Indeed he was

Sadly he didn't used his power to think, and rather to stream some of his godly gameplay to us and to fight with his statement using the console: I've read the manual.

[tame pollen]

I lowkey thought the Blue guy is some sort of unusual NBC suit or something

like literally, didn't even think of it as missing texture

Because I domed him in limansk

[sacred stag]

No, he was too much on crack

And dreamed of being a total blue guy in a blue planet

[tame pollen]

My guy's actually dying from radiation overdose from blue artifact

[sacred stag]

Holy shit, that's almost tricked me to think that it's real. Excellent reshade ya got there.

[cunning crest]

i'm using reshade only for CAS and bloom

tonemapping, saturation, contrast - ingame shaders. whenever i find time, i'll post more info in #╟🎑reshades (about tonemapping)

[sacred stag]

thanks, I'll need it when I get my new pc

[dark brook]

That's GTR ?

[torpid mauve]

the ground yea

[dark brook]

Did you enable parallax ?

[torpid mauve]

mm nop, i have it disabled

[dark brook]

There are new shades

With GTR

[torpid mauve]

yea but they crash

at least in gamma

[dark brook]

Incompatibility with enhanced shaders I think

[cunning crest]

yup

[dark brook]

Patch when ? :O

[torpid mauve]

when dobrov comes back

[dark brook]

@cunning crest I think you should be the one posting it to moddb btw. Dobrov won't

[cunning crest]

i won't post GTR on moddb - it's Dobrov's work

he decides about it

as he's in rather bad situation (invasion) i'm not gonna bother him with mod

[dark brook]

I just asked him to do it before his work got stolen, he told me to post it on moddb instead of him

Yes I can imagine

[cunning crest]

enhanced shaders are cool af

[dark brook]

Deleted

[cunning crest]

eh, idk then

[cunning crest]

alright

[sacred stag]

Sheeze

[dark brook]

@cunning crest I would say do as I did for Crook and when Dobrov comes back you can delete the moddb page

[sacred stag]

Things aren't going good

[cunning crest]

i'll ask dobrov first, then think about upload

[dark brook]

👍

GTR will define a new standard for STALKER. The source material must be foundable broadly with correct authorship before Vayesian fuckers get the merit

[cunning crest]

well in worst case they get sued by AMD

[dark brook]

Let them come

[cunning crest]

aaaaalright

i should put gtr on vanilla 1.5.1, take some screens, make a description

[dark brook]

@cunning crest for screens GTR is full of them

[cunning crest]

oh

nice

[dark brook]

I can write description if you are really lazy

[cunning crest]

it's not about being lazy - i just don't have clean 1.5.1 binaries and switching from 1.6 branch to 1.5.1 will tkae ages xd

[dark brook]

Ah

[cunning crest]

the joys of .git

[dark brook]

[cunning crest]

ill check shaders first, delete whats not necessary (or make it optional) then upload

I forgot how the game look with default gamma values since I'm playing DX8 on a toaster currently XD

Gamma cursed guns series when

[young hinge]

with the "turn on lasers" button

[young hinge]

i could never find practical use for lasers in games

[wintry hamlet]

hipfire ...

[young hinge]

that tends to miss though

and difficult to control the recoil

[wintry hamlet]

its not supposed to aim for you

you can still miss

[young hinge]

i know i'm talking about recoil

[wintry hamlet]

it helps with knowing where to aim

it has no use for recoil and no one ever said it has or that it should

[young hinge]

okay cat man

[wintry hamlet]

i thought that was obvious enough

[young hinge]

i didn't say it's supposed to improve recoil

i just don't like using it because hipfire recoil is difficult to control

[wintry hamlet]

i am saying, the answer to your question is "helps with aiming"

[young hinge]

okay cat man

[quasi oak]

EFT?

[young hinge]

i like aiming more

i think it's because of my shit vision. For some reason i can't see the laser dot in stressful situations

[quasi oak]

the blue laser in EFT is ok, but the hipfire is just pretty accurate in EFT, easier than cs awp no scopes even

trying to press F on sahkarov in yantar's bunker is kind of hard for example, smaller margins

Boi have a big head. Probably stayed woke all day long when he was captured by Bandits. Don't know what were they going to do with all of those intelligence...

[tight sleet]

Gamma is so beautiful

[tame pollen]

It works if you use the alternate aiming, like the gangsta stuff

It helps for longer range

[sacred stag]

The ultimate glowup. Got my new shiny Berill for that one drunkard in Yantar...

[sacred stag]

Well, wasted a few thousands but here I am, with my brand new RPK.

[bright peak]

Do you have a dedicated GPU or are you on APU?

[tulip heath]

your game reminds me of stalker mobile lol

[bright peak]

That's why I'd recommend some sharpening, you seem like on laptop.

