An overhaul of all traders in the zone in an attempt to add a more immersive world where all of the traders have something different to offer!
Trader Overhaul Version 1.13
Author: AGoodSetOfPistols
The point of this extensive addon is to give a little character to the zone while also providing a few new
alternatives to make money as well as a few economy changes. The purpose is not to make the game easier but rather to make it more dynamic, to give you a reason of sorts to travel to the far reaches of the zone to look for that ever-present pursuit of profit. This overhaul includes all traders in the zone which will be adjusted accordingly over time. Whenever a good idea comes to me or someone had a great idea I will adjust the addon accordingly. I will ALWAYS give credit to those who were responsible for the suggestions made!
As always, this is not the only version and suggestions are always welcomed. If anyone using this overhaul runs into any problems then please tell me in the comments I’m all ears when it comes to changes so long as it keeps the main vision in mind. So in short, this addon has potential to vastly change if the circumstances ask for such.
Installing: To install simple place the gamedata folder inside of "Trader Overhaul (Mainfolder)" into the main folder of Anomaly. If you want to add any of the other options then simply overwrite the files as needed.
The following is a list of people I would like to thank that have helped with the addon, not directly but indirectly. Sparkynton, Evilwarrior2019, Cursed_August, Death_kinghtRZ, Incompetent
NOTE: (""You may have to wait for the restock cycle for the new inventories of traders to appear! New game is the most effective but it should work just fine with the new restock cycle!")

Holy smokes, dude! This went from just a few small tweaks to an essential overhaul in almost no time - well done!
Thanks, It helps to have deadlines.
Well done my friend! I appreciate how much you have improved your mod. Great work!
So in 1.04, Sid is gone, or just completely overhauled?
No, I merely removed the alternative version of his stock. The original version Sidorvich would sell Sunrise suits and its variants while Barkeeper only sold a few extra items. I got rid of this version of their Inventories so that Barkeeper now sells the Sunrise suits and a ton of Stuff and Sidorovich no longer sells those suits.
Makes sense to be honest. Why would I sell advanced gear in a village full of rookies? Stalkers usually head north when they can and probably soldem retunr to the Cordon (which is a freaking battlefield in Anomaly).
I know right? I had to use cheats just to survive my first four minutes in the Cordon because simply getting on to the road results in me getting ambushed by a wandering Military squad, a pack of dogs including a psy dog, a group of boars, and some ******* cats.
Is it possible with this addon to sell rubbish weapons-ammo+bLabLabLa to traders?
If your talking about ammo in bad or worse condition I have been thinking it over whether I wanted a trader to sell such ammo. I might, I might not.
Sup. Just added translation of the new Exoskeleton + looked through the "character_desc_jupiter" file and it's doesn't need any translation, I guess... Idk why it's there, by the way, but I just added it to the Russian folder too, yee: Drive.google.com
Good work, by the way!
Thank you again. I'll add that file to this in a bit!
Please Please Please!!! merge with SHOTGUN VARIETY 2 and TRADERS BUYS DAMAGED WEAPONS+ OLD AMMO, and if you agree NEUTRAL TRADERS
I can make compatibility files for those but I'm not going to merge them directly into them. I may merge the shotgun one into the mod and likely could do the Neutral traders. However, I personally don't use the lower condition that traders buy goods stuff.
I'll look into adding a merge of the other two however.
It would be better to keep them separated and only provide compatibility files, this addon seems to do a completely different thing than the mentioned ones... Of course, it's up to you, just adding my 2 cents!
This is a nice mod, by the way! :-D
Hello AGoodSetOfPistol
1st thank you very much for your hard work and this fantastic rework of the trader’s economy of “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Total Conversion Mod Anomaly 1.5.0 Beta 3.0 Update 2 Hotfix 7”.
(Boy, am I happy when Anomaly is out of its beta Phase for version 1.5, alone of the name sake)
2nd I guess something did go little bit wrong when you were packing and providing the last version “1.04”. The zip contains another .zip with the exact the same filename and the same files.
I also support the request for some optional merging options in the future.
The following would be personal my preferences:
- TRADERS BUYS DAMAGED WEAPONS+ OLD AMMO
- BLEED REWORK V.4 FOR ANOMALY 1 5 B3 UPDATE 2 (has on its own tow options “normal and PUPG”)
But None the less, thank you very much again for your great mod.
wbr
A very happy mod user
Hmm, didn't notice that about the upload... I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads and up! And as for merges I'm currently looking into something with that.
