STALKER General.
SoC Starter Pack:
http://jumbofiles.com/puemst2zx800
CS Starter Pack:
http://jumbofiles.com/lh6uylrnq5qs
CoP Starter Pack:
http://jumbofiles.com/whrkhqqfmo1u
-Start with SoC (of course!). Try without big mods first! Look for mods later. Proper play order is SoC > (CS) > CoP.
-ZRP (Zone Reclamation Project) is a fine mod for 1st timers, as it does not change gameplay or graphics, only fixes errors in the game.
-For Clear Sky there’s SRP (Sky Reclamation Project). Both ZRP and SRP can be found in Starter Packs!
-AMK 1.4 for challenge, atmosphere and more content. LURK for total overhaul. ZoA if you found even AMK too easy!
-Play on a high difficulty. Master is the best. Improves AI and gun-damage, to both ways.
-Disable crosshair. Trust me, you don’t need it, you don’t want to hip-fire unless targets are just a few meters away from you.
-Check your other Options and key-bindings! Read the Manual! These can teach you more than you’d imagine.
-In the beginning, choose to get "Brainwashed", this gives you a short tutorial.
-Read your in-game PDA often!
-In fights, always use cover. Stay low. Aim with your weapons. Set automatic guns to semi- or burst-mode for more accuracy.
-Aim for the head. From long distance aim to center mass.
-Select your ammo-type according the enemy. AP-rounds against most humans, regular ammo against mutants or less armored personnel.
-Don’t hoard too much stuff with you. Vodka and food weight a ton, so don’t have too much with you. Only loot what you need, or what you can sell quickly for some nice cash. Drop extra stuff to some stash to wait your return.
-Explore! You may find tons of free items, alternative routes and interesting things. Just remember to save often!

>Using mods
To use mods with STALKER, you will first need to edit your fsgame.ltx -file found under the game’s install dir. Open this file with a text editor like Notepad, and find the following line:
$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
Change the false to true, i.e.:
$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
After this you just copy the mod’s gamedata-folder in your game’s install dir.
To patch your mod or to add new ones on top, keep "overwriting" (=merging) the folder.
>Stretching shadows in the borders
This is a common bug with widescreen monitors, where the shadows of the terrain get "sucked" into the borders of your screen. It can be easily fixed by opening your console while in game, and typing these two lines in:
r2_sun_near 20.
r2_sun_near_border 1.
>Head bobbing
Some people find the head-movement in Stalker SoC a bit annoying. True, it is a bit over-done with default settings. Before tweaking it though, I’d suggest editing the FOV with the FOV Switcher. Something ~75 is much better for widescreens than the default 55, and helps to reduce the sickening effect for.
The cam_inert 0.1 console-command helps you to reduce the "floaty" effect of the camera, helping you to reduce the bobbing. It also fixes the AMK’s "spinning" effect when shot.
ZRP mod has it’s own modifier.exe in the Gamedata, which you can use to edit many parameters of the game. From here you can choose either one of the 3 pre-set headbobbing settings, or edit the values manually. I’d recommend 50-75% reduction, but not total removal of the shake effect.
if you don’t use ZRP, look for Effectors.ltx in your gamedata.

>Short MC
in vanilla SoC / ZRP the player’s eye-level is too low compared to other humans by default . You can edit this with ZRP’s modifier again, in the Actor.ltx -tab. Rise it from default 0.85 to 0.94
Most overhaul mods do fix the player’s height by default.
>measuring FPS
You can see fps-counter and other stats by typing this to console:
rs_stats 1
>Performance tips:
The in-game AA slider DOES NOT WORK in SoC. You gotta force AA on through GPU’s control panel. Avoid anything above 2x for minimal performance hit!
In CS and CoP, if you use ENHANCED FULL DYNAMIC -mode, set its three specific settings (SSAO, Sun Quality, Sun-shafts) to LOW. You won’t notice quality difference, but your performance will skyrocket!
Another easy way to improve visuals and reduce random stuttering is to lower Vision- and Lighting distance, plus Object-Quality bar to around 50%. Again quality difference is minimal, but fps improves.
Reducing the Grass Density a point or two also may help stuttering outdoors.

What are your general thoughts about LURK?
I’ve played SoC since it was released and when it was patched to where it is now. And getting a little bored and stopped playing 2 years a go.
Since its an Overhaul I might try it out if you guys recommend it.

These are the links for the AMK mod gathered from previous STALKER threads. Some of them might indeed be dead.
http://www.mediafire.com/?8wm243dsc0dlwm7
First run Amk 1.4 setup, then AMK EN patch final.
Next paste the gamedata folder of the 1.0005 fix into the stalker folder, if needed.
Install AMK Retranslated last.
If you’re playing on Steam / 1.0005 patch, you also need to do couple manual tweaks:
-First, locate a file called "xrs_grenade.script" in the gamedata/scripts, and delete it.
-Next, you need to add a sound-file names "groza_silenced.ogg" into gamedata/sounds/weapons. Either rip it from any other mod, or simply copy ANY soundfile and rename it.
You can use same graphical mods found in STARTER PACK with AMK. In case of SWO2.2, remember to apply its own AMK-patch last, or your game will crash!
[#FDL] = Full Dynamic Lighting, [#SL] = Static Lighting.
AMK COMPLETE PACKAGE
AMK-Complete
Includes:
AMK 1.4
AMK 2.0.94 Patch
AMK 1.0005 compatibility patch
AMK Setting Hot Swapper
AMK Retranslated
AMK Arsenal V1 with Patches through V1.31
Absolute Textures (both)
Complete 2009 (just the files required for AMK-Complete)
LURK Animations for AMK
Minimal HUD for AMK
ShadersMAX 1.06 (A newer version than what is in the starter pack)

And now, for everyone’s enjoyment the ‘Why Complete 2009 sucks copypasta’
- All weapons have their accuracy increased 10-20%
- All damage decreased by few percents.
- Weight limit increased by 10kg, maximum being 70kg. In vanilla the Exo-suit enabled up to 80kg!
- Limits NPC’s eye sight distance so they can’t spot you from beyond ~100 meters. =You see them always first. Said to remove enemies skill to spot you from"unrealistic distances".
- Sound radius of knife and other critical sounds such as falling dead bodies, grass, and footsteps greatly reduced
- Reduced the sound distance of death cries
- Repair Kit – A special item to the game that allows you to repair weapons and armors out in the Zone. Can be purchased or found.
- The bar trader and Screw now sell weapons and armor repair services. (Not all bad)
- Elite Nightvision – Black & white night vision based on the psy_antenna postprocess effect. Replaces the original UV-based blue NV, and lets you see perfectly in the darkness, be there light sources or not.
- The old, âgreenâ night vision has much less noise and blur. NVs don’t emit any audio noise anymore (=can’t be heard by NPCs/mutants).
- scientific suits with 90% rad protection now feature an anti-rad injection system.
- bandages auto-apply at 10% health.
- enabled a tracer effect for armor-piercing bullets, making them visually distinguishable when use
- allows looting cash from bodies (CS & CoP only)
- You can BRIBE hostile factions to leave you alone.
They advertise Complete as "vanilla experience", as "only bugfixing visual overhaul". In reality they change the gameplay shittons, usually only making the experience EASIER than vanilla game. Their bug-fixing reputation is also overrated, Complete09 only uses older beta-version of ZRP as its base, and CS & CoP versions tend to add MORE bugs and annoyances.

I don’t really remember people recommending Complete anymore since late-2009. People found out that it did so much more to the gameplay than it originally claimed to. It’s no wonder some people felt cheated after learning the truth, there was even a thread on /v/ posted by a fresh rookie, who was ready to bash all the "HC difficult game" claims about Stalker, until he learned that half of the seemingly low difficulty was indeed because of the Complete 09-mod he used. He switched to AMK1.4 instantly after that, no matter that people recommended patched vanilla / Starter packs first.

It’s quite understandable, even though unfortunate and very outdated information they’re spreading. There’s literally a whole generation of STALKER players who refused to play the sequels before a version of Complete-mods were released for them.
Pretty sure none of the said people have even heard of any other SoC mod than LURK either.

relax man.
If you happen to come across a recent discussion about the matter anywhere on the net, all you really need to do is to mention it being an outdated and badly optimized mod, followed by the recommendations of the various modern options there is.
It’s still nowhere near as bad as the few cases where people recommend Oblivion Lost for the newcomers, repeating the same old "vanilla’s buggy, ugly and boring POS, get mods!!!" like some ancient mantra.

I guess if you’re happy with it there’s no problem ; just as long as you’re not misinformed about what the mod changes and are fine by it.
>there was even a thread on /v/ posted by a fresh rookie, who was ready to bash all the "HC difficult game" claims about Stalker
The "Bah gawd X-TREEM dfficulty!"- that the games are many times touted to have is oftentimes overhyping it, though. Part of this is because the difference between the various mods is so large and the FORM of difficulty changes between mods as well as the level of difficulty. Some have been playing so much AMK / Soup that they have a totally different view on STALKER than someone who’s been playing LURK. It also complicates things when the games are lumped together and people simply talk about STALKER, not even bothering to separate the different games.

>you’ve been around, what mod is best in terms of difficulty?
What kind of difficulty and the style of the mod and for what game ? Here’s some suggestions for SoC :
LURK (1.05 if you want to avoid jellyscreen and bloom, 1.1 if you’re okay with bloom and jelly)
+Enemies are more accurate
+Combat is noticeably deadlier (to accommodate the mod’s "stealth" approach"
+/- ~30kg carry limit (sort of frustrating because lol,no +carry cap upgrades like CS and CoP)
+/- Artifacts are reduced to a source of cash only (kind of takes away a major game element)
- No blowouts
- IIRC no sleeping bag
- Unrealistically ridiculous recoil on weapons
LURK is more hard in a traditional FPS kind of way : the shootouts are more difficult but the A-Life itself isn’t much more varied than vanilla.

different poster but old-time Stalker here, your question really doesn’t tell what kind of mod you’re exactly looking for; a major overhaul that changes all aspects of the game in order to make it more difficult, or something like "vanilla+" that still feels like the original game – just is a bit more merciless ?
In case of the latter, AMK1.4 is my favorite. See the guide pic at >>5608906
, and the copypasta with easier to copy links at >>5608965
. It does include a sleep mechanism though, but it’s not only to allow players to skip time: you actually need to sleep now as well, and being too energized makes you unable to sleep for a while.

AMK 1.41
+More varied A-Life (NPCs have more actions and the Zone is generally more alive)
+ Harder mutants, even those that can be considered mini-bosses to an extent can appear in almost any level
+Restores cut mutants, some of which are a huge pain in the ass
+Sleeping bag!
+Moving anomalies. Keeps you on your toes and is generally fatal for any escortees you might bump into on your travels.
+ Controllers can now zombify stalkers like in the lore
+/- Artifact transmutation. It adds depth to the game but the result can be somewhat unbalanced uber-artifacts, provided that you can get a recipe and the artifacts needed for it, though.
+/- NPCs can nig stuff from your stashes. This kind of divides the playerbase as some consider it more "realistic" and something that decreases the feel that the lone stalkers are too much of a hugbox for the player and some who get frustrated that their stuff gets stolen unless they can nail down the locations where it’s secure
+/- Military can call in Helis / BTRs. Some get extremely annoyed about them, for others it’s a good challenge.
- If you select to make the mutants tougher, they can become annoying bullet-sponges
AMK and it’s descendant mods generally make the game harder in the sense that it makes the encounters more unpredictable and the Zone a bit harsher. Generally considered the defining modded SoC experience.

I’ll try and think of more things, but hopefully that gives you an idea. Thanks for helpin. Here’s a picture for your time.

