In Lost Alpha Do you have to change graphics settings in the user file? They don't save when I exit the game/can't change them using the ingame settings.

Holy poo poo this game is amazing. I just finally got around to playing it the first time about a month ago, and I've been hooked. Right now, though, I'm trying to tweak some stuff in OGSE - namely food and how frequent item drops are. I've modified character_food.xml and set all the stock item probabilities really low (like 20% for potatoes is the highest), yet I continue to find about the same amount of food as before. I DID successfully modify the effectiveness of all the food in the game, so there's at least that, but I'd rather have it be more scarce than make it even less effective. I've extracted all the .db files and put everything into a folder outside my Stalker directory, and have been selectively copy/pasting stuff to my Stalker\gamedata\config\ folder as needed, and my fsgame.ltx is set up properly from what I've read. Anyone else done this kind of thing before, and am I missing anything? Mainly my goal right now is to make the game harder by making food more difficult to come by and less filling, as I almost NEVER even came close to going hungry since I just ate everything I found and became a total fatass, barely fitting into my armor. I've also been using the TOZ-66 because it is just so drat satisfying, weaker armor, and weaker artifacts, so as to not become totally overpowered like I was when I finished my first run through.

I've never seen this before, but it's pretty much an ingame element in the sky anomaly mod for Call of Pripyat. Basically, it's added a bunch of new custom models and such, including a giant train car that's being thrown about constantly in a loving huge (I mean, it will suck you in from a mile away if you get close to it) anomaly in Jupiter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESgtJ1ngXfE e: I realize I'm kind of a lovely person in that I have loads of projects on the backburner but never actually release any substantial, so I'm 100% guaranteed, take it to the bank, I'll even  myself I swear, going to upload my WIP Misery addon tomorrow (I'm tethered to my phone at the moment and they have draconian bandwidth shaping policies). It's based on Misery 2.1.1 and it hasn't been 100% tested and is not feature complete at the moment but it fixes a few bugs with Misery so it may be worth looking into if you're a crazy person still playing that terrible mod.If you get any problems with it and crash and post a detailed crash log I swear I'll even try my best to fix it and release a quickfix because godddamn.

I know it's been implmented kinda sorta in Sky Anomany, but I always imagined it slightly differently in my head. I liked the thought of a boxcar just gently floating upright, about 9-10 feet in the air, and stalkers having built a little makeshift camp underneath it. No more than a little campfire and places to sit, never quite knowing it one day it'll just drop down and squash them for no loving reason, but prepared to accept whatever happens because right now it keeps the rain off. That seems to encompass a lot about the weirdness of the zone and the fatality and pragmatism that comes across from some of the dialogue of the average stalker in game.

I wanted to like Sky Anomaly but it is hands-down the most crash-prone mod I've ever played. I couldn't get more than 20 paces from the starting position before my first crash, and half a dozen more before I even made it to the Skadovsk. What little I got to see of the surreal new anomalies (Ghost truck and anomalous grave marker) was pretty sweet, though. Ddraig, does your Misery add-on still have the SA anomalies?

Welp, here it is https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1R4RHpB68V6c1F1Ykd4SWFScGM/edit?usp=sharing This is as-is at the moment. This is what I managed to recover from my old computer's hard drive after it died and has been adapted to Misery 2.1.1 Very feature incomplete, to the point where I can't remember exactly what I have or haven't included. Should hopefully be no major gamebreaking bugs but I've only got to Jupiter. I will try to fix any problems, though.

I'm pretty interested in that, I think I had a pretty similar opinion on misery 2.0 as you. Was your intention to rebalance the mod at all or is the add-on strictly focused on fixing bugs?

