S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP Misery 2.1 Pripyat Underpass 1


S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP Misery 2.1 Pripyat Underpass 2

With 5 stalkers, the biggest threat is friendly fire.

 

[tred]

Completed SoC, completed CoP, watched misery lp's, got hooked, installed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but my pc is too weak
it's been a long time since a game made me really think about upgrading my hardware...oh well

 

[praetor]

(very) short interview with the devs. in short, content cut will be minimal, while some systems (like skills) will be patched in after further testing

My only fear now is that my shitty rig won't be able to run it properly...

Glad I doubled my RAM, it will got work to do.

Also - I've found some nice mod database for STALKER series. They got some stuffs like L.E.G.E.N.D.A.R.Y. or Secret Trials 1 and other stuff that you can't get or from some slow/suspicious source. Whole base is like 25GB? Doubt that I would download all of them...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP Misery 2.1 Evacuation
Last mission for COP, was carrying an RPG for the chimera but it didn't spawn.
So I finished Misery 2.1, fun esp the guns.
Build is stable, recommend these tweaks/fixes:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-misery/forum/thread/loosing-health
http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-misery/forum/thread/fix-tweak-npc-detection-ranges

So what's next? One of the stalker series mods that is stable preferably.

For CoP there is two mods series - Misery and Sigerous Mod (SGM) with various build.
Right now I play in SGM Geonezis which is SGM 2.0* + some community tweaks. With SGM 2.0 you got only 1 new area (Dark Valley) that's avaliable in free play, SGM 2.2 got 2-3 iirc.
Mind you that SGM is opposite compared to Misery.

I'm already in Pripyat, want to asault laboratory here but One Shot mission is bugged, there is no meeting with Jakal and ecologists near my base... at elast it's side mission.

*IIRC the newest version is 2.2

Or you could go to ShoC and try StalkerSoup (that contain Narodnaya Solyanka) with stable build on moddb and enjoy new 52+ areas.

Installed Misery, looks like ass in DX11 with everything maxed out?

 

[tred]

for people with low-end computers I suggest "Good Old Stalker: Evolution" for SoC. It's a great mod, performance-focused, pretty balanced (and hard), with a neat configurator that lets you customize your game.

 

[DraQ]

Is there any sort of "Misery Lite", keeping the original's visuals or (preferably) changing the visual style to more SoC-like, less grimderp and Miserable(TM)?

 

[skacky]

You could possibly apply the absolute packs afterwards but that'll probably look like ass since the rest will still be rusty.

My guess is some prequel called I Work Alone.

Less darkly? Welp, I know dozen that make game to darker/grey but none that make game more colourful. Maybe something on 'murican Stalker mod scene, they like colourfull stuff.

 

[DraQ]

I don't mind rusty, I mind retarded deathworld look. And I don't want to make fucking oblibians out of the game either.

SoC was refreshing because it was based on how the zone, site of nuclear disaster, looks IRL instead of grimderp PA fiction.
CoP fucked it up a bit by making it somewhat sandier and falloutier, but not much.
Making it look like a fucking deathworld (or at best those 2-3 days of dreary weather occurring every second autumn) misses the point.

I agree. Also, the people from Misery said that they are working to release a Lite version soon.

I played Sekrit Trails. It's like a backwards version of SoC in wich you begin the game in Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. I don't recommend it tough, it got all the bad things in old school games such as fedex linear quests, game breaking quests, etc, plus werewolves.

That's quite a strange complaint. Especially now that I remember one NPC in the games saying that the zone is basically caught in an eternal autumn together with its weather.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Finished SGM Geonezis, choose to stay in the Zone. And got quick quest - eliminating some zombies from the Zone for safety sake. Only 389 remain...
Last 10h of this mod was horrible, since Major appear in Pripyat.

There is such thing like breaking cutscene by NPC/mutants attack, helluva annoying in some missions

Now I propably go for StalkerSoup for SoC.
Or go play something else.

I don't recall anything like that.
Wasn't that added by the mod itself?

 

[Surf Solar]

No, I remember it being uttered by some random stalker back then when I played the game the very first time without mods. I'd love to look it up though.

Does Old Good Stalker Evolution have stealth?

 

[Baron Dupek]

Does Old Good Stalker Evolution have stealth?

By "stealth" you mean - no cheating enemies with wallhacks and autoaim and ultrafast reaction? Where stabbing one guy ddoesn't alarm everyone?
Then LURK 1.1 and Zone of Alienation,

 

[DraQ]

IIRC stealth works just fine in vanilla or ZRP.

Wallhack is a result of a vanilla bug manifesting on reload, but ZRP seems to have fixed it.

 

[opium fiend]

I don't even know what is wallhack.

 

[Ninjerk]

I don't even know what is wallhack.

Refers to modifications to an FPS that allows you to see through opaque walls so as to have a competitive advantage over an opponent. First time I heard of it was during CS 1.4 or so, but they may have been implemented earlier.
