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

An addon that aims to ramp up the creepiness of Stalker Anomaly - this addon will be updated as I make more audio.

Спасибо, братан! Это тот же звук, что и раньше (чтобы оставаться верным оригиналу), но теперь он звучит так, как будто голос звучит у вас в голове.

I compared the mod files with the vanilla files in winmerge. That's the only things changed so I guess it will be good :)

Can you make an adaptation for Soundscape Overhaul? I tried to do it myself, but there was a problem with the thunderbolts.ltx file.

Thanks to the help of tcmx, I've included an option patch for the addon. If you redownload the addon, just copy the gamedata file in the patch folder over to the base game.

Not yet unfortunately - there are still issues with that framework. Hopefully I'll be able to hook them into arszi's psy meter so that they play when the players psy health is low.

Super gut! I like everything you showed in the videos, except the Siren for Psy Storm Alarm. Can I somehow delete the psy storm alarm from your mod before using it?

And the breathing sounds in the controller video - are they included too?

Can't wait to see this mod expanding - looks really promising!

Yeah for sure you can just remove the psy alarm in the sound folder before adding it to your load order. I also included a more traditional alarm in the files! You can rename it to match the psy alarm instead!

The complement is incredible, although I agree that the simple sound of the siren of the ancient psychological storm was much more apocalyptic and desperate giving the actor the feeling of escape, my advice is to revive that old siren that gives that particular touch to the style of Silent Hill, the rest of the complement is just gorgeous, Good job! :)

Thank you, that's very kind of you! I've included the old siren in the files (it's jus not linked to anything yet). I unfortunately didn't make an optional folder for it, but it's there and ready to go. I might be able to update the mod for those who don't know how to change it,aftwr work

So I place these in my mod manager after the SCO (Soundscape Overhaul) in the order:
1) SCO3+Addons
2) Horror_Overhaul
3) Horror_Overhaul (Soundscape 3 Patch)

Right?

Use the patch for Soundscape Overhaul only if you have the optionals thunders installed (the thunders coming with SCO3)

Game crashes when launching the game with the addon, probably conflict somewhere I don't know

Me aswell. I've narrowed it down specifically to the Soundscapes 3.0 patch that's including here in the Horror Overhaul. Running a vanilla setup with Soundscapes 3.0 > Horror Overhaul > Horror Overhaul Soundscapes 3.0 patch will cause the game to crash at start every time. Installing everything EXCEPT the patch will run the game fine (except for the soundscapes compatibility).

Crash log looks like this:

* [x-ray]: Starting Main Loop
Starting engine...

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CInifile::r_section
[error]File : Xr_ini.cpp

So he's basically added a patch for Soundscape Overhaul 3.0 that doesn't work even tho Soundscape didn't get updated since the release lmao

To be fair, the Soundscape patch is made by a separate guy that the author here included, not the main authors fault.

But I did find the fix by looking into the patch author's post history (https://www.moddb.com/members/tcmx/comments). The patch is made with having Soundscapes 3.0 optional "Stereo Thunder" installed; without it, the patch will cause crashes.
Having the mods in this order will work :
Soundscapes 3.0 main files
Soundscapes 3.0 optional Stereo Thunder addon
Desman's Horror Overhaul
Desman's Horror Overhaul Soundscapes patch

It would be nice to have in this mod's description that the Soundscapes patch has Soundscapes 3.0 Stereo Thunder Addon as a hard requirement.

Thank you Desman for this great addon :)

This fix still doesn't work, my game crashes even with the Stereo Thunder addon.
I've also DMed Desman to tell him that his addon makes my game crash, no response so I don't expect any fix soon.

Delete the scripts folder and you won't have compatibility issues. That's a temporary fix

You should give us a crash log so we can help you. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean that the patch don't work. Patch files are based on original SCOP3.0 freshly downloaded and the modifications only add some sections without even modifiying the original SCOP3.0 sections.

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote

DesmanMetzger - - 179 comments

Compatibility with other addons is never assured, especially if the author doesn't use that addon.

When I have time, I'll review where the incompatibility is. You're more than welcome to post a work around in the interim.

I just redownloaded the files, it works fine on Vanilla after more testing today, like I did several times before. Usually running it in my 150+ mods collection. I believe this is an issue between SCOP3.0 and another addon since it works on Vanilla, or installation issue, but impossible to help more or diagnose without crashlog.
