Farwell, TAZ.
It is with a sad heart that I announce the end of an era for me, the time has come to say goodbye to the modding community and stand down as a modder. It has been a great journey modding this wonderful game and enjoying it to its fullest. I've been modding stalker for 13 years now, and TAZ is my best work despite being hated on and called whatever names. It is and will always be my all time favorite period in my life, letting it go while keeping great memories created by all the wonderful mods and game versions I've ever came across. Having a wonderful run with Radium and MDT teams has lead me into creating my own project, but everything has an end, including what seemed to be an ever lasting joyful hobby. Modding STALKER has taken a massive portion of my life, never hindered it but had always took an important part of it, now it will remain as a wonderful memory.
TAZ 3.0 is out now as an unfinished beta version, it's playable as it is, but it still have a bunch of things to fix and a select few guns left untouched. This release can also serve as a modder's resource package.
Note that this release is based on Anomaly RC15, so if you don't mind downgrading your game than you should be fine doing full runs with your favorite guns and noticing almost no game breaking issues. That being said, you can still install it on Anomaly 1.5.1, but be warned, all high zoom based 3D scopes such as HAMR, Acog, C79, etc, are busted in term of fov. This needs to be manually fixed one gun at a time. It's a one Axis correction for each scope on each gun. Eotech, Barska, Kobra, OKP, PK-SA, and all zero zoom based scopes are fine to use, 2D scopes are good to use as well of course. If anyone is familiar with the in-game hud editor than it should be a manageable fix; making the project more playable for Anomaly 1.5.1.
Anyone is welcome to take this release; refine it, do the necessary fixes, tweaks, and corrections, and I'll happily reupload a newer version after including any fixes made by the community.
The package contains a quick fix for Anomaly 1.5.1 for people who want to try TAZ 3.0 on it.
_________________________
A few notes about the build:
Any gun you equip will not fire, switch your firing mode to semi, burst, or full auto, that's due to safe mode feature being included in almost all guns.
TAZ 3.0 is built with the following FOV settings, use for proper hud positioning and aiming:
-fov 75
-hud_fov 0.73
Descriptions are not on point, don't rely on them telling you what attachments go on what gun, always use your eyes and reasoning when attaching things.

Good hunting stalkers!
Damn man, those are some bittersweet news you've got for us. Hope everything's well and huge thanks to you mp5 for the absolutely stunning amount of work you've put into modding throughout all these years.
Hey bro,
Thank for the huge work! 🙏
No, I'm not crying, it's just that the maslina got in the eye 😢
Why did you decided to stop modding? in the last media piece (AUG) it sounded like you were gonna keep working on this
I had the same impression :( Seemed enthusiastic enough to me
It's been a wondeful journey, each trip has it's beginning and ending,
this base pack for anomaly may eventually leads to new journeys,
now you got your journey !
Thanks a lot for your work and all people involved in the project.
Goodbye !
It's here.
It might be over, but we get to enjoy it.
Thanks for all the work.
thank 590A1!
Sad to hear that you have to stop.
Nonetheless this piece will be reasimilated and repurposed to what it never supposed to be. Thank you for all the hard work.
от души братишка, крутой оружейный пак! ждём фиксов!
Thanks for all the beautiful years and your huge contribution to the community!
Thanks for the work. Misery+TAZ was my best stalker experience
Спасибо большое за оружейный аддон
Hey man thanks for putting it out there, a lot of people would just drop it and never put it out. Respect to you.
Thanks y'all, much appreciated! hope you'd still enjoy it as it is.
I musn't cry
I musn't cry
I musn't cry
I musn't cry
I musn't cry
.... aaahhhh.....
well, it is a really sad notice, but wathever you do for now on just keep in mind that we will always remind the most badass weapons dealer of the zone: mp5lng
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
Is the pso1m with eyecup can't be attached to guns now? AK series seems only can attach the no eyecup one...Btw the new AK74/AKS74 models look very nice!!
It's bittersweet, but if you leave happy with a smile, thats all it matters :)
Take a break, play some games, finding new hobbies, whatever it is i wish you good luck :D
getting 'shader compilation error' while launching in Anomaly 1.5.1. Any idea how to get past this?
For some reason the mod only works in DX9 no DX11 or 10, so launch it in DX9 mode.
i will not cry...
I will cry a lot farewell stalker the zone be with you
Farewell stalker, may you never forget the zone
Thank you for your effort stalker! we will ensure your work dont die here. I will be your spiritual succesor, and maybe one day i get skilled enough to continue with your legacy as best as i can. You can take a Stalker out from the Zone, but you cant take the Zone out, from the Stalker itself. Cheeki Breeki to you and good hunting!
I believe in you, young padawan. Let the legacy continue living through.
very sad to see you go :( such great news mixed with awful news,,, i hope your new projects go well!!
I made a small patch for Anomaly 1.5.1 + Taz 3.0, hopefully it is useful to people, feel free to take what you want from it.
This patch allows you to also play TaZ 3.0 in DX8, DX10, DX11 for Anomaly 1.5.1 ONLY
I made a patch for DX10/DX11 for scope overlay textures so they show somewhat accurately.
Please read the readme for instructions and more info.
For the sake of causing less confusion, I have deleted my link.
please use the official patch here
Moddb.com
thank you! but now I've noticed grass has better shadows in dx9 while in dx11 is more flat? also stuttering and freezes on dx9 are over on dx11
I'm not sure how my patch would cause any issues like you are describing. Or maybe I am misreading your post?
The patch is mainly changes to weapons, animations, configs.
as far as the shader file changes, I just replaced the shader files that were causing problems with shader compilation,
and the ability to use the renderer they are for, with anomaly's shader files. it was easier than trying to have people delete files.
The only changes to shader files I did on my own was for static lighting renderer(dx8), so the OKP-7 sight showed the color of the sight mark.
Good luck with your issues man
your patch is fine, its something else I just noticed while switching to dx11
Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the feedback
hey man us it possible that you post you fix in the addon section? so is more vissible for everyone
There is no option to post anything in the addons section.
you can upload your fix in the official TAZ server, so we upload it to the addons section (giving you the credit of course)
Hey, thank you! Did anyone noticed the Steppe Eagle has wrong third person model? It's black in FPS and in third person the model has even what looks like a red dot sight...
Thank you. I and many others will never forget playing Misery wtih TAZ. So immersive was this mod. Is there any others who will be updating TAZ along with your other works?
