This complete overhaul is meant for a fresh/unaltered installation of CotZ v1.2. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER WEAPON NOR NPC MODEL ADD-ONS.
FEATURES
- An easy, fun experience in a sandbox world with quite a few things to do
- Generous loot: a higher chance to loot Medkits, food, and raw Roubles than usual
- Companions are easier to recruit, starting off with a maximum person limit of four per squad
- Quest Expansion: all generic Stalkers can provide easy yet rewarding lore-friendly quests
- New Loading Screen tips: Wolf's Words of Wisdom, helpful to explain game mechanics
- Armor Expansion gives you a singular goal of working towards your unique dream armor
- Unique, recruitable NPCs from the original trilogy
- Numerous Quality of Life improvements and bug fixes provided by other add-ons
- Untouched vanilla textures for the original feel to Stalker
- Repack is able to accept any atmospheric texture pack! Just no HD Models
INSTRUCTIONS
Download and copy the gamedata and database folders in your game directory where there is another gamedata folder (or not if you truly have a vanilla CotZ). Overwrite when prompted.
I threw this together in roughly under one hour. Please leave any bug reports to the repack page where you had downloaded this. Bugs relating to the BETA Tiered Artefacts should go to the Artefacts Expansion for CotZ page.
To access your bug/error logs, search for Call of the Zone \ appdata \ logs \ xray_[username] and scroll down for any FATAL ERRORs. Majority should simply be running out of data, which is a limitation of the unfinished Call of the Zone that DoctorX left behind upon his IRL death. Crashes related to Artefact Expansion should go to the Artefact Expansion page.
NOTICE
Common crashes include "Not Enough ID's" or "af_[artifact]". This is perfectly-normal and you should simply reboot the game once, even two times.
This modpack works best with a population factor of either 0.50 or 0.25 for Stalkers.
Changelog:
February 6, 2022: Fixed Inventory Icon UI, added new dialogues for small tasks. Tiered Artefacts still has bugs. Removed excess files that significantly-bloated the add-on without function.
February 21, 2022: Fixed a few simulation squads of various factions. Added updated Stalker Variants. Tweaked information from Dynamic News Revamp. Fixed missing Real Last Names.
Feburary 28, 2022: Fixed an issue where Item Overhaul foods were not spawning in Stalkers' inventories nor corpses; enjoy your corn and tomatoes. Adjusted simulation squads so that Veterans (Tier 4) are now the leaders of their squads (only for Optional Larger Squads Add-on). Set Bandits and Ecologists to -4000 permanently. Nerfed Snickers because they shouldn't restore more hunger than a fat juicy sausage.
April 14, 2022: Added Rhons' New Repeatable Quests. Buffed drop rates of Medkits and looted money (Roubles and Paper Roubles). Added a custom save file - It only works with this Mod with Beta Tiered Artifacts included.
May 13, 2022: Remade the Mod to be modular, meaning some add-ons are now optional. There are core add-ons that are essential, however. Added Rhons' Armor Expansion and updated some add-ons within the modpack. New repack is NOT compatible with older versions of this repack.
May 14, 2022: Fixed numerous crashes relating to misplaced order of installation. Removed Population Increaser as its crashes were difficult to prevent.
May 16, 2022: Added patches relating to Artifact Expansion and New Repeatable Quests. Fixed a couple of UI Inventory errors.
May 18, 2022: Addressed crashes caused by Immersive Fast Travel. Added new dialogue lines and UI text from Dynamic News Add-on that did not interfere with gameplay. Added 26 new Repeatable Quests from the Repeatable Quests Expansion add-on.
May 21, 2022: Archived the modpack due to conflicting reports of success or failure of launching and playing the game.

Sounds like good pick for the first time with the project...
I’m currently aware of a few bugs as I was careless and didn’t use up-to-date downloads of a few add-ons. They will be fixed and re-uploaded in around twelve hours of this comment.
Current Issues I’ve heard of:
Item Overhaul missing UI icons (FIXED)
Some Tiered Artefacts not being detected
Missing Stalker Names (777 and 356(?)) (FIXED)
Some Item Overhaul Items are not spawning on bodies
EDIT: Two issues resolved. Re-download and overwrite files when prompted.
