The final version of Vanilla S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Overhaul.
Mod requirements:
1 English 1.0006 Version of the game
2 Playing on full dynamic lighting (r2)
3 System requirements*:
• At least Windows 7
• Radeon R9 280 (3gb)
• Intel core I-7 3770
• 16 gb RAM
*This are specs of my pc that this was tested on and i can record the game with mod and on "high quality" 60 fps 1080p obs setting in 50-60 fps so treat it as "recommended" sys-req.
Installation:
- Make sure you have unmodified game (if you modified your game in the past i would recommend uninstalling it with something like "revo uninstaller" just to be sure and making a clean installation after).
- Make sure that inside "fsgame.ltx" file located in the game folder this line looks like this:
"$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata\"
- Start the game and change the lighting type to "full dynamic lighting" then quit.
- Copy the "gamedata" from main files folder to your S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl folder.
- To install higher FOV (xrGame.dll) and grass render distance (xrRender_R2.dll) Find those files in the game folder or "bin" folder and then paste the desired files to the same location
and either overwrite them or rename them.
- New game is required.
Known Issues:
• Fucky blur shader rarely a weird after images might appear - Issue from aa2 (to disable motion blur remove or rename "mblur.h" located at gamefolder/gamedata/shaders/r2)
• Floating hangman in bar and military warehouses.
• Sometimes (very rarely) ammo might despawn when unloading weapons.
• Some animations end quicker than the game reloads the weapons - Overall OWR3 For SHOC is not exactly perfect port and has some tiny hiccups.
• Unique weapon models when dropped on the ground do not want to use proper world model. They work fine in npc's hands or in the player hands but not when dropped.
• In the weather config of AA2 file, there is something mentioning rain fix and that is not present in the old-new config (sometimes (rarely) it starts raining before the proper transition to rainy weather ends).
ENB, SweetFX, ReShade etc. - This is something you are on your own to install as I'm personally not the biggest fan of those.

I can't reload any of my guns. The ammo is in my inventory but the ammo counter shows 0/0.
I need more info. On my end there is no such issue.
Well, what info do you need ?
Fresh 1.0006 install, steam version. Using the alternative weapon balance patch from the optional folder.
Imgur.com
maybe these screenshots make it more clear
I can unload weapons and the ammo stack in my inventory increases. I can't load any ammo in my gun though, the ammo counter shows 0/0.
- Did you follow installation instructions?
- Did you change: ("$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata\"
- Have you restarted your computer after the installation
I checked with and without the gun balance change just now and i have no problems reloading any of the weapons.
Though the steam version makes me wonder. I tested and played it on GOG version, i don't really have steam version of the game to see if that is the problem.
Yeah, it's installed correctly, i've been modding Stalker since 2007 ;)
The Steam version shouldn't be any different, i can try again with GOG and see if that fixes the issue.
Try to run the game from "bin" folder from xr3DA.exe and tell me if that changes anything. As far as i can remember i've read in the past that steam might cause issues sometimes and it might require reversing the game version
aye, will do.
update: still the same, doesn't fix it.
Did you mess with zrp in any way? Modified anything trough Modifier.exe?
nope
I just made a clean install myself, installed the mod, and i just can't replicate this issue. I'm assuming this is something with steam version of the game, there is old early access version of the mod in the archived files. You might try that one and if you do let me know if you get the same issue, also let me know if you get the issue on GOG version.
This is really weird the 1.0 is not THAT different from early access version and ea version got over 700 downloads and i can't really believe that you are the first person using steam version with this mod.
i don't know man, it's weird.
did a fresh install, without any patches from the "optional" folder and i still have this issue.
As much as i want to help you i am clueless on what may be causing the issue on your end. My bet is on steam version but since i have no access to it, i can't really be sure that is the culprit. I even installed my old box version of the game, patched it to 1.0006, installed the mod and again, no issues on my end.
Installed on the GOG version and it's working perfectly fine now.
Guess the steam version is the culprit here lol. Any logs or files you need in case you wanna troubleshoot steam version compatibility ?
You could send me your user log, but i guess i need to get myself a steam version of the game to see what's up with that.

What does "-sjitter" command do (Steam Game Launch Option)?
Also try to disable ammo aggregation script.
Open "_z.script" located gamedata/scripts
Go to line 21 "ammo_aggregation = true" And change it to false.
-sjitter softens shadow edges, you can run 1024 smaps and it still looks good
as for the rest: gonna try that, gimme a min
Pretty nice so far, gave it a test last night. Couple issues - I get some extreme shadow distortions along the edges of my screens in certain areas (Tried all the border commands ect) Interiors seem super bright like it's on Static Lighting even though it's set to full dynamic. In fact, I'm noticing most things aren't even casting a shadow
Edit: May have missed a little step.. it says to run the game and turn on full dynamic lighting before adding any of the files..time to reinstall lol
Edit: Reinstalled properly, did everything the right way, issues still persist. Game seems perfectly stable, but visually it is just ugly as all hell lol, I dunno what's going on.. I'll post some pics

