An English translation for a large mod pack for Call of Chernobyl.

Install instructions:

MLR: main files

MLR: translation files, on this page

MLR is a large-scale mod created for version 1.4.22 of Call of Chernobyl by the Eastern S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community, featuring new quests, new features, an integrated version of STCoP, and new and revamped content, such as a merge and streamline of the Cordon and Darkscape maps (the latter map is no longer anywhere as large!).

The English translation is based on a previous translation made for an older version of MLR in the Last Day mod pack, which some of you may be familiar with.

Any feedback or help with the translation is welcome; it has a repository on GitHub with details for each file!

MLR is generally incompatible with anything there are no compatibility patches for. If a file from any other addon conflicts with MLR, it is best not to apply it.

The mod pack is compatible with conflicting files from any graphical add-ons, although some locations have been converted in the SDK, meaning their respective LODs have been edited. If you wish not to see any stretched ZIL trucks on the horizon, do not replace any of MLR’s files in the gamedata\levels folder with any files from other graphical add-ons.

1.3 – 2018-03-14

Large textual update. It is likely to be the last update to appear in a while, as the translation is, for the most part, complete, and no further progress on any other content of the mod can be made while the original author of the mod is on an indefinite hiatus.
