@frozen orchid where the hell is this cfg

[teal wing]

interesting I’ll take a look

[merry mountain]

if its your mod, you broke the formatting as the message says, for example , dont use tabs inside the cfg files, use spaces instead

[wicked wind]

Destiny player spotted. Order to eliminate

[rare ruin]

^^^^

this was a pain in the ass when I was making a mod

[teal wing]

wow Niev is the plug

that combo of mods is what i need

[sharp oasis]

I will probably test it out as well. Really good configs for a vanilla like experience

Dont want to go crazy atm lol

[inland estuary]

Finally got it!

[lost sky]

Has anyone found the naming file yet? NPCNames.cfg doesn't seem to be in use and I want to add some real names. Everyone has goofy ass names like Vlad Broccoli or Max Jackpot 😂

[pearl lichen]

it will probably be under a localization file

[rare ruin]

what is this?

[queen delta]

Vladimir Witcher

[lost sky]

I've seen so many Jackass and Oldspice.

[inland estuary]

inverted the texture on the knife as a test

[rare ruin]

ooooo, how did you do that? (you don't have to explain if its too long or time consuming)

[queen delta]

There were indeed Witcher name in CoP but for polish localization.

[naive trout]

or "Skif"

it's almost like they use pseudonyms so people don't come knocking on their door when they leave the zone or smth

[limber topaz]

Vault mod but you go into space-

[buoyant blaze]

if you'r talking about formatting issues the mod creator did it in the last line after 55 with two invisible spaces, I think he updated the mod by now, I personally just modified the config myself and didnt have any issues. That line isnt even changed from how it was originally

[inland estuary]

followed everything posted in addition to adding the folder in the "additional asset directories to cook"

[rare ruin]

nice!

[buoyant blaze]

I just asked claude to write me a bat file for repak and it worked, if you search this thread for "bat file for repak" it should show it.

[inland estuary]

it has been a process. ive been trying to get it to work since yesterday afternoon. I was about to give up lol. Last shot and it worked thankfully.

[buoyant blaze]

I think it makes no sense to waste time doing that manually when you can ask an AI to do it for you in 5 seconds

much less teaching or writing a guide on how to do it

[lost sky]

I wouldn't mind if the pseudonyms didn't sound like twitter handles made by 10 year olds.

[winged hemlock]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/219

Ready

[winged hemlock]

I hate ai

[buoyant blaze]

Can that be considered a skill issue?

[twilit scroll]

@honest glade would you be able to make it so radiant quest givers are able to give 3 quests with no breaks and also make the breaks only 1 day long

[pearl lichen]

I think the skill issue is you needing an AI

but ymmv

[wicked wind]

Guys, I'm making early prototypes for UI/UX overhaul, because I don't like how UI looks. If you have ideas/suggestion/features you want to see in Stalker's UI, please share it under my reddit post about it. Thanks!

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gyvmsi/looking_for_suggestions_for_a_uiux_overhaul_in/

[twilit scroll]

dialogue like in old stalker with the huge metal ui on the right

with a log

[pseudo harness]

If you can do it, recreate old Stalker UI or Anomaly/Gamma/EFP UIs

[buoyant blaze]

I'd consider it a skill issue if coding was otherwise part of my required skillset, which it is not. I'm running a strictly manual craftsmanship build.

[winged hemlock]

I know how to use it.

[wicked wind]

I like old one and I was thinking about it. May be added if it's possible

[pearl lichen]

z fighting all over the place in this area

[ancient flume]

Anyone figure out how to go about editing armor drop rate so that enemies always drop their armor?

[stark violet]

So, if I pack a mod WITH compression, I can not edit it's .pak with Notepad++, but if I pack it WITHOUT compression, I can edit its .pak with Notepad++.

[karmic cipher]

question: do we a have a mod that lock the inventory in place? (like after u restar or trade item) the inventory does a auto sort, wich is super annoying, while on nexues i could find a mod that does that, a kind soul could help? could a mod disalble sorting inventory?

[fresh yew]

Is it just me or is Skif like really short when talking to people?

[honest glade]

[buoyant blaze]

Is there any downside to not compressing mod pak files?

[karmic cipher]

no, some npc sink into the ground

[buoyant blaze]

That would make you seem taller, not shorter, unless you're suggesting the player is sinking

[north wasp]

He def smol in some cinematic lol

[fresh yew]

Maybe the player sinks?

[crimson laurel]

is there any upside to not do it?

[buoyant blaze]

No i think it's more that you have your camera coming out of your chest for gun alignment purposes

[buoyant blaze]

You can edit them directly

[karmic cipher]

i guess i have the opposite then he does, becose i saw staleker sinck, for is -z for him could be +z LOL

[twilit scroll]

maybe normal stalkers too btw

[buoyant blaze]

And boom, it's just like gamma

[stark violet]

Just tried, mod works fine, and now I can edit its values in the .pak file without unpacking it. may not work for everything, but it does not show gibberish, and the actual values as in a .cfg file.

[buoyant blaze]

That's not an answer to my question. By downsides I mean does it somehow impact performance or something.

If I'm gonna sacrifice 5 FPS because I didn't compress a mod, I'd rather jump through the hoops anyway

[rare ruin]

@wild ridge dm me

[stark violet]

Unsure, only able to see the different .cfg files in the Notepad++ editor, and can edit the values in the .pak file.

[rare ruin]

i would say it won't impact your performance, but it will take up slightly more space

but that's uncharted territory for me, I don't think it would matter that much for the pak

[quiet stag]

Where can I find the SIDs for locations? or the coordinates?

[stark violet]

yup, compressed file for me is 12kb, and uncompressed is 58kb.
I know the .pak uses 3 different .cfg files, and the Notepad++ editor shows the values of all 3 files in the uncompressed .pak

[royal cloak]

i heard there is a mod that adds loot to mutants, but cant seem to find the name of it :S

[stark violet]

[royal cloak]

thank you 🙂

[sudden summit]

thanks all who helped me with my questions. learned the basics now and can merge mods myself when needed. already merged -stamina mods + jump/climb mods (and smth else forgot already), and weight mod of my own too. friends also using them works great. thanks again!

oh and my own "balance" mod that came out out of Groks one, we wanted few extra tweaks more.

[silver kestrel]

anyone know what A life mod Klean tried?

[mighty compass]

is it me or there just so many mod that do the same or merge multiple tweak together i dont know what to use anymore

[silver kestrel]

Ye I feel the same @mighty compass

[kindred lotus]

holy shit, release a mod and you're flooded with 'can you do x but without y'

[sudden summit]

thats why I made my own so I know whats in there and coudl tweak numbers if we wanted to 😄

[silver kestrel]

But that is modding for ya I guess untill we get something that works perfectly so no other mods or changes needed 😛

[merry mountain]

probably ItemGeneratorPrototypes.cfg can do what you want

[honest glade]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1310189778934829106

[silver kestrel]

Awesome thanks

[merry mountain]

If you want to automatically check .pak files for mod conflicts, aka mods editing the same files , look at this post : #1310014674267541545 message

[tidal yew]

anyone figured out how to increase render distance to prevent enemies popping in and out

[north wasp]

Need this pinned somewhere

[merry mountain]

i will try to make a script that is able to auto diff merge .pak mods later or maybe tomorrow

[candid chasm]

hey did anyone find what the problem is? just got the same bs

[stark violet]

this is what unreal engine says regarding compression, if that gives some kind of answer

[sudden summit]

wtf where were u when I needed u 😄

[merry mountain]

eating cake and drinking sparkling wine, sorry 😄

[opaque kiln]

@merry mountain Can you pin that in that thread?

