Keep in mind this is in accordance with the traditional DnD alignments, but here you go:

>A neutral evil character is typically selfish and has no qualms about turning on its allies-of-the-moment, and usually makes allies primarily to further their own goals.
>A neutral evil character has no compunctions about harming others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit for themselves.

In other words, they can be called evil because they harm others purely for their own convenience, nothing more. Thus they fit that position in the chart perfectly.

Yes auto update fucks it a lot, there is also random steam crashes and overlay problems with stability even when disabled with some mods, not to mention some mods only work on older versions.

But you should be fine playing vanilla for now, but once you want to mod, you will run into unnecessary trouble.

SoC > CoP = CS
for me
I see CS as more similar to SoC but shittier in general and with a very very bad end game.
CS somehow feels more empty even with all the patrols moving around, it feels like you are the one doing all the work, instead of being part of it like in SoC, you also never feel threatened because there is friendly fuckers everywhere and you have to go out of your way to make the entire zone hate you.

CoP is more modern and comfy but it gets just too easy and it just feels like you're at a stalker playground where nobody can get hurt because its happy hour, I really like the middle portion of it, problem is I never really feel threatened like in SoC and the labs/underground areas seem very tame in comparison with SoC, the underground road to Pripyat being good but ultimately too generic

I have a few hours (single digit) into it from years ago, but I can barely remember what I was doing or what mods I used

Use something like ZRP instead http://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/

I'll second recommending ZRP.
If you want to go vanilla it is your best option.

If the graphics or gameplay REALLY bothers you that much and for some reason you can't push through it, then go with Complete or some other mod like it, but it won't be the same experience and it sands down certain corners that had a reason to be there in the first place.

I would probably recommend something like the 2015 starter pack over Complete though, as while I don't know what it does, I'm betting it won't mess with the atmosphere and visual style as much as Complete does.

Good hunting Stalker.
>>
>>174342108
>>174342313
Thanks friends

ZRP is just bugfixes, right?
You wouldn't recommend getting any graphics related mods like Absolute Nature or things to improve the shooting?
I'm not sure if there is something like an HD texture pack and whatnot, I wouldn't want to completely change the original's atmosphere

afaik Starter Pack just has ZRP and a bunch of high res textures and skyboxes and so on, but I have no idea if it looks much different from the original in terms of atmosphere

I don't have much time honestly, I would probably play it like this until I reach what feels like an ending

>ZRP is just bugfixes, right?

Yes. There are some things you can pick which do possibly tweak things, but they are off by default and enabl-able via a file that's dropped in the install directory. Stuff like actual accuracy values, or an optional sleeping bag.

>You wouldn't recommend getting any graphics related mods like Absolute Nature or things to improve the shooting?

That's down to you. Honestly, I personally didn't see that much wrong with the default shooting in ShoC so long as you play on any difficulty above normal (if you didn't know, you AND the enemy die faster from bullets on higher difficulties), except for the fact that you can't kill shit that easily early on with shit gear, which is intentional.

>afaik Starter Pack just has ZRP and a bunch of high res textures and skyboxes and so on, but I have no idea if it looks much different from the original in terms of atmos
That doesn't sound that bad.

>I don't have much time honestly, I would probably play it like this until I reach what feels like an ending
Eh, just know STALKER won't hold your hand, and some sections are going to be tough or grating to get through. That's the Zone. ShoC is my second favorite game, but I didn't beat it all in one long week of playing.

Part of what draws us to the game besides the setting, the atmosphere, and the gameplay is having the challenge of survive, prospering, and finding a way to make yourself matter in a setting that cares about the player so little that it could practically run itself without the player even being there.

Just make sure you get past Cordon and Garbage. Don't be a newbie who kills the military thinking that was the direction you were supposed to go and end there.

Roadside Picnic, the book STALKER is inspired from.
Granted, the differences between STALKER and Roadside Picnic are about as great as Star Wars and Star Trek.

Roadside Picnic is a bit more of a story than STALKER and the Zone is considerably scarier and more dangerous. It's straight up un-livable.

ao for com fucks the balance and it's outdated
stcop is updated, balanced and has a lot more guns
>>
>>174362151
STCoP

weapon selection is pretty much the same except for a few meme gun differences and most of them use the same models, but STCoP has much better textures and animations

also STCoP 2.9 has been ported to CoM but not CoC yet, adds some neat new shit and makes some of the sights slightly less horrible

they are still pretty horrible because its stalker but at least all the holo sights and shit actually have illumination now

My game kind of runs bad, my computer is bretty good so I'm wondering if there might be any options I should turn on or off, there are a bunch of sliders so I'm not even sure what the Anti Aliasing is at when I slide it all the way to the right

Living zone just spawns military and mercs at Duty base

In DMM-AE if a monolith got into rostok that meant that he walked from the radars,Army warehouses and finally rostok

When I first started playing SoC, I thought that the bodies you would find stuck in burning barrels was a feature, not a bug. I thought that when an NPC died, his body would get moved into a fire in order to get rid of it and provide something of a hasty funeral. I didn't realize that the NPCs were spawning in the fire and dying.

