>>13686786

I am

CoC 1.4.22, Questlines, AO3, OA, Dynamic Factions, Autumn Wind, Lost in the Zone

I try to avoid the labs other than the Scorcher or maybe Agropom Underground. Too dangerous below, muzhik. I do like mutant hunting from time to time, gives me a good reason to switch up my usual loadout.

I'm playing CoP for the first time vanilla for this time of year.

I'm thinking of playing CoC using only a knife, pistol, sawed off or hunting shotgun, and light armor. Minimap/alerts turned off too. Maybe I'll even play as a bandit.

If storymode/questlines isn't turned on, there is little reason to visit labs. One of them had an armory near the entrance I think, but that's about it.

>>13686943

>Maybe I'll even play as a bandit.

You should, it's way more fun than you'd think living the cheeki life.

>>13686968

I could put on some hardbass and try to always be drunk for maximum combat performance.

>>13686956

I'm liking it so far, having more dialogue options helps make the Clear Sky hideout even more comfy

>>13686986

The song they play at the bandit trader's office is pretty funny.

>>13687058

Didn't have too much time to play around with it yet, just started a new game and got situated, but already they give the CS guys more things to say when you talk to them and more of them give out missions now

>>13687058

I don't like the swamp because it's completely flat and looks the same everywhere.

>>13687083

It grows on you after a while.

>>13687026

I'M AN ALCOGOLIC, AND A FUCKING DICKHEAD

>>13687083

The flatness is sometimes incredibly obnoxious for firefights, approaching the military positions can be quite a tactical challenge.

>>13687097

ALCOHOLIC AND A DICKHEAD!

>>13687287

I know about all that, I got into the Oasis when I played CoP. I was wondering if the artifact was in CoC.

>literally no helmet vision HUD

fucking casuals

>>13687334

Probably not since CoC doesn't have a lot of the quests done yet.

>>13687357

I was just wondering since I found a Compass that was deliberately placed in a specific area in Red Forest (I also happened to find one randomly in a stash which surprised me) so I was wondering if I could also get the heart of the oasis. I figured since the Compass was specifically placed that a Heart of the Oasis would be too

Good to see a stalker thread up. I'm playing CoC and spooked myself in the red forest after changing to a regular armour since my ecologist suit was broken and I had no money to repair. Went through the red forest at midnight while raining and all I had was the headlamp and came face to face with a snork out of the blue. Scared me shitless anons

>>13687386

I have PTSD from Red Forest in Clear Sky, when I cross it now in CoC I generally chug energy drinks and sprint it.

>>13686786

Playing CoC with Last Days.

Will take some time to dig into.

what mods add more weapons to SoC and CS?

Playing CS for the first time. Or at least trying to.

>>13687737

>CS

Why?

>>13687756

I'm curious. I don't like what little I've played so far.

>>13687756

CS isn't anywhere near bad enough to skip entirely anon.

>>13687767

I played that shit on release and still have nightmares

>>13687797

Same, but the community and official patches salvage it into a decent game.

>>13687399

I tried hanging on the west side near that bridge and picking off monolith to try and find some decent loot. They just kept fucking coming and coming out of the trees. I brought down around 20-25 and had to run without anything good, every time I'd try to scavenge I'd get shot at. Such is life in the Zone.

>>13687797

I played it on release too, got really fucking lucky I suppose.

>>13687707

That's CoM right?

>>13687058

>crosshairs on

STOP

>>13687334

>>13687357

The artifact is definitely there, you'll find it on the ground beside the ladder when you get to the end.

>>13687840

A sub-mod for CoM, yes

>>13687807

I have it for gog so I might replay it. What's a good overhaul mod for it?

Where do you get the knife in SoC vanilla?

Volk won't give it to me since I took the bandit camp without talking to him.

>>13688199

Shouldn't you have started with one?

>>13687899

I want to try CoMbut honestly I don't know if I have the autism for it. What's it like?

>>13688261

No you just start with bolt and binoculars.

>>13688199

>Volk won't give it to me since I took the bandit camp without talking to him.

uhhhhhhhhhhh

You need to talk to Wolf before you take out the bandit camp. He gives you all the stuff.

>>13687737

I really liked CS until it became a corridor shooter

>>13688311

That's how most stalker games end up as though.

Stalker games are shit. Slavs have never made a good game and aren't white.

>>13688301

Well shit.

Is there another way to get one or do I need to restart if I want a knife?

>>13688368

>slavs aren't white

Fuck off jew, you aren't white either.

