A guest May 27th, 2018 1,174 Never

For NPCs - 0.5, for mutants - 1.

NPCs to be escorted stand still.

Load an early save and use only the point command to move to.

The NPC who needs to turn in the quest doesn't want to talk.

Loading the last save and quickly pressing the keys "Use" ("F" by default) and "Task completed" ("1") in quick succession. Try to go to another location and return; wait until the NPC becomes the leader of the squad in a natural (or artificial, by secretly killing the leader) way.

The task to destroy the lair of mutants is not completed, although it is cleared.

Most likely, one of the mutants escaped from the point, he will be marked on the map as "Unknown Enemy". Usually rats and jerboas do this. It is possible that mutants do not appear at night, that is, it is necessary to go to the point during the day.

An NPC from a neutral/friendly faction is hostile. When you try to kill him, the whole group becomes hostile.

There are several options: 1) use improvised explosive devices or mines, or exploding gas barrels/cylinders; 2) take the hostile character to the mutants or groups hostile to him, if any are present at the location.

The character instantly dies after loading the save.

It is not recommended to save before ejection or during ejection. As an option - temporarily enable immortality. To do this, start the game in debug mode (add -dbg to the game shortcut), then write g_god 1 in the game itself in the console. To turn off immortality - g_god 0. Often this happens due to changes in the weather / events settings when you are in game mode. Also, as an option, you can delete user and tmp in the appdata folder and load the save that preceded the ejection or psi-storm.

The hostage ended up in the area between the locations.

Throw a smoke grenade at it or enter the demo_record 1 console command in debug mode, fly up to it and press the "Enter" key.

How to cancel a task?

Wait for the quest to complete on its own (in the case of assassination quests, the target can sometimes die of natural causes) or kill the employer. It is best to always save before taking on such quests to avoid such inconvenience.

Important NPCs do not give new tasks.

New tasks appear in a few days.

The Hidden Object Quest is not running.

NPCs only take items with the full number of uses. In the case of weapon quests, read carefully, the NPC asks for exactly the weapon that is written about (the “worn out” and “upgraded” states are considered different weapons). Nimble and St. John's Wort require weapons in excellent condition.

Where to find tools?

In caches (random location in each new game). If the cache is marked with a green label, then the chances are significantly higher. Also, one complete set of tools is hidden in three locations. The forester in the Red Forest makes improvements without tools, but at a high cost.

Does the game have the Clear Sky science suit and exoskeleton, as well as the Ecologists exoskeleton?

Too many/not enough creatures in the game.

Change the spawn rates in the game settings, restart the game and visit the location again.

How to change the name of the character during the game?

The command in the console is run_string alife():actor():set_character_name("Name").

NPCs died at the checkpoint/base. Will others take their place?

Yes, but it will take a few in-game days.

Why is the effect of the controller / psi-field / radiation exposure not visible when the night vision device is on?

The game mechanics does not allow multiple effects to be displayed at the same time.

In dynamic messages, they periodically write that "A stalker named nil was seen there."

Bug, when moving to another location in most cases disappears.

When trying to improve armor and weapons, the inscription appears: "Technician needs additional information."

Bring tools to the technician on assignment.

Is there an artifact "Heart of the Oasis" in the game?

What costumes can be upgraded to five artifact slots?

Only body armor ChN-2.

Is the fight in the Arena against the Beast the last one?

Why are there few stalkers in the northern locations?

It is necessary to turn off the psi-installations in the laboratories X-10 and X-16.

Are there guides in the game?

Where to buy/find "Product No. 62" (aka Gauss rifle) and cartridges for it?

Can't be bought. You can find it at the Monoliths. Shooting batteries are very rare in caches.

How to get the Svarog detector?

This detector is sold exclusively by Herman in the scientists' bunker and only with a friendly reputation with the Ecologists group.

How to get to the Forester if spatial anomalies do not work?

Straight through the forest. You can secure the route if you go along the road to the bridge. Behind the checkpoint near the bridge there is another gate to the territory of the former reserve.

Blurred in the eyes, health is taken away, but there is no bleeding / radiation exposure.

If the need for sleep is enabled in the game settings, then let the character sleep.

How to interrogate the wounded?

With some probability, the wounded man will kneel and put his hands behind his head, then you can talk to him. Wounded fanatics explode in the glory of their idol, just to avoid being captured.

Too much time and ammo goes into jerboas.

Just like rats, they can be kicked by pressing the "Use" key ("F" by default).

Will items disappear if left in a random drawer?

No, not even if the NPCs give a tip on this stash.

Where did the personal cache go?

How to turn on "Mystery Zone"?