I got 6700k @ 4ghz, OC 480, and all the rest of the bells and whistles. I got the realistic graphics mod and all the high end mods and was hitting a constant 200fps. The thing is that the game can't handle it and you'll stutter no matter what.

I remember how ghetto it was too.

You would go to the bar on the map and ask the dude for a mission and he would noclip and put an artifact in the middle of the wild territory and come back and say "Ok go get the artifact in Wild Territory".

no need making your hardware pump out all those fps if your monitor cant display it.

i have mine capped at 60 fps, monitor running 62hz. the enginestutters every time it's loading/spawning things. thish is why pushing out your alife switch distance can help alot, but eats up more resources. so that + SSD = minimal stutters.

Taco'n'Banana did run a STALKER roleplay server a couple times, including a few months ago. Both times it died out due to weird cliquishness common in Garry's Mod servers (ie. admins furnishing exosuits and high-end weapons to their friends) and the owner being a mentally ill tranny who would randomly get online do things like and kill everyone with infinite health enabled

> Think there's enough interest to justify the costs of maintaining an English server?

Certainly, there is a base of about 100-150 oldfag STALKER roleplayers who would play it. Right now there's a Garry's Mod STALKER roleplay server which is just 100% vanilla nutscript with some TNB skins and it maxes out at 36/36 players most of the day.

What is it about Call of Chernobyl that eats so many frames? With vanilla DX11 Call of Pripyat on maximum settings I get unchanging 240 FPS, with CoC I get 100-120. It really sucks 'cause I have a 240hz monitor

I noticed it uses ~10% CPU and ~60% GPU (of a 7700k and GTX 1070), pretty odd
>>
>>174418000
don't play on DX11 because it's shit, go 10 or 9 enhanced
>>
>>174418080
DX10 gives the same framerate as DX11, maybe 2-4 more. Even if DX11 was somehow responsible it wouldn't explain why vanilla DX11 CoP does solid 240FPS on maximum settings and DX11 CoC can't even get 120 on minimum

Also I should mention that going from maximum to minimum graphics in Call of Chernobyl isn't improving my framerate at all, it's still at ~100-120, just with ~40% less GPU usage (from ~60% to ~20%). It's almost as if Call of Chernobyl stops trying to render more frames past 100 or so.

Do you think STALKER is gonna get a remake/reboot?

I wouldnt be surprised if another company bought the rights and made a shitty generic FPS with STALKERs name
>>
>>174437217
No it's not. Since STALKER is a cult game making profits out of it can be difficult
>>
>>174437217
Sidorovich won't give out the rights unless it is a ridiculous amount of money, according to his own words.

And no, we won't be seeing a reboot.
>>
>>174437217
If it would happen it wouldn't be via a slav studio. Modern full scale 3D video games take so much money to create that no soviet-block developer can accommodate them.
That's why STALKER 2 shut down mid development, they didn't realize how much money it was going to take.

I'm not sure a western country could do a STALKER game well. The tone of STALKER is accomplished by popular slavic concepts like the futility of life. An American STALKER game would miss the point entirely and have you set out on an ultimately successful mission to destroy the Zone.

The best way is to accept the mission only when they're in a traveling mode that allows the Zone to take them.

If you're in Bar, just shoot them in the ass with a silenced pistol and duck behind a Duty guard.

Well, if you are starting by SoC (wich is recommended), then ZRP is the mod you are gonna need.
>>
So I'm playing SoC vanilla for the first time. I've beaten it numerous times with mods. I'm trying to get the documents from the military outpost in Cordon but when i sneak in nobody in sleeping and there are always two dude watching tv. When I try by force the ak might be able to hit the side of the building at 50 meters. I want to change all vanilla weapon values to CoC AO values to see what happens and if it makes bullets a little less retarded and lethal. What is the quickest way of doing this? I have notepad++ and winmerge but I have no experience with winmerge. I might just change the current ak I have and see what happens. There aren't many values to change in SoC. I know not to change sounds and shit like that.
>>
>>174487263
change
fire_dispersion_base to make the weapon more accurate (lower is more accurate fire)

hit_power = 0.78 ; size of damage by bullet

hit_impulse = 33 ; size of physical impulse by bullet
>>
>>174487904
ah ok. I thought hit power was the stagger factor of a round. I just ended up using a toz and slugs.
>>
I've been playing a lot of CoC lately, but feel like playing something with more structure and a story. What is the current go to mod for SHoC?
>>
>>174489364
it is the amount of impulse a bullet has, which triggers the stagger animation at a certain level.

that's all i really know about that, i usually keep it low though.

