XpressTuning's Remaster (Ultimate Edition)
Additional Credits:
Stalker Weather Overhaul 3.1.1
Mr. Haandi (SMAA)
! UPDATE ! - Mr. Haandi's SMAA is now a separate download due to some people experiencing issues with the Injector. Simply extract and add the contents of "Mr. Haandi's SMAA" folder to the main game directory folder.
This is now the recommended version of my package - the Ultimate Edition. Tested it out extensively in the GOG version of STALKER, works flawlessly. I did NOT add the ENB file which is the cause of many incompatibility issues on modern machines.
The purpose here is for the package to work with no hassle whatsoever and be as easy as possible to install and enjoy, and that is why i decided to not include the ENB.
The ENB CAN work with the solutions provided (in the Summary page) and you can always add it LATER via the download link in the description. If you decide to add the ENB file, i recommend that you first disable the included SMAA injection by deleting the following files:
- "d3d9.dll" and "injector.ini" from the "bin" folder in the root directory (Stalker's main folder)
- "SMAA.fx" and "SMAA.h" from the root directory.
Added/Updated Features:
1. ZRP Tweaks (Reduced Headbob, Added the Sleeping Bag, Enabled Fire Dynamic Lighting, Enabled Repair at the following NPCs - Screw and Ivantsov, Adjusted Crosshairs Size).
2. Antialiasing used is injectSMAA v1.2 by Mr. Haandi. Improves imagine quality with almost no performance cost.
3. Weather Overhaul 3.1.1. added into the package:
- Dynamic weather system, composed of 7 unique 24h cycles - every single day in-game is different weather-wise.
- Fully implemented sun (and moon) flares - both perfectly matching sky textures.
- Almost all sky textures from SHOC, CS and StalkerSkies pack used. All of them hand-reedited to achieve the best quality skies.
- Smart dynamic scheme creating random yet realistic weather condition chains - no awkward 'weather jumps' form clear to storm - all changes are fluid with clouds gathering at fist before the rain starts.
Installation instructions:
- Follow the "Preparation before adding the mod" section in the Summary page!
- Extract the zip file.
- Add the "gamedata" folder to the main game directory folder.
Done, enjoy.
