Full concept MODIFICATION of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat that touches every game aspect including textures, sfx, music, weapons, A.I., items, weather, mutants, difficulty and much much more!
1)
NPC's are looking too comfortable in the vanilla version of the game in my oppinion. Tanned and clean skin, shaved, healthy looking. I have changed this in MISERY and you will now find that most are letting their beards grow, may have facial scratches and generally have more pale skin to resemple that they suffer from fatique, lack of food, possible illness, fear and general discomfort. This kind of NPC redesign is going to enhance the feeling of being at a miserable place.
2)
Expansion of attachments for the vanilla weapons. Expecially the possibility of sound suppressors has opened up.
Also most new weapons included in MISERY can use one or more attachments (and are fully upgradeable).
3)
During my reevaluation of the arsenal prices I took many aspects into consideration including availability, attachments, handling, effectiveness, reliability, popularity and origin of each weapon. I am very open to suggestions regarding the weapon prices as there are soo many things to take into consideration for each one of them. The most expensive of each category is not necessarily the most favoured as there can be huge advantage in using and maintaining a budget firearm. This price list is likely to be updated before release...
4)
Stalkers of the Zone are wearing body armour, suits and clothes with a colour scheme that resemples the actual environment better. Less 'fresh green' and more 'yellow illness' in the looks. Gaskmasks has been toned to a darker variant and different kinds of head camouflaging are now used by the Stalkers in particular. Like this black facemask used by the russian and ukranian special forces in real life. I find it to be suiting as face camouflage since it is easily attainable and effective.
Cool!
N.Aaroe, I love you for those awesome new facemasks! =D
There is some price mistakes maybe. For example, why an AK-74 is more expensive than an Abakan ?
You must misundersand, the Abakan is 7000 and the AK74U is at 3300
My fault sorry ^^
I'd love to try out a Dessert Eagle! Sweetness ^_^
Thanks for your hard work and making the mod I've always wanted! Great job!
I just now got that pun.
I hope you dont live by the philosophy, the most expensive gun = the best gun. Balance in weapons is key to awesome gameplay.
One little thing I know that it may be really hard to categorize VSK-94. It is pretty compact based on 9A-91 subassault rifle weapon use heavy 9mm round got single and full auto fire xD But it was developed to replacement for VSS so maybe it should be a sniper rifle?
But I think part of the reason why the 9A-91 was so attractive in the first place was that you could simply take off the scope and suddenly you've got a fantastic spec-ops carbine. The close-range character out of the three starts off with a VSK. I don't think we need to inference much more from there.
The VSK94 could be placed in either category but it really is easily handled and being a silenced light weight rifle I decided to place it in the lighter category. The specific model included is highly personalized in terms of look and feel. It's like it wants to be a close range spitter
Yeah it is pretty light elite weapon. I only hope that we will may attach PSO scope on it ;)
I do like beards in-game, but Pilot deserve that fresh, shaved look, the scar looks nice
I'll keep the medic shaved but Pilot is often outside leaving a scar and a somewhat controlled beard. Sultan has damaged his right eye...
everytihing looks fking outstanding
Why on earth is the M16 an Sniper rifle?
It has been configured to have either single shots or burst fire mode.
Also it has a sniper scope permanently attached making this m16 variant much more a sniper rifle than a assault rifle. But I understand why you ask
DMR, man. AR-15 has always been a very stable firing platform. The other thing is that it's a cool niche historical weapon to add in. This is the M16A1 variant of the rifle, which was used in the Vietnam era, and sometimes they would throw it on semi-auto and bolt a scope onto the top of it.
Nice change (in terms of the different NPC's looks)
holy **** looks like im gonna have a problem here. i'm a sniper in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and these snipers are pretty exspensive.....oh holy ****....looks like i'm gonna have to sell some of the bandits **** again..
Nah. If you pick the Sniper class to start, your starter gear includes a bolt-action rifle in 7.62. It might not be the best thing on the planet, but you'll be punching bullets through faces from the get-go.
Agreed. Only thing is the m1891 as entry gear is without a sniper scope to accompany the rifle. As a USS sniper that scope could be the obvious goal for your initial exploration and/or trading.
Oooh, really? Damn. Snagging that scope must be important. How difficult will one be to locate? I imagine that PSO scopes and the like will be somewhat more common due to the ubiquity of the Kalashnikov, but we can't really attach one of those to something as ancient as a Mosin-Nagant, can we?