AMK is the most go to mod of SoC, you just gotta decide on which version and variant.

LURK 1.05 also a solid choice that doesn't change much, don't go for the latest LURK.

STALKERSOUP is another meme every stalker must try, as there is nothing like killing imaginary pseudogiants with a minigun while carrying 800kgs of hello kitty AKMs and 600 other unsorted items.

Autumn Aurora like LURK, don't change much of the story, its well made, polished and comfy, it does come with an ENB so if you dislike that sort of shit you will have to turn it off.

Then there is ZoA, which every stalker must try at least once before you quit from massive dog infestation and stack traces

so ive had a few copies of CoC saved around my computer, various versions.

recently wanted to explore the zone again and my most recently updated (and also has the auto-updated file?) gamedata doesnt boot.

but one of my very old gamedatas does boot

so ultimately : was CoC updated within the last year or so? furthermore, what are good reasons to be playing the latest CoC? and finally, in order to convert to CoC to the latest version do i just drag drop the udpater file to the host folder?

>>174489569
Do you happen to know what fire point in the ltx files mean? I am playing mostly vanilla except for the fov switcher and a weapon hud mod that changes the weapon onscreen to be a little more out of the way. The description said it changed fire point and I think that might be the problem. I am shooting at military dudes at around 20 meters with 2-3 round burst and they don't even stagger. It's like I'm missing from such a close distance.

fire_point above the

is for aiming flame particles in a 3rd person, so this is what you will see with other npc's shooting weapons.

fire_point = 0,0.216,0.638 ; position (3rd person view) for particles of fire

fire_point2 = 0,0.216,0.730 ; position (3rd person view) for particles of fire (when shooting with secondary fire)

the one in the hud section is for aiming/aligning flame particles in first person (player)

to clarify a bit more, this is because the gun you see NPC's holding are non hud models
wpn_abakan.ogf for example.

while the abakan you see when you're firing it in first person is wpn_abakan_hud.ogf

usually consist of different bones and positions, and weapon sizes
so the coordinates are going to be different as well.

Yeah, I dun goofed. I'm surprised it worked actually.

I was using all the weapon mods so I could swap guns out from corpses until they break. Various music mods, the Girl's Ass in the Bar mod, blue corpses mod, corpses drop cash mod, and traders buying lightly broken weapons mod.

And I still have the bear mod in there even though I never tried it out. Nor the winter mod.

Probably time for a fresh reinstall! Any tips on avoiding: 'Mod it till it breaks?'
>>
>>174499236
>any tips?

yeah don't bother using traders buying lightly broken weapons mod

all it is is one change in each trader file. using it with item soup for example will overwrite most of item soups trader files and then your traders will not sell the items they are supposed to.

all you need to do is change this line at the top of each trader file
buy_item_condition_factor = 0.7
to
buy_item_condition_factor = 0..4 or whatever you want.
0.4 means they will buy weapons at 40% condition or better

>I was using all the weapon mods so I could swap guns out from corpses until they break
what? i hope you dont mean all the weapon packs.

>the Girl's Ass in the Bar mod, blue corpses mod, corpses drop cash mod,

Dude, SoC can be scary as fuck. I did the first lab earlier today and was going slow as fuck through it. When I got done I realized that there were only four enemies that I had to kill. Then I'm doing the one to shut off the brain schorcher, I think, and I'm literally shaking while trying to shoot snorks and zombies. The sound effects are fucking relentless. It's over loading my senses. All the creaking and groaning and god damn monster growls. I died around the third switch and I don't even want to start playing again.

Guys it's been ages since I last played SoC and CS. I never finished either, but I now have the games on steam and want to finish them. Unfortunately I want to mod and even after looking at them I have no idea where to begin. AMK looks interesting since blowouts and sleep are cool, but I'm curious if other mods are recommended.

Also is there anything that fixes the weirdly placed sound effects for animals that makes me think I have a dog up my arse all the time, and any recommendations for a less spooky soundtrack?

