How to install Anomaly Repack Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Download

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Repack is now hosted on MODDB and the files can be found on these posts in the files section: "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Repack 1.3.1 Part 1" and "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Repack 1.3.1 Part 2". Read the description in that download post carefully to avoid mistakes when you install the repacked version.

Official Updates

The latest officially released update can always be found in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Repack Updates". They should be stable and if there is a newer version than the latest Update Preview, do not install an older Update Preview on top of a newer Official Update. Newer Updates can always be installed on top of older updates.

Installing

Create a new directory, for example "C:\Games\Anomaly" and unpack both parts into that directory. If everything worked as intended, you should have around 17.2 GB of unpacked files.

Update Previews

Currently Update 1.3.1 is the latest, there are no newer Update Previews right now.

Update previews are beta versions of upcoming updates. They are still recommended to use unless the update notes say otherwise.

I found a bug, if you double click on the Paper with Equipment Stats that you sometimes get when spawning in, the whole thing shuts down. This only happened once so far, but I only did it once as well. Gonna try it out again and see if it happens again. No crash report came up either to tell me where it went wrong, the whole thing just collapsed. Happened on the newest Update Preview, so 1.0.4.

Yep it happened again. Exact same thing. And it wasn't the Paper with Equipment Stats. It was the Paper with Equipment Condition. Excuse me on that part, don't want to give out false info

Please report it in a separate post on the support board of the forum. This post is not a good place for bug reports.

Why does it say it's .002 file type? It wont let me extract it..

Open the file that ends in .7z.001 with 7zip and unpack it into a new, empty directory. It should automatically unpack all 6 parts and you'll end up with a directory containing around 17GB of data. Do not change any file names and have all parts (.7z.001 to .7z.006)in the same directory, next to each other, when you do it. The files ending in .7z.002 to .7z.006 can't be opened on their own, they'll be included in the process automatically.

Ah I see. I didnt realize you only needed to extract the first part, I apologize. BTW, the game feels like a brand new game, very well done.

Where is the minimap addon download that was in the previous thread?

I'll update the Minimap addon and the Anomalies addon later today or tomorrow. Right now I'm invited to a dinner and I'll take that as a welcome break from working on Anomaly during almost all my free time

In the meanwhile you can use Optional Tweak: HUD - Enable Minimap from TRX: Fixes 'n' Tweaks - it's compatible and seems to be future proof. I'm using it, no problems.

Thanks I will give it a try.

if i instaled the anomoly repack do i need to instal preview 1.08 ?
what version is anomoly repack out of the box ?
will i wreck my game if i nstal update previews over top of the repack ?

It's highly recommended to use the Update Previews, so yes, install 1.0.8.

The repack is (of course) version 1.0.0 out of the box

Updates are usually safe to install. In very rare cases an update might require a new game, but that didn't happen for any update so far. You can make a backup of "appdata\savedgames" if you want to be extra careful.

If we could get an addon that can change the rate of the time of day that would be great. I played for six hours today and only got to experience on emission. Plus, having to eat and drink with the current rate of time feels a bit to slow.

For me this is one of the only survival experiences that seems to get eating and drinking right. For example, in DayZ you need to eat or drink once every half hour or so which really kills the immersion. The Long Dark is like this too. Having to only eat and drink a few times a day in Anomaly is one of my favorite things because it feels much more true to life. I love it. If it is changed I hope it’s optional.

I've read the install instructions thoroughly but I'm still unsure if it's safe to install the new update preview over the official update pack? Thanks for any help given.

If an update has a higher version than another update, it can be installed on top of it. Going back to an older update is usually a more complicated thing to do.

Ok Thank you I understand. Thanks for the help and your modding efforts ☺

Would it be possible to add the heavy SEVA suit to this mod? Can't find it anywhere and am looking for a OP armor set. Maybe make it found at CNPP or something?

Installed 1.1.6 preview thanks Which settings in advanced graphics options effects bloom?

I dont want to brag air, this dead air that, but have you considered trying to update graphic with some things that will enchance immersion like volumetric fog, light, and particles?

I think we can expect some things like that since he said that after he play DA and the other mod with faction wars he will decide but before that he gained himself a task to work on stability and I thing with latest update he achieved that so who knows. It´s a shame that I know a shit about stalker modding If I knew i would at least try to port something by myself and if that was usable I think Searge would added that to official release not just the addon. What I wanted to say is that I would like to encourage people who can do that to try to improve this mod like Searge could work on improving the stability and engine and somebody else could add new stuff.

I already tried but it is beyond my stalker moding reasoning.

I downloaded shaders from DA and just paste them to Anomaly but then, weapons are not visible, doors and so on, probably more of that that I could test it.

I hope seargedp will consider "upgrading" it to volumetric particles, light and fog. That fog in DA is just WOW when you move throught it when it comes to immersion.

Yeah indeed it is a nice feature but bear in mind that anomaly is a hell a lot stable than DA just wait some more time and you will see, stalker is a type of game where you can let it go for some time and after some time the game itself will call for new playthrough I have that for ten years.

You missunderstood me, I am not asking for less stability, I know stalker universe and it's mods for ten years too.

I am just asking Searg if he will consider putting it in, it is his mod and he will know if it will break stability or will it be hard to make it stable with those options. Not to mention is the hard work (and knowledge) of putting that features in, is worth it in the end. Also I am playing Anomaly from the minute it was released so I know how stable it is and how it developed greatly.

I am a bit confused as to of your syntax in the Software versioning of STALKER Anomaly. The latest official released version of STALKER Anomaly is 1.2.0, but your experimental builds are 1.1.5 and 1.1.6, wouldn't it make more sense for these experimental builds to be 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 respectively? Some people may get confused about which is the newest version of the mod with your current syntax.
