subtle beacon
AMK 1.4.1
earnest granite
If you're playing for a second or certainly not for the first time try Lost Alpha but if it is indeed the first time i surely recommend Radiophobia 2 it's just an addon pack
subtle beacon
Original with more bugfixes
earnest granite
Oh wait no, you're PC isn't that good for it
fierce matrix
i've played Oblivion Lost.
earnest granite
I guess AMK is a good idea
subtle beacon
Oblivion Lost is return in build version
fierce matrix
Right, like the "dreamed" beta.
subtle beacon
AMK has a minor bugfixes original, not graphics, weapon, etc, Just bugfixes.
fierce matrix
Okay, thanks. I'll check that one out.
That would be "AMK-Complete" in moddb, right?

i should make a mod that makes it possible to make campfires
anyone have an idea if this is possible?

It's based on CoC 1.4.22, so pretty much anything before CoC 1.5

what is the best overhaul for Stalker clear sky? (preferably with a spawn menu cuz I like to do random stuff when i complete the game)
north plover
Im trying to get back into playing stalker mods. Im looking for some mods that add a new storyline into the game, mods like sgm 2.2 and stalker anomaly.
north plover
those are both for SoC right?
earnest granite
I liked it but it's more of a meme mod than an original and Normal
It's just a soup mod
earnest granite
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-conservative-soup-special-edition-v10 but i haven't played it
Call of Pripyat has some damn great mods
Lemme find my fav
earnest granite
Gunslinger is one that i haven't used but it's greatly developed
Biggest gun mod pack i think
warped cliff
Yeah
earnest granite
This is a nice mod if you want to go with vanilla playthrough with minor changes https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-pripyat-complete
This one is just a mod mashup https://www.moddb.com/mods/completepack/downloads
Propably what you're looking for
Misery 2.1.1 is a very nice mod
2.2 made the game feel like Clear Sky shooting AI and autoscope
I prefer 2.1.1 tbh
warped cliff
2.2 also introduces grenade spam
2.1.1 was pretty moderate at that
But 2.2?
It just bombards you with nades as much as possible
earnest granite
This is also a nice little overhaul https://www.moddb.com/mods/abr-mod/downloads/abr-mod
It's more of a Addon pack
@north plover You can also try SGM 2.2 again but with STCoP as they made a patch for compatibility
north plover
damn that sounds pretty fucking dope
earnest granite
@north plover No swearing!
north plover
biggest complaint with sgm 2.2 is just how the story is directed
my bad feller
but yeah that sounds pretty nice
earnest granite
Wind of Time is the best mod i've played with a total overhaul
north plover
yeah i heard about wind of time
earnest granite
It is like a standalone mini-game or soemthing
north plover
but i heard its a bit buggy but it looks good
have you played dead air yet?
always wanted to try that
earnest granite
My friend played it when it was in Russian beta and he got around some bugs but i guess they fixed them now
Yes indeed i played Dead Air but i prefer Misery or Anomaly
north plover
Two mods which i always wanted to try are either dead air or misery/last day
warped cliff
Exploration aspect in DA is the best from all freeplays
north plover
i see
warped cliff
Slower walking speed help with that
north plover
alright
north plover
So what type of mod is misery
north plover
alright, well is it freeplay or total overhaul or?
earnest granite
'survival' 'dark' 'new mechanics'
Minor overhaul with the original CoP story mode
warped cliff
Minor?
earnest granite
Well, compared to what the other mods do i must say that it is somewhat a minor overhaul or a standalone mod on it's own rights
north plover
i see
warped cliff
Harder?
earnest granite
I don't know if they made a version of it like Misery for CoP i guess there's only the OpenXRay version of it
@warped cliff You describe it then
It adds new start mechanics and glowsticks
warped cliff
Also weapon repairs
earnest granite
You can fight with an axe or a shovel
warped cliff
Also hammer and crowbar
warped cliff
So
I installed anomaly 1.5
I spawned at yantar because eco
so
Storm was just going AWOL
in 2 minutes I got 5 orbituaries about death in Yantar because of mutants
there was no second without a shot fired
after getting killed by pack of snorks the game crashed
ah yes, Yantar
north plover
well i got dead air and it seems really fucking good
gonna install wind of time now
see how that goes
warped cliff
I like how Cordon in OLR is just dead
fierce matrix
What does Freeplay means in Stalker?
snow umbra
it means you walk around anywhere you want without having to do any tasks
worthy frigate
Call of Misery is Call of Chernobyl + Misery, good mod.
I guess it's standalone
fierce matrix
I'm making so many questions lately, sorry for that.
It's there a way to hook up a gamepad to SoC?
worthy frigate
No
fierce matrix
I have just tried, Dead Air. and it's looking good so far.
I wake up, prepare myself to go out, change a few words with fellow stalkers and then i heard some gunshots, everyone gets nervous and start to look out for the source of the sound, i go further, i get out of the village, cross the road and walk through the open field where i came across a dying dog, take out my knife and cut off it's tail, i look around, another dead dog, and another, till i find a dead stalker, he's been ambushed by a pack of mutants dogs, i take all his stuffs and come back to the campfire and honor the dead stalker by feasting on his loot.
warped cliff
Yesterday I had a funny thing with anomaly
Because one thing is sure
Dogs are overpowered
Like
In mobile lab in Yantar ecos have a spawn point
So while running and screaming like a scared girl (legit eco tactic) from two dogs I ran into the lab
Two dogs, remember
Before they were killed 12 ecos died
And respawned immediately
In T-pose ofc
past briar
Is that because dogs have over9k hp like cats or because NPCs cannot hit mutants at all?
warped cliff
I think the first
past briar
Anomaly is balanced
past briar
Dogs are supposed to die in a single shotgun blast lmao
north plover
shieet, i havent really encountered dogs in anomaly too much
still a fire mod tbh, definitely one of my favorites
earnest granite
No one said that Anomaly is balanced, it's a stalker game
And in it
Both the FIRE DAMAGE and fire protection are broken as even if you upgrade your seva suit fully with only the fire and acid protection it won't change a bit and you will still mostly die instantly
On the other hand SSP-Ruby is a good choosing for fire tho
Remember that @warped cliff ecolog
warped cliff
I know
hidden fossil
Fact: OLR is the greatest mod because it allows you to murder children
hidden fossil