>>13688388

>either

So Slavs aren't white?

>>13688335

That's true but the corridor isn't as narrow or long as it is in Clear Sky

>>13688952

All three are worth playing, no mods for first playthrough. Get community patches though if you are having a lot of technical problems.

>>13688911

Both Duty and Freedom are Kike-Conscious fuck boys, just controlled opposition to hamper the progress towards the center of the zone, while the Monogoyim serve as a aggressive conter measure in case people get too close.

Loner and Clear Sky are better for being legit stalker factions. Loners wants to make a buck and survive as the Zone turns into their new prison, Clear Sky are legit about the "contain or destroy the Zone" thing without pushing their shit over other factions. Bandits and Mercs are still somewhat legit, for not giving a fuck about that shit hole beyond making a buck of it. And Ecologists just want to know how the Zone works, how to use the knowledge for the good of mankind and get the fuck out of there when theres nothing more to do there.

>>13688733

>>13688771

>>13688911

>>13689116

Clear Sky > Loner > Ecologist > everyone else

This is the objective truth

>>13688911

I'm not sure what context Freedom and Duty are anymore. Before the Oinkrainian revolution I saw Freedom as Western backed soldiers considering all their weaponry is NATO while Duty were a part of the government paramilitary since they had Warsaw Pact weaponry.

But post-revolution I see it as Freedom being the pro-Ukraine forces while Duty are Pidorussian dogs

>>13687344

I think helmet HUD textures are visibly cheap and rudimentary. Metro 2033's gas mask overlay was excellent. A still image overlay not so much.

>>13688952

Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles. This should be general practise. The Zone Reclamation Project bug-fix mod is recommended for Shadow of Chernobyl, although it comes with optional add-ons that you'll want to disable.

>>13689689

>Pidorussian

moskal is a better slur tbhsmh

So, can any fellow stalkers tell me the general best setup for CoC? Which Addons to get and which to avoid like the plague?

>>13688985

I played Call of Pripyat first time with mods, I regret nothing, Atmosfear is a must, and the expanded weapon mod won't hurt your enjoyment of the game at all.

>>13690179

I can recommend Arsenal Overhaul 3 if you're looking for more weapons. A lot of mod selection ends up with personal preference though

>>13691762

88388 is the same forwards or backwards.

>>13691559

At least Hawaiian is okay

>>13689689

>pidorussian dogs

Hohol detected

>>13691906

>better camo

That's the truth and the most important point in the comparison

Those faction rankings are spot on as well. I have a bit of a grudge against Monolith because of how many times they've shot me, but their depiction in CoP was actually endearing.

>>13689167

>>13689827

Why does everyone hate Freedom?

>>13691890

ALOoooooooooooooooooooOHA

>>13691906

pls post more stalker comics

preferably more like The Sixth

>>13692113

Because they were a bunch of hippies

Skinflint is cool though

>>13692715

>Lost to the Zone Living Legend

I wanted to try it but it makes my setup crash and I'm not redoing it just for that, what does it add?

>>13693177

Just more quests I think.

first time playing a STALKER game, just bought CoP on sale, how the fuck do I go with upgrading my gear?

where do I get a good artifact detector, body armour etc? also how much bricks should I be prepared to shit around bloodsuckers?

>>13693599

>Starting with the 3rd game in a series

>Giving money to the fuck that killed the series

Neck yourself

>>13693621

nigger I know literally zero about the series, stop acting like you're in some super sekrit club faggot

>>13693599

You play SoC first faggot. Also open your PDA and find the Skadovsk, it has traders and mechanics.

>>13693599

>upgrading

See the mechanic

>good artifact detector

Scavenge off corpses. Do quests.

>bloodsuckers

Buckshot

>>13693628

This has absolutely nothing to do with secret club shit

>>13693628

>STALKER

>literally a series about a bunch of guys always being in super sekrit klubs

<WAAAAH WAAAAH YOU'RE NOT IN SOME SUPER SEKRIT KLUB!

I suggest you join Freedom, they're right up your alley

>>13691968

You spelt it wrong, moskal.

>>13691559

oh fug

>>13687807

Which mods do I need to unfuck it?

>>13686786

>getting scared

>by stalker

>with shit quality spooky SOC-exclusive preset gibs based on shit that was cut early on because THQ a shit and never updated visually after the earliest builds

wew

I guess after way over 1000 total hours playtime it's hard for the zone to be scary. Even surprise bloodsucker jumpscares are nothing.

