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 overriden 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

  • 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.

  • Possibility to unlocalize Lua variables in scripts before loading, making them global to the script namespace

    • 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 transforms, 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

  • Pseudogiant stomps now can kill and damage any object, stalker or mutant, instead of only actor, configurable via console commands

  • In case of missing translation for a string, the engine will fallback to english text for this string.

  • Additional functions and console commands described in lua_help_ex.script

  • Additional callbacks described in callbacks_gameobject.script

  • Additional edits and bugfixes by demonized

    • Restored "Fatal Error" MessageBox popup in case of encountering fatal engine errors like it was on Windows 7 or lower
    • In case of typical first person model/animation errors, the game will print the section that has defined model
    • MAX_TRIS const increased from 1024 to 16384
    • Enabled death animations for CWeaponAutomaticShotgun class
    • Fixed sorting news in News Tab in PDA
    • Added getting material of ray_pick() result with all of its properties
    • Potential fix for stuck monsters from OGSR Engine repo in control_animation_base_accel.cpp
    • Removed maximum engine limit of 5 artefacts on belt
    • 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

  • Fixes and features by Lucy

  • Fixes and features by DPurple

    • Fix of using %c[color] tag with multibyte font causing unexpected line ending by DPurple
    • Ability to autosave the game before crash occurs, can be disabled with console command crash_save 0 and enabled with crash_save 1. Maximum amount of saves can be specified with command crash_save_count <number>, where number is between 0 to 20 (default is 10)

  • Smooth Particles with configurable update rate by vegeta1k95

    • To change update rate use console command particle_update_mod which takes values from 0.04 to 10.0 (default is 1.0). 1.0 corresponds to 30hz, 0.5 - 60hz and so on. The setting is also available in the options menu in "Modded Exes" group
    • Possibility to set particle update delta in milliseconds in .pe files for fine tuning with update_step field

  • Shader Scopes by CrookR and enhanced by Edzan, comes ready to use in the archive, delete old version first

    • Dynamic zoom is disabled by default for alternative sights (can be enabled by adding scope_dynamic_zoom_alt = true to the weapon section). For example, if you take SVD Lynx or SVD PMC with March Tactical (or other sights with adjustable zoom) and switch to alternate sight, they wont have dynamic zoom anymore
    • Possibility to set alternative sight crosshair and zoom_factor with scope_texture_alt = <path to texture> and scope_zoom_factor_alt = <number> parameters in weapon ltx
    • The main sights with dynamic zoom and binoculars now normally remember their state.
    • Added console command sds_enable [on (default)/off] to enable/disable Shader Based 2D Scopes.
    • Added sds_speed_enable [on (default)/off] console command to disable/enable mouse speed (sensitivity) effect of scope_factor when aiming.
    • Added console command sds_zoom_enable [on (default)/off] with which you can disable /enable correction of max. zoom with scope_factor, if this option is enabled then max. zoom will be such as prescribed in settings regardless of scope_factor value, if this option is disabled then max. zoom will be sum of value prescribed in settings and the increase that gives scope_factor.

    Above mentioned options are applicable only for scopes which have prescribed values in file scoperadii.script

    • Added alternative zoom control (toggle with new_zoom_enable [on/off (default)]
      • Minimal zoom is equal to either mechanical zoom or the one prescribed in section min_scope_zoom_factor.
      • The step of zoom adjustment is more precise. Also, it's possible to adjust the step of zoom with the console command zoom_step_count [1.0, 10.0], this option is also applicable to the binoculars.
    • In the new version all implementations from fakelens.script have moved directly to the engine. fakelens.script remained as a layer between the engine and scopeRadii.script

  • All settings can be edited from the game options in "Modded Exes" tab image

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Q: The game crashes when using reshade and trying to switch resolution/change graphics settings/init vid_restart command
  • A: This is due to Reshade versions shenanigans. The latest tested version that doesn't crash while doing stuff in question is 5.7.0, you can download it here: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_5.7.0_Addon.exe. If you wish to use later versions, try not to change graphics settings with them.

Below are the edits that are supplemental to the mods, the mods themselves are not included, download the mods by the links. If mods in the links provide their own exes, you can ignore them, all necessary edits are already included on this page.

How to make my own modded exe?

How to compile exes:

  1. Fork xray-monolith repo from https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith
  2. Clone the fork onto your pc
  3. Select all-in-one-vs2022-wpo branch
  4. Compile the engine-vs2022.sln solution with VS2022
  5. For batch builds of all configurations use batch_build.bat in xray-monolith repo
  6. For successful compilation, the latest build tools with MFC and ATL libraries is required