[sacred stag]

I'm on dedicated GPU, since I'm a laptop gamer.

[bright peak]

Just wanted to say your screenshots look pretty blurry, a little sharpening might help.

Without sacrificing fps

You can do it without Reshade

[wanton delta]

bruuuuh that grass is sick. Is that default gamma or something else

yeah goddamn it looks so much better..

What zone?

[wintry hamlet]

how do you want the grass to look alive and green like that in a frikin irradiated, physics laws bending and unnatural place ?

where is your immersion now?

does it have anomalies and radiation irl?

not that i know of

[twin field]

[wintry hamlet]

i never looked at them this closely

[twin field]

It just survived walking through a Burner

He didn't make it the second time D:

[feral elk]

how do you go into 3rd person mode? In vanilla anomaly it was numpad 8 and 9, but I don't know which keys do this in GAMMA

[torpid mauve]

go to options>keybinds and find the keys

[wintry hamlet]

you have to bind it first

in keybinds

Random encounters in the Swamps

I love the fact you can't loot every corpse but this is usually the time in the story where I get tons of loot. This time they put up a heck of a defence and I only got a chance to kill, and loot, one (1!).

[queen hawk]

Uhhhh grass and trees and shrubs grow like crazy in irradiated areas Ala chernobyl exclusion zone

Misery was wrong and always looked to me like it was fall

[wintry hamlet]

radiation and anomalies

it literally grows just fine where there is a burner

i am baffled by how people complain about "immersion" but not about those details? i thought little details is what adds their weird sense of immersion

[queen hawk]

Yes i agree but still as a thing greenery grows wild around raduation

Could probably tweak the map to remove grass around burners sure

[wintry hamlet]

i am not saying do it, just asking why are people not complaining about it, since we have seen the stupidest complaints about immersion

weird

Wants to make the game HD > knows nothing about HLSL or texturing

GTR is indeed really good and that's why I supported Dobrov with my money

I'll wait for proper support of GTR with Enhanced Shaders though

Simply because Enhanced Shaders are so good

[tulip heath]

first chimera dead of heart attack, in tunnel with electro anomalies with no electro anomalies

[bright peak]

[wanton delta]

Not sure worth the mention, but Grok linked GTR before and this is from GTRs channel.. Procedural texturing using a shader. They are on some really interesting stuff going on in there. Left old, right new

A guy (LVunter) is working on this in an unannounced project based on anomaly 1.6.0 or something.. (huh.. theres an anomaly 1.6.0?)

[dark brook]

Yes 1.6 is coming in a long time and LV is the main Shaders developer for Anomaly and some other Stalker projects

He's a real Chad and that's partly thanks to him that I got into stalker modding

Boys, I'm having a slight problem with stashes in AW. Basically, there's this one stash here that's located in the Suckers' Village. However, I couldn't find it. Can you help me?

[languid sedge]

im pretty sure its above a doorframe

outside of the barn theres another room with an open door on the right

[sacred stag]

Doorframe you say? Hmm, I'll go there and check it out. Thanks.

[sacred stag]

yep, that's it.

Thanks @languid sedge , I found it. Some decent shit.

I sadly missed screenshotting when I got 200 for a Battery quest.

[sacred stag]

400 for Itcher

Good money

[outer grove]

Delivering artefacts is not a lucrative business option. Better pay to deliver medicine or mutant parts.

[young hinge]

i use my Hip as my trading pack mule. She carries all my meat ( ), all my mutant parts and all my other sellable things that stalkers request all the time

[twin field]

It fools you twice. First is a "Oh, wow. That's low. But maybe it's just because it was a fluke." Second is "Wow, what the hell is the point of this?"

[young hinge]

i think they buy it for the market price

like sometimes you'll sell a mutant part to some guy for 2-3k and sometimes you'll sell a bunch of expensive meds for 200-300 rubles

[outer grove]

It depends on the base value of the item in question.

[young hinge]

yeah that's what i meant by market price. In trading menu, for whatever it goes, they give you that much money for the mission

if you don't care about the item or money it's good for reputation

[young hinge]

is dooty recruiting children now?

[bright peak]

[high shore]

somebody help him theres quicksand

[bright peak]

Lieutenant tho

[dark brook]

But what if you empowered the artefact before giving it

https://tenor.com/view/uh-oh-boy-awkward-confused-what-gif-9999457

[outer grove]

Is it truly worth it still?

[dark brook]

That's what you should do if you want from it ?

30% Artefact gives 60% of their base value in vanilla

Now if artefacts don't spawn enough, I can bump that spawn rate

[outer grove]

If you purchase the melder kit for 30k (or was it 50k?..), and it's uses are finite, while an artefact needs several uses before it's condition is 100%?

