STALKER is a truly “folk” game in which you can not only use major modifications from craftsmen, but also make changes to the gameplay yourself. For example, using simple editing of some files, you can change the parameters of the character and the physics of the game.
Of course, if you go too far with the settings, you can turn the game into a real circus. But if you increase the jump in the "Stalker" by an acceptable value, then during the passage it will become much easier for you to climb up the hill. This is especially true in cases where you need to get to a hidden cache, check an inaccessible place or overcome fields with traps that are quite common.
How to change the jump?
We need the folder in which the game is installed. By default, the installer copies the game files to a directory with the name of the game, which is located on the system drive in Program Files. If you changed the installation path, you can see it in the properties of the shortcut.
Once in the folder, you need to open the gamedata section and go to config in it. Here the user should find a file called actor.ltx. If you cannot do this manually, then use the search built into Windows Explorer.
To increase the jump in "Stalker", the file must be opened in any text editor. The easiest way to do this is through the standard Notepad. To do this, right-click on the file and select "Open with." In the window that appears, you need to specify a text editor.
File editing
To increase the jump height in "Stalker", you need to find the line "jump_speed". This will help the search that opens when you press the key combination Ctrl + F and enter the search word.
On the contrary, jump_speed defaults to 6 - this is a standard jump. To increase the height, just change this number and save the file with the new parameters. The maximum value is 99 units.
What to put?
You need to determine the optimal value. The fact is that 99 jump units will not lead to anything good, because when you land, your character will simply crash due to the huge amount of damage at the time of the collision. For the hero to jump higher, it is enough to raise the value to 7-9. Usually this is enough for exploring inaccessible places and collecting rare artifacts. To use loopholes between locations, it is better to set 20-30 units. Find the middle ground between the values and enjoy high jumps without threatening the life of your hero and passing the game successfully!
