve yeah 😅 Thats okay the gameplay is okay for me to chagne i just dont want the story to change as Iwanted to play the game with a variety of new guns with no story change

but I dont mind gameplay change

[tardy gale]

Also do people hate anomaly this much 😭 Could it really be that bad 😭

[ebon tusk]

yes

[tardy gale]

why? 😭

i know it takes a lot of the spotlight

and ther are a bunch random useless quests

but is that the main reasaons?

[ebon tusk]

then you were prob talking about STSCO or smth, there are a lot of Gun Packs

[ebon tusk]

response to this

[ebon tusk]

it's basically just an outdated modpack for COM that was stripped down and ported to OXray16, its got glaring balancing issues and its behind everyone else in Freeplay for years, and it's triply hard to mod because of it's MLR integration

[tardy gale]

WAit umm I see that it has a lot of issues but what is com and what is mlr integration? 😭

[ebon tusk]

COC was the father of freeplay mods, it used a modified Xray1.6 engine and it is what everyone bases its freeplay mods on, COM was an adaptiation of COC to the design and balancing ethos of Misery for COP, Last Day later came along and slapped some mods into COM, packaged it and shared it around, Anomaly is a stripback of Last Day
MLR was incorporated into Last Day, and it is a mod whose purpose is to add maps and characters and quests, but because it uses different binaries you need a special SDK to work on them, anomaly doesnt have this

[tardy gale]

Ahh I see now

Thank you for the explanation 🙏

[tardy gale]

do you think you could help me find something for this

[tardy gale]

.

[ebon tusk]

like I said, your prob looking for STSOC

theres a lot of gunpacks for SOC tho, like Mari gun pack etc etc

you can look for them in SOC Addons tab on MODDB but STSOC is the most well known

[tardy gale]

Ohh thats great so it just adds guns

and changes the base guns?

[ebon tusk]

gun list
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stsoc-weapon-pack

[tardy gale]

wait a lot of these guns look like base guns does it actually add guns 😭

[tardy gale]

does stsoc work with zrp

@ebon tusk

[ebon tusk]

I dont remember

[gaunt sonnet]

Its not like you need it either way, zrp helps a bit but it isnt essential

Just uninstall it and install the weapon pack

[bronze ledge]

there is any future patch that they will put pt-br in the trilogy?

[gaunt sonnet]

you mean voice or text? enhanced or modded for og trilogy?

[bronze ledge]

only text

enchanted

[gaunt sonnet]

doubt that'll happen. I'd rather you play the originals in pt-br (if you havent of course)

[bronze ledge]

the translations of nexusmod dont have updates

[civic pewter]

such a shame that don't there a official translation of the trilogy to portuguese

HoC it's translated to the portuguese, i guess that the devs of the EE don't have the idea to make more translations

See a portuguese dub of the trilogy would be interesting

[honest needle]

Ngl I've found myself annoyed with anomaly. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like it adds too much and it eventually just offrails from the original stalker formula. I've played through every stalker game and I find myself replaying SoC all the time. I've gotten far in anomaly but something about it seriously isn't hitting. I really wanna find a mod or something that adds plenty onto the game, but doesn't go off doing extra stuff

[spark lake]

Yes
For Quests:

• Western goods ( Some gameplay changes so pay attention to MCM setting )
• Brotherhood ( Heard some bugs though )
• Storylines from DLTX Minimod pack, one about Clear Sky base conquers inclu one surprise quest ( Epic one ), one for parkour handplaced artifact search ( Some suprising static placements ), military ( Didn't try this storyline though ), beware as this mod breaks Vanilla balance/exceptions, swamp ecologist kill church enemies, yantar ecologist and Scar from Jupiter says hello, basically adds immortal quest npcs out of ordinary bases which ruin some potential combat encounters
• New Levels, didn't try it fully, but big recommend nonetheless
• Duty Expansion, heard weird things about it though like placing megaphones in unexcepted map
• iTheon new tasks addon, heard big things about this one especially that it have some unique mutant hunt missions
• Directors cut from DLTX minimod pack, don't know a lot of this one, but it make a bossfight in Anomaly storyline more interesting ( Three/two stages that he teleport for hiding )

iTheon's mod is on Github, looking at your profile, you will find a link to it by searching through GAMMA discord server and get the rebalance mod of it from Moddb

Oh there's a few more quests

• GT Emplacement, reworked stationary LMGs that include LMG defense quests
• More Dynamic Tasks, MORE FETCH QUESTS, better variety and removed weapon fetch quests
• WTF 4.2, yes that's a quest mod
  Big chance these mods won't work together so pick which ones you prefer and if there's overwrite warning, take a serious look at it

Uhhh... There are dialogue mods, but I often don't care about them so good luck

[spark lake]

They are interesting for those who find Anomaly interesting
Not as in the style of story mods ( Unique characters, cutscene, strategic set pieces ), but in the style of freeplay... Incentive you to do certain things

[spark lake]

It rebrands S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a grindy FPS survival game
It's listed as bad as in terms of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. content and in comparison of what other mods do
I did enjoy Anomaly btw

[spark lake]

Some modders in Anomaly did come to overcome some challenges of the SDK though ( Still challenging to do this stuff )
I mean if it's impossible how we got new levels and expanded/fixed maps mods in the first place?