[dark brook]

You just replenish the melder ?

By breaking junk artefacts ?

[wintry hamlet]

idk if this is related or not but i noticed that all artefact types spawn in all anomaly types(a burner based artefact can spawn in a toxic based anomaly)

[dark brook]

It's in the melter description

[outer grove]

Derp.

[dark brook]

Alt + drag and drop the melder on an artefact

It will replenish 1 use

You just need 1 melder

It's written in the item description

Can't do better than that

[outer grove]

To be honest, I've been busy clearing Elden Ring before getting into RC2.

[dark brook]

[outer grove]

Got 35/42 achievements when I was "done".

[dark brook]

Yes... I have to think about this. I used ARX spawn system which does that. Told @bitter rock about it already but that's fine.

It mainly comes from few arefacts goups in the artefacts.ltx file. I can just edit them and it should be fine

[bitter rock]

I know KronQ was preparing some alternative spawns ... but anyone can prepare spawn groups ... ain´t that easy ... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[wanton delta]

How do your followers look like that in the bottom right? Mine are shitty small pics in the middle right of the screen

[twin field]

How do you empower non-junk Artefacts?

Nothing shows up to use

Artefacts empowering: combine two exactly similar artefacts to sum their condition
So I need to find specifically other Batteries to get one of them to 100%? ~10 of them, maybe?

In a game with 20-something artefacts, that's a lot of potential RNG to dig through anomaly site after anomaly site to find specifically Batteries for a side quest.

[young hinge]

just go mutant hunting and sell parts and meat to demanding stalkers

best way to earn money

[twin field]

Definitely. Butcher seems to pay quite a pretty penny.-

[young hinge]

random stalkers have a higher pay

[twin field]

You mean quest-wise or

Just that in random trades?

[young hinge]

when you ask stalkers "do you have a job?" and they say bring me 3 rodent meat or 2 lurker tail

etc

they pay really well

[twin field]

Yeah

I just hate having to go around to every stalker I meet one by one.

I do wish you could pick up quests from random stalkers without having it fail when they die. If it just cancelled harmlessly I'd love to pick up a bunch of missions from an area and then seek them out when I come across them.

[young hinge]

another good one is running errands for faction leaders, traders

[twin field]

It might just be my imagination, but it feels like mutant parts tasks are rarer if I'm actively carrying a lot of mutant parts. It's very rare that I get a "Collect Dog Meat" if I'm carrying a large amount of dog meat.

Could just be nocebo.

[young hinge]

choose the ones you won't be in the same region with. They can't die in unloaded maps

[twin field]

Some stalkers move around, so they might show up on a map later.

[young hinge]

yeah they eventually do. I hate that but what can you do, it's the zone

[twin field]

We need a mod that harmlessly cancels missions where the quest giver dies (With some exceptions, such as escort missions) with no rep loss.

[young hinge]

they are harmful? None of my failed random stalker quests were harmful to me

what does it do

[outer grove]

I'm literally having this sensation too.

I can carry twenty different meds, thirty different animal parts, sixteen variations of foodstuffs...
"Bring me a PDA 2.0".

[young hinge]

rng in this is really leaning to my side. A few days ago i sold some guy 4 stimpacks for 10k

that was an easy 10k

[outer grove]

Yes. Not only 'nocebo', but possibly a negativity bias in my experience..

[young hinge]

i have a weird thing with these kinda stuff. Like i keep thinking it won't happen but then it does. If i think it will happen and maybe even hype about it, it's definitely not going to happen

no idea what the science guys call this effect

[outer grove]

Gamblers' Fallacy?

Maybe not entirely what you meant:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy#Bias

[young hinge]

you know a lot about fallacies

[outer grove]

Yep.

[twin field]

IIRC you lose goodwill if a quest giver dies, as the game doesn't differentiate between abandoning/failing a quest and not being able to finish a quest (Because the quest giver is dead). Accepting random quests from stalkers is therefore a bad idea. Very counter-intuitive and... well, unfun.

[outer grove]

The great RC2 rat migration.

Jurassic Park Theme 🎵

[young hinge]

huh. I sometimes "failed" quests by telling the questgivers i don't wanna run their courier boy errands

it hasn't done anything to my goodwill though

i think i always get the good bugs in games

[sacred stag]

Probably your screen is too wide.

I really don't know

Better ask in the Anomaly ofc discord

[wanton delta]

i mean they look entirely different...

@sacred stag are you running default gamma? or some other stuff?

[sacred stag]

Default GAMMA mate

From the looks of it, it seems like your screen is messing up idrk

Better go to Anomaly discord

Need a link?

[young hinge]

there's an anomaly discord?

Did you edit PDA message files?

