How is the faction war addon for CoC? Shit, decent, or good?
cont.
I have no doubt that they're able to manipulate humans, as the emissions are evidently on the first phase of brainwashing.
But I'm skeptical that they're taking the raw psychic emissions from noosphere and using it to fry some stalkers brains in just the right way as to make them susceptible to brainwashing.
The Generators level isn't canon, the emissions really are just flooding in straight from the noosphere - I don't see how the CC could actually manipulate it then. But then again how is the CC 'bottling' up the emissions? Dunno, maybe the Generators are canon but were cut because GSC got lazy.
>>121006721
Yeah that's what just occurred to me, it would make sense if the emissions are coming straight from the noosphere - if it's a semi-'natural' phenomenon then it would be possible that it's strong enough to fry some brains but some are resistant, like Scar. The CC might just take advantage of this fact to bolster the ranks of its guardians.
>>121005101
The zone being sentient could be considered in any way canon - which is possible because it's hinted repeatedly in dialogue in all games and inthe original story of CS it was a crucial plot point - then Lebedev was probably correct.
The Zone doesn't want all of these strange stalkers crawling around inside it - especially when you consider it might not being trying to physically protect itself, but because it's a purely psychic entity (after all it was born from a crack in the psychosphere) it's probably reacting, consciously or unconsciously, to rid itself of psychic pollutants.
After all, the zone was created by the CC trying to remove negative traits in humans. Why would The Zone enjoy having its guts infested with them?
Maybe The Zone is just a misunderstood babby trying to find its way in the world but keeps getting psychically shit on by humans.
>>121008341
>The zone being sentient could be considered in any way canon
But that's wrong, anon.
I just told you why.
The C-Consciousness controlled the Zone, it wasn't the Zone who controlled itself.
Did you ever talk with the C-Consciousness agent inside the Monolith Control Room or what?
They control everything, what they can't control is the Noosphere, and the general anomalous events that follow their attempts to control it.
That's how it works.
Lebedev was wrong, the Zone is not sentient, these are just conjectures.
>>121008309
>mod feature
You know you haven't played Stalker in a long time when a modded feature feels like it would've been in the base game.
>>121008702
There are no real correlations between Monolithians and zombies.
The first being normal stalkers brainwashed, the latter being just lobotomized people.
Do they speak Russian or Ukrainian in the game?
I want to learn Russian sometime and I'm wondering if I'd be able to understand any of the campfire conversations and such.
>>121008878
Ukrainian, of course.
>>121008614
>The C-Consciousness controlled the Zone, it wasn't the Zone who controlled itself.
It's clearly spelled out in the games if you paid attention: The C-Con you saw in SoC was desperate to reverse what it had set in motion, the zone was a byproduct of their wacky soviet science experiments with psychic fields and the Noosphere. The zone and it's anomalies are a totally different thing altogether, think of it like accidentally opening Pandora's box.
>>121009057
No, it is not.
You are clearly mistaking the conjectures of Lebedev\various stalkers with the true, scientific nature and explanation of the Zone that is given to you by the C-C agent itself.
Stalker tales and facts are rather different, anon.
The story of the zone and everything is pretty detailed if you read the rumors, stories and even the novels (in ukrainian and russian, of course), but everything you need is just in the base games.
The C-C tried to tamper with the Noosphere energy with no success, other than provoking the first great emission that spawned the zone and everything else.
After that, their goals were aimed to contain the Zone while still trying to manipulate the Noosphere itself for their goals.
It didn't work, shit was dope, they were just handling something they didn't fully understand.
>>121008614
Yeah except that doesn't make sense. Ignoring everything about the zone being sentient being in STALKER 2 and CS, as well as the generic hints towards it.
When I say the zone and The Zone that's deliberate. The cc says the zone - as in the anomalies, artifacts, mutants and general weird shit - are just a side effect of what the did, caused a crack in the Noosphere. "The underlying problem is far greater than you can imagine." What they mean is the shit that's kicking around the zone, including the emissions, is not actually that bad considering what the CC did - or what they knew they did.
It's not the noosphere that's the problem, everywhere but the zone the noosphere is just fine, it's not like the CC fuckup has enraged the entire noosphere - because the noosphere isn't an entity itself that needs to be contained. The theories that the STALKER noosphere are based off sees the noosphere as being a natural force:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere
The CC isn't trying to contain the noosphere, it's trying to contain the crack in the noosphere - The Zone.
There's nothing said anywhere at anytime that even suggests the CC was continuing their noosphere manipulation attempts after their fuckup. After all, it seems like an extraordinarily dumb idea to be try to fix a mistake whilst simultaneously and separately performing actions that caused the mistake in the first place - especially if said mistake makes said actions likely to cause or exacerbate the mistake.
The STALKER novels aren't even close to canon, they don't follow the series storyline and they weren't written (though they were allowed) by GSC. The first one even has a second zone being created in Kabul.
>>121008614
>>121009360
why couldnt the devs been thinking of that from the start though? sentient zone that's been developing since the start, contained by the CC, but with it gone, it can actually reach out and "mature", to end up showing itself in stalker2
i know, never ever, i guess it comes down to each person to consider if dev's potential ideas could be canon

