I just find out what Infoportions is, yes, I'm the guy who got stuck on the cleanng quest in countryside last week, @Byte Me

I just test it on 1.4.005, but I think it should work in all version of stalker game. Infoportions is the event system of xray engine, AFAIK it controls the mission progress, message state in you PDA and dialog info, maybe there are somthing else.

For example, almost all missions in stalker are made up of four things.

1. get something

2. kill someone or something

3. talk to someone

4. active or use something (press F)

But how the game engine knows you've done these things? For 1, xray engine will check your inventory, for the rest of itmes, the engine will check the "Infoportions" you have, e.g. if you disable the psy-system, the game script will give the event like psy_disabled to trigger the next step. With this system we won't be blocked by any bugs in this game. Here are some real sample.

1. I got stuck on the the last cleanng quest in countryside, just after the controller quest, as I check the script, there should be three waves of mutants, after killing two boars, the major asked me to use the machine gun to take defense position, but nothing happened after I use it, I just check the script and find out one event is not triggered today, "country_major_third_mutant_quest_inside" should be triggered after I use the machine gun, so I just use this tab, input "country_major_third_mutant_quest_inside", then click add/delete, the next waves of mutants appear.

2. Feel tired to get the upgrade information for technician, they are controlled by the Infoportions, you just need to use this tab to add what info you want, here are some samples

info_f2000_upg

info_g36_upg

info_sig550_upg

info_burst_3x_upg

3. This is untested as I just only finished the X7 lab, but I think it should work. We must have all 6 enlightered_docs to enable the "follow the signal" mission, but it's easy to miss one, actually the enlightered_docs are also controlled by the Infoportions, you just need to use this tab to add from "enlightered_docs1" to "enlightered_docs6", then you will find out these informations appear in your PDA, "enlightered_docs4" is bugged, even you have this info the PDA doesn't show the message, but the game script will just check what info you have so I think this can bring you into OSO.
