Lost Alpha Clarification.
I am a lurker on other STALKER sites, reddit, discord etc. I still find confusion or misinformed posts about LA in its current state (DC and LAR). Hopefully this pinned post will help clear some points up.
One of the main points of confusion seems to be the story still. The illuminati part of the story and their cutscenes were removed in DC and LAR (Lost Alpha Revisited). Some were first removed in DC (1.4007) when it was released, in 2018. DC also removed the entire dream sequence in x16 so it plays as it did in SOC now. There was a "storyline changes" mod available in the launcher that got rid of others as well, but it is no longer there. However, it is integrated in LAR.
In LAR (Moddb.com) I removed the remaining cutscenes I felt did not belong. They still alluded to the illuminati story or did not make sense. Check the full patch notes pastebin link in LAR's description for more information.
Overall, the main story in DC and LAR is basically the same as SOC now. There are some people who enjoy earlier versions of LA though, in that case, the illuminati story is still intact.
Please read the below article for a little more info on the three versions of LA if you wish (note: I do not support DCE, nor was involved in it, the link below explains who was involved in DCE).
STALKER Lost Alpha: Revisited is released.........
With the announcement of STALKER 2 I see more traffic here, so I wanted to give a quick guideline on the different LA DC versions.
There is a new version of LA out (DC Extended). Check out the details below for more information.
STALKER LOST ALPHA: REVISTED (LAR), is formally known as "LB's Comp." LAR combines ALL of my previous mimimod/comp updates along with the revised Duty...

how can i enable developer mode for LAR and how to enable english voices for LAR? sorry if i spam btw, it doesnt send the comment immediately
There is a way to get it partially working I believe (for DC, it will work with LAR as well), you would have to check back on comments here or do a google search though.
and how to enable english voice lines on? Sidorovich speaks russian instead of english
Check the pastebin patch notes in LAR's description. How to get minimap back is also in there.
adding "-developer" to the game shortcut doesnt seem to make developer mode available in LAR like it did in plain DC, do you know of any other way to activate the developer mode? I cant find any info anywhere else>
LAR does not change anything that would affect the dev mode. DC (1.4007) changed how the dev mode works. I never used it, so I cannot help. There are people that got it working, but it is buried in the comments here.
is there any way i can disable the constant bandit attacks on the old factory in cordon? Its a weird request but i just hate it when important npcs die, in this instnance petruha, wolf and proverb
It may be possible, but you would have to edit files. I am not sure if they are tied to the all.spawn though (if they are, then you wont be able to). If they are tied to an ltx, you could probably lower their spawn # at least. You would also have to start a new game if you were to edit it, to even test it.
Otherwise, I typically will try to trade rookies a better gun to help them survive longer.
can i ask why lar doesnt work with the prm weapon pack?
Because I never played with it, nor cared to. I am not a fan of those big weapon packs. Stachelhaut created a patch for the previous version of LAR (when it was my compilation), but it does not currently work for LAR.
Anyone can take the reins though to make it compatible. I am going to guess there are not that many files that would need changed/merged.
