[QUOTE=Beacon;40272031]yay for reworked and moved stashes in redux[/QUOTE] Unless they are super difficult to find, reach, or they just contain food, health, and ammo, then it will be just as exploitable as the default ones.

[QUOTE=Linkmister;40272619]Does anyone have a link to Doom's mod merge for Shadow of Chernobyl by any chance? The website seems to be done and I have a friend who wants to try it out.[/QUOTE] [url]http://files.1337upload.net/fs_mod_merge_v0.7.rar[/url]

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;40272645]Unless they are super difficult to find, reach, or they just contain food, health, and ammo, then it will be just as exploitable as the default ones.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure they're using SoC/CS style stashes.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;40272751]Pretty sure they're using SoC/CS style stashes.[/QUOTE] Where they appear in boxes and bags or where you need the PDA that shows where they are for them to spawn?

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;40272756]Where they appear in boxes and bags or where you need the PDA that shows where they are for them to spawn?[/QUOTE] Boxes and bags. Where the loot is created and added to the container once you find the stash note. So basically there'll be dynamic stashes.

Reinstalled CoP to my SSD, fast load times ahoy! Now what mod should I get?

[QUOTE=Fausty;40273153]Reinstalled CoP to my SSD, fast load times ahoy! Now what mod should I get?[/QUOTE] complete [sp]you see how witty I am?[/sp]

yea real fuckin hilarious thanks for the help downloading complete edit; no offences

[QUOTE=Fausty;40273153]Reinstalled CoP to my SSD, fast load times ahoy! Now what mod should I get?[/QUOTE] All the Absolute Texturepacks, AtmosFEAR, maybe CoP RELOADED. Redux is also a popular choice, so is Misery (WARNING about Misery: If you don't install the Absolute textures over-top of it, you will notice a shitload of BROWN.)

wow rude In all seriousness though, Dooms Mod Merge is nice, Redux, Swartz mod, SGM if you want a Russian mod. Dooms mod merge link - [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Dooms_CoP_Mod_Merge_v0.1_1.rar[/url] Install absolute nature lite over it, and Teh Zip File uploaded some fixes on the last page. It depends on what you want though, if you want a more realistic mod, Redux and maybe Misery. If you want lots of content, SGM. If you want a mix of content and actually good gameplay with less fucked up balancing, swartz. If you want a gameplay overhaul, dooms mod. I really do recommend you try dooms mod though. [sp]dooms mod is really good[/sp] [sp]i'm obsessed with it[/sp]

getting misery

I'm playing through AMK for the first time (First time playing a modded STALKER game, actually), and man, sometimes this mod just doesn't let up. I was just in Wild Territory, running away from 2 bloodsuckers, when I turned a corner into a psuedogiant. I changed my direction and ran away from all three of them, and turned a corner into a building... where 5 bandits were waiting for me. This mod is great.

What is Doom's Mod Merge for CoP and SoC exactly?

[QUOTE=Warriorx4;40273684]What is Doom's Mod Merge for CoP and SoC exactly?[/QUOTE] Doom's merge for SoC is a freeroam LURK where you pick what faction you want to be at the start Doom's merge for CoP is Call from Pripyat + some mods to add more NPCs, Atmosfear 3, sound mods, ect.

[QUOTE=Beacon;40272031]yay for reworked and moved stashes in redux[/QUOTE] I'd prefer if stashes popped up AFTER you got the stash realization. The stash wasn't [I]always[/I] there.

[QUOTE=Fausty;40273526]getting misery[/QUOTE] GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER!

[QUOTE=Hammer7;40274188]GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER![/QUOTE] Whats wrong with misery?

[QUOTE=kaukassus;40274466]Whats wrong with misery?[/QUOTE] overhyped + ~dramatic and deep~ media and brown

[QUOTE=Keyblockor;40273994]I'd prefer if stashes popped up AFTER you got the stash realization. The stash wasn't [I]always[/I] there.[/QUOTE] I'd like a stash system like CoP's where they're always there, but their locations are randomized when you start the game, like the tools in SGM. So if you find a stash you can loot it, but that stash won't be there on every playthrough. I'm not sure if that's even possible to do.

Is there any fix for bullet sponges and the dice roll ballistics in Clear Sky? I feel like I'm playing DnD sometimes.

[QUOTE=kaukassus;40274466]Whats wrong with misery?[/QUOTE] What's wrong with Complete? TZP are doing all for ~realism~, but it seems too realistic for me to deal with Captain Cheekie Breekie, who takes 4 direct mosin shots to the head and don't give a single fuck about it. Also their super kewl weapon camos makes me cringe.

I really want to play SoC again but I'm torn between OGSE and the old version of LURK. I've also considered People Soup but it fucks my RAM sideways. Any recommendations?

Once I'm in Pripyat, I started hoarding valuable weapons again :v: [editline]14th April 2013[/editline] Also somehow a Chimera decided to appear in the left building during the mission with Tarasov. RIP.

[QUOTE=Araknid;40274907]why did you not post about it earlier What's new?[/QUOTE]I [I]did[/I] post about it earlier :v: contains bug fixes.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;40275578]I [I]did[/I] post about it earlier :v: contains bug fixes.[/QUOTE] fuck what

SGM 2.2 is a fucking piece of shit. I fucking give up on it. -Broken ironsights on a lot of weapons (even with the widescreen fix posted some pages back, I still get ironsights like [URL="http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/578985893152464378/B908A20B9CA6A98804DE019A70261F4D9FB22C4B/"]this[/URL] far too often) -Stupid fucking pacing. Yeah let me use my starting 74u with four mags to kill 20 bandits effectively all by myself. Oh I want that mine detector to get to the actual part of the game, let me run across the swamps and the cordon twice over and then be forced to pay 10,000 rubles instead of fixing my now-falling apart weapons. -Horrible quest logic. "search for the corpse of this dude SOMEWHERE IN THE CAMP! The c4 to open the door to him will only spawn AFTER you find the door his corpse is hidden behind, and then the quest updates as if it progressed even though there's no logical jump from 'find corpse' to 'find explosives to blow the door open'" -The broken autosaves. At one point you're tasked to deliver "fireworks" to some dude out on the middle of nowhere in Zaton. No problem. Yet as soon as I finish the dialogue giving him his fucking explosives, I get an autosave. Great! Except for the part where he immediately blows up afterward. If I don't manage to walk away from him before that happens (I seriously avoided his suicide-bombing on accident) then I'm stuck in an infinite loading loop, where my nearest save is the one where I instantly die. -The mines scattered all over the place. There are mines EVERYWHERE for NO REASON out in Zaton, and the minesweeper you're given is useless because they're not below ground herp derp. I actually got caught in an infinite loop with my quick save on these, because right when I thought "man SGM is gonna throw some inane bullshit at me in a sec" and tapped f5, CLICK! and guess what the save before that was? Yeah, the fireworks. -Seemingly bulletproof enemies. This somewhat ties into the problem that only I seem to experience, where a lot of animations NPCs do feature invincibility frames, such as when they're recoiling from getting shot, or they're about to throw a grenade. As part of some mission for "sword" to kill a bandit and his thugs, the leader was in an exosuit. Fine! Except for the part that he was still standing after roughly 200 AP rounds to the everything above his belt and 50 buckshot exclusively to his head. I don't even know how I got him to fall down and die.

In short: Don't play 2.2

Are all guns at the start of Sgm supposed to be made out of papier maché? Because I have to find a new gun at the end of most fights since they start jamming so much.
