/sg/ - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. General

You're mom m8

Kek, so the dev team was buttmad because of him

how can a grown man think his animes are real

The generic traders in Warfare that spawn at smart terrains that normally don't have traders seem to all share the same inventory file. Specifically I wanted to make the trader that spawns at the CoP military base in Pripyat Outskirts spawn with the same inventory as the military trader at Agroprom.

Try this: mega.nz/#!T9oEjDQB!rIkblhGOlwLvl8F763sIZYs9FeT_gfcdcsx_83Rb1kE

I haven't tested it since I'm at work for another 40 minutes or so, but that should work.

And on the subject of WS:
Gonna be working on traders, the spawning script, and correcting more icons for WS tonight. I posted a small patch while I was here at work for the aug a3 and the pkm texture.

Playing AMK 1.4.1 with AA2. I get this wierd shadow that's behind me? It appears at the edges of the screen as I turn around.
Anyone know a fix?

The fix is to read the OP you dink.

Oh, thanks a bunch. I'll test it next time I'm there.

If it's not too complicated/you aren't too busy, could you explain how exactly you changed it? Was interested in going through the different maps at some point and diversifying trader inventories. Don't know fuck all about stalker modding but I'll try my best to guess,

Comparing the two files to the originals it looks like you:

1. Combined every faction trader in the logic_stalker.ltx into one entry (mil_smart_terrain_7_10_freedom_trader) and set its inventory to trade_military.ltx

2. Removed any references to the other traders in pri_a16.ltx

Seems pretty straightforward, but are there any other details that I missed?

Thanks.

That's pretty much it. Just pay attention to the suitable condition in the trader file - thats the main part of merging them. Other than that, that's everything really.

Awesome, thanks a bunch

just re-installed AO , less than 20 minutes in I get this.

For which game?

CoC, sorry forgot to put that in.

you installed item soup. OR installed over a mod that had item soup included in it.

unless they added that shit to the RC4 beta patch, which i dont think they did.

ah okay thanks.

If you're running the 1.4 RC4 beta or whatever, make sure you've followed these steps:

Installation
------------
1. Update Call of Chernobyl to the latest officially released version.
2. Replace your Call of Chernobyl 'gamedata' folder with the one included.
3. Back up and extract any other folders (example: '_bin') over those you already have.

Official Weapon Addons
4. Extract your weapon addon as normal EXCEPT for its 'configs' and 'scripts' folders.
5. Extract the weapon addon patch included in this release candidate to your 'gamedata' folder.

I thought Veeky Forums threads dont die easy, what happened?

and now I've got my own question

In step 3, does "replace" mean "delete old gamedata and then paste this one" or "paste new gamedata and replace all"?

Everyone's playing Werejew Weapon Soup (I hope)

>Everyone's playing Werejew Weapon Soup (I hope)
I haven't even beat SoC for the first time yet.

So is weaponsoup supposed to make my game freeze for 30 seconds every time I walk 10 feet?

sg has been on life support for like a year. Veeky Forums threads don't die easy, but there's no compensating for hours without posts.

get to it, tovarisch

no

We're at an awkward crossroad between high profile mod releases, namely a couple *soups, as well as the big boy CoC 1.4 patch which has been in various beta stages for over a month.

but we all know misery 2.2 is what we're all waiting for

its a feature lad

>In step 3, does "replace" mean "delete old gamedata and then paste this one" or "paste new gamedata and replace all"?

i would assume it means paste warfare gamedata over coc gamedata merging folders and overwritigng files. because the coc gamedata should have some files that are probably not included with warfare gamedata.

I meant for the 1.4 RC4 beta patch
moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/beta-patch-14-rc

butt fuck it I'll try it both ways

>misery 2.2
Literally who cares.

i ignore your shitposts
i dindu nfufin

Thanks for turning me into a Rhodie along with Oxide nigger

i did nothing rhodesia related

>but we all know misery 2.2 is what we're all waiting for

>missouri

Jokes on you, I actually leaved the game (and general) months ago just to pick it up again yesterday because my own self-hate for not understanding differential calculus, which makes me unable to concentrate in its studies.

I love AMK already.
Seems like Sid and the loners don't want to trade 80% of my shit though. What gives?

>mission to find documents in X18
>get to the body with the code
>suddenly those gas leaks explode
>get ragdolled so fucking hard i go through walls and get asked if i want to switch zone

i wasn't ready

press yes

it respawned me on top of the laboratory, wasn't dead but had 0 health, couldn't move or open inventory

spooky

>Seems like Sid and the loners don't want to trade 80% of my shit though

This is a big part of what makes the economy in 1.4.1 tougher. It's by design.

