📋 About This Mod

Comprehensive gas masks and night vision visual overhaul for STALKER 2.

GAS MASKS OF THE ZONE is a modified stand alone version I made of the gasmasks and night vision features from

COLD LIGHT: PHOTOREALISTIC ZONE, for those who don't use this mod, but would still love more immersion in STALKER 2.

It features 6 MASK OVERLAYS based on all STALKER 2 helmets and armors types with advanced effects such as glass refraction, haze & tinting,

as well as 5 NIGHT VISIONS settings based on previous STALKER games NVGs and upgrades system.

All is done with custom made code and assets using ReShade framework and all the shaders can be applied below the game's UI and HUD elements.

Everything have been tailored to maximize immersion without getting in the way of gameplay.

It can be used on its own or added on top of another ReShade.

This version has less features than in COLD LIGHT: PHOTOREALISTIC ZONE and is outdated in many ways, still it's a good solution to have.

INSTALLATION:

Download the file and extract all the content into your:

S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64 folder.

S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2\Content\Stalker2\Binaries\WinGDK folder.

Accept overwrite if asked.

CONFIGURATION:

GMZ - GASMASKS OF THE ZONE preset will be loaded by default.

"GMZ - GASMASKS OF THE ZONE" is the name of the preset and where the preset scroll menu is located

Toggle Night Vision with N key

Toggle GasMasks with G Key.

See below if you want to change the shortcuts.

Because a lot of presets come with misconfigured path and settings, GMZ overwrites them with its own ReShade.ini. Here are the new shortcuts keys:

END: toggle ReShade menu

HOME: Toggle ReShade on/off

PRINTSCREEN: Take Screenshot

For those who installed on top of another ReShade: Open ReShade menu with END key and reload your previous preset from the preset tab that is located in the upper part of the ReShade menu:

ADD GMZ TO YOUR RESHADE PRESET:

Below the preset tab is located the Techniques window where you can select your effects.

For those who installed on top of another ReShade, the Technique name to find and enable is called:

GMZ_GASMASK_OF_THE_ZONE:

type "gmz" in the search tab if you have too many effects

HUD & UI PRESERVATION

Located in the Add-ons tab, GMZ comes with an optional setting that allows the shade
