hell, i'd always see mutants dragging away my dead body after i died if i waited long enough. has anyone made a campaign for CoC? something like ogse+coc would be delightful, if there isn't a campaign i'd have half a mind to learn how to make one myself.

Is there a way to alter the FOV for Call of Pripyat? 50 is kinda narrow for me.

Haha, I did the Chimera hunting quest for Trapper in Yanov. Found a nice spot up on a hill to camp out and wait for the thing. It spotted me and tried to run up the hill. It stepped on a landmine and died. Much easier than expected.

It stepped on a landmine and died. I got lucky when I did it. I timed it perfectly by pure accident to get through the Oasis just in time to pop out on top of that building while some dude was taking shots at the Chimera nearby. So after he died I just sat up there and sniped the Chimera. It eventually saw me and came over to gently caress my day up but just couldn't manage to get up there. On a second play through I tried to get him to rampage through the bandit holdout with all the shipping containers, but he'd never follow the whole way.

Urgh, it's been too long since I played this game. I forgot you could give Morgan's PDA back to Duty and get into their armory. I was an idiot and sold it to Owl, so I'm locked out.

Made it to pripyat proper and helped the military ambush monolith. Now I feel kind of aimless. With the military located I don't have that much drive to complete the plot and I'm just wandering around collecting ever scarcer artifacts. I swear I found more high value artifacts with a Veles detector than the svarog.

I swear I found more high value artifacts with a Veles detector than the svarog. Something that kept me hooked on SoC was playing Oblivion Lost and doing the artifact transmutations to see if I could actually get all of the rare super stuff and just collecting artifacts themselves and stashing them away, even those useless cobblestones. But the other two games there just doesn't seem to be that desireable a goal once the game ends. Currently giving Faction Wars a whirl after sitting on it for a while, and while early on the game seemed like it was purposely trying to gently caress me, now it's just getting to an endless slog of "your teammates are loving useless, everything you captured falls instantly". Really pissed me off when a group of loners decided to walk through the firefight between myself and Freedom only to find out you have to pay that sanction to get your guys to respond to radio calls after I leveled the Freedom base. So once I got back after solving that little issue, Freedom had already repopulated the place like a bunch of loving rabbits.

From my understanding CoC just requires CoP to be installed just to prove you actually purchased a game and not getting this totally free. It doesn't actually use CoP for anything since CoC is stand alone.

As brutal as the game is the one thing I always felt lacking was a good gore system. Not only is is badass it provides a decent visual reason why you can't take a dead guy's armor. It probably would have been nice to have a sequel some other NPP disaster like 3 mile island but blown out of proportion for the plot.

An idea I had was that a Zone directly on the opposite side of the globe from the original forms. This would be the South Pacific, far from land. The opening cutscene would be a scientific helicopter expedition with Strelok doing a flyover, with him looking down at strange poo poo going on on and just below the surface of the ocean. Something something THE ZONE IS DESTABILIZING EVEN MORE and another (explorable) Zone pops up in Canada or something. Also Strelok would be terminally ill with some Zone related disease and would be a supporting character for a new protagonist. There would be a very different atmosphere due to location, not to mention a significantly less Slavic influence. I dunno.

Yeah a frozen tundra landscape would be killer, or a landscape in a very hostile place like Australia where the majority of the fauna there can already kill you. The one thing I agree that needs to remain constant would be the slavic influence. So why not Siberia? Everything there is already trying to kill you and it's a frozen landscape. Just one thing that needs to happen is a completely different biome with completely different monsters, anomalies and mechanics. A slavic influence could remain if the zone itself was teleported to a completely different location, taking everyone and the culture with it. Also a good reason for replacing the fauna or at least most of it be the side effects of displacement of the zone. It either killed the mutants already there outright, changed them or entire species were killed because the new mutants kicked their collective rear end. And everyone who survived was taking shelter because it seemed like just another emission. Except the zone pulled a The Island from Lost instead of getting sick all over the place. So the majority of the people there would still be slavic. AND all the slavs would be Vets at this point. So any influence from the culture of the new location could be interesting yet still background. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Jul 25, 2016 |

But then I think how Hollywood will gently caress it up and decide no, that might not be great. And holy gently caress. After playing faction wars for a while I decided to run through SoC again for the hell of it. It's reading the Clear Sky folder despite them being in separate locations and got the mother of all glitches while trying to cross into the Dark Valley. Endless stream of rodents, dogs, psuedodogs, and snorks. So bad that it keeps crashing my game because the game engine can't handle it all.

One of the english Stalker books, "Southern Comfort", is actually about a New Zone in Afghanistan. It's quite a good book, as far as video game tie ins go.

