R3mains' Custom Items

[echo flume]

like 2 hours maybe im not home

[reef hearth]

come home twin its crimas time

itr is calling

[echo flume]

no I need

rrp

before I do another run

context maker needs to update penetrator again

even if it’ll take like 60 hours of straight work

[reef hearth]

context died 😭

[echo flume]

said he was taking a break

[reef hearth]

oh

[echo flume]

I mean can’t blame him

[reef hearth]

good for him

[echo flume]

only reason I get this done is because

[reef hearth]

but i need my mods updated!

[echo flume]

I have no future and im a bum

[reef hearth]

well thats no way to think about onesself

[lilac jungle]

you can help me expedite things since progress will likely slow down for my mod after new years

also I'm 30 and finding time to work on my project, as long as you're not neglecting real life responsibilities you're not a bum

[echo flume]

i suppose

[lilac jungle]

if you are then you should work on that

[echo flume]

nah im not a bum

feels like it sometimes

[lilac jungle]

I have nephews your age, you seem intelligible and have a decent set of technical skills

[reef hearth]

hb unc

[lilac jungle]

funny enough I have a niece that's older than me, so unc since birth

[reef hearth]

lmao

[lilac jungle]

@echo flume we could start the custom commodities mod now if you want, i can start searching for suitable meshes or grab some stuff from tark

vanilla has camera, weather thing, secret documents, what else?

[deft spruce]

Voice recorder and the black container thing

[lilac jungle]

oh the black box

[deft spruce]

No I'm talking about this

Sample container

[lilac jungle]

fair enough

[bronze oracle]

How the KS23 feels

perfect

[lilac jungle]

im compiling a list of commodity items

maybe someday we do a ITR "streamer item" mod

[lilac jungle]

the list is assembled

[knotty sail]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/kel-tec-ksg-90f871c7ba3e483aa27d135c3114cf53

i am sure its wrong thing and you cant download it

[echo flume]

i think i remember trying to use that model

yeah no

plus i got a controller to play my emulated and modded botw thats been sitting on my pc for 6 months

[knotty sail]

thats cool

ill try to find one later
too much work rn

[echo flume]

hell happened on the 28th

[honest oar]

Bas inbr obbins

[deft spruce]

🔥

[vernal plume]

I have an idea. New maps! /j

[mint folio]

I had a random thought. Is it possible to make non-firearm items upgradeable in the box? If so, that could be a way to balance things like the exosuit.

[deft spruce]

is it a known issue where some weapons, like the mutant, mcx virtus, point like 20 degrees lower than they should when held with 2 hands?

[echo flume]

no

theres an immense amount of code somewhere that determines that

[echo flume]

just the pose

thought i changed them

[deft spruce]

i think they were worse before but theyre still off

[echo flume]

conglomerate

[deft spruce]

also im pretty sure this mod makes the m4 shoot sideways when an attachment gets put on it

[echo flume]

no

chuck fucked it

[echo flume]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QiTC9km363VwZnKEcACjcHajrv-v5ih63pN9Ey8Hnlw/edit?usp=sharing been a while since i touched this

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NOJgitM1J7X49PP8Xl89sRBA3gdi3QZt/view?usp=sharing @deft spruce try tis

[mint folio]

Pretty cool that you have accomplished most of the stuff on that list. Kudos for that.

[echo flume]

sure

havent touched it in a while either

kinda just did it by fate

[reef hearth]

i wanna see more boom

for new years we get new grenades

[echo flume]

thats a short deadline

especially with

new botw

shit

[echo flume]

[lilac jungle]

This is the relative distance for the mp18 projectile to hit anything

from where my camera is at to the board

definitely needs fixing because the gun is fun

also i noticed that the collision was removed on the front barrel, have you considered doing that for the shotguns so they're not as goofy?

[echo flume]

wym

[lilac jungle]

the front barrel for break actions wobble, this is behavior that exists in the base game

you could remove collision for the mesh to stop that could you not?

[echo flume]

no

its a physicsconstraint

it wobbles

[lilac jungle]

fair enough

[echo flume]

ill test izh18

later

idk what i couldve done

[lilac jungle]

dunno

[knotty sail]

i was saying that ages ago -_-

[bronze oracle]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sr-2m-veresk-tactical-tacticool-custom-13de87a73ac044709795373ab392b967 @echo flume would this be a usable model for u?

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sr-2m-veresk-2-gameready-lowpoly-63c7ea0e17fa48349219687eee185f5d

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/beretta-pmx-smg-1230602059d346e3ade958a6e83754d2

[echo flume]

if i was gonna do an sr2m

i would use the eft one

[bronze oracle]

ahh

okay

[bronze oracle]

https://knockout.chat/thread/43491 here is a asset archive for EFT guns.
maybe u find something interesting in there

[echo flume]

i have eft

[bronze oracle]

ah okay so u can just grab it from the files i guess?

[echo flume]

yes

[bronze oracle]

okay this does make things safe and easier to work with.
can't wait to see what u cook in the future. the KS23 made me do a Silencer less run atm, strange with more enemy spawns how fun it is to fight. instead of just snipin everything from afar

also quick question is it wanted that single barrikada shells are found in the world and not in boxes more common?

[echo flume]

uh

i made them about the same

drop rate

[bronze oracle]

ah okay cuz i found shrapnell more common in ammo boxes and barrikada less, but single shells are quite common found layin around

oh only barrikada is in single shells, i have yet to find shrapnel

[junior blaze]

I was able to shot the real far targets in the shootign range with the mp18, Idk what it's damage is but it at least went where I pointed it

was just real awkward to use due to the lack of ergo (physical gunstock problem)

[peak blade]

maybe its up to luck

if trans set accuracy = 100%

thats why i win most gunfights in itr1

https://tenor.com/view/possum-gif-27032080

[junior blaze]

it's basically a really fancy pipe gun, point the pipe at the thing you want to not be there anymore

[peak blade]

funny little go away device

[junior blaze]

it only works once!

