Papaver rhoeas, the corn poppy, or Flanders has been used as a symbol of remembrance since the battles that took place in the French Flanders during WWI. It is common to see them used when honoring fallen Soldiers. In the USA the American Legion(VFW, but different) sells a bunch of little poppy ornaments around Memorial Day.

tl;dr: the war

Daily reminder. Fuck Russia. Slava Ukraini. Stalker 2 is the best Stalker game. End of.

>>527760301
Standalone overhaul of SoC that veers into soup territory. You have a lot of guns and calibres so you're bound to find something you'll enjoy firing. But there are also nazi dream sequences and an underground monolith bunker section. Sid will make you drive his tractor from the swamps to cordon in exchange for a nice gun and other stuff like that. It's pretty fun.

Now you can be a desert warrior in the zone!

Playing analmeme as a big game hunter in the employ of the scientists. Pretty much what you'd think. Bolts/shotguns only, can only eat things I kill, only take on mutant missions, etc.

Question is... is the Guass rifle too much or naw? It is like the king of elephant guns, but it might be just a bit too jazzy. IDK.

I coudn't care less about what nu-GSC does.
They've dropped the ball so hard with stalker 2.

I quit neeting some time ago to have money for a new PC to finally be able to play Stalker 2. Now I have money but I have no desire or energy to play video games. What a disappointing situation.

Sure is nice to download a couple hundred gigabytes in less than 20 minutes because Steam has a proper server infrastructure.

>>527769958
I like the idea of using the gauss rifle to take down the bigger mutants like chimeras and pseudogiants. An elephant gun you only pull out for the biggest hunts.

But it's up to you.

>>527768567
>if you thought your favorite vidya series was ruined by gamma streamers
This crowd already gave us that tacticool "mercs are le western PMC" fan film, I don't think netflix would do any worse.
At least Stalker 2 mostly had good art design when it comes to mutants, anomalies, stalker outfits etc.

>>527772635
I guess I'll have to try out some of the .338 options. Apparently you can also chamber swap the barret to 12.7x55 and pretend its a 12.7x99 so that might be an option too.

Can't find a suitable answer anywhere else so i'll ask here.
Stalker 2, Huron the trader in the Slag Heap keeps everything I sell him in his store inventory. So far this means nothing but being able to buy back loads of ammo and meds at a loss but there is also a shitload of guns, suits, pdas and notes that clutter up the store.
Using the common reset trader inventory method that pops up in a web search does nothing, and it seems no one else has this 'problem'.

>>527783324
I havent tried reseting him from buying him out of an item he sells, but on mine his stock has persisted for a long time too.

>>527774674
tell me more about this take anon, genuine question. i am new to this general

i do remember seeing parts of some fan film and feeling like it was overly tacticool gunfights and not really "stalker"

>>527784756
nta but scptards who never played stalker made a tacticool larp film

>>527774674
is this about shadow of the zone or some shit? i remember wendigoon shilling it which is pretty high profile i guess

>>527783975
>buying him out of an item he sells
Full ammo stacks remain (9mm) if I just buy out the partial stack, which does reset. Buying a full stack removes it and is not replaced by a reset.
Havent tried with meds yet but probably the same.
I guess all I really care about is the bulky suits and guns but getting rid of them piecemeal is tedious and costly. At least ammo is useful.

I turned the movie off after that one scene where they walk out into a field (I think?) and the mercs ask the loner if maybe they should throw some bolts and shit.
Of course, our brave tacticool B.E.A.R. loner didn't want naw bolts in the depths of the Zone, where anomalies could be literally fucking everywhere, and responds with something like "it's not needed".
I think this scene followed a 5 minute long operatorfest where the merc operators were operating operationally with NVGs on and sniped a few bandits with retarded cheesy voice lines and callsigns through the radio.
Yeah, it's retarded. I'm a huge /k/tard myself, but there's a colossal difference between actually cool and tactical, and retarded westoid operatorslop where the average viewer doesn't even have an idea as to what a .22 short is while LARPing as a super knowledgeable niche interest autist gun guy man, and AWOOGA-ing at western guns with quadrails that have 3 canted scopes and 2 tactiacl devices attached to them.
Man, why can't we have a proper /k/-/sg/ movie? Just make the stalkers be actual stalkers, except with a neat focus on properties of their weapons etc. Introduce a few interesting niche calibers, make the characters buy experimental +p+ AP rounds from the vendor, insert a few gun autismo references. It would be kino, unlike whatever the fuck the current western operatorslop is.

>>527788457
Isn't there only like one anomaly during the whole thing which just plays out as

>>527880423

Derp. That's true. Does it affect bullet protection at all?

No, bullet protection is only affected by bulletproof cap.

Yep. Periodic burnouts always happen when you have a passion or hobby or whatever that you love for a long amount of time, no matter what it is. I have the same thing with stalkan - I will adore it for half a year, then will forget about it for a few months, and then will return again. That's just how life is.

