Doing some tweaking on my CoM install. What parameter in items_cooking.ltx should I change to get more charges out of fuels like charcoal etc.?
Needing 1+kg of charcoal to roast some dogmeat is retarded.
The AI seems to have gone deaf and blind as well. Do I change that in m_stalker.ltx or actor.ltx?

You should probably track down the tweak pack that gets advertised here and there and throw that in if you're just getting started; odds are it will handle a lot of the grievances you're going to soon run into as a newbie to CoM, especially your AI vision issues, shits wonky by default.
That said, easiest way to fix the cooking issue for yourself is to go into the coal item data and change the weights and monetary value of charcoal, charcoal2, and charcoal3 to suit your fancy.

I saw one in the repo, triples durability of knives for example. Are there more of them?
Charles Harris
Addendum to my earlier post; cooking food is retarded in CoM anyway, the default prices for imported food like heinz beans and shit are crazy low (oversight?), so cooking is a massive waste of time and money unless you go in and boost the cost of imported, real food by a factor of 3x or more.
And yeah, that's one of them, CoC Tweaks 1.4, though it seems less beefy than I recall. The state of CoM mods is pretty ramshackle right now, scattered to the winds.
Andrew Bennett
I figured that cooking your own food was the most basic thing you needed to do.
CoM brings some needed gear progression to CoC. I did a run using nothing but pistols and a trenchcoat and I finished the game, clearing all labs, in 9 in-game days.
I'll give it an in-game week and if it doesn't pick up I'll try again in a couple of months.
I don't know if this is up to date, I haven't seen axebeard in a couple threads, but this has a shitload of tweaks to pick and choose from.
And yeah, tell me about it, I spent an in-game week not even bothering to try buying food and hunting like a fool because I was so used to Misery 2.1, only to find that you can stuff your character full to bursting for less money than a magazine of 7.62x39.
Juan Ortiz
As a hater of a CoM I have to say - with Axe's tweaks, and most notably, the new cooking device that lets you cook low-trier meat over fire the game starts too look pretty nice. Living off hunted meat with cigarettes/alcohol washing radiation down is viable(just disable health hit from eating cooked mutant meat). It has been one day in the zone and I already got myself larger knife and hunting kit, while having mutant food and cigarettes for a couple days. If you are used to casuality of CoC, don't like too much grind but still want some hobo phase - CoM with Axe's mods is a way to go.
And about that, does anyone using STCoM have issue with game crashing while trying to pick SVT-40 on npc repair screen? Log doesn't say much:
anybody know how to get shaders working for AMK AE. I keep crashing on startup whenever I try to install them.
Carter Perry
x64 xray is happening guys. Finally, no more oom crashes.
Aaron Peterson
Looking at installing some tweaks now, can I add OA + roadside picnic if I already have OA+STCoM+Fieldcraft?
Justin Gonzalez
No idea, I advise using JSGME for this shit, it's really easy to use and can save lots of time as there's no need to uninstall once you fuck something up.
I think axebeard's CoM tweaks fucked up nimble's ai profile in my game. It turned him into a basic stalker with no unique weapons. The kicker is that he is no longer invulnerable and as soon as the map loads he always wanders into the camp across the old farm with the 10 boars to light a fire. I have to sprint over and aggro the mutants or he immediately gets wrecked. any way to fix this without starting over? pic related.
Joseph Flores
Fuck, I'm in lab x18 and I hear some spooky voice saying "What are you doing here". I thought, wow cool ambients and went on with managing my inventory. The I heard heavy footsteps even though I allready killed the pseudogiant. 3spooky5me.
Detailed descriptions of what each file handles and what the parameters change?
Blake Turner
No
Grayson Adams
I'm trying to install shaders with AMK Autumn Edition. It works just fine without the shaders, but whenever I try to install them, the game crashes on startup
Kinda getting mixed signals here. Is there one for the other games where things haven't really changed from moving over to CoC?
The trader files, for example, have been essentially the same since SoC, as far as I remember.
Zachary Stewart
these are the ones that come with the mod. I swapped out the 1.0004 patch fsgame.ltx I made it to the main menu with my saves missing, but then it crashes upon starting a new game
Chase Richardson
You've got a lot more than shaders there buckaroo, you're fucking with the weather and that's not something you can do without manually merging. AKA if you don't know anything about modding and you don't have a compatibility patch, stop trying to use whatever mod you're using.
keeps happening with coc 1.4.22 and a wep pack. never hapened before, just started happening.
any ideas?
are they planning on fixing the sound issues for 1.4.3?
Jordan Gomez
Damn.,. Now that I am replaying SoC again, I realise that it's actually a lot better than CoP. The mission just feel so much more connected.
Or maybe it has just been to long since I bothered with the CoP main missions.
Carter Gonzalez
CoP is the worst game in the series gameplay wise
Kevin Moore
so what should I get for CoC?
AO, ORW or STCoP
Luke Miller
So Clear Sky is still worth my time? I have played it, but I must admit I never got very far in it. Maybe I have been to demotivated by everyone saying it's the worst.
John Bailey
AO is an 8/10, OWR is boring old weapons, STCoC is a 9/10 but it has AI that cannot hit you even if you try your hardest to fix it which really affects the difficulty compared to hard as balls AO especially after some modifications.
Gavin Barnes
Clear Sky is really good, everyone saying it's bad is an idiot. Just slap on SRP and you're good to go.
Joseph Cox
Weapongulash.
I disagree, I think CoP has the best gameplay since it has the most fleshed-out mechanics and such. It has fuck-all content though, that's the big issue with it.
Clear Sky being the worst of the trio is a meme. It's not without its faults for sure, but calling it the worst is unfair. Refer to the advice of this user.
Camden James
Gameplay isnt mechanics fucknuts. Obviously mechanics wise it's the newest one and the base for most mods and CoC itself. But the empty maps and lack of good missions really fuck the game over in the long run, especially if you want to replay it, there's literally no replayability. You can get the absolute best loadout even in Zaton. There's no hobo phase like SoC or CS.
Adrian Collins
I finished the game unmoded. It was alright 9/10
Hunter Brown
what mods should i use for my first clear sky playthrough? any recommendation?
Chase Anderson
>most mods Top fucking lol.
Evan Sanders
Read the thread
Ethan Bailey
Do you really want to argue about SoC having a fuckton of shitty russian mods?
Jordan Bell
Well yes, all that ties in with the 'lack of content' point that I made. And mechanics are one of the many things that affect gameplay, only one though. It falls face-flat if you don't have any content to back it up, and in CoP's case it sure as hell doesn't have any.
Jaxson Richardson
We we're just discussing that, are you retarded?
Lucas Jenkins
We we are?
Parker Green
thanks, srry im drunk
Ethan Barnes
Kill yourself
Jordan Stewart
no, you kill yourself
Justin Sanders
SoC had 3 years headstart but it is easily the most influential of the games. A lot of mod features is stuff they nicked from the old builds or features that are in the files but never implemented.
SoC also has the most well known mods like LA, OGSE, AMK.
you forgot to add nig-speak senpai
Luis Martin
Kill yourself
Blake Kelly
Stop telling people to use Weapongoulash. It does not currently work.
Gavin Rivera
With content you mean story/tasks I guess. Because it does have bigger maps which I personally don't think are empty. The maps also feel more real in my opinion. It has the weapon upgrade system. I think it has better combat AI. Also I really miss the artifact hunting CoP has in SoC. CoP is just great for sandbox gameplay. Just going into the zone, deciding what you should take with you and where you are going.
SoC is better at just being more fun than CoP.
Brody Torres

