Hey Ddraig, the FOV Fixer link in the CoP section is dead.

I uploaded it for my mod awhile ago: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qg6evnalr5m4wrs/fov_switcher_v17.7z

Crono S. Magnum posted:

I'm looking at playing CoP again and I've never really made it past the first map. Is Complete worth installing? I'm looking to use Atmosfear 3 but don't really know anything else to bother with. Should I just go clean-ish?

Complete is over hyped nonsense. Atmosfear 3 and the sound overhaul is all you should use for a first-ish play through.

I'd love to have this mod, but I cannot figure out how to set up the fixed scope/binocular textures. It just ends up being off to the right. Though that might be the fact that I took three different pills and then got exposed to a chemical anomaly.

Can anybody help me figure it out?

I'm using 1600 x 900 and currently futzing with the FOV changer to hopefully find the magic number.

Try this 16x9 patch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/4w4beafv0f4554q/DX10%20-%2016x9.zip

Okay, It seems to be working now. Thanks, You might want to do something about the 'patch' that I downloaded doing gently caress all though.

Also, for some reason Russian has apparently overtaken the english language. I'd be fine with this, but the designers apparently never thought to add subtitles. I deleted the Bin and checked the integrity so I could redownload it, but no go.

Russian language is part of the mod. Many people are just sick of the corny English voice acting. You can have howdy ho back by deleting the characters_voice folder in gamedata/sounds. Because you deleted the bin folder you now need to run the FOV changer and set the FOV to 85 again.

I'm getting a problem installing the Original Weapons Renewal mod for CoP in that no matter how many times I un/reinstall CoP and copy over the gamedata folder, the mod never seems to take effect and I get stuck running vanilla. Anyone had similar problems and know how to fix? This is especially strange because I already ran OWR before just fine, but decided to uninstall and reinstall it because of missing scope textures (specifically for the scoped Mosin-Nagant).

Holy poo poo, this loving game.

I tried Shadow of Chernobyl and Prypyat way back when, and quickly stopped cause I found the combat impossible, and the rest boring.

So if I want to try again, and I dont' give a poo poo about "realism" or re-playability, what loving mods am I supposed to be using these days to make the game shiny and fun?

I just want the atmosphere that the reviews always promised, but that I never saw cause the game itself was frustrating as gently caress.

Autumn Aurora 2, uses a custom atmosfear and absolute nature mod for SoC. It looks like a whole new game in some areas. Also new weapons and better combat.

This looks incredible. What kind of changes does it make to the gameplay? The moddb page is not very specific.

quote:

Gameplay:

Some new weapons (with unique NPC's and as rewards for quests) and items (not many, maybe 10).
Artifacts detectable only by means of detectors (Echo, Bear and Veles. Each detector has distinct characteristics). Read more about it here: Moddb.com
Two modes of repair (traders as well as outfit and weapon repair kits).
Sleeping possible in designated areas (like in CoP).
New UI/HUD (CoP-based).
Hand texture adjusts to the suit you're wearing (like in CoP).
HUD and breating sounds are mask-dependent.
Random stashes.
New screen effects when irradiated, on low health and out of breath (low stamina).
Applying medkits, eating or using repair kits takes time.
New recoil effects.
New nightvision devices.
New postprocess effects for anomalies, radiation etc.
Some artifact models are CoP-based, and some are new.
Stalkers will carry Russian weapons for the most part. U.S. weapons like LR300 or M16 have been assigned to one faction only and they will be almost a rarity. If you happen to own LR300 or M16, you will have a serious advantage over your adversaries. This applies to exoskeletons or SEVA suits as well - they are finally very exotic and expensive items, but will definetely be worth their price.
The game itself will be more difficult, but well-balanced to avoid being unfair.
Some bugfixes like empty stashes and non-disappearing mission markers.

CoP weapon modding question: I'm trying to add a couple of weapons from Road to Pripyat to Shoker and make it so Owl and Hawaiian sell them. The only files I need to copy over are the weapon file in gamedata\configs\weapons, the models, and the textures, and modify the trader files so that they sell the weapons, right? Is there any way to make traders always sell certain items, so I can check to make sure I've implemented everything properly?

Under [supplies_generic] set wpn_whatever = 1, 1

That will make it so the trader always has that weapon in stock.

NEED TOILET PAPER posted:

OK, so here's what I have now: the only change in Hawaiian's trader file is that wpn_whatever = 1, 1 under [supplies_generic]. That's the only mention of this weapon. The weapon file itself, the textures, and the models are all there already. The only other files I can think of that would be missing are sound and what the weapon looks like on inventory and trade screens. Anyways, when Hawaiian spawns (either from my moving close to Yanov or me loading up a save in Yanov) the game makes a beep and crashes. Any pointers?

e: worth mentioning that I also tried giving values to wpn_whatever in [trade_generic_buy] as well, to the same effect.

There's something missing. You can find out what it is by checking the bottom of your last log file.

To be fair this is pretty much how Stalker games have always worked. If I'm remembering right it took about five minutes in CoP to get an end game weapon just by running to a stash, and SoC lets you buy pretty high end weapons in Cordon if you care enough

You can run over to the sawmill and get an SVD in the first 2 minutes, then head over to the antenna complex and get 2 boxes of ammo for it. Proceed with being king poo poo of the zone.

In the weapons.ltx you need to add #include "w_m1891.ltx" to the list.

In case you're wondering, I'm trying to add two weapons to Shoker from Way To Pripyat: the PPSh 41 and the Mosin-Nagant (which pops up in the file names as m1891), and so far only the PPSh has actually shown up on Hawaiian's inventory so that's the one I'm working on now.

There's a much better MN91 from OWR 2.0 than the piece of poo poo in WTP. It would be easier to install and you get the added bonus of the SVT40, MN91 and SVD animations all in one package.

You sure it's OWR 2.0? I'm looking through the gamedata's weapon configs for that mod (and the patches/addons) and can't find a single mention of either the MN91 or SVT40. Are the files on ModDB up to date, or is there somewhere else I should be checking that does have the relevant files?

e: fwiw I managed to get the Nagant from Arsenal Overhaul working just fine. Now I only need to get the textures working (which is a bit harder than I thought it would be) dig up where the inventory/trade icon for that gun is, add the scope, and I should be all set.

In OWR the new weapons extend from the existing ones. The MN91 and SVT40 weapon parameters are in the w_svd.ltx. I keep them separate in my mod for easier access. If you haven't already, you'll have to use the SVD from my mod since whatever model you have is now incompatible with the hand animations.

If you're playing SoC, don't bother. The only possible stealth kill you can accomplish is killing someone in one shot with a silent weapon without being seen by the target or anyone else.

DreamShipWrecked posted:

After blazing through 2 in a week I had an itch for something similarly difficult and depressing. Having never actually beaten SoC, I went through that in about seven hours on veteran difficulty and found it disappointingly easy. Ended up dropping stacks of ammo just to save room.

Then I installed the Misery mod and tried that. I had a cursory experience with Pripyat previously, but didn't get very far. But Misery... that's good poo poo. I barely know what is going on and it's hard as nails, but it hurts SO GOOD.

Six bullets, a broken rifle, and overactive adrenal glands, that's what survival horror is all about. Puts all the other SH games of late to shame.

Mosin textures go in "gamedata\textures\r_pop". If the textures are missing in game you can find out where they go back checking the last log file and searching it for the word "can't".