[deft spruce]

nothing changed

[echo flume]

ok then idk

[deft spruce]

it happens because the grip point is on top of the gun right?

[echo flume]

uh

idk

[deft spruce]

probably because of that, can you push it down without making the handpose go down with it?

[echo flume]

i moved it up

because

that worked

works

[deft spruce]

is that what conglomerate does?

[echo flume]

conglomerate

[deft spruce]

👶 ?

[peak blade]

conglomerate

[knotty sail]

ARC RAIDERS IS SICK

[echo flume]

I DONE LOST ALL MY FUCKING SHIT

TO THIS FUCKASS SHRINE

[deft spruce]

So what you're saying is that the guns aren't pointing down for you?

[echo flume]

well setting the point shift upwards made it better

so idk how it would be worse

[latent remnant]

is the IZh-18 supposed to be so bad

i did find out that using it one handed makes it pretty accurate

[lilac jungle]

#1348737087783833610 message

its got about a 6 foot range

[latent remnant]

using it one handed makes it able to hit the far targets at the shooting range, at least

with a bit of drop

[deft spruce]

the guns where the secondary grip point is messed up also have their primary grip point messed up, with the vanilla akm as an example of where the grip points should be

[echo flume]

ok

prim doesnt really matter

secondary is moved because thats where the point shift is

[deft spruce]

So move it down?

[echo flume]

but i move it up

to make the pose not feel as shitty

[deft spruce]

But every gun where the thing is at the top feels bad to use😭

Just make every gun use the AK handpose because that's the one that feels good

[echo flume]

how about

you do it

i dont trust that

guns have different statures

plus the primaries and secondaries blend together

when i mash em they feel like shit

sr3m

mp7

shotugns

[deft spruce]

I was planning on

[echo flume]

already decently off on its own

im not editing the item shifts per controller and then readjusting for the dozen or so other ar15 esque weapons in my mod

changing the point shifts on the secondary poses made all the ar15s feel better for me so i dk why you seem to be having issues

[deft spruce]

What do you mean per controller?

[echo flume]

this shit

i take it you dont really fuck with poses that much

i do and have

and its shitty

never adding another gun i wont hit r3mains67

[deft spruce]

[deft spruce]

Just rotate the hand👶

[echo flume]

i tried that before

its on its own axis or some shit

[echo flume]

playing h3 and I loved this guns sounds should I use em

[honest oar]

Yes

[echo flume]

nvm cant find the gun

ill make something else though

[echo flume]

HOLY FUCK I FIGURED OUT THE GUNS SOUNDS

i had a revelation

the full auto loops stop when you let go of the trigger and transition to the loop

THIS WHOLE TIME

ive been making the gun sounds

by cutting them

like this

this is why the xm16sounds like ass

i shouldve been layering it like this

the whole time

smh smh smh

better gun sounds incoming

actually im gonna make standalone replacers with my favorite sounds from h3 mods

ill prob come around for any guns that sound real ass

[lilac jungle]

If I had known you were doing this I could have cleared that up, I discussed this with the guy who did the original weapon sound overhaul

[echo flume]

shouldve known that just didnt cross my mind until now

ive even recreated the functions that do this and i didnt see

cooking now though

ucccccc

11 knows

i have pulled an allnighter because i couldnt sleep

[lilac jungle]

if only we could get proper acoustics and attenuation based on environment

not many games implement it properly

[echo flume]

arc raiders🥵

itr1 kinda has attenuations?

in some places

[lilac jungle]

True. Probably one of the best examples. And I does have attenuation but it's more akin to occlusion

it does**

[echo flume]

would be way too indepth to make something like that

[lilac jungle]

The games audio systems definitely don't support it

[echo flume]

the footstep cue has some strange shit that doesnt make sense to me

something like it

the ue5 MSS's let you do that stuff pretty well

let me make a thumbnail

m4 sound remaster

but uc version

how about

bunch of ar15s from my mod rendered in front of a uh

what should the background image be

i kept my .blend from my custom item thumbnail

[lilac jungle]

idk put the guns in front of the waveform or something

[echo flume]

fucc i didnt

hold on

[echo flume]

marvelous

@sterile dragon consensus im finally doing this stupid uc m4 sound pack because i wanted its and i figured out how to make my custom auto loops souns not shit

[sterile dragon]

horrau!!!Y!!!

[echo flume]

that might convince me to actually do it

[echo flume]

anybody tried to get all the guns in scav?

remember people used to say they were trying to do that but i think this is too far gone for that to be plausible unless you got real good luck

[echo flume]

@deft spruce youre right i was gaslighting myself into thinking making it higher made it better

[deft spruce]

so you are gonna fix the handposes🙏 ?

or do i still do it?

[echo flume]

https://tenor.com/view/phatearl-gif-2280842092719572077

@deft spruce happy now

[deft spruce]

🤑

thank you🙏

[deft spruce]

On second thought

Are you sure the primary grip point location doesn't matter?

[echo flume]

pretty sure

[peak blade]

https://tenor.com/view/agnes-agnes-tachyon-horse-game-uma-musume-tachyon-gif-13895271866239018692

[deft spruce]

Add a sledgehammer🗣️

[echo flume]

what gun sounds should i replace

wanna do a small update w just gun sounds

[lilac jungle]

ppsh

but also you could help me hunt down some audio that i want to replace that aren't specifically gun firing

[echo flume]

ok

[echo flume]

@stoic vector if i created a localization file for all my descriptions would it make it easer to do your translations?

[echo flume]

does anything small need to be changed

like

prices

[lilac jungle]

probably

[lilac jungle]

have you considered optimizing your textures

its pretty much standard to make all normals and orms 1/2 the res of your diffuse/albedo if thats not already done in your mod

• use maximum compression in gimp

[echo flume]

could do that

everything is 4k lol

[lilac jungle]

you could downscale diffuse to half that and then norms and orms to a quarter and save a fuck load of space in your cooks/packages/uploads

[echo flume]

rather keep diffs the same

i had to downscale some stuff a while ago because some were 5k and had no mips

looked noticably worse

[lilac jungle]

fair enough ig

also i have no idea why (this is related to my food mod) but my mesh for the meat chunk defaults back to the vanilla one even though i can see my mesh working in fmodel

[echo flume]

ill consider halfing my normals and aorms though

[echo flume]

it doesnt work at all?

