[hushed pier]

yep yep

we onto something bois

[ocean cedar]

the level 1 rookie watching the master loner digest 45 kilos worth of coffee, just to run a little longer:

[hushed pier]

instead of just sitting next to a campfire

so boring lol

[ocean cedar]

the amount of mental and physical abuse the rookies would suffer is not calculated

[hushed pier]

bro when i was rookie in far cry that shit was cooool

[bold stump]

yo, can i change faction in the middle of doing the main story line?

[near estuary]

technically yes

but don't

it will break shit

[hushed pier]

It should be like a mod called "Manual healing"

[near estuary]

[bold stump]

so i should probably just continue my run right? and then change faction in the next one

[near estuary]

uhhhhhh

don't change at all

[bold stump]

cause im already past the scorcher n shit

[ocean cedar]

just finish your run

[bold stump]

in the next playthrough

[near estuary]

oh you mean start a new playthrough

yeah that's fine

obviously

tbf, issues are rare

but when they appear, it's over for you

unfixable softlocks

[real crypt]

My cat somehow managed to get an entire roll of toilet paper into my toilet bowl and flush

[bold stump]

i get to play UNISG after completing the main story once right?

[real crypt]

Guess who had to unshit their shitter

[near estuary]

!factions // you can just do this

[dawn marten]

@bold stump To unlock every faction from the beginning, you can type greh/renegades/isg/z when you start a new game in the character creation screen.
Since this sound strange, I literally mean "TYPE WITH YOUR KEYBOARD", you don't have an option where you can type in, like an actual console command.

For example, if you LITERALLY WRITE on your keyboard isg, and then you open the faction menu, you'll see the UNISG icon. Same goes for the other factions.
Another good example, ever played GTA? Do a "GTA cheat" in the character creation screen.

[real crypt]

POV: The architect about to bill you 30K euros for drawing a fucking box with two doors

[bold stump]

UNISG had a different storyline or main questline right?

[real crypt]

Yeah. It is basically playing as Mercs but homeless

[near estuary]

different

you collect docs from all the labs

and then do some shit with strelok

[bold stump]

and for the other "locked" factions?

[near estuary]

Renegades are bandits but worse

and Sin's shtick is being neutral with mutants

[ocean cedar]

the three main storylines

[real crypt]

As Sin you are playing Monolith but with a shittier base and mutants don't attack you
Renegades are homeless, Bandits barely tolerate them
Zombies exist

[bold stump]

do the sin have another different set of quests like UNISG does?

[near estuary]

nope

[real crypt]

Nope

[near estuary]

neither do any other factions besides the main ones

by that I mean those who have access to the LTTZ storylines

so Bandits don't get shit either

[bold stump]

what other factions have different questlines? only played on Duty, Freedom and Mercs yet

[near estuary]

UNISG is the only one

Military sort of has one but it's barely a storyline

[hushed pier]

How i find bro 3 month after telling me she's the one

[bold stump]

the LTTZ lines where the modded ones right?

[near estuary]

Living Legend, Mortal Sin and Operation Afterglow

then, if you want, you can kill Doctor and activate the old-ass CoC storyline

which is just collecting all the docs from the labs and then raiding CNPP

[bold stump]

already did that one on the original trology a few years back

[near estuary]

it wasn't in the trilogy

well, not exactly

but it does play like SoC basically

[bold stump]

i mean the old storyline

[bold stump]

its prob not gonna be much different

[near estuary]

wdym

[bold stump]

the SoC, CoP and Clear sky storylines

[near estuary]

yeah those are their own thing

and LTTZ kinda reflects them
LL is SoC
MS is CS
OA is CoP
in a roundabout sort of way

[bold stump]

what i mean is that the "reimagined" SoC storyline that you activate by killing doctor isnt gonna be much different than if id just play SoC from a storyline standpoint

[near estuary]

yeah

[bold stump]

thats kinda cool

did feel familiar when i played MS in my last run a year ago

[near estuary]

so cool that I haven't completed a single one of them in the last 5 years

[bold stump]

did you play the trilogy?

[near estuary]

SoC 10 times
CS 4 times
CoP 8 times

if we're talking pure vanilla

I did complete LTTZ like once in Anomaly in 2020ish

but I just don't like it

[bold stump]

you could probably tell the stories of each game word for word if you played em this much ;D

[hushed pier]

i got the trilogy but shit looks to old didnt finish them

[bold stump]

get some mods to make it more appealing

[near estuary]

yeah
also helps that the story is surprisingly barebones for something that is commonly considered a good story game

like CoP especially

the first two thirds can be summed up with like a sentence

[bold stump]

i actually think its better this way, leaves more to be speculated about, allthough even for that there isnt too much to go off of

[near estuary]

"Helicopters crashed, idk why, we're going to pripyat"

[lilac void]

Good short story vs long and boring

[near estuary]

stalker is the latter

in terms of narrative

[bold stump]

i liked the CS eding with the TV´s n shit

[lilac void]

Yeah, like roadside picnic, it would be less interesting if everything was explained in full detail

[hushed pier]

why we talking bout Counter strike

[bold stump]

SoC does need some time to get to the good part

[near estuary]

probably the only thing to like about that game tbh

[bold stump]

Stalker: Clear Sky

[near estuary]

alongside maybe using all the powerful shit in Limansk

[bold stump]

i liked the atmossphere a lot

[near estuary]

and joining bandits

[hushed pier]

idk why i made that joke

[near estuary]

liked SoC more tbh

CS had the more complete Czech dub

so that's nice

[bold stump]

was more mysterious

[hushed pier]

SoC on this dick

[near estuary]

overall, I recommend only CoP to newcommers

even though it's the weakest aesthetically

[bold stump]

yeah, its more polished in terms of gameplay

[bold stump]

thats why i liked CS a lot

[near estuary]

I dislike CS mostly due to how punishing it is to new players

the economy overall is just dogshit

[bold stump]

yeah the swamps at the start are kinda tough

[near estuary]

and if you don't know how to gimp it from the start, you'll be larping a homeless guy for your entire playthrough

[bold stump]

wdym by that, like the upgrade stuff?

