did everyone get killed by bears or what the fuck is happening
God fucking damn losin my mind on this shit. milkshape3d does not preserve normals for some reason. I've tried smoothing groups, some plugin which actually did help a little, tried default_smooth material and everything.
To the guy who was doing the magazine switching thing, did you ever encounter that? If so, how did you fix it? Manually averaging surface normals?

Could S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in space work?
>>140467467
Well the downside is you couldn't show familiar Earth scenery torn apart by the zone
For new settings a better option is probably to just have the zone spread further across the planet. Imagine a big city covered in anomalies, with bandits holed up in certain levels of skyscrapers, etc.
>>140467614

north korea already looks like an eerie post apocalypse world though
>>140468314
But think about it. It's such a strange, terrifying world. Add in anomalies, human experiments let loose, and die-hard NorKor soldiers and you'll have a helluva game.

The fuck does CoC have to do with CS
>>140480046
>> Is CoC a totally different experience? Won't I get bored since I jut finished CS?
CoC is freeplay, but it's sort of dry, with basically no story, still it's worth trying
>> Is faction war worth trying? I want to get more of that sweet stalker feel
same as CoC, but it feels more interactive since you can capture shit, definitively try it
>> Is Stalker online any good? I'm seeing an evergrowing community on it.

>>140480693
It's grindy in that top tier stuff is expensive and it takes a lot of work to afford it, but artifact hunting is a pretty involved process that you actually have to prepare for and pay attention to and all that, so it's not like you're just farming creeps for days on end.
And you don't need the top tier shit anyways unless you're a basefag, peasant set like this is totally fine for pve.
>Stalker RPG
Why
I could see if it were a Planetside 1 style MMOFPS, but an RPG combat system just completely, utterly sucks all the atmosphere out of the Zone. You can't get immersed when rats are eating 20 shots to the head and soldiering on.
ZoA is like 1/3rd done uploading to keep you posted, will post the fixes again with the link to it when it's done
Two days in the Zone and Scar has killed 161 humans
How many people from /vg/ are playing Stalker online? Does the game have guilds/clans/factions?
Are there p2w elements?
>>140482446
>Are there p2w elements?
It fully consists of them.
>>140482446
Wait a sec, I'll send you an invite.
We can get a free Abakan and some other stuff for free this way.
>>140482593
Should've expected as much from f2p shit.
What's the gamplay of this stalker mmo like?
>>140482823
There's gameplay videos online. Typical MMO stuff but with guns rather than swords.
>>140484590
So shit and nothing at all like an fps?
This shit right here.
Why do modders put their stuff in torrents instead of mirroring them across as many DDL sites as possible? No one is ever going to play ZoA because you literally can't get it.

Not all, some of them are pretty fucking cool. Do all the stuff for the ecologists for example. And findthe oasis.

Well i'm in the funky ship bar thingy, I just have no clue where to go from here, I tried investigating one of the choppers but got snork'd
>>140491672
It's technically justified in that you're there to investigate the cause of failure of Operation Stingray, and to prevent the clusterfuck of an op from going worse. You're not there for stalkan.
Doesn't really justify the game being so dull and lacking missions and activity in general, but hey, that's how it is.
>>140491968
>tfw I already own them all on both Steam and GoG
>>140492131
Well you're there to check out all the helo crashes, obviously. Do a few missions here and there and you'll have good equipmemt (you already start off with some adequate mid-tier equipment but still). Or if you want to be a total cuntcheck out all those stashes my pham.

I'm trying to install CoC. I have Call of Pripyat installed on steam but the standalone mod installer isn't detecting it for some reason.
What can I do to get the installer to notice that the game is installed? I've looked through the FAQs and no one else seems to be having this issue.

But I DO have it. Was hoping the installer I already got could be made to work.
>>140496196
Dunno man, sometimes it's flakey.
Have you launched CoP at least once after downloading it on Steam? Maybe it doesn't do the registry properly until you do that.
>>140496428
>Have you launched CoP at least once after downloading it on Steam? Maybe it doesn't do the registry properly until you do that.
Thanks that did the trick!
>>140489332
Well fuck, didn't mess with scaling at all. The weird thing is, the normals SHOULDN'T be this messed up - they look fine in ms3d. So I'm beginning to think its overriding the normals during export or something. And yeah I have HQ geometry clicked, without it it starts removing faces duplicate faces and leaves holes in the mesh.
>>140489853
oh hell no I'm not leaving that sight permanently attached. The only thing I WOULD do is make more sights attachable.
>>140490446
Does not have a trench gun (is that in any stalker mod? if so I may be able to pull it). The only ww2 guns I have (that aren't in other coc packs right now afaik) are the k98, stg44, mp40, ppsh41, ppd40, and thompson.
>>140482446
None, yes, it's pay to not grind.
>>140482593
You're thinking of sZone, I'll assume Anon isn't retarded enough to be talking about that.
Is there a functional weapon pack/addon for OGSE? The one i tried from russian ogse forum has faulty strings and crash my game all the fucking time.

