This mod re-enables the use of animated (video) backgrounds in the main menu of STALKER: Call of Misery in place of the static background image included in CoM.
I have included five (5) animated background choices to choose from for convenience which I feel match the theme of Call of Misery; all credit for those backgrounds go to tsěsarĭ and you can find his full menu mod pack here. This mod is compatible with any animated background mod found on the main Call of Chernobyl addons page.
In addition, this mod should be compatible with any other mods for CoM, however let me know if you run into any issues in the comments below.
Installation Instructions
Step 1: Place the "gamedata" folder located in "1. CoM Animated Menu Background" into your STALKER: Call of Misery installation directory and select the option to replace any conflicting files.
Step 2 (Optional): Navigate to the folder titled "2. Background Choices" and select the background option you would like to use. Place the corresponding "gamedata" folder into your STALKER: Call of Misery installation directory.
Place the "gamedata" folder located in "3. Backup (Uninstall)" into your STALKER: Call of Misery installation directory and select the option to replace any conflicting files. Delete "ui_background_new.ogg" from your "gamedata/textures/ui" folder. This will return your STALKER: Call of Misery menu background to it's original state prior to installing this mod.

![CoM Animated Menu Background [1.0d+]](https://media.moddb.com/images/downloads/1/123/123000/Demo_Image.jpg)
[1.0d+] ? More like 1.0c+, so far it works perfectly with my 1.0c build so theres no need to scare off guys that still prefer 1.0c for whatever reason, just like me.. Also I tried every one of those and they dont look fitting that much to a Misery concept.. Ofc its a gameplay footage but for a menu theme I would expect something more... Miserable ? I guess, while also a bit at a more miserable areas.. The old church one is fine but the ones with friendly bonfire atmosphere ? We are talking CoM here right ? Not CoC.. I would love some BG with storm at some place.. Or the church one would be great if colors were more washed out (desature) with a yellowish/orangeish filter over it so it fits misery aesthetics a bit more and so on :/
This is what I mean.. I.imgur.com vibrance -25, + 20% LBA warming filter.. Not that much of a difference, but hell lot of a difference if we talk about fitting misery theme