[wanton delta]

what the? Is that multiplayer or smething?

man imagine being able to multiplayer GAMMA.. Cant see how it'd work though with all the mods etc, but daaaamn that'd be sick rolling through the zone with actual people as backup.

[coral sable]

This or use the RF receiver is my dream

[bright peak]

Theres an addon in works for only multiplayer communication via pda, it's just a port atm from cop but they say the gonna work on it. Scroll up in the general chat, Grok posted it's github link up there somewhere.

Not sure if it's breaking the regular communication tho

[dark brook]

Maybe in 2035

[dark brook]

It's just irc chat in Anomaly. It's cool but I think it pretty much kills the immersion....

Having random out of context messages in kinda like you would have discord in game ... Weird stuff

If people behave properly why not

But I'm sure they won't

[bright peak]

Private server would prolly work but does normal npc interactions, conversations still work?

[unkempt sparrow]

#931238326172794881 in the pda can be funny to have, sometimes it cracks me up

for immersion I play without any PDA beeps and text, but at night when waiting to be tired enough to sleep. I open my PDA and scroll trough the messages of the day (like we do actually when you have a busy life/day) ^^

the moon lighting is really nice, not sure if this is a shader or caused by the shader based beef's nvgs.

-Boris, 2019, Chicken Kiev

[bright peak]

In the mod description, modder says they took her look from book cover or smn but she looks more hd models than og Stalker/Anomaly ye

[solar nebula]

its settled, Hip is now Svetlana in this playthrough

[young hinge]

my Hip is called Pam because i like the name Pam more

[sacred stag]

My PKM bitch pegged these two Pseudogiants to death.

Garbage

Machine gun supremacy

[young hinge]

why does your gamma look like clear sky

[sacred stag]

becuz Clear Sky is pog

I believe in Clear Sky-styled graphics supremacy

[tame pollen]

stalker mobile

[sacred stag]

Operation Duga Free I ended successfully.

[surreal sun]

First time in Red Forest. Welcoming committee: 2 chimeras.

[sacred stag]

"They love me" - every Freedomer when they first entered this area.

[surreal sun]

[surreal sun]

It feels super good to be in Red Forest again, after so many years! That place is definitely action packed !!

Being back at Forrester's feel good. Incredible how these Stalker game can make a lasting impression for years.

[surreal sun]

And i'd like to share something I waited for a long time : HIP is finally experienced!

[wintry hamlet]

after all those years

[surreal sun]

I'm getting used to her, I may keep her who knows...

She just went and killed a Sinner alone. She's getting useful

[surreal sun]

Wow played a little bit more and she's FAR more accurate !

[bright peak]

Her only mission is Vans I swear, that's why she's getting more and more powerful.

[wintry hamlet]

[dark brook]

BAN's Vityaz ?

[plucky oak]

Noodum's vityaz, that ban ported, yeah.

[plucky oak]

It has a script that makes everything crash and deletes save if it's installed in GAMMA

I paid 100€ for this script to be realized

[split hedge]

But why

[sacred stag]

No one get everything for free

[wanton delta]

I dont understand, what is it?

A stalker mod? Huh? 🤔

Google suggests its a gun...

[wintry hamlet]

vityaz is a gun, i think noodum and BAN are modelers ?

[plucky oak]

Noodum is the author of that vityaz model. BAN (short for big angry word that i can't say here) is a modder, friend of me and grok

author of the g36, saiga addon, etc etc

The mod will be available soon on moddb anyway

Is a replacer for the shitty vanilla vityaz

[solar nebula]

Ahhh, that BAN. Now I know who you mean. Didnt get the abbreviation at first

[plucky oak]

Blackgrowl, yeah

https://gamebanana.com/models/4073 this is the model anyway

[plucky oak]

actually, Krycec is the model author, Noodum made the textures.

[solar nebula]

it even has a free download

[plucky oak]

yeah, gamebanana is not a site meant to sell models, but to share/showcase

anyway the mod is on moddb

[solar nebula]

oh, thats nice, never heard of it.

[plucky oak]

sketchfab/cgtrader sell models, but some are also for free.

[solar nebula]

The Outskirts is probably my favourite map. So different and beautiful compared to the rest

[outer grove]

I'm on the opposite of that opinion. I strongly dislike Outskirts because it's an urban environment. Too many open streets, as if the level was designed on a grid paper.

I think I enjoy Red Forest the most. Jupiter is a close second.

[split hedge]

Jupiter's vibe is something else. Zaton comes close too.

[solar nebula]

For sure, Jupiter is great too, Zaton has really bad performance but is ok. Red Forest I despise though, no orientation at all and I cant remember where anything is

But I do get the visual appeal of it

[coral sable]

Its the Berill, the model on THAP rework has full gloves, so i use a rexture of it fingerless

[tulip heath]

The pants shittingly scary maps are the best

darkscape and truck cemetery, mutant hell with almost no save spots really gets my blood pumping

[wintry hamlet]

why must you curse us with this image ?

