Changing the Steam launch shortcut properties to Start In the game directory rather than the /bin directory inside it seems to have made it Steam compliant. Cant take screenshots though

Are anomalies supposed to be devoid of artifacts in CoC? I once found a crystal in an anomaly at Garbage but otherwise I've only found artifacts on dead stalkers (BTW it is cool how sometimes a stalker will announce on the radio that he's found an artifact and if you track him down he'll actually have it in his inventory). Stashes also seem pretty barren, almost always just having a paltry bit of ammo and medical supplies. It's also seems kinda funny that mercenaries are neutral to loners. I've been so used to them just being better equipped bandits but I guess they've become good guys and now wild territory and dead city are just about the safest places in the zone.

^ im also having that problem. the only artifact i found was from a quest reward. so playing coc with arsenal overhual, is every gun not chambered in 7.62 or 9x39 supposed to be completely worthless against humans? even when im using armor piercing bullets with the ak74 or m16 it takes like 10 shots to down a dude if im shooting their chests, and these are for bandits. its even more ridiculous when im fighting dudes with actual armor like the military.

I'm not sure if I've expressed it before, but I was disappointed with AO3 and how badly they seemingly implemented it into COC. Some things were just straight up not done properly. This was so bad that COC actually included, in its own patches, functionality for AO3 to work properly. I'm not sure if AO3 has a new version for COC 1.4 but I suspect many of the problems people are getting with AO3 are due to them half assing it. There was a fan port before the official one that actually looked at COC and how various scripts etc use them and actually created a fairly competent port. Far better integrated than the official one.

Roobanguy posted:^ im also having that problem. the only artifact i found was from a quest reward. You find Artifacts on dead dudes a good bit of the time, since they were off wandering and are immune to anomalies themselves. Also, yeah I was gonna say the AO3 thing seems... farty. Lack of any attachable scopes for NATO guns past the ACOG for instance really sucks, since I'd love to make my SCAR-H into a marksman variant. Big problem with the 5.56 and 5.45 is that they are at a Power level of like 0.40, compared to loving 0.80 for 7.62x51/54 that the NATO Battle rifles and Dragunov use. 6.8mm SPC is 0.7 or 0.75. So idk why they didnt just round up 5.56 and 5.45 a bit to 0.6 power, rather than 0.4. Penetration drops off massively at range too it seems. Though for the 5.56/5.45 rifles, using the AP ammo yields much much better results than the default poo poo. And that doesnt even start on the weird SMG/pistol damage problems. 4.7mm and 5.7mm are absolutely useless, even versus modest armor. I thought their gimmick was meant to be good armor-piercing qualities, but poor post-penetration wounds. Here, you get the latter only

I, myself, like playing as a merc. You've got a decent amount of groups you can go maul and are relatively alright with loners, non faction traders and ecologists. Plus I love playing in the Dead City but I hate having to resweep it constantly if I play a different faction. The biggest issue I had so far is friendly fire. Had to pass through Rostok and came in from Garbage. Took out the Duty sentries and started meeting the main force inside the "Get out of here stalker" building since I could get them to bunch up by the other doorway while I had plenty of cover. Middle of the firefights Loners constantly come in to start searching bodies, and once one gets blasted, now they all come to womp on your rear end too. Actually had General Veronin come out one play through and dumped him down by the sentry post. That feature's kinda neat that he won't always stand in one spot while you curbstomp Duty. Also love that they're fairly quick to chase you down now, you don't have to wait for them to bumble around back and forth for cover as they try to find you. Still don't like that mutants spawn like mad at the other end of Rostok. Usually when I do go there it's because I'm limping back with badly damaged stuff and a firefight with a pack of dogs/pseudodogs/bloodsuckers/those goddamned loving cats is really not a fun thing to have.

I have been using a Glock 21 and it even dropped an exoskeleton within one poorly aimed magazine. I just picked up an FNP45, which will be pretty awesome with the extra 2 rounds and the suppressor height sights. If you can pick up an SMG in .45, that would probably be the best SMG option. Penetration and damage multiplier is better than 10mm, and it's best penetration and damage are on the same type of ammo.

