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, "Ecologists", "Stalkers" and " Clear sky". 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:

Suit: 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 jumpsuit 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 buy in the future, will allow you to be very mobile on the battlefield, always being able to retreat and get around the enemy without a heavy overload. 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 in a row, 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, the base of criminals), Skryaga (the base of Freedom) 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 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 good weapon, 2 knives (one for small game, one for big game), a hunter's set and special preparations that protect your body from the psi - 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!

Name: Call of Misery: xMod

Platform: Call of Chernobyl

Description:

The mod is aimed at creating gameplay in the style of maximum realism. Installed strictly on top of Arsenal Overhaul 1.1.2.

Contains the following modules:

Advanced Mutant Looting

Description:

1. The interface for butchering mutants (in the original, it is generally useless and not needed) now allows (more precisely, obliges) to select only one part of the mutant, which is cut, but the rest remain on the carcass, they can still be cut. Plus, you can activate the cut by double-clicking on the desired part or exit the menu with the ESC button without cutting anything.

2. The chance of skins falling out (in the original it is quite small for everything) - 70%, meat - 80%, other parts, the most expensive and lightest - 90%. Not 100% just because there is a chance of damaging part of the mutant when killing him.

3. The hunting set and the "Mutant Hunter" achievement increase the butchering speed by 2 times each (if you have both - by 4 times). To achieve "Mutant Hunter" you need to kill 500 mutants or cut 1000 parts.

4. Time of "decomposition" of a mutant corpse - 3 game hours, instead of 45 minutes in the original.

5. An advanced hunting knife blunts to zero in 200 cut pieces.

Covered with a copper basin chip in your car key? Do not want to contact different offices in order to fix it? If you own a soldering iron and beginner soldering experience, just buy a 4D 60G chip if your car is 2010 or younger and solder it!

Arranged Artifacts Properties

Description:

The mod removes the terrible "blur" of the properties of artifacts, when each artifact has almost all the properties with a "+" or "-" sign. As a result, it turned out that it was not clear that most of the artifacts in practice turned out to be useless for wearing on a belt. Yes, the combination of the positive properties of artifacts with negative ones looks interesting with game point vision, but its implementation is absolutely illogical: if an artifact has protective properties relative to the thermal anomaly with which it was created, why on earth does it reduce protection against electrical and psi anomalies, to which it has nothing to do? Why not chemical?

The properties of artifacts have been brought into strict dependence on the type of parent anomaly: each artifact protects against the type of anomalous activity that created it, and only from it. There are also special properties for each class:

1. Electrical Anomaly Artifacts - increased stamina.

2. Artifacts of a chemical anomaly - restoring health.

3. Artifacts of thermal anomaly - wound healing.

4. Artifacts of the gravitational anomaly - increase in the maximum carry weight.

Fixed radiation emission for several artifacts so that they all fit into the concept of three levels of "coolness" of artifacts, which is expressed in the strength of the effect, the price and the minimum container advancement required to neutralize the radiation.

Killed the description of the most expensive container for artifacts, PMA: "It has a very low weight." 4.63 kg. When an ordinary lead container has 5.48 kg. The difference is less than a kilogram, indeed, "This is a symbol of wealth in the Zone." Therefore, the weight of all artifacts and containers has been rebalanced - artifacts are much lighter, containers weigh:

SIMK - 4 kg

SPM - 3 kg

PCA - 2 kg

PMA - 1 kg

All items placed on the belt no longer provide an increase in maximum weight due to its own weight.

Arranged Weaponry and Armory

Description:

Tidying up the damage of all Arsenal Overhaul ballistic weapons: a strict dependence of damage on the caliber, muzzle velocity and ballistic characteristics of the bullet, the damage of all weapons is calculated according to one formula. Gauss and binoculars have been upgraded to the lifeform detector. Removed all upgrades to change the caliber, because they break the system. Weapons have damage listed in their description.

Vulnerability to NPC and GG bullets is made the same and increased. For NPCs, the "EXTREME BLEEDING-BASED" damage system was returned (which Rainford for some reason cut / did not transfer from the original Misery), without which the penetration of NPC armor essentially did not work (when it still works for the GG anyway).

The armor protection classes of all suits have been redesigned, made in accordance with GOST "R 50744-95" of 2014. 6 armor classes, 6th - exoskeleton, only Gaussian can penetrate. With any suit and helmet, upgrades can raise the armor class by one level.

All upgrades of all weapons and armor can be installed simultaneously and without tools (I will never believe that throughout the Zone, not a single technician has ever done upgrades to anyone, until it was GG who brought him some magic tools, which he also found in some stump in the swamp, it's too wild). But the tools are still useful, for the delivery of each set of technicians they will give a 5% discount on maintenance (by the way, it has also been fixed, in the original there is some kind of mess with technicians' discounts), which is quite worth it, because the upgrades themselves are quite expensive. If you do not need the ability to upgrade without tools - do not install the folder "gamedata/configs/misc/upgrade_infos".

