Vivid HD Icons + B&S + SS&S + TOC + Mags Patch v1.3  

Vivid HD Icons + B&S + SS&S + TOC + Mags Compatibility Patch v1.3

For STALKER: Anomaly 1.5.0 B3 U4/H8 - English only (for now...)

It annoyed me that I could not use the Vivid Colors & Icons add-on together with Trader Overhaul Complete and Anomaly Magazines due to missing/blank item icons. This solves that problem.

This add-on replaces the one conflicting file in all of these mods:

../gamedata/textures/ui/ui_icon_equipment.dds

And this file that conflicts in B&S and SS&S:

../gamedata/configs/text/eng/st_items_weapons.xml

It may be possible for me to add compatibility for other add-ons; this depends on where they place their icons in the sprite sheet.

Installation

Install any of the listed mods you'd like to play with. Here is a suggestion for install order:

1. Install Shotgun Scopes & Sights
2. Install Boomsticks & Sharpsticks.
3. (Optional) Install New Item and Armor Icons/HD Icons.
4. Install Trader Overhaul Complete.
5. Install Anomaly Magazines.
6. Install this patch. There is no need to install Vivid Colors & Icons.

Then, extract the gamedata directory inside '../Main Compatibility Patch' to your STALKER: Anomaly directory. If you are using both B&S and SS&S, also extract the gamedata directory in '../Optional B&S + SS&S Config Patch' to your STALKER: Anomaly directory.

You do not require any of the above mods to use this add-on as it is only a compatibility patch.

Changelog

v1.3 - 1/9/2020:
Fixed an incorrect XML tag in st_items_weapons.xml that was causing Anomaly to crash.

v1.2 - 1/9/2020:
I've merged the English weapon descriptions for Boomsticks & Sharpsticks and Shotgun Scopes & Sights, which makes this a real compatibility patch (instead of just an icon merge) as far as the UI is concerned!

v1.1 - 1/8/2020:
Some users have reported issues with icon size in-game, so I have re-exported the DDS using BC3-DXT5 compression with no mipmaps in an attempt to correct this. The original v1.0 release was exported using BC3-DXT1 compression with mipmaps.

v1.0 - 1/7/2020:
Original release.