[near estuary]

me when I get softlocked in the swamps on two of my playthroughs because I can't capture points and the squad sent that can capture it died on the way and a new one just hasn't spawned

[near estuary]

no, I mean you spend 50 rounds of ammo and 3 bandages on helping to win a fight for a faction and your reward is 500 RU
ammo is whatever but a bandage costs 200-300 RU

so basically, you lost money

[bold stump]

ohhh yeah, thats why i played with a mod 2nd time

[near estuary]

again, you can gimp this by getting the veles detector from doctor's cave and finding all the pre-spawned artefacts etc.

but a first time player is about that

there's also a point in the middle of the game where they just take all your money

and NEVER give it back

you get your gear back but not the money

because fuck you

[bold stump]

those bandits in the garbage?

[near estuary]

yeah

not the ones that mug you when you enter

[bold stump]

i think it didnt hit me as hard in terms of money cause i was kinda scrapin tha barrel anyways

[near estuary]

the ones who ambush you when you go into flea market's basement for fang's pda

[blissful ivy]

Cant you like, drop all your shit before hand?

[bold stump]

yeah, was kinda shocked when that happened to me

[blissful ivy]

I cant remember if you can store money or not

[near estuary]

yeah
can't drop money tho

[bold stump]

when i stood infront of that entrance i thought that this aint gonna go well, and then it happened

[blissful ivy]

Iirc i remember just buying all the shit i needed

Then lost all the money

Which was like 2k

[near estuary]

yeah I always just went on a shopping spree at the freedom base and then went for the pda

so I lost like 2 roubles

yeah, it can be circumvented like this

but why put it there in the first place

it's just retarded

especially in a game where money is hard to come by

I remember one of my friends just dropping the game after that

[hushed pier]

dimitri jakofmonov

yall know him

[blissful ivy]

Yeah i just dropped literally everything i had lmao

Then walked in and was like “Oh nooo… my stuff…” and then picked up my decked out seva and shit

I liked cs tbh, but i liked CoP gunslinger most

[near estuary]

SoC with Czech dub is my sweetheart

[real crypt]

The world is not ready for a STALKER game with a Romanian dub

[tall jolt]

Anyone know which mod handles thermals? I’ve changed up a few bits here and there to get the game to run better and i just looted a thermal scope and realised it’s nothing more than a funny looking sight rather than being a thermal imager

[real crypt]

Uhhhhh screenshot?

[tall jolt]

It’s just the thermal sight but nothing is highlighted in white as “hot”

I can ss if you want

[real crypt]

Again. Screenshot. It matters

Because there are thermal scopes and there are night vision scopes

[tall jolt]

One sec whilst i open disc then

bam

[real crypt]

Ah shit give me a second

Nope it is a thermal nvm

What did you even change. Thermals should only be handled by 3DSS

[tall jolt]

Altered Beards nvg, removed atmospherics, screen space shaders, and enhanced shaders, and turned on ssdo at medium quality.

I don’t know if 3dss requires any of those but now i know what does it i can check

[real crypt]

@frank oxide Thoughts? I know you play without SSS

[frank oxide]

yeh thermals break without it

[tall jolt]

Oh, hi again. Good to know

[frank oxide]

no fix yet, at least no stable one

[tall jolt]

That’s fine then. Now i won’t be spending 300k on a funky looking 10x scope, lol

Thanks oflin

[real crypt]

Is it related to any modules

Like can't he just install SSS with all modules disabled to fix it

[frank oxide]

i haven’t tested that

[frank oxide]

i mean… probably could do that but honestly the fps loss from having SSS enabled for the few modules is not worth it imo

I been there already

[real crypt]

I forgot these things exist

Do they even do anything anymore

[frank oxide]

nuh, just a map element

[real crypt]

[real crypt]

Remind me to uninstall Atmospherics and the Weather Expansion

[blissful ivy]

i didnt read sog

[real crypt]

[blissful ivy]

[real crypt]

I am confident Atmos fucks my frames hard

[frank oxide]

Unlikely as its just a weather mod

[real crypt]

But if I remove Atmos then my colors are ugly

[real crypt]

Some weathers in particular seem to absolutely hammer frames and frametimes

Not just the rainy ones

[frank oxide]

SSS tanks the most fps, its anywhere between 10 and 70 fps according to user reports

beefs nvg can also tank 10-20fps

[frank oxide]

maybe maybe

Rain ones are deffo cpu hungry

[real crypt]

Yeah but not all

Which is odd

Regular rain weathers? Nothing, FPS won't budge

Rain after an emission?

Paying the red sky tax

DID A FUCKING ZOMBIE JUST ONE TAP ME THRU MY EXO

[frank oxide]

could just be the amount of shit going on

rain + wind + storm + npc’s being freed up from the cover script

[blissful ivy]

no it didnt

[tall jolt]

It’s not that bad without the mods anyway, as long as you can hear and see the rain, and droplets appear on your helmet, it’s enough. Do turn off wet textures though because they look shit in base

[real crypt]

I mean most of my sample size comes from being in Dead City where I get a solid 85 FPS constant

[blissful ivy]

there are no one taps in gamma

[tall jolt]

Zombies can have some pretty crazy guns

[real crypt]

The health gate doesn't work half the times in most scenarios because it doesn't really differentiate from one big attack or ten smaller attacks to my knowledge

Also found the issue

AP Slugs Toz

[tall jolt]

Yep, that’ll do it

[frank oxide]

You get one tapped by emissions

and by pulses

[tall jolt]

Because a half dead guy shooting a shitbox from the hip is enough, because gamba

[atomic pebble]

U should play Global War

[tall jolt]

I feel i’ve definitely stood directly under a pulse at full health and only nearly died

[real crypt]

I'd rather drink water from a Zaton puddle

[atomic pebble]

There a romanian guy being the actor of x character in a mod

[atomic pebble]

The 0.5.2 is peak, u should play it

[blissful ivy]

it does work on big attacks

but thats it

[real crypt]

Hearing that a Romanian worked on something does not actually make me happy yknow

[atomic pebble]

There worse thingis

[atomic pebble]

Global War is a inmersive atmospheric game that doens't fakes Global War where u can make ur own story

[ocean cedar]

The fuck is this audio?

