In order of release, patch or get ZRP if you want a less buggy first time.
Change your grass settings using r__detail_ commands.
Don't enable AA, turn sun settings to mid or low and turn down your object detail and vision distance.
Maybe install Atmosfear (weather) or Absolute nature depending on what game you're playing.

Itemsoup broke military trader, only sells ammo and consumables now.

How to fix?

What makes this game playable despite being this old ?
After watching a little bit it doesnt look charming desu.

Someone, please

I can't see anything missing, maybe I'm just blind though.

What is this stupid house icon there to the right of my screen? It was green a while ago, now it's yellow.

Playing CoP SGM 2.2 Lost Soul, and I sure as hell can't remember that icon being in CoP. Then again I haven't played it since I beat it at release

Maybe you're tired.
I'm not sure, but I think that SGM had a tiredness feature, but it was a while since I last played it.

Like said you need to sleep.

I took the lazy way out and copied the duty trader and changed their armours into the military ones
pastebin.com/PPkUDAf8
copy paste into config>misc>trade>trade_military.ltx

Oh, very likely. I haven't slept because it won't let you if you're irradiated and every fucking tree stump in the game is a pocket of red super radiation for some fucking reason, so I always have rad on me.

Hey it worked, thanks dude.

Probably missing some stuff he used to sell but oh well.

comfy

>"gud"

you fucken ruined this pic for me fucking faggot

fug

deleted my post

editing the .dds of that texture as we speak in 4K and using the Misery rust and grunge brushes

took a shower

kek

Oh hi! I didn't notice you!

Is there a way to force sleep in AMK without a sleeping bag? I'm sleepy and I'm at a very safe place (the mobile lab in yantar) but I've been waiting for 20ish minutes and nothing happens

what do you mean you've been waiting? you don't just fall asleep if you're near a bed.

I've been standing in place because I don't wanna fall asleep in the middle of a fight or an anomaly field.

ONLINE EXCLUSION ZONE MY ASS

hows the performance in SGM 2.2 Lost Soul

Post some ironman challenges.

ayy fucking lmao strelok

...

ok here's what I did, I used a bunch of scientific medikits (I read somewhere that they cause tiredness as a side effect) and that did it.

Perfectly fine once you fix the bug that murders your fps when looking at fires, but that's a vanilla issue.
There is also the regular stutter when the game spawn things. I don't think I've experienced any issues directly related to the mod itself.

Can enemies see your flashlight?

had a psuedogiant spawn right behind me when loading into AW, in 1.4

with proper script yes
but they also detect you easier, since there's luminosity_factor for actor

Post night raid loadouts

>You can use faction patches as a secondary repair item in itemstew

>military starts with a leather jacket instead of the cut soldier uniform
>soldier uniform isn't even in the game but ecologist guard outfit out of all things is
gj coc

install outfit addon u dumbo

Neat, got any idea what new features it has? Only played SGM 2.1

Are escort missions bugged in 1.4? I just returned to the bunker with the scientists at the Jupiter bunker and nothing happens. I've brought them inside all the way too.

yes, they are bugged

I loaded an earlier save and it worked for me, but it seems this doesn't fix it 100% of the times

It's lacking some quests from 2.1, has a couple extra maps that are empty save for some tiring fetch quests. Most people use the skip patch to skip those new maps. What it does have is a couple of weapon pack merges - Lost Soul, Enot.

does that work for 1.4?

...

there's a version for 1.4 but it doesn't work with itemsoup

something fucked up with your dart ammo friendo.

+

>Can't open section 'ammo_12x76_dart-m'

meaning the specific ammo type is not defined in the config files yet another file calls upon it. Check the ammo definitions in gamedata/config/weapons

use your brain and create a section with the right name, preferably by copypasting the ammo_12x76_slug section or whatever it's called

just FYI that's shotgun ammo. CTRL+F 'buckshot' or 'shot' should get you to the shotgun ammo defs

...

O shit, what are these? What mod?

That looks like either AMK:AE or AA2

For some reason I don't get any logs or clipboard shortlogs when I crash, there isn't even bugtrap or anything, just a black screen and "X stopped working"
Following the path from fsgame.ltx leads me to an empty log file.

I tried what you told me a few times already but it still crashes.

agent ransack the whole mod folder for 12x76_dart-m and see what comes up

may just be a typo in a NPC loadout, trader inventory or in a script (AFAIK there's loose and boxed ammo in ZoA)

Who buys mutant parts?
Seems like no trader wants it.

guys with big heads

Sakharov and stalkers

No clue, I just reinstalled yesterday and grabbed a mod.

This all sounds stupid, why would it be missing stuff and have empty maps? Is the patch you mention the Zaton start thing?

Sciencefags in Yanov, Yantar. Random stalkers buy em too.

Seems like ammo_12x76_dart-m is the boxed version of ammo_12x76_dart.
pic related.
I'll keep searching soon but maybe someone'll get an idea.