I've had it with you Grok, I just reinstalled all of GAMMA It took like 3 hours, just to try and fix my radio issue, it still happens, still my radios die out after a few game loads, not having radio in bar is extremely immersion breaking, let alone the pda radio, fix this shit please I'm spamming the bug report section in the discord no one is even reacting to my message

it has very few redeeming features, unless you have a very good pc it's not even worth trying it imo because the perfomance is so bad, before someone says haha ur poor I have the best pc money can buy, it cost more than you car and i'm still not happy with the performance/visuals, UE5 is just dogshit, lumen is dogshit, the cutscenes are dogshit, it's 95% dogshit - theres no real mod support yet its just people tweaking configs mostly

>even in the current patch it takes 15 headshots with the gauss rifle to kill a pseudogiant
>in OT it was 1 shot
What the fuck is with mutants being literal bullet sponges in this dogshit? Even Grok who makes "le hardcore gaymma" nerfed their health.

Isn't it funny that many of the mods for this game have been in development for 10+ years? Or close to 10 years at least.

lets be real, stalker was always dogshit

>>527920438
>t.assblasted gscord shill
grim

People aren't lying when they say there's no Alife in STALKER 2, you walk for miles and miles and you'll never run across another human. They only spawn in preselected areas. It's the same thing with mutants. Maybe mods have tainted my memory but the older games felt significantly more "lived in" when it came to mutants and stalkers.

Is GAMMA actually good or is it a meme? I want to randomly run into a chimera out in the wild and shit, not just during story missions. Will it give me that fix?

>STALKER 2 has no A-Life

Meanwhile I can't go from Malachite to Duga without being ambushed by 5-6 wandering mobs ranging from Monolith to Bandits to Ward with different loadouts and squad configs every time I die and reload

>>527943093
stalker 2 isn't a stalker game, it's a 'AAA' cutscene story game dressed in stalker clothes
sure go play gamma if you want to randomly run into a chimera while 4 dutiers appear out of nowhere and get stomped, but be warned of the intensely autistic crafting system it has, maybe other solutions are better for you if you are not into that

>>527943343
Yeah but they all just kinda rsndomly spawn in cuz the game thinks you need some aktyun

>>527944221

>Yeah but they all just kinda rsndomly spawn in

Congratulations, you just described the original "A-Life" from the OG trilogy.

>>527944458
Theyre different kinds of randomly spawning in tho

>>527945156
Eh, they really aren't.

spawning in enemies within 50 meters from the player is the same as having persistent npcs in the world with sandbox behavior...

i am losing my midn whenever i talk about stalker 2 having this awful slow motion inertia feelign to everyting

like the game feels laggy at 80 FPS, no frame gen involved, no vsync, itt feels laggy
something is very wrong under the skin and i can't put my finger on it but its a mess, i dont expect it'll ever be comfortable to play in the near future for me maybe with my PC 5-10 years from now

>>527943343
I'm not kidding when I say I NEVER saw anyone in the burnt forest/duga area lmao. It wasn't until I reached Pripyat that I actually started seeing wandering monolith. Outside of that the only stalkers I distinctly remember seeing were Freedom near Rostok fighting a pack of dogs.

I'm not exaggerating. I'm trying to think back and I don't believe I've ever once ran into a random shootout between stalkers. Freedom/Duty/Bandits/Monolith all seem to have their little bases that they sit inside of all day long. Is my game bugged? I don't know what the hell is going on.
>>527943667
>the intensely autistic crafting system it has
Yeah that's the main reason I haven't played it yet. I'm not sure how I'd feel about the autism crafting. STALKER 2 got me back into the zone but I want something that feels more lived in and STALKER 2 doesn't provide that. Any other modern mods suggestions that aren't for crafting autists?

>>527944458
Nope. In the OT the alife is always there, even if there is bubble that turns them online, they still exist when you walk away and move around offline. Not to mention the bubble is larger than in Stalker 2 and you never actually see any spawns, meanwhile in 2 you get npcs literally popping into existence 10 feet from you. In OT you walk away and come back, same NPCs there. In OT you encounter an NPC moving through different areas, you can run into them again in an entirely different area hours later. In 2 you walk away and come back and it's entirely new spawns because the alife despawned when you walked away. The names are meaningless, their gear meaningless, because it's all just randomly generated bullshit that spawns on top of you for a scripted event. They don't exist outside of a script that says "put enemies here because anon hasn't seen gameplay in his hour long jogging sim"

Mutants don't fight each other. Stalkers rarely fight mutants outside of the Base NPCs shooting at them if the mutants get too close. Mutants don't eat dead stalkers or drag their bodies around. Bloodsuckers don't even suck anymore. Mutants no longer have unique AI behaviors like Flesh running away unless there is an alpha present among them. Mutants don't limp anymore when you get them to low health. Mutants aggro to you immediately after spawning instead of living in the world and only attacking if you get too close or aggressive with them. Bloodsuckers cloak is visible and you no longer have to use the environment to see them. Stop shilling trash

>>527947308
try iwp or old world addon i think
you can play gamma without crafting if you enable the black market mod, and maybe play on tourist mode, that way you can just buy/loot equipment without having to craft, but still the item bloat is insane. if you are not into games with hundreds of items, and having to heal your hp with an entire pharmacy selection of meds then maybe it's not a good choice for you.

pretty

>>527952009
ur mom

We need to bring back the text-based rpg analogy for alife. I know the autists started hating it but it was one of the better ways to explain it.