>The STALKER novels aren't even close to canon, they don't follow the series storyline and they weren't written (though they were allowed) by GSC. The first one even has a second zone being created in Kabul.
The official novels set in the Zone are just expansion of the main story.

>>121013130
>The Brainscorcher, the Miracle Machine, the Generators.
In each case it's much more likely that these devices were/are operating to achieve a practical goal (generators, controlling the psi emissions; scorcher, preventing access to the zone's centre; miracle machine is a special case, its just still alive). What evidence is there in any way to suggest the CC is using those machines either to manipulate the noosphere or research it? You can't just say the CC was using them for that without any evidence either in the game or from deduction. Yeah the generators are the 'source' of the emission (if they're actually still canon, which we don't fucken know) then that's literally all they're stated to be. It's what the CC uses to safely (almost) release noosphere energy. Like I said, there is nothing anywhere to suggest they're still trying to perform their original experiment again.
>>>The CC isn't trying to contain the noosphere, it's trying to contain the crack in the noosphere - The Zone
>I NEVER fucking said that, dude.
first post
>what they cant control is the noosphere
Yeah wait but why. This is why you think an argument about semantics is dumb, because you lumped all of that noosphere stuff I said into 'some /x/ shit', you fucken mong. The reason I said that was to make it clear that the noosphere crack is NOT THE FUCKING NOOSPHERE. You're pulling stuff from the wiki? Sick shit cuz, read the first quote on the CC page:
http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Common_Consciousness
You kind of went back on it with the second post, good job - so stuff about why the zone is actually alive:
And you know what else is trippy as fuck bro? In CoP, after the CC was destroyed, something was still communicating with the monolith - as evidenced by their transmitters, and the monolith fighter's PDA literally says the 'monolith' spoke to him.
cont->
>-cont.
Degtyarev says that 'something' is talking to them. That's pretty much what started this.
Plus when you consider the original storyline for CS and the original storyline for what was to be STALKER 2 - dunno why you just disregarded that shit lol - that single line is basically prophetic. The zone is talking to the monolith. Why? Dunno. Might be something to do with how strelok knows how to destroy the zone - would make sense considering how keen the monolith (and mutants and zombies, both insensate yet somehow were particularly keen to kill the Mil only after strelok joined them and started to evacuate.
Then there's the mutant/zombie aggression hint at the end of the ecologist questline. Why would insensate mutants and zombies give a shit about preventing people from scan anomalies, how would they even know? There's no CC that could somehow manipulate them. And it's explicitly said that the aggression only occurs when a human tries to somehow understand an anomaly better, not just gather artifacts. Why does this happen? Well to help Ozersky out, it's because the zone is sentient and its trying to protect its secrets.
>saying the lost alpha is relevant to stalker lore and the novels expand on the storyline.
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9iJmAEHb3Q. The lost alpha is a connect the dots made from 6 dots and someone drew a unicorn from it. Moot point anyway, if the lost alpha was somehow the original stalker plotline then that's it the original, not the one we have now.
2) gsc actually unendorsed those novels but he's still writing sequels, I wouldn't consider anything the devs don't put their names on to be canon.
>inb4 autist
yeah well I'm on holiday you fucks
>>121020381
Forgot to mention why i linked the cc stuff:
"we were trying to fix stuff but we fucked up and created the zone, we're trying to contain the zone." Yeah its a bit open ended - 'contain the zone' versus 'destroy it'. But he definitely didn't mention anything about retrying their original experiment. Timeline thus: CC researching all kinds of stuff including noosphere / noosphere related stuff by The Group; The Group built the generators to allow them to perform corrections to the noosphere; The Group fucked up, some became clear sky some joined up and became the CC (http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/The_Group) - yes so that means Lebedev knew about the CC so it was pretty fucken unlikely he was wrong about the zone being alive. The CC and Clear Sky both dedicate them to containing/removing the zone. Does it involve researching the noosphere? Probs. Are they doing their experiment again? Doubtful.
Again, Lebedev was one of the people responsible for creating the zone, just saying 'he's fucken wrong bud' without any proof is pretty retarded.

