>>496108356>starts talking about the STALKER acronym at 0:40n00bs don't know
>>496109585o, i thought it was for Still Terrified, Always Lost, Kinda Eating Radiation
>>496110148That's a good interpretation of it lol.
>>496109585"tactical personality/liberty annihilator" sounds WAY cooler than the scavengers thing
>>496109585>Prof. Kaymanov's Stationary Tactical Personality Annihilator (with) Capacitive DischargeJudging by the leaks this might be have some legitimacy. Maybe the entire plot of SoC was started by Doctor (who is Prof. Kaymanov) finding a roundabout way to save Strelok by tasking him to kill himself post-CS brainwash (as opposed to tasking him to kill another stalker who would fight back)? The little we see of Doctor in SoC he is clearly concerned about Strelok's well being and worries about his solo journey to the north, and tasking him to kill himself when he doesn't know who he himself is feels like the most "do no harm" approach.If only the game fleshed out the Monolith sleeper agent angle more or even showed a model/PDA entry of a body with the tattoo.
been out of the modding scene for years, is there a mod that reworks gunplay? iirc not even gunslinger could do it, visual upgrades are peak but it still had clunky reloads, slow weapon draws and buffered semi auto shots
>>496118917Interesting idea.

>>496139691Better give up now if you're going to complain about easy shit like that. You can snipe the controller before he or the chimeras notice you. Then you just need to jump around while killing the chimeras. Wait until you reach Yantar and the burers and controllers in the tunnel out of x-16 start climbing the ladder, jumping over the fence and fucking with you while you're knee-deep in the nearby swamp.
>>496171584ty for the new wallpaper
>>496131608which one of you posted my image on reddit better thank me for the updoots
>like gammas weapon progression because the games feel way too easy when you have a good weapon like the g36 or vss and it feels nice when you can finally build a really solid weaponAnyone else know this feel? Sure the reasoning behind not being able to buy weapons seems stupid, but the gameplay feels more fulfilling. Hobo mode stalker is the most fun time. Good weapons just turn it into a point and click adventure where you pop enemy heads before they can even see you.
>>496196150Yeah I like that. If someone makes a slower weapon progression mod I will probably give it a go at some point after I'm bored of vanilla in S2
>>496109585Okay sure, but then why do NPCs call each other stalkers and why do the NPCs call you a stalker? If stalkers are only supposed to be CNPP sleeper agents, no one would know you are one and say "get out of here stalker" and such. And it's not like THQ told GSC to make those lines or write dialogue calling people stalkers.
>>496131608The guy complaining about the UI and meme paint is right though
>>496131608I'm surprised people looked at that image, realized it was reeedit and still read it.you're all retarded.
>>496196992anon...stalker and s.t.a.l.k.e.r. are two different things. npcs don't call each other s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s., but just stalkers. stalker = a person who comes into the zone illegallys.t.a.l.k.e.r. = a code used by c-con to mark their agentssimple as that
>>496197616inb4 nuh uh its youtube stupidsame fucking thing
>>496176610Objectively incorrect
>>496197972>AnomalyIf you're going to argue/bait in favor of CoP being at least equal to SoC, at least use a vanilla CoP screenshot. Don't get me wrong, I like CoP - it was my first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - but using screenshots from modded installs makes any game comparison arguments a bit weaker than they should be.
>>496199151thats anomaly?
>>496199650health bar bottom left gave it away
>>496199650Yeah, you can just barely see its minimalist health and stamina bars on the lower left. I'm also 99% sure that those are Misery, if not some other mod, textures.
>>496199834so how do we know its not just cop? or cop/misery?
The CoP is not self-sufficient. Absolutely all graphics are inherited from CS, expect couple of features like tesselation from dx11, protecta shootgun, new burer/controller/chimeraThe CS is also not self-sufficient. All he did was change some environment, add some new NPC models (CS) and first person animationAnd in the same way, the SoC is not self-sufficient. Absolutely all video content is borrowed from early builds. All they did was change the some environment textures and weather lightingThe less borrowed from the previous part or assemblies, the more self-sufficiency. So graphic mods are based, they allow SoC to the feeling that this is not a mod for the old OL build. They allow CS to the feeling that this is not mod for the SoC. They allow CoP to the feeling that this is not mod for CS.

le heckin' downvote chuds!!!!!
>>496222585They hated him because he spoke the truth.
>>496193157kek, has grok already said that they are just vocal minority, that everyone on his pisscord is super excited for stalker 2, and claimed that only toxic gatekeepers hate gamma, like he always does?
Why Ukrainians is such obsessed with bicycles? Half of the Russian-language videos on YouTube about bicycles were created by Ukrainians, and under videos created by Russians there are a lot of related comments from UkrainiansIt's a shame that stalker doesn't have any bicycles produced by the Kharkov bicycle factory
>>49622547502:25
>>496229160Gamma has 500,000 members in discord.this is more than anomaly (60,000,) and GSC itself (70,000) by multitudes. Guess what, they aren't a minority anymore.
>>496229887hehe
>>496229160He should poll them, I wonder how many of them are "excited for Stalker 2" with the reason being "mods" — one guess what type of mods that is
>>496230432no no, gammafags aren't minority by any means, but grok likes to say that these of them who say shit about stalker 2 are the vocal minority, and that everyone else luvs the originals luvs gamma and for sure will luv stalker 2.
Goldpshere is a cool mod, but man, the quest are so fucking annoying
>>496230970Are you trying to say you don't want to spend most of the gameplay time in menu boxes? You don't want shitting and pissing mechanics? It's 2024, Scum had such hardcore immersion figured out by 2018. Stop holding us backwards you casul.
>>496197972as stated>shartnomalyNo sovlWhere's my gritty nuke-punk UI? Where's my dogshit models with super saturated textures?All in all it looks to real.I sleep.
>>496230432>muh discord members>for a mod where joining a discord is needed for downloading, support, asking questionsretard
/anomaly/bros,,, WE'RE BACK!
>>496239950>discord>needed>supportSupport for what? it's already put together just for you. no need to do ANYTHING. Grok has your back, buddy! Go through that installer <3>ask questionsNo need! In fact, the Gamma discord is so useless at asking questions that GAMMA players leak onto other platforms. It's fairly common to find several GAMMA posts asking for help on the r/stalker subreddit. if the GAMMA discord is so helpful and supportive, why are people not USING it?Checkmate, chud. >no verification necessaryOn that topic, go back.
>>496237669>>496207759related musingsStalCraft and DayZ are the ultimate endpoints for a Stalker-esque game.Stalcraft does it best, albeit with models that look too disconnected from each other. Square players and environments with "high" poly weapons.Distracting? A little. Unique? Without question. SOVL? 100%. Stalcraft's multiplayer and small map aspects are peak fucking stalker. Playing with your friends, doing quests, hunting artefacts, REAL FACTION FIGHTING. It's great. I did not get far into the game, just the first handful of maps. I'm sure it gets worse as time goes on.DayZ on the other hand has a much more realistic look. I prefer the gameplay of DayZ far more over Stalcraft with it's open ended gameplay with better movement and gunplay. Surviving in DayZ is actually *surviving*. I have spent hours just exploring the maps.Recently we just finished playing some Pripyat on Hard Home. The servers are all dead for Pripyat (probably because its not just brainless PVP), However; the map hold a 1:1 recreation of Pripyat with some places being ripped entirely from STALKER. Four labs around the map, cool little easter eggs, and on this server a lot of unique enemies made it a cool PVE session.I like not having traders, not having quests, and not having a character that can quick save. It makes the game feel more real, and interactions more organic.This was entering the bunker in the CNPP