Hold up why am I neutral to Clear Sky as a Merc? They were hostile in 1.4.00

...

the zone holds no animosity

They took 2.1 apart for 2.2 and never finished putting it back together. Likewise, the new maps didn't get all the love in terms of content. Yeah, the Zaton start patch that skips swamps and cordon, 2 of the new maps in 2.2, because you know they're so full of great new content for you to play.

Just downloaded the Call of Chernobyl .zip

What do I do with it now lads?

AO for CoC 1.4 continues to be the piece of shit it was for 1.3.20 and earlier. Stalkersoup no longer holds the record for laser beam shotguns, AO even enables tracers to let you know you're being killed by buckshot from a mile away.

Hope STCoP gets fixed up for 1.4 soon and doesn't have the broken stash and weapon distribution that makes stashes overflow with every gun and weapon addon in the game.

I don't really 'get' Freedom. Do they actually consider themselves 'anarchists' or is that just what Duty pejoratively calls them? They have leaders and they do good things sometimes (like guarding the barrier), but then for some reason they're neutral with Bandits. Why are they okay with bandits?

m8 CoC is a fucking BASE, some aspects are obviously flawed

as for tracers if you don't know how to disable them in three seconds flat you're part of the issue

Frankly, Freedom is the most illogical faction in whole STALKER series.

Who gives a fuck.
All factions except for the eggheads and based duty need to be purged.

did you know that duty is full of gayfaggots tho?

Does anyone know if CoC has actor.ltx?
I'm trying to give myself unlimited run energy

You have reading comprehension issues: I criticized AO not CoC. Likewise the shotguns and AO's shitty balance in general.

CoC does have all the shit, it's just packed in .db files in database folder. Unpack those.

I would actually say that it is Bandits or Monolith.

>they're neutral with Bandits.

bruv, that's SoC thing only. Actually, the thing not mentioned anywhere in international version, wikis or whatever that I know of is that Lukash is actually a stand-in leader. See, the actual leader took a squad and left for the Radar not long before SoC story start. After Strelok disabled the Radar, squad and the leader were found alive(mentioned by both Freedom and Duty, leader is never seen in-game) Now think about it:
1. After CS events, Chekhov is eventually killed(Snitch in SoC mentions it)/disappears, so Snitch might not be talking about him, Freedom is pushed off Dark Valley into the Warehouses by Duty, Dark Valley is taken over by Borov and his men.
2. Just so they don't get overrun and buttfucked by fanatics, they have to guard the Barrier.
3. Leader takes a squad and goes to Radar in effort to disable it and drive Monolith back, but disappears.
4. In the ensuing power struggle Lukash goes out on top.
5. Since Duty have them cut off the fresh supply of recruits, Lukash has to make truce with bandits so they don't have to deal with another enemy at their back. Also has to resort to accepting some questionable elements, which leads to Loners resenting them for a bit.
6. Marked One disables the Scorcher, Leader is found alive, comes back and breaks off the truce with the bandits(Freedom and Bandits are hostile in CoP).

tl;dr Duty are shit, Freedom 2012

Damn

oh

my bad

apologies stalker

Oh I've noticed, All I do is run from the opposite ends of cordon and swamp back and forth for no reason, it's annoying as hell. About to deliver the mine detector thing now, so I have at least one more trip back.

Create a CoC folder wherever and extract the files there, that's it

AO is godlike weapon pack, what are you implying?

I'm gonna elaborate a bit, the reason I say the bandit faction is one of the most illogical "factions" in STALKER is because we can safely assume that people who become bandit are "bandits" in the real world or people who couldn't cut it in the zone and wanted an easy way to make money. So the question is why are all the bandits wearing bandit identifiable gear? Doesn't that kinda defeat the point of them? If they wore gear Loners wore they could get up close and have an easier time doing their job. The issue is that the bandits are bandits in the open instead of trying to hide it for everyone else. They could simply use a sound/sign to identify themselves among other bandits.

not with the memeigun it is

I think I'll ditch AO and either play vanilla CoC 1.4 or OWR3 while waiting on STCoP and more bug fixes. Or go back to the 1.4 RC1 with STCoP. Anything but this shitty weapon pack and its shitty balance.

Why does Sidorovich sell a nugget but no nugget food then in AO. Makes my /k/ Loner adventure so much more sad :(

Yeah, that's just logically agreeable by me. I was speaking about ideology and other things, rather than outfit, when I said that about Freedom.
In misery mod, there are loner visuals for bandits and vice-versa. They still shoot you the moment they saw you though.

OK, I found three .ltx files that mention ammo_12x76_dart-m.
Once in trade_generic.ltx at [generic_sell]
And a few times in barman_supl.ltx and barman_trade.ltx. in [barman_after_brain] and [barman_after_brain_sell] respectively.

How do I comment things out in .ltx files?
Since I want to easily reset the changes I make in case shit doesn't work.

Oh I were just talking generally.
