When installing, it changes the atmosphere options to russian. When installing atmoshpere 3 standalone it's in english. I've had to take screenshots of the options to figure out what I want and just change the russian options.

Also, the alerts for blowouts, etc are in russian as well (cyrillic not latin characters) Other than that it works fine so far.

I'll look into it but I doubt that's due to the compatibility patch, I surely would have noticed if something was in kyrillic... Did you maybe use any stuff from the options pack (for smrter) with it? The patch was not made for that, just smrter+weapons addon.
Also I didn't use the AF3 Installer, I copied the files manually.

Just to be clear... everything was in english, only atmosfear related stuff was russian? (try renaming the localization.ltx if there is any)

Yes only the atmosphere stuff was in russian everything else is in english works flawlessly. I only wanted to change a few options and I figured out what needed changing so no biggie. Also if you want to add any of the options for smrter you need to add them AFTER you have the compatiblity patch. Ie. Mask with hud etc. Also I would recommend people don't bother with the nano HUD, if the alerts are in russian it's better to have a bigger icon for fallouts etc.

Oh I think I found what the deal is. In the atmoshere compatibility patch localization.itx. It says:

[string_table]
language = rus
font_prefix = ;_west ;_cent
files = string_table_toolbox

So I'm assuming I do language = eng

to fix. Once it's installed where does it sit so I can change it without having to add all of the other options I have?

would it be here?

C:\Program Files (x86)\bitComposer Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat\gamedata\configs\localizations.itx ???

I'll try it and see.

Yep that was it. Your default language is russian. Easy to fix so other guys don't download it and go WTF!?

lol :-)

Works perfectly all the features of atmosphere 3 work great, I have been testing extensively. I'll let you know if I hit any snags. Cheers.

I also have completed all my weapons fixes if in the future you need help tweaking the weapons. All weapons now make more sense, not that they didn't before but all the weights have been fixed, trigger groups are now correct, MP7 can use the SMG 40 round mag, FN FAL is now a semi-auto battle rifle with the same knockdown power as the sniper rifles with more recoil. etc. etc....

No, as I said before, the compatibility patch is not layed out for use with the options pack, some of the options would mess up the game completely. Hud masks are enabled in the comp.-patch by default anyway.

Also I would recommend people don't bother with the nano HUD

right, forgot to mention that, since S.m.r.t.e.r comes with a custom HUD on its own, don't use that option from Atmosfear. I'l update the readme for the finalized version of the patch.

Oh I think I found what the deal is. In the atmoshere compatibility patch localization.itx. It says: (...)

like I said, simply rename localization.ltx and you should be fine. Strangely though this problem doesn't seem to exist when using the german version of the game. I asked my german testers about it specifically and none of them had this kind of glitch. But I'll delete the file for the finalized version.

S.m.r.t.e.r. came out long before there even was an english version of the game, it has always been based on the russian version.

Well you don't have to delete it if you don't want to just change it to default english unless the patch works fine without it. As I said I've tested it pretty extensively and it works great. I'm going to start fiddling with the options to see that all the stuff works. If it was in any other language Ie. French, German or Spanish I have a smattering in each and I would have understood it but Russian I'd have to learn a whole new alphabet.

Just an update...Everything works great with your compatibility patch. Tested all options no problems.
