Replaces world textures with classic Call of Pripyat / Call of Chernobyl textures. (Potato friendly)
Save some ram and feel nostalgic with this classic texture pack. Items, NPCs and weapons are not affected. Tested with 1.5.2 and working.
After installing don't forget to edit your user.ltx inside appdata folder and change "r2_parallax_h 0" to "r2_parallax_h 0.02" or else your textures will look flat!
All textures used are potato friendly and should decrease memory usage. I also edited the new 1.5.1 ground textures for better performance and looks, this improved the weird repeating patterns on the ground and made the colors fit together. With v0.4 all world textures are finally restored.
Changelog:
v0.2
- Fixed contrast and color of the main ground and grass textures (now blend better with the environment)
- Added some missing water textures
- Added optional Classic Terrain addon (brings a familiar warmth back)
v0.3
- Fixed missing khrushchyovka bump maps in Dead City
- Fixed blinding bright tree textures in Red Forest (was a temporary fix)
- Restored iconic ground texture in Yantar
- Restored old rocky cliff textures in Radar
- Added missing Agroprom and Zaton Classic Terrain textures
- Added optional Classic Grass addon (complete grass overhaul, trees not affected)
- Added optional Yellow Reeds textures for original Great Swamp and Zaton look
v0.4
- Restored Yantar and Red Forest ground textures
- Restored old rock textures for cliffs and stones on all levels
- Added optional Classic Foliage addon (complete foliage overhaul, carefully balanced to fit with anomaly levels and still look like CoP, also uses less memory of course)

Classic Terrain, Grass and Foliage addons are fully independent and come in db format. You can use them alone or mix them with vanilla textures if you wish, have fun!
P.S. For those looking to further restore the classic Call of Pripyat / Call of Chernobyl look I recommended using this together with Extended Draw Distance addon for added clarity and immersion: Moddb.com and Classic Clouds: Moddb.com

Man you beat me to it. I was thinking about doing something like this the other day. Great stuff dude and thanks for this. My rose tinted glasses are clean now.
Does it improve load times and stuttering?
Yes.
is my impression or Anomaly did trade a lot of old good stalker parallax vanilla textures with just flat textures?
ps: someone should do a 2k-4k texture AI upscaled
Parallax is disabled by default and most new textures look like a mix of ai upscale and god knows what. Considering the scope of upscaling, anomaly devs managed to retain the OG look rather well actually. Still after playing with old textures even with lower res it just clicks better, kind of hard to beat the original GSC vision.
Just installed it, saw no glitches or anything, thanks! i think the game loads faster on my potato.
fps up?
Certainly not down, it uses less ram.
Good L-rd! Thank you, sir, for this great addon! I didn't realize how the original terrain colours and such used to hurt my eyes (proud potato user) until I installed your textures. Thank you!
i wanna kiss you
pls kiss me uwu
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it possible to release a non .db version? The classic road texture looks like melting chocolate with nuts inside and I'm not a big fan, thus I'd like to keep Anomaly road textures. I am interested in seeing all the classic building textures and object textures again though.
Thank you.
just use the anomaly unpacker Moddb.com
extract the .db file and delete ground file, then place all the things you like inside gamedata
Thanks, cheers.
Hello, I unpacked the tool to remove the ground texture.
I was wondering how to repack it back into .db0 and wanted to know the difference between using the /mods folder versus the /addons folder in /db
Very late
I think that everything in db has more priority than everything in gamedata
Are in your plan take textures from Clear Sky for location from that part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
Oh yes, thanx for original terrain, location have so much better look with it.
Perfect.
i noticed that you added the old classic water element so i should ask, is this update compatible with this graphic shader? in particular with water surfaces Moddb.com
It should, it's just textures.
LOL the Classic looks a lot better beautiful
Thank you
You are a GOD among plebs. Thanks a lot, I just love it.
Got a massive fps boost from these textures. Also made me feel hella nostalgic too. Thank you so much for this!!
Good for some nostalgic feelings or just if your PC is old, low-end etc..
Gool texture pack waiting for grass change, original anomaly grass looks terrible
Thanks for grass change, great work!
Thank you for this addon
Man, this is just great. Using this texture pack (Classic terrain and grass) + Back to the roots models has made the game run above 30fps with grass enabled (size 1, distance 90) on a goddamn Intel Celeron G530 with integrated graphics on DX8 mode. I can't thank you enough for this!
Still, the biggest FPS killer for me has always been the trees, and some stalkers textures as well. Is there any chance that we might have an update that adds the classic trees? Regardless of that, amazing work you've done for us potato users. :)
Try with autumn dark textures, i got a give up fps boost with that
I'm looking to complete all world textures, it's time consuming with new custom 1.5.1 trees and textures but it will get released soon.
back to roots models works on 1.5.1 ??
Thanks a lot! Now my 6 gb ram can run jupiter :)
Спасибо большее. У меня игра полетела на сверхскорости ! Даже поднял в настройках параметры графики.

Beautiful! Bit it Is compatible with "Anomaly for potatoes v1.4 addon"?
I don't know, probably.
A true lifesaver for ppl like me with low spec hardware!
Edit: if possible, can you make the tree leaves have a lower resolution like the grass and foliage in your mod? If yes, I'll be forever gratefull
All textures are already resized from anomaly 4096/2048 to original CoP 1024/512 resolutions.
The Anomaly team did a great job with the textures, but there is something appealing about the old textures. Maybe it's just nostalgia. It's good to have the option, so thanks :)
Great addon! +100! You can also compress the textures of the new trees a bit so that they look more like the original ones from Call of Pripyat.
By the way, how about the idea to make another add-on, focused on the complete recreation of the graphic and, perhaps, even the weather atmosphere of "Shadows of Chernobyl". The most atmospheric and, in a good way, gloomy game from the trilogy.
(auto-translate)
I support! The best atmosphere in terms of sounds, music, campfire anecdotes, NPC visuals, interface and graphics were in "Shadow of Chernobyl". And I myself love add-ons that bring back something from the "Shadow of Chernobyl" piece by piece.
already attempted but never finished

You can try the beta here: Mediafire.com
It's a copy of 24 hour cycle same as SoC. Nothing fancy though, no custom weather states yet.
Oh wow, you actually tried to bring ShoC "feel" to Anomaly. Seems like quite demanding task to even do something like that, but holy **** that would be my wet dream come true. No other stalker game/mod ever came close to the gloomy ShoC atmosphere, even with its low res textures and all.
Nice addon, thanks!
It's definitely better than the one in The Anomaly. Classics are immortal!
i wish i can play stalker anomaly just vanilla old good stalker weapons with texture and models like stalker call of chernobyl
i can feel the glorious nostalgia with this, thanks comrade!!
