I havent been around for at least a year, is Lost Alpha good yet? Last time I was here people said that the maps were pretty empty and it felt rushed

it's buggy garbage, avoid as a plague

my point still stands

Can you play Tetris on it?

user matherfucker...

Good thread

where is the best place to find Bubble in CoC

Jupiter is nice for them, since plenty of Chem anomalies. Had some luck in the anomaly next to the bandit base in the dark valley too.

cool, thanks

Always had luck finding one in east Pripyat

Always have been able to find one in the blackwater anomaly in yantar, just west of the ecologist bunker

Uhh, how does artifact finding work in CoC?
I've only played SoC and CS.
In SoC they're lying on the ground like candy and it's easy to pick them up. In CS I usually need to navigate to the center of the anomaly field. I tried to do the same thing in CoC but I spent like 2 minutes at the centre of field and couldn't find nothing, then my character died from radiation exposure. Is it bugged or there is a random chance that an artifact won't spawn?

You need a detector in CS, CoP and CoC to find artifacts. And there' won't always be an artifact in the field when you first go in there, they spawn after an emission at a chance.

idk how it worked in CS
In CoC you need a detector first of all because you don't start with one.
Depending on which detector you have you get different feedback. echo only beeps more the closer you get, bear shows you the general direction, veles shows you the exact location of any artifacts in range (if you circle around most anomalies, you'll be able to see if there are any artifacts in them), and svarog is like veles but also shows individual anomalies at the cost of artifact dots being harder to see.

Unless you edit trader files (which I actually recommend, because most traders seem to equip their detectors and thus won't sell them) you most likely won't be able to get veles or svarog until you have a lot of rep with ecologists, though I have found a veles in a stash once.

I found a high tech detector in the stash that actually showed all anomalies in the vicinity so it was easy to avoid to get to the center, though it wasn't showing where the artifact is like other detectors, maybe I was just unlucky

Oh, you found a Svarog? That's some nice luck. Yeah, just wasn't an artifact in the anomaly field at the time.

I found a Svarog on my most recent roll, but all of the other stashes I've searched are empty.

Anyone know how to increase the spawn rate of Bandits in Call of Chernobyl mod?

I want to shoot more people.

What else should I add to my load order for CoC?
So far I have:
DoctorX's Dynamic Anomalies
DoctorX's Dynamic Faction relations
DoctorX's Questlines
Outfit addon
STCoP Weapon pack

I like it, no complaints... I was just curious as to what else, in your opinion, I should add in.

Cheers S.T.A.L.K.E.R!

Improved damage if you want your battles to be quick and deadly, basically one shot, one kill, though enemies with armor will take 3-4 shots to take down if you hit the chest. Headshot's are 1 hit kill no matter the armor (Exoskelets take 2 I think, though I haven't fought a lot of them to say for sure)

Uninstall all doctor meme trash

Fuck yeah, that sounds really good!
Thank you!
What about graphical mods?

Why? Gives me something to do other than "get this weapon".
I don't want a full on story, but some lose missions would be cool.

Stalker is good looking enough as it is.

Turn the stalker spawn multiplier in the options' Game tab, download Warfare or Living Zone, enjoy.
Side effects may include retarded yet entertaining shit like Monolith clashing with Duty in Cordon.

Turn the stalker spawn multiplier to the max value, I mean. Pardon my retardation

I turned it to 1.5x but I find it still too little. I'll probably try and download the Warfare mod thanks.

Though I was hoping that COC had a config file that lets me change the squad size and probability or somethin.

did you start a new game? also it takes a while for the ALife to kick in, you're only going to see effects in a few hours.
I played with 0.5 with Living Zones and Cordon was a fucking warzone with firefights happening from 100 metres from each other with Loners, Bandits, Military, Monolith, Duty duking it out with each other. It was insane

Can confirm. The first hour was underwhelming, with Rookie Village looking relatively deserted. I quickly changed my mind when I say ~60 stalkers squatting in Rostok.

>Loners, Bandits, Military, Monolith, Duty duking it out with each other. It was insane
I want this.

