The general's OP text will need to be updated to include M&B general content, as the two are officially merging together (or they could be in subsequent posts).

I hope the next update comes out this year...
>>519819289Sorry but if your general can't keep up then it shouldn't be a general. This should be the last /sg/ until it fizzles out, many games have done the same, we at /meg/ made the call now it's your turn.
I wish for an X-Ray build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to be released tomorrow.

>>519912410buy it
>>519882862It's ok, we can move to one of those shitty boards.Emmm.... /vrpg/ - Video Games/RPG? Because Stalker was supposed to have heavy RPG elements (at least that's what devs promised back in 2003).
>>519912410Don't buy from G2A whatever you do. These faggots like to advertise a product as being a product key and then send you a whole fucking steam account that you have to sign into to play the game.

Stalkerbros, I have a free Wolfenstein key from Amazon Prime, but it's the Xbox Series/One version. Is anyone interested?
I wish Chernobyl had happened in Russia instead of Ukraine so I could play STALKER years later without having to listen to Ukrainian faggots stroke their dicks in every single wiki or Discord.
>>519974484k
>>519974484Well, it did happen in Russia...Russia scaled down a little, that's all.
>>519974484Besides, it's almost every eastern european game that involves this shit right now and I'm almost sick of it. When does a game stop being a game and become a political message?
>>519974484>>519977875I think you fellas are creating a storm out of fucking nothing. Just close your eyes. Stop being so thin skinned for fuck's sake. If you going to whine, whine about something that matters, like the fuck up they did with A-Life. Political message is the least sinful thing they did with this game.
>>519964016This anti-Ukrainian sentiment is very, er... anti-semitic of you, anon.....

What's the most grounded (for someone who most exclusively plays vanilla) and refined Call of Chernobyl offshot mod? Or say a sleeper mod, which strays a fair bit from the popular ones, yet happens to be surprisingly good?
>>519991275Best one was the canadian hunt/day of the rake. Most fun I ever had shitposting.
>>519990478This is just a roundabout and worse way of repeating the board merge joke that everybody ranks highly.
>>519815947Hai guys I'm playing SoC for the first timeIts kinda boring, I have to travel around a lot. The story is not very interesting although the combat is intense
They killed my main board
>>520012064Which was?
>>520011749Keep playing. Where are you right now? In the game before you get cheeky
>>520012668/k/, and before you ask, no I'm not a nafofaggot.
>>520012971I wouldn't mind, don't even know what's that about. Anyway, say your farewells, time to die, like tears in rain or something
>>520012971Its a glowboard anyways. It should die, just like the alphabet groups should die. Stalker is the best game.
>>520011749It's a cult game, appreciated in particular around CIS countries for authentic post-soviet decadence setting, with genial and subtly humorous writing hidden behind the veil of looming realism. I've known an Armenian guy who was a big fan of the first entry and even brought the game to the workplace to show it off among coworkers, it was in Central Asia.>>520012064Same, shit's retarded but not surprising.
The AI is trash in Stalker 2. If I install the better A-Life mod, does it take effect without a restart? And where is the nvg/binocular mod. Im at work so I cant search for it. Thanks in advance.
>>519960946I recognize that mod! OLR!
I'm pretty happy /vg/ didn't get april fooled.
>>520020995You just jinxed us, you bastard
>>520021471The Monolith would never allow that to happen!
>>519815947Given how badly dissappointing HoC is let's discuss what the perfect stalker mod would be like. Let's start from the very beginning, the feel and general direction of it. I'm thinking a mix of...buildo, soup, vanilla with a dash of NLC. What do we think?
>>520025000Shadow's Addon comes pretty close. Either that or OLR 2.5.
>>520026393Shadows is still tied to SoC's main story, so in that aspect i was thinking more akin to what Dollchan has, it's freeplay but still has a story to follow. Now imagine if every faction was selectable from the start and had their own beginning and story. OLR is just full on buildo.
>>520027818Well, if I had to imagine the perfect STALKER mod...>LA's atmosphere and graphics>buildo levels as they appear in OLR>heavily lean into folklore and supernatural elements>SoC's storyline but more fleshed outThat would take the cake for me.
>>520017803There are no "better alife" mods. They do nothing but expand switch distance.
>>520032289retardhttps://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1301?tab=description
>>520032565Sad that I have to do this, but having dudes spawn in a line in front of me and waste me like a firing squad isn't very fun or on theme.
>>520010323>grounded (for someone who most exclusively plays vanilla) and refined Call of ChernobylProbably IWP? It's literally polished CoC on a 64-bit engine with a big weapon and animations overhaul. Play with Call of the Zone mechanics port. Links were in the OP but baker is a pidor.>sleeper mod, which strays a fair bit from the popular onesRaid vo Mrak aka Grim Raid seems interesting, it turns Analmaly into a roguelike extraction shooter. It's 90% finished. I haven’t tried it myself, but the premise and execution look promising. Also Legend Returns mod which introduces some buildo shit.
>>520035294>interesting>turns the tarkov mod into tarkov (extraction shooter)https://youtu.be/dNQs_Bef_V8?t=3
>>520035019>spawn in a line in front of methat has been fixed since 1.1now two groups spawn 100m away from you and start fighting
>>520038335That's not better though.
>>520038801be that as it may, using mods you can already have a pretty good experience in this game
I, for one, appreciate Mister Baker. He put a lot of emotion into this OP and without him we would not have bread.Mister Baker, please, continue your hard work! Do your best!>>520007715No I hate the "lol trol day" day. Too much tomfoolery.>>520035294>Raid vo Mrak aka Grim RaidThis does look interesting.>>520036018>tarkovbabby detected