When starting a new game, enable "Story Mode".

How to get to the Military Lab?

“Story mode” must be turned on, all plot documents have been collected, a decoder from an apartment in Pripyat has been found. The code for the main door of the laboratory is 26041986.

Why are several knives and a hunting set implemented?

The stronger the mutant, the better the knife needed to cut it. The hunting set gives a higher chance of dropping mutant parts.

Can you cook meat on a fire?

You can't, but there are other options.

Where to look for the Swamp Doctor?

At the Clear Sky base, at the tower northwest of the base or in the cave under the destroyed bridge in the northwest of the Swamps, sometimes he just walks around the surroundings of the Swamps.

Can't find artifacts.

They appear after the release, other stalkers also collect them.

How does the psi-helmet work?

Clone phantoms that appear from living mutants disappear with the helmet. Also, the helmet saves from psi-impact in the laboratory. Works while in inventory.

The character runs out of breath very quickly, even when walking.

You can use titanium mesh - expensive, but effective. In the future, having accumulated wealth, you can use Epiniphrine. As a last resort, you can tweak the walk_weight_power parameter in the gamedata\configs\creatures\actor.ltx file. Change 0.0044 to 0.0039–0.0041, these coefficients allow you to move smoothly in steps without overload (edit with Notepad ++).

How is the universal charger used?

Its status shows the current amount of energy that is spent on some items:

1. PDA. Extremely low power consumption.

2. Headlamp. Small power consumption.

3. Detectors. Power consumption depends on the type of detector - from low to high.

4. Application modules of artifacts. Extremely low power consumption.

5. Night vision device. Average power consumption.

If the charge runs out, it will not be possible to use the above devices.

Why is it impossible to invite stalkers to join the squad?

You need to have a “Friend” relationship with them. Perform secondary tasks, help the wounded, increase reputation.

Who can sell junk and weapons in poor condition?

Rubbish - Skryaga, Sidorovich, Maslina, Ashot and stalkers. Broken weapons cannot be sold.

Where did the cache disappear if it is not in the place where the mark in the PDA is?

So the cache is hidden underground.

Is there a way to open closed doors?

Bug - go to the door at close range and throw weapons into its hinges until it opens.

Why are there no costumes like Seva and an exoskeleton on sale?

Each group has missions. Completing these quests will earn you 50 Faction Attitude Points each. When "Attitude" exceeds 400, "Seva" and "Group Heavy Suit" will be available for sale at the main merchant of the group. If the ratio is greater than 800, an exoskeleton appears. For each failed mission, 25 "Relationship Points" are deducted from the employer faction.

Where is Swift? Is it possible to order weapons from him?

At Kordon's farm. You can not order, but you can immediately buy some unique samples.

Health itself does not regenerate! First aid kits are extremely expensive!

Doctors and scientists have significantly lower prices for medicines. In addition, doctors themselves, for a reasonable price, can completely cure or remove radiation. If you are lucky to find the Swamp Doctor, he will improve his health for free.

What is the reason for the appearance of only broken weapons in caches and with stalkers without the slightest chance of weapons appearing in perfect condition?

The chance of a weapon spawning in perfect condition is impossible for two reasons:

1. If you put the closest to the minimum chance of appearance - the circulation of weapons is such that even with such a chance a lot of weapons in excellent condition will fall out.

2. If you set the minimum chance of appearance - a weapon in good condition will never fall out.

It is impossible to find a golden mean.

What is the reason for such a spawn of mutants?

There are two options:

1. Spawn of mutants near the player immediately after loading the save.

2. Spawn of mutants dangerously close to the player.

For gameplay and the hard save option, the second option is chosen, it doesn't feel as painful as the first one.

How to enable spawner?

In the properties of the game shortcut, add -dbg to the path. Example: "D:\Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Misery\Call of Misery.exe" -skip_reg -dbg, press the "S" key in the game menu.

How to set up head bob?

In the user.ltx file, use Notepad++ to edit the lines:

1. cam_slide_inert 0.25

   Where is the save folder located?

   appdata\savedgames

   How to take screenshots and where are they stored?

   On the "F12" key, stored in appdata\screenshots

   Why does the headlamp shine so narrowly?

   You can change the setting yourself. To do this, open gamedata\configs\models\objects\light_night.ltx with Notepad++ and replace spot_angle = 35 with 75.

   Is there a modification for using 4 GB of RAM and using multiple processor cores?

   The engine is patched for memory usage and can work in multiple cores and threads.