>>13686943

>COC

Are they ever planning on making shit actually work for freeplay? Not a lot of point in making a freeplay mod whose focus is freeplay with a minor optional story when freeplay mode has tons of shit like the warlab level that can't be entered or explored at all because everything is trigger-based and only works in story mode.

>>13687083

It was a tutorial level in CS with very little use elsewhere. I find it disappointing that most mods like COC don't do much with it and even worse, don't also include the other swamp maps.

>>13686986

>gommunist

>>>/oven/

>>13687206

Wouldn't be so bad if the AI couldn't see through the thick foliage you yourself can't see through. Logs and shit work ok for cover, but the "AI can see through solid objects you can't" is what ruins it.

>>13687344

>lower an already low FOV (without modding) further with shitty meme overlays that aren't even realistic to how your vision would be wearing one of them

>>13687386

>>13687399

HA! Fucking rookies. You'd be pissing your pants at the sight of a dog next.

>>13691559

>COC shit spawns

daily reminder that freedumbers are hippie faggots and would gladly let refugees into the zone.

>>13694577

Good the anomalies snorks and pseudodogs will get them

>>13693931

>Call of Misery

And later put Last Days on top of it for more autism, weapons and features.

I extracted the database files and edited the weapons in SOC and now Steam I know, I know says "Game is not ready to be played". Is there any way I can directly launch the game through an exe outside of steam?

>>13695036

It really depends on the game, you can try just running the executable but it might not work. I would just pirate the GOG version if I were you.

>>13695072

Where is the exe? Is it hidden? I cannot pirate it or do anything since my PC has no internet

>>13695128

Wherever you installed it on steam, retard. Check your defaut steam directory dummy

>>13695170

It's not in the steam directory, other games have their exes.there but not stalker, I'm wondering if it is hidden or something

>>13695193

NVM I found the exe, but still tries to launch through steam, fuck

>>13695224

Have you changed gamedata to true in fsgame.ltx?

$game_data$ = false|true|$fs_root$|gamedata\

needs to be

$game_data$ = true|true|$fs_root$|gamedata\

all right newfag here, where do I start with Stalker? what are the best mods for a true survival horror experience

>>13695402

You start with the first game, Shadow of Chernobyl. Patched but not modded, play the games in order and then mod them afterwards.

>>13695420

>Patched but not modded

ZRP is strictly speaking a mod (fanpatches are still mods).

>>13695484

I've never tried ZRP

>>13695495

It's worth installing for the peace of mind, I'd say that memes aside 90% of first time players won't have problems without it if their game is patched but the remaining 10% will.

>>13695390

Yes, it is set to that. From what I can gather I need to verify the cache in steam, but that requires an internet connection. It looks like I'm fucked dude, I can't even tether my phone to my PC because my phone is jailbroken and fucked, cannot tether or make a hotspot. I was also planning on tweaking weapons to taste, so even if I did get my PC on to a hard line I would have to do it every single time I edited the weapons ltx files. Fuckkkkk

>>13695192

CLEAR SKY MOTHERFUCKERS

>>13695895

REMOVE ZONE WORST ZONE

>>13695704

Pirate the game then anon.

What's the best kind of vodka drink to have while stalkan?

>>13697979

Sake(?)

I'm still not sold on this game since it isn't Japanese.

>>13697995

>tfw no Fukushima expansion pack

>>13698020

I just want lolis, TBH.

>>13698603

Bullshit there's a loli mod

>>13697979

Stolichnaya is my favourite since it goes down very easily.

Never touch 'organic vodka' tho.

>play shadow of chernobyl

>headbobs as if I were in a seesaw

This is making me nausoues please tell me there is a way to remove the headbob.

>>13699568

>tfw good monitor died and Stalker plays like shit on tv monitor

Ways to play Stalker windowed?

>>13699568

I think cam_inert controlled headbobbing. So try setting it to 0. Either through console or user.ltx.

>>13699620

Wow, so fucking passive aggressive!

>>13699567

You've heard right.

>>13699658

You're also being a pooper pained faggot because someone in the past asked you to stop complaining like a bitch about something that can be disabled by changing a 1 to a 0, no doubt.

>>13699685

Removing the headbob doesn't even involve modding anything though, your witty response would've been better reserved for something else.

>>13699685

That's standard for nearly every game, and changing a game setting doesn't even have anything to do with modding.

>>13693078

It's a pig roast, it's supposed to be cozy!