Mostly to fix bugs. I did intend to try and rebalance it but it's so completely dense it's hard to even know where to start. I am definitely planning on redoing mutants in the future. My main concern is controllers... it seems stupid, pointless and completely illogical for a controller to have 50 metre death radius around them... Here's my thoughts for controllers: They're sort of like snakes, I guess. They go after very dangerous prey (relatively speaking) by going after stalkers, and one wrong move for the controller and the stalker will take advantage of it and kill the controller. A controller wouldn't announce its presence until it was right ontop of the stalker, and by then it's far too late. Controllers don't have potent venom, but what they do have is the ability to completely gently caress with the stalker's ability to fight back. Getting close to a controller should make your vision and hearing almost completely useless because it's throwing everything it has at you to subdue you... e: Anyway, off the top of my head this is the new additions. * Fixed wonky radio logic, used my vastly superior radio scripts to make emissions/psi-storms more immersive. * Incorporated the fixes from the Unofficial Call of Pripyat mod. MDT claimed to include this, but they didn't. * Added in the Armed Zone mod. Adds a bunch of new weapons, rebalances the existing ones. * Immersion changes. Slightly better starting loadout. Will be looking at this again in the future. * Logical black road changes. Black Road is now more interesting than just dumping you in the Sawmill with no weapons. * A few elements from ARS. The PDA does not start off complete... you have to add areas to your map as you find them. The entire point of Call of Pripyat is that the military have no loving clue what is happening. You can now get empty flasks and get a variety of drinks from the Bartenders... you can get robbed in your sleep if you sleep around other stalkers and don't have someone looking out for you, and you now have to rent the safe box in the Skadovsk. Jupiter remains untouched. * 'Realistic' mutant looting. You now need to have a knife, and have it equipped and in your hands before you can loot a mutant. Looting a mutant will damage the knife, making knife sharpening stones actually useful. How much the knife is damaged will depend on the mutant, what knife you're using (hunting knives designed for hacking up animals will be less damaged than a military knife designed for thrusting). Snipers get a 50% reduction in knife damage, because they're 'survival' experts and presumably know to cut through joints rather than hacking away at bone. * Sleep changes. You now have to be tired to sleep. This makes the otherwise completely useless 'sleeping pills' item in Misery actually useful! Added in a few other conditions to prevent you from sleeping, such as being irradiated, bleeding heavily, or what have you. You now pick up your sleeping bag if you choose not to sleep after deploying it, and you can now attract mutants if you sleep in an unsafe area... be careful what wakes up with you. * A few new achievements. May not be entirely functional.. they tend to have positive effects that are not just 'we're going to give you free items'. If you drink a lot of vodka, for example (more than Cardan!) you may eventually get a slight radiation reducing effect as your liver is practically made of iron at that point. * More dialog manager texts. When you ask 'What's new in the Zone'? You'll get more responses. Some may be duplicates, as Misery included some I wrote in 2.1.1 to begin with. * Sky anomaly anomalies. Makes the Zone slightly more varied. Not happy with a few of them... as they sort of look out of place. * New plot elements from the Second Way mod. You're now not sent alone into the Zone, you're given a partner. This is mainly flavor stuff, it doesn't actually affect the game, but it does add an extra quest later on if you don't walk the Black Road. * A few extra quests from Second Way once again. Mainly adding in quests that probably 'should' be in the game, tying up loose elements that otherwise have no purpose in CoP * Re-enabled psi-storms, made blowouts more frequent. Call of Pripyat is set after Shadow of Chernobyl, and the Zone is now pretty pissed and throwing all sorts of tantrums. * Slightly reworked weather. The skies are now not so gloomy.. makes a nice contrast between the dreary surroundings and the weather. * More music added to the guitar playlists and Skadovosk/Yanov * General bugfixing. You will now not get radio messages during emissions when you're standing right next to the guy sending them and stuff like that. Also made the surge_notification setting actually work as intended. * More graphics options! Built in to the game, you can now set certain console variables in the options menu. Including enabling functional anti-aliasing. * Probably more stuff I can't remember Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Sep 25, 2014 |

