thanks senpai, I did, sort of.
Is there any way to add a quest item to a trader's inventory and buy it? I'm trying to get the family rifle in SoC.
>>121899768
>>121903460
Yep.
>>121899815
No one asked for this. Just let us die in piece. This general could use some rest.
>>121903673
How? I know you can add non quest items but I haven't been able to get them to sell quest ones.
>>121903884
Do you know what the item's called?
>>121904062
It's the 'family rifle' but it's referred to as multiple things here in "unique_items.ltx" so I'm not quite sure which one it is.
>>121904302

Playing CoC vanilla is pretty fun, actually, but if you want dem gramphics you should use OWR or STCSWP. AO3 is okay but it's pretty samey with STCSWP and of the two STCSWP is more polished.

I'm playing CoP for the first time vanilla with atmosfear and really enjoying it. But i've been running around Yanov for awhile now and the place seems kinda dead. Almost no patrolling stalkers or anything, just some random clusterfuck over at the AA site with bloodsuckers, Duty and some dogs. Is it supposed to be this quiet ?
>>121914314
Yes, it is.

That's what I'd been trying, but it just kills me instantly the moment I leave cover anyway.
Just a heads up, artifacts do indeed respawn in CoC. Low chances, sure, but I just went and harvested the gas field behind the bunker in Yantar, waited until an emission, went out, and harvested it again.

It's a bit of a trial-and-error thing. There's not much you can do about it.
You could also savescum.

There's a cover sequence that's known to work.
You can also go back to the swamps and use the other entrance.

Monolithing is hard, but it is the virtuous path. How am I supposed to find proper guns without hoping my allies get killed?Working Faction Wars mod when?
>>121956758
Bring a lot of friends.
Go to the pseudogiant party right after you spawn and steal your friends' shit.
Never engage without proper cover.
Get your hands on a sniper rifle as soon as possible.
If you ever have to go to the CNPP, hook around through Zaton unless you like Chimeras fucking your butt right after you enter the map.

Understandable. I loved to drink JW red label back then, good stuff.
>>121988126
One should appreciate even the smallest things. Toast is a pretty good small thing.
ZoA has the option to transmute some artifacts using different anomalies. I managed to get some transmutations to work
>Put the artifact in the secondary weapon slot
>press m1 until the artifact gets dropped and the screen flashes
>wait time
>acquire new artifact
the problem is that some other times I drop the artifact on an anomaly, nothing flashes and some animation starts making the artifact levitate and I get a crash
My question is less about the crash itself (I get different crashes with different anomalies and different artifacts) and more about if it's possible to transmute using a different method (like dropping the artifract and pushing it into the anomaly).
In case it helps, this is the last crash I got:

Yes, yes it is.
>>121990880
Oh. That explains it then.
This is a bump
>>121989140
Nigga you dumb, just drop it. If it doesn't flash you're dropping the wrong thing in the wrong anomaly or you don't have the recipe.
The first person thing is for making new anomalies.
>>121997182
>If it doesn't flash you're dropping the wrong thing in the wrong anomaly or you don't have the recipe.
I have the recipe AND I'm dropping it correctly since dropping other artifacts from the same position and in the same anomaly works.

Whatever buddy. I just wanted help to fix the problem I had.
anyone have any suggestions for balancing the AO economy in CoCk?
>>122000594
If you're such a sperg that you're willing to force feed yourself the hot garbage that is ZoA's magazine system just to have some realism in your painfully unrealistic video game, then you're going to have to deal with all the bugs that come with it. That means figuring out fixes that not even Fatal could figure out.
The ZoA magazine system is objectively bad. Whether you like is or not is subjective. ZoA itself is a buggy, unbalanced mess on par with Misery, but gets a free pass because of Fatals dick suckers.
I'm honestly not sure if I'm glad that people are finally realizing this, or sad that no one with proper knowledge picked it up and worked on some much needed clean up after fatal committed suicide
>>122001478
I gave up on ZoA the day I realised item descriptions were more important than correct sun cycle, even a basic sunny day.
why is STCS's weapon sounds and recoil just better than AO's? I'm playing them side by side and STCS makes AO's creator look like a drooling spacktard.
>>122001478
>realism in your painfully unrealistic video game
I never said I wanted realism though.
>The ZoA magazine system is objectively bad
I didn't have a problem with it so far. I've been playing the game with almost no crashes this entire week and none of them were related to the mag system so I couldn't care less.
>then you're going to have to deal with all the bugs that come with it
It's not like I came here demanding a bug-free update anyways. Did I? Hell, if you think about it I came looking for someone that maybe knew about an alternative method to modify artifacts (because I had the feeling I was doing something wrong).
I fail to see the reason to get this riled up.

