Does Alundaio visit this general?

>this fucking game

After making 1,000,000 RU in Call of Chernobyl with AO3, I decided to amass a collection of fully upgraded 7.62x51mm NATO firearms. As it turns out, they all basically have the same performance when fully upgraded.

>100% accuracy
>Insane muzzle velocity
>One/two shot kill on every human enemy in the game
>Crazy recoil
>Pointlessly high ROF

There's literally no reason to upgrade the ROF on 7.62mm NATO firearms, because the recoil is so high that firing more than 2-round bursts freaks your screen the fuck out. The HK 417 seems to be the best one by far, due to being able to mount a grenade launcher.

On a side note about upgrades, I fully upgraded the recoil reduction on the P90 in AO3, and it recoils downwards pretty severely now. Is that normal? If you reduce recoil too much, a weapon starts recoiling down in AO3?

>I fully upgraded the recoil reduction on the P90 in AO3, and it recoils downwards pretty severely now
ppffffffff

That happens even in vanilla.

>Firearm has literally REVERSE RECOIL

See, I never actually upgraded recoil reduction in vanilla because it never bothered me. There's rarely a reason to be firing in anything other than 3-5 round bursts, so reducing the kick doesn't really accomplish much for an experienced player, you know? The "so little recoil that the gun recoils in the opposite direction" thing is new to me, and it's really severe on the P90 because of its crazy ROF.

apparently heavy_pockets only works if you are in the right faction

for owl, even though he is a loner...
he has
buy_supplies = {=actor_community(actor_csky) =heavy_pockets_functor} supplies_heavy_pockets, supplies_generic

which means if you arent Clear sky, you dont get the revised list of shit in heavy_pockets

you can change this.
just change the above to
buy_supplies = {=heavy_pockets_functor} supplies_heavy_pockets, supplies_generic

he now sells all the shit in supplies_heavy_pockets

and after changing all the fractional numbers to 1 or 2 for some
even thou i am a loner with bad rep he is selling all the shit to me
>pic related

turns out the fractional numbers is even in the vanilla trade file for owl.

not entirely sure this is the way heavy pockets is supposed to work, but in my opinion owl should be selling to loners
{=actor_community(actor_stalker)

this is AO btw, should be the same for STCOP

>doody

>duty

Never played the games, and don't really plan to. But I'm just wondering, is the rest of the world as fucked as Chernobyl?

Nope. Chernobyl is the way it is because of dumb magical bullshit involving psychic scientists in pods tearing a hole in the noosphere. The implication is that the Zone is spreading, but we never see that in the games.

There's a couple of (apparently awful) licensed books where there's more Zones, but they're not really canon to the games.

What are some good spots to make your stash in Call of Chernobyl?

Not really but the Zone is expanding, and in one of the books a new Zone ends up being created in Afghanistan.

Why are mutants radioactive if the mutations come from noosphere fuckery?

Because the noosphere made some of them radioactive.

y tho

If your mother has a certain disease when she gives birth to you, there's practically a guarantee that you'll have the disease too. Think of the Zone as an infected womb, with the radiation being the disease.

What's wrong with it????????

ew
even more ew

Deepest lore

Darkest Time, while mostly following standard SoC storyline, does a pretty convenient flip when Barkeep sends you into Dark Valley to get the second keycard from Borov. If you want spoilers, right as you step out of Duty base, game tells you that you've been captured by bandits, and starts loading Dark Valley immediately. Interesting decision, and skips a lot of walking.

I chose duty to see how it is cus I was wondering why the relations between them and loners turned into a war.

And honestly it seems more intense than it should be, we pacted an alliance with military and are neutral with ecologists, that's all though.

Relations between factions are affected positively if a faction is killing other factions that the initial faction hates, and affected negatively if it's killing factions that the other faction is neutral or better with.

In this particular case, loners were probably killing a lot of military squads, which made duty angry because duty is neutral to the military.

>Playing as Clear Sky in CoC with dynamic faction relations
>Somehow end up neutral/friendly with every faction
>Nobody to fight unless I actively seek Monolith
>Taking missions to kill Bandits or Mercs reduces my reputation rapidly

God fucking ass.

this is what you niggers get when you play half baked mods

In addition to what people said, in Roadside Picnic there are more than one zone.

You know that happened to me when I was playing as clear sky and messing around, kinda fucked up relations for clear sky but overall it was fun.