[ocean cedar]

ain't no way that is an official ost for global war?

[atomic pebble]

sashka_strelok audio files from Global War 0.5.2

[atomic pebble]

Atmospheric OST that increases inmersion and adrenaline

[ocean cedar]

i see, where i can get this masterpiece

At the start of the CNPP

And I get jumpscared by this asshole using Instant Transmission while sitting like this at the end

Health bar in the top is environmental story telling

[placid fable]

Hi that's new mod Groks plan to add in next patch - https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/audio-expansion
Maybe someone playing with it, cuz i have crashing/bug on Emission/Psi.

[real crypt]

Try #🔨modded-gamma-support

OI BLYAAAAAAAAAAT

[placid fable]

Wanna joke?

I have ISG Nosorog and Spartan helmet but i can't repair them

[real crypt]

Yeah that shit happened to me a zillion times but I haven't found a Vector in ages

Not on a Merc run anyway

[remote tide]

well i finally found adv tools
but also

[real crypt]

Never gets old

I love how half the Wishgranter wishes crash you because they try to spawn something that no longer exists

[gaunt shuttle]

YOOOO

also gonna be trying out the SIG 550 for once

once i can find the last part

[real crypt]

It is a pretty mediocre 5.56 rifle

[gaunt shuttle]

had a 550 as a bb gun and loved it

have a m4 but i used it as my main rifle last time

[blissful ivy]

guys look

i got the L85 thats not meant to drop

this one takes no scopes

brokie

[real crypt]

Is it?

Lol

[blissful ivy]

yeah

theres 2 of this one

[real crypt]

Bro am I rarted

[blissful ivy]

one is wpn_l85

[real crypt]

Where tf was the transition in the CNPP to continue to the labs

[blissful ivy]

the other is wpn_l85_m2

[blissful ivy]

i cant even explain this

because idk how one couldnt figure it out

[real crypt]

Bro I FORGOR okay I never finish the main loner quest cuz I never play loner lmfao

Ok I got it

Wrong ladder

What the fuck

I found three exo repair recipes on one guy

Lmfao

Are you fucking kidding me the door that has the transition behind it is stuck

[placid fable]

Guys i have a problem, right now i on Afterglow quests, and i help Strelok, hi ask me to find Rogue and Stitch, So with Stitch all ok, but when i come to Rogue game doesn't give me quest for saveing him, and after he came to Strelok nothing happen.

[frank oxide]

In order of likeliness to fix:

Three attempts to fix your issue:

1. Disable 459- Afterglow Ending Crash Fix - yaaargle in Mod Organizer 2 and load a savefile from before you went to save Rogue
2. Use debug to attempt to fix the quest, guide here: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message
3. Load an older save, pick the second dialogue option when saving Rogue (don't give him the pills) then kill him.

[placid fable]

1 hepd me thx

[hazy pollen]

thanks friend

[hazy pollen]

that revolver is some Trigun shit right there.

[real crypt]

It is literally a silver RSH 12

[hazy pollen]

I know, but with the fancy muzzle break or whatever it's called it looks even more futuristic/scifi

[real crypt]

It really doesn't look any more ridiculous than like a Mateba

[hazy pollen]

what about the size?

maybe it's the icon...

it looks disproportionally big compared to the rifle or it's just me?

[real crypt]

ReSpawn creating this absolute fucking gem

[hazy pollen]

yeah, it was a icon thing... also, the texture looks like something out of PS1.

looks really... erm... bland?

[real crypt]

Hey it's a Juan gun

Yehp

I'll clean up my modslist after 0.9.5 comes out

[hazy pollen]

yeah, I stopped playing GAMMA since 8 months already. I'm saving myself for that.

[real crypt]

Yeeee I am just like

Not in the mood

Either way I need to learn to stop being a moron and install ONLY what I want

[hazy pollen]

Me too, my business is going to shit.

[real crypt]

Like there are so many guns in my gun mods that I just would never use

Lowkey wish Frosty would split his gun mods apart but

Lots of work

[topaz bane]

Thats why i dont use frosty. Too many weapons that are too similar.

[real crypt]

Nah Frosty's shit is all high quality for the most part

Juan has...some, good guns from what I've noticed. Really just need to clean up the pack

[topaz bane]

Not saying they arent high quality, just i dont need 15 guns that are barely different

[lethal steeple]

bro should stop playing gamma then

[topaz bane]

Ah yes, because i dont want to add more guns that are all similar it means i i should stop playing gamma... Ffs

Also, i am not saying all frosty weapons are similar. I am saying that there are many inside the pack that are similar to each other

[real crypt]

I mean to be fair

A big part of GAMMA is Tarkovtism

More guns = more better

[drifting temple]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-gun-lots-of-guns-keanu-reeves-gif-17571663

Average gamma mod list:

[topaz bane]

Yeah, but i dont need 50 "ak-47" variations

[real crypt]

I can cut mine in half I think

[real crypt]

More. AKs cool

[steep elm]

These damn eggheads nowadays sure do have a way with names.

[real crypt]

Just you wait until you meet his brother

[steep elm]

So I've encountered a bug where I can't store a battery (not the artefact but just a regular battery) in any container, I can't drop it, and if I try selling it to a trader, I can sell it infinite amounts of times, apparently, as it just stays in the trade window and I can hit trade as much as I want. Lol.

[blissful ivy]

so if i have -1700 with loners, does the ceasefire save your ass?

or will i still be shot?

freaky boar wtf?

[real crypt]

"My face a 10 my body tea" ahh boar

[steep elm]

I swear I find all the best shit off the bodies of dead stalkers you loot for those "missing stalker distress signal" tasks.

[real crypt]

You ain't the only one

[steep elm]

voyager suit, loner SEVA suit, and a green barreled RPK off one grp of dead loners

[real crypt]

Swear those fuckers always have something useful

[steep elm]

yup

[steep elm]

Oh, so the battery seems to have finally disappeared. Must have happened after I moved to a different region.

