Blitz news for 03/03/2024 on STALKER modding and more. Today, briefly on the following projects and developments: New project from Zhekan, Hike, Echo of the Monolith 0.2, Day Seven, ANOTHER VOICE, Shadow Of Chernobyl Rebuild, Through the Perimeter to the Dream: Prologue, PIONER, The Other Side, RVC Neural Network for STALKER, Metro: Heritage , OP OGSR, Belarus.
New project from Zhekan
A necessary feature in the mod being developed by Zhekan. Actually, taking into account the mistakes of one well-known project, moving to already explored places will be available through such a rare device Sony Ericsson K750i (you can’t get up to cry). Those who are especially advanced will also remember the screen saver on their phone screen.
The location, as we can see in the screenshot, is also not hackneyed, and most likely from some merged projects, such as Death in Contrary 3.
Hike
Several new screenshots from the testing process of the “Hike” story modification.
Echo of the Monolith 0.2
Report from the development fields of the global modification “ Echo of the Monolith 0.2 ”
The plot of the mod will be supplemented with variability in some quests, and neural networks have begun to be used in the voice acting of characters (their use is combined with the work of real actors, but does not completely replace them). A couple of project locations have been recompiled, receiving the necessary corrections and replacement of vegetation, and several new rooms have been modeled. The weapon component is being edited, including replacing sounds.
Day Seven
The author of the “Seventh Day” modification shared a large portion of screenshots from the pre-release version of Cordon.
Already now you can notice many innovations - the wall in front of the checkpoint and various lakes throughout the territory, the previously presented winter anomaly in the tunnel and a similar one on the floating islands. The Build factory does not replace the ATP, as it might seem - both places can be visited within the same location.
At the moment, minor bugs are being corrected and the stage of settling the location will begin, and the problem with bright snow will be solved.
ANOTHER VOICE
A couple more weapons in the independent project “ANOTHER VOICE”.
The authors introduced the UZI and SR-2 Veresk submachine guns to the community by Requital, and in addition shared a model of an old Soviet binocular.

Shadow Of Chernobyl Rebuild
A selection of screenshots from Shadow Of Chernobyl Rebuild
Video clip from tests of the Shadow Of Chernobyl Rebuild texture pack version 1.0.3. The modpack is assembled based on the vegetation textures on the Autumn Aurora geometry with the grass-ant plantings from Anomaly. Apparently the final development will not be soon, and there is still a lot of work. Also, several fresh models from Nestandart_5443 appeared in the videos ( additionally ).
Through the perimeter to the dream: Prologue
A mini-report on the work done in the modification “Across the Perimeter to the Dream: Prologue” has been published.
Since the publication of the latest news, the authors have managed to customize the engine to suit their needs and make many small changes. Most of the resources of the original Shadow of Chernobyl have also been cleared, which will allow the mod to be distributed as a repack. At the moment, final work remains to be done to improve the Cordon.
PIONER
The authors of the game PIONER showed a map of the Middle Earth location, which will become one of four large territories
In the south of the location is the city of Tsemnegorsk, which is equal in size to or larger than Pripyat from STALKER: Call of Pripyat.
Other side
A fresh selection of screenshots from testing the Quiet Backwater location from the developers of Another Side.
RVC neural network for STALKER
Quite an interesting project based on the functionality of the development of neural networks. If you remove the metallic ringing, add a bit of human emotion attached to accents and punctuation marks, you can get a completely suitable product for the needs of modification developers.
The goal of the RVC-Project is to train voice models and use them to transform audio files. A few minutes as a speech sample is enough to get an almost identical voice, preserving its main features...
The result of the work can be assessed by watching a video demonstrating several models based on the speech of characters from the Stalker universe.
Metro: Heritage
A modeler under the nickname "ANDDDRAY" presented Moscow architectural objects for the modification "Metro: Heritage".
The first object is the Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge - a transition bridge across the Moscow River. The second House of Architects is a residential building located at Rostovskaya embankment, 5.
OP OGSR
A couple of screenshots of the Abakan model from MW19. Expected in an update.

Belarus
Several fresh renders from the developers of the multiplayer, cooperative modification “Belarus”. The images show a demonstration of the KSh-2 butt for the GP-25 Koster under-barrel grenade launcher.
