Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
GSC Game World released Phase 2 of the Zone Kit mod development kit for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The update makes more of the internal tools used in the game's actual development available to modders. Players can now create original stories and quests, edit in-game text, add custom sounds and dialogue, save and load mod data, and test mods directly in the editor. Zone Kit remains free on the Epic Games Store.
The headline addition in Phase 2 is visual scripting: quests and story beats can now be assembled without writing code by hand. Text editing covers every string in the game, and the sound tools extend to dialogue and narration as well as effects. A Play In Editor mode lets modders test their work without leaving the kit. Zone Kit remains free on the Epic Games Store, and the update is expected to lead to more advanced mods.
- Original stories and quests: visual scripting for quests and story beats
- In-game text editing: create, edit, insert, and delete any text
- Custom sound and effects: includes dialogue and narration
