December 30, 2009 -- Update to The MonoMartyrs Seek Revenge (752 KB) updates the MM/AS/ZRP 1.05 RC1 demo's release to version RC2. This patch REQUIRES the 090912 MM/AS/ZRP 1.05 RC1 demo version (next item). It is NOT for ZRP 1.05 Test R10. You do not need to start a new game. What's new is mentioned here.

September 12, 2009 -- The MonoMartyrs Seek Revenge (6.68 MB) is an updated version of the much tougher MonoMartyrs (a free-play enhancement) mini-mod with the Artifact Swap mini-mod, now pre-installed on top of a complete version of ZRP 1.05 RC1. It can be installed over existing MM/AS demo installs and use existing MM/AS saves. And it can be installed over vanilla (patch 1.0004 or later) and use existing vanilla saves! --With the usual limitations and caveats, although you can now continue the game after the normal extended ending.
Otherwise, starting anew is recommended. This archive already includes ALL the Oct-Apr tweaks and fixes listed below as part of ZRP 1.05 RC1. For some details on what is included in this demo, see this blurb.
1.1 alpha r3 MD5 checksum: 715f4c19a4e9323b489a88dc636a585a *Modifier.exe
Again: The demo already includes ZRP 1.05 RC1 with ALL the Oct-Apr tweaks and fixes listed below, including the RC3 all.spawn file.
Be sure to check the web forum sites mentioned at the bottom of the "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - SoC" Stuff page for updates and to input your suggestions if you wish.

May 31, 2009 --

There is no official R11 yet. The demo is just a fully-functional mod.
Read the Readmes, please! Yes, they are not yet easy to understand.
For folks using mods which include the ZRP: Don't use the FileChoice entries of the Modifier, unless the modder says it is okay. (These are marked with a RED warning in the demo's Modifier. Modders should use the demo version, as it is currently the one for the next ZRP release.)

April 29, 2009 -- ZRP 1.05 R11 all.spawn (RC3) (1.26 MB) addresses the dogs of Fox problem and the loose Shaggy prisoner problem, plus a rare vanilla waypoint crash. Includes the NPP Free Play support (next item). Requires ZRP 1.05 Test R10 and starting a new game, but later R11 stuff should not require restarting if you use this, as it will be part of the next ZRP release.

December 16, 2008 -- ZRP Enable NPP Free Play (7 KB) permits the casual exploration of the NPP outdoor levels by removing the timer and ground radiation after you enter the free play mode. ZRP 1.05 Test R5-R10 required but you don't have to start a new game. This will be part of the next ZRP release.

December 4, 2008 -- A replacement Rostok image file and config file pair (352 KB) fixes the Rostok minimap when near the level changer to the Bar as well as tweaking the appearance of the locations and size of the underground levels in your PDA. This fix does not require the ZRP and you don't have to start a new game. This will be part of the next ZRP release.

October 4, 2008 -- A vanilla replacement ZRP Icon Equipment image file (448 KB) provides support for four different mini-mods at once: the ABC Sleeping Bag mod, Decane's Quest Overhaul mod, Save's Carry Mod, and NatVac's Artifact Swap mini-mod. Note that this is not for use with big mods or specialty gun mods, which have their own version.

October 1, 2008 -- You can try EggChen's Fire Tweak particle effects file (200 KB) to see if it reduces lag when looking at campfires or teleport effects. This replaces the vanilla version -- do not use this if you are already using EggChen's Particle Enhancement mod. This will be included in the next ZRP release.

Please do not directly link to the download files, as these locations and names will be changing! Link instead to this page.
The ZRP has a few default settings to reduce the complaints many make and to enhance the game experience without changing gameplay. However, you might want to suffer a bit first. To get almost pure vanilla out of the 1.05 version of the ZRP, run the Modifier program. Click on the following entries and follow the instructions, clicking the Apply button after making changes to each entry:

_ZRP Mod Stuff -- uncheck Automatic ammo boxing and Antirad Hotkey checkboxes
Quest Time Limits -- set quest_time_factor to 1, uncheck any checked checkboxes
Secret Stash Stuff -- uncheck any checked checkboxes
Sound Annoyances -- uncheck any checked checkboxes
Trade and Search Screens -- select "Vanilla Screens"

A release candidate version (2.4 MB) of the upcoming 1.05 release of the Zone Reclamation Project bug-fix mod for STALKER is available. It works as is for 1.0004, 1.0005, and 1.0006 patches. It includes optional mod addons like the IG2007/Dunin ammo aggregator (default on), the Stalkers Are Not Blind 0.99 anomaly evasion mod by Red75 (not default), Decane's basic Quest Overhaul (not default) and a Screw Repair Mod (not default). 1.1 alpha r2 MD5 checksum: c50599c35b53cdb6bc4436238c62288d *Modifier.exe

2008/05/05 -- Release 10: A stable release candidate with TZIO and Free Play improvements.
2008/04/19 -- Release 9: Decane's Quest Overhaul Lite option.
Lots of Modifier additions, including Real Gun Names, EggChen's Firelight.
Still more TZIO and Free Play improvements. New chapter images by TSL16b.
More modding support, bug fixes and workaround improvements.
2008/04/07 -- Release 8: TSL16b's svelte TZIO dialog, customizable intra-level jump capability.
2008/03/20 -- Release 6: The Zone Is Open. Start anywhere, anywhen.
(Yes, this even means Free Play. Think about it.)

2008/02/26 -- Release 4: new screen choice, no more lights in the ground, no free repair.
2008/02/22 -- Release 3: antirad hotkey fix and more trade/search screen choices.

2008/02/12 -- Initial test release.

The Zone Reclamation Project is an ongoing community-supported bug fix mod for the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl" by GSC GameWorld.

2008/11/12 -- ZRP 1.04c (2 MB) has undergone a small refresh to support Don Reba's Smart Mod Manager. This version is deprecated. You should use ZRP 1.05 Test; version 1.04c is provided for those sites and forum posts that directly link to the file until the 1.05 release can be finalized.

2007/12/16 -- The 1.04c release of the Zone Reclamation Project is a version that supports both 1.0004 and 1.0005 patches.

If you didn't get here from the main page for the ZRP mod, click this link for more details about the ZRP and the optional Modifier program.

August 27, 2007 -- A Treasure Manager Hack (6 KB) for patch 1.0001 and patch 1.0003. For later patches you should use the ZRP instead. This hack is discussed in the thread "Treasure Manager Hack to Reduce Stash Spam" at the GSC website.

August 6, 2007 -- The Alternities 1 Mod (413 KB) is an old FPS version of STALKER for 1.0001/1.0003 only. An introduction to the Alternities 1 mod can be seen here, with the readme and discussion thread here.
Update: A version supporting 1.0004/1.0005 is planned.