There's no other reason to want it. You'll find fully loaded magazines everywhere you go, so it's not like it makes an heavy impact on the gameplay.
>no crashes this entire week and none of them were related to the mag system
Lucky you. Doesn't detract from the magazine system being bad.
>because I had the feeling I was doing something wrong
There isn't and you aren't.

Could you guys recommend me mods for first CoP playthrough? Guides in the OP seems to focus more on SoC which i already finished. Thankies.
>>122010475
>first playthrough
Vanilla.
>>122010747
No fan patches to remove bugs and shit required then?
>>122011064
It's not very buggy by default.
Is the luajit for CoP in the Repo the most recent?
>>122011064
Not for CoP, no.
>>122011141
>>122011167
Ok thanks, going to cheekibreeki some shit right now
>tfw no independent Ironman mod
Fuck CoC, it's fine if you like it but I don't like it.
>>122011901
You may be a little disappointed.
>>122012428
Do you not have any self-control?

>>122012428
Maybe you should make one instead of wasting your time blogging.
>>122014394
This is the only mod I'll ever make, fuck you.
I feel like this is a retarded question, but please bear with me.
So I made it to the Sarcophagus. How am I supposed to go up to the Wish Granter? The portal that normall lead you to the Wish Granter isn't there.
>>122015764
just jump up there lmao
>>122003848
>There's no other reason to want it.
Then you are wrong because I don't give half a damn about realism yet I like the magazine system as is.
>Lucky you. Doesn't detract from the magazine system being bad.
You still have not pointed out a single reason why it is "objectively bad" and that does detract the veracity of your statement.
>There isn't and you aren't.
There is and I was wrong.
see >>121997182
>Because you and everyone elses time would be better off playing a better mod.
So you are riled up this hard because I'm wasting my time doing what I want? And I was the sperg, damn.
If you are so worried about it you should be giving me a mod recommendation instead of throwing a childish tantrum.
>>122003831
I actually can't play CoC. CoP works just fine but CoC crashes on startup.
>>122016578
If you can play CoP you should be able to play CoC, so I think your installation is fucked.
>>122016727
Being 100% honest the last time I tried playing CoC was when the beta leaked. I downloaded the CoC in OP while I was running some errands and I'm about to install it and try.
How was your day, Stalker?
>>122016935
It'll run fine.
>>122016578
>yet I like the magazine system as is.
Then you just like eating shit. Simple as that.
>objectively bad
>>useless mechanics as magazines are always readily available
>>able to crash your game
>>can cause ammo/entire magazines to just vanish
>>tedious to work with and takes up a key slot instead of having its own dedicated key
>mod recommendation
CoC
>>122017001
Pretty good pham, I did my day doing absolutely fucking nothing once again.
Disabling the Brain Scorcher was much easier than I anticipated. Ninja run to enter the lab than fight it out, and then after you're done with the lab use the train as cover and slaughter everything.
>>122017232
>useless mechanics as magazines are always readily available
Just like boxes of bullets. Except mags give you the option to gimp yourself further if you want to play with self-imposed rules.
>able to crash your game
Never suffered a crash related to the mags so you are by definition giving a subjective reason as to why it is objectively bad. Therefor it isn't objectively bad.
>can cause ammo/entire magazines to just vanish
Same as before.
>tedious to work with
Isn't that the entire point?
>takes up a key slot
Temporarily, but yeah. This kind of sucks because sometimes you must remove artifacts, reload and then re-add them again.
>instead of having its own dedicated key
This is something I agree on as well. A dedicated key or option to refill mags without having to deal with all the process would've been amazing
>CoC
I'm already working on it.
>>122017232
>able to crash your game
every single mod in the history of stalker can crash your game and/or cause a different array of problems/glitches so by your logic all mods are shit and every mod that adds some interesting mechanic is useless
>>122020068
>Except mags give you the option to gimp yourself further if you want to play with self-imposed rules.
The fact that the mechanic doesn't add anything to the game but a way to gimp yourself further only shows how shit the mechanic is.
>Never suffered a crash
You haven't, but many people have, which means it in fact a problem.
>Isn't that the entire point?
I war referring to the process of loading/unload.
>>122020728
I find it hard to follow you. So if a mod adds a mechanic that can crash your game and is absolutely useless as a gameplay mechanic, then it's not a shit mechanic? The entirety of the mod might not be brought down, but it's not like ZoA doesn't have its fair share of problems in other areas.
>>122022365
>The fact that the mechanic doesn't add anything to the game but a way to gimp yourself further only shows how shit the mechanic is.
Hud removal, invisible anomalies, binocular enemy-friendly indicators removed, hunger, changing the weight you can carry, new mutants, increased rate of weapon degradation, decreased item drops... Every single mod you have played has something that doesn't add anything to the game and actually gimps yourself.
>You haven't, but many people have, which means it in fact a problem.
