The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.

Description

Alternate, bigger fake_start map that you can visit by pressing F2 when in main menu, in debug mode, and don't have a save loaded ("new game" button availible). I did not make it, i got it from the anomaly discord. Apparently, the map was made by Vehtam for Meatchunk. NPCs only work in the starting square that has 4 brick cubes on it. Install like any other add-on

Meatchunk created the map, I believe.

I have always seen this test map and wondered how to have it.....
As it is for testing, will it load faster?...

hahaha, this old gem :)

Vehtam (from our team) made it, not me.

The backstory behind it: Long ago I asked Vehtam if he could give me a fake_start map with some basic buildings on it because I was working on lightmaps to improve interior lighting and needed a small map to do tests on because compiling the normal, larger maps takes anywhere from 4-27 hours on my PC at the time. This let me test lightmap stuff in about 10mins.

The Meatchunk statue was a little gift he added as a joke :)

All props to Vehtam for doing this map,
