is there anyway to reduce the spawns of mutants after a blowout? i mean yeah its kinda fun but when you just started and have nothing but a USP45, M4 shorty shotgun and a AK101 and have to face 20+ rats, 4 Pseudogiants, 6 bloodsuckers and 5 chimera all at once, thats kinda way too much

you had me at AUG A3

Awesome Mod pack, but there is one thing missing. is there anyway to find and install the Arena expansion mod from SMP 2.4?

so what all does this pack have in it and do i need any patches?

Is this like OL2010 where you HAVE to play on Max graphics or can i play this on static lighting? My PC can play CoP:complete on Object Dynamic Lighting so could it play MISERY on static?

okay last post for a long time on this mod page. I'll start with the good.

Doesn't require a nuclear processor to run at full dynamic high graphics, love the mag system and loose bullets, love the concept and realism, feelings of loneliness and dread accomplished

BUT... this mod is unplayable. it isn't an issue with performance/stability. it's balance i understand changing combat related stuff to increase realism but you've gone too far and are deep in impossibility. i've beat OL on Master so I'm not some zone newbie i know how to thrive in the zone(love the Silent invisible anomalies, keeps you on your toes) but i have to play this at STALKER because any harder and any combat with anything results in my death. to keep it short i don't like: no reloading mid mag(can't tactical reload), changing the most efficient way of killing from hitting your target as much as you can till it drops to shoot your target in the foot a few time then run like a bitch and wait for him to bleedout not to mention it takes like 4 headshots or 10 bodyshots to drop your target while they can annihilate you with 2 pistol shots because my armor is gone from the last guy who hit me 3 times.

I really really love this Mod's concept and design and this mod would be my absolute favorite if it wasn't for the gamebreaking impossible combat. I feel kinda cheating after wasting 2 days trying to get steam to run v1.0004 and then having to quit 3 hours later. If i get around to it I'll change some config so suits are made of flash paper and bandits can't kill me in 1 shot with a Pm. If there's anyway to contact you and share my full thoughts to help, tell me because i really want to enjoy this mod but its just too unbalanced right now.

last time scratch the above post i got it to downgrade with steam. If anyone needs help with getting V1.0004 onto steam PM me

okay last comment I'm going to make for a little. I trying to get the 1.06 patch to work on V1.0005 steam version. Either i try to run it in 1.0005 and i crash whenever i take the job form Sid, talk to Wolf ETC. so that's a no go.

Then there's installing the 1.06 then taking the compatibility patch from v1.0 ZOA and merging that into the patch which makes it work but it seems to cause more dialog issue such as ~50% of PDA messages such as "[stalker name]: selling X at Y" are in Russian and some messages start out in English but then after 3 words finishes the sentence in Russian, also i feel as though i might have copied over some files that Fatal patched.

Last and what i want to do is get STEAM to run it in v1.0004 and then install the mod which would be best and most stable however whenever i try to get steam to run v1.0004 i get this error log even before i see the THQ logo.

Expression : xml_doc.NavigateToNode(path,index)
Function : CUIXmlInit::InitStatic

What i did to try and get steam running 4 instead of 5 was
1. uninstalled current SoC
2. reinstall with STEAM
3. go into regedit and change the InstallVers to 1.0003 and InstallLang to en
4. run 1.0004 US patch because i cannot get the Worldwide patch to work
5. take all the files in the Steam folder and transfer them to the new THQ folder and overwrite any conflicts
6. delete gamedata.dbc because its a 1.0005 file
7. move the combined folder back to steam
8. Launch, Crash, Swear loudly

scratch that, i got it working with 1.0005. i just got a few other things though i wanna ask about. one am i not suppose to be able to reload mid-mag? I am a devout believer in the tactical reload and will reload mid fight if i'm 24/30 and get a few seconds breathing time. 2 when i unload mags it shoots a bullet on the ground, now i don't enjoy blowing my fingers off all over sid's bunker but since it took awhile to get it to unload a mag without it reloading everything back in the mag i just unloaded, i wasted 20+ rounds which all stalkers know is a death sentence. I love the mag system though. everything else i'll fix on my own like the suit degrading to <20% in 5 9mm hits and the 35 weight limit. all in all though my favorite mod so far and i haven't even met fox yet.

is there any way to get the 1.06 patch to work with 1.0005? if not how can i downgrade the STEAM version to 1.0004?

Will this still work with 1.0005? i installed the base mod without any patches and use the 1.0005 compatibility patch. so do i just copy and paste all the patches and be done with it or do i need to install all the patches and redo the compatibility patch after it all?

AUG and Glock

how do you get these to work? as in install and run, I tried copying the gamedata folder straight into the COP folder and tried starting a new game and it crashes everytime. im running COP complete

yeah i after i posted it i played a little more, beat X16, went to talk to duty general, and i was trading with everyone on base to get 5.56 ammo. and some duty scumbag, the one in the exo that looks like he's guarding the general to his left, well i checked his inventory and he was the one who stole all my stuff... so is there anyway to prevent this, or will it stop happening because im friends with duty and he already stole from me once, or should i do what a really stalker does and put a bullet in his head?

hi im having a very annoying problem. it seems no matter where i stash weapons outside of my inventory, for some unknown reason after some time they will disappear. only weapons not ammo food nothing else but the weapons disappear from my stash

So im having some stability issues. i cant play the game in Object dynamic lighting and sometimes if i quicksave it randomly crashes. All in All no complainants just how do you fix these crashes?

Little sad theres no AUG A3 but you made it up 9001 times over with all the new sexy *** rifles. quick question why so many AKs?

Any way to get it working on Steam? i've waited too long and this game looks too good for me not to be able to play it

Dude you had me at the Scars and TRG and AWM but once i saw the !3! AUGs and SG552/551... dude you owe me a new keyboard this one's too sticky :) quick question though why so many AKs? different chamberings?

I've installed and played this on my laptop and it works fine but i steam installed SoC on my desktop and installed Complete and i keep getting CTD if i press any of the F# buttons. what gives?

Im going to play CoP after i beat Clear Sky which was unplayable due to all the bugs until i installed Complete. but seeing as ill have a lot of time due to having to restart CS 2 times before i installed Complete (works perfectly now) should i play CoP vanilla or complete?

I've beat SoC vanilla and Complete I loved SoC Vanilla ALOT but when i played it with complete it was amazing 10/10.

but I've heard CoP was very stable and very well put together vanilla so should i do a SoC style gameplay? 1st Vanilla then Mod?

Can i install this on a current save? or do i need to start a new save?

I want to Increase the zoom of the Scope of the Sniper LR300. how can i do it? I see the file in Unique items but theres no scope zoom level modifier. Will i just need to add it?
