lets break those geneva conventions baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks OP gonna subliminally message myself to commit war crimes against aid workers that are just there to help using this mod that way i can undermine their cause with copyright technicalities.
its the copyright technicalities that get aid workers shot, you see; its not the frequent contact with paramilitaries uninitiated to or unsympathetic to their cause because of lack of communications access and international political knowledge. after all, people have access to video game systems and downloads when they don't have access to the internet, much less pamphlets saying "we are not here to fucking kill you, we are literally doctors for anyone who needs us"

@Hera Well it literally became the universal symbol because of them

If we're being technical about it:
White cross on Green background: First Aid
White Cross on Red background: Swiss Flag
Green Cross on White background: Assorted health and environmental safety organizations
Red Cross on White background: International Red Cross aid organization

A red cross means neutral party/help everyone, They will save your life if asked, not just the opponents'. It started as an aid society in Switzerland in the 1860s, and the symbol is intentionally the inverse of that nation's flag. The symbol for first aid was developed much later, with multiple informal notations until an ISO standard in 2003.

Yeah, I know this is probably just screaming in a void, but it feel like I should at least try to help others learn.

How did this organization get the rights to the universal health pack symbol?

Complex issue but easily fixable in even combat video games and real life military which still use red cross on medic uniforms.

Remove Red Cross from uniforms use a black cross or the Rod of Asclepius. On medical supplies, crates, and so on in video games and real life use the red cross.

how this helps? Removing it from combatants ensures no issues of red cross people getting attacked by mistake. Putting it on supplies specifically ensures that people know that those supplies will help so that even a moron can attempt to help a wounds soldier. Crates of medical supplies that are air dropped will be known for what they are as well. Finally video game medical crates and healing stations can be made to look like they have been left behind, set up in advance , and so on.

@⚜︎Dmitry Light I agree with what you say, video games teach that if there is a Red Cross then there is a health, putting Red Cross in video games should be made as free advert for them, and these copyright and/or Interational conventions issues/nonsence about the Red Cross should be stopped by them, otherwise people would stop recognise Red Cross as a symbol of humanitarian aid in real life

Fuck the red cross

The mod is fine, but people are completely misinformed about the underlying issue. The Red Cross has specific restrictions that it follows to ensure that it isn't considered a 'combatant' and is never (ideally) targeted by either side. Having it in games with things like combat medics with SMGs and sidearms implies that the red cross also goes on armed combatants.

Given that part of their job involves going into warzones unarmed, and that a misunderstanding could easily result in the death of human beings, I don't mind sacrificing it in *video games.* Even if the chances of it leading to the death of another actual human being are slim, they are non-zero. That's still to high a chance for me to be upset about an icon in a video game having the wrong shape/color.

F**K the Red Cross TM

Great mod, thank you for restoring the Red Cross.

I think Doom went through a period where they used red and white pills on the medkits in order to avoid using the Red Cross, before settling for a green cross on the latest releases. I think that this increases the medkits' visibility as this color stands out on the palette used by that series. In that case, I believe it was a positive development.

Con razon veia raro las cruses en esta version del juego 🤔

They say that using the Red Cross in a game can lead to its meaning being desensitized or misinterpreted and potentially undermine its meaning of humanitarian protection.

And yes, mattattack, the Geneva Convention preserves the use of the Red Cross for the Red Cross. They went after Prison Architect for example.

Yes, mods do not affect achievements for stalker series. Can even use cheat mods.

A newbie question: If i use workshop mods like this, i still can get the achivments from the game? Thx. The grey crosses looks awful,

I always found what the Red Cross is fight for their copyright of the cross... Because it's global humanitarian organization, with help all around the world, and then videogames teach "Hey, look, see that cross? That is good!", in any place then disaster will broke, kids will know, if they see that symbol, that's mean there you can find help.

And fight for humanitarian symbol, it's just against the purpose of that organization itself, its really free advert what they come to help, not harm and all this stuff make RC and RCM looks more corrupted that it should be.

Ок

No, this is not against the Geneva convention, that's a stupid myth.

Thank you Good sir!

Fun fact, this mod is against the Geneva convention

“If the red cross emblem or similar signs are used for other purposes, no matter how beneficial or inconsequential they may seem, the special significance of the emblem will be diminished,” an email sent to the game’s developers reads. “The red cross emblem or similar designs are not general signs of ambulances, health care, first aid, the nursing or medical profession, or similar matters. Moreover, they are not signs to be used for commercial purposes, such as for advertising campaigns or on products.”