To begin with, it is worth saying that the blog is designed for adequate people who simply could not adapt to the realities of the modification, and not for haters who are simply unhappy with the popularity of the mod. Maybe this memo will help change the minds of some people who could not understand what was required of them, and therefore the modification left a negative impression on these people.

In general, it was worth it - I would also say that I also did not particularly like hardcore. Somehow Misery passed and forgot about hardcore as a nightmare. I didn't like being stressed out either. All these new gameplay features and new things seemed to me unnecessary for the game at that time, and when I found out about NLC, I was generally horrified. Then I came to the conclusion that hardcore is just unnecessary gaming conventions that only strain. At some point, I fell in love with the complexity, again playing in my previously unloved Misery. I began to perceive it as an adventure, as a challenge. I began to miss the three locations of the RFP, and I joined those who were waiting for this modification even before it was released (version 0.9). The first version comes out: With a bunch of bugs, crashes, flaws, holes in the balance - but it was really something new. Call Of Chernobyl, along with Misery, is played in a completely different way, with completely different colors. Gradually adapting, understanding the balance, I took a completely new look at hardcore: “Hardcore is interesting. You just need to figure it out, then you start to get real pleasure from all these difficulties, ”I thought then.

So, with a long and uninteresting background is over, let's move on to the fashion itself. When you have already downloaded the mod and want to start a new game, you will be prompted to select a grouping. The choice of grouping will directly affect the degree of hardcore, due to the relationship between them. For a beginner, "Environmentalists", "Stalkers" and "Clear Sky" are suitable. Why these particular groups?

Clear Sky: Probably the easiest grouping to start. Start on the basis of ChN. The area around is rich in anomalous places, mostly bandits roam around, the military rarely drop by. Of the mutants, the maximum of whom you can meet in most cases are snorks and bloodsuckers. Although this is a zone, you can’t be one hundred percent sure of anything here ... There is a medic, a merchant, and a bartender at the base. The last two always have a job, plus you can work for local stalkers. You won’t spend much on medicines, since there is a doctor (IMPORTANT: Medics have much lower prices for medicines than other merchants) and the Swamp Doctor will always help. After the first earnings, spend money on a gas mask, a bear detector and an art container (you can take 2 containers). The next purchase is more advanced equipment, which we will talk about separately later. When all the quests are completed, you can go for a walk in the swamps, look for art and shoot animals with gopniks. When you get comfortable, you can sometimes go to Agroprom and Kordon. Thus, when there is nothing to do at all, go to bed and sleep for several days in a row until messages about working for merchants begin to arrive on the network. Thus, by completing quests and doing raids, you will save up for both a suit and a normal weapon.

Ecologists: The ease of playing for them lies in the fact that they have a lot of friends, including the military with mercenaries. Thus, you can take a lot of neutral quests (which do not harm other factions), for the completion of which you will receive some kind of reward. Start on Yantar. The place is so-so - just one accessible anomaly, a sea of ​​zombies and dangerous mutants, so we do everything we can do there (a walk with the collection of valuable loot, which will be discussed later), and with a clear conscience we go to Agroprom. There are anomalies at Agroprom, and a military base with a medic and a merchant. We save up for a gas mask, a detector and containers, we go for a walk through the anomalies. When there is absolutely nothing to do at Agroprom, then we go to the swamps, there are again anomalies and work for the locals, then the same cordon. Then we go through the landfill (the main thing is not to get involved in skirmishes with gopniks, there are a lot of them) to the bar. In the bar we go to the arena, we completely go through and already bathe in shekels, for which we buy ourselves normal equipment.

Stalkers: Balance relations with factions, there are both friends and enemies. Start on Cordon. We take all the quests from Sidor and the Wolf, if it is convenient - quests from no-name stalkers, we go to complete them. It is advisable to clean up the ATP from criminals, because this is both loot and goodies on the second floor in one of the buildings. When everything is done, we go to the Swamps. There is a standard scheme of tasks, anomalies and hunting. We are saving up for a bear, a gas mask and containers, and we are starting to get art. Then, when we have already risen a little, we go to the bar. In the bar, we immediately make our way to the arena, where we go through all the fights and enrich ourselves.

