Previous Thread:

...

Is there a compatibility patch for ITEMSOUP+AO+Outfit? If not, I will have to use STCoP, but the piece of shit comes with new particles that breaks my shitty PC. So, is there a way to remove these particles? Removing particles.xr seems to do nothing.

i doubt its the particles.xr cuaseing a crash, if you are playing in dx10/dx11 make sure winds update kb2670838 is uninstalled

>Is there a compatibility patch for ITEMSOUP+AO+Outfit?

outfit??,
shouldnt be that many discrepancies. you could easilly merge it urself if needed

>i doubt its the particles.xr cuaseing a crash, if you are playing in dx10/dx11 make sure winds update kb2670838 is uninstalled

I tried and it worked, but STCoP still give me stutters whereas AO doesn't, and It's pretty impressive given that both have pretty much the same texture size.

I've found that STCoP has some files from PP3 (Particle Paradise) by default (it has PP3 in extras, that's strange).

I don't know why STCoP stutters so much.

>shouldnt be that many discrepancies. you could easilly merge it urself if needed

No, there isn't, 20 or so trade files. It's just that I'm fucking lazy to merge them.

Well thanks for the advice anyway.

It really is quite pathetic how long they're holding back CoC 1.4

>'weed'
don't trust it

Didn't you noticed that the beta patch is not in addons anymore? Nigger, they're fucking close.

>pic related

Holy shit, very fucking soon.

It hasn't been there for like a fucking month. I'm considering booting up 1.3.2 and doing a Duty play which I was saving for 1.4 since they are taking so fucking long.

fucking cry about it, then get over it.

>It hasn't been there for like a fucking month

My, I thought it was way less.

It's gonna be release +1-2 months at least before all the mods are updated.

So yeah I'm upset they are taking so fucking long, we're looking at the new year before it's playable and they aren't even wasting all this time doing anything important

Misery 2.2 when?

i'd rather it take a little longer and not be buggy as shit.

i'm just waiting for the TAZ addon for it.

This must be what hell feels like. Let the Zone take me.... I can feel it beckoning me...

There's not a single mod that fixes this type of bullshit. Why?

nICE ANNO.

Because it requires some serious coding to fix, and modders can't really program.

>Not Pripyat Purp or Chernobyl Chronic
They had one fucking job.

>Removing Firelake
>Music that was licensed to be used in the original game
Next thing you know, the weapon packs are going to lose half their models.

But some mods do the opposite, like giving bandits better aiming or range.

>soon knifes and bows only, maybe even slingshot

GSC can give modders permission to bundle their assets into stand-alone mods like Lost Alpha and CoC, but they can't give away the rights to use music that they themselves had to licence. If modders want to use that music, they need to negotiate a separate licence with the band and/or record label.

cossacks?

this. is also one of the reasons SOME musicians are scum.

the game, and mods for all three games, have been out for how long? and their JUST starting to crack down on licensing? could they not just make it so the radio's are customizable from a config, that even Misery managed to accomplish?

>and their JUST starting to crack down on licensing?

Well, GSC just came back from the dead.

Who knows, maybe GSC will send a DMCA to the CoC modders for offering pretty much all STALKER games for free.

mods are starting to blur together for me, but I'm pretty sure that SGM 2.2/LS had lowered night vision for NPCs

AMK 1.something or other a thousand years ago had AI that would become blind as bats at night but not during the day. You could actually go into Agroprom with a silenced Makarov and steal the docs for Barman and kill a few guys without tripping the alarm.

I'm playing clear sky right now with AO + SRP and in the swamp renegades each have 800-1000 ammo rounds for some gay pistol in their inventory when they die

what's up with that?

>fucks up installation
>WHOA, HOLD IT THERE, WHAT'S GOING ON?!

How could I possibly fuck up the installation? I dragged two folders in my directory and that was it

>swamp renegades each have 800-1000 ammo rounds for some gay pistol

what ammo? didnt happen for me

Actually, now that you mention it, wasn't there some kind of bug in CS where NPCs would end up with ammo from stashes in their inventories?

Someone on the previous thread was asking of the VSS Vintorez actually spawns in CoC with Arsenal Overhaul.

Yes, it does. I just found one on a Loner in the Pripyat Outskirts (CoP map). Kind of silly to have to wait that long or go that far; I've already deactivated the Duga.

...

at least they fucking released their mod and don't make page long articles and 30 minute videos about shit we won't see for 2 years like every other stalker mod.

RIP Lurk, best sound design we'll never hear.

the easiest way to get one is doing the revenge assasination missions you always get one as a reward. nimble also sells a black vss "tide" with improved stats.

Firelake isn't removed

error on someones part?

i guess trusting the repo isnt a smart idea eh?

Can't you still find one in the barracks at the Freedom base?

