If it's like call of misery, you need certain better knives to be allowed to actually harvest half the mutants, although I believe that mod implements it by not letting you even interact with a mutant that you're not allowed to harvest so it could be something else.

v1ld posted:configs/creatures/actor.ltx has these entries (power is stamina): Update on this. I set the values back to (almost) vanilla values and am now having a much better time in Last Day. Being able to sprint for more than 3 seconds makes things a lot less tedious. I left the overweight value at the increased Last Day amount because I enjoy having to manage my inventory and deciding what is worth hauling back to a trader. Also a video, I got my revenge on Skinflint for punching me in the side of the head! e: my video is dark as gently caress seeing it on the monitor at work.

Still playing Last Day. Had a guide lead me to the truck cemetery, now I think I'm stuck there since I don't know any of the paths out. Is there anything I can do?

There is a jump_to_level console command that might work, I dunno if it's in CoC/CoM though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rkWUEiDu80 You could try posting on the moddb Last Day page too, the mod creator is pretty good about responding to questions there.

I keep on looking for a story, or a quest line. I tried Doctor X's quests, but they were all either lame or something that was far above my level ("hey, I know you just spawned in with a pistol, but here's a quest to go kill a military guy who's hunkered deep in the outpost near the cordon"). I got into preaching the glory of the Monolith by heading to main faction bases and giving sermons with the muzzle of a gun

how do you actually play last day? i just downloaded it and gave it a try. first impressions: start 1: spawned in a closed room on one side of the giant grapevine anomaly in pripyat, no way to get out except to jump. restarted. start 2: figured out you can choose where you spawn, so i started on the skadovsk. walked around the ship a bit, heard sounds of fighting outside. went up to the upper deck to see, a reloading stalker popped out of the door into the ship, followed by two angry boars who killed me and then him. start 3: skadovsk again. walked around, within minutes the ship was overrun by a pack of cats who killed gonta and a bunch of stalkers. i stood up on a railing so they couldn't reach me. killed them, cleared the lower ship of rats and dogs, went outside, got eaten by a bloodsucker. i am unsure what i'm supposed to be doing in this mod.

Yeah I usually start as Loner or Clear Sky in last day, that puts you in the swamp or cordon. Cordon is a little bit harder because of the military base, but if you want to go rambo on them, it can be easier to start collecting guns that way. The bandit bases in Cordon can be bigger too.

I am generally of the opinion that Clear Sky is the best way to start CoM or Last Day. The reason being is that you're pretty friendly to a lot of factions, including the Mercs, have a great starting location which allows you a lot of easier conflicts to get your head around things and help you build cash, and a good set of merchants who also give quests. Oh and Doc also wanders around and gives you a few quests to do later on, which is a bonus. You'll also be able to have a fantastic reputation with your own faction, compared to Loners who will only ever view you as Neutral. Loner's also get ripped off by Sidorovich in comparison to the Clear Sky merchants, who pay a better price for what you have. The Cordon also has more areas where Clear Sky groups will stay in or attempt to take and hold, which also gives you an opportunity for more quests, even if they are just the "fetch this" kind.

Is it crashing on startup or just not installing or what? I've been playing CoM Last Day as Clear Sky recently, spent a few hours in the swamp and now I've moved to Cordon. Got a "kill the boars" quest from Fanatic in which we went to the boars and he was immediately one-shotted. rip Fanatic we hardly knew ye. Sidorovich's door is also closed to me, any way to open it? Is it a reputation thing?

I am having the same issue. Install the game, then installed the mod. It runs fine, I got it all configured how I liked it. Only issue, I can't save! It seems like it works, but there is nothing on the Load/Save screen and I cant find the saves anywhere on my drive. I used to be semi-competent at installing mods and fussing with files, but it has been years and I have no idea what I am doing. It is worth a wipe and reinstall?

Look in the fsgame.ltx in your install directory for app_data_root, saves are inside of it. Default is a stalker-shoc folder under Documents. Try deleting that folder, the game will create a new one. Or, edit fsgame.ltx and change the $app_data_root$ entry to be just "approot" without the quotes and the game will save under an approot folder inside your install directory. I find this the best method, it makes it easy to have several modded versions of the game.

