Thank you so much for this mod! Now my play through where I obsessively collect armor and weapons and upgrade the **** out of them feels more complete! I am not using any other mods along side this with the current version of Anomaly, but since I am playing under Linux, I can't say for sure if every weapon and suit of armor is upgrading correctly, as the game does crash every once in awhile under WINE with Linux.
BTW using this mod with the work bench to upgrade your own stuff doesn't show the full upgrade tree, otherwise just paying a npc like Forester to upgrade your stuff works fine.

When I was getting warmed up into my current play through and I was at the point where I had to talk to Doctor to get the quest moving, the option to to press E to interact was not showing up for him.
I used my sleeping bag to see if he would move around by the morning, still no luck, I made a new save and closed and reopened the game and then I was able to interact with him.

Anybody know why the outfits were removed from the zombies? I was actually kinda having fun seeing what outfits they would drop, repairing a exo suit from horrible condition back to full service was a rather fun challenge. :p

If I remember correctly in the last beta the game engine defaulted to using SLI and watching my GPUZ logs for my two video cards showed SLI sharing the load evenly. This beta seemed to change to preferring single card and my primary GTX 1080ti had full load on it. Using NVIDIA settings to create a profile for AnomalyDX11AVX.exe and enabling forced alternate rendering 1 brought Anomaly back to running in SLI with no noticeable issues in rendering. Both video cards use about 30 to 40% usage.
I also switched off V-Sync since I have a G-Sync monitor, everything is nice and smooth as a blood suckers bottom.
Also I selected the settings profile that implies that you need 24GB of ram, I loaded up my saved game sitting outside in the swamps, alt-tabbed out to Task Manager, checked my process for X-Ray engine, it says using 3,216MB of ram. I'm using 16GB of overclocked ram, I have yet to find any game in my Steam library that will attempt to max out my 16GB of ram, I doubt I'll ever upgrade to 24GB or 32GB of ram, unless I trade out my beloved Dell 2K Gsync monitor for something in 4K, but I'll probably need to upgrade my credit card before I do that. Took me long enough to afford my two EVGA GTX 1080ti's, and I sure as hell won't be upgrading to those over priced RTX 2080ti's.

I've noticed plenty of people saying the sound quality is poor vs the older beta, I just barely started a new game in 5.0 beta 3.0, but so far for me everything sounds ok? I've noticed they only offer OpenAL Soft as a audio render? Unless I'm mistaken I think in the older builds they offered both a generic software audio render and the option to choose OpenAL, maybe they are reworking the audio system in the background.
All I can say is that with a 3GB and 7.5GB download that takes up 20GB of your hard drive, I expect a high definition experience! There's already people complaining about all of the excessive high resolution graphics beating up their older systems as it is!

Finished downloading, unzipping the files and reinstalled my "itemless upgrades" mod, thankfully passing -dbg to the launcher still brings up the debug menu when hitting escape in a game and pressing S.
Thank The Monolith.

So there's a new launcher, can we still create a shortcut to the launcher to run the game with the -dbg option to access the debug menu?

Excellent!

I'm very happy to report that I'm running CoC 1.4, with the 64bit xray engine, under Linux with Wine 4.0 staging! Lurking in the zone without capitalist Windows!

I'm very excited to see if you can bring CoC 1.5 to a final release!
I'll be lurking and watching patiently!
God Speed Red Panda!

The Wish Granter will probably bless us with the 1.5 final release of some other mod totally unrelated to first person survival shooters of eastern European settings. :P

So this mod works with 1.5 R7, but of course when I try adding a upgrade that increases the armor rating, the one upgrade that has the little body armor icon, it crashes the game.

*tries speaking heretically*
GraNT US THe GifTS oF The CHAAOOS GODDS (a new update) OH GReaT ONe!
(did it work?)

The one thing I miss from Stalker in general, was the faction wars that I got to see in Clear Sky, I never did get to pursue that type of game play in Call of Pripyat because I got so absorbed by the Call of Chernobyl free play action.
But I do miss the constant war between Duty and Freedom with the faction war game play, if I jumped on either side of the war and joined either faction, I just loved getting the missions to attack the opposing factions.
With this game play I do remember Duty and Freedom NPCs constantly seeking each other out in places like the Garbage,
that must have been a aspect of the A-Life mod that I used to keep hearing about.
On the other hand, I kinda like the more chill pace that as I explore all of the maps included with CoC.

Anybody know if this mod will be adapted for the newly released CoC 1.5 R7?

I downloaded the new unoffical 1.5 R7 last night and I am enjoying it, but I already miss several mods from 1.4 that has kept me away from 1.5 R6 for so long... Does any one know if any of the big/popular mods are being adapted for 1.5 R7?

I _Think_ that has happened to quite a few stalkers who have spent Way too much time in the zone, some where I have a screen shot from CoC 1.4 where a stalker was sitting "inside" another stalker, take that for whatever you think it means. But yah, NPC pathfinding and object clipping has always been weird I think.

Has anyone come up with a fix for the armor upgrade that crashes the game, in most armor it usually is a first tier upgrade option that appears in the first row...

I would also love to see a version of this for CoC 1.5 r6 that is free of crashes. :p

I'm running 1.87.21 and the generals Titan works just fine for me while playing the guard. The biggest change from the older versions that I have noticed is that now you have to recruit the general and put him on the field, then build the Titan assembly bunker and collect enough requisition to build his Titan.

Eagerly standing by 1.88 goodness!

So far I'm having fun with the new Hunt Begins mod! But I will keep checking back here to see if a fix/patch comes out for the installer.

Would it be best to just play the stand alone Hunt Begins 1.86 mod? I was hoping to play The Hunt Begins with the Tyranids...

Nice folding stock!
Oh and the girl with the red shoes is nice too. :P

Ive always wanted to see the Zone just after it was created, to see things from the very beginning! I will have to try this mod out!

Sorry to hear what happened, hope that you feel better soon, and that you can continue on your mod. If you don't work on it any more, I know its your choice and hope you find something to put your skill into.

Hope to see you come back to your mod, I know a lot of people were looking forward to it.

Glad to hear you are still making progress with the mod!
IRL stuff like work always takes priority, money matters and you have to pay your bills, mods don't matter much if your homeless!
If you can get us a new demo to play with around Christmas, that would be a nice present to keep us interested, but otherwise I think most people who lurk around moddb long enough are patient folks.
You said you won't be making your Clear Sky mod a total conversion but instead a expansion on the original Clear Sky mod? Once you finish the mod, will it still enhance the free play style of the game?
If I think back a couple years to when I last actually played the vanilla Clear Sky, the game kinda pushed you along the story to hunt down Strelok until you reached the power plant and then the game ended there, kind of a bummer like that. I believe both Shadow of Chernoble and Call of Pripyat both allow free play in the regular game, once you reached the end.
I hope you keep your mod in the spirit of free style SetaKat! But it seems like your more interested in getting your mod finished, so I will wait for Christmas to come and see if you can give us a nice demo to try out!

Enjoy your weekend, we look forward to quality updates, when they are ready!

Its good to hear that you got a job, you need money and food first.
But even if you will have less time to spend working on this mod, its understandable, as long you stay with it and get out some quality beta's for us to test, I think most of us will be happy.
I will continue to follow your mod and look for future updates!