I don't get why anyone would play 1.4.1 over 1.4. Why would you want LESS enemy spawns? It's a part of the AMK experience.

There's a significant difference between 'more spawns than vanilla' or 'enough spawns for two vanillas'

The hilariously batshit spawns (controllers starting zombie apocalypses in cordon, 7 electrochimeras at the entrance to radar) were my favorite part of AMK Complete while it was also least my favorite in soup.

Hows armorsoup coming along? loved that shit. And Jew - much love senpai

what's with the conga lines

T-thanks Vitya.

>Ivan you bought exoskeleton? YOU ARE FOOL.

Is the Joint pak 2 mod in the OP mega up to date?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 when?

never

does the latest coc come with the Absolutes?

no

Why does my stalker SoC have "stalker complete 2009" on the title screen? Do I have it installed already for some reason? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and looking for the mod on directories and it is nowhere to be found

ok and does ws work with any other addons right now? eg itemsoup?

delete gamedata

item soup, no, it would need to be made compatible/merged

same with everything else.

many thanks user

Honestly I wouldn't use it for a while unless you're wanting to help me test all shit and find bugs; the release up there is just a prerelease with the mindset that the community would help me make it good with input and finding bugs etc. Traders are fucked and world models are iffy / incorrect on shit, a few icons are messed up, etc etc. I'll be working on getting it to completion for the next week or two honestly.

Addons that don't modify any of the weapon shit or icons etc MIGHT work with, but I haven't tested it with anything but warfare obviously.

and yet tards still come on here to complain, smfh.

Is the 3.2 patch cumulative? I'd like to help, but last time I installed WS and 3.1 over 1.3.20 and got a crash on startup.

Yeah every patch from now on will be cumulative. If it crashes at startup again just let me know and paste the log to pastebin.com or something.

nah im planning on logging a list of shit i find to help out. tryna do my part.

Hell yeah, that's what I like to hear man.

I guess its unavoidable. The help I've gotten has been really great though. Having posts to go through that have the issues is a lot easier to deal with than me playing and fixing as I go. I guess in a way its a nice form of organization, just ctrl + f for (you) and its easy to keep up haha.

Hey fellas, sorry to bother you so late in the evening / early in the morning, but I had a question. Downloaded CoC, installed it to my Pripyat directory, updated it, everything went fine, but now the "Survival Mode" is broken? I always spawn in the lab beneath pripyat, and trying to exit that area crashes to desktop with no error. Any advice?

Got finals tomorrow but after like 1:00 itll be summer break for me so ill be playtesting most the evening and into the weekend. I'll try to come up with a good typed list of shit with details for you.

>installed it to my Pripyat directory

That is where you failed.

>I guess its unavoidable

yeah it pretty much is, and at least half are pretending to be retarded

Is there a mod that makes any of the three games look closer to the Tarkovsky movie?

Really, I want to play the shit outta this game, but the mud color palette always turned me off a little. The multi-colored HUD doesn't help too much either.

Try tweaking the colour palette in your graphics driver suite!

Funny how things like that, and settings such as contrast, saturation etc, affect the visible results.

Also mud coloured? It's not qauke m8.

What is the latest news on SS? Any significant changes over the past 2 years?

I use SweetFX, look in the directory, there's bound to be a preset that you'll like.

>the Rookie Centipede

>Go to mercy kill bandit
>Hits his torso hitbox
>He's still alive
>He falls into an adjacent whirlygig
I tried.

Does WS have its weapons and scopes in the debug menu yet?

You guys need to understand that just because 1.4.1 has supposedly "less" spawns than 1.4 that it doesn't equal vanilla gameplay.

I've run into crazy hordes of mutants in 1.4.1 so many times despite this fact that I'm convinced they only barely toned down the spawns.

On this topic, I've just ran into a Controller and a Chimera in the Cordon.
I'm glad I killed the Chimera. Apparently some Stalker left a reward at the Bar.

dumbfuck

it's not hard to add them yourself

I guess I'll also chew your food for you.

Thanks but I chew my own food.

This post also suggests that you want me to digest your food for you.

Anomalies can do that, yes
The zone is a strange place

You can bump that 20 to higher values on modern machines, it's not very expensive to begin with. Try 32 for eg or higher.

It's not LESS so much as better thought out spawns. 1.4.1 can still do the crazy spawns, it's not just 10x one mutant in one spot and is better spread out.

Jesus. Wonder how many of those you could light up at once with one round of buckshot.

If it's at 2.09, yes. But use the pastebin that's floating around these threads instead, it has an up to date list of everything you need and the most recent translation.

Survival mode is broken, completely. It can not be played.
