Nice, thanks!
Tx for updt
Does this change the damage of the knives or just the health of the boxes?
Also, you mentioned paper boxes. Can you send a screenshot of a paper box? I don't think I've ever seen one. Am I missing out on tons of loot for not breaking paper boxes!?!
It says in the description what files it edits, so you can see what is changed.
He's asking what Paper Boxes look like, because he's never seen one in-game. In fact, neither have I. I'm quite interested to know what these elusive paper boxes are as well.
The first part clearly asks if this edits knife strength or box strength.
I seen paper boxes in stalker games, tho Dead Air and Lost Alpha had them most of the time.
Do people usually like you?
I'm not the most modding-informed guy. It's a lot easier to ask the mod dev to shortly explain the changes than to download the unpacker and learn how to use it, unpack all of the files, find the old version of the files, find one (or two) lines of code that are different from the original and HOPE that I understand what that line of code means at all because it's often not straight forward at all.
And I still don't know anything about these paper boxes and looking at the files wouldn't help me discern how they look like.
I was just answering your first question. *~*
"Does this change the damage of the knives or just the health of the boxes?"
And I answered
"It says in the description what files it edits, so you can see what is changed."
Meaning that since the files it changed were containers it could be assumed it changed their health or immunity to damage...
Yes, of course, but, as I said, I am not a mod-savvy AT ALL so this doesn't tell me much. Next to that too, there's also the question of whether the boxes have the same ballistics protection or not, because, as mentioned below, damage can be split into two categories (and as can be seen in the armor rating). I was curiosu about this too since wooden boxes are actually usable for cover and I generally find it quite unnimersive to break boxes with one single bullet.
it changes wound_immunity for the box itself which corresponds to damage received by melee attacks, just high enough that it takes 1 hit to kill by the worst knife, so no adjustment to the health of the boxes or changes to knives. the paper box is a cardboard box, i can take a screen when i see one in game next, they're kind of rare compared to the others.
Thanks for all of the info, man. Much appreciated.

Oh, my God. I have missed out on so much loot.
Gosh you learn something new everyday
I am now the box smasher. Fear me!
Hi there !
It's not a complain, as the addon is really nice, couldn't play without ^^
But could it be possible to alow it for weapons too ?
Because as far as one knife cut is enought, they still require multiple rounds ^^
Is it even possible to manipulate that stat ? Would be pretty cool !
Anyway, thanks !
Hey aaaanon, thank you for the addon! It runs fine on my game.
I'm using version 1.5, with hotfix 8 and the 1.4 update.
I'm a big fan os Stalker, and rediscovered the game after so many years. And I keep finding these gems, like Anomaly and its addons. Yours, it helps with the playability, at least for me. So thanks again!
What files could be preventing crates from being broken at all? Im having that issue in my game, and confused with which mods could cause that
A must have QOL-addon for sure. Thanks!
Any idea if this will work in 1.5.2??
Yep!