For Mosin Nagants you should have a few models. The 91/30 and the 44 carbine. The rifle uses the PU scope normally so that could be another item. Another good sidearm is the Nagant 1895 revolver it uses a 7.62x38 round and because of the way the revolver is built it can be supressed. It would be a very good old soviet weapon to throw into the game. If you're gonna make an m16 a sniper rifle you might as well throw in an AR10 (ar15 in .308)
With pricing the 91/30 in the US cost around 100USD and the nagant revolver around 120 with prices converting to rubles at 3000 and 3600ru respectively. With the weapons being more available in the zone (as a former soviet sphere area) i think they should probably be around this (given the tough economy of the zone this will offset their "availability")
Where is my beloved LR300?
It's there. Look under SMG/Carbine. The LR 300 is built as an entry-level weapon for close-quarters battle. That's why it's compact, but tough and easy enough to fire on full-auto. Thing less "M16" and more "M4". It's essentially a souped up, kickass version of the latter, which is a carbine.
If I may add my 2-cents on the weapon prices and attachments... I really like the idea of technical accuracy over gameplay balance. Obviously, lower-teir STALKERs should get worse gear, from a price and performance standpoint. But there is such a variety of weapons here, that balancing weapon stats shouldn't be such an issue.
I honestly think that the best way to do this is to make the weapons very accurate to real life- even though that will make some very similar- and set prices and availability at a vaguely "realisic" level. Then take data from the BETAs on which guns people prefer, and make those more prevalent or more expensive.
In the end, you could see that the M16 (let's just say) wasn't well liked. Say that people prefered the M4 instead. You could drop off the number of M16s found on veteran STALKERs and reduce the value of it overall. Then boost the value of the M4.
TL,DR:
More realistic add-ons, stats, costs, and availability of weapons. fine-tune the later two through beta research as to player preferences.
So wait a minute. This "Obrez", the cut down Mosin Nagant, why is it under "Shotgun"? Is it because the recoil, combined with massive power, manual action, and lack of ranged accuracy essentially make it a sawed off pump-action shotgun?
Exactemundo (if we change 'pump-action' to 'bolt-action')
OK, cool. Was just wondering. If I run a Sniper I might want to keep one on me for ammo compatibility.
Good idea. I just did the exact same thing last night and found myself to be well equipped and didn't even have to manage two types of ammo
Can i just ask? is there going to be an install wizard? because that would be really nice.
Planned, not promised
I like your idea, thanks
(Double post)
ok i just hope you decide to do an install wizard, because my game is kinda bugged and when i try to turn false to true in that data thingy, this means that i cannot install mods without it having an install w... thats actually the only reason i was able to install stalker complete. anyways even if i wont be able to install your i still endorse your work. :)
omg i just read one of your ealier posts in another pic, where you was in a conversation with a fellow who wrote a not so bad continuing to something, and you said you wanted it in danish!! er du dansk? (are you danish
Hi all and happy new year,
It looks..... GREAT!!!... BUT I hope my computer can run it...lol... :-/, anyway 1 more week.
Regards.
Yeah, I'm danish. I bet you are thinking about the german writer who did little interesting fiction posts here and there, right?
Getting really excited for the release, have a couple questions regarding the Obrez. Why not classify it as a pistol? Keep the same price, make it relatively uncommon, but not rare. I might prefer the brute power of 54R in my handgun slot in exchange for the better accuracy and firepower of a regular handgun, sometimes. Also how is the muzzle flash animation for Obrez? My M38 carbine has a fairly large muzzle flash, and Obrez has a big fireball for a muzzle flash! The flash is about the size of a human torso, not sure how you would go about making that animation work though.
yeah im talking about that german, he had some talent. Anyways there is one week from now till release and me and my friend has been masturbaiting to the thing you've done to stalker :P. And now the new rewriten conversations are just... Just awsome, i dont know if u desided but if its not too late... if u have decided to do it, then that install wizard... im not asking you to start on it now (even though that would be nice) but if u decided that its not gonna be here for the final release, could you please at some point make an update with an install wizard? it would be soo nice. thanks in advance
m16a1 is a sniper rifle?
Already answered: "It has been configured to have either single shots or burst fire mode. Also it has a sniper scope permanently attached making this m16 variant much more a sniper rifle than a assault rifle..."
Oh it was? sorry, i didn't look very hard was at school when i wrote that.
Looks like im going to have to find a new favorite assault rifle.. galil here i come!
FN FAL, Yes finally a STALKER mod that adds 7.62x51
I believe that The SoC mod "SMP 2.4" has 7.62x51 ammo.
I think all weapons are to cheap. 10000 ru are about 250 euro. Maybe its a different exchange rate in the game. And I think its funny that they use Rubel instead of Hrywnja (ukrainian money).
Did you change the ammo for the D.Eagle?
