zone is fucking strange place to be in

what's "last stand" even?

I think a lethal shot will leave you alive at a small amount of hp.

...

On lower difficulty settings (Novice and Stalker), if a player gets hit by a bullet that would've killed him, he is left alive with a little bit of health left and invincibility enabled for a short time. It is explained in actor.ltx, if you can read Slav runes. Was added in CoP, I believe.

>dat Clear Sky ending spoiler

I know it's old, but come on...

How else would you put it

The story in these games is fucking trash anyway
Just cut out his name and put it as CS boss

No one cares about CS.

Kill yourself

DELET THIS

So that thing people talk about where your bullets 'disappear' has nothing to do with difficulty and is entirely related to the shitty vanilla ballistics of weapons, particularly in SoC.

Yeah they can't fucking aim

"Damage to the Final Boss" would have been perfect. It provides you the necessary information without giving away anything. Aside from this, the table is perfect as it is and your work is appreciated.

While the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise is a decade old, there will always be new players. It's totally unnecessary to spoil the story for them, especially in a table that meant to provide info about difficulties.

Weapons have a max range
SoC: pistols and shotguns have shit range but rifles can go forever basically
CS: everything is garbage
CoP: everything has ok range but only SVU and nimble's SVD have great range

Alright, what mods do you use? How much health do you have going in?

It's funny how that is the exact same reason people complain about lethality of certain calibers IRL.

Still spoiling the fact that there's a boss at all smdh you just can't win
Also I accidentally called Stalker Experienced for some reason

If I liked new vegas will I enjoy these games

Yes

Indeterminable, they're really nothing alike

I should start with Shadow of chernobyl right

yes

Yes

Right

can I turnj off the camera wobble holy christ

Christ doesn't exist

Yes.

Just read the OP you dumb baby

...

What was the good Misery version again?

None

CoM

>good Misery

Thought so. Is CoC playable by now, with proper spawns and stuff?

It has been playable since 1.3

It has been playable since the leak

Certainly.

I am Greek

pay denbts

COC 1.5 WHEN?
GUNSLINGER WHEN?
SHOKER 3 WHEN?
OLR3 WHEN?

Not in our lifetimes...

Would you or anyone else happen to know exactly how much damage is affected by the time_to_aim stat? It is mentioned here: metacognix.com/stlkrsoc/WhatYouKnowThatAintSo.html but the exact ammount it is recuced by is left unclear.

...

Too fucking much

Ok y'all, getting back into stalker. What Shadow of Chernobyl mod should I play? Autumn Aurora 2? What's the best for just augmenting the base game to make it fresh

Autism aurora is trash, play OGSE 0692 for the true Stalker experience

>OGSE

dead and shit mod

Fucking kill yourself you fucking scum

What is people's problem with Misery again? All the mods /sg/ suggest are usually buggy unstable garbage, Misery runs like a dream in comparison.

'no'

The world is a smaller place now.

Kill yourself shill

>time_to_aim

always thought time_to_aim was a cooldown on use_aim_bullet, at least in CoP

What attribute in CoP weapon statistics controls the way a weapon will kick when fired? Specifically the actual entries in the weapon config/upgrade config.

His explanation is pretty close but slightly off
Quick rundown:

Guns with use_aim_bullet = true can fire 'super bullets'. Super bullets can only be fired once per time_to_aim (seconds). The cooldown is reset every time you fire. So even if you spray for several seconds you'll only get one super bullet at the beginning.
Bones in damage sections can have an optional fourth parameter. Let's call these 'weak bones'. In vanilla this is just head bones, and about half the mutants don't have any at all.
Super bullet vs normal bone: normal damage
Normal bullet vs weak bone: normal damage
Super bullet vs weak bone: damage uses the special fourth value instead

SoC: All weapons have super bullets
Stalkers take 5x damage (normally 2x since it's a head bone)
Mutants take 10x damage (normally 2x)
CS: All weapons except PKM and Gauss have super bullets
Stalkers have weak head bones, but the 4th value is the same as the normal one (3x)
Mutants still 10x
CoP: Only PB and Knife have super bullets
Stalkers have lower weak multipliers than normal ones! (3x vs 4x)
Mutants still 10x

It's basically retarded.

Exactly Autumn Aurora 2. Hands down the single most polished mod for SoC.

Oh and I forgot. The best thing about it is that it even lets you run in Fang's Exo.

then thats settled breh. thx

>>tfw you'll never stalk with лиззкa

misery is too hard and "unfair" for most of these crybabies

If it's the same as in CoC then it's this shit

cam_dispersion = 1.0
cam_dispersion_frac = 1.0
cam_dispersion_inc = 0.5
cam_max_angle = 50.0
cam_max_angle_horz = 5.0
cam_relax_speed = 11
cam_relax_speed_ai = 120.75
cam_return = 0
cam_step_angle_horz = 0.35

I personally only messed with cam_dispersion and reducing it does seem to reduce recoil. cam_max_angle and cam_relax_speed are pretty self explanatory though I think.
No idea what cam_return and cam_step_angle_horz is.

Thanks man, and yeah, having the first bullet do more extra damage if it headshots just seems dumb, especially if that extra damage is needed to kill in one hit.

HA you're probably serious too.

/sg/'s favourite mods are vanilla+, anything that changes the game too much gets them bootyblasted

Then what is the most polished mod for SoC in your opinion?

My experience of AA2 is endless crashes. I had to disable all the stuff that makes it look good to make it work which kind of defeats the object.

Other than the stupid psi damage that kills you in seconds it feels pretty fair to me, pretty much as advertised, so I don't know what they find that there is to get annoyed about.

not AA2 thats for fucking sure

>Dolg radiation suit can be upgraded for artifact slots in Outfit Addon
>doesn't even have the life support system the light and heavy Duty outfits have
What a fucking joke.

whats wrong with aa2
i played amk autumn and it was fine except the last portion of soc which is always a crapshoot

Man turning it off but the game still gives me a headache
God dammit

Increase the FoV

Just installed AA2 as per recommendation and gt this crash on startup

R e a d t h e O P

What game? Disabling headbob would probably be the easiest in ZRP or SRP. If you're playing either SoC or CS respectively.

any ideas?

THIS

amk autumn > AA2

AMK > whatever meme version of it (ZoA aside, shame about the bugs).

zoa is trash

I did. xray file doesnt have anything in it to copy. So im fucking up/missing something, know what it is?

you are installing AA2
that's your first mistake

pay attention and read the installers bullshit.

dont use ENB

Didnt the guy who made ZoA post here for a while?

>for a while
Pretty sure he has been around for a couple of years. Who knows, maybe he's occasionally browsing it even now.

Ok thanks, ill try it without ENB

yep
nothing against him, just when you make a mod that breaks the game, it's kind of pointless.

Step 1 of any mod is can you complete the game with the mod installed?
yes. ok then you have a shot at it not being a complete shitheap of a mod.

I've beaten ZoA
Worked on my PC :)

FF basically said he was done with video games

I've been able to get to Radar in one of the earlier versions with barely any crashes, but all my subsequent playthroughs on the latest version would end at Agroprom.

...

Tried it without ENB and just static lighting. still crashed
