[steep pike]

Hey everyone!
@fiery cypress I'm playing Anomaly right now but i had no problem and surprisingly very few bugs.Have you installed all the latest patches?They have to be installed at the same order as they have been released i think.

[fiery cypress]

Thanks! Very helpful

[still vapor]

In the CoC mod, where do i get the psi helmet?

[graceful badge]

In the CoC mod, where do i get the psi helmet?
@still vapor You buy it (or loot it) from the scientist at Yantar

[neon socket]

Any Standalone that still runs on a 32 bits (x86) engine?

[ivory copper]

https://youtu.be/H3xCkkA5lp8?t=249 which hand/weapon models did he use here? I can't find these ones.. does anyone know?

[chilly narwhal]

Are there any pda replacers? I know Gunslinger has one built for that mod, but I wasn't sure if there was any others for COP/COC

[neon socket]

@ivory copper the weapon models and anims are from OWR 3

not sure where the arms

[stone ravine]

need help please with fov!!

[neon socket]

@stone ravine You need to change it?

I only know how to change it on CoP, and it requiere an addon

[neon socket]

bandit suits got some pretty cool tattoos in anomaly, killed this one dufe in heavy armor and I must say I respect his fashon choice 👌

also is it possible to have a price on your head? rookie I was rescuing for a quest mentioned it and I wanna know what to expect

I'm starting to think the "price on my head" is leading to me bumping into higher ranked bandits actually, met 2 in a row, both on their own, both in high tier suits

did someone order a hit on me? cuz that just makes the targets come to me, so I dont really mind

should probably mention I have about 100 bandit patches in my inventory

so no idea why they wouldnt like me

[ivory copper]

So I installed OWR3 and everything looks great except scopes look messed up (kinda shrinked) when zoomed in. What text file values do I need to change?

cuz i found something that has to do with scope resolution or whatever

not sure which one i should alter

[neon socket]

@ivory copper send a screenshot in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[neon socket]

Do you guys recommend Narodnaya Solyanka over Last day, Or maybe give me a recommendation (I can't run mods like Anomaly or Dead Air or anything that brings any major engine update, Because a waffle maker rusn better than my pc. Also My OS Is 32 bits so it will only support x86 Engines)

[neon socket]

NS and last day are very different mods

i wouldnt suggest last day for a potato because its a misery mod and misery mods run like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanus

Well, Last day Is basically a mod of a mod of a mod of CoP

yes

a com fork

it sucks

NS is the original soup mod

And I heard NS Is the most smooth mod for SoC

So I'll be just installing it

[chilly narwhal]

I remember a time when NS did not run smooth at all lmfao.. now that I got a computer that can actually deal with the soup, I should get it.

[neon socket]

My PC can varely hold Vanilla CoP, Majority of the time doesn't goes up from 50fps at Minimum settings at DX8

And If I switch to DX9 It literally goes down to 8 fps

[chilly narwhal]

Reminds me when Shadow of chernobyl first came out. I forced my potato to run it and got a whopping 1 to 10 fps, maybe. I spent hours trying to leave Cordon, but was hooked lmao. Once I got an upgrade that could play it at 20fps on the lowest settings I beat the game like four times and forced it to run ClearSky lmfao. Once I got an actual computer that could run it perfectly fine. I was freaked out because of how FAST everything was.

I know your struggle, friend.

[neon socket]

anomaly has some pretty weird price choices

a girlled snorks hand is 3k roubles from butcher

thats 150 calories

grilled chimera is 2k

930 calories

ok then

Butcher is a weird fellow

great prices on buckshot and mutant parts tho

economy and progression in amomawy is really bad

also remember those stationary explosives and landmines you can set up?

turns out they are AMAZING against pseudogiants

also chimeras in a pinch

[marsh jackal]

Do you carry a shotgun?

[neon socket]

yeah, I use the Vepr-12

also another thing that makes anomaly nigh unplayable is that in the description for the quest "reclaim duty territory" the description mentions reporting back to General Petrenko

which in reality

he is Colonel Petrenko

literally unplayable

[neon socket]

ok, in relation what I posted above is there any way to remove an active quest using some sorta command or something, "reclaim duty territory" isnt spawning any one target for me to kill so the marker is just sitting in the corner of the base, checked with Petrenko and theres no option to cancel the quest, thoughts?

[marsh jackal]

Are you sure you killed the right guys? Never had that happen with me.

Debug menu may have something.

[neon socket]

there was nobody there

[novel briar]

question

would revalidating the game cache remove misery

[frank flame]

If you're talking about steam, it might break something, since it often tries to replace files it detects as damaged

It's not a good idea to do that if your mod wasn't downloaded from the steam workshop

[half gull]

I've recently reinstalled Call of Chernobyl 1.4.22. And so far I've installed

Increased Weapon Damage
Arsenal Overhaul 3.1
DoctorX Dynamic Faction Relations
DoctorX Questlines
Warfare
Outfits Addon

Any other mods I should use? Or if you know, will I encounter any compatibility issues with these mods?

[novel briar]

how do i uh

get misery off then

uninstall and reinstall? @frank flame ?

[frank flame]

I would do that, yes

[neon socket]

so is anyone down to explain to me how the assassination system works in anomaly or why I apparently have a hit on me?

[neon socket]

also noticed I got max relations with duty, 3000 and about 2500 with the free stalkers

so getting that might be the reason why, I just did some googling and aparently that happened in call of chernobyl

[frank flame]

@neon socket You get a bounty put on you by enemy factions once you have enough reputation

They send an Alpha Squad after you, which is basically a few guys with really good gear that spawn in whatever map you are in and try to make their way towards you

Once you turn said Alpha Squad into a thin red paste, they won't send another one for a while

You can run away, but they can and will follow you across the zone

[half gull]

How's it work in call of chernobyl ?

[frank flame]

No clue, I've hardly played CoC

[neon socket]

@half gull alpha squads aren't in coc

[frank flame]

Thank you Daizen 👍

[half gull]

@neon socket Thank you brother. Any idea if there's mods that have this ?

[neon socket]

no idea

[half gull]

Okay thank you 🙂

[neon socket]

cheers

👌

[warm ruin]

SGM also has Alpha squads.

With their frequent spawns.. they can be quite an annoyance.

[frank flame]

Do they also spawn in your face in SGM?

Anomaly has issues with them spawning too close and disappearing if you load the game

[warm ruin]

Yup. They do.

Well, they have a chance to, that is.

And if you want their loot, you gotta act quickly. Because if you don't, their bodies will just despawn, since SGM's despawn rate is set way too high.

[frank flame]

Lmao

The ninjas come to retrieve their fallen brethren

[neon socket]

Road to the North, very recommend.

Lots of weapons to shoot, none are peashooters tho.

Massive redesign in map placement.

New storylines (for some factions, not all)

Deboog Menu still exists.

More realistic spawning of enemies, no 'spawning behind your back 2 meters away' nonsense.

Pretty much just like the original, but changed mostly through gameplay.

[trail wing]

Hello, im looking someone English-speaking (native), to make a video (some kind of Reaction), how you play one Russian game (Stalker setting). Its a try to make Online Stalker, but with one unusual thing (more info PM).

[neon socket]

Isn't this some form of lowkey promotion?

[trail wing]

@neon socket no any links, just need to make a video

[neon socket]

@neon socket misery chinrge

[chilly narwhal]

So I can't remember. When you have a mod that changes something that another mod does. Does it entirely overwrite the file or in some cases does it just add what was supposed to be changed by the second mod and not touch anything else?

It's been a while since I was modding any of the games so I don't remember

[neon socket]

You mean like addons?

[chilly narwhal]

So I have 2 mods and lets say they both change Actor.ltx. One changes it in one way and another changes it differently. Do these two files overwrite one another or does the first mod make its change then the second mod adds whatever it was going to change to actor.ltx

or for it to do that, do I have to actually do it myself

[neon socket]

You would have to do it yourself.

