Mod name: PDA maps with point names - map-pack v1.2 - modders resource Author: Lux aka LuxZg Website: stalker.web-pda.info Version: 1.2 Date of original mappack: 30.10.2008. Date of release for this modders resource: 15.02.2009. STALKER CS: 1.5.0.6 Description/Changelog: This is a package of latest "source" files that I've used to create my map-pack v1.2. You'll find one map_*.XCF file for each level that I had modded in my last map pack These XCF files are GIMP original files, that support layers and all. You can find more details below in "USE INSTRUCTIONS" section of this readme. You can't use these files directly in game, you have to open them and save as DDS files. So this is just for people that would like to continue modding maps on the base I have setup already. This is not for "just players". Discussion about this mod and all the separate mods included in this package: http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr2&thm_page=1&thm_id=18415&page=2&sec_id=22 Contact information: If you see that I am not responding to messages on GSC Game forum, or to those on STALKER files (FileFront), and you have something important to tell me regarding this mod - please use this e-mail: >>> pribanic . luka (at) gmail . com <<< Oh, and if you decide to include my maps in any of your mods, be kind and mail me a link or something, just for my archive :) Preview: See individual readme files! Tested: Tested in 1.5.06, works fine, and no problems at all. Future of this mod: Currently there are no future plans. I am uploading xcf files for everyone to use, and continue my work as they see fit. It is always possible that I'll return with another map-pack, but at the moment I can't say if it will happen or when.
