About:

The goal of this mod project was to 'modernize' Shadow of Chernobyl by bringing it as close to its sequels
in terms of gameplay and graphics as possible. All weapons are reanimated using the Clear Sky hand mesh,
overall renderer quality has been vastly increased and the Clear Sky dynamic weather system has been
ported over to the older game. Additionally, blowouts now occur at random, equipment can be repaired by traders,
the ability to sleep has been added to the game and you'll never be disappointed by finding an empty stash again.
The sun, which was removed in the default weather cycle, has been restored and now moves across the sky realistically.   
The trading economy has been significantly tweaked. All traders now sell all weapons, armors and ammo; and the
player starts the game with 6000RU. In addition, ALL submachine guns and almost all shotguns are now secondary
weapons that can be placed in the pistol slot.


Installation:

1) Place the 'gamedata' folder into your main S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl directory:
    e.g.    "C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl"

2) Modify the line in 'fsgame.ltx' to read:
    "$game_data$           = true|        true|    $fs_root$|        gamedata\"

3) Place the custom 'STALKER-SHOC' folder in your 'My Documents' folder, overwriting the old 'user.ltx':
    e.g.    "C:\Users\Public\Documents\STALKER-SHOC"

4) Start a new game and enjoy.

the readme in the original file didn't have a name in it.