[sudden summit]

found one conflict good

[merry mountain]

no only a moderator can

[grave kite]

anyone happen to find timer settings for barman quests?

[opaque kiln]

ah

[merry mountain]

if something does not work as intended, please let me know
it does not work for mods that change textures atm, that come with .ucas / .utoc files

[sudden summit]

so far works, foudn conflicti n my weight mod and Jlonger day mod

[pearl lichen]

I don't think anyone has touched the same texture files yet

[merry mountain]

if i can list the content of these files without installing a large software like unreal engine, using terminal commands(for example with a small software downloaded from github or whatever), i can add that too in the future

[candid chasm]

did anyone find the solution 4 this?

[sudden summit]

the only thing longer day mod did was this one line?
RealToGameTimeCoef = 18
damn tought it owuld be much more 😄

[oak lance]

do you know what might be causing conflicts on my mods? ledge grabbing isn't working for me

[candid chasm]

sprint cost

[sudden summit]

run the linked script

[stark violet]

[merry mountain]

download the attached file, put it in the same folder, execute it and check the generated .txt file

[oak lance]

thank you all

[candid chasm]

did anyone find the solution 4 this?

when packing a mod

[tender elm]

thank you for this!

[honest glade]

this was the wrong unpacker

[woeful folio]

Working on trying to export some of the weapon models to figure out how to go about replacing them - but I've only been able to export these low LOD versions from the files thru FModel. Kinda stuck on this for now - hopefully I can find some solution to this tho.

[sudden summit]

one more question before Im out for today. Is it possible to adjsut the length of day/night, as far I see mods edit one line which makes both day and night longer, any way to make them different?>

[candid chasm]

do you have a link 4 right one?

[merry mountain]

what do you guys think, should i make a post in #1309526198833119303 for it?

[sudden summit]

for sure

[merry mountain]

its not a mod so im not sure, but whatever, grok can delete it if he thinks its the wrong place

[honest glade]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1309520964782133328

[sudden summit]

nah, ask Grok to add it to mod-resources

[versed roost]

Hello everyone, guys, where is the 2d PDA map, can someone tell me, thx ?

[undone cave]

something nanite bullshit probably (pretty sure those are the ones you see if you turn nanite off in the engine.ini)

[candid chasm]

ok, i will try. i tried to extract with this, but some mods have errors and i downloaded another one.

[honest glade]

extract?

extract a .zip file?

[candid chasm]

pak

[woeful folio]

That's my thinking as well after doing some research, but not sure how to go about "reactivating" it for extraction thru FModel - or maybe I just have to find some other method to extract them I guess.

[candid chasm]

i mean unpack

maybe ask the guy who made the knife mod, not sure if he had to do something like that as he just did a retexture though

yes

Night Vision Goggles Reshade

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/218

Just saw these two on Nexus mods, thought I'd share (in case it didn't happen already anyway)

big thanks to all you modders, making the launch of the game sooooo much more enjoyable

[undone cave]

can't wait for actual nightvision to get added in, these buildings are pitch black

[spring coral]

Playing with ALife Director https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhYW6rzt-og

Turning the zone into a literal battlefield 😂

[cyan stirrup]

Any pointers to adjust ambiant light in buildings during the day? It doesn't make sense for every tiny corner to be in pitch black darkness when there are windows all around

[undone cave]

adding back the warfare gamemode before gsc lol

[gaunt bay]

Max Alife MAXXED

just mod that spams billions of fighters

[candid chasm]

finally a flashlight mod

[spring coral]

Yeah I'll publish that for the fun, it's complete mayhem

[maiden oriole]

yesss gonna install it now

[woeful folio]

Yeah I'm looking into doing more than just texture replacement stuff - have a feeling the whole Nanite thing is going to make this much more complex than I initially thought

[sudden summit]

jsut to confirm if Im right, all those longer day mods, actually makes longer days or the way they do it also makes nights longer?

[candid chasm]

is this a same as ObjPrototypes.cfg ?

[queen delta]

One minute in game can correspond to whatever value is set. And I don't know the length of the night in minutes but it would be like this

[gloomy scroll]

would turning up realtogametimecoef increase the length of days, or is it the other way around?

[sudden summit]

so by default its set to 24, so its 24/2 12 min day and 12 min nights? someone else mby knows?

[queen delta]

If I have set 1 it's 1 minute in game corresponds to 1 irl minute

But still I don't know the night lenght. you can set the value for something like 60 and count the "minutes" in game pass and get to know what is the time of the night

[gloomy scroll]

oh nvm i think i have it figured out, 1 hour irl x realtogametimecoef = amount of in game hours per 1 hour irl

so itll be an inverse relationship

writing it down here just in case someone needs the info later down the road

[sudden summit]

but if so, that would mean increasing number would icnrease day length per 1 irl hour, but mods instead lowers it

[gloomy scroll]

the double day length mod changes it from 24 to 12, which means for every real life hour theres 12 in game hours

[sudden summit]

ooh ye ye right

[gloomy scroll]

which means it takes 2 hours to complete the 24 hr day night cycle instead of 1 like in base game

[sudden summit]

yeah so it does adjust them together, I wonder if someone will find a way to adjust them separately

[pseudo harness]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/218

[gloomy scroll]

wait what we have nvgs now?

Modders hard at work

We will have A-Life before the first patch 😄

[gloomy scroll]

real bethesda experience right here

modders doing the dev's job for them

[flat ridge]

Anyone had trouble with "Longer Sprinting" and "Jake

jake's longer days"

[gloomy scroll]

probably due to it both modifying corevariables.cfg

[gaunt bay]

so cursed.....what could fix this i wonder

[pseudo harness]

yes, they dont work together, use this instead:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/156

[gloomy scroll]

unrealunpak then merge the mod values

[flat ridge]

thank you

[merry mountain]

if the mod just changes the realtogametimecoef , everything will be equally longer, according to the values set in the cfg.
You can also change the length in ingame hours of the day / niight tho, or to be more speciifc , from which hours of the day to which hour is considered day, and what is considered night

[gloomy scroll]

lower repair cost mods most likely alters it as well

[sudden summit]

wait its possible? why then no one does that? I checked few mods all jsut edits realtogame time coef

[gloomy scroll]

so if you are running them you should check their pak files to see if they reference corevariables as well

[sudden summit]

would u know how to? I would appreciate any info about it

[merry mountain]

its in the same file
lines 918 - 921

CoreVariables.cfg

[sudden summit]

aaaa, why no one edited them

cool. thanks

[steep dagger]

Hey guys, im not a modder but just like to make a suggestion for someone who is, perhaps a better flashlight mod? The one in base game has very limited range

[flat ridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/221

[noble latch]

there was a Nexusmods guide for how to mod stalker 2 in here but i cant find the nexuslink anymore

[steep dagger]

Damnit, I looked before I said that to make sure it wasnt made already, I missed it

[noble latch]

somebody has it for me?