>>520025000stalker mods (or even the vanilla games at this point) should take more inspiration from immersive sims like Deus Ex or even fucking Peripeteia, when it comes to story and quest design. I'm tired of linear slop. Give me multiple ways to clear a quest and actually meaningful alternate endings involving choices made throughout the game and not just at the end. CoP was already a step in the right direction, though some parts don't feel that satisfying or are a bit shallow>>520060157>Lego Mars Mission: Crystalien Conflict holy fuck, now THIS is SOVL
We're back.
>>520066365FREEDOM
man, that was horrible
how the fuck is it page 10 already?
>>520020995
So I assume due to the fact that nobody is talking about it here, people generally hate the new game?
>>520091626
oh, we're finally back
>>520091626The reality is darker than that. S2 became a hit, the general was flooded with tourists. In a single day the general would reach bump limit several times. The oldfags abandoned the general. Eventually the tourists got bored and abandoned the general later. It will take a long time before it gets repopulated with actual passionate stalkers like it used to be.
>>520091626only thing I hate about it is how many times it has fucked me in patches.
>>520091626it gets B+ for effort but it's just not the kind of game you want to play forever
do you know if this track has a different, less ambient-y version?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAASUvriKSI
>>520091626Nobody i know that played the games and mods and knows everything about them is too enthusiastic about HoC. Make of that what you will
>>520091626It needs mods to be playable. And it just doesnt have the same vibe that the first 3 had. The zone doesnt feel as desperate.
>>520021694I can't believe the Monolith allowed that to happen.

No widow's peak, no real stalker.
Monolith is my favourite faction in this game. I wish I could be brainwashed alongside my fellow brothers to shoot anyone who approaches the OBJECT of GREATNESS.
>>520177356>>520197792Might be an older version of Arsenal Overhaul Redux, maybe she's still in the mod dunnohttps://www.moddb.com/mods/arsenal-overhaul-redux
>>520091626IDK man. I played it. I like it very much. But it does have a lot of issues. Atleast one gamebreaking one, but that is at the very end, well beyond the point of no return. Atleast one that i know of that screwed me over with a save file. All others are variying degrees of annoyance.Economy, though you have a lot of wiggle room and believe it or not, you can use your starting pistol all the way to the end and just sell artefacts.Mutants have too much health, dont drop mutant parts, and have a very annoying AI that as soon as it detects that you are on elevation or out of reach, runs away and hides behind obstacles. Grenades are recommended to spook them out of hiding, but its very annoying.Stalkers. AI is kinda funky, but its ok. The worst is that you have no option to even flag them or surrender or IFF or anything. Joined Varta? Good luck because military will still shoot you on sight. Mercs will do that too. I dont like having no option to negotiate. Spawns. I hate that shit, the most annoying bit in the game. Sure, you can work with it, but its fucked up.>clear hotel of two controllers>run to the second building>they respawnedVery very annoying. And then there are random spawns...>walk anywhere>chance that 3 bloodsuckers will zergrush you>chance that you will end up in a 3way firefight>bumrushed by dogs or hogs or bothI dont like this shit. I like pseudo-permanence/determinism. Probably the worst offence of the game - fucked up ALife.Evrything else is fine. I love artefact hunting and new anomalies. The Zone feels great to explore. Story is also neat.Guns feel alright, though they still cannot into see-through scopes (Killing Floor does it right). Dont like the limitations on some attachements.I want to replay it again, but because of that lost save (it got overwritten by game), im still miffed.Oh and then there is a lot of hate for the game from russians, because cultural appropriation failed.