Without folly, without delay you have been here to nigger post about everything. It could be absolutely nothing, what color the sky is, what you feel is right, and what life is like in the zone. You're there anon, and I've been here reading your posts the whole time.I love you
>>496241753Szone's isometric design is unappealing to me, and I haven't found any other online game to play that is as close to stalker as stalcraft.As I mentioned I didn't get far in. I'm sure it gets worse, but the first couple maps were enjoyable.What other games are there? Survarium is dead, and I don't have a VR headset for that dumb one on steam.
>>496242143>everything. okay bud>NickIt's okay, Nick, I can post cringe too.
I cant wait for Videogame Gunkey, GmanLives, Mandalore, Civvie, and SSeth to play STALKER 2! Their reviews are going to be so good!

Wonder where he would be now.
>>496249183Alan?
>>496207759I just couldnt get into this game with its wack ass graphics and the way its pay to win. I just want stalker multiplayer that is a bit like CoC/Anomaly (in that you get to choose a faction and free roam etc), with some simple but fun gameplay loop, with player made server lobbies so I can make a strict roleplay server and ban anyone who breaks character or acts stupid. That would be kino. To bad its never ever.
>>496222585That reply dude is right. Even if its barely successful it will still win due to the current video game climate with even shitty cash grabs making 5-10 million sales and bring in a bunch of new players. The only way it wont do that is if it flops horribly, but I think a manly man shooting mutants in nuclear slavland is the type of game people want right now after the slog of "cozy wozy games" and tranny shit we've been getting.
>>496252909banning anyone who breaks character is fucking stupidI dont mean to totally undermine your comment, but unless you played the god forsaken GMOD stalker rp servers, or worse the DayZ ones, you'll find that you end up with an extremely high player attrition rate that leaves only sperg ass redditors playing by extremely strict made up rulesYour best course of action is for each faction to be made on their own with the tools given to the creators to determine how they want it to run.Like a government building game- deciding if you want super strong psuedo dictatorships or extremely open democracies.That way if someone starts acting up you can deal with it internally.
>>496249045Is that why it's crap?
>>496254424depends on your definitionI like it because at it's core it's more fast paced than later installationsI always have more luck in early game sprinting up to enemies behind cover and head shotting them than sitting back and plinking
>>496253702stalkerz is now letting players make up factions themselves or player-made groups. whatever.as if the "wolves" wasn't bad enough, I mean two separate Loner factions? just say you donated bruh

I haven't played that personally. im the faggot from earlier I've only fucked around on non-stalker inspired stalker-esque servers because the Stalker DayZ mod white list thing was so painfully fucking autistic that while reading it's rules a couple years ago I wanted to dig my eyes out with spoons.But yeah in essence having the ability to freely make your own factions (or sub-factions) is more akin to how the zone would operate IRLIs it smarter and safer to make a four-man group when things like Duty or Freedom exist? Fuck no. Is it going to get your richer on an individual level? Possibly.(Itll also be more fun for a group playthough)It harkens back to games like EVE or BDO.
>>496258027What do you mean?... It's supposed to do this?
vanilla SOC, i just noticed in my pda i apparently have 1 monolith expert kill, but I have never even been to the barrier and i don't recall killing any monolith? the fuck?
>>496260308Have you fought at the Arena? In the final fight you and four NPCs fight to death and to make them fight each other, and not just you, they were assigned to different hostile factions, one of which is Monolith. The others, I believe, are Military, Merc and a Bandit.

what's the best way to play MISERY? unironically>inb4 not playing it
so today i learned that artifacts respawn in clear sky. i recently started replaying it and have already spent almost 5 hours in the swamps, and about that much time after picking up an artifact, it respawns. time to spend another hour or two waiting for all the other anomalies that had artifacts to generate new ones.
>>496326485how is it? checking the comments put me off a little, people saying theres bugs like bodies despawning right in front of you and shit like that.
>>496329036its been fun so far the bugs only get bad in condensed areas. its basically mega faction wars mode with 30 different factions. the sad thing is the groups arent very unique i was hoping for some more ridiculous factions like the time travelering nazis from new arsenal
>>496327419a mod for the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
>>496327285i like that they brought back cut factions but i dont like that they made them low level monolith goons
>>496327285seeing the tattoo in real life makes it look even more like an edgy cult than in game
>>496327285>>496330648the funniest thing is that this patch design isn't even actual cut content, gsc didn't create it, some random dude from a russian role-play forum did years ago.
>>496329036it's dumb but also fun shootannew factions are also pretty dumbounty system is very poorly implementedand game gets very unstable towards endgame (presumably because it has trouble controlling 4500+ npcs across the whole zone)
>>496331297>pickek>>496331258imagine being that guy and seeing and seeing a guy having that on his arm forever
>>496331727>and seeing and seeingokay i might be retarded
In a freeroam mod what is your ideal endgame? Whether it has been achieved by a mod/game or not.Early game>shit guns, no ammo>shit gear, no bullet or anomaly defense>shit or no detector, hard to make moneyThe early to mid game is built around avoiding encounters with anomalies, dangerous mutants and bandits. The purpose of it seems to be to build a good enough loadout and ammo reserve to not avoid those encounters and that's all? If the zone were a real place once a stalker is at top tier like that, you think he would make X amount of money until retiring, or stay until they died just because they love the lifestyle and so on. But in a game, what is the goal / motivation once you've reached endgame gear??t. Seva suit and 140k rubles in IWP. I just keep starting iron man playthroughs and doing random crap, died 4 times before I realised you can turn off helicopter spawns.
>>496328095
i dont recognize anythingam i retarded or is the map retarded
>>496332892it would be cool if you got to a certain reputation level/ranking that people would send hits on you for money, kinda like how you can get hired by snitch to kill the master stalkerbut yeah freeplay is mostly boring if youre not RPing or enjoying yourself
>>496338092rostok is recognizable, but that's about it.

