MOD TUTORIAL 01
TUTORIAL FOR MODIFICATION OF STARTING EQUIPMENT This Tutorial will enable you to customise the equipment you start with in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat to what ever you choose.
To begin with open the file named "character_desc_general" in the downloads section click here (http://openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile;id=131) (along with a text file with all the following info on), or if you have unpacked the database files from the game already it is found in "gamedata/configs/gameplay". The file is an XML document but can be opened with notepad if you have no XML or C++ editor. When open the following section is the one you need to focus on for your starting gear, it is about 10 or so lines down from the top of the page.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
<specific_character id="actor" no_random = "1">
<name>st_actor_name</name>
<icon>ui_inGame2_Hero</icon>
<map_icon x="2" y="5"></map_icon>
<team>Actor</team>
<supplies>
[spawn]
device_torch
wpn_binoc
wpn_knife
detector_simple
helm_respirator
stalker_outfit
grenade_rgd5 = 2
wpn_pm_actor
ammo_9x18_fmj = 3
wpn_ak74u
ammo_5.45x39_fmj = 3
bandage = 2
antirad = 1
medkit = 4
bread = 1
kolbasa = 1
conserva = 2
</supplies>
<money min="2500" max="2500" infinitive="0"/>
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
As you can see its a simple list structure, some items followed a number, this number is how many of that item you will get, for example "conserva = 2 " shows you will get 2 tins of food in your inventory at the start of the game.
Some entries in the list should not be changed at all, these are
"device_torch , wpn_knife , wpn_binoc" they are essential equipment that does not appear anywhere in your inventory so don't risk losing them for good!
To change any weapons, ammo, armour and helmets consult the lists below to find out the PROGRAM name of what you want, then simply replace the relevant text in the XML file.
For example, to start with a Black Kite (Desert Eagle) replace
"wpn_pm_actor" to "wpn_desert_eagle". Now you need to replace the ammo, the lists below shows each weapons ammo type. As with the weapon just replace
"ammo_9x18_fmj" with
"ammo_11.43x23_fmj" or
"ammo_11.43x23_hydro". If you want to start with more than 3 boxes change the number to how many you want.
Changing Armour and Helmets works in exactly the same way, consult the list and replace the entry.
EXAMPLE CHANGES In the starting equipment list below the Armour, Helmet, Pistol and Rifle have all been changed, also as well as changing the ammo to match the new weapons the amount has been changed from 3 to 5 boxes of each.

(that's the basics for now, will add lists covering Food, Meds and other equipment as soon as I can)
Excellent! :-X
Do you know where to change entries for weapons (maybe armour, too) so they stop degrading? I want at least one weapon that lasts forever :) Would be so cool...
NON-DEGRADING ARMOUR
Go to gamedata\configs\misc and find OUTFIT.ltx.
Then go down past the first 40 or so lines of text until you see the following :-
;----------------------------------------------
[novice_outfit]:outfit_base
This is the first actual piece of armour in the file, the other suits are below it but the text layout is the same for each suit.
Now scroll down to the bottom of the entry for that suit. See below -
[sect_novice_outfit_immunities_add]
burn_immunity = -0.01
strike_immunity = 0.0
shock_immunity = -0.01
wound_immunity = -0.01
radiation_immunity = 0.0
telepatic_immunity = 0.0
chemical_burn_immunity = -0.01
explosion_immunity = -0.01
fire_wound_immunity = -0.005
To stop degradation simply make all the value 0.0, ending up like -
[sect_novice_outfit_immunities_add]
burn_immunity = 0.0
strike_immunity = 0.0
shock_immunity = 0.0
wound_immunity = 0.0
radiation_immunity = 0.0
telepatic_immunity = 0.0
chemical_burn_immunity = 0.0
explosion_immunity = 0.0
fire_wound_immunity = 0.0
NON DEGRADING WEAPONS
Go to gamedata/configs/weapons. There you will find 44 .ltx files, one for each weapon and a few others.Open the file for the weapon you want to not degrade, go down approx 40 lines until you see this - ( The line you need is the Green one.)