I've started a new game on Last Day after a long STALKER hiatus. Are there any starter guides? There's a crapload of new items, so I'm guessing new mechanics, I started with just a pistol so I can't damage any mutants larger than rats, and I have only a single medkit and there's an awful lot that can kill you instantly. I started off as Clear Sky in the Swamps but quickly realised that the radioactive water can kill you quickly and there's not lot you can do about it. I've made it to Cordon but I feel like there's no way I can complete quests or progress: I only started with 6,000 Ru and Sid sells medkits for 4,000 each! Edit: Walked out the rookie camp, a boar charged me once and I died. Reloaded, avoiding the boars and was attacked by dog. Managed to kill all 3 but then quickly died. This is intense! nexus6 fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Jan 24, 2018 |

The swamps are a pretty great place to start, the water will kill you quickly but you can avoid it entirely. It's tedious to walk around, but tedium is an integral part of Misery! Go around the Clear Sky base and get some quests, hope for a "lead the scientist to the place" one since he'll probably have an SMG and can help with mutant hunts (save his quest for last). If you can find a bandit camp in the swamps (top left usually), kill 'em and hope there's a shotgun and some ammo. Last Day's quest rewards net you some decent cash, 4 or 5 should get you 30-40k, plus a good chunk from loot. Get used to quickloading...a lot.

I think i'm finally getting weary of my favorite FPS series ever. I tried coming back a few months ago to Call of Chernobyl, but I think I lost the patience for the jank, engine crashes, ridiculously lucky AI, and just all the other weirdness that comes with the series. Hoping Call of Misery will rekindle the flame. Maybe im just getting old and crusty, but the patience with jank isnt what it used to be. I'm totally jealous of people experiencing the series for the first time. I've been chasing that atmospheric-horror high since 2012.

Ok, got the game up and running (and saving) and I have ZRP almost set how I want it. But, I would still like the guns to have a bit more power. Like I want armor and ammo to still matter, but I want catching a bandit with a 9mm round in the torso to be a bit more dramatic. Whats a good way to make a tweak like this? I was thousands of posts behind in this thread, can anyone point me to the rough time when ZRP came out or was discussed the most?

I just installed Shadow of Chernobyl. What should I do now? I would use the Complete mod, but I've heard lot of bad things about it plus that it's very out of date. I don't want ultra tedious hardcore survival mods, I want something that polishes mechanics, fixes bugs, perhaps adds upgraded weapon models and animations (I've seen videos showcasing really nice animations, but I heard they were hard to set up or something?) and doesn't need ton of tinkering with. Fake edit: The second post that details the games and mods available for them was last edited in 2013 so might be outdated as well?

Mechanics charge an arm and a leg for repairs but I've got so much loot (that I can't sell) that I'm probably better off doing it myself. Repairing isn't profitable. But basically there's a bunch of repair stuff in the shops that work at certain thresholds. The items used to repair below like 40% durability are the most expensive. Barrel swaps I think are the most cost effective. You should buy a hammer or crowbar and the Swiss army knife. You can click drag it onto guns and armor to scrap them for parts, used to repair stuff. You are basically forced to concentrate most of your funds to repairing and maintaining 1 gun. There are a bunch of mods bundled with the game that can change the economy and repair stuff prices. You can save a lot of money, ammo, durability by knife killing boars at the end of their kiting range. It might be worth creating a new save file and using the Dev console and spawning items/money to play with it.

Edit the actor values a bit. Give specific enemies a little less hp and you get more satisfying play while saving a lot of boring ammo tweaking. Or lower piercing_resistence (bullet resistance) either in actors or their armour.

Sininu posted:Thanks, installed this and ran around the starting area a bit. Looks good so far. I'll try to play this properly later tomorrow though. Be careful with Autumn Aurora, specifically don't accept too many tasks at once. It will reliably crash and corrupt your save if you have too many active tasks, keep it at 5 or less. It's a really great mod and great way to play SOC but is pretty buggy and save corruption happens a lot. Make a lot of hard saves at key points. Fwiw I'd recommend playing through SOC with just ZRP first, Autumn Aurora does change/add some gameplay stuff that makes the experience different. Repairing, sleeping, detectors aren't in SOC, and medkits work differently. AA is also just generally more difficult.
