>>584527875
Imo SoC is close to a 10/10, let's say 10/10 with ZRP on and 9.5/10 vanilla. Closely followed by CS, let's say 8/10 vanilla and 9.5/10 with SRP on. As for CoP... a mediocre 7/10. Mostly for the new locations and side quests, otherwise clearly inferior to the first two. As for S2, a generous 2/10.

Great start to the General.

alife as we know it is fundamentally incompatible with the final product. as the game kept shrinking and prof continued twisting direction away from emergent behavior simulation in vein of x and space rangers towards linear progression and scripted setpieces (with his vision fully realised with metro series) iassenev's work kept getting increasingly irrelevant. what's the purpose of action planning and npc progression when every single location is controlled by gulags and hand-placed actor profiles? where would npcs do quests and hunt artifacts when the loactions are so small and every point of interest is couple of dozens meters from each other? persistent npcs is the sole notable alife component that survived to the end, and its most prominent and iconic feature is watching wolf burn in the campfire. the game would've barely changed if it just spawned nameless redshirts instead.

I've been having half a mind to get a Claude sub so that I can "make" a buildo mod with more arena shooter mechanics.

What is getting me is I can't throw grenades as they throw them back even if they don't have line of sight (to me or the grenade I found out) and they put their shield if within a fraction of a second when they get line of sight to me so even corner peaking and shooting maybe gets one or 2 bullets to connect.

Tbh the darkscape sequence has been ass on literally ever mod I've played that has included it. They were right to cut it imo. Driveable vehicles just don't mix well with stalker. The other stuff I can agree was better than what we got in release.

>>584813323
Not sure if it's the same for every other mod using it, since I don't really remember it in base Anomaly, but the second access route FZ added from the ruined house across from the pig farm right to the gas station is a bloody life saver. Gives you an access to the very center of the area as well as the small Stalker camp close to it. It is actually not a pain to go and do a few missions in there because of that access hole, with no driving needed.

>>584569243
The issue was that having a big open simulated world had the potential to interfere with the story. CS remedied this by commencing the faction wars after you reached a certain part in the story (except for Loners who you can join right away but they would have zero significant quest impact anyways) and only specifying certain smart terrains as goals and resource points for factions to be interested in. CoP had a list of smart terrains that were prohibited for random squads to get assigned to iirc to prevent quests from being ruined (like wastewater plant, jupiter plant).
>persistent npcs is the sole notable alife component that survived to the end
Technically you can remove the communities restrictions in all spawn and scripts and open literally smart terrain up to any faction and ranking, the biggest differences between SoC and CoP are just that CoP just groups stalkers into squads and moves them about every so often. SoC stalkers can change smart terrains and so on as well but its usually just the result of the smart terrain closing once certain infoportions are received (like if you dont waste the bandit that plays hurt to rob you in garbage usually he ends up in Agroprom once the ST closes.) If you spawn a stalker in without specifying a smart terrain in SoC he will get eventually get assigned to one that has an open space as well. The system is there its just not fleshed out as much as it should be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGM-40_Kastet

>>584541713
CS is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Yes unpolished and in need of refining but it set the stage for so many important CoP mechanics like artifact hunting with detectors, repairs and upgrades, and so on. The faction wars concept is cool and theres lots of cool characters. Also the machine gunner at the Cordon entrance is easy to cheese, just hug the side and use the hill for cover. I can make it to the rookie village without getting hit even on master, it baffles me how some people get filtered by that.

What mod to play?

Did they port IWP into the IX-ray engine yet?

I stopped checking about a year ago so they still probably haven't started even working on it yet but you never know.

>>584874027
>Did they port IWP into the IX-ray engine yet?
They have actually posted screenshots and some videos on their shitcord about it like one or two years ago, but these were some test builds that aren't public. There were also some recent commits for it.
There is sadly no timeframe for a release.

On another note, there is a rift between the IX-Ray devs, which resulted in the creation of the Ultimate X-Ray fork. IX-Ray niggas originally wanted to drop the 1.4 update earlier this year, but it looks like they experienced scope creep and wanted to support CS AND SoC in the same update and not in seperate updates. It also looks like they vibecode more shit, which MIGHT be the reason for breaking the renderer (or other stuff) and making a late release of 1.4.