warped cliff
70 quicksaves is normal in OLR?

||According to the journalist, the karliks in OLR are actually mutated children from around the chernobyl exclusion zone||
warped cliff
ah
hidden fossil
while olr states that they are children
warped cliff
nice
hidden fossil
Yes but in dc theyre just mutated deformed humans
While in olr its stated theyre Kids
Which is based
earnest granite
In Lost Alpha DC, what's the difference between DX10 and DX 10.1?
fierce matrix
@warped cliff i think the bite from a Mutant dog would be pretty letal.
Imagine the amount of infection it can cause.
warped cliff
Yeah, but not as a bite
warped cliff
One or two
fierce matrix
Well yes, that doesn't make any sense.
dim torrent
In real life mutated dog bite would be one of smallest problem you would encounter in the zone...
snow umbra
if bloodsuckers are around then yeah lmao
dim torrent
Radiation(and radiated artifacts) would make you sick after few days, you would have no energy and diarrhea would be your new best friend.
Military would just shoot you and take your stuff.
Bandits would not just sit in a park and sing a songs, they also would steal your stuff.
Blowout would not care if you are in some small building. It would melt your brain.
You could not find proper place to rest because of wild animals and other stalkers that.... want to kill you and take your stuff.
Anomalies would not be so visible and would melt your body and mind.... or just rip you apart.
Monolith would not stick to just few areas, they would probably do small rides in the middle of night to kill stalkers.
And Bloodsuckers would probably kill most of stalkers that walk alone....
Overall I think Zone it self in real life would be treated WAY differently. It would be more like in book where there would be more scientist from all around the world
warped cliff
To kill or drag them into BS
snow umbra
radiation artifacts already kind of make you sick/poisoned if you dont balance them out
past briar
And then you find a single -rad artifact and give no damn
warped cliff
Yeah
dim torrent
But in real life radiation dont just disappear after taking one pill or smoke cig :]
Radiation is nasty and it damage body in way that you can fix it at all
warped cliff
Yeah
dim torrent
one of reason why I would never go to the zone even if I love it 😦
warped cliff
I'd go as a part of scientist team
dim torrent
I have crappy digesting system and radiation first hit guts so I would be zombie after day or two 😄
dim torrent
I think its offtopic so lets be happy that we are not radiated 😄
snow umbra
some of us are going to be eventually
warped cliff
We are all getting irridiated all the time
snow umbra
yeah
hidden fossil
i dont have much to live for and the zone is comfy
im gonna go play the ORIGINAl lost alpha
earnest granite
There is also a small possibility as to if the Zone was real and the Anomalies were real that it would create even much more powerful ones, even could create a gravity field that would suck you up into it from few metres and after that spaghettify you or completely mash you up
@dim torrent @snow umbra @past briar And this is not a place for stalker discussions or what if, this is a mod chat #⭐┃nospoilers_general #504592611328393216 or just #💬┃en_offtop

