[TRIGGERED]

You can't deny the charm of the vanilla textures and models

oh yeah

Man fuck Clear Sky, i killed the machine gunner at the final stage of the Limansk Hospital and now Clear Sky won't blow open the pillbox so i can get through to the Catacombs, and all my saves, are after i kill the sniper, fuck this game seriously.

you tard, there is a hole in the wall to transition to the next area.

Where? In the pillbox? There isn't, i killed the gunner before Clear Sky arrived and they never blew it up, at least thats why i read online, Clear Sky squads are supposed to blast a hole with an rpg

are you using SRP?

right after you push through then the other CS guys follow you into the next area
they blow up a wall or somethign to get to the hole. right around the 25 min mark you can hear an explosion and then the cs guys cover you so you can go through the hole

>they blow up a wall or somethign to get to the hole. right around the 25 min mark you can hear an explosion and then the cs guys cover you so you can go through the hole

Im talking about the end mate, in this video he doesn't even enter the catacombs, at the end when they tell him that they will cover him while he enters the catacombs, thats what im talking about. I can't go into the catacombs as the cs squad didn't blow up the machine gunner.

My playthrough doesn't have a hole there

they definitely should blow up the two entrances to that room then take out the pillbox.

are you using SRP?, cuz you should be.

not much you can do besides roll back to a save you can use.

>love SoC and CoP
>kinda want to play CS
>don't think it's worth it so forget about it
>new bundlestars bundle has it for €1
Neat, time to get my stalkin on again. Was getting a little tired of CoC.

>are you using SRP?, cuz you should be.

I am

>not much you can do besides roll back to a save you can use.

Yeah, i hoped there would be something else but, have to replay the whole damn map now.

Is this autist responsible for the death of STALKER?

STALKER 2 WHEN SIRGAY?????

ded

Let it die. Make a new thread when Gunslinger is out.

so never

obligatory

Fuck the godawful grass fade-in with vanilla environmental textures, but I agree on the weapons. I don't like any of the weapon mods nearly as much as the vanilla weapons.

>>don't think it's worth it so forget about it

CS is 1000x better than CoP, you should play it, just remember to use SRP otherwise you are gonna die from the tiniest cut or fall, or touching water with your pinky toe.

I want GUNS for my new SoC playthrough. Gimme mod recommendations, please.

CoM fag here. What happens when I change my faction in the middle of the story mode? Right now, it tells me I should go meet Sultan cause I am a Bandit. Now, it still would give me the same task when I change, but what when I finish the task? (would have to get the documents from X-16 in Yantar) Would I get a new main person I am supposed to take my jobs from? I dont wanna "break my game" in any case that could mess me up

Is there a way to unfuck the performance in Lost Alpha?

DX10/11 is broken as all hell. With half the effects either not working or straight up murdering fps. This is especially evident in areas they didn't feel like separating with loading screens. The agroprom location is utterly fucked because of that. Someone thought it was a good idea to run 4 separate floors of useless empty space at once. Swamps and Yantar suffer from the same issue. Meaning that stable 130fps crash down to 23-50 in the fore mentioned areas.

Another great "feature" is the console that keeps printing errors about too many lightpoints or something in that. Even with lightning, particle and vision distance at minimum. Looking towards a cluster of lights gives 1/3`rd of the fps it otherwise gives.

DX9 and DX10 both have some sort of weird plastic gloss. With bugged shadows to boot. Even with the tinkering of r2_tonemap_lowlum , r2_toneamp_middlegray i cant fix the gray/brown plastic shitsmear.
Also the difference between dx9 and the rest, performance wise is negligible. As the matter of fact is seemingly runs worse in dx9 than dx11.

I did a playtrough during the fanpatch era (pre v1.3003) and it was nowhere near this level of shit. Now post DC and with better hardware on my end its down to almost unplayable.

change r2_gloss_factor? I use 0.7

and of course it runs worse on dx9 when like you just said, some of the effects don't work in dx10/11, use your brain

I installed SWTC and now my CoC(k) has LURK levels of bloom outside
And TES 4 Oblivion bloom inside
Is that supposed to happen?

no, check r2_ls_bloom threshold (1 means no bloom)

That was a step in the right direction.

Is the anything that can be done with the missing / not functioning effects?

no

Does jack shit, but r2_ls_bloom_fast ON fixed it
Pic related with bloom_threshold 1.0 and gloss_factor 4 (default CoCk)

>ls_bloom_fast ON
but that adds way more bloom
also that gloss factor is really high

Behold, Krolik doesn't look like a burn victim with a vaseline fetish
gloss goes all the way up to 10 in CoC

>gloss goes all the way up to 10 in CoC
I know, and 4 is really high

I don't always understand computers, but my right eye is 20/20

how does your sky look with bloom_fast on

and are you sure you don't have them backwards? because this isn't making any sense

I'm sure I don't have them backwards, but SWTC might have them backwards
Getting crashes from fucking with renderer settings too much (at least I hope so)

KURWA MAC, I have the labels backwards in that picture
top is ON

Also FRAPS won't capture my CoCk now
And OBS can't record it either
Stay away from SWTC

The problem is on your end buddy. Somehow your have massive amounts of bloom when none should exist, and turning on more bloom decreases it. That's simply not what's supposed to happen.