New analmeme version released. I dub it the GSC ass kissing version because that's all it is.I wonder how many mods it breaks. Also real scummy of them to remove download links of old versions.
oh no, not my precious freeplayslop!
>>496357196kek where's the schizo crying it was fake a few days ago? fuckin faggot retard
>>496357568i dont particulary care but breaking mods just because you wanna fix some bugs haphazardly so the update isnt just licking GSCs boot and removing old download links is a shit move
>>496357568>muh russian teenage fanfic story>muh scripted events>muh buildoKys, the fact freeplay attracts the lowest of the low retards doesn't change the fact it's pure Stalker gameplay that you can customise. What, you don't like Stalker?
>>496363140>that you can customiseno amount of mods could fix a shitty fanfic story
>>496244179The guy you replied to is just playing in ultrawide (21:9). The other faggot was doing it so that his ragebait would load slower and take up more of your screen if you hover over it with 4chan X. Must be some new /v/ermin shitposting tactic.
>>496364896>and take up more of your screen if you hover over it with 4chan Xi turned that shit off. annoying
>>496363140it has no substance, it's an amalgamation of uninspired events and features that trivalize the stalker setting by reducing it to repetetive theme park>>496363786also this
>>496328095Do the same artifacts respawn or are the spawns randomized?
>>496367278After you play the trilogy and realise most story mods are fucking cringe, theme park is all that's left, for me A-Life keeps it interesting and if it wouldn't, I'll just go out and do gardening lolFreeplay has it's place, don't hate it because of Tarkov troglodytes from r*eddit and yt comment section
>>496368687each anomaly cluster has specific artifacts it can generate, usually two or three variants, so it's randomized, but not completely, because it's based around progress - you won't find a goldfish at the swamps, or a jellyfish in the red forest.the respawn system is also kinda retarded in cs, because in order for the artifacts to reappear, you need to spend 2 in-game days in a given location, so almost 5 hours. if you leave the location, the countdown pauses, and no matter how much time passes, the artifacts won't respawn until you return to the location and wait out the remaining time.
>>496370464I don't hate it, I just find it shit the same way I find vasyankas shoehorning xenomorphs, predators, deathclaws, all the thing that stick out in general without an ounce of subtlety shitzoomers, thirdworlders and milsim rejects have the least to do with it
>>496371380that is a very retarded respawn system
>>496371380>you need to spend 2 in-game days in a given location>if you leave the location, the countdown pausesThat is so retarded. Literally makes the whole feature pointless since most players will not spend a whole two in-game days in a single location.

Repair Kits Revamped appreciation post. Hands down best repair mod ever made for SoC. Instead of just using an item or traveling to a repairman, RKR lets you salvage weapons and armor for spare parts which can be used to repair gear. This adds a lot to gameplay, for example the player might now hunt down zombied stalkers as easy targets for their weapons in order to salvage them.

>i've been waiting for ray of hope for almost a decade now>gsc is going to release some sloppa sequel that will at the very least significantly slow down the modding scene of the original trio and might even kill it outrightIt's not fair.
>>496360634Couldn't anyone who has the 1.5.1 version just reupload it somewhere?
>>496370464Yeah, I have no idea why people here suck off OP2 or Goldensphere. It's literal trashcan dumpster fire garbage written by retards. Not to mention full of some of the stupidest gameplay (like mutant waves) and buggiest bugs. Being a janky mess doesn't make it soulful, but people here will try and gaslight you into thinking that way.
>>496464867>significantly slow down the modding scene of the original trio and might even kill it outrightwhy would it thoughFallout NV and GTA SA had very active modding scenes years after the release of their sequels
>>496465659Most modders will probably stop modding to play through the new game, some multiple times even. Some modders might quit now that a new game is out and start working on modding that game instead. It will slow down mods for the originals and analmeme guaranteed.
>iwp looks cool>shitty buggy crash filled CoC engineAnd into the trash it goes!
>>496465918who knows, maybe the harsh hardware requirements will prevent that outflow especially when it comes to eastern european modders
>Announcement made by Anomaly Dev Team: "Anomaly Dev team does not (and probably never will) endorse, support or condone any multiplayer mods. If we do, you will hear about it in the Anomaly announcement Channel, All other groups or individuals claiming to have created a multiplayer version of Anomaly should be treated with suspicion and at engaged with at your own peril."

Wait, Stalker 2 is going to have multiplayer?
>>496469559yes, just like all the parts of the trilogy. typical pvp, so deathmatch, ctf, etc. no co-op or any kind of pve.
>>496470173Oh really? Did I just never see the multiplayer option in the main menu for SoC or CoP? lolPVP with stalker mechanics seems pretty fun
>Got UNISG suit from Lukashwtf does IWP have DrX quest mod implemented? All I got is the random go to this person type quest.
>>496470353I feel like it would only be fun if GSC does interesting shit with artifacts like mods do instead of just making them stat sticks. Otherwise it's just "lol i shoot your head with vss from 300 miles away u lost to the zone"Also it's fucking retarded if they don't capitalize on the recent trend of 4 player co-op games that have been popular (monster hunter, helldivers, space marines, etc). I mean their literal poster boy for the series goes to the center of the zone with his own squad. And they sort of had squad mechanics in the original trilogy (expanded on by mods), so why can't we get co-op squads? It wouldn't hurt anyone if they just added it to the game. Deathmatch and CTF is fucking retarded especially in 2024, even CoD dropped 6v6 gameplay as it's main focus years ago. GSC is literally out of touch boomers lmao.
As someone who doesn't play CoC or Anomaly/GAMMA why would someone play the former over the latter? I don't get the point of freeplay if you aren't having to do all the scavenging and crafting stuff that Anomaly provides. What do you do when you play CoC? Just go shoot some guys for 10 minutes and then quit playing because that's the same gameplay you'll be doing for 30 hours? Anomaly/GAMMA seem to at least give you a sense of progression as you have to work on building your character up instead of just buying equipment. Can someone enlighten me on why CoC is praised, but Anomaly/GAMMA is so hated?
>>496471728i also don't play either coc or anomaly, but i guess that some people prefer to actually play the game, that is, run shoot and explore, instead of spending half the time staring at the inventory and micromanaging all the shit.
>>496471728gamma has not been updated in over 6 months and was left in a bloated and terribly balanced state so most people are leaving it for other sandbox mods.
>>496470629IWP out of the box doesn't have DoctorX's Questlines/Call of the Zone Questlines, but both of them are available as addons on ModDB.
>>496474467Gotcha. So it's just stuff to put in the random reward thing. Guessing the big 3 DoctorX quests mod isn't in IWP as well, even with the CotZ port?
not the ideal thread but i wanted to say something about metro.playing the first one and i'm not that impressed.i was aware that it was more cinematic than stalker but i wasn't expecting the literal railroading.control of my character is taken away from me constantly.enemy variety is non-existent, i'm at the library, so pretty far into the game i think and the only guns worth a damn are the AK and the 8(?) round shotgun.the other ones are rare, have rarer ammo, smaller ammo capacity in both the "clip" and the reserve ammo while not having any extra stopping power, lower accuracy and needing to "reload" twice by pumping the air tank or whateverthe upgrade system is completely worthless, none of them really change how the guns behave or feel.the cutoff between hobo phase and war machine is too sudden because it happens the second you get the above mentioned good guns since there's no inventory or armor to care about.stuff is way too scripted.for example the librarians, i wanted to see if i could kill one (which you can) but it doesn't change pretty much anything about the following encounters.i killed two and then two more showed up anyway in the next room.
>>496477363>game named after a literal subway system>didn't think it was going to railroad youLol
>>496327721>people still play misery although stalk/onion/forum revealed the mod has spyware and crypto mining trojans in it since 2016.holy fucking shit i cant believe people are still this fucking stupid. It is like still downloading TLauncher for minecraft after they got fucking CAUGHT installing viruses on people's computers.But also the moddb page for misery has so many deleted comments, hmm i wonder why.
>>496477363Never played Metro before. Is it true the dev team included ex-S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs?
>>496328095after 10 hours in the game you won't need it. Especially if youre with the loners.I already played 15 hours, didnt get into the red forest and i got tired of going artifact hunting, i think i will go straight to the ending with all the things i got. The strategy i created was:You already have infinite money by killing bandits in agroprom and selling AK's/VSS's.And for the artifacts when you finish yantar and get ready for red forest you will already have kolobok, snowflake, mamas beads, bubble and wrenched. So you only need a couple of medkits and bandages for emergencies but you are basically immortal. I use that then i jut carry more wrencheds and a couple of moonlights for the psy damage.That and the infinite ammo you get in agroprom either free from AK/NATO/Shotgun from the bandits or buy 9x39 from duty. I already carry a full VSS with 2000 bullets. a spas also full upgrade and a pmm from clear sky (PMM gang).As i have infinite money i just hoard thousands of bullets for the tank machine gun that i never used in my first playthrough and will try to do the endgame with it. I hope it makes the ending easier as when i tried for the first time i was constantly F5+F9 every 20 seconds until i got to the strelok boss fightThen i will head on to COP
>>496477952
>>496478207Yes, 4A Games was founded by ex GSC devs. Grigas jewishness led to the creation of 4A Games and the Metro franchise.
>>496477952proof?
>>496240661this guys a fucking retard stalcraft is a bullshit skinnerbox made by dumbfuck russians who talk down to their entire community any time people try and bring up how retarded and half-baked their game is. it's mildly fun up to The Bar but after that they go hard on the shittier aspects of the game and pretty much none of the things that got you hooked will factor in ever again. It is a shame that its ran by such unashamed fucktards because it definitely has lots of potential and could have been the be all end all "multiplayer stalker". instead they chose gacha tier monetization and stopping people from progressing in the name of "player retention"
>>496477363The games really improve with each releaseMetro 2033 is easily the worst. Last Light was my first one and it's pretty enjoyable, although it's still extremely linearExodus is a nice change of pace in that it's largely open-world levels and doesn't just all take place in dark subway tunnels, plus there's more you can do with equipment modification. I didn't complete it though because I encountered a pretty shocking amount of glitches which I haven't seen any reviews mention for some reason.
Save and Protect: Killer has 440 texture files in the act folder but turns out only 20 of them are actually needed for the mod. Some of the other ones aren't even used. Then some are just straight retarded. Like what the fuck is this Sidor retexture?? It's not even used by the mod.
>>496477952HONK HONK
>>496480764>Like what the fuck is this Sidor retexture?? That's Toad from the SoC builds. The proto-Sidorovich.
>>496482240I thought it was Toad at first but I didn't think the face matched. So it is Toad after all.
>be woman in the Zone>immediately get rapedWhy did they change this part of the storyline for Hip in analmeme? It's the most realistic thing in STALKER
>>496482240Rodney Dangerfield looking ass
>>496480764>>496482240>>496484445>Rodney Dangerfield looking assThat texture IS Rodney Dangerfield from Natural Born Killers, the dad who raped his daughter. His daughter then killing her family with her lover and they go on to become serial killing spree Bonnie and Clyde. That movie inspired the Columbine faggots
>>496485551I'll be damned....
I removed audio and texture files from Save and Protect: Killer which were either replacements or just fucking lumped in there for no reason and I shaved like two or three gigs off the fucking mod.
>>496480571I don't remember encountering any glitches with Exodus, but then again I played on the X1

