>>560433723Weird to hear someone who isn't an ESL talk about stalker let alone with a goofy midwestern accent
>>560397994Since the repos for the three games are dead and empty, I think they should be removed. They could easily be replaced with the C-Con mod spreadsheet link, plus it would open up space for new stuff to be added, like OLR 3.0 for example.

This is what happens when you die in VoA and still hit the level changer for X-18.
I fear the day when the official netflix stalker series will be confirmed.
>>560463204i hope it's gonna be as epic as this movie https://youtu.be/1gwNrYJ5VKM
>>560463204My biggest pet peeve with Stalker related movies/films/whatever is that they go one of two ways. Either they do the super safe tacticool route with just a sprinkle of horror if any at all or the same cookie cutter Loner stories we've seen a billion times. Stalker is not about all that, Stalker is abstract, otherworldly, mysterious with a touch of Sci-Fi. I dont mind having more context and in-depth narratives but i feel like trying to explain everything and seperating factions between good and bad guys is not the right way to go about with Stalker. Unfortunetly, even GSC now has strayed into more generic narratives that are easily digestible or at least more broadly accessable so that people dont get too lost/bored and leave.
Cheeky.

well that interestinglots of "operatives" floating around, need to be culled.>>560594094I second this.but its annoying as shit because whats the fucking point of individual IP bans then.my ISP has dynamic IP's but its not like it changes often and I dont use a vpn.I swear its just them being lazy or something.
>>560599645I use mobile data and I generally switch between 2 IPs from my provider. On occasion, I will get a ban notice from some post that was made 4+ years ago on a board I've never even frequented. Clearly wasn't me. I just switch to the other IP and all seems ok. It can be frustrating, but wtf can you do?

The exosuit from 2011 stalker 2 looked badass
>>560608731Maybe if you're blind in one eye and drunk on moonshine. Looks stretched and gimped. I'm actually kinda glad the 2011 release didn't happen. Still mad the UE4 release didn't happen though. That shit looked cash.
>>560609356The aesthetics of the 2011 build reminds me of metro last light
>>560611116From what I've seen of the 2011 build, Metro series looked far superior.
>>560611206What do you think of the 2011 bloodsucker model?

>>560626010https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865444911
>>560631038Yeah, that looks pretty retarded.
>>560608381>unnecessary
>>560634197looks pretty much the same but with a more human head and features.which makes sense, they are humanoid.the general origin theory is they are humans, altered by experimentation, and/or altered by the zone like everything else
>>560634197>WAAAAZZUUUUUUUUUP
>>560634197that pose does not help
>>560634980>more human head and featuresI think that's the thing, it leans too far into realism. Kinda like that Sonic movie a few years ago where they tried to make Sonic look realistic and it just looked uncanny valley as fuck.You are right, though. Looking at the SoC renders it is similar.
>>560642049I think that's just a default pose they take.
hello I was browsing gog mods and I noticed stalker gamma can be played over the original game or the enhanced remaster, which is considered the best way to play it?
>>560649249they're the same thing because gamma is on anomaly engine. pretty sure what gog means is that you can get gamma by owning either the originals, or the remasters.
>>560649249They're both the same as gamma uses its own textures, animations, etc.
>>560650064k, thx
>>560644370what
>>560649249Install GAMMA.Play Clear Sky.Buy Stalker 2 Deluxe Edition.
>>560626010It just looks like Far Cry 2. That's exactly how I remember foliage and shadows looking in that game.
>>560608381>dlc doesn't count b-because I say soretard
>>560594094Over the years I got a few 'you are banned for this post' whenever I was on a certain cell tower, only for the post I didn't make to be some gay fagshit. Dickposting to blue boards etc.
>>560600417This. It will be a post to a board I have never even been to too.
>>560634197>>560644370I preferred the SoC blood suckers over the CoP ones. They just seemed scarier in SoC. Dunno, maybe I'm just imagining things that aren't there.
>>560469023Cute
I know Escape From Pripyat is not particularly a popular thing here, but it was announced today that a new update is coming - after a 2 year long hiatus.https://youtu.be/wnxtB489p1g
>>560666973I have a horse and some horse armor to sell you
>>560673385But they looked the same, unless my memory is failing on me.
>>560695949Why do the guns sound like we're listening to them over a 40's HAM radio?
>>560711243no idea. maybe it's supposed to sound like you have ear plugs or something.
>>560711243he recorded the video without the vanilla anomaly sound fix or even worse and made the bug something permanent
>>560695949Looks good
>>560711243Could be due to headsets like in Tarkov that reduce the volume of sounds and changes the frequencies so you can hear more at once and further. Other than that I can only assume the sound mixing is off.
>>560695949Are there DDL links for this mod?I'm not going to bother having interest in mods that hide behind joining Discord. Especially with the age verification bullshit they are now partaking in.
Stalk her 2.
>>560673385>>560706323There are slight differences, like the SoC bloodsuckers having red eyes.
/sg/ has been quieter than usual these past few days.
>>560560845I really hope the AOE guys will make their stuff work with this, having 100avg FPS and good frametimes with everything cranked up is just too good to give up for dlss
>>560746778they're pretty good at making things compatible, recently they got AOE to work with PiP scopes. when SSS24 comes out they'll definitely work it out
>>560743937there is shit going on in the world if you haven't noticed
>>560732361i can grab the links from discord for you if you want, they're just google drive links. but the current version of EFP is old as fuck and nothing like what's shown in that new trailer.
>>560747672You telling me half of /sg/ was posting from the middle east?
>>560743937the recent schizo and avatarposting drove many people away i assume
>>560749653Yeah, I think so too.
literally at the bottom of page 10, fucking grim
>>560761084We will persevere.An anon mentioned moving the general to /vr/. Might not be a bad idea, actually.
>>560763056>2008>retrono no no no no no oh god no no no no.....
>>560763746Gamestop just declared the PS3 and Xbox 360 as retro consoles. We're getting old, my friend.Anyway, I'm not sure if it's possible, since /vr/ only allows games released in 2007 or earlier. According to those rules, CoP doesn't fit.
>>560764156>Gamestop>not retardedpick one
>>560748323yes exactly that.half of 4chans user(SPAM)base is cowering in their bunkers
>>560767840PS3 and X360 are older now than the NES was when it was considered retro. You may now cope and seethe.>>560702669Concession accepted.
VoA is pretty cool but the jank is unreal.>>560768771Lol, good point.
>>560747810Do you know when the update is being released? If you wanna share the new release links when it drops, that would be appreciated.
i might be a hoarder
>>560782937no clue when it's coming out yet, but i will post links here for download when it does,.
>>560785474Awesome, thank you
>>560769341>PS3 and X360 are older now than the NES was when it was considered retro.good thing that is irrelevant to what I saidyou can continue coping and seething about??
>>560666973Extremely weak DLC, hence why people refer to it as "cutting room floor" since it just seems like some little sidequest that was unfinished. I really wouldn't be surprised if it really was some unfinished quest. It also took them a full year to release that tiny DLC too.Of note too is the upcoming DLC is labelled as being "the first DLC" in their announcement from December and they called Untold Stories a "Content Update" instead, so technically that Untold Stories thing didn't even count as DLC to GSC themselves.
hello?

