A New STALKER Experience - Call Of Chernobyl I.W.P

[@polipantev84]

The music you are hearing is from the original soundtrack of the movie Stalker/ СТАЛКЕР. It is a 1979 production from the soviet union. The director is probably the greatest film maker of all time named Andrei Tarkovski. And of course there is a book the movie is based upon called Roadside picnic, written by two brothers who were science fiction writers with the names of Arkadi and Boris Strugatski. All stalker games are somewhat inspired by the movie and the book. They are deeply phylosophical and cult classics. You can find them online if you are interested, but will need to forget everything you are used to watch as hollywood productions and really get into it. It is a very different type of cinema, but definitely worth watching.

[@barnaclejones822]

This mod is even better in terms of quests and story than Anomaly if you use the "call of the zone" quest port addon. It's really underrated, hope it gets more support and addons so that we can get an equivalent to gamma for IWP

[@kleanisklean]

I am actually using that in this play through! Great mod.

[@forgetaboutme703]

how do you even get it to work, i cant even start the game with it. always crashes :(

[@Matias-dr3ys]

@@forgetaboutme703 it should be drag and drop to gamedata atleast in vanilla CoC. either its conflicting with something or you installed it wrong. doctorXs mods had a specific install order if you have multiple of them.

[@grok_gamma]

Isn’t call of the zone or a fraction of it already part of anomaly? These are the glorified fetch tasks available at the different leaders, which change at every play through.

[@samithonjames370]

@@grok_gamma No grok it's not in anomaly anyway, "Glorified fetch tasks" he says as if gamma already isn't filled to the brim with menial tasks that amount to nothing. No they give life to a game that desperate needs levity and storytelling. From actual scripted random events during quests, To dynamic questlines that change depending on your rep to quests that have actual choices and alternate endings the further north you go, it's more than "simple fetch quests". Maybe if you actually played it yourself instead of crapping on other stalker content you'd figure it out. The main quest in COTZ is infinitely superior to anything you find in any other modpack, including yours which has zero interesting content to do at all. I see you on other modpacks making the same disparaging comments, advertising your frankly overrated and over-represented pack that steals assets from other creators btw. You need to learn some humility, your hatewatch of other stalker content to plug your own crappy modpack is frankly embarrassing. Personally, I feel like your comment is just insulting to doctor x, who actually made good and interesting content and didn't steal from other people. You know, like yourself. You should probably work on that, it's a serious character flaw.

[@SpecShadow]

I remember Last Day - really unstable, buggy and prone to bugs. That's when community started working on 64bit engine for better performance and stability. Another CoM modpack was Road to the North that used expanded Misery gunpack (TAZ the armed Zone) and had its own storylike. It was cool...

[@cptpinkfish9099]

I remember reading about RTTN's summary on moddb that there is a women companion in the storyline and being so hype for it, but upon playing it on release and seeing the female ecologist model disappointed me so much haha

[@zack7541]

I started playing RTTN again recently because I was taking a break from NLC7 (brutal SOC mod). RTTN has some really great mechanics and a good story, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a COC story mod (there are not a lot of full on story mods for COC sadly) I'd recommend with Stalker 2 coming out that people go back and play the originals as well. Some really good mods still out there to get in tune with the story again. If wanting recommendations - Radiophobia for SOC (1st game), Clear Sky LFO for CS (2nd game), and SGM/Gunslinger or Misery/Gunslinger for COP (3rd game). In my opinion those are up there as the 'best' overhaul mods for the originals, and if you're used to playing Anomaly or whatever derivative of it, these will be the most familiar for you. I do love the vanilla originals but I find a lot of people don't really like going back to those from what they have now, if you're willing too though there are fix/graphic update only mods you can use too such as the "Complete" mods. Good hunting STALKERS

[@ellieblaber4243]

there was also the classic dead air, which was really a fork on its own more but i still feel like it had a bit of influence

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

i love RTTN. I wish I could get hideout furnature in it so bad, its literally all i need in it. its perfect mod once you get past the rough start.