why do i feel like stalker 2 is irrelevant to most oldfags, it's like no one who should care about it cares after these few months. it's hilarious when you consider that it's a sequel awaited for 15 years.

>>520387746what for, zrp being necessary is a meme, unless each copy of x-ray is truly personalized and i'm the only person who has never encountered gamebreaking bugs or any crashes in vanilla.
I think I might restart Radiophobia for a full playthrough.I've only played through SoC past the Brainscorcher once. After playing too much S2 I find myself missing the grim mortality of SoC.

>>520358345thats insane that coc looks like that. is it JUST iwp or other stuff on top of it? gimme your modlist pls
>>520403689It is pretty much the way IWP looks. I'm using CGIM weather and replacement vegetation but that is about it. In terms of gameplay you may want to use CoTZ.

>>520427494>The compass is an optional addon included with IWP.thanks a ton. youre awesome
>>520091626It's not even a finished game, there's still way too much on the table and major bugs were still being addressed in patch 1.3. GSC has planned DLC and multiplayer but who knows when that's coming out.Despite all of that, I liked the game enough to put in 200 hours over 2 playthroughs. Exploring through Pripyat is what really sold me on the game, there's so many weird and interesting locations there.

Best way to play modded CoC on linux? I really don't give a shit for graphics, tacticool loadouts, or animations.
Meanwhile, at GSC...
>>520598023No idea about linux. Give it a go and report back.
>>520598023if you can run cop on linux, you can run coc on linus. the OP has a link on how to do that
is it fixed yet?
>>520619147is what fixed yet?
>>520620929stalker 2
>>520621797yes latest patches fixed a bunch of things pls download 160gb again thanks
Is no one in this thread talk about stalker 2 anymore? I know that game kinda let down compare to stalker OG.
>Wish for a Gunslinger update at the Wish GranterWhat happens?
>>520631606you get Arsenal Overhaul level of animations
>>520400081yes
>>520631606you get more meme pistols, including a P320 that shoots you on its own while you unholster or holster it

>>520647965well, if you only care about animations and PiP scopes, then IWP has a nice boat gun...I too would like to see what upgrades Gunslinger would add to the gun
i wonder if burers can reproduce
>>520608539>>520609878I know I can run it on linux, I was expecting more on what mod loader should I use. Can MO2 work for CoC, or am I stuck with JSGME?Honestly, I should've put more effort into my post. What is the best version of CoC to play nowadays? 1.4.22 w/ the pinned addons? CoTZ? That definitive version from anon?
>>520667332Iwp, with or without cotzyou shouldnt need a mod organizer.also idk
>>520684804lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNslTfxG4BsI wish that stalker had a mapmaker like some rts games. Fucking hate the way you need to make terrain and other stuff in 3dsMax/Maya/Blender
>>520694061In STALKER's defense it was literally the product of another era. Remember, when STALKER was originally being worked on it was still using DX8.

>game just starts crashing constantly 20 hours into a runнeт...
>>520667332IWP with call of the zone is bretty gud, just make sure you have dotnet and openal installed otherwise the launcher wont work on linux. run it on a virtual desktop as it would crash after 20min on my arch based kde x11 desktop. have had no issues with jsgme and addons. addons I would recommend: absolute nature or autumnal winds(if you like brown), absolute structures, cgim2, hud with the geiger counter, more durable npc companions, new radio music.