STALKER 2's Alife is completely fucked and I don't have high hopes that they'll fix it any time soon, if ever.

>cant discuss S2 at all because a bunch of butthurt ziggers come out and accuse you of being a "bootlicker"

im not gonna defend it, because the game is blatantly unfinished, it might be a good game next year
however i cant stand you subhumans screeching and seething at it just because it was done by ukrops, who you now suddenly hate with a passion because a senile grandpa told you to 3 years ago

Precisely. I will only really play S2 in a few years, and I think it's in a horrible condition now, will never defend it. But the jeets on here who do nothing but shit up the thread 24/7 crying about hohols are the most retarded subhumans I've ever seen. It's so obvious that they don't even like stalker - not a single one of them has posted a single thing related to stalker itt.

how long did it take for vanilla SoC to become fairly playable? Far as I know its only had like 5-6 patches and after the 5th it was completely playable

>>528021024
it was fine after patch 1.0004, which dropped in august, 5 months after the release. subsequent patches were mostly for multiplayer.

>>528023781
nah its because whenever the PDA radio breaks the world radios break as well, and when the world radios (such as the ones in settlements like bar) work, the pda radio works as well, so they're connected in this case

Sorry but we need more tarkov mechanics and another tacticool weapon model pack :)

>>528003057
Desu it's not that either. It's slavs in a desolate shithole trying to scrape by. Going full contrarian due to the operator slop doesn't necessitate ignoring the desolate and dangerous atmosphere of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games that was from the very beginning planned and introduced by GSC - and before that, was also very much present in the book and the '79 film. Your way of thinking seems to be "stalkan is just fallout but with slavs" because retards sprinting around and shooting at everything is peak normieslop and basically what the newest Fallout games are all based on.

>>528027218
i know, but it's how you have to play the game, strelok runs at lightning speed and kites mutants in circles like he is sonic, while firing AK

>>528025015
>only way to further this is the old world mod
I use Less Items for Anomaly, which removes the crafting system entirely and all the junk items. It also allows you to sell weapons to technicians in any condition, which kind of breaks the economy, for better or worse, because now you have to pay to repair everything again.

Why not just play IWP if you don't want miseryslop?

I have come here to shill Shay's Living Zone Complete for STALKER 2. I've been playing with it for a few days now and it really transformed the game. I encounter a lot more NPCs roaming around and a lot more mutant spawns too, including burers and poltergeists which I don't think I've ever seen outside of scripted encounters in previous playthroughs.

There's some jank to it, still. I keep running across all these "ghost bodies", I can see the little x on the compass but there's no physical body on the ground. It seems like the offline alife is still fucked, if any enemy dies in offline mode it just leaves behind this ghost.

It's still better than vanilla so I'll take what I can get.

Kek, this entire thread summarized.

Have any of you guys used this mod? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-call-of-pripyat-cip
This dude keeps posting it on Reddit, and the reviews on ModDB look good, but I can't find a single mention of it outside of that site (aside from previously mentioned spamming). Is it some cool slav malware? lol

why the FUCK would you play some shitty complete-tier mod that masquerades as a bugfix?

>>527809146

Sidorovich

What the actual fuck happened here? Someone's bot malfunctioned? An attempt at a raid?

>>528068193
It looks like it's just a bugfix mod (unnecessary, COP is as bug-free as stalker gets) with a weapon reanimation/remodel pack and probably some shaders. It's another one of those mods that stupidly takes the fingerless gloves viewmodel and paints the fingers with a glove texture.

I have come here to shill IWP. I've been playing with it for a few days now and it really transformed the game. I encounter a lot more NPCs roaming around and a lot more mutant spawns too, including burers and poltergeists which I don't think I've ever seen outside of scripted encounters in previous playthroughs.

It's still better than vanilla so I'll take what I can get.

iwp is trash
no amount of armor protects you from simple shotguns, so the main selling point that is the guns is absolutely fucked
on top of that it's freeplay so it's boring, especially since you can get really good guns really easily

I have come here to shill Misery 2.2 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat. I've been playing with it for a few days now and it really transformed the game. I encounter a lot more NPCs roaming around and a lot more mutant spawns too, including burers and poltergeists which I don't think I've ever seen outside of scripted encounters in previous playthroughs.

There's some jank to it, still. I keep running across all these porn mags and toilet paper, but there's not really a use for them??? I picked Recon if it matters btw.
This mod is really cool and it transformed the original game because vanilla kinda sucks ajyway and feels old.

I encounter a lot more anons shitposting and a lot more repacks and mods too, including IWP and GAMMA, which I don't think I've ever played outside of 5 minutes in previous playthroughs.

