New levels 0.31 addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

The Zone is unpredictable. Last changes in the Zone have opened a path to a new area known as Promzone. Accessed through routes in the Army Warehouses and Truck Cemetery. It is populated with mutants of all kinds, but Stalkers have already started exploring it, looking for new artifacts and riches. Additionally some of the factions have already begun to skirmish with each other for control of the new region. With the dangerous anomaly fields to search, it'll be a risky, yet rewarding place to explore. xd

Promzone has 8 anomaly zones and 15 new smart terrains, as well as approximately 40 stashes to find.

Yet another map appeared in the Zone - Grimwood. Deep forest that isolates (hide?) mercenaries from the rest of the zone. Main road is usually safe enough, but all the treasures lie deep inside the forest, which is filled with anomalies and mutants. Grimwood is located between Army Warehouses and Dead City, has transition routes to Army Warehouses, Dead City, Red Forest.

Grimwood has 8 anomaly zones, 17 smart terrains and around 40 stashes.

Longreed, who did most of the work: rebuilt Anomaly spawn, ability to add new levels by merging level's spawn with Anomaly's, porting level, help with level object placements/configs/code/fixes and literally everything else.

ISOTD3 TEAM for their level, thanks guys ;]

Thundervision for finding new levels and helping with it.

Red Panda (Sobolevskiy), Roman-n and everyone who help them keep up the modified SDK 0.8, nice, fast and the only one that did not crash for me xd

demonized for DLTX and Unlocalizer.

RavenAscendant for tasks_guide.script from his "guide task fix" addon (game somehow crashing if we dont add new level here, so I just added a fixed version from Raven + no need to patch it).

CatBites for PDA map retexture.

1) Install lattest demonized's binaries >> binaries here << . Need it for DLTX and Unlocalizer.

2) Install (Main) from addon zip.

3) Install (Patch) if you use any of listed in patches addon.

4) Install this for a few more small fixes (Warfare/Warfare alife overhaul/PDA zones display after loading) >>Click<<

If you have crash saying something about "level.hom" and then it's "stack trace: at address..." - try to delete "configs/environment/ambients" folder from my addon. Although these files have reference to vanilla ambient files that should always exist, some modpacks may delete them entirely (idk why) and then you'll get this crash.

Addon requires new game unfortunately, but I made an addon that can export some of your progress from another save New Game+ addon . I left a suggestion in Anomaly server how it is maybe possible to remove the need of starting new game, but I'm not an expert in it. Let's see if it can be figured out in the future, for now - it is new game only ;[

I tried to patch all vanilla scripts and DLTX should handle configs, but there is one file I can't do anything about it is:
"dialogs.xml", if some of your addons change it - you need to patch it by yourself (if you know basic ltx/xml merging and have Compare plugin it should not be hard, compare to vanilla first to see where the changes are).

Addon also contains some of Longreed's fixes for vanilla:
1) Addition to other Longreed's addon (and similar one from Kronq) Moddb.com , to fix the rest of "stuck artefact" issues.
2) Removed companion restrictor in x16 lab (leftover from previous mods).
3) Bugfix of Pripyat Outskirts where you could get into x8 without turning on the generator.
4) Bugfix for a few stashes.

5) Bugfix for a killer chair under Clear Sky medic.

This is our first try on a new level, requires new game (for now) and you can't remove it mid-game, so be warned. I tested it as much as I could. If you like to start new games often and always wanted new levels - this is for you and you will help us with feedback ;] Some addons that have their own level tables will need a script patch, I'll try to add everything I could in the future, this won't require new game. Currently have native patches for my Interactive PDA, Toxic Air and NPC rank based travelling.

Will try to add more new levels if we'll have the energy for it, coz even 1 was very exhausting ;p