It’s one of those crazy russian megamods that aims to include everything under the Sun. It’s one of those mods where you will wonder if the mod team has been on shrooms when making it and you can’t decide if that’s a good or a bad thing.
It’s definitely difficult and has a lot of content but it’s also unstable and badly translated. It also has fairly long loading times (can be minutes, actually).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ynt0Bm_weM
OCedMyToaster here has put together a playthrough of it so I’d recommend watching it before you go ahead and download 12GB worth of content before realizing that the mod isn’t actually what you wanted.

In all the games I’ve tried eat/sleep mechanics, I find myself getting irritated by the slow pace of things. I’ll be travelling, doing a quest when suddenly I have to stop, which breaks my focus. Bothersome. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

if jacket, well, search in the area, you have everything jacket-class, in the farm with a corpse, in the corner with the boxes there’s a bandit jacket
if Stalker suit, well, if you want to keep it you’ll have to buy a new one, but you’ll find replacements in following areas
As a general rule, you can find a suit adapted to the area if you search well.

AMK sounds like your thing in general, as it doesn’t completely overhaul the game upside down. You can get the first rifle as soon as you dare to go and blast some military jerks to the face, just like in vanilla.
>I hate sleep and eat mechanics, ruins the immersion for me. Bullet sponges piss me off as well – combat should be quick and deadly.
Hating sleep & eating mechanism sounds kinda interesting concept for someone looking for immersion and survival though, especially when both are lethal requirements in many mods, like AMK.
The battles are much more deadly in AMK 1.4 though, bullets hurt a lot, may cause your view to swing, even make you drop your weapon! One-shot kills are more common in the mod as well, both ways. You really want to hit the dirt and have something solid and thick between you and the attackers this time around.
There’s also various addons for AMK, like the LURK ARMs and Minimalistic HUD, that make it even more atmospheric survival experience.
The other choice would be the LURK, 1.05x or 1.1, depending on your preferences. 1.1 gets quite a lot flak around here because bloom + blur + jelly screens, plus few unnecessary sounding gameplay cuts.
>How is AMK Arsenal? Are there still bugs with pistols and shit that I’ve heard about?
Yes, stay away from it.
If you want more shooters and AMK-like experience, get ZoA.

You can get TWO STALKER-suits for absolutely free from the areas after Garbage, other is even given to you by Barkeep if you complete the tasks at Agroprom before meeting him.
But yeah, if you’ve ruined it and it was your ONLY suit, you gotta start exploring for replacement, or just buy a new one.

In regular S.T.A.L.K.E.R food is mostly just a heavy health-item that can’t be bound to quick keys (except in CoP). The sleep mechanic is likewise usually non-essential outside specific mods : it lets you pass time to skip to morning / evening if you want / don’t want to travel in the night.

For rookies that are having trouble with the car park :
If you follow the railroad tracks from the bridge next to the railway tunnel there’s a train. Jump on it and you’ll find a sawn-off shotgun that can be of good help clearing out the bandits. Watch out for radiation though!

One of the most desired wishes I have is for someone to make a mod that adds to the latest version of Atmosfear, where when a blowout occurs, Ron Paul’s face dimly appears in the sky, and this:
starts to play. If you get killed by the blowout, instead of the usual "You have died" or "Lost to the Zone" prompt, it’s "You could have stopped it…" or something similar

I think he was a part of a mission that got cut out of the game.. Regardless, I felt kind of bad about killing him, but also wondered why’d Barkeep want this guy dead. Maybe his commander put a hit on him after he deserted ?

You don’t even need to replace anything necessarily.
Just delete specific textures or entire texture-folders of your choice, and the game will automatically load the vanilla visuals for the missing files.
Alternatively you could install the Abs.Nature & Structures on top of the ZoA. Same thing with Shaders Max; I remember ZoA having some custom shader-effects as well, which could explain the stuttering.
And if all else fails, just drop game’s settings manually from Options.

I only found the train by accident on my first playthrough. I haven’t seen it ever again.

Reason I’m cautious about just deleting folders is that I don’t want to remove anything unique to the mod, and the files aren’t sorted quite as neatly as some other games.
I tried lowering texture quality briefly, but that seems to interfere with new content – the news icons were showing up black.
I am going to try removing SSAO and DoF now that I found the settings file before replacing textures, at any rate. I’m not actually running out of memory and I had no problems with other graphic mods for SoC. I suppose I could put up with the massive loading times so long as I get rid of the stuttering.

Make sure that the data pre-fetching is still disabled. That speeds up loading times a ton. Even then, you better get used to >1 minute long initial loading times with Stalker mods; usually reloading saves happen much quicker afterwards though.
And yeah, SSAO and motionblur are framerate killers, DOF not so much if it’s static.

Sorry, mis-checked your referred post.
It’s an old as hell ZoA screenshot, grabbed it some time last year I believe. Dunno if it’s with default settings or somebody’s mixture.
I do spot minimalistic HUD / disabled HUD though, the first one is quite commonly used with ZoA.

Fellow stalkers, I have a dilemna. SVU or Sniper AS-VAL? I haven’t used the VAL for long but it ended up being awesome. However the SVU packs more punch, is more accurate and more reliable. And despite being heavier, its rouds are lighter. I’m currently using the standard SIG-550 and the Big Ben. Which which sniper rifle should I get? What kind of ammo is more common in the red forrest and beyond?

Which game?
My pic would still be AS-VAL, or VSS Vintorez.
9×39 ammo is generally more common, the guns themselves are silent, and you can go full-auto in tight spots when needed.

Yeah, tank.
SVU is better for pure sniping. VAL is decent for sniping at mid range or going full auto and ripping shit up. I prefer VAL just cause it’s silenced which can come in really handy.

SoC. I’m using the sniper VAL mainly because it’s A LOT more reliable then the Vintorez. And I’ll only use it for sniping, since I’ve got the SIG-550 and the Big Ben for CQC. Also I can put a silencer and a scope on my SIG for mid range sniping.

that’s some very heavy gear you got there. I would’ve settled down with 1 rifle + plenty of ammo, but it’s good to be prepared as well.
But yeah, in AMK the 9×39 weapons rape EVERYTHING. I tried to be different on my previous playthrough of the mod and go with pic-related gear. I soon dropped pretty much everything else and looted Groza, just to keep up with the pace.

>What kind of ammo is more common in the red forrest and beyond?
9×39 since even though it’s rare for assault rifle caliber, it’s still way more prevalent than 7.62x54R which is hardly ever sold by anyone and carried only by a select few pre-placed snipers.
In Clear Sky and CoP the 7.62x54r and the weapons associated with it are a bit more prevalent.

Not him, but I’ve been playing AMK recently and loving it. Only thing that gets annoying is invisible anomalies. They’re fine when you’re traveling since you can throw bolts, but I keep getting instances where I’m in a firefight, strafe a meter and die instantly cause of an anomaly.

Also It’s too bad shotgun ammo almost never drops after the Bar because I really like my threaded SPAS-12. A real rape machine for mutant hunting.
I meant up to 70. 60kg without stamina drain. hum. Because I scavenge too much and often carry a ton of equipment to drop at the rookie camp. Now all of them have either Grozas, SIGs, AN94s. Even one of them has a RPG. LONG LIFE THE ROOKIE CAMP!

Funny, I LOVE them, as they kinda remind you that it’s you trespassing on some twisted, "sacred" ground, where humans should have no room to roam freely and happily. Also they’re rather easily to spot with the detectors, especially with the later models.
>>5621172

I do that as well, but I keep my venturing-out gear at ~30kg usually, just to leave enough room for looting.

I do the exact same things all the time. Re-armed the re-established Agroprom base with ANs and AK74 rifles.
Also the oldest trick in the book: re-arming Kruglov and other important people with something longer than arm.

Yup, can’t do.
And lemme guess, you slaughtered the Freedom-bros for the renegade-Duty scums? They had a trader as well, which is now no-go for you if you did that.
Also the entire Scorcher / Red Forest area is packed with hidden suits. Look around, if you dare. Meanwhile, equip some artifacts to keep you going!

haven’t even heard of such bug. Perhaps you could try taking some screens of your own to show us?
What’s your specs and game’s settings (rendering mode especially), plus have you tried updating drivers?

Lurk 1.2 is looking pretty awesome so far, these guys really are putting in a lot of effort on their behalf, with the dynamic sounds and whatnot.

Is there a way to fix the physics/texture glitches in SoC with AMK, or s it just a common thing with AMK?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, every now and again an NPC will get "stuck" in objects, creating a banging noise, while they’re flailing around in place.
And sometimes their model gets stretched to the next galaxy.

Sounds like SEVA.
And yes, you do want similar suit with closed breathing system and decent armor. If you’re lucky, you may even find them from Stashes in Wild Territory and Red Forest. Some side-missions even have such suits as the price.

Those might be your problems.
STALKER games don’t really co-operate with AMD’s cards.
Try running it in DX10 mode, and see if it gets fixed. Dx11 alters the shadowing system a bit.

I hope they implanted that back in, but I haven’t heard anything about it so far.
Hopefully, they don’t go to crazy, and take it out altogether because it isn’t "realistic".
Was it in the first version of LURK? I’ve only played 1.1 so far, and thought it was pretty atmospheric at times, it was way to grimdark and bloomed for my taste

Ah alright. Also, is there a setting in the user.ltx file or something that will fix the draw distance/grass visibility? I’m aware that there’s an engine limitation that causes the grass to not appear after a certain distance.
But that’s not what I’m talking about, I mean just the ground itself looking like cement with yellow and red and green paint dumped on it when semi far away. I don’t really notice it in anyone else’s screenshots

So if I want to rearm an NPC I have to trade him a fully loaded weapon with a higher damage stat than the one he’s using which means I’m fucked if he’s using a shotgun, right? Do I need to provide them with additional ammo for that weapon, too or can they just keep shootan without consuming ammo?

As far as i know, if they’re using a shotgun you’re fucked, unless there’s a work around I haven’t heard of. Also with AMK and a few other mods I think you can just drop a gun at their feet and they’ll pick it up. If the damage is higher.

NPCs pick up gear even in vanilla. The weapon just needs to be better than their current one.
But at least in AMK, the rookies do gladly accept an AK74 or AN94 if they’re using a Sawnoff. The shotguns are quite devastating in AMK-based mods indeed though.

Yes, but I’m tackling medicine first, since that’s more important.
I’ve been working on a number of things that I want to include in 1.06 since March, so I might have a number of really drastic features all being implemented within or short period of time and complimenting each other.
One of them being new medical items and food, the other two are artifacts requiring detectors, and night vision scopes and separate night vision goggles from suits (which will no longer have night vision by themselves.)
And if I’m lucky I’ll have a new starting map working before 1.07, but I can’t guarantee it. Pic related

CoP’s storyline is about a military operation. From start to finish that’s your objective, and most sidequests you undertake at least mentions the contribution to that.
You do your share of exploring and intel gathering. There’s plenty of continuity pieces in the game for lore’s sake. But it’s true you don’t really have an option of involving the factions to any real degree, and you don’t go to CNPP for some endall revelation about The Zone.

If it’s invisible anomalies, you can use the Hot Swapper (http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/stalkershadowofchernobyl/mod/40995.html) to set them to their normal visibility.
As for better weapons, I ran into a military patrol near the little bridge right by the rookie camp, killed them all with my sawn-off and got some Abakans and AK-47s. Because of the increased bullet damage you can cut enemies down from range with only a few bullets, and then you can get loads of ammo from the bandits/military in the area.

I don’t know if you were here the last two threads, but I was the guys who kept raging about his weapon jamming. Fucking Abakans can die in a whole. My character has already shot 4 or 5 other stalkers for their weapons. got a submachine gun and an AK47, but not a whole lot of ammo for them. I just really want a rifle = that’s my preferred play style. but noooo, you don’t get rifles until the red fucking forest.