I think you will have to indeed unpack them using a db unpacker

Luckily this one, other than the other unpackers for stalker .db files, let's you choose the file you want to unpack and you don't need at least 6GB of Ram to use it
Alright
hollow saddle
I’m pretty sure there is an Arsenal overal “Addon” for CoC in the addons section. Whatever coc has under its addons is compatible with it. And it should say for what versions
CoC adds all the maps from the previous 3 stalker titles and puts them together, along with some returning features of the PDA. Check out its faq for what it adds
fresh elk
Thanks! One more thing though, since I already have arsenal overhaul installed, if it were to be compatible, would I have to move the mod folder into an add on thing? Or could I just leave it.
And can I get a link to the up to date version?
hollow saddle
I mean it depends on what version of CoC you have. I’m not at my computer atm. I will be in about 30 mins. If someone hasn’t already answered this for you I’ll get the link for you and set that up
hollow saddle
@fresh elk im back, so as far as CoC, are you looking to get the 1.4.22, or the 1.5 beta?
All the downloads for CoC would be here https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl
mb that was the 1.4.22 patch, this is the proper location ^
If you get the 1.4.12, you can get the 1.4.22 patch and patch the 1.4.12 build, which is the stable version
Here are all the current addons for CoC at this location https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons
if will say on the addons, for what version its for, let me look for aresnal overhaul for you real quick
Arsenal Overhaul for 1.4.22 https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/arsenal-overhaul
IIRC your supposed to drag and drop the contents of the download into the gamedata folder, which is where you installed CoC
fresh elk
wow
the last mod I installed was Arsenal Overhaul, which was quite simple
this seems daunting
are there any tutorials you would recommend?
hollow saddle
I can walk you through it if you want, tbh its actually really a simple task
hollow saddle
Do you want the 1.5 beta version, or the stable 1.4.22?
7zip or winrar are ok, they are basically programs that archive information
fresh elk
stable 1.4.22 please
hollow saddle
you can think of it as, it makes information smaller and easier to transfer.
by compressing it.
fresh elk
ah
hollow saddle
Ok, first download this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/call-of-chernobyl-1412-full
Then get the patch: https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/coc-1422-patch
You need to have a valid copy of Stalker Call of Pripyat on your computer
Do you have it installed somewhere, via steam or gog or something similar?
fresh elk
steam
hollow saddle
Ok, next up your gonna need to decide wether you want 7zip or winrar, (i prefer winrar but I mean it litterally has no effect choosing one over the other)
its a relatively small download and should be super simple to install
which would you like, and I can get the DL link for you
hollow saddle
excellent
fresh elk
😃
hollow saddle
When your downloads finish let me know
for now, I would check the addons section and download any addons you want that are compatible with 1.4.22
since you'll have to wait for the download anyways
fresh elk
gotcha
hollow saddle
ping me with @hollow saddle once its finished, and ill help you install it :).
hollow saddle
Thats not a problem, I will be on for the next 8 hours. Take your time, and dont worry about it
fresh elk
and will 7 zip convert the files for me?
I downloaded the files before installing 7 zip
hollow saddle
basically yes. what your downloading is just a compressed folder of stuff. you then use 7zip to open it and extract the files soewhere
fresh elk
so they don't have a .zip
hollow saddle
yeah you downloaded a zip file basically
fresh elk
gotcha
hollow saddle
like basically all 7zip does, is let you interact with the file you downloaded. The file is a zip file regardless if you can open it or not. so it will be all good
fresh elk
@hollow saddle alright, it's finished downloading
hollow saddle
Noice
ok, now you need to decide where you want to put your game files. this is where the game will be installed to. I personally would just put it on my desktop
but thats completely up to you. You could put it inside a games folder, on another harddrive, etc.
be sure to remember however, you save data will also be inside this game installation folder
take the zip file, from the 1.4.12 , so the first one. Open it up, and drag out the contents to your desktop (or where you want the game files to be located)
it should be a folder named coc, or something similar
(you have to open the zip folder with 7zip)
if it doesnt have a folder like that
fresh elk
so I have the folder in 7zip
hollow saddle
you will have to make a folder call coc (or whatver you want to call it)
and drag and drop the contents of the zip folder into it
im looking at the beta 1.5, and thats how that ones setup
fresh elk
for some reason I can't drag the full folder