It is a problem? To the person affected by it, sure. That doesn't makethe mod even remotely close to objectively bad.
>I war referring to the process of loading/unload.
If you mean the whole process of 'put mags in belt, press 5, press R, rinse and repeat' then yes thats quite tedious.
>if a mod adds a mechanic that can crash your game and is absolutely useless as a gameplay mechanic, then it's not a shit mechanic?
Absolutely all mods add something that is useless and that can potentially crash the game so by your definition all mods are shit.
>>122024498
What does atmosfear add that is useless and can potentially crash the game
>>122025732
Psi storms, and they're a lot more than "potential". Nice example, champ.
>>122026241
Psi storms aren't useless. As much of a meaningless addition they might be, they're perfectly functional.
>>122025732
Haven't played Atmosfear.
If it adds models then it already added useless things that can crash your game.
>>122026306
>functional = not useless
You are mistaken, buddy.
>>122026306
You think magazines are stupid, I think psi storms are stupid. They're both buggy as shit. Get some perspective.
>>121989403
>Not keeping that enhanced 5.56 cheap sniper.
>Not do all the other Voronin's quest to get the VAL with a remote-scope.
>>122026452
I've never had a psi storm bug
>>122024498
>Every single mod you have played has something that doesn't add anything to the game and actually gimps yourself.
Every single mod has some shit mechanics, yes.
>Absolutely all mods add something that is useless and that can potentially crash the game so by your definition all mods are shit.
No. My logic is that if a mod adds something that is useless and can potentially crash the game then the mod has shit mechanics. I never said the mod is outright shit because it includes said mechanic.
>>122027378
I'm very happy for you.
>>122027560
>My logic is that if a mod adds something that is useless and can potentially crash the game then the mod has shit mechanics.
So your logic is that if something is shit, it is shit? Damn, aren't you Sherlock?
Your logic a bunch of posts ago was "Don't play ZoA because it has a shitty useless mechanic that can crash your game. Your time is better off spent playing this other mod with a different shitty useless mechanic that can crash your game instead"
Installed SoC and some of the starter pack mods, now I keep getting XR_3DA.exe has stopped working after the splash screen. I installed ZRP, absolute structures/nature, and the weather overhaul.
I've tried all the tricks on google and they don't work. Does anyone have any input before I just scrap it all and reinstall the game completely?
>>122029257
>Don't play ZoA because it has a shitty useless mechanic that can crash your game. Your time is better off spent playing this other mod with a different shitty useless mechanic that can crash your game instead
Yeah, that's the compromise you have to make with STALKER mods. Every mod has shit mechanics so you're better off playing the mods that have less of those and more of the good ones.
Is there ANY way (even with meme-collision glitches) to get into the Freedom armory in CoC? Obviously I've tried breaking the lock but the game still states that it's locked.
>>122030232
God mod and teleport to cam
>>122030232
If you modify whatever file makes it locked, sure.
>>122030318
>>122030427
I probably should have said "anything I can do in-game without console", but those work.
>>122030617
You can shoot the tuna cans on the floor for a big surprise (^:
>>122030427
what file or how do i do that god mod and teleport shit is it in the coc main menu thing
>>122033036
my religion prevents me from assisting shitters
so I installed around 7 mods, including lurk and my start screen looks like this and SoC crashes everytime I start a new game. I only have 512 gpu ram and my friend said lurk is pretty graphics intensive. would removing lurk let me run it?
>>122035904
If anyone deserved a "kill yourself" right now it would be you.
>>122035904
>>122035904
>>122036076
>>122036178
>>122036456
so I should probably take lurk out?
>>122037318
Just start over
>>122037451
so reinstall and put every mod but lurk back in? im basically brain-dead when it comes to installing mods
>>122037846
Just delete gamedata and reinstall the mods
>>122037846
what mods are you using
So yeah, first time player here, got myself a copy of SOC and installed the starter pack, set the difficulty to master, etc. I've got as far as agroprom and I'm not sure if it's just me or the game but I seem to have great difficulty landing any shots, even while crouched down and using single-fire mode. That and the fact that enemies seem to be bullet sponges is kinda putting me off, Is there anyway to alleviate this or am I just gonna have to grin and bear it?

>>122044749
Pretty soon you're going to find better guns, but for now you have to grin and bear it. Have you gone through Agroprom Underground yet?
>>122042654
just the starter pack now
>>122045035
Yeah, and I got the unique AKM/72 but even using that it's pretty frustrating either not hitting what I'm aiming at or having my shots deal tickle damage while I fall over dead If anyone so much as sneezes in my general direction.
>>122045821
What armor are you using?
>>122045036
Should be fine, and it's better than LURK if it's your first playthrough.
>>122046102
I'm using merc armour I found near the entrance of agroprom
>>122046436
Don't engage unless you have good cover.