[spark lake]

Nope <@&1429819918492368916>

[dense swift]

https://tenor.com/view/drop-pod-warhammer40k-ultramarine-warhammer-40k-gif-16946742

Ew, Ultramarines

[dense swift]

Yeah...

Toiletseat insignia blueberry muppets

[orchid berry]

At least I haven't seen any of them shout "Ave, true to Caesar"

.....so far

[dense swift]

That would be a step up from the bland paragon of competence spiel they have been on

But that's a discussion for another channel

[orchid berry]

Truly

[gaunt sonnet]

But those who find Anomaly really interesting have only played Anomaly, so their opinion doesn't matter that much in that sense

[gaunt sonnet]

And yes, its not impossible, but by making it much harder to do, it just shows the worse modding capabilities it has compared to other mods rn

[ancient wind]

woah its the advisor the guy that advises

[tardy gale]

My friends is there any spawn menu that could work any mod?

work with*

[gaunt sonnet]

no

some mods include new items, some others have scripts that can interfiere with it. You have to manually adapt the code for the spawner to the mod

[tardy gale]

😭

Damn Thats unfortuante 😭

It is what it is I guess

[tardy gale]

Is there any english translation for new arsenal 7?

Or is there a way I could just force it to english 😭

[gaunt sonnet]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/new-arsenal-7/downloads/new-arsenal-71
And get these addons: https://www.moddb.com/mods/new-arsenal-7/addons/hudsons-assorted-addon-pack

[tardy gale]

wait when I ram the game sidorovich was speaking russian

even though it was through this link

does the addon make it english?

ran*

not that I mind but I would like to be in english if possible as there are no subtitles 😅

[tardy gale]

There is english text

but is there any way to

make it have english subtitles for audio

or just have the audio be english

also my friend is doing memories of the zone and is asking if it changes the gunplay at all

[tardy gale]

Please I really need at least subitltes or english audio cause i want to understand if someone is saying something as I miss things easily 😭 so it would help

[tardy gale]

Should I just learn russian 😭

[spark lake]

Well eng translation with russian voices is common stalker practice
Mostly ( I think ) voices are from the original game and when there's important voice, it will get subtitles through news manager ( That PDA text history tab )
That's CS/CoP mods stuff though so idk if it's the same for ShoC

[hoary lintel]

is there an addon for vanilla anomaly with item animations (smoking cigs etc). I want to be cool

[ebon tusk]

pathetic

[hoary lintel]

why

should I have put /s or something?

[ebon tusk]

there isnt a mod for this, the stuff NPCs says are just random barks so you don't have to understand them, the game delivers all info thru text

[gaunt sonnet]

Go to the addons section and write "fdda"

Or item animation

There should be a couple of addons

[hoary lintel]

thank you

can someone help with this error? I'm using ultimate dialogue expansion 2.1. the game didn't crash before

[ebon tusk]

play a better mod

[hoary lintel]

relax, man, I have just finished rttn, need some killing as a merc

[gaunt sonnet]

You'd probably have better luck in the anomaly discord

But something you need 100% for anomaly are the modified exes, use dltx addons if possible and use MO2, always

For how and what is that, then again, ask in their discord, they have more experience and expertise

[hoary lintel]

will do, thanks

[civic pewter]

Russian and ukranian

The full experience....

[mint vigil]

[tardy gale]

What should I learn first do you think for stalker

[civic pewter]

Depends on u, personally id learn first russian due to that in comparison, there more content of ma interest in russian than in ukranian (stalker desdocs🙏 ).
If u want other thingis or if ur focus it's on other aspects that u would see better in ukranian, take that

Apart of "serious guides" for learn the two, i guess that u would play stalkermods for have a better idea of what says x phrases or words, i believe that if u understand x scenario (visually) u can understand easier what the text says or would say

Switch between localizations and play """blind""" perhaps is worth

[tardy gale]

I see

Then I suppose russian 😅

do you think a tutor would be the best method for russian?

