/sg/ - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. General

has he ever made a mod that wasn't garbage
baffles me why his shit is pinned to the top of coc

If it still has the placeholder name it's probably not supposed to be there at all

Weird, does it show up for anybody else? I've re-installed CoC about 4 times now with less and less addons because of how frustrating they can be, and each install it's there and never leaves his inventory even as other items rotate.

it's an animation item and shouldn't be in his inventory. pretty sure they fixed that, what version of coc and mods are you using?

1.4.22 since I keep reading bad things about 1.5
Currently using:
AO3
OA
Gnomus scopes
HD models
Immersive fast travel

thats because the section hand_radio in system.ltx needs to have can_trade = false added to it.
here i edited the one from coc's 1.4.22 patch and uploaded here.

see if you have one in your gamedata\configs\ directory
if not, then put this one in it
mega.nz/#!xQYHzDYS!PEXcVD2vDnBv_6-WUlHqUK4ED0apeVlNthGi7ta8KaU

if you do, then just simply open the one you have in notepad++
find
[hand_radio]:identity_immunities
add this at the bottom of the section
can_trade = false

then restart the game.

>Immersive fast travel
possibly you will crash with
Description: duplicate item id
Arguments" zat_b7_bandit_boss_sultan

though i can't remember if that was with doctorx questlines or not

Well shit, wasn't an issue, more of a curiosity, but thanks user.

>bad things about 1.5
What bad things?

yeah no problem

Nothing. 1.5 is basically CoM but without the shitty extra items. It's fucking awesome.

You seem to have posted the wrong OP, be careful next time!

You seem to have posted the wrong OP, be careful next time!

Economy is hecka rebalanced, some people think it's too grindy now

I don't like the rank restriction for companions, seems arbitrary, if I save a veteran's life in battle and normally he'd be grateful and want to roll with me if asked, randomly adding restrictions that force me to do rank grinding seems lame. Also "slower economy" means "selling prices nerfed, buying prices increased" which means early game is even more of a slog. Somehow I doubt the "damages and protections overhaul" is going to make mutants less of a bullet sponge, so coupled with increases in pricing and decreases in part value mutant hunting looks like a complete waste of time and resources.

>Somehow I doubt the "damages and protections overhaul" is going to make mutants less of a bullet sponge
Good guess, because mutants do much more damage and take much less now :^)

Thank you based OP

I really hate being right. Whatever, 1.4.22 is perfectly playable and maybe by the time 1.5 actually gets released they'll remove head from ass and make things better, or maybe somebody else will come along and fix their mess and we'll have yet another "chef" in the soup.

did they completely fix azazel mode in 1.5?

Why haven't they made mutant parts fetch more money from Duty than from the Scientists?

That's the fucking point of Duty, mutant bounties.

I can see them being worth equally to both, the scientists use them for research but you're right, Duty wants those mutants dead real bad. For that matter, why aren't all non-Duty non-Military patches worth more to Duty?

Because trader buy prices are now unified. Bandit pays as much as ecologist, etc.

The scientists want mutant parts for research, but Duty wants mutant parts as bounty. They could be worth more to either, but I suspect that high level mutants could fetch more money from Duty and a lot of their fetch quests could be written around that.

Same goes for patches and all factions, turn the patchs into quest items with low level rewards.

>Because trader buy prices are now unified.
For what purpose?

Simplicity. Instead of having to balance each trader's prices individually, you simply change a single file. From the dev's perspective (and for modders), this is great. From a gameplay perspective, not so much.

>_____________________memery

Couldn't they do per faction modifiers?

They have simple rep modifiers, so very good rep would have them selling for 10% less and buying for 10% more, but that's about it.

DON'T BULLY MISERY

Not counting the medics and barkeepers, since their inventory is mostly empty, only the loners would benefit from that since they have the most traders (4). Most factions only have two at most. You're better off just restoring the previous trader files.

They only do it because Misery Full concept MODIFICATION is what most people think of when they think of "STALKER", and they're contrarian as fuck. So they sit here shitposting about it and virtue signalling their nerd cred about how they dislike everything that's popular, while they're currently playing it and tabbed out.

>They only do it because Misery Full concept MODIFICATION is what most people think of when they think of "STALKER"
um, no
>they're contrarian as fuck.
spotted the guy who got meme'd out of his shill thread on /v/
>So they sit here shitposting about it and virtue signalling their nerd cred about how they dislike everything that's popular, while they're currently playing it and tabbed out.
>anything stalker
>popular
all the posts i've seen that aren't shitting on misery are about CoC and AMK
i'm sorry Veeky Forums not liking your selling old cigarettes and bags of pills simulator upsets you that much, maybe the reddit hugbox is more your speed

//---------------------------------------------------------\\

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Misery. The difficulty is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Korean MMOs most of the grinding will go over a typical player’s head. There's also the dev's linear outlook, which is deftly woven into his mechanics - the game's philosophy draws heavily from Eve Online, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these mechanics, to realize that they're not just artificially difficult - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Misery truly ARE casuals- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the mechanic of being instakilled from 300 meters by a bandit with a Makarov which itself is a cryptic reference to Arthur's smuggled pistol in Roadside Picnic. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as they sell artifacts for less than the price of a loaf of bread. What fools… how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

WISH YOU AWAY UNBELIEVER

Haven't played CoCk in a while. Should I install1.5 or Call of Memery for the best gopnik experience?

1.5 is a better CoM, so play that.