Hey, can anyone supply me with OLR 2.5's Fix 29 patch? Original link seems down... https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4CTJ/xpgDasf51

CoC restores cut mutants, right?

past briar
I think it's only the cats.
Although there should be black poltergeists too.

just much more polished than dead air. CoC isnt really worth playing as its pretty much a dead project now and its developers have gone AWOL or moved onto other mods

I wouldn’t say it’s not worth playing

sends you off to find 13 crystal skulls and to collect schematics for an ultimate bioradar
wish i was joking
tribal yacht
you take the crystal skulls to the "shadow of the monolith" who is an invincible monolithian and he gives you the last skull and tells you to follow your heart, which transforms the skulls into an artifact called "Idol of the Monolith"
past briar
+100500 to all stats?

2.1 is surprisingly really fun when you get past the painful early game
nope, its useless
its for a quest later on, thats why
past briar
Weh weh weeeh
tribal yacht
you get god mode artifacts much later into the game, 2.09 had a 48kg artifact that literally made you invincible
the only way you could die is if whatever killed you would've 1shot you regardless
you heal all your hp on the same frame you take damage
its amazing

one of the rewards for beating the hardest quest in the game is a cache of crow eggs that make you fly

Do you guys recommend RTTN?

Well, it looked like a better version of Misery/Dead Air.

I don't recommend RTTN because it's mechanics are just a copy-paste of CoM without the polish of other mods that have caught up, like Anomaly. The narrative really isn't enough to keep you playing and the map layout is.. questionable
play OP2 instead yes
earnest granite
I stopped playing it and deleted it from my PC as it was crashing every single of my playthroughs

upbeat vapor
Modding questions hour, gents
hollow saddle
I can answer any questions you got
upbeat vapor
Q: What is the best way to compress (or pack, you name it) game data into .DB/.XDB (CS only)?
For SoC I know NatVac's tool does the work
But where do you actually supply yourself a proper version of xrCompress to work with other 2 games?
I am aware of Bangalore's version on GSC forums but not sure what did he do and whether it will work...
People would say, why do you need to do that...loose files work okay
I need to know tho
hollow saddle
Unfortunately im not sure about that. I've never dabbled in that, only seen how to extract before and you use the gamedata folder to make changes.
upbeat vapor
Been years since I did this...
hollow saddle
I have no idea about re-compressing them
upbeat vapor
I had the tools in... 2012 I guess
hollow saddle
Hopefully someone with knowledge on the subject can speak about. Im gonna take a look to see what I can find about it though
upbeat vapor
Lost all of it
This is what I'm talking about
The compressor seems to be taken out of the official SDK but I can't find a trace of it 😄
hollow saddle
what exactly are you trying to do, like your project. are you trying to make a mod or?
just simply edit some stuff, and put it back together again
upbeat vapor
For what is worth I am thinking on something but don't wanna have a lot of folders and files, rather than a simple .db file that you can install and remove with 1 click (literally)
No need to fiddle with the LTX files themselves
It works good in SoC, so it should be possible on CS and COP
Formats should be like this .DB > .XDB
No difference at all
I might be wrong, tho
hollow saddle
Ahh I see, ok well I suggest you post your question again, just copy and paste it. So it has a bit more visibility from our conversation about it. I wish you the best of luck with someone having some answers or experience in this
upbeat vapor
Yup appreciated. thanks

Q: What is the best way to compress (or pack, you name it) game data into .DB/.XDB (CS only)?
neon socket
hello stalkers
i have a great request
can i have a torrent file for the Misery mod?
because i have shitty download speed in chrome
neon socket
Is there a torrent file on ModDB?
hollow saddle
yeah thats what I thought but I cant find it
this is not on moddb
its the misery site, so maybe thats better?
oh you know what, its still moddb
neon socket
It is
hollow saddle
yeah
neon socket
It's simply a 7z file and you can't really find a secure torrent file
hollow saddle
I would just get it from their site and deal with the slow download
or is your speed so slow, that it causes the download to fail?
hollow saddle
mhm yeah I figured that was the problem
neon socket
in chrome
hollow saddle
o.o
neon socket
but when i use torrent my download speed os 2mb/s
hollow saddle
I feel you, I was stuck with sateleite internet for a while, and it was slow, and when you went over your cap it was 10/ks
neon socket
I used to have a problem when my download speed would simply drop down real slow until it reached an unbelievably "disrespectful" speed
Like, less than 10 kb/s
hollow saddle
I was able to download anything really fast unless it was over 9.9 mbs
neon socket
thats why i download a mod i always look for a torrent file

im currently saving for better internet (Note that im only 14 and have no money thats why it will take a long tie for me)
How much do you pay a month for your internet?

