STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Mod Thread

[lightbane]

STALKER seems to attract lots of autists ala Dwarf Fortress for some reason.

there's nothing else like it. come for the dense atmosphere and great murderhobo simulator gameplay, stay for the modding scene that is predominately russ))) that pumps out a million custom story total conversions per year

I thought there are usually more gameplay mods with weapon models that no-one cares about, as well as mods with game-breaking "balance-fixing" changes, than proper total conversions and story mods.

oh no there's plenty of custom story mods. one of the best ones is probably goldsphere

thats correct. The russian scene does however have a non-trivial amount of actually new content/new story mods. Gwailos just dont get to play them usually because lol whats the point of a storyfag mod if you cant even enjoy it due to machine translation gobblygook?

i was trying to help someone get xrcore 2571 (a complete version of the game that was compiled in early 2006; it has very noticeable differences) to work, and when they ran the game in the r2 renderer, they saw this:

marked one abusing too much cough syrup and krokodil

just needs cossacks vodka sway and screen darkening to really shine, you know?

Now that's true chromatic aberration.

Did you check their official website?

Is there a mod out there that actually enhances the game experience in a legit way? Not something that just adds items or crafting, or makes enemies bullet sponges, or even restores cut content. But actual gameplay enhancement.

new repair system where you replace parts

I played vanilla Stalkers dozen of times, finished SoC probably ~ 30 times, but seeing some of these mods makes me go full WTF (in a good sense)

ZRP generally unfucks SoC in subtle and very vanilla, yet profound ways.

I understand having a simple layout, but those colors though...

Having joined in 2007 you should be old enough to remember most of the web looking like that.

It's a lot better than some modern sites I see, but that page is way newer than I'd expect to see that on.

Be aware that pre-packaged archives found elsewhere may not have the latest version, or even a recent version. ZRP 1.07 XR2 was released in October 2010, more than five years ago.

analmeme rc18 has free look ala ArmA, weapon lowering, and vastly improved performance. Pretty cool i guess. Too bad it still looks like theyve made no attempt to clean up the MISERY mess or balance all the items.

One more ZRP question:
Has anyone played it (1.07 version) with potato SoC?

Lektor? This is the most retarded thing about Polish public television. Why anyone would want this in a video game is beyond me.
