So if you want to engage enemy stalkers at 300 m, this needs to be set to at least 300 m. gamedata/configs/alife.ltx controls the Alife system, here we can adjust at what distance Alife switches from passive into active mode. To take full advantage of the 'eye_range' setting though, we need to modify another file: Though due to infinite ammo, they may still hit you a fair number of times since they fire a lot of bullets. Leave the other 'eye_range' settings alone, except perhaps adjust 'eye_fov' which adjusts the NPC field of view.Īt default settings, NPC accuracy rapidly drops of after (I think) 30 m, so a high eye_range won't allow them to snipe you with terrible weapons from 300 m. This will make encounters more realistic and intense, e.g in SoC in the last level over the rooftops of the CNPP, the Monolith can now fire at you from the other roofs as well (as they realistically should). However you can easily hit the NPCs in the torso from 300 m even with a scoped assault rifle. In the vanilla game and most mods this is set way too low, like 100 meters. 'eye_range' under section 'visibility' in file /gamedata/configs/creatures/m_stalker.ltx controls how far the human NPCs can 'see' (actually, shoot back at you). While we are talking about modding, two settings I consider especially important:

db files and put modified text files in your gamedata folder. If you want to mod the game yourself, you can do so with the AXRToolset, with it you can easily unpack the.

I also like Arsenal Overhaul for CoP, though that does add many new weapons and some new items (it also includes specially adapted versions of Atmosfear and Absolute Nature).įor Clear Sky I'd probably just use the Clear Sky Reclamation Project, though I haven't played that game much. CoP does not really need any bugfix mods. If you have any advice, thanks in advance! Mh, for an experience close to Vanilla I'd go with the above-mentioned Starter Pack 2017 for Shadow of Chernobyl.įor Call of Pripyat I'd use Atmosfear and Absolute Nature/Structures. I'm all for 'logical' add-ons (like carefully tought changes to the health system or the likes) that would fit with the original spirit, and I don't want anything to 'expand' my experience (new zones, new enemy types, new weapons.) since I've never completed a 'vanilla' run of these games. I loved this guy's mods back in the day, which current mod would be close to it? My main goal is to make the game as beautiful as possible and as bug-free as possible. This thread seems interesting to me, with several options available.

Since they are all from 2009-2010-211, I guess they're heavily outdated now, but I must admit I don't know what's good. I remember playing back in the day with these series of mods : Xa_chan: I necrothread a bit here, since I've finished a game and thought I'd give a go to the STALKER series.