What if GSC made an extraction/PUBG styled pvp gamemode set in the Zone? I feel like this would be way more interesting and exciting than a typical death match
>>496491828Yeah, I haven't seen anyone else really mention them so it's very possible that I just got extremely unluckyThe car on the desert level was especially bugged to hell and back for me. Nearly impossible to use.
>>496496791>what if Stalker was even more like Tarkov?
>>496497064Tarkov but with Stalker mechanics like random mutants, anomalies, artifacts, and 1000% less milsim slop, yes. It would be fun I think

>>496472973try again, chud.
Anyone have some recorded TGS demo footage?
>>496480508I appreciate this review of stalcraft, as I mentioned in the post I didnt get too far, and I expected the game to get significantly worseHowever the opening hours absolutely floored me with the ability to cooperate with friends or randoms, being able to watch people complete quests in the distance, quests that have bandits engaging loners, and so onI only say "stalcraft does it best" because there's nothing else close at the moment.The framework of a great game is there, we're so close to an actual on-line experience for STALKER.

>>496514825
>>496507942Its still freeplayslop, but I like it with the CotZ port. It has set a new standard for HD weapon pack type mods in my opinion. There is not a single weapon modell or animation that looks out of place. The weapon quantity and variety is also good.The engine also works really well, at least on my pc. They backported some of CoC 1.5s features/fixes. The mod also gets bonus points for filtering poorfags for only having a fixed DX11 render optionI would recommend to wait for the standalone release, if you want to check it out. It will be the last update. The devs said it will release this autumn

>>496548009>hex editor>injectorpick one
>>496550242Well I didn't have power for a little over a day, and it took a little over three days to get internet back. A big tree fell in my backyard and killed an apple tree I played a few years ago, and some other trees fell in my neighborhood but I don't think any real extensive damage was done on my street. Half the town still doesn't have power though. I got really lucky. There are some towns around here that were completely swept away from flooding. Fortunately we also had a generator for the fridge and freezer to keep the food fresh, and we slept with the windows open and it got down in the 60's so it was quite comfortable at night. Got caught up on some reading by candlelight. We had prepared for it, charged batteries and whatnot beforehand so we didn't lack for commodities. I even had my steamdeck going for a little bit. Again, I cannot stress how lucky I was to get through it with so little issues.
>>496551009yeah you were lucky. thats good to hear anon.my pops lives around apollo beach area, apparently it didnt get fucked too hard, though some spots didsounds stupid, but I think propery damage is one of the worst things from that.I can only imagine how fucked people would be if it werent for the technology to track weather and give people warning/time to prepare.
>>496551009Why doesn't Florida have the same infrastructure on the gulf coast as the east coast? Lived here all my life (near 29 years) and not a single hurricane that hit the east coast ever did anything really bad (I'm a 10 minute drive to the beach), yet all the gulf hurricanes absolutely wreck shit up.
>>496477363i consider metro and atomic heart to be stalker like, but i dont talk about those games much.>>496516468i started a new game in explorer difficulty i like the weapons in this game
>>496551528I honestly don't think people really understand how dangerous hurricanes are unless they've lived through one. Euros especially don't understand what kind of crazy-ass weather we get over here.>>496551594I don't know about Florida, I live in the Appalachians. Generally there isn't much concern for hurricane preparedness up here. The last bad one that came through here was Hugo and that was 35 years ago. I imagine people will be talking about Helene 35 years from now, too.
>>496551594They catch the storms at their absolute peakLiterally the entire state is at sea levelIn the short term it makes more sense monetarily to keep building cheap shit that will get destroyed than build really expensive shit that might not get destroyedThey're just used to it at this point

>want to play IWP with DocX quests>the port also ports over the shitty things from CotZ like mugging, item bloat like carrying money, etcWhy? Just the quests and dynamic anomalies/factions would have been fine. Why add all the bad shit? Mugging is the stupidest mechanic ever.
>>496559258>the shitty things from CotZ like mugginggetting mugged is shitty, but its also fucking great>item bloat like carrying moneymeh I guess that up to preference>Mugging is the stupidest mechanic ever.explain why
>>496552587borris is dead
>>496560357
>>496559258Just don't get mugged lmao
>>496559258>>496560051>>496564862I thought mugging was already in base CoC? Is the CotZ one different?
>>496565268The thing when you get knocked out instead of dying and people who shot you just fuck off taking all your stuff with them is added in CotZ, base CoC doesn't have anything like that.
>>496566279I see, I thought it's the one where you hold up a downed NPC.>get knocked out instead of dyingI always got one or twoshots so I don't think I've ever got mugged. Can you get your stuff back? How difficult is it?