[lilac jungle]

everything but the meat chunk seemingly works

[echo flume]

makes sure the name is right ig

[lilac jungle]

it just randomly happened, not sure why

[echo flume]

are you packaging it differently?

[lilac jungle]

havent touched it since i uploaded the first version

maybe i did though, dunno

lemme pop it open

i'll be diverting this conversation to my thread

[lilac jungle]

do you have a spreadsheet of prices and stuff available

and also is penetrator the only mod that attempts to standardize chucks and yours gun damages? (i dont play with stalker so idk if that matters in this context)

[echo flume]

because the dude originally made the standardization mod

and he ported the same stats for penetrator

[lilac jungle]

thats not what i was asking but yeah

i was asking if thats the only person to attempt balancing

[echo flume]

ye

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EPe63ioGk3s5Bz38aDJEix5MfTH7B0mfC1exJbWF6XE/edit?gid=67363942#gid=67363942

[lilac jungle]

fair enough

maybe after im done with my mod i'll do a balance pass for your stuff

[icy night]

r3mains please i beg you lower the volume on some of the guns

was using mp7 ak12 and usp and had to fight the entire kolkhoz as soon as i tried shooting the marksman at the bridge near the shortcut to vanno

all 4 sliders descended onto me

the POIs were empty

if the AK12 gets the entire map aggrod on me i dont want to know what happens if i shoot the vpo101

[echo flume]

vanilla?

[icy night]

i play scav

[echo flume]

okay i think i may have just overlooked it

stalker volumes are way higher

and when i make my tables ill just paste it from the other ones

and change only what i need to

so ig i just forgot to change the ak12 loudness

yeah i did

let me make sure the others are ok

ill update in a little

any one of my guns need their sounds changed?

vpo was fucked holy hell

almost twice the loudness of the loudest gun

thats stalker loudness

idk if scav and vanilla are different but i can check

i dont bother with making scav and vanilla different

[deft spruce]

You oughta add the m67 grenade as symbolism for the 67th weapon being added👶 🙏

[echo flume]

maybe later ill do grenades

[reef hearth]

grenades would be great

we got all kinda new weapons

other than em

[echo flume]

hm do i make the grenades shit to match vanilla ones

or

eftify the ones already in and buff them

i use the grenades rebalanced mod by my friend its like

necessary

[reef hearth]

eftify

vanilla grenades r horrible

[echo flume]

id hate to fuck with vanila balancy stuff but like

anyone in their right mind is using a grenade mod

also vogs suck i was playing penetrator a while ago

5 almost direct vogs

aint kill shit

i had a vog buff in the mod before i figured out how to make the rpg shoot its own hyperexplosive projectile

i need to work on this instead of doing anything else hold on

66 guns makes this shit hard

trying to do my damn

course selection for next year

taking 4 aps next year so this mod is never getting updated once next school year starts

[reef hearth]

why 4 aps holy shat 😭

[echo flume]

im gonna be an academic weapon

im only taking whap rn

and im sleeping through a third of the school day

ima take

ap physic

apush

ap compsci principle

maybe ap calc

if i can do precal over the summer

ima lock in

so i can get into a canadian uni

and get away from america

as a transwoman

im theorizing

say this and ima fail all of those aps

ak12 was as loud as

idk

also really loud

[lilac jungle]

@echo flume have you considered pushing your updates as update files instead of repackaging and reuploading the entire mod every update

just addend the updated package with _Update_Insert#Here_P

that way people are only downloading the 2gb main file once and then only downloading sub-100mb update packages each time

[echo flume]

no

i dont want people to deal with multiple files

[lilac jungle]

you only need 1 update file, just merge each update into the previous one.

You already have 2 optional files anyways

Just a suggestion, not everyone has nexus premium (I refuse to pay for it after they changed their monetization) and it took me like 20 minutes just to download the previous update

[echo flume]

thats why i have the google drive mirror

[lilac jungle]

And where is it?

[lilac jungle]

90% of people probably miss that

I appreciate having a mirror link, regardless

1 minute vs 20 minute download

[lilac jungle]

is your latest update to gun volumes balanced around STALKER mod or vanilla volumes?

I don't use the mod, but I'm curious if I should be

[echo flume]

i just looked at each gun in vanilla and compared

stalker was fine enough i only did little changes

dont think scav touches vanilla weapon stats

[latent remnant]

i didnt even know Nexus had a feature like that

[stoic vector]

Yes, with the current method, updates take about 30 minutes, but with localization files, I think it would take only a few minutes.If it can be achieved without requiring a great deal of effort on your part, I would definitely like to have it.

[echo flume]

hmmmm

id have to see

if i have to do it all manually id prefer not to

also means you wouldnt have to touch my iteminfos

may or may not have woken up at 6

[echo flume]

just for the descriptions?

not the actual item names

[echo flume]

nvm i see

ill make 2 sep files

this gon take foreverr

[echo flume]

ill remove all the chuck overwrites in my iteminfos

and ill put my new descriptions for remade items in my localization

and ill give all the items helps localization aswell

[stoic vector]

Thank you.
I am currently translating item names, descriptions, item help, and upgrade information into Japanese. I manage these via CSV files, and for existing items, a single copy-and-paste per file suffices. When updating, I only translate and add new items. However, localization file would be appreciated as it would reduce complexity and save time.

[echo flume]

ah forgot about upgrades

[stoic vector]

Additionally, it's a major advantage that you don't have to extract and edit the source mod's files to use it (I wanted to do that as much as possible myself). Even if updates here are delayed when new items are added, players can keep using it as-is, with only untranslated parts remaining.