[civic pewter]

Obviously the professional methods are the best, by a book, a professor, or smth, but my advice is start with smth light to know if u have enough interest on learn the language in a deeper way

[tardy gale]

sounds good 👍

I was wondering what is the best stalker soc mod that has english audio and has more guns in the game and its ok if the gameplay changes just that the story dosent change

other than stsoc

[tardy gale]

Wait do you guys think stsoc is one of the best weapon and combat overhauls

[gilded thistle]

Idrk about best mods but you can literally dowland english voice lines without a mod

[gaunt sonnet]

They are asking which mod has english voicelines and a mod that has a lot of changes

A lot of them do but idk which one specifically

[valid zealot]

Sleeping Bag mod for CoP EE
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalkercallofprypiatenhancededition/mods/21

[honest needle]

Decided to try out call of Chernobyl and it was great, the only thing that bugged me was bincoulars and every scope being bugged 😭

[dense karma]

me: i can has tools?? anomaly: you can has snork

Smoking mod for CoP EE
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalkercallofprypiatenhancededition/mods/23

[tardy gale]

What is stalker gamma

[ebon tusk]

a bad mod

[spark lake]

A big sized modpack for Stalker Anoamly that focuses on looting/crafting/moving to the north progression so no buying guns
A way more survival-focused gameplay than Anomaly

[tardy gale]

I see thats intersting is it better than anomaly would you say like how much difference in the no buying guns aspect is there like are the guns different animations or something else

[tardy gale]

Why? 😅

[ebon tusk]

empty world with nothing to do but pick apart blown out guns and slowly crawl from mud to mud because the hobo phase is the best phase
you have better hardcore mods, and better freeplay mods, and better hardcore freeplay mods

[tardy gale]

I see so its just suffering for no reason 😭

[idle matrix]

It gets highly repetitive

[gaunt sonnet]

afaik, mods like CotZ are more dynamic in terms of their quests. Not perfect, but its something

[spark lake]

GAMMA changes like 75% of Anomaly content ( No level/map, no story, no mutant and no anomalies changes though )
Yes there are, but most are already available for Anomaly mods page
The change makes you haul enemy weapons to your stash in hope of finding proper gun parts to improve weapon's condition, longing hobo phase as others say

[spark lake]

That's real Anomaly/GAMMA gameplay btw
That's the reason why I called it survival not freeplay as survival games are known for repeating the initial gameplay cycle
The world will feel old even emptier when you get to Radar, because you kept grinding for appropriate gear

[tardy gale]

How is that fun 😭

masochism?

[idle matrix]

IDK, I used to play it, there is a sort of charm to it initially because it is somewhat novel, but as I said it grows repetitive, especially since the anomaly story is terrible

[gaunt sonnet]

and this is why we should all play story mods 😎

[weary skiff]

Hey yall i forget is bad company a standalone mod and is it any good ?

[gaunt sonnet]

it isn't standalone, neither is Messenger (the prequel) nor the sequel BC2. I heard they are decent (6-7 / 10), except for Bad Company 2 which is considered to be great

[weary skiff]

When do we think spatial anomaly will become standalone?

[gaunt sonnet]

Maybe when the update drops? But I very much doubt that, idk if they mentioned becoming standalone

[tardy gale]

Sorry my friends i was curous if you could tell me all the mods in cop that are story mod that worth it wetehr og story or addon and also the sandbox gamemods with lots of freedom and guns to go with it so I can always know which ones to do later

[civic pewter]

In the next update without doubt

[civic pewter]

The author said that the next update will be standalone

Update 5 will be a expansion of the mod and will polish the mod in general, it also will have his own version of Gunslinger because this update it's developed on Spatial Anomaly + Gunslinger, a merge made by Mervin62 and Proffesional added his own details

[civic pewter]

Good Call of Pripyat mods:
Incubator, Dreamcatcher, Another Zone, Escape From The Zone, Bad Company, Spatial Anomaly, Path in The Mist, Secrets of Cordon, Ghost of The Past, In Spite of The Death: In Web of Lies

[tardy gale]

are these all story or sandbox as well 😭

[civic pewter]

story mods

Call of Pripyat don't has many sandboxes apart of Call of Chernobyl

[weary skiff]

When should that release?

[tardy gale]

I see

I marked htem down. anything sandbox as reccomendation?

[spark lake]

Yes, it do make you appreciate how long you stayed alive despite the many near-death times of hobo phase and it have atmosphere

[spark lake]

All of Shevi1140 recommendations are good, but do you want something specific in story mods?
Like sequel, vanilla cop gameplay with different story/map, entirely different gameplay, whole story in whole different new map?