How do you logically explain that not a single person recognizes the player as Strelok in SoC?
>>560809886iwp?
>>560828058strelok? who are you talking about?did you just come back from the pripyat all brain scorched?
>>560829654The legendary stalker known as GUNSLINGER.
>>560830564>The legendary stalker known as TAGGED.ftfy
>>560392943>I already did this months ago. no you can't have it.big sad
>>560828058various characters tell you that they have only heard about this strelok guy but have never actually seen him themselves, including sidorovich. he was also injured and in a coma and has a default slav face #69, so it's not like he would be very recognizable after a year.
>>560834297why are iwp guys cunts to anyone porting anything IWP to anywhere else?
>>560809886>IWPanon posting againis the enabled magnifier still an attachment or have you scripted it to have an animation>>560834678overblown ego, because they are the only high quality and consistent weapon pack (besides Gunslinger) that was also the fist to add shit like physical ammo casings, weapon states for different reload animations and other things. They want people to acknowledge all that work, through playing it in its original form, since people port their work only partly/poorly. I also don't really get why they are such bitches, though they mostly were throwing a fit at anomaly ports
>>560695949>weapon wheelswhy do we need this shit for PC games, is clicking more than 2 buttons too complicated for zoomers
>>560836465>overblown egoReally pathetic when modders go down this path. Mods are by the community for the community, why would they actively try to halt modding progress?
>>560839441it's just anti anomaly autism i thinknlc improved and advanced weapon pack both port iwp weapons and iwp devs have no beef with them afaik
>>560838218no fucking idea desu, but i like the normal wheel for selecting ammo types
Jackpot! Found a The Heart of the Oasis!
>>560845543Cool! Can we have a look?
>>560828058Could have worn a gas mask or face covering. Also adding to >>560834654 that a year is a long time in the Zone. I don't think his group really made that many enemies outside of Clear Sky either, it's not like he was robbing people left and right and getting everyone's attention even if he was 'notorious'.
>>560839441>>560839813It'll end up in GAMMA and everyone will say Grok invented all of it. That's why.
How to cheese Toppers, for Legends who hang out in friendly bases, without losing reputation
Is there something like Gamma for CoP, but without the giga-over-autism, and just regular mega-autism?I'd like a seamless open world and with more stuff to customize or raid, but needing multiple healing items for a minor leg wound, and not being able to save except at a spot ten minutes down the road is kinda lame.I want the gun customization and part stripping, the faction picking, all of the random quests, etc. But some things are just TOO tedious for me.
Since people are talking about weapon packs:In the new EFP update, all classic anomaly weapon packs like BaS will be removed and replaced with EFP's own weapon pack.This weapon pack has been in the works for years, and unfortunately, due to the project being started before 3DSS (3D Shader Scopes) was made, it will not be compatible with 3DSS. The good news: 3DSS developer has already announced that they will make compatibility with EFP 5. But for a while, people will have to play with 2D scopes.Further details and showcase of EFP's own weapon pack will release soon.>>560695949
>>560864028This has to be bait at this point. I don't even play gamma but I know that you can disable all the things you complained about.

>>560864028You can play gamma and turn off the health system and saves system, and you could turn on the black market mod if you want to buy guns and armor (they are retardedly expensive for balance reasons)another choice is zona where you can turn off the health system too, but the item bloat there is retarded. at least you can buy guns and armor and the modpack runs really well with way less crashing than gamma though.instructions for gamma tweaks: https://pastebin.com/XwuL1Yx0
>>560865841kek
>>560864846I didn't see anywhere to do that when I went through the settings. Was it in the mod organizer?
>>560866115>guns and armor>normal items in the stalker universe>expensive for """"""""""""""""""""""""""""balance""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" reasons
>>560867382i'm with you on that part, it makes no sense. zona will be much preferred over gamma once they clean up the item bloat. or well, maybe iwp will be the thing to play again with new update and port.
>>560864028That's regular Anomaly you dingus.
>>560871639>you dingus.How am I supposed to know? I came and asked so that I would know.
>>560866667Yes, disable the mods you don't want in the mod organizer.>>560871639Anomaly was never meant to be played "vanilla". It always set out to be a base for modification. What I'm saying is you're a bigger dingus than him for even suggesting "regular" anomaly.
>>560877532Alright, so I just reinstall the 150gb thing, then go check through the mod organizer for which ones I don't want?Which ones are the ones that make it tedious? I assume I can just fully uninstall them to cut down the filesize after installation.
>>560877652>reinstallWhat? Why?>which ones make it tediousFigure it out for yourself.>fully uninstall themYes, you can right click an individual mod in the organizer to completely delete it.
>>560877652look at this pastebin for what to disable brother. >>560866115
>>560878357>What? Why?I got fed up with it and deleted it the other day. Then I realized I could just ask here.>Figure it out for yourself.Nah.>Yes,K.>>560878445Alright, I'll give it a shot later. Had to leave my pc running overnight to eventually install everything. Not even download, just install using that green installer thing.
It's crazy how much better Stalker 2 would be if they kept the spelling as Chernobyl. Chorn is so fucking cringe CHORN CHORN CHORN I'm gonna CHORN. Dungeon Crawler Carl ass shit.
>>560877532Tell me where the devs said anomaly wasn't meant to be played out of the box and I'll believe it, otherwise you're full of shit.
>>560878617>modifying Grok's visionDon't fucking do this.
>>560879540eat shit grok! *installs 100 more mods on top of his slop*
>>560879540I'm sorry, anon. But I really don't want to have to walk everywhere because a slight graze to my leg causes me to bleeding if I sprint, and the fix requires a 700ru bandage and 900ru whatever the fuck the leg medicine was.
>>560880273>get grazed in arm>bandage to stop bleed and "temp" heal>take pills to "perma" heal >get dizzy from pills>take caffeine tablets to remove dizzy>get thirsty from tablets>drink dirty water>get radiated from water>smoke cigarette to remove rads
>>560882670Even worse, the medicine only healed like 25% of the bar. So I'd need multiple rounds of the pills.
>>560883453healing is absolutely fucked before you craft stimpacks and such
>>560883831I'd understand if things like my own character's bandaging technique needed to level up.But the fact that the MEDICINE smuggled in from outside the zone is apparently just terrible is retarded.
>>560884493yeah i dont get grok's logic if he wanted a 'realistic' healing system he could have just copied tarkov's, which is exactly what i'm using for my modified gamma
>>560882670Christ, and I thought shittery/analmeme was bad enough with your character having the hunger of a 500 pound landwhale and needing to devour a meal every other time any healing item was used because somehow a fucking medkit makes you hungry and sleepy.
>>560882670This is considered fun?Sounds like a day in Hell, why would anyone want to play this?Fucking elite autism.
>>560828084Yes.>>560836465I've been affected by a rangeban. In fact, shortly after posting that webm, I was once again hit with a rangeban. My neighbors must be hardcore shitposters.The magnifier is a simple scope. The base gun model has the Eotech and magnifier (flipped to the side) baked in. Attaching the scope changes the model to the one in the webm. I do have an idea of how I might be able to animate it but I don't think the IWP engine would support it. Calling for an animation on scope attach and binding a key to "attach scope". Besides engine compatibility, I would also need to learn how to rip animations from another game and import them into XRay. For now just quickly attaching and detaching from the inventory screen works fine.Also, if you are the anon who has been patiently waiting for ASSGAYIFWIPS, I am sorry to say that it is kill (until IXRay).

>>560893497Funnily enough, IWP itself is really just Tarkov assets on Gunslinger animations. I really like the mod but the authors sure are strange.
>>560593841>>560608503>>560667461Ever since a bunch of indians moved into a townhouse on my block a few years back 80% of the time I use data I get ban popups for shit I didn't post
>>560894464>IWP is just tarkov assetsthen for anomaly, whats even the point? frosty's weapon pack is just 80 guns from tarkov and made to work on anomaly
>>560486116>>560589181day 9?? of this bullshit>mfw
>>560894464no, its not.dunno if bait but ur an idiot
>>560899417The implementation of certain reload states is pretty neat, for example the makarov and aps magazines will have varying number of bullets visible in the magazine depending on when you reload. I appreciate those details. But really, if you boil it down the pack is just Tarkov guns (edited) on Gunslinger animations (edited).
I asked this a few threads back but I forgot the answer and of course the thread is gone.Which mods have Dead City in them as an explorable area?
>>560901142no.
>>560905000Ah, I also forgot the various bits of code they "borrowed" from other anomaly mods (screen space, nvgs, etc). lol.
>>560907462no, I mean you have a vague idea what you're talking about and just making incorrect generalizations based on your limited knowledge
>>560912694Of course I am generalising. IWP isn't literally just Tarkov assets on Gunslinger animations. But, in general, it is basically Tarkov assets on Gunslinger animations. This is not a hit on the mod. It would be more inaccurate to say that IWP does not have Tarkov assets on Gunslinger animations. As the authors themselves wrote, "we have a weapon mod". What more is IWP from your deeper understanding?
>>560894464thats "lliterally" what you said.>>560894464

>>560893431>I am sorry to say that it is kill (until IXRay)grim, I don't expect IWP getting (officially) an IX-Ray release for at least 1 or 2 or even more years honestly. I was hoping to get my hands on the proper SG 550 alongside the G36, I've seen the E variant too often in many mods, but oh well.