[chilly narwhal]

Mh.. okay, thanks!

I recall I used to merge mods pretty easily, but I can't remember how to do that anymore lmfao

[scarlet hatch]

does anyone know which file to extract the anomaly sounds from for SHoC?

[graceful badge]

from for?

[stable fossil]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-online who played on this mod?

[neon socket]

this is dead

[shy wave]

can you add call of chernobyl addons to call of misery

[neon socket]

Don't expect it to be compatible

[lilac depot]

anyone know of any mods that adds more masks to CoP ?

masks/helmets

if not, in your opinion, which mask/helmet goes best with Sunrise suit ?

[hollow saddle]

it depends on the addon your trying to add to CoM, but the basic answer is yes in most cases

however, it would be better to swap over to Anomaly. Same stuff, more options in addons, more stuff in the base of it as well

[fossil lichen]

Any best mod for Shadow of Chernobyl...?

Anyone? :3

[hybrid pumice]

Goldsphere

Or Priboi Story

It depends what you want

Graphic/game improvement - Autumn Aurora 2, makes the game look beautiful, adds some nice weapons and makes the game way harder

Plot mods - Goldsphere (Золотой Шар), Priboi Story, Solyanka

Freeplay mods - Doom's Mod Merge

@fossil lichen

[orchid berry]

Vanilla for your first experience

[green gorge]

NLC 7

[warped cliff]

Hey, Jester's back

[dull mesa]

What are the best mods if I want a good story?

[warped cliff]

Imo, Spatial Anomaly

[crisp vine]

unleashed sidorovich fury

jk

[green gorge]

NLC 7 is by far the best written stalker but requires you to either be extremely patient+a real stalker veteran to understand its machine translation, or you have to understand Russian

[steep pike]

Imo, Spatial Anomaly
@warped cliff Great mod but this is for Call of Pripyat.

[warped cliff]

ah, you want something for Shoc...

hmm

nope, can't think about any other mod than Priboi or enlightened russian mods

[steep pike]

Lost Alpha is technicaly a SoC mod but it's standalone so i don't know if i should mention it.

[warped cliff]

He wanted something for a story

LA is essentialy ShoC

[steep pike]

Yeah good point but it strays further than the original

[warped cliff]

I'd recommend OGSR then

[steep pike]

Just came to mind a mod i tried to play but didn't work for some reason. It's called Lost World: Origin and it had decent rating. It's old and has not been updated lately. Maybe worth a try if he can make it run.

[green gorge]

OGSR for sure

[fossil lichen]

@hybrid pumice Thank you for suggestion!

[hybrid pumice]

Well, here you are

Np

[chilly narwhal]

In call of Chernobyl is there a way to turn off the "you dont need to sleep now" block so I can wait out some nights?

[neon socket]

check the gameplay tab in the game settings

[chilly narwhal]

So turning off sleep deprevation lets me sleep when I want to, even when I am not tired?

[neon socket]

maybe

try it

[orchid berry]

I know about Gunslinger, but what is this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LcrM0-BYto

A lot of scopes

It even has bipods

https://www.moddb.com/mods/shoker-weapon-mod

[frank flame]

Wait, functioning bipods?

[orchid berry]

Functioning bipods

You'll get locked to the ground

5:56

[frank flame]

And they actually help with the recoil?

[orchid berry]

Not sure

If they would, that would be pretty nice

[frank flame]

Dude, I would pay money to get proper bipods implemented into Anomaly

Even if you can't support them on windows or anything

It would make the LMGs and heavy snipers a lot less terrible

[orchid berry]

Definitely

https://youtu.be/0nq8vX7tYfY?t=229

It seems to work

I doubt he's compensating with his mouse

Heh, this is from 2017

Man, you can even see the empty shells and the strip being ejected

https://gyazo.com/cf93047efb43282057e3ac3056d1f334

[fossil lichen]

I've finished CoP and i love it so much. I feel like i want to play it again with mod. But my computer is purely medium... Can anyone recommend any mod with no-visual revamp, please..?

[green gorge]

gunslinger

[upbeat osprey]

You can try Dead Air, it's very modified but runs great

[green gorge]

That's not "playing CoP again" though, it's playing something else entirely

[upbeat osprey]

Oh right, overlooked that part. Yeah I'd do Gunslinger or Shoker

Not sure how much impact Shoker has on performance

[green gorge]

shoker 3 is vaporware

[upbeat osprey]

Yeah I meant 2.1

[green gorge]

nah that one sucks

[upbeat osprey]

by today's standards, maybe

[fossil lichen]

Thank you! :D

[neon socket]

stcop 3.3 is the best current weapons mod

since gunslinger isn't finished

[warped cliff]

And shoker won't release

[green gorge]

I prefer chokeher weapon mod

[frank flame]

[neon socket]

@green gorge where have you been in your absence

[green gorge]

Wuhan

[frank flame]

You were the one running the animal trade centre innit?

[green gorge]

[neon socket]

have you been doing much of anything stalker related after finishing NLC 7

[hoary frigate]

Any mod to increase the grass draw distance that works with OWR3?

[neon socket]

atmosfear 3 +an4 might help

absolute nature 4 is an4

@hoary frigate

[hoary frigate]

Tried it, grass render was still like vanilla

Also save got corrupted by it somehow so I just give up

[neon socket]

aight lads I need a hand here, I took the dooty mission to go help out clear sky, the dude sent me to the agroprom underground to get some documents he one guy aparently left there

problem is

there is no indication on WHERE within the agroprom underground the docs are hidden

the map is fixated somewhere on the above ground map, which is the exact spot where it shows that I am located once I enter the underground

so essentially what im saying, the map is screwed

like really screwed

and the agroprom underground aint exactly that large, but this entails I'd have to go through each and every single possible pipe, box and dead man's stash to find those documents

anyone who's done the mission know where that might be? or hell anyone whos worked on the mod

uh, did I mention this is anomaly

@neon socket have you played the main games yet? its most likely in strelok's stash

[neon socket]

Yes, all 3 are standalone

[neon socket]

I did check out stelok's hideout, guess I'll look it over again

[full cedar]

Privyet comrades

I need help with Gunslinger Beta

newest version

Is anyone free to help me?

[snow umbra]

@neon socket maybe you can help him?

[full cedar]

It's probably a basic thing

I'm new to Gunslinger

So

yeah

the only issue here might be the lack of my knowledge about the gunslinger mod

[snow umbra]

ik as much as you so i sadly cant help you out

[full cedar]

Bruh.

[neon socket]

@full cedar what do you need help with

[full cedar]

Nvm

I got help already

seems as tech malfunctions during blowouts 🤔

can i have 3rd person in gunslinger?

[neon socket]

yeah i think so

[full cedar]

Hey guys
I have a question about the Gauss Rifle in the gunslinger mod

[eager night]

Hey
So im planning on getting stuck into abit of modding for vanilla CoP and creating some of my own custom weapon and animations.
been looking online for all the resources and workflow tips ect, jst curious if anyone here with that kind of modding knowlage had any general tips/advice (had been following this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-two-k/tutorials/basic-of-importing-and-exporting-stalker-ogf-files-using-blender .
but had afew problems when running the CoP SDK (maybe this is an old SDK?)

[dusty night]

i need help with anomaly 1.4

[neon socket]

alright so I ended up checking out strelok's hideout once more to find the documents, still cannot quite find them, perhaps I am just blind and cant find the freaking stash but I aint finding anything, for now I suppose this is gonna remain one of the quests I forever cant finish unless someone knows the possible places where the doccuments spawn

[little flicker]

@neon socket first of all, if you want anomaly help, go to anomaly discord and ppl will help you in 5 microseconds

second, the documents are probably on the floor in streloks hideout

keep pressing the "use" button so you see names of objects on the floor and look around the hideout

[neon socket]

theres a anomaly discord, my cup runneth over god damn

[nocturne quartz]

Hi guys. Want to give S.T.A.L.K.E.R another go after years of abstinence.
Which graphical mods (and Gameplay patches) are recommended?

