STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes

Here is list of exe files for Anomaly 1.5.3 that contains all engine patches by community required for some advanced mods to work.

Read the instructions PLEASE!!!

• Windows 10 1903 Update at least is required!!!
• Install the latest Visual C++ Redistributables: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
• Download STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes_<version>.zip archive.
• Unpack all directories directly into your Anomaly game folder, overwrite files if requested.
• Delete shader cache in launcher before first launch of the game with new exes. You only have to do it once.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If you are updating from version older than 2025.04.21 and use Reshade, you need to update Reshade as well

• Q: How to reinstall modded exes from scratch?

• A:

  • Delete everything in db/mods folders
  • Delete everything in gamedata/configs folder except localization.ltx, axr_options.ltx and cache_dbg.ltx" files
  • Delete these folders if you have them:
    • gamedata/materials
    • gamedata/scripts
    • gamedata/shaders
  • Install modded exes following the instructions above

• Q: The game crashes on DX11 Fullscreen on Linux

• A: You need to add --dxgi-old parameter into commandline.txt file or via making a shortcut to exe and adding argument there

• Q: I have low FPS near campfires or when shooting

• A: Disable "Volumetric lighting", known issue for now: #94 #123

• Q: I have conflicts, crashes and bugs with shaders when i use Beef NVG, SSS, or Enhanced Shaders

• A: If you are using those mods, install this package via MO2, and put it higher priority than those mods: https://github.com/deggua/xray-hdr10-shaders/releases/latest

X-Ray Monolith Edition for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly

---

• based on Open X-Ray Call of Chernobyl Edition
• based on X-Ray 1.6 Engine

This repository contains XRAY Engine sources based on version 1.6.02 and the Call of Chernobyl 1.4.22 modifications. The original engine is used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat game released by GSC Game World and any changes to this engine are allowed for non-commercial use only.

List of patches

• Moved solution to Visual Studio 2022, In case you have problems, make sure you installed the latest Visual C++ Redistributables. You can find them here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

• DLTX by MerelyMezz with edits and bugfixes by demonized, differences compare to original:

  • Attempting to override sections no longer crash the game, but prints the message into the log. All sections that triggers that error will be printed
  • Duplicate section errors now prints the root file where the error happened for easier checking mod_... ltxes
  • DLTX received possibility to create section if it doesn't exists and override section if it does with the same symbol @. Below is the example for newsection that wasn't defined. Firstly its created with one param override = false, then its overridden with override = true

  @[newsection]
  override = false
  
  @[newsection]
  override = true
  
  

  • DLTX received possibility to add items to parameter's list if the parameter has structure like

  name = item1, item2, item3

  • >name = item4, item5 will add item4 and item5 to list, the result would be name = item1, item2, item3, item4, item5
  • <name = item3 will remove item3 from the list, the result would be name = item1, item2
  • example for mod_system_...ltx:

    ![info_portions]
    >files                                    = ah_info, info_hidden_threat
  
    ![dialogs]
    >files                                    = AH_dialogs, dialogs_hidden_threat
    
    ![profiles]
    >files                                    = npc_profile_ah, npc_profile_hidden_threat
    >specific_characters_files                = character_desc_ah, character_desc_hidden_threat
  

  • Here you can get the LTXDiff tool with set of scripts for converting ordinary mods to DLTX format (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltxify-by-right-click-for-modders-tool).

• DXML by demonized

  • Allows to modify contents of loaded xml files before processing by engine by utilizing Lua scripts
  • For more information see DXML.md guide.

  • For unlocalizing a variable in the script, please refer to documentation in test file in gamedata/configs/unlocalizers folder

• Doppler effect of sounds based on code by Cribbledirge and edited by demonized.

• True First Person Death Camera, that will stay with player when he dies and will react accordingly to player's head position and rotation, with possibility to adjust its settings.

  • Known bugs:
    • If the player falls with face straight into the ground, the camera will clip underground due to model being clipped as well with

• Optional gameplay enhancements

• Additional functions and console commands described in lua_help_ex.script

• Additional callbacks described in callbacks_gameobject.script

• Additional edits and bugfixes by demonized

• Added printing of engine stack trace in the log via StackWalker library https://github.com/JochenKalmbach/StackWalker

• To make it work you need to download pdb file for your DX/AVX version and put it into same place as exe file. PDB files are here: https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/releases/latest

How to make my own modded exe?

How to compile exes:

1. Fork this xray-monolith repo, the main branch is all-in-one-vs2022-wpo
2. Download the fork onto your pc
3. Open Git Bash or terminal in the downloaded folder and run git submodule update --init --recursive to pull git submodules
4. Compile the engine-vs2022.sln solution with VS2022
5. For batch builds of all configurations use batch_build.bat
6. For successful compilation, the latest build tools with MFC and ATL libraries is required

  • ik_always_calc_dist is a distance, under which models will perform calculations even when not in frustum (default 20)
  • In heavily populated maps with loads of entities expect around 2ms less frame time if you are bound by CPU
• Sound:
  • Added distance based delay according to the normal 343m/s speed of sound. Console variables to tweak:
    • snd_distance_based_delay_power controls the delay strength. 0 will disable delay. Default 1
    • snd_distance_based_delay_min_distance controls minimum distance in meters to start noticing the delay. Default 50