yeah im not seeing anything as far as torrents for misery

The only solution would be to create a torrent file for someone and share it

so recently almost all stalker modification (overhauls) like CoC,Anomaly and Dead Air etc. cause my pc to crash mostly blackscreen with the sound repeating over and over again even the pc doesnt restart and I actually tried alot of work arounds but none of these could actually help me out
what can i do
i have zero performance issues most mods are very stable 60fps+
actually made a thread on reddit but it doesnt seem that anyone could help me out
warped cliff
Hmm, can't help you with that
white geode
it would be great if some of the moderators could reply or even the devs but that doesnt seem to be happening anyway but thanks for trying dude
white geode
i actually tried that on the anomaly discord but they cant help either i could try again
warped cliff
I will try on bs
warped cliff
Wait, you don't have CoP installed?
warped cliff
Here's your problem mate
white geode
i have to intsall CoP?
warped cliff
Yeah
subtle beacon
Yep. CoC can't run, if in register your pc not exist what you install CoP
white geode
well if thats the case i could try it out but how do I apply the mods on cop then or do i just have it to be installed
because you can play coc without cop
by -skip_reg command
subtle beacon
Why u don't use that command?
warped cliff
@white geode technically you can but its still not a proper answer
And you just need to have CoP installed
subtle beacon
In any folder
warped cliff
It can even have another mod on it
I have Spatial Anomaly on CoP for example
And stuff like CoC and Anomaly still work
hollow saddle
You said your PC itself crashes when you try to launch the game?
(the mods like coc Anomoly etc.)
subtle beacon
Oh, how much Ram on your PC?
white geode
16gb
subtle beacon
@white geode bro, wrote it on Anomaly mod server, I think it will be better
white geode
Already did that bro im actually testing the game out with dx9 on windowed mode
I dont have any crashes so far
subtle beacon
Dx9 with full screen?
Or u want dx11
white geode
Dx9 windowed at the moment for testing
Seems like it could have been a dx issue
Even though i have the latest dx version
Strange
subtle beacon
What is GPU u used?
white geode
Gtx 970
subtle beacon
I have some problems with OGSE 2 years ago, and problem fixed with downgrade drivers for GPU, but I not sure, what that's help
white geode
Hmmm well im Playing on dx9 right now and i dont experience any issue so far

anyone could explain to me how to reliably get a weapon / general model from stalker to blender?
soc specifically
winged raft
Hello all, I've hit a stump and need some help. I'm trying to turn the 9 inch M203 on the M16 in AO 3.1, to a 12 inch M203 (like the one from STCoP). However, it seems like the M203 model is, itself, part of the M16 model. I tried changing the textures, mesh, and weapon config all to no avail. But if the M203 is part of the actual M16 model, then there will be nothing I can do, because I suck at modeling beyond all belief. Thank you.
tribal yacht
I think how it works is that every weapon with attachments just has a seperate model entirely for the attachment, so youd need to change every model that has the m203 attachment if youre trying to make the m203 a 16 inch
winged raft
See that's what I had originally imagined, but after searching through every weapon file in both AO and STCoP there are no weapon models for specifically the m203. Only for scopes and other optics, i.e: m16_eot.ogf or ak74m_kobra.ogf. That's why I'm worried that it might be contained within the main weapon ogf; m16a3.ogf and just hidden on the mesh until it is attached to the gun in-game. I only have the models, meshes, textures, the whole works, for the long m203. But in-game when I attach it, it still shows up as the short m203, but with no textures, just solid blue with no lighting effects. So, if my theory is right, and the m203 is apart of each model individually, there is nothing I can do.