Oh yeah, I remember the jamming Abakan. Not sure where you can get something better, unless you can find something nice in a stash. Otherwise I think you have to wait until Rostok to start getting things like Enfields and SIGs.
In Cordon, quite close to the electro anomaly tunnel. I was getting the stash by the nearby rocks. Vision blurred for awhile, then the sky went red for a little bit, then there was a flash of white and it stopped.

which means the military don’t get triggered to attack, which means the shortcut doesnt get opened up back to Cordon..
i found the papers down there but the game doesnt seem to realise that.
i was enjoying the fuck out of this mod too. shame

Yes, amongst other luxuries like coffee and tea.
I’m just getting the hang of this "making new items" thing as I’m drinking my Ceylon with dinner.
But ultimately, I think potential changes to the story that may be finished by 1.07 would be much more impressive.

Is there an AMK compatible mod that would give you a gun at the beginning of the game?
Also, found this guy sleeping on a fireplace.

They’re poltergeists. They’re cloaked when they’re alive, but you can see air distortion and electricity where they are. Can kill them by shooting towards that.

Are there any mods for CoP that add more guns but aren’t a part of an overhaul, kind of like Arsenal was for SoC? I’m kind of tired of just seeing the same 5 guns over and over and want some more variety.

Ok, I need help with someone who knows about the SMART spawners for the Alife squads.
I installed misery, Modded the stanima to be non-retarded, and the traders to have 5x the food.
Now I am walking around jupiter and the place is empty. I think that the duty and freedom squads simply stopped spawning…
Is there a way to spawn more Alife squads, or increase the respawn rate on the current Alife squads? I want a more active zone.

In OGSE there are a total of 5 documents you have to recover before the military arrives etc. They don’t explain this very well, but if you look at the documents you have you’ll notice it is only ‘part’. The game is a little buggy in that if you don’t collect them in order, the mission can sometimes fuck up. The locations are:
1) in a blue box in one of the chambers on the lowest level – can’t remember exactly but I think one of the ones with lockers
2) Directly to the right and up some stairs in the room with the pseudogiants
3) On a dead stalker in the room with lots of boxes on fire, level above the poltergeists/boss
4) In the final room after the boss
5) On the (ghostly) stalker, alive in the upper areas. He is supposed to die after the military arrive but he actually killed them all in my game so I had to shoot him.

So I got a fresh install of SoC (steam version) and tried to install ZoA, but it says my video card does not have the right requirements and I need "Pixle shader 1.1" to run it. All I did was drag and drop the game data folder into the directory and tweaked some of the shader settings, anything I’m missing here?

Oh god you guys…
I made it through the first two games with no mods, then figured I would try the misery mod with CoP
4 hours in, and I’m still hanging around Zaton.
This is the first time in a game where I’ve been genuinely nervous of venturing out into the world. I have to use have of my earnings to pay for food and ammo while still saving up for better armor. The only weapons I have atm are a Kalash and a .45 pistol.
I got lucky though, I found a huge ammo cache in a wrecked convey, along with some poison gas to kill some Bloodsuckers. Since the gas is so heavy, I’m going to stow most of my weapons and ammo away, so I hope 20 rounds of . 45 acp will do. As long as nothing ambushes me I think I’ll be fine.

Alright so after countless tweakings with my GPU (460) and the fans, I can’t stop my game from randomly overheating and shutting my computer down so I’ve resorted to downgrading one of the mods in the starter pack I’ve installed
is there anything I can reduce that would get me better performance but no that big of a visual difference

STALKER games on lowest possible settings + Static Lighting (DX8) mode should run even on 2005 hardware. FDL + medium-ish settings could be done on something like 2,4Ghz P4, 1.5GB RAM and 128mb 6600gt (that’s how I played it first).
Assuming your laptop was built in the last 2-4 years and has a dedicated videocard (not some integrated intel crap), it should play the game(s) ~OK. >2 Ghz processor would be very recommended as well.

AMK 1.4, yes.
I personally hate everything Complete-related. Ruins the game’s visual style and performance. I’d use the Starter Packs visuals only, as instructed in Guide at >>5608906
, and in the copypaste in >>5608965

Is there some kind of /k/-like mod that breaks up a gun’s durability into the derivative of degrading mechanic components? I’m no gun nut; but I’ve worked with machines. I know there’s a line between dirty and damaged. I also know depending on the problems the way a machine mispreforms changes.
I think I could get behind a system needing to manage both cleaning a weapon periodically; and keeping an eye out for similar weapons to salvage less worn parts. Rather than just paying $XXXX to a mechanic to fix it for you or throwing your gun away and picking up another. And frankly I think I’d enjoy weapon degregation if it was more complicated than "red lowers all ballistic stats a lot and causes lots of jams".

What are your other specs, settings and mods?
Because I played with 2.13Ghz E6400 core 2 duo, 3.5GB DDR2, 8800gt 512mb and WinXP 32-bit up until last summer, and the games played just fine with high settings, 1920×1200 resolution, with >30fps in most scenes. The areas filled with plenty of NPCs, mostly trading-centers in CS and CoP, did dip down close to 20fps often, but that didn’t bother me.
Follow the performance tips at >>5608625
,
avoid using in-game AA, or any AA at all if your PC’s old. With the latest Nvidia’s Beta drivers you can force FXAA on all games though, which would maintain good performance and smooth out the biggest jaggies.
If you still experience issues, consider halving your resolution.

It’s an all new model, obvious because the gun’s re-mirrored correctly.
Judging from it and general looks, I’d say it’s from Swartz -mod or something similar. Pic also related.

The official patch and ZRP are the most important ones, as they iron out bugs and small annoyances. The rest are purely graphical mods, which can also be used to improve performance if used right. Up to you if you use them, most of ‘em can be added later as well.
>Also, how do you install the ZRP mod? (Is it required to replace your gamedata folder)
you install it as any other mod, see the Starting Guide and the OP’s first few posts.
By default you do NOT have a gamedata-folder. You get one once you install (usually just unpack) a mod.
>do you really need 3 knives…
Heh, everyone keeps asking that.
I just happened to loot ‘em just before taking the pic. They’re light and worth enough rubles for piece of food or two.

Sup nigs. Just installed STALKER SoC. Unfortunately someone spoiled the end for me on purpose on /v/ which really sucks but any way.
1)Do I install any mods for my first play or do I go vanilla? I tried it for 5 minutes and something that sucks is that the human enemies are unrealistically resistant to bullets, headshots dont even kill them, not sure if that matters though.
2) I have a 6950 2GB OC, what graphic setting am I looking at here? What can I do to give good performance? I heard that some settings improve nothing visually but slow the game down like hell.
Thanks

No mods, just turn the difficulty up.
You can run it fine, but don’t touch the AA slider, it’s broken in SoC, just force AA through your GPU setting control panel.

There’s multiple endings, and the story’s seldom the main thing people play STALKERs anyway. So there’s a small chance they spoiled the "real" ending anyway, or that you’d get it straight away.
>1)Do I install any mods for my first play or do I go vanilla?
Read the OP’s first couple posts.
STARTER PACKs offer the smoothest vanilla-experience.
>I tried it for 5 minutes and something that sucks is that the human enemies are unrealistically resistant to bullets, headshots dont even kill them, not sure if that matters though.
Headshots are INSTA-KILLS, to both ways. You’re just probably not hitting anything.
STALKER games utilize very detailed bullet-physics and ballistics systems, so bullets drop in the distance, ricochet off hard & angled surfaces, and have various wounding & armor-penetration characteristics. All depends on the caliber and weapon. The starting gear is the worst possible shit you get in the games, it’s up to you to survive, move on, and improve your gear.
>2) I have a 6950 2GB OC, what graphic setting am I looking at here? What can I do to give good performance? I heard that some settings improve nothing visually but slow the game down like hell.
Again, read the OP’s posts. All that’s been stated in the beginner’s tips and Starting Guide.
You should be pretty much capable of "maxing" the settings. Just don’t go nuts with AA, and in later games keep SSAO and SunShafts LOW.

like already told, read the first few posts and the Guide-pic in the beginning of the thread.
ZRP is pretty much just an extra bug-fixer, and rest of the Starter pack’s mods are graphical ones.
Always play on Master difficulty! Higher the difficulty level, the MORE damage the guns do. This works both ways though, so you also need to pay more attention and use cover. Also do not trust your crosshairs, always low-crouch and aim through sights & scopes; preferably use single-shot and burst-firing modes for better accuracy as well. I’d disable the crosshair altogether if I were you.

Starter Packs include the official patches for the said games as well.
SoC’s pack includes 1.0004, which is one-below the latest patch. This is because some big mods, like the legendary AMK1.4, work simply better on the older patch, and many people have problems finding it anymore.
1.0004 itself is already VERY stable version as well.

Yeah, the fact that you applied tons of mods on top of the game really introduces countless possible issues. The fact that the game crashes instantly during start up means you fucked something up during installation.
Delete the entire gamedata, and install only the AMK1.4 + its patches and retranslation first, see that it works. Then stick with STarter Pack’s graphics, and retry. Don’t forget to apply the AMK-related fixes of mods, if they have any!
if you still get crashes, follow the instructions given in this thread and see the end of your crash-log.

it’s just that most of the pirated versions make the X-ray engine even more unstable.
But to summarize it all, >>5647747
would need to ensure that:
1) His game’s patched properly, preferably to 1.0004
2) The crack’s right one for the game’s version
3) The mod itself was properly installed, WITHOUT 1.0005-fix.
4) If the mod itself works, then keep adding graphics one by one, following the instructions carefully. Make backup of the working Gamedata in case you screw up. I’d stay away from the AMK-Complete merge, as it just adds unnecessary steps to the installation AND can fuck things up more.

I read over the guide on how to load magazines in ZoA a million times, but I still can’t get the hang of it.
Either I’m retarded and making a mistake when doing the mag to belt -> binoculars thing, or it’s just buggy.
Kinda wish they’d remove the magazine mod until someone gives it a better system.

OGSE postgame, I loaded up my save and somehow I lost all my weapons except my knife. Had to run through a Bar full of hostile Dutyers to talk to Barkeep, and then back out south to head towards Agroprom. Bought myself an AK-107 with the last of my money (really, the last of it).
Stalkers disappearing near Agroprom, the Duty squad sent to investigate it hasn’t responded, so Barkeep sends me. Well, I’m a Freedom member so this sounded like a bad idea, but hell, it’s to help the Loners, not Duty.
Got to the Garbage to find that all the Duty at the checkpoint had been zombified, zombies everywhere. No ammo for this shit, ran past them and towards Agroprom, picking a shottie up off a bandit on the way.
Got to Agroprom proper, zombies fucking everywhere. Ran past them, up to the stalker base. Everyone’s dead, the Duty detachment are cowardly barricaded in the top floor of one of the buildings, they were too pussy to go down into the tunnels to check out the source. Typical Duty. They clearly wanted to shoot me, but had orders from Barkeep not to, and they obeyed like the dogs they are.
Time for me to head down there and see what’s causing all of this.

You simply "overwrite" the gamedata folders, merging them into one. That’s how mixing and patching mods is done with Stalker mods usually. Read the guides up above.
I’m sorry to hear it. Did you ever try running it 100% vanilla?

Climbed down into the Agroprom underground, only to find out that they’ve installed a minefield down here. Fuck, mines! The scientists were selling a mine detector, but I foolishly passed over purchasing one. I can’t turn back now though, I’m going to have to break out my trusty bolts and proceed carefully.
Encountered a group of bandits, very well armed. They must have a supplier, I’ve never seen bandits with this kind of gear. Found a very nice upgraded shotgun off of one, it’s nearly broken though. I can hear bloodsuckers below, but there’s only one way to do this. I just pray some Loners have managed to hang on down here.