Did any of you get any sdalging done?
>>520738803I know vanilla SoC has a reputation for jank but I honestly have never had the game crash out the ass for me like that. Only in mods does that happen.
>>520791314I haven't played STALKER in a while now but I still check up on /sg/!
>>520694061The Ray of Hope devs were working on a custom SDK that seemed pretty user-friendly. Did they ever release it?
I am tired of bumping OLR 3 and meme 2 killed the whatever steam /sg/ had, we need to fuck off from this gacha riddled board
>>520806882>Did the RoH devs ever release their SDK?no, they only released some smaller tools, like the npc and dialog editor on Github once. The ship has already sailed and them releasing their SDK wouldn't really change the modding landscape that much, since there are already other good SDKs floating around the net or are in active development with great QoL features, fixes and other stuff. IX-Ray SDK is still being developed, but its already available and it's in a quite good shape.There is also the Rentgen-Luch Editor, but it's unreleased and its also unknown, if they'll actually release it to the public.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7coJNulaYAll these SDKs are great in my opinion, but they still don't really change the fundamentals of map creation sadly. Like I said before, it would be really convenient to have a terrain sculpting tool for stalker for brainlets like me. I can wrap my head around CAD software, but using most modelling software is kinda ass and time consuming>>520818292anons should start creating their own mods
Has anyone played lost alpha enhanced edition?
>>520791314Just finished up all the chain quests and video archive in OP2.2 todayGonna do wave of mutants and then chess player, hopefully getting the STALKER achievement this timeReally looking forward to seeing how OP OGSR ends up, I played the early leak/release whatever that was, and it looked like it was gonna be alrightHopefully they release this year, so I don't need to do another playthrough of OP2.2

do you bratans have any features or mechanics that you've never seen implemented in any mod but would like to see? genuine hypothetical question
>>520821287i played it, and it's terrible. really terrible. it's like every superficial difficulty meme about misery and gamma rolled into one. the mod authors don't handle criticism well and often shit on complainers on their vk. this mod has the most ridiculous save system i've ever seen. not sure if it's from dc extended, but the "safe-zones" where you can save were manually placed by the authors, and they can be in the most random spots, from the actual safe base to a stump in the middle of the fucking woods. i think i saw a mod that removes this somewhere, but the EE authors claimed it would brick your playthrough for some reason. i had to replay the intro factory mission like 15 times, each time running from the save spot only to get domed by pm gopnik instantly. finally killed a controller on my 30th try because the psy effect actually makes you nauseous irl and you can't hit shit because of the sway. absolute dogshit.

At first I though the biggest problem with Stalker 2 was the lighting and graphics in general.After replaying SoC for the first time in over a decade, it's obviously the gameplay itself. Gunplay is nowhere near as good and the mutants are all fucking awful to fight (except snorks)
>>520855124>>520842182>not fixing the eyelashesanon pls>>520868847what did you do to the scope?meaning why is it off center in the scope like that?
>>520882372STALKER 1 remains the greatest of all time.>>520892394You got some sharp eyes anon.>not fixing the eyelashesI don't see what the issue is. How are they broken?>why is it off center in the scopeIt's complicated. Short answer is I don't know. Long answer isThe way the pip scopes work is by there being lens models within the mesh of the optic. When I removed the eyecup from the PSO, I discovered:1. The lens model for the crosshair was inside the eyecup2. The lens models for the objective and ocular protruded from the model of the scope housing, and they were a bit off center.I resized and adjusted the lenses hoping that I would just have to do a calibration of the aiming coordinates to finish it off. It didn't go as planned. I think the textures may have gotten thrown off center when I resized the models, so it could be that adjusting those will fix it.Work for another day, because for now it is serviceable.

And any HUD you can think of with variable outfits.Hardmode - no HUD on suits with no headgear
Lost Alpha had the map Construction Site and I really liked it. It was in Legend Returns, too. Legend Returns also had the map in vid related:https://youtu.be/8U1ibvkyY8E?feature=shared&t=1124Are there any other mods that have them in?>>520848748I'd just like Stalker to have more imsim-like features and mechanics but it makes no sense just tacking them on afterwards, that approach needs to be part of the core development from the start, you can't just Deus-Ex up a finished game.
>>520942728>Construction SiteI think that’s the factory section from buildo rostok that GSC later repurposed for a multiplayer map? OLR has it, complete with a janky bloodsucker boss encounter where you have to chase it around the level.