Hey @warped cliff Sorry for pinging
What do you need to run RttN besides latest CoP version?
I own the games on steam ^^

I think that that's all

next time this should prolly be in #🔨-technical ,
but pretty sure that either an item is missing or it could be a bug considering its coc1.5 which is still beta and not 100% stable.
((I'll give you some more info on it in #🔨-technical gotta look it up a bit. not 100% on where the error stems from))

Alright I took proamlus advice and went to download Road to the North
Only to be confused which files I need
Guess this is the latest and complete thing:

hi all, i have an issue with oblivion lost
everything in the mod works just fine except for some items' descriptions and names
upbeat vapor
Few hours into RTTN I'm getting real annoyed by some gameplay stuff missing
My flashlight always fails to work and I'm missing my minimap
Have to keep PDA opened each second
Is this done on purpose or its bugged?
upbeat vapor
Is this a battery thing now?
warped cliff
Otherwise you need to have a handheld flashlight
And what is wrong with the PDA again?
upbeat vapor
I'm used to the minimap instead of opening and closing the world map...like 500 times a hour
😄
Gets annoying (or I'm not used to it)
I can say I rarely played Misery
...
upbeat vapor
So the minimap was cut off from the game or just disabled?
I am lazy to check that myself in the gamedata
warped cliff
I think that it's cut off
sinful temple
my oblivion lost issue was solved by changing the game's language to english, in case anybody else needs a fix
left rapids
Which one do you guys recommend? LA DC or OL ?
earnest granite
LA DC if you're looking for a fresh breath of air and a new, somewhat original playthrough, tho you need a good PC for the best effect
tribal yacht
OLR 2.5 is a faithful recreation of the older builds and stays true to the design documents
so its a very good way to experience stalker as it would've been in 2004
its like playing a history
LA takes way too many departures from Oblivion Lost and has a pretty piss poor story with some really cringy rewrites

For anyone who play or played Stalker Spatial Anomaly: ||How can I kill shell?, when i tried to shoot at him, he always kill me in two shoots thank for his PKM also to make the situation dificult he is a literal bullet sponge||

So about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl which is a mod, is it possible to get the Svarog detector? And if it's possible, where do I get it?

Is there any mission I need to do or do I find it somewhere in a specific location?

I have a question, does stalker anomaly requers 64 bit windows to play it?
tribal yacht
its a 64 bit engine so yes
vestal thunder
How bad, i cant play it
neon socket
Pls no bulli
warped cliff
and if you want to get into freeplays then play something like Anomaly
or Road to the North
and I'm not the one to bully anybody
I'm just a friendly serverhood brony guy
@neon socket do you understand russian?
warped cliff
so russian mods are a no
hmm
so yeah
first play something like Oblivion Lost Remake
or Lost Alpha DC
depends what will get to you better
neon socket
How bout CoP mods? 🤔
warped cliff
CoP doesn't have that many mods
main ones are freeplays
they basically open the whole map from 3 games for you
and give no story
(depends on a mod)
For example Anomaly 1.5 has an integrated story
and Call of Chernobyl has it aswell
and I'd say that CoC is the closest to og stalker feeling
neon socket
If I recall correctly
Those are the kind of mods where you can freely roam around right?
warped cliff
yeah
neon socket
I'm actually interested in those
warped cliff
so for those I'd reccomend Anomaly, Road to the North and Dead Air
neon socket
Okay man, I'll try those

Anomaly makes Dead Air obsolete
Try Anomaly first, and if that's too "hardcore" for you then CoC
azure tinsel
👋
Looks like Lost Alpha already uses this same model with the weapon addon so it'll be trivial for me to just replace the textures 😃
saves me the hassle of converting the model

crystal remnant
I'm thinking of trying call of chernobyl, which version of it is the best/most finished?
tribal yacht
Anomaly
hollow saddle
prolly the 1.5 beta of CoC, but personally I use CoM 1.03 with all the addons + 64bit engine from Anomaly and custom edited tweaks. but to each their own it kinda depends on what you want
Anomaly would probably be a better bet then just CoC on its own. Way easier then setting up CoC with a bunch of addons, or CoM with a bunch of addons.
hot turret
@azure tinsel
Looks cool, but the grip is quite odd to my eye. Too bright maybe?
azure tinsel
Yeah 50% that 50% reshade vibrance filter
Its much less eye searing without reshade
green gorge
CoC 1.5 beta is less stable than Anomaly 1.5 beta
and like Maxine said Anomaly is really the best/most finished
Still in development (CoC is dead) and feature-wise it is ahead of CoC
with that said I think both need addons
like dynamic faction relations
neon socket
Hey boyos
When setting my FOV in Misery should I set it to a number that prevents fishbowling?
green gorge
set it to whatever you like lol
some weirdos like fishbowling
they also probably like other bizarre things like foreign objects inserted into parts of their body where they don't belong
neon socket

here's the makarov without reshade @hot turret
still brighter than real makarov grips though i was going for a ak74 orange bakelite mag type look on it

