VANILLA REPLAY ADDON MOVES TO THE NEXT GAME OF THE S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SERIES!
With the current version of VRA for Shadow of Chernobyl being in a state where the gameplay, visuals, sounds and overall experience are at a satisfactory level and can fit majority of players' tastes I decided that I need to move on and bring the same experience into the next two entries in the STALKER Series.
In the past few months while working on VRA for Shadow of Chernobyl I have also worked on and off on testing and modding parts of both Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat. In it's current state Call of Pripyat is a complete mess but Clear Sky has started shaping into at least a playable project.
As of 14.04.2024 and onwards I will commit my free time working on Vanilla Replay Addon: Clear Sky.
Of course I will keep active on the moddb page for VRA - ShoC but unless there is an urgent need for a fix or patch I will not be adding anything new including no new addons.
Sadly I cannot confirm any release date for VRA: Clear Sky but I hope to have a stable and mostly polished version at least at the end of June so from the time I am writing this article I have about two months to fulfil that promise.
Not much else can be said, but for me it was important to announce that the journey with revamping the STALKER games will not end at Shadow of Chernobyl.
As a small teaser, you can find two screenshots (one from Cordon and one from Marsh) with how VRA: Clear Sky currently looks in it's development state.
All the best from me, and as always: GOOD HUNTING STALKER!
CORDON
MARSH
This is version of the mod which combines the base mod with all patches, fixes and addons together.
A small fix for Regular "Vanilla Replay Addon - Final" and for HD Patch for "Vanilla Replay Addon - Final".
This patch is designed for people who would like to have modern quality of models, textures and sounds for NPCs and Weapons. I strongly recommend it as...

OpenAL32.dill not found:( Both in All-In-One and when I install all by myself ;/
when i copy / cut and paste OpenAl32.dill from bin folder to bin_x64 i got 0xc000007b error (app wasn't properly run)
You do put the game into the main directory of shadow of chernobyl steam version right? It's a mod and I havent supplied a full repack that also has the base game.
I figured it out. OpenAl reinstall was the key.
1. Btw, how to turn OFF breathing sound in All-In-One?
This mod is awesome.
2. Could you do polish version? On steam, in vanilla there's russian voice acting with polish voice-over. In your english version, there is no russian. Changing eng to pl in Steam messes up with settings and item description :(
There are several files that add new text which I have translated to english amd russian as I speak both languages I will make a localization patch to cover all steam languages. For breathing sound
Download the standalone versiom of dynamic hud in the addons and copy the bind_stalker.script file from the folder where that only adds the gasmasks and paste into gamedata\scripts (accepting replacing the original file) i can make a patch to make the breatinga selectable option I guess