>>496567176the escape
>>496567009>Can you get your stuff back? How difficult is it?AFAIK, you get an automatic quest to hunt him down and take revenge, which works the same way as any other similar quest, i.e. you ask around for his whereabouts then eventually get his general location, go there and kill him. Not sure if you also get all your stuff back off his body, but I would assume so.
>>496560051>>496564862It happens damn near every gunfight. It would be fine if it happened like once per loaded area or something, but last time I played CotZ I got mugged 4 times before I left the Cordon.The animation is also so long and the runback to your stuff is so tedious it's just easier to reload a save.

how do -x radiation artifacts work in ShoC? I've got two -10 radiation artifacts. There's that "things belonging to the anomaly victim" cache on the right of the first area, but getting near nukes me with radiation. Will these artifacts be a constant reduction in radiation received or how does that work? And will they be enough to check the cache out? Or should I wait and come back later when, I assume, I'll have a rad suit or somethingAlso, pretty sure I found the "the goods of the shooter" cache in front of the military checkpoint under the train bridge, but it's not leaving my map. I've searched around so hard for anything else but found nothing. Is that just bugged?
>>496581203>Is that just bugged?yes
>>496571962>people kept saying to not start with gamma and that's exactly why i'm playing it.
>>496329036It's not a bug, it's a feature. The game spawns so many a-life humans that they put a despawn timer on bodies to help reduce lag. But it's fine since you wind up killing so many people even if you miss a few bodies who cares. Prioritize looting people in good looking suits imo.One of the sucky things is that mutants are disabled by default, but even turning them on and they are super rare because of all the human spawns.
>>496581203Its work with other artifacts To even out the radiation It also makes you lose radiation poisoning faster than normal
>first tried playing SoC somewhere around 2012/2013>played for about 3 hours, absolutely hated it and didn't come back to it until 2017 when I'd get into both SoC and CoP simultaneously for a bit before putting them back down until last year>almost certain I didn't use any mods>have a crystal clear memory of riding out an emission with some loners in the tunnel under the road north of Rookie Village, and even remember them having some dialogue about it though can't remember what>know for a fact this wasn't actually while playing Clear Sky or CoP as I didn't buy CoP until 2017 and CS until just last year>can not for the life of me figure out how I have this memory if it is impossible in vanilla SoCThis has bugged me so much for so long. I was absolutely baffled when I gave Stalker a second chance in 2017 and realized that aside from the 2 scripted ones, there are no emissions in SoC. I actually just assumed I was getting really lucky in not encountering them since I was playing both SoC and CoP at the same time and they were a daily occurence in CoP.I know this isn't some Mandela effect creepypasta shit and I must have just misremembered something but to this day I can't figure out what I could be mixing up. The memory is so damn vivid of that specific scenario. I remembered most of the rest of my first few hours with pretty good accuracy too (I was very angry that it did not, in fact, play like a Russian Fallout 3 as some Steam comments had led me to believe, and while helping the stalkers in garbage defend against the bandit raid my guys kept glitching out and just standing there at ease getting killed without firing a shot, which was the final straw that made me uninstall.)That's my blog post. It's late and I'm sick and I felt like getting that off my chest.
>>496581203No matter how powerful your guy is. You will take heavy radiation damage in certain areas. You need vodka or antirad drugs to take it away.There is also radioprotective pills
>>496571962username checks outUPBOAT
>>496584871Maybe you watched a video of someone playing it modded and you just superimposed the memory of that video onto the memory of you playing
>>496386360Uhhh bros? Those clouds are NOT the map edges, right?
You don't realize how vulnerable anomaly and gamma is. In really its very vulnerable, like vanilla CoC or lost world series in early days. All popular projects like gamma and custom are literally monkey work, good addons like SSS are created only out of habit and the absence of a conventional unified successor (remembers the path of modding: cop - misery - owr - shoker - stcop - coc - com - addons on com - last day on com - gunslinger - anomaly - addons on anomaly - gamma) A person who can at least edit configs can completely take over all the popularity of this mods,the most important thing is presentation, you don't need hard skills to make good presentations which will instantly intercept a couple of hundred thousand, and then all the other players in Gamma. Generally saying, grok has now entered very fragile ice
>>496589842is that the stalker2 map?looks dope(good)
>>496590431Yeah, they've trimmed it a little bit, but still impressive. Looks like road to Pripyat is not covered by clouds either.
>>496559258you can turn mugging off it's in the comments of cotz im pretty sure
>>496571962This reminds me of how I started with stalker. I first learned about STALKER in 2014 or 2015 from /v/ but never really played it. In 2022 i got a random Anomaly video on my youtube. The game looked cool and I wanted to play it. I got halfway through downloading when I realized "wait, what the fuck am I doing I should probably play the actual 3 games first."
>>496534454A glorious cause, Stalker. Keep at it
>>496558234Priboi Story
why does my flashlight not work in gamma? pressing L, O, P, nothing works. not my flashlight keybind or any other keybind. took the batteries out, put them in, nothing works
>>496592950You have to have Discord sex with the entire GAMMA server first.
>>496592950you may have to replace you filament but you need a flashlight repair kit to swap out the part
>>496592950need to buy replacement lightbulbs
>>496581203>Will these artifacts be a constant reduction in radiation received or how does that work?They add a slow radiation reduction and the bigger their -value is, the faster it goes down. But even with five -30 rad artefacts you'll still be getting max radiation pretty fast in some areas, if you wear nothing but a jacket, so it's preferable to invest in a suit with high radiation protection and always carry a few antirads just in case. Although, in the early game they still can be useful to carry around to remove low levels of radiation after running through some hotspot, so you don't waste a whole antirad on it, or to mitigate the radiation from other artefacts on your belt.>And will they be enough to check the cache out?Just spamming antirads/vodka and then using a couple of medkits to heal would be enough. You don't have to wait until you get a high-end radiation suit.>pretty sure I found the "the goods of the shooter" [...] I've searched around so hard for anything else but found nothing. Is that just bugged?That particular stash should be right under the roof of the mill, like the description says. If you've already looted it before, it might have just respawned, since in SoC you can get the same stash coordinates multiple times.If it did respawn, but now it's empty, there's a bug in vanilla SoC, that deletes all the contents from a stash if you get it's coordinates while on the same map as the stash itself and then saveload even once, but it's usually fixed in most "bugfixing" mods.