After they killed me (was playing ironman mode) I chose duty just cause I saw that relations between loners and duty are negative.

When I respawned in bar, every, literally every loner started to attack me, I was dying all the time, it took me some time to finally beat all of them.

After that, I went to Wild Territory and saw another pair of Loners.

But...

But they were neutral to me, they didn't fire at me nor anything. I was a bit confused but thought it could be a bug. Moreover, when I cleared wild territory from mercs, suddenly duty and loners declared a war and well, yeah, the pair of loners started to shoot at me.

That was a weird experience desu.

Interesting. Thanks for pinpointing the problem.

I'm wondering if it is intended. I can grasp the logic that a faction might hesitate to sell it's best equipment to non-faction members, but as long as long as they aren't enemies rubles are rubles right?

Certainly they would sell to friendlies if not neutrals.

>Going to X16 to meet controller and get his hand for sakharov
>kill him
>he drops controller brain only
>need to go back to the latest save and kill him again

Ugh.

yeah. i agree. and i think that's how it's already set up.

if you are an enemy to a faction and they show red, say loner for example, if you somehow made it to owl without getting killed. he shouldnt even talk to you, let alone trade with you.

i just thought it was odd that Owl being a loner would only sell that shit to clear sky.
loner/stalker would make much more sense.

>i just thought it was odd that Owl being a loner would only sell that shit to clear sky
Even stranger he wouldn't sell to a loner despite the loner being friendly with the loner faction. (In my case)

I don't know how difficult that would be to implement/mod. Obviously traders can reference your faction relation for discounts but is it possible to have them reference it to unlock their heavy pockets inventory for non-faction friendlies?

Because they live in a radioactive landscape.

>AO + CoM doesn't work
>CoM uses the shitty default AK models
JUST

yeah by changing to
what i posted here
that should make him sell to all factions, neutral or friendly.
but not enemy's, which is that way by default.

What I mean is they wont sell to neutrals. As a non-faction/loner you would have to become friendly before getting access to better equipment.

>thinking it would work in the first place
kill yourself, and i mean it this time

Look's cool

To the anons who posted his hand meshes in the last thread, who merged the SVD anims for me and the one who helped me to learn the basics of .skl and skls editing - Thank you. All my problems are not existent anymore

Would a TAZ merge work?

yeah could just do like the discounts right below it

so say you wanted the player to need to have +200 towards mercs
buy_supplies = {=actor_goodwill_ge(killer:200) =heavy_pockets_functor}

or whatever faction

no problem m8

are you able to do the omf's without it causing crashing? if so, cool shit.

if not, definitely use what this guy said

I honestly don't know what I expected. I already had all the files so it's not like I wasted any time
This might be worth a shot, I'll give it a try

there is already a misery+TAZ for coc

Where?

>no eng trans
>not being slav
I pity those who won't get the original SoC atmosphere and how much are other games of the series different.

Yup, it all works now

cool shit man, glad to hear.

now get crackin :^)

I've already ported skorpion and now I'm doing Kar98

:^)

I fucking wish for a mod, that makes NATO guns rare, with WWII and Soviet weapons as main weapon for like 90% of stalkers, leaving fancy guns to best mercs. That's how it would be IRL, at least: weapons from Cold War stashes and compounds for everyone and rare expensive guns for foreign mercs.

what does reputation in coc do?

I think I might be able to do that as well. It would be that only faction's veteran's would use the top tier oper8or guns and I'm on a really good way on doing that. Just have to port the surplus weapons over

Anyone got some cool stories to share? This one was when I was playing CoC

>In Darkscape when a heavy storm sets in
>Blistering wind and torrential rain coming down
>I'm low on food and starving
>Night comes
>I'm REALLY starving and low on ammo
>I take to the road and stalk some military types
>Wait until they get far enough away from their buddies before I spring my ambush
>take them both by surprise, kill them both, take their food
>Continue onwards down the road
>I need to sneak past a military checkpoint along the bridge so I can escape into the dark valley
>CAN'T SEE SHIT CAPTAIN
>Know they have snipers on the bridge
>I take up position a good distance from my target
>Lighting cracks the sky
>Wait
>Every time lightning strikes the whole area gets lit up
>Can target the guy on the bridge!
>I time my shots and wait for the lightning to illuminate the area
>Line up my shot
>Another crack of thunder and lightning
>Take the shot
>The world goes dark
>The next flash I can see a sniper's body drooping off the bridge

That was by far the coolest moment I've had; Timing my shots and waiting for the lightning to give me a clear shot. I don't think I'll ever play a game that organically let's me do cool things like this. I just had to take a step back and realize how fucking cool the whole scenario was.

