I've never played any mods for any of the STALKER games, where do I even start?

>>152016054
depends on what game and if you've finished them

I just installed AMK and it freezes in the very beginning about halfway when talking to the trader, I cant seem to find anything online about this. So what do I do?

I have the fix in the gamedata folder for 1.0005

>>152020571
did you do the -no prefetch thing?
I've heard people say it would help.

>>152020615
No, I have no idea what that is. What is it?

>>152020709
I did, it said nothing about that

>>152020615

>I didn't read the readme's


bruh

>>152020770
dunno why he's using 1.0005, but if it works for him then whatever.

>>152020886
I have it on steam, I got it a while ago

>>152021020
IIRC, AMK uses 1.0004 (the versions i've played, at least). but it probably differs depending on the version.

Check the readme's for the mod and see what version it says to use. if the downgrade isn't included there it should be in the OP.

>>152014667
I remember getting this in SoC. It has to do with some setting with the sun/how shadows are drawn. I think it's an r_something value.

Seeing the thread this quiet makes me sad. It feels like STALKER season is just starting; it's raining more, nature is turning towards fall, it's grey, you can finally wear a leather jacket and feel comfy...

>>152022870
yep, can't wait.

if you are referring to the soc/amk shadow bug where you can input
r2_sun_near_border 1
r2_sun_near 20

it's not that, the shadows are fine, but in some areas, it's like there is an overlay on the screen. but there really isnt. fuckin wierd.

i would just blame it on Absolute nature but i swear it had this even before adding AN.

thanks for the input btw

>>152023380
Oh, I think I get what you mean. It's like there's a sort of light greenscreen effect, and the stripes appear under it, static no matter which direction you look?

That sounds like it would be the shaders, but what do I know. I know what you're seeing, though.

>>152023632
yeah pretty much like that, initially i thought it was some screwy textures, but it stayed with the screen when looking away at other stuff (it was most noticeable on dirt/gravel, bricked areas like in the ss i posted.)

either way just irked me, i'm going to try hdao next time i fire it up and see if it still happens.

>>152023380

Which mods are you using? I've actually found that SSAO error on most of the shader packs I tested on my system.

I edited the shaders manually to get rid of it.

>>152064659
>>152064756
well, vanilla CoP has the most polish but SoC has far more stuff to do. it's the trade off.

With mods i think they're pretty even, overall.

I'm a Slav.

Does WeaponSoup have any documentation of any kind? I'm a sad loser who likes to read change logs and also because I suspect the mod does more than add a load of guns.

Hey /sg/,

been oer 4 years since I bought and finished SoC. haven't played another S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game or any mod until this day. But recenly -with autumn at the doorstep - I've been searching for a comfy game to play and found my old copy in the attic.
However, I don't really feel like completing the game again just because I still remember the story pretty well, so I've been looking for overhaul mods. Something that still feels like vanilla, but provides a fresh experience and slight improvements here and there. Currently downloading OGSE, might that be what I am looking for? If not, what would you recommend?

Or should I not bother and just buy the other games and play them?

>inb4 read the sticky

>Something that still feels like vanilla, but provides a fresh experience and slight improvements here and there.

Lost Alpha. It's free. Do yourself a favor and get it. Don't listen to these fucking faggot shitters. Do youself a favor and play the definitive STALKER experience. These bozos are entertained with anything. Just look at them play a fucking shitty map pack with nothing to do.

Trust me. You won't regret it.

Open the combine_1.ps file in shaders/r2, search these lines.

half occ=calc_ssao(P,N,I.tc0);
hdiffuse*=occ;
hspecular*=occ;

There should be two of each in the file (six lines in total).

Delete them.

You should see if those lines are in the other r# folders if you have them.

Kind of a weird question but which areas are Duty prevalent in CoC, excluding the bar?

Which is a spooky mod for any of the games that has a shitload of guns but is actually fun?

>>152091474
>spooky

>guns
Pick at most one.

>>152089907
Call of Pripyat has a fighting radius of 30 and everyone ignores you unless you attach them. It's stupid

>>152091470
they only kill them because the AI cheats and sees through invisibility.
and spot them from thousands of meter away. can't really sneak attack on omniscient NPCs

>>152089563
1.3 iirc

>>152092998
Is there a list of other top-ranked stalkers that I can hunt down and kill?

>>152093336
No

>>152091470
depends on the mod, i guess.

Sometimes bloodsuckers are killing machines, other times one shotgun blast brings them down.

>>152091470
I know it'd end up looking awful considering how most stock animations in this game look, but I really wish Bloodsuckers could actually grab NPCs instead of having to solely depend on claw swipes (which I've noticed the NPCs are absolutely amazing at dodging for whatever reason).

Artifacts are fucking useless
>muh radiation
>muh bleeding
because that's what I want to subject my character to - slow death

>>152094293
Endurance and radiation artifacts are great

>>152094293
Artifacts started losing their luster after SoC, all the cool shit like Wolverine-tier health regeneration, or gravitational fields that deflected bullets started going away in favor of generic anomaly defense boosts and weak physical statistic upgrades.