[flat ridge]

it literally just came out, not ur fault

[steep dagger]

Ty

[honest glade]

no but see if this helps #╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

[sudden summit]

thanks alot. now we will be happy 😄

[rare ruin]

hey guys, this is an extremely rough first draft on how to create new items with UITextures https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZxMLENRE265xOeVwDcjS9XEwmhRZKsPTtLiRWnf92Os/edit?usp=sharing

I know the formatting is awful, I do not know how to use Google Docs well enough 🫠 it's been too long

[pearl lichen]

yes its that simple

[rare ruin]

god dude my fingers hurt from typing that shitty draft 💀

[pearl lichen]

idk if someone answered you already but there are variables that control when a morning or night starts, so you can probably look at those to make days longer and nights shorter

[prime saddle]

Hey, I'm trying to retexture the backpack for Stalker 2 but it doesn't seem I can extract the texture file itself, any help around here?

[pearl lichen]

also you may have found the fallback lod for nanite

[prime saddle]

it comes as .uasset, I extract raw data but no way to open it

[prime saddle]

save texture also doesn't work

[pearl lichen]

dont think thats the texture, textures usually start with T_

[rare ruin]

^

is that a material

[prime saddle]

That's the only location the backpack files is located at

yes its a material

the han folder is already something else entirely

[rare ruin]

pretty sure you have to extract textures, can't do mats to my knowledge with that function

[noble latch]

im still searching for the stupid script that is setting the rain material i just cant find it ffs

[desert hollow]

That's sick a bit scuffed in comparison to actual NVG's but cool nevertheless

[queen delta]

@mild fable My Riemann still has 20 cap magazine. So it's not kriss vector class it must be something else

[prime saddle]

it'll also come as uasset

[pearl lichen]

you just needed to read that uasset a bit

[prime saddle]

this doesn't appear to me at all 😭

[rare ruin]

the words "a bit" are doing a lot of heavy lifting

[prime saddle]

oh frick

[pearl lichen]

when you go there, since its a texture, just export texture

[prime saddle]

my bad, I'm new to all of this

[pearl lichen]

(right click, save texture)

[prime saddle]

I'm only used to make mods for skyrim and source engine stuff lmao

[rare ruin]

its confusing to a lot of us, don't worry @prime saddle

[pearl lichen]

based

[royal heath]

i have to say, i hate the fact that they made it so a " better weapon" with the same caliber has more AP, makes no sense at all. can't wait for that to be modded XD

a better weapon should have less recoil, more range etc etc

[rare ruin]

I was making a fully voiced NPC follower, but then the VA randomly disappeared lmao

they just got hella busy with life so I was like its all good and just stopped

[royal heath]

a 9x19 vektor mowing down enemies while a 445 round is doing nothing because ona starter weapon is bolloks

[prime saddle]

yeah so, how would I do that? I right click it, save texture, but it doesn't do nothing.

[desert hollow]

doesnt weapon rebalance fix that?

[rare ruin]

at the bottom of the window, does it say "failed"

when you do it

[prime saddle]

yep

[desert hollow]

or am i misinterpreting what the mod does

[rare ruin]

hmmm

[pearl lichen]

the file is saved here

[prime saddle]

I don't have the mapping file I think

that might be the issue its failing?

[rare ruin]

that's why

[prime saddle]

where do I get it?

[woeful folio]

I mean, that's what I'm assuming it is - though I've had no luck looking through all the other weapon assets for the full versions, likely because of this whole Nanite thing.

[rare ruin]

dm @prime saddle

[royal heath]

didn't check the mod, so no clue

[junior horizon]

how are you guys modding in general rn? UE5 or other tools?

[noble latch]

u know where weather is being handeled. I saw in the First Cutszene of the game in the Destroyed building Snowfall and i want to change the rain to Snow

[sand vault]

Question, how would I go about looking into modifying the stats of a specific weapon? For example, I really like the named weapon Shah's Mate, but even fully upgraded it's no where near as good as a Buket S-2, which is just silly imo.

[desert abyss]

shouldnt the ue version be 5.1

[pearl lichen]

for cfg edits, you can use unrealpak to pak/unpak, textures you need UE

[noble latch]

However everything i find related to weather doesnt bring me close to the rain particle

[mild fable]

I noticed weapon classes attributes are overridden by default attachments attributes

[pearl lichen]

yea, just a mistake from day 1

[junior horizon]

"cfg edits" being like, ammo damage or other values i assume?

[queen delta]

Huh? Like extended magazine stuff?

[pearl lichen]

for some things, others like flashlight stats are in blueprints, which we don't have access

so its a mix

[mild fable]

So to edit ammo of the Kriss Vector, I had to edit the default mag instead of the default weapon archetype

[pearl lichen]

for adding new items in, its all through config

[mild fable]

Let me push a fix

[junior horizon]

is there gonna be an official devkit?

[pearl lichen]

they plan to support modding, we dont have any info beyond that

[junior horizon]

ah gotcha

[pearl lichen]

your guess is as good as mine

[royal heath]

holy shit, is going to option weel and then c the only way to switch to underbarrel mounted thingy ? is there no button ?

[junior horizon]

thanks for the help 👍 wanna get the game soon and tinnker a bit

[desert canyon]

hey, how goes a life? anyone find anything cool about it besides the npc threaten stuff and the rank/rep systems?

[pearl lichen]

is this considered cool to you? #1310037284954837063

oh I thought you said "life" not "a life"

still cool, just not alife related

I know people found something related to lairs, but that doesn't seem to be working?

[sand vault]

Is there any way to modify the stats of a specific weapon, and not just an archetype or ammo type?

[desert hollow]

LMAOO i thought he was asking how life was too

[honest glade]

lol

[prime saddle]

god save me to know where everything goes

[mild fable]

Can you try this ?

[sand vault]

A-Life feels pretty bad atm. The best stuff I've seen from NPCs in terms of encounters is baked in.

But it does look like it can be improved, just a matter of if modders get to it before the devs do

[desert hollow]

https://canary.discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1310189778934829106 they're already workin on it

[sand vault]

This is exactly what I was asking about. The Shah's Mate stats suck. It's such a cool looking gun, but even basic Buket S-2's have better stats and performance.

[ocean cedar]

Playerweaponsettingsprototypes you can mess with the guns overall stat per gun.

[desert abyss]

they hard disabled some shit that we cannot change

[sand vault]

That's unfortunate

[sand vault]

Ty, I'll look into this

[maiden oriole]

How do I open the console ingame? It's activated through a mod

[sand vault]

~?

[woeful folio]

Throwing this onto my own comment - but for anyone looking to extract the weapon models (which have Nanite on them), FModel has no way of extracting those (yet) sadly, afaik. Seems there's been some folks here asking in the FModel server. Hopefully a solution will be found (or official SDK /s)

[sand vault]

Try ~

[queen delta]

It worked perfectly

[heavy belfry]

is there a mod that removes durability drain?

[sand vault]

Yes, check nexus

[pearl lichen]

I've seen tons on nexus

[maiden oriole]

Doesn't do anything sadly 😦

But the mod works for sure, because the new/bigger flashlight works
(The mod says it auto enables the console to edit the flashlight etc)

Referring to:
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/221?tab=docs

[sand vault]

Ah, there's a mod specific for enabling the console

Try the description of that mod

[mild fable]

When I'll get tired of the poor gun balance I'll probably make a big overhaul myself lol

[novel iron]

is there already a mod against the stupid head bobbing?

