Azran: Sep 3, 2012; And what should one do to be remembered?

Two questions:

1) Is it normal for two Pseudogiants to spawn outside the Monolith spawn point (as in, right on the street) and on the road outside the Bandit "base" (Sultan seems to be the only one here).
2) How can I make it so every playable character uses the same profile picture the Duty player uses regardless of your faction? I like some of them (like the Clear Sky one or the Bandit one) but goddamn some of them are ugly as gently caress (I also really like the mask design the Duty player uses).

Awesome, thanks!

One thing that's weird and that they haven't fixed is adding the merc_exo_outfit to inventory_upgrades.ltx and adding the suit itself for sale to the merc trader. It's got its own first person hands and it works totally fine with an icon and description and everything, it's just not properly in the game.

edit: did anyone ever make a mod to make misery 2.0 any good? I remember really liking the original misery, but then the second version came out and it was all bullet spongey and had a bunch of weird theories about content gating based on your gear, and it was dumb as hell.

NO FUCK YOU DAD: Oct 23, 2008

Installed CoC. Rolled Loner. Walked out of Rookie Village. Was immediately set upon by two Fractures, some Flesh and a loudass cat. Wasted all my ammo like a dumbshit. Ran away. Wound up by the Mill, where a huge firefight was going on between Bandits and the Military. Pistol-popped a bandit who'd wandered too far from the crowd. Stole his shotgun. Crept carefully through the ruins looting corpses. Bumped into two bandits. Shotgunned them in the face and ran away. Met a Freedom dude who'd just got done wasting Boar. Tried to field dress them. Immediately attacked by Bloodsuckers. Managed to shotgun one in the face and run away. Hid behind a tree. Dude popped out from behind tree. Shotgunned him in the face. Looted some loving landmines off his corpse. Dude must have been Military, because a helicopter started shooting at me with a minigun. Ran away. Got back to the Rookie Village. Sold landmines to Sidorovich for ammo. In-game time? 11:00.

Such is life in the Zone.

Also I guess Sidorivich might not be present for some reason I can't figure out. He's the only trader to straight up vanish, so if you care about that and don't mind the rookie village being unconquerable delete esc_2_12_stalker_trader.ltx.

How do I go about adding a new item into the game? The Zone lacks cat steak.

Fairly simple. To add a cat steak, you'd need to open the mutant parts config. This is items.ltx

The easiest way to do this is to make it an item with inherited values from another mutant part. Let's use the boar steak as an example.

This has the values of:

code:

[mutant_part_boar_chop]:mutant_part_general_meat
$spawn                                   = "devices\monster_items\mutant_boar_chop"
visual                                   = dynamics\zpf\raw_boar.ogf
inv_weight                               = 0.389
inv_name                                 = mutant_boar_chop
inv_name_short                           = mutant_boar_chop
description                              = mutant_boar_chop_description
inv_grid_x                               = 11	                                       ;17
inv_grid_y                               = 2	                                       ;26
cost                                     = 50

eat_satiety                              = 0.497
eat_radiation                            = 0.367
eat_sleepiness                           = 0.0238
eat_health                               = -0.092

If we want to make a cat steak, you would create a new section called:

code:

[mutant_part_cat_steak]:mutant_part_boar_chop

Right now this is identical to the boar chop. So under this new item section, choose new values such as inv_name, etc.

Anything you don't specify as different will be identical to the boar chop.

Once you're happy with this, you can then add it to the mutant drops. This is plugins\itms_manager.ltx

You should see this:

code:

[cat]
mutant_part_cat_tail, 1, 0.66

To this, add

code:

mutant_part_cat_steak, 1, 0.70

This will allow cats to drop 1 steak per cat, with a 70% chance.

To give the steak a proper description, you can use st_items_mutant_parts.xml in configs/text/eng

Editing icons is a bit more advanced. I'm not sure if you want to go that far, though.

This is actually how it works. Each military unit has a commander. The commander is the only one that can call in a helicopter, and only if they manage to actually physically get somewhere to radio in.

If you identify the commanders in each squad and take them out first, they won't call in helicopters, and helicopters that are there won't really focus on you.

if you go up north and kill monolith members for a while, they should eventually drop a gauss rifle. one of those can destroy a helicopter in like 8-10 shots. i've tried using the rocket launcher but the RPG moves wayyy too slow to reliably hit them

I wound up buying the PSZ-9d off of the duty boss. Fully upgraded, it pretty much owns. Amazing bullet and impact protection, and with a 70kg carry weight and huge stamina bonuses you can pretty much run forever on a combat load, and even when pack-ratting you can sip energy drinks and never have to stop. poo poo anomaly protection and no artifact slots, but the upgrades that come with the suit are pretty much what I use artifacts for, anyway (carry weight and stamina), and you shouldn't be stepping in anomalies, anyway.

Maybe this is just me, but I find that I can down a chopper with about two magazines from one of the 5.56 rifles.

No, seriously, 2 mags of burst mode works wonders. Also, abuse windows in buildings and such. My last Mogadishu event was in the swamps. I attacked a Military squad in that mid-North outpost right as a blowout was coming in. I waited til they all got into shelter, chucked a grenade in there to drive them out, and then denied them safe zone. Half died, half zombied (and then died after the blowout ended). I looted their corpses and shot down the heli that my grenade goof called in.

Yeah I'm fairly sure this is what happened. I only saw the one guy but it was thick fog and there could have been a whole squad out there for all I could see. Plus there'd been a chopper hovering around that area earlier when I'd been plinking Flesh, so it didn't just spawn on top of me.

Sniper rifles work great against choppers as well. I just wish they dropped some loot when they crashed.

I started a new game after applying the latest patch* and Ddraig update, and found myself in Agropom near the military base. I always feel compelled to follow the sounds of gunfire so I skirted the concrete wall to see what the soldiers and their air support were firing at. After a few attempts I was able to sneak up on the far entrance and take out their tank with a grenade, then go out and loot the bandits they had shot without attracting any more attention from the base. An assassination target was nearby so I followed him for a while till he got in a fight with both a bandit and a bloodsucker, and waited for nature to take its course.

Then I got chased around comically by the other two bloodsuckers nearby.

* Has anyone else's level load times increased like fivefold since the update, or is it just this graphics enhancement I added this time? Not sure what I think of it, the blur effect is a little distracting and obscures UI elements like inventory and dialog, and other than that it just seems to make poo poo too bright and washed out. If I had the patience I know there's a lot of tweaking I could do on it and I might really like it.

I'm really not seeing the empty, deserted Zone some people are getting with CoC. It's pretty much all insane all the time.

Tonight's adventure involved helping a couple of Freedom guys assault some Bandits at the Train Hangar. We'd just made it past the front gate when a squad of Military showed up from the direction of Agroprom and turned it into a three-way brawl. In the confusion, I managed to sneak into the building and creep up on them with my Browning, which apparently nobody could hear over the crack of AK fire.

Bandits and Military dead, I was wandering around the building looting corpses when I hear roars and gunfire outside. Turns out a Bloodsucker had wandered in and killed my Freedom buds, then been gunned down by another squad of Military approaching from the south. By then it was getting dark and a storm was rolling in, so I quickly looted the Freedom dudes and ran off, bullets at my back, to sell their poo poo in the Bar.

On the way I took a detour to the Truck Cemetery and, in the two minutes I was there, saw a Duty squad mowing down about a dozen Flesh while some other guys in the distance opened up on them with what sounded like an PKM.

I think my guy's going to spend all his cash on Vodka.