Honestly, it's rare to find Japanese players who are dedicated enough to play ITR1 using mods. I'm not sure if players from other language regions will translate this mod, but I'd like you to decide in a way that doesn't burden you.

[echo flume]

ive been doing this for like 3 hours now im too far gone to give up

[stoic vector]

Oh..., thank you so much for putting in all that time. I really appreciate your hard work.

[echo flume]

HAHA IT WORKED

my glorious copypastes

all of the huge entries and arrays youd have to manually press 1000 times can be easily done by just copypasting things

since all of the struct data is just text

ok iteminfos are done ill do upgrades

[stoic vector]

Sorry, I forgot to mention one more thing...
Also the tabs for each category on the shop terminal. It's the DT_ShopTable_User5.uasset part.
Example: “338 Lapua - Weapons II”, “23x75mmR - Ammo”

[echo flume]

did you do the slots aswell?

mounts

[stoic vector]

Yes, it only appears in a very limited number of scenes, but I did it.

[echo flume]

ok im making separate string tables for each type of table

[echo flume]

@stoic vector do localization tables autotranslate?

are there other languages in the same that things will translate to?

or do you have to manually make the patches for them

i forgot if there is a language setting

[stoic vector]

Localization tables exist separately for each language, and the one corresponding to the language selected in the game settings is automatically chosen.

For English:
IntoTheRadius\Content\Localization\Game\en\Game.locres
For Japanese:
IntoTheRadius\Content\Localization\Game\ja\Game.locres

However, the translated text within the localization table appears to reference the following file, making it complex:

IntoTheRadius\Content\ITR\Configurations\Localization\EnglishSource.uasset

[echo flume]

dont think i can do that

guess ill see if it does it automatically

[stoic vector]

OK

[echo flume]

yeah adding new translations to custom data would be way too intrusive

and even then i cant be sure itll actually change with the settings

@stoic vector how do you want me to get you my tables

want to send the uassets?

or will you just download the update and do it

[stoic vector]

I'm not at home right now and don't have access to a PC or HMD, so I won't be able to test it for a few days...
Please send me the uassets. Once I confirm everything works, I'd like you to add it to the update again.

[echo flume]

@stoic vector

[stoic vector]

Thank you. I'll test it as soon as I get home.

[icy night]

MSR 5 round mags drain no durability for some reason

i did 2 POIs in kolkhoz and left with mags on full durability

[echo flume]

bolt actions dont remove mag durability

idk why

i tried to code it in but it aint work

[icy night]

oh

[reef hearth]

does this mod mess with the old revolver in stalker

its not much of an issue but itd be nice if we could get a pm or some weapon equal to it instead

oh and pervomay izh18 isnt showing up for some reason

i checked my mods for possible conflicts but i cant find any

beautiful work on the audio rework though

the guns sound so snappy and crisp

[lilac jungle]

the revolver starting weapon is prob the dumbest change i've ever seen in a mod

[reef hearth]

wrd

[echo flume]

just the izh?

[reef hearth]

idk im gonna check other stashes to make sure

[echo flume]

turns out the izh18 was broken because I swapped the boolean

lol

[lilac jungle]

Downloaded the dynamically climbable environment mod so I could check out some stashes and see new angles for my mod - is this just... here now? 🤣

I know that SNB made that but wow

[thorny isle]

you can technically get up there without climbing mods its just a bit of a pain

also i fw your texture overhaul heavy it looks really good

[lilac jungle]

Oh that's cool, just seems odd placement for this cable.. Do people just accept that this is there with the mod downloaded?

[thorny isle]

i guess

im pretty sure theres a cable there normally its just not lowered down

its attached to a crane isnt it

[lilac jungle]

yeah its much higher in the ceiling

[clever needle]

@echo flume I am adding some extra logic to my NVG mod to disable all other head light sources like the headlamp and custom NVGs while it’s installed. I am trying to do that without deleting them or modifying location so it wouldn’t affect people’s save games in any way. So far I have just been able to call the “Set Actor Hidden In Game” node on them and that seems to work fine for the most part, but for some reason, they can still be picked up and moved. Since you have worked with ITR’s item system for a while, I figured I would ask you first. Do you know how I might prevent these from being picked up, perhaps by deleting a specific component or something to do with collision?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khS-mvlvK5o

[stoic vector]

@echo flume Great news! The localization data table you created works perfectly. Now we can translate more easily without touching the original data table file. Thank you!

[echo flume]

better work lol i spent like 6 hours straight on that

you want me to push an update?

dont think i changed anything else

[echo flume]

90% sure its this

holy shit i never knew zelda64recompiled existed

now i wont have to play mm through

cemu wiiu virtualconsole

im gonna try to make the magnifiers take less priortity over weapon bolts

only issue is idk how to do that

@clever needle would you know if i can make a collider take priority over another? or have it so 1 will disable its own collision when the player hand is overlapping both?

[clever needle]

I suppose you could set Booleans off of begin and end overlap events for the colliders. If they are in separate blueprints, it might be a bit more complicated, but might still be possible.
If I am understanding correctly (which I am probably not), the logic would look something like this:

Collider 1 when overlapped would set the bool to true
Collider 1 when overlap end would set the bool to false.
Collider 2 when overlap, check if Boolean is false before proceeding with the event line.

In terms of actual collision settings, I am honestly no expert and am probably misunderstanding the question especially since I use vanilla project files over the SDK.

[clever needle]

that worked. Thanks!

[stoic vector]

Good job!
Please update the mod whenever you have a moment. I can update it tonight (JST).

[echo flume]

doing now

[stoic vector]

I found one mistake...
In the three files DT_ItemInfos_User5_~~~.uasset, only the TRG M10 Magazine has the SourceString and LocalizedString for the “ItemName” and ‘ItemDescription’ fields set to “null”. This causes an error message to appear in-game. Everything else is fine.

[echo flume]

hm ill fix it later

[clever needle]

It took way longer than I'd like to admit to figure out how to remove the headlamp and NVGs from the shop. H NVGs now has seamless compatibility with custom items since there is no possibility for multi-NVG overlap and bricking the shop with immovable items.

