Les Miserables Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

LES MISERABLE

Welcome, this is rebalance "Les Miserable" modification for Misery 2.1
It was made for good folks in STALKER General with love of course.
Aim for this rebalance is to tweak game to the point where it's less annoying but more enjoyable and rewarding for players efforts.
Contains some stuff from Unfucker/AnonTim tweaks for Misery 2.0.2
Rebalance doesn't touch some aspects of the Misery to keep mod's atmosphere.
Hardcore AI Aim is turned on by default.

VERSION 1.0.6 - you don't need Kelse version.

A lot of these tweaks are pretty great. I'm working on a larger addon for Misery, would you mind if I included some of these? Full credit, of course.

Sure if you feel like it.
I could even help you if you want, posting new version today.
Also I think I did send you message about anabiotics fix but for some reason it just disappeared.
Can I used it for my rebalance? with full credit.

Edited by: nokte

Yeah, sure. It's there to be used

THIS. Thank YOU for this excellent mod, i shall install it ontop of misery immediatelly after work

I have been trying to get stalkers to turn into zombies in misery after blowouts and psistorsm for the past mont hnow, but i never seem to find any stalkers zombified or even dead on the ground anywhere after blowouts. I was pretty dissapoint. I hope your mod will change thatю

Cheers!

By the way, might i request a thing or two ?

Perhaps as optional files ?

1. Could you increase the number of NPC's roaming Zaton/Pripyat? I was saddened about that recent change in MISERY 2.1
2. Do zombies drop some more proper loot in this version, or only NPC's included ?
3. Maybe increase Civilian zombie spawns around the swamps of ZATON ? Most of the swamplands seem deserted as NPC's dont use those waypoints to travel to their desinations
4. Can you make the "prone" camera hack removable as an optional download ? It is Zero help, and i actually die alot more because of the terible crouching as a sniper. By camera hack i mean that it only seems that i am lowering my head so the enemy could not see me, yet they can see my head and i cannot see them when i am using "prone" stance. I hope i was clear with this, can't explain any better.

Anyways thanks for this again!

As for optional files?
Spawns? I might work on merging orginal MSO rather than working on Misery's 2.1 MSO.
Also remember the note, if people have higher switch_distance than 300 usually that means NPCs and mutants kille eachother before you can even reach them.
Zombiez? I did not touched the amount of items dropped on dead bodies except ammo.
Blowouts should kill NPCs now and Psy-Storm should turn them to zombiez.
I will include camera fix now and upload it as optional file in next release.
I added this prone stance but it's engine that sucks so even when you camera is lover you are still positioned in low crouch and that is why you get hit anyway.
I added prone stance to everyone, should add that to readme and optional file.

NORMAL CAMERA FOR EVERY CLASS
Mega.co.nz

Pick up your class and override everything.

Edited by: nokte

Thanks

VERY IMPORTANT

Mega.co.nz

Quickfix for HUD. I will add it in 1.0.5 with official release, or 1.0.41.
Wanna do something more for 1.0.5 than bugfixing, maybe...

Sadly the camera fix doesnt seem to work i dropped the sniper class into the sniper folder but he still ducks as if he is laying on the ground

Edit:

Sorry, my mistake, its actually all good

Btw, if i want the blowouts or psistorms more frequent do i merely need to change atmosfear_parameters.ltx ?

And in blowouts there is set that stalkers explode, if i would write there instead of explode "killorturn" would that work ?

Edited by: Frostelis

Set "killonwave"
About frequency of blowouts, everything is described and yes, only atmosfear_parameters.ltx needs changed. Set it to whatever you like.

Sorry to bother you again, but i checked the low crouch and its still set as default 2.1 misery. What i did to check it was enter swampy water and low crouched, his head was under the water. If it were default low crouch he would be above the water.

Or maybe its just not working for me, but i replaced the class folder in the misery gamedata with your file. No big deal though, i am enjoying misery at the moment, already got my first psistorm

Also Beard is paying ALOT more money for damaged weapons than they cost themselves. For example hes willing to pay about 20 k for FN PAra sniper rifle which has about 50 percent condition...

Also I bought Modern Beretta from Owl for about 6k then beard is willing to pay about 9k for it. So this is very exploitable. I am using your optional 0 condition buying.

Also, traders do not buy scopes. I tried to sell them PSO scopes but neither beard nor Owl buy them. Same coudl be with silencers, cant remember atm, have to go to sleep cuz i got work in 6 hours.

Other than that and the prone stance which wasnt changed, everything works flawlesly.

ph_box0_center = 0.0, 0.94, 0.0
ph_box0_size = 0.35, 0.94, 0.35
ph_box1_center = 0.0, 0.71, 0.0
ph_box1_size = 0.35, 0.71, 0.35
ph_box2_center = 0.0, 0.55, 0.0
ph_box2_size = 0.35, 0.55, 0.35

This is how your settings for camera should look like in gamedata/configs/creatures/actor.ltx

HUD error fix doesn't have this included yet.

I installed only atmosfear file, as i wanted to see how psi storms and fallour work and look, but it seems they don't work. Moreover i don't have blowouts anymore. Is it suppossed to work only when your start a new game, or it can work on current unmodded game?

Edit: ok had to wait 3 days, and it's working.

Edited by: PassiveAggressive

alright i will check after i get back, thx

It's you! There is a link for your news_manager.script fix, thanks to Alun.
As for the blowouts. If you want to set your own blowouts, their frequency and turn of psi/fallouts go to
gamedata/configs/atmosfear_parameters.ltx
Everything is described there, should be easy for you. But if you have a problem contact me and I will see what I can do.

Should work on same save but you gotta wait.

Edited by: nokte

Yeah that was the problem, somehow the actor file was not replaced because the values were different than the ones specified by you, I added them manually, thanks

No problem.

I applied atmosfear config changes, enabling fallouts and psi storms, but they are not present in the game!. No matter what number i set for the frequency, is it 6 or 90, those additional effects aren't working. Blowouts work fine, but the rest isn't. What to do?

What about opt_ line? Did you changed it to 1 or psi and fallout?
They should happend, test with new game.

Of course i changed the parameter to 1. Even on new game i don't have those effects. No fallout, no psi storms, just the blowouts. I don't get any notifications about fallouts or psi storms, nor any visual effects. They are just non existant.

When I started working on Pripyat Reborn from the old beta files of Misery 2.0 I had, I found that there was an error in the atmosphere_default_parameters.ltx. Just use the one that comes with AF 3 and it should fix some stuff. Not sure if anyone corrected this.

I have been using Af3 paramerts, some people said the have psi/fallout now. Maybe I forgot to include it in new version.

I've seen the psi storms... haven't seen the fallouts though, what do the they look like? what are they?
also, is there any way of getting the mutant looting animation back?

Fallout is radoactive rain mostly.
As for the looting animation, I don't know why you want that but not mine business. I will include optional file for it in next release. Probably tomorrow or today.
