READ THE DESCRIPTION, Hand-Machine Translation for the Russian Mod Dead Air: Rebalance
Photo uses People Addon
D.A.R. Translation Test Version
Holy! Over 50+ hours of work in two weeks went into this behemoth of a russian mod, translated over 1.5mb of new text, this might look very tiny, but to put this in perspective, Call of Chernobyl Text files Are 1.14mb, so there's plenty of new stuff on it.
Why test version?
So, my english isn't the best, i would like to get feedback on some grammar on the notes and typos i could had when i translated them, you might also see ALL CAPS notes on some things like quests or texts, mainly because i didn't really understood what the mod was trying to say, so i would like you guys to give me some feedback on texts, and if you can, send the fixed text to me, nonetheless, the mod is 99% translated in english (there probably are some lines i passed by accident), if you find anyhing in russian send me a photo of the thing or explain what's the issue, thanks to everyone for the support! Revolution Comes next! next year probably. This was very tiring.
Addons are now included on the download
UPDATE 7 REQUIRES A NEW GAME, MORE INFO ON THE README FILE
What should i know of before getting into the mod?
DON'T FORGET TO READ THE ENCYCLOPEDIA, First step, it explains what has been added to the mod.
Read, READ! i spent a lot of time translating tons and tons of new texts, notes, quests, objects, and by the looks of it, you really have to read on some stuff to don't get lost on the game's new lore, also, this mod gives the game a very linear approach, you start with no transitions and you can deactivate it, but what's the fun on that? it deletes a lot of starting quests, also, if you want you can buy magnetic keycards (I don't know why keycards) from different traders, these will give you acess to new routes, you can also buy routes from snitch.
Also, don't get scared by the economy, i know that a 30k normal backpack might look exaggerated but i'm pretty sure it's easier to make money on this mod, you also run faster.
Also, i know that this isn't possible for us english speakers, but some things are from the books, you can learn about some legends with snitch if you want.
So, What does it add?
- New unique storylines, probably over 40 new unique quests
- New unique characters
- New stash locations
- A lot of notes spared on the world
- New lore
- New guns
- New suits
- New artifacts
- The Ability to choose any faction like Call of Chernobyl comes back
- And more! i don't want to spoil it for you guys and gals, sadly i've read everything on the mod so i kind of know everything about it.
Does It remove anything?
Sadly, yes.
- Can't change player's name.
- Perks are apparently random, no more only perks starts.

Some of my favorite storylines of the mod:
DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SPOILED BY ANY MEANS
- Roots and the second part, Rotten Roots: a questline about Clear Sky's old member, Lebedev
- The Death Lamp: an almost fantastic story about an artifact so deadly that it can kill a stalker only by holding it.
- Baptism by fire: A questline about how mercenaries treat their initiates.
- On the road: A questline about treasons and searching of a legendary stalker.
- Resident Evil: A questline about the search of the legendary "Item 62"
- For Science!: A questline that shows the ethics and humanity of the ecologists.
- And More, There are plenty of stories on papers and diares around the world

Known Issues
If anyone has problems looking for Ivan Trodnik's Stash, here's a vid Youtube.com
I tried to explain it on the mod but it still is a hard stash. Original mod only says on a branchy tree
Finally someone translated this. THANK YOU!
not exactly, they refer to item repairs, those files are there probably for revisions, you can find other files like these ones in line 5182 of st_dialogs_nql, if you check the id of the string you can see that they are repeated later, the "!--" makes the code appear grey, hence why they are not being read, but thanks for taking your time looking for this, i also am scratching my head with this problem.
Nope, this is a russian mod based on DA 0.98b, there's a new one called Dead Air: Revolution that is also based on this same version, if you are interested in The new Dead Air Version they uploaded three new videos here

For some reason I keep getting the same error everytime I try to start a new game.

OK, at 1st load im getting the 'artifact_angel_?' texture crash. Any help?
AH, ok. Did the restart and worked. thanks guyz!
Anyone else getting crashes when opening the debug menu? It's 100% reproducible on my end, which means I can't access the debug menu at all.
how can I enable the option ''Money from the PDA of the fallen''?

