S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians

[Slim Charles]

is there any mods for COP that fix the thing where if you're in third person your gun shoots where you were last aimed in first person.

[QUOTE=Carlito;46605285]Are the guns as ridiculously inaccurate in DMM:AE as they are in vanilla SoC? I'm getting pretty sick of expending a full clip and hitting someone three times.[/QUOTE]
DMM(at least regular,don't know about AE) uses L.U.R.K gunplay mechanics so weapons are generally really accurate, but they have a lot of recoil.

I didn't record it the first time, but the guy wasn't at the counter, I hear "I'll be right with you" Then he pops up and shoots me in the face and I died.

Oh man, AO 2.4 seems to increase spawns of a lot of NPC/mutants. On top of that the stash contents seem to be changed, and I have the hostile bandit addon too so this should be a pretty dangerous CoP.

AO 2.4 has some really great sounds that enhance the firefights. And fuck I can't imagine having to use the FOV switcher again, FOV console command is just too damn convienent.

Also as an aside, playing AA 2.1 for ShoC and for some reason the suits no longer change your arm texture :(

It doesn't remove the vanilla problem of non-respawning strongholds though. Once you pop the bandit/merc bases in Zaton or Yanov they become ghosttowns.

Kinda wish someone would try to merge it with MSO... but maybe that upcoming Pripyat Reborn merge will do just that? (Not sure if it does. Seems to be on the same vein as MSO, but not sure if it includes base respawns.)

Also, unrelated:

... There really needs to be a timer or something on these Alpha Squads (SGM 2.1 Integrated). Because this is [U]ridiculous[/U].

Basically, I went to the bandit base to do the mission for sword (had to go in the back way though due to two alpha squads on the road). Thought I could eliminate and loot the bandit base before that, but noooooo. Alpha squads popped right in. And after they'd died, more spawned right outside.

One hell of a battle, between the bandits and the alpha squaddies. Honestly think I bagged more Alphas than I did bandits (and there's like 15 bandits in the whole base, counting the commander who takes more bullets than the Alphas even)

Thank god for that little cubby in the corner. And shotgun (had 100 rounds when I started, and I was down to about 17 when I finished, had to use a quikcly looted AK-74 for the remainder of them.

And just as a final kicker, I get back to the Skadovsk (after seeing the guys that were supposed to help me run up the road because I'd taken the back way in. Way to help out with the bandits, guize :rolleyes:) to sell all the loot (I had to stash a lot of it). Sell a buttload, look out the back...

2 more Alpha Squads. :suicide:

In all seriousness though, As rediculous as this is, I do love the alpha squad feature, and really start to miss it in other mods (AO 2.4, Shoker, etc.)

the way the gun subtly sways around when you move

[QUOTE=brenz;46612560]What am I supposed to turn my attention to in that video?[/QUOTE]

The gun sways correctly with your actions (move, lean, aim) instead of having a seizure.

[I]The CHN-3h is one of the new helmets we’re adding, generally paired with (as the name suggests) the CHN-3 armoured suit. Clear Sky equipment is generally of excellent quality, so much so that most mechanics won’t be able to upgrade it without a copy of the blueprints of the original design. That’s all part of a mission chain we’re working on, but for now we've let Cardan perform all the upgrades just to simplify testing.[/I]

[QUOTE=Beacon;46599286]any plans to release your CoC work separately after release mate?[/QUOTE]

We have plans to release the raw level data. As for script changes, probably not. The only script changes that would benefit any mod, even existing mods, are the new gulag/smart_terrain changes. It cuts loading time down, increases FPS and lowers memory usage. Maybe I will rip that out, at some point, and create a standalone with it.

Ah I meant specifically your scripting. Those improvements sound excellent, it would be great if you did release them!

[editline]2nd December 2014[/editline]

Or at least, could explain how you did it so we can implement similar changes as well :)

That sounds great, as CoP's loading times can be a bitch for me sometimes compared to CS or ShoC

[NikolaT]

The cycle of MISERY continues. Get to yanov, do some missions, get some dosh, look into new weapons, wish I had a different loadout in general, start new game.

Going to do a recon playthrough, never really played recon, and I wanted the SMGs but I never really could use them because I played sniper.

[Beacon]

alun, are you guys using modified CoP source in CoC?