I have been shagging about with dds files for years, although their entire formatting system is a little odd recently, (normals alpha standing in for how matte or shiny something is requires a bit of messing about blindly for me) but, one thing I can do is resize the icon maps for smg's and anything else you want int the pistol slot, but, that requires someone then telling the game via lua or whatever about these icons and how its all cool for them to be in the pistol slot, or remake them altogether, plus, as far as retexturing ok models with lovely textures, I can frankenstein acceptable textures over the old ones easily enough, hand tweak and age them a bit as well, it would mean I can get through a lot rather quickly as well, I recall Aliundo or another guy that did some beautiful tex work for fallout and stalker actually posting in either this thread or earlier, if they dont mind me recycling some textures, that will make things faster and smoother. the + of this is almost everything metal/wood/plastic will look similarly aged, the - being unless I retint everything a little bit, there may be a little repetition, personally, I think all pickup guns should be worn, with the exception of virgin stuff thats been in some stash for a few years, some stuff found in military bases, store rooms and so on, by store rooms, I think the bandit camp in dark valleys treasure room, and so on, and they would, along with custom weapons, receive a slightly different texture, notched butts and so on. (edit : and so on, tl;dr, lets make a collab dropbox for texturing models, and I will go through them and improve the textures and Icon sheets.) staberind fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Sep 25, 2014 |

Minor MLC patch incoming soon: Version 1.1 * Changed ghillie suit. Now has no nightvision, but you can wear a mask/helmet with it. It presumably goes over the rest... why would it have a dedicated helmet? Removed all electrical resistance, slightly reduced radiation resistance to compensate for being allowed to wear a helmet. Removed custom 'ghillie' hud, as it's now controlled by the helmet you wear (if any) * Exoskeleton now doesn't start off with upgrades. You need to buy them. Increased price of upgrades. It's pretty much the best outfit, no need to make it even better. * Changed scopes to 'open' versions. Looks slightly better. * Changed L85's scope to the CWS, modified the night vision to second gen. * Added basic russian localization. * Added tracers to bullets. * Reduced weight and increased price of mutant parts/artifacts. Now more worthwhile hunting for them. * Fixed icon for cyanide. * Changed exoskeleton so you can no longer wear a dedicated helmet. For all intents and purposes, it's a closed-system suit. Added in cut dynamic hud for exo. * Added in modified renderer dlls and optimized lua dll. USE AT OWN RISK. * Added in missing helmets during game start. Whoops, my bad. * Added in cut random events in Zaton. * Added a few extra new stories to the dialog manager texts. * Translated spawn menu to english. As with all patches, change classes at least once to copy new files over. Game will break otherwise. New game start should not be required.

I went back through the original CoP files and listened to all of the Mooze music again. Logic escapes me as to why. I can't stop listening to Zaton's day theme. I don't know why. It's so chill, yet distinctly unsettling at the same time. Jupiter's night theme is pretty awesome too, as is Pripyat's day theme.

I was going to complain about the rate of knife degradation (even with a sniper it's a bit too fast), but hopefully raising the price on mutant parts balances that out. Misery is... alright now? The economy changes in 2.1.1 make earning cash a much less tedious experience, new anomalies make exploration more interesting and unpredictable, more music (I got pretty stoked when It Was A Good Day started playing, and like all the audio "glitches"), new flavor stuff is cool... gently caress, looks like I'm dragged back in.

I think I'm just going to reinstall it in "Rookie Mode" and see if it makes any more sense. I had pretty much no trouble at all with the actual difficulty of the game, but when getting grazed by anything at all drops your armor condition by >10% and you have to sell 10 looted AKs to break even on a travel sewing kit (actual retail price $4), it's mighty hard to give a poo poo.

Oh right, I forgot that I'm using rookie mode as well. Standard is just silly. Even in rookie mode some of the damage resistance on NPCs seems excessive. Trying the Water Plant mercs and the guys in standard stalker suit style outfits require 3 or more body shots with a high-caliber rifle (head shots are at least a guaranteed kill, though). edit: Yo Ddraig quote:FATAL ERROR Getting this crash when trying to loot izloms. Specifically the ones hanging out behind the Iron Forest, if that matters (they're the only izloms I've come across so far). edit 2: Also found an exploit: ARS adds the option to refill flasks; if you have an empty flask and talk to Beard, you can fill the flask, but immediately after filling it another empty flask will show up in Beard's inventory - buy that and you can fill it again, which will cause another empty flask to be available for purchase, fill that, buy another one, fill it, etc. Buying the flask and filling it is 190RU; the full coffee flask sells back to Beard for about 4400RU.
