Can we call them Call and Shadows instead of CoC and CoP? I really have a hard time remembering it's Chernobyl and not Tchernobyl.

Nth for the glory of the Monolith!

I don't like the look of the AK-74. It looks like it's made out of metal and green plastic. Where's my wood?

Also, am I really dumb or is there no option to clean and repair your gun yourself?

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

>Also, am I really dumb or is there no option to clean and repair your gun yourself?
Vanilla SoC? No. And theres' no option to have others do it either.
user please.

CoP, actually. I should've said so, my apologies.

I take it people still play SoC. Which surprises me, I thought it was the first one?

Fucking newfag

Why would people play the first, unpolished game when the superior master race sequels are already out?

It's like trying to start a barbecue with wet cardboard when you have coal.

Kill yourself

I'm having trouble getting my CoC to perform well, I've tried turning sun rays off, changing the DX settings from 11 through 8 but I still get stuttering and low frames. No idea what's causing it...

Is there a compatible mod for this sort of problem?

I stuck a nerve, I see.

NICE GRAMMAR RETARD

>I take it people still play SoC. Which surprises me, I thought it was the first one?
Of course. Reexperiencing the story, trying mods and shit. It's fun. It's also nice to see how stuff's changed.
>Why would people play the first, unpolished game when the superior master race sequels are already out?
>superior sequelS
Only 1, maybe.

MODDERS NEED TO STOP ADDING UNKILLEABLE ONE SHOOT APCS HOLY FUCK

Clear Sky only comes close to being as good as SoCk

Is Clear Sky bad? Or do you mean Call of Prypiat?

Call of Prypiat is garbage

Clear Sky is the worst game in the series. Whether it's actually bad, though, sparks some debate here and there.

>He can't even spell Pripyat

Nice opinion.

I don't live in a fifth world country like you

VORONIN FOR D(uty)-CONSCIOUSNESS

does the TRs have better first shot accuracy in CS than the IL?

If so, which fucking moron thought of that?

>Not real life names
Discarded

does the american kalash have better first shot accuracy than the belgian/french kalash in CS?

if so, which fucking moron thought of that?

It's british

All I know is that I've never seen it be a particularly accurate gun, and it doesn't even have a burst fire mode like what's claimed in its description.

I had to chose between the other rifles, but I basically gave up the IL 86 right away. I can't even take off the scope, which is frustrating when I need to keep an eye on my health or fight enemies that are fairly close.

so is the german kalash (g36c for you fucking autist shit) the best gray ammo weapon in the game?

?

guess you meant green, and no it's the best in SoC
in CS it's the fn2000
and in CoP it's the strelok sig

Your opinions are garbage

Do any of you Stalkers know if npcs will loot the stash in the bar in NS/OP2?

I'd like to help you, but I don't even know what NS/OP2 is.

Can't you check it in the files?

probably.
Weren't those giant kitchen soup mods originally built on top of AMK?

what is your online exclusion radius setting set to?
loading the ai every time you get near them causes stutter

>Why would people play the first, unpolished game when the superior master race sequels are already out?
because cs is less stable than tes games on release
because cop has lifeless maps and makes things way too easy overall (economy, less npc, those that you find are neutral, allowing rifles as secondary)

cs can be saved with srp or tfw but cop has literally nothing to do outside of quests

they are but there's several dozens of layers of slav magic on top of them, was just wondering if someone had any prior experiences, ill keep saving everytime i use it i guess

>game crashes when loading save file
>only other is a quick save 30min older
>also crashes

Fuuuck me

Learn to make multiple named saves.
I know your pain, but I learned from the mistake.

>>Don't have Call of Pripyat but want to play Call of Chernobyl?
Where do I put this?

it doesn't matter where you put it, it's a .reg file.
you just double click on it and it does it's magic

I have it at 50 though I've had it at the default 25 with the same problem. It's also strange, I remember having no performance issues until I was halfway through The Radio after a good 6 hours of game time.

