I don't think it's necessary. Doubt it would work very well, too.

>>147942330
Awful. Sir Gay would get more money, users will get pissed because modding STALKER isn't like modding Bethesda games, and that could lead to STALKER's image of a good game getting tarnished which in turn means even lower chances of a STALKER 2 ever happening.

>>147942657

Also my point was, why nukes? If it went down like in the film eventual visitors could see how badly we fucked up much better. I'm pretty sure that nukes would obliterate pretty much every distinguishable landmark.

About what?

Alright, about STALKER: would dropping OWR on top of RCA work, or does OWR require manual merging?

>>147950707
Try it and see for yourself

>>147950707
What the fuck is RCA? And the answer is no

>>147950558
>About what?
It's this really neat game called stalker. You probably haven't heard of it.
>>147950531
I'm waiting for the thread to get nuked. I don't think it will happen.
Somehow we've made some sort of anti-anti-shitposter wall.

>>147950707
The fuck is RCA? But yeah, if you gotta ask it needs manual merging.

>>147950826
>>147950834
>>147950892
I meant RMA. The mod that adds cut content to SoC.

>the answer is no
No to what?

>>147950707
Go through the checklist.
Does RCA affect literally ANY traders/prices/guns? Does RCA add in anything new to random faction loadouts? Does RCA affect any descriptions, sights, etc? If yes to any of those, then you will have to merge it. This works for literally every single mod ever.

Is OL 3.1 any good?

So i started playing Lost Soul. It's pretty good so far, guns feel nice and enemies aren't too bullet spongy. Although low-tier mutants are 2-shotting me and bleeding is a bit excessive. That'll probably work itself out when i get better gear though, like the other SGM versions

>implying there is any sort of moderation in /vg/ save for the usual stuff

>>147951119

It's real good but a shame they removed the manuals and all the special weapons, like Lynx and Surf.

Instead of getting Predator for the final hunting mission you just get a standard low-end pump-shotgun.

>>147951293
I thought OWR for SoC only changed the 3d models and animations while retaining the exact same config files as vanilla. Did I get that completely wrong?

>>147951491
That's probably true but RMA adds cut guns too

Is there a tool that makes merging mods easier, like Wrye Bash or FNVEdit ?

>>147951617
Aw fuck. In that case, would it be feasible to install absolute nature on top of RMA Autumn without having to fuck with config files and have it work? Also what would I need to do to get back the shaders that were used in vanilla SoC instead of the dumb muted colors from AA2?

Really? Well that's a shame. The unique guns are half the reason to want a good weapon pack.
Are you sure the manuals are gone? i think i remember finding one when i last played, not sure though.

>>147951962
Like every other mod - the game loads the shit that is in the DBs first and then loads what's in the gamedata folder.

>>147952068
Why?

>>147952306
That is very much not what I was asking
You can't just replace a mesh and be done with it unless it's offset exactly the same amount and has exactly the same number of sounds and animations with exactly the same names and exactly the same particles and blah blah blah

>>147952113

They replaced them with other unique guns with unique models. Some of them OP.

Manuals are still in but I don't think they have any effect.

Don't mind him, he's got tourettes + autism and it's his reply to anything he doesn't like.

>>147951890
there's the STG58 which is arguably one of the best FALs ever made

>>147952532
Anything AA2 related is garbage, it's the misery of SoC

>>147952740
Well i'm not gonna complain about OP guns, I can appreciate fucking up Alpha squads.
Hopefully manuals work, I'll check my stats before and after i use one, maybe it'll show an effect.

After playing Geo quite a bit, and losing my saves to a recurring crash, it's nice to have better guns with sgm, even if there are less quests.

>>147952914

Do something about it

>>147954916
I kinda like the 7.62x51 rifles having high recoil. The SR-25, HK417 and SCAR have similar recoil to the STG58.
If anything I'd increase the ACE's recoil.

I sure fucking love upgrades that have no repercussion whatsoever, negative recoil or the 101% accuracy bug.

>>147956972

It's realistic ))))))

>>147955096
It happens in pretty much all calibers too, the G36 has basically no recoil, while the AR-15 has too much.

>>147957164
That actually is with some muzzle brakes

>>147957221
I wonder why the fuck he started with the bloat approach instead of taking things really gradually.