There's some jank to it, still. I keep running across all these "samefags" I can see the little tells on their posts but there's no physical evidence on the site. It seems like the general is still fucked, if any anon cries it just leaves behind this copium and they get shit on.

It's still better than >>>/pol/ so I'll take what I can get. It just doesn't seem like it when they talk about hohols and vatniggers. What the fuck is a hohol anyway

I have come here to shill the greatest faction Loners for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. I've been playing with them for a few days now and it really transformed the game. I encounter a lot less monofags roaming around and a lot more Duty or Freedom spawns too, including burers and poltergeists which I don't think I've ever seen outside of scripted encounters in previous playthroughs.

There's some jank to it, still. I keep running across all these "rocks", I can see the little post on the PDA but there's no actual sense, they just keep saying "remove rock. You are the worst cult the idiot cult, return to powerplant, WE WILL GET YOU!!" But it seems like the monofag CNPP rock cult are is going away, finally. That hideous monofag smell is going away. Eugh i can still smell it. So disgusting C-con president will die when any monofag dies, i just take them to the loner base (sultanovsk) so i can bathe in dead monolith.

Anyone have a picture of a bridge in strelok 2? I want to see how detailed it is.

playing priboi story and got the quest for 20 bottles of vodka. Is there that many in the cordon? I've gotten 12 so far and saw 3 available to buy, but I'd imagine the cost of buying it would far outweigh the reward. do I just go to the garbage and then back?

>>528099532
nvm apparently the reward is being able to leave

>>527890935
Is this vanilla? How did you get there?

>>528077505
It is. You out yourself as having never played the series if you claim otherwise. There is a very, very low chance the "fixes" fix the few bugs there are, which are issues with scripted animations.

>>528099532
You'll probably have to grind. Depending on the version, dezowave or the 100 rads bar guy has a "lazy stalker" addon that drops the requirement down to 10, but you have to revert to a save before you took the quest if you want it to take effect.

I like the new TALKER AI dialogue concept, being able to talk to all and every NPC and bond with your companions in real time seems fun for freeplay purposes and might help with the lack of an objective when your objective is to roleplay. Only sucks you need OpenAI paid APIs.

There's no jank to it, it's fucking delicious. I keep running across all these "sauces", but none of them really compare and they all kinda just suck in some way... they just keep saying "slather it on your trannycock, anon!!" But it seems like the samefagging anon cult is going away, finally. That hideous trannycock smell is going away. Eugh i can still smell it. So disgusting /sg/ thread jannies will die when any anon dies, i just take them to the supermarket (sultanovsk) so i can bathe in dead anons.

looks like it works really well and only costs a few cents an hour to run. would be great to see full integration with other mods like useful idiots for giving orders to your companions and such.
apparently it is theoretically possible to create a more lightweight and specialized ai model for stalker to run locally on the average pcs though.

initial schizophrenic reaction wasn't unjustified imo, there's been multiple fake postings on moddb with claims of multithreading before, and the uploader is a newly created account without a known name. version 0.1 triggered microsoft defender too, which i would assume a lot of people have. the features of this modded engine just seemed too good to be true. but now that people know for sure v2 is the guy behind this, and that it actually works despite initial bugs, it's very well received.

Alright, I'm a believer now. The AI does have xray vision. I slowly crawled this entire path and this motherfucking Monolith was on my ass every step of the way. I could hear his servos and I know he had his gun pointed straight at my head, he just couldn't shoot through the wall.

That's exactly the point. Who gives a fuck? What are you even whining about? None of those things were ever apart of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., who even notices they're gone? Things can change in the world, in a game about shooting and killing. In fact, it's argued the right things are kept intact.

>You're so disillusioned you can't see the significance of either, seperately of one another.

You're just screaming like a r****d renditions of the ussr are dissapated.

Censorship is where you can't say ni**er and shoot the f****t in the head, or when 4chan issues you a warning for NSFW in SFW (what rules did I offend?) there for fairly straightforward reasons since that's all anyone will do for unjustified ones at that point, which in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. you can still do so it's not censored at all.

You're delusional. Other than technical things which they or the community will fix it's just a solid notch higher than anything else. Not only this, only time until those things are carried over into those community projects you call "GAMMA" and what not which don't actually exist since they don't follow principles outlined here while inhereting the worst traits of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., nothing to do with disabling anomalies and all mutants, all of the other negative things diehard fans just won't accept or move on from as not really positive gameplay inclusions and two decade old design decisions.

Full size SIG550
Buildo Guns and other stuff that was only mentioned in design docs (GSH-18, Pancor Jackhammer, IGLA, M134, etc.)
Stalker 2 guns

>>528282948
Me, I would like some fucking consistency in what guns can use ironsights together with a scope and which ones can't.
Currently some AKs can and some can't. VSS and VAL can but SVD can't.

Stash description were such a cool feature. Added a lot of flavor to the game.

>>528280395
Imagine if Skif reloaded the M1 EMR like he did the AKs cuz it seemed more natural to him.