[neon socket]

@nocturne quartz I have a modpack that is OGSR 64 bit engine, original weapons renewal, some texture mods that improve visuals without effecting art style, and photorealistic zone

Do you want to see some screenshots of before and after?

[nocturne quartz]

Do you want to see some screenshots of before and after?
@neon socket Would be great if you got screenshots.

[narrow bone]

Hey guys i started playing OP 2.1, (Narodnaya Solyanka Cumulative Pack 2.1) And I enjoy it a lot.
But one thing kinda sucks and that is the half english translation the other half is still in russian.
So my question is is there a way to enter the db files of OP 2.1 because no conventionnel unpacker works

The only way I found is this one

"Not a simple unpacker here.
Naxac give a script code to open all *.db.

1 You need to install the game.
2 Create folders gamedata\scripts.
3 Create a file _gscript.scripts in gamedata\scripts.
4 Write the specific code
5 Launch the game and wait patiently...until game crash!Not a joke

I write here to remember how to do it:

http://france.epicstalker.com/viewtopic.php?p=428#p428

A very long process (71894 files 32.8Go) ."

I don't know if it works tho

[green gorge]

There are tools to unpack it

or maybe it even comes with it, I forget

it unpacks from the main menu, it's different

https://www.amk-team.ru/forum/topic/13904-kovyryaemsya-v-faylah-op-21/

this has all the resources

also OP2.2 is on the way with 64-bit

and your translation might be out of date

[hallow cedar]

is there like a torrent for CoC

[hybrid pumice]

Bruh
CoC can be downloaded for free from Moddb

[compact hedge]

i dont think he meant that by asking for a torrent

some mods, such as goldsphere and lost alpha, can be downloaded as torrents

which basically makes downloading faster and easier

for example anomaly has like 5 separate thing to install

and my firefox download speed is 300 kb/s so no thanks

i am actually installing goldsphere with bittorrent atm

i hope goldsphere is good

[hallow cedar]

so does anyone have a torrent for CoC

[snow umbra]

why do you need a torrent? its on moddb

[green gorge]

faster probably

[hallow cedar]

bruh on moddb its slow as hell

[green gorge]

yeah moddb caps download speeds

[compact hedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/5kh3u3/anyone_got_a_call_of_chernobyl_1412_full_release/

@hallow cedar

[neon socket]

Modb Likes to cap Downloads

Mine is capped at 1,1 mb/s

A torrent can let you download at full Speed basically

Atleast In my case I can download it at 6,6 mb/s which is good enough

[eager tendon]

I'm thinking about downloading Call of Chernobyl. Which version should I download: 1.4.12 (with patch) or 1.5? (I'm slightly worried that 1.5 will have less compatible mods and will be less stable)

[hybrid pumice]

1.4.22

Better stability, more addons

[eager tendon]

Alright, thanks pal

[green gorge]

CoC by stason174

[warped cliff]

The best CoC-based mod

Unfortunately it has Warfare installed

[green gorge]

It's no longer pre-packaged with it

on moddb

[warped cliff]

It isn't?

[hallow cedar]

i cant use companion move to point for some reason cus it crashes my game

on CoC with stcop, doctorx questlines and artefact expansion

[maiden hare]

So I've been rocking the Stalker Anomaly mod for quite a bit now, and I can't manage to get my hands on a moonlight for one of Hip's quests.

i remember them only showing up at night, after midnight and before sunrise, i think,

but I've looked through almost every anomaly area south of radar and can't find one

[neon socket]

SoC has an OGSR engine upgrade, cs at the moment has nothing reliable, but wait a bit, lvutner is working on something, and openxray works for cop but has issues

[neon socket]

How to download mods i have a rar version of shoc need help

[green gorge]

pirates don't get help

[eager night]

Anyone got any idea on how animations were added to things like medkits/rads and vodka ect (like within gunslinger mod) its not the animations themself im curious abt but more the configs/location of them when used/played..

[neon socket]

@green gorge it's hard to buy games when ur a 14 year old kid with parents who barely spend money on the things that are not necessary to survival. I would buy the game of i had money, but i don't. I don't have any financial resources and my parents believe everything is a virus. My computer costed $100, and i won't get any money for anything game related til I'm 16

It's no excuse for pirating tho

I probably don't deserve mods either way

They're just extras either way

[neon socket]

@neon socket https://youtu.be/afkN9H9aLow

[icy pagoda]

trojan detected when running gunslinger for call of pripyat, false positive?

[neon socket]

steam or gog?

[icy pagoda]

steam

[neon socket]

is it modded?

[icy pagoda]

yes

[neon socket]

what mods are you running

[icy pagoda]

just gunslinger beta atm

[neon socket]

yeah its a false positive

[icy pagoda]

aight ty friend

[neon socket]

its because it modifies DLLS and injects

and windows doesn't like that

[violet cave]

@neon socket there are different ways of doing it, you should try looking for a tutorial on google or smth, but the most common way of doing it is just dropping the gamedata folder that will come with the mod or addon in the root folder of your game. You can download this mods via moddb. Most of them come with installation tutorials in the description too

Also i'm not sure what do you mean by .rar version

[snow umbra]

dont need to be 16 to find a job, your only excuse would be corona atm, but other than that you can always find ways of getting cash

[hollow saddle]

@neon socket Consider this a verbal warning. Don't insult others.

[neon socket]

You're right, i apologize for my actions

[neon socket]

@snow umbra it's not as easy for me

Where i live there's not meant people hiring 13 year olds

Or ppl paying me to mow lawns, for to the fact that everyone lives in an apartment

I can't legally get a job

One would say to ask for an allowance, which my parents won't let me get

[snow umbra]

@neon socket what country

[neon socket]

The us

Nyc

[neon socket]

is there a freeplay mod for soc?

uhh yeah

doom's mod merge i think

[neon socket]

yes i played it

wait why cant i remember asking this stuff today

i think i saw another mod i think it's some freeplay 1.5 or something

i can't remember

[hybrid pumice]

Freeplay is old and buggy
Doom's Mod Merge is way more developed

[ebon tusk]

I tried modding SoC with New Arsenal 6.0,the english one that is on moddb,understood 0 of that thing

[green gorge]

yeah that's barely English, just a machine translation

[violet cave]

It is more than NLC7

[warped cliff]

@green gorge If I remember, Stason doesn't have warfare anymore. Is it now in just the basic download or is it somewhere else

[green gorge]

I believe it's part of the download, just not installed so it's in another included folder

[warped cliff]

ok

and now... 9 hours of download because of ModDB servers...

Also, don't you know any winter mods compatible with Stason @green gorge ?

[green gorge]

nope, I don't keep up to date with all the addons, for all I know there might be one

[warped cliff]

Which one

[neon socket]

@green gorge turns out stasons didnt actually have malware

he made a mod manager specifically for it

that was picked up with false positives

[green gorge]

I know it was the mod manager and I analyzed it (I'm a security engineer/researcher), it would be stupid to run that locally

basically you'd be opening up a bunch of connections to random russian websites for "downloading" but not even the obvious ones like yandex

really obscure untrustworthy crap

[neon socket]

Ohh okay then

yeah no nvm

definitely sus

[warped cliff]

@green gorge What did that AVX do, remind me again

[green gorge]

it's an instruction set that might run better on modern CPUs @warped cliff

[warped cliff]

Mhm

And the game still has warzone

[neon socket]

So, I tried today to restart a run through Anomaly once again, and now Anomaly wont even start.

I removed it and installed it again multiple times now, but it wont just start after the launcher. Any help why this happens?

I tied trying to google the issue, but not much came out of it

[violet cave]

Hm, do you have any logs report?

[neon socket]

There's non, quite literally as logs are empty

I tried to check em

[violet cave]

Hm, that's a bit weird ngl

So you can't get past the launcher?