condition_queue_shot_dec = 0.0013
ammo_elapsed = 30 ; obsolete
ammo_mag_size = 30 ; clip (magazine) size
Change the numbers at the end to 0.0 and now your weapon will not break on you.
cool, got to test that :-X Thanks, matey :)
Cool, let me know if there are any problems and will look in to it again, also think I may have a solution to your weather question too, will let you know asap.
kewl (sorry for "leetspeak") that would be awesome. It's not that I don't like the weather the game sports, but I do miss a bit of sunshine now and then. Too bloody rare, isn't it.
Apparently the weather and anti-headbob mods w@&k :)
I'm right now modding the protective helmet (the one that looks like cut off of a SEVA suit) because usually (if ever) other stalkers don't wear those (we don't want to give them the opportunity to enhance their abilities, do we?) :)
I added this to the existing lines. NV3 is best because per NV level the green spectrum broadens, so with NV3 you can read your artefact detector without its display starting to white-out on you.
The enemies show distance upgrade (relates to the minimap) usually is only available to the tactical helmet, and it would upgrade to 35. So I enhanced the protective helmet even more :)
nightvision_sect = effector_nightvision_3
nearest_enemies_show_dist = 50
I'll check the degrading stuff next.
Yay! I've decided to mod the upgrade file for the GP37 (usually enemies don't upgrade their G37s) to be found in
\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call Of Pripyat\gamedata\configs\weapons\upgrades\w_g36_up.ltx
Now it has the following parameters that enter into force once you upgrade the tier1 scope of that rifle (edit: I hope, I modded it after having upgraded to tier2):
- (regular upgrade) scope zoom factor increased
- attachable silencer
- target tracker
- silencer both in inventory and FPS-view visible, sound and muzzle flash appropriate
[up_sect_fourta_g36]
;Îïòèêà 1.5èêñ
;------------------
cost = 1200
scope_zoom_factor = -15
scope_alive_detector = scope_detector
silencer_status = 2
silencer_name = wpn_addon_silencer
silencer_x = 224
silencer_y = 13
snd_silncer_shot = weapons\w_ak74_shot1
silencer_smoke_particles = weapons\generic_shoot_00
silencer_light_color = 0.6,0.5,0.3
silencer_light_range = 0.01
silencer_light_var_color= 0.05
silencer_light_var_range= 0.5
silencer_light_time = 0.2
And it looks like this:
[smg id=2112 align=center width=400]
Just checked the degrading. Again, I decided to change the upgrades rather than the general weapon characteristics, because I think only the player upgrades the G37.
Now I added at the very top of the same file mentioned in the previous post:
[up_sect_firsta_g36]
;═Óõյݯ±‗³(1)10%
;--------------
cost = 900
value = +10
;¾ÔÕÙÞ¸ÕÝÞÕ õÞ±´Õ±ÞÞ Ô ´¯÷ÕÝ‗Ó§ ´Þ ýÓÛ±ÞýÓٳݯý Þþݯ±Õ
fire_dispersion_condition_factor = -1 ;15
;¾ÔÕÙÞ¸ÕÝÞÕ Þþݯ°Õݯ±‗Þ ´Þ Ô¹±‗ÕÙÕ ¯¸ÕÕõ³■
condition_queue_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0002 ;0.0013
;¾ÔÕÙÞ¸ÕÝÞÕ Þþݯ°Õݯ±‗Þ ´Þ ¯õÞݯ¸Ý¯ý Ô¹±‗ÕÙÕ
condition_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0002 ;0.0011
I believe that the "queue shot dec" has to do with automatic or rapid fire.
Using a negative value of 1 means the weapon heals itself rather than degrades while being fired.
It works :)
I must say, now that I started modding gear (only that helmet and the G36 so far) the game has become even more attractive regarding free play. Once you went through the mildly annoying hell of a complete game, you might find extra fun in becoming a weapon mechanic, making your own upgrades. :)