>>528285959

>>528255735
probably what the other anon said with LA revisited. The other versions I know of try to make it "hardcore" but they're a mixed bag.
I've been playing the LA enhanced recently, some parts are cool, some are pretty damn annoying. In particular, the base accuracy/weapon sway is genuinely abysmal. and traversal is a pain with the stamina/move speed changes on some of LA's big maps. It's one of those mods where you don't gain stamina while walking without artifact boosts, made early maps a pain but with artifacts it's not so bad.
At least you can tweak the combat/economy difficulty easily in the menu, at least. I just kept things at veteran and edited some files to make the skill increases more impactful.

>>528291118
That's so lame.

>>528282948
Hello, friend. I am still working on the weapon pack for IWP. I was initially going to share only the .ogfs but decided to get a full drag and drop release together. Currently I am working on getting all the configs in order. G36 and SIG550 will be provided.
>build
Build are gay.
>S2
S2 gay.

>>528283136
You can edit this yourself or wait for the /sg/ I.W.F.I.W.P. (Improved Weapons For Improved Weapons Pack) pack.
If you want to DIY, respond and I will provide instruction. All it is is text editing in the config files.

>>528255107
>>528255230
What the fuck is wrong with your game? Why are the door, bandage, and medkit blue?

>>528299160
>respond and I will provide instruction
Ok, tell me.
BTW, do you know how to reduce the whole screen zoom-in with PIP scopes? I like to have my iron sights FOV less than when not zoomed in like in vanilla, but setting the FOV values in the settings to that causes these black eyebox issues to appear in scopes.

>>528299496
this is an army medkit. and army bandage. and army door.

>>528208660
I literally had enemies staring at and shooting me through walls in SOC, vanilla, last night. You didn't play the game. Hell, most games have this issue with AI. Far Cry was infamous for it because the patch that the steam release was on for ages had an issue where enemies saw and shot you through solid objects. >>528280395
Isn't that still in the game? I remember seeing a place like that, but in yanov, and there are usually zombifieds hanging around.

>>528300158
>BTW, do you know how to reduce the whole screen zoom-in with PIP scopes?
Yes, you need to change the following line in the weapon's config file
>3d_zoom_factor = 100
The default is 70 which causes the zoom. 100 completely removes zoom. If you just want to reduce it you could try another value between 70 and 100. I prefer no zoom.
>black eyebox issues
This will also happen if you use the solution above. I recommend setting your game FOV to whatever is comfortable normally, then use the config to adjust (or remove) your aim zoom. Then, the way to fix eye relief is to change the aiming coordinates, specifically the z value.
>aim_hud_offset_pos_16x9 = x,y,z
Z value controls how near/far you hold the weapon while aiming. Higher = further way and lower = closer. For your current issue (too much objective lense shadow), you would need to increase the value to hold the rifle further away. The opposite problem (no objective lense shadow), the solution is to pull the weapon closer.

Instructions for backup sights coming up.

>>528302298
Oh, I thought I was going crazy because the 3d_zoom_factor wasn't in the individual weapon config files. Turns out it was in the file for all the scopes.
Thanks, that should solve this.

>>528302298
Yeah, this works exactly how I wanted it to work. Now the screen zoom-ins are equalized between the scope and iron sights. Thanks.

>>528304874
>not playing with the gigasovlfull Geiger counter alt hud

>>528305734
I didn't even know that was an option. Usually alt-huds are trash.

>>528302174

>>528280625
add the mp7(either one) for anomaly to iwp, its not hard.

>>528300158
This example will be enabling backup sights on VAL with PSO, and removing all aiming zoom.

Open wpn_val.ltx
In the section [wpn_val] add
>3d_zoom_factor = 100
(removes ads zoom for all val variants)

In the section [wpn_val_9x39scope] add
>second_scope_zoom_factor = 100
>second_aim_enabled = true
>second_aim_transition_time = 6.5

In the section [wpn_val_9x39scope_hud] add
>second_aim_hud_offset_pos = 0.003525,0.025830,0.007400
>second_aim_hud_offset_rot = -0.002500,0.000000,0.000000
These values were copied from 1p78 variant that has backup sights. For a weapon like that has no variants with backup sights, try a similar weapon's values and edit from there. NOTE that for me, I need to edit second_aim_hud_offset_pos to see effects ingame for backup sights, NOT _16x9 value. This is only for second aim, standard aim coordinates use _16x9.

Save wpn_val.ltx

Next, open weapon_scopes.ltx
Find the section [9x39scope]
Change 3d_zoom_factor to 100
Add
>second_scope_zoom_factor = 100
(disables fov zoom on using backup sights)
Save.

Test ingame and adjust your aiming Z coordinates if you have eye relief issues, and enjoy.

>>528303930
You are a sharp one. That took me ages to figure out! You can also add second_scope_zoom_factor to the scope config to get zoom free backup ads.