>>152094985
That's because SoC is the only stalker game.

>>152095297
I can accept this argument, sadly. That said, I can't fathom why most overhaul mods stick with the boring CoP-type artifacts instead of bringing in the old functions, or even making new, crazier ones.

Russians mods seem to be the only ones who ever play with artifacts, but it usually ends up going full autism mode with unbalanced joke nonsense.

>>152095574
the more "creative" mods get with artifacts, they generally get more unbalanced, unfortunately.
CoP has more restrained artifact upgrades, but since they're simple the artifacts are all pretty balanced.

Sometimes we get the best of both, but it's pretty rare.

>>152096043
The problem is that if an artifact is 'useful' then you can just stack 4 of them and become invincible

>>152100976
wut
Artifacts were very useful in SoC but you could never be even close to invincible to anything that actually mattered.

>>152100976
Don't artifacts have diminishing returns? Like stacking two things that gives 50% to whatever only gives 75% total, shit like that?

>>152095574

I ported the COP artifacts into SOC (where the default values are in the tens, unlike in COP).

They are separated in the same tiers as SOCs (health, bleeding, endurance, etc). But like in COP, they trade multiple stacking drawbacks for increased radiation output.

So now you can mix and match both types, to get more benefits and counteract some of the drawbacks of vanilla COP so long as you get good Radiation absorbing artifacts.

>>152101067

You can completely negate anomalies, and make stamina irrelevant.

You CAN'T be invincible in firefights because the stacking of health and bleeding artifacts is not significant compared to the stat drawbacks.

BUT, most mods at the very least double the size of the belt, so yeah, you can totally break the stats system.


Between the two, I prefer the effect of SOC artifacts, they are more interesting (I find the values in CS/COP too nerfed).

>>152039750
>Now that's a big cat!

___________4U________

>>152102392
You can completely negate at most one anomaly type at a time. If a mod gives you a shitmillion slots and doesn't rebalance accordingly, that just means it's a bad mod.

REMOVE OINK

>>152102392
well, CoP artifacts feel nerfed because you can only have a maximum of 5. only a few of the suits let you get to 5 and they need quite a few upgrades for it.

You can use 5 in SoC from the beginning, and many mods increase that.
In SoC you can make stamina or bleeding a non-issue. If you focus artifacts you can also negate certain anomaly damage.

Not sure which method i prefer, really. Artifacts see a lot more use in SoC and there are some more varied options. but artifact effects are much fairer in CoP.

>>152102392
>(I find the values in CS/COP too nerfed)
>a mild doze of caffeine is more effective at energizing a stalker than a stamina boosting artifact worth more than an SVD

why

>>152103062
constant buff vs. temporary buff.

If you had that much energy recovery from the artifact all of the time stamina would be a joke. Lore-wise it's dumb, but gameplay-wise it makes sense.

>>152102632

Every mod is bad mod.

You either get 10+ belts with vanilla artifacts, or you get extremely nerfed artifacts with huge drawbacks and puny tiny five slot belts.

There's no middle ground.

>>152102817
Where'd you even find this mod?

>>152103046

The belt limitations in CS/COP and the generally reduced values (to this day I dunno if they actually do heal less compared to the SOC counterparts or if the values are just nerfed in the UI alone) make me loath the COP method.

That you can stack enough of to negate most anomalies in SOC is one of the most appealing things about artifacts.

Still not sure where I stand on the soc belt, though.

Most increase the size to 16 tops and that means you can fully negate at most two types of anomalies without handicapping you completely in the damage front. Three if you don't care about those red numbers in your stats.

All in all, I feel the artifact system is more useful and logic in SOC's even with bigger belts.

>>152103852
Really? negating anomalies completely is pretty off-putting to me. it also seems kinda unnecessary since you'll be taking physical damage far more often than anomaly damage.
I think the CoP artifacts themselves are powerful enough (though radiation removing ones are way too strong), but the fact that you can equip so few is why it's weaker.

CoP artifacts with some stat penalties and a bigger belt size would be the best system, imo.

i have this for combine_1.ps (it was packed in the coc .db files)

half occ = calc_ssao(P, N, I.tc0, I.tcJ);

hdiffuse *= occ;
hspecular *= occ;

see image (left pane is in r3, right pane is in r2)

in r3 there is no half occ=calc_ssao(P,N,I.tc0);
but rather
float occ = calc_ssao( CS_P(P, N, I.tc0, I.tcJ, I.pos2d, ISAMPLE ) );

I assume i should leave that alone then.

This is my time playing SoC, and I just escaped the sewers of the military compound into the military barracks, which has several soldiers. I have almost no hope of actually beating the soldiers except through save scumming never yet seen, but I prefer it to those god awful tunnels.

How do I enjoy this game? I'm 22 and a huge fucking pussy when it comes to spoopy stuff. Agropom underground was a neverending nightmare, but that fucking lab I have to enter now...dude...