>>13699716

It's a built-in setting that ships with the game and is exposed by the config file. It has fuckall to do with modding.

>>13699685

That's an autistic technicality. It's still vanilla gameplay just without that vomit inducing head bobbing. You didn't even achieve you're goal of mocking stubborn people who must play vanilla, you just mad yourself look like a retard.

>>13699626

Thank you anon, I'll go do that right now.

>>13699742

this meant for >>13699716

>>13699711

I remember having lots of fun with misery 1.1, while 2.1 is kind of annoying the les mis mod helps fix stuff up a little

>>13699743

I am talking about the normal config file that stores your settings. How much of a fucking dumb nigger are you?

>>13699764

Please end your fucking life.

>>13699783

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

For a while I thought this board has much better STALKER threads than halfchan, but that was clearly wrong. This is in fact even worse than what I saw the last time I was over here.

No need for me to bother with these fucking threads ever again.

>uh huh this is a mawd

>nuh uh this isn't a mawd

BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! YOUR YAPPING IS WORSE THAN MY MOTHER'S, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

>>13699795

*over there

>>13699795

Try to ignore the shitposters, they just want attention.

>>13699821

Please don't. You're a fucking retard, and this thread would be much better off without you.

>>13699795

The shitposting is pretty bad here but its still far easier to find a good thread & discuss stuff over here than on cuckchan

>>13699844

Probably because disabling something purely aesthetic doesn't in any way, shape or form directly impact the actual gameplay itself. Now go shit up some other thread with your autistic semantics arguing.

>>13699909

The problem with your argument is no one cares that much about whether you mod it or not. Yes, people have suggested that the game be played vanilla, but no one cares if you don't. It's just a common suggestion that you finish the game without mods before modding. No one has gotten worked up about whether you play it modded first except for you.

Well, I guess we're free of that autist.

I told you not to derail the thread, faggots, now you're worm food!

>>13699795

>A single autist is enough to make him abandon thread

We don't need lily-livered sissies like you here anyways.

Anons, are there any particularly spooky mods for CoC? I haven't touched the game in about 6 months, but last time I played I had the DoctorX quests mod, STCoP and a couple of other small mods.

i recently started CoP, running vanilla (plus voice mod).

are there things i can do/avoid doing to stop the game from periodically getting saves that just crash the game? it's happened a couple times already and i'm not sure what conditions caused it.

>>13700064

You don't need mods to make CoC spooky. Open up your Atmosfear settings and make nights darker, then wander the zone at night. I guarantee you'll get spooked at some point. And of course there's always the labs and underground areas that are bound to be littered with mutants.

>>13699795

See ya faggot.

>>13699434

Usually I roll with Russian Standard. It's like the only vodka on the shelf at the local store that has Cyrillic on it so it's got my seal of approval.

Is the radiation supposed to be so challenging in CoM or did i miss something important that makes it easier? Even with all kinds of cigarettes and shit i can't spend any time outside without losing substantial amount of my hp which i can't even get back properly since the shitty quests at rookie village don't give me more money than what i have to spend on first aid kits just to recover from the radiation damage.

Could someone tldr the problems with stalker complete for me? I need to argue with people on the internet

>>13703555

creepy

>>13703555

>crosshairs

You're only hurting yourself.

>>13703512

Space heater master race.

>>13703889

The upside of crosshairs is being able to easily discern hostiles in strenuous situations.

Does CoC have a new update? I've been thinking about playing through it again. Also I remember some anons mentioning one of the better weapons mods too. I was using Arsenal overhaul but the damage can be described as funny.

Anything to make armor worth shit?

how hard is iron man and does it make the game better?

>>13706509

Casual.

>>13706563

I don't play with crosshairs on, I'm just mentioning their largest upside.

>>13706572

There are no upsides to being a casual, only ruined game play experiences.

stupid shit, man

DO NOT PLAY STALKER CLEAR SKY WITHOUT MODS

this is some garbage, do not play clear sky without mods!!!

>>13702125

Copied from the FAQ at cheeki.violates.me

COMPLETE 2009

I leave you to some "old" but trusty copypasta about it

"For better or worse, here is 'Why Complete 2009/2012 Sucks!' (except for Clear Sky)

- All weapons have their accuracy increased by 10-20.

- Damage done to everybody is decreased by various percentages.

- Weight limit is increased by 10kg, the maximum being 70kg. In vanilla, the Exo-suit enabled up to 80kg!

