Previous thread:

Question: Is Duty or Freedom better? I always seem to meet people who prefer Freedom, when I'm a Duty/Clear Sky kind of guy myself.

They both primarily consist of latent homosexuals. Loners and Clear Sky are best.

Is there a mod for SOC that adds alot of guns that dont have fucked up iron sites?
I played COC a bit but it either crashes on me or I get swarmed by mutants, while fun...I dont know what to do in COC...Going to try AMK 1.4.1 AE for shits and giggles.

Freedom has best guns
Duty has Rostok

Take your pick

You can turn up and down spawns in CoC settings, personally I set stalker spawns to 1.0 and mutants to .5

I suggest downloading warfare for CoC if you want a more solid objective

>warfare
>solid objective
what did you mean by this?

>Freedom
>Best guns

Pick one.

can someone pinpoint the exact moment where it all went downhill?

amk ae is mutant bullet sponge madness!!!

Need a little help, I'm running 3dsmax 2010 with the plugins for xray 0.7 (have the CoP sdk) and I'm running into a "xray_path.ltx could not be found" error, followed by "dll failed to initialize" error. The readme translated out to gibberish so I'm lost

get user's tweaks from the repo
i doubt anyone here can help you, try asking in a real forum or something

I've finally righted one of my wrongs by turning off the crosshair.
Is just before Lab X-18 a bad time, challenge curve wise, to turn the difficulty up from Stalker? Veteran, or Master?

...

I've posted on the forums, I was pointed here by reddit

it was bad not starting it on master in the first place

>I was pointed here by reddit
why did you post in /r/stalker in the first place? it's 90% children, like literal 10 year-olds

anyway, try facepunch or ap-pro

>ap-pro
30% children, 25% devs with alundaio-tier ego

true but you can still get some answers

and don't bully alun-kun

k sweetheart

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them out

>not best in late-game stalker

it's like you don't wanna get on sidorovich's level

yeah, no

About the time you posted

Hello my cute pussy bois. Daddy is back and wants to know what you have been playing today.

CoP with cheatsssssss

I found my bad little girl. So we're is my innocent slut?

hawt.

Any crash fixes it says its out of memory.
Im still stuck on modding AMK for SOC and MISERY for COP

I have saved yuri A few times with hit and run or shock and awe but he mostly dies any other play through.
He is the welcome to the zone meme.

downloadmoreram.com/download.html

I looked in the amk ae 1.4.1 and found the patch. don't see anything about changing monster bullet sponge madness but it looks like a good patch anyway. thanks.

yeah the patch is good too but i meant the tweaks folder
inside it is another folder called "realistic damage-mutants"

Mutants do some good fucking damage anyway so I dont know why you would want it....I always justrun and gun.

5.56 is objectively the best late game ammo, high enough damage to kill everything fast and more common that the Groza's and Val's special snowflake shit.

I was just having problems with that, I ended up reinstalling all my mods and it's worked perfectly since

So amk ae looks like ass with static lighting. It's 9am and it looks like it 8pm.

Are pistols in OWR just not supposed to have recoil?

>[ peers internally ]

...

Duty

Edgy, take a puff off this for a minute my man.

Very few of them do. I was surprised the deagle didn't have any recoil.

I prefer Duty for a few reasons, most of them personal:

They're in a good location that I'm probably going to visit a lot anyway, at least in SoC.

Their goals, while stricter than Freedom, are coming from a good place: they want to protect the world from mutants, and they seem to actually follow what they say. You can't fault their ideas, only when they get too heavy handed with regulations, how stupid the rivalry with Freedom can get, and how they might be in bed with the military. Freedom only has a vague 'do whatever and hold back back shit' vibe, and I don't think it's good to be hippies about something as lethal as the Zone, especially when they know firsthand how shitty it can get.

In SoC at least, they're on fairly friendly terms with the Ecologists, even if they don't have the same goals. This is an interesting relationship, since I like the Ecologists a lot but don't think it'd be worth trying to join up with them as eggheads.

Their colorscheme is awesome (check out this cool uniform that I got when I joined up), and factions that are vaguely rude to me but still overall nice are somehow attractive to me.

...

