InGameSubs for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
This is a mini-addon for being used with SRP v1.1.4 and Vanilla, it adds only subs and PDA messages to the English sounds used in-game that don't have.
The game displays the majority of them as PDA messages, and as I'm not a native speaker, there are some of them that don't have PDA messages displayed on-screen, and so I can't understand what they mean when I'm listening to them.
About Clear Sky:
- A small portion of code was implemented in SOC to display a message based on its length, this isn't present in CS or COP. All PDA messages are displayed in 5 seconds.
- This is a bit undesirable because some messages are longer than others, and there is sometimes not enough time to read some of them. I'm planning to bring back this feature if possible.
- As above, there is a 1-second timeout effect that adds a kind of delay to the messages too, so I provide a mini-optional to remove it if you want to.
About this mini-addon:
- There are a lot of NPC sounds denominated human_01, human_02, human_03, theirs subs aren't included in this version (there is a plan for it in the future), so only the main storyline and secondary tasks related sounds at the moment.
- There are only subs for megaphone sounds, greetings, and farewells, this is going to prevent the PDA from being full of them, the other sounds are displayed as normal PDA messages.
And finally, it's important to say that this is a work in progress, but the addon is totally enjoyable and completable. The vanilla version is available if you want to play the vanilla game for the first time with subs.
Notes:
1. Install instructions and additional comments in the Instructions_and_Additional_Notes.txt file.
2. You can update this addon safely, a new game isn't necessary or needed.
3. Beginner programmer and modder here. While this is my first addon for Clear Sky, I've checked that all the new additions work and are compatible properly.
4. From the original InGameCC mod: "You can freely use parts of this mod in your mod if you wish. A mention of the source in your credits would be nice though".
TODO:
- Implement subs for the initial cutscene (only functional on OpenXRay likely).
- Translate and add subs to the alarm sounds at the military checkpoint.
- Add PDA messages or subs for human_01, human_02 and human_03 sounds. (If they're PDA messages, they might make the PDA full of them because there are a lot of them, yet it's the less footprint memory option).
- Add more punctuation marks as vanilla to enrich the game text files (Although, this can only be done by a native speaker or someone with a high English level).
- Reimplement a small portion of code used in SOC to display a PDA message based on its length if possible. This improved readability and immersion on the HUD.
Final Results:

- Performed basic proofreading in stable_closecaption.xml and removed "\n" characters of it, because they aren't used in st_subtitles.xml.
- Fixed subtitle overlap in ui_custom_msgs.xml (Yar and Ashot dialog shouldn't overlap with their greetings and farewells).