It's a very decent game but should have been much more.Get the base game on sale or better yet just pirate it get all the goods for free. I bought the Giga Goy Delux edition and regret it because the DLC is obviously years away and the multiplayer is 100% getting cut lmao.
did anyone ever fix anomaly and it's modpacks or are they still unbearable? as in mutants immediately beelining for the player across the entire map while ignoring everything else, and even worse, automatically winning forty percent of fights because stalkers refuse to acknowledge the player
>>561151715I was really hoping he would appear in S2 as some unique boss-like mutant, imagine how much more interesting it would be than the retarded boss fights that we got.

>>561090146>poorfag continues seething about UE5 because he can't afford hardware to run it>>561151652Why is "is an official release in the series the general exists for worth buying" even a question?
>>561082430>>561083736>>561171598apparently the description of the killer was originally supposed to evoke associations with marked one, then it was planned that scar will do it in cs but that idea was quickly abandoned and some random stalker mentioned only once in some design documents was supposed to be responsible for it, and then it was abandoned altogether. nugsc came up with the idea to imply that nimble kill him for some reason.
>>561171908>Why is "is an official release in the series the general exists for worth buying" even a question?NTA but just because a game is official it doesn't mean it should be treated as a must-play in its general. Like, Thief 1, Thief 2 and to a lesser extent Thief 3 are peak vidya, but Thief 4 that was made by a different team ten years later is abysmal dogshit. I'm not saying that it's the same with the trilogy and S2, but the question of whether S2 is worth buying is justified considering the condition it was in not so long ago.

>>561234669yeah but they casualized it to sell more copieslike putting yellow paint on ladders and stairs
Playing the Mysteries of the Zone in IWP, I run into "Unknown entity", a story which seems to be part of older Stalker lore before the current lore
>>561236882>they casualized it to sell more copiesPainfully true.
Never heard of this Anomalous Dugout dude, so I checked out his channel. His iceberg videos are kinda retarded. He's talking about artifacts in breakable boxes like it's important lore. It's just standard vidya loot drop.
>>561199971>the issue has always been that Xray is a buggy and shitty mess of an engine if you don't know what you're doing.
>>561245197maybe you didnt understand what he's saying?

>>561248989>industry-wide engine that just works: >:C>buggy duct-taped engine last updated in 2009 with multiple logged issues: :O
>>561251851I'm not him, you imbecile. His iceberg bullshit is pretty much just those San Andreas video game myth videos from back in the day. Kinda takes me back, to be honest.
>>561244518my main issue with anomalous dugout is him relying on fan theories instead of thoroughly checking the developers' materials to which we have access when making videos on certain topics. like the fang's killer case mentioned earlier, he came up with a complex theory to explain it, but if he had read the design documents he could have also reliably presented what the developers actually had in mind and how the concept changed. but overall when it comes to western channels, he's one of the best creators out there.
>>561252973I agree, there's a lot of fan theories. The videos are well made, however.
>>561244518iceberg videos are supposed to be retarded because they include everything
>>561252973>checking developers materialsLike what, shit scribbled on a piece of toilet paper that ended up not being included in the game but still made its way into OLR?

>>561252715>this shit is stupid>but i lowkey fw it nglbuy. an. ad.
>>561254812i think you have no idea how many things have been leaked over the years. i'm not talking about ancient shit that has nothing to do with the final lore, but about stuff that helps to understand what gsc had in mind in the context of the actual content of the games. we even have access to bugtracker logs and the edit history of all configuration files, so if one is autistic enough, it is possible to deeply investigate all sorts of things.for example, fang's two graves. you can create various theories about that case, but you can also examine the development process and find out what was really going on. short answer, the one in the military warehouses was already present in the location before fang as a character even existed in the story and was supposed to be a cross of some random stalker with such a nickname, the fact that fang died near the village according to ghost's description is just a coincidence, and as for the grave in pripyat, completely different developers were responsible for placing it there and creating the description of the stash and they were likely not aware that there is a plot character with such a name. through such research you can truly understand why some things are the way they are and where the various inconsistencies come from.
i started winds of time today i just got done clearing the mines so far its really good
there was some xbox preview and the dlc was teased, i won't even bother to screencap or post anything, but zulu will return, there will be yet another female character because why the fuck not i guess, and we will get sks.
>>561258120oh, and svarog detector too.i wish i could get excited about anything stalker 2 related but i can't, i love the trilogy to death but this game just doesn't do anything for me, does anyone else feel the same?
>>561258358i need gsc and microdick to fuck off and let modders work in peace
>>561257372Fan theories are much more interesting than "the devs were retarded and fucked up lmao".
S.T.R.A.N.G.E.R. :OOOO
>>561257372>but about stuff that helps to understand what gsc had in mind in the context of the actual content of the game>through such research you can truly understand why some things are the way they are and where the various inconsistencies come from.
I can't wait for upcoming IWP patch
>>561265602when is it coming out!
>>561244518My main issue with him is that he's French. Other than that I have no problem since he seems to speak decent English and makes interesting enough videos.
>>561258358>svarog detector tooI thought the Veles already detected anomalies in Stalker 2?
>>561260080I always thought there were actually 2 Fang's. That's why the 2 graves.
My game over screen is poetic.
>>561257372>fang's two gravesKind of unrelated but this made me think of something. I'm a bit of a casual and don't know much about the development or 'lore' so sorry if this is a basic question. In Clear Sky you can find Father Valerian's corpse in the Red Forest, but he's still alive in the Cordon. Is that a bug/mistake or is it meant as a 'Zone doing spooky shit' easter egg?
>>561274918It's a leftover from a mostly cut concept, which was the zone producing clones/doppelgangers of stalkers.
>>561274918the developer who was behind the red forest said that it's just a silly easter egg, that corpse was originally supposed to contain a unique pistol that would be a reference to fallout but it was cut. it's strange but there's nothing deep to it. >>561275185the idea of doppelgangers was scrapped before the proper development of the game began, let alone before the character of valerian, or the red forest location, were created.
>>561275185>>561275939Good to know. I kind of like it as 'just' an easter egg. It's pretty creepy and it suits the atmosphere that it has no proper explanation, but it wouldn't be the same if there was a whole concept arc about doppelgangers. It's being a one-off that makes it extra spooky.

I'm a Stalker newfag. Recently finished the trilogy, all pure vanilla, not even community fixes were installed. I seen a lot of mods for it but it all looks like shit and doesn't fit the vision of original games, I do want to play more stalker. Is there any map expansions or enhancement mods that stay close to vanilla? All I see is those retarded giga realism simulators and people jerkin off to some cut content that was most likely cut for good reason. I just want more Stalker bros...

I have finally got my ak in 5.45 that uses western scopes (my beloved acog and reflex)The carbine 5.56 ak 102 in anomaly has swap to 5.45 in its upgrade tree. So I am using that
>>5614057905.45 is better in anomaly anyway
>>561412751yea. they make the 5.45 AP defeat level IV for no actual reason other than 'raarrrrr slav stronk' whilst 5.56 AP only defeats level III.
>>561414836are there ballistics/ammo mods that you could play with? (probably brick your save) but i like how it's balanced in gamma, 5.56 AP is better against amor, while 5.45 HP is better against mutants. not that it has to make sense irl but at least one is better than another at something
>>561414836>>561415206Modders don't want you to know this but you can edit the configuration files for ammunition however you want. Just swap the stats of 5.56 and 5.45 if you
>>561414836It could be worse, it could have a 50. BMG doing less damage than 7.62 NATO
>>561353757>Designated waifus folderGo back to reddìt, faggot
3 controllers in outskirts!!
>>561404615>pretending bugs are an unreal engine exclusiveThe last time UE was actually a problem was when it was UE3 and every game had outdated, shitty lighting and slow texture streaming. The only UE-specific issue S2 has is supporting only software lumen instead of the hardware-accelerated version other games have which greatly lessen artifacting from light bounces.