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

zi heard that this is basically, gorgeous road to the north? it plays similar?

[@sachiekat1238]

This mod having songs from the СТАЛКЕР 1979 OST like Медитация is so awesome That film and the book its based on really don't get enough recognition by the Stalker games fan base

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

Its because of the push to "de russify" the game...

[@GamerMarine89]

​@@xIcyStarzz-yz7my not just stalker anything that's soviet/russian esc. Ffs LifeOfBoris was shit on and thrown off the internet practically because he's a slav.

[@SiberianOldPal]

Reloading AKs, PP19s and the similar weapons with the right hand - it's what they teach you in the conscript-army. It's easier for a poorly and quickly educated conscript to reload with right hand, then pull the charging handle with the same hand. Yeah, strange, but it is what it is :D

[@africanricc1980]

its amazing what lighting, textures, and shaders can do for a game...updated my GAMMA with atmospherics and 8K textures and its literally night and day...love the stalker modding community!!

[@GamerMarine89]

Holy shit you just brought back memories at the mention of Misery mod. I miss those days but replaced them with GAMMA.

[@DoctorBreenBB]

About animation origin in this mod, it have alot of own great anims + some Gunslinger anims rerigged to vanilla Call of Pripyat arms, which again isn't possible without animation experience, since Gunslinger's main technical thing is own hand meshes with own skeleton, which actually makes it so incompatible with any other weapon mod, basically IWP is improved Gunslinger, which at cost not having very detailed weapon upgrade system gets much more varied weapon count, which is more important imho, since Gunslinger despite being in development for a decade literally isn't finished yet, and still have half of arsenal just pistols and half is rest of the guns. Also btw Gunslinger is kinda first released good animation mod, before was only Shoker weapon mod and other not so good animations like these which are used in vanilla anomaly, but there was another similar to Gunslinger mods like UANAM 2 and Clear Sky one, SWP if I recall correctly, again with own custom hand meshes and good animations, but they was abandoned though

[@CoolSmek]

Super cool to learn about the evolution of gamma and anomaly, I started with gamma basically so I have no reference point to the og mods.

[@nelsonmccusker3570]

The sound reverbing in Sid’s bunker - is this a COC only thing? I want this in Anomaly

[@grok_gamma]

It’s EAX. It’s disabled in Anomaly in the engine, not sure why. I guess that’s mainly because the maps don’t really support this feature very well, leading to bugs.

[@samithonjames370]

@@grok_gamma I haven't crashed in IWP with COTZ in like 30 hours. Your mod pack crashes like every 2 hours and is a stuttering mess. You do this all the time man, I see your comments on moddb too. Tell me are you always this much of a narcissist or is it just the o'l tube that makes you a jackass?

[@Poopsniffer07]

@@grok_gamma because its buggy as fuck and causes crashed frequently when enabled as such it was choosen to be disabled (old bug inherited from dead air and last day, coc aswell) which can even be traced back to call of pripyat with eax being fucky

[@TooMuchSascha]

@@grok_gamma Yeah the actual EAX framework exists in the games but: 1. EAX was proprietary for Creative Audio soundcards, and even now if you have one it was discontinued from support by Windows so you need .dll file fuckery to make it function 2. STALKER"s levels were never shipped with proper EAX zones for sound occlusion, though multiple modders have their own mods and addons that reinstate it in various states.

[@MajorShy]

Saw you play this on stream. I always love watching your runs on youtube. Keep it up bro

[@srddnrsmn7320]

CoC was simply the first mod to combine all maps from all three Stalker games into an openworld sandbox.

[@jovannesic7989]

it has also gaming modes, i played more warfare than anything back in the day

[@ltsEddie]

Instant like and sub! I’m new here but the video quality is great and I’m happy to see someone else playing the call of Chernobyl mod pack.