[echo flume]

hmmm what to do next

mmmm bogbogbog @peak blade

i was thinking galils but do we really need more 556 guns

what else does insurgnecy have

if they look decent

i want to remake the grenades but issue is that i dont wanna replace the bp and make it not work with other grenade buffs

[lilac jungle]

Israeli weapons are cringe

[echo flume]

yeah i hate that

but i like the galil

specifcally

might

someone asked for more ar15s

do we really need more ar15s

[lilac jungle]

Probably don't need any new firearms at all by this point, there's a lot, but it's your mod so add whatever you feel like

[echo flume]

i suppose

more are fun when i feel like it

[echo flume]

i have an idea

if this wtt armory model isnt cursed

[echo flume]

okay im never touching a wtt armory model again

but this 1 from it is just a boofed vanilla eft gun

so ill use it

[mint folio]

For completeness' sake, and parity with your 5.56 mag additions, have you considered 20 round magazines for both flavors of AK?

Also, damn, what kind of horrorshow did you find with the wtt models?

[echo flume]

they are

so bad

good gun ideas but they are just not good models

[echo flume]

maybe

idk

[lilac jungle]

if you're feeling philanthropic i can set aside the models and textures for the custom item stuff

[echo flume]

pmag or

this shit

oop you saw the gun

[mint folio]

I think both are cool, so you follow your heart

[echo flume]

@reef hearth

what color to make the irons

yellow?

actually wait do i even need to model this

this model isnt actually different its just the 74u

nvm thisll be easy

if you dont mind the bullets or mag clipping a tiny bit

[sterile dragon]

genuinely they are horrid

people keep telling me to use the tavor from it

[reef hearth]

yerrow

[reef hearth]

perfect

[reef hearth]

this look better

[bleak kernel]

omg, its ksyha remake?

[bleak kernel]

l85 and hi power

[echo flume]

l85 smart

[echo flume]

akmsu

I said I wasn’t gonna do it before bc eft ain’t have it

there was a one I had in my spt mods so I got excited

but turns out the model is the exact same

so it’s just gonna be the ak74u model but with 7.62

but it means that I don’t have to texture it

[bleak kernel]

and here i was thinking that we finally could get ksyha with rendered chambered round

but "mythical" akmsu? lol

make it as radius only

[echo flume]

tf is a kysha

[echo flume]

maybe

[valid lichen]

r3mains

make akmsu radius only

1⃣ yes
2⃣ no

[bleak kernel]

russian nickname for aksu

[knotty sail]

Ash-12
Vssk
Rsh-12

Maybe one of this guns?

[echo flume]

not doing 12.7

where’s a vssk model that isn’t stalker

[bleak kernel]

metro

[echo flume]

ehhhh

what does this mean

[echo flume]

i can maybe theorize a function in the ks23 that could do that

but wtf do you mean the 553 does that

gonna have to make a patch for my ak sound replacer

[lilac jungle]

wtf is the necessary order of those paks anyways

primary file -> chucks custom items compatibility -> then his akm mod?

[mint folio]

Is he maybe talking about the bug where unloaded weapons sometimes say they have the last ammo type you handled in the chamber?

[lilac jungle]

I would assume so based on wording

[lilac jungle]

f2000

just popped in my head

[echo flume]

should be fine how i named em

does insurgency have one?

think it does

[lilac jungle]

i'd honestly be surprised if so, it's an incredibly rare firearm

but it's one of stalkers iconic weapons

[echo flume]

fine how theyre named

issue is that the ak never had its own sounds so i had to pull some wizardry fuckery and edit the bps of all the 762 aks

[echo flume]

about that lol

[lilac jungle]

I don't use nexus mod manager and I manually re-order all my mods

[echo flume]

stalker models wouldve been great but the dont use like

the engine has some weird shit

[lilac jungle]

oh yeah i'm not saying use the stalker model, the original trilogy models would look terrible

[echo flume]

no even like a gamma model

the engine doesnt use the right texture maps

actually it just doesnt have them

[lilac jungle]

interesting

[echo flume]

they dont use pbr

[lilac jungle]

specular workflow?

[echo flume]

wanted to use some models and i went through all that just to end up with shit i cant use

they just have diffs and heightmaps? or displacement maps

one of those sorta maps

[lilac jungle]

you can convert them into normals and then there is software to edit diffuse into albedo

but yeah would probably take some elbow grease

[echo flume]

issue isnt the diff its just there arent any metals or roughs

idk how to texture anything

[lilac jungle]

oh those are super easy to make

[echo flume]

plus working with ogfs are weird

[lilac jungle]

my personal method is just using blender, seperate the surfaces by selection and then bake out the maps

blender also has addons for all xray formats

[echo flume]

yeah i tried that i dont remember it working

somehting was fighting me

[lilac jungle]

there are multiple addons

I suppose if you ever need me to do texture work in that regard, let me know

[echo flume]

was a bit ago but i remember it not being compliant when it came to the models itself

idrc enough

[lilac jungle]

I can generate and convert basically any kind of texture to whatever it needs to be

Know that Help has substance painter tho which is far superior to quixel

[echo flume]

lowkey though

[echo flume]

anyone know what this dude is on

i dont if this is an issue

or if this guy is schizo

[lilac jungle]

what zander said

[echo flume]

hmmm

i imagined dude meant it literally changed the ammo

if its just the description then that just itr

[lilac jungle]

does your mod page have a FAQ for bugs and shit

just so people know what to be aware of when it comes to mod quirks

[echo flume]

at the bottom

only 2 that i really know of

[sterile dragon]

the insurgency F2000 is quite good

[vernal plume]

OH THE F2000 WOULD BE DOPE

[bronze oracle]

@echo flume latest update removed stash guns and caused this description error

[echo flume]

ok i know about the second one

wym removed stashed guns

touched the wheel for the first time today

[bronze oracle]

i updated ur mod and suddenly all stash guns are gone that i havent touched

i was in castle to grab the RSASS, AK12 and the other gun in the tower.
all where gone, i thought u might have moved them to more fitting places.
but as i wanted to grab the ak mutant in factory and the G36 all where gone.

