Call of The Zone is a standalone modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – Call of Pripyat that allows you to explore the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – a desolate and highly contaminated region of Ukraine that has been abandoned and closed off for decades ever since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. What has been going on in this irradiated wasteland since then? There are no shortage of rumors and conspiracy theories, each more fantastic than the last. Rumors of mutated wildlife, brainwashed cults, secret experiments, and unexplainable paranormal events abound, as do promises of great riches and wildest dreams coming true for those who are daring or desperate enough to try to break through the cordon. You are about to find out for yourself what is true and what is yet undiscovered, and experience for yourself all the Zone has to offer... or to take from you.
Description
A small update has been released. Now you wont get your suits stolen at all and this is also compatible with Rhons' Outfit Expansion. Thanks to GooZe for being a lad and implementing this in my place.

Using this addon the only thing that happened was my killer saying that I'm dead and walking away without taking my stuff (though it's not like I'm dying frequently so it happened like 5 times in a span of a month and every other time my character would simply die after regaining vision, but that might be because of body health system addon) so I don't know, now there might be too little mugging for me.
I wish there was this whole campfire mode available, where you can only save near campfires. Quicksaves are too convenient for me to purposely stop using them and hardcore is too.. hardcore. Wish there was something in-between, that would make mugging harder to counter with going back in time 20 minutes of in-game time.
Or some script that erases your saves, only leaving the autosave that the engine creates when you enter into a map.
I just want Dark Souls but for Ru.
When you die:
- Drop all money in a backpack placed at the location of your untimely demise
- Return player to location of last load
- Clear status effects, replenish health and stamina
- Overwrite save
If the backpack is collected, nothing special has to happen.
If player dies again before collecting that backpack:
- Delete backpack
- Return player to location of last load
- Clear status effects, replenish health and stamina
- Overwrite save
What I like about this approach is that you don't actually lose progress when you die, because the things you did before dying are saved as well. Things like using valuable resources, getting beloved NPCs killed, breaking your fully upgraded and well maintained weapons and armor, you know. FUN things. And you keep all the stuff you looted before dying, such as weapons and artifacts and whatnot.
And if the game genuinely, HONESTLY really screws you over with spawning snafus and the like, you can reload an earlier save if you really want or need to. Because that will happen.
Best of both worlds?
I don't know anything about scripting, item spawning, relocating actors and manipulating saves so I've never actually looked into doing this. If using backpacks is too difficult or complicated, maybe use corpses and a custom lootmoney instead?
EDIT: oh lol this was about mugging, right. Same deal really, right? :D
EDIT2: mugging is the thing that inspired this idea; the ability to do ... stuff ... before death occurs got my attention. In a way, I always want to be mugged all the time by everything, but only following the rules above.
It's not even the mugging itself that bothers me, or that I think is broken. The problem is that you can't track the culprit, and even if you do, the money's just gone. I suppose that last thing could be circumvented by setting a lootmoney amount for that NPC to the amount you had when you got mugged, but meh. I WOULD RATHER DIE.
Okay now I want the spawn a corpse with lootmoney approach because then I could scream "OVER MY DEAD BODY" and mean it.