Excellent

[blissful ivy]

#╓☢stalker-chat message

any answers?

[stark wyvern]

you'll still be shot

[calm rock]

Hey I have a glitch where I can’t use items. Is there a way I can refresh my game?

Without reloading

[blissful ivy]

gah dammit

[stark wyvern]

!busyhands / do you see these things aswell?

[dawn marten]

@calm rock "Busyhands" is the name of a bug that softlocks your game by preventing you from performing basic game functions, common signs include:

• Broken health HUD (all red)
• Can't do any animated actions (use meds, eat food)
• Crashing on area transition
• Can't open inventory
  Highly recommend turn on 412- Busyhands Detection and Blame - RavenAscendant mod to detect if it is really busy hands, and if so then which script caused it. Also keep it on to prevent further long term busy hands that make you lost a lot of progress. Noted that it can't 100% detect all busy hands, so common sense is still the best way

If you have it, reload an older save. Eventually this may not work anymore, you'll be in permanent busy hands, then it's time to start a new game. Read more here: #╭📖faq message
It is sometimes possible to fix with a full reinstall, make sure to use !delete in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293

[stark wyvern]

if you do, gotta reload a older save

[calm rock]

Oh lord no. Sounds like this is a bad sign.

[stark wyvern]

it is

[calm rock]

So is my game starting to soft lock corrupt??? In a sense?

[blissful ivy]

may

lotta weight on that

a load bearing "may"

just save often

reload if it does it again

and it should be ok

busyhands doesnt usually happen much if at all

[calm rock]

Gotcha. I save like every 5 minutes on a new save lol

[blissful ivy]

as do i

i use F5 lots

[calm rock]

I figured it should be an easy solution. i.e. have a button that resets your character’s actions and puts them in an idle stance.

Literally “Reset Character” option

[blissful ivy]

no

that would be something that isnt made in x-ray

also i just had a rescue mission npc in red forest, spawn in mfing dead city

so i didnt even have to fight them

i guess he said he had to go bathroom and then he ran away or smth

[hard summit]

y'all reckon a double barrel is accurate enough to be a headshot machine with slugs in the early game?

[blissful ivy]

yes

[real crypt]

Yeah, as long as the game does not spawn rookies with exos

[hard summit]

hell yeah

[blissful ivy]

my favorite gun setup

actually slugs will 1 shot bodies

in south

with low armor stalkers

like bandits and stuff

duty or freedom might take 2-3

[real crypt]

Unironically did 3/4 of my Merc run with this gun

[blissful ivy]

depending on armor

[blissful ivy]

i know

this is my favorite setup for the most part

for AKs

[real crypt]

Fuck you mean you know

[blissful ivy]

my favorite gun is the F-90 tho

[real crypt]

Homie is stalking me

[blissful ivy]

i know all about the ak-74 pmc

its just who i am

[hard summit]

I remember getting a RAPTR on an ironman run in warehouses and I fucking smoked BS with only like a single stack of AP slugs

[blissful ivy]

a single stack is 10

theres more than 10 in BS

single mag maybe?

[steep elm]

Ahem

[blissful ivy]

20

[steep elm]

Collaterals

[blissful ivy]

rarely

[blissful ivy]

i dont think you can even collat in this game

can you?

[steep elm]

doubtful

[hard summit]

ngl I thought a single stack was 40

[steep elm]

buckshot is already super fuckin' narrow as is, lol

[blissful ivy]

fuck no

theres no ammo thats in 40 stacks

[hard summit]

well I think it's clear I haven't played in a while lmao

[blissful ivy]

highest ive seen i think is either 18 or 20

[hard summit]

wait don't the stacks like... combine though?

[steep elm]

yes

[blissful ivy]

yes but they are still in 10s

if you click on them

[hard summit]

ahhhh I see

[blissful ivy]

example

but it says 60

[hard summit]

that's what I meant, pre-click stack

[blissful ivy]

then thats not a stack

because it can go nigh infinitely

within reason

up to like 9k

or more

[hard summit]

I've never had the pleasure of carrying that much

my bad then

[blissful ivy]

its not a pleasure

you cant move

[hard summit]

four stacks

[blissful ivy]

yeah 40 ap slugs sounds right

[real crypt]

Realistically if you go for headshots, you need 200 rounds for BS, 200 for CNPP

[blissful ivy]

in what kind of gun?

and caliber

smg with ap ammo? yeah

[real crypt]

Rifles with FMJ

[blissful ivy]

oh fuck no

head shots in bs i could see 100

maybe 150

and for cnpp 200-300

[real crypt]

I smell a

[blissful ivy]

HOW

[real crypt]

[blissful ivy]

[real crypt]

Just put on the Simon Viklund music and go for headshots

[blissful ivy]

i said 200 is overkill for bs

[hard summit]

BS for rifle with FMJ is definitely <200 if you mainly hit headshots

[blissful ivy]

bro says skill issue

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-s-patrick-patrick-star-bottle-dumb-gif-1741625486363070335

[real crypt]

You said "Oh fuck no"

[blissful ivy]

bro read first message and ignored the rest

[real crypt]

Everything else isn't of substance

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-freddy-gif-16291315724060218215

[hard summit]

only way you're getting 200 FMJ rifle rounds for CNPP is with the SDVS chambered in 5.56

even then you might be pushing it

[real crypt]

Nah it's doable, but you kinda gotta pray you don't get fucked by RNG I guess

Like how I did in this run

That I streamed live in the vchat btw

31 exos is fucking criminal

[hard summit]

🙏

[real crypt]

Mind you

There are like 80~ Monos inside of the CNPP

[blissful ivy]

what?

it would take even less

pretty sure the SVDS does more damage in 5.56 than other 5.56 guns

and it shoots just as fast as normal guns

just did no step back, that was nuts

i finish the quest

tell my idiot companions to quit moving, and i still hear footsteps

2 dipshits tried to sneak up on me

OH I JUST HAD A DEVIOUS IDEA

a grenade launcher

for no step back

hmmmm

now im really looking forward to the M32

when i find it

[sick yoke]

It’d take more than 200 fmj

Especially if there’s a significant amount of exos

[calm rock]

Hey guys I’m getting more busy hands issues

Particularly when I’m scrapping armor

Now my run animation with a shotgun is different. Of course I can’t interact with anything and all that…

[blissful ivy]

headshots only? no

i did BS with 160 7.62x39 FMJ

[calm rock]

How do I disable the disassembly protection?

