How do I revert back to patch v1.0005?

I'm trying to install this mod pack:http://www.moddb.com/members/boredgunner/news/stalker-shadow-of-chernobyl-mod-pack-2013

It tells me to delete a bin folder, but I'm not sure which one. The first part of the mod comes with its own bin folder. Do I delete the one from SoC?

There is no real way to revert back to the v1.0005. Can only go forward. See if the mod says if it will conflict with the updated 1.6ver. If not I try it anyway. The newer version is more for fixes regarding MP game issues and not so much for the single player game..

As for the Bin folder, I would just re-name it like b_n and not deleate it. What if you dump the mod in and the bin folder that came with the mod conflicts with the games dbase files or something and won't run, Here you can delete the mod bin and data file and rename the old B_n to Bin..

That way you won't have to uninstall and re-install the entire game. Uninstalling will not remove the data file, and if the bin file uses edited dll's or exe's and dosen't reconize them, it will leave them behind too turning everything into a mess and only hope it will re-write it over. See what I am saying?

Thanks for the suggestion. So I should just rename the bin folder in SoC local files. What about the bin folder from the mod? Do I extract that? It doesn't say to, only the gamedata. But then why is it there?

Also, about the other thread. If it's low shadow quality, how would I increase it?

That is done in the game menu for the graphics, you will see a tab say advanced, click on that and it will display all setting availble from graphics, shadows, lights, to object distance of your visability.

Dose the readme file state what the game adds. Sometimes a mod will use its own bin file because the modder decomplied it to add other options to it. For example, SOC is written for vehicles, so all the vehicles that was available for the game will function properly, were COP dose not, so you can use a spawn mod to have the vehicles, but you need the bin file that has been edited to make the cars work, see what I am saying?

Now the bin folder is in the main SOC folder its self, remember to re-name it first before you drag and drop the mod version...