Well not to mention the FOV model clipping issues i'm having now, and haven't in the past. There are also indications on the models that make me feel like they slacked off in updating/polishing them. That and the whole thing about the ammo being poorly represented. Seriously an mp7 or p90 should be pretty lethal up to 200 meters, as long as you tag them more than a few times.. Everyone in the zone IS covered in armor. Maybe make the initial damage small but open up a pretty gaping wound? NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Oct 1, 2016 |

I've been trying to use shotguns and pistols more for some extra challenge because 6ish years of headshotting stalkers with 4x scoped assault rifles is boring, but the guns just plain not being effective is another thing. Especially when everything was working fine with another mod pack in 1.3, its too jarring. Like why put in all these rando guns and ammo types if they all suck rear end modders. Sure I'll use a .357 revolver, oh wait the ammo is 10k rb for a box of 20? lol

I really would like to play with a ton of guns so I've taken to hand changing a bunch of variables in the weapons.ltx. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just copy/paste as much as I can from the OWR files, and I probably might also up the player resistances in actor.ltx I'm also thinking of using [url="https:////www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/my-preferred-configuration"]this[/url] addon which ups the hit_power values for all the weapons but I'm not so sure about it. http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/my-preferred-configuration

I liked the variety in AO3 but the guns were all too easy to access, which made CoC's shaky balance even worse. I switched to OWR3 for the meantime since the textures and animations are significantly better. Also I'm hoping Warfare gets updated soon. I want some direction in the game apart from going to places, and the ability to "advance" through the Zone and establish new bases instead of traveling all the way back to your main area every time you're selling valuable crap and/or upgrading equipment.

I'm no gun expert but the vanilla ammo seems to cover most bases, just have your new guns use that stuff. Maybe add in the new guns' ingame descriptions that they've been modified to use more easily available ammo.

Default COC is literally identical to COP in weapon configs, damage etc. I think COC fixes a few bugs and that's it. It's functionally identical to COP, with all the balance issues that comes with that.

I think you have to make a shortcut to the .exe and put -dbg in the target. There should be instructions in the readme_credits file. I'm probably cheating them in, too. It's one thing to randomize spawn locations, but making them rare drops is a dick move.

Basic sets seem to be more common in stashes in the Southern maps - at least they were in 1.4RC1. The new 1.4.0.4 patch gives traders a low probability chance of having them for sale.

Even though STALKER may have covered all the bases on guns/ammo I don't really think it did it in a way that feels realistic. I don't think the bandits get enough credit. They're realistically the number 1 link to the black market, so the bandits probably bring in most of the guns used in the zone. Any faction that's paramilitary would have to smuggle guns into the zone. Also I can bet that drug usage is way higher than the game gives it credit for... blow/meth/amphetamines would be highly desirable. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Oct 2, 2016 |

Speaking of toolsets, you can totally ignore that whole thing in CoC because Professor Kruglov (one of the ecologists at Yantar) can perform every modification without tools and also does it at like half the price. He runs around outside the actual lab bunker but he seems to be just about invincible. It feels a little cheaty but if you're gonna spawn tools in anyway then there ya go.

Did anyone pick up that itemsoup+outfits mod that went live a day ago? It seems to be gone now - I downloaded it yesterday and then applied the newest AO patch, which made all the new item icons go screwy. Not game breaking, but annoying, so if anyone grabbed it and could toss me a download link I'd be much obliged.

Sweet, that's what I mean. once you are on your feet and have a decent rifle/suit, you can vend everything practically, just keeping the odd piece here and there. Tunder (OTs-14) & Storm still have no optics, as far as I can see. dealbreaker. <wrong, there are 3 pso scopes, two share a newer Icon and one works on the Tunder. Also , I suspect artifact drops are tied to emissions. if you are having no luck finding them, you might need to wait till fresh after an emission. I have picked up a few. possibly the best so far is, oddly, in Cordon, -4 rads. anomaly near the far east rail tunnel, south of fence. (check top of train while you are there.) picking up a nice sniper (i forget,) from the body of a bandit, I felt blessed by the zone, as I had earlier picked up a fairly useless M60, with 100 rounds. I eventually had it repaired, no upgrades available, but eh, and stashed it ready for my next push north. excellent. finally long range instant death. I step out of the farm, just north of the railbridge in cordon, to find another dead bandit pinata, with a better sniper in near pristine condition. Doh.