That requires me to hold alt and ctrl

[sick yoke]

there's way more mono inside cnpp than there are in bs though

[calm rock]

Where I can right click and disassemble

[sick yoke]

being able to do bs in 160 kind of proves the point that cnpp in only 200 isn't really possible

[blissful ivy]

yeah, i literally said that

160 is bs makes sense

200-300 in cnpp

[calm rock]

Any way to disable the disassembly protection?

[blissful ivy]

just fix your tools

or get more tools

protection usually is because your tool is gonna break

[calm rock]

That’s the thing. I found out the glitch occurs from hovering my multi tool over an item and disassembling. From what I’ve read from some other people’s posts. Disabling the “dissasemble [!]” protection by holding ‘alt’ and/or ‘ctrl’ fixes this.

So people would right click and press disassemble instead.

[calm rock]

I just want to know how to disable the safety feature

[ivory wing]

regarding the lootbox mod. what does a skeelton key bring?

[real crypt]

Opens any box that isn't the coin box. It is also the only thing that can open the very rare Monolith tier box

[calm rock]

Now my character is holding their gun closer than normal???

[real crypt]

Settings > Graphics > Viewmodel FOV iirc

GAMMA Default is .65

[calm rock]

Which settings is that?

Mod settings or default game settings?

[real crypt]

Game settings. If it was MCM I would've stated MCM

[calm rock]

<_>

[real crypt]

It's right under the regular FOV slider

[calm rock]

i see HUD FOV

[real crypt]

Yehp

[calm rock]

Oh, so that one?

[real crypt]

Should be

[calm rock]

Awesome! Appreciate it.

Weird I didn’t touch that setting.

[real crypt]

I don't really commit the exact names to memory, I just sort of move my mouse around like a mosquito

[blissful ivy]

i just told you basically

[calm rock]

It just changed on its own…

[real crypt]

Yeah it does that

It does it when using the free zoom keybind a lot too

Makes you wish you could just set it up that whenever you press W it'd just reset it but yknow

[real crypt]

Xray jank supersedes Source jank

[calm rock]

Yuh. Appreciate the boomer meme btw. Lol.

Quicker to take a pic instead of pulling up disc on my PC.

[calm rock]

I’m using my phone for disc instead.

[real crypt]

Ye ye we got it

[blissful ivy]

idk why

tabbing in and out is faster if you keep it open

[real crypt]

Because Discord is a piece of shit that can take anywhere from 500 MB of RAM to 4+ GB due to it being a piece of shit Electron app

[blissful ivy]

also the white suit ecologist in yanov doesnt die

[calm rock]

Yeah… Anyways. Thanks for the help!

[blissful ivy]

mfw i just use browser one

[blissful ivy]

i didnt help, lets be honest

i told you a solution i use because its worked for me, but what you wanted idk how to do and im too lazy to learn

[real crypt]

Now Chrome is taking up 4GB of RAM

[blissful ivy]

nope, 1.3gb

not too bad for its history of eating 800gb

[real crypt]

Oh yeah wanna hear a giggly thing

[blissful ivy]

sure.

[real crypt]

You know how Discord has many known memory leaks

[blissful ivy]

NEVERMIND

just slashed his visor with my knife and he dropped

[blissful ivy]

mhm

[real crypt]

If you regularly update since like a little under 1 year ago you would've noticed that sometimes your Discord just like fucking freezes in place from time to time

Instead of fixing the memory leaks

Discord makes it so that if the app detects an usage of I think it was over 4.3~ GB, it just fucking quietly restarts elements in a staggered matter

[blissful ivy]

bandaid fix

[dark rover]

like how it freezes if its open in the second monitor while you play o nthe first ?

its started doing that a few ago

[real crypt]

And the most ragebait thing is the fact that people fixed this

[blissful ivy]

thats just because discord sucks ass yeah

custom clients?

[real crypt]

Like people fucking fixed it in custom clients and in the OpenRTC patch

[dark rover]

didnt do that before

[real crypt]

People sent the fucking code to Discord

[blissful ivy]

then discord ignores code

"Oh they fixed my shit FOR ME FOR FREE? fuck you"

[real crypt]

The fucking devs of Vencord sent them a fully commented fucking library

[blissful ivy]

[real crypt]

[blissful ivy]

and it was ignored and thrown in the trash

the end

[real crypt]

Man I wanna say some things about Discord but

[blissful ivy]

just do

[real crypt]

I already am on thin ice and don't want to make Oflin have a headache when he wakes up

[blissful ivy]

wait is making fun of discord against tos or smth?

[real crypt]

No

The things I want to say about them is though

[blissful ivy]

slurs

[real crypt]

Nah not slurs

Worse

[blissful ivy]

"oh thats not a letter thats a threat"

[real crypt]

Critiquing their legal conduit

But that is not Stalker related so

[blissful ivy]

surely

anyways, yeah im just gonna go do the main story now

[blissful ivy]

i realized the only way to outskirts was A. pripyat no

or B.