[sand vault]

Yeah, I'm looking into changing a few myself. Got AES Dumpster, FModel, RePak and UnrealPak, so about to get to work, I guess. Just gotta get some sleep first.

[pearl lichen]

oh cool someone messed with bps

[sand vault]

Starting with Shah's Mate.

[pearl lichen]

@high plaza

[maiden oriole]

Yep! I was wondering what he meant with BPs, wasn't sure if he was referring to UE BPs - but I think so

[maiden oriole]

The flashlight mod enables the console itself (according to the mod description):

"(mod enables console by default)"

Wondering if it's a different key for me because of my German keyboard lol

[sand vault]

Haven't modded in UE in a long while, been messing with Cyberpunk too much. Glad to be back to STALKER.

[violet delta]

Yeah tilde key works for me to open console

[maiden oriole]

found the key, thanks guys ❤️

(/ on numpad lol)

[ocean cedar]

Once you unpack it its straight forward enough. Also looks like base stats and damage are in that file @sand vault . What did ya want to make unique about it?

[vital orbit]

sorry stupid question how to open console in Razer Huntsman Mini hahaah

[sand vault]

That should be all of the possible commands to open console

[sand vault]

Wanted to give it stats more in line with the Buket S-2, with similar upgrade path
A fully upgraded S-2 is far, far better than the Shah's Mate. Maybe just change the ammo type to 9x18 would do it?

[cobalt hamlet]

@pearl lichen Can you check your DM please

[desert canyon]

oh yeah its awesome

just wanted to let my dad know if there was anything else we dug up

hes excited for a life to get updated as well

[grave kite]

anyone know where i can find dialogue files in fmodel?

[noble latch]

Ok this is how far i got in terms of changing weather params. However i cant find the matching PostProcess anywhere..

[pearl lichen]

I forgot to reply earlier, but there is a dynamic weather mod, you can look at what they did

[sand vault]

Despite the problems, gotta say, I already love this game.

The potential is huge. Looking forward mostly to seeing what the modding community does over the next few years.

[cloud lark]

Hey Guys, has anyone found a mod or made a mod that limits the amount of food that you have to consume? I'm currently playing with 8h days so the amount of food consumption is kinda off atm.

[sand vault]

It does get crazy. I see it pop up right after I eat sometimes.

Haven't seen a mod yet though

But I don't think it'd be difficult to mod

[desert canyon]

does this fix actual a life or just improves the random spawn system

[cloud lark]

the question really is what variables to change in what file

[sand vault]

It just tweaks what's there. Most of A-Life actual potential is locked down by the devs right now

[formal bronze]

@rare ruin Do you recall how you fixed this error?

[past oar]

Has anyone figured out a way to make the flashlight not suck?

[sand vault]

It does things like increase spawn radius, tweak spawn rate, etc.

[sand vault]

There's a mod for it

[rigid nebula]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/221?tab=description

[past oar]

Thank you!

[high plaza]

MAN WTF

[sand vault]

LOL

[high plaza]

ITS A CONSOLE SETTING THIS ENTIRE TIME

[sand vault]

Of course "LAMP" Guy would get a hardon for a mod like that

lmao

[past oar]

you're fucking kiding me, really?

[sand vault]

Yeah

crazy

[past oar]

I could have done that when I fixed mouse acceleration

[sand vault]

Thought it was hard coded up until I saw that earlier

[formal bronze]

I don't think those are default commands

[rigid nebula]

if anyone finds some cool presets for the flashlight lmk pls

[stuck cape]

is there any mod where u can use any optic on any gun

[high plaza]

IVE BEEN USELESSLY FUCKING WITH UE5 AND ENCRYPTION ON ASSETS FOR NO REASON

I’m gonna lose it

[sand vault]

I just hope they add NVG and binoculars eventually, after they get rid of, or fix this atrocious NPC spawn system. I want to see static enemies.

Well, enemies who stay around certain areas, and not just spawn in when you get close.

[formal bronze]

He's an experienced UE mod developer, I think he made the parameters of the flashlight to be modifiable in the console, not that he found those console commands. I think he's developing a S2 API SDK

[subtle gazelle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/218

[rigid nebula]

cant wait for a mutant looting mod

[sand vault]

Damn nice, must be using the flashlight for that

I'd much rather keep the game dark and have to use NVG

[bronze monolith]

it's using reshade

which is just post processing on top of the game

[sand vault]

Ahh ok

bummer

I'll try it anyway

[formal bronze]

#1310037284954837063

[noble latch]

this lazy crab. just looked into it and the only thing they have done is remixed the weather chain abit and thats it

[sand vault]

Yeah, they just tuned the timings between the events

Nothing special

[noble latch]

its not really new weather its more of a remix instead

[sand vault]

They made certain transitions last longer

Stuff like that will come later with mod support

[noble latch]

i guess i really have to wait for the SDK before my Snow dream can come true

[earnest gale]

guys is it normal that trees on distance looks like this or is only my problem?

[noble latch]

defintly yours.

[earnest gale]

damn any suggestion?

[sand vault]

You using reshade?

[noble latch]

or any other kind of mod´

[noble latch]

JESUS OF MODS

Well u have 3 ways to go with this. First move all mods and look if its fixed. after u can do the work and pick one by one until u find the Naughty Boy. Or u just nuke ur mods

[nimble heron]

longer days might be the issue

[crude coral]

A-life tweaks? Interesting

[teal wing]

y

[noble latch]

could be. Maybe the game still thinks its nighttime and just the skybox is adjusted lol

[nimble heron]

yeah

non-existent a-life tweaks damn thats new

[lilac stump]

Did anyone notice the minecraft villager pondering noise of NPCs in Bases?

[sand vault]

Yeah, the longer days mod doesn't adjust everything having to do with day and night length. A lot of things in the game are dependant on the day night cycle, like NPC movements, movement speed, etc.

So they can only tweak how bright it is, which could affect certain visuals

[maiden oriole]

If the person that made the flashlight mod is in here... biiiiig thanks man! Was the most awaited mod for me personally rn. Very good mod, works perfectly

Makes me wonder if it is possible to change the coordinates from where the flashlight originates?

Could make it a flashlight "attached" to the weapon, lol

[rigid nebula]

whats ur preset?

[maiden oriole]

sec

[sand vault]

Weird, the audio just crashed in my game

[teal wing]

[tacit yarrow]

Did any of you notice the build-in discord plugins in stalker? was looking in the different folders

[maiden oriole]

Hmh, for some reason the command fl_state action print (or fl_state print) doesn't work

Yea, none of the actions with fl_state work for me (read: user error, i am too much of a smoothbrain, probably)

[noble latch]

i just want the mod sdk. #

[pearl lichen]

RPC? thats standard

[tacit yarrow]

fair

thought it was something related to multiplayer

[pearl lichen]

its how you get the game playing under your profile

[rare ruin]

h o w

[rare ruin]

get rif of "0x" from the AES KEy

[rigid nebula]

if anyone figures out drawing custum ui elements please dm me id love to work on a rudimentary pda npc chat system, focusing mostly on weather and such comments as a start till real A-life gets fixed

[inner mountain]

hopefully after the mod sdk is out and the pvp multiplayer mode gets added maybe hopefully we will get somthing akin to skyrim together like stalker together

[rare ruin]

if you somehow get this I will be forever in your debt

[maiden oriole]

Yoooooooo that would be so cool

[slate orchid]

Wait the multiplayer mode is going to be pvp not like free roam pve?!