[spark lake]

There's those of Call of Chernobyl/CoC
Legend Returns: build-like graphics with many quests and factions
IWP: CoC with modern weapons and polish, big vram requirement though
Call of the Zone: CoC with new quests and alive world
Dollchan 7: New everything, but weird
Dead Air: Masochism, but preferred by quest story fans
AREA: Masochism, but unique

[spark lake]

All story, but Escape from the Zone have different gameplay loop
You have a base that's only allowed saving in with crafting, stash and other activities while going outside to do quest stuff and looting

[spark lake]

Thinking about the atmosphere
The artstyle, graphics, weather and sounds of Anomaly did heavy lifting in making it popular
It go hand in hand with the gameplay

Give a look at Anomaly's 1.5.1 beta trailer to see what's the atmosphere is like
Common Anomaly day weather is more of shades of gray though, you will need to increase color saturation of the game to actually see colors

[civic pewter]

Yes

0.5.2 is stable with the patches

And is the best version of Global War

[idle matrix]

Whats the difference between OGSR rearmed and GA

[gaunt sonnet]

I think it was that one has like 70+ weapons meanwhile GA barely has much

[idle matrix]

Ahhh

So its a weapon overhaul but not GA

[gaunt sonnet]

I think so but I'm not sure

What Im sure is that Rearmed seems far more appealing

[civic pewter]

The visuals and weapons, the engine and the technical features

If u don't want play OGSR Legacy Edition, u should play OGSR GA

[gaunt sonnet]

Nvm, it was more different than I thought

[tardy gale]

||guys is the protag of stalker 2 the protag of stalker clear sky|| question regarding the protaginist of 2 games

[gaunt sonnet]

no

[tardy gale]

Ita diffwrent?

[gaunt sonnet]

yes

[tardy gale]

Ohhh

I guess this guy i saw lied good thing i checked 😭

[ebon tusk]

OGSR Rearmed uses the OGSR Legacy version and adds more weapons on top of it while OGSR GA is the continuation of OGSR, once they implemented Gunslinger they split the name off as they should, it has less weapons but has up to date graphical options, and worse gameplay

[half leaf]

im trying to download народная солянка 2026 OGSR but ive been having a hard time to get it to actually install and even then, im not sure where to put it afterwards, anyone knows?

[quaint plover]

Hello everyone, can I ask a question here related to the Zone Reclamation Project?

[gaunt sonnet]

You can, yeah

[gaunt sonnet]

There is an OGSR discord, maybe you'll find more info in there

[quaint plover]

I was messing around with "z_mark_abakan_etc.script". I'm kind of new to messing around with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (script) files but I managed to change it so that it also marks a few other NPCs, like Scarecrow and Father Diodor

I can't get it to mark Sparrow, Vampire, Barin and a few others though. I looked up their identifiers (if that's the correct term) on the Stalker wiki but it's not working

tl;dr: sim_stalker_master_master will mark 'Master' just fine but sim_stalker_general_upir won't mark Vampire. And this is in a savegame where I'm standing right next to Vampire. What exactly am I doing wrong?

[agile lynx]

hello guys

i have a problem in stalker anomaly

When I try to launch the game, I get the 0xc000007b error. What could be causing this?

[gaunt sonnet]

It'll be better if you ask in the anomaly discord (you'll get more answers)

[gaunt sonnet]

Well, from this specifics I have no idea, so better way for someone that does

[amber belfry]

Hello, I am pretty new to Stalker modding (Anomaly or any other modpack really) and only found this server and the moddb forum, I hope someone can help out or give me direction:

I am looking for a mod or settings to change/enable dynamic trading, with something that allows some these points. Thanks!

• The possibility of buying low and selling high depending on trader/location to become the trader of the Zone
  - Traders offering only a small selection from their full database, with faction relation allowing for more items and amount
  - Traders restock not accumulating current items as much but rather offering different items with removing some previous items
• Stalkers rarely offering some rare items or great deals or needing food or meds at high prices (the quest system is a bit like the last part already)
• Items that you sell have a chance to stay after a restock, allowing you to buy them back in case you find a quest or want it back for the use (might be already the default)
  - Traders getting items from other stalkers to have some random inventory
• Traders having different inventories with different prices depending on their faction, the location, etc

[gaunt sonnet]

maybe Im not knowledgeable enough, but I think you are asking for too much

At most, I know anomaly has some trader addons that make them more progressive or different, but still, I think it's too different from what you ask

[amber belfry]

Thanks, yea the current system is fairly basic, I will try out a few mods and see how I can go from there

[gaunt sonnet]

btw, maybe check Dead Air or NLC7: HE, I know the last one can be pretty hardcore but it has a more complex trading system than the usual mod out there

[amber belfry]

Thanks, will do. Currently I am trying out Old World redux and I like the simplified repair and item system. Anomaly has too much fluff just to make it more "immersive", I think immersion can be achieved with a living world much better

