[QUOTE=Fuxed;43862751]I hate to do the "mod questions" thing but I've logged my fair share of Vanilla CoP and put plenty hours into Misery 1.2 and 2+ but somehow I'm completely oblivious to the other mods available. So, what's a good 'expanded vanilla' experience when it comes to Call of [del]Dut-[/del], I mean Pripyat?
Absolute's a given but what about gameplay? Pripyat Reborn or MSO combined with OWR or Arsenal? I'm a bit lost.[/QUOTE]

There you go. PM me about any questions you may have man! I'd be happy to be of any help!
[QUOTE=11meister;43862823]And this. Is why I learnt to mod. :wink: Time to crack open those ltx's.[/QUOTE]
Oh that is the first thing I do with any mod :D
[QUOTE=LoNer1;43862588]I can't but agree with you. The 1911 is my favourite weapon. I even own one (airsoft, though) just like a P99.
I'll see wether (when I've merged OWR with MISERY after our release, which is soon hehehe) the M1911 uses the correct amount. It buggs me, too. I once played a mod where the SIG550 used 20 rounds, instead of 30, which made me get rid of it. I hate it when people do that. Or stuff like the AS VAL with 45 / 30 / 20 rounds. It's originally 20, but seeing as we're in damn 2014 now, why not 30? I mean ... 900 RPM with 20 rounds?[/QUOTE]
I think, unlike the SR-3, the VSS and VAL were never really intended to be used on full auto. The 30 round magazines work with the VSS and VAL, but the 30 round magazines only exist because of the Vikhr. Having the VAL default to 20 rounds and upgrade to 30 makes a lot of sense in that context. But I also don't really understand the purpose of the VAL compared to the VSS in reality, so who knows?

Actually, the SIG 550 in Stalker is modelled with a 20 round magazine.
[QUOTE=11meister;43855522]Get.
A.
FAL.
:dance:
Weapon choices tend to be pretty much down to personal taste. But if I had to pick just one weapon under the catagory 'battle rifle' - it'd be a FAL varient any day, in-game or IRL. If the FAL in Missouri dosn't preform up to scratch, just edit that ltx!
o-o Dat water shading.[/QUOTE]
I noticed the FAL in Misery had lower "damage" (because we dont get to know what damage stands for unlike the ammo description) than other lower caliber rifles. And its true, I took a couple of shots more than with a 5.56 or 5.45 to kill a bandit, and we´re talking about 7.62x51 ladies and gentlemen
But hey, up till Prypiat, all you need is love, I mean, a Colt, because EVERYONE goes down with 3 well placed shots to the chest. Armor? No problem, get some uranium depleted ammo and call it a day.
Lots of mutants in Iron Forest? No problem, just get a load of F1 grenades and call it a day.
Having problems with the poltergeist? Well, you do have a problem here because until you don´t buy a pot with aluminium foil inside you won´t be getting anywhere
I've been getting this crash when playing SoC that happens while I'm accessing this one stash in Pripyat. The stuff that's copied to my clipboard is:

Damn, [URL="http://www.whq-forum.de/cms/uploads/pics/sig550-01.jpg"]you're right[/URL].
I swear STALKER is the only game series with more people modding the game than playing it
Don't hate me for asking, but how in the hell am i supposed to get more than the one Veles detector from that mission in Zaton? I found another off of a dead Dutyer, but no luck finding a third yet. And no, i'm not gonna murder people for their shit, i let them kill each other first.
Also fuck pseudogiants, they're all over Zaton and Jupiter, i was so happy to get Topol and his men out alive after that controller nearly got them, went and did some missions for Trapper, went to dump my loot, and i found their bodies scattered around the science bunker, with a wounded giant stomping around it.
Forgot to mention that i'm in Misery 2.1.

Speaking of handgun calibers and the damage they can do. We need some 10mm guns in Stalker.
10mm > .45 ACP

A round like that wouldn't be too common in the zone.
[B]Also, zombini[/B],
You'll need to murder people for those, especially high ranked NPCs. You won't find one easily like that.
[QUOTE=LoNer1;43867485]A round like that wouldn't be too common in the zone.

.50 AE isnt that common either, but it's still there.
To be honest, that would kinda balance the 10mm out because of the sheer stopping power it has :v:
Even though it wouldn't be common, the people that can pay for it would look for it.

