So I hear you can get Misery to work with COC.

This interests me greatly. How does it compare balance wise to regular Misery? I've only played a little bit of COC but I found it spawned way too many enemies.

Is it a difficult process to integrate both mods? If not don't bother give me the details I'll figure it out myself, just curious if it's difficult or not.

there is a mod called call of misery that incorporates misery gameplay into CoC, and its much much more fun than CoP misery

Quite similar. Artifacts are more expensive, food is less. You can find considerably more ammo on corpses if enemy didn't shoot his gun before death.

You can edit coefficient of enemy spawns in menu.
>Is it a difficult process to integrate both mods?
Yeah, very. But some drunk slav already did that for a crate of Nemiroff Vodka.

Autumnal Winds or Absolute Nature Redux?

AW

Is there a way to play CoM without the ugly texture pack and shaders? I just want the functionality, but the game looks worse than clear sky.

If you like summer green zone like in the finest Pripyat restort then ANR.
If you like more dark and autumn zone then AW.

Winter

>2 posts below
Just install the goddang AW.

>game looks worse than clear sky
Clear Sky looks great tho

Clear Sky is hands down the best looking game vanilla.

>scope is 4 inches above bore
literally why

But the snowing supposedely looks like shit.

But I don't want to! I want the beautiful crisp visuals of vanilla stalker. Every single graphics mod makes it look worse, like fucking battlefield 2.

What the fuck is CoM

Thanks for pointing that out anons.

I fucking hated the Mosin, only good for long range killing of bandits, useless at close range, does no damage to muties.

Will installing AW give me better frames when using Misery or is that mostly an engine thing? I get good frames as long as there is not a ton of actors around.

Also is there any way to reduce the stuttering caused by A-Life and spawning actors?

That's the point. Modded game looks worse than vanilla.

call of misery. look at coc mega repository

Also runs the worst with those fucked up godrays.

Call of Memery

Shitty old Misery weapon pack. Ain't nuffin gon fix dat, nig.
Allright, then just delete unneeded texture files from the gamedata/textures folder.
Call of Memes.

do you really unironically think that absolute nature and structures alongside swtc makes it look WORSE?

A lot of mods look worse than vanilla CS

>Allright, then just delete unneeded texture files from the gamedata/textures folder.

Thanks! Any way to remove atmosfear, too? Or at the very least, DOF.

Looks pretty to me user.

Because it's vanilla

You're trying to reason with a retard, user. He probably also unironically likes motion blue, depth of field and chromatic aberration.

What is the main cause of hickups in mods? Especially CoC. I have a high end machine, it's only weakness is that it's on HDD.

This goes for CoM in comparison to Misery:
>Quite similar. Artifacts are more expensive, food is less. You can find considerably more ammo on corpses if enemy didn't shoot his gun before death.
Yes, default Mosin is extremely weak in Misery. Pic related.
I would say you will get the roughly the same FPS.
Yes, you can reduce that if you have a powerful CPU. Increase switch_distance up to ~1000 in alife.ltx.

Has nothing to do with mods, it's the a-life switching on. Nothing fixes this besides having a strong enough rig that you can crank your switch_distance to the moon so you load ALL npcs in a zone and only have one initial stutter.

Yes. People with no artistic skill just cram the highest res textures into everything with no regard to how it will all look together.

Atmosfear is integrated into CoC. I don't know anything, try to google it.
To remove DOF, type r2_dof 0 in console or something like that.

This looks okay, but vanilla 16x16 textures are better. Everything that goes higher than 32x32 in Minecraft is not fitting IMO.

>high res textures in a game going for a realistic aesthetic is the same as shoehorning HD textures into autismblox that destroy the aesthetic

wew

Wise words.

Have you ever used absolute nature?

Have you ever had eyes?

No matter how realistic your game is, there still should be a unified style and color palette. You can't just grab anything from cgtextures, squeeze it into a game and call it a day.

>Increase switch_distance up to ~1000 in alife.ltx.
So basically a compromise between spending less time spawning actors and more time processing active actors? Ill try it, thanks for the recommendation, but I don't think my computer will like that very much.

What are you even talking about? Shit like AF+AN don't clash with the game at all and make it look gorgeous.

I don't think you've actually used these mods, and for whatever reason are holding a grudge about something you've never even used.

I have, as a matter of fact.

Are you missing a chromosome?

ok dumbshit, pic related is vanilla CoP, next screenie will be modded

Yes. It's a CPU hungry, like I said, but give it a try.
Control your CPU temperature too while testing it.

Genka, for last time, you cannot warm up food in the middle of the gunfire.

and this is modded

go ahead, be contrarian some more

What mods? STCoP + SWTC + AN4?

