English machine translation (with a bit fixing) for Rerum addon.
Rerum is an unnoficial storyline addon for Dead Air released 6 july 2019. Also bundles some visual and gameplay changes. It's not an official Dead Air release, it's and addon made by Ed777 & Kramer.
A good summary about RERUM (in russian) is here: ap-pro.ru post or stalker-mods.su entry. And you could watch an explanation in this video (with english subtitles): Youtube.com
It's a machine translation, so obviously expect errors and some strange phrases, but at least we could play. It's recommended to had played Dead Air and know the STALKER lore basics, for "undestand" some strange translations. I tested a bit, I think it's playable, test yourself.
I translated all files via scripting, remove the un-needed ones (for let the official eng translation work), batch fixes for some errors and also included the encyclopedia files in auto-eng (that official eng tr. doesn't).
Updated until "6 july 2019" + fix1 version.
Installation:
- Install Dead Air 0.98b.
- Install Rerum addon over it (torrent download here).
- Check and install Rerum fixes (on vk.com/cramergame - actually this translation is made with "fix 1" - mirror for non-yandex). Fixes that doesn't change lang files ("rus" folder) could work ok anyways.
- Now download and install (uncompressing) the official Dead Air 0.98b english translation (from moddb or github).
- Download and install (uncompressing) this translation.
- Done!

We had a lot of questions about the various events in the zone. Time after time playing in the modification we built our own chronology of events in the zone and wanted to show you this in this add-on. Addon includes a lot of stories, stories, tip-offs from familiar characters, in addition to changes in the visual and gameplay components of the modification "DEAD AIR".
Thank you! Much appreciated.
I just started Dead Air, would you recommend Rerum for a first playthrough?
Shovelled Rather not. It is not polished yet and looks like a bunch of raw ideas. I would suggest starting with vanilla dead air. It has a lot of things to do. + machine translation is always a thing. Combination of machine and human translation (vanilla DA) + some new custom addons might ruin the first impression.
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll leave Rerum for my 2nd playthrough.
The download link does not open.
In your opinion, which one is better, this or the rebalance mod?
Edit: vk.vom is blocked in here (?!) and I got the link from mod's page Stalker-mods.su
Is this mod makes some npc invincible? This is the only mod I install in dead air and now I cant kill the 2 bandits in garbage, I think its the doctor and other bandit dude. Cant I fix it by changing some .ini files?
SO I tried this and so far its alright, the english is rather broken and barely understandable at times but as a Canadian who only speaks english (and I'm currently roleplaying as my self in game) I'd like to think that either the people's english is so bad in the Zone or they're using their PDA's/Phones for translation which tends to spit out garbage sometimes (Though google translate seems to make understandable RUS to ENG translations these days)
I wonder if there will be more work done on this to fix up the english, I'd help but it'd seem its everywhere with every NPC. Though for now I'll tolerate it unless things make it impossible to get around and do jobs.