[bright peak]

[outer grove]

All I can focus on is the re-occurring pattern of the water texture.
I would've been nice if that area was playable. (guessing it's the port of Outskirts)

[solar nebula]

Yeah, I had to angle my camera view the right way to even render correctly, so I agree haha

But it's still a sight you dont see everyday

[outer grove]

Well.. I could find a vista in Elden Ring on maximum settings and post that.

[bright peak]

While something creeps up behind and one hit you or throw you off the cliff

[wintry hamlet]

i am scared i will be at the wrong end of that gun sooner or later

i didnt give it to her and its not in the inventory

[solar nebula]

[wintry hamlet]

cnpp south and north seem to have a few stashes

really rare to get stashes in cnpp and generators(i never gotten even one in generators)

also is it just me or are the 2d pda textures just so much more visible ?

maybe not so much but still a bit

[split hedge]

They really are. Noticed after updating I don't have to struggle to find them on the map like before.

[wintry hamlet]

i feel like i have been lied to my whole life who said 3d is always better

[bright peak]

Bro, behind you

[dark brook]

Default GAMMA parameters?

[clever badger]

Speaking on settings, I must say that you did a great job in that case

[tame pollen]

Finally some good weather 😠

[wintry hamlet]

starts raining "but there is no clouds what the heck"

its just anomaly weathers

[dark brook]

Thanks ! Tried my best

[outer grove]

its just anomaly weathers
Chocolate raaiin.. 🎵

[tulip heath]

is that the lebedev?

[wintry hamlet]

they just unlocked a higher tier of holding the guitar thats all

[bright peak]

Don't let them learn how you play

[young hinge]

i killed a squad of mercs in army warehouses and hit a gold mine of artefacts

also got an rpg

[wintry hamlet]

i was headed to raid the CNPP and okay gamma can really have some scenery, also its getting dark so i will have to get this done quickly or use some NVGs

i can hear the monolith fighting psuedogaints in the distance

accidently raised the game volume and i am hearing all kinds of mutants in the distance

[coral sable]

Yantar carnage: I arrived at Yantar, heard some shots and i thought it was the guards killing some mutants, when i got close to the bunker, the loners were shooting at the ecologists, and mercs shooting both, don't know what caused the conflict, none survived and none were looted... this reminds me of City32 incident

[split hedge]

[dark brook]

Is that the RC2 lamp ?

Or did you pick a new texture by yourself?

[coral sable]

New texture, from the addon "NICER FLASHLIGHTS AND HEADLAMPS ADDON V1.7" more specificaly the "police" version, i only used the texture

[coral sable]

Laurelin

[agile kite]

weird animation

[sacred stag]

An attempt to recreate the scene of a Dutyer aiming an SVD.

[wintry hamlet]

where is that "scene" from? i dont recognize it

[sacred stag]

What I was aiming for

From STALKER ENG WIKI

A Dutyer aiming an SVD, Red Forest, circa 2012

I should be standing though

[wintry hamlet]

oh okay

[solar nebula]

Best model from DICKS yet

[bright peak]

My man has the drip

[outer grove]

Urgh.. Needed to use five RGD-5 grenades for these guys in Red Forest.

They were all waiting for me behind the small hill, right before the broken-down tank.

[solar nebula]

Lucky they didn't throw them back at you

[outer grove]

I did some LOS manipulation.

[solar nebula]

The ol' reliable

[summer oar]

Try STALKER, but hole

[dark brook]

Dog?

[torpid mauve]

do gg

[split hedge]

Man, that's why base ZCP settings feel nutty.

[solar nebula]

Ok, so the Red Forest CAN look nice

[clever badger]

(the scariest place ever)

[wanton delta]

What masks mod you got there?

[tulip heath]

I had to put her down cause people here were too h*rny

[outer grove]

I'm going to try increasing the population rate—by a lot—on my next character.

[coral sable]

Just disabled the GAMMA No masks textures

[split hedge]

You loco.

[sacred stag]

The northwest checkpoint after many raids. It suffered heavy casualties, to doggos and zombies.

[bright peak]

Tis a hard life holding a checkpoint

[outer grove]

Is it though if you have a mounted .50 cal at your disposal?

[wintry hamlet]

they actually almost never use it, unless its the player thats the enemy

for some reason

[outer grove]

The southern checkpoint uses their MG—on anything.

[wintry hamlet]

yes that one i noticed

but the north one is almost never used

unless its the player

[outer grove]

Too bad for them that one thermite grenade will wipe out the entire post..