I've been meaning to read Southern Comfort. The other one, which I forgot the name of, was pretty decent. Felt in line with the universe. A few groanworthy quotes from the game like WAY TEW LOAD OFF ALL THAT CRRAP ON ME, ILL KNOW BETTER NEXT TIME. But also I hardly read fiction in general so what do i know.

I've been getting that stalker itch again, i tried playing through the Metro Redux games but its like methadone and i can't loot till my eyes bleed. What's the new hotness in stalker modding? I don't really care about the story now but i do like having faction warfare/missions/something to do to structure my free-roam. I also like a slower progression from bottom of barrel pistol to automatics to tactilol AR with exoskeleton so anything that keeps that intact somewhat would be great.

You're probably best of waiting until the new 1.4 release drops, it promises a lot of new improvements as well as a minimalist story mode to drive you through the maps if you want. That release may be as soon as next week if one of the devs is accurate in their statement. If you want to try it right now, the 1.4RC version in addons has better missions than the released 1.3.20 version but also comes with a few bugs. I get crashes every hour or so, but still prefer it to 1.3.20. For guns, I find the STCoP addon better quality overall than AO3 but that's subjective.

I'd love there to be a STALKER type game set in the Half Life universe. The Black Mesa Research Facility as the equivalent of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, where the disaster was the interdimensional accident in original Half Life 1, caused by experimenting with some "anomalous material" from another dimension. Could be set a few months or years after Half Life 1 if you wanted it before the Combine invasion, or several years later if you want the Combine to be a presence in the game. (Wouldn't make much difference... you either have human military soldiers and helicopters, or Combine cyborg soldiers and helicopters. Either way, they shoot at you.) At the end of the Half Life expansion Opposing Force the facility was nuked by the government, and the Black Mesa facility had a bunch of nuclear reactors anyway (such as the Lambda Core), so there's good reason for there to be lots of Chernobyl style radiation. During the original game lots of alien creatures from another dimension appeared, each in a flash of light and bolts of green lightning. There was an entire ecosystem of alien animals that appeared randomly due to the dimensional rift. There was even alien plants and fungi growing towards the end of the game. The alien life forms are the perfect equivalent for STALKER's mutants. So the setting would be that the New Mexico desert has become a huge exclusion zone, ravaged by strange dimensional anomalies, radiation, and weird alien creatures. However the alien dimension contained exotic matter / anomalous material, and due to the dimensional overlap deposits of this rare and valuable stuff are forming on Earth. Artifacts! So various groups of people try to venture into the zone, though the government (or Combine) tries to keep them out. Perfect STALKER set up. Also in Half Life 2 a newspaper clipping says 'world ravaged by Portal Storms' and shows a photo of a huge thunderstorm with big bolts of lightning. Those 'portal storms' could be the equivalent of blow outs / emissions. And as well as being a dangerous radioactive storm, it would cause lots of alien creatures to randomly spawn in from the dimensional rift, and create deposits of exotic matter (artifacts). Also, the nice thing is that if people didn't fancy the setting of the American New Mexico desert... the portal storms are supposed to have spread across the world, and are the explanation for why the whole world ends up full of alien creatures. Indeed Half Life 2 is set in Eastern Europe. So while Black Mesa might be the original zone, can have the game set anywhere in the world, as long as at least one portal storm has hit that region. Chernobyl type zones popping up all over the world.

In Call of Chernobyl, what pistol does best against armored enemies? I'm thinking it's either a 9mm with the 7N21 AP ammo, the 10mm, or the Five-seveN. I'm doing a run where I basically don't use assault rifles, because they are too good all around and make it boring. At any given point, I'm either going to be carrying a sniper rifle, machine gun, or the KS-23, with a pistol as backup. .40 or .45 FMJ does a good enough job on bandits and other lightly armored enemies, but it would take an entire magazine to bring down an exoskeleton.

I do like the 10mm, and 10mm JHP fucks up any mutant short of a chimera. It does pose a problem when I just have a 10mm and a vintorez when I meet a chimera, though. A pseudogiant I can run from, but it's a lot harder to lose a chimera. Maybe if I learn the holdover on the KS-23 I can use slugs on that rather than a Vintorez. A slug from that will kill even an exoskeleton, and I bet a magazine would kill a pseudogiant. Has anyone gotten the M60 or PKM to have decent accuracy? I'm wondering if part of my problem with the 249 is accuracy causing me to need to use too much ammo. What variable in weapons.ltx should I adjust to decrease the rate a weapon wears down? 2-2.5 magazines in on the m249 and it's already jamming. Also, what graphics settings do I need to make the EOtech work? I'm on minimum because I had to switch to a older, weaker power supply while my old one is getting RMAed. The reflex sight and soviet reflex sight have a low end setting where it just looks painted on, but the EOtech is just blank. I know that's a lot of questions.