[echo flume]

didn’t touch a single stash the update

only thing I did was make string tables and edit the iteminfos

[bronze oracle]

it could have been that the stash guns want to take old code that they cant get and for some reason that might cause them to not spawn.
i dunno, i did the update mid playthrough and this happened.
usually i do a new run if anything gets added, but last update was just the izh that gut changed and ur descriptions.
but yea... litteraly all gun stashes are gone.
i tried updating ur stash mod but no change there

[echo flume]

no idea

[echo flume]

need someone else to confirm

otherwise chuck is gonna need some hitting up

I would hate to have to remake all the stashes

actually

no

they haven’t been updated since like 1.14

but it would be SO much work to add more nonetheless remake them completely

but I really should

if I do some help would appreciated

or ideas for what to put where

also im thinking about putting the special p226 in regular loot and removing it from stashes

maybe also making it not “radiusy”

I went back to the tx15 to give it some anomalousy looking stuff that didn’t come out that well but I don’t feel like doing that for the special p226

kinda put off from working on this rn can’t lie

also can’t find that insurgency f2000

actually wanted to do that

I pirated all the zeldas and gows and bought a few games so ive got so much to play ive just been doing that instead this past while

get someone else to confirm the stashes aren’t working if they’re really broken then I can deep dive into it

I have late night ideas

I always thought about making some trailery video for my custom items

probably a dumb idea though

[stoic vector]

After checking several stash locations(Including the “mutant” atop the tower). I confirmed they were all present. I suspect the cause is likely due to factors other than the R3mais custom item update.

[bronze oracle]

i could help out with creative spots, i know some areas people usually wont go or just walk past.
if need be i could make a location based rundown for u for whatever gun u wish to make a stash from.

[bronze oracle]

i have to make a new save to confirm if it might be an issue with updating the mod on a pre version old save file.

[echo flume]

I mean

if I could just get all the ones you think would fit

usually when I made stashes id just grab some guns and run around in a zone until I feel like I did enough

[bronze oracle]

if u give me a list with guns and their tier. i would grab em and place em in multiple locations, show a screenshot and point out the location and how to get there.
how does this sound?

also if u tier guns, tell me what locations fit best for them.
like i wouldnt want to place a AK105 in the first area, but a shotgun or the crappy full auto smg in the first zone, well hidden sound lovely.
maybe give them a slight lore touch when placing them.

[stoic vector]

I created a new save file and searched the three stashes located on Pervomay Route in the first area. As a result,
the “IZh-18 7.62x39 + Polymer Body,” “MP-443 Grach + Mag,” and “PL-15” were all present. In my environment, the custom item stashes function correctly in both the old save file and the newly created one.

[echo flume]

I think they’re iffy sometimes

when I was testing a fix I was looking at the console and it didn’t seem to spawn them in right?

but I’m glad it’s not something I did

[bronze oracle]

like i said, it might be a old save issue.
since pre updating i grabbed the zone boosted p226 from underneath the bridge in kolkhoz, but updated pre entering castle.
since the update all stash guns vanished.
so when i get some time to hop in vr am makin a new save and see if it really is just an old save issue.

[valid lichen]

r3mains

make special p226 in regular loot and remove its stashes

1⃣ yea
2⃣ no

[echo flume]

hghhgngghn

i have

to do

loot

i dnt wanna

do loot

IN AHTE LOOT

special p226 is the dumbest thing i ever did next to the auto5

maybe ill just rebrand it to the p226 elite

i named it from that one location from 1.0

[echo flume]

okay i need this soon

how are ammo drop in stalker

is one caliber too plentiful

im already doing scav

but idk how stalker is

okay i think the exo was broken in scav the whole time and never spawned

@bronze oracle would you know

what are the stalker loot drops like

fixing up the sigtango reticle

[echo flume]

should i make the eomag reticle smaller when magnified

like i did for the other magnifier scopes

[mint folio]

I would vote yes

[reef hearth]

i got hella good ideas

[reef hearth]

why would it be removed

[echo flume]

ok everything as of now is done

beyond maybe more stashes what else to do

I can’t find an f2k model

[lilac jungle]

dang

[echo flume]

well insurgency does have one

but idk where to find it

[reef hearth]

famas

if u can find a good model

[lilac jungle]

disgusting french bullpup

[reef hearth]

its beautful dawg'

u js have to see its beauty

[lilac jungle]

only acceptable bullpups are pdw

🚫

(they can add whatever they want to their mod)

[reef hearth]

the aug is great too

i love my aug para but bullpup ars r good

[echo flume]

insurgency

ok i think i found the only f2k model thatll work

do i bother w making the scope and railed reciever upgrades or only the scope

[stoic vector]

I want the “Origin-12,” a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun. It might not be very well-known, but personally, I think it's the best design.

[echo flume]

this is the most confusing model ive ever touched

the image has this foregrip trirail thatll work nice

but none of these fbx has it

i can do the monolith one?

but the pose wont work at all

hold on im theorizing

[echo flume]

ok we got these 2 grips

but if i use the one with the rail the pose is gonna be really bad

[lilac jungle]

no rail

use the boat grip

thats the classic f2000 look

[echo flume]

id imagine some might want upgrades

but ill prob just do that

came with a grip rail that didnt have a texture for it

[lilac jungle]

f2000 is not a practical gun, should be reflected somehow

incredible vibes but terrible ergonomics and function

[echo flume]

i suppose

makes this alot easier

i cant figure out where this charging handle and the ejection door goes

[bronze oracle]

they are fine imo, early game some ammo drops are a struggle, but fine.
they arent Scav levels of good.
but Stalker was always meant to be hard.

[lilac jungle]

Do crates have a chance to be empty in scav or stalker?