It's much better though
silent stratus
https://youtu.be/1wF58lqkWN4 why does he drops te mags to the floor would be nicer if he just puts it away cuz sometimes u reload when its not empty and u keep te ammo
worthy frigate
@silent stratus because we don't make new anomations, actually we can't
silent stratus
ah i see
@worthy frigate also in lost alpha what does gulags mean?
idk if its only in LA
worthy frigate
What do you mean?
dim torrent
gulags in stalker are "works" that stalker do, like walk to fireplace etc
silent stratus
ah i see
is that also the squatting at fireplace or only the walking thing?
also does anyone know how to fix crazy lagspikes every second in lost alpha DC at some places like the sin leader place?
kinda makes it impossible for me to progress in the game now
dim torrent
its really anything that stalker do, gulags are all those stuff that stalker do when not in combat
onyx shore
whats the best mod out for stalker right now?
tribal yacht
OP2 :^)
im seriousness there is no real "best" mod unless youre looking for something specific
want the best freeplay mod? anomaly
best story mod? maybe wind of time or spatial anomaly
best atmosphere in any mod? maybe goldsphere
etc
onyx shore
whats op2?
timid blaze
So just wondering, I've been playing Call of Chernobyl for a few weeks and had a blast with it. Ive also done some more snooping and seen some other mods im interested if they are worth playing. The two main ones are anomaly and deadair and just wondering which if they are worth checking out should i check out first
warped cliff
Hmm
So Anomaly has more stuff than Dead Air
But Dead Air has a better atmosphere overall imo
I like the slow movement speed from Dead Air
Also its repair system was a breeze of fresh air (pun intended)
timid blaze
love the atmosphere of stalker, il try dead air first thanks!
timid blaze
kk
green gorge
Anomaly makes Dead Air obsolete
If you like Dead Air's atmosphere more, that must be because of different vegetation? Chances are whatever vegetation mod it uses would work on Anomaly
green gorge
Can always be changed, though it has the highest quality vegetation I've seen in Stalker
warped cliff
Yeah, but it just doesn't suit my taste
green gorge
install absolute nature over it and choose your favorite preset
dim torrent
Vegetation, colors or models?
dim torrent
... so you dont like it but dont know why.... like seriously?
dim torrent
I made that vegetation and such opinions are not really helpful to fix them....
warped cliff
Ik
dim torrent
like people say its bad but dont say why...
warped cliff
I'm not saying that it's bad
Don't get me wrong
I'm saying that it just isn't it for me
warped cliff
Hmm
Idk how to say it
Well, Dead Air and Road to the North had the vegetation that I liked
Especially RttN
dim torrent
so low res repeatable brown bushes?
warped cliff
Well, the res and repeating is the thing that I didn't like
But it's that style I prefer
green gorge
Anomaly vegetation is tha best
The only thing that can be improved are the trees that line the Cordon, since they look lower quality than everything else
stiff tangle
so anomaly is the best stalker out there?
dim torrent
Well as far as I know Anomaly will dump my grass so better make backup if you like it so much...
stiff tangle
but i hear a lot from anomaly
green gorge
Best graphics, best freeplay unless you dislike the Misery stuff in which case CoC is the best freeplay
stiff tangle
any1 played misery?
green gorge
@dim torrent Worst case scenario, is your grass available as a separate download?
1.5 beta 2.4 has minor instability
stiff tangle
does anomaly contains some more places that Call of Chernobyl?
dim torrent
I had it on my moddb, but removed it because I was preparing new version
and forgot about it...
And then I canceled whole Two-K mod...
stiff tangle
does anomaly have faction choose
?
stiff tangle
idk, maybe anomaly is just like COC
stiff tangle
so it means hard?
dim torrent
nope its medicore but have lots of features
stiff tangle
if anyone of u played misery i see multiplayer option on misery, is it proper multiplayer or fake?
warped cliff
Especially battery juggling with new battery system
stiff tangle
looks like anomaly is the best COP mod out there, lets say i get anomaly
warped cliff
Ok
dim torrent
best open world, there are better in terms of story and gameplay, but mostly in russian or in translation stage
stiff tangle
i really wish for a online mod
dim torrent
look for xrMPE mod its on the work
stiff tangle
xrmpe its not on internet
RoH i feel its fake
i mean, i personally want a proper good old stalker graphic online exprience, but this time survival, not remastered
warped cliff
RoH isn't fake as much as it's just in a some sort of development hell
Not the normal game type
The indie game type
Where creators just don't have time/coordination to do stuff
dim torrent
no they had time, but they decided to focus on some crap that have nothing to do with WHOLE POINT OF ROH(read coop game)
dim torrent
its really like advertising Half-Life 3 and focusing on.... sales on valve... its the same stuff -_-
they make some concept arts, music, posters, some weird BR stuff, weird systems and changes on maps that have no point at all in current stage...
I hope xrMPE will not do the same mistake
Focus on multiplayer code and system. Then maps, then animations and at the end all others stuff when rest is ready
Of course I know that few people can work on them in the same time(artist do their stuff programmers their stuff) but primary should be code for multiplayer, rest are just addons.
RoH advertise it self as "hope" of stalker that give it multiplayer.... but they show new gun models, music and other stuff not related to multiplayer. And they wonder why everyone call it meme mod
stiff tangle
i dont see anywhere for anomaly to say that i need COP
do i need COP installed for anomaly?
stiff tangle
Damn i got COP for it