It can also make you think about buying that +10 rounds upgrade no one ever gets with most of the weapons. So yes, that is definitely interesting regarding gunplay and ammo control. (And not because the real magazine can not carry more than 20 bullets. Realism for the sake of realism without any gameplay or visual improvement is boring.)

Tbh the larger rounds should be a bit more effective against flesh than they are, if just for gameplay reasons; to make it worthwhile to lug around a heavier rifle with heavier ammunition. No gun should be completely outclassed by another that is available at the same point in the game (except for the rusted and worn ones, obv.), else there's no point in adding them in the first place. That having been said, at least according to the game files, the 7.62x51 weapons I checked do a bit more fleshy damage than the 5.56 guns, plus the armour-piercing capability of 7.62 ammo is better.

That's kinda shitty. Oh well, time to see what my Green Dragon with DU rounds can do vs an exoskeleton. Never really liked Duty anyways.

An alternate mechanism to this could be how we handle Nimble in MISERY. You can order ammo from him as well so he'll deliver it within a day or 2, for a pretty heft price. Heh, It would be easily doable.
Ill look into the idea, for now .. I'm working on [B]Gunslinger[/B] with WolfKOTTO

[QUOTE=1239the;43867765]tell him he's a national treasure[/QUOTE]
Yea. Hah.
In all honesty, he's a pretty darn good team leader. He knows how to let the team know what to do. Not so much bossy as strict. I think this will be one of the few Russian mods all polished up when it releases.

It would mean we'd have to get a 10mm capable weapon into the mod.
Colt, D&W, S&W, Glock ... not so many variations :v:
[editline]11th February 2014[/editline]
Maybe give some high ranked Duty guys the Colt Delta Elite and a little bit of ammo for it. And with Nimble you could order even more, but at a hefty price?
Just brainstorming here

Iirc SIG also made a 10mm variant of the 226 or 228 (might be wrong though.)
There is also a MP5 variant that uses 10mm
[IMG]http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/3/33/MP540.jpg/400px-MP540.jpg[/IMG]
You don't need to have many guns using 10mm (again, referring to .50 AE with only like one or two guns capable of using it.) Since it's allready going to be one of the more expensive and hard to get calibers.
You could do that. Plus giving mercs the MP5 10mm and the Glock?
And Nimble selling 10mm ammo at a hefty price would be a good idea. Again, the cost of the ammo could outweight its perfomance balance wise.
[B]Edit:[/B] Apparently there is 2 different glocks in 10mm. The Glock 20 and the more compact Glock 29, there is also a Bren Ten and some Italian pistol called Tanfoglio T95 in 10mm apparently.
There is even a S&W revolver in 10mm :v:
[B]Double Edit:[/B] Okay so apparently I was wrong about SIG having made a 10mm Auto variant of any of their guns.
But from what I could quickly gather, it's rather easy to convert a 226 or 228 to firing 10mm because the .357 SIG have roughly the same measurements.
Could be a possible conversion upgrade?
LoNer1, is Noah supposed to not exist? I gotta get a Compass from him, but he's not at the barge and there's no indicator on the PDA map.

Bethesda titles would give it a run for its money.

Some might agree, but do mind;
[I]None of the STALKER games are on console.[/I] Don't forget about that. [U]Purely player-base wise[/U], Bethesda beats GSC by a long shot, so it's an unfair comparison.
Also, I don't think Fallout and STALKER have ANYTHING alike. The one's an RPGFPS, while the other is just an FPS. The one is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, where as the other is a (not so much 1:1) recreation of a real world event :v:

It's a good thing most of the Bethesda title modders don't care about stalker. If they did, we'd have a Stalker Nexus filled with female stalkers with tits the size of watermelons. :v:
Anyways, I've been looking at that Stalker HD Project and I really can't understand what the hell the author is trying to do. 90% of the stuff that has been done recently just looks really fucking bad and most of it doesn't even look HD.

That's the guy who can't take criticism and removes all of the 'I don't like this because of X valid reason' comments and spammed my inbox with saying:"PRZ2 is shit you're shit fuck you and all who think my mod is bad"
I've also been following it. [I]It actually reminds me of any generic shitpool mod starting with adding already used stuff and claiming it to be new[/I]. Kind of how stuff like REBORN surfaced etc
