This is a re-upload of 2019 pack with fixed lighting issues.
This is the 2019 version of STARTER PACK with added goodies over the previous version. Same as before comes with a copy-paste installation and is pre-configured for the best yet closest to Vanilla experience.
This version will require a slightly beefier PC than the previous one but any more or less modern PC will handle it. For shaders to work you need to play on Full Dynamic Lightning and if your PC isn't good enough to run the game at decent framerate then just delete shaders folder from gamedata. That will make the game run without dynamic shaders but the enhanced textures will still be there. Mod comes with install instructions.
THIS IS A RE-UPLOAD OF THE SAME 2019 VERSION WITH FIXED LIGHTING ISSUES
where do I extract or copy to? what exactly is the directory?
Copy / cut "gamedata" and "bin" in the directory of Stalker SOC and copy / cut "user.ltx" (it's in "app_data" file) in "your documents" -> "Stalker-SHOC" (or the location of saves files etc) ;)
I have followed the instructions the the file and each time i try to start the game i get a bug notification and the launcher closes. Any remedy to this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm completely new to modding. When i downloaded the starter pack, a text file appears and I can't open it with notepad or anything. I thought a zipped file was supposed to appear with a readme inside. Can anyone help me with finding the readme file?
you need to download a free program called 7zip use that to unzip said file
In the file "SPv2019_Final" there is "READ ME.txt" (you need a text editor / notepad) and "INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.rtf" (Word or LibreOfficee for example can read this)
btw how use modifier correctly? I can config only few things whilst others just say that "file does not exist" and it shows what files don't exist..and indeed they don't exist anywhere in game folder.
Tried "install actor.ltx" but can't really press there anything to apply as it starts with the same "file does not exist" .... I want to change my carry weight stuff...
Yea, I've got that too. Seems broken. I had to search for the files and copy them into the locations manually, then I was able to edit them with the editor.
ZRP is configured to work with this mod correctly. Chenging or enabling some things will cause CTD.
I have a fix
You need to search and download ZRP, extract it, then do the following.
Go to \Zone Reclamation Project 1.07_R5RC\gamedata\config\creatures\optional
Copy actor.ltx.alt1 and actor.ltx.original
Go into Stalker game folder \STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl\gamedata\config\creatures\optional
Paste files here. Now you can use the modifier to edit Actor settings!
THANK YOU, it was bugging me all day trying to fix this
Hey mates I need help.
How can I remove HD models NPC from game? I need normal models.
yes pls. i want old npc and other stalkers normal looking. pls add this option for us. it's looking strange for me.
gamedata\meshes\act <- delete it
This is awesome, however I've noticed some of the shadows are stripey on some walls, and patches of ground. They also flicker as I move the character. It's not really bad, but it is a little distracting. Is this a bug, or just how it looks on an old game?
Realmente me gustó bastante, gracias :)
Is there any way to increase the grass distance?

Is there a way to tell whether or not it is working? I copied the file into the "mods" folder in the Steam local files. I have not played the game for a long time yet so I don't know if it is working correctly.

I followed the directions, Copied the new files into the game directory. When asked if I wanted to overwrite, I accepted. Everything seemed to go as intended, however the game will not start now. The splash screen comes up but crashes silently every time.
Sorry, for some reason it didn't sign me in. It was I who posted this inquiry.
Same problem here... uninstalling-reinstalling and reapplying the mod doesn't seem to work
Ditto

NB: there are thumbs.db files in textures\crete, textures\mtl, and textures\wood which caused a crash on load for me, probably because the program tried to load them as textures. After deleting them it worked fine.
can i use zrp with this

When using modifier in this mod to change ACTOR options, it is broken. You need to search and download ZRP, extract it, then do the following.
Go to \Zone Reclamation Project 1.07_R5RC\gamedata\config\creatures\optional
Copy actor.ltx.alt1 and actor.ltx.original
Go into Stalker game folder \STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl\gamedata\config\creatures\optional
Paste files here. Now you can use the modifier to edit Actor settings!
You're the man! Finally, i'm not the height of a small child! haha. Thanks bud!

Works great for me.
Zero effort way to improve vanilla.

How do you install it? i got a ctd when i try to run the game
I'm having some issues trying to implement some of the FOV presets. Where should I paste those presets to?
Also, See KrozMcD comment above if you're trying to use the modifier.exe to adjust the actor.ltx file.

I followed the instructions but for some reason my game won't start. It doesn't give any error message just that small splash image on the center of my screen and then shuts down the game.
Hi. I am using GOG version 1.0006.
After installing this modpack, as per the instructions the game won't start and instead returns this error message:
"XR_3DA.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module \S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\xrCore.dll" at 0023:00D1CC85"
I run all the latest drivers etc., followed the installation instructions carefully. Tried a bunch of different solutions from the internet (running as admin, putting couple of arguments to the game shortcut etc.). Nothing works.
Without the modpack, the game starts up correctly.
i think the game runs fine after downloading but i cant change my resolution so now the games runs with all the sounds and music but the screen only showing black screen with error : " H=65,5 Hz V = 60Hz" . It seems like the game refresh rate is higher than my monitor refresh rate. Does anyone have a solution to this? thanks