Ok, I'm trying to do the bandit storyline right now but I can't progress since I don't know where I'm supposed to be going in order to search for clues. It tells me to go to a cementary by the "thorns". Does anyone know what that means? I went back to the flea market and found a "thorn" artifact along with some basic tools, is that what it's referring to?
Also, why are the dark valley bandits hostile to me? Is it story related or is my game bugged?
Sorry about being so vague sometimes on the translation, i'd recommend to look for russian playtroughs and see if you can find the fix to the problem, and if i can add something to the text to be more descriptive be free to tell me.
eh no problem, I started the merc's questline instead. Still, are the storylines for other factions this short? Was the third quest about defending the city against mutants the last one or am I supposed to go elsewhere to find more? I got the "SWAT" knife and apparently it ends there.
i think it is, the mod adds small stories spread around all the factions, not that big, Clear Sky and Loners being probably the most extensive, the mod doesn't only do that tough, revolution probably adds more.
Revolution? Is that an addon or a storyline?
Hey, thank you for translating this.
Is there any way to have magazines in this?
not that i know, it has a text file for magazines but i think that it hasn't been implemented
Hey guys! sorry for not solving the angel artifact crash on the mod, i am not on home right now so i can't check it, i deleted some comments to clean a little bit, remember that if you have any suggestions don't hesitate to message me so i can add them, also, ecologists can't be played without open transitions, it seems to be a known bug.
goodbye and have fun playing the mod!
What is "People Addon" and where do I find it? Google is giving me nothing.
edit: Nevermind, asked before I downloaded and didn't know it's included
Question, is this compatible with THAP? Moddb.com
No, because it adds more suits, i don't think too many mods work with this modification, maybe some sound ones but it still made a lot of changes, you can try, maybe it works for some suits but the mod added a lot of new suits.
Doing the mission for sidor that has you collecting documents from apc in darkscape, met pin killed boar, now the mission wont progress when we go to sawmill, also gonta and crew were wiped out by bandits and mercs at sawmill. is pin supposed to die cause he was cutting into sidors action?
I haven't tested myself but only way of knowing something would be to ask on the vk page of rebalance
I posted the solution some comments above :)
EDIT: oh it got deleted..infront of the east entrance from the sawmill theres some restrictor u have to move on with pin and then he has a new dialogue.
Does anyone know b to pass the ACP mission in dark scape? The only thing I find is the ACP and the dead military man next to it, but nothing else ...
Where do I get the people addon and the garbage pack?
They're inside it says on the description, i think you should install only people, Gargabe pack is kind of bad in my opinion.
I have a small problem, when installing it, nothing is added basically, neither the items of the character setup objects, nor the startup background, nor anything, and I have installed it well. What can it be?
PS: It crashes every time I install the Garbage Addon or the People Addons.
install D.A.R. from the mediafire on the db folder.
I have one issue with the translation. What am I supposed to do after hunting the green boar to get the documents for Sid from the broken down BTR in the darkscape?
I think you need to go to the sawmill and enter through the east entrance, after that the guy should tell you where's the tablet
Does anyone know how to pass the ACP mission in dark scape? The only thing I find is the ACP and the dead military man next to it, but nothing else ...
has anybody found the scout for duty in the skinner mission kill dark valley pseudogiant? i found a duty corpse at south farm where mission described but he doesnt have anything mission related on him :C
I know this is kinda stupid, but does anyone knows the stash location in the mission "Tutorial: Find the hidden place and bring detector"? I just seemingly cannot find one containing it.
Guys i'd recommend to wait for Revolution, i'm starting testing so it should be out in around a week.
Great ! :)
Does anyone know how to pass the ACP mission in dark scape? The only thing I find is the ACP and the dead military man next to it, but nothing else ...
He spawns up the road or near the apc run towards the gunfire
Hello,
I have great trouble getting this mod started. It crashes on different things.
The last crash involved is about the item manager.
I tried the peoples addon and it crashes about a missing animation.
When enabling garbage mod it crashed on the startup with the error note cant open the artifact angel.
Allready done 2 downloads and 2 installations. Currently I am trying the DAR whiteout garbage and people addon.
Has anyone an Idea what to do?
Any help would be great.
Hi all,
I think the addon or maybe the update 7 has any problem. I have a working dead air installation but when I install rebalance following the order instructions, dead air just crash at launch. (not using people and garbage addons).
I see the error trace,
-----loading c:\program files (x86)\dead air\gamedata\configs\system.ltx
