Can't get the controller brain for Sviblov

Hi Everyone !

Wow, what a resourceful site. I've already used it for a few occasions to get through my DMX DKZ / AMK mod, but I think I messed up quite much. The topic is related to a one already submitted here (sorry for the duplicity, however I'm not able to reply to it) - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I teleported from CNPP2...and thought hey, I haven't visited almost no new map in this mod and started to go through my quests + consulted my Stalker Soup guide. I remember this issue but I kinda didn't pay attention to it ( my bad ) and didn't replay the map / situation (though later parts of game really showed me that I really should've) . The brain didn't spawn that day. I remember using a grenade killing both of the controllers.

Is there a way I can spawn the item via the console (without the Atlas mod) or hard-code the item (I think I've found the file) into, for example, Barman's shop portfolio so that I can purchase it and possibly fix my issue? My version has something like Patch 5/29 in the bottom left corner of the main menu.

Thank you all and keep up the great work you do here !

Hi SHODAN486, welcome to the StalkerSoup forum.

I am glad to hear that the info collected here has helped you with other mods. StalkerSoup has diverged considerably from the original mods that TecnoBacon brought together, but there are many sections that may still be relevant.

I don't recognize your patch number 5/29, but it sounds like an old one. I would suggest updating to the latest version to make sure you have all the latest story developments, dialogue improvements and bug-fixes. This may also get some of the newer tasks to work correctly. We are currently at version 1.1.0019.1, which shows at bottom left of the main menu screen as Version 1, Release 1, Revision 0019, Micro Revision 1. (Please note that we are awaiting another major patch, currently in testing, which will complete the main story. I understand that this will include some long-awaited game engine improvements, which means that it will require a new game start.)

As to your question, I would advise against using external mods to change features in StalkerSoup. As I mentioned earlier, StalkerSoup has followed a different path from the original mods, and external modding tools may not work as expected. Fortunately there are some powerful editing tools build into the game itself. You can spawn the Controller Brain that Sviblov wants using the ESC+S menu (ESC key then 's') - ITEMS tab, CORDON section. Click on "red_mozg" then on OK. The brain will appear in your inventory and you should see a prompt to return to Sviblov.

Good hunting, Stalker...

EDIT:
Having re-read what you wrote, I may have misunderstood you. If you are looking for help with the DMX DKZ / AMK mod rather than with StalkerSoup, the spawning tools built in to StalkerSoup will probably not be available to you. In that case you may be able to add the brain to a trader's inventory, or use one of the external tools that you mentioned to spawn it. Assuming that the item name is the same (red_mozg) then adding red_mozg = 1,1 to a trader's inventory might work... assuming that you know how to edit other files to make it a tradeable item. Unfortunately my own knowledge of game editing at that level is somewhat sketchy!  

Good luck...