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Oh i loved Call Of Chernobyl so much, used to play it with the STcop weapon pack

[@hakzource8660]

The one weird thing about this mod is most quests become full on wars with your dozens of squad mates and an army of the enemy faction. Don’t know why but mercs weren’t shooting me at all despite being a loner (unless armor disguises are still a thing)

[@justasjurevicius4082]

Mercs are neutral to Stalkers in this mod, rather sure it's th same in CoC 1.4.22 if I remember correctly

[@TaskForceGamingTactical]

Who needs radio when you got those sweet acoustic skills lol but thanks for putting me onto this looks good. Nice Video

[@Eagle-ci9dr]

The dog thing happened to me, except I was in Jupiter, and it was a snork. He absolutely called my bluff. lol

[@francogaray2649]

that looks great, the only whing i don't kinda like its the depth of field when reloading and aiming, maybe its to save some resources?

[@justasjurevicius4082]

It's a setting in-game you can disable, it's also got options for individual things, so you can configure it as you please

[@araseddfa43]

this mod looks amazing with the right texture addons and reshade

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

This reminds me of road to the north

[@sesad5035]

By the way, if you want to test a lot of the weapons and some physics objects, I uploaded a mod in the Call of Chernobyl moddb page, at the addons section.

[@thegrayjedi5202]

Why it’s taking so long to get an online mmo stalker is wild. StalCraft is so fun but actual stalker online will be epic.

[@Wattermelondog]

Stalkcraft was made with multiplayer in mind, stalker was not, there is no infrastructure set to just easily make it multiplayer, so really dedicated ppl are making it from ground up and it takes time

[@thegrayjedi5202]

@@Wattermelondog that makes sense

[@Oneillshay74]

Even coop is nearly imposible to make in Stalker Engine, now imagine a mmo

[@GymBossAniki]

Other than a few Dayz mods that do that, only closest thing is XrMpe which is focusing on coop/horde mode stuff first and foremost to good result so far with promising added functionality that could lead to a mmo situation in the future if someone cranks out the effort to make a mod in XrMpe.

It's standalone, you just download and run it

man saw the coolest pp19 reload and said wow thats the weirdest pp19 reload ive ever seen 🤓

[@Garrumx]

You're not alone in your lack of understanding of how arms work.

[@MintyLime703]

It's weird because nobody does that. Reloading like that just does not work and it's apparent to anyone who owns or has used an AK. You'd have to push it out and swap the stock to your left shoulder to even be able to reload with your right hand like that, and even then it's a stretch to be able to actually rock the mag out and grab another. It's awkward and pointless to do. I mean I'm trying it as I type this just to be extra sure and I just cannot find a way to do it that makes any sense. It'd be easier with a shorter AK variant but even then it doesn't work.

[@ashe1.070]

That’s generally not how reloading works man. The mag release is on the left because they were designed to be reloaded with your left hand. Also, the general rule is to keep your right hand on the grip, so that you’re ready to fire immediately after reloading.

[@samithonjames370]

Nobody takes the time to reload with their right hand when you could be high ready with your right hand anyway and swap the mag with your left. It's awkward. Pointless. Not to mention looks flat out stupid. The mod pack itself is very good, but there's lots of questionable animations like that. Thankfully COTZ's writing and interesting quests hides any and all sins.

[@SiberianOldPal]

It's pointless for modern gun enthusiasts. But it is what we teach conscripts. Rules of that were written many years ago, and they were designed for teaching simple farmers how to operate a gun with minimum risks, not for maximum efficiency. You reload the magazine, then operate the charging handle with the same hand (just not to forget to do so!), plus there will be no accidental shots, since no hand is placed on the trigger now. There are many obscure things in our "Battle Manual", but... It is what it is :D Btw, guy who tried right hand reloading with his own AK, look at fire mode changer. You know why it is placed "save-auto-semi", not "save-semi-auto", as they usually do?) it's to prevent frightened conscript from nervously moving it to the lowest position out of fear, making it auto, then shooting all the fellow-conscripts :D