>>147957323
That's what I'm saying. It's not much. And downward recoil is much easier to counter than the upward one, but it's still a thing.

Don't muzzle devices make a shitton of noise? I thought that's the reason why "perfect" compensators aren't common at all in military service in first place.

>>147957779
Yep. They direct the noise towards you. Sadly there's no reason to simulate that in vidya and compensators will never have any disadvantages.
They're also fucking expensive for such a little piece of metal.

>>147957961
>there's no reason to simulate that in vidya
Eh? Deterring people from using them is a pretty good reason.

>>147958162
Sorry, I meant to say "there's no WAY to simulate that in vidya".
I got to much into the Stalker spirit and I'm sucking on a bottle of vodka.

>>147957961
in Planetside 2 when you fire you briefly appear on enemies minimap, if your weapon has a compensator the range at wich enemies will see you on their minimap increases.

>>147958417
>"there's no WAY to simulate that in vidya".
Screen fuckery and louder audio files?

>>147958551
Makes sense. You could also make the muzzle flash bigger and the players easier to spot this way.

>>147958562
But that's fucking annoying and always looks cheesy. And video games are supposed to be fun and not annoying. Main reason why Misery is shit.

>But that's fucking annoying and always looks cheesy. And video games are supposed to be fun and not annoying.
Different taste for different people. I fucking love military FPSes as much as STALKER. Shame I can't say anything good about Arma's community and RO2 isn't THAT good either.

>>147959003

It's basically a standalone version of Project Reality.

>>147959704
Isn't Project reality standalone now?

>>147959704
No and I don't intend to until it actually gets finished. I don't want to pay them for betatesting their crap. And I didn't hear good things about its community either.

Also Squad is more like PR that isn't FUCKING ANCIENT. Theoretically.

>>147959998
I only bought KF2 at launch and oh boy do I fucking regret that. Especially now that TW went in full jew mode. In fact I won't buy RS2 either, unless I consistently hear good things about it.

I bought KF1, RO2, etc only after they were past of their point of midlife of whatever and I don't regret buying those one bit.

I just finished Claear Sky on veteran. It wasn't as bad as people say, just not as memorable as SoC. The story was dissapointing, though, and revisiting areas from the previous game gets old fast.

Now I got to get my hands on CoP. How does it compare to the first one? Does it add new mechanics, rebalancing, or anything remarkable?

I've been introduced to this series recently and I think I'm in love with it, despite the notorious flaws.

It's my most played stalker game.
I play Stalker mostly for its gunplay and it seems like CoP mods usually try to improve it. Some also add extra content as well.

Honestly, you may just wanna rush through vanilla and move onto mods for it.

>>147967802
If all else fails you can install CoC for the polish of CoP but with the maps of the other games

>>147968476

>can't go back to CoC 1.3.2 after being spoiled with the 1.4 beta patch

Is there a way to know wich trader file each trader is using ?
I edited trade_monolith and it owrked fine for Preacher but I tried editing bar_visitors_barman_stalker_trader which is supposedly Barkeep's trade file and it didn't.

>>147976312
CoC, right?
I went into the trade folder and i saw "trade_barman" instead of what you put up.
Then again i still have 1.3.2, not sure if that file changes if you move to 1.4

Yeah forgot to mention it's CoC.
I have 1.3.2 as well.
Other than
bar_visitors_barman_stalker_trader
I have
trade_barmen_all


The other stuff is self explanatory.
I googled the first one and found an old /sg/ saying bar_visitors_barman_stalker_trader should be barkeep.

Is there a way to get "A Man of Balance" if I already turned Magpie to Gonta? Trying to get the Monolith Survivors on one side but both are being assholes still. The only thing I can do left is give the General's PDA to either side I feel like.
Or is there a console command I can use to raise one sides high enough?

>>147980828
did you go hang out with that guy at the zombie house, and got nitro his tools, and rescued that dipshit from the bandits in the warehouse? thats how I got freedom to take the monolith in. magpie didn't seem to matter.

>>147979853
Works for Duty trader as well.
So far it doesn't work for Owl, Beard and Barkeep.

>>147980126

I've got an Atmosfear menu option to set its config so either it's built it or I installed it as well.

>>147980908

Uncle Yar? He's for freedom as far as I know. Unless it's someone else I'm missing. I did the other two though, and both are still not accepting of either.