Or does it crash when you try to load or start a saved game?

[neon socket]

Yeah, I click play the game in launcher and it just freezes completly

I waited for an hour for it to load just to see if anything happens, and it just stood stuck

[violet cave]

This may be a stupid question, but did you try to restart your pc?

[neon socket]

Yep, and i just tried to launch it again. Only thing I get if I press the screen is that it goes white and "X-ray engine 1.6 stopped responding"

It really is a mystery as a month or so ago it DID work

[violet cave]

Well it is quite odd yes, if it's a fresh installation with no addons it should work

Tried tweaking those options on the launcher?

[neon socket]

Yeah, tried to check the different boxes if anything does anything. Aaaaand nope, nothing happened
Still stuck in the screen after pressing launch

[violet cave]

Well if it worked before it's gotta be something you did

But it's hard to imagine what tbh

And if you reinstalled it maybe you installed it wrong, but it's not hard. Unpack all .zip files in one folder

I'm out of ideas, maybe someone else can help. Sorry mate, rip

[neon socket]

Ya, thanks for ya trying help, appreciating it.
Maybe something is out of order in the folder 🤔

[violet cave]

Well, the steps are simple. Download the 4 parts, last update (4) and hotfix 8. Unzip all parts, one by one to avoid any errors, in a separate folder. Then the update and the hotfix

If you did that it should be alright

[neon socket]

All steps accounted for in proper order, with yet another installation try and yet...

It stays stuck

Yeah, I am out of options now too

Gotta be awfully bad luck at this point

[violet cave]

Me too, try to ask in #🔨-technical

Well there is a last thing, maybe the antivirus

But it's a long shot

[proud sonnet]

Can someone tell me how i can make misery run on oxygen x-ray?

[green gorge]

dedication and hard work

[proud sonnet]

hahaha
nah like seriously

[subtle elbow]

it will likely destroy your PC

[green gorge]

and sanity

[proud sonnet]

@subtle elbow bring it on

@green gorge Yo, thanks for the STCoP 3.2.03 + Translation moddb page

Appreciate it

[green gorge]

no problemo

[frank flame]

Is there a 3.3 yet?

I heard something about it but nothing concrete, and if it exists, is it translated yet?

[green gorge]

I haven't kept up to date, Gunslinger made me pretty much forget about STCoP (and I've been paying less attention to the stalker mod scene this year)

[warm ruin]

Is there a 3.3 yet?
Yup. @frank flame

[frank flame]

Is it in English?

[warm ruin]

Nope.

[frank flame]

Rip that then

[warped cliff]

tbh, why do you need a translated version that much

you get what you see pretty much

[frank flame]

Because I want a translated version that much

[warm ruin]

You can pretty much merge 3.2's translation with 3.3.

[frank flame]

So what, just take the text files or whatever from 3.2 download and stick them onto 3.3?

And that will work and not cause crashes?

[warm ruin]

Probably will work.

Of course, you can do it all manually.

[frank flame]

Eh, I don't think I'd commit the time to it

Thanks anyways, but I'll stick with 3.2 for now then

[warped cliff]

Translation shouldn't lead to crashes

What does 3.3 bring in?

[frank flame]

Shouldn't does not equal won't

[warm ruin]

I think it only removes some weapons and adds better animations.

[frank flame]

Eh, I'm not worried about animations

Alright, thanks for the help mate

[warped cliff]

Ah, so it won't produce any crashes

[frank flame]

Appreciate it

[tame mesa]

Guys sup

[storm rose]

i love bbc

[violet cave]

nice, british broadcasting corporation is my fav too

[gloomy hemlock]

Hello, Im having a problem with Stalker SOC where the cut scenes are in russian and I want to change it back to english
The mods I am using are ZRP and Autumn Aurora

[subtle elbow]

do anyone knows how to install COC?

i have no idea how to

[gloomy hemlock]

oh nvm i figured it out

[hybrid pumice]

do anyone knows how to install COC?
@subtle elbow Normally. You download files from moddb or whatever (I recommend 1.4.22 version, so you need do get 1.4.12 version and two patches and 🎉

It's a standalone

However remember to install some addon stuff

STCoP for guns + GNOMUS Sights for open scopes + Sound Overhaul, Outfit Addon for armours, DoctorX Dynamic Anomalies, TXR Dynamic Faction Relations and some graphics mod, for example Stalker 2k (Tiny Little version if you have not-so-good computer) or Autumnal Winds.

[orchid berry]

@neon socket
Do you know of any cut gravitational anomalies that have been added into OLR and what their names are?

[native ore]

Hey, I just installed this guy's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajT982VmQvk&t=0s modpack, it works up until I try to modify a weapon, which is when the game decides I've had enough. Prominent mods are gunslinger, atmosfear and dynamic hud

[orchid berry]

@neon socket
Do you know of any cut gravitational anomalies that have been added into OLR and what their names are?

[neon socket]

fug sorry

let me look around a bit

[orchid berry]

Thank you

[subtle elbow]

anyone knows how to use the helmet lantern in gunslinger?

it's impossible to fight indoors because it's too goddam dark

and all i can use indoors is a flashlight and a pistol

[neon socket]

@orchid berry it looks like the main gravitational anomalies that came back that are named are the mosquito baldness and dent, which are very similar to the springboard and whirligig

there's a lot of gravitational anomalies added back without names though

[orchid berry]

So it is the Mosquito Baldness

What a weird name

I thought there'd be some better translated name, but I suppose it'll do

Thank you

[grand hound]

@subtle elbow I think It requires a helmet which looks like it Had Flashlight like Exoskeleton does, It has a flashlight. With other suits and helmets I don't know.

[grand hound]

@snow umbra Okay so basically.

Oh wait nvm

[subtle elbow]

@grand hound I'm using an military helmet and an upgraded sunrise suit

[grand hound]

Ah, I don't really know which helmets could have a headlamp

[subtle elbow]

And for some weird reason degytarev uses it in cutscenes but when I'm controlling him again

It's unavailable

[grand hound]

The mod made the game harder. And I don't really know which helmets have headlamp btw a tip "Farm artifacts, Get a exoskeleton and a good weapon lol."

[subtle elbow]

People says that they find it awesome

But i find it stupid

Completey stupid

I can't just fight 5 dude with exoskeletons indoors with just a pistol

Wait

I know the location of a helmet with nightvision

[sick slate]

Does OGSR has its own unique story or just vanilla story?

[subtle elbow]

Idk

Never heard of this mod

[green gorge]

It expands SoC's story once you get the Radar quest, but more importantly it has many times more side quests, and those side quests are actually good unlike most mods since they are not just quick little templated fetch quests (one even spans the length of most of the game)

so ultimately it has several times more content, and more story/quest content than most mods

[junior wagon]

Quick question. Does the Lost to the zone mod and the AO patch for said mod conflict with the warfighter combat mod? I tried looking it up but found nothing.

[neon socket]

No idea; either assume its not compatible or make a backup of your install and try it

[junior wagon]

Aight. Thanks.

[steep acorn]

Have any of you guys tried prosectors mod ?

I remember playing it for a bit and the ai was really cool

[hybrid pumice]

Hmmm
Not really
Trilogy by Zaurus is one of better mod series I've played

[grand hound]

Guys so I got a problem. I want to install a mod by the name of Call Of Monlith Don't know how to really get it to work.

[candid sleet]

Be careful about it

Maybe there's a virus in there

[grand hound]

I mean I don't want to install it I can't get it to work do I put it in bin.? Or dedicated

Or how do i do it.

Works with version S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl 1.0004!

Copy the gamedata folder to the Stalker directory. If you have not installed any mods before - change the line in the fsgame.ltx file:

$ game_data $ = false | true | $ $ Fs_root |
on:
$ game_data $ = true | true | $ $ Fs_root | U know how to do it.?

[violet cave]

doesn't the mod come with a readme file? paste the installation part here if you can

[grand hound]

It does.

