If I ever got my dream mod it'd just be the look of Misery and a really fleshed out urban areas. Is there some x-ray limitation that stops people from opening up the buildings in Prypiat?

Make sure you get clear sky complete and/or the faction wars mod. Clear Sky is really fun.

I think Clear Sky is probably my favourite of the three but it runs like poo poo for me. Getting a mod that fixes the weapons is a must, though, the base guns are atrociously bad, even upgraded.

For the love of god this, otherwise your bullets will leave the barrel at 30 degree angles

I don't know if it's anything like SHOC but pace your shots, as there is a settle time (think it's around a second) and once you figure that out you can get surprisingly accurate.

Oh no it's not that, it has to be experienced to believed. Almost forgot about the grenades, hahah hope you enjoy grenades.

Hah! It's kinda weird how GSC evolved the mechanics. SHOC seemed very ridiculous and I didn't fully understand it until reading the ZRP notes. COP's was much better in that you could do pretty well with the starting AKS-74U as long as you were careful, and the PM was much more accurate than in SHOC.

The 'realistic weapons mod' suggested for SHOC Complete seems like a good idea, but it radically unbalances the game; the AK-74 remains competitive start to finish, the early game is very easy, the late game is very hard - whereas Vanilla is pretty progressive as long as you get the right guns.

I'll try CS with the complete mod as reading the OP it sounds poo poo without it.

There was a time where I was considering putting clear sky as my favorite vanilla stalker, then I met the military death turret.

That was quick! I lucked out with that pseudo-giant - he ran across the intersection of the tunnel to my front, and I never saw him again. It was fortunate too, because I was down to just my pistol having lost horrendous amounts of ammo battling the snorks and zombies with the professor in the swamp. It was my fault, really. I hadn't brought enough ammo before heading to X16.

Anyone else prefer SHoC's pripyat to COPs? Much as I love COP I felt their version was a bit dull.

For this run I brought along an RPG every where I went :metal101:.
I was playing Oblivion Lost for this, while it's a good mod for some things when it came to Prypiat it became the worst. It does this thing with controllers that beefs the poo poo out of them and adds insane attack damage on top of doubling their attack speed. What's worse is of there's a controller anywhere on the map your screen will sway side to side every few seconds- it's immensely frustrating and actually cause me to restart the game a few weeks ago because I couldn't figure out what was happening.

Does anyone know if there is a Clear Sky mod that makes the mouse move more quickly in menus? Vanilla SHoC had the same problem, which the Zone Reclamation mod fixed, but I can't find anything like that for Clear Sky. It's not a huge issue, but it would be nice if there's a simple fix.

I want to say Clear Sky Complete? I got to be serious here CS complete is great and if I could get a ballistics mod CS would be my favorite STALKER.

Alright so I need to be told how to get Shoker working or how to install it. I got it all set up how its readme tells me to do it. I try to start it from the host file in bin folder and it opens up the box, though it's all in Russian. Clicking on any of those either starts the game which instantly ctd's or it just doesn't do anything.

Get the installer, install it as best you can (the important parts are in English). Make sure you have a clean install of CoP or it'll probably crash. I didn't install Atmosphere or S.W.T.C, make sure you tick the steam version check box. Launch it from the icon on the desktop and click the top button, I think. If it didn't crash or mess up, you'll be greeted with a custom load game, new game, etc screen. Also, make sure you point it at the Stalker folder, not inside it or it'll mess up too.

Deleted and installed cop again. Then installed shoker. I can't really decipher what it says but whatever I saw the bits about steam. I started it and while it doesn't run the game the x-ray engine is running.

New Yantar is really neat. I imagine a lot of LA isn't surprising to people that have messed around with stuff like Build 1935 or whatever, but I'm having a blast.

It happens in build 1935, so maybe they're trying to keep the spirit of b1935 alive. :patriot:

I'm surprised they didn't add an easter egg that makes it so that every NPC is a military one, like in an unmodified copy of Build 1935.

Well I did actually see the helicopter after it posted that. It's just that the sound is like it's directly overhead even underground

So I guess I ran into a fun bug. The passcode I was given by the game to get into X-18 was wrong.


Almost every single one of my gunfights has ended with an NPC throwing a grenade at his feet. Granted, the fights beforehand were pretty good, but there's nothing like having a 30 minute gunfight end with a guy's body flying out of the darkness as his own grenade detonates.

Hahah hell yes I've seen a monolith squad get taken out by a friendly grenade.

Then there was that excellent piece someone wrote about their personal back story for the Black Road where Degtyarev is robbed and raped by a group of bandits because they gonna gently caress you til you love them.

Reminds me of watching a video for a big upcoming ArmA3 mod where for a split second a 'rape' command came up on the action wheel.