I know it's part of the experience, but fuck me I'm permanently on edge as it is without the music making me think my soul is at stake as well as my mortal flesh. I quietly put SoC down last time just before reaching the Red Forest because I just couldn't cope with the rumours I'd heard.
>>
>>174512852
Personally I've not found an SoC mod more fun than straight up AMK with magazines mod.

Magazines mod on its own is ridiculously fun for some reason, there is something very atmospheric able loading magazines as you walk through the Zone.
>>
>>174513032
Alright, I might try it out then. Also, do people find CS more forgiving than SoC? I can't recall if it really was gentler or if that's just because I played it after SoC.

I just got to the garbage and barely managed to fight off the bandit attack that your buddy Bes ropes you into
Then I walk away feeling accomplished and there's more fucking bandits next to the road
I run away from those, a shit ton more bandits in the big factory thing where you are supposed to meet the dude

What am I doing wrong? I have barely any (read: basically none) ammunition for MP5 or AK and like 10 shotgun shells
My 200 pistol shit ammo don't hurt the bandits at all, and they can murder me like it's nothing

Beating back 10 bandits with the shit pistol Wolf gives you when you first meet him seems like bullshit, I AM missing something, right?
Please help

>>174524746
I did try like five times before I beat back the bandits at the vehicle scrapyard
And I spend all the non-pistol ammo (like 20 shots for both AK and MP5 and 5 shotgun shootings) doing that

>>174524781
That seems like cheating to be quite honest

>>174524960
There is nothing to scavenge outside of dead bandits that I have to kill first, I'm spending more valuable ammo killing them and only get back shit pistol ammo
I was told that shooting would be shit at the beginning, but do I have to use this garbage pistol throughout the whole game? That doesn't seem fun
And I do have a stash full of guns, just no ammunition to use them with

>>174525692
Where should I be finding all that ammo?
I searched places in the beginning expecting to find stuff but it's all empty, the sawmill from the very beginning for example, you shoot the bandits, loot their corpses and there is not a single thing to find in the whole building complex
All the crates I stabbed throughout the game so far (except one with a quest relevant artifact) were empty

The only spots where there seems to be stuff is on marked stash spots on the map
And even in those loot apparently only appears after I've unlocked the map marker, I started over earlier and went to a spot where there was a stash last time and it was empty

And of course I don't have to follow the missions, it's just that in the garbage there is a road where I won't die from radiation and on that road there's loads of bandits, and running away from them triggers a distress call from some Stalker that gives me hints about Strelock

You're doing it right bud, you're at where the game is most fun. I envy you.

>>174525472
You have plenty of choices open to you now, but your arsenal is only going to rapidly expand as you continue to play and go to new areas with more experienced enemies.
The shitty guns are fun, the enemies soak up a lot of 9mm rounds (I think in a lot of mods pistols feel a bit more effective though) but you can just headshot them if you want to make your life easier.

Better ammo is just scarce in the game until you get out of the garbage and start going up against enemies that actually use the guns you want ammo for.
After you've played for a while you'll be complaining you've got too many resources and the game is too easy, that's when you go back to shitty guns.

there's all sorts of hidden stuff

I did do the unload thing, I'll probably travel back to Sidorovich, there's a couple quests I can turn in

the beginning of the game is one of the hardest for new players. A combination of well-armed enemies and shitty guns + armor make for a hard time. You fight military soon so you'll be swimming in rifles and ammo. As soon as you reach the bar you'll get a free new suit and will be able to sell all your shit.

so I looked into the development process of CoC and learned a couple things. the team is comprised of these dudes who I assume are all Russian: https://bitbucket.org/teamepicstalker/

none of them have any contact info. there is an old forum called EpicStalker which appears to be dead.

the main repo for CoC is here: https://bitbucket.org/revo_lucas/call-of-chernobyl and it still gets commits, the latest being 2 days ago. there is no license information. there's another project page with the official addons: https://bitbucket.org/Darryl123/call-of-chernobyl-official-addons

it looks like CoC is basically a bunch of LUA scripts, which I guess would be coupled with Open XRay 1.6 available here https://github.com/OpenXRay/xray-16 and packaged into the installer you can find on moddb.

there is no license, which usually means that the code is copyrighted by default, but given that probably most of it is actually from GSC itself, it's probably protected by Open XRay's license, which only prohibits commercial use.