I should finish Goldensphere...

Fuck if I know, played it when it came out and haven't touched it since. My bet is yeah, it's probably exactly like that as they wanted them dumbed down for people that didn't understand numbers and percentages. Just pair little red lines with little green lines I guess.

>>584897002
you need artefact that has 3 green bars minimum, radiation protection from gear doesnt matter

>>584906382
NTA but do two artifacts with two green bars each amount to four bars in total or do their effects not compound?

would you get confused in any RPG by 2 rings/trinket/whatever with the following effects?

seems pretty obvious to me that you would end up with +5% movement speed and +5 damage at the end

>>584918283
>it seems incredibly intuitive to me?
I was 4 hours into the game and every artifact I found had red stats on radiation.
I do not know green stats on radiation from artifacts even exist.
So I assumed that the only green radiation bar I encountered (armor) is the only way to mitigate it.

>>584918973
ah, so that's what was confusing you.
alright, fair then.
be glad you're not playing SoC where there was a stat called health which, if i recall correctly, usually spawned on artifacts on percentages around +300% or so.

this actually affects the speed at which you regen health when not hungry, if memory serves

>>584918973

Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? This is something you could see show up on Doom or Bioshock not fucking Stalker. That felt unnatural as all fuck.

I've been using chatGPT with thinking turned on high for a few days now to make custom adjustments to the config and scripts. I'm runnning SoC with amk 1.4.1 and it's been helping me make some good quality of life adjustments. first one was a brighter flashlight because this build of amk uses autom aurora's weather so night time is nigger dark and no fun getting one shotted by a bandit 3 feet away i didnt see.

some other little mods it made:
fast travel to notable points on the map with time progrssion. it cannibalized the sleep system already in amk and the GOTZ cheat menu i also had.

corpse exam, so everytime i open a dead stalker it tells me how he died, and who killed him. only works per map and resets when you leave the area so it doesn't overload save with bloat.

lots of hotkey mods, take all and shift+click sells stacks so i dont click 5 times for a stack of 5 bread to sell.

a ruble donation system added to dialogue as a money sink for all the money i make end game and for rp. i can talk to generic stalkers and gift them 5k or 10k rubles and it increases relations. Wrote some stupid dialogue to go with it myself but ChatGPT make the framework.

adjusted spawn time and rates easily

a life adjustments to make the zone feel more alive. basically a la carte adjustments of AMK's already good a life.

basically you can feed it your gamedata files zipped and although it takes about 5-10 mins to think it makes some really good work that's made me enjoy stalker soc more. it modifeid my xrgame.dll for the hotkeys though. very cool and useful for retards like me.

Good sleeping, stalker.

Do you like the zone being a more physical real place where spooky things happen or more like a silent hill dreamlike space? I always assumed it was supposed to be like the Limansk pocket dimension the deeper you went because of the rift in the noosphere being a literal "tear in reality" but the games so far have been pretty restrained on it.

>>585104729
The former, seeing as that's what I've come to know with the games. Maybe the Zone is somewhat restrained, and you could say the Limansk pocket dimension is what the Zone could really do if it wasn't.

>>585104729
prefer the zone being more tangible, i get that there is a lot more happening under the surface but these dream states and pocket dimensions are absolutely stupid even if the context of the zone and the way they are implemented in game are horrid dog shit too

because for a supposedly overworldly setting this series holds surprisingly little ambiguity. anomalies? glorified landmines, neatly catalogued in your pda for convenience. artifacts? all their properties are perfectly studied and inventoried, we can even synthesize them now. mutants? all project x btw. landscape? same old wealds and panel houses since 1986, worst we can do is some ground bulging. center of the zone? nothing strange there, just a hologram and some dudes guarding it. "man made hell" is one thing, it's the big reveal of the first game after all, but every single thing having tangible and univocal cause, straightforward operating principle and detailed in-universe observations leaves very little to player's thought