do you guys think it's possible to beat vanilla shoc with the starter makarov on master? kind of bored and thinking about doing a gimmick challenge run
>>496594915I've seen people beat it with only a knife or barely using any weapons at all, relying solely on stealth. So yes, a PM-only run is far from being impossible.
>>496594915Well, it's the only correct way to play the game, so go for it.
>>496558234True Stalker
>>496594915There are certain videos on yt of which the whole premise is "Can I beat SoC/CS/Cop/ with only a [weapon]" and those videos have a big amount of clicks.I don't know if someone did SoC with a PM, but certainly give it a go, sounds fun and frustrating simultaneously
In stalker only summer is canon
does anyone know what's the deal with the dudes at the bar that tell you to fuck off if you get close in OLR? i've finished the game but not even a sidequest about them was given, maybe i missed it.
>>496598576Fully agreed bro
I have an inventory_box section in the all.spawn that I want to add some script stuff to but I have no idea how to do this. Specifically I want to spawn a mutant elsewhere on the same map when the player interacts with the inventory_box. Does anyone know how this could be done?
>>496506708the devs are beyond boneheaded. they have the potential for literally the best shit ever but squander it with their dumbfuck choices and zero desire to have a compelling game - just one that redirects people to a store page eventually. I recommend staying away, its the closest thing to a video game equivalent to a pitcher plant we have

>>496614105I was looking at that article. It explains how to use a script to spawn through dialog, which is useful, but the article doesn't cover how to spawn stuff through interacting with an object.

Modder geniuses of the thread, how possible and how difficult would it be to make the helmets I'm wearing have a breathing sound in IWP? If this was possible in AMK and Anomaly I'm assuming it's possible here somehow.
>>496106840What is it with Duty that gets schizophrenics their gears going?

>>496610893stop posting tranny twitter trash or better yet kill yourself
>>496619826So if you have one artifact and it says -5 radiation and +5impact. You would start hurting yourself wearing the artifact. Until you find another artifact that is +5 radiation or greater. It will stop the poison. Usually its in green letters for positive and red for negative.Some mods the artifact hurt you unless you have a good suit or container. And some other mods let you carry radioactive artifacts in your inventory without hurting you until you wear it on your suit or belt.
>>496636639I think i said it backwards It the + and - and the colors
>>496636639>And some other mods let you carry radioactive artifacts in your inventory without hurting you until you wear it on your suit or belt.You forgot to mention, that's how vanilla games work too, obviously artifacts don't give any benefits when they're in inventory.

>>496642931Bring back loading screens.
>>496645746i love them, modern audiences may complain, and you know gsc would never listen to usNothing beats hitting a loading screen in SoC with the preview of the next map and the warm light loading bar
>>496646795I agree. If the loading screen is interesting to look at I don't see the problem with it.
I love the soup but every single version I tried crashes my game every 20 seconds some time after I reached the Bar. Fuck this fuck I don't want to play OP
>>496642931This is the worst type of open world though. Disguising a hallway as open world is just shitty and I'd rather they just say the game isn't open world. It's like when you play an MMO, but there is invisible walls or untraversable terrain that block you from exploring a zone or going into a new zone. It's annoying as shit, which is why only old MMOs like OSRS and original WoW were good. Any instanced MMO is immediately trash as the world is literally pointless.
>>496647818I was being sarcastic about the kinoIts kino insofar as it's peak slavdev to advertise something like an open world when its really segmented worlds
>>496633641Anime name? It looks soulful.
>story mods are fanfic tier and tend to be insanely buggy, MTL sloppa, or heavily unbalanced (usually a mix of the 3)>freeplay mods, even the "good" ones (like CotZ) are boring as shit unless you have some autist level of imagination where you can roleplay while playing by yourself (which is why they do well on youtube/twitch where the creator has a script and can talk and interact with an audience)after years of playing mods I'm starting to come to the conclusion that only the actual games are worth playing and all mods that aren't just extra guns/mutants/sounds/visuals to enhance the OG trilogy are simply shit
>>496649778good bait to get mod suggestions ill save it
>>496649778Don't talk like that about OLR.
>>496649778I like a few story mods (Goldsphere, Wind of Time) but other than that really only like ones that expand on the gameplay and world of the vanilla story. More missions, more locations, better graphics, but still vanilla structure. New Game+ like
>>496650401Nta but OLR after 3.0 is cerified trash with art direction being its only saving grace
>>496628915Look for a mod that already does that and look at what files it changes.
>>496628915Shouldn't be too hard. I've never modded stalker but if you have access to scripts just search shit for breathing or gas mask and stuff like that and just copy it over to the helmet you want. I bet it's as simple as "if wearing helmet_name breathingsound = true"
>>496652836Just wait until some slav mods all the bullshit out.
>>496654027or maybe all equipable gear has a bunch of attributes and breathing sound is one of them

>>496652850I've looked at some mods that gave Call of Chernobyl and it seems like they all use actor_effects for their breathing functions but IWP doesn't seem to have that.>>496654027My initial plan was to look for how they scripted the game to give the mask overlay on helmets and then just change the overlay texture parts to be sounds but I can't seem to find anything. Maybe that's an exe thing?
>>496656434Find the breathing audio file.If you pack the mod into a winrar archive, you can use the search function to look for the audio filename and see where it pops up.

Best CoP enhancement mods? I already know about gunslinger, but what other mods exist to enhance the gameplay without taking away from the story or changing it into a new game?
Anything I can add to IWP other than CotZ? I want the game to look nicer if I can get it there, but it seems everyone on youtube is either playing it vanilla or playing it with CotZ and nothing else.

Saw this image last thread and i couldn't put my finger exactly on what was weird about Vanilla proportions because it wasn't just the big feet, so i started messing with it to figure out why. It's definitely cartoony but you don't really see it at first glance because of the bulk of the gear, once you shrink the vest you notice that:>the shoulders are incredibly far apart, broad as fuck but not really built because lack of trapezius and small neck>arms are almost comedically short, wrists don't clear the hips, guy couldn't scratch his balls if he needed to>feet are clown sized but the calves are too short to compensateit's stunningly easy to make them more human sized without really losing any of the original designs' flavor. If i could decipher what the fuck stalker 3D modelling is like i'd try it myself, make it available for the newer mods so that people can finally stop using that HD models shit.

>>496707387Does wind of time add new story things? If not, after Brain Scorcher, it's a slog through Pripyat and then a slog to the NPP followed by a slog through the NPP. If you're going for the true ending, you get another slog. Get out of here, stalker.

>>496716516>>496717389>>496722068Yes.For the last decade we have watched as STALKER and realism drift closer together, clashing as they touch. The more realistic the mod, the worse it is. Continually. Forever.

>>496762127This anon is right. I think SoC really hits that sweet spot between art direction and realism.
>>496764720Im the anon and I will concede that the art is objectively bad due to the talent of the artists of the timeBUTGSC did "country girls make do" that shit into an art "direction" as much as they could. It's a visually memorable project as opposed to maximizing realism slop.Akin to the issue today where modern shooters are softening their edges to look more like soft fortnite/overwatch SFM porn.