Anyone know of any other cool secret stashes hidden in the games? I know of 3 in just SoC but no others.>merc armor hidden in Rookie Village in the roof>bandages, medkits and some ammo in the house next to where you meet Fox>AP rounds for the SMG in two boxes on top of a tower in the Garbage where you fight the bandits
Vityaz or Bizon
>>561442253There's a Vintorez in one of the houses in the Army Warehouses base. It's hidden inside a steel box in the attic.This map could be of interest to you!https://stalker-map.online/map/shoc
>>561442527Based, thanks man. I'll see if there's anything new to discover.
>>561442253There's a heap of 9x39mm in the Darkscape, in the building above X-18 to feed your Vintar BC from the Army Warehouses. They're in the little lockbox things by some pipes on top of a brick furnace thing next to the stairs which take you to the second floor. In the Cordon, there's a stash of 9x18mm in a crate by the felled tree near the Army Checkpoint, not too far from where you emerge from the swamps in CS. It's good to have for use with the 9x18mm Viper 5 in the railway tunnel in the Garbage. Then the little shed thing next to where you find Tolik after exiting the Rookie Village has a crate with a PB and some other goodies. A crate in the corner of the brick building by the grain elevator also has a bandit jacket. Another crate in the second house on the left as you exit the rookie village has an artefact. There's even more that I'm probably forgetting, but those are the ones that jump to mind immediately.
>>561442629It's really amazing just how much stuff is hidden around the levels. I remember an imgur post that had even more shit but I don't have the link.
Y'all playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
>>561442253>AP rounds for the SMG in two boxes on top of a tower in the Garbage where you fight the banditsI love that, picrel. it also aesthetically pleases me greatly because those AP boxes have that golden gleam to them.If you go across the street from that point towards the swamp, inside the water you'll find loot when you press down F. I think it was some medkits, grenades and 9x18 ammo
>>561442253Not necessarily all stashes (other anons snapped them up real quick), but:The checkpoint's attic houses tons of food, some ammo, and partially-cut military armor. The armor is useless as the cutting process left them with just +5 rupture protection, but it's easy money.CNPP north features a ton of hidden armor sets stashed around that you have to take unusual paths and go down barely visible ladders to reach. It also features alternate explorable paths that involve going to the ground and accessing rooftops that aren't part of the main path. There isn't much there, but they suggest there were other plans for this area. One such rooftop has a monolith soldier guarding it that you'd never encounter otherwise, and it uniquely spawns two jumping snorks when you're on it.Pripyat contains two apartment blocks that you can enter. On each one, there is one apartment on the top floor that contains a suit of armor: One Guardian of Freedom, one Duty suit. CNPP south has mutants, the military command base, an RPG, AN94 with ammo, and working APCs, if you take an unusual route along the south side before pivoting to the objective instead of the obvious northern road the game presents to you.
>>561452691Playing project silverfish, it's pretty fun even if it's ultimately another global warming analogy by almost certainly a gay furry communist.The anomalies and some of the enemies are pretty creative and weird.
Does anyone know the name of the font that is used ingame in text (preferably SoC)? Is the font in dialogue and the font in the PDA the same? I would have to install SoC anew to check this.On a related note, if someone were to create OC/memes/Ms Paint stuff/WebMs or Gifs with Stalker content, which of those 3 fonts would you personally prefer?
>>561460793That's that furry STALKER ripoff, right? I'm not a fan of the graphics but it does look atmospheric.
>>561463795I assume GSC used the same font for the PDA as they did for dialog.As for your question, font number two.
>>561463885It's as stalker as tarkov, aka not at all. I swear, people throw "stalker-like" at everything, probably because their experience with stalker is anomaly and gamma, none of the vanilla games. It could be interesting as a postapoc survival thing, but so much of it is just complete shit.>no viewmodel arms>fetish-tier reliance on "mutant" monsters that are just guro beasts>voicelines are stock and copied from elsewhere>uses that gay retard dork souls type system where instead of loading a save when you die, you just respawn with most of your gear gone >"traits" that are just garbage like "oh you cough all the time">females just wear crop tops, no breasts>copies doom 3's flashlight system but somehow doesn't get any flak for it>also humans still exist but they're all retarded looking robots that look as skeletal and broken as the guro wendigo wannabes because clearly that's the dev's fetish>$30 for early access slop that's 90% asset flip 10% lizardmen>NO VIEWMODEL ARMS seriously even shitdevs who made gamemaker trash when lowtax was still alive could figure this out
>>561452691I finished Incubator yesterday. I liked the atmosphere and the side quests, they went for the Zone as a mystical and mysterious place, less focussed on combat. The main story was ok, few too many cut scenes. Prob going for Dreamcatcher next. Still can't get over the fact that Stalker 1984 and Land of the Emerald Dawn will most likely never come. I like mods like Goldsphere. Feel free to recommend me something in that vein.>>561463795Depends what you're using the font for m8. 1 for single words, 2 for anything else. Or use 1 for emphasis in longer text where the rest is set in 2 (only for jokes).
>>561452691i haven't played anything stalkan for like a year and a half now, still checking on /sg/ daily out of habit
>>561466521you'll come back soon enough
>>561466505>Depends what you're using the font forI thought about capturing fun or atmospheric moments in playthroughs of vanilla or various mods, turning them into gifs if possible (don't really like webms for that) and then displaying "/sg/ - Stalker General", "baking...", "bump" and the likes somewhere on it. Snork jumping at the player, the players corpse lying there or getting sucked up into a whirligig while the "Game Over" or "Lost to the Zone" message is flashing. Moments of the game that capture me or make me laugh. And I'd like those gifs or memes to be shared in this general in the future when I possibly don't even lurk here anymore.For longer text font 1 might not be suitable as I forgot to add that it has no lowercase
>>561466521>still checking on /sg/ daily out of habitI do that too, even when taking breaks from STALKER.
>>561465902Looking at the Steam page, it seems to draw some inspiration from the series.
stalker is a great franchise but I hate it's on the hands of incompetent people
Yeah, its modding scene being dominated by people like grok is really troublesome
>>561442253Toilet Groza in X-16 (first left once you enter the room where you fight the controller)Mama's Beads you find alongside "bread", "guitar" & "hand_radio" in Dark Valley (in that tall rusted structure that's radioactive next to the X-18 compound)
>>561454873Hot
>>561477035>Toilet Groza in X-16 (first left once you enter the room where you fight the controller)You're kidding. There's a Groza in there?
>>561482374NTA but how come you haven't searched that entire room top to bottom? If I go into a room where there's a boss and a very important item for progression, you bet I'm going to look into every single nook and cranny. Not bragging but I did find the groza on my first playthrough. iirc there are a few other items there too, although my last replay was a year ago so I might be misremembering.
>>561482897That's the thing, I have looked around. I even break the boxes that never have anything in them (on master). I've never seen a groza there.
>>561442253>a Stalker suit in a wooden crate behind the pipe in Streloks Hideout>a Stalker suit and 5.56 ammo in a pipe in the little alcove next to the entrance to the factory which houses the entrance to X-18>a Bulldog 6 grenade launcher and lots grenades for it in the basement of one of the houses in Bloodsucker Village (turning this in to the leader of Duty will get you a nice suit and their vendor starts selling you really nice weapons and armor)>Sparkler, Flash and Moonlight artifacts spawn at large electrical anomaly fields between 12am and 5am (notable locations are the tunnel under the rail line in Cordon, Agropram Underground and Wild Territory along the rail line and the underground parking tunnel
>>561477035>>561482374>>561482897>>561483310I'll be checking for Toilet Groza later and report back with my findings. 4-5 hours from now.
>>561442253>>561483345Also>a Viper 5 that's been modified to use 9x18 instead of 9x19 ammo on the body of a loner at the back of the train tunnel in Garbage near the entrance to Agropram
>>560939223>I'll send the meshes to you.>>561463795>On a related note, if someone were to create OC/memes/Ms Paint stuff/WebMs or Gifs with Stalker content, which of those 3 fonts would you personally prefer?The first font looks kinda jarring if it's used for anything other than STALKER. I personally like to use graffiti for stalker related stuff.Stalker 2 font looks cool and it could be nice to mix things up, but it's not as striking as graffiti (or at least it does not scream STALKER as much as graffiti) imho
I didn't know about the toilet Groza either. SoC continues to amaze.
>>561465902>no viewmodel armsMeh, kina gay I guess >fetish-tier reliance on "mutant" monsters that are just guro beastsMeh, but also all the monsters are completely non-threatening except the one that can teleport you over to it if you look at it, and the weird psychic ghost orb that mind controls everyone and fucks with your camera to stare at it because if you aren't loaded down with tons of shit you straight up outrun them indefinitely. Also the invisible wolf that just decloaks and mauls you to death instantly although you can outrun that too if you notice it in time. >voicelines are stock and copied from elsewhereLazy, yeah. >uses that gay retard dork souls type system where instead of loading a save when you die, you just respawn with most of your gear goneIt is gay. Gameplay wise it's fine, gives you a reason to go into a place that killed you with worse equipment, raises stakes, but it's immersion killing, in a game that relies on atmosphere. . >"traits" that are just garbage like "oh you cough all the time"You can just not take any>females just wear crop tops, no breastsMods will more than fix it. >copies doom 3's flashlight system but somehow doesn't get any flak for itI don't mind the flashlight per se, since it's a totally different sort of game from doom 3. But not being able to sleep outside of designated beds even in safe areas is fucked. Really, my problem is that the lizard npc enemies don't use flashlights, but can still see and engage you as per usual, while you can't see shit. If they had to use flashlights, it'd be fair.Like, say I go to the broker, on the opposite side of the map from the bed, in the evening. I dont want to walk back to the bed in case the army shows up and blasts me from beyond my flashlights range, which means I either have to thug it out and do it anyway or wait the entire in-game night for real until sunrise
>>561477035>Mama's Beads you find alongside "bread", "guitar" & "hand_radio" in Dark Valley (in that tall rusted structure that's radioactive next to the X-18 compound)Oh yeah, the grain feeder stash. I wondered for so long what the radio did and finally looked it up only to be disappointed that it does nothing kek.
>>561477035I could've sworn I searched that whole room before and never found that. I'll look again.
>>561498189go be gay somewhere else