But there's nothing how to do it.

[violet cave]

i see, so this is goes over SoC directory and isn't a standalone?

ah nvm, i see your problem

sure, go to SoC folder and open fsgame.ltx file

[grand hound]

I can't I changed it to zip something lemme try to open it.

[violet cave]

right click and open with

[grand hound]

with zip something.?

[violet cave]

no, the notes reader

forgot english name

[candid sleet]

Notepad?

[violet cave]

yeh

[grand hound]

It's notatnik for me in Polish.

Found it!

[violet cave]

once there search for this
$ game_data $ = false | true | $ $ Fs_root |

and change 'false' for 'true'

so it will say
$ game_data $ = true | true | $ $ Fs_root |

[grand hound]

I sent u a screeni

screenie check it.

And after that I put the folder in bin or dedicated.?

[violet cave]

what is the name of the folder?

[steep pike]

Lost Alpha has new update https://www.moddb.com/mods/lost-alpha/news/new-version-of-la-dc-extended maybe worth a look.

[green gorge]

the really good update will be the Lost Aloha update for it

[subtle elbow]

holy jesus

what is that

what the hell is that

[grand hound]

I have a problem with Autumn aurora. If anyone could help me DM Ill send a screen of the thingie.

[dapper solstice]

Im new to modding stalker and ive been trying to install Autumn Aurora 2.1 for the past 2 hours and ive been without luck. no searches or anything has helped either. if anyone has free time i could use some help

nvm it decided to start working

[grand hound]

I have a problem with Autumn Aurora 2.1 when I start it up I get a message saying The BT_MakeSnapshot entry point was not found in the BugTrap.dll library.

[grand hound]

@neon socket Hey, I got a problem that I said above. If you could help me ping me back.

[neon socket]

What is the problem

Looks like AA is bugging out again

Hmm I'm actually really confused how that error is even popping up

like

your bin folder must be completely messed up

You'd only probably have more luck doing a complete wipe and reinstalling again, but at that point you should just go play a different mod like NLC 7

[green gorge]

[neon socket]

Hang on jester the translation is almost done ||reaching the 25% mark ||

[green gorge]

you can't fool me

[neon socket]

@grand hound sorry for the late reply, I was at work. What's your issue?

[grand hound]

Oh well..My game has installed autumn aurora and well when I turn it on, It gets a error "Procedure file not found BT_MakeSnapshot in BugTrap,dll library

[neon socket]

Oh man I only know Eruiq could help with that golden ball stuff

[storm kraken]

I'll have to ask them then one day

[neon socket]

@grand hound what options did you select during the install process?

[neon socket]

If anyone can help me out with a patched SDK that works with COC i'd be a happi boi

[storm kraken]

Who would I @ to talk about Golden Ball again?

I don't see the name Eruiq on the list

[orchid berry]

@warm ruin

[warm ruin]

Yes-yes?

[vale hemlock]

I need help with installing mods

[neon socket]

what do you need help with @vale hemlock

[vale hemlock]

Installing a mod I guess

[neon socket]

what mod

for what game

[vale hemlock]

CoP

[neon socket]

What mod are you doing

[vale hemlock]

Arsenal overhaul 3.1, atmosfear 3 and absolute nature 4

[neon socket]

Don't bother with arsenal overhaul btw

use stcop 3.2

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/stcop-weapon-pack-32-translation

its higher quality and has more features

install in this order

1. atmosfear 3
2. absolute nature
3. stcop

atmosfear and absolute natrue has installers i believe

[vale hemlock]

Right

[neon socket]

so just follow that, and then paste the files from stcop into the game

[vale hemlock]

What folder?

[neon socket]

root folder

there should just be a gamedata and a bin folder, just drop them in to the root folder where everything is

[vale hemlock]

dedicated?

[neon socket]

replace everything when asked

what do you mean dedicated?

[vale hemlock]

the dedicated forlder

[neon socket]

yeah the main folder

root

[vale hemlock]

So in other words, just copy paste the mods to bin?

[neon socket]

no

copy paste stcop into the main folder

but before doing that, use the installers for af3 and an4

[vale hemlock]

Which one? The dedicated folder?

[neon socket]

the main folder of the game

the one just called "Stalker call of pripyat"

[vale hemlock]

Oh

Copy everything from the data right?

[neon socket]

copy the gamedata and bin folders yes

DO NOT copy their contents into the folder

[vale hemlock]

Ah

[neon socket]

just the actual folders

[vale hemlock]

Same goes with the rest of the mods?

[neon socket]

follow the installers from the first two mods, stcop is the only one that requires copy pasting

[vale hemlock]

Well then...

[storm kraken]

@warm ruin I need some help with Golden Ball/ Zolotoy Shar and you're apparently the one to ask

I'm currently doing the quests in Outskirts before heading into the Garbage and I've gotten to a certain point in the mission at the fire station that ruses you with about 40 useless rifles, got into there and eventually found the portal on top of the building that leads you to the spot of the fire chiefs suicide, there's apparently supposed to be a key that leads to a PDA but all I've found is his Makarov

[glass wadi]

Is there any good multiplayer mods for shadow of chernobyl?

[green gorge]

no

[serene frost]

Anyone here played CoC Hardcore mod? Are half the icons of guns and armor invisible for you?

[dapper solstice]

so im only using one mod for stalker SOC cuz i wanna play through the storyline first. Are there any really good mods i should consider such as weapon overhauls or graphics? right now im only running Autumn aurora 2.1.

or any mods for Pripyat or clear skies i intend on playing through those too afterwords

[orchid berry]

Vanilla only

[hybrid pumice]

Vanilla first
Autumn Aurora 2 is a nice ShoC mod not changing the storyline

But VANILLA FIRST

[dapper solstice]

vAnIlLa FiRsT im just asking for texture mods man

[snow umbra]

Get bullied Crimson

[neon socket]

@dapper solstice try OWR 3 with absolute nature and absolute structures and photorealistic zone

And zone reclaimagion project

Though I have a merge of that somewhere

Let me get it for you

[dapper solstice]

@neon socket thank you man, youre great!

[neon socket]

Now question

Are you brain dead and can't install mods or have you used a PC before

[dapper solstice]

i have downloaded mods before yeah, but im new to stalker mods so a quick one two would be nice

all i remember is the gamedata file but some mods dont have one of those so it gets confusing

[neon socket]

I have two versions of this modpack

one with ZRP (bugfix) or one with OGSR engine (updated engine to be 64 bit and has modern options like fov, msaa, dx11)

the OGSR engine one requires more setup but yields more visuals and performance gains overall

the zrp one is eaiser to setup but doesnt get any performance or extra updated engine stuff

[dapper solstice]

the OGSR version would be great, ive crashed 12 times in the area im in so maybe itd help out

[neon socket]

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hh6YZEEttT1RsiDWVeIgcAPxAMpTDTVv

Follow the install instructions in the readme

[dapper solstice]

kk

[neon socket]

dm me if you need any help

[dapper solstice]

you should probably expect one soon, if not ive probably given up

[orchid berry]

Nothing wrong with the graphics and textures

[neon socket]

I bet OLR has gotten a sudden update and the repack needs to be translated again))

OLR fix 3000 billion when

[inner creek]

so, im unfamiliar with stalker modding and was wondering if i needed to own all the games for mods like anomaly

[snow umbra]

I believe anomaly is standalone

Depending on the mod you might need the game

[green gorge]

Amomawy and many (better) mods are standalone

[inner creek]

cool

i only have pripyat and wanted to try some different ways of playing with mods after i finished it

[green gorge]

OGSR English Edition is standalone and a great first mod

[warped cliff]

And it's not bad

Unlike Anomaly

[hybrid pumice]

I recommend starting you adventure with stalker from playing VANILLA FIRST
Later some addon mods, AO, STCoP Gunslinger, Autumn Aurora
Later some light mods like CoC
Later some more complicated, Dead Air, Misery + plot mods - Goldsphere, Contract for a good life, Priboi story, Spatial Anomaly, Spectrum

And later weird ones
Reborn, Solyanka

[green gorge]

[neon socket]

anomaly good

dead air best

[green gorge]

both bad

[neon socket]

your mom

anyways does anyone work with maya to help me with plugins

[vivid sleet]

are there any mods that add more variation to NPCs?

without changing the plot of the game

need it for STALKER CoP

i can't find any mods like that

[violet cave]

as far as i know, there isn't

there are mods that change skins, but not much more

[vivid sleet]

new skins

good enough

[violet cave]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl-hd-models-addon

try one of the 2 builds in there

[tough stirrup]

hey guys just about to start playing for the first time, got COC dowloading atm, should go straight into COC or play vanilla first? also what add-on's should i get for COC?