Share with me your cool stories, stalkers

What I thought would be: CS use almost only shotguns and Mosin/SVT, rare PMs, TTs, PPSh (weapons allowed to civilian population in Russia, not sure about Ukraine laws as I'm Russian), bandits -- same as CS + AKS-74U, TT, Fort, PM, Bizons etc (civ weapons + police weapons, received through raids, Chechnya-style), loners - same as bandits + more WWII weapons (Cold War compounds have plenty of that, look at Donbass conflict, both sides use Mosins ffs), probably some bakelite AKMs. Military uses AK-74s, SVDs, PKMs, RPDs, PMs only (unification), Duty, as military-friendly faction have same weapons but with more freedom, Freedom uses mostly WWII and Cold War gear, as well as Monolith (they're fanatics, not millionaires).

Forgot anyone? That's only my vision as someone who faced owning a legal weapon in Russia, so any input is appreciated. I'd also rebalance the availability/price of ammo, but I don't know exact prices on Ukrainian market.

You're forgetting all of the equipment that would be leftover from military raids going deep into the zone. I guess that would mostly go into the Monolith arsenal.

STCoP with Smurth's Dynamic HUD.
What did I fuck up?

Hm, sounds plausible, but still it would be rare I think. Should work.

And the expensive stuff from mercs, got it right? I'm still thinking some elite squads of these faction's may have the top tier guns, after all this time spent in the zone

well?

Yeah, some mixing should be possible, but not very large. As I've said before, this amount of nato guns in a country where even buying a pistol is impossible ruins an atmosphere for me. But yeah, why not, elite teams would have expensive weapons.

sounds like you didnt us the compatability patch for stcop included with smurths hud

ak_105_idle_bore exists in wpn_hand_ak74u_hud_animation.omf
which is part of the patch

if you did the patch, do it again. overwriting everything.

You can't go too heavy on the realism to begin with, the Zone would eventually run out of living souls with the PC running around and killing 30 people a day.

Make tiers for each faction, top tiers get better gear, lower tier get lesser gear.

>Make tiers for each faction, top tiers get better gear, lower tier get lesser gear.

That's how it works for now

That Snork giving him some rough head

Good.

>You can't go too heavy on the realism to begin with, the Zone would eventually run out of living souls with the PC running around and killing 30 people a day.

I do realize that, but giving lower tier weapons wouldn't make it this bad (though I wouldn't call AKM low-tier).

AMK Autumn

That's what Autumn Aurora does for SoC.
Not to this degree, of course.
>You can't go too heavy on the realism to begin with, the Zone would eventually run out of living souls with the PC running around and killing 30 people a day.
The Zone should already be more desolate.

>That's what Autumn Aurora does for SoC.
That's SoC, not CoC ((((

Yeah I know ;_;

Am I the only who thinks that artifact handling is unnecessarily complex in Misery even by the mod's standards? I mean, having to deal with shitloads of different containers which most of the time don't even protect you 100% from artifact radiation for negligible effects is just bothersome, I just end up selling the stuff. It would be a pretty cool mod if it wasn't for this.

I wish the inventory system in stalker was more complex. I get one gun in each should stuff but I'd like if we could add holsters to specific suits to add a slot for pistols/knives. Maybe add some management for magazines that are in your backup or ready to be reloaded so pulling out your pistol would be useful in some situations.

Cont?

Where do I find artifacts in CoC? Tried several anomaly areas with detector, no die. My belt is empty :(

You deserve it for being a goody two shoes. I play as a merc, take hitman jobs and give no fucks about other factions.

get a better detector

You're forgetting that there's no law in the Zone and it's flooded with smuggled weapons, and not just military weapons all sorts of guns are used by mercenaries and stalkers with the money for them.

Search more anomalies, there's so many maps and anomalies in CoC that it makes artifacts harder to find.

How do I protect myself from the psi-radiation in Yantar? I bought the helmet that was calibrated, yet the second I entered the lab underneath Yantar, I was immediately killed (and ragequit because I was playing Ironman)

Stuff like this is why I back up my saves.