- Limits NPC's eye sight distance so they can't spot you from beyond ~100 meters. Said to remove enemies skill to spot you from "unrealistic distances," but really means you always see them first every time.

- Sound radius of the knife and other critical sounds such as death cries, falling dead bodies, night-vision goggles, grass, and footsteps are greatly reduced.

- scientific suits with 90% rad protection now feature an anti-rad injection system.

- Bandages auto-apply at 10% health.

- An older beta version of ZRP is used for their "bug fixes," making it less stable than vanilla with the latest version of ZRP.

The following features are also available in other mods, but are usually balanced out with other forms of difficulty:

- You can bribe hostile factions to leave you alone.

- A repair kit that lets you service your armor and weapons without the need for a trader can be bought from traders.

- The bar trader and Screw now sell weapons and armor repair services.

- Elite Nightvision, essentially the black & white night vision based on the psy_antenna postprocess effect, replaces the original UV-based blue NV. Perfect vision in the dark is now possible, even without a real light source."

So there you have it.

>>13707213

Which ones

>>13700610

You can turn it off under options

>>13699937

>people have suggested that the game be played vanilla,

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IDIOT

not clear sky, do not play clear sky without proper mods, once you are out of the swamp, the game will kick your ass with magic grenades coming out of the nowhere, mystical RNG hits, stupid gun jamming, and be damn careful with the quick save button or you will end up in a dead trap loop

>>13707229

i dont know yet. i just saw a video someone made a mod that fixed some if the clear sky issues. its not a visual mod but rather an issue fixing mod.

>>13707299

We weren't discussing clear sky my hostile friend

fellas I just arrived in Yanov with the starting armour, where do I get a replacement for this sack of trash I'm currently wearing

>>13693599

>spoonfeed me daddy

Play the fucking game and figure it out.

>>13707632

start with the best mod ever made for a stalker game, the uninstall wizard

>>13708289

That's not a mod, it comes with the game

Startinh Iron man and going to try and complete story mode, wish me luck Stalkers.

>>13708510

Good luck, especially when you get to Monolith territory

>>13708643

For the longest time I was burnt out on this game but the thought of being killed at anytime or raped by mutants makes it feels so much more exciting.

I did some cordan missions and will be doing some at the bar next. I not actually give a shit about traveling light because I need to book it if I see mutants.

I'm having fun.

>>13708665

I gave up on ironman runs for a while after a clear bright day in Yantar when a friendly ecologist unloaded an automatic shotgun into my chest trying to get a blind dog somewhere far behind me. Be sure to keep friendly fire in mind, especially in Yantar and the entrances to Rostok.

>>13708267

>don't wanna be a bitch and consult a wiki

>don't want to deal with forum and leddit faggotry

<HURF DURF FUCK U FAGIT GET OUT OF HIR STALKER XDDDDDDD

we get it, you like circlejerking your e-peens all day long.

>>13708739

I'm sure my run will end in the most bullshit way possible but I like how tense it makes my situations. Before I would just mash quickload and save and see how things turned out.

I'm going to try and complete the story, or get as far as I can.

>>13700280

It's excellent for the price too, although there are a few other common vodka in the US that are even cheaper and are of the same quality (but not Russian): Monopolowa and Sobieski

Any of these are as good as the expensive top shelf vodkas in the US and frankly better than a lot of them.

Any other recent overhaul or storyline mods for any of the games? I've kind of burned out on CoC and I think it's been long enough that I could even enjoy another vanilla run of one of the games, but some new storyline mod would be great.

>>13709319

Don't know about recent, but you could try one of the sgm releases. They are all somewhat different. Currently playing 2.1

>>13708510

Good luck muzhik

>>13708510

What faction did you pick

>>13709387

>>13709354

I think I'm going to try this translated russian mod. Standalone version here:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/wind-of-time/downloads/wind-of-time-13-standalone-version

>>13708904

>I'm sure my run will end in the most bullshit way possible

Such is life in the Zone

>>13709743

Yeah if that synopsis is any indication the translation is somewhat lacking. Not my first foray into the machine translated chernobyl park. And yeah, Russian mods can be wacky even outside of the translation difficulties.

>>13691132

>Is there are mod out there to make all of the artifacts something like panties and all of the NPCs some cute lolis?

Lets face it, there probably is one.