Also you can always just get a VSK instead.

I think you are just misunderstanding the diff comparison, look at the raw file, you'll see it's still used.

>Vulgargrad

Eyyyyyyyy

youtube.com/watch?v=38Ldwaqlqm8

except its not a diff view.

bitbucket.org/revo_lucas/call-of-chernobyl/commits/059024061a95c74f773b7d2ee0e8c08985aed639


this is the file

and it is removed from
[gar_smart_terrain_3_5_radio]

ok well it is a diff view, but still it's removed from gar_smart_terrain

...

kek

>ok gotta run m8 seeya la-
>pls dont kill me!!

I fully upgraded both and the Val is actually better, despite the folding stock and generic PSO scope.

So it was a wild goose chase all along.

The point I'm arguing is that they didn't cut firelake from CoC

well according to the file, they did in
[gar_smart_terrain_3_5_radio]

Just take two steps forward, you fucking asshole!

what addons you using?

found the culprit, it was death_manager.script, from SRP 1.1 optional

Also is there any way to fix the fucking crash when loading a save after you died? whenever I try to load hardsave/quicksave/autosave my game crash if I'm currently dead, then I reboot game and saves load fine

>SAKHAROV_IS_A_PIECE_OF_SHIT.jpg
lmao

game is CS with AO+SRP

Alright, now for a reason I ignore, the game won't fucking start, it crashes as soon as it opens

There is absolutely no reason for it not to start

I'm fucking done with CS, you fuckers were right all along

you seemed to have screwed up your install
thats not a normal thing

how would i possibly screw up my install?? It's literally replacing 2 files and coying 2 folders

This fucking game is fucked up
FUCK CLEAR SKY REEEEEEEEEEE

Best mod for CoP?

Misery 2.1

funny....works fine on my system.

>REEEEEEEEEEEE

fuck me that sucks so much I wanted to wait for misery 2.2

Stupid question, but does it work without AO?

It's a merge, from the repo
*sigh*
I guess I could try to reinstall and play only with srp to see if things are going better...

Played all the Stalker games. Is the Metro series any good? I hear they have very similiar atmoshere, if very different gameplay (Alot more open then most FPS's but not as much as stalker)

yes, i recently played them both. pretty damn good for what they are.

would recommend playing.

>Misery 2.2
>CoC
WHICH WILL COME OUT FIRST PLACE YOUR BETS!

All on Gunslinger.

Are you fucking with me or something? That is irrelevant. It still plays on sid's radio among others.

Metro is on rails, so it's basically like playing a movie.

are you fucking with me?

GUNSLINGER WHEN

tomorrow

Darryl's started working on them again. Maybe all the core changes are now in 1.4, so he's bringing them up to spec for release looks like.

bitbucket.org/Darryl123/call-of-chernobyl-official-addons/commits/all

The main addons are the weapon packs and they are being updated by Darryl, so they'll be out very soon after if not the same time as 1.4.

It's Half Life meets Stalker. Somewhat more open than Half Life in the overworld, but still overall linear. Gameplay is far closer to Stalker. Exploration is rewarded and is not easy if you're running low on the very gas masks and filters you're scrounging for.

It's a very good game if you're looking for a Stalker-like shooter.

The original 2033 has stealth similar to Stalker - quite hard to pull off as NPCs react to sound and will not let you stealth the guy standing right behind them without noticing it. Redux makes stealth easier, alas, but has significant improvements elsewhere both in gameplay and graphics. Redux also comes with multiple gameplay modes so you can choose between scarcity and exploration vs straight up shooting, a cool feature.

>It's Half Life meets Stalker
More like call of duty meets stalker/bioshock m8

I only played last light and seems like the only thing you're doing in that game is following some guy down a linear tube or doing the horrible stealth which you have to do because you get a bad ending otherwise

been gone for months
new mods?

Yes but you would have to tie it all in with how much light is cast on you. Which modders can't.

HL/CoD sure, they're all linear in story. But neither has as much in the way of exploration giving you rewards like Metro does, which is something it shares with Stalker - while Metro has a very linear story, the levels and maps are less open and have more hidden nooks and crannies than many linear shooters.

You should play the original 2033 if you can. It's closer to Stalker in atmosphere/gameplay than LL, which is more like a typical shooter than the original 2033. Still a linear story though.

have you ever played half life?
holy shit man

moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/original-weapon-renewal

Yes, to the end. We're talking about linearity in story, not whether HL is Metro in all respects. None of those games offer the open gameplay of Stalker which dumps you in Cordon and lets you get on with it. You can skip entire sequences in SoC if you so choose. Neither HL/Metro let you do that, nor do they let you freely roam between levels you've opened. Nothing much more than that to the comparison.

Couldn't give a fuck about CoD which I played for 2 hours on a mate's PS3 once.
