S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OBLIVION LOST by Kanyhalos 1.3

What's this?

This mod wants to get closer to the old Oblivion Lost, and give the best performance what is possible, with using the 3 best mod features:

Total Freeplay, Modified A-Life, and Reality Enhancement.

It is recommended to play in HELL difficulty!

This mod works properly only with 1.0004 or 1.0005 patch! The default is 1.0005!

FEATURES:

FREEPLAY

- New level changers (Stancia2 to Control Room, Control Room to Sarcophagus, Sarcophagus to Stancia1, Stancia1 to Pripyat, Cordon to Dark Valley and a new Radar to Bunker)

- Removed the scripted blowout from Stancia1 and the dead zone from Stancia2, so you can explorate the whole Power Plant

- The last portal teleports the actor to the court, so the game is open-ended

A-LIFE

- Now almost everything can be happened, there's a chance to meet any NPC's on other levels

- Sometimes the army raids, sometimes not, this is totally random, too

- The mutants are making their ways through pass the Zone in big hordes

- The mutants are entering places what they aren't entered before, so there's an increased chance to meet them in human-being places

REALISM

- All weapons are strongers and well-balanced

- Almost to all weapons be able to attach addons

- Added realistic sounds to the weapons, rounds, ammos, materials, environment

- NPC's are bleeding, if they are hurted then fall down to the ground, and if they don't receive any medkits about a minute, then they die

- Well-balanced armor degradation

- The crosshair is reduced to a dot

STEALTH

- The NPC's can't notice the actor during night if his flashlight is turned off

- If the actor turns on the flashlight, then his enemies spot him immediatelly

- Reduced the sound volume of the Knife, now it's a dangerous and invisible weapon during night, presumably the NPC's won't notice the actor if he is smart enough

WEATHER

- There are 24 hours cycle weathers in all levels

- The night is dark and scary

- Restored the Sun and the Moon

- Atmospheric sky textures

BLOWOUT

- The blowout is totally random, you never know that when it will start

- The blowout spawns mutants and artifacts in random places

- The NPC's are falling down when the blowout starts, and they stunned to the ground when it explodes, also the actor is slowered and has got some minor effectors

- The blowout is dark at night and shiny at daylight

- If the weather is rainy, then the blowout increases the intensity of the rain, the thunders and the wind

- Two boss enemy characters (Burer and Koshei) - you can kill them with special methods

VEHICLES

- Added all drivable vehicles (Niva, Zaz, Kamaz, Tractor, UAZ, BTR, Moskvich)

- The vehicles aren't floating

Install Notes:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to install?

1. First you should edit the fsgame.ltx and at the gamedata line change both variables to true (one of them is already true)

2. Copy the content of the package to your Stalker gamedir (if you don't have a gamedata folder, don't worry, this mod will create it)

3. I recommend to use the Smart Mod Manager to install the mod and the patches!

4. Read this info!:)

5. Start a new game, and enjoy!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important Controls:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can enter the vehicles with "F" button, and Turn on the Engine with a button what you set in the options/controls menu.

If you enter the BTR with "F" button, press the "L" button to open the windows.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important issues:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you enter Pripyat after the Brain Scorcher mission, you meet the loner stalkers.

You must follow them to the underground car park. After this you must go to the stadium. You must enter the stadium in its main gate to reach this quest: "Find entrance to the Sarcophagus". If you won't complete this quest the game will CTD when you return to Pripyat from the NPP, so first time don't use the small side gates to reach the power plant!

So I say it again you must use the main gate first time:

The last portal in the NPP Stancia2 teleports the actor to the court where you can meet the main boss enemy.

And you can go back to the previous levels, you can see the positions of the level changers on the PDA Map.

The game is open-ended, so you can forget about the "Game Over"

If you want to play this mod in russian language, then please download the russian localization patch!

This mod is designed for 1.0005 by default, but it's compatible with 1.0004, too!

If you want to play it under 1.0004, then please install the OL1.0004 patch!

If you are playing the mod under 1.0004 yet, and you changed your mind, and you want to play it under 1.0005, then please install the OL1.0005 patch, but presumably your saved games won't work!

PLEASE USE THE SMART MOD MANAGER TO INSTALL THIS MOD. YOU CAN CHOOSE THE PATCH WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSTALL WITH IT!

NOTES:

If you want to use any files from OL gamedata then you must ask me and Siro for the permission and show us your upcoming mod!
