Comments - Strakog

Hey man, I've got a question regarding this addon. I think I downloaded it once and then forgot about it. I also installed Trader overhaul with the neutral trader option. As you said, there are no issues between them, but I've been reading the comments here and noticed some discrepancies with my own playthrough.

- I killed every named NPC in the bandit Base with no issue
- I did the same in the military outpost in Cordon
- Ditto in the Military HQ in Agroprom

So none of those merchants was neutral, IDC because I was planning on murdering them myself, I just mention it because you said that Sultan for example would be neutral with this mod.

But the thing is that the SIN traders in Red Forest are indeed neutral, and they're also immortal. I can't damage them in any way or form. I was wondering if you had any idea what the issue is, and if there's any way to make traders of factions I don't care about killable.

Thank you for your work.

Oh, then I must have installed another neutral trader mod that actually made them invulnerable and forgot about it. That's a bummer, but I guess I'll live with it, thanks for the prompt answer!

Hey man! I've been using your mod and it's working great now. I had a question about something (not a bug). I'm using the "Neutral trader" version and it's been very useful to protect characters like Loris and Xenotech from biting the bullet randomly. But I just found out it also protects some characters that I wish to murderize myself (Some SIN traders in Red Forest are invulnerable). I was wondering what should I modify to make them killable again.

Thank you for your great work.

Hi, amazing mod, but I've been having some issues. That is: My companions keep getting killed. Sometimes they "don't die" as they are supposed to, and I've watched Hip getting machinegunned for 20 seconds straight without missing a beat. But sometimes they just... die. The rando ones more than all. Maybe they're out there fighting a mutant or an enemy and just like that their "invencibility" fails and they just die normally. Hip died once too (I wasn't with her, she picked a fight with the Military in south Cordon and I fast traveled away. 30 seconds later I got the notification that she kicked the bucket). This is, as you can imagine, really troublesome. I redownloaded the mod to check if it was caused by overlapping and will be getting back to you shortly if I see it happen again.

EDIT: My companions keep dying to normal attacks, I'll go check for another mod with similar functionality

Update this to 1.5.1 please! It's a great idea

I kept playing and found out that Spore's stock also started inflating unnaturaly, but less so than before. Maybe it's just this save that's cursed? LoL Anyway, I'll let you know if it happens again on another playthrough.

I reinstalled the addon and kept on playing, then I tried dropping the restock hs to 12 and waiting a few days. Their stocks got smaller but they keep having items that don't fit my progression level. I got to the swamp and met Spore, he started with a normal stock and then got like 4 or 5 shotguns, assault rifles and sniper rifles in one or two days, but he never got to a bloated stock level like Sidorovich and Loris. At this point I don't really know if the issue persisted or it has already been solved and I'm just seeing the remains of their unnatural stocks until everything goes back to normal. Anyway, thanks for your answer.

Hello! I'm having sort of an "Issue", it's between inverted commas because it's not actually an error or something it's just something that bothers me immersion wise. I like the "progress" aspect of the game, that is, start with terrible armor and rubbish weapons and getting better through loot and sensible purchases. The thing that I noticed in my new playthrough is that starting traders (Sidorovich and Loris) have an absurd amount of items on stock. I mean, absurd. In other playthroughs they may have 3 or four main weapons in various states of disrepair, some pistols, medicine, etc. Now they consistently have more than 10 100% weapons each, many kinds of armor (even some that looks middle-gameish), attachments, every kind of pill imaginable and even anabiotics. It seems like something that should limit their stocks just isn't working. I was wondering if you know what I'm talking about and if there's something I can do about it, or is it just a weird glitch that will solve itself? I'm scared to keep playing and just find merchants with progression ruining amounts of stock.

I solved the zoomed pistol issue taking out BaS with the manager, installing an addon that fixes gun positions for vanilla guns and re-enabling BaS. Thanks for the spawn menu idea, I really hadn't thought of that.

Hey, nice idea. Does this work with 1.5.1?

Update: I tried to go back to my gamedata backup to avoid the second error, but it was of no use. Now every time I load up a save or try to start a new game I get that one. My game is thoroughly f****d and my saves are probably corrupted. I'll try uninstalling and instaling again and commenting how it goes

UPDATE 2:
I redownloaded everything and now I can start a new game, but if I try to load my old saves I get

Fatal Error

I've given up on those saves and will start a new game, I'll take that lost time as a trial run. However, I won't delete them. If by a miracle you know what happened, could you please tell me? Or at least you have a precedent if someone comes up with the same issue.

Another thing, I noticed that when I use a tool with the pistol, the pistol gets incredibly close to my "face" and I don't like it. I don't think it happened in my last run. Is it something that has to do with this mod? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I just can't find an answer online.

Hi Mitch, I had the following error:

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CModelPool::Instance_Load
[error]File : ..\xrRender\ModelPool.cpp
[error]Line : 120
[error]Description : fatal error
[error]Arguments : Can't find model file 'dynamics\weapons\wpn_saiga12s_m1\wpn_saiga12s_m1_1p29_hud.ogf'.

I had some issues randomly before, but this time it CTD's every time I load a certain save. Every time I fast traveled somewhere, it CTD on me, except one time, I thought I had fixed it so I quicksaved and quit, when I loaded that save, the same problem appeared. Do you have any idea of what's going on?

Thank you, you made a great addon!

I've got the ini log here, if you need it.

Hey, I've got the very same issue, can you tell me what you did to solve it? I try reloading the save where I got the issue and it CTD's over and over, just once it didn't do it, so I thought I solved it, but it kept happening