JUG

and i hate JUG and i dont want to go more than once

ever

[real crypt]

Which is really sad

Because it's a good map

[blissful ivy]

nah its just shit to navigate

ah yes, grav anomalies basically EVERYWHERE

[blissful ivy]

yeah i just dont like doing all that

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-s-patrick-patrick-star-bottle-dumb-gif-1741625486363070335

spamming that shit

[real crypt]

My brother in Zirael

It is a straight fucking line

[blissful ivy]

too much effort

navigating doesnt always mean getting lost btw

can also mean terrain just sucks ass

which it does

[real crypt]

There are grav anomalies literally in one place

[blissful ivy]

yeah and i dont like that spot

JUG JUST SUCKS OK

ITS DARK AS A WITCHES POCKET

[real crypt]

Legit

[blissful ivy]

FUCK OFF

[real crypt]

Hug left truck

[blissful ivy]

WHY AM I JUSTIFYING MY HATRED

RRRRAAAAHHHHH

[real crypt]

Turn mouse 25 degrees to the left

Run straight forward

Turn mouse 90 degrees to the right

Walk forward

It is really sad to me that all of the underground sections are basically less than 1% of your playthrough because they are the best part of the game IMO

[blissful ivy]

i think you and i have differing opinions on the undergrounds

like MM and BS? yeah

some of the other labs yeah

but JUG is a pisspoor place besides certain parts

i like the big open room

[real crypt]

MM is like the absolute lowest point of the game IMO

[blissful ivy]

and i like some of the tunnels

[gloomy iris]

someone know something about main menu backgrounds in stalker? tried to change the background with a dds file but it is heavliy zoomed 😕 ?

[blissful ivy]

MM is great, i like it

[blissful ivy]

i think you need to size it down

because that applies to many things, most of the time ive tried to use .dds files if the resolution is too high its zoomed

[gloomy iris]

to? i have a 3440x1440 picture and got that resolution

[blissful ivy]

because it focuses on the center, and a certain size

[blissful ivy]

yes, but the image has to be a certain resolution to fit

properly

doesnt matter

[drifting temple]

The problem with Jupiter underground is it's not really meant to be gone through more than once

[blissful ivy]

still has to be that aspect ratio though

iirc

[gloomy iris]

okl what resolution? 😄

[blissful ivy]

I DONT KNOW??

[gloomy iris]

ok

[blissful ivy]

DO YOU THINK IM AN ENCYCLOPEDIA

i wish

would make things easier

[real crypt]

And it still gets carried by the atmosphere IMO

The undergrounds in STALKER have better atmosphere than the entirety of Metro Exodus

Fuck I hate Metro Exodus

Piece of fucking shit game

[drifting temple]

I will admit first time going through there was proper spooky

[blissful ivy]

WHY?

it slapped

[blissful ivy]

me when i show EXTREME bias

[drifting temple]

But once you deal with the snorks it's kinda lame lol

[real crypt]

Because it was clearly not made by the same people that made 2033 and Last Light

Ah yes

The Metro series

The series known for

Big wide outside levels

Complete lack of claustrophobia

Using the Tikhar

[drifting temple]

Metro is the post apocalypse for foamers

[real crypt]

The game is also full of bugs despite how many patches it got and the atmosphere is highkey ass

[blissful ivy]

exodus was good, and youre just a hater because "its not dreary tunnel"

i read the metro novels, i played the games and despite that i loved exodus

[real crypt]

It fucking speaks so much about the game knowing the fact that the best section of that game is the mountain bunker section

[drifting temple]

Although stalker has trains too

Like the VL11

[real crypt]

If you are a zoomer then ye Exodus is probably pretty good

I also got ragebaited by bugs and crashes so

Idk

[drifting temple]

After all these years Artyom never properly got his cabbage medal

[real crypt]

It says a lot when in my 200~ hours of playing the first two games I only crashed maybe two times and in Exodus I had to reset every 40 minutes because of this piece of shit not being able to handle 1080p res on a fucking 2060

[marsh bridge]

i believe this is the 3rd time the aug 9x19 has been rebalanced

[real crypt]

And still nobody fucking uses it except me and that one other guy

People just hate the AUG platform

You can tell somebody is under the age of 20 if they think the AUG isn't cool looking

Back when I was small the AUG in 1.6 was the absolute tits

[marsh bridge]

i've used the aug 9x19 a couple time times (mainly as merc) but i can see why almost noone really uses it

gotta go to WT or AW and shoot a bunch of people to get one (reliably) and by that point you probably have maybe an mp5 or a glock or something similar

[real crypt]

WT WT

The fuck is WT

[marsh bridge]

wild territory

[real crypt]

Deadass everytime I see that name I get a brainfart

To me that is just Rostok but violent

[marsh bridge]

rostok but theres always a poltergeist there for some reason

[real crypt]

Rostok but you walk through that one place and the burnt fuzz takes your armor from 98 to 78

[marsh bridge]

the fucking moss bro

hate the moss

[real crypt]

Legit most dogshit thing in the game

The thing is I got mods to remove it

AND IT STILL FUCKING DOES DAMAGE

[marsh bridge]

at least we dont have the vanilla fire anomalies

still remember the first ever mod i got was to make those fire anomalies not bullshit

on jsrs or whatever its called

[real crypt]

Lore accurate Roadside Picnic anomaly

[blissful ivy]

how the fuck would that change it?

"If youre from a different generation maybe"

how in the hell does that do anything

[atomic pebble]

Many levels initially are that but sometimes that is not of a big problem, Jupiter Underground would be ok in-game in freeplays if it actually had several thingis to do, because the quantity of playable space it's ok

[radiant trellis]

anybody use this mod? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/escape-from-tarkov-hk416

[atomic pebble]

Andrey Phokorov thinks that METRO Exodus is the best METRO (the game is about let the METRO)😭

[radiant trellis]

idrk how to get the kit for it through exploration i was wondering if anybody knew

[spiral gyro]

shiiiit i’m interested

[radiant trellis]

yeah its a badass mod, but the mod author made it to where u gotta find the kit

i mean u can make it be in traders(in the fomod) but where the fun in that?

[spiral gyro]

hard spawn or just rng?

i’m gonna install fuck it

[radiant trellis]

he gave a hint and said playground

iirc when it first released it originally said limansk which yeah there i a playground but idk what else to do based off that info

[spiral gyro]

maybe pripyat or limansk

[radiant trellis]

yeah see

it was limansk

but im curious how i would find it in there

maybe a stash

[spiral gyro]

base gamma already has 3DSS and BAS right?

just looking at the required mods

[radiant trellis]

yes

[hard summit]

anyone know around how long ago the change was where disabling BS no longer spawns more Monolith in?

