The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.

Description

Now the global map really feels like a whole: the forest, looks like a forest and the trails, like trails.

I also ask whether this addon supports new levels or not. 👀

Hadn't played with this addon previously and decided to give it a try, thinking if I liked it I would integrate it properly by adding trails to new locations.

But unfortunately it has some flaws, for example, trail from Town «Yuzhniy» intersects with trail from the Rostok at the Truck Cemetery, but for some reason the player, traveling towards the Cemetery, does not have access to it, although logically should be (but it is impossible, because from the Rostok only one transition point, so the place for a new location is chosen unsuccessfully). Or when teleporting to some locations, the player looks in the direction from which he came, although he should not.

And at this point I decided not to continue and just refrain from playing with this addon, so there will be no proper integration of trails for it (including optionally).

Is that the only flaw?

As mask overlays and hd icons that's why i wonder cause hd icons and some mask overlays can drop some fps, is this correct or those doesn't affect performance in any way?

Textures that are above 1k can reduce performance it does not matter if its interface, mask overlays, hd icons or world textures they are still loading and effecting performance and stress the cpu and gpu so in other words the more mods you add to the game the worst it will get especially on weak systems, just to be clear i have nothing against the Author of this mod by any means is just not all mods are for everybody i know for a fact that modding is fun but with a price to pay and that is performance

In cases like this, even if it somehow affects performance, I'd rather lose 2-3 FPS than stare at an ugly map. Also keep in mind that I'm the only person in the modding community who plays on a macbook through emulation with 8GB RAM, and if I had any performance issues, I definitely wouldn't post such an addon.

With such talents, perhaps we will finally get to the point where it will be possible to remove these transitions and connect all the maps with roads and there will be something awesome without loss of performance

Impossible.

Not only would the performance be absolute garbage, the "transition" areas would be long and empty stretches of roads.

The question is, what the hell then are the cars that can be controlled in this game?

They were meant for the levels like darkscape lol. All maps were much bigger and more vehicle free in stalker builds

Thank you for your work! May I ask if anything in regards to the PDA Map needs to be disabled in GAMMA, for instance like the higher resolution map textures? just curious, thank you?

I have no idea, never played GAMMA, but any other map retexture would be incompatible.

Just a small alert, when right clicking on the mod to visit moddb it directs users to a page saying the mods been removed.

And out of curiousity, were there always locations that dont have maps at all?

Thanks for the notice, but since I've lost interest in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so far, fixes/updates will probably only be a few months away (as usual, though).

And about the last one, I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Hey man, is it alright if I use the image files in my mod? It's a rework of the Zone's layout to make it as close to real life as possible.