I'm experimenting some more, right now I have added better scope functionality (higher zoom) and a lot more bullet speed and impact to it. I keep modding the upgrade files only, so that basics stay basics.
Now this is the enhanced version for the G37 (I delete that gibberish, which should have been cyrillic letters, for readability reasons):
[up_sect_firsta_g36]
;--------------
cost = 900
value = +10
fire_dispersion_condition_factor = -1 ;15
condition_queue_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0002 ;0.0013
condition_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0002 ;0.0011
misfire_start_prob = 0.0000 ;-0.0015
misfire_end_prob = 0.0000 ;-0.025 ;0.03
bullet_speed = +300
hit_impulse = +500
ammo_mag_size = +70
rpm = +100
scope_zoom_factor = -15
What you can see is condition dec values are negative="healing" and the rest should be self-explanatory, maybe apart from RPM which is the rate of fire (rounds per minute)
I have also modded the hunting rifle (HEHE) so I can blow any crap away that stands in my way ;D
The hunting rifle upgrade is this:
\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call Of Pripyat\gamedata\configs\weapons\upgrades\w_toz34_up.ltx
[up_sect_firsta_toz34]
cost = 200
value = +10
condition_queue_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0005 ;0.0013
condition_shot_dec = -1.0000 ; -0.0005 ;0.0011
bullet_speed = +200
hit_impulse = +200
And the result... that rifle packs quite a punch ;D , like that:
[smg id=2113 align=center width=400]
Good to see your getting to grips with the .LTX files, there are a lot of things that can be tweaked with weapons and armour through them.
Enjoy your pumped up guns ;D
Really cool guys - modding is one of my favorite things to do with games - even if I don't create the mods myself :-X
Modding means to change something in the game, and people who do so most certainly do it because they themselves or someone else thinks there is room for improvement. Even if it just means to have guns with more firepower or a simple god mode. I admire people who manage to mod a game in a way that the looks change, like adding meshes, textures, sounds and so on, sometimes even the goal of the game is changed. Personally, I started modding long ago on a low level, just to enhance my own abilities or weapons. Like that, I get a custom game to my taste, and I have the freedom to mod what I want. The stuff I do is usually something I'd call "cheat" just like now, cranking up weapons and armour (well, night vision needs to be part of the equipment, I haven't found a way to implement that into my character's body yet, hehe). Thanks to some publishers who allow us to do so. I always liked games that allowed modding. Do it yourself, is what I like about it :)
Indeed - Open Architecture Games ;)
Didn't realise there was that term or if I did, I didn't realise what it meant. Thanks for that info :)
On a sidenote, funny thing: My "special" weapons heal themselves when fired. In the game, I once got into a situation where I could decide whether or not to hand over my own gear to bandits, and this time I did (geez, they took like 10 very valuable items such as the unique gauss rifle along with a few modded weapons). I was lucky, in my inventory was still some stuff left, one modded pistol among it. So I was able to kill all bandits, and one of them had all my stuff on him. I looted him and oh dear, my beloved and highly modded G37 was degraded down to zero! Now I thought hold on a minute, let's see if... and I fired a couple of rounds, checked its stats, and indeed, it was back to say 30%. So I fired some more rounds and the weapon completely healed itself ;D

