Previous Thread:

First for fuck off LoNer1

i think you mean koma. pls let this shit thread die

>no mutant bears

why? They would be fucking awesome.

How do I increase the draw range of grass in CoC?

Not to be the faggot who rocks the boat here, but why do we keep so much shit in the OP that is literally years out of date or otherwise considered worthless?

Like the 1.0008 patch, what kind of madman actually uses that shit?

read your readme file in your install directory for once.

>koma
who?
Is this some discord thing? Is that place still alive? last time I came on it was pretty dead.

make a new one then

Is the Steam group even active

Is the Gmod guy still here?
How is progress?

It's a pain to fix

Is the Ф.O.T.O.Г.P.A.Ф mod worth a playthrough?

Yes but it could use an upgrade. Like the OGSE engine or so. It kinda feels dated.

How is the translation?
Standard google trans?

>Stalker is supposed to be bleak
>I don't feel any different while playing it.

What are the bleakest, most depressing looking mods?

Misery.

I never player Clear Sky and i'll like to do so with mods, the best for said game. Don't care if it alters the original story or not, just want the best for that game(and if possible, with lots of guns)

Vanilla SOC is just a grey and brown slob.

Kill yourself.

but ogse runs like shit.

cs+ao+srp merge in repo.

Ever since I installed CoC I've been dreaming about visiting the generators and lab beneath them. The locations weren't in the original games, but I've always loved the spooky sciency aspects of the backstory.
After disabling the brain scorcher I started my preparations and ended up with a scientist in military armor, military helmet wielding a military sniper rifle and a military assault rifle. Fought my way through Limansk, taking down the helicopter (some monolithian conveniently dropped the RPG with one rocket). Crawled through the hospital. Sprinted through the NPP and found the entrance to the generators.
Walked in and crashed. Why the fuck does this game has to crash on loading the only location I'm actually interested in?

fuck freedom

Had a few revisions. You'll understand it quite well.

1.4 CoCk when?

When your mom will stop sucking cock of her neighbour which is to say - not soon.

>now you will be worm food
I just jumped out the window and ran away, I didnt break anything in the game did I?

You missed the loot but that's it.

What are you refering to my nigger?

Merc ambush at Jupiter. How the fuck can you not remember that?

I found the documents that proved the government gassed 6 billion

well the thing about CoC that I've found is that you can play it for awhile, and then it will break. the reason it has ironman mode so front and center is to ensure the player cannot find crash areas due to dying from single stray bandit bullets while they are tromping around in Garbage. I suppose you could wait for patch 1.4, which will come out sometime next year, if you are dead set on trying to enjoy all the areas in CoC

Try using -noprefetch

rude

Just downloaded Dead City mod for CoP.What am I to expect?

lots of dogs

and a page file; that and -noprefetch fixed my memory crashes with CoC

Weapon soup when?

I love the galil and galil ace weapons.
I hope they become moddable when werejew releases the finished product of the mod.

I also hope werejew adds those AK variants with the small red dot scopes like in STCoP.

POP IN SOMETIME, IT CAN BE FUN AROUND HERE

Firefights in AMK:AE are terrifying as fuck. The heavy breathing of enemies as they scuttle around you is the stuff of nightmares.

>Take down a group of soldiers in Agropom
>While I'm looting them I hear heavy breathing getting closer and closer
>Turn around quickly to a solider crouch running to within 6 feet of me
>He fucking drops me before I can react

Or alternatively:

>Cowering in a corner on a dark rainy night as I'm being surrounded by bandits
>Just the sound heavy breathing and footsteps all around me
>Suspense just builds and builds
>Quickly check behind me and then back again
>A bandit has appeared on the corner when I turn back
>Recoil in fear and surprise, the sudden jerking causing me to throw my aim up to the ceiling
>CYKA BLYAT
>Dead

An open world fps should not be this scary.