>>147980952
Sid doesn't work either.
I'm guessing it's something to do with traders that are in the vanilla games and it only works with atrders added by CoC ?

>>147981357
if you compared the files for added traders with vanilla, what are the differences?

>>147981470
Just compared Sid's file with Preacher's.
Couldn't find any significant differences, the structure is the same.

>>147980828
>Is there a way to get "A Man of Balance" if I already turned Magpie to Gonta?
Turning Magpie in to Gonta is part of how you get A Man of Balance.

I don't think you can get either side to accept the ex-monolithians if you go for A Man of Balance though.

>>147982886
I thought it was other requirements, like selling the two PDAs to Owl. So I'm basically screwed in not having a full squad for Pripyat?

I say give it a try and decide.

>>147984669
From what I understand to get A Man of Balance you hgave to remain neutral in the Duty/Freedom conflict in Yantar.

To get either Duty or Freedom to accept the Monolith guys you have to pick a side in the conflict.

So it looks like they're mutually exclusive.

>>147980828

You are going to have to pick a side if you want one side to accept the monolithians.

>>147984669

Got it.
Barkeep trader file is defined by the script bar_barman. I thought it was enought to just edit the trader file and it would get called by the packed script, but it turns out you need to have the script unpacked in the configs\scripts\bar folder for it to work properly.
Now I just need to find the scripts for the other vanilla traders.

it's gonna be awhile. and then the launcher might decide to not tell you it's done, so ballpark it if that happens. also if you're going to try out 1.4 make a backup of the 1.3.2 file just in case you hate it.

Has anyone here ever actually managed to locate all necessary tool boxes to get full upgrades *before* it's doable/practical to fight your way to Red Forest?

I'm sitting here with a Bandit Exoskeleton and an M249 and I haven't even found a set of basic tools yet. Here's to a long jog.

>>147993092
okay, the update should be done, the green bar is full. Whenever I choose to launch the game, it accepts and tries to run, but then nothing happens. What do?

>>147935513
wat a sadly lonrly fuvk

>>147971395
1.4 is taking long because AO3 and STCoP are being re-done. The addon script for these mods caused a lot of problems that are fixed. Also engine additions allowed us to make these mods look 'official'. You can drag scopes onto guns now and scopes highlight for weapons, just like normal addons. The ui_equipment_icons was also trimmed by half because of new engine addition to layer icons. 1.4 is also being redone as a new full release. 1.2 and the installer are being tossed in the garbage. 1.4 will be just be zipped up directory of the full mod.

>>147997893
I'm assuming you're a developer or in touch with a developer of CoC.

Will you guys keep all game and patch data in .db files instead of actually in the gamedata folder? That causes a lot of trouble with 1.3.20 when I try to reinstall mods.

>>147987737
try the CoC repo link in the op

>>147990005
do yourself a favor and always download the latest full manual patch from moddb. the cocdater is good for small, incremental updates, but very slow if you're going from base to 1.3.20 for eg. downloading tiny files one by one is always going to be a bad idea when there's a lot of them due to the per-file request latency and overhead, which is why the large single patch file is better.

>>147993451
no, it's a really shitty mechanic (haha)

other shitty mechanic is randomizing getting stashes as rewards for quests, the very stashes that have a random chance of holding tools that are a core mechanic. all this does is force you to do quicksave/load before turning in a quest. could understand if the die was rolled at the time the quest was created, but doing it at turn in time is just bad design.

tools should be proper location-based quests. mechanic tells you where you can find them, several maps away if needed and even further for advanced tools.

this whole part of the game needs improvement. 1.4rc1 is a great step forward so hopefully we'll see more of this kind of cleanup.

>>147997042
are you using the launcher icon that CoC put on your desktop? don't launch the exe directly.

>>147997893
cool, guessed as much from the layered icon changes. please fix how upgrade tools are obtained too! this is a large sore point right now. they should be first class quests with tools in (far away) known locations, not randomized contents of randomized stash rewards from randomized quests. add in 3 possible toolsets as random rewards and the odds of you actually finding the basic tools first if you find any tools at all is abysmally small right now.

>>147997893
I just hope it doesn't break weaponsoup

>>147999365
>tools should be proper location-based quests
This, or the game could use a CoP-style "Where can I find tools?" question for regular NPCs, who probably have no fucking idea, unless you get lucky and some NPC happens to know where they *might* be.

