All the merges are found in the description but as a recap:

Anomaly 1.5.1 (Levels)
Anomaly HD Models Addon
Anomaly HD Models for CotZ
Death Animations
Smurth LilGABE Hybrid CoTZ
SRAP2 for Call of The Zone
T.H.A.P STCOC 1.5 R6-7 Pack

Sorry for late responses as I was without a PC for a while and lost all of my work. For anyone having texture issues, try deleting the shader folder. I believe that is what is causing the problems. If not then I'm not sure. Honestly though I'll probably just have to restart the mod at some point.

Yeah, I'm sure I missed a few key details with this addon as with all my addons. I'm still learning and eventually will improve everything I release (hopefully). That or work on an actual mod/pack.

Depends on the addons. Most of what I added was only graphical stuff other than:

Death Animations
Smurth LilGABE Hybrid CoTZ
SRAP2 for Call of The Zone

Smurth LilGABE Hybrid for CoTZ is the one that changes the most things, the rest being either graphical or some animations.

They are there, DoctorX just has it that they have to walk to where they usually stand/sit. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for them to get there.

Welcome to The Zone.

It's actually pretty simple to edit any name you want into it. Simple open up st_generate_snames.xml and find and edit a section like so:

<string id="lname_stalker_835">
<text>Pashchenko</text>
</string>

Just don't add any new entries. The game doesn't like that and I've yet to figure out the cause.

Yeah, I plan to eventually reword a lot of the text in the game. Even if it's only a few corrections. I just dislike certain words or how some are written out. Like having something like Monolith stalker suit bothers me. I'd rather it say Monolith Suit. Etc.

I'll check it out a bit later and put some screenshots up temporarily for you or maybe message you them. I don't have the best rig but I think my ReShade will make any Stalker mod look better.

Edit: Also I thought think Project Dead Air is well, dead. If I remember correctly they released a video or two on their Patron page about a month ago.

Also, anyone else notice how it's always conveniently raining whenever you want to take a screenshot in CoTZ.

Well what I noticed is that you aren't notified about the quests but you can still talk to the faction heads to get them. You'll see the golden icons on your PDA. At least the dynamic faction main quests. Not sure if I tested the overall main quests yet or not since I never play them. And if it doesn't work then I really have no idea how to fix that. At least right now.

Edit: I have downloaded CoC 1.5 R7+Unofficial Patch All-In-One Repack Reupload from here and may see if I can port some of the good DoctorX's stuff into it.

Updated. Randomize now works like it should and doesn't cause a crash.

Yeah I was testing various items like the artifact container and forgot to take them out. As far as the crash it could very well be something I neglected to take a look at. I have never used the randomize feature in any Stalker mod so I didn't think to even try it. I'll look at it in a bit.

That's good. I'm honestly surprised I was able to get it to work considering my lack of knowledge. If I had the skill in scripting or even textures I would create my own. It would be nice to have a character create screen that resembled a old computer screen, journal, or passport. Etc.

Yeah, it took a little bit of work since I'm not really a scripter or anything. I don't even know what coding language is being used. But I did try and comment the player loadout file, separating them by type so it's a bit more organized when adding your own stuff.

I'm not a scripter/coder by any means. I do what I can just by editing/deleting what's already there and even getting this to work without crashes was challenging enough. At least I was able to make a few changes to it such as using a currency system instead of points. Same thing really but it felt better to spend 3,000 for a gun or 2,400 for a gun repair kit instead of using 300 or 100 points.

Because CoTZ doesn't support those options and it would be too much of a pain (for me) to go through and create them. A lot of extra work for not a lot of extra gain.

Most of the work was done by other people and I simply merged them into one pack. The only real credit I can take is the ReShade Preset. It took me a decent amount of time to find a combination of shaders I was happy with that gave the game a more sharp, crisp, and distinct look. You can also use the preset with any Stalker mod to give it a more defined look.

Yeah, unfortunately not a lot of ways to increase how the game looks without impacting performance. At least not with the 32 bit engine. You could try to run it with lower graphical settings and without using the ReShade preset.

Hopefully it will enhance your experience with CoTZ with minimum issues.

The addon has been updated.

I made a few errors when editing the Smurth LilGABE hybrid CoTZ addon. I'm currently rezipping and soon to be reuploading but until then, whoever downloads this addon will also have to download that addon as well and extract and use all the files from the Main files - required folder. Apologies.

The Reshade, along with the graphical addons I added, increases the requirements to play the game. I have 16gb of ram and a 2gb graphics card so if you have less than that it could be the reason. But as you have discovered it is also plenty playable without using the Reshade. Eventually I will get around to creating a fully fleshed out addon with optimization in mind that uses a installer so people can pick what they would like to have.

Yeah, the gun pack merge could use a bit more love for sure and maybe I'll get around to it eventually though I am debating starting an actual addon that does more but with an installer so people can pick and choose if possible.

Where you able to get DoctorX's story missions to work with this? I know I tried making it compatible but the main quests never fired and trying to edit them in just broke the game. Then again I'm not that great at modding yet.

Hm. It should be using the same icons and whatnot that vanilla CoTZ uses. Are you using any other gun mods? As far as fixing it you would probably have to edit the UI file in game data/textures/UI I believe. I never messed with it personally.

Just download FWR. I didn't change anything other than deleting the atmosfear_options.ltx, axr_options.ltx, and localization.ltx files from gamedata/configs/.

Hopefully you will like it. The graphical visual style won't appeal to everyone and it still has some glitches but I've been enjoying it so far. It makes the game have a different feel in my opinion.

I would start a new game just to be safe. The weapons are the same as in vanilla but they use new animations and properties. But it may be possible to continue a saved game but I'm still new to modding the game and have yet to test it using an old save.

Thanks, and I'm not a huge fan of using ReShade either though in this instance it does help the game not look so dated. People are free to use the addon without ReShade they simply do not have to use the bin folder provided. I do plan to keep working on it for personal use and I happen to be happy with how it is going I will most likely update this page with it.

Absolute Nature Redux, Absolute Structures Redux, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2K, HD Models, DeviantDucky's Redux Models, and THAP STCOC 1.5 R6-7 can be used with CoTZ. I do not know about the sounds.