[cinder meteor]

At this point devs should drop the modding tool first instead of any fix😂😂

[pseudo harness]

I hope they realize what they have with Stalker and have Open World Servers for up to 64 Stalkers or something like that with Story Mode disabled

But thats a dream

[inner mountain]

yeah only pvp sadly, devs said some bs about how the zone is suppose to be a lonely place and will remain a solo experience but we all know people make friends and can roam in groups in the zone, i think they just dont want to put the time and effort into developing a coop mode

[slate orchid]

[tacit yarrow]

yessss please !

[pseudo harness]

Gotta hope Ray of Hope drops at some point

[violet delta]

Be cool if someone makes a Gas mask HUD mod kinda like Metro

[inner mountain]

from what i heard developing a multiplayer mod should be a lot easier on ue5 compared to most other engines so im hopeful we will get some kind of coop mod this time around

[remote tendon]

I get failed on fmodel with aes key? any idea

[elder pike]

😂😂😂https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/223

[pearl lichen]

once pvp and the modding kit are out, people can look at how the pvp code works and try that for coop (ideally)

[pearl lichen]

you need the AES key

[remote tendon]

I have got it

but says failed

[pearl lichen]

then you messed up somewhere

screenshot it

[remote tendon]

The key?

[past oar]

Death Stranding has entered the chat

[pearl lichen]

should be like this

[weak carbon]

where do I get ALife_Tweaks

[slate orchid]

I will pay for that mod 100% pleaseeee

[remote tendon]

Yeah its in there

[cinder meteor]

Can we hope for something like seamless mod from elden ring or is that just a dream

[cinder meteor]

I guess ER has coop so

[tacit yarrow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/210 anyone tried this?

[pearl lichen]

show the error then

[pearl lichen]

you set the game to UE5.1, right?

[remote tendon]

Ah shit

[earnest gale]

FIXED!!! THE MOD NAMED 'STK2 - SPF" BREAK TREES LIGHT IN DISTANCE

[weak carbon]

I haven't used that one, but I used "alife bandaid" which spawns out to 500 meters, and I can see mutants and stalkers from way far off. it's worth trying

[pearl lichen]

its referencing UE4 functions there, so thats my guess

[pseudo harness]

It promises a lot, I'm gonna give that a go

[remote tendon]

Now its working @pearl lichen cheers mate!

[thorny yacht]

I find enclosed space perfectly dark but outdoors are kinda bright . Is there a way to reduce sky brightness during the night using reshade. I dont want to see during night outside of my flashlight. I am not scared atm but i want to be

[pearl lichen]

i love troubleshooting

[pearl lichen]

you could try lowering your gamma? and then maybe use the flashlight mod?

so you get better visibility and darker scenes

[thorny yacht]

yes i played around, didnt get the "gamma result"

[nimble heron]

dont you have like a million mods that conflict with eachother tho lmao?

[limpid sequoia]

I heard yall are making them mutant parts mod

[past oar]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1310037284954837063 Indeed someone has

[nimble heron]

2 alife mods 2 radiation mods

[limpid sequoia]

[fervent stratus]

trying this now lets see, curious to see what this one does

im trying to achieve this level of night light but i just cant https://x.com/i/status/1647770023094804480

Testing new ALife on stream

[maiden oriole]

looks like it works????

lfg??? 😄

[nimble heron]

did you merge? you realize load order just prevents overrides, you have 2 seperate mods that operate the same parameters, no?

[formal bronze]

IT SEEMS TO WORK

[maiden oriole]

lets goooo

[prime juniper]

What mod, the one in nexus?

[tacit yarrow]

just installed it as well

´super ready for actual stalker gameplay - the world is too dead atm

combo of a-life and the fixed spawns would be pretty amazing

[pseudo harness]

Which one is he testing? A-Life Tweaks, right?

[midnight ravine]

Roadside Panic

[tacit yarrow]

think its roadside panic alife mod

[fervent stratus]

its doing something my performance is taking some good hits

[midnight ravine]

I'm noticing a 7-10fps hit

[pseudo harness]

The Roadside Picnic mod has an inbuilt longer day/night cycle

[tacit yarrow]

it does?

so i can remove my longer days mod?

[fervent stratus]

edit : it still spawns a bunch of random npc real close, 5 heavily geared guys spawned 10m infront of me

[midnight ravine]

I'm already running the 4x longer days mod lol

[maiden oriole]

yes, 4x

[tacit yarrow]

damn

[maiden oriole]

The modder is also in the discord, he just joined and is currently in the alife tweaks thread, in case anyone wants to join the discussion:

#1310189778934829106 message

[fervent stratus]

reloading now, going to just walk towards slag heap and see if i notice differences

[snow garnet]

for the mods do I have to extract the .pak files into ~mods or can I just leave the files in the folder?

[nimble heron]

extract to mods

[wild ridge]

Seriously?! I was able to load all the archives at once all this time and not have problems switching between packs to organize textures/meshes/materials and scripts at the same time?!

[merry mountain]

probably STK2_SPF

[pseudo harness]

oh, is roadside picnic the mod Connerria sent earlier? I see he is the author on nexus. I tried it earlier, this aint it

[merry mountain]

it should also work with folders

[earnest gale]

Yes!!!

[merry mountain]

it works with subfolders, i just tested it. So if you want to, just put your paks in subfolders to organize

[north wasp]

Damn that is super useful to know

[snow garnet]

u are jesus

also how Do i know if the mods are working?

[merry mountain]

depending on what they change, you would see it ingame

for example different prices, you can sprint longer etc. depending on what mods you install

more subtle changes will be harder to spot

[snow garnet]

thank you sir

[merry mountain]

if someone changes stuff from enemy behavior for example , you would need to do some fights and then deciide if you think it made a difference

[gusty olive]

your explanations make sense on paper. but explain why AI despawns past 80m on both console and PC? why did they kerep it on PC if the game is not consolified?
Also, the new AI mod that aims to make the game mroe alive has MASSIVE performance impact, so where the fuck does this notion come from that a-life does not impact performance? the offline simulation part maybe, but thats just one aspect of it

[merry mountain]

the mod does not have offline alive, it increases spawns and distances, and makes them despawn at way higher distances, so you have way more npcs that need to be calculated

[leaden dagger]

Could be a number of reasons why they despawns past 80 meters. It's not because you're not seeing them that their data stop existing. I could be culling skeletal meshes, but their capsules and entity keep on living past that distance. An entity doesn't need to have a physical and visual representation to exist as part of the system. You're simply thinking of the visuals

[desert hollow]

the mod author himself said that it's only perf hungry because their bruteforcing it to spawn a-life scenarios hundreds of meters away

likely a fixed a-life will be much less intensive on CPU because of the offline-component

[eternal bramble]

is there anyway to make the unique guns customizable? i havent seen anyone bring it up yet

[thorny ember]

Are achievements disabled with mods on?