>>528285425
>what an ukraine

>>528308416
>Open wpn_val.ltx
>In the section [wpn_val] add
>>3d_zoom_factor = 100

Does it matter where I add this line or can I just add it at the end of the section (before the next [angle bracket])?

>>528309465
Any where is fine, as far as I know.

>Everyone who believes in the Monolith is completely nuts. They keep banging on about it but nobody actually knows what's in the center of the Zone. An invisible crystal that fell from the skies...ha-ha-ha! I reckon one of the secret labs blew up - I mean some stalkers used to work in a few of them. But, obviously, you can't bomb the Zone. Not only will the radiation spread all over the world, half of Europe would be flattened by the Zone's reaction. "Someone" has gone totally mad lately - I heard they're killing normal stalkers for no reason at all. How do you like that? Damn fanatics.

>>528331126
They've tried, at least, according to Sidorovich in CS.
>I've only seen an emission that powerful once before - when the Zone appeared. Back then, the army put together a large force and moved into the center of the Zone to nuke the whole place to kingdom come. As soon as they got close to the center they got hit by an emission that made tanks sail through the air like kids' toys. Most of them died during the blast, and those who survived were just abandoned in the center of the Zone.

>>528331126
And create a double zone? I think not.

spoil me a quick rundown on STALKER 2. Was it aliens or russkies?

Neat little instance of npcs from the farm investigating another npcs death
Taken hours before losing the ironman save to analmeme's meme-pulse anomaly

this game makes me want to cry. i keep completing missions only for them to fail because the npc dies to a dog or something. I'm like 30 hours into soc (vanilla) and i cant stop playing but i am suffering.

also why cant i ever hit anything

>>528369590
>i keep completing missions only for them to fail because the npc dies to a dog or something
Are you sure you're not just running out of time? Most side quests in SoC have a 1 day time limit to turn them in.
I can't think of many NPCs in vanilla SoC who can be killed by a-life while you're doing their quests, they are usually standing in safe places, where they can't die easily.

Looking at moddb I get the impression you can upload the whole trilogy unmodified and get away with it.
How much of Stalker does GSC own anyways?

Genre defining, trope subverting, though provoking, survival non-faking, tongue clenching, attention grabbing, original and quirky, trans affirming survival shooter game (And it's free!!)

>>528370379
i kept failing the quest where duty tries to kill luvash because the guy kept dying really easily so i just decided to be freedom instead.
now I'm doing the quest where you have to fight a monolith squad for the barrier captain and after dying a bunch it finally said i completed it and just had to talk to the barrier captain again, then before i could walk to his location it said i failed. i assume he died but idk exactly what happened to trigger the failure

>>528372025

>>528371424
since the dawn of time, slav stalker mods have mostly been repacks with the original included, and there was a huge market for mods on pirated disks sold everywhere in russia. good luck trying to control that. i don't think gsc cared much, especially after they disbanded initially, and only recently did they update the modding eula or whatever to include links to the original. i remember something about them allowing the assets to be freely used too, don't know how legit that one is. gsc started out selling warcraft mods as full games, so griga probably didn't give a fuck.

>>528373626
Based griga desu

>>528372373
>i kept failing the quest where duty tries to kill luvash because the guy kept dying really easily
By "the guy", I assume, you mean Skull, the Duty commander, because I don't think the quest should fail if someone other than you kills Lukash. If so, then it's meant to be hard to keep him alive in the assault, as it's supposed to be a reckless suicide mission, but the quest shouldn't fail if he dies.
As it's supposed to work, if Skull dies, some other guy from his squad takes command and you can turn in the quest to him, when the fight is over, as long as there's at least one Dutier left alive. It can bug out though.
>it finally said i completed it and just had to talk to the barrier captain again, then before i could walk to his location it said i failed
Yeah, that can happen. For some reason, the Barrier quest completes before all the Monolithians are dead, so Cap can still die before you speak to him. It can also fail if you accidentally shoot any of the Freedomers and make them hostile or if you walk too far away from the Barrier during or after the fight.
If you're having a hard time with the Monolith, you should get a Vintar from one of the barracks at the Freedom base, or any other sniper rifle for that mission, makes the quest much easier.

>>528374362
>As it's supposed to work, if Skull dies, some other guy from his squad takes command and you can turn in the quest to him, when the fight is over, as long as there's at least one Dutier left alive.
that's weird. maybe he wasnt dying but i was failing it in some other way.
>If you're having a hard time with the Monolith, you should get a Vintar from one of the barracks at the Freedom base, or any other sniper rifle for that mission, makes the quest much easier.
i have a sniper rifle lying around somewhere. I'll try that. i think i generally get too close to the enemy but maybe I'll just sit back a little. doesnt help that i tend to trigger these big fight quests in the dead of night and they always see me before i see them.

>>528374362
>If so, then it's meant to be hard to keep him alive in the assault
nta, but skull's quest is fucked several times over to the point where it can fail as soon as you blow up the wall
out of the whole game it's the only one that consistently fails on my playthroughs

>>528372025

>>528372373
The guy that gives you the defend from monolith quest needs to stay alive. The easiest way to do this quest is to run ahead past the fence and freedomers and to take cover behind a large rock then wait for the monolith guys to come to you. That way you won't risk the freedom guys shooting you or you shooting them by mistake.