Be assure this time we will fuck again your mather but this time she will die like a BITCH in the street After all your homo fag father will suck many dicks to bury your BITCH mother.
Justin Nguyen
What you personally think doesn't matter, the maps are empty and devoid of life, everyone barely moves around and just sticks to one place for the whole day. The maps are literal fucking squares with shit put on them, it's a clusterfuck. CS also has the weapon upgrade system. You think it has better AI? With that soldier constantly killing himself with a grenade? That's besides the point anyway, all vanilla AI is pretty fucking dumb. Artifact hunting still in CS, go play it shitter. >CoP better at sandbox than SoC What the fuck are you going to do in CoP? Walk around and enjoy the scenery?
Joshua King
One of the big problems with the maps is that there are no chokepoints or places where you have to pass anymore. The maps have plenty of spawns it's just that you never see them because they are so spread out.
People bitch about killing the bandits by the garbage hangar but at least it means you have to get armed.
Elijah Ward
In what world do people bitch about killing the garbage hangar bandits? That's literally the third mission.
Thomas White
But.. but.. thats what you personally think... (Please I don't want to kill myself)
Connor Lewis
What actually is the complaint? That the map is too populated? To much combat in the beginning? Too difficult? heh? (In my playthrough most of the bandits we're dead before I even saw one, then they gave me money)
Angel Murphy
Gottem
Oliver Evans
What fucking garbage hangar are you even talking about? There's one in SoC and none in CoP unless you're mistaking it for the fucking container place where you rescue that one loner.
Colton Smith
The only Mod recommendation was SRP which is not much besides fixing stuff.
Adam Adams
The one in SoC?
Levi Ross
Ingame log confirmed for next version. Might gotta add a background though since it can be hard to read sometimes.
Chase Fisher
THE GARBAGE HANGAR THE ONE AND ONLY THE HANGAR IN THE GARBAGE WHERE YOU COINCIDENTALLY ALSO KILL BANDITS
Adam Garcia
Yes, thats the one I meant. I think there is a slight miscommunication here.
Parker Moore
REBORN now fuck off summer child
Grayson Garcia
We went from talking about CoP's problems to SoC, you're bringing up some problems that no one ever complains about so I got it confused with both games now. SoC is fucking flawless, that's all I have to say about it.
Kayden Perez
This was back before CS. The bandits attacking the hangar always respawn as soon as you enter the garbage. So whenever you wanted to go to Agroprom or passed by to Cordon they would attack. People got really sick of that.
The complaint is that the CoP maps are dead and empty. Partly, it's about quests. It's also about when you just travel through them. You rarely run into anything that attacks you, especially since stalkers are always neutral to you. Mostly it's just the odd group of dogs or boars. There are plenty of NPCs spawned on the maps but they are spread out all over the place and that means they are rarely where you are or in your way.
Ryan Reed
Who the fuck are these people you speak of? Those aren't people, they're subhuman at most.
Zachary Cooper
Lol I was only the guy who asked what the complaint was. And not the complaint about CoP, but why the hell people are complaining about the hangar.