Play vanilla first before playing mods.
green gorge
Yeah that's a given, Anomaly doesn't have CoP's story/campaign
Although you can and should use mods on your first playthrough, just nothing huge like Anomaly
CoP with Atmosfear or SWTC, Absolute Nature 4, Absolute Structures, STCoP and maybe some kind of outfit mod
Or if you think you'd like Misery 2, you might want to use that
since they don't touch the story/campaign/quests
snow umbra
maybe a graphics mod or smth if you really dislike older graphics that much
but yeah the games are fine without mods
green gorge
No harm in improving the graphics with mods as good as those, and adding more/better weapons to the game
No reason to not make a game better
green gorge
First argument is subjective - some will feel it needs mods
Second is wrong
All mods don't disrupt balance
can easily improve it if you take matters into your own hands slightly
Stalker's vanilla balance is so bad that various mods will improve it
tribal yacht
CoP's balance is bad yes
but most people won't go out of the way to tweak mods to make it balanced
recommending mods for a first time is just stupid
green gorge
Recommending simple downloads that only improve the game is anything but stupid, it is a logical thing to do
Avoiding simple mods that improve it is what's stupid
For example, why avoid Absolute Nature
dim torrent
Graphic addons are OK, they don't mess atmosphere
Gyns addons? They somehow do, because they spoil players with 100 versions of AK and AR and mess that struggle to get good equipment.
Gameplay mods? Depend, if it's like tweaks in survival aspect or addons like items or artifacts... Maybe if it's something light...
I would not recommend misery for first play, it's just bad mod for that (and overall it's bad).
For any first gameplay of stalker clean game is must have... This is sad truth, graphic addons like Absolute Nature 3 or Two-K are OK because they keep gameplay original but anything else for first play is no-go.
If someone never played stalker, Anomaly is bad mod to start, Soc is priority especially without even graphic addons. Atmosphere in this game is just kicking butts and because of that atmosphere we all love it. If we dissect stalker to peaces its actually really average game, but atmosphere of it give huge boost to every aspect of it
green gorge
There's a large amount of gamers who like "hardcore survival" that would actually prefer Misery 2, I acknowledge it but don't outright recommend it
Also many weapon addons don't just make all the extra guns easily available to the player
So I don't know why that illusion is being presented here
The real truth is that pretty much every gamer would prefer the modded game over vanilla, and that most gamers do not replay games
The logical conclusion is to go for the modded superior game
But yes nobody should start with a total conversion like Anomaly
stiff tangle
Im actulky ok with this systems of vanilla grapchic
I finished clear sky
Almost SOC
Idk how to get through with pripyat
COP is so compliocated
snow umbra
id say the opposite
stiff tangle
I didnt know anomaly doesnt need COP
green gorge
lol
CoP is complicated?
You just follow objective markers until you reach the finish line
If you want a complicated game, go try Myst (realMyst: Masterpiece Edition) lol
hot turret
Never really liked LA tbh
The mod itself is great but the story feels just like immature stalker fanfiction
tribal yacht
Because it is immature stalker fanfiction
hot turret
I guess
tribal yacht
Even with the illuminati part being removed it's still not very good writing
green gorge
Yeah, LA DC at least remedies the gameplay significantly though
So it is worth playing
azure tinsel
i'm more in it for the general atmosphere anyways
not like i play stalker for the story 
green gorge
It has the best maps of any stalker