I'm feeling particularly subhuman today, what mod do I need for the maximal tarkovnigger tinkertranny firearm customization experience?

What part of him is blind? There is literally no blue there at all, you can't even claim it's washed out or rusted away, it's just non-existent. The shape of the line is still there, but it's completely the same texture and color(s) as the rest of the train, which is muddied grey/brown.

>>528425160
It's so funny that a whole team of developers, in 2025, with loads of "muh war" donations and micro$oft funding make night vision worse than the analmeme guy who does it for free.

>>528385001
>>528407594
You guys are retarded. There is no way in hell that that deep and highly saturated blue color would fade that hard compared to the yellow beneath it. It's literally just not there, there is no blue at all. You can go to the same train with different lighting and sunny weather and it still wouldn't appear anywhere close to blue.

why is the Groza rifle clipping through my face

>>528430756
Jokes on you because STALKER 2 doesn't have night vision by default. That's a mod.

Apparently it's hard to implement night vision because of the lighting/raytracing engine. Night vision ends up having all the downsides of real world night vision; nvg only amplifies existing light sources, if the environment is pitch black they just become expensive goggles.

Much easier to implement nvg when you use fake lighting like in the older games.

>>528431973
Literally just program a fucking flashlight that the enemies can't spot...

>>528432147
The mod I'm using does that, funnily enough. It has a fake light source but this method still has a lot of issues. Might get better once the SDK drops or GSC implements them themselves like they've been teasing.

>>528432147

>>528431973
>Apparently it's hard to implement night vision because of the lighting/raytracing engine
It's not. It doesn't matter what lighting method you use, be it light maps, or any kind of dynamic light including lumen and hw path tracing. You always have full knowledge on how much light falls on every single pixel, and then you just multiply it by a certain factor. It's the simplest shader possible.

Are there any good modern winter mods? I remember playing winter of death so many years ago. It was okay but the snow textures weren't great and there was no true snowy weather.

Haven't played stalker in years but I heard the engine is open source now and people were able to add a bunch of new mechanics. Have the weather mods made any progress past atmosfear or is everyone still too busy adding more tacticool guns to the game? Not that I'm complaining, I like tacticool slop but still.

>>528480246

Gamma would literally be perfect it it didn't have the slapshod EFT health system. No more medical bloat, no more dizziness requiring you to eat 3 cans of food every time you use medicine, no more bullshit pre/post healing.

You just cannot replace the appeal of story mods no matter how many mods you add upon your freeplay stalkan experience, and I say this as someone who enjoys both.

>maybe you did something wrong.
No idea what that could be, just installed the mods though JSGME

people here should make their own story mods with IWP or any other (freeplay) platform. CoC has SDK sources/ IWP has its allspawn released and CrommCruac also released the Absolute Nature 4 SDK files. Editiing should be better with the IX-Ray SDK, which is quite good in its current form. It's a shame that the anomaly/gaymma community has not really made any significant story/quest mods.I don't count Anthology, since its not original stuff

>>528547292
use MO2, it's better. I hope that you renamed the russian folders from the official addons if you use them, since JSGME won't uninstall them correctly.

>>528547561

[When you wear it, you no longer feel hungry]

>>528547591
>use MO2
Yeah, I've never used JSGME for anything before, but all the mods for IWP tells you that using JSGME is the recommended way of installing them

>JSGME won't uninstall them correctly.
There is no way that's real. How do you uninstall them manually?
It might be what's fucking me up then. I uninstalled the ones that were conflicting with CotZ, but if they aren't properly uninstalled it might be something fuckey going on with them

>>528548056
What does your load order look like?

>>528549716
It's just this now, Absolute Nature has Absolute Structures merged in to it, since they conflict and I have no idea how JSGME resolves conflicts so I just merged them manually.

>>528548056
>How do you uninstall them manually?
I don't know if JSGME does copy the original files to a specific location, which would allow you to restore the original stuff, but I wouldn't bother. Just reinstall it

>>528550178
>I don't know if JSGME does copy the original files to a specific location
It has a backup folder

Just reinstall IWP completely you mean?

>>528550057
That could be your problem. Structures page tells you to overwrite nature in load order.

Alright, looks like it works fine now. Is the weather pack just broken?

Is STALKER 2 good yet?

>>528551925
>Is the weather pack just broken?
Eh, maybe some CotZ incompatibility. CoC already has its own weather shit implemented and looks good enough.

>>528551925
NTA and I have not tried those weather mods, but I can vouch for CGIM weather from the IWP discord if you want improved weather.

>>528499267
If you're talking about the one at 70 seconds in fun fact is that it's a heavily edited version Caleb from Blood screaming when he's on fire. You can hear it without the effects and gunshots in OLR 2.5. Pretty neat

>Eh, maybe some CotZ
Does CotZ touch any weather stuff?