Shot my way through some military, and came up out of the tunnels. It just figures that when the military re-set up their base of operations here, they replaced ALL of the auto-turrets. I can hear them talking. The ecologist from earlier suspects that they are holding another ecologist hostage here, for knowing too much about some egghead project….ZJOG-13 or something like that, it’s not my business.

QFT.
I’m getting so tired of the poorfags in here. When I was 12, I got £5 a week pocket money. So, in two weeks, I would have the money to buy STALKER if it came out when I was 12. Anyone cracking it nowadays is using the "GSC is dead" argument to get around the fact they’re digital kleptomaniacs that are so used to stealing that the idea of BUYING something that took almost a DECADE to create hits them as daylight robbery in itself.
tl;dr? It’s impossible to be too poor to afford this unless you’re a starving Ethiopian who doesn’t have a ‘net connection et ergo can’t post here, so buy it or don’t play it, ’cause the cracked versions are full of righteously indignant bugs.

Was unable to find the hostage after painstakingly clearing the base a second time. A trader has taken up residence in the base, but I have only 5000 RU and can’t afford much. Purchased a bit more slav ammo for my AK.
Found a brand new-looking military car behind the base, decided to take it for a spin. 10 seconds into the ride, I remembered that I never learned to drive. Oh well, we’ll have to go on foot. I guess I’ll go check back on those Duty cowards.

The ammo stash related to a quest in the T-62(?) in the Red Forest gives you 2000 7.62x54PP rounds plus a quest item (Tank Machine Gun) which has a 2000 round ammo belt. It’s enough to win all the Faction Wars and go through the endgame of Clear Sky without reloading (except when the gun starts to jam). I felt like using the PKT was cheating so I just took the bog-standard PKM.

I bought the games, intsalled them from CD, then used the NO-CD patch, I can install AMK/ZoA every time without a hitch.
Then again, if you cba with a simple install wizard, I can’t see you bothering with any mods, especially when they involve replacing files and merging folders ohmy!

Checked back with Duty, they were still huddled down like cowards. Decided to go to Yantar to sell some artifacts, maybe repair my armor. Ran into a heavily armored and heavily armed military group. All of them are using underbarrel grenade launchers, as I discovered painfully the first time I tried engaging them.
I hope Yantar is okay.

Yantar is just fine, a Clear Sky squad (some of them survived?) is protecting their base. Unfortunately, nobody here knows anything about my mission.
(Any OGSEbros know where to go next? I met the first ecologist in Stelok’s stash, I’m trying to find the project he spoke of, and/or the other ecologist…)
For now, I suppose I’ll go back to where the first ecologist said it all started – Lab X18.

Playing CoP, my first playthrough, now in yanov, and I have a few questions:
1. What mods should I use to play the game again? I got the MISERY mod, and I like the fact that it adds quite a few weapons.
2. What else does it add?
3. Also, what’s with everybody being killed by bandits and stuff? they’re neutral to me, so they don’t attack me.
4. Also, is there any mod on CoP, which would let you to hire a buddy? or something like that.

You’ll have to either join Duty or take it from a dead Dutyer. When the Faction War between Freedom and Duty escalates (usually by the time you’d get to the Red Forest) they’re taking over the Garbage and thus you’ll see more elite dutyers carrying those PKMs You could probably assassinate a Dutyer with a PKM and get away with it if you’d do some random quests for them so you could also get the upgrades from Thunderov.
Then you have two opportunities to get in in Limansk. One is the elite bandit at the start of the Limansk and the other is a spetsnaz machinegunner about halfway through Limansk.

…so wait, you’re on your first playthrough WITH Misery, or have the Misery pre-loaded? Because oh god boy if it’s the first choice! I personally liked Misery quite a lot, but it’s not as difficult as some people claim. Just don’t forget to patch it!
>2. What else does it add?
You downloaded the mod, but didn’t bother to read about it’s features as well?!
http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-misery/features/features48
>3. Also, what’s with everybody being killed by bandits and stuff? they’re neutral to me, so they don’t attack me.
That’s just one of CoP’s fuck-ups. Bandits and Loners naturally hate each other, but you’re seen as some sort of "ultimate neutral" most of the game. One of the reasons CoP is too easy by default.
>4. Also, is there any mod on CoP, which would let you to hire a buddy? or something like that.
Many. Including MISERY.
Too bad at least in the first versions of the mod, saving a game while you had a companion following you caused the said save-state to get corrupted. Thus "leaving" your buddies or staying as a Loner was recommended. Dunno if it’s fixed now, I’m still playing pure 1.0 !

Misery, SGM, Swartz, Redux
>What else does it add?
It’s a rebalance mod and makes the Zone more harsh (you get a lot less money, artifacts are more scarce etc)
>Also, what’s with everybody being killed by bandits and stuff? they’re neutral to me, so they don’t attack me.
For some pants-on-head retarded reason the bandits in CoP are neutral toward the player unless you go out of your way to fuck them over and even that takes a lot of doing. Many mods make them randomly hostile toward you and it’s rather easy to tweak them to be hostile-on-sight all the time. Many mods also add things like hostile mercenaries in the areas so that’s something I guess.
>Also, is there any mod on CoP, which would let you to hire a buddy? or something like that.
I think Misery and Swartz allow you to "recruit" friendly (green) characters but at least in Misery if you save while you have a friendly guy following you, it’ll corrupt the save.

Thanks, I’m currently playing the unmodded CoP, but I’ll surely play through it again, but with a mod. Again, thanks.

Who has played MSO for CoP?
http://www.moddb.com/mods/mso-massive-simulation-overhaul
It looks like it is mostly a Alife+AI fix to make the game better, and leaves almost everything else alone.
Is there a way to combine it with "atmosphere" mods like Misery?

Well well, look who’s sounding like the D&E in disguise!
"FPS" is just one major category the game sort of fits.
It’s fundamentally very different from various other FPS-games, like Doom / Quake, or CoD / BF franchise. Only real similarities are the fact that they’re all viewed from the eyes of the controlled character, and you usually shoot things.
Meanwhile you do plenty of the same in FO3 & NV, yet those are magically NOT FPS-games anymore, but RPGs?? If STALKER had "RPG-like" stats (which it kinda has) and EXP-based Leveling up features (that some mods actually add), then they’d be fairly pure western-RPGs. Fuck, I’ve read some annoying reviews that go something about like "the game’s great, but where’s the Experience Levels?!"
I still like the definition of "Survival-shooters (with minor RPG elements)" myself. You got a hostile, seemingly open-ended world with dynamic events unfolding all the time, and you need to manage and improve your gear and own skills. To do this you also need to interact with NPCs, like trade and do missions.

Yep, controllers have a major weakness in SoC in that they have no melee attack and can’t use their mind attack at close range; so you can just run up to them and kill them without trouble. This was fixed in the other games, they got a strong melee attack.

Fellow Stalkers, how would you actually like your zone to be ? The main points are :
Anomalies
Artifacts
Factions
Weapons/Armor/detectors
Upgrades
Missions
I’ll go first :
>Anomalies :
I would love a mix of SoC and CoP. Concentrated clusters, and random appearing/disappearing lone anomalies. I would specially appreciate numerous iterations after a blowout then gradual decrease in strengh and numbers. Also, radiation needs to be a serious threat again.
>Artifacts :
Once again, a mix would be nice. Low utility can be found in plain sight, while higher tier artifacts still need a detector and are usually in anomalous areas. Also need to be like SoC where very few are benefit only and antirads still have a downside
>Factions
As I rather be a loner, I honestly don’t know. I guess faction stuff should be favorized after completing the game AKA freeplay. There should be finer granularity, no NPC should be always hostile because his faction is generally hostile.
>Weapon/Armors/Detectors :
A slightly higher variety would be nice, specially in low calibers (9×18/19). As for detector I would absolutely love to have the best ones being the hardest to use, like an Echo for highest tier artifacts (because the background noise of the anomalies make it impossible to separate from the artifact itself). The Svarog was ace, but too powerfull.
>Upgrades
CoP did it almost perfect, the few thing I disliked was calibration tools too late into the game. Maybe last tier could be done with artefact trading and/or loads of money if you don’t have the tools. While it sometime bugged me, restricted tree is the way to go. Maybe allow Helmet adaptation.

CoP bloodsuckers are annoying because they are fully invisible until close. make them like SoC. Controllers need area of influence like in Soc also.
Big stuff like Pseudogiants should be rare but very deadly.

Geez, I thought the devs of Survarium were smart, but even that small piece of hope is lost.

>Anomalies
Sort of a mix of Clear Sky and CoP. I want to have these weird nightmarish landscape-changes anomalies like CoP(and the Symbiont-anomalies of CS) and the smaller anomaly fields that Clear Sky did but not just peppering the landscape with single anomalies like SoC did.
>Artifacts
They should have properties from all games but I’d prefer them to have occasionally other negative properties than just radiation. Maybe make it so that NPCs can use artifacts as well, causing effects like making them faster / rendering them partially invisible etc.
>Factions
Free stalkers should act less like a hugbox towards the player and each other, having scuffles over artifacts / loot. Free stalkers would also occasionally act like ghetto-ass mercs, doing hits on other stalker camps, individuals and maybe even the player. As for Freedom / Duty, it’d be harder to piss off a faction to be permanently hostile towards you at all times but wearing the other’s faction armour would immediately flag you as "hostile" to the other party.
>Weapons/Armor/detectors
More time with ghetto-tier weapons so that getting to the actual meaty weapons feels like something. More customization options would be nice as would be if NPCs could weapon upgrades as well.

The Freeplay merge is kind of neat, but it’s a little bloomy and pretty damn empty without any of the scripted spawns like WT’s Mercs or Skull’s group.
I suck too much too take the Car Park in ZoA, the AI is useless and bleeding rates are fucking insane.
Might just go back to raw AMK.
How’s Swartz for CoP? I tried MSO and it was a nice idea – I love more spawns, Stalker battles, etc., but it didn’t do nearly enough and I was still bored to tears in an empty Pripyat once the scripted Monolith were dead.
My computer is fairly shitty on the memory side, landscape and gun retextures are fine, but the Variation mod and such cause out of memory crashes if I die and reload. I’d rather not drop texture quality across the board just to make something like Misery stable.

>Upgrades
A mix of CS / CoP system because honestly, the CoP system made everything a bit too powerful. Maybe the CS system with the ability to revert some of the changes for a larger sum of money.
>Missions
More action-oriented missions would be nice but I liked a lot how the missions branched a bit in CoP according to some of your choices like The Hit.
>Mutants
CoP bloodsuckers were great but the Controllers should have the ability to actually zombify people outside of the scripted sequences. The Poltergeists should be rare outside scripted missions but appear in abandoned factories and indoor areas occasionally. They should be also able to send electric shocks at you or float discarded firearms that are laying around and fire them at you until the clip runs out.

Delete the specific texture-files / whole folders.
Visual changes don’t usually affect the gameplay or saves at all. Just leave the UI-changes intact, or you will also need to delete their new configs (assuming you even use anything but the default AMK HUD shown in pics ITT)
Having a .dds -image viewer helps to locate right files and making changes to the visuals.

Freedom base seems particularly oblivious. A few days ago I wiped the base out, and was able to snipe quite a few guys before anyone went hostile.
Shit, I was able to stand on the hill near the front gate, and shoot each of 3 guards without the others noticing.

The game crashes after it says "Creating Game"
It doesn’t seem to able to load the game. Is anybody else having this problem?

Running Misery and it runs decent on minimual graphics with static lighting and switch distance turned down but all the atmosfear effects absolutely rape my framerate. Is there anything in the config file I should turn down a bit to improve performance during blowouts?

