This expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Chernobyl and Call of Misery/Last Day/STALKER Dead Air aims to provide CoC stalkers with a in-game chat system, based on our servers, and increase the immersion with some features regarding the gameplay aspect of the game. Trading between players and a proprietary Android app are only some of the elements we want to introduce in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The chat is now live and has been stress tested, this means that we are moving not only in polishing the already existant chat script, but also in creating and inventing new exiciting implementations, like worldwide leaderboard, a trading mechanism, dynamic maps, even an official application for Android! This lightweight addon will surely enhance your journey into the Zone, at a low performance cost. Another point stressed by us is that we don't want to make of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. an arena game, just mating the mother concept of "game" with "immersion". No lies, we just want to make a really good addon for u!

codeonion worked hard to rewrite all the server and the porting to a new version of the .exe program is ongoing. There is a clear difference regarding performance between old and new, as the latter employs now a single class against the 20 functions in the previous versions.
This change has been made to simplify the communication between client and server, making it extremely modular and adaptable to every request of the client, and in preparation of more complex, future steps in development...
