What are some ammo types that could be added into the zone that are somewhat useful? (not talking about calibers).

I think hollow-point ammunition would be awesome.

So i just installed Joint Pak 2 and I had some questions about what the gameplay options mean.
avtosema complexity depending on player death
NPC Recognition
Frequent Respawn
Subtle Caches
I have no idea what any of these mean
pls helap

found this in the chest at the checkpoint from garbage to cordon, surely this cant be legit?

>>146669220
Nope, that's a trap. It'll explode when you put it on, best just leave it there.

>>146668687
custom shotgun loads. Dragon's Breath and some DIY shit would be nice

>>146669354
i am going to leave it, no doubt, since i just started and this is straight up cheating, but still curious as to why it is there.

So is CoC warfare more fleshed out now than the clear sky faction wars mod? I'm just wondering since I'd rather not download CoC if the difference is marginal.

Any good weapon packs or animation edits which work with latest version of OGSE?

>>146669220

Hey /sg/!

I am a new stalker, so treat me with care! :D I was just wondering what mods are the hot shit today!? I saw some cool mods like MISERY And Complete? CAn I merge them? Also how about weapons. I want loads of weapons. I saw the Super Mod Pack and I was wondering if I can just copy the weapon files into my Lost Alpha directory? And do I need to apply any patches to make them compatible??? Thank you! Also i want ai to throw less grenades and have some prettier graphics. I was wondering if there is any shaders i can just copy and paste from other games??? I play a lot of Fallout 2 and I like the look but Lost Alpha is just much prettier.

I appreciate all you're efforts and sorry for the bad english! :D

I havent tried the games yet but i look forward to it haha! I love scarey games! :D

i would assume npc recognition means seeing them on the map or something.

Frequent respawn is probably npc/mutant spawn rates?

no idea for the other ones

>>146677883
I tried googling "avtosema" and your post was all that came up, but "npc identification" must be being able to tell if an npc is an enemy or not using binocs/crosshair and "frequent respawns" must just be how quickly npcs come back after they die.

>>146677883
I believe npc recognition is the name popping up if you're centered on them. Subtle caches probably means it won't show up on your pda if you find a body that gives you a cache location.

>>146677019
Well to be fair it is an older game and it just went on sale on steam. If you google stalker SoC then you hear about the complete mod in like the first post so asking about mods is then goingbto happen. It sucks only because idiots don't read the op even though it has a easy to understand layout and even written reviews on a lot of mods. Just don't respond to the idiots.

How do people even play Joint Pak 2 with these translations. My head hurts already, back to Stalkersoup I guess.

>>146687463
No, that's going to take a while, apparently as they are practically making an entirely new game. It's basically going to be a reinterpretation of the first game from what they have posted. A lot of ideas and elements will stay the same, but a lot of elements and characters will be completely overhauled.

>>146688405
What. I thought they already made pretty good progress, but that's good to hear anyway. I hope I'll get to finish the bachelor faggot's story before the remake comes out.

Probably been answered before, Warfare for COC fucks up mission name strings and there is a file you can delete to remove it.

Anyone know which one it is?

I am desperately hoping so, too. Something resembling stalkin with friends, and a decent roleplay server with actual gameplay and auto spawns is something I dream about

Man, I started SoC years ago, but was really bad at the game, I was stuck in some sewers. I think it was after we attacked a base and tried to rescue some guy. My biggest gripe was the weird difficulty system though. Like, on Easy everything was spongey as hell, but on hard everything was squishy as fuck

>>146688383
You can reach the ladder, and even if you cant you can survive the fall.

The transition isnt shown but its definitely there. How do you think everyone else got out?

>>146704474
Same, but such is life in the zone. It'll teach me to be less careless next time.

What graphical options impact FPS the most in CoC? Getting sub-30 even with shadows on low and AA/Sun rays off.

>>146704849
Sun shadow.

>>146704849
i've heard grass density plays a part

>>146704849
sunrays, sun quality, ssao, grass density

>>146711321
I'm tempted by Warfare, how is it?

>>146708418

Wait retards actually fall for installing Warfare for CoC?

>tfw finding CoP too easy right now
Maybe it's because CS tore me at the balls for not joining a faction, but this seems a lot less stressful so far. I'm just at Yanov though. Will the game get harder soon? Or should I up the difficulty? I'm thinking of killing random stalkers just to get a few more firefights now and then.

>>146711848
While it does need work/tweaking, though i've only played very little.

CoC is pretty barren anyway atm, so it adds some stuff to do.

apparently a future patch is adding more things to do but i havent looked into it much.