>>561477035>>561486027>>561499310Well sonofabitch. There is a toilet Groza, I just found it. Anomalous Dugout had it in his video as well. You can't see it until you get onto the toilet and then the indicator to pick it up will show in front of you.https://youtu.be/aFfxTXlKzes?si=dk0Y62avmRgYbHzs&t=278
>>561513440keep scrolling down
>>561514289i took that screenshot back in 2016, i don't even recall what mods i had other than this was a FRAPS screenshot taken in some version of CoC
I am finally done with the first gif.I had to take the first Stalker font because that was the only one where I had the option to change the colors of the letters, which was necessary cause the 100 Rads is dark as fuckAlso the quality is of course kinda meh because <4MB, but you will take it and you will like it
Alternate version with differing sizing and quality
>>561477035>>561513884It looks like it glitches out quite a bit too. I made a savegame right outside that room and reloads sometimes put the Groza in the floor behind the toilet and door, other reloads put it inside the water tank above it where I had to jump up on the toilet looking down in the tank and repeatedly pressing F.

>>561545886if you want western optics on an ak, you have 5.56 ones, that means their ammo sucks.or you have ak 102 and ak 12.the woodland suit is also not an exoskeleton suit. its just the exosuit part.
if 5.56 ap wasn't truly ass compared to 5.45 ap in anomaly, i'd rock the hk 416, for that cool high shoulder carry sprint animation.

>>561548328I wanna try a SoC playthrough only using the Fast-shooting Akm 74/2. I imagine clearing Pripyat and the CNPP would be a nightmare using it.
>>561548734I have done a playthrough or two of anomaly using 5.56 guns and holy fuck does endgame become a grind. you have to have like 2,000 rounds + of ap ammo, and a whole bunch og gun cleaning kits / oil etc. and even then you're eating shit because you can't kill monofags quicky enough and are reloading your rifle all the fucking time. some times its legitimiately quicker to stab yourself with a bunch of syringe drugs, and go hand to hand with a fucking axe, using your current target as a meat shield against the ither monolith.

>>561580191they're completely missing the point of stalker and it's just your typical AAA movie-game slop

>my favorite vidya series is in the hands of a skinwalker studio which doesn't even understand what made it good>half of its fanbase care about it only because of a mod that has little in common with the actual games but is praised as the best shit everwhat a terrible timeline
>>561583624Nah Stalker 2 is really close to what the original games were. It just needs 7 more years of development.
>>561584470STALKER 2 is nowhere near that bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2H5TBVr2hQ
>>561580191>>561580291It's the trailer. They did the same with the base game. The game had like 30 minutes of cutscenes total in a 60-hour-long game, and they tried to shove every single cutscene into the trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKO4PL8Xzik
The trailer still uses software lumen reflections. So they either haven't updated the engine yet for the trailer footage. Or even with the updated engine the game still uses software lumen only.
So we're getting the Iron Forest, CNPP, Lymansk, X16, in this DLC it seems.
>>561586463this alone makes it unplayable for my rtx3080

GP3A (G3[A4?]) in sralker
>>561592638I want it to be a freeplay mode after the Strelok ending.
>>561592638Probably the already-modeled (partially) locales like the actual jupiter factory from the otherwise empty and jupiter-less place called "jupiter". There's also a fuckton of Pripyat that's visible but cut off, the area north of Red Fortress, the traversable swampy area between Cooling Towers and SIRCAA, maybe even the hangar in the northeast of Zaton that has the rusty hovercraft in it and the parts of the Garbage mound that are fully modeled but inaccessible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_527fsV-V1Uthis is the only hope left for stalker
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE AN-94 IN THE TRAILER? THE L85? THE F2000? AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!
>>561594814IIRC several of those ares are planned to just be released for free, like the area around Jupiter, and the area north of the Red fortress.

