EFT Medic Item Overhaul for Anomaly 1.5.1 addon

Many people on the EFP Server have received these sorts of errors. After extensive testing we found that the most reliable solution is actually to increase GPU load. I realize that sounds strange but let me attempt to explain:

This "driver suspended" error seems to trigger when the GPU isn't taxed hard enough. The explanation we found is that the game's Xray engine at times places heavy load on your CPU, and for some reason when CPU load spikes without GPU load increasing, your GPU drivers reset. So the "fix" is to increase GPU load so that the shift in CPU load doesn't exceed whatever threshold that causes the drivers to crash.

Bottom line: increase graphical settings such as grass etc. to raise GPU load, and lower population settings to reduce CPU utilization spikes. I know, it's strange as hell, but it seems to work.

its alright just pointing it out. no offence intended.

Thanks, look forward to it.

No, you misunderstood that part; We're against having "compatibility patches", for other mods, in our own mods, but if people want to make patches for our mods and put them in their mods, that's perfectly fine.

It's to avoid "maintenance" of something we don't own, after all SidHUD and VoDis get quite the major updates, even now.
I never expected them to get this big, Blackgrowl should relax.

I mean aren't the lines that don't start with -- actually read? Because --grab mag and everything under it is missing. If it was just for notes, wouldn't all the lines start with --? Just making sure I understand how it works. Thanks.

Yeah, I agree. I would like to keep the hd icons I have for other weapons, ammo and Items. However, if there is a mod that uses hd models for all then I would get that.

use paint.net open your own inv icons and the one from 01.Vanilla, copy EFT med icons, paste in your hd icons, save, move your hd icons below 01.vanilla in Mod Organiser

Thanks, I did just that and it all seems to work. However, I noticed that the EFT medic items don't align properly in the game. I see other EFT medic items cropped off in the corner or sometimes the item itself is not showing. I'm sorry, I'm kind of new to this.

Gimp has grid setting that helps immensely.

Are you talking about how the caffeine tablets no longer buff your carry capacity? Yeah I looked at the code in " items_drugs.ltx " and the Carry capacity buff was removed and so the tablets are really only useful for decreasing your drowsiness.

Some people may want certain things from Vanilla while using the medical items from EFT-MIO. If you give me permission, I will make patches and post them in case anyone wants them.

Thank you very much! Now I need to learn how to add new items to the game.

(3/10/2021) Edit: IT WORKED! I was able to add the "Scientific Medkit" from vanilla Anomaly into a copy of EFT-MIO and it Worked on the first attempt!

I only have basic modding skills so I had to make assumptions about the way things worked but now I know it's possible to add vanilla items to EFT-MIO with my basic modding skills.

All I had to do was copy the vanilla description data and the Medical item data for the Scientific Medkit and paste it into the same files in EFT-MIO. Then I just needed to rename some things and add the scientific Medkit as an entry in the New game Loadouts file and see if things worked. AND IT WORKED!

I am so happy that the Scientific Medkit icon (And probably all vanilla medical item icons) are still available for the renamed scientific medkit to point to and use!

The next step will be to link the Food, Drugs and Drinks Animations with the new Scientific Medkit. After that, I'll attempt to add some more medical items and if everything works I'll post a patch with the changes.

-------------------------------
-- [3/25/2021] Update
-------------------------------
Good news! I not only succeeded in re-enabling the Scientific Medkit's FDD animation but I also learned enough to take the next steps in making the Patch.
I originally thought that I'd just add in some of the Vanilla Medical items to EFT-MIO while renaming the entries so that the two types of Medical Items wouldn't conflict with one another... But it quickly became apparent that if I wanted to integrate the Vanilla Medical items back into the game, I'd have to add new entries to (death_generic.ltx) and (death_items.ltx) and even (mutant_loot.ltx) in order to make the new items spawn on enemy corpses. Additionally, I didn't like working with the EFT-MIO item names/String-IDs at first because I would need to cross-reference different files in order to know what Item a vanilla medical item name refers to in EFT-MIO.

So, after thinking things over, I decided that the better option would be to rename the EFT-MIO items that matched the Vanilla Medical Items I was adding back. This means that the Patch will need to be merged with other addons/mods that alter the (death_generic.ltx), (death_items.ltx), (mutant_loot.ltx), (craft.ltx) and several other files, but this is the price for having more medical Items.

I'll continue to post updates as things continue to develop.
If anyone has questions or suggestions feel free to reply to this post.

I am replying so late because I temporarily lost enthusiasm for the project and worked on other projects while I waited for my interest in Stalker Anomaly to recharge.

You are right about the EFT-MIO Modding project being something entirely new, I didn't know it would be. When I started working on the project I didn't know that it would involve making an overhaul instead of a patch.
I had to learn how many things worked and I recorded the steps I took to make the incomplete version of the mod.

Before I stopped working on the mod project, I did take a look at the new Body Health System Redux mod/addon and worked to update the Mod Project to the new version of EFT-MIO at the time.

It has been several months and I am feeling interested in Stalker Anomaly again so work on the project can continue depending on your choice. If you don't want the project to continue just say so. If you want the project to continue just say so.
I will continue working on the Project for my personal use regardless, but the Mod project will only be available for download if you want it to be so.

12/5/2021 Edit: I've been focused on real life things for awhile so I haven't made any progress on the mod project but that may change in the future if I can find the time to do more with it. I might be willing to release a proof of concept version of the project to ModDB as a educational resource, but that will have to wait for now.

I think Provak's includes BaS along with some other weapon mods

I've created this merge, they can find it here.
