[QUOTE=exostalker;31131015]Hello everyone! I'm new here, but I'm not new to stalker, I have been registered to various other stalker pages for years now :) Just wanted to be a part of this page too, because as I can see it's really active in here, not like in other forums :)[/QUOTE] hey bro :D

[QUOTE=exostalker;31131277]No it will not[/QUOTE] Fuck you duty guy you won't get your gun back :v: Thanks for the help

[QUOTE=Mr. Kyle;31131610]I hope I'm not being bothersome but could someone help me with my difficulty problem with Redux. It seems that Master is not being replaced with the Redux difficulty and I really have no clue what I should do.[/QUOTE]Try reinstalling it.

I have? Maybe I'm being stupid but is the difficulty setting supposed to SAY Redux or is master the Redux difficulty?

[QUOTE=Mr. Kyle;31131669]I have? Maybe I'm being stupid but is the difficulty setting supposed to SAY Redux or is master the Redux difficulty?[/QUOTE] i think so . cant remmember for sure

[QUOTE=Mr. Kyle;31131669]I have? Maybe I'm being stupid but is the difficulty setting supposed to SAY Redux or is master the Redux difficulty?[/QUOTE] [B]When starting a new game[/B], it should read like this in the difficulty select screen : DO NOT USE DO NOT USE DO NOT USE REDUX [editline]wergu[/editline] I don't think it changes "master" to "redux" in game options, just when you're starting a new game. Besides your menu should say "Call of Pripyat : Redux" and have the Bar music from Clear Sky playing. You should try a manual install. I don't know if you have to mess with the fsgame.ltx if you're playing the Installer version but if you haven't changed the $game_data$ = true| false| to $game_data$ = true| true| I think you should try that (unless you already have).

It does not read like that, so I'm pretty much stumped.

If it doesn't say the new difficulty settings then it means it's not installed properly, and it's likely nothing else will work properly either. You must be installing it wrong somehow, it needs to create the gamedata folder in your main CoP directory.

[QUOTE=tommo400;31130868]The gamedata folder isn't there though, there's just a bunch of files labelled gamedata.db0, gamedata.db1 etc. And there's fsgame.ltx [b]Edit:[/b] Got it working using the download, then changed it to up the carrying limit to 70, hopefully that'll make it a bit easier without removing the challenge altogether. Thanks for the help![/QUOTE] Wow sorry to keep asking questions, but despite my carry limit being increased, my guy seems to be running out of stamina really quickly, as if he was over his limit (depsite carrying around 60 out of 70kg). Anyone know what could cause this, is there another value I have to edit?

[QUOTE=Gum;31131989]There's a line for the maximum amount of weight you can carry and another for the weight limit which, if exceeded, will make you lose stamina very fast while running. For example, in vanilla you have these set to 60kg and 70kg.(If my memory doesn't fail me, which it often does.)[/QUOTE] The max_item mass and max_walk weight ? I'm trying to edit these myself but so that it matches what it was in Redux. The Swartz mod feels pants-on-head retarded because you can practically [I]fly[/I] from place to place in the beginning and that's really weird after LURK and Redux.

Another thing to note is that there's absolutely NO reason to be over the weight limit.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;31131941]The more you carry, the quicker your stamina depletes regardless of whether it's over the limit or not.[/QUOTE] Oh, that's odd, because before I upped the carrying limit, when I was under the limit my stamina didn't decrease at all unless I was sprinting. Or maybe I just didn't notice it...

Well, I started making a comic, might be on by somtime this weekend/next week.

[QUOTE=croguy;31130145]It gets even worse in normal CS because base NPCs respawn as long as another faction did not occupy it the instant the last one died. [/QUOTE] Fuck sake I took out the Duty base on my own 5 times after sprinting between the two camps at the entrances from the Garbage for an hour and a half taking out the Duty reinforcements as the Freedom squads got stoned and played grab-ass. [editline]15th July 2011[/editline] Still got my exoskeleton though :buddy:

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;31132238]It's 50 and 60.[/QUOTE] Indeed, but I upped mine to 70 and 100, but I seem to start struggling around the 60 mark. Oh well not a huge deal I just wasn't sure why it was happening.

Why so much extra space? I'm able to carry 2 suits armor, a shotgun, a pistol, a sniper rifle, and an assault rifle plus ammo for each, over 1k for the AR, and still come in under weight. That's with only the +10 carry weight upgrade on my SEVA suit which I swap out for CS3a when shit starts up.

I always keep my loadout under 15 kilos. Preferably under 10.

[QUOTE=Blaberry;31132407]I always keep my loadout under 15 kilos. Preferably under 10.[/QUOTE] Real stalkers don't even have a loadout.

I can't stand leaving stuff I might possibly use, plus I like having an abundance of ammo. [editline]15th July 2011[/editline] I might lower it again once I've got a better feel of the game, I'm still very much new to it all

My average is usually 30. One suit of all-round armor, two rifles, pistol, ammo for all, and misc stuff like bandages and shit.

[QUOTE=croguy;31132447]Real stalkers don't even have a loadout.[/QUOTE] Played some SoC without ever talking to wolf. Made it to agroprom as a peaceful stalker.

LURK taught me how to fit everything under 35kg, and even then I only hit that mark when doing extensive story quests like Red Forest or X-16. Every other time I go out with 25kg and come back with ~38, the extra being stuff I want to sell like artifacts.

Twenty shotgun shells is plenty. Pistol? I'm assuming you use the shotgun as primary, so I advice on eight shells of buckshot and twelve slugs.

Does anyone know how you can change the inventory to correspond with my new weight limits ? [editline]durr[/editline] Urgh, my attempt at making Swartz mod visually bearable failed because I can't incorporate Variation mod into it [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-eng99.gif[/img] I can't see the mod going in any decent direction since the general consensus seems to be : [QUOTE=Some guy;31132833]I remember some smug guy joined SA to advertise his "COP Redux" mod months ago. People (me) were questioning his changelog decisions, which included gems like "made mutants more realistic", and he got VERY pissy. And then right before Redux was released the SGM fad took off in this thread, and the two people or so that bothered ot try Redux had universally negative opinions about the changes, since he had nerfed every single aspect of the player's experience in favor of difficulty.[/QUOTE] [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-geno.gif[/img]

I don't know how you manage with so little ammo. I'm guessing you stay out of hubs for only very short periods of time. I usually stalk around the Zone, looting everything and carrying all kinds of odds and ends with me for long expanses of time, until I return to the Bar to sell my loot and restock on food and medicals. Usual load out for me: SEVA/Bulat/Sunrise suit (I only use Exos if it's CoP.) Assault rifle ~300 5.45/5.56 (Depends on the weapon, obviously.) Shotgun (I leave it out if the weight limit has been lowered, like in LURK.) 60-80 buckshot (No slugs, I find them worthless.) 5-3 medkits of any kind (10 if I know I'll be getting shot at often.) 10 bandages (20 or more in CS.) 5 anti-rads (Left out if I have anti-rad artifacts.) 3 loaves of bread (Nothing in CS.)