10/10 literally perfect
0/10 eye cancer

I do agree that many graphical mods make thing look sharp and weird. I would still probably take the bottom one though.

to be honest both look like shit

AO+AN4+AS+AF3

yeah i can't even tell a difference between the two. modding graphics is dumb.

Damn, I got 0 score.
Thanks.

Enable AA x4 just for the screenshot.

yeah, i regretted not doing that as soon as i posted it

Or have a strong enough CPU plus a SSD and the stutter just disappears.

It's amazing my dude.

Nope. Can get your load times down to

is the HD models replacer compatible with outfit addon? It seems booth of them uses the novice_outfit.ltx

Use the novice_outfit.ltx from OA.

The one from HD model pack is pointless.

Does COM use vanilla graphics or do you have something else installed?

I'd prefer to use something a little bit less intense than the default Misery Textures.

I don't get stutter though, even when running up to the bar or Skadovsk etc

it uses Autumn Addon as a base for its textures
not the exact misery look, but very close
there are compressed misery texture if you have bad rig
you can remove CoM's textures completely and have CoM with default CoC graphics

Is your switch distance cranked to the moon? Because I've seen first hand a screaming fast 850 Pro + 6700k vs the bar in SoC and there was still the loading stutter as you turn all of the NPCs on.

oh thanks

>tfw finally got lucky with unmarked stash and can drop my bear detector which couldn't find shit in terms of artifacts

>Strelok

>that sharpness

Holy fuck lmao. This is ZSNES 'Lookin Good'-tier.

Mercs are scum

now THOSE are some GRAPHICS!!

Exofaggotry + Crosshair goes hand in hand, user.

Looks ok on my monitor.

He's clearly playing Ironmeme, don't bash him.

Looking for a mod for SOC (already done Lurks, AMK, OLR, DMM, Fotograf, Secret Trails 2, LA)
Should I play OGSE or RMA ?

Your monitor is beyond fucked. See, mine is properly color/brightness/gamma calibrated. Right now I'm sitting at 24% brightness, and slanted towards a very dark image.

The fact that yours still looks washed out like I'm staring at the fucking sun means your settings are fucked, and if you can unironically look at that sharpness and think it's okay, you need some fucking glasses.

JP2 is best slav meme mod

RMA is shit play OGSE

Try new Russian plot mods.
they helped me with my crippling depression

No, it's default.
I mean, I guess the stutter is *kinda* there, but it's so miniscule I never even noticed it until I specifically looked for it to record this video.
Much better compared to when I used to play STALKER on my old rig anyway lol.

I should try cranking the a-life distance way up, I'm sure my PC could handle it.

Talking about SoC, not CoC with the massively reduced bar population.

With an extremely high-end rig you'll get around 3x 0.2 second stutters as you load all of the NPCs.

is it 110 fov?

Thanks guys, any "russian plot mods" with viable english translations? How come RMA is so bad? Does OGSE change the story significantly?

Also this. That FoV is fucked, what is wrong with you, user? Some maximum fisheye bullshit going on there.

OGSE somewha

I don't know if any of them have english translation, unfortunately. I doubt it in fact.
Also you can try Cyдьбa Зoны. It's like CoC + JP2.

Fucking autoreply.

OGSE somewhat changes the main story, adds a fuckton of side content, and adds a bunch of cut areas.

Overall, 8/10 very solid mod.

If you can deal with a bad translation, JP2 has hundreds of hours of new content. It's insane.

Just 100. I don't notice the fisheye while playing.

RMA is so bad because it's just vanilla with some shit taken out of it that was probably taken out for a good fucking reason.
I played it, I don't recommend it. It's buggy, the end was unfinishable for me because of broken ladders.
X-18 and not only had 100% permanently invisible bloodsuckers that you were never able to see. Darkscape had the car chase part which is frankly just a pain in the ass with a chopper on your ass with nearly homing rockets if I remember correctly. If your car gets fucked, then you'll have to walk for like 1km to cordon.
Basically OGSE is what RMA could have been with more effort.

>don't notice the fisheye
Not sure how that's possible. You can very clearly see massive warping/stretching in that video all along the periphery of the screen.

I play on 95 and I don't notice fish eye either while playing, but seeing it in small window makes it look like over the top fisheye effect.

Not that guy but I unironically like depth of field and motion blur.

Like what
Said.

It's easier to notice on a small window. When it's my whole screen I'm not really watching the peripheral while I'm running around, I'm watching the center of my screen

If you aren't watching the periphery, what exactly is the point of amping the FoV to ungodly levels?