There isn't (at least I don't think that there is) - I just made that up because your original comment instantly brought it to my mind, and it sounded good ;D
That's funny about your self-healing weapon - good one! :-X
Quote from: PZ on March 21, 2010, 12:12:29 PMThat's funny about your self-healing weapon - good one! :-X
Its one of the simple little changes I often like to do, usually with the SA Avalanche, also usually increase ammo capacity to 50 and make sure it has Single shot, 3 Round burst and Full Auto.
Its hugely entertaining to play around with the stats of a basic pistol like the Makarov so it ends up with No recoil, 1000 round capacity, full auto fire at 600 rpm, effective range increased to around 2000 metres, and tweaked so that when it hits it does so with the force more akin to that of a Main Battle Tanks primary cannon.
All you have to worry about then is if any enemies have the same weapon as all the NPC's weapons are from the same data files as yours :-\ . There is a way around that by making your weapon 'Unique' but I will write a full tutorial on how to go about doing that after I get done with the second part of the 'Starting Equipment' tutorial (which would of been done days ago if not for new the Borderlands DLC and the release of Metro 2033 as well as late night poker sessions with some friends ;D ).

That's why I bind my modifications to the upgrade files. They will not be effective until you upgrade. I find it easiest to pack everything you want into the first upgrade option, which is available to the player at any time. From what I know of all the gazillions of weapons I looted from NPCs, I think it is safe to say that they don't use upgraded weapons. Yes, I have seen upgrades, but those were special items that came with treasure hunts, not in active use of NPCs. :)
Now I'm satisfied, found another entry that does the real trick for a gun. My hunting rifle finally behaves like I expect it to, it simply blows a target away. ;D

Hey Red... I know I was one to ask you to come up with such topic, which you managed to perform with excellent proficiency, and ever since I didn't give you any feedback here...
That's because I've been out of gaming for over a month now... lots of new things going on on real life right now and I'm still stuck in the early levels of Shadow of Chernobyl with lots of missions to do at the bar :-[
In due time I'll be back to The Zone and some virtual reality / real virtuality...
Well done mate... congrats for the great w@&k :-X :-X
You too Art... always watching for places to things and things in place... :-X :-X :-X
No probs JRD, pretty busy on the physical plane of existence myself at the moment, every time sit in front of PC end up almost falling asleep. Will be heading back into the Zone myself at some point, 100 rads bar does a half decent Bloodsucker steak ;D .
Good hunting Stalker.

snd_silncer_shot = weapons\w_ak74_shot1
Since the weapon does sound silenced, the programmers must really have worked on with that typo all the time :) (the E is missing in silEncer, all other variables are correct)
never noticed that before, could be an error in translation too as the Dev's are from the Ukraine.
That's an interesting bit of info, Red :-X
Red, where (which file) can one find those codes for items and weapons as shown in the first post of this topic? And to the point, I need the codes for those three tool boxes. Do you know them?
Trader files, Items, Outfits, Weapons.
But to make it easier for me whilst compiling the tutorial I took them from a mod that gives All equipment at the start. Will post a complete list asap.
Also please note that I have edited the first post in this topic to include pictures of Armour and Helmets.And replaced the download version with one that includes all images, not just weapons. :-X

great :)
For some reason I can't seem to stop my environmental helmet from degrading under certain circumstances. It stays intact, mostly, but then it does degrade. I used the exact same variables you gave us for the "non-degrading armour" and made it an upgrade. The upgrade I created also contains the level 3 night vision and enhanced enemy mapping, both of which w@&k, so the upgrade (mod) in general works. I wonder why it doesn't prevent the helmet from rotting away. Any idea?
Very odd, not sure why it is still degrading on you, only thing I can think of at the moment is to change the actual helmet properties. For example :-
[sect_helm_battle_immunities]
burn_immunity = 0.02
strike_immunity = 0.0
shock_immunity = 0.02
wound_immunity = 0.0
wound_2_immunity = 0.0
radiation_immunity = 0.0
telepatic_immunity = 0.0
chemical_burn_immunity = 0.02
explosion_immunity = 0.01
fire_wound_immunity = 0.01
And change it to read :-
[sect_helm_battle_immunities]
burn_immunity = 0.0
strike_immunity = 0.0
shock_immunity = 0.0
wound_immunity = 0.0
wound_2_immunity = 0.0
radiation_immunity = 0.0
telepatic_immunity = 0.0
chemical_burn_immunity = 0.0
explosion_immunity = 0.0
fire_wound_immunity = 0.0
Will see if I can find an alternative way around it at some point over the weekend for you. :)

