STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Mod Thread

[bonescraper]

There is an option in the installer for the more saturated look

Nope, just an option with no ENB and another one with shitty treees.

What version of AA have you downloaded? That AN94 doesnt look like the one I have in terms of textures

2.1, obviously. That's not AN94, it's an "easter egg" Strelok's AK. But it's from my earlier playthrough, AA ver. 2.0 i think? There might be some differences. The point here is, i didn't use ENB back then.

Sorry but I can't see the difference in those pics except on weather (clear for the above, foggy for the below ones). Are you sure it isn't a matter of continue playing and waiting for a change of weather ?

 

[bonescraper]

Colors are oversaturated and the game is too bright. It also makes some details far less visible (anomalies, gusts of wind).

And it's not the weather, take a look at the fingers, that skin tone looks way less natural.

 

[Invictus]

I dont see any difference either Bonescraper so either come up with some "with and without" pics of the same sacreenshot or gtfo
By the way Surf Solar, did you use ENB for the shots you posted? Those look wonderful

 

[bonescraper]

Wow, you people need to get your eyes checked...

And if you didn't know this already, the point of this mod is to make the game look more gloomy and doomy, not bright and cheerful.

 

[Silva]

Sorry, I dont know how to took at off. Though I must say I prefer the brighter gfx better.

EDIT: What I have also done is to delete the new custom music the mod introduces. It sounds cool, but I want vanilla music.

How do you do that ? I tried deleting the music folder but the mod crashes in the beginning.

 

[Invictus]

The reason why we couldnt tell which was which is that we didnt know if those shots were made during different ingame hours, but now with your example it looks much better without the ENB and sans fps hit too

Oh and Silva I never found a way to use AA in Stalker games; not even Super Sampling seems to work

 

[DraQ]

I'd love to play Autumn Aurora with ENB on, but i can't stand the saturation it adds. Is there a way to make the game look like it should with ENB on?

Without ENB.

With ENB.

So, you can't live without shitty DoF blur?

 

[ghostdog]

Yeah, wtf the first screens are much better. At least use enb to force some AA or something.

Anyway, in the enb.ini you can change settings that affect saturation, brightness, etc.

Remove all files with _amb in name in gamedata/sounds/music

And yes Invictus I am using it with ENB, it looks wonderful. Not sure what bonesctapers problem is. Turn up the brightness?

 

[bonescraper]

I don't care about DoF, ENB can make the shadows look better, adds SMAA and some more advanced shaders. But looks like there's no way to make it look more natural, so i got rid of it.

 

[Invictus]

Why does Bonescraper's ENB picks look so bright and saturated while Surf's look so nice?

 

[Silva]

I have no idea either, here it looks great. I think its one of the more realistic-looking gfx in a Stalker mod Ive seen.

 

[Surf Solar]

Really loving Autumn Aurora!

But, when I went into x18 this evening... I was greeted by

Spoiler

Fight against the bandits, clearing out the factory was AWESOME though. I have never felt more tense shootouts in any game before now that the game is proper hard. Only thing I still don't get is how to free that stalker in the cellar or where to get the key from. Or is it the same key I get from Borov?

 

[pippin]

Grabbed all Stalker games during last GoG sale and I'm loving them. I've only played the first one before, for a few minutes in a friend's house, and it felt terrifying, glad to know this feeling continues all through the game. The fact that I have some sort of phobia about dogs doesn't help at all

 

[Invictus]

Glad you did it pippin; best $15 you ever spent

 

[DraQ]

You don't.

Yet.

Is Autumn Aurora the mod that has the M110 that weights a ton and vanishes if you drop it?

I know misery had Rhodesian civil war FN Fal's and the green dragon. But I can't remember if it had the M110 as well.

 

[Sodafish]

Is Autumn Aurora the mod that has the M110 that weights a ton and vanishes if you drop it?

I was watching a LP of the AA mod and that happened with a Mosin Nagant. The reason was that when picked up it was loaded with about 1000 rounds of sniper ammo. Once unloaded it weighed the normal amount. Maybe it's the same bug?

 

[Surf Solar]

For fucks sake.

And they put ANOTHER one directly upon decending the first big ladder in x16, the Burer just oneshots you without the player having any Line of Sight onto him. Not what I would call fun. It really taints the otherwise excellent mod.

 

[praetor]

^most mods have random shit like that for no reason other than modders thinking "it's fun", nevermind that it isn't and it obliterates the atmosphere...

 

[Surf Solar]

Cheesed the encounter by running directly in the tunnel where those fucked up toilets are, picked the Zombies of one by one as they came in to get me. Made it through x16 now and it was as fun as last time, still that Burer shit taints the experience a bit.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Modders gonna modders.
And isn't that Crom guy that cocked trigger (easy to go rage) that was working on Lost Alpha?

 

[Weirdstuffinspace]

Quick question:

Call of pripyat first playthrough.

Neither.

Try Misery 1.2 instead, preferably with a scout.