Welcome to how gunfights irl are played out

If you want to make shit even more suspensful do iron man walkthrough aka permadeath.

>tällane

People breath like they all weight 400kg and ran a marathon?

U know what I meant u little shit

No sorry I don't, I don't play paintball with fat people.

i haven't been here for half a year and we're still doing this i see

Talking about the intense pressure part

Fuck Flint

why? He seems to be one of the most experienced stalkers

Meh COC fucking blows the novelty of playing Monolith or Bandits and having all maps wears off quickly as there is fuck all to do
>muh exploration

every single stalker game offers exploration yet it still has proper quests. It made me appreciate CS maps more and that's about it.

Fuck off flint

So I finally got LA working with the 1.03 patch. I have some questions.

In Barkeep, is there a combination for the safe? What's inside it?

pr0n

In the same room, on the computer there are puzzles to solve. Does anything happen if any or all of them are solved?

CS > COP > shit > SOC

...

...

Which mod, in you guys' opinion, had the best randomization when it comes to mutant spawning?

fuck off

And finally, where can I find these clips on the Bandit radio?

pastebin.com/NBMqWVQ1

Has there been indie clones of stalker or anything similar?

For such a popular game there seem to be limited attempts at copies

SoC:
Does ZRP conflict with either:

Absolute Nature 1.3
Absolute Structure 1.0
STALKER Shaders MAX 1.06

I've been having a plethora of crashes

this is the dx8 staticlight error switch to dx9 or wait for the next update

The closest I've ever heard were a few kikestarter scams.
Probably not a huge market in indie circles for an FPS set in dark depressing eastern europe. White people live in Europe after all, indie homos hate whities.

Are you sure you're on the right patch?

So I got zombiefied in OGSEand now bullets no longer damage me. Any idea how to fix? I'm thinking I'll just restart.

A question, does AMK:AE mess with the vanilla story much?

It doesn't at all.

I'm in 1.4, where should i be?

Is Strelok's custom AK the best gun in the game? I don't see any reason to use other shit.

You should be using the patch the mods were designed to run on. Readmes and mod pages usually hold this piece of information.

Thanks, how much of a redlight is this?

>- Tested with patch 1.0005 and 1.0006. Should also work with 1.0004.

You should be okay. Why are you using 1.0004, though?

Used to play when all mods used that patch and i just stuck to it, i'm updating it, maybe that will fix it.

Lucky, I'm stuck doing normal AMK cause AE crashes on new game.

Were you crashing because of a barbwire texture thing?

Not sure, is there something I should look for in the logs?

what do your logs say?
I started another AE playthrough a few days ago and haven't had issues so far

Gimme a low spec mod for cop dear thread

Anyone?

Uninstall.exe


For real though, is the game even that demanding on low settings?
I don't think I've ever heard of a mod specifically for low-end machines.

Autumn aurora is literally nothing but brown textures.

Should i play this game with steam? Will it rekt my modded files?

nah, you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks

No problem

Complete

Nah i just meant that it's it's not bloated to fuck and wants 128gigs of ram

Is the Major a mary sue?

Escape from Tarkov

Can't quite get my logs, there is nothing in the logs folder, I'll reinstall and see if anything happens or if I can get the crash thing to pop up, I originally used the Moddb amk ae so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

a known problem is selecting a binocular frame option in the extras folder.
DON'T install either of the options, leave the original binocular file.
I've run into that issue, so just saying.

It would be a pleasant surprise if Escape from Tarkov has some STALKERish stuff thrown in.

wonder what the plan is behind 1.4
>release this week or wait?

you mean like, sci-fi kind of stuff?
I doubt it, i haven't done a ton of research but i don't think that's what they're going for.

it could be really good, but it could just be another crappy "survival" game with some good shooting mechanics. we'll see.

Aight, I'll reinstall and see what happens, I was originally running normal AMK just fine with a small amount of crashes, I'll do just a plain install and see if anything works.
