Can somebody list good mods for me to get for S.T.A.L.K.E.R?
I played it before, probably about 20 hours worth . . . but I lost the save somehow. Plus I haven't played it in a long time.

I played it without mods last time . . . so I have no idea which mods to get.

Oh, anyway, last thing I remember doing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was going through X18, I think? It was around when you first encounter that monster that makes your vision all messed up and you get a "WTF!" death.
I kind of dread having to go through the beginning though . . . it has such a slow start. =[

I actually jsut finsihed it today. I picked it up again after upgrading, plus teh end level was a bitch for me the first time..

Anywho, the mods have thus far are:

No time limit on Quests.

Extended flashlight range.

Better blood.

Better skies.

MP5 in pistol slot.

Weight capacity increase 50 to 70.

Real-Life map JPEG

Parallax Mapping v2

Improved sky color.

Weather overhaul.

Sharper Textures.

Darker Nights.

High-end preset

The only ones that really have an effect on gameplay is teh weight capacity mod and the darker nights make it a bit harder.

I found them all at Stalker Files, the filefront page.

The Parallax mapping + Sharper textures made quite the differnce in the look. IF you ahve any mods that contain a "system.ltx" fiel, be sure to make it compatible with teh latest 1.005 patch by openign that .ltx file, find "current_server_entity_version = X" and change X to 7.

Mikeh, are those the exact names of the mods for Stalker? I know I'm asking a lot with this, but could you link all of them? :(

Wow, I didn't realize I was bumping such an old thread. Sorry. :P

Anyway, I am having problems with modding S.T.A.L.K.E.R; it usually crashes after a minute of playing. XR_3DA.exe gets a huge memory leak, goes over 1 million!

I am running Vista with all the updates and an running a beta version of nVidia drivers for my 8800GTX.
I am using a no-DVD XR_3DA, might that be it? I tried using the normal one and it is giving a weird error:

"Entry Point Not Found"

The procedure entry point
??0scope@luabind@@QAE@V?$auto_ptr@Uregistration@detail@luabind@@@std@@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library
xrLUA.dll.


I forgot to Google it before . . . I'll do that tomorrow after work. I just provided it to let you know the error I get.

Heh sorry no i'm too lazy for that...

But i found them all at "Stalker Files", and most of the names i mentioned are pretty much what the mods are called. I left out modders and/or version nubmers.

The capacity mod i did manually, but used a pre-made mod for reference.

I also used teh high-end preset mod for a starting point for custom graphics options... check out tweakgueidse.com for a slick, detailed guide.


Damn I cun't wait for Clear Sky.

I'm intended to load up STALKER again, so I'll give these mods a crack... provided I can actually be bothered to hunt them down and install them. :lol:

Clear Sky is just the prequel to be released soon, right? Anything interesting with it?

Was supposed to be released at the end of this month but considering they still haven't "Confirmed" that it is 98% likely the date has been pushed back by several months.

Hey as long as it doesn't take another 5 frickin' years I can wait for a bit longer...

PS all thsoe mods are easily found, jsut remember that if any have a "system.ltx" fiel that you'll have to change a line depending on your game version, as i previously posted.