Anons I was playing CoC and got to the wish granted (have story mode on) and answered it, walked out killed some monolith and went to zaton. Upon arriving I made my way to sell shit to beard and I got to the ship and not an NPC was in sight. Nothing showing up on the map or anything. So I walked all over and there is not a single NPC, monster, or anything thing else. Even emissions won't kill me anymore and no I don't have god mode on. I don't know what happened. I didn't put any new mods in or anything just suddenly happened. Anyone have ant ideas what went wrong? Don't really want to start over right now

>>13711484

What did you wish for?

>>13711491

You know…I don't remember. I tried doing the "end the zone" or whatever that option was and it kept crashing the game Everytime so I clicked another one and that's what happened. I hope you aren't going to tell me it's due to the wish

>>13711516

Yep, it's the wish. It's probably the world peace one which did that, the one where you CTD is also part of the wish, since the zone disappeared just like you asked the wish granter to. Basically all of the wishes fuck you over in some way.

>>13711549

Damn Anon I just tried them all. Fuck that shit I was hoping I could just carry on after doing it and be done story mode. Oh well guess I'll wait for 1.5 to release before I play and make sure not to do story. thanks for the help stalker

>>13691132

>all my friends

Those are not your friends.

>>13711617

No problem, the only other one I remember that doesn't have an immediate in-your-face effect is "I want the Zone to be controlled", the world peace one doesn't wipe everyone right away, only the ones that aren't close to you, while the controlled one replaces every spawn (both mutant and stalker) with a controller spawn, so you have to play for a while to notice a difference.

>>13710470

is that tom bombadil?

Just had a shootout in Rostok in the middle of an emission. I was a merc, took down about 14 dutyers (and 1 unfortunate loner) before I bugged the hell out. I was coming from Yantar through the Wild Territory, trying to head back to Dead City through the warehouses. I'd forgotten how the darkness after an emission is pitch black. I haven't been spooked yet aside from the occasional snork jumping from behind a corner, but I got a quest from Sakharov to explore X-18. I'm going in tonight, wish me luck stalkers.

Is there a way to run STALKER under Linux other than a Windows VM?

I play STALKER simply to knife everyone and everything. Especially the Snorks. I yell at them after I kill them with my knife. "LOOK AT YOU. LOOK AT WHAT I MADE YOU!"

I don't have any adderall right now, so playing STALKER would almost make me sad. I really beat that game in and out…and loved it.

>>13714183

Any Stalker game should work pretty well in Wine. It's possible to use the Directx 10 renderer too now, previously it crashed all the time at least for me anyway. I'm using Wine 2.19-staging right now.

>>13714183

>>13714272

You may get some weird artefacts with some of the fancier effects like god rays, if you do try using different drivers ie switching to open source, or closed source if you're already using OS.

>>13714644 (checked)

I have disabled the god ray effect because I find it distracting. The only graphical glitches I have had previously that during rain stretched polys were visible but it seems to be fixed with Directx 10(?), or maybe the rain mod fixed it somehow as I was using it.

>only buffs

>no downside

Am, I missing something here?

>>13718246

Nope artifacts doesn't have any hidden stats, so what is shown there is all the attributes it has. I am not aware of any CoC mods that adds special and/or hidden properties for artifacts. The only mod that I know that does it is OGSE which comes in the form of "If you have too much of those artifacts in your belt then it will explode".

>>13718179

Is that from a mod?

>>13718344 (checked)

Yes I am using this one: http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/lost-to-the-zone

God damn it I got a mission from the ecologists to save an egghead in the swamps, I busted my ass fighting there with my crack squad, fought our way through a tunnel system infested by bandits and saving private ryan'd the shit out of the egghead, then when I told him to follow me the game crashed.

Stilll on my ironman run but I'm trying to think of armor to wear. Any recommendations? I'm also trying to keep light and use artifacts.

I've done ok so far, except when I ran into that controller in the Train yard while headed to yantar. I almost ate it by a zombie bandit behind a door, thank fuck for this shotgun, I miss how fast I could shoot the double barrel but having 7 shots makes up for it I guess.

Okay friends, long story short I've installed this

http://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/addons/pripyat-2016-ao31af3an401dynamichud20

And i was wondering if there is a way to remove HUD 2.0 from the package without fucking up everything OR moving saves to fresh install of AO3 + atmosfear 3.1 + Absolute nature 4

Tried loading saves from the package on fresh installed game without hud 2.0 but shit doesnt work as you can probably guess, new game works.

>>13718179

Looks like an artifact from a mod, I don't remember if CoC has any artifacts with no downside in vanilla, but it's cool if they exist since in SoC there were artifacts which were buffs only, but those artifacts would only spawn in fixed locations and never respawn, for example Mama's Beads in SoC.