>>152138042
>How do I enjoy this game? I'm 22 and a huge fucking pussy when it comes to spoopy stuff.
I am a pussy too and barely any horror-related game, but there is something in stalker that keeps making me come back again and again despite the scary moments. Not to mention mods that adds to replayability and overall comfyness. It's just more than a "scary fps".
>but that fucking lab I have to enter now...dude...
Protip: lab X18 is somewhat scary, but there is barely anything really dangerous in there except maybe one mutant and that's only if you don't have a decent weapon.

I wish I still had that video I made during my first X18 run, shaking and screming like a little girl, wasting all my ammo into the walls. Unfortunately my old hard drive is kill...

>>152129740

I see r3 has more complex calculations for ambient occlusion, maybe different modes can reduce or eliminate the error.

But if that's not thr case, see if commenting out hdifuse and hspecular in both r2 and r3 works.

See if the game likes that and the error is fixed.

I don't really understand shaders, but of the occ calculations are never applied to the specular and difuse maps, they don't do anything.

If this fixes the error, then you can comment out all the occ calculations to ease up processor usage while loading the shader.

>>152081365
First of, why are you still using an abakan once you reach the Red Forest, get an As Val or pick up the Vintorez at Freedom base

Second, once you reach the Red Forest, that should be the No Going back now kind of thing. If you retreat to the bar after turning of the Brain Scorcher instead of heading straight to the clashes at Pripyat and to the huge battle at the CNPP, you're a colossal faggot

The best way to hype the final moments of the game is to gear up completely, go in, and understand you are not going back.

Using ItemSoup for STCOP

Game was running fine

I modified the values for health and sustenance received from food items (health to zero, and sustenance so it's more in line with the other food items ItemSoup adds) in items.ltx and the game refused to start

I then replaced items.ltx with the original from ItemSoup, and the game is still refusing to start.

If I delete items.ltx the game runs, but it'll crash when I start a new game (for obvious reasons)

What could be causing this?

Why the fuck did AMK:AE turn mutants in bullet sponges? The mod would be perfect if flesh wasn't as tanky as a fucking pseudogiant all I wanted is to just play AMK with better graphics but some tard decided to fuck with the mutants. I dropped a bloodsucker with one shot in AMK 1.4.1 but in AE it took more than two mags.

Wish me luck. I'll report back with my finds.

Replacing the entire thing, and then copy pasting my modified-to-have-no-health-regeneration itemsoup folder back in results in no crash.

Something wacky is going on with items.ltx
I'm going to edit it again and see if it works this time.

>>152167773
i've been playing AE and most of the mutants die fairly quick. I remember using Big Ben on a pseudogiant and killing it in one mag.

Just aim for the mutants' big ass head and you'll do fine.

And I just copy pasted my modified items.ltx from the previous gamedate folder and everything is peachy.

I think it must have had something to do with editing it in the fold- OH SHIT maybe I left the file open in Notepad++ and that screwed things up!

Wait, that doesn't make sense because I'd restarted the computer.

I'm baffled, but at least it's working with my changes now.

Gunslinger got cancelled.

Btw, anyone wants them and is too lazy to make the changes themselves I can upload it.
Same with a binoc.ltx file for STCOP with no enemy detection, though that change is very simple once you find the right line to change.

isn't the whole "europeans having guns" already pretty dumb?

>>152182721
No because stalkers get them from black market to begin with.

>>152182721
East Europeons.
Totally different.

>>152182721
I guess you've never toured europe?

I would like this meme to die.

Handguns are fucking useless just grab smg instead it takes the same slot but is more useful.

>advancing through CoC Limansk worried about ammo
>gunship hasn't appeared yet
>prepare for rape from the construction site
>instead of holding one of the best defensive positions in the game they trickle down two by two as I pick them off from behind a barrel

Anticlimactic, desu

I've tried multiple times to put the viper in my secondary slot in vanilla SoC. Doesn't seem to want to work correctly despite people telling me it should.

What part of FIRST PLAYTROUGH didn't you understand?

>pick up the Vintorez at Freedom base
I hadn't reached the Freedom base yet. That's what I did after doing X16 all over again

> If you retreat to the bar after turning of the Brain Scorcher instead of heading straight to the clashes at Pripyat and to the huge battle at the CNPP, you're a colossal faggot
I ran completely out of ammo at that point, I had to go to my stash to retrieve some ammo and also pick up other weapons

>he read a guide before playing the game for the first time
You are the colossal faggot here for spoiling your game, I went in blind

>>152171085
is it good?

>>152171085
>no single player

no buy

It's shaping up very nicely. According to the gamescom slot they're expecting to have open beta ready by November. Given the current state of the alpha I don't see why they couldn't meet that deadline, it's fine right now.

The weapon modding gives me a raging boner, but the way the preorder packages seemed to give people with deep pockets clear advantages over poor people turned me off immensely.

>>152192685
It won't spawn until you talk to a specific NPC.

>>152193906
Yes, I'm sorry. Here have a realism mod

http://www.moddb.com/mods/realism-mod

Haven't tried it myself but it looks alright

What the hell does the AMK mod does?

>>152194406
It will never fix your English that's for sure

>>152196423