[radiant trellis]

sorry idk bro

also wait wdym spawn more monolith in?

like more come

[little light]

was that ever a thing in gamma?
i thought thats only like og games

[little light]

i think he meant once you turn it off more mono comes in

[radiant trellis]

it already has all reqiurements btw

[radiant trellis]

ohh ok

[hard summit]

oh maybe I'm just mixing it up with the originals then huh

[radiant trellis]

i thought it was only the left over monolith i didnt know more come

[little light]

well tbf i havent started playing gamma for that long so i wouldnt know

[radiant trellis]

yet again i havent played it that far in a year

or 10 months

[real crypt]

It does a lot

[radiant trellis]

also if u havent already u should update the dltx in gamma, its not too outdated, but i would do it just to be safe

[hard summit]

I only managed to get past BS twice on invictus runs, and the only runs I've been doing more recently than not have been invictus runs so I'm kinda the same

[real crypt]

I would think he'd say that lmfao he directed the damn thing

[ivory wing]

Which faction do you guys identify with most?

[little light]

loners

[hard summit]

I dunno but my favourite fac is UNISG

[ivory wing]

how come?

[spiral gyro]

kk

[radiant trellis]

i honestly messed up when doing bs my first time, i didnt have any heavy armor, like no artefacts, like only two guns, maxed out the difficulty, AND played with mags redux and was underprepared ammo wise

[spiral gyro]

i did bs last week undergeared. it was gnarly

under-geared**

[radiant trellis]

yeah i wanted to break my monitor 😂

no mags redux is balls cancer

[ivory wing]

i remember doing my first mm run and i genially started crying on my first run lmao

[hard summit]

you don't really need artefacts for BS I'd say. Same with heavy armour — you should go with good medium armour for sure, but getting heavy armour before access to the northern zone is a pain in the arse

[real crypt]

Bandit. Despite my job I am in a very unemployed phase of my life rn

[hard summit]

not sure... I just like em

I also like their faction questline

[ivory wing]

same

[hard summit]

MM is so much harder than BS for me

[radiant trellis]

yeah im gunning for heavy armor currently before i go for the bs, i already almost got enough for the kit, and i already got a skat-9 armor to repair

[ivory wing]

worked as a vet assitant and couldnt handle the animals dying anymore lol

[ivory wing]

this.

[radiant trellis]

yeah both made me pissed off my first time

[real crypt]

I suffer in middle management by having retards below me and retards above me

[real crypt]

Waiter waiter more psy ghost spam

[radiant trellis]

i was over prepared for mm tho so it wasnt hard other than escaping from it

[ivory wing]

fuck that

[ivory wing]

good luck mister

[hard summit]

this and the triple electro burers

[ivory wing]

leaving?

[real crypt]

The burers are the easy part tho

[real crypt]

It is pain

[ivory wing]

oh yeah pseudo giant i forgor

[radiant trellis]

mercs, im playing as a merc rn

[real crypt]

Actual rock eaters

[radiant trellis]

yeah

[ivory wing]

valid

[ivory wing]

bc of pseudo or the shit ton of snorks and bloodsuckers?

[radiant trellis]

i was gonna play as loner but seeing the nato guns i couldnt help myself

[blissful ivy]

me when i lie

[hard summit]

I like the merc playthrough because it feels great getting the loner-merc ceasefire after disabling BS

[blissful ivy]

[ivory wing]

just get clear sky earlie and you basicly have a nato playthrough

[blissful ivy]

aka freedom with extra steps

[radiant trellis]

mainly pseudo and snorks, i eventually just sprinted outta there instead of killing the pseudo

[hard summit]

exactly

[blissful ivy]

for most people they hate the swamps

[radiant trellis]

i want to so bad, I even did, but i cant with great swamps

[blissful ivy]

i for one love them

yeah i told you

[ivory wing]

lmao understandable

[radiant trellis]

exactly 😂

[blissful ivy]

people hate swamps more than they should

great map

[hard summit]

but I dislike Freedom enough to prefer doing those extra steps

[blissful ivy]

people just lose their shit over grass

[ivory wing]

im thinking about getting a stalker tatto ngl

[blissful ivy]

skill issue

[spark pecan]

it's tragic how ass the RPK is

[radiant trellis]

problem is i cant see jackshit, and its mutant paradise

[blissful ivy]

use them eyes

you can see

[radiant trellis]

yeah i agree

[blissful ivy]

i can see, so you can too

[ivory wing]

there is a mod where npcs and i think mutatns cant see through fooliage

[radiant trellis]

well like i mean from afar

[hard summit]

you can fast travel to the egghead base after falling into the pipes to completely bypass the psuedogiant

[radiant trellis]

funny enough i enabled it earlier today

[ivory wing]

you can cheese the fuck out of it tho

[blissful ivy]

oh, i just dont worry about it

[radiant trellis]

thats right

[blissful ivy]

you can fast travel there as soon as you leave MM btw

[hard summit]

it's usually not worth fighting anyways

[blissful ivy]

just kill the first snork

[radiant trellis]

yeah i heard it was pretty good

[hard summit]

the zombies by the pseudogiant never have good loot on them anyways

[blissful ivy]

you cant cheese it as much as they say btw

they say you can

[radiant trellis]

i mean i killed all of them except for psuedo

[blissful ivy]

you will get mopped

they will literally just shoot randomly at your general area

and you will die

i learned that the hard way

[hard summit]

yeah that's what I mean, when you exit the facility by falling into the pipe system

[radiant trellis]

thats why i got my p90 and mp5 fraiser

[blissful ivy]

oh

[blissful ivy]

in SWAMPS????

EARLY GAME?