[orchid berry]

Vanilla first

[hybrid pumice]

Vanilla ALWAYS first

It's not VTMB

))))

[green gorge]

use Gunslinger

though I'm guessing you're starting with CoP either way

and not SoC

which is bad

also CoC is actually one of the weaker stalker mods

[neon socket]

i wouldn't use gunslinger until its finished

[green gorge]

or use STCoP 3.2

[violet cave]

and that is a great advice, ladies and gentlemen

[neon socket]

use stcop 3.2 since its translated

3.3 doesn;t have a translation yet

[green gorge]

I meant 3.2

[violet cave]

i ended up feeling kinda empty after playing gunslinger with few guns

i think it's around 80 now

[neon socket]

@green gorge how come you always reccomend people gunslinger on a first playthrough when half of the arsenal isn't even finished?

[green gorge]

the half that's there is so good

[hybrid pumice]

I don't recommend using STCoP in first playtrough

1. Vanilla first
2. If you really want, use OWR - better textures etc but unchanged stats

[green gorge]

why play vanilla first when you can instead play simply a better version of the same game

[violet cave]

because vanilla is the way it was meant to be played

but you'll probably want to play vanilla after playing with mods anyway, and it doesn't really make sense to play a modded game instead of the vanilla version first

[hybrid pumice]

Playing vanilla first will allow you to enjoy mods more

Also "being better" is very subjective

[green gorge]

it doesn't really make sense to play a modded game instead of the vanilla version first

It makes the most sense considering mods exist that are universal improvements, so playing a game at its best is all that makes sense

whereas your argument for playing vanilla first is purely arbitrary

playing vanilla first to enjoy mods more is real, although most people don't care about that, they just want to play a game at its best and enjoy that, in which case playing with mods that improve the base game again makes the most sense

[hybrid pumice]

It makes the most sense considering mods exist that are universal improvements, so playing a game at its best is all that makes sense

Only few mods are "universal improvements"
Also that's pretty imprecise saying

[green gorge]

Certain graphics mods and weapon mods

and OGSR engine for SoC

[violet cave]

you are not playing a game at it's best if it's modded though, weapons and stats are different, in the case of gunslinger or stcop

[green gorge]

Default weapon stats are nonsensical

I don't believe anyone would honestly prefer them that way

not to mention the lack of weapons in the first place

no 7.62x39 lol

[violet cave]

i'm not gonna say i do, but you'd have to play the vanilla game to know you don't like them

[green gorge]

yeah which is pointless, might as well go for the better looking one with much more weapon variety and less nonsensical weapon stats

[violet cave]

[hybrid pumice]

[neon socket]

Always play modded first

Stcop is just a 100% upgrade from vanilla, and that's just a fact

And cop has absolutely awful art and weather direction, which is why at the very least you should use atmosfeat

[sudden reef]

how do I download anomaly?

[neon socket]

you download it

[sudden reef]

ah thank you

[neon socket]

you go on moddb and press the download button

[sudden reef]

bruh

[frank flame]

There is a repack of it with the updates

Lemme see if I can dig it up for you

[hybrid pumice]

Stcop is just a 100% upgrade from vanilla, and that's just a fact

I wouldn't call it an upgrade
Because it adds weapons and changes stats

[fast rock]

I've posted a screenshot in #📸┃screens_and_videos and I could use some help figuring out all the mods in the screenshot, anyone up to help?

[sudden reef]

anyone know why my flashlight and pda wont work in anomaly?

[green gorge]

batteries

[sudden reef]

it says 83% power @green gorge

[green gorge]

no idea then

[sudden reef]

it's equipped too bruuuh

[sudden reef]

oy I figured it out

it's bound to O for some reason even though I bound it to MOUSE5

[steep pike]

The headlamp is bound to O i think.For the other flashlight you need a free hand to equip it.

[violet cave]

yeah, works like a detector

geiger counters and rf receivers, work this way too

[lapis forge]

Hey guys I have a problem I need help with real quick.. I downloaded OWR3 and only that.. Installed the mod but every time I click new game the game just closes when it's done loading.. No errors, just closes.. The game is set to DX10 and the gamedata is set to true true.. Any idea on what this could be? It worked fine a few months back but refuses to load now

[neon socket]

which game?

[violet cave]

if it's SoC you should try setting the true|true thing back to false|true, it seems to help most people

only the one you changed ofc

[sudden reef]

you guys know where the car park is in cordon?

[violet cave]

the car park is that little place to the right just before the old train wreck, wolf's first quest is related to that place, so i guess you've been there already

[neon socket]

I like how some of the dialogue in SoC for "can you tell me something interesting" still references a factory in the cordon

i guess they never updated the dialogue from the builds

[lapis forge]

The mod in question is for CoP

[neon socket]

So I'm curious as to how equipment progression works in Anomlay

Anomaly *

I'm trying to find a Veles and my reputation with ecologists is pretty high

Also, I'm confused as to where to find a full empty

[hybrid pumice]

You know that mods completely destroyed balance and progression?

[neon socket]

Nope, Balance is a meme anyways

[green gorge]

"Balance is a meme" - and not one second of thought was put into this statement

[frank flame]

Veles in Anomaly can be found by maxing out reputation with ecologists or murdering enough monolithians until you get lucky

Full Empty is an artifact and also an extremely rare one at that, but it is usually found in gravitational anomalies

If you get a Veles and some other stuff, you can craft a Svarog detector, which is the best detector in the game

[still iris]

do any of you guys know of a working download for SWTC for Clear Sky?

[neon socket]

Not one second of thought

Ive thought long and hard about that statement

Balance is objectively a meme

[grim echo]

New Gunslinger Beta is out babyyy

[dawn hound]

I subscribed to Patreon and wanted to download the new COP re-do or graphics upgrade. Can someone tell me the discord channel offhand?

[green gorge]

you know you can get those mods for free from the actual creators instead of paying a reuploader for them

[snow umbra]

Yeah Daizen told him

[still iris]

@hybrid pumice balance and progression in stalker?

[green gorge]

^ perfected only by NLC 7

[sturdy tinsel]

hey, having a problem with Dynamic Hud

it's just not working at all, anyone had the same problem?

[hybrid pumice]

@hybrid pumice balance and progression in stalker?

In vanilla - half-progressive gun system: theoretically you can finish the game with Makarov, some guns are better than other but only in some aspects, suits: balance between exoskeleton and bulat suit - or you have to choose protection, or mobility, there is no 200 suits for each category and no weird decisions like bandits in exoskeletons with PKMs

[abstract dust]

Yeah... For example i annihilated about all the Monolith's guys by using MP5 (or something else like that, i don't remember) because i have had lots of needed ammo dor free (somewhere in the CoC). And... what is an exoskeleton or any else high-lvl suits? I know more about save-load system ))

[hybrid pumice]

Saying you're using CoC explains nothing because

1. It's a mod
2. People use addons

In ShoC and CS there was a balance between exoskeleton and Bulat or any lighter suits
You've had to choose between mobility and protection

Imo mobility always wins

[neon socket]

Does someone know a good weapon pack for Clear Sky , like OWR for shadow of chernobyl ? I tested AO and don't like it. It changes a lot of things and add new weapon and too much things. I want better visuals for vanilla weapons.