>>146711890
It's pretty good if you take the time to set it up, think of it as a mutant/NPC spawn editor first and foremost. At least it makes so that bandits fucking stop spawning in the dead city.

>>146711848

It's just you fighting endless waves of enemies constantly. It would be alright if it was just a checkbox you can select before starting a new game but instead it pretty much ruins everything.

Wouldn't be bad if they didn't change the amount of enemies or force everything to just go straight to your constantly.

Is there a way to make people drop their whole inventory when they die? It's not like you could carry the whole thing anyway when it comes to traders.

>>146715943
How?

>>146715836
Use the console. Alternatively start playing actually good games like 7.62 High Calibre, Jagged Alliance, Silent Storm.

>>146716043
Open death_manager.script
Search for "function keep_item"
Search for "release"
Put this at the beginning of that line: --

Unless CoC really changes how that works in which case figure it out yourself nerd.

>>146716379
So like this?

function keep_item(npc, item)
if not (item) then
return
end

local section = item:section()
if (always_keep_item[section]) then
return
end

local ini = npc:spawn_ini()
if ini and ini:section_exist("dont_keep_items") then
local se_item = alife():object(item:id())
if (se_item) then
--alife():release(se_item, true)

>>146716695
I guess they did change it, vanilla doesn't have an explicit blacklist like that
I guess it would be simpler to just write this right after the function line: do return end

Whew just finished SoC, had only played CoP so far, really glad I did, really enjoyed the game.
Now onto CS.

>>146717126
Be sure to do some of the factions. If you try to run through the game, the game will punish you for it. Then you'll just be doing trial and error at the end.

CoP is piss easy no matter how much you mod it

>>146718683
Just finish it and then try Misery or something.
>memery

>>146718683
I felt CoP was more about the exploration and atmosphere, the hardest parts imo were the Mercenary Base and the Weapons Trade in Zaton, because you have shit equipment and there are lots of enemies.
I guess the Tunel to move to Pripyat would come third, but Pripyat itself was pretty easy.

>>146716919
So

function keep_item(npc, item)
do return end
if not (item) then
return

>>146719245

Maybe I should just go back to SoC, but I do like the new areas in CoP too.

>>146719769
on the subject of the "Misery meme."
it's definitely worth playing but don't hesitate to tweak it to your liking.
Also use Armed zone.

Oh, I can tweak it? Doesn't sound too bad that way. I've read about it, and what it does, but it kind of sounds like it also makes things difficult just for the sake of difficulty. Which yes I want more of a challenge, but cutting three of my limbs off and expecting me to fight is a bit ridiculous too.

>>146719583
It worked but I just realized that was in a different gamedata, CoC doesn't have that file by default, it's an AO3 compatibility file from More NPCs addon. I copied it in anyways, think it will do anything bad?

>>146720170
well i meant tweak as in root around the files.
I usually adjust the actor file, for example.

>>146720447
What about Les Miserables ?

>>146720274
Then extract it
Yes that will probably do something bad

Ah, yeah I could do that too. Thanks for the help so far. Might go ahead and do that. Or just run through CoP and get it over with. Maybe do CoC or something afterwards.

Extract the fuggin vanilla CoC script so you can edit that without cramming whatever bullshit is in the AO one into your game

>>146721192
If a file isn't in the gamedata folder, it is packed in one of the archives the game uses. You want to get the file you're modifying from there, because it guarantees that it is up to date.

Can anyone tell me if the anon translation for Lost Soul is any good?

I played the machine translation awhile back and half of the guns had empty descriptions and debug names

>>146728214
it's pretty good

>>146728342
good to hear

>>146728564
I think Geonezis is better than LS tho

Hi lads. Thinking about replaying SoC.

What's good? Haven't played a full playthough since like 2012, and I used AMK and Complete. What's the new thing now?

>>146728665
what does Geo add exactly? And is the gunplay good?

>>146728835
It's 2.0 rather than 2.2. The gunplay is fine. Geo is focused on quests more than anything else, and most of them are decent, rather than running to the swamps then to cordon then to the swamps then to cordon again.

>>146729117
Then i'll definitely give that a shot at some point
More quests and better shooting than regular SGM sounds pretty good.

>>146729268
You should. SGM is one of the best stalker mods out there, honestly, and it's too bad it gets a bad rap just because the vanilla SGM isn't all that great. With LS or Geo it's really very enjoyable.

>>146729428
I've played quite a bit of 2.1, but eventually stopped after Yanov since i felt so overpowered (I also started running out of stuff to do)

After my current mod playthrough i'll try Geo.

>>146729117
Define good quest.

It seems fairly well known, plus there's a Shoker merge.