[bright peak]

Tried to say the irony but failed

Even termites are in shock that duty is so bad holding checkpoints

Yeah, no. I'm not feeling bad jokes well enough today

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

Bad jokes are difficult to force. It applies best when they appear naturally.

[coral sable]

Chaotic

[bright peak]

Nice rpk

[wanton delta]

What;s your helmet?

[coral sable]

artyom

[tulip vale]

i really like the more subtle reflections of SSS in comparison with SSR

[green dove]

just had a military invasion at train station, there were more in side and everywhere xD

weapons and ammo from all that fight, except weapon parts and a shotty / mosin were from that fight. Broke down all armour. Now to see what good parts i can scavenge xD

oh and probably more ammo in the weapons xD

[sacred stag]

Two dudes got melted by my grenade

[wintry hamlet]

"dutyer dunk some bandit"

thats gotta be the best part

[sacred stag]

And why am I having a sudden urge to bang this corpse?

help

[wintry hamlet]

just dont.

dont become freedom

[sacred stag]

Freedom armors are making me becoming more and more weird

[wintry hamlet]

you will become the very thing you swore to destroy

[sacred stag]

And why pseudogeists are chasing me for no reasons?

Is the Zone getting horny for high ranking dudes?????

[wintry hamlet]

they are just your fans

[sacred stag]

oh no, I can imagine the picture panels

send vodkas

[split hedge]

Because if they go through you, you are good as dead.

[young hinge]

not gonna lie, that bloodsucker is packing quite an ass

[young hinge]

they wanna bang you

[sacred stag]

Nice AS VAL from my fallen brother

And this

A green stash in Agroprom

Blyatiful

All while I was listening to Clear Sky radio, aesthetic.

A picture from my AS.

[sacred stag]

Two Remingtons

I'll give one to one of my pals.

[outer grove]

This is the brightest I let my games get.

[coral sable]

Toxic forest

[clever badger]

the place where toxic kids live

[green dove]

you can tell when a person just loves the first weapon they choose on a new start when you see the state of just the ammo in storage

[outer grove]

[wanton delta]

Is that dynamic faction relations?

[outer grove]

Yes.

[green dove]

feels good

[wintry hamlet]

[wanton delta]

hmmm.. Im going to try a realism playthrough. I can do a lot more damage but also take a lot more.

[wintry hamlet]

cool

[coral sable]

I use to set the protection on Poor and Bullet hit on 1.6, i think 3 will be almost hitkill

A Badass looking stalker

[young hinge]

this is how i sit in real life

i wonder if anyone ever thought of me as a badass

[coral sable]

If you have a AK and a hood the majority will think you're scary lol

[young hinge]

i've got a hood but no AK

[coral sable]

So you are just "Bad" the "Ass" comes with the ak lol

[wintry hamlet]

dynamic relations

[dark brook]

Me when I heard about 1.5.2

[wintry hamlet]

[split hedge]

You started to float too?

[quiet cradle]

he must have like 4 gravis in his pockets

[dark brook]

[wintry hamlet]

what is the "rumour" part supposed to be? is it a reference to something ?

[outer grove]

Half-life reference.

[wintry hamlet]

i guessed the crowbar had something to do with half life freeman but what about the rechambered desert eagle ?

[outer grove]

Not sure. In Half-Life it's a revolver.

[wintry hamlet]

if i can remember correctly in soc there is a scripted dead stalker body called gordan freeman and has a crowbar in his inventory that you can loot

actually now i am not sure if he was in original soc or one of the mods but its still a nice reference

[outer grove]

Hmmm.. It sounds familiar.

Yyyyyup.

[wintry hamlet]

yea i think i recognize that profile picture

[outer grove]

Yellow on grey is hard to read, but it says "Freeman".

[wintry hamlet]

yea they didnt have the full name, just freeman

[split hedge]

Rechambered to 45 as well

[random hollow]

My new Friend. Is he the dark stalker?

[bright peak]

Dude is expert, might be everything

[sacred stag]

Dark stalkers are just Sin dudes. Dark stalkers are a used term to refer to overcoat-using stalkers.

[solar nebula]

Dark Stalkers are also the hooded controllers, who have more HP and damage.

The term has multiple meanings afaik

[iron spindle]

[quiet cradle]

ah yes even in the relative safety of his base, the zone sent a ray of reminder "i will get you sooner or later"

[split hedge]

Nothing too fancy, just thought on doing it on the spot.

[coral sable]

Open BTR's with stash

[solar nebula]

You can press H to hide Health ui and Numpad-Enter to hide your UI fully, to get some extra fanciness

[split hedge]

Yeah didn't made it to show the drip, but more to showcase the disguise system in action .