[ivory wing]

dodging the slap of a pseudo feels like timing a roll in dark souls

[radiant trellis]

oh no i was talkin bout rn

[blissful ivy]

oh, well i suppose you can cheese it

[radiant trellis]

yk what i had to do to get that p90

[hard summit]

worse. it feels like timing à backstep in DS

[blissful ivy]

but i dont agree with the whole "they cant see you" thing

they can

just not well

[radiant trellis]

i had to kill one of my men

[ivory wing]

damn u right

[radiant trellis]

i regret every sec of it 😔

[blissful ivy]

mfw i want a gun enough to betray the loyalty of friends

i just kill OTHER people

for THEIR things

not my frends

they matter more

[radiant trellis]

yeah but no one else would have the p90

[blissful ivy]

i mean monolith

but sure

whatever makes you feel better

[radiant trellis]

yeah but i had to when i saw it

[blissful ivy]

poor impulse control:

[hard summit]

I don't think I've ever shot an enemy first in the grassy areas of the swamps

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/the-audacity-omni-man-jr-oliver-grayson-conquest-conquest-invincible-gif-9189001670038380162

just slapped him

for his goofy lil gun

[hard summit]

they always see me first through the thick grass

[radiant trellis]

like u dont understand i wanted that shi before i switched to mercs again

[radiant trellis]

[radiant trellis]

icl the p90 does have a goofy build 😂

[hard summit]

trying to start a Clear Sky invictus run is difficult because it's impossible to sneak up to the pump station since the enemies spot you from a mile off

[radiant trellis]

also i killed another one of my hbs for the hk416 i was talkin about earlier

[hard summit]

aw fuck you just reminded me I have none of my weapon packs

I changed PC recently and needed to reinstall GAMMA

so I've got none of my custom mods ffs

[radiant trellis]

broo that sucks

ik your pain man 🫡

[hard summit]

I installed all of Juan's and spent hours taking the 'trader' folders out so I couldn't buy guns from traders

[radiant trellis]

SERIOUSLY

especially since they give u the quest at the start like they expect u to do it with starter gear

ig a mosin would get the job done but anything else is aids

[radiant trellis]

damn 🙁

[hard summit]

I even tried combining all the Juan's mods into a single folder but that obviously left me with an insane number of conflicts

[radiant trellis]

they didnt have an option to turn that off?

that dont make sense

[hard summit]

and on invictus, you don't wanna get a mosin because getting the better armour is more important

[radiant trellis]

yeah that too

not only that if you dont hit a headshot ur kinda fucked

[hard summit]

I really like the winny but it's just not worth taking that instead of the good armour

[radiant trellis]

do u know any mods that make enemies not mod sideways so ffast?

[hard summit]

nah

[radiant trellis]

yeah that one too, i like it a lot

[atomic pebble]

X Labs apart of being atmospheric labs em should be +- hard places for atleast the first time, u can't imagine how dark are the environments of the labs of Prosectors Project

[calm rock]

Any way to use free cam in stalker gamma?

I just wanted to see what my character’s face looks like.

I’m in third person atm

[atomic pebble]

eeeee

[atomic pebble]

"free cam" in gamba it's set to "move the neck" sooooo, perhaps demo_record 1 is ur shrimple option

[calm rock]

Oh wow that actually worked!!

Thanks!!

How would I end it? Demo_end?

[atomic pebble]

ESC

[calm rock]

Got it! Much appreciated

[atomic pebble]

demo_play also works for leave demo_record mode but that is just one of it's features

[calm rock]

I swapped from the Berill-5M military suit to the “Wastelander” Stalker suit

And my character model looks a whole lot better imo. A lot better than looking like Military all the time. Especially considering I’m a Loner after all

[obtuse cedar]

where can I get the original games non Enhanced

[hollow wadi]

Either GOG or buy Enhanced on Steam to also gain access to the OG version of each game

[obtuse cedar]

thx

[obtuse cedar]

what mods should I download to make the game more like anomaly

[obtuse cedar]

max painkillers

[hollow wadi]

So like
Looting for guns and equipment is useless
No BHS
Repair is useless, just buy new
Etc?

[obtuse cedar]

yep that sums it up

[hollow wadi]

Uninstall GAMMA?

[obtuse cedar]

I am talking about SOC

[hollow wadi]

Ah, Sh-

Well okay, in that case I have no idea
In my decade or more of replaying the trilogy near yearly I'd never modded them more than "fix CTDs"

[ivory wing]

based

[obtuse cedar]

so u just zrp and such for other games

[hollow wadi]

Ye

[obtuse cedar]

really good

[hollow wadi]

Might start playing enhanced versions this year

[obtuse cedar]

Radiophobia 3 seems interesting

[ivory wing]

it is

9/10

[obtuse cedar]

I will download it

is there something like radiophopia for CS or COP

[ivory wing]

not that i can think of tbh

[spiral gyro]

clear sky last fallout overhaul

[obtuse cedar]

is it good ?

just downloaded radiophopia what difficulty should I play at

[spiral gyro]

it’s cool. it adds harder mechanics, some better visuals and things like dangerous weather. you can choose winter too

[spiral gyro]

that’s up to you but it gets wild spicy late game. harder than vanilla soc

but you should stick with it. IMO that is the best way to experience SoC in modern era

i loooooove raidophobia

[obtuse cedar]

I am downloading it right now

I wanna play the original games without getting a headache from the old asf graphics

[obtuse cedar]

still what difficulty should I try

[radiant sage]

I wanna play the original games but not have to play them like they are originally

[obtuse cedar]

try what I am trying

[spiral gyro]

start with radiophobia 3 that will keep you entertained for a while

[radiant sage]

My sarcasm is lost on y'all smh

[near estuary]

probably the second one

[near estuary]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207835581766434898/1438184338419355868/glorp-slam.gif

[near estuary]

graphics

that's the problem?

not like there are a million purely graphical overhauls of the trilogy

also, while radiophobia does have much better gunplay, it adds shit like thirst etc.

and emissions

for some reason

[obtuse cedar]

I am used to thirst and emissions

[near estuary]

and grenades for NPCs with 2 second fuses

[obtuse cedar]

kaboom

[near estuary]

also, mutant parts now weigh a literal ton

and you can run into a pair of bloodsuckers outside of the rookie village

[obtuse cedar]

just installed it looking for a stone blood

[obtuse cedar]

Basically GAMMA

[near estuary]

emissions are extremely funny because in R3, they wake you up and then you can't go to sleep when they're happening

[remote tide]

remington 700 acquired

[near estuary]

so basically, the game punishes you for using the built-in timeskip mechanic

[near estuary]

mutant parts weight pretty much nothing in gamma

[obtuse cedar]

the souls like experience