>reinstall stalker 2 to see if its any better>uninstall it again before even getting out of the tutorialI greatly regret buying this game.
>>560397920How's Stalker 2 coming along?Has there been any noteworthy updates to stability and performance whatsoever in the last 12 months? Have they updated the engine version yet?Is it abandoned?
>>561609885No its still shitThere is a paid DLC coming out this summer (spring next year).There is absolutely nothing that can be done to salvage it. Unreal alone doomed it before they even started work on the game.
>>561610096God damn it. >Unreal alone doomed it before they even started work on the gameI knew that as soon as I heard it, but the optimist in me was too deluded.
>>561609885Unless you are running an absolute potato the game runs fine, and I havent had any crashes since the early days of the game.
>>561611651Last tried to play it in november 2024. Ran like dogshit, everything was grainy and ugly as fuck. If it's anything like that still, we have different ideas of a game running fine or not.
>>561601843>non-canon slopKinda like s2 (pejorative), which is posted in every thread for some reason. We really need a separation of /sg/ from slop.
>>561612159bait
>>561612159>RTX 2080 Super>4095Mb???Bro, where's half of your GPU VRAM?Anyway, I don't think this setup will be able to run 1080p@60fps even if they update the engine and do all the optimisations. Your CPU and GPU are way too old.
>>561612159So I was right. You're on a potato
>>561579183I love my fucking acog and my barska reflex. They're fucking neato.I hate the russkie reflex sight 'kobra' and the ruskie scopes.They fucking occlude every fucking thing. Can't see shit.
>>561578048So is the focus for the DLC a war between Duty and Freedom or a story involving the CNPP? or both? Also Nu-GSC really wants to win dei brownie points with female characters, huh
>>561622881According to old leaks, which may not be valid anymore, the story is that the OG founders of Freedom and Duty were part of the same military squad that went into what would become the zone before the first emission, and they found a Psi-Embryo, with one of them becoming basically hypnotized by it, and there being some big falling out. This war starts up between the two, and the Psi-Embryo is this big thing they end up fighting over because of how powerful it is. The old leaks did also say Limansk, the Iron Forest, and the CNPP, would be involved, which holds up.
>>561623110Minor correction here, looking back on the old leak videos,-The military squad was sent in before the Zone was created to destroy all the Psi-embryos in X-19 under the CNPP-The people who would become the leaders of Duty and Freedom both wanted to keep one for themselves, and the Freedom founder stole one, eventually hiding it somewhere in Limansk-Duty later launched its operation into Limansk to try to find the Psi-Embryo, but the Duty leader got like mind controlled/hypnotized by it, evnetually falling apart and getting trapped in Limansk, and leading to us being able to pull their bodies out of the spatial anomaly in CoP.All in a video from 9 months ago, seems to match the trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMs-hqrHkRM
>>561623110>>561623598Ok, cool. Sounds kinda weird but I'll go with it.
I just started playing stalker2. Why is skif always hungry and how to slower down day night cycles? The sun is travelling ridiculously fast. Game is bugged af but still fun to play. Just like soc back in 2008. Any advices?
>>561623110>the story is that the OG founders of Freedom and Duty were part of the same military squaddamn that's actually a pretty fun idea, i like that. the rest of it i'm not sure about but you could do something cool with that premise at least
>>561625071skif is always hungry because even after 20 years they still haven't figured out what to use the whole sustenance system for even though human beings made the game also, just look for mods to fix both of those problems
>>561627173In Stalker 2 I think it will influence your stamina regeneration and if you get really hungry you lose strength you won't be able to carry as much, and you can actually starve to death.
>>561612159Anon... That's pretty potato. That's a nine gen old i7, not overclocked, likely bottlenecking the 3 generation old GPU. And it's not even a 2080Ti, it's a step weaker. You're not far past minimum requirements on the gpu, one step below minimum (7700K at bare minimum can be overclocked), on shitty DDR3 RAM. No shit a new game is going to run poorly on that toaster.>>561615516Speccy is dogshit and can't load basic details like GPU VRAM properly. The smart option is to use something like HWINFO, but toasterman probably thinks that's too new.
Major Degtyarev is a pretty cool guy, eh kills bandits and doesn't afraid of anything.
>>561612532>separation of /sg/ from slopYes, much like a separation of Church and state.