>>496764720you're retarded if you think SoC was supposed to be artsy and not fully realistic
>>496777991>you're retardedyeah no shit
>>496777991dudes born after 2001 think art style and realism were opposite things and not one in the same for games back in the era when any kind of advanced lighting effect, shaders, color mixing, material properties, etc were cutting edge and experimental. SoC's lighting effects are still fucking amazing because they're so detailed and dynamic despite the limitations of the day. A random flashing light on a lab that creates stark shadows is something most games would just bake into a level but Stalker peppers them everywhere. And as a world it IS realistically designed wherever you look, all guns have textures taken from photos(especially in early builds), the locations and scenery are almost 1:1 to the real zone, the skybox is a very specific Ukrainian skybox, etc. The game stopped being a fantasy land after it moved out of the Crimea setting.
>>496782636Wait that's what the area in the exclusionary zone looks like in real life?
>>496783232yes
>>496783232For the most part, yes. Although it's changed a lot since the early 2000s.
>>496764720me on the left above the hood of the truck
>>496784325hang in there anon
i always smile when i remember that bandits call stalkers faggots in clear skyimagine if that would reappear in stalker 2
>>496782636>the locations and scenery are almost 1:1 to the real zoneNot at all. Until CoP the Zone was a loose patchwork of various Eastern Europe inspired places which do include some of the actual Zone although the developers took many liberties to alter their locations, layouts and overall appearances (like SoC Pripyat).
>>496786673being under microsoft, the game will be very sterile, so the odds are close to 0%
>>496784092a fair few of these are not SoC
So who is really working on STALKER 2 ? I'm intuiting that the different atmosphere and tone of CS/CoP can be explained by the devs who left for 4A Games. So i'm expecting STALKER 2 to be everything except a true successor of SoC, maybe i'm wrong. I even doubt that CoP/CS devs are back in GSC
STALKER 2 already got delayed by one war, if these israel/iran niggers wanna nuke each other they better leave the rest of us out
Is it normal for guns to jam this often in Stalker: SOC? This weapon's condition gauge is roughly at 70%. Are there other factors that lead to more frequent jamming?
>war in the ukraine memoryholed everything bad about S2 and nuGSCElaborate plot by none other than Griga himself
>>496798642I did not get memory holed, I simply did not followed the story
>>496798642outside of the nft shit what was bad about stalker 2 again?
>>496797798AP ammo degrades your weapon faster
>>496799606But that should show on my weapon gauge right? I shouldn't be jamming this much at 70%, should I? I'm using regular 5.45mm ammo in that clip.
>>496799415Everything that i don't like
>>496799723Is it purely vanilla SoC?
>>496799415It's O N I O N S
>>496803889With ZRP but I haven't changed any of the flags to alter any of the game's attributes. I only have it to reduce crashes.
Was Road to Limansk absorbed into SRP?
>>496797798Yes anything under 85% will jam often
>>496799415It's not like le hecking tark- I mean, like the hardcore realistic survival mods for navy seals veterans such as myself (don't fuck with me kiddo)
>>496745997easy to make up an argument that wasnt the point. and nobody argued it because nobody cares. we've been over this
>>496758338same.people would rather spend the energy complaining and shitting on a mod versus figuring out how to adjust shit to non-absurd levels.

>>496797798>playing with crosshairs and non-ads firing even though you have a scopeDisgusting, I'm glad your faggot gun jams a lot.
As a newfag to the series, I finally got around to finishing CoP and I was honestly disappointed by the ending. I was looking forward to the sweaty tryhard shit I had to do to get through the ending of SoC. The story was overall boring and the underground sequences weren’t nearly as eerie. The only reason I could see people calling CoP the best in the series is because of the more open world approach. That plus mods. It’s better than CS I guess.That said, what mod/mods should I play that provide a story that captures the eeriness and soul of SoC?
>>496823405crosshair in base game or non realism mods is fine stop being a faggot
>>496823702>captures the eeriness and soul of SoC?Anon... I...Through my long adventure with STALKER I've found no mod that would capture the same feel as playing SoC for the first time in 2007, but the closest ones were OLR 2.5 and Goldsphere, but I wouldn't recommend them to any newfag. Try your descend into jankyness with Lost Alpha, it isn't stellar, but after years of patching and some forks it can be good entry point. There are also mods like Shadows Addon or OGSR, but they are overhauls which retell the story you already know with some extra steps and content.
>>496823875No it's not, it looks like shit and is stupid. Stop being a newfag tourist
>>496824789Is there anything that expands in the otherworldly nature of the zone? As in people try to create things and creatures in there other than what’s already been described in the base game? It felt really repetitive to kill 100s of the same creatures, dogs, and zombies that I was already introduced to in SoC. It was my understanding that the zone was of such an otherworldly phenomenon that you could encounter literally anything. There’s so much potential for strange and terrifying creatures to crawl out of the swamps, but the scope of things you could run into felt limited, like they stopped having unique ideas by CS.
>>496784092Where is that stadium section from? Or I guess its a stadium, looks like rows of benches with an announcer's booth or box behind it. Can't say I remember that location from either SoC or CoP.
>want to play some stalker>don't want to bother downloading 30gigs of shit and then painstakingly trying to install everything in the correct order and hoping it all works with no crashes>pc wont be able to run stalker 2 on launchI'm in quite the predicament
>>496741013>>496742385Coolspeaking of knives, when I started playing OLR 2.5 a few weeks ago the vanilla knife pissed me off so I decided to fix it. the knife smoothing and the animations for idle and drawI did the same for vanilla soc, but didn't touch the animations. OLR's were shittierits all here if anyone wants it. along with an alternate black texturehttps://mega.nz/file/gVAzQA4I#PXsDFxKbJawUBxzR82b3MRLy8TUbGC3UKOdzaeipz8k

>>496827276no you're the newfag tourist
>>496827276
>>496837036Nope, back in 07 if you posted yourself playing with crosshairs on and on any difficulty other than master you were the laughing stock of the thread. Same has been true for forever until analmeme somehow warped your mind into thinking crosshairs off is "le hurdcore miseryfagging". It's always been the preferred way to play, because the crosshairs are massive and ugly.

