Simple Faction Relation PDA Tracker (for Free Play) v1.0
A simple Faction Relation PDA tracker that shows every Hostile / Friendly faction.
COMPATIBLE WITH ONGOING SAVES AND VANILLA, BUT READ DETAILS
– The problem to solve: The base game gives you a quest when you become hostile with a few factions, but function is unfinished. Since there is no relation tracking in Stalker 2 (not yet), I wanted something for Free Play that notifies you on major relation changing events. I never tested with Vanilla, but it should work: it’s just journal side mission hooked on events.
– Current solution (hobo version): You have 2 side missions: Hostile Factions (originated from Vanilla) and Friendly Factions (totally new). Both quests show every faction that belongs to that certain relation level. When a faction is no longer Hostile/Friendly, they will get a checkmark and a new message, so it is kind of a log as well.
– Limitations: Every major faction (even some of the subfactions) have their message, however these messages are created on OnBecomeHostile/Friend events, so if you install the mod, but you are already hostile/friendly, it won’t show the message. But it will give you notification on any hostile/change from that moment.
– If you start a new game with Relation System Overhaul you will be instantly notified about all your hostile relations, because a script setting your relations after you spawned, and the game reacts to it (and later on, the friends). I am already working on solving this issue and making it compatible with ongoing saves to reflect current relations, but it is much more complicated.
– Limitations 2: Since the game only provides onBecomeHostile/Friend events, and Disaffection+Neutral levels are missing, there is no quest for those relation levels. If I manage to fix Limitation 1, that means I automatically managed to fix this one as well, because the technical solution is similar. We’ll see.
– Localization: I had to add messages for the Friendly tracker (and a few new for Hostile), so localization is needed. But a lot of other mods are merged into it, and has all the other overhaul lines as well.
Future of the mod
Currently there is no way to show actual reputation values.
The final goal would be to have a separated tab or side quest for each relation level with the related factions (Enemy, Disaffected, Neutral, Friendly).
Also it would be nice to able make it work outside of OnBecome events, so that they can pick up relations from ongoing saves.
I am also experimenting with extending the current notification system with relation changing events and relation gain indication, so that you will see a notification every time you gain reputation for a task.