>>121022526

>>121021828
Sounds like a pretty reasonable thing yeah, takes about 3-5mins.
tl;dr you basically said shit without much to back it up and the zone being sapient answers tons of questions (more than the shit i say below)
>lebedevs wrong
ok why, he was a part of the group that created the zone and he knows about the existence of the cc - seems like he knows his shit
>mutants n zeds becoming aggressive when someone tries to scan an anomaly
easiest explanation is the zone is directing them to protect its secrets
>'something' talking to the monolith in CoP
same dealio, who would want to protect the center of the zone now the CC is gone, and has the capacity to talk to the monolith who only reside there? The Zone itself.

I patched the initial repo two days after I uploaded it. And I linked the patch here knowing that /sg/ would drown me in autist rage.

>want others to fix it for you
this is a thing now?
>>121023918
are you fucking serious?
>>121023918
ok well the way to be proper about it is
"the AO3 mod by E.Nigma that an anon from /sg/ linked me to that was compatible with CoC 1.2.24 (by the way he linked it I assume he was the one who updated it from a version of AO3 compatible with a previous version of CoC, I don't know who ported that one SORRY). But the mod was repoed on Yandex which was paywalled so I reuploaded it to moddb so I can get a bunch of 'plebs' to bugtest it for me. After posting that I reupped it on /sg/ - at which point there was an outpouring in sperg rage - I observed that there was a surge in anons who began playing it too, based upon the increase in posts regarding it. I gathered the bug and issue information that both parties provided and set about fixing these issues so that the port was more enjoyable. Unfortunately I did not know much about modding at this time, hence I repeatedly asked the anons on /sg/ for either a fix for the issues I did not have the expertise in solving (e.g. ones that I couldn't find the answers to on google). Each time the responses were unhelpful. Thankfully there was one based anon (actually credited him in the readme) offered help in solving the UI bug issue. I managed to solve the - admittedly easy issues - of the bm16 spawning, f2000 spawning, izh spawning and the hours it took me to copy paste every value back to vanilla AO. Although I made available the original values in case someone wanted to play with them. Everyone who helped or provided content for the port was credited in the readme.
Right now I'm about to release the second patch which will rebalance the economy, fix some values I missed changing, fix some more icons, add in about a dozen AO3 items which weren't being sold by traders and fixing the svarog detector not being able to detect non-CoP artifacts."
yeah I just find it easier to say my port most times.
I've also made addons that merge in the suit addon and some STCS weapons, should be nice.
>>121028145
most times i just say 'the port of AO3 that I'm maintaining' but i find people get as pissy over that so I don't think /sg/ will react better.

I've played the first STALKER, skipped the second, and am now thinking of just playing CoP, should I? Also, should I use any mods for my first playthrough? I've heard the Misery mod add a lot of good shit, even for first playthroughs, but a dumb friend of mine told me that, would rather hear it from you guys.

need to get u a better shotgun, but yeah breh
Why do people carry a handgun in Stalker? It just seems so utterly pointless.
assault rifle + shotgun, assault rifle + sniper rifle, battle rifle + machine gun, that sort of thing makes sense. But I can never imagine actually using a handgun.
>>121087079
What are you going to do about it, bitch boy?
>>121084715
Where exactly the -dbg?
>>121087079
45 is based
>>121087540
it shouldnt matter
@start _bin\xrEngine.exe -skiplogo -fsltx fsgame_coc.ltx -dbg
>>121087079
Because, if you don't have ammo in some of the other weapons, you can use .45 USP in Auto fire if you need it.
Also, you look more Operator.
I always use 3 weapons
-handgun .45
-Rifle (AN-94, Ot-14, As Val)
-Shotgun/Sniper
I feel more comfy if a have my meme gun with me. (USP)
>>121087079
Because you can only carry so much AR ammo, and shotguns usually have horrible reload speeds.
>>121087079
>y izzant averybudy minm axin liek me

If there's a harmonica icon, is there an actualy harmonica in AO?
Is the Val worthwhile? I just found a G3 and am considering using that instead
>>121096181
There's a harmonic in every STALKER since SoC.
>>121096181
how did you fuck up that badly???
>>121096252
The As Val is a good weapon for close combats, to fuck exo-suits and sometimes to bone bloodsuckers.
The G3 is more difficult to use in urban areas, but really good in outdoors.
The Ammo for both are the same rare to find, so, is your choice.