If only global illumination worked properly, we'd reach comfy levels that shouldn't be possible

Well said, tovarisch.

How the hell do you get started in CoC? I can't fucking do any of these quests with just the shitty pistol you start off with.

Shoot a man and take his raifu, big goy

Or wait for someone to get shot

...

Stashes also help as they are random. Love to start as freedom and find a big ol' m60 with 100 rounds. Then I go show my dealer while we smoke a bowl before heading to rostok for recruiting. Not a good town to recruit in desu senpai.

What is the gps beacon for in amk ae? I read the description but still don't understand except that it has something to do with the pda. Is it for stash location with the rucksack?

You can put one inside of a container, or maybe even just drop one on the ground, and it will place an icon on the map in your PDA

Gasp! Who was it?!?

It wasn't me!

he will be missed...

Watson! Another victim of the zone!

Send my regurts

I stayed up all day and now my eyes are all bloodshot, but I transfered most of the values of Argus' PRZ textures.ltx to custom made thm files.

I even caught some typos in a couple of textures.

I'll have to make a second pass over the ltx to make sure every value is accounted for.

did you install any skip intro addons?
did u follow the instructions?
use the user.ltx provided or delete them and create a new one?
KB2670838 isn't installed?

I posted this on the Bugs thread of epic stalker forums. so they will probably see it.

>If only global illumination worked properly

it's shit tho

I posted this on the Bugs thread of epic stalker forums. so they will probably see it.

I wish CoC had those hood down sunrise models.

Fine, i won't release the goddamn mod.

Gardevoir guy, are you here? It's important

How many of you only play CoC in Ironman?

patch notes for 14.2?

Are there any games out there other that really scratch the STALKER itch other than the series itself?
Tarkov looks promising but $140 is a shitty value proposition.
I've burnt myself out on all the 3d Fallouts and Far Cry 2.
Survarium was shit.

cool, post that shit on moddb nigga

metro 2033, metro last light are bretty damn gud.
however alot more linear in terms of storyline, gameplay. but still a good play

Yeah, love 2033. Forgot to list it. Didn't really like LL but I can understand why others do. I suppose what I'm really looking for is a game about making risky expeditions to gather equipment and resources with tight fps gameplay and semi-urban environments.

I like muh M16.

Anyways. FT2000 is a NATO gun.

I like muh Sniper rifles but Duty has the best guns overall and they have lot of stalkers with exos.

>global illumination
Doesn't it kills framerates as much as "God Rays"?

coc.epicstalker.com/patches/Patch_Notes.txt

Someone was talking about HD npc models mod,where can i get it ?

moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl-hd-models-addon/downloads/wip-hd-models-build-2

...

ray of hope release when

Anime waifus mod when?

>cancer mod

no. thanks.

Kill yourself

Didn't you hear their commiting ritualistic suicide?

$5 when RoH drops its gonna be filled with retards

I have yet to try it, but I've heard Boiling Point: Road to Hell and it's sequel Xenus 2: White Gold are in a similar vein to STALKER. There's a sci-fi game made with the same engine as well called The Precursors

>Tarkov looks promising but $140 is a shitty value proposition.
It's only 35 euro unless you want to get all that extra shit they put in the nicer editions.
It's an ok asking price for an indie developped MP game, and it does seem like they're putting much more effort into it than a lot of these cash-in MP game indie studios

>I suppose what I'm really looking for is a game about making risky expeditions to gather equipment and resources with tight fps gameplay and semi-urban environments.
Again, I haven't tried it myself yet but maybe you could check out Dying Light. It's zombie themed and more melee focused but I hear that it's pretty good, and I know the city section in Dead Island was my favorite part and that seems to be what it'll essentially be


I'm not sure there's really much else, it's appallingly disappointing how few games there are that have a similar style to STALKER, even with it being as simple as a single player open world FPS with an inventory and friendly npcs. I guess there are a couple games like that, but most lack that harsh and oppressive feeling there is, like comparing Far Cry 2 to 3 & 4

downloaded CoC again, patched it to the latest version and installed weaponsoup. it crashes when I click new game.

Call of Misery is for 1.4.16.

oh yeah