Did you max out graphical settings in options?
Try typing "r2_sun 1" in the console when you load the game.
If that doesn't help try removing user.ltx from documents/stalker-shoc/user.ltx or if you use steam version it might have it inside the game folder at "appdata" folder.
Also did you instal support for static lighting from optional files? This file is only required if you want to play on static lighting.
Shadows flickering around screen edges might be due to higher fov and if "r2_sun_near" and "r2_sun_near_border" is not enoug to fix it for you try lowering "cam_fov" in the console
this also might be an issue to 2k or 4k monitors.
Alright I think I got it working mostly, deleting the ltx for some reason did it. Got a couple questions though.. any way to remove the constantly flying around wind/dirt stuff? Also.. what would I delete to get rid of the lens flare from the sun? It's a bit much. Also just noticing it's 10:45 AM in the game but there's hardly any light?
Imgur.com (Has the flying stuff I'm talking about and did the sun explode or something? Lmao)
Removing Wind/Dirt effects or Flares - not really if you delete flare files it will crash your game so to make them go away you'd have to make them transparent with image editor.
No sun? Weird, have you tried restarting the game? Or try changing the level? Load the game press ESC then J when main menu pops up and jump to garbage. I haven't experienced such issue and im not really sure what is that about.
Hey. Great mod but I have one question. How to disable your subtitles? I mean don't take me wrong they're good i guess but I'm playing in polish and the mod just replaced the original subtitles with like filenames(?) and the only thing it displays is some garbage. There's also no dubbing. SO is there a simple way to disable that and get the original voices, subtitles back but enjoy the rest of the mod? I don't want to use any .exe files because I'm playing on linux(proton on steam). Thanks
Okay, I checek it and I can use Modifier.exe through wine and it works but there's no option for vanilla subtitles and voices
To disable subtitle mod you need to go to options > sounds while you have pause menu (the simulation is running) and simply chose no subtitles, to get the original dubbing back you need to remove "character_voice" folder from gamedata/sounds, though this will also remove new monolith responses.
So if you want to keep those you need to remove everything from "characters voice" beside human_01/monolith, human_02/monolith, human_03/monolith.
If you want text to be changed back to original language like dialogue menus etc. well this is a little more complicated because simply deleting the new text files (gamedata/config/text/eng) will cause crashes as there are new strings and descriptions that will either be missing or/and will crash the game when not present. So you would need original text files from your language version and then something like winmerge to compare and merge the files so the new strings, descriptions etc. would remain English but the majority of the text would be back in its original language.
Oh and don't use modifier.exe if you don't know what you are doing you will most likely mess up your game. I should have removed that but i forgot.
Okay, I changed deleted the files beside the monolith ones and the dubbing works fine. How do I enable subtitles(even english from the mod) because it doesn't display what it should display I guess
Imgur.com
If the subtitles mod is enabled all I see are thing like on the screenshot above. I just want any text that makes sense in these places and it could even be english subtitles from the mod.
Go to gamefolder/gamedata/config/text
Change folder name from "ENG" to "POL" (without quotation marks) this should fix that, the text will be in English but it will be proper text instead of string references.
Thanks will try. And one more question. I found like 3 stashes and all of them were empty and one was just missing(goods of the shooter) and the box wasnt even there. Is it a known issue?
You are the first one reporting such issue, i mean i know that vanilla stalker had some issues that rarely caused stashes to spawn empty but i think zrp fixes that, honestly as i was testing i never came across such issue. And "goods of the shooter" Is that small toolbox at the very top of the mill missing? I don't know how familiar you are with the game but that one is a tricky stash you really need to climb at the very top of the building stairs->wooden planks to roof> higher roof> and the small toolbox should be at the bottom of a small "cabin" of the highest roof at the right wall if you look at the rookie village direction.
Yeah i know exactly where this stash is because i got it yesterday on vanilla and it wasn't there this time. And actually that's the only problem bacuse i forgot that I have to get info from someone's PDA before getting the stash. But i had a mark on the map with goods of the shooter so that's not the problem here.
I don't know man as i said there is a rare issue with stashes spawning empty maybe that was that, though you're mentioning that you run a steam version of the game which has higher probability of causing issues and additionally you run it on Linux, well I'd prepare for more surprises if i were you. Nonetheless, feel free to report other issues with the mod if you get any.

I have a problem with the sun light, it's dark
Did you max out graphical settings in options? Make sure you run full dynamic lighting.
Try typing "r2_sun 1" in the console when you load the game.
If that doesn't help try removing user.ltx from documents/stalker-shoc/user.ltx or if you use steam version it might have it inside the game folder at "appdata" folder.
This should help, if not reinstall the game, reinstall the mod.
