This mod adds a series of new weapons from 7 Days to Die (Alpha 15) into S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl. 2024 release.
**2024 release. Uses its own gamedata folder and shouldn't be copied over previous versions of this mod.
Introducing the 7 Days to Die Weapons Pack, compatible with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl (1.4.22), players now have a new arsenal of weapons available for those who've got what it takes to survive. All weapons, names and animations have been modded to emulate 7 Days to Die (Alpha 15).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- Please make a backup copy of your gamedata folder before you use this mod. A new save game is recommended when using this mod.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Grants the player with access to a variety of new weapons from 7 Days to Die, a zombie survival game with crafting elements. Players are able to access the Pistol, the SMG, the AK-47 Assault Rifle and the Hunting Rifle.
- Players will spawn with weapons as soon as they start a new game. Ammo for their weapons can be bought from most traders (buying said ammo is an option for all factions). One can adjust faction_loadouts.ltx if they wish to create custom loadouts (free programs like TeXworks or Notepad++ can help you with this).
- This mod's weapons are supposed to emulate the weapons available in the Alpha 15 version of 7 Days to Die. Weapons have been designed to function at a field of view (FOV) of 70, though clipping issues have not been detected between the FOV values of 50 and 80.
- Does not affect NPC loadouts.
- Only tested for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl (1.4.22). Not tested or adapted for other patches. Use with other patches is done so at your own risk, though frequent crashing may occur.
- New game highly recommended.
NOTABLE ISSUES:
- Minor clipping issues may occur at high field of view (FOV) settings.
- Spawning items via the debug menu on lower resolutions may cause crashes (this can also sometimes occur in vanilla installations of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl). Resolutions of 1280x720 and 1920x1080 are recommended.
- Not all weapons from 7 Days to Die (Alpha 15) have been included for technical reasons.
- The custom sounds for these weapons have not been commented in-game. Even when commenting them, they still play at the same volume regardless of the player's distance from the source of the sound. Due to this, I have modded these weapons so they cannot be dropped by the player as to not risk them getting spooked by the sound of this weapon in the case that they're picked up by another NPC (see the aforementioned sound commenting issue above). Also ran said sounds through the Level Editor, but to no success. These will still work in-game, though. Take care when playing Azazel mode as the player can drop these weapons upon death (dying and dropping these weapons alone, or their acquisition by NPCs, will not make the game crash).