>>496828083It's the stadium in SoC Prypiat, that you have to go through to get to the CNPP. You might not remember it because if you enter it from the wrong point (main entrance) a cutscene starts with the camera flying over the stadium and in its flight it accidentally hits the level change trigger, so you instantly get teleported to the CNPP and don't get to see the place for yourself. You can avoid it by using the side entrances instead.
>>496846420>You might not remember it because if you enter it from the wrong point (main entrance) a cutscene starts with the camera flying over the stadium and in its flight it accidentally hits the level change trigger, so you instantly get teleported to the CNPP and don't get to see the place for yourself.i never even experienced this, they shipped the fucking game like this?
>>496806008>le hecking tarkWhat could have been...
>>496850882NTA but all jokes aside, it'd be a great multiplayer game if it weren't for the players. I don't mean the cheaters either.
The worst part about the community (or more specifically the youtubers) enjoying freeplay mods like Anomaly or the modpacks we all know is that most of them seem to even lack the basic autistic necessity that I believe is needed to enjoy freeplay, which is being able to "roleplay" to a degree because else the freeplay just gets boring as fuck way too quickly, especially given how much these people play these mods. Most youtubers I see making videos with only freeplay mods don't even give their newly created character a name. They constantly talk about immersion but can't even be bothered to give their character a name. There's almost never any backstory they come up with, or really even a story of any kind. No goals, no dreams, no reasons they come up with themselves for why they are playing a random nobody stalker in the Zone. They just go kill the bad guys, loot the artefacts, do the questlines that are present in their modpack and then stop playing when they get bored. I'd assume to enjoy freeplay at least you would need some sort of creativity in your brain to make yourself not bored out of your mind but it seems these people really are soulless husks only drawn to "MUH GUNPLAY" coming from Tarkov and other milsim games.
>>496853815It's also telling when most of these people, like Drewski for instance, keep making videos on it but it's always a new start. Sure some people try to do full playthroughs (I never see anyone get much farther than brainscorcher before they stop uploading), but most of them keep uploading videos of completely fresh start characters over and over and over. Watching someone fumble around with a makarov and spend 2 edited hours until they get a basic tools and then the video ends is boring as fuck
Installing IWP is a pain in the ass. Why is it using JGSME instead of MO2 and why is it all in Russian? Why when I enable the english translation the launcher is still in vodka runes?
>>496855887You can change the launcher language in the top right.
>>496853815Based. They are NPCs and wouldn't pass the breakfast question.
>>496855887I used neither. its not a pita at all, you're just so reliant on shit like MO2 or JGSME you can't just do shit the easy way

Anyone knows how to get the psi helmet in IWP? It's not in Sakharov trade and there's no dialogue option to buy it.
>>496860728You'll get it once you progress the story enough.
>>496850882kek. they could show up in stalker 2, but i doubt it.
>>496280764I'd die there, so would everyone else who went.
>>496860829Wait fuck I forgot to add this is also with the CotZ port so the "main story" is just the go to X and talk quest stuff.
>>496861097Keep following the """main""" questline, which is marked with the yellow marker in the PDA.
>>496861097Yes, in CotZ you can only get a psi-helmet when you receive a quest to turn off the X-16 emitter from one of these "Talk to X" quests. Most often it's your faction members, who give it. You can only get it after completing a similar quest to get X-18 documents, I think. Keep in mind that all the quests you get from "Talk to X" are randomized, so you may not get these particular quests for a while, even if you meet the requirements, unless you're willing to savescum in front of the questgiver.
>>496862228>>496862709Thanks bro. That sounds good enough, even if it might need some RNG.Going to X-16 without the emitter quest first feels wrong, desu.

Hello again /sg/. A few of you might remember me talking about upgrading the C-Con mod spreadsheet at the start of this year, but I was a lazy fucker and only got it done today. The main improvement is that it should look a lot better and every mod has a description written by me, so that you aren't looking at ~170 random mods without any context. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk/edit#gid=0

>milsimfags find out about the original story from a modern modI guess it's better than nothing
>>496871867add this shit to the next OP
>>496875967I can’t understand what prevented them from directly taking the models and animations from stalker. Cubic models look disgusting and ridiculous. Take a look at Project Cataclysm, this is what Stalcraft should be like.
>>496899145It sucks that anomaly community didn’t port the SoC story to the anomaly for 3-4 years. Now it should probably be easier with the advent of shadow of multiplayer, because xrmpe is based on CoP, same as anomaly

So why should someone waste their time on shitty buggy stalker mods? You're just as brainwashed as monolith.

I know I can just talk to them to fix it, but damn that's annoying as hell. No unstealth, no follow me, and no "be aggressive" commands is retarded.
>>496976381forgot image IWP/CotZ btwalso goddamn these holicopters are spawn camping me and already killed 3 of my companions
>>496957927>iirc its being said when you take artifact from them as ransom item that you deliver to bandits, but then you sell the item and bust guy out by forceNah, Torba says this line no matter what even before offering to save their friend, simply being suspicious of the player, so you can only talk to his buddy Grizzly and take the quest from him. Only when you do get Mityay back, he starts talking with you and apologises for not trusting you at first.>>496976381>>496977310Not sure about IWP, but CotZ, as most other CoC derivatives, has keybinds for those commands, that you can customise in the Options. https://litter.catbox.moe/pztn6j.jpgThere's also an option to disable helicopter patrols.
>>496951239>disliking modern slop is… le POOOOOOOL
>trying to get anomaly custom>drama about russia vs ukraine>don't know if I want to stand with /k/omrades or with nazisThey are both so based, how do I choose?
>>496918772Just realized, am tard.
>>496970274and people still have fucking issues because they couldn't read the instructions on what buttons to press
>>496977310>click wait here>it changes to follow me
>like anomaly gwafix>like IWP/CotZ gameplay>see a lot of anomaly mods actually work with IWPAlright, what can I frankenstein together to get close to anomaly level lighting, textures, etc? Should I just try reshade first as that probably does most of the heavy lifting?
>>496980384It does not liar
>>496977310>>496980384>>496980587>liarno Uyou have to exit the menu then go back into it>PIC

>>496983542well that sucksload an earlier save?
>>496984045All 8 of them died to the helicopter before I could load a new zone after turning off the spawn in the settings. I looted all their bodies.
>>496984484welp RIPpour some vodka out for ya dead homies
Someone from the XIV reshade community needs to get autistically into stalker modding so they can take a look at the LUTs and shaders used by mods and make proper lighting. They are the only game community that seems to know how to use reshade lighting and color grading properly. Every other community is like a bunch of children that think bloommaxxing, washed out ambient lighting, and high contrast = good looking.I say this as a XIV gooner that takes a lot of gpose pics of my catgirl, but I don't know anything about reshade myself.
>>496987293>I say this as a XIV gooner that takes a lot of gpose pics of my catgirl
>started playing NA 7, my first soup mod>notice stalkers dragging bodies behind buildings or bushes after firefightsalright this is cool
>>496987784I will never find love irl, so I marry my own catgirl instead
>>496951239Great refutation faggot. I bet you preordered.
>>496978321So much drama around it, and they are russian radicals, at that point I would't be suprised if they start sneaking malware in there in retaliation for all the assblasting and pro-ukr fundraisersProbably not though, but I'm steering clear of itWould like to know what vegetation mod they use though
>want good graphics, good gunplay, and a fun story>can only choose 2Freeplay mods have the best weapons, but are boring soulless shit, even Call of the Zone. There is no sense of progression or anything, just mindless meandering. Story mods tend to not put too much effort into either the graphics or the guns, probably because they focus entirely on the story, but some have good guns and some have good graphics but none have both. What do
>>496987989I could love you anon....
>>496989270A logical thing to do would be to make a story mod yourself (or port an existing mod to a freeplay mod), in all honesty. Also the western community would benefit from its own story mods, in all honesty. The western community is either consooming existing mods or only making freeplay/vanilla+/graphic mods
>>496989847I am not of the penis loving variety
>>496988346>>496978118it's the whining about "niggers" (literally where? and who cares?) and "women" that outs him as a /pol/tard.nothing to do with "LE MODERN SLOP", which is a meaningless buzzterm anyways.
