-Less Generic Stalkers, Rookies, and Bandits (now including Duty, Freedom, and Monolith)- (Works with 1.4005)
This addon is made to replace the old, boring NPC textures you see every day around the Zone.
General:
This addon changes the textures of Rookies, Bandits, and Stalkers, as well as the Monolith, Duty, and Freedom factions. The Textures for Rookies, Bandits, and Stalkers are randomized between 3 to 5 different textures each thanks to Meshes (that were made by those noted in the Credits), the textures were made by me and those noted in the Credits. You can find 3 more screenshots in my profile.
Install:
Extract the "gamedata" folder to your Lost Alpha Directory, overwrite if needed.
Caution:
Will not work with mods that change human npc meshes \ textures so be warned.
Credits:
Thank you to the original author of Less Generic Stalkers, Rookies, and Bandits as well as the original author of the CoP Variation mod. Also, a special thanks to GSC for the games, Dezowave for Lost Alpha, and all of the Stalkers in the GSC forums.
Compatability:
This mod works with all Lost Alpha patches including 1.4005
Future:
There will be 1 last update to round off the faction textures and to rework the Bumps of all of the textures, but this may take some time
- Made in Lost Alpha, for Lost Alpha -
Feel free to provide feedback
In the DC v1.4005+your mod I find several types of Skat 10 and PSZ-9d apparently grow in characteristics as you progres in the game. There's no change in the name, only in the specifications (and the price, course). After I access to Prypiat can find a Skat 10 for more than 120.000 rb.
It got, for example a 50 in bullet proof, when I got 42 in the same Skat (I buy before in the playgame) with all the upgrades-
My surprise was Fox, the technicians in Agroprom and Prypiat Upskirts, can't upgrade that kind of Skat 10.
Somebody know who can do this modifications, and the mods that say "technician need more data"? It's a bug?
Thanks! Finally its officially on the addon list, I use this mod for years in LA and it adds very much needed variety to the game. Its also very safe in terms of stability. Thanks Stooe!
Thanks for your kindness And beta testing HybOj (though you may not have known lol). I've updated a few textures with this one too if you're still using the version from my profile
Looks real nice, please check if it will work with 1.4005 as well.
Yes sir o7
Hi,
Hope you can get this to work 1.4005.
Cheers
The mod works fine for me on 1.4005
Confirmed this Does work with the new 1.4005 patch. Happy hunting, stalkers
Groundbreaking Update is in the works. So groundbreaking, that it will totally overwrite all progress made until this point. Keep checking back for updates
Does this work with extended pack?
I have yet to test it with the NPC's in the extended pack, but it should work with the extended pack itself. If you try, and get a crash resulting from my mod, you can post the error here and I'll work out the problem with you
I logged in between then and now but thanks for reply I will test today
Expression : fatal error
Function : CKinematicsAnimated::Load
File : ..\xrRender\SkeletonAnimated.cpp
Line : 713
Description : <no expression>
Arguments : Can't find motion file 'actors\exoskeleton_animation_.omf'. Gotthis
What version of LA? Do you use Npc pack from extended pack? The meshes I added don't call to any exo anims as they replace only stalker suit loners and rookies, while the other factions only had slight texture changes, so it's likely caused by another mod. I can tell you however, that the reason the crash happens is because the "_" after animation, it's not supposed to be there. If you have notepad ++ or another hex editor, you can use it to open your meshes and find which is calling to the misspelled animation and fix it (most likely an exo wearer) though I can't promise it will be the final solution, as people have interesting ways of making their meshes.
Only using directors cut your mod and extended pack but I'LL try the fix thanks m8
Hey stooe, any word on the big update you mentioned? Really looking forward to it! Love the addon! :)
Yeah wondering if there's any ETA on the final update? Great work so far, I don't play LA without it!
theres never any ETA on free projects, it just adds a unnecessary pressure on the creator, when he tries to meet the deadlines. Try doing your own project and set a ETA, you will wonder laters why you were so stupid and placed this additional burden on yourself while not even being payed! This is fun, not a job. And theres always someone asking for ETA... the longer the work takes, the better product you get, if it gets out. Also, forget about anything like a "final update" it doesnt exist. Maybe at EA when they say F you all we have enough money already and this bugged game of ours is now officially abandoned. Be well.
You seem like a well adjusted human being...
Thanks for the "lesson" but I've made and released mods myself and never minded people asking for updates and having questions about the work, so long as they weren't rude and didn't nag.
But, yeah, be angry I guess.
Hyb0j, what the hell?
Will there be an update for 1.4007?
Would love to know as well!
If these were available for HD Packs then i would've gone Ooh lala.
Anyone tried this with 1.4007? If not I will, and report back if it works.
so?
