What mods are the best for CoCk? Can I use all the weapon mods together? There just skins right?

top bait

gotta go fast

o-oh. then it's intentional, huh

ayy

Does an open-world game exist with AI as dynamic as modded (or even unmodded) Stalker? NPCs essentially lived their own lives which were almost as interesting as the player's. I even remember finding corpses of veteran stalkers who had died exploring alone, and finding 'trophies' of their kills, such as dog tags and guns in their inventories

Honestly, just about every open-world game feels inadequate to me after that. Oblivion is the closest thing I can think of; the NPCs ate and slept but it felt scripted compared to the randomness of Stalker

Admittedly it's been a while since I played it, so I can't remember which AI behaviours were native and which were modded. I think AMK improved it a lot

lol I'm a different user but I sincerely dropped by for the first time to ask this.

You can tell me to fuck off, but these are the only questions that I couldn't figure out with google
A) If I start as Loner can I join a faction aftwards
B) Is Warfare a cluster fuck of a mod?

Guys, playing CoC here (with DoctorX questlines). At Yantar there is a quest to defend the scientist base against zombies. Does it ever end? I've cleared 5 or 6 waves already and they keep spawning.

It will end, at some point.
Good luck stalker.

Would a leaf survive in the zone?

thanks. kinda low on supplies after agroprom underground. what a gauntlet of bullshit.

GAUNTLET HADES

No, thanks to this faggot (not sure) I cant use comfy ingame chat.

i like trains

>Honestly, just about every open-world game feels inadequate to me after that
same here. If another STALKER Never comes out it would be amazing to see an improved Alife system. Characters selling their gear to traders and buying better stuff, trading between npc's etc. It would be nice if there was a way to see their stats justlike the stat section in your pda.
Oblivion radiant AI just made me sad in the end after seeing how much they toned it down before release.

>falseflagging leaf
can anybody say they're surprised?

...

how you make those dream like graphics

its misery 2 with absolute nature & structures and graphics turned up

moddb.com/mods/stalker-misery/forum/thread/misery-21-stiivais-new-performance-texture-pack-and-radio-songs-addon/

Anyone still got the files for the radio pack?

>tfw no slightly strange bratelnik

still exists for CoC?

Havent seen it in the addons section, just a bunch of diffrent ones, this one had some good Russian shit iirc.

do i have to worry about things like mod conflicts? i got the starter pack and am wanting the Absolute Nature mod that doesn't seem to be included with the most recent version of the starter pack, unlike it used to be from as far as i can research.

pls help me, i am very stupid

SoC AN is garbage

i just want further vanilla 2.0 content

Kill yourself

Kill yourself

It's literally worse than vanilla
And if you say "vanilla 2.0" one more time I'll smack you right in the gob IRL

*throws bolts at you*

moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/radios-galore-for-coc
thought about this

Question about CoC. I have a fast travel mod installed, but sometimes it funtctions, sometimes no. Anyone knows why? inb4 gitgud scrub. Trekking back and forth only is fun the first duhuya times.

Trekking back and forth is part of the experience, shitter.
You're missing out on all the kooky shit that can happen inbetween wherever the fuck you are and wherever the fuck you wanna go

Anyone have a list of mods you should add to CoC? It seems like there's a lot of options for fine tuning the game, but I don't exactly know what to go with.

im using

AO3+the sound addon
Photorealistic zone
smurth dynamic hud
sr coc
DRX mutants and DRX questlines

btw does anyone know what other mods besides photorealistic zone are used in pic related? my game never looks that good

I've had that experience since game launched in 2007, friend.

>shitty reshade
>good
My slav friend, that is shit. Reshades look "good" only on screenshots. And this one doesn't even look good.

High res textures:
>Structures Redux
>Absolute Nature Redux + SWTC or Autumnal Winds.

which damage mod should i use for coc?

AO3 increased weapon dmg
smarch config for AO
or
W.A.R.F.I.G.H.T.E.R. Realism Addon

no need to mod difficulty, right? master is realistic enough?

