@Tuffgong: Yes, well, the Europian release. I would guess there isnt much of a difference between the two. I have cheacked out filefront, there is definitely some mods there. But none that really does anyting to the graphics. At least not what I expected. But like you said, its still pretty early on so I guess hoping for good mods this soon is probably not reality. I really just wanted to see if I could find some interesting things to tweak. Not looking for anything in particular. I havent played that much around with mods previously. Only some on Crysis. I peronally really enjoy the graphics on CoP. No complaints at all. Whats your opinion on the graphics btw? @SPACETURTLE: As someone who practically whole days modding Shadow of Chernobyl, I can tell you it's a good idea to wait. Actually I'm a heavy mod user with certain games (Oblivion I spent ages modding) and in my experience you have to wait for a texture mod that increases the resolution of game assets. Otherwise you won't see too many mods that change the in-game graphics options. Graphical overhauls usually take time so you won't see too many of those near launch. That and sometimes you just won't see certain mods until the game has been out for a few months. I usually buy games at the end of each year so I'll unfortunately won't dive back into Stalker until that time comes. However the wallpaper I have right now of some greeny/brown area when it's raining says it will probably be awesome. Depends on what you wanna tweak. Most of what you probably wanna tweak (shadows, gloss, texture LOD, depth of field blur, etc.) is in the user.ltx file created the first time you ran the game. Should be in a folder in either My Documents or Public Documents -- not sure which. There's absolutely no reason to wait for mods other than the fact that there aren't many available on English sites yet. Most of the best mods for earlier Stalker games were of Russian origin, and they've had this game since October. This game isn't 'so close to release,' it's just 'close to localization'. There are some good mods for this gamealready, such as the ones that allow the mechanics to offer both upgrades instead of locking the other off once you bought one. Have a look around the to see what's available so far. You'll probably also find some information on how to tweak your user.ltx to your preferences. @MrKlorox: Oh, nice! I found one mod on filefront which was really awesome, called 'atmosfear'. The Folder with the order is a document in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Description Edit The Folder with the order is the first of seven documents in the Jupiter factory complex that are part of the Road to Pripyat mission. Looks really sweet. Anywho, I would love to learn how to tweak the game on my own by messing around in the.ltx file. I did take a look at it to see if there where anything I might grasp so I could do just that - tweak it myself. But didnt get much of what was going on there. So I will definitely check out the GSC forums as you recommended to see if I could acquire some knowledge about the ltx file. Also to check if there is some mods already there. I would guess many of the mods laying around the net is just the user.ltx file, only with some values changed, right? Except for the 'atmosfear' mod and probobly others like it, cause it was some aditional files there which needed to be placed in the root folder. Most mods are usually just ltx file alterations, but not always the user.ltx. Ft 736r manual. The gamedata.db* files can be unpacked and are full of ltx text files (along with the usual stuff like textures and levels and sounds, etc.) to really dig into if you're the type to do so. Many such alterations from earlier stalker games work with CoP, even if the files themselves are incompatible. So look around the mod discussion forums of those games as well as CoP for insight on how to bring over basic things. Here are the major changes in my user.ltx that I got off some forum post. They fixed most of my sun shadow problems and helped the DOF blur and adjustment to darkness.
