Old Beta Level Mods?

Are there any mods that have already been released that include levels from the orginal build, or orginal levels or ones that have been imported from the other games? I've seen lost slpha and presky, but they aren't released yet, somebody let me know please.

Thank you

Thank you! Downloading it now, looks interesting! Do you happen to know up to what patch the most recent english translation of it is releviant to? Also are there any mods, perhaps for the other stalker games?

Thanks, once again.

As i see the levels list, this mod has not much to do with old beta levels. There are levels from CS, from COP, and the only one Generators (build1935) you could see in the Kostya map pack too. Although i don't know the "black lake", "Catacombs", "Underground Tunnel", "covert", "bubble", "military laboratories", "East Canyon Reservoir" maps, maybe some of them is a renamed version of an old beta level, for example military laboratories can be the Warlab from build 1935, which is in kostya map pack too. Maybe someone who is familiar with old builds and this mod can enlight this topic.

Either way that's okay with me, I'm looking for any mods to do with area expansion, can't wait to give this a play.

Lost World mods series use Stalker Map Pack with all addons.
So, you can found 4 levels from builds:
Generators
Old Yantar
Old Swamp
Old Garbage

Others level come from CS, CoP or are created by mappers.

This is the same map pack used by Secret Trails or NS DMX mods.

Lost World Troops of Doom and Secret trails mod are total conversion mod with new storyline.
NS DMX use vanilla storyline, but it's the largest soc mod (a lot of new things).

So, you have choice.

Yes, this levels are empty in Stalker Map Pack + addons. Not in mods that use Stalker Map Pack.
My old project was to add spawn in SMP, but i stopped it (i added spawn in Old Swamp,CS Marsh and Predbannik level in 3.5 months). It's a too long work : around 20 empty levels, so around 15-20 months of work for a single modder because we can not use LE to add spawn = i can not convert 4 levels to open them in LE.
And aiwrapper didn't work with smp.

NS DMX use all.spawn, add new smarties/respawn for mutants, npc and anomalie/level_changer in empty levels.

It's the same thing for Lost World Requital/Troops of Doom but without respawn system.
So in LW mod, levels are empty if player kill all enemies. I think it's a big failing in this mod.

Secret Trails use script for spawn adding and doesn't have respawn system. But storyline is very good and player can not travel in each level for a long time. So respawn absence isn't a problem.
Player go in one level, complete a few quest (with spawn by script) and go to another level.

I know that Bamah worked on a StalkerMapPack based mod with OGSE system that include spawn/respawn/smarties system by script.
But i didn't release it.

So we have 3 different mods that use SMP and add different spawn.

It exist one other mod, but it contain a lot of mistake and don't add many spawn.

I'm downloading ns dmx right now, looks fantastic, but are any of these mods in english? I found translations for Troops of doom but I could not get the game to work. Tell me more about NS DMX is you can, what does it stand for?

I'am Australian by the way, I soemtimes find modding stalker difficult because of the language barriers.

Troops of Doom must be built onto patch 1.006. I found this patch on Stalker files. I never completed Troops of Doom but spent many hours on it and thought it was a great mod. As well as repairs another feature it adds is upgrades. Although there not as detailed as CS\COP upgrades you have choices for weapons and outfits. Like said due to no respawns it becomes an empty zone but if you want to play a game where you playthrough from start to end doing quests etc as offered then it is a great mod, just don't bother playing it if you want one of them mods where you can spend months roaming the zone repeatedly visiting the same areas again and again. If played from start to finish where you travel the zone going from map to map as the game requires doing what is available task wise then it is an awesome mod and a great playthrough imo.

Everything you want to know about Degtarev's zone is in the: COP Survival guide http://cop.zsg.dk/