BUILD A WALL

>Duty most likely represents Trump
>but it's Freedom who mans the Barrier

There's no good way to present political memes in Stalker, especially since it's more Eastern European anyway

It's not like the barrier protects anything other than Freedom's base. Duty has the north bar border secured with a fucking death alley.

the freedom barrier is Mexico's southern border wall

Duty's death alley at bar is Trump's wall with Mexico and the real civilisation

exactly

>real civilisation
>military LARPers who want to destroy something they don't understand
>not the liberty-focused volunteer militia holding off the invading Monolith forces so the Zone can be studied in peace

Next you're going to tell me bandits are just misunderstood ancaps being bullied by the existing power structures

Why is my stack trace: empty?

fuck off libtard, you have no power anymore

they dindu nuffin

Borov wuz a gud boi

>volunteer
If they weren't sitting on the barrier they would be dead.

I can't really say Rostok is real civilization, since it's basically a ruined factory with a bunch of squatters in it and a bar. Then again, Burgerland isn't much of a real civilization anyway.

But at the same time, Freedom doesn't do that much research. It's actually Duty that works the most with Ecologists, even if it's more in a 'know your enemy' sense.

so yeah, what the shit coc 1.4.12/1.4.14 seems to be doing that thing again where artifacts never spawn outside the zone you're in when an emission happens
didn't they fix that?

>does little to no research
>protecting something that could potentially destroy life as we know it (zone expanding all over the world)
>weed xD

Why is bandit radio from CS so good? I can't stop listening to it.

I prefer the atmosphere of SOC over the other games.

I don't even play it with mods, just a custom ZRP and graphic enhancements (not even new models, I rather have all shit models than model discrepancy).

How is the atmosphere different?

He's bullshitting you.
SoC's only advantage over CoP are the mods. Otherwise, it's shitty.

Why is it so comfy

Are you a rabbit, stalker?

Did the steam version of SoC update past 1.0006?
AA2 keeps crashing on startup even without ENB and I'm wondering if I need to downgrade.

Does anyone here know how to edit config files to remove certain parts of the hud?

Someone, knows, probably. But is there such a person here right now?

yeah doesn't soc say that freedom routinely fucks over research groups

Yo why can't I quickswap buckshot to darts?

Is CoC supposed to be so dull/easy? I'm having trouble finding stalkers. It's only ever zombies. Maybe one or two groups of bandits. Even wearing the leather jacket and an ak74 I took down a monolith gauss sniper and rocketeer pair who appeared at Zaton.

Using STCSWP, any mods to make the AI sharper or to bring back faction wars?

Play in Master.

I already do, master's the way stalker is meant to be played.

How do Stalker compares to Metro? They're pretty similar, right?

Consider that bump my farewell gift. See ya, stalkers.

>bloodsucker in wild territory
>try to be sneaky but he sees me
>oneshot it with a Combat Chaser dart to the head
Shit this thing is STRONG.
Metro is way, way more linear. Metro's monsters are cooler. Stalker's generally more lethal. There's more but I'm sleepy

If I patch Autumn Aurora with 1.0008 will it fuck everything up? They are compatible but I imagine I should have installed the patch before the mod, correct?

>bring back faction wars?
warfare is supposed to do that, but the dev fell for the "lets rewrite all from scratch" trap so who knows when it will be complete

So I'm using mod merge 2015 for CoP and everything is fine until an emission hits and even tough I take cover I get killed.
Currently dying inside the basement in yanov station.
Anyone has any idea of what could be causing this?

help, CoCk 1.4.14 with AO3

happens when i start a new game by the way, old saves work

...

you fucked up your install or your shit AV removed a file

go to the AO archive you used to install and see if you have
\meshes\dynamics\devices\dev_bolt\dev_hand_bolt_hud_animation.omf

if it's there, copy it back to your gamedata

if you are using other addons, this might also be why

if you have your weapon out try putting it away

Glorious Red Army run begins NOW

Wish me luck, stalkers