Does Swartz affect mutant and Stalker spawns at all? Populate the Zone? There’s no comprehensive change list, just shit for the last and upcoming updates.
Debating between that and MSO with a half hour respawn.

Do the SWO and Shaders Max included in the Starter Pack work with 1.0004(AMK)?
I’m basically setting up AMK Complete myself, minus the Complete and Arsenal parts because apparently Arsenal is a mess with Stalkers not using their proper weapons(preferring pistols or something)

Swartz has an adjusted version of the M.S.O. It’s less ridiculous than the base M.S.O but makes the maps more lively.

Honestly I didn’t think MSO did enough when I used 1.0.
Zaton was really active(stupidly so around the Skadovsk, 30+ Stalkers with constant fighting that tapered off as you moved away. Jupiter, though? Hardly noticed it outside of the Monolith at the factory. Same for Pripyat.

I’d love for the anomalies to be something more than the mundane same-oldey stuff you just pass by. Now you barely have to think about them (maybe some mods change this, dunno).
I think anomalies were something the developers had much grander ideas about but ran out of time, I remember reading about something like this. I’d love it if they were rarer and more unique/visceral scripted (with some randomness still) events, some very unexplainable/unpredictable/deadly phenomenons but then around them you’d find the most powerful artifacts (which I would also make more rare, exciting and unique, at least some of them).
Don’t get me wrong, I love Stalker as it is also, but you asked.

Nevermind, I’m retarded. Had to kill all of the soldiers before he will leave.
On the downside, I just got a notice about someone in the underground being killed by a burer. Never fought them, but I hear they’re pretty bad.

In Clear Sky Trush (the trader from Orest’s group at Agroprom) says that he saw first hand Dutyers and military fighting but he also says that he’s seen / heard about them being buddy-buddy with the Spetsnaz. The description about Duty treating the grunts with contempt seems to confirm this.

Newbie here and I’ve got two quick questions.
Is there a way to set quicksave to F5? (I’d rather not go into the menu each time I want to save)
What do I do with these artifacts? I keep getting them from doing missions, should I sell them all?

is it even worth playing vanilla SoC? I’m playing through it now and its really buggy, does anyone recommend a mod that fixes that? something with fast travel would also be nice but the game still has to feel hard. also are there some quality improving mods too? should i just download the starter pack?

Go into keybindings in the options menu.
Most artifacts you get early are pretty terrible and you can sell them. But check what each does, some might come in handy. By the way, you equip them in the inventory screen, that’s what the five slots next to the gun slots are for.
Zone Restoration Project will fix it. It also adds fast travel options, though I think that takes a lot of fun out of the game.

It’s "Zone Reclamation Project", and as the Starting Guide says(seriously people, read the OP’s posts!), it’s the core element of STARTER PACKs.
Also read your PDA and the same Starting Guide above about the Artifacts.

The double-vision thing is fatigue, meaning you haven’t slept in a while. Eating something before taking a nap, and keeping the resting times short usually do the trick without killing you.
Dunno why your HP would be dropping though. I’ve heard of some sort of continuous-damage bug in the past, but I’ve never experienced it. Try loading an older save, see if it disappears.

I just want AMK’s gameplay with Complete’s graphics.
Is that really too much to ask for?
I’m installing AMK, then copying just the meshes, shaders, textures, and sounds to gamedata.
That’s it right? I had all this shit working sometime last year, but have since lost the files.

Dunno why’d you want to do that,
but the user.ltx shouldn’t effect your game much. You can live without it. The new textures and sounds are loaded straight from the gamedata.

do what exactly?
As long as you know what you want and where to find it, you can move graphics from any mod to another, as long as the configs or something else don’t conflict with the original ones. Textures are the easiest part.
Still, if you want to keep the installation simple and still get great visuals, just use STARTER PACK’s graphical mods. The results you can see from posts linked in the >>5665214

playing AMK on master after doing vanilla on normal… maybe I jumped a bit too quickly. I didn’t mind the firefights, in fact I liked them. Made me stay back, circle around, search hard in case I missed anything. But the FUCKING anomalies. EVERYWHERE. I couldn’t help but rage.
the trainer is giving me perspective though. I need a total rehaul on STALKER, or maybe pirate CoP

Patching the mod will need you to start a new game I believe. I’m still playing pure 1.0, with a very minor stamina-fix of my own. Everything else’s just the way it shipped.
Can’t comment on your weapons etc, as I started as a Sniper.
>and health always at 5%
Why don’t you go talk to the Medic already?
Get used to FINALLY using their services, until you get some decent artifacts and suits with regenerative characteristics. You will need ‘em

you just need to adapt to the new pace of the mod.
NEVER rush anywhere without double-checking, avoid sprinting unless you’re 200% sure it’s safe to do so. All that at least until you get an anomaly detector.
Even then never get used to "safe paths". The anomalies move around now, as we all know, and mutants & hostiles roam the land more actively than ever.
The game still rewards patient players. Later on you may end up being like me, finding the game dull and too easy without it.

f2000 has build in nade launcher and packs a bit more punch, G36 is a bit more accurate. Both are great, I’d go with G36 if you enjoy sniping stuff long range though; f2000 if you’re not.

F2K if you can get it, I only allow it for myself if I get it in a stash. G36 is good, but as usual, try both and see what you prefer! Just get the F2000 in a stash first, as they’re harder to come by than the G36.

bumping with a quick question:
Has anyone had any luck finding the crossbow in the wild territory? I’ve had a few searches but never been able to find it. The instructions are so vague (a secret path behind a bush) it is becoming a game of ‘search every square meter and then get eaten by bloodsuckers’.

Yeah bro. Backed around the clearing shooting the giant every time it got close. Took all my shells to kill it, but I’m guessing it must have been injured beforehand otherwise it would have taken more. Also ran into >>5662316
again on the way back and killed it, but I think it would have been low on health as well.
Gonna head to Rostok now to deliver the papers, sell the lodes of artifacts I’m carrying and restock my supplies.

It must be a Loner tradition to die by standing in a campfire, I’ve seen it happen way too many times funnily enough
Anyone got that Stalker copypasta where a guy saw a stalker standing in a campfire, but he wouldn’t come out and did not give a single fuck, that was hilarious

Me again from yesterday, playing OGSE postgame. My hunch was right, it appears that Lab X-18 is where the bread crumbs lead. Fresh military and Duty corpses litter the building above the lab, with an ecologist corpse as well.
Inside the lab, I find more corpses: military and mutants. It appears that they’ve locked the first door again, and the old code (1243) no longer works.
Any OGSEbros know where I can get a hint here? I’ve searched X-18′s first floor pretty thoroughly…

Code should be on the body of a dead scientist in one of the side rooms. A heads up: there are 5 sets of documents hidden in X-18: two on the first level (flamethrower stalker, dead stalker near fire poltergeist) and 3 on the level below (in room after boss, up some stairs in room with pseudogiant, in a blue box tucked away at the back of one of the side rooms). You need to get all of them to trigger the next part of the quest.

Ah, thanks, but I’m in the postgame. I already cleared Lab X-18 and got the 5 documents earlier. This is part of a new quest chain that only opens up after the CNPP. Like I said, the old code doesn’t work. I checked the ecologist’s body, he doesn’t have anything new on him either.

I just visit every anomoly and get the artifact hunter cheevo, then you get much better artifacts, and a quick run through jupiter will make you a rich man.
The problem with this game is that having money allows you to buy good equipment, making it too easy.

So guys i am currently about 14-16 hours into playing Misery for CoP…. and can i tell you if you have not tried it please do, its absolutely amazing.
I do get the occasional bug where if you die the second after you quicksave or crash just after a quicksave you cant reload it, an easy workaround it to normal save every 5 minutes and quicksave every 2.
But yeah anyway it’s pretty amazing, just got into Pripyat and took almost 10 shots from my sniper to kill a bloodsucker, are they stronger in Pripyat or something?

I found a clue. The second ecologist was hiding near X-18 just outside, not in the lab itself. Picked up this knife, showed it to the ecologist. He thinks it may be a clue for the code to the door. I’m off to find this ‘Serega the Maniac’. Unfortunately I have no leads whatsoever. I suppose I’ll go pay a visit to the first ecologist back in the agroprom underground and see if he has any ideas.
Well, after this blowout.

Some differences.
AMK Complete adds some of Complete’s textures and sounds, plus LURK’s weapon textures, animations, and minimal HUD. There’s also AMK Arsenal.
I don’t know if that AMK Complete download is just a gamedata folder or each installation.

whats the matter bro, its standard issues ACOG nato scope? maybe you mean the weird bus textures ? thats because of NV i think
all of sudden the bandit soils his pants and makes a run for it. usain bolt in the fkin zone… i never see his ass again (i think he died in those bushes) but i have to say im quite impressed he survived the first blow.
i thank him for his sacrifice and distraction, and sneak into…

I seem to recall it a bit lacking in the rupture and bulletproof departments, but otherwise the scientist suits are fairly good. SEVA is one of the best in the games.
Never heard of that specific problem. Best bets are to reinstall the games or delete gamedata and see if it works then. Make sure you’re using the right version, especially if you’re either on a retail copy or using AMK.

Is there anything I can do to make the car park just slightly easier in ZoA? The Bandits are a lot more durable than me and the three Loners are useless. I looked around a bit for artifacts or a rifle, but wasn’t able to get enough money and didn’t dare venture to the train tunnel with the makarov.

Hey bro.
I have a feeling it’s a bug related to the mine that gets placed there. There’s a mine a few steps away from the ladder after you first get down there in the postgame quest. Sometimes a save will get corrupted like that, I suggest reloading a previous save from before you switched areas (i.e. above the tunnels), that always fixes those problems for me.
I’m still looking for this ‘Serega the Maniac’, myself…

Already tried that sadly, as well as going through the other tunnel entrance in the military base. I don’t believe mines are killing me because my detector shows diddly squat and I’ve never found one with the bolt. It’s more like I’m just scripted to explode after x seconds and I’m utterly stumped as to why.

Fact of AMK. You can either let him die and move on – he’s not required to finish Yantar – or sleep/wait until the anomalies move into more favorable positions.
If you get stuck after the burner tunnel, I think you can run ahead, and if you reach Yantar before he dies, he won’t fall to the anomalies in offline mode.

this thing’s been discussed a lot already, even in this same thread.
There’s few tricks:
1) Examine the tunnel before hand for possible insta-kill anomalies, and if you spot one, skip time with the Sleepingbag, until they move away. Doing this BEFORE starting the escort increases chances of Krug’s survival, as they remain close to the underground tunnel’s access, meaning quick cover against possible Blowouts.
OR:
2) Clear the path of all hostiles, start the escort and move forward, leaving Krug behind. Take ~150m distance from him all the way to the end of the map, which forces him to offline- mode. Now he’s technically invincible against anomalies.

Recommended for beginners especially, and usually the most supported way of life in the Zone.
If someone made me choose with gun pointed to my skull, I’d go Freedom though. Shame SoC makes such a big deal out of choosing because of BAR’s location, so forever a Loner = win win.

Not sure what to tell you then. I’m almost positive it’s not an OGSE-specific bug, I remember someone in a previous thread running AMK saying they had the same bug (exploding 10 seconds after they load no matter what), so maybe google has some fixes.

Man, military attacked the village as soon as I finished the car park in ZoA. Only two soldiers died, rest scattered and are now along the road to the bridge. Luckily only a couple rookies died.
Now I’ve got an Abakan and AK-74. Seems money is even more worthless than usual. Any difference between different magazines of the same caliber and capacity?

Actually, I have an idea: Go into gamedata/config/creatures/actor.ltx and under the [actor_immunities_gd_master] (I assume you’re playing on master), set everything to 0. Then start up and roll. The explosion will still damage your armor, but it should do no damage to you.

