[READ SUMMARY FIRST] RC19 + MO2 + Add-on Pack (All separate) addon

Pastebin.com

1. Hey guys.
2. I went through a lot of trouble trying to stream line the process to play RC19 for my friends, and I thought to myself why not share it publicly with everyone so that anyone can enjoy a more streamlined process.
3. This goes without saying, I may / may not come back to individually credit individuals but do know all I've done is compiled / stream lined the download and play process of RC19 and take no credit for any works within this 'package'.
4. Thank you to all the modders of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, and thank you Anomaly Devs for all your hard work.
5. Installation: (Please follow these instructions as closely as possible, any issues you may have I will not be personally coming back to assist with unless I feel the want to or have time to help.)
6. Firstly, the three links.
7. RC19 - Drive.google.com
8. The RC19 package is fully updated to the latest version of Anomaly. It comes un-modded, and should work out of the 'box'. You don't need anything else to play it. If you're interested in modding...
9. MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) - Drive.google.com
10. This is Mod Organizer 2 and it contains MO2 + Anomaly plugin to utilize it for Stalker Anomaly.
11. Here is two guides on utilizing MO2 for Stalker Anomaly.
12. Initial Set-up - Lazystalker.blogspot.com
13. Skip the parts referring to downloading the plugin for it, my MO2 archive already has it.
14. Mod Management - Lazystalker.blogspot.com
15. This guide teaches you how to handle files for Mod Organizer 2. I will also include a simplified picture guide in imgur.
16. Finally, the last link will be to my own personally compiled add-on pack. I've hand picked everything and carefully ordered things so nothing conflicts and or overwrites properly to avoid issues. This is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL and only if you wish to be lazy.
17. Badass Add-on Pack - Drive.google.com
18. Contains things from trader overhauls, HD models, new sounds, guns, better load outs, HUD, etc. It really enhances the game experience.
19. 1. Download the RC19 .rar (If you wish to play unmodded, simply extract to your preferred location and run the game through the Anomaly Launcher and enjoy! Or if you wish to manually mod or go a different route of mod management.)
20. 2. Extract the RC19 .rar somewhere that can read & write files. C:/ is usually a good idea or any drive you store games on. I recommend and SSD.
21. 3. If you wish to use MO2, download the MO2 .rar. Unpack it anywhere you like, location isn't important.
22. 4. Open MO2. Click 'Create a new instance'. Name the new instance 'Anomaly' (Or what ever you like) then navigate to the extracted RC19 .rar folder, and select the folder that contains the AnomalyLauncher.exe (The main directory folder). The plugin that came with your MO2 should work perfectly and bring you to the MO2 mod screen, if it instead brought you back to the 'Instance' screen just click the 'Anomaly' instance (Or what ever you named it.)
23. 5. From here, you're able to use MO2 to install and manage mod load orders. If you're not familiar with MO2 usage, I recommend reading the provided links above and perhaps a video or two. (End of MO2 portion, only continue reading if you wish to install my personal add-on pack).
24. 6. Download the Badass Add-on Pack from the Google Drive Link. After it's downloaded, extract it somewhere with space.
25. 7. Have MO2 open and in your Anomaly instance, and go to 'Settings'. (Screwdriver & Wrench Icon). You're going to navigate to the 'Paths' tab. From here, you want to click the '...' button next to 'Base Directory'. From here, you're going to want to make a new folder that is preferably on the same drive as your Anomaly RC19 folder. Not IN it, just on the same drive. This folder will be used to contain the mods you just downloaded.
26. 8. After that is set, you're going to want to close the 'Settings' window and look to the top left of the MO2 window. You're looking for a symbol that has a floppy disk with a CD on-top of it labeled 'Install a new mod from an archive'. Click it, then you're going to want to select the 'mod.rar'. This will bring up a window that says something along the lines of 'This looks like a package prepared for installation through bain...." You're going to want to check every singly box below so it installs everything.
27. 9. After that completes, you should see everything appear under the mod section. From here, look at the imgur link and match MY load order otherwise it may not boot / work. After you've matched my load order, restart MO2.
28. 10. Open MO2 as an administrator, and on the right hand side you're going to click 'Run' with it selecting 'Anomaly Launcher' (Do this for the first time, then when you find out which Renderer you wish to use - DX9, 10, 11, etc. and if you wish to have the AVX option enabled for newer CPU's - Then you can pick the appropriate .exe. Click the drop down box to see what I mean as they are labeled / named.)
29. 11. Enjoy!
30. p.s. If Mod Organizer 2 doesn't enable the mods, close your game and restart MO2 as an Admin. Go to 'Settings', click the 'Diagnostics' tab, and change log level to 'Debug'. Restart MO2, run as Administrator, start the game up. If it still fails to work or has issues in-game. Take the logs and put them in the Stalker Anomaly Discord for further assistance located here.