Stalkers, I ran into some of the same problems described here, and this file seems to work fine for now. It might be a good fix then so could you guys check it out and add this file to the AMK folder on the repo?
Like the last post says, one line needs to be changed:

>>140497453
I literally copy pasted the scope onto that rifle for that picture. Are you setting the shaders to weapons?
Are you the guy commenting about fixing the wobble in vid related? If so, is it a script issue? I thought I had it fixed but it also shows on guns I could swear didn't wobble before.

>>140500886
That's my script but I guess I must have missed that. Though, I don't see anything in that video out of the ordinary. What exactly do you mean? Is the reticle moving slightly or something?
And yeah, I've tried a few different things. Was doing models\weapons for shader, def_shaders/def_vertex (from some tutorial; also tried default_smooth but not sure if with weapons), and then for game mtl i've done both small weapon and default object. So then, what settings do you use for both Shader, Compile, and Game Mtl?
Does anyone have that screencap of some dude pretending to be Sidorovitch in a chatroom?

>>140501892
I mean the little jump the actor does when I change the sight configuration. About the AE settings it's just default. I load a weapon > tick HQ geometry > select all textures and change shaders to weapon > select animation file and export as ogf. After that I remove the animation reference and load the bones, it will say error but that's ok > then export to ogf. Milkshape is all default too. I got the aimpoint from OWR's mp133.
>>140501892
>>140502597
To add, the second export is the world model. And your script is fine. It's the script for changing scopes.

>>140502597
I can look into the jump thing though I'm sure I'll have too much luck. Yeah I did all that and it still happens - are you using the milkshape3d stalker plugin or are you using ogf2smd? I feel like there is some setting somewhere or something that is getting fucked up...

As someone who occasionally follows this thread, what will be the differences between weaponsoup and shoker 3.0?
Assuming shoker is ever released.
>>140506620
Literally everything, what.
Question time, why does the new version of OGSE look like complete ass even on maximum settings? They spent all their fucking time on graphical and engine enhancements and still could not get the game looking half decent.
>>140500304
Interesting....
>>140506620
Shoker 3 has a fuckton more customizations like flash hiders, fore grips, buttstocks etc. Also take a look at their scopes.
>>140507046
Shoker also isn't for CoC, so it'spointless
r8 my shit
>>140506620
Well for starters, the people that are making shoker actually make the weapon models and shit. I'm just doing a collection and attaching optics to a few weapons. Should go without saying, but the quality of shoker 3 will blow it away hah.
>>140505889
That's provided with CoC? I think I did a fix at one point, but I'm about to try reinstalling shit. I gotta get this to work, I want these sights on these models far too bad haha. I just got to work so I'm not sure if those are the plugins I use but I'll check. I kinda am starting to doubt those are the ones I use (the plugin I use says Stalker 2008 in parenthesis so unless this does too then maybe that is causing an issue). Thanks for taking the time to help me get this shit figured out though, I appreciate it.
>>140508649
More ammo would be nice, but other than that it's pretty much perfect.
>>140509061
At least I'm 99% sure they do. Millenia I believe is the dude who typically makes the insanely high quality weapons, though I'm not sure if he works on shoker mod.
Holy fuck boys do I have a story for you guys.

how does that relate to what I said

>>140516789
You want a gun that's gonna give you cancer?
>>140494952
That's because of the fucked up faction relations system and the fact that the devs wanted so that you can side/negotiate with bandits if you wanted to. There are mods that make random roaming bandit squads hostile and add hostile mercs wandering around but in Vanilla you can have hostile roaming bandits too depending on certain factors.

It is time I take from them.

If you want patches, use Zone Reclamation Project. I'm not sure how stable it is anymore with the new update, but given that complete still runs it likely will too. Most big SoC mods are built upon Complete. I'll just warn you, the game is going to feel a lot rougher and more hostile without Complete. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Or you'll die.
>>140526798
I think it's simpler than that. The general is not as populated or active as other generals, so it stays low-profile and evades shitposting by that. At least so goes my theory.