>>147998205
they're already in db files, including patches. only files that need to be outside the dbs, a very small number, are in gamedata. it'd be cool if the absolute texture packs were distributed as xpatch files, reinstalling those for every new mod setup is annoying.

>>147999746
weaponsoup will need to tweaked to adapt to the new changes. werejew ignoring fixing it until 1.4 is out is not a bad idea, really.

coc is heading away from all of the base games to make these improvements. any weapon pack that wants to use them will need to be fixed to match. so a future stcop will need quite a bit merging to update the coc version for eg. so it looks anyway

not that this is a bad thing, progress is good

>>147998960
I have, it's not there.

>>148000449
huh, it's no longer there. can't help you anon, i never downloaded it

1.4rc1 tweaks a bunch of items for sleep deprivation, so it's likely that itemsoup will need redoing as part of the final 1.4 release anyway, if that makes you feel better

>>147999705
Oh I see, I downloaded the patch but didn't get the base install first. Apparently there are 6 steps to installing Call of Chernobyl? Or am I still wrong, and that the patch is all I need?

Stupid question, but is there any way to replace the CoC 1.3 main menu with the CoC Leak menu?

>>148001969
base install of 1.2, then patch to 1.3.2, then run cocdater to be sure you're up to date (you should be).

backup your gamedata folder before installing any mods. to revert to base coc, remove any modded gamedata folder, copy back your pure gamedata folder, run cocdater

you can skip backing up gamedata and let cocdater build it back up if you like, it's just that cocdater is slow in how it does per-file requests, so keeping a local copy is nice

>>148000449
itemsoup is not a standalone. It's in the weapon packs folders.

Anyone have the old "remove aim sway" animation for STCoP for CoC? Shit bothers the hell out of me.

>>148002279
As long as the leak menu is only a background texture, it should just be drag and drop.

>>147980828

Giving Magpie to a faction is a requirement because otherwise you don't get enough rep with either to get them to accept the Monolith squad.

Some times, however, you can achieve friendship with either by favoring them in other sidequests and with some luck aiding fighters outside Yanov station to get the needed reputation boost.

>>148010694
Kievan Rus was pretty based to be frank.

I'm creating a quest for a certain mod. It involves an alternate way to get Strider to join your team without you having to suck ass of any faction on Yanov.

It's about giving Strider six Stalker suits, one for him and five for the rest of the team so that they could change clothes and become neutrals. The five survivors will be dwelling in Yanov basement next to player's Stash and Trapper, sitting in a circle and Strider will be leaning on the wall right next to the entrance.

Feedback?

Does AMK work with ZRP?

Also, I'm just a bit curious, what do the post 1.0004 patches actually add? Just minor bug fixes?

Why would anyone even think of siding with Freedom in CoP anyway? The guns you get from siding with Duty are so much better it's not even fair.

>>148011541
Mite be cool. Might want to also have a mission for reprogramming their PDAs and Nitro requesting you to pay a lot for it. Since you're modding Memery, right?

>>148011563
No, nothing of particular interest and IIRC 1.0006 is almost exclusively shit for MP. Don't even think of using AMK on 1.0005.

>>148011685
>Don't even think of using AMK on 1.0005.
Oh I wasn't. Just a bit curious.

>>148011685
>Memery
Only part-time. Focusing on ___Radium___ right now.

The suits themselves would generate enough cost, no need to make the neutral way more costly.

>>148011541

Mite b cool.

>>148011563

ZRP removes a lot of unused function calls to ease up memory use.

If any of AMK's features need those, it will break.

You CAN make AMK work on 1.0005, so in theory you could apply the ZRP on top, but it would require very careful manual merging of a shitload of scripts, and if you are not familiar with the coding, you WILL break it the first mistake you make.

So, short answer, not compatible.

>>148011798
>no need to make the neutral way more costly.
Meh, consider giving them just jackets then. If you played any SoC mod in which stalkers can change outfits you'd know that the PDA is the most important part for IDing someone. Hell you'd know that even if you played vanilla SoC and had the encounter with the "wounded stalker" that was actually a bandit wearing a stalker suit.

>Radium
You mean the mod who's co-author said "I hope it will be shit so that you autistic shitstain will get disappointed"? What would he think if he knew you came here for advice?

