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 with 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 accommodate 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!

What's different for the player?

Size for one, 'IT'S HUGE' and growing!
Core re-coding to reduce memory to actually be able to run it without a Nuclear Powered computer!
New packet system and more control on the database for future multi-player version and coop game play.
New levelling system that allows the game to continue with NEW content after each level-up: Level 0=STALKER, 1=Collector, 2+=Beyond Collector.
Scheme system that will allow true dynamic content for the projected STALKERSOUP ON-LINE DLC system.

Why Managed?

Since this mod started (appx 2007) many variations have occurred. 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.

The Team

Contributors

Of course all those who have and still are working on this mod throughout the globe! Friends of STALKERSOUP in the Steam Community who send us comments and those who respond on the forum, Darius K. Zoot for translations and some nice tweaks, 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.

DISCLAIMER

This is a managed version of a modification of GSC Gameworld S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, this mod was first released in 2007 and has been added to and modified by several others. We take no claim to authorship in whole or part, credit to all these individuals are shown in many of the links and files so we will not list them here. We wish just to provide a translated, stable mod with tools to help test and expand this awesome game.

ADDENDUM:

Since the release of version 1.0.1 there has been an extensive amount of re-design in the original code. We have made all attempts to keep NS as original as possible and give them all credit for their contributions.
We now take claim to new content authoring and scripting techniques that have taken it beyond NS and intend to continue this work. This is to recognize the efforts of all those actively contributing to this mod.