I 1,000% do not understand why people whine so fucking much. The accuracy boosts are especially important; when people shoot at you in Complete, you had best fucking duck.
>>140529617
We like Stalker because it doesn't baby you like most games. What about that don't you get?
>>140520143
The firefight that happens *every time* at the train station in the Garbage became one of my most favorite things, to be honest.
>>140529931
>>140529748
>guns that actually send bullets roughly where you fucking point them is "babying"
Now don't get me wrong, I like that Stalker actually reflects that guns in real life don't work like laser beams - a lot of people don't realize just how wide the dispersion can be sometimes, especially with worn out guns firing shitty old spamcan ammo dug out of a Ukrainian field somewhere. But vanilla SoC is kind of silly; it's especially bad in the early game where neither you nor the cheekibreekis can hit a flock of barns if you're standing inside the middle barn. If it only upped YOUR accuracy, maybe you'd have a point but it's across-the-board, which means NPCs will blow your ass off if you fuck about too much.
As for stealth missions, I tried them all in SoC, with Complete - WITH Complete - and I found them pretty much fucking impossible. I never noticed much difference in how mutants or whatnot were able to find me between vanilla and SoC, anyways.
>>140529617
I tried Complete once and the difficulty decrease was noticeable and made the game feel really bland in my opinion. However, it's a singleplayer game so caring what mods other people like to play the game with is pretty autistic.
>>140527662
>most are built on ZRP

whats the best vanilla story mission? the part in clear sky's yantar where you go as group to restart the pumps? the call of pripyat mission with the monolith preacher sniper? the first time you get to pripyat in SoC? the underground tunnel in CoP?

>>140541020
Here we go again.
>>140539869
A couple of factors may contribute to the in-game price :
1. If it's not considered actually useful gear, adding an extra $1200 to a conscript's gear is super expensive, especially when you consider they'd be issued army wide.
2. The ones you purchase in the game might be second-hand or mildly defective.
3. They're hard to sell outside of the Zone so the traders who acquired them in bulk just want to sell theirs off to sell them somewhere.
>>140541671
>They're hard to sell outside of the Zone
Nigga pls. Exos would be useful as fuck for applications that aren't combat oriented.
>>140506860
I dont know man, I think OGSE 0693 looks gorgeous.
Are Clear Sky supposed to get Exoskeleton fighters?
>>140544387
Don't fall for that b8, stalker.
The best explanation I have for exosuit price is this:
1) The Zone has its own micro-economy with its own supply, demand, and consequentially, prices. Crucially there is also a 'supply and demand' of money... no one is entering the Zone with 500,000 rubles on them, that's just idiotic. They keep a pocketful at most. So prices must be dictated around this limited supply of cash.
2) By the time you're capable of actually gaining access to an exosuit, you're so deep into the culture of the Zone that you're unlikely to leave it (and thus, unlikely to sell it outside the Zone for a fat paycheck.)
3?) It's possible that in this alternate reality where Ukraine and Russia have gained access to powerful and scarce artifacts, the Ruble is much stronger than it is IRL.
>>140546142
People use electronic money in the game most likely.
>>140519159
>>140519146
>>140519049
Just shoot them with your gun when you are there with the NPC. His presence confuses them and they mill about, enabling you to kill them easily
>>140546560
Whatever the case they're keeping only enough available to them to buy what they need. Otherwise that bandit who frisks you in SoC was clearing out 100,000+ ruble bank accounts before you showed up.
>>140541671
By virtue of them working flawlessly inside the Zone, one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth (goes triple for machines), the exoskeletons are most definitely NOT defective

>what is abstraction for the sake of gameplay
And I'm not talking about defective as in doesn't work at all, I'd be talking about small defects like not having a full range of movement on one limb, some parts moving a little sluggishy, etc.
Y'know, things you can use to handwave the fact that it's "too cheap". Personally when I encounter stuff like this is a mod or the base game, I usually interpret it the way it makes the most sense plausibly or acknowledge it as an abstraction of things for the sake of gameplay.
For example, the Ukrainian special forces using weapons that are irl exclusively used by Russians can be handwaved by just explaining to yourself that maybe Russia gave Ukraine arms shipments to help out with the Zone or how some people explain Freedom having NATO weaponry as them being propped up by NATO states.
>>140548037
>some people explain Freedom having NATO weaponry as them being propped up by NATO states.
That doesn't make sense as that's exactly the merc's job. I always found retarded how freedom has access to high grade NATO guns anyway.

Because this was recently uploaded to moddb and it's for CoC 1.3.2, which is not officially out yet, because reasons.
They updated the weapon mods before putting out the patch.
If you want the version for CoC 1.3.12, go to the CoC repo in OP.