I am 95% sure that I could fork CoC and start doing whatever I want with it. the most obvious advantage I can think of is to keep the engine and script packages separate, allowing for XRay engine fixes to be released faster than CoC's slow release cycle.

this weekend, if I have any spare time, I'll try to build and run CoC from source, as well as contact the devs directly. if all goes well and the CoC devs are cool with it, I might mirror everything on github and possibly work on some bug fixes and gameplay features as a pet project. at least, for as long as I can be fucked.

I'll keep y'all posted if anybody gives a shit.

probably 30 minutes at the most if you want to optimize and make sure nobody dies
be sure to pack a shotgun and scoped rifle for the tunnel portion. take a lot of ammo and medical shit for when you get into pripyat proper. you won't be able to travel back to zaton and yanov for a while.

Actually, it's difficult to just say that, game length is such a nebulous thing now and everything is so different, plus games are such a mix of genres now.
I guess there's not much point talking about the length of games because it's pretty subjective plus people have such different experiences.

>>174580438
Interesting thought. On one hand, these days we see that campaign length of a lot of games have been shortening for a long time, on the other hand we are also seeing a lot of games' length be artificially lengthened with stuff like unnecessary open worlds, poorly implemented 'emergent game play' and lots of ultimately pointless busywork under the guise of side quests that are just quickly and cheaply made without much thought.

I also wonder if a game like STALKER would even be released today. It could be very different, perhaps a game stuck in Early Access hell or more similar to Metro.

>>174580531
I think the vast majority of people here are into STALKER for all that stuff between the main quests.

>>174583434
Fallout (obviously referring to the modern ones) is a game where you shoot stuff from a first person perspective, note your weapon in the bottom right corner of the screen; traditional of the genre.
It takes place in an open world where you are free to roam where you want.

STALKER itself has plenty of RPG elements.


OK, I'm not having a go at you or even disagreeing, but it's not so easy these days to describe a game in such simple terms. Genre names are not very helpful anymore, and are really only useful when speaking in very broad terms.

bought the games just now and will be installing them tomorrow, starting in order of release date. is there a way to set the voice acting to only the original language? i don't know a lick of it, but i'd be a lot more immersed if it were that instead of english. despite this, it'd really help if there were subtitles for such a feature so i could actually understand what the fuck everyone's saying
>>
>>174642775
even if you play it as is a ton of characters in the world speak Ukrainian anyway
but definitely the main story voices would be in english

majority of text in the game isn't voice acted so I doubt it'd matter much

What's happening with the rest of the world in Stalker?
>>
>>174670362
Some real crazy yet top secret medicinal advances, I guess. I wonder who buys the artifacts from the zone, anyway.
I guess people would also be pretty fucking curious about what goes on in there. Hell, if stalkers can get in there so easily, and there are mentions of tourists, there probably have been journalists and shit fucking around Cordon, looking for some nice footage.

different anon here, I won't have the time to read a book this week, could you give me a rundown? I read what it's about, it sounds exactly like stalker but with more Zones
>>
>>174568734
Why are they the best?
>>
>>174674138
You should check it out when you have time.
It's been a long time since I've read it so I couldn't give you a good run down. I don't think it goes into great detail but I remember scenes talking about some of the applications and what effects some artifacts had in the world. Some of it was reminiscent of the stuff Sid mentions on some occasions when you do missions for him, like people form high society buying them from the black market.
Yeah sorry I can't really help you out.

Another interesting point, not sure if you are aware, but the Zone is portrayed in quite a different way in Roadside Picnic and the Stalker film than in the games. The games have it full of people so you've got stuff to do and shoot, to make it fun, but in other media the Zone itself is much more dangerous and much more desolate (there isn't factions milling about with AKs and living there), they're a lot more philosophical and 'psychological' about it, stuff that doesn't work so well in games. Like they talk about how the Zone appears sentient in the film, and a Stalker is more like a professional guide to the Zone.

I hope I got most of this right.
>>
>>174676831
I'm def going to order this from amazon soon

I am not a fan of clear sky at the moment. Swamp is ok even though the game give you a pistol and shotgun in such a large flat area. Cordon had some tasks in it but nothing too interesting. Garbage had one task to meet up with a dude who liked to push you off the rock while shooting dogs. Then onto dark valley. Am I missing something here or does faction wars take over most of the places? I've been collecting various stashes and a couple side quests but I don't feel like I'm really doing shit.
>>
>>174670362
Not that much seems to be all that different. The zone is relatively small and isolated enough that it doesn't seem to be a huge factor in world politics. The artifacts probably have some interesting shit, but I don't know how they'd work outside the Zone compared to in it.

The fact that there was an illuminati-style sect within the Soviet regime speaks volumes, though. Might be a lot behind the surface, despite the same essential world.
