NOTE
This conversion was based on GOG versions, it's probably compatible with Steam and retail versions, but please check file lists before doing the conversion. Installer doesn't support redists, so you can put them all wherever you want. Also, I've tested only with one language, English in my case, and without multiplayer maps so some differences in size may occur. Bear in mind, that the conversion will include all language and multiplayer files. Mods will probably fit in the conversion without affecting the size too much. After the installation, right click on the desktop shortcut of
CS and
CoP and delete
\bin from
Start in field to avoid error not related to the conversion.
1. Install the games and extract attachment somewhere on your computer,
NOT in the game installation directory
2. Make one folder on your computer, name it whatever you like, create 3 folders in it and name them:
SoC for
Shadow of Chernobyl,
CS for
Clear Sky and
CoP for
Call of Pripyat. Now move files from your installation directories to the appropriate newly created folders.
3. Delete all unwanted language files from game folders (you can also delete
mp folder if you don't want multiplayer)
4. Go to the
My Documents and compress with
FreeArc following folders:
Stalker-COP, Stalker-SHOC and
Stalker-STCS to the
Data5.cab and move it to DVD2
5. Start
Compress.bat, enter the path of your folder containing all three games, wait for it to compile
6. Make ISO files or put all
Data cabs in the first folder and test before burning
CHANGES:
1.1
- added components, now you can install individual games instead of the whole package, fixed setup.ini. No need to do conversion again, just replace Setup.exe