Wish there was a way to turn off Ironman mode.

It's the first time i've played CoC for more than 20 minutes and now i don't want to lose this character.

>>146737509
then don't die.

>>146737509

It's boring without ironman mode honestly. I have lost ironman characters with days worth of time put into them and it's just how things are. Start a new one and begin a new story.

>>146729268
The gunplay is good only by soup standards, so don't expect anything too amazing.

>>146736648
I tried to install it, with Shoker and all, but it kept crashing on me and I never figured out why.

>>146737913
I've put ironman on, so i guess i have to stick it out to the end.

Honestly the only reason im upset is that it's my first time really jumping into CoC.
then again it does make it more interesting, and my playthroughs won't drag on.

>>146738196
are you saying you cant turn off ironman mode?
nigga wut

>>146738196
Nigga just copy your savefiles as I told you. That's exactly how you get around ironman.

>>146738269
no i mean in mid-playthrough, since its my first real coc playthrough and i didn't want to lose the character.

I realize that if i didnt have it on the game might just be less entertaining, so i'll stick with it.

>>146738365
meh, you'll die soon enough. probably in a stupid way.

I've targeted some smart terrains in the neighbouring levels but nothing seems to happen. waited around for about 30 hours ingame and still nothing

>>146748212
Thanks man I'm going to check it out.

>>146708002
what mod?

>>146750596
CoC with some weapon mod.

>>146750596
CoC with STCOP

>>146750458
Here's OGSE 0692 (the old, better version) with AA2's nature and structure textures, HUD and mask overlays.
Also some other stuff like disabled turrets, no silencer penalties and viable full auto fire mode.
https://mega.nz/#!1QdHlL7Z!7yDfnS-DOg98LhyF8e0bhF-tvEy7omSwfNkMIciKZ7U

Just copy&paste after installing OGSE 0692 and it should work.

In Clear Sky what are the other 2 numbers next to target distance under your crosshair ?

>>146750775
Thank you. Any reason I shouldn't use 0693?
Also, what turrets?

>>146751081
>crosshair enabled
disgusting

>>146687349
Which translation did you use? The machine one?

>>146748143
AMK Autumn

>>146751175
>Any reason I shouldn't use 0693?
Well, it's just my opinion but from what I've seen ingame and from what I've read so far, it's quite a clusterfuck.
It has nice things too but all in all, it's way too busy.

0692 feels more tame. Some added/revived quests, just enough items, guns and suits to have a nice selection, but not too much to make it feel bloated. And lots of new/revived mutants.
And with the AA2 stuff added, it also looks quite nice while still enabling decent fps. The "fixed "gunplay feels nice in my opinion.

>Also, what turrets?
OGSE 0692 has automatic turrets at certain locations. They're pretty much laser cannons that send you flying through the map and you either hate them or like them.
I don't like them so much because they just feel kinda out of place.

>>146751909
>tame
0692 is a lot harder than 0693. Fear the mighty boar.

It's more like AMK, a mostly vanilla quest line with significant replay value through more difficult spawns, new mechanics, improved gunplay, etc

>>146751909
Also fuck those turrets. Did you use the version that v1ld cleaned up and posted? I have a link somewhere. Doesn't matter if it works.

>>146751909
>>146752026
>>146752102
You know what, I'm going to try both and decide.

>>146752026
I actually didn't play 0693 that much. Got the artifact, helped Tolik, popped some cartridges and tried to change some vaues like zoom in when aiming down sights and recoil.
Shit just didn't work out and I've done it multiple times before with success. That was basically it for me.

I meant "tame" more like "compact". No retarded boss enemies with big health and mana bars, not a thousand new fetch quests, no fucked up looking NPC models and all the other fuckery.

>>146752102
Just had a look, looks like someone called Ddraig wroe it.

>Ddraig posted:
>e: Since people hate the turrets so much (and for good reason) when I get home I'm going to write a quick little script fix that will disable turrets from spawning,

Why do people say this game has realistic combat? Enemies are still bullet sponges even at max difficulty. I'm talking about vanilla of course.

>>146754051
Mods.

>>146754051
Literally no one says that, you're just retarded

>>146754168
Sure, but then it's not that the game is realistic. Anyway, I'm playing with no mods after a lot of time with AMK and it's not as bad as I remember. A good headshot will kill any bandit.

>>146754409
I don't know man, I swear I've read reviews and shit about the game saying that, also some people here. In fact, if you read the pastebin in the OP you'll see:
>Realistic gunplay with bullet physics, character bleeding, specialised ammo types, factions, mutants.
There's no need to call people retarded though.

