Adds info about a stalker's death to the patch they drop.
[Update 1.2: Added time of death. Patches no longer show as having condition]
Tagged Patches
Ever found some dead stalkers and wondered how they died? Just check their patches.
When a stalker dies the patch they drop now contains information about their death:
- Name of the dead stalker
- Name of who killed them
- What weapon was used for the kill
- Range of the kill
- Location of where the kill happened
- The part of the body that was hit for the kill
- A list of all the body parts that were hit before the kill
- Short description if killed by a mutant
- Immersive cause of death; "Died from a pistol caliber gunshot",
"Died from injuries caused by a mutant" etc (Enable in MCM)
- Date and time of death
Wanna know what body parts you hit with your shots? Check the patch.
Wanna have a trophy of killing a specific stalker, like a faction boss? Keep the patch
With MCM you can toggle which lines of info you want to see in the patches.
Installation
I recommend using Mod Organizer 2.
Works on both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.
New game is not required, but old patches will not show the info.
Examples
![sksnpckill]()
![utjanmp153lonerkillpatch]()
![ecosnorkpatch]()
Known issues
Not all mutants have a unique description for the kill
Other mods may remove a patch from dropping as loot.
Rarely a patch don't have any information about the kill. Can happen if a stalker drops multiple patches. Only one patch per stalker gets the info. It's not a bug.
Rarely the cause of death will be unknown, if the mod can't determine it.
Incompatibilities
"Item Properties Redone" is reported to cause the info to not show in the patches.

New game required?? As my character got dozens of patches
old patches will not have a description
You don't need a new game, but the info will not be shown on old patches.
Bro, where is the text stored? I tried to translate, but nothing came out.
I translated two files to \gamedata\configs\text\eng, but it didn't apply in the game
Look into scripts
I haven't done translation before, but it should be possible for this.
Man, it's not enough just to translate the text files. You should copy or move those translated files to the directory named according to the target language. E.g., "spa" for Spanish, "rus" for Russian etc. Without quotation marks, of course.
Недостаточно просто перевести текстовые файлы. Их надо скопировать или переместить в папку с именем, соответствующим целевому языку. То есть, ежели перевод на русский, файлы должны лежать в папке с именем "rus". Без кавычек, разумеется.
Is it possible to remove the name of the person that killed them and just describe the wounds found on the body? Doesn’t really make sense for you to know that information unless the murderer left a calling card or something.
Yes. I'm adding more MCM options to customize this. Thanks for the feedback
It would be amazing if you could create an optional “realism” variant of this addon that only gives vague info about the stalkers deaths. Example; Instead of “Killed by Utjan with a Glock 19” it could say; “Killed by gunshot wounds to the chest ” or “Mangled by mutants”” or something along those lines. Knowing exactly who and what killed them with what weapon seems too cheesy. Awesome addon with a lotta potential nonetheless!
this plz
Yeah I can look at doing that in an update. Thanks for the feedback
Thank you! 10/10 much love awesome :)
Brilliant idea!
Добавьте пожайлуйсто русский перевод.
Anyone is welcome to translate the xml files and upload them
Перевел хмл файлы и создал папку rus, но почемуто перевод на половину русский, не могли бы вы сделать сами , пускай даже с машинным переводом.Ваш аддон интересный.
Pretty nifty. I wonder if it would be possible to add range at witch a stalker was shot & killed?
That's a great idea! I'll try to get it in the next update
What about if the patch information also tells where the poor Stalker died? For example: Found dead near "Train Hangar" at "Garbage"
That's a good idea. I'll try to get it in the update
check your oven utjan it will burn
It's okay, I like my pizza crusty
Quite a nice addon, but adding too much info kinda kills the immersion. Making it as one dude said would be pretty cool and realistic, showing only obvious info about the wound type and info about the faction, no need for the used gun and the shooter. Also, maybe add gunshot wound type, like visible small bullet holes, buckshot wounds, heavy caliber wounds, slash/stab wounds, etc.
Working on more immersive lines as an option for the next update. Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers, looking forward to that :)
Hey i'm triying to translate this addon, sometimes says unknow death cause, is that normal? anyway the big problem i have with the translate is the All wounds part: Its on english,body parts of the wounds, where are thoose files?
Vanilla game maybe?
Thanks for the mod i really like it
Yeah sometimes the script can't figure out how the npc died and it'll say unknown cause. If you can make it happen on purpose, let me know how.
About the body part; I forgot to make it pull from the xml file for those. I'll do that next update
i love you :D That's cool addon, so now I can find out who killed my friend and track him down
Patches still does not show info, is there any incompatibility with other mods?
Possibly with other mods that badly edits the description of items/patches. I made some changes in the coming update that may help. Make sure you're properly installing only the DLTX or Non-DLTX version
No one of my addons overwrite or replace st_patches, can they do that thru script?
Different scripts can modify the same parts of the game without any files conflicting in MO2.
st_tagged_patches.xml is just a file for the text and is used for translation
After all this time i found the issue... "Item's Properties Redone". Those ****** script ruined all of my time fck.
Jesus, that new update is perfect
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
Nah, thank you sir, you're doing god's work :]
Thanks for the mod. Pretty nice idea)

Here the russian translation if you need.
Edited a little (minimise body parts, lower case letter for more immersion with overall text)
Translated for my personal use but decided to share for anyone who need that.
Some screens included below

Перевел на русский.
Названия мутантов\частей тела со строчной буквы, для более приятного общего вида) - "Правая рука" -> "рука (п)" чтоб как можно меньше вылезало за рамку, когда список попаданий большой.
Сократил названия попаданий по частям тела.
Переводил для себя, но решил заделиться, кому надо.

UPD:
Ссылка удалена. Обновленный перевод с вариантами залит на сайт в виде аддона.

Thanks for making a translation! I don't plan on adding one to the mod, but you're welcome to upload the translated files as an addon
Да спасибо тебе, добрейший))
Hey i cannot sell the patch to the mercenary trader, i can sell to stalkers but the dialog option to sell patch always show like i have not any patch on my inv
What do you mean by "sell the patch"? Do you mean turning it in for a task? I need a better explanation to understand this. Haven't had any reports about this before
Sorry mi English its very bad, when you are on mercs basement on dead city there is an npc who can give you a mision to sell them some patches, when i try to give it to them it looks like i have not any patch to sell but on my inv there is like 30 patchs
Okay. I haven't had, or heard of anyone else having issues with patches not working for tasks. I tested aslan's lottery and that works fine. I'll note it, but not sure I can do anything about it, if it's even a problem related to this mod.
Its okay its not a big issue cause i can sell patches to every stalker so its okay, the mod its amazing by the way i prefer to have it even if im getting this issue so no problem for me, nice work!
Alright :) Glad you like it
ok i love this. <3
Doesn't work with 'Modern UI'.
Which one? There are some ****** versions floating around
