V 1.1694 Last update 15-05-2023.
A set of fixes, revisions, changes and rebalances in the settings to make everything less frustrating, without losing the difficulty.
My personal gamedata. V 1.1694
A set of fixes, revisions, changes and rebalances in the settings to make everything less frustrating, without losing the difficulty. You can open the debug menu. Esc + S
I use my own and third-party addons that I do not include here:
Own:
Original helmets Hud, but less intrusive.
Heartbeat Dynamic Music
Third-party addons:
A.R.E.A. Autumn Range 1.2
What's included here: Folder/files and description.
Rebalances:
- Configs/creatures: No more ammo sponges. Increased damage to mutants caused by anomalies and shots, changed immunities and protection parameters.
- Configs/creatures/game_relations.ltx Npcs and rats now are neutral. Before the NPCs even threw grenades at rats.
- Config/misc/trade/orders/mar_base_owl_stalker_trader_orders.ltx Spore offers a light suit for less money. The previous price seemed exaggerated to me.
- Config/misc Reduced the number of npc_in_squad for mutants.
- configs/weapons/weapons.ltx Increased ammo damage for long guns.
- Items: energydrinks and some drugs are incresed 10 times the efect but decresed x10 the radiation restore, always keeping all the proportions of the health stats.
Reworked Arsenal Factions:
The idea of this addon is to implement a progression of the type of weapons and ammunition throughout the game, given the variety and availability of weapons and ammunition for each faction.
Changes:
- configs\gameplay/character_desc_marsh.xml The swamp´s Doctor has a shotgun Remington870.
- area_volume.script when you take a suit don't drop it.
- dialogs_marsh.script Now, the Swamp Doctor, in addition to the key, he also delivers his notes.
- configs/plugins/drx_da_config.ltx Reduces the chance and the amount of dynamic anomalies appearing.
- configs/plugins/player_loadouts.ltx Yes, I cheated, I reduced the price of some items a little when creating the character.
- configs/scripts/beh_companion.ltx Companions can die.
- configs/ui White spots for npcs corpses.
- Items repair: added others bonus items for cleaning weapons.
- Trash items: roubles can stack.
- You can put the camping lamp anywhere you want.
- Sound and sight detection bars, in case a bloodsucker is watching you from afar.
Fixes:
- Configs/creatures/spawn_sections_marsh.ltx The swamp´s Doctor do not die in the middle of the swamps.
- configs/scripts Npcs are more smarts. Added the ability to trade important npcs, they now help injured npcs, light bonfires, choose their weapons, defend against mutants, etc.
- Cigarettes heal psychic damage.
Important: how to create a personal stash anywhere.
- Sit where you want to create it.
- Open the debug spawner.
- Find the menu item_misc and find and select "Chest".
- Join your new stash!!!

uh, how do you turn on the debug spawner again? i dont think A.R.E.A has it anymore, right?
Yes, they turned it on again the debug spawner.
If i remember correctly, it's esc to the menu and F1?
Esc + S
With patch (from 04.01.22) is disabled again.
Hi, now is updated for the last path 04.01.22
Thanks man. I resolve this myself, because i'm old modder too :) But i don't understand, why DEVS removed this features like dbg menu, demo_record command, g_god etc. Unlike for example Anomaly mod has very great dev tools even open source engine.
Wait, 1 minute ago I updated it again to correct a bug. Every 12 hours I am updating it.

how disable a radar?
Hello, it's in the keyboard settings.
With patch 26.01.2022 the debug spawner is disabled again unfortunately. I love the custom stashes.
Add "-dev" to direct access.
Thank you for the info and addon. I suppose that should've been obvious to me haha.
Well at the risk of seeming dumb - It is not obvious to me - ha. I do not understand how to get into debug mode. I saw the notes above about it being Esc + S - not working for me at all. Can you explain step by step please. Thank you. I am using the most current version plus the personal gamedata download.
Acces direct od¿f the game, right clik, properties, find direction or destiny, at the end add "-dev". Enter the game, menu and press S and get out here, Stalker!
Okay - now it clicked. Been awhile since I have used DOS. Just ran via cmd prompt with the -dev after as stated. It Worked! Thank you for replying so quickly.

this makes area actually playable and should just be in the game by default as an update
would you ever consider making more starting locations? i wanna spawn in wherever i want so i could make cool starting scenarios
Hello, thanks for the comments, I could copy the starting locations of each faction so that they are all eligible but it would not make sense to start with the northern ones...
In the next few days I will update the addon to V. 1.1643.
i dont really care if the spawns dont make sense since the loner only being able to spawn in reeds or behind the zone is atrocious since the military will gun you down with fire and brimstone as soon as you breath on them even with this amazing addon, all i want is a call of Chernobyl type thing where im not limited.
If you can't get past the South checkpoint in Cordon you're not a true Stalker. By the way... run to the right, stick to the fence and when you get to the fallen tree, go to its right side, see if there is anything in the chest, always stay next to the fence and run for your life!
I discovered a problem here. Butcher and other stalkers in the flea market always run into the room next to the table where Butcher usually stands. The problem is Butcher doesn't go back to his seat, he just stays in the room. save/load doesn't help either. He is therefore inaccessible to the player.
And another question. Which file do I have to delete to disable this heart beat sound when enemies are near?
Hello, to disable the heartbeat sound delete the folder gamedata\sounds\music\combat. For the flea market thing, try with this file: copy and replace.
Drive.google.com
gamedata\configs\scripts\garbage
THX i will try :)
hello hello, i recently downloaded your mod and when i open the game it crashes and gives me this error
Expression : <no expression>
Function : CInifile::Load
File : Xr_ini.cpp
Line : 396
Description : fatal error
Arguments : Duplicate section 'item_lantern' found.
stack trace:
0023:00AA233B xrCore.dll, xrDebug::backend()
any help??
Delete the others addons or instal this al the end.
(i used all of the addons too btw)
might have done something wrong idk, ill retry
Delete the file gamedata\configs\items\items_attachments.ltx
I have 2 questions 1.Do you know how to remove the save restrictions while fighting monsters/stalkers? 2. After receiving all the transitions to locations in the game, they also continue to disappear after psi-storms and emissions, how to fix this?
1. I dont know.
2. Go to gamedata\configs\axr_options.ltx
enable_transitions_switch = false
Change to true
THX bro!!!
You making an update for 1.1645? i'd love to try this addon but it keeps crashing with no errors shown :(
Updated today
Thanks for keeping it updated, makes AREA better to play with your tweaks.
This rocks. Thanks for this.
I can't seem to spawn any items from the debug menu without the game crashing, or load previous saves I had before installing. Any thoughts?
Hello. No, you cannot load pre-install saves because this addon modifies several files. In the debugging menu you must uncheck the box that says "spawn in actor cursor".

I didnt install other addons, just this one. The version to play this is the 1.1645?
Go to gamedata--> configs--> items--> and delete de file items_area_craft.ltx
Hello! Will you update this mod for the current version? 1.1646? 1.1645 isnt available for download anymore. Thanks!
I'm not going to update it to version 1.1646 until it's stable. Because we know that every update brings back a list of bugs.
This addon is compatible with v 1.1646, I just installed the latest patch and I didn't have to modify any files.
Greetings. Have you done anything with the crash on totalizator? (No other addons installed).
