Full-size game extension, adding new gameplay mechanics, consumables, readable magazines, trade items, devices, unique NPCs, and even a new set of storylines.
![about]( "about")
This addon was originally a minor addon that added a few drinks and snack from popular brands in western countries. Overtime, it evolved into a full-size game extension, adding new gameplay mechanics, consumables, readable magazines, trade items, devices, unique NPCs, and even a new set of storylines. Feel free to suggest new items or ideas in general, I'll do my best to add it if it fits the addon.

Looks sexy!
Tried my best ! More is on the way :P
oh my god thank you! I always thought it was a bit funny that there's no coke or anything in the zone
It all started from my trying to add Coke in the game, and ehm, I got carried away - again :D
Then please don't stop. This mod is amazing
ну давайте еще гамбургеры добавьте))
хотят и добавляют, в чем проблема?
Noted, one hamburger, one !
Awesome!
I edited the items_western_goods.script, now even us military guys can get junk food.
(works with G.A.M.M.A)
I tried to make it so that only factions with western (direct or indirect) ties have access to it.
You can always broker a peace with say... mercenaries, to get access to them as a UA soldier ;)
how did you edit it? (noob to mod with stalker, i located the script but dk how to open to edit) also using gamma, but playing with duty, so i'd like it available too since i'm also not good with merc. lol
1. Navigate to ~\gamedata\scripts and open items_western_goods.script (using any text editor like notepad or notepad++)
2. Locate (using the search function or manually) the following lines :
["dolg"] = {
[1] = {
["wg_cola_bottle"] = 0,
["wg_cola_can"] = 0,
["wg_sprite_can"] = 0,
["wg_redbull_can"] = 0,
["wg_twix"] = 0,
["wg_mars"] = 0,
["wg_milkyway"] = 0,
["wg_snickers"] = 0
},
}
3. Replace these lines by :
["dolg"] = {
[1] = {
["wg_cola_bottle"] = 1,
["wg_cola_can"] = 1,
["wg_sprite_can"] = 1,
["wg_redbull_can"] = 1,
["wg_twix"] = 1,
["wg_mars"] = 1,
["wg_milkyway"] = 1,
["wg_snickers"] = 1
},
}
4. You can adjust the "1" to any value, it will determine how many of the corresponding item are available per restock.
If you still need help, send me a DM on Discord or ModDB, I'll help you there.
thanks a lot!!
Nice work mate.
Just some stuff to point out.
- Use full dltx, so you can avoid overwriting base.ltx file, and you avoid a problem there
- Give more "unique" names to your items, cause rn there is a mod with the same item names and will make game crash due to duplicate names (game will complain that you are not overwriting stuff that already exists)
The unique names issue will be fixed in the next update (probably late this night or tomorrow).
As for the base.ltx file, I don't exactly know how to deal with it...
When you use dltx to declare new items, you create a file inside gamedata->configs
Name must be mod_system_(mod name or something "unique").ltx like you did with mod_system_western_goods.ltx
With that you don't need base.ltx.
In your case just need to rename files and move.
Thanks for the tip ! Update is on its way.
I've applied most of your recommendations. Though it seems moving/renaming mod_animations_settings_western_goods_drinks.ltx breaks everything... So I'm going to leave it where it is for now.
In any case, thanks for your help !
Oh yeah, sorry, that was my mistake, the animation one it's ok inside items/items folder. Been some months without using dltx ^^!
this is so cool. I hope someone make another mod that adding sellable technological stuff to game. Like computer parts,phones,tech stuff and more like in tarkov.
It's honestly not too far out of the addon's scope...
First I'll try to get the addon into a comfortable place, with no bugs/conflicts, then I might extend it in a few different ways. Thanks for your suggestion !
I tried to add it via MO2 but it says content of <anomaly> does not look valid. Are you planning make the mod compatible with Mod Organizer?
Indeed the structure of the mod's folder isn't ready-to-use in MO2. I find that making it ready-to-use in MO2 would only make sense there was a lot of sub-addons in my addon.
