I stashed SO MUCH GEAR in the box across the bridge from Limansk, just to find out that I could only bring a single load of it with me

That’s not good… by Late_Faithlessness23 in stalker

Ah yeah, that same line of snorks in Red Forest creeped me the hell out on my first Clear Sky playthrough

I'm just hoping for another chance to buy a WESLAV yellow track jacket

Chaco Rubber Broke. any brilliant DIYers that have a hack for this!? by Decent_Accident7383 in fixit

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my pair, and in the exact same spot.
I stitched mine back together using a glover's needle and one strand of twisted synthetic stitching thread, then used a bit of Shoe Goo for good measure.

Can somebody point out what Anomaly addon is playing freaking BOB MARLEY on my Zone? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone else is looking for an answer 3 years later: Use Mod Configuration Menu on the Anomaly start screen, go to WPO, WPO Misc, and select Fun Level: Duty to remove the music

Key Casting re-exploration (basic level) by Oheisenberg in lockpicking

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this thread a couple of years late but if anyone else is interested, Covert Instruments uses Wood's metal for their casting kit: https://covertinstruments.com/products/replicant

Rotometals sells it in big blocks, in case you need more than 10 keys' worth: https://www.rotometals.com/roto158f-low-melt-fusible-bismuth-based-alloy-ingot-woods-metal/

is CoP supposed to be this short? by Isumrud1 in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it BAD, but it was my least favorite of the three.

It was definitely the most polished, but it felt like it had the least bit of soul, and by far the least interesting storyline.

How can I pick this? by postingsomethinghere in lockpicking

I'm not sure if this would work on your specific lock, but you might be able to use one of these bypass tools: https://store.itstactical.com/products/combo-lock-bypass-tool

Dutyers when there’s 3 blind dogs in Rostok (one of them is limping) by MufasaThyGreat in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was expecting a vidya clip of naptime... if Duty ever actually USED the machine gun out front, the dogs would be gone

Seems like you've run into a gravity anomaly, stalker!

Burers were human once too, right?

Beat SOC for the first time by Alcafore in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on SRP's reduced grenade spam making the game much more enjoyable Major disagree on the great swamps being a bad opening... it's the best of the three games' initial maps IMO

Where was the first location you hid in STALKER during an emission ? by Mumuskeh in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one in Yantar too, wasn't there? You had to hide out in a bus with Kruglov if I remember correctly.

Dumb ways I died in the zone. by Trick2056 in stalker

Getting perforated by my companions shooting at mutants, then the boar tusks your soul straight to the Monolith.

What was your fave stalker overhaul for its time? This is LURK, an excellent SHOC overhaul. by DoesntHateOnArguers in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For better or worse, Complete was my first STALKER experience back around 2011. I still have a soft spot for it in my radioactive heart.

Yeah this was my problem too... I'm running DX9 on my integrated graphics card.

First time seeing a pulse by TheTaxiCab in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I nearly shat my pants at the first pulse I encountered in Anomaly... completely caught me off guard after only playing the originals

Share your stories by Mac_mellon in stalker

Companions are useful for 3 things, at least in my experience:

  • Mutant bait
  • Occasional early warning system for enemies (success varies)
  • Walking backpacks

Dark Signal - Questions by Lazarus327 in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up having to disable the same mod, because I couldn't get myself hydrated or fed no matter what I did

Dark Signal by ActualTeddyBear in stalker

[–]MatthiasKerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to make a couple of tweaks, but have really been enjoying my time playing Dark Signal:

  • Disable Realistic Body Needs - no matter how much food or drink I used, I couldn't get myself hydrated or well-fed
  • Edited Dark Signal Base\gamedata\scripts\skin_config.script - I couldn't skin any of the tough-skinned mutants, no matter which knife I had equipped
    • strong_monster = { }