Holy shit.
I was running haphazardly through the garbage trying to get away from a pack of pseudodogs, when I ran straight into a whirligig anomaly. I was bracing for imminent death, when suddenly a pseudodog leaped in and attacked me, pushing me out of the whirligig and getting torn apart by the anomaly itself seconds later.

God damn 4chan not letting me upload images.
OGSE, still looking for this ‘Serega the Maniac’. Barkeep doesn’t know anything. First ecologist didn’t know anything either. Also checked the bandit base, nothing there.
Somehow, I’ve become neutral with Duty even though I’m a member of Freedom, and thank god for that, I can finally visit the Bar without a firefight.
Somehow, in my long absence from the Bar, all hell broke loose there. A huge detachment of mercs is attacking the Bar, Duty and loners are trying to fend them off.
I guess it’s all the way back down to the Cordon to ask Sid if he knows anything.

I have 64-bit W7 Ultimate (hell, I guess most of the site uses W7 by now in general), and I’ve had zero problems.
Is your game pirated?
Is it patched?
What are you specs (do you have a proper GPU?)
Have you installed ANY mods?
I especially suspect the latter. It’s easy to break the game with careless modding attempts. Remove the entire gamedata-folder, see if the game works then as vanilla, then start adding mods one-by-one, testing in between. Don’t forget the possible PATCHES of the mods themselves-

Ffffuck, went all the way back to Cordon, Sid knows nothing about the guy. Since he was military, I figured I’d raid the military outpost south of Cordon, too…nothing.
Only locations I’ve yet to check are Army Warehouses, Red Forest and Pripyat itself…time to head back to the heart of the Zone. It’ll be nice to see my Freedom buddies again, haven’t seen em in ages.

That alone could be the reason. That or faulty crack.
When the game crashes, locate its crash-log from the game’s Documents -folder (C:\Users\Public\Documents\stalker-shoc\logs). Open the file in a text editor, and scroll to the very end of the document. The last few lines should state the reasons for the previous crash. Copy those here.

hmm… the crashlog doesn’t really give any info that’d be useful to an average user like me. So the problem lies in the game’s files.
Playing UNPATCHED game is never recommended in STALKER’s case. That’s just asking for issues.
I believe your rip or crack is faulty. Either buy it, or locate a new copy, if not even the patches & ZRP don’t help.

Thanks for your time and trying to help me. I just figured out that the crack instructions were wrong and instead I had to do some other shit with it first. Long story, but basically that for now it’s working on vanilla and unpatched. Gonna patch it up and add the starter mods when I get back from work later.
Thanks again though.

That is how these (good) Stalker Generals work:
All the recommended info and guides for beginner’s are posted first, rest are open discussion.
Save up at least the Starting Guide 1.3 image, it’s the most important one to bring up. Copypasting "the wall" would be recommended as well, I seldom see this info outside /v/ or /vg/.

OGSEbro, did you find the guy yet? Sid gave me some badly translated spiel that I think meant "he hasn’t left the Cordon yet", but I can’t find him. Only place I didn’t check is the military base south of the rookie camp I think.

Did you run into this military blob near the underpass as well out of curiosity?

I had a hunch you might not have checked the campfires all the way out in the wilderness and sure enough I found him. He’s at a campsite between the Cordon->Dark Valley tunnel and the railway line further north. I’d upload an image of exactly where but:

That’s probably some very extreme slow-poking from the site itself, because the ex-GSC revealed just couple weeks ago about freezing the STALKER 2′s dev because of IP-problems, and starting to work on the Survarium -MMO, all under the new name "Vostok Games".
I’d like to believe there’s still hope for S2, but unless the real, current owner of the IP steps up and wants to please the gigantic fan-base of the series, I’m not seeing it happening anytime soon.

This IS getting interesting. Fooled around in the Stalker’s main pages, clicked the "future" link which is meant for STALKER 2, and spotted this interview with some old GSC’s big shots… here’s google translated ver:

Apparently this was posted YESTERDAY.
In short, they’re mentioning, several times, that STALKER 2 project would still be ALIVE, but they’re looking for more / new developers and funding… ?

You know, it could very well happen and it’s not like it’s the first time the whole dev team has changed… I liked the team that was Vostok Games but as long as the head of development is sound, I guess it could work.
Also, why the image uploading doesn’t work ?

>Now, at this point, the man does not see any team that is able to translate all the ideas into practice and give you an expected or company developers are able to continue work on the STALKER universe, but that does not mean that «STALKER 2" will not. Moreover, my friends, I hasten to assure you – is still here. We are actively involved in the project and to find a team of programmers, or companies that are able to establish that the universe will continue to Stalker. Please forgive me, that perhaps my answer does not contain what you would like to hear. But believe me, it is better to take the time to create what are you waiting for, rather than throw away "nothing" under the name of STALKER 2. I think then you would be disappointed even more.

It’s true. Everyone always recommends those two like they’re all hot shit and they add a couple of things, by themselves but soup adds pretty much everything. I just wanted to know if there was a more stable or newer version of it floating around.

you won’t find recommendations for those two mods here on /vg/, that’s for sure.
as for the updates, have you tried the technobacon website? that’s where the STALKER soup mod team set up shop as far as i know. try googling "technobacon, stalker soup"

"We" have realized what a pile of crap Complete and OL are ages ago. It’s all about Starter Pack & AMK 1.4 nowadays, followed closely by ZoA and SOUPs. And asking if /v/ or /vg/ knows about STALKER SOUP simply has to be a rhetorical question.

Nice, I too started as a Sniper, and haven’t regretted it. Went in with the mentality of "Everything’s more deadly, so I want to keep my distance".
The boost for handguns is nice, you can actually clear out most foes with just your 9mm sidearm. Once you get OC-33, you’re deadly as hell. Most people complain about lack of 7.62 ammo in the beginning, but you gotta remember that you CAN use other weapons as well; I have kept the Hunter’s Chaser-12 shotgun with me all the time, and many assault rifles double as a decent sniper-replacements. Once you get VSS or VAL, you’re in your element again.

KAR 98
The old German beauty from the last great war.
No idea what it’s doing in the Zone, and who converted it to the 7.62 caliber, but it kicks the shit out of the Mosin.
Though it’s now collecting dust in my storage box, as my AS VAL converted to 5.45×39 simply is more versatile, utilizes more common ammo, and is damn deadly

>Most people complain about lack of 7.62 ammo in the beginning, but you gotta remember that you CAN use other weapons as well
Yeah, I actually liked the fact that pistols are incredibly useful since they’re criminally underused in most mods and vanilla CoP.
>why would you post that image
Picked a random image from my stalker folder to test if the images would still upload. Yes, that image confounds me too.

oh alright.
yeah, i enjoy using pistols in every STALKER playthrough too. even in CoP when the secondary slot allows me to pack a shotgun or sniper rifle, i still prefer to carry a pistol around for added security. even if it does sit in my backpack in those scenarios, i never really feel secure without one.
for looting or hunting runs i usually just pack a pistol and a good shotgun with medium amounts of ammo. goddamn the alpine with hydra-shocks is awesome as fuck.

I’m re-tabulating some of the bullet damage values right now, I realized that I left 9×18 FMJ way too low, it’s underpowered yes, but 7.62×25 actually had higher damage values, and that confounded me.
So I might end up with improved 9×18 pistols with FMJ loads when I’m done with these calculations, even if the whole purpose of doing this is balancing sub machine guns by caliber.
I’m even thinking of re-balancing assault rifle calibers too by bringing them a little closer to parity with each other.

The values I’m moving them to aren’t very far from where they already were. I’m just bringing the damage of 9×39 down, and 5.56×45 slightly closer to 5.45.
I figured out why 9×18 FMJ was under-performing so much, I accidentally mixed up its values with that of 7.62×25. The new value is somewhat closer to the PMM load that behaves identical to 9×19 FMJ.
I was wondering why the PPSh was performing so well, even after I had tweaked its damage down from the earlier, unbalanced value. I want to make the subguns perform better than pistols, but I can’t do it by a very wide margin because they still have to be worse than assault rifles in terms of damage. So I have to make their values fall within a certain range.

Recommended difficulty to play ZoA on?
I’m trudging along on Master now, but either my guns suck or the enemy has a ton of health. It’s a little annoying when two shots center-mass with 7.62×39 rounds can’t bring down your typical bandit.
Unless I’m not firing as accurately as I think.

Wouldn’t that make balance sort of a joke ? I can see it with unarmored targets or targets with low-tier armour like the mercenaries but having exo guys, Duty’s heavy-end dudes or heavier military / monolith guys just drop from one shot would make things a bit too easy. Or then just limiting the available ammo for the gun.
Speaking of available guns and ammo, would it technically be feasible to have the amount and type of weapons you bring in to a trader to temporarily affect the equipment of stalkers who spawn around that area ? So basically selling higher-tier rifles and ammo to guys like Sid would have a slight impact in the gear of the stalkers who roam about in the Cordon / Garbage.

question: Do the games have any kind of specific "armor penetration" characteristics for weapons / ammo yet?
I remember reading a discussion about the weapons in Stalker some time ago, and it came apparent that they mostly seemed to utilize a single "damage value" of sort, increasing it a little for AP-rounds to give impression of "better penetration" for example.
If that issue’s been "fixed" nowadays, I could suggest dropping the penetration characteristics of handgun caliber weapons, and of course the maximum range.

Not FF but I don’t think that’s possible in SoC / CS, it’s probable that the weapons can only go to either of the slots. Not to mention the balance issues.

Can’t say anything about ZoA, but I got an impression its damage values are much closer to vanilla’s than what regular AMK had (which made everything very deadly).
MASTER difficulty is always the recommended mode in STALKER games, simply because the improved damage and AI. You do want to go for the headshots as well, in vanilla even your regular rookie-bandits could take a burst of 5.45×39 from point-blank to the chest (even more in Complete), so considering that the mods do make a big difference.

Addendum: What you’re talking about there is a battle rifle, battle rifles typical use full power cartridges which have more kinetic energy than the shortened assault rifle cartridges like 7.62×39. If I knew the name of the video on youtube I would have linked you to it, it’s that one with the guy shooting watermelons with an AK, or an SKS and comparing it with the amount of energy released after shooting it with a bolt action rifle.
Of course, SCHV rounds like 5.56 and 5.45 are probably somewhere between the two despite being of a reduced caliber, but something like 7.62×51 would be pretty lethal, maybe moreso than a typical SCHV round.

First off, it depends on what you mean by "penetration."
I know the ammo types have a k_pierce value that indicates their ability to pierce cover, I do not know whether or not it makes ammo more effective at penetrating body armor.
Secondly, vanilla stalker has a value in the damages.ltx that is related to armor penetration, in vanilla it is a value somewhere that is 1.0, I don’t know which section or which file at this time, specifically, but when I was reading up on it, I read that changing that to a lower decimal than 1.0 makes AP do "bonus" damage that isn’t blocked by the armor’s protection.
In the games that value is typically left at 1.0 which makes AP effectively useless, and instead the devs just upped the damage for AP rounds.
What I’ve done in ZoA is simply increased the k_pierce variable for AP, and left its damage similar, except for 5.56×45 M995, which doesn’t fragment in tissue since its bullet is made out of solid tungsten carbide.

Sounds like he means armor penetration. There are rounds specifically for piercing armor, but supposedly all that means in the game is that they have a slightly increased damage value.

Yes they do, at least in AMK, where you may encounter even some helluva well armored Bandits if you’re unlucky; pic related.
The NPCs are just a bit "shy", so they won’t change to their new suits while you’re staring at ‘em close by.