>>146756518
Then the author of the pastebin is retarded
Regardless, no one is a bullet sponge even in a vanilla if you just learn how to aim and shoot them in the face.

>>146754051
Pretty sure it's just a strong case of nostalgiafagging, or people literally playing with mods on their first run, and conveniently forgetting to mention this.

Vanilla gunplay is abysmal. If we talk about SoC, it didn't even have armour piercing mechanic. Ballistics were pretty simplistic as well.

I'm playing NS OP-2 and I've gotten a couple of quests where I have to bring large amounts of weapons and armor to certain characters but I don't know how to give it to them. Like for the guy in the hangar, Artyom I think, the quest says something about putting them in a backpack for him. Is it talking about the rucksack that you use to make stashes out of or what?

What do you fellas think of CoC's survival mode?
I find it fun when I need a distraction following a normal run ironman death. Learning my little squads names and then having to watch them die because I have no medkits for them is upsetting in all the right ways.

SGM 2.2 Lost Soul

>>146758369

>>146758369
Never really got into CoP mods. What's the fuss with SGM? I remember reading a forum thread back when it just started rolling out (not even v2 -- just initial SGM), and people were genuinely displeased with it.

>>146758369
What does that improve over regular sgm?? I played the shit out of that

PTRS FUCKING WHEN

>>146758703
It's a soup, and among the biggest ones out there. It also has surprisingly good quality control compared to other soups, which makes it really shine.
Don't really know about SGM versions before 2.0, but that's how it is with versions 2.0 to 2.2.

>>146758884
Basically unfucks the gunplay by putting in a version of STCoP over it, which is its big thing, and a bunch of other minor things.

>>146761109
MODS

>>146761109
Atmosphere and not having a shit engine. Most mods irremediably fuck with the atmosphere in a negative way, engine improvement will come in a matter of 10 years if we are lucky.

>>146761109
Without a doubt, atmosphere. And mods, I guess.
Change the engine for something that isn't a piece of shit, and get rid of stuttering in the meanwhile. Get rid of levelchangers. Unfuck the gunplay.

sakharov better take his sweet time with my psi helmet if he wants to live longer

>>146731405
I found that just now, but I'd really like everyone to drop everything since it kinda makes sense. I might just say fuck it and drop the More NPCs death_manager over and hope the game doesn't crash at any point. Copying over the unpacked resources death_manager causes a crash while loading. More NPCs version which has CoC and AO3 compatibility can get in game and everything.

I'm playing CoP with atmosfear 3 and absolute textures, and my framerate progressively gets worse as I play, but dying seems to reset it to 60+. Quicksaving / loading does not.
will I never be able to play ironman or is this a known issue with a fix?

No problem, I would advice you to visit polycount.com's wiki if you're serious about learning to model, cause there is tons of great information and I would advice not to read any game forum on how to learn to model.

Are there any mods where you can tame them instead?

>>146768474
It's more of a mixed bag to be honest. Some good people, some assholes.

>>146769203
Ask Noah about that shit.

Also why would you want to tame those fuckers.
Damn dogs, running around my feet and shit, biting my ankles.

>>146769203
>not relishing the whimpers and cries
How do you ever expect to make it in the ATF with that attitude? Pussy.

>>146769140
I'd like an option that would let me see the fuckers

how would i go about fixing this out of memory crash i get when i try to go to the truck cemetary through the dark valley?

>>146769973
such is zone in the life

>>146761109
I wish we had one huge map like far cry.

Is there a way to eliminate iron sight zoom in CoC?

>>146770083
restart the game

>>146770276
yes

>>146770121
no

>>146770549
restarting the game is a must when it crashes, but even after loading the autosave created before going into the truck cemetary, it crashes

>>146770615
try the autosave it creates after going into the truck cemetery, genius

>>146770737
>>146770615
Yeah, try the autosave.
It's helped me with certain crashes in the past

>>146770549
>yes
Do I have to modify every weapon's files or something?

>>146771815
yes

>>146770121
That'd be cool but it would require stupid amount of work for making it work and making it enjoyable.

>>146772342
At least it's not with a bloodsucker

OGSE is being overhauled and will be re-released under a new name.

>>146772571
what name? kinda wanna check that out

>>146772571

Why does everybody have VOG grenades and nobody has a fucking launcher for the damn things in CoC?

>game should throw literally every object at me in abundance

what are you going to spend your 2569001 ru on

>>146774448
No, I mean, why do people even have VOGs on them in the first place? What the fuck are they gonna use them for carrying that shit around?

I don't want everything in abundance. CoC already throws a shitton of guns, food and ammo at me anyway.

>>146774630
would you loot it?
