This assembly (OLD GOOD DEAD AIR) returns to us THE SAME DEAD AIR version 0.98a (not to be confused with 0.98b), with THE SAME "SOAP GRAPHICS" loved by many, and also adds some unofficial innovations such as the ability to choose to start for any grouping , new shooting sounds, open reticle, as well as new hand models for Zarya and ChN-1 armor. In addition, military trade fixes and other bug fixes of the original game are included in the assembly through the Mod Manager, including a fix for crashes when using static lighting (static render), and in addition, summer vegetation is optionally added to the assembly through the Mod Manager.
List of changes in OLD GOOD DEAD AIR compared to DEAD AIR version 0.98b (in general, the mod turned out to be more hardcore):
1. The assembly is based on an older build (0.98a) and all the differences are related to the older build of the game:
1) Another shader (graphics is lighter, sunny, "golden", "soapy" (in a good sense of the word));
2) Slightly different design of some parts of some locations
(Army warehouses, Dark Valley, Dark Hollow, Swamps, Agroprom, Bar and Wild Territory).
For example, in the TD, the passage to the second floor from the side where Borov sits is boarded up, in the Bar some basements are flooded with water, etc.
3) There is no strength band on backpacks;
4) Another portable weight and stamina for the GG (the interface does not display the weight threshold at which the GG can move);
5) Another voice acting for earlier and receiving damage;
6) The main FOV of the game affects the HUD FOV (weapon) of the player;
7) Weapon malfunctions are not included in the repair price;
8) Another reputation system: For the death of a partner in a friendly (non-quest) squad, a reputation penalty is not imposed;
9) Technicians and doctors can be taken to the squad;
10) Restriction on downloading the game in the "preservation by the fires" mode.
11) Changes in the original summer vegetation pack (there are much more trees in the locations);
12) Changes in the assortment of merchants "Freedom", "Debt" and "Environmentalists";
13) Increased characteristics of the chimera;
14) Increased the probability of the appearance of artifacts and the effectiveness of the skill "geologist";
15) There is a dependence of the inertia of the sight on psi-health;
16) There is a reset of the contents of boxes and mutants on reboot;
17) Changed vigilance NPC;
18) There is an increase in drowsiness when loading the game (does not work if you turn off the "need for sleep");
19) Other system of energy consumption;
20) Another fall damage and another dependence on equipment;
21) Another algorithm for the appearance of malfunctions in weapons;
22) Recently picked up items are not displayed in the lower left corner (you will have to look into the inventory for this);
23) The light of the headlamp with the "energy consumption" option turned off becomes very weak over time.
24) Etc. etc. In general, this earlier build of DE differs from 0.98b in being more hardcore.
It will be more difficult to play - but also more interesting.
In addition, the following addons have been added to the assembly:
1) Improved stamina, carry weight and reduced damage from radiation;
2) Open sighting reticles (mostly from Irina, but there are also from Rerum);
3) Ability to select a grouping at the start of the game;
4) Icons of Dragomir (in packages) for meat and parts of mutants;
5) Fix for static rendering;
6) Fix for repair with a hammer;
7) Fix Svarog;
8) Fix trade military + Forester + Hawaiian;
9) New hands for body armor Zarya and ChN-1;
10) Transparent masks + new shooting sounds;
11) Fixed departure in x-8, etc.
12) Fast travel to locations (Fast travel);
13) Durability for shotguns and snipers;
14) Demo record for the j button (to use it, you need to write "-dbg" in the label properties (without quotes and after a space)).The mods are numbered from 1 to 14 and I advise you to put them (activate) in the same order (from 1 to 14).
Is this english translated? And Also is this a one to one upload of the assembly or have you done any tweaks to it.
Also glad people still love DEAD AIR.
For this game, any translation made for the 0.98b version of DA is suitable, since they are identical in dialogue and plot. The differences are mainly graphical and gameplay in nature.
Thanks

Describe in detail: how did you install the game? This game does not require a 0.98в build - did you use it?
I checked like this: 1) I downloaded the game from the link. 2) Unpacked the archive with the game. 3) Unpacked the archive "0.98a". 4) Unpacked the archive "Dead Air.7z". 5) Launched the application "xrEngine" in the unpacked folder "Dead Air.7z". Outcome: The game has started. No "system.ltx" required me. 6) I unpacked the "Addons+Fixes" archive. 7) I copied the files "MODS", "JSGME.exe" and "JSGME.lng" in the unpacked folder "Addons + fixes" and put them in the root of the folder with the installed game (folder "Dead Air.7z"=>"Dead Air" ). 8) I ran the "JSGME.exe" file and activated all 14 addons in there in order. 9) I ran the "xrEngine" application again in the unpacked "Dead Air.7z" folder. Outcome: The game has started. No "system.ltx" required me. Everything works if installed correctly. Modification DOES NOT REQUIRE the game Dead Air 0.98b .
see this link:

that's the error.
What's up here Drive.google.com ? If the mod is uploaded to Moddb.com ??
no... its a picture of the error i have with the game ... the error i mentioned earlier.
it says "no access"
Drive.google.com
see this one.
When you click on what does this error occur? Did you install the program following the instructions above?
I may have found what is wrong with you. The file name "0.98a" contains the Russian letter "a". Try changing it to the English "a" by renaming the file. And then reinstall the game again.

thanks so much bro it's fixed now... a question though;can i install DEAD AIR addons on this?
Not all. But what, yes. Try to activate add-ons through the Mod Manager. If something goes wrong, you can always deactivate the problematic addon.
do you know of any guide article about that by any chance man?
No article. Most addons were made for the 0.98b build, not the 0.98a build. Therefore, whether they will work for you is unknown and you put them at your own peril and risk. The mod already contains 14 (15) addons, which were either specially made for build 0.98a or were adapted for this build, tested and recognized as working.
so 0.98a is much more fun or 0.98b ?
0.98a hardcore
Very interesting find. Will give this a try very shortly. Thanks for sharing : )
Edit: ''Ability to select a grouping at the start of the game''. So, if i play as a Merc or some other faction can the storyline get started.?
Edit 2: Thnx bro, i am really n'joying the game so far.Hardcore ouuF.!!
Сюжетная линия будет та же: "Тайна Зоны".
some english setup loader ? cant read herogyphics, sorrs.