Last year, we were honored to show the world Wargame: The making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 — a documentary created in collaboration with the incredible team at Xbox. This project had a profound impact on our team. We received thousands of responses and reactions from players, journalists and curious people, all about how important it is to continue talking about the outgoing war in Ukraine.But this film is not only about the war. It is about the history of our country and Chornobyl in particular; it is about the people whose lives have changed forever in 2022; it is about the game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which has brought many people together.The film has been recognised by the Webby Awards and is now nominated for the Best Documentary — Webby Awards People’s Voice. We would be very grateful if you could cast your vote for Wargame: The making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Voting will go until April 17th.In the meantime, we will continue to work on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl improvements, developing the universe and doing what we love. All of this is only possible thanks to you and your support. We will never forget it.With love,The GSC Game World teamhttps://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2025/video-film/branded-entertainment/documentary

>>521102045good evening, anon
>>520955024>Such as?I just really like branching paths, both in quest design and level design. When levels have different ways of traversing them, plain ground level, tunnels, rooftops. Stalker has this here and there already, like in Wild Territory, but it's always more platformer-like in Stalker. In OG Deus Ex, a window becomes a door just by breaking it. It's fun. Also, being able to finish tasks in multiple ways is nice, depending on what sort of character you're playing as. But Stalker is a shooter at heart and not a hybrid RPG and that's fine. Still my favourite game series of all times.

>>521119053>>521119334>>521120736It's not just the Bar. After leaving Agroprom, there was nobody in the Garbage. There were bandits, so I cleared them out and the game told me to get my reward. But those guys in the hanger were gone. So I went to the gate to reach the Bar, and nobody was at the gate. I managed to get the door open, but it was kind of janky and unresponsive. There were no guards, and nobody inside the Bar. They just fucking dippedas for the stashes, I followed the map coordinates and the game wouldn't give me an option to open them. not like it mattered anyway. even when I could open them, they were fucking empty. They coordinates wouldn't clear off the map either, so I just ignored it. What goblin is going around stealing all of my shit?

>>521160384>posting convincing but utterly fictional gamesI approve
>>521204756from what i remember, if you want to replay soc on a 'stable' modernized engine but with inane vasyan characters and quests added, then go for it. i think radiophobia is built on top of it and cuts a lot of bullshit but replaces it with misery gamma autism instead.
>>521204756I quite liked OGSR. It's been ages but I still rate it. Random things that I recall:> Some of the quests are definitely soup-adjacent, but they're mostly optional (like the stash hunt for Forrester, or the weird Master quest in Dead City)> Finding Klondike was sweet> L4D Bill as bartender in a new location (??)> Non-optional Hardcore AI >:O> Lots of memeoptions that can be toggled from the launcher, thanks> Can set timescale; I made a full day take 10 irl hours. Kino> Bugged quest objects: Ended up carrying a 10kg jerrycan until the very end, couldn't drop it> Some good surreal weirdness I don't want to spoil> Can find records around the Zone for a jukebox in Rostok, pic related> REVOLVERS. I love revolvers> Cleared out all labs with flamethrower and Smith & Wesson, maximum kinoI'd say it's definitely a "should play at least once" mod.>>521200057https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZbnUHHwvU
>>521212089>>521204756Forgot to add that I read that you can join, or at least ally yourself with bandits for an optional bandits playthrough or something, but I didn't go for that.
>>520091626It was very popular and blew up the general so I left for a while but I stopped playing it when I noticed enemies spawning in on me the weird blur from the shitty AA options pissed me off. It needs a year of dev time and a SDK. It seems mixed in general from older fans of the series, I'm less forgiving of a repeat of SoC's technical problems than some are. Also getting the impression that public opinion is slightly turning on it outside of here, since they're on like month 5 of 'cooking' a roadmap they promised last year.

so the in SoC, the first missions guy asks you to get some documents from the military base in Cordon. But he advises to keep it low to prevent them from targeting anyone. are there any repercussions for taking out the whole base in broad day light? I can't be arsed with waiting until night fall. Am I missing anything?

>Tried out OWA after getting tired of Anomaly>Random sound effects are inexplicably quiet>Reinstalling the Better Sound mod didn't change anythingThe fuck is this?

Wave of Mutants in OP2.2 is so boring man, I've been sitting here for 7 hours, just waiting on a roof until the npcs kill everything The spawns are so slow and it takes so long to conclude, and the game runs like pure shit during itAt least I'm almost done with day 3