No, use a fucking Spas, or a protecta.
>>121097240

Is there any value to speed-running CoP?
>>121102653
Nope.
How many weapons/rounds of ammo for each do you guys carry?
>>121102889
6 mags for primary if it's 5.56 or 5.45. 8 if some other caliber
5 pistol mags baseline for secondary, more if it's low capacity like a 1911i don't carry a shotgun because i'm a hoarder
>>121102889
betwen 8 and 10 mags for rifle, more if possible
5 mags for pistol, more if full auto secondary
sometimes a sniper rifle with at least 5 mags, too
Fuck I'm drowning in money, I want to feel destitute and have a need to go on artifact runs

Not an AO problem. The CoC devs ramped up directional hearing: looking at a sound source and facing 180 degrees away from it is the difference between sounding like it's right next to you versus sounding like it's 50 meters away.

I've player the original SoC since it was originally released and when mods came out I typically always used AMK with the Arsenal pack. I've been out of the loop for a while and wanna know if there are any mods similar to AMK including a new arsenal? I could just install AMK+Arsenal but I want to play something I haven't yet. Any suggestion? I've tried Autumn Aurora 2 but it doesn't seem to be my cup of tea.

Any mods similar to AMK for CoP?
>>121115287
CoC.
Any mods yet that add more dynamic tasks to CoC? I'm shit at modding but I'm trying my best.
So I decided to figure out my various stalker archives and found what is apparently an English copy of "Silver Edition". Anyone have any idea as to what it is? Google, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo fail me in the english dept.
>>121114736
that's cancerous.
>>121115613
No, and I wouldn't bother - Epic's mission system is still shitty, basically just spaghetti coded in a dozen missions to say that CoC's playable.
>>121117523
CoC's dynamic tasks are solid except for maybe the scientist escort one, show me a mod with more seamless custom missions.
>>121076220
ya because your computer is a pile of trash
Getting back into STALKER with a nice PC.
Any recommended mods for SoC besides Complete? Kinda looking for more content more so than immersion.
>>121118028
Of course there's not a mod with a more 'seamless' mission system, no other mod has modified the actual xray engine to create an entirely new form of giving missions (although one could argue it's just ShoC's system recreated in CoP).
And as for the first one, I don't know how much you've played but the issues are still widespread. Sid's and the Mercs' assassination missions still become unable to be finished half the time - with issues ranging from no target existing, the target disappearing, the target dying prematurely or killing the target but not being able to turn the mission in; the technician's mission can't be finished sometimes if you take both at once, and sometimes you turn in the second box but still have the mission active; the machine yard mission that Sid gives you is completely functional, but about 80% of the time the bandits will get aggroed from defending the machine yard and just spread out in 360 degrees to kill everything - which usually results in them dying from mutants or military; the hostage rescue mission is an interesting one because it seems that the loner hostage is coded as a part of the bandit squad, which results in a merry gang of bandits and a single rookie loner exploring the zone and often all dying - if you do happen to reach them before they get ded then 'freeing' the hostage results in him disappearing and the mission auto-completing. The auto-failing missions which still occurs could be a straight bug or because you're accepting the mission when the conditions are already in a fail state, either way needs to be fixed.
>>121118028
>seamless
ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>121119296
With the 'comparing CoC to every other mod part', I meant it's a fucking dumb comparison because it doesn't reside in the same category as other mods because other mods use the normal method of coding missiond.
>>121119048
AA2, AMK (NOT Sid edition)
>>121119048
read the OP
in the process of rebalancing economy in AO for CoC.
seems like the original creator went through the trader files while smashing his face on the keyboard
fuck me, he could have just changed the base prices and made it so that each trader has a more specific inventory.
tfw this is going to take me a few hours and life is pain
like for barkeep, all of the mod ammo is set up so the prices are listed as
= 10, 0.x
where is x is 3-6. The way the prices are calculated is the first value multiplied by the second value divided by two = the change to the base price that merchant charges (gsc you fucking autists).
What the fuck anon, you spergy cunt. It doesn't matter a fucking bit if a trader chargers literally 1% of the base price more for one ammo compared to another.
I'm actually amazed someone was autistic enough to go through the 24 trader files and make changes like this for every single item - differing per item and per trader.
Wonder what his internal logic was for this. Regardless sick of AK74s costing ~15-20k and sawn offs being ~5-8k.

>>121129690
>>121126359
You can't compare the engine changes done in Stalkersoup to those in CoC as they relate to quests with any degree of reasonableness.
The only thing that you need to know (since apparently you hate reading) is that CoC's quests are made to be the foundation for a system that modders should be able to use to populate the rest of CoC with more quests that are unique and potentially more complex than in CoP.
So it's pointless comparing them because we're evaluating entirely different pros and cons. You could compare the current quests in CoC with those in Stalkersoup, but not compare the systems either use.
