TecnoBacon Presents
STALKERSOUP

Modders MEGA MOD

This project originally started as a translated and managed version of the very popular Russian game modification Narodnaya Soljanka plus our own version of The Collector by dAVROs and new content and expansion by TecnoBacon and the Friends of STALKERSOUP. It has now moved beyond that and has had much of the core re-designed to accomodate real growth and migration to an on-line ZONE.

This MOD is for GSC Game World's MOST POPULAR:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.

It is managed mainly for the Steam Community to provide the best performance and stability with the Cloud system. Allowing large address awareness up to 4gig using ONLY a modified xrgame.dll without sacrificing the new features presented by the DMX team!

Why Managed?

Since this mod started (appx 2007) many variations have occured. There are many things each had that were popular mods and some were, let's just say.... not so good.

Many of these mods tend to also contain versions of other files that there files depend on, this causes chaos with game files. One great example is the ui_icon_equipment image map, so far we have found four versions, each one moving and changing existing icons and adding new ones as well. We have combined them to support DMX, Arsenal Expansion, Collector and the Weapons Expansion mods. For modders, we have integrated the Atlas Spawn, Lord of the Zone and TB3D Teleporter tools.

We have picked what we feel are the most popular features and have incorporated them into the game. Those who want to, can edit a single script file to turn several features on/off and even change the way the game starts. If you prefer, you can download pre-configured files for many pre-set combinations of this file.

We intend to keep up-to-date with the DMX releases in a timely but accurate fashion. We also intend to expand the ZONE, inviting submissions from other modders.

Zoot for translations and some nice tweaks, dAVROs for providing his latest version of the Collector mod. Snork (Pseudostomp) for all the info and links that he has provided, invaluable time-saver as most of it is from Russian forums and needs translating first.
