Yantar, Dr Sugars sells svarog, with his strangely youthful voice. Just come back from there myself. I decided to visit Agroprom and waste the army barracks, when i had killed everyone, I stepped out on my first "ferry all the guns and sell them" sortie, and the heli killed me. aha, heli, so I ninja'd around, avoiding the Hind, keeping things between it and I, when I got to the gate, I was wasted by the BTU or whatever Its called, the armoured personel carrier. basically, the army barracks is locked down. Eventually I had scraped together enough for a Svarog. then I went to army warehouse and I have too many weapons to carry.

Dunno what you pick but I am a loner in a hostile environment, always. The most friendly I get is some poor bastards I walk into in range I sprint over and it's like two dudes left, one ARing and the other scrublording about with his sidearm. Plinky motherfuckers better acknowledge my Strelok rear end.

I feel like CoC would be much more enjoyable if the omniscient death helicopters didn't turn hostile to you the second a military member sees you, weren't omniscient, or just didn't exist at all. It's really frustrating in the Cordon where there are occasionally snipers positioned on the bridge who can spot you from really far away, at which point the helicopter beelines directly for your rear end to destroy all fun.

Don't know if you can do it on a game in progress, there's a file you're supposed to be able to edit but my change there never took effect. Robot Randy posted:Get good at aiming underbarrel grenades and they stop being a hassle I keep seeing missiles for sale and sometimes in boxes but sadly no launchers yet. The chopper was really cutting me up in that narrow-street town past the forest, full of heavily armed mercs. I had to turn back it was so bad. Was pretty satisfying taking those loving things out in one segment in Lost Alpha.

Choppers used to follow you for the entire level but Alundaio added a few conditions in which they would forget about you. First one is sleeping somewhere safe, second is just hiding for a while, third is an emission will cause it to fly off, and there's probably a few more I can't remember. Would people be interested in a sort of modders guide to COC? Mainly talking about the new tools modders can use compared to COP

Definitely ^^ I made a little custom mod for CoP years sho that removed the ability of the Svarog (i think - the best detector anyway) to show anomalies as it made them too trivial. It still revealed the rarest artefacts so you still wanted it. Probably going to remake it for CoC since iirc it was a trivial 30 second .xml edit. I'll share it here if anybody else is interested.

I got the 80% durability vendor fix working, which owns. I just wish more artifacts popped up in the wild and not just in the shaded anomalous areas. Also I went to the Oasis and nothing was there  I did mange to find a compass chilling on a shelf in a mine tunnel on the north side of the Red Forest though! Also needs way more enemy spawns. Once I clear an area I don't really have to worry about anything except the odd mutant or blundering into an anomaly.

Aw dammit, stalkers wondering into anomalies and getting torn to pieces of electrocuted is half the fun of the Zone!

I'm curious about how easy texture editing is, if I wanted to introduce some variety in the outfits. Please tell me it's easier than modding games from other Russian devs, and I won't need some filetype converter for an obsolete version of Photoshop and a hex editor.

Hex editor may be necessary depending on how complex you want to go. The SDK allows you to assign textures to objects without hex editing, though, if you wish. As for actually editing textures, all you need is the Nvidia DDS tools. I'm using CS6 and it works fine.

The only area that kind of sucks from what I've seen is Darkscape, everything else is just bad luck with A-Life. People complaining about weapon damage should use the OWR addon, which you can grab from CoC's moddb page.

AI seem to just wander into anomalies willy nilly with no regard to their own safety. Then others go to loot them or aid them, and so on and so on. Which is funny and all but I can see how it might mess with things.

So far I haven't seen the surrender mechanic for any guys -I've- shot, but I did manage to catch a bandit about to execute a lone Dutier who was on his knees. I capped the bandit and tossed the Dutier a medkit; he decided to come along with me and we shall have all sorts of adventures until he dies horribly

MariusLecter posted:AI seem to just wander into anomalies willy nilly with no regard to their own safety. Then others go to loot them or aid them, and so on and so on. There is a mod called "Stalkers are not blind mod (Anomaly evasion)", also incorporated into stuff like Zone Reclamation Project... and it has a thing where stalkers have a certain chance of noticing anomalies , and higher ranks of stalkers (veterans, masters etc) are less likely to wonder into them. Rather than making stalkers always avoid anomalies or be immune to them, would make more sense to use that logic. That way someone walking into an anomaly would be a rare occurrence, rather than you getting a line of victims blundering in. http://z4.invisionfree.com/STALKERRE/index.php?s=85d6d9fbb6a4e9ca82150b754e967609&act=Attach&type=post&id=2561833 The default values mean it is extremely unlikely anyone will ever wonder into one, though, like 90% chance a novice will notice an anomaly. I actually tweaked it in the past so that inexperienced stalkers only had a 50% chance of noticing anomalies, but that's somewhere on my old computer. Might see if I can dig it out.

Its very easy and fun, editing, anyway, (or too lazy to pirate it) although, Photoshop allows you to set up more of a process for batch editing, gimp can do the same with scripts, iirc, but meh. I am kicking myself for not noticing nimble in the rookie village. Now I have my favorite "Storm". I'd love to edit the stalker meshes a little, as all the active stalkers are semi identical, we need fat neckbeards in the zone. Also grabbed absolute nature and structures from mod db, thanks for them, looking great and running very smooth. staberind fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Oct 4, 2015 |

Alundaio says in that quote that it's messing up AI detection, so NPCs will behave like they haven't seen you across a short distance. The option messes up combat in general as currently implemented, so it's being removed.

Well you could have a proto faction take one over and you can clear them out or do some mission to bolster them. Or a dude who co-exists peacefully with poltergeists and they gang up on you because you will not gently caress Off. A Monolith shrine. A secret merc base. A place that resembles that heavy hitter room in John Wick - you need to be This Badass to get in. A creature hunter faction with specialized weapons. Bill the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s anomaly/artifact collection. A military S.T.A.L.K.E.R. branch. Some other bunch of heavy hitters that think maybe Strelok and his gang are hogging the limelight. Rich dickheads with equipment and zero smarts. A fabled weaponsmith/armourer who gussies up your weapons or armour with artifacts (Could also custom electronics with artifacts, Iunno). A guy who shows movies from around the world made about the Zone. A religious zealot who hires people to drag corpses back to his so he can bury them properly. A non-zombied version of Monolith. Some crazy bastard who eats artifacts. Some crazy bastard who can adjust the Zone (spawn anomalies). A dude married to a burer. A pseudogiant who wants to escape the Zone and become the world's greatest Sumo wrestler. A bloodsucker eye-balling a career in porn. Bandits who are not fundamentally idiots. Some mad gently caress who thinks projectile gunpowder weapons are for pussies. Secretly Russian-funded ex-Spetnaz who line the pockets of oligarchs with their line in rare artifacts. Documentarians turned feral. The guy who makes the sausages. An artifact cook/breeder. An outpost of DeBeers (Or however you spell it) who use gravity anomalies to make cheap but desired Zone gems. A company trying to cachet up their energy drink/booze. Kanye West insists on making a music video beside the Wish Granter. Not gonna lie, I'd love if any or all of these were implementable.