Well yeah, that was GSC’s half-assed solution, but they may have left the potential for it in damages.ltx somewhere so that if a value for something is altered, AP can do bonus damage that isn’t blocked by the armor.
It was something I gleaned from reading a thread on the GSC forums, but now I forgot what the hell I changed. I think I should ask around there some time.

I’m unsure what to do next…I got the second document from X-16, found the freedom guy near X-16, met with the Duty agent in Army Warehouses, stole a PDA, and met with another freedom guy up in the tower in bloodsucker village.
Afterwards, I found the execution site to the northeast of the tower, but talking to them does nothing and I’m not sure what to do next. Barkeep has nothing for me, neither do any of the agents.

There’s several mods with their own, custom Bin-folder, so it’s naturally required by the mod. If you’re unsure about it, backup the original folder so you can go back to vanilla.
I remember some of such mods causing problems with Steam versions, as the service thinks the new elements as somehow "corrupted" files and thus would not let the game work, or would auto-download the original files again.

Alright, so apparently I didn’t really need to do anything other than switch the damage values of 7.62×25 with 9×18 FMJ.
The scalings I’ve come up with already work, so the average damage output of all three sub machine guns looks like this, keep in mind these aren’t the full numbers used, just the averages.
PPsh = 0.52avg
Bizon = 0.58avg
MP5 = 0.62 avg
I’m going to go test these in game and then go work on assault rifles.

Nevermind, found it. After you find the execution site, go back to just outside Lab X-16.

could you make it so that the mp5′s show up in the hands of more elite stalkers instead of rookies and bandits? it always seemed like a higher-tier weapon to me in the first place, so maybe only higher-ranking bandits or experienced stalkers should pack them.

There is a belltower thing roughly in the center of the Bar area (there is a ladder leading up to it just outside the entrance to 100 Rads), and supposedly if you drop a rucksack inside the top of the tower it will be safe. I just put mine up there, but can’t vouch how well it works yet.

I don’t know the conditions, but I put one on the tower in the center of the Bar, overlooking Duty territory. Right on the wooden planks pointing toward the Bar itself.

Oh, first time I’ve seen one like it. Also i almost died from what I guess to be a controller, but i don’t see one anywhere. There also seemed to be what looked like a bloodsucker running back and forth, but I couldn’t really tell. And some of the mercs were dead, and zombified.
(I’m coming back from x16.)

rucksacks placed somewhere high & hard/impossible for NPCs to reach are usually safe.
I set my stash up on top of the "stove-pipe" looking thing, in the middle of the pipe-construction, at the center of the BAR.
Meanwhile my RPG-7 and rockets got looted from one of the static stashes, located close to the BAR’s entrance, inside construction pipes at the ground level. Saw plenty of rookies fooling around with a rocket or two in their inventories afterwards.

Both of those are AMK. I haven’t tried SOUP but it is apparently harder than AMK and pretty unstable. So I’d stick with AMK until you finish it, then check out the harder stuff.

It’s FUCK HUGE (up to 12Gb at worst), contains areas from CS and CoP, plus some all new locations, has a metric fuckton of new content, missions, graphics … everything.

>What’s the main attraction of SOUP?
Absolutely staggering amount of content. That’s not to say that most of it even fit together or feel like they belong to STALKER at all. For example, the Soup includes things like the Physgun from HL2, Eli Vance and the Dune buggy. Lot of content, quality of which ranges from okay to god-awful. That’s a thing with a lot of russian megamods though : Slapping together a fucktonne of content, regardless of the quality of said content being wildly inconsistent. It’s also difficult and…weird. It’s STALKER on shrooms.
>Is it stable?
Hahaha, no. The load times are rather terrifying too.
I’d recommend watching OCedMyToaster’s playthrough for the Soup for a while and see if that is what you want before downloading it.

Quite odd : a lone Dutyer decided to assault the bandit tunnel during a blowout. Needlessly say, he caught me off guard and I couldn’t move a lot from the designated "safe spot" so I perished to his grenade. It’s a hard life (and short) being a bandit in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.

AMK would be closest thing to it, but it’s still far from the SOUP.

If your monitor has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, 100 fps is useless and just extra stress on your graphics card.
I’m not using VSYNC, I’m using the Frequency 60Hz option.

Occasionally he wanders all the way to the Wild Territory, where he usually ends up dying to the fucking rats, snorks or the bandits / mercs that keep sandwiching the Duty camp right at the entrance of the Wild Territory. Shit, even Yantar would be safer for him.

Newfag here, is ZRP that necessary? It’s complicated as fuck to add and the read me says that a lot of features aren’t suitable for newcomers. Wat do?

No, but you shouldn’t need to. The NPCs don’t loot them in ZRP so you’re free to leave stuff in any of the already existing stashes.

It pretty much is, and all of the features it has are optional and are turned off by default. What part of the install are you having trouble with?

There are two folders, diff and gamedata, do I just go ahead and add gamedata, combine the folders and it’s ready? What features do you suggest turning on then?

Just copy both the diff and gamedata ones to your STALKER folder, nothing else. The thing it says about combining folders is only if you have other mods installed. After copying them over, just open fsgame.ltx with a text editor, and change the false on the second line to true. And that’s it.
As for options, in the gamedata folder there is an app called modifier.exe, that’s what you use to turn settings on/off. Have a look through it and see if there’s anything you want to turn on. Most of it is self-explanatory, like there’s one that reduces the bobbing when you run, stuff like that. Just remember to click Apply each time you change something otherwise the settings don’t stick.

Anyone? I’m confused about this whole gamedata business. The readme says I should copy my current gamedata, other mod say combine, other mods even mention deleting the gamedata, and then there are motherfucking diffs which idk what they are.
Fuck, I just want to play already but I know this game is really fucked.

Gave Bes’ gun to my bro Tolik, since I don’t want to sell it and I have nowhere safe to keep it. Tolik can probably get some use out of it, maybe he’ll end up being the hero of the rookie camp.

Remember Stalker, boars can be bros too.
Does AMK have some kind of hunting AI addon? I’ve been seeing a lot of different behavior in the Zones wildlife, like Bloodsuckers hunting rats and such

Bloodsuckers chase most things, haha. I’d see them running after dogs all the time in vanilla. But AMK makes it so mutants can spawn almost anywhere, so that probably increases the chances of them running into each other.
He’ll need ammo for it too.

The anomaly locations are all changed in AMK (and then they change again each time there is a blowout), so the artifacts will be in different places than you remember.
Sid will give you a job to find a Night Star though, and then you find it near the car yard.

I still remember the first time(s) I played SoC, completely oblivious to how the game would be like. You see, even though Bes and Wolf are both these gruff, experienced stalkers who sort of function as small "mentor"-like characters, Wolf is a more traditional one, giving you a quest, some info but he pretty much stays in the relatively safe rookie village, making sure you have a stalker big bro to count on(sorta). While Bes initially fills a similar role of giving you a mission and then tips on how to survive, it’s somewhat of a shock to see that he can die to a random dog / bandit within five minutes of completing his mission (if he doesn’t during the mission, that is). That alone should make the player really nervous when unique characters are as vulnerable as the legions of generic Timka Jerkoffs.
Then you come back to the rookie village and realize that the one place you have thought to be a safe place (since it’s the starting location and all that jazz) has been raped by the military and NOWHERE IS SAFE. That’s the thing that Clear Sky really lacked since all the faction bases apart from the Bandit base in the early versions were totally safe and nobody would attack it, ever which to me was the antithesis of what I expected from the Faction Wars.

The economy isn’t really messed up. You get a lot less money for everything, but, y’know, that’s a fix. In vanilla CoP you could afford anything you ever wanted after one artifact run.

Type cam_inert 0.1
Press enter
Or go into your Documents folder, into the Stalker folder, and change cam_inert in there so you don’t have to do it manually each time you play.
And yeah the screen flying around is really annoying.

Playing SoC on my first playthrough, is it just me or is this game really shitty once you get to cherenobyl? Its shitty on the outside as you have no allies and there are a buttfuck million rpgs, and once inside its a corridor shooter with radiation the entire way and so many exo enemies it sucks. I’m not having any fun. Does anyone else agree? I kinda just want to quit now

I think OGSE adds a lot more PDA messages. The AMK ones are fairly basic, and don’t have random stuff like that.

Oh, yeah, they do carry less. You can still refresh their inventories by running a short distance away and then coming back, though, just like in vanilla, so you can stock up if you want. Not sure what you’d want to stock up on that much aside from certain ammo types, though.

OGSE adds some more news messages, but it gets pretty repetitive. The junk ones can be neat though. It did creepy pretty well with things like that, the new Fleshes, and I believe it modified blowouts as well. It doesn’t seem to do much news at all for other maps though. Just the one the player is in. Really noticeable and awkward compared to AMK’s global news.
Too bad it completely fucking broke for me during and after X-18.

Don’t try such cheats, they seldom work.
Only way to "fix" that would be loading the previous state and trying again, was just a random bug anyway.
>Also, what’s the point in -bleeding% artifacts?
You meant the red -bleeding ones? They make you more vulnerable to bleeding. Red = negative, Green = positive traits. Like said in the Starting Guide.

Nope, the green ones. Takes more bandages to remove bleeding than it does without.

You’re both right and wrong. You can carry a lot of stuff with the correct suit upgrades (+carry cap, -suit weight) and +carry cap artifacts, but if you choose +armour upgrades for your suits, their weight increases.
Plus you can’t sanic around like you used to be able to in SoC so it feels like you’re encumbered, even though you’re actually not.

Quicksave+quickload, it’ll reset his state.
>Why.
The mail jacket actually has better protection from firearms than the Merc suit and lighter at that. It’s a good idea to use the Merc suit up until the part where you get to Agroprom, then use the mail jacket for the military base or something. If you keep up a good pace, you can even complete Nimble’s mission for it when you’re coming back from the Agroprom raid. It’s a good practice to use up the mission-related weapons and armours until they are fully torn to shit before turning them in to maximize their potential.

Not the same stalker and this is for Misery but it can apply to other mods as well :
gamedata\configs\misc" and look for "dinamic_hud.ltx".
Close to the top you will see "suithud_enable = 1" change that 1 to a 0.

First, backup outfit.ltx (found in configs/misc .
Then, open it in text editor (notepad will do). Search for the exosuit and if you can find a line "sprint_allowed = false". Either change it to "true" or remove the line altogether.
Now, this is based on CoP files so I don’t know if it applies for SoC the same way but if you can find the config that handles the suit properties, I think you can do it yourself. Always make backups of the files you’re tinkering.

Heh, better hold off those thanks before you’ve confirmed that it actually works. Speaking of exos, I think it’d be neat if they had actual motor sounds as you / NPCs move about, it’s quite silly that hulking exosuit guys who are tall like a brick shithouse clad in a motorized metal exoskeleton armour can tiptoe through the irradiated tulips in complete silence.

Also I have found the said file. And also AMKmod_outfit.ltx, which apparently stores info about the AMK-exclusive suits. The freedom exo is confirmed for not being able to spring, but I’ll be able to change that. But when I opened the "outfit.ltx", I saw that:

Annnnd it works. I slapped 2nd gen NV and sprint on the freedom exo, worsened it’s carrying capability a bit and made it slightly heavier to counterbalance its two new abilities. There’s no" dynamic_hud.ltx" though.

STALKER is a series of three games, relaesed in the following order: Shadow of Chernobyl (SoC), stalker Clear Sky (CS), and stalker Call of Pripyat (CoP). It is Higly recommended to begin with SoC, since it’s the first game that was released and really give the "stalker" feel. You can buy it from Steam indeed. Just buy, download and play.
The stalker games are all about single player and survival. I never bothered with multiplayer.
I would recommend an unmodded (i.e." Vanilla") first playthrough. You can also grab the starter packs included in >>5608437
Every stalker thread begins with several copypastas. It is strongly advised to read them to know which mods are best and understand how to install them.
Good hunting stalker.

