So I've been running Call of Chernobyl with the most recent AO and a the Dynamic quests mod.

But it still looks pretty dated. Are there any recommended + compatible texture mods? Also, is there any way to increase the grass draw distance?

Probably a dumb question but I seem to be getting some kind of weird texture effect in CoC. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it but it's super noticeable on NPCs where the textures on the clothes seem to scroll in a repeating pattern when I look around, and everything at a distance seems like it's vaguely underwater. Is this a setting loving up somewhere or has something gone terribly wrong?

Is the faction warfare mod for CoC updated for the latest version yet?

Because holy gently caress if so i've found a better post-apocalyptic sim/warfare game than Clear Sky is when modded.

Fun bug. If you click on Survival Mode your game WILL be Survival Mode no matter if you untick it after or not.

By the way, is there any way to add portraits to the available selection per faction? Also, character_desc_general is still the place to go to alter loadouts, correct?

I haven't played Stalker for several years - I remember back then I'd just install Stalker Complete for bug fixes and graphics improvements, but it seems like the mod landscape has changed a lot since. What's the current "basic" mod to download?

Where can you access traders and mechanics as a Mercenary in CoC? Or should I play another faction if they have none/are very limited?

I think Dead City has the main merc base. They are pretty limited because everyone hates you except ecologists probably

There's a few hard mode choices in COC. Zombies, Mercs, Military and Monolith have pretty much everyone hating them and very little opportunity to engage in commerce.

It just means more potential for looting corpses.



I give MISERY poo poo, sure, but one thing I liked was the ad hoc armor attachments. Adding steel mesh, mutant hide, Kevlar patches etc via artifact slots.

Survival Mode is pretty fun, I must admit. The Dead City start gets pretty hectic with so many zombies coming from everywhere.

Yeah letting scientists/clear sky get blown away by the zombies in yantar is a pretty easy way for some loot, and then a repair kit will get you a decent weapon or two to put you on your way.

In 1.3 bandits seemed like the hardest start, because not only does everyone hate them, their equipment is poo poo. At least with Monolith you can presumably get some good supplies from your trader.

Of course I never did either because it didn't seem fun.

1.3 military was fairly easy imo, a lot of people hate you but you still get all the good traders and two mechanics and a fairly central base (agropom) with lots of outposts everywhere

Clearing the bar of filthy loners was pretty cathartic also. Chased barman into his backroom and shot him cowering and alone.

some thoughts on 1.4 with ao3:

-weapon degradation is too fast imo
-the zone is packed full of firefights and mutants on default spawn settings
-what is the artifact container for?
-where can i get a svarog detector now? can't seem to easily loot one off of dead ecologists anymore
-do artifacts still spawn in anomalies? i checked several anomalies with a bear detector and found nothing. are they just rarer? the only artifacts i've found have been on corpses

Install is CoP, run once, then CoC right?

Dodged a SVD shot meant for me apparently, because the game crashed. Such is Stalker.

You don't even technically need CoP since its standalone, the only purpose of it is that the install requires you to have Call of Pripyat somewhere on your system otherwise the COC team are essentially giving away a Stalker game for free.

Arsenal Overhaul gives you lots of cool guns with animations. E.Nigma is a hell of a modder. Make sure you get the CoC version.

It is indeed sweet as gently caress. Rocking an M16A2 and a Russian .357 revolver now.

Gotta edit the AI to drop their ammo on death though, its impossible to keep it going :( Anyone know where to do that off the top of their heads?

EDIT: Nevermind, I ~LEARNED TO AIM~ and now poo poo goes decently enough. Just emptying mags I find, and keeping good rep with the Mercs to pay for 7.62 ammo for my SCAR-H I found on a dead comrade. This gun fucks nerds up hardcore.

Found an L11A5 too, or whatever the .338 Lapua Magnum rifle is. It devastates dudes.