>>13718179

In the collectors edition of Stalker Mama's beads made you immune to fatigue, hunger and sleep. The descriptions of most of the artifacts don't line up in the booklet with the ingame ones.

>>13719145

>reads what he's typed

Christ almighty. I mean that the collectors edition comes with a manual describing all the artifacts, and the manual's description doesn't line up for most of the artifacts; such as mama's beads effects.

>>13718573

Good ol' sunrise suit

>>13687287

the correct way to go into the maze is look upwards and notice the air ventilation thing and follow it

>>13719191

I was thinking about a freedom suit due to the artifact containers and that fact thats its light as fug. Maybe I'll check it out. I need money right now so I'll head on over to the warehouses. Maybe I'll see what the mercs are selling while I'm at it. The red forest scares the shit out of me, I wish there was a way around but its such a choke point between the north and south. I wish there was a way underground even if it only made the redforest more appealing by comparison.

>>13719688

> The red forest scares the shit out of me, I wish there was a way around but its such a choke point between the north and south.

I know that feel muzhik. No place to tarry. It gets a bit better once you shut down the scorcher though

>>13720161

>video

Is this an actual emission? It looks much more powerful then the emission from Call of Chernobyl. God damn the vanilla LR-300 looks fucking nice, the one in Arsenal Overhaul looks like a shitty SMG.

>>13720278

Is the LR-300 worth anything? I usually pass them up for an M16 or M4

>>13720442

I never bothered using this gun, I use most of the time AK variants with wooden parts on it since I don't like the AK-10x series which is 2black4me, so its either a AK-47 or AK-74 for me.

Got me a sagia shotgun for my ironman. I have never felt so good about a purchase because it just saved my ass when I ran into a pseudodog pack, has one of the physic ones in it too. I can't decide between the guardian of freedom or the winds of freedom. I'll stick with sunrise for now. I'll probably get a mer suit since they tend to be alright. I like how each faction has a different flavor of suit.

Quick question, I see on the armor screen there is a stat called armor, and a stat called impenetrable. What do they do?

>>13721091

Doesn't master also apparently indirectly make the game easier?

What were they thinking with CoP FOV?

>>13721305

Every weapon in the game does more damage. Yours and those of enemies.

>>13721348

That sounds fucking awesome

>>13721351

Until you figure out your weapons have the accuracy of a rhino shitting, while the NPCs can snipe you with doublebarrel shotguns and throw heat seeking grenades.

>>13721366

Oh, so why is it the recommended way to play?

>>13721371

NPCs have an obscene amount of health, while you die in a couple of bullets regardless of difficulty. On easier difficulties, enemies barely register 9mm bullets, or shotgun blasts. You die a bullet or two faster, while enemies actually can die.

>>13721385

Oh so it's purely a health amount reasons. Yeah I think I'll play Master then.

Wew, wandering around the shithole known as the swamp and I run into Doc and get a bunch of missions from him. This run just got interesting, can't wait to die and rage about it.

>>13718544

Quicksave often, stalker.

>>13718573

Shotguns are a godsend. I'm trying out using nothing but shotguns + my sidearm. Slugs can be really accurate and highly damaging, the only problem is that the ammo is heavy and nowhere near as efficient as a few bullets to the head with an assault rifle. Good thing I turn mutants into mincemeat. I'm using a Saiga right now and it's pretty neat. I wonder if there's a shotgun with a larger mag size that isn't the striker.

>>13695192

>Destroying the zone

Top fucking wew. The rift in the Noosphere is cascading (albeit at a snail's pace) and probably the only thing that has even the remotest chance of containing - much less repairing - the damage is another C-Consciousness. Duty is retarded for not valuing the immense scientific potential of the Zone and Freedom is even more retarded for thinking that it shouldn't be contained at all because "dude, just, like, work around the bloodsuckers and Chimeras hahaha *toke* fuck those Duty pigs for killing all of the good pussy around here".

>>13721774

>Quicksave often, stalker

I do.

I ended up having to open up the scripts and fix the bug myself. Damn rookie programmers not checking for nulls before dereferencing objects.

>>13721774

Yeah, I've noticed I can drop some lower tier enemies in one hit with a slug, this shit rocks. I'm looking to get some sort of sniper next. I'm having trouble finding a damn detector right now, I have the basic one but in my first 10 minutes I looted some great artifact off of some dead stalker. It has something like 7 health regen, gives 4 rads though. If I can use that I can not die as hard when shot at.

