Call of The Zone is a standalone modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – Call of Pripyat that allows you to explore the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – a desolate and highly contaminated region of Ukraine that has been abandoned and closed off for decades ever since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. What has been going on in this irradiated wasteland since then? There are no shortage of rumors and conspiracy theories, each more fantastic than the last. Rumors of mutated wildlife, brainwashed cults, secret experiments, and unexplainable paranormal events abound, as do promises of great riches and wildest dreams coming true for those who are daring or desperate enough to try to break through the cordon. You are about to find out for yourself what is true and what is yet undiscovered, and experience for yourself all the Zone has to offer... or to take from you.

Minimap counter quits working w Mugging gear taken

I use the minimap alot, that means the cirlce thingy in the upper lefthand corner which gives an overhead view of where I'm at on the map locally, keeps track of the time, friendlies nearby (enemy disabled in mapspots file), sound detector and personnel counter.

Oddly, I noticed that after getting mugged, the counter stops working. It no longer counts nearby people and only shows squad leader friendlies on the minimap.
With further observation, this happens only the mugging is allowed to take gear (default setting).
If the theft of gear is disallowed in the mugging, then afterwards, the minimap behaves as normal.
Theft of money only from the mugging does not affect the minimap.

This seems to occur with any minimap mod added.

Since DocX does not come "out of the box" with a minimap, it was a non -issue.
However, I wanted to fool with the mugging a bit more to allow very few items to be taken,
(which works)but exclude it affecting the minimap.
Save/reload, moving to another area does not seem to bring back the counter.

Since they do not share the same files, I cannot figure out why the minimap counter would be affected when items are removed from inventory like that, but NOT affected when money is taken.

Any Ideas?
Thanks
