Previous Thread:

first for freedom

2nd for Loners

post here instead please

trying to let this thread die, since i cant delete it

Is Call of Chernobyl any good?

...

if you're a guy who likes to do quests it might be a little lacking but it has the entire zone to explore so if that is your thing go ahead

...

COC crashes on startup for me. All I did was run Cocdater. What gives?

Is there a mod for SOC that lets you put a scope/silencer on the Tunder S14?

did you run the updater in your main CoC installation folder

>adjustable sight
Which mod(s)?

Yo is it just me or does no one play guitar in Call of Chernobyl??

How does LURK compare to the other mods for SoC? I've only ever played SoC with LURK and loved it, but now I'm curious to try it with some other mods. What do you think would be best for someone who really likes LURK?

Thinking about giving Zone of Alienation a try...

Looks like the other one died instead... well, shit,

Well, how about you mimic how exposure to radiation would work in real life? You don't receive damage, but rather, suffer long-term consequences (decrease in carry weight and stamina recovery, slightly decreased movement speed to simulate overall weakness, less effective hunger reduction from consuming food to simulate problems with digestion, faster dehidration to simulate diarhea and vomiting without actually having player to perform any of those things, visual ques for nausea) depending on the amount you've been exposed to, up to slow death in a couple of days if not treated properly. Make it so you can only slightly relieve the symptoms using certain medications available to player, but to get rid of sickness completely you have to visit hubs with proper facilities available in them.
Just remember to balance it properly.

think you're right. ive heard the harmonica in rostok but thats about it

:^)

EVERYONE POST YOUR STALKAN LOADOUTS

Anyone of where to increase the chance of playing songs? I heard harmonica in Swamp once, but that's it.

Even in Vanilla CoP I remember I never heard guitar.

...

There's 2-3 spots in Misery CoP(Don't know if this applies to vanilla) Where I've heard guitars and they're all in Jupiter. 1 is the duty side of the station, a guy plays guitar sometimes on bunk bed. The 2nd one is the campfire near the research bunker. And the third one, which I'm not so sure about is the Freedom side, the guy that usually sits next to Uncle Yar.

I think the main reason for this is that CoP has a lot less loner campfires or loner camps in general in comparison to the other games, there's a lot more hostile locations for sure.

I've never liked the idea of 'permanent' radiation exposure in Stalker. It's like Lost Planet, where you're ultimately just fighting the clock. I do really like the more sophisticated effects, though. A well,-implemented radiation system (or damage/effects of all types) would be just as good as a well-implemented weapons, armor, or items addon imo.

OK guys just a heads up

i spent the last half hour -45 minutes troubleshooting why OBS wouldnt for the love of FUCK ... capture clear sky in game capture mode.

turns out it was caused by

in the OP

as soon as i deleted those 3 dll's (I accidentally left them in my bin folder when troubleshooting dx10 issue)

but as soon as i deleted those, restarted game + obs and tried to hook the game in OBS, bam, worked no problem.

lmaooooooo

disregard the backpack guns, they're for sale

am i doing something wrong or is SGM just going to run like shit no matter what?

Try turning off the extra anomalies.

>30

what

After some clean up

FPS counter for fraps

i know what it is, just wondering how you are at 30fps

Only using gear I find in stashes.

...

...

Gonna fire up RMA for the first time.
What I'm in for?

Cue Super Mario death music.

how to disable hit markers in Shoker mod?

I finished entire trilogy on Master and want to replay Call of Pripyat with some spicy mods. What do you recommend for first modded playthrough? I was thinking about some weapon mod and something, that will tweak game a little bit. Any recommendations?

TAZ, OWR, Shoker

Maybe Shoker or Misery?

So which is better for CoP, Atmosfear or vanilla weather effects? I tried to look for a comparison but didn't really find a good one.

SWTC. AF has amazing blowouts tho.

Did anything happen with that Wormfood update?

When's the earliest I can find a VAL in stock SoC?

