great modification! but i have a problem: no enemies. I kill the bandits and there are no more enemies. is there an option to spawn more enemies?
sorry for my english.
I plan to cut out faction war and make mutant re-spawn on the next big update, since you can't have finishable faction war with mutant respawn. This version of the mod is about finishable faction war.
Nope. You clear location and go to another one until game ends.
this in itself is still perfect, I was just wondering if more enemy squads could randomly appear on the map?
after we capture the enemy base, a few squads would respawn in one or more places on the edge of the current map to try to retake it.
and whether there can be 1-2 squads from each faction on each track. such as oblivion lost.
this is just a tip. to be a surprise, to make the game varied.these are just ideas and tips that I think will make the game more enjoyable and meaningful. My personal opinion.
but something else came to my mind: do you know the call of pripyat smrter mod?
random, hidden unmarked hidden stashes are very good. I think it would be good as well
You just described vanilla spawn system with infinite respawns. With infinite annoyance of "MERC, WE NEED YOUR HELP". Surprises are in ABR COP. Since there is the base in the game for it. You never know how mutants will pack up and run at you. The thing you described is about scripting. I am not a scripter, and even if it was scripted it would be preconditioned this or that. Stalkers are not roaming locations. They just run by script on their points ater story quests and that's it. Before they bothered by mutants which were running to stalker points on spawn. CS almost has no any a-life or random things in spawns. It is scripted to death just to make this faction war work. And the only way to make it finishable was to make the mod like it is now.
Stashes are one the worst things this game series ever had which kill survival aspect. Prefilled ones in Pripyat destroy optimization and location stutters more plus zero economy balance. Random coordinates of vanilla SOC and CS stashes make games a tedious fathers of Death Stranding for running back and forth to carry trash, same goes to looted weapons with limited weight. All this "oh I have a tough choice what to take" ends up with collecting everything in nearby box and circling to trader.
It can look that I do not like CS. That is not, I still think CS is miles ahead of SOC. CS is a game which suffered zero love from devs and faction war ruined the game world, since all script base is revolving around it. This is why I'll try to cut it out. But there definetely will not be stashes. Stashes are meh.
Yo, people. The mod probably will not launch on gen11+ CPUs (on laptops for sure). If you wanna launch it you'll have to turn off integrated graphics, is it worth it? Decide yourself. We can't do anything about it.
great mod 10/10
thanks
I get a weird bug every once in a while where I am losing health slowly even though I have no artifacts equipped, I am not bleeding, and I am not irradiated. Not sure if its a quicksave issue or maybe I am irradiated just a tiny bit thats not going away? Its supposed to go down over time right?
Probably radiation, use antirad or vodka. It is not going away. I need to check it for new version, may be radiation level is hid under the radiation arrow or this is another CS bug.
I went back a few saves and it was fine and had it happen again it was radiation at that point so it probably was before too even though I thought I drank vodka but not sure if I remember. Also it seems to override my controls everytime I start the game again, any way I can force it to keep them? Bc I'm assuming I can't put in a actor.ltx in gamedata as that would override some of your stuff. Oh and one good thing I can say is supported is the 4k fonts mod.
your edits to controls should be saving.
run the game as admin and when you're done editing controls, use cfg_save in the console.
you shouldnt have to, but you can even manually edit your user.ltx then start the game.
