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.

It seems like 99% of the new Icon packs people post get taken down within the first week of being uploaded, so I make sure to download any new packs that come along.

Edit: Nice, this one stayed up.

Thank you for making this mod, I really like when people make simple but very important addons. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey, thanks for updating this mod and for making patches for it. I'd like to make a patch that adds vanilla medical items to EFT and the FDD Animations addon, any advice?

What a welcome Surprise! I had been wondering if it were possible to make an Addon for Anomaly that introduces a working version of the Chem known as "Jet" to the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Now I know that it's possible and that makes me happy.

Thank You.

This is exactly the kind of mod I was looking for, but unfortunately when I tried to add it to my RC18 game and loaded a save, it Crashed to Desktop. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue with my other mods or just incompatibility with RC18 but for now it just doesn't work for me so I'll have to wait until this wonderful mod gets updated. :D

I think this is a great mod that fills a need in the current system and it's definitely going on my "must have" Folder. :)