[bronze oracle]

no all crates white and orange always come with loot, there was once a bug where loot could spawn outside the crate but thats long been fixed

[lilac jungle]

Ah damn

I feel as though with the sheer amount of crates + the stashes, it's super easy to gather resources. But I only play vanilla with increased difficulty modifiers

The economy is difficult to manage in scav and stalker I'm guessing because of how large loot pools are

[bronze oracle]

i counter the loot amount with increased enemy county, healtha and damage. its quite fun

[bronze oracle]

if u play no shop then yes, main one caliber is difficult. so switching and making shots count is the main game.
but with shop enabled u can just go ham

[lilac jungle]

No shop seems interesting but not really fun because of the potential time sink and soft locks. that's kinda why I asked about empty crates because the idea kinda circumvents that while still creating rng chances. Not sure if empty crates could be modded in or what tho.

[bronze oracle]

no shop scav is quite hard at the start, but as soon as u get better guns and armor, its gettin way easier.
and late game is just grindin ammo and money for upgrades/repairs.

[echo flume]

ooop

[lilac jungle]

fair enough

[echo flume]

already cut em down

by like

a third

I saw my friend playing once and he wa getting crazy 5.7

so I assumed it was really bad

[lilac jungle]

time to code rng % chance of empty crates

[echo flume]

I kinda just went on there and spammed delete a few times

[lilac jungle]

it's tarkov looting time

[echo flume]

funny

anyone who uses like any gun replacer gets a few of those I bet

[bronze oracle]

well if we compare stalker and scav, stalker has like a few less bullets than scav.
its alright but nothing extreme like a full box of 556 and a full box of 545 in one crate

[echo flume]

idk I guess we’ll see

I went deep to get scav right

stalker I just cut them down overall

hopefully the exo is fixed in scav

hopefully it fits in the crate at all

still don’t know

[bronze oracle]

the loot tables atm are good, but i wish i could find more 45 acp, cuz usually this cal isnt as common ans hoped

[lilac jungle]

pocket suit

[echo flume]

yeah chuck never put his stuff in like

any loot

[lilac jungle]

why not make exo shop only and then place a dedicated stash as optional file for people with no shop enabled

[echo flume]

and the few tables they’re in aren’t very respective of their vanilla ones

[bronze oracle]

did it never drop?
cuz i remember playing a long time and it never dropped.
but now i find artefact armor everywhere in factory, kolkhoz and castle.

[echo flume]

eh I don’t really want an overhaul only optional file

plenty of people can’t figure out how to install the 3 reqs

[lilac jungle]

your stash add-on

[echo flume]

throw it in a stash maybe

[lilac jungle]

also the issue with the mod files is people don't know load order and it's not expressed as important

in general that is not just your mod

[echo flume]

LO shouldn’t be an issue nod maker should have the names right

if anyone is smart enough to deal with LO then they can change the names themselves

[lilac jungle]

except when every other mod maker makes their Pak name zzzzzz_insertmodname

[echo flume]

I suppose

[lilac jungle]

vortex users

but also LO does matter

I've had my guns broken because of it

[echo flume]

I do that sometimes

[echo flume]

I mean LO shouldn’t matter if the mod maker is knowledgeable

[lilac jungle]

even just having modded deps before chucks custom deps fucks them up

[echo flume]

id that not how you’re supposed to have it

[lilac jungle]

p sure i had to set mine up as chucks custom deps - modded deps - chucks custom items

then everything else

[echo flume]

that doesn’t make sense

vortex?

[lilac jungle]

no lol

I pre addend all my packages I download

[echo flume]

they overwrite in commondeps>chucksitems>chucksdependencies

I tried to change a pose dynamically it ain’t work

can’t get a way to hook onto a secondary pose

[bleak kernel]

its still there on stalker

[echo flume]

only issue w this f2k is that the internals are just

white

ill see what i can do

[echo flume]

this model aint that good but its the only model youre getting

where do the rounds eject when not shooting it?

like manually ejecting it

out the bottom like a p90?

think i can code that in

[echo flume]

kinda want to make the f2k radius only

[valid lichen]

r3mains

make the f2k radius only

1⃣ yes
2⃣ no

[echo flume]

how good are cod models i got this texture converter working

turns out the dlls were blocked

[echo flume]

not bad only thing ill get wrong is the charging handle

and i removed 1 internal piece

because i couldnt be bothered positioning it right

[echo flume]

@gleaming stream

[peak blade]

oughh

[echo flume]

using mw2019 tar21 sounds

[peak blade]

its beautiful

[echo flume]

love this thing

model was a bitch

im gonna make this spectacular

for the stalker fans

except only 1 rail b no laser for you

unless you guys want to me slap a railb upgrade on it

on the foregrip or something

only fear is the poses it may not feel that good

[lilac jungle]

can you not set up the poses similar to p90

[echo flume]

yeah

i can

only thing is the secondary one actually has influence

unless it shouldnt

ill mess with it

wait i can fit a laser on this hold on

nvm it blocks the scope

[lilac jungle]

not sure what is the culprit but i download STALKER mod and now 45acp ammo crashes the game 😢

prob load order

hm

[echo flume]

yea you did something

[lilac jungle]

only downloaded stalkers and switched common mod deps

im not too pressed, just wanted to remove security levels to look at ammo

[echo flume]

well did you get it working

i cant think of a reason it would crash

[lilac jungle]

im moving around the load order now

.45 ammo boxes were invisible and when i spawned a mag and ejected a round it would crash

shrug

not getting this issue without stalker

[echo flume]

wtf could you have done

id need to see the paks

[lilac jungle]

i have not touched the paks my guy

i only downloaded stalker, the optional files, and the deps for stalker (instead of vanilla)

using the latest version of your mod

[echo flume]

ok well the only reason it would be crashing is if theres something else going on

thats why i asked for the paks

[lilac jungle]

where is the mesh and material for .45acp stored

im guessing its in chucks custom items

[echo flume]

yes

dont think it needs to be a req you can just load it and if they dont have chucks it wont do anything

