Fix for no emissions after a month in-game Thread - Narodnaya Solyanka mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

Sometimes emissions, horror hours and random radio chatter can stop when the in-game date reaches June. This bug has something to do with the AMK mod, which is an integral part of NS. If you get this problem, here is a fix for it:

-Choose a quest you are about to accept or at least talk about with the quest giver (for me it was getting a pseudodog puppy for Akim).

-Accept it and note down some of the dialog.

-Go to gamedata\config\text\eng and find the file with that quest dialog in it (stable_dialogs_arhara.xml for me).

-The dialog lines have id-s, copy/remember one of them (akim_kubik_nayti_0 was mine).

-Go to gamedata\config\gameplay, and find the file that has the id in it (dialogs_arhara.xml in my case). You should see something like this (have to go to insert code snippet mode so I can post this) :

<phrase id="0">
<text>akim_kubik_nayti_0</text>
<next>1</next>
</phrase>

-Paste these three lines below the <text> ... </text> line:

<action>amk_mod.start_blow_timer</action>
<action>ex_horror.start_horror_timer</action>
<action>amk_mod.show_news</action>

For me it looked like this:

<phrase id="0">
<text>akim_kubik_nayti_0</text>
<action>amk_mod.start_blow_timer</action>
<action>ex_horror.start_horror_timer</action>
<action>amk_mod.show_news</action>
<next>1</next>
</phrase>

Go into the game, reload the save before accepting the quest, have that dialog with the quest giver, and voilá, you have the Zone in its full horrifying majesty again!

I am pussy. I don't want puppy!
