Diseases Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Hi, I enjoy Misery quite a bit. However, I found it silly that when you eat raw food, you only slightly lose health and gain a lot of radiation - that's it. Despite the description of mutant meat, you can't get ill from eating them. I worked day and night to see if there's a way of adding some kind of illness feature, and I finally made this. Basically, if you eat raw mutant meat, you have a chance of getting ill. When you get ill, a notification will pop up when the symptom starts, you can also check your achievements list to see if you are ill. For right now the only way to cure the illness is by using a newly-added item called antibiotics. You can only get them from traders of any kind. For the time being I'm starting this addon small and will soon branch out to make it possible to also get ill from mutant attacks as well as adding different kinds of illnesses and perhaps having to diagnose the illness in order to get cured by different types of medication or just seeing a medic.

Give me your feedback, please. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Disease, especially from mosquitos, is on my list of ideas for the future release. I considered vomiting as a symptom, but we have managed to avoid bodily functions so far, and puking inside a closed system would be a little too graphic. I like the idea and if you can pull it off on this xray engine as an add-on I'm sure it will be a welcome one A nice heavy gurgling of the stomach sound effect when the stomach symptoms hit would be enough, I think.

Radiation poisoning would be considerably more detrimental than food poisoning, but food poisoning could also be from eating older food, or trichinosis from eating the meat of carnivores. We already have tetanus shots, gamma globulin shots would be a good addition - even rabies shots (4 courses)

I would also consider vaccines (a little pricey, but half the cost of remedial medicine) Everything needs to have an upside and downside. Invest in vaccine, or suffer loss of productive time, missed deadlines for missions, and income if debilitated.

Medications could be in the form of a patent medicine/shot and some sort of home made remedy that takes longer to recover, some sort of tea maybe.

I look forward to seeing your results

Good luck!

Here's the documentation for the files that were edited/added for the addon:

One thing I did not mention in the documentation is the actor_effects_data.script. All I did in that file was add the animation when using the antibiotics.