>>561673806>play meme mode>get memed on>blame the gameLower the difficulty, spaz.
>>561674510Because it is bad. But go off, retard.
>>561674905>game bad because me die in tutorial
>>561672561this one's my favorite so far
>>561672561Great
>>561677848>>561677952Thanks.I got one here, that sadly didn't come out as I hoped it would. Still Imma drop it here
>>561678704Nah, it's pretty neat.
>>561621683what program are you using to make these?gimp is not doing a good job at optimization, for me I mean
>>561678704also y u no make webm instead?
>>561679365First: trim the mp4's of the ingame footage I got with the films and tv app on my craptop to roughly the sequence that I want. Then using Ezgif to convert that from .mp4 to .gif.Next I load that gif into ScreenToGif's editor for working on and removing individual frames, cropping and resizing the whole gif and adding the text pngs. ScreenToGif is pretty neato you can download it here: https://www.screentogif.com/how-to-useNow I have a gif roughly in the 10 - 20 MB range. That gif I compress using this free site: https://www.iloveimg.com/compress-image/compress-gif , I found that this site generally yields the best results as it randomly compresses the file size from between 25%-45%, but the quality loss is not as noticeable as from other sites.Now I got something from 5 - 9 MB. For fine adjustments I again use free online Ezgif: https://ezgif.com/optimize , as you can play around with different methods trying to bring it under 4 MB, plus it shows you how big the file size is before downloading, something that other sites don't do.If to someone that feels like an unnecessarily convoluted way to do all this, pls tell me. I am new at this and open to learning>>561679609I kinda dislike webms as it annoys me when I have to look for the teeny tiny "close" button to close it again. On a gif you just click somewhere on it to close it. Gifs are also oldschool, I like that. I'm kinda obsessed with trying to make them loop as smoothly as possible, without it being too noticeable. On a webm you see where it begins and ends. Yeah I'm retarded like that, I know.
>>561682838>On a gif you just click somewhere on it to close itits the same for a webm or mp4 for meI am using 4chanx so maybe thats why>Now I got something from 5 - 9 MB. For fine adjustments I again use free online Ezgif: https://ezgif.com/optimize >plus it shows you how big the file size is before downloadingcool, thanks man
>>561682838That's all easy bratan, but how do you cut out and insert the text?
>>561592910>7.62x51BASED
>>561587304It seems to be only Iron Forest and CNPP.>https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/03/26/stalker-2-dlc-xbox-partner-preview/>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is also about the Zone — and that means it keeps expanding. Cost of Hope will allow you to explore two long-awaited regions that have been cut off for years and that every stalker in the Zone has dreamt of reaching: Iron Forest and the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.Limansk tunnel in the trailer is probably a bait.
>>561683582>I am using 4chanx so maybe thats whyYes thats probably it>>561683810>how do you cut out and insert the text?Downloading the fonts from those 3 sites:https://fontmeme.com/stalker-font/https://fontsgeek.com/tagged/styles/graffiti1ctthttps://font.download/font/stalkerYou don't need to cut out the text, it just needs to be a .png and the background needs to be transparent. The first and third font's png backgrounds are automatically transparent upon downloading. On the second graffiti font, you'd need to use Gimp to make the background transparent.For the insertion I use ScreenToGif: Tab "Image" -> button "Watermark", then choose the text you want to insert. You can scale it as you like there.To mark all individual frames at once and insert the text on all of them, click on the tab "Start" -> button "Select All" (or however it is called there, my version is not in english). I only learned on the fourth gif that that's possible, on the first three ones I inserted the text individually on each frame like a retard, save yourself that extra work.
>>561685563if you wanted without white outline, here ya goalso lifted /g/ a few pixels
>>561687281How did you do that? looks pristineUsing Gimp I only am able to make it transparent with those ugly white pixels
>>561685203>Limansk tunnel in the trailer is probably a bait.Except we see the Limansk hospital in the trailer also. It could be Limansk is just a more linear story section like it was in Clear Sky, and not a full zone.
>>561667518IWP>>561652465It's OK. Think Tarkov guns on Gunslinger animations. Fun for a quick romp through the Zone.Make sure to use the Call of the Zone addon. Without it the mod is just vanilla CoC.
>>561687924I just opened the one you posted in photoshop, zoomed in on the white outline and selected colors by range and picked those, it got almost all of them. then deleted em and saved the pngI left a few on the r on purpose.here is an image of me doing the same in GIMP
>>561694878Which version of Photoshop is that?
>>561695162bruh....
>>561685563Thanks! I was planning to sink my teeth into some SoC vanilla+ mod today, god willing I'll get some cool gif to edit and post here.
>>561696224Derp. I missed the rest of your post. I'm tired.Which version of GIMP is that? It looks pretty ancient.
>>561697673kek, I kinda guessedit is ancient, its GIMP 2.8never bothered updating and trying to find updated plugins for .dds as I mainly use photopshop
>>561699068I get it. I still use an old version of Photoshop from years ago. Works for editing icon_equipment!
I'm so happy we're seemingly getting Limansk. It is the place I wanted to most in Stalker 2.
Whatever happened to that fella who made Float32?I remember hearing years ago he died of cancer or something because he ran nuclear experiments in his basement. Nivenhbro was his name I think?
>>561592910Should have went for FAL goddammit.
>>561672561>>561678704Doing great work anon
>>561642556That's awfully rude... after all these years, I'm sure he'll come around again.
>>561722687
>>561724724Very niceI would like to make a request if I could?I would love to see one in Agropram Underground with all the Fruit Punch anomalies bubbling in that corridor at the bottom of the spiral staircase. That would be pretty cool.
>>561725063Great minds think alike, I already considered that precise anomaly in that location. Fruit punch sounds in vanilla SoC make my skin crawl, such a great atmospheric choice for the first underground segment by early GSC.However, currently I have the Defiance mod ontop of my SoC installed, and I am not entirely done yet. But once I install SoC freshly again (plus probably Memories of the Zone ontop) in the near future, I will make a gif out of that
>>561725903Noice
>>561642198I'm still here, bitch
>>561740205is this gamma?
>>561740205I don't remember this.Something they ditched before release?
>>561642198Based
>>560609356>UE4 instead of shitty UE5>Stalker 2 could have been savedit's over...
So we have the Echo, Bear, Veles and Svarog detectors in CoP. The Veles detectors also detect anomalies in S2 unless I am mistaken? Also that long-range one.Is the next step a detector that spots mutants?
>>561745589Having seen some of the assets of the potential Stalker 2 release in 2011, the models looked kinda shit. I honestly think UE4 would've been best. Just my view on it though.
>>561754154
my alcoholism just led to the loss of my job
>>561758993Man, I'm sorry. I don't have any words of advice, but that's rough, I hope for the best for you.
>>561758993I'm sorry to hear that, anon. Take it as a wake up call to change your ways.
>>560397994Four of the mega repos in the OP are dead and contain nothing but empty folders. These are the repos for the original trilogy and the Anons Call of Chernobyl Definitive Edition Repo.Since these links are dead, I figure they should be removed/replaced. I took a jab at restructuring the OP text, removing the dead links and instead put in new links for more mods. The mods I added to the OP are:>Vector of Alienation>Goldsphere>Lost Alpha>Spatial Anomaly>Wind of TimeWhat do you guys think of this? I tried to think of mods generally considered good. While Lost Alpha's "good" status is questionable, I included it cause it's legendary and, for some reason, not included in the C-Con mod spreadsheet.And while on the topic,>Xetrill's Modified LuaJIT for CS/CoPIs this stuff relevant anymore? I never see it discussed or brought up. I've never even seen anyone in the fandom recommend it as a tool.
>>561779270I forgot to mention, the Unpacked Gamedata + GSC Backup HDD assets repo is also dead and gone.
>>561779270That's really neat, good selection.
>>561779270>Xetrill's Modified LuaJIT for CS/CoPConsiderably improved performance in Gunslinger for me. I'd keep it.
>doing Yantar questline in Vector of Alienation>herping and derping through colossal buildo Yantar with no quest markers>psi phantoms spawning constantly>finally get the psi helmet>go down to buildo X-16>find the brain>hit the switch to turn it off>game crashesIt's comical how janky VoA is.
>>561789024Thats basically just STALKER in general though.
>>561783741We'll keep it in, then.>>561791117True, I just thought that the jankyness made it extra funny.
Freedom? More like Freedead.
This one was a bitch to compress without the quality becoming too shitty.I think I'm out of recorded Stalker footage to salvage worthy gifs out of, so that's it for now. I might occasionally drop more gifs as I continue playing, but for the foreseeable future I'll probably only play casually, so don't expect much.>>561725063I'll keep the Agroprom fruit punch in mind though
>>561794881What am I, uh, what am I looking at?
>>561754154is this garry's mod?
>>561796467No, this is Patrick
>>561758993Sorry man, but try to sober up.
>>561794881Zamn! STALKER 2 looks like THAT?!?!
>>560397994We need to change this. The new name for Escape from Pripyat is Fusion and it changed it's vision (it doesn't want to be a f2p escape from tarkov)
>>561794881Duty braps hit different
>>561779270I always liked the old OP, though I also had no problem with the new one that was condensed into one post, since most of the links are semi dead as you already said.Not really a fan of adding mods into the OP outside of unoffcial fixes, engine mods and mods made by any anon, since it rarely gets changed. Also if I really HAD to add any mods to the OP then I would honestly showcase newer ones. Maybe make something like a /sg/ recommended mod list that has classic and well done mods
>>561605462The lack of delving into labs in Stalker 2 was the most egregious mistake of it's production. Labs were so fucking important to the stalker series and broke up the gameplay, economy, progression so well.Why they just fucking omitted them makes no sense to me at all.
fuck off ratfag. No one wants to see your pest pet.
>>561818550I mean, we go into like 4-5 labs in Stalker 2.
>>561816556a nu
>>561818550>>561819213I thought there were 8 of them? I haven't played the game, but I've watched some playthroughs. Ngl though, the underground areas in SoC have never been beaten in terms of atmosphere.
>>5618200170, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 17So 7 of them tha tI can recall
>>561820676X-18 is partially in 2
>>561821963Ohh yeah, so 8 of the 19 are in Stalker 2. We do a lot of lab diving.
>>561794881That model looks like its from Planetside 2
I found these 12 zombies congregating in the CNPP level in the Defiance mod
>>561823804i don't remember big booty bitches in planetside
for mutants. RPK with drum mag, or AEK with under barrel grenade launcher?RPK has 95 in the drum but no grenade launcher, while the AEK shoots way faster but only has 30 in the mag. has grenade launcher for killing pseudo giants though.5.45 HP of course
>>561743685idk its one of the wallpaper included with the gog copies of the game.I assume it was something cut out, or maybe just old shit from soc they decided to slap CoP's logo on.
>>561838865Looks cool though
Lads when is this unreal upgrade actually happening?i am holding off from S2 until it drops. What am I expected to do in the meantime- Play crimson desert?
>>561850189Nigger you have a gorillion stalkan mods to choose from not to mention many of them are super replayable. This general wouldn't survive the past 16 years if this wasn't the case.If you choose to play gachashit that's on you.
>>561818651this you?
>>561850189Wait until modders fix it.
>>561850189>Lads when is this unreal upgrade actually happening?i am holding off from S2 until it drops.I'm personally waiting until the game receives its last dlc/update.>What am I expected to do in the meantimePlay mods like Valley of Whispers, SFZ Project: Episode Zero (Deluxe Remake), Zero Investment, Grand Rendering mod or IWP (when it receives its (last?) update). Literally what >>561851304 has said
>>561743685>>561838865it was supposed to be a new location in cop, called dead city, like the cut one from soc, but ironically it wouldn't be dead, because it would have inhabitants who would be guarded and supervised. like they were the subjects of some kind of experiment. only a few concept arts were created, it was scrapped early on.
>>561856046
>>561851304I know but I want my first experience with S2 to be without mods. I like to check out mods after having the vanilla experience. Might break this rule if the unreal engine upgrade doesn't happen soon though. >This general wouldn't survive the past 16 years if this wasn't the case. And it's why I have so much respect for the Stalker " community"
>>560904179bit late to the party, but my favourite modpack is OGSE and that was the one that introduced Dead City to me.It's a very freaky version too in a way.Depending on whether you want more refined animations or more equipment, choose between OGSE or OGSR.
>>561856046>>561856139intredastingthanks man
>>561779270I'm fine with never posting those link for soc, cs, cop againAnons Call of Chernobyl Definitive Edition Repo still has its google drive link>The mods I added to the OP are:why??we can put back S2 shit in there from "new" OP>for some reason, not included in the C-Con mod spreadsheetbecause con is a bunch of circle jerking discord shitters
>>561857830>Anons Call of Chernobyl Definitive Edition Repo still has its google drive linkYes, I am keeping that one. It's just the mega drive that's dead.>why??Why not? I think it's better to have the mod links directly in the OP instead of hiding them behind another link. Of course some STALKER 2 stuff can be added as well.>>561807296>a /sg/ recommended mod listIsn't that pretty much what the second OP post is?
>>561866621>I think it's better to have the mod links directly in the OP instead of hiding them behind another link. Of course some STALKER 2 stuff can be added as well.then go right ahead man
>>561868000Do you have a link to the "new" STALKER 2 pasta? I do not have it saved.Nice trips, by the way.
>>561868353I assume you can just use what was in last archived threadhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/558999305/#q558999305looks ok to me, adjust as needed
>>561873796Thank you. I'll incorporate it into the OP.
how much would you say stalker 2 is worth?$20? 30?i have maybe played 5 hours total of the old games
>>5618774729 gorillion
>>561824650I love grenades
>>561878078I have had a hard time believing an in-game RGD-5 would actually kill a stalker, even if they're right in the blast radius they usually just get downed. I literally only use them to make enemies run out of cover lol (which I guess is a realistic use of nades)
>>561877472Buy Stalker 2 Ultimate Edition.Install GAMMA.Play Clear Sky.
>>561868353>Nice trips, by the wayoh shit I didnt even notice
>>561878078That one is fucking good. How did you like Defiance?
How much ammo do you carry on average?
>>561893751for a long time i used to carry around like 300 rounds for my main rifle but i've realized tbdesu you can get by just fine with like a third of that. just tap heads and you'll be ok
>>560397920>Oldfag editionYEAP. Complete 2009 mod bundle is still the best way to go.
>>561583624>>my favorite vidya series is in the hands of a skinwalker studio which doesn't even understand what made it goodThe "studio" is controlled by the former guy's little brother and his wife. It's not GSC, it's GE+Wife Game World.The staff are just artists/redditors who used to play STALKER mods. They don't have any programming talent at all.It's owned and financed by Microsoft and a Ukrainian real estate investor.They created STALKER 2 so it could print hundreds of millions/billions of dollars for them, over time. Just like the Far Cry series or Assassin's Creed.>Nah Stalker 2 is really close to what the original games were.No. STALKER 2 was a total embarrassment and a hugely successful scam pulled on normies. Create a zombie game with no content, cashing in on the STALKER name, and normie scum will fall for it. None of the original atmosphere, features, maps, AI, movement/shooting mechanics are there at all. Your gun sways like crazy when moving. Reload cancels sprint. The map is gigantic and empty. Enemies spawn right next to you. No A-Life, not even an poor attempt (even though I wrote an A-Life script myself in 1 day, tracks 10,000 offline NPC positions). There's a yellow filter on the entire screen, on everything including the road and the gun, etc. distorting the entire image. Normies fucking love this shit.It's truly shocking how much is wrong with the game - the lighting is completely fucked due to auto-exposure. The story makes no sense with the Faust ending - why? Because they originally had another story planned but had to scrap it, so the official story is probably not even canon.ON TOP of all that, it's also broken AND has poor performance, adding insult to injury. Even if it played perfectly with no bugs, it would still be garbage. The low FPS, stuttering, and bugs just work to hide the game's real issues, which is that it's unfinished and poorly made.The only way to "fix it" would be to throw out the whole thing and restart.
>>561877472Full price + ultimate edition.This gets you all of the expansions and whatnot.inb4 redditors cry "Shill"
>>561893751Usually like 300 for two rifles each, something like 80 for a sidearm, around 10-15 grenades (frag and explosive each), and 5-10 underbarrel grenades if I can use them. Yeah, I'm shit at FPS games, how could you tell?
>>561895634Literally no game is worth that much money to me.
>>561894845You very obviously haven't even played it. How pathetic, relying on other people having not played it so they fall for your lies. Meanwhile everyone who actually has played the game knows you're full of shit , and pointing it out just makes you sperg out and samefag crying about shills and jews and whatever.>>561895905Get a job.
>>561896039Of course I have played it. Everything I described was accurate. Bad mechanics, story, map, etc. Bad game balance as well. And buggy. And poor performance.>Meanwhile everyone who actually has played the gameNormie scum and consoomers who love slop. They're easily tricked, that was my point. Only some people are capable of evaluating games objectively. Most aren't, and will play anything.>>561608310>>reinstall stalker 2 to see if its any better>>uninstall it again before even getting out of the tutorial>I greatly regret buying this game.Last time I installed, immediately after finding the first guy's body in the bathroom thing, I walked 10 steps and I had 3 NPCs and 3 fleshes spawn right next to me. The NPCs kept continuously running into eachother, getting stuck on terrain, full running and starting/stopping, they looked like they were glitching out. That's not a game, that's worse than something I would see in Half-Life 1.There are no real AI scripts in the game, it's just default UE5 AI trying to pathfind, and failing.
>>561896717>I totally played it, that's why I describe it in ways anyone who's actually played it can disprove>btw anyone who like it is a SHILL REDDIT NORMIE SLOPEATER REEEEEEWhy are you niggers even in /sg/ STALKER GENERAL if you clearly hold disdain for the series?
>>561896039>Get a job.Get a sense of value for your money. Spending $80 God forbid $110 for a B-level single player FPS game is fucking INSANE and I'm tired of pretending it isn't. I paid $1 for it on Game Pass, beat it, didn't look back. My pity goes to the people who bought the game on there - they discontinued support and confirmed not going to get the DLC.
>>561897372>I don't have any money and buying things is crazyI repeat: Get a job. Only poor children on mommy's welfare and thirdies who should be worrying about being able to afford their next meal have this kind of autistic spergout over the idea of paying for games.
>>561896717>>561896039No matter what you might say, STALKER 2 has irrevocably caused a split between the community as a whole. Discord, Reddit, a lot of people love and continue to love STALKER 2, despite the fact that "... oh well, it could be better. Waiting on that engine upgrade!!" or "The A-Life kinda sucks. Better than those old af games haha!" Or it's just another avenue for purists. I recently upgraded my computer to a 5080 and I still have no intention of playing stalker 2. Maybe I love the trilogy more. Maybe it disappointed me that badly.But to me, selling DLC and an ultimate and stringing the hard-core fans along for their ultimate physicals which they are still waiting on (years btw) is not a good look. At this point, it isn't as much the game, but the studio, the image. I don't want to support maxim krippa, I want to support sergiy. Without him (and his flaws) we would've never had stalker at all. And before you get started on the ferrari and strike deal, I know. Point still stands.
>>561898462That's retarded. It hinges on whether money goes to pepsiman? That's even dumber than all the sour grapes kids whining about it because their ewaste machines can't run it.
>>561897813Wasting close to $100 on a mediocre digital product (that you don't own!), when - even if you wanted it - you could've got it for $1 is absolutely a low IQ nigger move. There's a good chance you're the welfare monkey since it's as smart of a move as dropping your check for the new Jordans.
>>561897813you're projecting>autistic spergoutget a load of this faggotnta btw
>>561899191>>561899386Show me where you can get S2 Ultimate for $1. You won't. You can't. >buying something is the same as [/pol/ schizobabble about africans]What rep do you have to protect by bullshitting this hard and this obviously? Just admit $60, let alone $100, is more than you make in a week already, and that's why prices that have existed for 20 years are somehow out of this world for you.