I think you understand what connects these 3 groups - the ability to make money relatively quickly. After completing the first stage, the second stage begins, when you already have a suit, a normal bag, and a supply of experience. Let's take a closer look at the first two aspects:

Costume: Everything here directly depends on the amount of cash in your pocket, but still, I advise you to endure for a while and buy a really good suit that will be your faithful friend until you buy an Exa or Seva, or even until the end of the game. Among the most accessible and good samples are:
1) Wind of Freedom: Its main advantage is the possibility of pumping, good performance, relative accessibility. After certain upgrades, it weighs only 5 kilograms, and we can carry an additional 2 kilograms. This, coupled with the special nets that you will need to purchase in the future, will allow you to be very mobile on the battlefield, always being able to retreat and outflank your opponent without being heavily overloaded. In 70% of cases, it holds a 5x56 bullet without opening bleeding. With protection against mutants, everything is a little worse - it will certainly protect you from a couple of three blows with the monster's clawed paw, but no more. It is desirable to complete with a "Barrier" helmet for better anomalous and radiation protection.
2) Jumpsuit from the "CHN" series: There are several models, but I advise you to take the most perfect one. Very good protection against both bullets and mutants, good protection against anomalies. The disadvantage is that it weighs 15 kilos, which does not allow you to move quickly. Treated with upgrades. Helmet, again - the same, "Barrier".
Later Exa or Seva. Well, here who needs what, to be a tank or climb anomalies (although Seva is such a self in this fashion).

Weapon: It's a matter of taste. To whom is a machine gun, to whom is a shotgun. A sniper will make life much easier on the upper levels, and with a machine gun you won’t even have to run from anyone. In short, take what you need, just consider spending money on ammunition, which is quite expensive, but more on the economy below.

Economics: One of the main reasons why some people quit mods. Prices are crazy, merchants do not buy everything, a loaf costs like a jellyfish. Some already because of this economy began to equate NLC7 and Call Of Misery, although this is fundamentally not true. In NLC there are more conventions than realism, and in CoM the situation is more opposite (although there are also enough conventions, but they are much less than in the aforementioned NLC) The main complaints are that merchants do not buy everything, 90 rounds cost more than 12 thousand , and the jellyfish stands like a loaf of bread.

It is worth starting to analyze this aspect with the fact that you need a base. Yes, no matter how trite and obvious it may sound, many perceive the base simply as a place where you can buy or sell something, although this is a little not true. For the base, of course, the bar is best suited first. An abundance of stalkers, and therefore work, a convenient location, not far from one of the 3 merchants who buys everything in general. Yes - yes, there are merchants in CoM who will buy everything from you. Namely Maslina (Dark Valley, base of criminals), Skryaga (Freedom base) and Sidorovich. These merchants can carry everything (except broken weapons), they will buy it. Or you can sell things that most merchants do not need to ordinary stalkers, albeit for next to nothing. In the bar, in addition to the personal box, you need to start a stash near the transition to the warehouses, where you will carry unnecessary garbage from the walker, which other merchants refuse to buy. When there is a lot of garbage in the stash, you hand it over to the Curmudgeon, and so on all the time. It is worth remembering that this is not the main, but an additional source of income. You will have the main income from artifacts, cartridges, mutant parts and unnecessary medicines. It is worth seeing what, in addition to cartridges and art with parts, Petrenko and Bartender buy, and hand over this loot to them. You will give the technician in the bar all the tools you find that are needed for upgrades. Arranging a point on the Military is also a good option: there is a variety of rare living creatures for which you can get a good profit, and anomalies, and monoliths from which a lot of tasty things fall, and the Red Forest is nearby, where you can also make raids. In short, it's up to you.

Cartridges in walkers take the most necessary minimum. If you have two barrels, then the cost of ammunition at a time should not exceed 20 thousand, if one barrel - no more than 10 thousand. The exception is a walker to the laboratory, there you can take more, because the cartridges go there very quickly.

To open a new assortment from merchants, you need to complete the quests of this very merchant, or the tasks of members of his group. Thus, by accumulating reputation, you will open a new weapon with overalls, and over time, Seva along with an exoskeleton.

Always keep your weapons and equipment in good condition, because buying a new suit or machine gun your budget (especially at the beginning of the game) may not be able to withstand, and you will be left hungry and out of ammo, but in a new jacket.

About animals: Hunting them is quite profitable, but requires preparation. You will need a good weapon, 2 knives (one for small game, the second for big game), a hunter's kit and special preparations that protect your body from psi - the effects of certain mutants. I would not say that this is an absolutely necessary reserve for hunting, because you can always go shooting dogs from a rusty Makarov and without any kits, but when you start hunting and understand how profitable it is, it is already difficult to stop, and you will inevitably buy everything these pribludy for even more earnings.

Artifacts: In the south of the Zone, there are only the cheapest, at the price of a loaf of bread from Sidorovich, so they begin to bring real income only in cases where they:
A) A lot, and you went to collect them immediately after the release.
B) Artifacts closer to the center of the zone, more expensive. You need a good detector.