Reduced muzzle velocity penalty from silencers. The silencer will not cut 30% of the bullet speed.

Inventory Radiation Expanded

Description:

If something in the GG's inventory emits radiation, then all commodities (food, drinks, medicines) lying there are irradiated. Upon reaching a certain exposure threshold, they become irradiated, when consumed, they infect GG with radiation and cannot be traded.

On the other hand, suits and helmets now protect the health of the GG (not food in the backpack) from the radiation of artifacts in the inventory, but helmets do this only at 25% of their "Radio protection" parameter. The stock "Seva" can completely neutralize the radiation of 3 "Goldfish" or 11 "Jellyfish" in the inventory. Artifacts on the belt still give the full dose of their radiation.

Smart Artifact Spawn

Description:

The mod changes the artifact spawning system towards realism. List of changes:

1. After being dropped, artifacts will respawn throughout the Zone, not just at the player's location. Before respawning in anomalies, all previously uncollected artifacts are first destroyed.

2. After every hour of playing time in each anomaly (again, throughout the Zone), with some chance, all artifacts can be despawned - a simulation of the fact that they are collected by other stalkers. Yes, stalkers collect artifacts anyway, but not always. The chance of despawning at night (22:00-6:00) is five times less than during the day.

3. The chance of respawning an artifact in an anomaly is 100%.

4. The further north the location - the greater the chance of spawning expensive artifacts and the less chance of spawning cheap ones. In the limit - on the generators you can find only the most expensive artifacts in their class.

5. For each anomaly, its own time is set, during which, on average, its artifacts are despawned. The closer the anomaly is located to the places of accumulation of stalkers, the shorter this time is, and vice versa.

6. Integrated and fixed the mod for dynamic news about the release (now it correctly indicates the time before the release, the frequency of messages is reduced).

7. The frequency of emissions is strictly fixed (regardless of what is set in the weather settings) - on average once every three days.

8. Disabled forced spawning of certain artifacts when taking the quest to search for artifacts from Beard.

It also brings the following changes:

Character parameters have been changed. The carry weight and fatigue parameters will be drastically rebalanced, this moment only a real weight limit of 35 kg (suits do not count, they compensate for their weight by adding to the maximum).

Slightly increased the visibility distance of the bloodsucker.

Reduced the survivability of the pseudo-dog (which was comparable to the survivability of the boar) and reduced the damage.

Significantly reduced Psi Dog Phantom damage.

All quest items can be removed from the inventory, because they are not glued.

Reworked trade:

The types of merchants are strictly divided into classes: general - weapons, equipment, armor, items (garbage, repair kits, etc.), devices; bartender - artifacts, parts of mutants, food; physician - medicines; ecologist - artifacts, parts of mutants except meat. The merchant does not buy or sell goods that are not of their category. At the bases where there is no any class of a merchant, his assortment combines the one that is (that is, Sidorovich, for example, is a general, and a bartender, and a medic).

Merchants do not buy used items. At all. Not all items in general, but those that, when used, greatly lose their presentation (for example, cartridges, unopened repair kits and medicines are still bought).

Nearly all items that are in perfect condition can be traded with NPCs. Moreover, trading takes place in a 1:1 format, the player buys goods for 100% of the cost and sells for 100%, because trading takes place on an equal footing, both are just stalkers.

Ecologists do not sell almost anything, it's not good, they should do their job, and not make a profit.

Significantly increased the amount of money from NPCs depending on the rank, so that at least veterans can buy at least something expensive from the player.

Reduced energy consumption by 4 times (temporary measure, it is planned to rebalance the energy system).

In the initial equipment of the stalker there is a "Response" detector. It's still a stalker. He collects artifacts.

For worse, the indicator of cartridges was removed, only the indicator of the fire mode remained.

Starting a rework of stuffing NPCs with items. So far the following edits:

The realistic condition of NPC weapons and items, depending on the faction and rank, is set immediately, and not after death.

More ammo for NPCs.

Enabled and changed lootmoney.

Increased the chance of NPCs owning consumables.

NPC items are given immediately, not upon death.

Added a debug autosave option that can be disabled: during the game, every minute of real time (it is possible to increase the interval up to 7 minutes) automatically saves in case of a crash.

A switchable system for limiting and automating saves has been implemented:

Random saving of the game (via the pause menu) is blocked.

A special artifact has been added for game saves. Issued at the start of the game with a full charge. The maximum charge is 7 units. Each save consumes one charge. If the entire charge is used up, the artifact will disappear. The charge is restored by itself, one unit per 13 game hours.

After loading a save made with an artifact, it is deleted. If there is a charge left, then this save is immediately automatically recreated.

When you exit the game, an autosave also occurs, which is then loaded when you return to the game.

Loading a save deletes all saves made after it. When you enter the game, you can only load the last save.

If the artifact is not in the inventory, then you cannot load its saves.

If the artifact is not in the inventory at death, then all saves made by it are deleted.

Enabled a-life simulation throughout the Zone.

To start new game only southern cordon locations and Yantar for the ecologist are available.