[spark lake]

Best place to look for modding help especially for Anomaly is Anomaly Discord server
There are some dedicated modders there that can give you good directions

[amber belfry]

Thanks. It doesn't need to be anomaly though. NZK Mod is on my list as it combines NLC7 and Dead Air, maybe it has more feature that I am looking for

[gaunt sonnet]

Be aware, that mod is an unstable mess

[amber belfry]

would you suggest sticking to dead air and nlc7 separately? I dont mind giving them a few days each

[gaunt sonnet]

Maybe try nzk and see if you like it / manage to play it properly

But I would go with either dead air or nlc yeah

[craggy sentinel]

Any mod recommendations? I already played ZRP and ABR and they were tons fun already :]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-strelok-marked-one-pda-stalker-soc-gif-11891098248306079922

[gaunt sonnet]

You can check this list: #🔩┃trilogy_modifications message

If you want a more specific recommendation, give us some details on what you'd like to play

[craggy sentinel]

Ay thanks man! I’m mostly looking into story expansion mods, gun reworks and maybe post ending sandbox (like, after completing the main quest you’re free to do anything)

[gaunt sonnet]

#☢┃stalker-general message
Here you have some story mods

For guns reworks ig you have Gunslinger, but you also have IWP (changes much more than only guns and its a freeplay), AWP and maybe STCOP.

There arent many post game mods afaik, but freeplays follow that criteria somewhat.
Theres IWP and IWP CotZ, Dead Air, Road to the North

[craggy sentinel]

Thanks a ton again, greatly appreciated :D

[stone nexus]

are there any newer weapon replacers, reanimations or sound replacers for SoC specifically? As much as I adore IWP or Anomaly for their weapon variety, its simply not the same story confined experience.

[gaunt sonnet]

SWR, FWR, maybe SoC Gunslinger if it actually exists now? idk

maybe go through moddb, I know some new mods like JAVA and HDMT exist, but I don't know about their actual changes or quality

maybe Memories of the Zone?

I also know about this one, it's like memories of the zone but I like it more, feels closer to the original game: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hlTI1LSwJ2zcNm1n0WAZqaKq18QZw29P/view
Made by a guy I know, isn't published yet but still, I had a blast, looks beautiful and is just nice

[stone nexus]

thanks for the recommendations, ill check them out.

[gaunt sonnet]

@stone nexus btw, forgot to post screenshots of the google drive link I posted. This is the mod I mentioned, "SoC Revisited"

I think it's DX11 only tho, so have your PC decently ready

https://tenor.com/view/house-dr-house-doctor-house-lupus-gif-6705717574587611771

[mint vigil]

[amber belfry]

Is there a mod that enables truly random anomalies? Like removing anomalies in the fixed locations and enabling new ones (fields/clusters) with each emission?

[gaunt sonnet]

For which game

[amber belfry]

well, I am ok with any that has it. Wasn't able to find it

[gaunt sonnet]

AMK for SoC, I know it has something similar to what you've described

Mostly the "moving anomalies after emission"

Has a ton of other things too btw

[amber belfry]

I believe NLC7 or dead air have new areas on game start and Anomaly has random minor anomaly locations, but didnt see random main/major locations where you can find artefacts

gonna check that one out

[gaunt sonnet]

Well, it is similar to anomaly actually

I think major anomaly locations are still there, but the random ones you find do become randomized after emissions

In fact, I am convinced Anomaly uses a similar system from AMK, if not the same one. A big ton of mods use AMK scripts and features cause they are that good

[amber belfry]

Interesting. One issue I have with base anomaly (and afaik it's confirmed lorewise that anomalies change with emissions), that it's easy to farm artefacts as the locations are predetermined and you just check them out after a few emissions

[gaunt sonnet]

Well, SoC is much more lenient because of its artifacts system (they are everwhere), so lets say you'll have a "different" system

Although idk if amk changes spawn

Oh btw, it has free roam after (true) ending! I think you were the one who asked about a mod like this

[amber belfry]

ah nah, that was the one after me. I am more interested in free roam/sandbox altogether (for story I can play the trilogy)

[gaunt sonnet]

Ah nvm then

[gaunt sonnet]

@craggy sentinel

[craggy sentinel]

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[idle matrix]

Well I know that OP-2 has random anomalies. Not even just after emissions I think.

But OP-2 has everything

I'll pick that up again sooner or later but the last time I was playing my save left me with some lasting trauma

[ebon tusk]

almost all SOC Overhauls have random anomalies because they come with AMK built in

[viscid viper]

does anyone have a backup link for misery+gunslinger? the google drive link is dead

[fickle anchor]

Do i understand right that Anomaly is three stalker in one. But with more stuff
Gamma is Anomaly 2.0 (we need more mods) ?

