Tarkov/SPT-AKI, tacticool FPS and Blue Archive enjoyer. I made mods mostly just for myself at first, but I figured that other people could also use them, hence this profile. Hopefully you enjoy my mods even though they're not that polished, in a way!

Thanks for the comment, and for now I don't have any interest in making such a mod sorry.

Can you fix the USP 45's sights in ADS? I've noticed that the front sight notches up slightly compared to rear sight, with your mod installed

Large update this time around, mostly for fixing stuff and a few buffs. Barring any significant issues that'll be it for a while, right now I believe this mod is in a good (enough) place balancing and feature wise.

It's not just the PDA, seems like your mod also breaks the night-vision googles too - they no longer shut off right after switching on during emissions.

I've also included an alternative 12x70.ltx file in the newest mod update, that lets shotgun deal more raw damage compared to my default values. You can try that out instead.

Yeah I've nerfed pistol's and shotgun's raw damages a bit, but assault rifles are much better now overall, compared to vanilla Stalker/TS.

Therefore IMO, with this mod you should be using assault rifles, or a semi-auto shotgun as your main weapon. Even the starter AK-74M is very usable in late game, except against exos and psuedogiant.

If you want to un-nerf the shotguns, simply go to gamedata/configs/weapons/ammo in the main True Stalker folder, then delete 12x70.ltx - that should restore the original shotgun ammunition stats.

This will, however, make eneny NPCs using shotguns a lot more lethal...

Late comment, but I've scourged all the upgrades.ltx files for pistols, and can't find any upgrades that have such a cost so far. Thanks for informing me of this though, I'll try to tackle this if I do see it in game.

Interesting, I didn't modify upgrade cost/weapon trade value in game so that's probably a leftover typo from True Stalker. Will rectify it later

In case anyone is wondering what happened to this mod a few days ago, basically I archived it by mistake and un-archiving requires authorization, which takes longer than I expected...

Sorry guys :(

Interesting comment on your configuration edits, thanks.

So far I've only left muzzle velocity as is, since (afaik) weapon damage remains constant regardless of range in GUNSLINGER/True Stalker, and it's "good enough" so to say, while not being slow as molasses like stock values. I could look into this later on however...

Try using the extractor for OP 2.1, it's posted and pinned somewhere on the C-Consciousness Discord server..

Far as I know that's not really possible with light_night.ltx itself unfortunately. If you want to edit colors or any other value though, the file itself will have some notes in it.

Sorry but that's out of my modding scope. It's a hardcoded animation (?) behaviour from the original GUNSLINGER mod, that isn't configurable from weapon config files.

It seems like OpenXRay GUNSLINGER - in which True Stalker's weapon system is based on, hasn't ported that particular function from the original mod yet. So yeah...I really can't do anything about this.

Just guesswork on what all these functions do, plus trail and error testing, and looking up what little documentation that is there regarding weapon files in Stalker. I don't have these bookmarked on my PC so can't give you any right now, sorry.

Nah, no new game needed. Just install and play.

Though I do recommend starting a new game with this mod, not because of compatibility issues – it should work fine with an existing save, but because the weapon meta has changed so much that you might (or not) actually enjoy using the starter weapons lol

Are you using other mods that also modify weapons in game? This is likely to be a compatibility issues if you overwrite these mods with mine.

How did you trigger this, by the way? Does this crash happen right when you try loading a save, during game start up, or only when you go to a certain location in game?

You can buy it from the traders, I've seen the Garbage and Bar 100 trader selling it at one point.

Yeah, mistyping on my side - difficulties don't affect damage at all at least when I tested it out, but higher difficulty will still give your character way less damage protection...of which likely doesn't sit well with my mod, and renders armor pretty much useless at the same time.

Regarding hit registration, Master still has RNG in it since you still have a 50% (or 0.5) chance to not receive any income damage, as opposed to 30% on Stalker...I honestly don't see why Master is the "intended" difficulty, since this difficulty really only handicaps your character, but you do you man.

It's not going to work well with my mod unfortunately, since his mod would conflict with changes that I've made to handgun, SMG and shotgun upgrades.

But alternatively, if you just want the Cordon technician to give you all the upgrades, you can use the Debug Tool mod and give yourself all the needed toolkits.
