I have the same problem as the above:
FATAL ERROR
[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File : E:\stalker\patch_1_0004\xr_3da\xrGame\script_engine.cpp
[error]Line : 73
[error]Description : <no expression>
[error]Arguments : LUA error: ... of chernobyl\gamedata\scripts\dialog_manager.script:393: attempt to compare number with nil
stack trace:
I'm running Windows XP, with the the Steam version. I used the HispanoPatcher to get to 1.0004 because 1.0005 isn't supported. Latest version downloaded. Am using a cracked .exe because the STEAM version doesn't have a CD. Whenever attempting to load a saved game, it will crash. No other mods, fresh reinstall of it.
EDIT: I also recieve a similar message WITHOUT AMK when I talk to an NPC about anything interesting. I think this may be due to the Hispano Patcher and not AMK.

The problem I think is having here concerns the change in .dll's and other files by the Hispano patcher. It EXPECTS you to have a CD! Even using a no CD patch will result in IT SEARCHING FOR A FILE IN A PLACE THAT IT ISN'T AT! Look at the directory. E:\. Since you install it to C:\ in Steam most of the time, it's looking in a CD drive for the file! This means that in order for it to work you have to mount an image of what it's looking for or it will always fail! But I don't really know what I'm talking about as much as the people at AMK and it is better that they clarify.