[green gorge]

STCS 2.6.3 Redux

[neon socket]

Bulat had the best bullet protection in CS tho

Exos really were only useful for the carry weight and even then you couldnt sprint

Except freedom exo

So really Bulat is like the top choice for firefights

And also CoC uses the vanilla CoP stats

Unless it has outfit mods then idk

[hybrid pumice]

Most of people (99,9%) play CoC with addons, so it's obvious

[eager tendon]

Any reccomendations for Anomaly?

[hybrid pumice]

[snow umbra]

Most here would probably tell you to uninstall tbh

[still iris]

in terms of addons?

[hybrid pumice]

Solarint has nice pack of addons

Soundscape Overhaul etc

[still iris]

kinda hard to say I think it's best to play, find what's annoying to you and then check if there's an addon for that

[hybrid pumice]

There is a mag addon, damage rework

I don't play Anomaly

[still iris]

HD models, stuff like that

[hybrid pumice]

HD Models are automatically in the game

[still iris]

no no I mean the other HD models

[neon socket]

Mag addon is okay

Not amazing but adds a layer of complexity

Haven't encountered any bugs either

[sudden wasp]

Hello fellow stalkers, I played through CoP vanilla and Autumn Aurora 2.1 and AA was absolutely amazing but the game crashes in the end. Now I am playing through Clear Sky with the Armory mod that includes the SRP mod and I am enjoying it so far, however there are quite a few bugs... Is Arsenal Overhaul the best mod for CS or is there a better mod out there? I am looking for an experience with lots of guns lol. Thank you.

[neon socket]

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-clear-sky/downloads/stcs-263-redux @sudden wasp

use this

much better than AO

[sudden wasp]

That looks absolutely awesome, thank you so much!

[hybrid pumice]

Hello fellow stalkers, I played through CoP vanilla and Autumn Aurora 2.1 and AA was absolutely amazing but the game crashes in the end.

You can't really use the word "mod" when you're talking about game improvements and some additions. So no, it's not the best mod.

[frank flame]

He can perfectly use the word mod if it's changing something in the game, especially moreso if it adds items and whatnot

Mod is just a shortened version of the word "modification", which is any change in the game

[hybrid pumice]

Yes, however you can't compare small addon such as Arsenal Overhaul with some freeplay mod/map pack like CoC and this can't be compared with some story mod, such as Contract for a Good Life, that has animated and voiced cutscenes

[frank flame]

Just because some mods are bigger in scope and what they do does not mean some mods are suddenly not mods

Some mods are standalone, some mods are overhauls, some mods are addons, but they're all mods

[hybrid pumice]

Yes
But you can't say that STCoP is better than Goldsphere
Because they do completely different things

[frank flame]

I never said any mod was better than another though

You're having a conversation with yourself there

My point is that they're all mods, and should all be called mods

[hollow saddle]

Killhakan is 100% correct. All modifications to the game are considered mods as an overall.

furthermore, you can most certainly claim one mod to be better then another, even if they have different scopes or styles in what they do. However, that is always opinion and subjective, since theres really no scale of what is actually better then another.

(unless you got a bunch of votes to unanimously say one mod was better then another, but you would likely still get people saying they didn't agree :P)

[hybrid pumice]

However I didn't say that some addon isn't a mod, I said that it's better to call mod what it is because it's just confusing

Also continuing this argument has no sense because we have the same point

[frank flame]

You can't really use the word "mod" when you're talking about game improvements and some additions. So no, it's not the best mod.
@hybrid pumice You literally said not to call them mods

I am telling you that they are mods and should be called mods

[hybrid pumice]

Because as "mods" you usually mean overhauls and story mods

[frank flame]

No, you mean modifications to the game

[hollow saddle]

not sure what you mean by continuing the argument, I ended it :P

[hybrid pumice]

Amen

[summer jungle]

i just uninstalled dead air

and the uninstaller removed all of my taskbar shortcuts

havent i suffered enough, dead air

[sudden wasp]

I called it a mod because its a mod.

[neon socket]

fellas how do i install reshade for anomaly

i want to use the Zone reshade but for whatever reason when i set it to the launcher then the interface just doesnt appear

and if i set it to one of the shortcuts then the reshade i want just doesn't appear at all

[neon socket]

nvm got it working

[eager tendon]

Is Anomaly supposed to seem similar to CoC?
Clear Sky literaly has the same characters in both mods

[neon socket]

anomaly is based on CoC

its a CoC fork

[eager tendon]

Ah understandable

[hybrid pumice]

CoC based mods: Anomaly, Dead Air, Call of Misery, Last Day

It's all the same but with slightly different graphics, features and stability

[summer jungle]

well then which of them am i supposed to play wtf

[green gorge]

None

[still iris]

play whatever you like, all of those are really far from the vanilla stalker feel though

[green gorge]

They also mostly revolve around just faction warfare since the quest content is minimal and weak

[violet cave]

well then which of them am i supposed to play wtf
all of them

[hybrid pumice]

Story mods

[still iris]

out of the CoC based mods?

I'd say Anomaly

[hybrid pumice]

I'd say CoC or Dead air

But still, no difference really

[warped cliff]

Dead Air, RttN or Stason174's

[still iris]

no difference between CoC and Dead Air?

lol

[hybrid pumice]

All freeplay mods are very similar because they're based on CoC
Also check Hybrid

[green gorge]

All weak

[still iris]

I'd say CoC or Dead air
did you mean CoM here?

[hybrid pumice]

Or Hybrid
Also Dead Air is way prettier
I love Misery artstyle tho

[still iris]

I hate it honestly, I dislike the "everything's dead" aesthetic

[hybrid pumice]

And personally I like it
But it depends

Zone ain't bees and flowers

[snow umbra]

That and you're also dead inside

So you're used to it

[hybrid pumice]

True

[summer jungle]

um ive already asked for story mods a few days ago but im ashamed to admit i forgot what you guys said lmao

i asked if you can recommend any good mods that also add a new storyline instead of just gameplay mechanics
i tried misery for example, but sadly found out that its literally just replaying CoP again, which i dont want to

right now, im about to install goldsphere, because some reddit forum said its good, any opinion on that?

[violet cave]

for CoP there are lots, one of my personal favourites is Contract for a Good Life

[summer jungle]

ill give it a try

[violet cave]

ah yes, Goldsphere is one of the best

[summer jungle]

do you man contract for a badl life???

[violet cave]

Goldsphere is a machine translation but you can get through it

[summer jungle]

yeah

when i look up contract for a good life i get no results

just the bad life addon

[violet cave]

ah i think in moddb is called for a bad life, not sure

[summer jungle]

the description says its an addon for good life tho

so wheres the actual mod

[violet cave]

this is the one im talking about

https://ap-pro.ru/stuff/zov_pripjati/kontrakt_na_khoroshuju_zhizn/3-1-0-310

[summer jungle]

is it translated?