I'm probably in my 10th hour and completed a couple of missions, I've gotten good rep to almost everyone except for Monolith and Bandits, and that was on the 1.0x Multiplier.

I tried the 1.5x and it didn't change by a lot.
I'll probably start as a Monolith so I have an excuse to shoot everyone.

do Stalkers squat with A-Life enabled? I only see them patrolling around and bases are deserted.
Kind of sucks because all that comfy campfire feeling is lost after you return from a long raid only to be welcomed by an empty bar

it also has it's downsides, for example you can never ever let your guard down, not even at bar cause there some military or merc might spawn and kill you while you're trading with barman
>legacy captcha is no longer supported
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Bueno, just what I wanted. Shooting more people than mutants.

>do Stalkers squat with A-Life enabled?
Oh boy
Rostok is a fucking FORTRESS in my playthrough, there's so many squatting stalkers that some Duty cunts can be found sitting in the middle of the road. It's fucking hilarious.
Even Sakharov's bunker is surrounded by 15+ stalkers from various factions at all times.
>mfw

You can increase it under alife_stalker_pop over 1.5x in axr_options.ltx, but increasing it too much will lead to crashes. This was 7x.

>73 monolith guys at Radar
turning off Brain Scorcher would be fun at those settings

I'll try it.
Thanks senpai.

What a time to be alive.

When you get those reverse bounty hunt missions in CoC, can you kill the initial quest-giver and then tell the other guy that you killed the guy he put a bounty on?

I've fully upgraded my AK12 and it seems that it's better than all other rifles, but I've grown bored of it so, what's a comfy and good rifle? Good accuracy is a must.

How does reputation work with gaining and losing, and what are the benefits? Just better trader inventories?

I had to port over some of my blast and frag values for barrels and dynamite, so ended up spawning a bunch of them in front of the Dead City base with mines and mutants all around.

The fucking sound of it, holy it shit blew all of the windows out, and knocked out half of my health from standing on top of the building.

Anyone else ever had this weird thing happen where when it's dark ingame and you look at anything that has the sky as backdrop (trees/birds/wires) it has a faint white glow/outline?

This is driving me insane as I have tried many fixes but nothing works.
Most infuriating thing is that no matter how I take a screenshot, you don't see it in them. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm adding a fucking phone pic since there is no other way to screenshot it.

And also, I changed the loadouts, initially I simply wanted to give the factions different knives, but instead of just doing that I decided to add a few items to each faction's starting loadout.

Loners get the sleeping bag on start, while some other factions get backpacks at start, and or other items such as additional medkits, bandages, or weapon/suit cleaning stuff, drugs, or mines, Monolith gets a butterfly mine and 2 free hand grenades while Clear Sky gets the stove at start. Duty gets an army medkit and vinca, while Mercs get gun cleaning items and suit repair tape, while Freedom gets a free mine and hercules+diazepam.

I'm not really trying to make the starting equipment sets work the same way, I'd like to at least have them set up so that each faction at the start is given different gear and players will adapt to it, uniform balance notwithstanding.

So I wanted to try AMK 1.4.1. but it refuses to launch, my log says the following:

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : wave&&wave->length()

stack trace:

I downgraded to 1.004, installed base
AMK 1.4.1 then patch 1 and patch 2.
Finally i applied AMK 1.4.1 English Translation user Edition 1.3.
Is something wrong with the install procedure or am I missing something?

Can I get random faction armor if I'm hostile to the said faction? For example, I want to get Monolith Suit as a Loner but of course for obvious reasons I can't trade with them

Just started Misery for the first time. Holy shit, i never thought that just a simple rebalance/item mechanics stuff could change the game this much
>ah yes, good old call of pripyat

after couple hours i'm finally getting grasp of it. It's really nice how i finally have a good reason to get this armorless science suit, i never even considered it before, but now ordinary armor burns in anomalies. And new equipment repair system that favors constant small field maintenance is also cool.

so much good autism, so fun

What are you playing?