>>528552837
>CGIM weather from the IWP discord if you want improved weather.
Is it only on the discord? Is there a lot of addons for IWP that are discord only?

>>528552581
I came here to ask the same thing and it looks like not yet, wait for 1.5

>>528554131
I don't know about the current state of discord mods, I just know that CGIM is good and I found it there.

>enemies have perfect accuracy with buckshot which puts you into a state of constant bleeding
Combat in STALKER 2 is pretty much irredeemable because of this. That's why the game is constantly flooding you with bandages and healthkits. Hell, the bandages even restore health now, the developers designed the game around you being hit constantly, over and over again.

>>528557523
>the developers designed the game around you being hit constantly, over and over again.

>>528557523

>bandages restore hea-
Just like SOC.

Man, you really don't know how to pretend you didn't learn of stalker through one of the freeplay mods.

so is the noosphere real or just some hallucination shit within the zone

>>528557523
The amount of medkits really just makes combat boring. Once I got a good suit pretty much nothing outright oneshot me so I could just back up, use one of my 40 medkits, then go back in even on Veteran. The other posters are being totally disingenuous niggers; everyone knows bandages heal and you do get a lot of them in the old games but it feels like there was always a chance that you were going to get fucked up if you were caught in a shitty postiion. I'm sure someone has a smarmy comment about time_to_aim if I dare mention that everything but headshots feel weak in S2.

>>528566264
>he doesn't know the noosphere is real in real life too

yeah yeah but what about the yessphere

>>528560603
Not an argument
>>528561035
Only in SoC and only healed 10% of your health.
>>528564258
>Now at a reasonable middle ground
It's actually a worse version of modded stalkers. Either you're being pelted and put under bleed (in which case you're stuck watching your tarkov animations over and over again) or they headshot you instantly. There is no in between, enemies never miss. https://youtu.be/Dc4uUylErKA?t=19
Penetration is also fucked for NPCs so they can shoot you through walls lmao.
>Just like SOC.
Bandages were never primary healing items in SoC. They only restored a measly 10% health and this mechanic was removed in the other two games. Removing bandage healing didn't alter how the other games worked even though they used very similar damage profiles because the healing was so minuscule.

You didn't play the games. You started with STALKER 2 and are projecting.

>>528566264
In SoC lore it's very real but IRL it's just a philosophical concept.

i dont trust strelok

>bandages

you're right. It isnt an argument.
arguing with retards is pointless

>>528568097
>Bandages were never primary healing items in SoC
Yes, the primary healing item in SoC was Tourist Delight.
What's your issue exactly? Bandages restore less health than medkits in S2 as well and you can't use them one after another in a fight, like you could in SoC, because of the animations. Do you also have a problem with food restoring health in all four games?

>>528568097
Oh, well a youtuber said it was a problem so I guess it is.

If you put a camera in the NPC's vision, you'd see Skif each time. If Skif and the NPC who saw him swapped places, you'd see the enemy NPC. This guy (You) just sucks and is DSPing excuses.

>bandages were never pri-
Funny how you can use them exclusively and scarcely run into issues healing.

>>528570604
Not an argument.
>What's your issue exactly?
That the game was designed with you constantly being shot in mind. That's why bandages heal a significant portion of your health. You're getting lost too in the weeds, keep up.

You never played SOC. It's trivial to heal from nearly dead to full by hitting the bandage hotkey on repeat.

You are the blackest gorilla nigger I have ever talked to. We can all see the video, we can see the bullet impacts ricocheting off the wall. You are lying. Why are you lying?

If you want me to treat you like a baby, I will.
>It's trivial to heal from nearly dead to full by hitting the bandage hotkey on repeat.
You're coping. Literally NOBODY does this. NOBODY plays like this, nobody stocks up on billions of bandages for their healing. In STALKER 2, you are given billions of bandages with SUBSTANTIAL healing because the game is design around you bleeding constantly. It is a core part of the design philosophy of the game, they expect you to be constantly bleeding and requiring healing. You are a nigger.

>>528580029
nta, its time to stop, you're embarrasing yourself

>>528581606

>>528631561
>Is Skinflint immortal in vanilla SoC?
No, he isn't.
>I can't figure out how to reverse it.
You might have to edit all.spawn. Unless they made ALL traders invulnerable via configs, in that case it may be easier.
Try going to gamedata/config/creatures/m_stalker.ltx and check the [stalker_trader] section. If it has its own immunities section, where every value is set to zero, delete it; if it doesn't and just inherits them from the "stalker" section, then they might have assigned Skinflint a different section in all.spawn or made him immortal by some other means.
Might also check his logic in config/misc/gulag_mil_freedom1.ltx, in case they've done it through scripts or something.

>>528641074
There is an immortal section in m_stalker.ltx. I tried setting all the values to 1.0 but it didn't change anything. I tried changing him from a stalker_trader to just a regular trader in the all.spawn. I even tried removing him from the smart_terrain, nothing worked.

>>528641834