Actually, you already know the very basics, and you will never be at a loss what to do if you just started playing Call Of Misery, and you don’t know what to do at all. I hope that people who didn't like Call Of Misery and didn't play it properly will be able to adapt and this mod will start to bring them real pleasure.

Thank you for your attention!

We've all heard about the successful hardcore mod for Call of Pripyat, Misery, which takes the hard-hitting danger zone feel to the extreme. We also know about the excellent freeplay modification "Call of Chernobyl", which combined all the locations into one and absorbed the best of the three parts of the original "Stalker". The Call of Misery mod is a symbiosis or fusion of two successful Call of Pripyat mods: Misery and Call of Chernobyl. We get that very dying zone in gray-brown tones, dangerous and unpredictable, where mutants are strong, and our hero is weak and defenseless, where radiation kills in seconds, and loot costs a penny ... But we have an incredible freedom to explore the world of the zone - dozens of locations , hundreds of hiding places, many quests and thousands of opportunities to survive in this hostile environment.

Features of the "Call of Misery" mod:

• Stylish "Misery" style graphics - the fading zone is great.
• Great selection of weapons and outfits.
• A lot of items and things that enrich the economy of the game.
• New artifacts and containers to store them.
• We can cook our own food from mutant parts.
• Many devices require batteries or accumulators.
• Special equipment to help survive in the zone.
• Expanded system of repair and upgrades.
• Special effects of injuries and the use of medications.
• Hardcore survival mode, typical for "Misery".
• Dozens of locations, huge freedom for research.
• Several unique game modes.
• Many minor gameplay tweaks.

If you love fierce survival in a hellish environment, then this mod is for you! For beginners, this mod may seem overly difficult to complete.

Added a small health bonus to all clean and high quality food and drink (depends on class)
All classes are slightly more resistant to bullet damage;
All classes must eat more to be fully satiated, as well as gain a stamina bonus from being satiated;
Weight and stamina have been adjusted across all classes (meaning stamina depletes slightly more slowly)
NPC vision range set to 250 meters;
NPCs see much worse at night;
All costumes now have a disguise effect (not just Ghillie)
Aspects of Stealth (stealth) are strengthened;
: Camouflaged weapons and helmets provide a bonus to stealth (in addition to costumes);
: Heavy rifles and shiny firearms (silver/gold) reduce stealth percentage.

Optimization and fixes

Several big and small bugs fixed (still working on all the rest);
RAM optimization;
CPU and memory optimization by 4-9%;
Quest in the Kindergarten: the corpses of scouts remain until you pick up the explosives;

The late game should be greatly improved with a new script that clears all unused units on other maps (thanks to kcs);
Weather no longer changes abruptly after loading a save (thanks to kcs)
The game should no longer crash when opening a refrigerator with a soldier in Kindergarten (thanks to kcs);

And many other changes in this regard ...

User interface

Now the start date of the game will be 2015;
Implemented real Ukrainian names;
Displayed number of cooked mutant parts;
All UI is now more sensitive to player actions;
All UIs have received a bonus to stealth, such as hints;
And other updates...

Visual changes

Fixed BumpMap for OTs-33 TT33;
Added missing bumpmaps for Colt 1911 and SVU
Optimization of dds, mipmap and bumpmaps format textures (reduced texture size by 32 mb);
Fixed icon_equipment.dds (background cleaning, SVU specific);
Optimization for all consumables and prop textures;
Optimization for some weapon textures;
Reduced texture data size by 55mb;

Balance

Medic and bartenders now also sell partially depleted consumables and drugs;
The bartender sells the things he specializes in for less than the weapons supplier;
Most mutants are slightly less resistant to damage;

Enabled spawning of civilian zombies (from the original game);
Tremor has 33% less medical supplies to sell to reduce the cost of loot that can be obtained after his suicide;
Increased spawn units of stalkers (various factions) by 33%;
Participation in a shootout on Shevchenko or in a deal on the Forestry for one side, reacts to the spawn of friends / enemies;
Now it's easier to become friends with stalkers/bandits (very big changes in this thread);

Units of factions that are neutral to you can travel all over the map, while hostile units are limited to the zone of their faction (with the exception of elite units, which can still be found outside the territory of the enemy);
If the GG is neutral with the bandits, the mercenaries are also neutral. These units are allowed to visit Skadovsk and Yanov, thus these camps will be more filled in terms of NPCs.
Units can have a goal in the form of "attack a certain place", which can be a camp / permanent base of an enemy faction or other dangerous place.

Gear and equipment

Armor is now more effective against mutant attacks by 25%-33%;
Armor degrades from 1.33x (light armor) to 2x (heavy armor) faster from mutant attacks;