[gaunt sonnet]

Not in the slightless.
Anomaly is a sandbox (not a story mod) that has all the 3 games maps (and 4 community made maps), nothing else. The story, lore, gameplay, scripted events, atmosphere and everything else is different.

And Gamma isn't Anomaly 2.0, its a crafting and survivaling simulator with hardcore mechanics, with a big amount of changes to Anomaly. It's a totally different mod at this point

[silent forge]

Hi.
Is the GoG version of Anomaly Gamma only available in English, or is there an Italian version as well?

We Italians want to play Anomaly!

[ebon tusk]

that like a huh, confession of guilt or...

[gaunt sonnet]

There seems to be an addon that translates it to italian

So In sure you can just use that. St least for anomaly, idk about gamma

[prisma abyss]

Is there a mod for clear sky enhanced that makes it look more realistic?

[merry sentinel]

Can someone help me mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl on PC please

By "help me mod", you mean that you want to actually mod the game or that you want to install a mod

[merry sentinel]

I want like god mode a gun,ammo,weapon spawner etc

[gaunt sonnet]

Also, I really doubt there is, even for the vanilla game. At most Sky Renewal exists, but its not for Enhanced

he keeps saying click the ZED button idk what button that is

can someone help

if i do that ima need some help from a vid or someone on a call

[merry sentinel]

cus thats confusing i just read it

i dont see modifier.exe...

i got it but still need help

[gaunt sonnet]

well I can't really help more than that comment did, it's pretty detail and clear

just try and mess around, I doubt you'll break anything

and if you do, it's easily fixable

[merry sentinel]

YAY I DID IT THANK YOU

It still doesn’t work

@gaunt sonnet

[gaunt sonnet]

Remember to re-watch the video ig, go over the previous steps again. And Im guessing you are doing this over the original game, not the enhanced edition, right?

[merry sentinel]

Enhanced

[merry sentinel]

Enhanced

[gaunt sonnet]

a

well, yeah, nvm, this won't work on enhanced

[merry sentinel]

Ok

CotZ I've heard its pretty good, Prosectors Project too

And OLR 3.0 is still pretty good because it just got its SOP now (Semi-Official Patch) so its playable

Its not as experimental as it was before so the AI is toned down a bit. But still

Hey guys :)

I've just finished STALKER Clear Sky and wanted to start with Call of Pripyat. From what I've seen, there's no ZRP/SRP equivalent to this game. However, I would like to know if any of you have some "must have" recommendations. Thanks!

[sick sand]

It doesn't need it at all, it's the most stable game in the series. Play it as it is.

[sick sand]

Didn't notice anything that special about CotZ A-Life, tbh. I still really love it for many other reasons though like quests, balance, dynamic anomaly barriers that can block you from accessing some level transitions... But yeah.

[stray quartz]

Good to know :)
I'll play it as is, thanks!

I dont know much how OGSR does it, but there seems to be 2 options I found on their discord server:
"Press - in keypad. Press + in keypad to get the hud back"
or
"Open console (~ key). Then type hud_draw off to disable hud"

Also

You said that it won't be like a typical CoC based mod @worthy frigate

What will change

[worthy frigate]

Well we not sure yet

But we're going to make 2-3 long storylines instead one big story

[warped cliff]

Nice

(make something for ecos and military, they are just sadly left for themselves)

Also not starting with a leather jacket as a soldier or ecologist would be a good idea

That's actually what I don't like about freeplays

All start in just rags

No matter what faction you choose

Stuff like ecos, military and monolith should have their own specialised equipment from the start

[worthy frigate]

Ah, no we'll make protagonist

So no fracture choice at start etc

[warped cliff]

Ah, so it will be something like less strict vanilla, yes?

[worthy frigate]

Yep

With some choice by playing

And possibility do not make any tasks

Project is not announced yet

So it were some insides

[warped cliff]

Yeah

Thanks for that

I'll be waiting

[neon socket]

does anybody know in what format are DA save files?

[warped basalt]

I'm not sure that formats of saves are different in different mods

It's still sav/scop

No?

[haughty jolt]

Anyone knows a mod where u have to build a base and defend it?

I mean, i dont know if it exist but i like to play something like that

[warped basalt]

Not sure it exists

But you can make it manually
Just download any mod with spawner
Then make your base and spawn thousands of diff monsters

[neon socket]

.dds .scoc and .scop

[haughty jolt]

Hahaha nice idea, i like a mod like that, where u have to build and improve your base, get some stalker to help you

Maybe someday i will try to create the mod by myself

[warped basalt]

[neon socket]

@warped basalt do you know how to decode those file formats

?