watching a rutuber play NS.OGSR (people soup on OGSR engine), looks quite good actually.
>>561879085It was an F1 grenade. Stalker's nades are perfect for clearing rooms around corners or underground segments>>561886349I liked the crunchy snow and gunplay. The CNPP levels however were ass as I severely underestimated the amount of antirads and Scientifc medkits I'd need and had to feel around the irradiated patches to move forward without wasting my few supplies as I didn't know what would come. Are you the maker of the mod? If yes, I enjoyed the dialogue, it's short, humorous and to the point. The ending was also fine, I liked the twist. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the Legacy of Kain games that you are referencing there.

What was your first time getting to the CNPP in Shadow of Chernobyl like? Did you pack enough ammo and antirad drugs? For me it's was a disaster of swapping weapons from dead monolit troops and scavenging for first aid kits while I was slowly dying from radiation
>>561965249Never had problems with the radiation but I had barely any ammo since the brain scorcher so I had to lootgoblin my way to victory.
>>561921928I did make the mod. I'm glad you enjoyed it!Both the Legacy of Kain series and my mod revolve around a player character named Kain trying to change his fate. I really love those games.
is the olr 3.0-comunity patch on moddb any good?
>>561969018It's probably better than the original upload. I haven't played since the open beta, myself. Man, that was a shitshow.
Man OLR 3.0 looks real unfun and unpleasant to playhttps://youtu.be/K-ssndckzy0
>>561971263Yeah, hi_flyer kinda went off the goop. BUT, I think it can be great with enough community fixes. It's the most ambitious mod we've seen in years.
>>561965249Pretty much the same. I treated the game too much as a Half-Life 2 clone. I downloaded a trainer and turned on God mode out of frustration.

>>561965249I still pretty vividly remember what my first run was like and I was a lot of the same. Never got to the ending because I got stuck on the stair section in the sarcophagus dying over and over againDid a new playthrough a month or two later, stocked up properly for it, and it was amazing. Been hooked ever since
