We have been working on this mod since early May, and now it's finally ready! We wanted to release it in August, but when the new patch came, we had to re-create the mod from the beginning. To tell you the truth, when we noticed in early July that we can add level changers we decided to release Priboi later and released the free-play mod first. Eventually that mod turned into the base for this one, and also the Oblivion Lost mod. We added many more changes and features since then, so we hope you will enjoy this game as much as we did the developing it...
..:: PRIBOI — A NEW STORYLINE MOD ::..
Approximately one year has passed since the Marked One's story. You are the military Lieutenant Priboi Slipchenko, and you were sent into the Zone... There was a secret organization, called UHSF, and they were responsible for the incident. They had a base at Dead City (Limansk?) but the mercenaries whipped them out in the late 80's. The organization fell apart, and the last living members disappeared until today. Somehow this story is connected to the Marked One's story, and you'll eventually find out how. Over 20 important classified documents were hidden in the zone and you will need to find them to complete the puzzle. You will need to be 'Sherlock Holmes' and dig deeper in the zone then you have ever done before. If you find a missing document, you will need to read it to obtain information about the case, or get some clues about where to look next. You are in the Zone again, but it has changed. While the zone appears to have become a better place to survive in, but this has only caused it to become more difficult as it has driven more mutants from the center of the zone, and has increased the amount of threats in the Zone. The mercenaries have gained control on the Agroprom factory, and the military was pushed back to Cordon. You might be their only hope...
At the game start, you will need to read the PDA, and make sure to check it often! It will be helpful, and you can find anything you want in the PDA. After you talk to the military commander and the major, do not forget to talk to 'buddy' too. He is the village chief. Almost every conversation was re-written, so you should talk a lot with people. During your missions, you will notice the Zone from a different person's perspective. You will know the secrets that you were unable to find in the Marked One's story... You may meet with Strelok, Doc, and of course Dezik Lohnar (dezodor), Kanyhalos, NatVac, Don Reba, Siro, Darius6 and a lot of important members of the dez0wave team.
We wish you a good play!
**One question, you may ask after you read this text: What is UHSF?
UHSF is the one and only United Hungarian Stalker Forums. So nothing big, it's just our camp in the Zone world. If you are wandering around, just check in, and grab a beer, or two.

..:: MOD 1.2 Patch & Rerelease Info ::..
The fixes and new features that will be in the new patch & re-release:
- Fixed the blowout spawnings, now you won't see hordes of zombies near the levelchangers in army warehouses...
- Fixed blowout spawning, now you wont find artifacts out of the level borders...
- When the blowout starts, you will have 2 minutes before the real madness happens, and the hideouts will be marked on the map
- The warzone was fixed in Bar. Now the mercenaries, bandits, and freedomers will randomly attack the area, and you can help the dutiers and stalkers to fight off the enemies
- Some cool coop missions with npcs, like at Agroprom and Stancia, since many users said its a bit too hard if you are alone
- Now if you change level during the blowout, or reload a savegame the game will remember to the blowout, so you cant bypass it this way
- Now npcs will use towers to snipe from, or hide in funny places, so be ready for surprises
- Some descriptions were missing, so we added them back
- Some icons were added for the explosives (instead of the default grenade icon)
- Gasmask can be used at some areas to avoid instant death 
- Tushknanos will have food when you kill them (can not trade it, but it reduces hunger & health too)
- Fixed the crash on death
- Fixed some dialogs and grammar errors
- Added some new tasks, you can get them from Voronin, the duty leader
- PLR Weapons mod will be used if allowed
- Fixed "double clicking" bug (binoculars, pda, knife, ...)
- Fixed some minor issues with tasks
- If you pick up a doc, it will vanish from your inventory, but you will get its contents in pda's encyclopedia, this will make finding the required texts faster, and the documents wont use up the needed place in your inventory
- The tasks will have better descriptions, some of them will contain small maps too
- Reworked Storm (new sounds, better lightnings)
- New authentic harmonica songs (also npcs will use harmonica)
- New main menu theme song (composed by dezodor)