Maybe they don't exist in CoC, but I'm playing CoM and just entered lab X16 to find that the stupid hallucination things are in here too. Is there any way to disable them? Their constant screeching ruins the suspense of the dark spooky tunnels. I'm referring to the yellow/orange hallucinations of Bloodsuckers, Pseudodogs and so forth that first appeared at the Red Forest emitter in SoC.

>>13722134

I think thats because of the psy emitter or something, you gotta kill it.

>>13724566

Well yeah I know that but I don't want to go through the tunnels with that shit or deal with it at the other emitter,I just want to disable them.

>>13691132

>>13728722

>I once played only just by quicksaving and ended up in a bug loop. It was to the end of the game and didn't allowed to to progress with the story. I didn't made any additional saves to go back to fix the bug.

That makes you a faggot anon, was it Clear Sky you were playing?

>>13731965

>That makes you a faggot anon

Not at all. Playing without making save points makes you a real man in first place. In fact I would rather categorize people like you as faggots because you rely much more on "muh save points" than someone who doesn't.

It just may don't work out for stalker due to the bugged story progression.

>was it Clear Sky you were playing?

CoC

>>13731978

>Women suck as mods

Yeah, it was tested and I made some research myself.

Female mind is incapable to not to ruin everything. Woman just have a different concept of understanding and doing things. This best way how to think of woman is if you think and talk to them like you would do to pets like for example dogs. Dogs are cute and people like them but you can not expect a dog to run anything and you can not take them serious. And don't forget to pat them even when they fail.

>>13731988

Well done! goooooood post. Oh, your meme is so adorable, where did you get that from? I like your writing style.

>>13732124

Well, nigger, shit started to spiral when woman got the vote and when feminism+sexual revolution+welfare state sealed the fate of the civilization.

>>13732124

And you don't make back-up saves because?

You're still quick-saving, so you can't exactly argue that save points are a negative.

>>13732333

>And you don't make back-up saves because?

Not making additional saving points is the ultimate pinch in playing games.

Here an example: You have friends and a job and a girlfriend - you can not make a back up by that meaning like it's possible in the game and then go back in time to fix your mistakes. Instead you need to use your head to guide through all of this. You need to learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them next time.

Majority of people don't like this, they want to cheat and go back in time to fix the shit they messed up in the past. And in game you have the option to do so; and by doing so, you become a weak faggot, thinking that you can go back in time to replay shit.

Eventually this people never learn anything - their whole concept of life is so false.

Having back ups = fleeing like a faggot.

>You're still quick-saving

>save points are a negative

I never said said save points are negative, and if there are cuck faggots who want to play a game by going back in time to fix in-game reality, well fine it's up to them. Additionally stalker is a flawed and bugged game, that's why I actually suggested in the post above to make save points if you play stalker.

I also played through clear sky without using save points even a single time on my very first try

Is there any way to get a scopeless SVD into Call of Chernobyl?

>>13731988

>decent enough moderators to moderate fucking anything

Keep in mind this is the same board that bans for typos. They were a laughing stock when the site became flooded with refugees and they havn't changed since. Seriously who the fuck shits on Redline? Fuck off faggot

>>13737015

>He doesn't go in all guns blazing and fuck up any Duty faggot and whoever else frequents that gay bar with a shitty AK-74U

You don't deserve to cheeki breeki, go join a faction that's more up to your speed, like Freedom

Is there any mods that add shit like places to stash items so I can take loot back and forth in trips?

>>13738363

Oh, and give lootable bodies more permanence, god damn they disappear quick.

>>13721343

>What were they thinking with CoP

Ftfy.

>>13731988

>famalam

Back to halfchan with you.

>>13733030

Not sure but with STCoP you can attach a kobra sight (1x magnification) to it that overrides the original sight until you detach it, that's close enough for most purposes.

>>13737015

If it's a Loner they'll probably eventually leave thanks to A-life, at least they did in SoC.

>>13738363

>>13738365

What game?

>>13738787

CoP

>>13738847

Not sure then, I'll have a look.

>>13739523

>>13738847

Couldn't find anything I'm afraid. Are you bringing Hercules along with you? A few bottles of that + some energy drinks will let you loot more than you're ever likely to need.

>>13739536

Found two zombies with fucking PKMs. God damn jackpot.

>>13742015

Ah, that might be an issue then. You can probably run back fast enough if they're close.