[kindred lotus]

ayy thats my mod 🙂

[merry mountain]

you can even give you all achievements 😄

[light coral]

Hi modders. I would like to ask you some stuff regarding STALKER 2

[thorny ember]

Haven't gotten to that point yet hahaha

[remote tendon]

Looking for the path for traders anyone know?

[merry mountain]

there is a file that has attachment information for the different guns, but i think someone said that only changes what the UI tells you that you can attach, but you actually cant

[light coral]

I would like to know in your exp messing with the game files, how much can you mod it? Like if you can mod new guns, with animations, and also quests.

[merry mountain]

Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\TradePrototypes.cfg

[remote tendon]

Mostly just cfg files at current. Waiting on more tools from devs

[olive mantle]

I think for this we need sdk

[remote tendon]

Cheers

[light coral]

Shit. I doubt they would release the SDK of STALKER 2

At least until the next 5 years

[merry mountain]

adding new guns and animations either needs sdk or some kind of confirmation on what they use for modsupport so we can get the plugins running ourselfs
new textures are already possible
new quests not sure, there are different files regarding to quests, but i dont think we can make proper new ones using only that

[slate orchid]

Slightly similar question, what about modding normal guns? like the svd, I'd love to take the scope off and use iron sights with it

[olive mantle]

I think he will, but what he can do, I don't know.

when it comes out, we'll see

[light coral]

Can you mod A-life with the SDK?

[olive mantle]

I'm telling you, we don't know what sdk will let us do

[merry mountain]

we know nothing about the sdk

[light coral]

Ok

Thanks for letting me know

[olive mantle]

But he clearly won't be a map editor like we were given in the original trilogy

[merry mountain]

we think they might use eiither SimpleUGC or mod.io Mod support

because some peoplpe found mod.io related images in the gamefiles

[light coral]

I was curious because I think the game has a lot of potential if it can be modded similar to the OG trilogy

[olive mantle]

It's gonna be great

[royal heath]

i just had to eff around for SO LONG for the zalissya bug... ffs

console bs

[glass cave]

hi guys is there someone who merged Roadside Panic + Mouse fix + Weight limit increase?

[fierce kiln]

Devs said full overhauks will be possible with mod tools so I'm guessing they will be good

[olive mantle]

I haven't heard about a complete full overhauls, but they've obviously let it be known that sdk is coming, but when? idk

[fierce kiln]

They said it not too long ago forgot where. Also said tools will be coming not too far from release.

[olive mantle]

Probably talked in ask gsc, but how soon? It could be a month or two

[summer lagoon]

I think we will have unofficial modding tools before a proper SDK, I'm used to mod unreal engine games, I'm also an unreal engine dev myself and from my experience doing an SDK for UE5 is extremely complex ( because all the tools we have to create sdk's are outdated and only compatible with UE4 ).

I think except satisfactory I don't know any games with supported modding capabilities in UE5. this should change in the near future tho.

[fierce kiln]

No this was an artice with devs. Yeah I figure by february

[olive mantle]

I'm already itching to dig into the game properly, not just the cfg files

[fierce kiln]

Yeah I'm impressed so far with what we are getting with cfg tweaks.

[olive mantle]

Well, that's true

[raven bobcat]

just added all these to my game. was tryna hold off but couldnt help myself lol wish me luck bois

[olive mantle]

Same build

[flat ridge]

Mods alrdy fixed the game

[prime juniper]

Yeah still had a group spawn right on top of me with the roadside mod

[royal heath]

lol

[tame epoch]

who can make 150 max weight + stamina + repair cost 65%?

[royal heath]

i want them to fix mission breaking bugs... leaving a mission at sultansk undone because every time i trigger it it gets autocompleted...

and salissya mission was also borked, had to console command the f out of it

this game is so obscenely untested

[teal wing]

why don’t you?

[tame epoch]

I cant try make this ,and cant (

[teal wing]

These files conflict so some will not work 🙂

[royal heath]

btw, someone said that he is an expert of unreal... can we expect alife to be fixed ? or it's one of those things where because they switched to unreal the game is effed ? can we have enemies sawn hundreds of meters away ? coul we snipe them from super far away ? will that even be a possibility ?

[hybrid lotus]

I love popping in here once or twice a day and reading everything you guys are working on and figuring out keep it up!

[teal wing]

A life 2.0 should not be thought of as being fixed to look like “a life” from the other games.This is a spawn director in a radius around the player inherently

[glass cave]

where can i find that script which checks all mod files for conflicts?

[royal heath]

what i'm asking is if this engine handles far ecents from the player or it becomes and impossible resource hogs making the game slow as f

because let's say the creation engine for bethesda is a mess and hs that issue for example

[summer lagoon]

To fix A-life, they should develop it before, because from what I've seen from the in-games files and other mods, there is no A-life it's just a basic spawner with a min and max range, so can modder fix it ? yes, but they will have to develop it or wait for the official devs to do it.

[velvet pewter]

Has anyone tried this? Seems like the best replacement for a-life for now

[teal wing]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/210 this is a prime example. They simply upped the current values of what the game has in its code, to make things spawn farther away. It's like changing 5000 to 20,000. That's all. Youll notice it says massive fps cost, so start enjoying 30 fps. Theres another version of the mod there thats the cpu scorcher version he calls it, which just ups the values higher in a farther radius around the player. That is A-Life 2.0 performance scaled up

I checked and unpacked the mod to read the values

[royal heath]

ok see that's what i mean

[teal wing]

So it is impossible yes.

[queen delta]

guys little help needed, what file should I drop onto .bat for AES key to make it look for it?

[glass cave]

there was no performance diff for me. R5 5600 + RX6800 + 32GB ram. so it either doesnt work for me or i dont know 😄

[royal heath]

bruteforcing it to heaven by killing fps is not what i ment really

[teal wing]

its the exact answer to your question

the answer is : this engine cannot handle far from player

its also running on an old version

unreal 5.1 . The current version of unreal is 5.5

[velvet pewter]

sheesh, im guessing it will never be updated to that engine?

[teal wing]

In order to actually have all those npcs around, they would need to use server meshing

[royal bane]

hey all 🙂 is there a simple process for the cooking the .uassets in ue5?

getting a bit lost 😒

[teal wing]

that would require no mans sky effort

simply

[white sentinel]

They could port the game to 5.5

[teal wing]

Games do not support NPCs far away from the player

It would require there to be that offline/online code

[royal heath]

well ... fuck then... that's why i fear everybody converting to unreal... oh boy cyberpunk 2 on unreal, RIP

[teal wing]

"online" is the radius around the player, and "offline" doesnt exist

brutal generalization

[merry mountain]

thats easy tho, you just update their logic less often

[bleak fern]

has anyone considered making the fuze snap sound for when you throw an f1/rdg5 grenade? would love this

[viscid yacht]

Yay, started progress on re-doing all my Call of Chernobyl mods in STALKER2.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/234

Great job on the documentation yall. Really nailed it.

[teal wing]

i would like to see them update to unreal 5.5 which includes server meshing, and it could allow those npcs to reside on another thread, or something

[royal heath]

fully semiautimatic LUL

[teal wing]

but turning the npc logic up higher than like 75 meters around the player, is a massive performance drop. thats why unreal games dont do that. @royal heath none of them do.