[solar nebula]

Ah, nice

[green dove]

no im not racist... Others tend to get in my way more than some xD

[grand jungle]

factions = races. Yea i forgot

[green dove]

bah come on im joking i know a faction is not a race

[wintry hamlet]

just kill more mercs or you are racist

[green dove]

all the loner ones are from people killing them xD , bandits are mostly given as hand in quests xD

[wintry hamlet]

no monolith ones? weird

normally they are the most common enemy

[grand jungle]

bah, its a double joke bruh

[green dove]

have not gone up that way yet, keep getting distracted and full of parts xD

[green dove]

baaah jokes on you as I knew you were joking rofl

[coral sable]

Plot twist: He's the monolith

[night gull]

The military: why?

[green dove]

good early farming material xD

[night gull]

True

[green dove]

and the way i have my warmode settings atm, I just dropped in army wearhouse, first few mins and 100+ dead renegades ROFL

they took over that sector

[night gull]

Lol

[green dove]

couldnt get more than half way and was encumbered with disassembled AMMO xD

but i cant carry much anyway, dont even have 1 slot on my armor

[night gull]

Rip

[wanton delta]

Is that even gamma

[worthy river]

Yes, he's using old dog (i cant remember the name) hud

[wanton delta]

Just the water and grass etc all looks really different...

[wintry hamlet]

probably a shader and a texture mods, just my guess

but it could definitely be a whole different modpack

[torpid mauve]

dead zone water+golden autumn+old dog hud

[wanton delta]

@torpid mauve Where is Dead Zone? Dont seem to be able to find it...

[hybrid summit]

I think it's a mod, not a place (:P)

[iron spindle]

[wanton delta]

I know, im trying to find where to get it

Also seeing this post just 3 days ago from deletion

[wintry hamlet]

that didnt take long...

[bright peak]

Not sure if it's still active but ehhhh

[wintry hamlet]

money

deletes it cuz "no need and no one wants it" and "resources" and then 3 days later starts again but paid

[bright peak]

Patreon post is 3 days before the delete post

Not sure what happened there

[young hinge]

nah deletes it 3 days after posting the patreon

[wintry hamlet]

oh wait i just realized

okay

[bright peak]

The link they provided takes you to the register/pay page, I didn't see the main patreon site

[wintry hamlet]

"what the hell happened here" and yea i kind of jumped to conclusion there

[young hinge]

what likely happened is our buddy is a schizoid

or he's just really insecure

[bright peak]

https://www.patreon.com/DEAD_ZONE

Yeah, it's dead

The links are dead, no patrons or any pledges

Hence "no one wants it"

[young hinge]

he said there's no need to store a large amount of data

how large was it

[bright peak]

Lauta might know it

[young hinge]

google drive gives you 15 gb for free, how big could it even be to cause him any inconvenience

[wintry hamlet]

bigger than anomaly itself that would be just a huge amount of unnecessary textures

[young hinge]

yeah especially seeing it has almost no difference from vanilla either

[wintry hamlet]

it is different

but i find it hard to believe that its more than 15 GB

[bright peak]

[wanton delta]

@torpid mauve Do you have the mod and can share it or know where one can get it?

[torpid mauve]

from what i understand

he expected people to donate a lot since dead zone released

i guess almost nobody paid, got mad? and removes the mod

[young hinge]

not very cash money of him

[sacred stag]

He's like Demosfen, but money.

[young hinge]

i have a very strange feeling stalker 2 is gonna bring fallouters into stalker community

[bright peak]

So?

The will have to adapt like every community, STALKER isn't your ring-a-ding-ding.

[night gull]

........same

[night gull]

True

[bright peak]

I'm just vibing tho, there won't be much trouble i believe. Those who love will find a new place to hang out and shit talkers will be smashed as always.

Because their big babi

[coral sable]

😦

[wintry hamlet]

did you have it in a container ?

@coral sable take it out from the container before turning it in for the quest, if its a really low condition one then its just probably the normal price but it still seems a bit low

[torpid mauve]

sakharov scamming rookies

[torpid mauve]

les goooo

[young hinge]

sakharov on his way to becoming sidorovich 2

[coral sable]

I had it out of the container, but the condition was very low

sakharovich sounds better

That UI looks so crisp...

[young hinge]

this was a reaction message

[grand jungle]

how much bloom ?
yes.

[tulip heath]

don't even wanna know how this poor guy got this way

[bright peak]

[high shore]

Thought i fixed this dude... whats the visual tag?

[tulip heath]

I'm probably just not fully updated but it's sim_default_monolith_264706

[high shore]

thats not the visual tag

it should be like " stalker_monolith_nbc_suit_x"

[tulip heath]

oh, well I didn't get that my bad

how do I see the visual tag?