But since there is literally only 1 folder you need, it shouldn't be too hard to prepare the folders yourself.
Didn't think that gonna be pretty easy to add it via MO2. I really liked the mod, cant wait for future updates.
Greetings, As a constructive idea for the development of this Mod. I could add edible or curative flora such as Fungi, Mushrooms, blueberries, plants, mosses. etc. flora that was beneficially affected by radiation and that provide balanced benefits. also so that this helps to be able to elaborate new recipes such as "te de Barbas" or "El Pico" or devise new elements derived from construction, without using less immersive and more natural elements... In a documentary about Chernobyl I was able to see that there were edible plants like the cherry tree, which provided radioactive elements to their organisms because strontium and Celsius are similar in molecular structure to magnesium and potassium. In this way the plant acquired radiation in its seeds but not in the meat of its fruits. In the same way, the animals that consumed these plants ingested these radioactive elements, adapting themselves.
I really like the idea ! Unfortunately I don't think it fits the whole "western imported goods" thing.
It could always be something I could work on after this addon is "finished".
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll see what the future brings !
Of course, as you say, this mod is for imported objects, but hey, the idea can be implemented for another future add-on. It's just that since I saw that you were able to create consumable items, I thought I'd suggest it to you as an alternative idea, and if you manage to do it, you have my full support, I wish you the best of luck in advance! a greeting!
Really cool. Small things like this add up, and make STALKER Such a different experience. You could add M&Ms; or Mentos with the Pill animation maybe :D (M&Ms; come in a tube too!). Rockstar, Monster Energy, Mountain Dew (Gamer time), Vodka Gorbatschow (although this isnt exactly Junk Food I guess). So many Possibilities
I couldn't agree more, I've always liked to enrich my experience with addons of the kind, and I feel I'm not the only one in that case.
Thanks alot for your suggestions, some of them are already underway ;)

go into the file at the end (items_western_goods_food.ltx) and simply put an exclamation point in front of the the names for the candy bars like so
![twix]
![snickers]
![mars]
![milky]
I plan on giving the items more unique names to avoid conflicts. Just out of curiosity, would you know which addon it conflicts with on your side?
"FOOD FROM DENRO ВЕРСИЯ 1.0 ДЛЯ ANOMALY 1.5.1"
I use the DLTX version.
Moddb.com
Thanks for letting me know.
I'll update my addon as soon as I can with more unique names, it should fix this compatibility issue.
Update is up on moddb. Please let me know if you still encounter compatibility issues.
Don't forget to use the addon removal before updating.
хотя бы в сталкере я смогу выпить оригинальную колу
The best drink of all :P
eww :P
I smell some good Addons from you... mmmmmm
Thanks ! I'll try my best :P
excellent mod I am south american and a red bull is great in the area
I used to drink Redbull at work, but who said it couldn't also be used while hunting in the Zone? :D
mars and twix seem to conflict with food from Denro need to add "!" before them
why the icon of mars chocolate bars is military patch ?
I'll answer both of your comments at once.
There was a conflict with the addon you mentioned with the first version. I updated it yesterday night and fixed the conflict.
The Mars chocolate bar uses the military patch because you probably tried to merge it with food from denro, and it used the wrong texture file.
I recommend you use the addon removal (instructions available in the installation section on moddb), and download and install the update.
Sorry for the inconvenience :/
Me about to drink a nice coke after its spent a week in my backpack, sitting on a pile of mutant parts and shaken from all the times I ran from dogs.
You may want to let it rest before you open it, you wouldn't want it to blow up in your hands :D
or use the trick of spinning/rotating it around for atleast 10 seconds :')
Hi ! I'm thinking, maybe most of these goodies should be put on sale at Svoboda? Since Svoboda has great connections with foreign merchants, and it suits them in style. Just imagine how a svobodovets drinks cola, it looks very natural MOD 100/100
That's already what I tried to do, but I couldn't remember if Freedom had this good connections with foreign (and especially western) countries in the lore.
They do have really good NATO weapons so now that I think about it it does make sense they would have these goods.
I'll adjust it for the next update!
