S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Oblivion Lost (by Kanyhalos)

[Viper114]

I noticed quite a few features borrowed from the AMK mod for OL. One thing I'm noticing is missing is the STALKER Network. I certainly enjoyed that aspect of the mod, where there would be reports of hostile activity or just general banter. Is the STALKER Network actually included in the 2.0 version of OL? Or is it still missing?

I just need the old job completing system, I'm okay without the "pay for his head option", at least it just make everything more simple to me.

Note. But if I can maintain the "pay for his head" option it will be just best....
Anyone can help me with it ?

so Kanyhalos,...can help me ? or it is impossible to ?

And, I don;t know but I can't find my energy bar...Or did you disable it ? can I make it appear again ?

Great Mod, I just registered here to tell you guys that!

This mod makes STALKER the way I always wanted it to be. The gun damage and accuracy actually make sense now, especially at harder difficulties. Also, I haven't noticed any bugs (on my way to X18?... the first lab now). There also isn't any 'cheat' items so far either that ruin the game, as far as I am concerned.

Great job 10/10!

The dynamic anomalies system cannot handle the activated artifacts, because they have not got enough params, which would be necessary.

Sorry, if I offended you...
I don't know what you mean by "handle". Anomalies, created manualy, must always remain in their original locations (and they do), because the primary reason you put them, is that they are a sort of permanent mines, planted in special places (for example, where the duty guys stand). Thus, you can virtually neutralize a whole faction and be occupied by an interesting task, rather than each time shoot your way through the bar and waste amo.
Anyway, in my experience, artifact activation feature is much more pleasurable than all the changes between OL1.3.3 and OL2 (although they are great).

As far as I understand Kanyhalos, he has a vision of his mod, that is not necessarily the same as yours. That may motivate his replies. I play OL2 6-7 hours a day. I've finished it twice with "artifact activation" enabled. Artificial anomalies stay on their original locations as expected. No crashes at all, but accidental ones - once a week, that always were...

Anomaly as a weapon is the most practical one, if you are at war with a whole faction. Just put them in precise locations where the guys stand/born (best works in the bar). This way, you can mine the stairs, trader entrances and house corridors. Some narrow places NPC's can't avoid. You can always run through them, 'cause those anomalies are weak.
Once, I joined monolith, mined all levels up to pripyat. There was still plenty to fight, but what a pleasure it is! What exceptional sounds various faction members produce, when they are blown up in an anomaly!!! And, of course, blood - is it not what we are playing for?
N.B. Use vortex and wirlgig and never burners or springboard.

Sidorovich's prices ARE bugged. His selling multiplier is 20× instead of 5× it's supposed to be. So basically everything costs 4 times more than what they're supposed to.
I looked into it but can't I find the error in the xml that controls his prices.


I guess the 5.45mm rebarreled Groza is there just for teasing. It disappears from his inventory if you leave the camp. I thought trader inventories supposed to reset when going from one map to anotherm, not when the player moves inside the map...

I would absolutely love to get that Groza in the beginning...

[pAuthority]

You can see a Groza behind Sid in the backroom, so I guess that's the modified Groza in his inventory. But anyway, I don't mind that I didn't get that gun in the beginning, I never really liked Groza. When you attach a scope to it, it blocks the view too much. And i prefer to use scopes. But oh the fun when I got the FN2000, that rocked. So much better (best weapon in the game?)

[Amraam]

I love the weapon sound effects this mod gives! Turn up the bass and vloume on my Z5400 5.1 sound system and you could think you're there for real. Especially when a supporting NPC opens fire right behind you when you're not expecting it!

[largon]

Modded Groza is great for ridding all those huge piles of 5.45mm you find in Agroprom eg. and since large quantities of 5.56mm come around only after BAR where you can get the 5.45mm Groza for free it's the best for gutting Garbage and Dark Valley. Dunno why but I've never really liked FN2000...
