A modpack/total conversion based on Old World Addon aimed at updating and improving visual, sound and gameplay design without compromising OWA's classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. feel.
Old World Redux is a modpack/conversion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly based on Old World Addon with the goal of updating and improving the game's visual and sound design, as well as adding many quality of life changes and addons intended to increase immersion and improve progression. Old World Redux seeks to further refine the gameplay and atmosphere of Old World Addon while maintaining it's classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. feel.
Old World Redux has only been tested in 1080p on a 16:9 display in English, I cannot confirm whether other resolutions/aspect ratios/languages work as intended.

INSTALLATION:

What about screenshots, videos etc.?
UPD: Thnx for adding them.
Got a few up now :)
so redux stands to: "i put some other addons in it to give a better looking/QoL while mantaining the vanilla feeling"?
yeah
And so the cycle begins again
well this is awkward xD i'm workin on an old world overhaul too, it's already different enough though it doesn't matter, nice work, hopefully we get more old world compatible stuff in the future
Thank you, and that's dope, I'm hyped to see your take. OWA is great and has a ton of potential for expansion and the more people making stuff for it the better.
I wish someone would port over the original storylines to OWA.
Imagine having the three classic STALKER experiences in one seamless platform
Old World is the perfect mod for that idea "original storylines"
That's cool cause I have the same idea as the patch after Ukrainian localization for the addon.
How's this coming? What direction are you taking it? Would be happy to throw a few hours of play testing at whatever you're working on.
(buried)
Modpack remakes, this has been a while… Also what’s funny in that one is that you remove the essence of Old World with your « Redux ». Next up what’s it gonna be, Old World BAS and Tacticool Guns Redux? Reminds me of this community ages ago when EFP and GAMMA weren’t existing and we were seeing new modpacks and remakes of modpacks daily… with little care about crediting other people’s work. Here atleast you credited modders, but without detailing which addon nor the addons links…
Grokku-chan, stop being such baka!~
Sorry it's not to your taste. Would it be more to your liking if the progression was 10x slower? Maybe, I should change the color grading to exclude all colors besides variations of brown, grey and green.
As far as crediting goes, there's a full list of included addons with their authors in the readme. Didn't want to clutter the MDB page. :)
rofl i see the pun in here, well, i like the 10x slower progression of gamma tho i don't like its graphics at all nor the rainy and stormy weather, i use the original michiko instead and i like it.
The fun of gamma is that is modular, i can play with all the **** i want; i need the Old World Gamma Redux Modpack tho XDXDXD
Why is it so hard to appreciate someone else's take on something? It's their vision after all. Also an harmless suggestion regarding the credits would be enough, not this condescending approach.
PS: Just realized this is the creator of GAMMA. Would expect a seasoned modder and community member to be more open minded about others sharing their work and vision, especially considering you have a modpack yourself, that I love by the way. Not community healthy this.
Now attacking old world players? Idk grok
who do you think you even are? ''my modpack is superior than your redux!!11111'' have you forgotten operator drewski is carrying your entire career?
I understand that you are French, and it is not your fault for being one, but please try to take the proper medications in adequate amounts according to the correct schedule next time
Are you really that degenerate?
Well, Grok, you always were a little, lazy, jealous bitch and you know it. Get lost.
shut the **** up gamma guy
Actual Braindead level take.
On that note I'm uninstalling GAMMA, I swear if its not reddit your constantly bitching on its ModDB. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a modder that sits in every single forum that even has the slightest mention of the mod scene just so you can constantly **** on everything because "Its not muh gamma" or "They insulted my progression" or "They called buckshot dogshit again"
I don't think I could literally think of a more pathetic mod maker in my entire life. Like we get it bro, some youtuber made a big video on your mod now you feel like you have a huge ****. Grok go touch grass homie, or better yet don't be such as ******

damn i will try this redux later. seems interesting
To be honest, I did not understand the concept of mods. Installed, ran, played, honestly, pleasure not get. I will not compare with other mods. For the efforts of a huge plus. To be honest, I still do not understand what the appeal of mods. I meant OLD WORLD. Thanks for the effort.
Imagine playing a standalone mod and then saying you don't understand mods XD
Classic Old World is a mod for fans of classic gameplay.
the effect of getting your brain fried by the Emission
he forgot that this mod pack is a mod that created the Vanilla Anomaly to look more classic like CoP and SoC.
rip this Stalker :sob:
Love the idea here! Tried it out last night and was having some performance issues although they may be related to the number of AI.
In rostok and army warehouses I was encountering huge packs of dogs and massive freedom squads that I think were tanking my performance. Any thoughts?
This piece of **** didn't even start. And I was wondering why the grades are bad.
I've always said that if a game doesn't let you play it, this game is bad.
How hard is is just copy files to anomaly dude? You lost common sense here, mods worked perfecly
This mod Doesn't Work With CRCR Crcr is a chat for stalker anomaly.
"There is a middle finger keybind."
Major innovation :D
A couple of questions:
1) PDA still drops a lot from corpses?
2) Have you by any chance fixed an unpleasant bug with the ability to sell / throw away the "heart of the oasis"?
3) Are the new weapons imported from the Simple/Modern Weapons Pack anything other than original weapons? Or is it just new textures and model variants for original guns from other packs?
4) "Warfare and Story mode are now compatible with one another".
Have you added Warfare ALife Overhaul here?
(Sorry if it's not clear, this is all google translate, not me :D)
1) I didn't change PDA drop rates from vanilla Old World Addon, I felt they were balanced as is, especially as stashes are more important for progression than they are in Vanilla.
2) No
3) They are entirely new weapons added to the existing pool in Old World Addon.
4. Yes
After checking the weapon_addons.ltx file in the file path (OldWorldRedux_v1.0.1.rar\gamedata\configs\items\weapons\), I was sad to see the blue acog is also missing in this Redux version, just like in the original addon. :(

This is amazing, I seriously hope this becomes as big as EFP and GAMMA. I would love to have this be a modular base for a classic Stalker feeling with a bit more tuning for weapons and visuals.
Even so, I've had pretty good success using MO2 over the top of this and adding a few more mods, like Atmospherics and some textures. I also swapped in the Dark Signal animated main menu (Zaper's), the Redux one is a bit low quality imo.
what language you speak?
real weapon names are cringe
This the redux of all time
pretty cool, but ultimately not for me. I just really prefer the older art style/graphical aesthetic. also the DOF feels absurd at times haha. thanks for assembling this!
"The most significant alterations of Old World Addon are the item changes. The addon downscales the number of items in the game to the amount present in the original trilogy to bring Anomaly closer to vanilla stalker. These changes also simplify or outright remove many of the side mechanics present in base Anomaly to put greater focus on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s core gameplay loop.
The game's economy has been significantly altered to resemble that of the original trilogy, particularly Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky. The value of currency has been increased and the player's income will strongly depend on their location within the Zone. The northern locations provide better task rewards, better artifacts, and more experienced stalkers with better loot, but it comes at the cost of greater adversity from powerful roaming mutants and more powerful anomalies.
The artifact system has been overhauled to make the player balance tradeoffs instead of managing containers and application modules, changing the way players handle the Zone's ultimate treasures. Artifacts can provide powerful bonuses but failing to counteract their negative properties may prove deadly."
You can add a separate addon for these items for Anomaly?
This mod is great and is so far my favorite mod for STALKER Anomaly.