[royal bane]

dont worry all, i think i found it

[royal heath]

old engine did it and was amazing.... soooo my point stands, rip all the games picking up unreal

[teal wing]

the engine does support games like fortnite just fine, but notice there isnt a lot of npcs in a large scale br

[summer lagoon]

it has nothing to do with UE 5.5, they can achieve a proper A-life in any version, it's just a question of optimize the shit out of their AI system, Unreal engine is a very capable engine, unfortunately devs are lazy theses days

[white sentinel]

I agree with sousou

It has nothing to do with UE 5.1 or 5.5

[teal wing]

i never said any of it had anything to do with unreal 5.5, and i never said it required any version to accomplish a-life. 👍

so i agree

[north wasp]

Just because there's a newer version of unreal doesn't mean they should update, especially if they have their own in house tech developed specifically for the game.

[summer lagoon]

But in the other hand UE 5.5 is way way more optimized than UE 5.1 based on the techs they are using so it could definitively help with perfs

[cloud cipher]

They also stated they've heavily modified the engine for their use

[white sentinel]

It can probably be ported nonetheless

[teal wing]

like I said, server meshing is a big breakthru tech… shouldn’t gloss over that…

[deft falcon]

updating a whole project from 5.1 to 5.5 is gonna take a looong time

[north wasp]

For what purpose lmao, this is stalker not star citizen

[worldly geyser]

Boys, anyone could help me a bit finalize my FModel setup? Coder myself but new to modding.

[white sentinel]

Partial offline AI per server

[teal wing]

Imagine the possibilities hypothetically if it was integrated with an A Life system somehow

[desert nexus]

People assume it's as simple as pressing a few buttons. Even minor updates to large engines can break big projects for weeks

[teal wing]

Indeed, that’s what 20 years of unreal has taught me for sure lol

[north wasp]

You don't need server meshing for that, that would be hell of a lot of effort for something you can do locally with a smart implementation

[bronze monolith]

It has nothing to do with the engine, it has simply to do with whether they implemented it or not

[royal heath]

i mean, yes sure, but according to the guy above unreal does not handle well far away npc

sooo maybe it's that why they didn't have it on ?

[bronze monolith]

so what? build your own system for offine simulation

[royal heath]

they realized that everything was effed

[bronze monolith]

it's a significantly different and far coarses system that can operate on more low-detail representations of the world

[desert nexus]

Unreal is an open source engine. Things don't have to work one way

[bronze monolith]

they could build it in 2007, they can build it today, if they want to and put in the time and effort

[kindred lotus]

isnt it closed source

[deft falcon]

Free to use up to a certain treshold

or something

[cedar basin]

this might be a dumb question but any ultimate edition players wanna let me download your save i lost mine

[bronze monolith]

Source is available for anyone who wants it and you can make your own custom build of the engine (and everybody who seriously works with UE does, including GSC)

[kindred lotus]

free to use does not open source make

[white sentinel]

"Unreal Engine includes full access to the complete C++ source code, so you can study, customize, extend, and debug the entire Unreal Engine."

[deft falcon]

Thats what i meant, its closed source but available for free

[teal wing]

Back to the first message I initially sent. The system you are thinking of inherently does not exist in code

the spawn circle is what they put in game

[desert nexus]

My mistake, but it is possible to view the source for authorized accounts

[bronze monolith]

Look any of you right now can go link your github account to your epic account and clone the unreal engine source and build it

And modify it however you want

and make pull requests to it if you fixed something

(if they get accepted... different question)

[desert nexus]

Exactly. Not pure open source, as it uses a different licence, but good as

[royal bane]

did you manage to work this out?

[kindred lotus]

ooh wait thats right! werent they 'made' open source when some hackers released their private builds?

[earnest wolf]

Be warned, C++ can be a pain in the ass to code.

[bronze monolith]

I have no idea about that, it has been source-available for a good while

Making games in any engine without having the source code is seriously perilous for anything serious enough

[raven bobcat]

anyone know how to confirm there mods are working?

does my mods folder need to have the "~" in its name like ~mods

[desert nexus]

Yes

[raven bobcat]

ahh i see wehre i went wrong, okay thank you!

[rain steeple]

do you guys know the folder path for ArtifactPrototypes.cfg ?

[desert nexus]

Stalker2/Content/GameLite/GameData/ItemPrototypes/ArtifactPrototypes.cfg

[bleak fern]

AK-74, green parts to black would be great

[desert nexus]

You can search all in FModel as well, but it's in that directory

[bleak fern]

if i do some retextures for things. would somone turn it to pak and upload it for me? as i shrimply cbf installing UE5 editor 🤣

[bronze monolith]

you gotta share the pain to share the gain brother

[naive widget]

Has anyone done performance testing on the longer day mods? Curious if the extended time means less shadow and shader work given it should be occuring less/slower/smoother (?)

[bleak fern]

dammnnnn 😭

[gentle night]

Anyone had issues with packaging ue5 project? It keeps packing up to 120megs, even tho I only replaced 4mb texture

[bronze monolith]

you need to make sure your content goes into a different chunk, and make sure it is actually packed (so maybe add it to the list of "always cook these folders" in project settings or whatever)

[bleak fern]

i suppose your right. but im trying to extract the models to texture. and im struggling.

[bronze monolith]

there will also be a pak with id 0 that will be ~100mb that is just bullshit shaders it spent ages compiling that you don't need

the stuff you actually care about, if you set it up correctly, will be in a separate pak file

[lucid sierra]

The game engine INI makes the game look so bad for an extra 5 fps

[devout arch]

Is there any in-depth tutorial to create mods for the game ?

[fierce storm]

Since we have UETools, is there a way to move in ghost mode with fast speed?

[gentle night]

and where do i pick to cook only chosen pak? it keeps cooking pakchunk0, even tho i assigned a different number everwhere.

[bronze monolith]

does pakchunk0 even have your stuff in it if you look at it in FModel? I am going to assume no and it's just not cooking your stuff at all because it is not actually used in any game level

that's why you need to force it by putting it as an "always cook" directory in the project settings

or there is some other checkbox to cook everything in the content folder always, allegedly

[mighty compass]

which mod should i be using now guy kinda loss with all the one coming out

[wooden pilot]

where i can get locazilation file?

[severe fulcrum]

Can we have a hud mod that is compatible with SolidShadow's Compass Removal but also removes the life and stamina bar, but the hunger/thirst/sleep icons still appear?

[frail plover]

Anyone know if we can use CustomizeControls.cfg (or other custom structs) to call a function in the game code? I want to update my mod to hide/show the compass/HUD to not have to use UE4SS scripting because UE4SS really likes to make this game crash all the time and I'm OVER IT lol

I know what functions to call, just not sure of another way outside of UE4SS to call code in the game yet. CustomizeControls.cfg looks like it is for the UE5 input system so I don't even know if I can just outright call a function from it.

[rare ruin]

i did :D

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/231?tab=description

[royal bane]

nice work! i'm still stuck at the .uassets not showing up 😦

[median quest]

If I cant unpack a certain pak ,does that mean that the author has protected it?