I don't know if someone else had the same issue, but using:
- Immersive Fast Travel
- Rhons' CotZ Mod Repack (latest) + IFT compatibility files
caused a CTD when talking to the barman.
I've solved the issue editing the character_desc_bar.xml file, replacing
<actor_dialog>ka_travel_dialog_barman</actor_dialog>
with
<actor_dialog>ka_travel_dialog</actor_dialog>
as in the original mod.
This repack already has Immersive Fast Travel, so both fast travel scripts probably conflicted and one overwrote the other.
Maybe you added this already, but I did not check
ManGun fix
Moddb.com
It is not needed if you are a Stalker, but without it, other factions such as Military cannot get their stuff fixed by ManGun
I have already added the fix as it was part of my New Variants Mod.

Should your game have any issues upon installation, next update will include one of my own saves so you can compare whether your own saves have any issues or not. Additionally I will include the next version of my Quest Expansion Add-on.
Mod Repack is now v1.2. Read the release notes in the add-on’s description or within the ReadMe.
For information on the saved game, it is in a well-developed state of progress. You will have a maxed-out Mercenary Exoskeleton, 270-360kg Carry Weight (three Flawless Dragon Eyes), lots of filled stashes around the Zone, around 3 million ru, and 13 Monolithian Companions armed with M134 Miniguns and Gauss Rifles.
A word of note is that there is a squad comprising of 15 elite Bandits roaming the map somewhere — Be careful! Additionally, the area around Cleric and Krolik may be laggy due to a large amount of items in the base within player-made Stashes.
Remember that the included save file only works if you have the BETA Tiered Artifacts!
Mod Repack at this date does not feature the new Armor Expansion that is offered in the New Variants Mod. When that optional add-on is completed, it will be added into this repack. The work-in-progress add-on is compatible with this Mod Repack.

I didn't installed the optionals with that in mind I encountered two bugs with this pack.
1) Near a fire anomaly there was an invisible artefact that couldn't get even with swarog detector.
2)NWG for swarog doesn't work. I had a 1st night vision helmet.
I noted that with the NWG with Veles/Svarog does not work on higher graphics due to increased light glare compared to DirectX 8’s settings. It’s a small inconvenience but it is the limitation of that add-on.
As for the invisible artifact, which artifact was is? Did you get a Companion to loot it for you?
Oof, it was in garbage that fire anomaly next to the bus and the heckcopter. The thing i don't know which artefat was it as even with veles out it didn't show normaly on the ground and also didn't show on the veles. Hope it helped.
In case guest text doesn't show up in time:
Oof, it was in garbage in that fire anomaly next to the bus and the heckcopter. The thing is don't know which artefat was it as even with veles out it didn't show normaly on the ground and also didn't show on the veles. Hope it helped.
Oki finally made an account. I wanted to edit that nwg for swarog doesn't work i think because it wasn't in your mod pack. I went to the official mod and download it and pase it into your modpack but it didn't showed any overwrite process.
I also remember i plaid with nvg swarog on cotz with dx9 and worked.
Also your mod pack is awesome i really like how you made it and i have a hella great time in it.
Some artifacts from the Artifact Expansion Add-on are only detectable with a Svarog, not a Veles. I’ve double-checked the vanilla artifacts for that.
I will properly add the NVG Detector visibility mod soon, along with updating the mod repack to v1.3.
Version 1.3 will include the latest patch of Repeatable Quests, latest patch of New Stalker Variants, the aforementioned bug fixes you’ve pointed out, and general quality of life improvements.
At the moment, although it is technically Version 1.3, I am making a lot of stealth edits as I constantly find content that I've missed to re-include in the modular version of the repack. Apologies in advance for any crashes or constant re-downloading to keep on track with the latest version of Version 1.3.
One current issue is that there is an issue relating to "pri_b35_merc_grenade_launcher_1", who is supposed to be Gaiduk of Freedom in Jupiter, but I am unable to figure out what is the issue. It causes a complete crash.
