ACTUAL PREVIOUS THREAD:

am i the only one left alive?
will i ever make it back?

certain gun upgrades are crashing my CoMemes, but im p sure i have fix 2 and STCOP...

ok, that tells us almost nothing other than you are having crashes with COM

try posting a log


moddb.com/mods/stalker-com/addons/stcom-wp-fix

the log was blank when i checked..

which guns and which upgrades cause a crash?

So am I right to assume dart rounds are supposed to be more accurate slugs+armor piercing? Seeing as they cost almost twice as much.

nvm found it:

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression :
[error]Function : CInifile::r_section

[error]Description : fatal error
[error]Arguments : Can't open section 'up_sect_firsta_fnp45'. Please attach [*.ini_log] file to your bug report

Anyone know the console command to turn on grass shadow?

in WHAT

In-game.

coc, obviously

you're fucking retarded.

well, you seem to be missing some upgrade files.

i have an old copy of sctop for misery
and that upgrade does exist.

go to gamedata\configs\weapons\upgrades\
make sure you have
w_fnp45_up.ltx & w_fnp45_worn_up.ltx

if you don't then you screwed your install somehow.
try copying them over from your STCOP archive you installed from originally.

Thanks, i reinstalled the fix and some other stuff and it works now

Also ive found 3 expert tools , 2 advanced tools within this run... all in rostok and WT.. wtf

play meme mod

I really didn't expect choices in this game. Should I just be a loner and keep away from either faction?

Follow your dreams
If you're a real smooth operator you can become friendly with both of them

skull's boys are renegades, the rest of duty won't care what you do to them

Is it me or are the bullet values in AMK somewhat retarded?

That's not actually true my man

it's you?

amk had it's own ballistics addon beucause they were well thought of

though i will agree that every mod that makes 9x39 OP is just retarded.

bullshit

shhh

Nope, they do care. You have to do a few jobs for Duty for them not to become hostile when you wipe out the skull's squad. Well, at least it was like that in AMK -- I barely remember anything about vanilla.
Yes, it's just you. AMK gunplay is perfect with even 9x18 capable of killing exo's in a couple of shots to the head and one-shotting everything else.

I could just snipe the fucker from outside the base, and then get into Freedom base to offer my condolences, but I'm pretty fucking sure that as any fucking videogame in this goddamn universe, as soon as you do something, even if unseen, your reputation with the faction of your target lowers immediately, because fucking quantum entanglement or whatever.

in vanilla they didnt geive a shit

You never know

IIRC the act of killing them doesn't affect duty relationship, it's completing the job for freedom to kill them that does it.

No, I clearly remember Duty becoming hostile after wiping out Skull's squad. No idea what mod you are using in your webm, maybe it addressed this issue. Alternatively,
.

does Alkiroth's tweak fix the STCOP accuracy issue?

What vegetation did soupsoup use?

EoC2 MS

wtf is soupsoup?

it's....... soupsoup

Just do missions for both, there is no reason to actually 'join' either of them.

Doing a mission for either one of them wouldn't lower my reputation with each faction to the point they'll shoot me on sight?

No, you can be friends with both of them. They sometimes offer missions to kill a stalker in the opposing faction, but you can just ignore those ones.

>Alkiroth
isn't that just for call of misery?

I assume you mean NPC accuracy issue, then i'd have to guess no, it doesnt.

moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/stcop-npc-accuracy-fix

Or cause their death through on traceable means, like getting them killed bu mutants or shooting exploding barrels near them

A whole lotta nothin'

I have discovered recently that just because the gunner of a mounted machine gun is lying wounded on the ground does not mean that the machine gun won't fire at you still.

STALKER 2 when?

Fuck you I'm Millwall

>ss from 2015

are you me? is this "normal"

>2017
>not living in 2015
pleb

>tkgp

Go fuck yourself

go love yourself

no U

no U

You're a big guy

i'm too busy loving you

How's that artifact collection coming along, /sg/?

I need a tetanus shot just from looking at that interface.