[warped basalt]

@nimble thunder any ideas?

I know there is smth like.. universal save manager

Or universal save extractor

Not sure about name of the tool

[nimble thunder]

Mm

I don't know

[warped basalt]

@neon socket
I'll pm you

[neon socket]

K

[oblique gorge]

anyone know where the names of npcs are located in stalker files

[empty cove]

st_characters.xml

text/eng folder

[neon socket]

I'm stuck at the ending of the Road To The North mod. I've destroyed all the generator things above the tube-like incubators, yet I still can't pull the lever and deactivate the C-consciousness. Anyone got an idea why tf this thing ain't workin?

[neon socket]

do you need to be at 1000 rep with military in dead air for them to stop being hostile?

[neon socket]

is call of Chernobyl worth downloading

[grand nebula]

Nah go for anomaly instead.

[lost quarry]

does anyone know if i change "pickup_info_radius" from 0 to 1 it'll turn it back on???

(dead air mod)

in the actor.ltx

[neon socket]

haven't played anomaly yet. how does it compare to dead air? @grand nebula

[grand nebula]

@neon socket that much that you cant directly compare it.

Dead air is more like hardcore version of misery. Anomaly offers many options to suits everybody

Any in new update theres gonna be all reworked maps. Check moddb for discord inv and check dev blog :)

[neon socket]

I'll check it out once I finish dead air

[grand nebula]

Yeah maybe by that time theres gonna be new update :)

[neon socket]

so anomaly is more like CoC but with more features?

[grand nebula]

Nope its difficult to describe anomaly.

It aims for realism but not artificaly managed like in dead air where you run out of stamina in two seconds

[neon socket]

stamina is fine in dead air if you eat

[grand nebula]

Well best thing is to try it and see it for yourself:)

[neon socket]

I will

[neon socket]

@neon socket Reikia lietuviško kanalo šitam servery

what is that road to the north thing that everyone keeps talking about?

[neon socket]

it's a stalker mod that is like coc but with a story

[neon socket]

hmm

[neon socket]

does anybody know how to annihilate all mutants in DA so they never spawn?

cuz i'm too lazy to balance them rn

[neon socket]

lads, where do you sell interrogation documents in dead air?

[worthy frigate]

@neon socket politics arent allowed

[snow umbra]

@worthy frigate i hope youre joking cuz im preeeeetty sure hes talking about the mod

[neon socket]

That was banter but ok

[neon socket]

@snow umbra so do you have any idea on where to sell those documents? snitch doesn't buy them and I don't know who else would

[snow umbra]

Nope, havent played the mod

[neon socket]

is there a website or a wiki containing all of the information modders know about the game?

e.g. what certain config files do

[dim torrent]

its all scattered all over the internet. Mostly in Russian

no one really bother to put it in one place, especially in English language

[warped cliff]

Fixed a case in vanilla script where stalkers are "watching screams" or "seeing noises".

Stalker mods in a nutshell

[dim torrent]

mutations in zone in a nutshell 😄

[warped cliff]

yeah

[warped cliff]

So

I run to Yanov station

and I hear shots

I open the door

and I see a squad of monolith inside

I closed the door and ran as far as possible

[neon socket]

ouch

[warped cliff]

like

I saw that gray suit and was like "nope"

[rotund barn]

nade them

you pussy

[hidden sapphire]

thats like you open yanov doors only to find bandits outside shooting at you

[warped cliff]

"Nade them"

what if I don't have nades

[snow umbra]

how do you not have nades

[warped cliff]

Dead Air

and I started as eco

(faction mod ftw)

[hidden sapphire]

is there a mod for cop thats sole purpose is to make nature look more wild like adding mroe grass n stuff

[neon socket]

i'm sure there is a mod called atmosfear or absolute nature

[crystal rampart]

what are some good mods with COC?

[warped cliff]

You mean freeplays?

People would recommend anomaly for you, but I personally prefer RttN

It has changed map layout

But it's still very enjoyable

[worthy frigate]

Dead Air

[warped cliff]

Dead Air is good aswell

My second favourite

Although some of its systems are new to stalker

And can cause a bit of a headache at first

[frigid mesa]

@crystal rampart if you want to have a "vanilla" experience of CoC, I suggest you to download a lot of the add-ons on the Moddb page.

Later, I could give you a list for my "vanilla CoC".

[haughty jolt]

anyone have a starter guide to create stalker mods?

[neon socket]

Nope

You gotta figure it out yourself

😉

@haughty jolt Depends on what mod you want to make. Texture replacements and config editing (for example, damage values of guns or mutant attacks) are much simpler than say level editing or engine editing.

