Finally got back into CoC again after a several month break, and I've confirmed that exclusively playing ironmeme for a while has made non-ironmeme completely unplayable and boring by comparison. I wish this wasn't the case, since getting killed on level transitions and shit is awful, but ironmeme still gets my blood pumping like crazy.

I started playing CoP again using Absolute Nature 3 lite and Absolute Structures. Then I tried to add OWR3 to ge better weapon models but as soon as an emission ends, bandits turn hostile. I assume this is a bug with OWR3 since it they did not behave like his before.
Is there a fix for that ? Is it a common bug ?

>>182236360
Kill them all

>>182236360
OWR3 changes bandits to be always hostile to you. It's one of those changes that is actually a pretty bad idea due to the nature of 'safe' hubs in CoP because inevitably things bug out and you walk into Skadovsk at some point to get a faceful of buckshot from a bandit in kill mode at the doorway.

Just delete the squad_descr.ltx that came with OWR3.

>>182237123
>le epin vanilla+ mod
>actually makes retarded obtrusive changes
OWR is a meme.

>>182237654
Not only that, it also makes some fairly drastic changes to weapon damage and NPC accuracy as well as completely unnecessary changes to some weapon upgrade trees.

At least OWR for SoC is legitimately a vanilla+ mod that leaves them pretty much identical to the vanilla stats.

>>182237123
>>182237654
thanks I figured it out already. So is there any other change beside that ? I think I have a 45 mag on the aksu74 instead of a 40 after upgrade.

>>182237937
So?

>>182237883
Are they made by the same person?

>>182237883
>>182237937
Ok then, into the trash it goes. Fucking devs do not even mention these changes.
>>182237954
So I just want to play vanilla, if they start changing gameplay values that's not for me.

>>182238028
That's pretty much where I got to with OWR3 as well and now I just use vanilla weapons again when I want to play vanilla or vanilla+ CoP. The weapons look okay and it doesn't suffer from the quality control issues of stuff like AO3 or StCoP but the entire package makes so many changes that I would have to work to reverse/heavily tweak that it isn't even worth bothering with.

>>182238239
Yes I was just checking the files, I might try deleting all files but textures and see what happens.

>>182238028
>if they start changing gameplay values that's not for me
Strange to find someone who thinks the arbitrary values the developers settled on, especially for a game that was heavily rushed out the door like CoP, are sacrosanct, even when they make for objectively bad gameplay.

>>182238330
But I am used to vanilla gameplay.

>>182238443
Then you have shit taste

>>182238330
What exactly is so objectively bad about CoP gameplay in regards to how the weapons are configured? They're far from perfect but at least they're tolerable compared to what you were getting in SoC or CS.

>>182238596
They're the fucking basically same

>>182238465
>>182238626
Why are you angry ?

>>182238695
I'm not angry

>>182238443
All the more reason to spice it up. Being "used" to a game where nothing can surprise you anymore is awful.
>>182238596
>What exactly is so objectively bad about CoP gameplay in regards to how the weapons are configured?
Still follows the half-assed RPG weapon progression where "low-tier" weapons are unrealistically inaccurate, enemies are hilariously damage spongy with beyond shit-tier mechanics like time_to_aim that is one of the dumbest fucking mechanics ever put in a first person shooter.
>They're far from perfect but at least they're tolerable compared to what you were getting in SoC or CS
SoC and CS have awful gunplay in Vanilla too, and since mods really do fix it, this is the equivalent of sticking with a vanilla bethesda game because you're "used to it" instead of fixing all of the issues with mods. You admit you're settling for mediocrity when you don't have to.

>>182238465
>>182238626
At least explain where he went wrong, and THEN tell him to fuck off/kill himself. Just jumping right into the latter is boring.

>>182239857
Explaining it is even more boring

>>182239857
How does 'time_to_aim' even work anyway?

>>182239857
Alright I may try it for a bit !

>>182240589
I'm not an expert but, each weapon has different time_to_aim which is usually a few seconds or less. If you hit someone in the head (same exact bone x-ray thingy), and then again in that time, you'll do less damage.

>>182240786
Lul I accidentally posted hit probability while searching if I have any time_to_aim pastas.

>>182240786
This page claims it's just the speed at which the player can zoom in.

http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Call_of_Pripyat_Weapon_Creation

>>182241238
Yeah sure believe everything they tell you on the internet.

>>182241238
Also do you seriously think any gun takes 2 seconds to aim down the sights? Even gauss is like 1.5 at most. They took the LR-300 as base which definitely doesn't take 2 seconds to aim.

>>182241825
>>182241945
Is there much in the way of correct documentation on these things somewhere then?

>>182242634
None, welcome to stalker modding

>>182240589
When you hit an enemies "bone" (hitbox), every shot after that for the duration of time_to_aim in seconds gives you MASSIVELY reduced damage (like a ~75% reduction) to that same hitbox.
>>182240786
Yep, that.
>>182241238
Nope, not at all. You can easily test this with any mod that allows you to toggle NPC health bars like ZRP or CoC.
>>182242634
Yep. It's in one of the links of the unfucked OP that was posted earlier.

>>182243873
Okay, that common misconceptions list cleared a lot of things up. So I guess I should just set every time_to_aim entry to 0 or remove it entirely to tidy up that bad mechanic then?

>>182244176
Definitely, it makes F/A not a complete waste of ammo, and makes the combat feel moderately less awful.

>>182244807
Of course you're removing the upgrades with it right? And maybe increase the recoil a bit.

>>182245573
What the fuck are you talking about you faggot

>>182245573
Literally the equivalent of taking a broken, barely functional car, throwing on a new set of tires, and then taking a sledgehammer to the engine to compensate for the new tires.
