A S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl mini-mod by Halcyon777
An illustration of what some of the traders inventory looks like in the mod can be seen in the image below. To zoom in, click HERE

The LITE and PURE editions of my mod found in the downloads section contain a separate folder apart from the base trader files folder which include the following mods below. These mods complement my mod very well but should only be used if you are going to play the game with your own merged compilation mod pack or simply in Vanilla (unmodded game)
( All are from Stalker.filefront.com )
Axes Repair Mod by AxeMan808, MoDD, and Goffik
Stalker.filefront.com
This mod allows the traders in the game to have the ability to repair your weapons and armor, the price it costs to repair gear is the same throughout all 4 versions of my mod, so using this mod may decrease the realism and possibly the difficulty of the game, since instead of having to purchase a new weapon you can just repair your old one. Use this only if you don't care about possible decreased difficulty.
STALKER Real Gun Names mod v.3 by Kyodan
Stalker.filefront.com
Changes all the original weapons in the game to be based off their real life counterparts. Simple and realistic mod, adds more immersion.
Chernobyl_tv_v1.1 by Zero_3
Stalker.filefront.com .
Adds video from a documentary about the Chernobyl disaster to the two TV's that are in the game (one behind barkeep, and the other at the military base in Cordon). Instead of showing a couple of lousy in-game screenshots like it did before. I like it a lot!
Hades_Real_Gore_Mod_v1.0 by Hades
Stalker.filefront.com
Adds more blood and gore to the game, need I say more.
A few suggestions
- I strongly recommend that you play the game on Master difficulty if you use this mod.
- Pay close attention to how the traders in the game progress throughout the story, they may offer you more for certain items at different times in the game, or even less.
- Spend your money wisely, do not get excited and overspend on everything that catches your attention.

As of April 26th, 2013 I am officially done being a modder. The 'Master Edition' is the last of my work for H.T.O., I had fun and sure hope that the community will enjoy using this mod with other mods, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a great game trilogy, though it has seen the end of its days for future releases, I am positive of it. Lastly, if you wish to include this mod in your public mod project please credit me for my very patient and tolerant work, I actually have never played this mod beyond simple testing, I did not make it for myself, I made it for the community because the Stalker community is the only community I care about, the players are some of the greatest gamers. I want others to enjoy these games while they can, in another 5-10 years, they will be completely outdated on most gaming rigs and will probably be unheard of within the majority of the gaming industry. Rest in Peace GSC Gameworld and Good hunting stalkers...

This is version 1.4, it makes the games prices and sell values more like they usually are but traders are still unique in some areas. If you want the...
This is version 1.3, it was my original concept for Hal's Traders Back in August 2012, if you are a first timer and don't want a significant challenge...
Does anyone know if this works with autumn aurora? v1 with desolate pack 2, not the upcoming v2.
I think Sidorovich should have big variety because his the most famous trader in the zone and could get you anything u want. Btw great mod , as in vanilla it was really pain in the *** to come back from scorcher and see only AK's and few M4 in Barkeeps inventory :)
Hm, better not, since Sid is a beginning trader and the military is blocking his trade. But he should have a great variety on useful things, like medkits, bandages, and rookie stuff like pistols and shotguns. Automatic weapons...yea, maybe for a too high price and not that much, maybe just AK's.
Thats what I leave it at.
Nice mod but I cannot find anywhere to buy the ToZ-34 shotgun.
The Toz is supposed to be sold by the barkeep later on in the game, how far are you
I just found a stash directly east of Cordon near a pile of big rocks and anomalies. It's a backpack with the ToZ-34 hunting shotgun. I guess it all worked out ether way :-)
I had to kill some new soldiers by the bridge, 3rd time I guess that would be. Looted 2 dead bandits and 3 dead loners near the bridge as well. IDK which one I got the coordinates from. I'm thankful either way.
I've passed Garbage, met Barkeep and currently supposed to visit the lab in the Dark Valley. About when do you say it should pop up in Barkeep's inventory?
Noob question; Will this work with Complete Mod 2009? Do I use with "other mods" or the "base only" install?
Yeah, just use the base mod.