Also run OBS in admin mode.

Hold up, which version of SWTC did you install?

moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/swtc-coc-advanced

this one since I'm still on 1.4.22 and 1.5 has adifferent file structure

There's your problem, you installed the shit one. Mega has the old version still. Grab Enhanced Sun Effects while you're at it.

oy wey such is life in vasyan modding community

you fucking shitting me misha?
that's it cunt

>trusting a merc
they're literally 1 step above gopniks but without the memes or trenchcoats

Also, you really should go to 1.5, it's so much better. Unless you are very desperate for weapon mods.

OWR still works, right?

As long as you patch the icons yourself.

Things I also like having:
DrX Dynamic Anomalies
DrX Questlines

End your life

You forgot dick

Brave of you to admit to being gay

ten years for a game that is just modded and remodded over and over without official support is a lot

good nite sweet sg

>no official support
>what are the sdks
>what are the gorillion beta builds

You goyims still asshurt his faction relations addon doesnt align with your headcanon?

Kill yourself retard

Some suggestions from this video helped me out
youtu.be/yo0TCvB8Ipg
I remember having grass shadows turned off with everything else maxed out was enough to have steady 60+ fps with occasional dips to 40-45 and i have basically your setup, but with 1070 (and it's the CPU bottlenecking performance since XR engine can't into multithread for shit)

>talk to loner at the start
>gather 6 boar chops quest
>finally get them
>guy is on the northern end of limansk now
>never been there, what could go wrong

I am beginning to regret my course of actions

there wasn't a single iteration of a STALKER game (official or mod) where the quickest way to gear up and get a starting cash wasn't just loot up the corpses (and, in harshest situation, when A-life is not implemented for faction wars - go head hunting with your PM on nearest den of bandits, violently save-scumming your every step)

Kill yourself, dumb cunt

Kill yourself retard

>save-scumming
permadeath all the way my man, I can't go back to normal

also, in cock 1.5 you make jack shit from looting, it's kind of silly actually how little traders are willing to pay for things like ammo

but then artifacts sell for a fortune and are pretty common so the economy becomes a cakewalk as soon as you get a veles from the first loot box you find

have they nerfed the ammo prices? Because in 1.4+ something version i still made wad of cash by just selling them to a highest bidder (it was actually interesting to investigate who'll offer more for a certain type of ammo/grenade/mine)

severely, to the point where it's just not worth it

you pay more for bread than what you gain from selling a full mag of 5.56

Sounds good

okay, now that is just silly

Kill yourself fuckwit

Sure, want me to stream it?

No, nobody would even notice you're gone

Are you retarded? I would be streaming it. You seriously are retarded. Kill yourself.

the early game economy in 1.5 is significantly harder not only because of the reduction in sell values, but because consumables are now weaker

a single sausage won't give you a full stomach anymore, meaning you need to actually buy food this time to stay fed, and since vodka is your only source of anti-radiation early on, it means you'll need even more food

medkits don't heal wounds very well, so you'll use bandages more often, requiring you to buy them as well

most things in the game is also more expensive, for example: 1.4.22 sunrise = 13k, 1.5 sunrise = 29k

price reductions from positive faction relations have been reduced as well, so you no longer get massive discounts at the start of the game from your faction vendor

enemies also drop significantly less loot, unloaded guns have less ammo (randomized amount rather than a full mag), you wont find medkits and bandages and food on every corpse anymore, yet again making it so you need to buy them yourself

but like I said, artifacts and how trivial it is to find them still break the economy, giving you practically infinite money the moment you find a veles

it is pretty silly that you make so little from selling useful things like ammo, and that enemies don't seem to be carrying anything, but it does make for a much more fun early game economy and I don't really see how else they could do it

Thanks. It helped a bit.

This is the best i can do i guess. Some options are either non functioning or produce artifacts. FXAA is one of the worst in that category. Still cant figure out how to get the sun-rays, particle effects, volumetric smoke and the fancy lightning effects to function properly. Even with the console tinkering.

If the Beard on Zaton is still paying as much as he does for the artifacts that still would be feasible to get tens of thousands as soon as you get couple of artifacts to sell.

also, it is understandable that the modders want to balance the game to be more challenging for old players, but it shouldn't break the immersion with having bread (unless it's from some greek artisan bakery) cost more than a box of bullets, unless those are just being farted out by the Zone/noosphere with every emission.

user!
I've come to solve your problem, for it is I, the GOD CORGI!
user, just put "r2_allow_r1_light 0" in the console, and all you will be happy forever!
No but seriously now user, this will solve it.

well in some parts of the world food is more expensive than bullets so it's not that unreasonable

Does anyone have a complete list of the achievements you can get in Call of Chernobyl?

F U C K

Google

kys

i am already dead

not him, but holy shit, user - you are a corgi wizard!
Running with everything on max and 4xMSAA and it looks silky smooth...
Why the hell haven't modders done that in a first place?

>Expecting anything from LA

because Lost Alpha is garbage my man

for a free standalone mod it was good enough (terrible car physics, sometimes far too stretched-out locations to run about and painful to watch unskippable cutscenes, but it's fun to explore nonetheless)

>good enough
Pathetic

>MSAA
>in STALKER
hmm?

fuck off already.