>>148012006
Alright. Thanks anon.

>>148012006
Doesn't AMK use some form of ZRP in first place anyway?

Sheeeiiit I forgot about this one, thanks for reminding me tho the thing is it'll evolve into a chain of multiple fetch quests if it keeps going like that. And in CoP the monolith survivors change their faction immediately once they get recruited by Duty or Freedom.

Author, actually. Don't worry, he's just having a bad day once in a while, we've seen worse.

>>148012201
>Varg calling anyone a rooster

>>148012095

No.

AMK was made by the russian modding community based on Bardak's work for 1.0004.

ZRP was made by the english community based on Bardak's work but adapted to 1.0005.

The two diverge in many points past the base provided by Bardak.

Remember that AMK is one of the oldest of the popular SOC mods and has been basically abandoned for YEARS.

ZRP is updated every couple of years.

There are many differences.

Necessary for the AI logic.

And I wouldn't call it "just a bad day one in a while" given the high amount of autistic fits. If he behaves like that here I don't even want to think how he's IRL or with the rest of the team.

>>148012201

Eh, they technically do, as a many of its features were developed by independent modders first, and expanded/polished by the AMK team.

>>148012374
Oh cool then. Maybe I could invoke something like a "Factory Reset" function in a PDA which allows you to set it up from scratch, but there's been no explanation if factions aren't hardcoded into the PDAs so I might as well go with asking a trader or whomever to give you six fresh Stalker faction PDAs.

>>148012471
>there's been no explanation if factions aren't hardcoded into the PDA
Why would they?

How about merging AO3 and STCoPWP?

Having two official weapon addons with almost exactly the same content is just stupid

>>148012795
I'm not >>148012471

But here is how I see it:

Once you join any faction in the zone, I could imagine you "changing faction" from within the PDA, for whatever reason, be flagged as betrayal unless the faction head knows of this (or your faction members). Imagine a bandit changing to "loner" to make his life as robber more easy. Or a Freedom changing to Duty so nearby vicinity Duty members won't feel at danger.

This also introduces another layer of versatility for the faction function to be used in the game, other than a tedious 'representative' one. Suits can already fill this function. I remember iirc REDUX to have varied suits for NPC resulting in bandits wearing stalker suits, stalkers wearing bandit suits, mercs wearing whatever they find etc. etc.

It was both a new layer of chaos as much as it was cool and confusing. Why not emphasize on this feature and have tasks for NPC requesting a "neutral PDA" (who said a NPC cant have 2 PDA for 2 different factions) and have the reward influence your relation to said faction and also have a detractor to the faction not benefitting from doing this quest (example above; Duty / Freedom requesting either PDA of the other faction).

You could even make it a "power balance" idea and have them ask you to kill someone, get their PDA so they can copy their identity for whatever reason.

Man, being an ideas guy is great!

bueno

AI needs to be touched up. like a few anons have pointed out though.

>>148013486

Stop reinventing the wheel.

Just get six stalker suits, six pdas, hand them to Strider, and once they are offline switch the models the way it works for the Ecologists guards and have them occupy a new smart terrain at Yanov.

>>148013976
I'm sorry tk

>>148013486
The betrayal idea is dumb.
>turn off PDA or set it to airplane mode
>hand it over to a mechanic and have him reset the device ID
>set the faction code you want
Whoop de doopity doo. One of our PDA's went dead. Big fucking deal. To make it more interesting you could give high ranking NPCs scanners that check if the ID code of the PDA is in the faction's database.

But yeah I have to agree with >>148013976. This shit is way too complex for single player. Would be neat for MP. If it were a MMO that is.

I'm positive NPCs changing suits is as old as AMK.

As for the rest of the idea, I suggested the "get a PDA from another faction and tap in their news" quest back when the dynamic news mod for CoC was in the works. Instead we got the shitawful dynamic news we have now where you can see what everyone says, and most if not all of the news are about the player anyway.

>>147999817
For even less overhead, it'd be cool if they were packed in the base dbs. And to have a vanilla levels/texture pack for people with toaster ovens.

>>148014141
I was just typing out what came to mind. I'm no modder so I wouldn't know if any of that were possible in SP.

But I do agree. Most of the stuff in dynamic news is either you shooting a weapon or a stalker "finding an artefact" you can later loot of them.