[hybrid summit]

You need to have debug mode enabled

[tulip heath]

do you get it when you execute get info?

[hybrid summit]

Yes

Point your "visual" at him and press that line

[tulip heath]

is there a way to spawn a specific npc based on their visual tag?

[hybrid summit]

Good question

[tulip heath]

@high shore I got it again on another monolith right now
its stalker_monolith_nbc_suit_5

[high shore]

perfect, i'll see if i cant fix that one

[torpid mauve]

[quiet cradle]

used to be my most fucked up and funniest runs if the giants spawned in cordon day 1 and smashed everyone within the first 5min

[coral sable]

I got say, i have cleaned Lab X19 in anomaly maybe 20 times without too much trouble. But this time on GAMMA... is being a challenge! 8th time i died with a Headshot lol i'm enjoying alot!
Some info:

• Player protection: poor
• Bullet damage: 1.5

[young hinge]

look who i found

[night gull]

More like stiff

[tulip heath]

this FUCKER with a gauss rifle just 2 shot me at full health in a nosorog

I have never been owned so hard in my ENTIRE life

[night gull]

Lmao

[sacred stag]

Like how I fucked with the Army once and indirectly eradicated the whole Village...

[young hinge]

we've all been there

[coral sable]

Freedomer paradise 😎

[outer grove]

Typical Red Forest when you stumble upon a long-gone firefight.

[quiet cradle]

that usually happens every time rats spawn on the other side of the hill, i dont have to do anything and the battle of rookie village commences. military has choppers tho so its mostly a one sided fight

[outer grove]

Genuine fear.

[grand jungle]

some shoots i liked

[green dove]

A few too many bandits....

[green dove]

I only wanted to buy a file -.-

[bright peak]

I thought that was your in-game minimap covering half of the screen

[green dove]

one sweet nade while hiding in a busg, wish i was recording this 1 in a million chance for me xD

[night gull]

Are those mercs?

[gilded schooner]

[tulip heath]

other shots from the capture of our infamous 'Vans Pebble'

[sacred stag]

WAIT, YOU GOT HI--I mean, congrats! Bring him back to base.

[wintry hamlet]

why do i have a feeling its just a double of him

[sacred stag]

Possible

Vans is a godlike stalker anyways

Lol, he walked right into my line. One tapped him with my Remington.

Falco, I think we are now on the same boat

.

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

Uagh.. I had an exhausting firefight with Monolit and Sin forces at the bridge to Limansk.

[sacred stag]

Free patches

[outer grove]

From one fight.

Counting the corpses there were thirty-three in total.

[sacred stag]

Have you ever tried the "Defend the pump station" yet?

[outer grove]

Nope. I really should since some players claim it's fixed.

[sacred stag]

Oh damn you really should

I got 3 artifacts from it.

[outer grove]

not_bad.jpg

[sacred stag]

Also the corpses for me after finishing was around your count as well, may be higher too due to the corpses that fell to water.

[outer grove]

Look..
Bandits ≠ Monolit

[sacred stag]

Nah mate

[outer grove]

[wintry hamlet]

bandits are just stupid, monolith are stupid and brain washed

and have much better gear

[outer grove]

This being the key factor in this equation.

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

Also, thirty-five now—as two more appeared while I was sorting their loot.

[young hinge]

monolith aren't stupid, they're just brainwashed

bandits in the other hand are both conscious and stupid

sin is even worse

[wintry hamlet]

but i think he is just memeing, its "stalkers" that think they are the same

[young hinge]

everyone in the zone is a stalker

[wintry hamlet]

by game logic yes. otherwise its used for loners sometimes

[outer grove]

And now a group of Military wants a piece of my loot pile!

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

One of them shot me in the chest with an ASH-12.

And now Mercs!?

#🎪bruh-fart message

[wintry hamlet]

next, the UNISG

[outer grove]

I wouldn't be surprised!

[outer grove]

Nope. More Monolit..

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

I'll show you the pile, if I ever get to finish sorting everything..

[wintry hamlet]

i mean the fact that everyone wants a piece of that fight is suspicious, not saying you are lying

[outer grove]

I didn't mean it like that, I mean a literal pile of firearms lying in the tunnel behind the tower.
Maybe their AI detects that pile of weapons and goes for it.

[wintry hamlet]

oh... thats probably why

yea it seems when there are weapons on the ground npcs just slowly stroll towards them (or light jog sometimes)

[outer grove]

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

I've fought fifty people at the Limansk bridge alone.

Well, screw me sideways!

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

This place is a battlefield.

[night gull]

Ye

[outer grove]

The final pile.

[night gull]

God, i wonder wtf happened

Scroll up.

Oh, UNISG?

Further up.

[night gull]

Monolith.

Yep, lots and lots.
