EDIT : Updated for PATCH 1.504 ... and seems to work with PATCH 1.505

Someone made a database extractor so I made a centre screen HUD with a small crosshair and I added Paddy's Blood ... :D

The HUD still isn't perfect but it is better than the original oversized one.
The crosshair too isn't perfect as by making it smaller prevents the scaling when moving thing from working ... it wasn't much use anyway ... :P
Paddy's Blood is just what I prefer over the original ... :mrgreen:

Firstly to set things up for the mods ...
Go to ... C:Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky ... (or wherever you installed the game)
Make a backup of the file ... fsgame.ltx ... just in case you need to put things back as default.
Now ... open the file ... fsgame.ltx ... with WordPad or NotePad ...

Change the line ...

$game_data$ = false| false| $fs_root$| gamedata

To ...

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata

and save.

Now download this ... S-CS-TH-CS-HUD.rar
Copy the folder called ... gamedata ... from the RAR file to ... C:Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky ... (or wherever you installed the game)

That is it ...

Should you want to put things back as they were just delete the ... gamedata ... folder you made here ... C:Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky

Before ...


After ...


Paddy's blood ...


Blood before ...


Blood after ...


If you don't want to use Paddy's Blood then just remove the ... textures ... folder from here ... C:Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Skygamedata ... (after you have extracted as indicated above).


I haven't played very far into the game so things may not work as intended should the game change things further on in ...
Anyway ... I hope all is OK ... please let me know if you find something very wrong ... 8)

Nice one Paddy, hopefully mine will be here in about a week :)

Excellent! Thanks Paddy.... I can't wait for the Steam release....

Updated for PATCH 1.504 ... :D

Isn't Clear Sky the one that's not out yet. O.o

Same here, got mine early. The game is kicking my ass though.

Ouch!

Might be another game (like witcher) that I am not going to play until a few more patches comes out! Thanks for the mod anyway, Paddy, I'll still want to play it in TH when I decide to do it :p

I will probably be buying Clear Sky later today.. does this work with 1.5.04, and does it fix the dialogs to not stretch across the 3 monitors?

.. does this work with 1.5.04, ...

A few posts up ...

Updated for PATCH 1.504 ... :D

... and does it fix the dialogs to not stretch across the 3 monitors?

No ... if it did I would have mentioned it in the first post ... :wink:

Has anyone been able to get Bezel Management to switch on and off with a hotkey in Clear Sky? As mentioned above, reading dialogue is a real pain as it gets hidden behind the bezel....

Updated for PATCH 1.504 ... :D

Oh I see this now.. you should probably edit your OP for people who aren't planning on reading the whole thread though. Anyhow, thanks for the fix! :D

Hey Paddy does this work with the newest patch 1505? My copy is in the post so I will be looking to play it soon..

Cheers

It appears to work ... let me know if you find anything odd though ... I'll see if I can fix it.
Remember it isn't perfect as some elements of the HUD haven't been fixed for various reasons. ... see the screenshots in the first post.

What is with 1505 and the new 1506 ?

Is the patch working with these versions?

Dunno ... I quickly tried it with the 1.505 and seemed to work ...

I don't have the game installed any more ...
I suggest you give it a try ... it won't do any harm and as explained in that first post the changes can be easily be removed ... :wink:

thx paddy, I will give it a try!

Do NOT do this if you have progressed reasonably far through the game and are running patch 1.07. I managed to nuke my most recent savegames, although saves made after the mod still work. Very gutted.

Thank you.
Working correctly with 1.5.10 :)
