Restores menu backgrounds, styles and music from Autumn Aurora 2. For those, who fell in love with it.
Name: Autumn Aurora 2.1 Menu Restoration
Author: SurDno, music and pictures by Autumnal Wanderers
Platform: Shadow of Chernobyl, AMK Autumn Edition 3.1. Should work on 3.0 or even on 1.4, not tested though.
DESCRIPTION:
I M P O R T A N T: if you gonna use it with Experience Mod for AMK AE, do not copy configs folder! If you've already done it, overwrite again with configs from Experience.
When I first opened Autumn Aurora, I was really shocked. After all that shitty (or as they are called in Russian community vasyanish) mods, REAL live compositions and REAL photos were really impressive. But it lacked gameplay changes and game with nothing more than graphics is a bad game.
It all changed when v1ld released AMK Autumn Edition, that combined best gameplay mod with best graphics mod. I really liked it, but it seems like v1ld cared ONLY about graphics, while Autumnal Wanderers are also good composers and sound designers. My friend already managed to restore some AA items in his Experience Mod, but my aim was to bring back Autumn Aurora's menus and music. Well, now for all those who wanted AE to be AA with AMK additions, not vice versa, here it is!

P.S. - I didn't add crimson_4 because I just don't like this one and think that male choir does not fit autumn guitar theme.
CHANGELOG:
v 1.0 - First and most likely last release.
INSTALLATION:
- install SoC 1.0004 and AMK 1.4(.1) Autumn Edition 3.0/3.1;
- unpack the archive and put gamedata to the game directory X:\...\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl;
- agree with files overwriting;
please restore the AA2.1 soundtrack too. Running through SoC so many times and listening to the same ambient music over and over again can get very monotone and to be honest i didn't mind the new music AA2.1 added. i actually liked some of them quite a bit.
also don't remove music like you did with crimson_4 just because you didn't like it. if you don't like something remove it from your personal game folder but keep it in the release.
Thanks for comment. I can do it easily, but I need to finish my current project.
I know that I was not the only one who did not like crimson_4 — it did not fit the AA theme at all, so I decided to delete. Maybe I’ll upload a “full” version soon.