I've gotten a Freedom suit from doing a quest for a random Loner or something in CoC. I'm sure you can find it as loot too. In fact, if you're playing SoC there's a Monolith suit in Wild Territory, at the end of those battlements that the mercs are in at the beginning.

comfy, secluded spots to put your stash?

CoC
I assume I'll get it in some random stash?
Also, are vanilla drops still valid? I remember there was one Monolith Suit at X-18

Rostok's tower is the most convenient place imo.

A lot of the vanilla loot was changed or removed.

It's your monitor brat. Sorry.

it's "sharpening" in your display

What? So it's like a PSP effect on his monitor? But why?

normies are retarded, retarded demand generates retarded supply. i think LG adds it to every single display they produce.

it's disable-able though, so no sweat, only sometimes it might be a bit difficult to pick exact "amount" setting where sharpening ends and blurring starts

HOLY SHIT IT WORKED, THANK YOU BASED ANONS.

I'm getting this error whenever I accept a new random quest in CoC
What gives?

>drx

Read the god damn readme!
FUCK

Try resetting monitor to deafault settings. Other than that it's post process bullshit from reshade. Or delete your user.ltx file

Can you actually find RPG's in last day ? I've never seen one.

Doesn't Monolith have a few guys who spawn with RPGs?

I did find one from a monolithian with two rockets.
They're pretty rare and are only sold at later trader tiers.

Does faction goodwill reset after every change in Last Day when using Dynamic Faction Relations?

Thanks for responding guys, I was getting desperate.

One spawns in lab X-18 in the area where the pseudogiant hangs out

I just got a mission from Clear Sky dude to bring some documents from Agroprom Underground, how fucked am I? I'm gonna get raped by Burers, Chimeras, Controllers and who knows what else, I just know it

Ironman mode?

Embrace it

How do i get a stable 60 fps in vanilla SoC, any particular nvidia & INI settings in particular. I lag aroud fires too.

Post inventory.

Yeah set an fps cap with nvidia inspector.
Turn off vsync. And for the lag around fires, change pre-rendered frames to 2, I think.
Also >2018 >no ssd

>proud owner of new 2560x1440 144hz monitor
>stalker is capped at 60fps
>disabled vsync both in game and on nvidia panel
>disabled 60fps limiter in game
>still 60fps
is there any hope?

Lol what are you playing?

I hope you are checking fps in game, and not just the main menu

what's wrong with 60 fps?

you figure it out yet??

why do people do this? post asking for help and either don't even say what game/mods+addons their using at all. or just say the bare minimum, "coc".
if you want help you need to post more info.

So I'm playing CoC + Roadside Picnic pack and it's fun af so far. Is there any way to tone down significantly the ambient noises though? They fire off like every 5 seconds at high volume making the zone kinda sound like a jungle.

>play meme mod

what the fuck have you done to make soc to not run over 60 fps easily

>Freedom gets a free mine
that doesn't seem fitting for a bunch of hippies who are about conservationism and coexistence with the zone

It means You didn't install the mod properly.

What are some of the most ridiculous quests that NPCs have given you?
Here's a few I've got
>rookie NPC asks you to find him a replacement gun because he lost it somewhere
>he asks for FN2000
or
>NPC at Cordon asks me to kill a guy who put a bounty on him
>guy's location is the Northwestern corner of NPP

does AO3 gun stats list exist anywhere on the web or do I have to extract it?

meme quests made by retards dont count

lol
doesnt exist, this ain't cawadoody
you compare weapons in game

I wanted to mod in a gun but need to see stats of other guns similar to it so I know how to balance that shit

what gun are you trying to add?
usually guns with the same calibers and weight have about the same stats

VHS and HS2000 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HS_Produkt_VHS

Famas or l85a2 would probably fit the best I would think

maximum comfy, wish I played CoC sooner

It does say it was originally much like FAMAS, but changed mostly till final version so I guess that could work

does AO have Famas? Never seen it and I'm a sucker for bullpup guns

>>pick them off one by one using gorilla tactics because they can't see through foliage :^)
how the fuck? Goddamn reeds might be invisible for NPCs in my game yet I'm stuck like LaForge with no visor trying to guess where can I run to hide