[violet cave]

don't think so, i've never found a translation

you can use it to practice russian

[summer jungle]

very funny

ill just learn an entirely new language and alphabet because i want to play stalker

[violet cave]

alright then, play the addon

for a bad life

[summer jungle]

is it the same mod but translated? or does it add anything new

[violet cave]

it's like a new story, inside the original story

in english

[summer jungle]

alright ill try it

[green gorge]

Goldsphere should be played only with the full translation once it's out

Try Vector of Alienation if you haven't played it

[summer jungle]

why cant i post images

[violet cave]

post them in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[summer jungle]

i posted

i started the game

and then this thing appeared in the bottom left of my screen

also the little box when the game starts up

but it didnt load so i closed it down

but that thing in the bottom left is still there

how do i get rid of it

also why wont the mod load lol

and while its loading theres this faint electronic interference sound on the right of my headset

im just seing this (refer to second image in #📸┃screens_and_videos) and thats it, it wont load

oh nvm

whenever i try to take a screenshot of that thing and i paste it into discord, instead it posts this:

Expression    : âûçâàí áàçîâûé îáðàáîò÷èê îøèáêè
Function      : handler_base
File          : xrDebugNew.cpp
Line          : 927
Description   : çàêîí÷èëàñü ñâîáîäíàÿ îïåðàòèâíàÿ ïàìÿòü

Ñìîòðèòå ëîã ôàéë è ìèíèäàìï ñ ïîäðîáíîé èíôîðìàöèåé

these are the weirdest issues ive ever had with a mod

ok ive closed the game and now i was able to post the screenshot

[drowsy cipher]

my friend needs help with op 2.1

anyone around for assistance?

he's looking for "teleportator" (i've never played this mod so tbh i have no idea wth he's talking about)

[green gorge]

best place to ask is the C-Consciousness discord (which was like an unofficial OP2 discord at first)

[storm kraken]

Another Zolotoy Shar/ Goldsphere question: during the quest "The Masters' Case Is Afraid" (specifically the one where you give the guy in the Garbage a safe after the whole burer thing in the hangar quest) you have to find five tools for Vasily. I've found all of them but the screwdriver, the doll isn't helpful as she just says "they're on the property and they're easy to find" but I've been searching for this one for SO long

I think they're only inside the agroptom buildings but I'm not sure since y'know can't find the last one

I know nobody plays this mod or has played it but it's the only place I can send for help so y'know futile effort aside.

[green gorge]

C-Con discord is also the place to ask for that

since it has real stalker fans who speak English and have played that mod

[storm kraken]

Can I get an invite or join link?

Also as SOON AS I SENT THWT REQUEST I found it

I'm making a goddamn walkthrough for this game

[green gorge]

there are walkthroughs... in Russian

[azure grove]

How do you stop accesses violations from happening?

Im playing a version of New Arsenal and I keep getting them.

Im trying to reinstall it now to see if it will fix it.

[summer jungle]

#📸┃screens_and_videos what in gods name am i supposed to download

[summer jungle]

[neon socket]

[azure grove]

Give me a sec

https://www.moddb.com/mods/new-arsenal-51-revisited-english-version

I did reinstalled it and it seems to be working

But before I would get them but I could start the start the mad and it would be fine.

But the last time it was getting it wean I stared it up.

[exotic bronze]

Hi guys, i hesitate between Lost Alpha 1.40008 and the 1.4007 DC-E, any thoughts ?

The DCE version seems to add different things, the 08 version doesnt seems 100% official too ? I want to be sure

[stiff seal]

better play the 07 version, it is now more stable

@exotic bronze

[exotic bronze]

Yes, few bugs at the first minutes of gameplay for the 08

I reinstall it.

Thanks, for your answer. And to Dezowave again for this Masterpiece

[eager tendon]

What artifacts can the echo detector find in Anomaly?

[frank flame]

Someone in the Anomaly discord might be able to answer that

I wouldn't, because I never use that piece of scrap

[summer jungle]

question

if misery is apparently based on COC

then why does misery only have the map of CoP

cause the fact thats its just the CoP story and thats it, turned me off

[orchid berry]

Misery was made before CoC

[hybrid pumice]

Misery was made before CoC, those are two different mods. There is a CoC port tho, called Call of Misery.

[green gorge]

which gave birth to Last Day (which gave birth to Amomawy) and Dead Air and others like them

[hybrid pumice]

Yup

Personally from CoC based mods I like CoC and Dead AIr the most

[green gorge]

I prefer Dollchan

[hybrid pumice]

Ah, also Hybrid is a nice improvement

Dollchan is nice

[summer jungle]

im playing contract for a good life and im at the part where im supposed to find documents near a crashed helicopter

i have no idea where

[hybrid pumice]

It's the beginning section, right?

I've played it a long time ago

But iirc heli crashes near that place with bridge, checkpoint and trucks

[normal rapids]

are there any good mods for clear sky ?

[hybrid pumice]

It depends what really you want
Because of it's technical issues it has very few mods

For bug fixing one you have Complete (total trash) and Sky Reclamation Project
Typical game addons like Arsenal Overhaul
Total Faction War improves and fixes Faction war mechanic
Hardwar and Yoctosfera are nice fame overhauls, they change it tho
And there is Reborn...

[still iris]

there are plenty of story mods

apparently

but I don't know how's the quality

[hybrid pumice]

Reborn

[still iris]

@neon socket knows more Clear Sky story mods

[green gorge]

It doesn't have good story mods either

Neglected game

[neon socket]

Imagine Stalker but its not Chernobyl but either Three Mile Island or Fukushima or SL-1 area

[eager tendon]

no

[limber coral]

can anyone give me a download to the user.ltx file for dead air? I need it to change the renderer to be able to open the game.

[halcyon turret]

Hello, does anyone here have the time and experience with installing the Anomaly mod? Im having trouble with mine, I need to uninstall and reinstall correctly, thank you for any help

[hallow cedar]

modders be like oo we gotta get that multiplayer sandbox experience i just wanna play the shoc storyline coop

[green gorge]

SoC co-op is impossible according to the lore since there's only one of Sakharov's prototype

so ain't no dude gonna be following Strelok into X-16 or Radar

[hallow cedar]

idc about lore i just want soc coop

[green gorge]

Never

[frank flame]

Something something Sakharov just pops out another one out of his sternum

As if that ever mattered for a coop mod

[neon socket]

make the second player stay at Sakharov bunker intell strelkaokov is done in kab x16

[frank flame]

That sort of defeats the purpose of coop, doesn't it?

What would the other player be doing?

[hallow cedar]

yeah like take sven coop

for example

[limber coral]

can anyone send me their dead air user.ltx file? I need it to change the directx renderer to be able to open the game but it's created on the game actually running so I can't do anything without it.

[neon socket]

Just delete it

The game will auto generate a new one

[limber coral]

it doesnt exist.

[limber coral]

uh anyone?

[violet cave]

user.ltx is pretty much a user config, the game should create a new one if you don't have it

[limber coral]

yes but it isnt

it would be in the same folder as all the rest of the game files right?

[green gorge]

no

[limber coral]

😐

[green gorge]

open fsgame.ltx, the directory listed for $app_data_root$ is where user.ltx is

usually Public Documents\stalker_whatever or My Documents

[limber coral]

$app_data_root$ = true| false| appdata\ is what i see

bruh found it, thank you

nvm found my shadow of chernobyl file oop

[green gorge]

so that says look in the appdata folder

user.ltx should be in there or be generated in there

[limber coral]

well theres an appdata folder in this folder that the fsgame.ltx is in but its empty save for a log

think i can copy the call of pripyat one and put it in the folder?

ok so it was just not creating the file because i got further after setting it to a directory where i put pripryats user.ltx file

[limber coral]

so yeah i still need the file from dead air

[violet cave]

lmao you should just reinstall it or smth, it would be faster

[limber coral]

is it supposed to be created on installation?

[violet cave]

it's supposed to be created when you start the game for the first time

or when you delete it, and then start the game

[limber coral]

yeah but i dont get far enough for it to be created

[violet cave]

wdym?

[limber coral]

the game doesnt create the file, im assuming its because it crashes before getting to the point where it creates it

[violet cave]

and in the logs say that you need user.ltx?

[limber coral]

says failed to find it, but when i copied in pripyats it still gave the same error on screen, but shows in the log that it found the file and loaded it

prolly just gonna give up, maybe try and figure out how tf you're supposed to install anomaly

[violet cave]

up to you, for Anomaly's installation just read the description on moddb

[limber coral]

yeah tried it before twice couldnt get it working

[violet cave]

well Anomaly is divided in parts, each part has a number, just extract the files in a separate folder in order

[limber coral]

yeah

and it didnt work

too much hassle id rather play vanilla