Here's a shit game I like for fucking FREE just for you
store.steampowered.com/app/218620/PAYDAY_2/

MAN I FUCKING LOVE STALKER

>for you
And why would I want it?

stalker 2?

It's kind of good when you get a squad going

becuase making skins that aren't dogshit LOL XD RED AND PINK AND ALL MUH RAINBOWS XD

is piss easy

You could actually shill the right games you know.

>Not free
>No money for devs

The "real devs" have never gotten a penny from Stalker sales.

at least you paid for gog copies.

What the fuck

For SoC. I got CS and CoP from the reclaim page with steam keys.

The main SoC devs left the studio before the game was even released.

>merc searching artifacts instead of carrying out hits
if all those were from dropped stalkers then ok

>no money for devs
GSC still owns the rights you know. This isn't a night dive studios situation.

SoC and CS/CoP were also made by almost completely different teams.

I just repeat memes ok? Someone should extensively look this shit up and make a pasta for future generations

to kill neutral stalkers without having their friends get mad just use the mines, if the victim doesnt see you placing it then it doesn't register the explosion coming from the player

it doesn't matter if everyone else is seeing you, to do a mine stealth kill you just need the victim to not see you when you place it and during the countdown

in call of memery you might also want to add an IED or rpg rocket with the mine as the blast sometimes isn't strong enough

Ran out of pepole to hit, so now i mainly collect things.
Artefacts, guns, cigs, etc.

How can you make shotguns worth a damn in SoC? Even in close range an assault rifle is better. It should be fair for them to atleast kill bandits/novices in one close range shot.

it's realistic :^)

obligatory WHEN

Stalking for two years? I don't think it's that unusual.
My oldest pics are from 2011
Don't even say it, I know.

Don't you fucking die on me.

I wonder why that guy front and center is standing pigeon toed. Did he have to pee and has been holding it in ever since he started getting suited up?

Also, who is the best looking one? I'm going with the guy dead center, just to our left of Mr. Pigeon Toes. That's a confident as fuck stance. No one else has a stance as good as that guy.

Yeah, except for that guy they all look a little hunchbacked with slumped arms. Although the 3rd guy from the right has a cool lean.

It's realistic. Or does you retarded ass seriously expect buckshot to down a grown-ass men? Your argument only applies to the case of slugs, but iirc, slugs were already strong in SoC.

Is it overpowered for slugs/darts to kill most humanoid enemies (except exoskeletons) in one hit?

Depends where you hit them really. But in most cases yes.

Are you suggesting that stalking for a few years is a lot? I thought there are guys who have been playing the franchise since SoC's release. FFS don't tell I'm the only one.

Dat Lockheed SR-71. One of the finest concepts in the history of aviation. They don't make 'em like this no more! Nah, for real. It's been 20 years or so.

Iirc, slugs have energy of 4.2kJ. While it won't penetrate military grade armour, it will sure as hell leave a nasty haematoma or cause your ribs to crack.
Tbh, slugs should just leave armoured stalkers wounded after a single hit.

Are you suggesting that stalking for a few years is a lot?

no i was talking about saying screenshots/video from stalker gameplay from years ago.

**SAVING

Well, I don't really save other people's stuff, but I keep all my own snaps, other than the fridgepocalypse set I accidentally deleted.

How do you have fun in coc? I've tried warfare but it's boring

Kids are afirad of monsters under the bed. Monsters under the bed are afraid of Nik Black.

Going to start playing CoP

Do you recommend any mod ?

Absolute Nature
That's all.

Set your own goals.

Its a fun hobby if you ask me, lets you remember fun moments and potentially look back and see what a dumb schmuck you were a few years back.

Taking a lot of pics is fine
Using Steam to take pics is an actual crime

what in the fuck is this guy talking about?
>>>

the masks don't cover the hud icons. last time i played with smurths, they didnt. is he just being a retard or what?

According to whose laws?
i've always had a problem with authority.

Do you unironically think he just hallucinated it?

Do you recommend Misery?