[lilac jungle]

i cant even find where 45 meshes and material is

unless fmodel is trolling me

fmodel is trolling me

is there any specific reason why fmodel selectively hides assets

uassetgui is doing the same thing

[echo flume]

dont remember having this happen to me

maybe update it

[lilac jungle]

it is

[echo flume]

/Content/Mods/ChuckSharts/45ACP/

[lilac jungle]

im aware where it is, i can see it in Umodel

Fmodel and Uassetgui don't show it though

[echo flume]

strange

[lilac jungle]

its literally not there

[echo flume]

youre opening the wrong one

its in the dependency pak

dependency pak is the 3.0 update

[lilac jungle]

I see

[lilac jungle]

yeah thanks for clarifying this ig

i didnt know that there were specific things added in 3.0 to that extent

[echo flume]

i have done something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcCl8cigtqA

think ill do a famas next

if the insurgency model isnt bad

[lilac jungle]

really need some Reclamation Project in your vids

looks great tho

[vernal plume]

Imagine some nice background music to this, matched with the editing, it would be fire. Video is already peak.

Properly synced up, imagine.

Couldn’t get both video and song to play at the same time

Sound wise

[bleak kernel]

Same side tube, as far as i know 🤓

And its also dont have bho, btw

[reef hearth]

yahooo!

[thorny isle]

thats like

its whole gimmick

they go out the front

https://youtu.be/j4evK5Ayrno?si=MuiifFli-9KSUmR3

technically they arent supposed to eject till after a few rounds but i dont know if thatll be possible to implement

i missed the "not"

im really smart

iirc theres nothing inside that tube retaining them or anything so you can just tip it forward and pour them out

[gleaming stream]

Famas my beloved

I havent forgotten about the fn f2000 icon

[bleak kernel]

getting french bullpup before britsh is...ironic

[echo flume]

just woke up

[echo flume]

ill do l85

if insurgency has it

pretty sure it does

[echo flume]

thank

[echo flume]

no

or maybe

cant be bothered

[echo flume]

this is what he does when I decide to be productive

i dont like insurgency models that much because they like to be way too metallic

better than most other models i could get so

there arent any charginghandle handposes that would fit the famas right

[reef hearth]

hes so cute

[reef hearth]

unfortunately not

maybe mp5

ig vro

anyway the g36 charing handle pose could work

[echo flume]

@gleaming stream more

[echo flume]

couldnt get the mag scale exact but it seems about right

[reef hearth]

is it f1 or g2

[thorny isle]

f1

g2 has the enclosed pistol grip thingy

[echo flume]

does the bolt lock on empty

i cant find any info on this

and i cant remember

ik this shoots faster but im just using the f2k fire sounds

cant be bothered

[thorny isle]

on the famas?

[echo flume]

nvm i just

duped it and made it faster

[thorny isle]

as far as i can tell it doesnt have bho

could probably watch range footage for it

[mint folio]

No BHO for Ian https://youtu.be/NeWo3XMTLDc?si=UXXH13ZXumLQ64lF

[echo flume]

@gleaming stream i moved the rail up here instead

good luck finding the tflag on this

[valid lichen]

r3mains

remove the xm16e1 stashes and put it in loot

1⃣ yes
2⃣ no

[echo flume]

after playing with it i realized having the special guns as stash only was not a good idea

idk

[reef hearth]

why all the stash only stuff gettin removed

i feel like it was a good idea

[echo flume]

xm16 wasnt as bad with em

[reef hearth]

what was wrong with p226 stash

[echo flume]

gave it a thought for a min

theyre supposed to be more special but then you just runup and grab it early

xm16 stashes arent as bad though

[reef hearth]

i mean

ig thats true

but isnt that the same for all stashes?

ukw

maybe if there are stash only items

theyre less powerful

so you dont gain too much power right off the bat

like the svt

[echo flume]

idk i imagine them more as collector things

these special guns are in the main file

the stashes

thats the only way to get them

but i think they should be more lucrative

[reef hearth]

yea

meaning?

[echo flume]

less likely to get them

more rewarding

the maps make it hard to make stashes like that

[reef hearth]

yea

[echo flume]

xm16 kinda works because the stashes are in a good spot

[reef hearth]

castle is really the only good spot for that

[echo flume]

every time id play id run and grab the special 226 off rip

[reef hearth]

i only know one p226 special location so i rlly cant

ur right tho

either less stashes or js more challenge

or maybe instead of challenging

like combat

make them more hidden

[echo flume]

ill keep the files

[reef hearth]

thats a good idea

[lilac jungle]

do your stashes respawn on tide

[echo flume]

no

it adds them into the map array like the vanilla stashes

i think

chuck did a lot

this is only like

a fifth of the code for it

[lilac jungle]

wonder if it's possible to delay the spawn of them so they don't just immediately show up

[knotty sail]

tuna

[echo flume]

wym

like lock it to missions?

[lilac jungle]

yeah security level or just rng based on tide i guess

[echo flume]

idk i think that stuff is out of scope

ive taken glances at the mission stuff but i dont really have an idea of how it works

famas is nice

[knotty sail]

what about the ones that are in tarkov?

[lilac jungle]

dang

solid idea though, it would make exploration rewarding as you progressed through the game

[echo flume]

the revolver i cant do

ash12 aint worth it for all it takes for ammo

[lilac jungle]

have you considered adding some of H3's break-action revolvers

[echo flume]

anton will kill me

[lilac jungle]

huh? its not like he develops any of them in-house

but that said i was mostly referring to modded weapons assets any ways

[knotty sail]

i have forgot about that

ive spent too mcuh time in arc raiders that i forgot everythinh i knew about the world

i played a 17 hour session in my first day of playing

[reef hearth]

schlawg how 😭

[knotty sail]

what do you mean?

[reef hearth]

17 hours

[knotty sail]

oh
its 17 hours with my buddy

[reef hearth]

ohh

[knotty sail]

i played alone for 9 more

[reef hearth]

i gotta play it if its that good

[knotty sail]

wanna know how i did that?
