L.U.R.K.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl mod |

The L.U.R.K. team wants to provide the best possible experience from Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, we don't plan to skew the scope of this game, because I, like many others, fell in love with the game because of the story, the realistic gameplay, and the atmosphere. I plan to preserve and improve on that concept to the best of my abilities, and our team has vowed to do so as well. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to provide that experience. We want to fulfill a niche that's otherwise unfulfilled in the modding community. We want to bring as many features to Stalker without damaging or changing the original theme of the game. While improving upon that concept with features that were dropped off the development cycle from GSC, such as stealth AI, and a strong foundation for balance, as well as dynamic A-Life, and an unprecedented visual presentation that no other Stalker Overhaul can touch.

So, yeah, I am an entire noob when it comes to modding and I'd like some help installing this mod. I've searched around the forum, but I haven't found any clear guide to installing LURK. I saw my friend playing STALKER with this mod and it looked really fun, so I'd like to get this installed.

Alright, I've downloaded STALKER from Steam. I have also downloaded the three files available on this site (1.05 Full, Patch 1.0552, and 1.1). Now, I've caught talk about making a "gamedata" folder, but I am really ultimately lost.

A simple step-by-step guide would be awesome. Sorry for being to ignorant.

you only need 1.1 and 1.1 patch. I'm not up for doing a step by step. someone else can fill you in.

Though some people like 1.0552 version better.

both are pretty much the same as any other mod install.

Would somebody mind doing the step-by-step for us? Especially, too, are we supposed to adjust any of the in-game options for HDR and other graphics options? Will this break the mod?

It is quite actual to know how to install the mod. For example after searching the fora I yet do not know whether
1) version 2009_09_29_L.U.R.K._RC_1.05_Full with the 1.0552 patch to it is a separate self-sufficing mode,
2) version L.U.R.K. 1.1 is a further development of the 1.0552 version,
3) version L.U.R.K. 1.1 is a separate self-sufficing mode too,
4) version L.U.R.K. 1.1 should be installed on a clean Shadow of Chernobyl game or it should be installed over 1.0552 version,
5) the content of L.U.R.K._RC_1.05_Full decompressed from the archive takes about 3.4 GB whereas that of L.U.R.K. 1.1 only about 1.8 GB of space. Which of them is better. There is a folder in L.U.R.K._RC_1.05_Full named "High Level Grass Density" whereas in L.U.R.K. 1.1 there is no such a folder. So, one can come to conclusion that the graphics with must be better? Beforehand I am grateful to any one for answeres.
