its an idea to have a look at logs if the game crashes a lot. or in the same way in a certain spot, and post the results.
the above is due to a detector beep being at 22khz not 44khz, or something like that, I remedied it by removing the ogg from my gamedata folder and letting the game use the original one.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


Switching to dx11 from dx10 seems to have fixed the crash bug i was having.

Does anyone know where I can get the merc exoskeleton legit? Or a mechanic who can upgrade an exoskeleton in general? I added the merc exoskeleton to the merc trader (cause it seemed weird he'd sell the regular exo and not the merc one) but the merc mechanic can't upgrade it.

Nice, thanks!

I've run into a weird bug. I had a contract killer mission to kill a guy, and I killed the guy, but the mission isn't registering as complete, it's just pointing me to the corpse of the guy i killed. Maybe I need to double kill him?

Rerolled as a bandit, got a "job" to take some friends out looting. Got bored popping the odd Loners and Duty patrols in the Garbage, so we wiped out the entire bar area. Duty and the Barman are now one with the Zone.

Holy poo poo Limansk, what a fun area. I'm in that underground busted up place to the north of it right now, trying to get onto the balcony in the last room before the exit. Monolith guys keep spawning up there and they can get up and down without a problem but I'm not having any luck, even stacking boxes and poo poo.

One of them had the railgun by the way, holy poo poo. And at least three have had rocket launchers (which they don't know how to use, judging by how often they blow themselves up).

Are the difficulty settings tied to the numbers of enemies that spawn? I had a total of like 12 guys in Limansk, spread through the entire area. Generally just like 2 or 3 tops in a building, but I was playing on Rookie.

There's two repair kits: basic and advanced.

Both are sold by traders, but the latter are much rarer.

As far as I can tell the only mechanic that can do tier 3 repairs is Forester in the Red Forest.

Go to Dead City, kill everyone (~35 mercs and bandits), sell the ammo you loot. Money problems solved. I think my net gain was right around 30k after repairs and supplies I couldn't find on enemies.

That's also how I wound up with like a 90% SIG550. Cobbled a bunch together with a repair kit I looted from corpses. Ditched my Abakan due to low stopping power.

CoC is standalone, don't install it in your CoP folder. The installer does a registry check if CoP has been installed to appease GSC, but there's no other dependency between the two games.

CoC overrides a lot more than gamedata (bin, db files to start), so don't do this. You'll mess up both CoP and CoC.

Yeah CoC is a fantastic foundation for new Stalker experiences, but it feels very barren at the moment. I can cross a map and maybe run into one or two packs of dogs and less than ten humans. Are there any easily editable settings to alter this?

The 2 round burst from a modded AN94 with AP rounds will drop most people you meet. And if it simply staggers them..another 2 round burst to the face will work. You should be going for headshots anyway, especially against guys in the heavy military suits or exoskeletons. Slap a scope on the AN94 and you have a general purpose death machine that's easy to fix and has ammo everywhere; plus the PSO-1 reticle's rangefinder works surprisingly well with the 5.45 ammo even past 200 meters. Most NATO guns just have a plain crosshair (I'm lookin at you, Steyr AUG) and I guess you're supposed to eyeball it at long range or something?

Good/cool stalkan story: Some military jerks were sniping at me in the cordon so I killed them all, sneaked up behind the sniper hiding on the railroad bridge and kicked his rear end, he gave me his stash location before he decided to pull a Makarov on me and seal his death warrant. The stash was on the way to one of Siddy's contract hits so I figured it'd be a good place to stop by and check it out, it might be something usefu- :stare:

Most of the respawn_idle was drastically increased just before release. People playing the pre-release leak were complaining about too much stuff going on.

I've created an "Alife Debalance" that basically reverts the global alife rebalance Bangalore did on 6th September.

If you have giant flaming chimeras who shoot RPGs out of their cocks coming after you 24/7 just remember that you have been warned.

Probably requires a new game start. Gives you a good excuse to roll Monolith and kill the infidel.

I'm thinking I'd like to try out CoC after a long hiatus from serious trips into into The Zone.

Since my time is fairly limited, I'd like a nicely-modded (stable) first experience of CoC since once I get going I don't plan to do multiple restarts to try different things out (and I want to avoid corrupted saves). All of these different mods, branches and permutations are a bit overwhelming.

- I was thinking maybe OWR3 and some kind of nice cosmetic packs. Instead of OWR3 should I wait for AO3 to be adapted for CoC, is it more fun?

- For texture/weather mods, what's the consensus? Atmosfear, Absolute Nature, Absolute Structures?

- I'd also want to adjust the trader weapon condition to change the buy threshold, is that something I have to do manually or is there a mod with a fix for it included somewhere?

- Are there a bunch of other fixes for bugs and annoyances I might need to grab?

Rush Limbo

Atmosfear is already included with COC. I've made Absolute Structure/Nature packs for the addons that annoy Russians.

My COC mod adds a few minor things, the main one (hud overlays) is optional with a menu option. 1.9 is now uploading and it contains all patches and fixes from the COC repo right up to this moment, so it's pretty much an unofficial patch aswell.

quote:

1.9:

You guessed it, more COC repo changes:

* Changed immunities/protection for shock damage with exoskeletons.
* Modified xr_box and bind_physic_object - should now have more consistent behaviour.
* Boxes can now contain anything.


1.8:

Even more changes from COC repo:

* Fixed crash related to phantoms.
* Fixed xr_camper
* Further tweaked relations.
* Lowered repair cost factor.

1.7:

Further changes from the COC repo:

* Fixed death manager.
* Disabled DOF when zooming in
* Improved xr_camper
* Further changes to various AI schemes
* Fixes to X16 logic

1.6:

Further changes from COC repo:

* reduce LOD textures
* Enemy alive check to combat ignore
* Additional checks to axr_campfire
* Fixes to faction relations.
* Changes to stalker vision thresholds
* Removal of duplicate fields in m_cat.ltx
* Monolith suits correctly added to inventory_upgrades.ltx


1.5:

* Loading a save with an updated game version should now correctly delete atmosfear_options.ini and load new default settings automatically.
* Changes to close combat with xr_camper scheme.
* Default grass distance now set to 50 on high/extreme presets.

https://mega.nz/#F!V4M3HYiK!ytP_5PQmAI2SYkOuCS2zCA

Currently only 1.8 is available, but 1.9 is uploading as I type this so wait a few minutes for that.

Beretta vs Walther. Go.

I'm using 9mm because ammo is lighter and holds more per mag. Anyone see any real difference between the two pistols I named? We're talking 1 round difference in capacity and minor weight. Classy points go to 92FS, though...

So, CoC wishgranter spoilers:

The game forcibly crashing when picking the "I want the Zone to disappear" option is hilarious. That IS intended behaviour, right?

The "riches" and "immortal" options are obvious, but what happens when you pick "humanity must be controlled"? And am I right in assuming that "world peace" removes all NPCs ?

1. Yes. Check the log.

2. World peace removes all npcs and stops them from spawning. Humanity must be controlled makes all respawns at all smart terrains controllers instead of what they normally would be. I like this, as if you come back from the Wish Granter not knowing what it does you're seriously going to wonder what the gently caress is up.

I take it you're using the OWR3 addon? Use the outfits.ltx from that (configs/misc/outfits.ltx)

The one in my mod is only a change to exoskeleton shock protection, so it's no huge loss.