Army warehouses probably

low performance pc + dx8 mode @ low 1024x768 + turned up textures, drawdistance and grass intensity gives semi-stable 30 fps

Pistol and trench-coat only run was fun as fuck.

what's your wish, Havel?
>aside from unlimited ammo and a license to kill

i'd kill for a good mod that expanded on limansk

AMK 1.4 or OL 3.1?
I've never tried AMK, only played a few mods for ShoC.
So, I'm wondering, which mod (or any other one) do you recommend for the old build feeling (can't install OGSE because I only have 3GB of RAM)?

>I've never tried AMK
What the fuck, negr? Get on it right now.

Well, IIRC I only played OL 2.2, which back then I read it was an AMK variant so I guessed AMK was more old.
Does it have chimeras and burers, shit like that?

Yes, it does. AMK is literally the mother of all mods.

Great, thanks m80.
I always preferred vanilla ShoC for some reason.

After shutting down the last lab and reviewing the investigation I decided the zone was in violation of a number of laws.

So I decided to shut down the whole zone and retire to Croatia and hunt gypsies instead.

Final stats

HOW TO DISABLE FUCKING HIT MARKERS IN SHOKER YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARDS?

wow be nice

Kill yourself

Why doesn't Sakharov sell any guns or ammo in STCOP+Itemsoup?

Is AO3 better than Shoker? Why is Gunslinger fucking dead?

Presumably because he's a scientist and not a government sanctioned gun-runner.

>playing clear sky
>nighttime is actually nighttime, super fucking dark
>faction wars
>new mechanics

this is pretty fun mates why is it considered the worst

Because you're fucking gullible as shit
Kill yourself

I see you're less than five minutes into the game. It's okay, another five minutes and you'll see why.

Kill yourself

Because it's wore than SoC and CoP. Quite simple really.

Try playing it past the swamps.

Kill yourself

Anyone managed to make the AKS74U take scopes in OGSE 0693? I know the mesh has them but can't find how to enable them

Okay, and where are the bunker's guards supposed to get ammo from, their anuses?

Try talking to the old fuck in the rookie village. The one that isn't Pidorovich.

Army and whoever else feels like making a donation (foreign governments included).

he'll modify the full size AK but not the krinkov

I'm talking modding shit, not ingame stuff

And who would distribute it to them, and to human egghead players?

>not the krinkov
Wrong.

Your mother. You need to earn good boy points to buy ammo.

I have a krinkov in my inventory and he's not offering to modify it

Then try talking to barkeep. I clearly remember being able to use optics on Krinkovs in that abortion of a mod.

welp, managed to do it

you have to have it equipped and with a mag inserted for it to work

thanks for the help

uninstall shoker mod.

AO3, STCoP or OWR?

Get out of here stalker

there aren't many dank guns in stcop

Coming back home from a trip to Zaton.

Has anything really amazing been made for/added to CoC in the last 6 months?

Nothing absolutely mindblowing comes to mind, mostly just a shitload of quality of life improvements.

1.4 official is going to be the first major milestone in awhile, the changelog so far is a mile long and all the weapon packs are being carefully rebalanced and merged into the so-called "AO3E" pack by the CoC team themselves.

Dank guns are the worst desu.
To rephrase, which mod do I use for the most quality guns?

>duga free

I hate the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series for thinking that the brain scorcher could ever be the fucking duga radar.

Why?

Duga did appear as a separate radar in Limansk.

...

So I played some CoCk and I noticed that stalkers don't swear at me often, bandits don't also don't say cheeki breeki that often too. So I loaded ShoC to see if they were like this, I fought some bandits and realized I was not wrong, they often swear at me (they not only say cheeki breeki often but they say Ukrainian shit at me like papali cyka).
Strange that I tried CS, and it was the same, then I loaded CoP and heard only one cheeki breeki but no swear, so I don't know what the fuck.
Might be that CoC uses settings from CoP? If so, where I can modify this, to make them stalkers more talkative?
Also sorry If I'm wrong, I'm didn't slept well so it might be that.

That's the brain scorcher, aka one of the duga radars according to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. It would not have the power required to transmit as far as the duga radar did in ending 1970s. Each one of those would need 2,5 MW to be a duga radar, not only that but those are omni rather then directional and would require even more than 2,5 MW. Not possible.