Shittery is stupid desu

1)Find groups of losers fighting
2)Wait till they die/kill them all
3)Loot bodies, get 150+ kg of shit
4)Slowly crawl to vendors
5)Repeat 99 times

Truly the most hardcore stalker experience.

>dozens of hours playing x
>shitpost about x
Typical. Post your mod and show me how much better YOU can do. Oh wait, the only thing you can create is bullshit criticism of other people's work. What a big boy you are, I bet mommy is proud.

STOP BULLYING

Why is Misery so fuck ugly?
Like he's had years to work on this piece of fuck but every icon is ugly as sin

it's funny watching shills melt down when they hit the brick wall that is Veeky Forums going 90mph, the idea that people don't like your thing really gets you boiling doesn't it

NO BULLY

It has no style
It has no grace
Misery is a fucking disgrace

Havent been here in a while cause iv been playing other gayms,
Why are cunts sperging about memery allof a sudden?

Because when you have a thick CoCk you want to fuck something with it

Shittery shill thread on /v/ right now.How pathetic.

Post your mod and prove you can do better.

>half a million downloads
>disgrace
And you fucks claim you aren't playing the contrarian.

STOP THE BULLY

1. Someone posts some shit bait
2. Someone else wants (You)s too and replies in kind
3. Repeat step 2 ad infinitum

New update came out recently and with more material and excuses to shitpost, also this

go back to day z shittery cucks

>if you can't do better you can't criticise anything
I consume more art in one week than you've seen in your lifetime and can easily say without a doubt misery is one of the lowest quality, most over-hyped attempt at art in modern history.

If you view modifications and video games as a form of artistic expression, with mods existing as an enhancement to the original piece, misery is like someone deliberately spilling coffee on a piece and then scribbling on it with a permanent marker and claiming ''making it worse makes it better''

Then you get spastic retards who will defend to the death the coffee stains because they're too fuckin stupid and ignorant to realise it's not avante garde or boundary breaking art it's just poor quality attempts at something better and then claiming they meant to do it that way since the start.

hey, let's make something that is key to gameplay quality of life such as the UI have some shitty, unrelated textures, make everything look decolored and jpged to death! gotta experience da misery xD

>I consume more art in one week than you've seen in your lifetime
You consume like a glutton and yet you create nothing. Your opinions are worthless as you lack the perspective of a True Creator.
>over-hyped
There's that contrarianism again.
>''making it worse makes it better''
There's more people playing Misery than every other mod combined except for CoC. Clearly the vast majority of people disagree with you.
>poor quality attempts at something better
So where's your creation so that I may critique it? What's that? You have nothing? You're just a coward? Yeah, that's what I thought.

kill yourself

so...this...is the power...of bait

>let's edit out the higher quality existing icons and make them look like something a BR made in ms paint on a 640x640 pc monitor in 1994

>hey friend don't you think this mod looks a bit bad?

>it's called MISERY for a reason you fucking luddite idiot shit

>create nothing
WRONG
>contrarianism
If I am to argue with you I must take up a contrary position
>more people
What other mods exist that are as comprehensive as Misery?
People enjoy having more content, regardless of quality.
They're swapping over to CoC because it has more content and also isn't a piece of shit.
>If you don't create in the same field you can't critique fallacy
stop

Honestly I thought I was being obvious about it, but apparently not.

>get a high threat assassination, bounty hunter, and contract kill from three different NPCs across two zones
>it's all for the same guy in the same spot
holy shit what did this guy do

look for more before killing him

That sounds like a bug, but it shouldn't be, because that's awesome.

Installed CoC and got these weird black dots, very obvious on gray buildings and roads. Got a decent PC so that shouldn't be the problem.

current config

Tell ambient occlusion to fuck off

Use DX9, also

what to do for guns, guns and more guns for CoP?

I see there's the The Armed Zone mod but it apparently requires Misery? I don't want to be miserable yet.

STCoP Weapon Pack

oh this is neat, I didn't realize mods had their own addons.

Thanks user.

???
Did you mean to say CoC? Because that one is a(n outdated) port of the original mod for CoP.

Changed one thing at a time.
SSAO was responsible for the black dots.
DirectX9 made the game run slightly smoother.

DX9 should also cut load times by more than half. If you've got a fast SSD, it can put quickload times under 4 seconds..

DX10 does have better lighting and stuff if you want it. The main thing is just to avoid DX11 like the plague.

> avoid DX11
b-but muh rain effects

pls r8 my latest Zippo™ mod by Misery™ Development Ltd.

I noticed that too.
I might go for DX10 later on. But I never fell for Stalker because it was pretty.
Thanks again.

What exactly is going on when you use DX10 Enhanced with DX10.1 checked?

imgur.com/a/ka9uI

Is 1.5 in its current state worth playing now or should I just wait for the full release?

AO is the only good weapon pack, you can't prove me wrong.

It's worth playing if you specifically want to help find bugs (of which there are plenty) to ensure that 1.5's release isn't as much of a shitshow as 1.4.

Correct. AO is good, STCoP is great, and OWR is excellent.

Just wait.

if stalker runs like ass on your pc with 1.4.22, 1.5 is worth it as I've had so much more of an optimized experience.
Aside from that, not really.

>72 hours later
>still mad

Don't burn your monitor, you might get autism from the smoke

That has to be the ugliest screen I've ever seen. Are you playing that on a first gen LCD TV or something?

what are you cunts talking about that's clearly an ingame screenshot from MISERY™

this fgt gets it.

>lighter not 50% rust
Nice try

Upon closer inspection, it looks like the lighting is actually worse in 10.1. Really noticeable in the tower in the top left.