AO3 Smarch config + W.A.R.F.I.G.H.T.E.R. Realism Addon (Smarch recommends to install warfigter). 1-2 shot kills\deaths everywhere :D

>realistic
Back to /armag/ you go

What are the must have add-ons for a Misery 2.1.1 playthrough?

Should I play the games vanilla before playing coc? I really want an open world experience and don't have a lot of time. I tried soc but even on rookie I can't hit anything even when I'm shooting at them. What is the best vanilla 2.0 experience?

definitely play vanilla

and rookie is stupid you need to play on master difficulty

5.45, 5.56, 7.62 (either) or 9x39?

Uninstall v1.0

Play vanilla with some bugfixes and weapon tweaks on master difficulty.

So /sg/ what is your favorite faction to fight against?

mine are the mercs when you are killing freedumbs and monos is becomes routine when playing as Duty so when you kill a merc you feel like you killed a high ranking member of the zone's bourgeoise and you just a few days away from giving the zone to those who trully deserve it the loners

If you are playing with damage mods like warfighter then the 5.45 and 5.56 will do the work

Little Dutyer punks with hero complexes.

Monolith, mostly because they drop fat stashes of sick loot.
When I'm playing tediu- I mean CoM, it's even more apparent.
Lots of ammo, rare items, consumables, and firearms that can be brought home or repaired.
For an isolated faction full of religious zombie fanatics, they sure do have great equipment, which I still don't understand as far as the lore is concerned.

The monolith has people outside of the zone buying weaponry for them

think of them like Strelok in SoC he was brainwashed just the right amount to follow C-con orders and to act like a normal person

Yeah sure, I know about that, but to such a high degree?
Where do they get all their funds from, all brainwashed stalkers spending all their measly money outside of the zone and shipping shit in?
From the C-Conciousness?
How can they supply funds if they're pretty much dead as far as the outside world is concerned?

Besides, Marked One didn't seem brainwashed at all, since he woke up from the death truck, he acted completely autonomously, the only order he followed was out of sheer necessity to find out his real identity, he himself chose to pursue Strelok, i.e. himself.

c-conciousness was govt funded to do crazy research

marked one snapped out of it when the death truck goes all sploded but he lost his dang memories and shit from all the brainwash

CoC is freeplay roam. Like Dayz. No plot, just pick what you wanna do and explore the Zone.

I'm a newfag, currently playing trough SoC vanilla using STARTER PACK 2017 (bug fixes and graphical stuff).
I've tried CoC a few weeks ago, liked the atmoshpere and started SoC -> CS -> CoP playtrough.
SoC is still open world, but has tight questline and things to do on the side.
Today i was collecting artefacts in Agropom \ Garbage \ Cordon for a few hours.

Play on master difficulty, less bullet sponginess. Lower difficulties have lower damage and this goes both ways, bullet sponges everywhere on rookie.
Muddle trough with pistol and shotgun to AK rifles. AK has decent damage and gameplay starts to pick up pace.

metacognix.com/stlkrsoc/WhatYouKnowThatAintSo.html

You should also remember that the monolith stalkers were once the best armed loners who went to the center of zone and that they converted pretty much the entire clear sky faction by the ending of CS they are the best armed faction

Seems to me though that their funding got cut off after a certain point, not sure if it was the collapse of the USSR or the creation of the zone, but it seems to me that they've been an autonomous and isolated entity for a while, and it seems highly unlikely that they had their govt funds at hand base instead of in a government account based in the mainland, like they managed their funds through distant banking and only got supplies shipped to their base to do research.
They don't seem like a group that would need lots of guns or other wargear shipped to their base as they mostly had the radiation and probably some hired guards protecting them, and the monolith didn't exist before the Zone proper emerged.

Well, that was a load of story-related autism.
Kinda stupid to discuss a plothole in a 10 year old game where the gameplay and atmosphere was the focus for the most part.

You're roughly 10,000% wrong
