Your welcome Paddy.

My favorite new mod isn't actually on the mod page I posted above--it's called the SagerSTALK Balance Mod - the guy who made it tweaked a number of things and incorporated some other good mods (real weapon names, improved english text, etc) into it as well ...

Here's a link to download sager's mod if you want to check it out:

Cool thing is it doesn't permanently alter anything - if you decide you don't like it, just delete the folder ...


From the readme:

SagerSTALK Beta 1

* The purpose of these changes are to better balance the game, without making it more difficult. The game should feel more realistic in someways (such as weapon damages) and more rewarding in others (once it area is cleared, it will stay cleared for awhile).
* Beta 1 Changelist
* Impact of bullets reduced. This means that there is less 'bounce' to an enemie's body when they die. No practical game effect.
* Tracer effect removed from all ammunition types.
* Integrated Raw’s Revamp for updated game text that makes more sense in English.
* Armor is slightly less expensive, slightly more protective against bullets, and wears out about half as fast due to bullet damage. This may still be too quickly, so it may be reduced again
* Increased eye height of chacter to correct level. May reduce if this causes problems with geometry.
* Integrated V2 of Kyodan’s realistic weapon names
* Increased respawn times significantly – respawns should take about an hour
* Rebalanced all guns and ammunition to be more realistic (and basically consistent with ballistic gelatin tests)
* Reduced the amount of bullet damage the player takes at all difficulty levels to account for somewhat increased weapon damage
* Rebalanced the hit points of common mutants
* Decreased the noise a character makes when sneaking.
* Rebalanced the amount of damage that stalker, bandits, soldiers and zombies take
* Slightly increased the minimum aim time of bandits, stalkers and soldiers for less bulls-eye snapshooting. (I will do this for zombies when I can find where)
* Slightly increased the amount of bullet damage that all armor takes

Hmmm, that new mod sounds very interesting Blinky. I may just have to try it. Has anyone tried the head-bob mods out there yet? Any thoughts?

I see Paddy is already busy helping out at the Oblivion-Lost forums too :)

... :wink: ... :lol: ... not that I would ever want to remove head-bobing ... it adds to the immersion!

I'm not dead set against it, just thought it would be nice to try. I thought it might help my eyes from tiring out so much, but then again I was playing FAR too long last night!

One other simple question I forgot to ask before--do these mods directly affect multiplayer?

I... I was playing FAR too long last night!

... got you hooked eh ? ... it is a bit like that ... :mrgreen:

... no idea ... I don't play MP as my internet is wireless and has a very bad ping ... :( ... it is great for anything but gaming.

Afraid I don't know either, crowing.

The GSC (developer) Stalker forum is finally back up - it was down for like a week. They have their own modding subforum too.