Just torrent it, the devs for the game went under so there’s no real point in buying them. There is a multiplayer but there aren’t to many american servers.

It’s possible, ZRP can do it. Possibly doable by editing files, but I wouldn’t know how to do.
First time encounters with chimeras tend to be interesting I think.

It should be fucking standard on every mod. They’re useless scenes anyway and the dialogue still plays.
At least I managed to kill the Chimera and walk around the Pseudogiant. There was another Chimera inside the complex but the military took care of that. Underground was easy, now it’s just a matter of grabbing the documents… During the blowout that started just after exiting the Underground.

So I skimmed through the thread with CTRL + F so sorry if I missed if this has been asked.
What’s the best mod for an experienced stalker to play through CoP again?
I’ve beaten CoP pretty god damn extensively. I even did a roguelike run and deleted my save if I died.
I think at one point I got that Redux mod, but I’m not sure if I beat it.
little crying anime girls get everyone’s attention easier.

I like MISERY the most. It’s stable, looks amazing and the difficulty is spot on (hard but not crushing).
What do you mean? This IS 4chan we’re talking about. Liking cute anime girls is pretty much a requirement.

My first encounter with a chimera was akward. I was behind cover, avoiding bullets from bandits, then I heard a weird noise and moved to see what it was. Turned out I was right to move because it was a chimera pouncing at me. Then I circle strafed around it and unloaded my shotgun on it, and again and again. It was a tough fight, but I think I got lucky.

was me (although that screenshot was taken after I died to it the first time). I didn’t stand a chance; was crouched down shooting at bandits with a stalkerbro next to me, next thing I know I hear a roar and instinctively turn and that thing is a few feet in front of my face, flying at me.
Yeah, it’s a shame your hands don’t reflect your armor. Maybe certain mods change it, I don’t know. But it’s like that in vanilla and AMK.

I know of some mods that do it, but I don’t know what specifically to change in order to disable them, if someone could find me a standalone mod that does it, then the process of doing it is rather easy.
Then again, I can always ask someone who already knows which files to change.

True. Doesn’t mean i had a pleasant time fighting them. That pseudo-giant still completely haunts me. I walk into a fine room expecting a bloodsucker and the ground starts shaking, i lose all my stamina for some reason and i accidently turn off my light in an attempt to get out my shotgun. It ended in me frantically shooting everywhere until the game said GAME OVER. I’m not very good at the whole killing mutants deal.

STALKER isn’t one big map. Think Bioshock – there are different levels and you travel between them. If I were to travel from Cordan to the NPP though, assuming there were no baddies or anomalies, it would take 45 minutes to an hour. There are 10 zones, not including underground stuff.

I’d say there’s way more to explore in SoC than in NV.
The overall playing area might not be larger, although it’s at a comparable level.

The last time I played Stalker (SoC) Oblivion Lost was still the king, and Complete was the new promising Kid. I loved a lot of features of OL, especially with the Arsenal mod. Complete was okay, but disappointing.
I’ve briefly played Clear Sky, didn’t care for it too much, but am willing to revisit it. I enjoyed CoP much more, but have only played with SMRTR.
Anyone have some specific mod recommendations for me, for any of the 3?
Things important to me for Stalker:
- Deadlier Encounters, Mutants, Stalkers, whatever
- Lots of Guns, with lots of modifications
- basic survival, not annoying management
- Endgame content, worthwhile faction wars, hidden stashes to search for, even just basic rp stuff to do.

Like you said.
"Step 1: Installing AMK
The first step in installing AMK is, obviously, to download the AMK 1.4 installer, as well as the 2.0.94 FINAL patch and run them. You’ll notice that AMK is heavily configurable, simply choose whichever options seem the most appealing. A few things to remember:
Your monitor resolution may not be listed among the supported resolutions. That’s fine, just pick whichever resolution is closest. I run Shadow of Chernobyl at 1600×900, for example, so I just pick 1440×900 when installing AMK and it runs fine.
The default weight capacity for Shadow of Chernobyl is 50kg. You’re free to change it to whatever you want, but 50 is what the developers intended.
Think twice before installing "post effects of being shot." The description isn’t very good, what this basically enables is that when you get shot, you’ll sometimes spin around and drop your gun. It’s meant to simulate being disoriented after taking a bullet to the chest. Some people like it because it makes the game more challenging and realistic, but it can be extremely annoying."
From http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-amk-retranslated/tutorials/installing-amk-with-amk-retranslated
But don’t do anything else there if you just want AMK, but it’s up to you. Or you can just install the starter pack’s visuals on top, which some people prefer.

You have to find three teleports (in order) to get in:
>First is at the top of the spiral stairwell filled with military grunts
>Second is in the middle of the room where you encounter the bloodsucker
>Final one is in the corridor filled with electro anomalies near the start of the level

So, I just got to the mobile lab, and got the unique suit quest, but whenever I go to the place where it’s at, I get the psi-emission. The wiki says that I’m supposed to get a reading quest from the scientist I saved, but when I talk to him, the only option is "See you!" Glitch or does the quest not come till later?

Where what’s at, the suit? You mean x16?
If you’re talking about when you escort him to do some readings, it bugs out sometimes. Reload if you can. It also bugs out if there’s zombies around you haven’t killed. (The last part is speculation, but it worked for me.)

i meant of all his dialogue options, not just the "I need a job" category. It won’t be in that category. If he really doesn’t have the option, the I don’t know what to tell you.

Sup guys. Total, total newb here. Just wanted to ask: what keeps you playing this game? I put in a few hours a few years ago, and I enjoyed the game, but it looked like a game that wouldn’t have a ton of replay value. Do mods add extra missions? Or is it about competing in that leaderboard thing? Just curious.
PS: The mods you guys are using look fucking awesome.

which STALKER game are you playing?
STALKER is really what you make of it. on top of the core game and side quests, you’ll have unique encounters, moments and run-ins with mutants, enemies or even bugs that make the game more memorable.
yeah mods do add a bit of replayability to the game. give one a try sometime!

Gotcha. So it’s an open-enough world that you get random encounters and stuff to keep it fresh.
I played the basic game with no mods. I’d try some mods, but I lack even very basic computer skills and probably wouldn’t be able to install and run them correctly. Plus I’m on a mac now.

I guess so. I went all the way back to the CNPP to see if anything interesting was happening, not much. I guess I’ll just chill and sleep in Freedom’s base to pass in-game time.
I want the names of the songs that play in Freedom’s base.

This is undoubtedly one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. The plot is spectacular and the mutants and factions are simply creative genius. The broad exploration and weapons were fulfilling too. But even through all these great things, there were some that will drive any standard gamer out the door. My general complain in any FPS is ballistic accuracy of firearms. It would have been superb if this game had ballistics like Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior or even Call of Duty 4. One shot kills as well as realistic accuracy of weapons. The survival aspect could be greatly improved. I didn’t feel as if I were fighting for my life, just blowing magazines at enemies who had no sense of self-preservation. The stealth factor too was also pathetic, which is my method of choice in any take down. There were bugs, as most games do, but I don’t rate it down for that. All in all, this game would undoubtedly be one of my favorite games if it were merely more realistic.

First-time-stalker here playing only with absolute textures. I’m on my way to the red forest for the brain scorcher quest. On the way I noticed the skirmish between the Duty and Freedom faction. Anyway I wanted to join the Freedom and soon got the "protect the border" quest.
Why is this shit so fucked bugged up. I kill all those Monolith bastards and then talk to the captain. Get my Money, quest done. And then a second "protect the border" quest pops up. Some shitty pseudodog tries to attack them but after it’s death nothing happens. When I walk back to Lukash I can only decline this quest but can’t do any further quest for them. Except those little jobs. "Kill the stalker", "obtain object X and bring it here you little bitch" and alike.
I already thought to load an older save before I enter the army warehouse and take quests for the Duty so I don’t have to deal with this. Then I have to kill the bloodsuckers again, but hey, this friggin’ grenade launcher in the basement fuck’s them up. So can any fellow stalkers here help me out with this border shit?

Also, I wish Stalker had Day Z-ish multiplayer. Hopefully Survarium will have the atmosphere of the Stalker series AND the multiplayer capabilities of Day Z.

Absolute Textures
I guess you could try to install the Absolute Nature : Summer edition on top of Misery.
>It’s pretty much the best looking game up to date.
Misery’s change of textures is an okay change (the Autumn edition of Absolute Nature was imo not "autumn" enough) but I can definitely understand people not wanting the shit-brown textures all the time. Also, the textures at Zaton are repeating and it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

Both of these are flawed examples since they are a very different type of game.

TF2′s was terrible though. They took an already flawed mechanic(achievements for weapons) and instead of doing what the players wanted, they polluted the item pool with countless worthless new weapons and gave everyone, what, ten random chances a week at 150 or so different items?
Or you can buy them today. People pretend it’s okay because Valve did it, but that’s just as bad as any shitty MMO.
No Cash Shop is good. Especially in a game you already bought.
Besides, the Vostok developers already talked about this, mentioning unique equipment and faster leveling.

I’m surprised it went on as long as it did for a bonus quest.

We’ll find out when 0.6.93 comes out later this year. Supposedly that ‘dead’ stalker in the tube in X-18 will be part of a quest, too. And apparently they’ve completely rewritten the NPC AI, which could be amazing or a total disaster. Personally I’m hoping for more to do postgame in Red Forest/Pripyat.
Wolf just died. What was he going to do with these explosives, anyway?

It’s Redux for Call of Pripyat. Unfortunately the HUD itself isn’t available standalone (though if one knows their stuff, they might be able to rip the HUD elements out of the mod and make it a standalone). Too bad since it’s something I’d prefer for SoC as well instead of the lolnohud that LURK and ZoA tend to embrace.
Another minimalist HUD that’s available for CoP is Ceano’s minimal HUD (though I prefer the red/blue contrast of the Redux HUD and it’s tiny icons) seen in this pic.

It’s possible that Skull’s group ordered the explosives they needed to blow up the wall beside the Freedom base from him. While it seems a little strange at first he doesn’t really seem to have any other use for it around the military warehouses. Of course, it might be just reserved for use after a way toward the center of the Zone is found but the deal with Skull seems to make the most sense.

Likewise, I’m a bit disappointed to find they’ve added a trader in freeplay Pripyat though. It really takes away from the feeling of being isolated deep in the zone.
>What was he going to do with these explosives, anyway?
I thought he gave them to Skull?

Is it just me who got a broken copy, or is there no sleeping in SoC unmodded? I swear i heard things about having to barricade yourself to sleep and drinking those stalker cans made you sleepmeter go up for a short while.
Does this only exist in mods/further games?

Yes. There are separate "sleeping bag mods" for both SoC and CS (almost all major mods include a sleeping bag) and in Call of Pripyat you can sleep in the main safe hubs.

I’m not sure about ‘stashes’, but I kept enough weapons for an army in the blue box in Freedom’s armory (the one with the grenade launcher), and also in the blue box in the side-room in the mobile lab in Yantar, and nobody ever disturbed them.

Seconding Yantar. No-one will use it except Kruglov, and he’s on like two missions before he’s idle.Nice double door access as well…

Does anyone else just feel…’off’ when playing CoP after playing SoC for a long time? It’s weird because the other way around is no problem (going to SoC after CoP play).
166 hours in SoC, 168 hours in CoP according to Steam…and 30 in CS. There’s just something about how SoC handles that I like better.

I just feel SoC induces more paranoia.
The fact that it is semi-sandbox while still on rails may aid in that. Like an situation where you suspect you may not have free will.
