S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: "A Typical Day In The Zone" - Games

[QUOTE=dedo678;49022141]I like it, puts me on edge during every firefight.[/QUOTE] exactly how "bad" is it? Because thinking about it now, its also one of the whines I used to hear about MISERY all the time, and I loved the action in MISERY.

Is there a way to edit your Call of Chernobyl save to make some faction neutral again?

[QUOTE=Zeroarmorclo;49040170]Is there a way to edit your Call of Chernobyl save to make some faction neutral again?[/QUOTE] You're not able to edit saves no for all I know.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;49040214]You're not able to edit saves no for all I know.[/QUOTE] You can change your faction manually by editing axr_options [quote=COC FAQ]Q: Can I change factions or my character name? A: Call of Chernobyl does not have such features in-game. But you are welcome to change your faction or name through gamedata\axr_options.ini. Here is an example: [temp] new_game_character_name = Alundaio new_game_faction = dolg Simply load your save and the changes will take effect. Here are a list of valid faction names: stalker bandit csky dolg freedom army monolith ecolog killer [/quote] Also, 1.2 patch for the currently released AO3 for CoC is out. [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/arsenal-overhaul-3-for-coc-1224[/url] mega:///#F!EFlgjDrS!KQ7oAMKp1ycsmiQ3mWnfLg!8FtDQL7Q

So, after an insanely long hiatus of playing the Stalker games I picked up CoC because it's like the 'mod' to play right now it seems. Installed it, patched and installed Arsenal Overhaul but is there anything else I should look for to make the game maybe a tad more difficult or refined maybe?

Fucking crazy god damn wizards making the types of things you'd normally see games take sequels to get as features

Duty wiped out Freedom in my game and now Duty and Loners occupy the Warehouses. (Although I still had to kill Lukash, Skinflint, and Screw for anyone to occupy past the front gate.) [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/Ai864sj.jpg?1[/img_thumb]

Also is faction wars worth installing for CoC I do feel despite all these maps that the zone isn't nearly lively enough.

[QUOTE=spekter;49044701]Mods? Also is faction wars worth installing for CoC I do feel despite all these maps that the zone isn't nearly lively enough.[/QUOTE] I'm using almost all the mods from the repo, and I'm using STCSWP as my weapon mod. If you think the Zone isn't lively enough a faction war mod is pretty fun. There's nothing like grabbing a squad of Dutiers to go off to Jupiter and camp out.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;49042989][video=youtube;XqauOnILSAs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqauOnILSAs[/video][/QUOTE] fuck me

does faction war for CoC require the alife unbalance?

I dunno honestly, I haven't gotten it to work for me. I just use the Alife 2.0 mod in the CoC repo and AO3. When I try to add the faction war mod it crashes creating a new game.

There seems to be an error in the logic. Does this happen when loading a save or newgame start?

Which is considered the better weapons mod? STCSWP or AO3? I'm liking STCSWP a lot but AO3 does have some weapons that I really like.

Well, It's that my PC crashed. I can't look into my own files :v: Sorry mate, but only Alun can help out I guess. I'd compare the 2 scripts side by side with Beyond Compare / WinCompare, if you can get your hands on it. Notepad++ also has this option, but i find the first 2 to be easier to use / more visually appealing. Also, [B]OGSE 0.6.9.3 SOON[/B] [QUOTE]Hello everyone! We've got some news. First - we've got some new weapons. Best you can get for STALKER: SHOC (we've looked all of it). And, more important, new guns were adapted for new addon system. Now you will be able to use multiple addons with one weapon. Got AK74? Need scope? Use UPO-1 (1P29) scope. Looking for night vision while aiming? Consider 1PN51 scope. Need better handling? Get tactical grip! There are various collimators and even ACOG scope that can be used through attachable Picatinny rail. One gun - plenty of options. Second - new quests. Now there is something strange and evil in City-32 and it's waiting for you. Get to the city that really dead and try to survive. Somebody there can help you though. New ending - it's epic. You'll need help for various forces presented in STALKER. Try to get all reinforcements you can, and win battle for Generators. Oops, that's little more than i should say... And last. Mod is ready. It's good, stable and completable. We're can't wait to share it with you. But there is one thing remains to be done - translation. English translation is done for 70% but it's not enough. So we need your help. If you can translate russian text to english (or other language) and want to help, please feel free to contact with me through PM. We're planning to release standalone multilanguage version of OGSE and your contribution can really speed it up. Cheers! [/QUOTE] And lastly, [B]Echo Of Chernobyl 3[/B]; a new mod for SHoC which looks very promising.

For a mod of SHOC, that looks amazing. Also, decided to do a thing to axr_companions [t]http://i.imgur.com/7xKLZsP.jpg[/t] Aptly lead by a stalker called Prophet. We shall cleanse the zone. [sp]Unless a retard throws a grenade and kills us all[/sp] [editline]4th November 2015[/editline] Oh my god I can't stop laughing at this mod's google translated RU to ENG text trying to explain the mod. I still don't know what is going on. [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/echo-of-chernobyl-3[/url] There's an Echo of Chernobyl 2, which can be found here. [url]http://www.moddb.com/groups/stalker-100-rads-bar/images/echo-of-chernobyl-2-shoc-eng-rus[/url] It's in the comments for the picture, along with fixes and translation.

why is it every weapon mod i try can't do reflex/holosights to save their fucking life??? In AA for shoc, the kobra sights on AKs literally look like someone painted a chevron onto the glass, making it near useless in low-light situations. Other mods Ive looked at have the same problem with EOtechs and aimpoints from what I can see.

Because no one uses the selflight shader

The part where they 'enter' cordon is amazing. Left me speachless. I recommend you all to just sit this one out. It's breathtaking where STALKER is going.

What map are they showing exactly? An in-between map? It has pieces stitched in from various other areas though, including Agropom Underground without a loading screen.