This is very exciting. I'd like to suggest that at least the basic kit be available via traders in the 'Hard' mode. If the goal is to be much more dependant on crafting, then it would be great to get that process started early in the playthrough.
I really think the crafting system is cool, but with random drops for every component plus access to crafting being gated by random drops for toolkits it can be hard to even get a foot in the door.
Actually, that was already my plan with it to make mechanics sell basic kits for that exact reason. However, I will certainly give you credit for the suggestion.
Thanks! This mod has really helped to improve immersion while also adding to the overall QOL of play.
Thanks for taking the time to keep it up to date and easy to merge when necessary!
No problem and thanks! There’s still some adjustments to compatibility that can be done but the next patch in a few days should hopefully fix that. Always my pleasure to be helpful.
Amazing addon my friend. Just a suggestion, would be nice a version with lore friendly factions traders (Duty and Army only Warsaw Pact weapons and so on)
Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Would take some work but would make a lot of sense!
My friend, I modified some of your file to make the traders arsenal more lore friendly. It's a start, I can post a link of pastebin here (with expiration date of 1 or 2 days) so, if you want, you can have a look at it, to help you in your work :)
Yeah, that would be a massive help man! I would love to give you credit but i don't have a name to attach to it. (Not your real name your profile name).
No credit needed, I'm happy to help :)
Here: https:\\pastebin.com\2djQR2hb
Again, thanks man that's a massive help for me!
Thanks, but not hud fangs exo. I had to add to me.
Are you saying that it has no hud?
Yes, I edit actor_effects.ltx
hmm... If you provide the file I'll add it into my next update.
I sent a message
Thanks, that helps save me a little time!
Hey some of the traders that you increased sell prices of certain items have been broken. For example hawain will sell vodka at a lower price than he will buy it causing you to glitch money.
Hmmm, that's strange because my version he doesn't. Are there any other traders you have noticed that with? I assume it's because of how the discounts work. What difficulty are you playing?
I personally haven't noticed it but I will look into it right away and see whats going on there.
So I took a look at the files and fixed It. I will have that updated in a little to fix the problem.
The problem itself was that regarding the discounts, the buy amount, and sell amount. It was a mix of all three. I did a fast look through and it seems like I got everything that I saw right off. I'm still looking into it a little but I'll get back to you If I find anything different.
I also Have noticed the Pidorovich is selling survival gear? I thought he wasn't supposed to sell sunrise and what not and most of that was to go to barkeep and the farm trader.
Yeah, I just noticed that... Since update 3 just came out I'm reworking a lot of things and fixing up some stuff like that so I will address that with that update. I will likely have it done by no later than tomorrow evening but may have it done tonight. Thanks for the heads up!
Awesome, how exactly does the new update change how your mod works? I noticed that when I tried editing an unpacked file it crashed on startup making me think that they aren't correct?
I did a hard reset of Anomaly (just reinstalled it) and looking right now.
Do you have a discord? Would make it easier to talk, also I reunpacked them after installing the update. I'm Beben or Nodens on the Anomaly discord.
Sadly I don't use Discord but If I did I would happily discuss such. Anyhow, sorry to scram off but heading out for an hour and will be back. I'll update soon on what is happening with the addon in regards to update 3.
Cool thanks, Maybe consider using discord, that's where the devs communicate with the community.
Yeah, I know I get people telling me to use it all of the time but I tend to keep off of the internet as much as I can. Anyhow, working on it right now!
I wouldn't think about it in a social media way. It's closer to team speak than skype or facebook.
I really hope to see a compability patch with Boomstick and Sharkstick, since this pack of weapon is pretty great to play
I'll look into that as that one shouldn't be hard at all.
Took a bit of time and rebalanced the Helmetless SEVA to be on par if it didn't have a SSP-99 helmet/Screen Helmet. =) if you'd like to change it or not is up to you my friendo.
Pastebin.com
Thank you! I'll add that later this evening when I get back home!
Is there a particular trader that buys trash items from you with this mod? Like Harmonica's, Jewellery boxes etc? I could sell some to certain traders before the mod but haven't found traders so far who will buy this stuff post mod installation.
I checked it out and didn't run into any problems. A lot of traders are not going to buy those items except for places like the Flea Market and Loris. This is kind of on purpose but In the next update I will likely add a few more traders who will buy them like Sidorovich and Barkeeper.