[warped basalt]

@last thistle
@bitter geode has some issues with Anomaly

With old drivers

[last thistle]

@bitter geode hey

@gray pivot I don't know about the DLL problem, I also don't know about this repack - You should get it from official sources - we have a Discord server and a Russian channel if that helps you 😃 I'm just a bit concerned about the DLL/registry thing, Anomaly does not change anything like this.

[past briar]

Reborn's gonna get another sequel.
They trilogy now bois.

[grand nebula]

@warped basalt Hey quick question for openxray. Is multithreading included in engine right now ?

[warped basalt]

We are working on it. We added separate UI thread and @nimble thunder created simple thread pool
But currently, we don't have whole multi-thread OXR engine

@grand nebula quick question for Anomaly :)
Is Anomaly's engine has full x64 support? OXR almost full is x64, except file system
What about Anomaly'?

[grand nebula]

Ah great to hear because in Anomaly we are currently facing issue with fps drops so much that it makes us ask a question what will be the next step to fix this issue.

Yeah Searge made x64 support for it.

[warped basalt]

[grand nebula]

We are using 14.22 COC

[warped basalt]

Old version, I guess

of OXR

[dim torrent]

Anomaly don't have full x64

[grand nebula]

and do you have any eta on the multithread ? I heard that Lost Alpha guys are also doing it.

[warped basalt]

No any eta except "as soon as possible"
yeah, as I know @rafa from LA is working on it

But I'm not sure about his progress

In addition they're used SoC' engine, not CoP

@dim torrent @grand nebula
your words are completely different
Who is right?

[grand nebula]

Yeah it would have to be highly modified for COP.

@rapid pebble he will be better in explaining than me he knows the engine more 😄

[rapid pebble]

Hello there. So, here's.

Anomaly is x64.
But as all we know, there's only one engine with probably best multithreading support and it's Rentgen Luch

Problems with performance starts from rendering (sun cascades, double rendering of sun according to Oxygen etc), and ends on LUA, AI, and other shit

[warped basalt]

As I know, on Rentgen Luch, LA added just a few threads. And just split work between all threads manually, without pool
@worthy frigate is it right?

Well, we in OXR looks for thread pool as best solution of multi-threading

[rapid pebble]

Anomaly was based on Open XRay as i know.
Not sure about version of OXR...

[warped basalt]

Old version, I guess
Since it's based on CoC. And qweasdd worked on updating CoC engine to the latest builds of OXR
But not sure about his progress

and ends on LUA
Any thoughts about this?
Do you know about C#-scripting on Oxygen?

[rapid pebble]

I heard about C# scripting in Oxygen

But they want to replace LUA with C#? Because idk if it's possible to use two programming languages in scrips

scripts*

[warped basalt]

Yes, their main goal is to replace/rewrite lua-scripts in C#

if it's possible to use two programming languages in scrips
It's possible. This is how works RoH right now

Because they're also work on the C#-scripting
It's not an inside

[rapid pebble]

Good to know. Nu chto, time to search solution for performance problems 😄 Thanks for informations!

[warped basalt]

Well, we worked with Demosfen. They had issues with particles. And our team together with Demosfen' team found a reason of this and I guess solution
So maybe, you just need to update your engine to the latest version of OXR

[rapid pebble]

Ay, porting whole engine etc onto latest OXR = suicide

[warped basalt]

joke for programmers
Let's find a few fellows from India
They'll do this for us

[rapid pebble]

So, why we don't have X-Ray 2.6.02, if we can find some guys from India? 😛

I-Ray 2.0

[warped basalt]

Well, who knows about s2 team

NDA + no comments

[worthy frigate]

[thin inlet]

[silent stratus]

whats the anomaly mod then?

[warped cliff]

Anomaly is like less hardcore freeplay misery

[silent stratus]

ah thx

[silent stratus]

and what does that alife thingy do then?

[warped cliff]

Gives AI more freedom

[silent stratus]

ah alright but uh where is the alife.ltx file in stalker lost alpha? if it has 1 in stalker cop i changed the distance or something to crazy high like 9999999 and it stopped those lagspikes

[warped cliff]

Idk

[silent stratus]

[warped cliff]

[silent stratus]

u mean the peeps with [LA DC] in the name?

[warped cliff]

[floral remnant]

Is Lost Alpha a standalone mod like CoC?

[warped cliff]

I think it is

[warped basalt]

It's a mod for SHoC

And CoC it's a mod for CoP

different platforms, though

[floral remnant]

But is it like its own game? Such as it has its own launcher?

[warped basalt]

Yep
It's a big modification, so that's why it has its own launcher

And even has mods for LA

Modifications for modification
