HollywoodFX on CoTZ install instructions - please test and report Thread - DoctorX Call of The Zone mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Call of The Zone is a standalone modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – Call of Pripyat that allows you to explore the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – a desolate and highly contaminated region of Ukraine that has been abandoned and closed off for decades ever since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. What has been going on in this irradiated wasteland since then? There are no shortage of rumors and conspiracy theories, each more fantastic than the last. Rumors of mutated wildlife, brainwashed cults, secret experiments, and unexplainable paranormal events abound, as do promises of great riches and wildest dreams coming true for those who are daring or desperate enough to try to break through the cordon. You are about to find out for yourself what is true and what is yet undiscovered, and experience for yourself all the Zone has to offer... or to take from you.

For people interested in trying HollywoodFX on CoTZ: - download the anomaly addon That's basically it. There are a bunch of things to consider though, most importantly your graphics card's video memory. I think the default setting in this is HollywoodFX; all bells and whistles and particles physicsing and all that good stuff. If your PC can't handle it, try the other particles files in HFX' options folders. Realistic reduces the amount of FX, Minimal reduces the amount further and disables physics interaction with the particles. To properly use the correct smoke and muzzle flashes the weapon config files need to be patched. I've already done this for AO3. I could do that for vanilla as well, but here's the thing: even on the lowest setting the game runs out of video memory in literally 10 minutes or less, at least on my system, and that's with the no_staging thing. I just don't have the video memory for it. Those 10 minutes were pretty epic though. Anomalies look particularly pretty with this. So, request for the community: could you see if this crashes your system as hard as it does mine? Thanks! Edited by: Mahzra |

It would also be nice to know how much video memory this actually needs, so please report back if it works or not and mention your graphics card specs.Only registered members can share their thoughts.