Bug fixed — Immersive Fast Travel replaced a newer, integral file with an older one. It should now be compatible and thus this specific issue is resolved.
As of May 16, if you get any crashes related to Artifact Expansion, please go to gamedata > configs > drx and delete drx_ql_items.ltx. It will resolve the crash as it is an unnecessary file.
Can you reveal how you managed to get AO3, items overhaul, and Artefact expansion to all work together correctly? I've installed the mods and patches in a lot of different orders and I keep getting the UI icon problems you mention.
Which items exactly are missing their UI icons? Is it artifact expansion?
When I install with Item overhaul's patch last, artefact icons are missing, and when I install with Artefact expansion's patch last, the item overhaul icons are missing or incorrect. To be clear, this is with just the three vanilla mods, not your mod pack. The mod pack works fine, I'm just more looking for an experience with a more toned down vanilla-ish death-generic.ltx
Okay, so you’re saying that installing the add-ons separately is causing issues?
Artifact Expansion is installed last and it only works if both AO3 and Item Expansion are installed together. That being said, if the UI is still wrong, I can look into it on its page.
If you say that the modpack works correctly, then this page is the wrong page to post.
Anyway, to answer your question, I used paint.net to edit the equipmrnt.dds file to keep the artifacts and the recent Item Overhaul additions together. It is located in gamedata > textures > ui .
I probably put the mods in a bad order, but here is an error I got

Gosh darn it, it’s Immersive Fast Travel again.
I will update the repack soon. In the meantime, go to the repack folder and go to ### Rhons’ Repack Core Files > gamedata > configs > gameplay. Copy and paste character_descr_yantar to the same file path as your main game’s gamedata path to the same file.
If you did not install Immersive Fast Travel, then you will either manually have to remove one string from each of the important Faction NPCs that offer Fast Travel or wait for the next patch later today.
EDIT: Problem will be resolved in the update that includes the newest release of Repeatable Quest Expansion.
EDIT II: Done.
I've just downloaded this modpack but I noticed that some icons are missing for certain items (like money or repair stuff).
Please list which parts of the add-on that you have downloaded and if they are in order or not. The issue with modular modpacks is that there are multiple combinations of add-ons that they have used or omitted, making it more difficult to get things right the first time compared to a non-customizable modpack.
Alright I knew what I did wrong, since I installed Artifact Expansion, I just had to install the compatibility patch for it.
Please let me know if you encounter any other problems with the repack!
I'm planning to abandon this modular modpack as I keep receiving conflicting reports of it either being successful and a failure due to crashes. It's too much work to try and take account for every combination of mods. I will upload my own modded Call of the Zone and leave this Modpack as outdated/abandoned. It was a good attempt, but it can be left as a testament on how difficult it is to make a fully-functional modular modpack.
Bummer its getting abandoned, I played a bit of this, but did not notice any problems.
The only thing I have a couple of questions about There is a disassembly tool, and it has a number of uses but continues to work anyway with no uses left.
Also that disassembly tool either:
1- disassembles weapon and gives a part and weapon disappears from inventory(expected)
2- get nothing from the weapon and it disappears from inventory (expected)
3- gets nothing from the weapon and the weapon stays present in the inventory as never touched (not expected).
Is #3 normal or is that weapon not added to the disassembly disappear list in a script somewhere?
A couple of weapons have that issue. Specifically SK1/SK2/SK3 variants of the AK-74 and the AK-74u. It's basically just Item Overhaul not encompassing that. The publisher of the Item Overhaul Mod here is since inactive, so we gotta deal with it.
Thanks that explains it,
I thought it might be something like that. If I get some time, I might look at those scripts or whatever (finding them is a big part of the battle) and see if they can be added.
-------------------------
Nevermind, I found the weapon lists in the gamedata\configs\items\repair.ltx
Reviewing information for that mod it mentioned something about scopes "Just be warned: don't use the Swiss blade with any gun that uses the new scopes included in Arsenal Overhaul."
This may include those rifles Im guessing/ Instead of doing bad things, the army knife just does nothing when dragged and dropped on those weapons so that is fine.
Not clear why the army knife still works when its uses are complete...
