Azazel Fixes: Keep Tasks and much more + Configurable [COC 1.4.22] addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Hello fellow Stalker.
With this addon many fixes for azazel mode are included and you now can keep your tasks if you respawn as one of your squad mates or faction mate (yes you can set current faction as prefered spawn) or even never lose your tasks on death.
NEW: keep your money with squad.
NEW: extra supplies feature gives your new character some basic stuff you need.
So keep that squad number up and travel on. =)
(down below is a detailed description how the task-squad-fix can be done manually)

Thank you RenanMsV, Rol-and, strelocc, sariskhan, Debrovski for your great work.
Without you creating great addons I wouldn't have been abled to succed with all this.
And of course a huge THANK YOU to Team Epic and bitComposer Games.

How to install:

Be shure to create a BACKUP of the existing files.

Merge the gamedata folder of the mod into your gamedata folder of the installed COC game and replace the existing files.
\bitComposer Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Chernobyl\

Step by step:
place azazel_customizable.ltx in \S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Chernobyl\gamedata\configs
place azazel_mode.script in \S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Chernobyl\gamedata\scripts

How to set options:
Open azazel_customizable.ltx in your game folder and set the options you want true, and those you dont want false.

Things that still need to be fixed:

-Transfer the upgrades on outfit and weapons to the dead body of the player.
-Cancel the animation that gets transfered to new player figure.
-Implement option to check if victims location is the same as current location.

Older version / Manual Fix

Hello fellow Stalker.
With this fix to your azazel_mode.script you now can keep your tasks if you respawn as one of your squad mates.
So keep that squad number up and travel on.

As I have found no finished fix I've went and trial and errored myself to a solution.

the file I have uploaded is azazel_mode.script with:
-> only lose tasks if you can't take over a squad mate, no camera animation, no bleeding, no delay

Also this is my first time working with code..

Here it is.

see credit for different versions of Azazel mode

I am using Azazel Mode Bleeding Fix by Roll-and
but this should work with others aswell

If you don't care to much just replace azazel_mode.script with the one I have uploaded.
-> only lose tasks if you can't take over a squad mate, no camera animation, no bleeding, no delay

otherwise look into the following

open azazel_mode.script (with editor or Notepad++) (I am using Azazel Mode Bleeding Fix by Roll-and)
in
\bitComposer Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Chernobyl\gamedata\scripts\

be shure to create an backup

Replace the following lines

-- cancel all tasks
	local task_info = task_manager.get_task_manager().task_info
	local task_ini = task_manager.task_ini
	for task_id,tbl in pairs(task_info) do
		--if not (tbl.storyline) then
			tbl.forced_status = "fail"
			tbl.cancelled_by_actor = true
		--end
	end

with these lines

-- cancel all tasks if victim is no squad mate
	local task_info = task_manager.get_task_manager().task_info
	local task_ini = task_manager.task_ini
	for task_id,tbl in pairs(task_info) do
		if (#squad_mates == 0) then
			--if not (tbl.storyline) then
				tbl.forced_status = "fail"
				tbl.cancelled_by_actor = true
			--end
		end
	end

or, if you want to keep your quests no matter what, delete those lines.

Have fun =)

Explanation and how to alter it.

The line if (#squad_mates == 0) then checks a number that is written earlier in the script at:

-- find victims
	local sim = alife()
	local gg = game_graph()
	local avail_entities = {}
	local squad_mates = {}
	--local faction_mates = {}
	for i=1,65534 do 
		local se_obj = sim:object(i)
		if (se_obj and IsStalker(nil,se_obj:clsid()) and se_obj:alive() and se_obj:community() ~= "zombied" and se_obj:community() ~= "trader" and se_obj.group_id ~= 65535) then
			if (IsSurvivalMode() or get_object_story_id(se_obj.group_id) == nil) then
				if (axr_companions.companion_squads[se_obj.group_id]) then 
					table.insert(squad_mates,se_obj.id)
				--elseif (se_obj:community() == character_community(db.actor):sub(7)) then 
					--table.insert(faction_mates,se_obj.id)
				else
					table.insert(avail_entities,se_obj.id)
				end
			end
		end
	end
-- prior for victim is squad or faction or other

these lines write the id of the available victim into:

        local avail_entities = {}
	local squad_mates = {}
	--local faction_mates = {}

note that -- prior for victim is in this order: squad or faction or other

if there is no squad mate: squad_mates = {} will be 0

note the check for faction_mate has been removed by --

so if you want your azazel_mode.script to also check for faction mates nearby as victim the code has to look like this

[Edit: in the original Azazel mode was an error with checking faction, I think I have fixed that]

-- find victims
	local sim = alife()
	local gg = game_graph()
	local avail_entities = {}
	local squad_mates = {}
	local faction_mates = {}
	for i=1,65534 do 
		local se_obj = sim:object(i)
		if (se_obj and IsStalker(nil,se_obj:clsid()) and se_obj:alive() and se_obj:community() ~= "zombied" and se_obj:community() ~= "trader" and se_obj.group_id ~= 65535) then
			if (IsSurvivalMode() or get_object_story_id(se_obj.group_id) == nil) then
				if (axr_companions.companion_squads[se_obj.group_id]) then 
					table.insert(squad_mates,se_obj.id)
				elseif (se_obj:community() == db.actor:character_community():sub(7)) then 
					table.insert(faction_mates,se_obj.id)
				else
					table.insert(avail_entities,se_obj.id)
				end
			end
		end
	end

theoretically if you did add facti> with the code above back in, you should be abled to alter the code to only lose your tasks if your victim is not a faction mate

with this:

-- cancel all tasks if victim is no faction mate
	local task_info = task_manager.get_task_manager().task_info
	local task_ini = task_manager.task_ini
	for task_id,tbl in pairs(task_info) do
		if (#squad_mates == 0) and (#faction_mates == 0) then
			--if not (tbl.storyline) then
				tbl.forced_status = "fail"
				tbl.cancelled_by_actor = true
			--end
		end
	end

Thank you.