Very odd, not sure why it is still degrading on you, only thing I can think of at the moment is to change the actual helmet properties.
I found out what it was.
If you mod upgrade sections, like "don't degrade," you need to pay attention to what comes next in that file, like "degrade (only) a little." So the trick was to set all the other upgrades that deal with degradation (protection) in that file to "0.0" too. :)Skip that. Still degrades :(
Today I have "fixed" the sunshine weather mod a bit to my taste. At first I didn't realise there was sunshine at midnight, too. Around the clock, more to the point, lol ;D
What I needed was no rain, but I didn't mind day/night cycles. I reinstalled them by copying the parameters of the default_clear.ltx and pasting those into the following files, and put them into
HD:\games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call Of Pripyat\gamedata\configs\environment\weathers\
[default].ltx
default_clear.ltx
default_cloudy.ltx
default_rain.ltx
default_thunder.ltx
Now I have nice weather all the time, and that means no matter if day or night, it won't rain etc. Just good weather with clear sky (partly cloudy). :-X
Nice one Art :-X .
At first i thought it was odd that it had listings for the sun 24 hours a day until I looked through the coding for it all where it lists the Longitude.
I also like all the variable possibilities for sky & hemisphere colour etc.
When you get into them the 'LTX' and 'XML' files really do make this game a Modding Heaven.
As well as finishing of Tutorial 05 - Artefacts I'm currently looking into how to bring some of the weapons from the excellent "Arsenal RC1" mod for Shadow of Chenobyl into Call of Pripyat.
Arsenal RC1 is available HERE (http://depositfiles.com/en/files/6893500) but that is the version created for SoC. Will keep you all posted on my success (if any!).
good luck, then :)

If this is created by the same people that created Arsenal RC4 for Fallout 3, then it will be a dynamite mod. It is so good in FO3 that I used FO3Edit to give the arsenal weapons to everyone in the game.

Pretty sure it is by the same person / people, the README is in Russian though so cant say for sure.

Cheers Art, after looking through some of the files it may turn out to be beyond my abilities, not going to stop me from trying though :) .

Nice one, thanks mate :) :-X
I've been playing around with the HD:\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call Of Pripyat\gamedata\configs\creatures\actor.ltx to be able to run and crouch a lot faster and to jump a lot higher. So far, these are the settings. If you exaggerate changing those values you might end up starting to run so fast that you will stop with a pain sound (probably hurting yourself, but I don't notice that due to other tweaks). So you can't run around like a muscle car on steroids. If you jump too high, as in on top of buildings, you may find yourself set back watching a loading screen that takes you to a different area (Pripyat, Zaton, Jupiter), so that isn't the best of ideas, either.
check the part where you find those entries (quite at the top of the file). Not all of them have been changed by me, but that is how it currently looks here.
max_item_mass = 35 ;50.0
jump_speed = 12.0 ;6.
crouch_coef = 0.7 ;0.30
climb_coef = 1.0 ;0.7
run_coef = 2.5 ;2.0
sprint_koef = 3.5 ;2.5
run_back_coef = 1.8
walk_back_coef = 0.5
air_control_param = 0.1
walk_accel = 19
I copied Red's modding tutorials into a single wiki entry:
http://openworldgames.org/mwiki/index.php/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._Modding_Tutorial (http://openworldgames.org/mwiki/index.php/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._Modding_Tutorial)
looks good, thanks PZ :) :-X
Sweet, Cheers PZ.
Had a look at how to do it myself but a bit tied up for time at the moment.
Thanks for the comments, guys :-X
I'm trying to come up with other useful snippets that might be easily indexed.
I have compiled all the information from Tutorial 01 to 05 into a single text file and reduced the image files in size to create a single file for modding starting equipment. It can be found HERE (http://openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=137).
The full size images are available in the 5 separate Tutorial downloads.
Great job, Red! :-X
great idea :-X