[kindred lotus]

holy shit people dont read

im still getting comments on what something does despite giving a very detailed explanation lol

[rare ruin]

depends on what you're trying to import

[royal bane]

im getting lost at the zentools part i think, i gotta do a step between exporting from Fmodel and trying to open in ue5

pretty damn confusing 😄

[rare ruin]

you can dm if you need, but what is the zentools part you're stuck on?

[twilit scroll]

can someone make a mod allowing holding breath with any scope or ironsights

[shadow hollow]

zzzzzzz78 A-life Tweaks link?

[mighty compass]

@shadow hollow nexus

[leaden dagger]

You basically pack everything, but make sure you have the option of Cook Everything in your project settings

[hollow dome]

anyone know how to get the AES Key?

[viscid yacht]

Via google

[hollow dome]

there are a bunch of links, but i dont know which one does work

[shadow hollow]

I can't find it

[remote tendon]

Github,reddit,google there's some help for info on what that means

[summer silo]

Out of curiosity. Why do some files need to be cooked, while others do not?

[hollow dome]

ill try again

[summer silo]

nexusmods has a cfg guide that explains how to get it

[hollow dome]

i'd appreciate if someone send me the link to a working aes key extrator, tho

[summer silo]

Its in said guide

[frail plover]

Its on GitHub

There's a reason we're not just posting the AES key here

[summer silo]

Just search nexusmods stalker 2 cfg

Simple guide to modding.

[primal crest]

Some of these mods, will they stop the random stuttering during gameplay?

[bronze monolith]

the process of finding one will make you stronger, much like the struggle against the dangers of the zone

[summer silo]

Dunno

It would be dumb to keep them there tho

[strange wadi]

Just wanted to come in and thank all of you people who are putting in the work to improve the game. No matter how small the mods, we all know that the modding community is one of the biggest reasons why this series is still being played and talked about and I, as someone without the proper knowledge on how to mod at all, am just thankful people like you exist. That's all. Wishing you a wonderful day.

[sour abyss]

is there any place to post mod suggestions? 👀

[viscid yacht]

I typed in Stalker 2 aes key. Then I right clicked new tab on the first 10 links and read.

[primal crest]

Don't think they wanted to switch to english dub

It's sad that the war came

[summer silo]

As Khan once said, you reap what you sow.

I'm not going to engage in politics. Not here for that.

[fresh yew]

Is Roadside Panic worth it guys?

[primal crest]

unrealpak: https://github.com/btwOreO/unrealpak/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Is this trustable?

[summer silo]

repak is better

It actually keeps the structure

[primal crest]

Just downloaded FModel. Do I need more than that? Like Repak?

[summer silo]

unrealpak gives you files but without a structure.
Also repak can be used to unpack game files with aes key

FModel is good to see what you are unpacking tho, lol

[primal crest]

So both Fmodel and Repak aren't needed, only one? But both is nice?

[summer silo]

Both nice

Repak is good if you just need to merge mods.

Doesn't need an aes for that

[primal crest]

With both I can just download mods and play, once I've followed through the tutorial of modding?

[azure hull]

Wanted to pop in and thank everyone who puts in the work cuz if half of the mods here didn't exist I would've refunded already, cheers boys 🙏

[midnight star]

what's the best way to load in new mods? I don't want to start a fresh game straight from the beginning every time...

[bronze monolith]

just install them and play?

[mighty compass]

i somehow cant get the no weigh for consumable to work anymore i just cant move now

[midnight star]

mods didn't seem to be taking effect on an existing save?

[bronze monolith]

almost all mods work fine on existing save, maybe you just didn't install it properly

[leaden dagger]

There are cases of precached values not updating when installing new mods

[midnight star]

hmm alright, would this also include overhaul mods ? Also, how to refresh the cache?

[frail plover]

Maybe some of your mods are overwriting each other too? Whatever mod is LAST in your folder will be used for mods that change the same files

[leaden dagger]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CxY81sPHGhZGbdZmiGNh7S2SsjD_77e7ygTLEIIbhjY/edit?tab=t.0

[young stone]

Can someone knowledgeable about mods in S2 explain to me where they're at right now?
Like what kind of mods can we expect right now, just after release?
What's possible, what's not?
What do we need mod tools from the devs for, etc.?
Thanks

[woven sable]

Potentially dumb question, do I need to remove the pak files from their respective folders into the ~mods folder, or can I leave them sorted?

ie:
Stalker\ ~mods\folder\zzz
Or
Stalker\ ~mods\zzz

[silent lake]

could this be present on the deluxe version as well? I couldn't notice Optimized tweaks doing anything and couldn't tell if i just didn't notice or what

[gentle night]

anyone had this issue with texture modding? 2D sprites work fine, but 3D textures get totally black. What are the .png attributes you should use?

[bronze monolith]

If the original texture's .uasset has "VTData" in it (I think that was what it was called) then it is using virtual texturing, you need to enable virtual texturing in your UE project and convert the texture to a virtual texture

(we need a pin for this info...)

[hollow sedge]

@polar perch What is the fix for step 14 specifically when after the package project is completed the UCAS UTOC and PAK files are too large and their associated pakchunk numbers are 0 instead of the pakchunk number that was was assigned inside of UE5.1. this is my second day of modding anything.

[gentle night]

just had the same problem, just add your files to "Additional Asset Directories to Cook" in project settings

[eternal sapphire]

The uasset I extract with ZenTools no longer have texture info, I assume this isn't supposed to happen?

[leaden dagger]

Happens regardless of version

[bronze monolith]

(this happens because the assets you made are not referenced in any level so Unreal does not think it needs to be cooked by default)

[leaden dagger]

Just enable this in the futur

[frail plover]

Very basic mods that edit numbers in files and texture/model changes or creating new textures and models to use in the game are possible.

Some basic interaction mods that use existing game logic and code (for example someone is working on a mutant loot mod in here https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1310037284954837063) are possible too.

We need mod tools from the devs to create new features and heavily modify core gameplay logic. A lot of the files we have access to now are letting us tweak things like damage and health and such but not something like adding entirely new weapons or overhauling the entire health system to be like GAMMA's for instance.

[devout arch]

did the devs say when they will release the modding tools ?

[frail plover]

Nope

Just sometime after launch

[devout arch]

Nice

[frail plover]

With how the launch has been/them liking crunching like crazy to fix stuff 24/7 right now, it will probably be a while

[devout arch]

Do you think it will have the same flexibility like the anomaly engine had ?

[frail plover]

Depends on how much access they give us in the SDK

Unreal is just as customizable as any other engine, but if they don't give us limited access to code and such, we will have to work with whatever access we have

[magic torrent]

ill be honest, the game itself is good but has many flaws like every other stalker game

[young stone]

Thank you, that pretty much confirms what my impressions were so far.
I'm really looking forward to some good NVG and bino mods.
Also new weapons obviously.

Seems like that's all far away though at the moment.

[frail plover]

The game is like the original games, which I as a GAMMA enjoyer, genuinely prefer to any of the Anomaly based mods I have played. The original games are simple, fun, and addicting to replay.

[frail plover]

If I were to make a wild uneducated speculative guess I'd say bare minimum 6 months to a year before we get mod tools

But I'd love to be proven wrong

[devout arch]

the game had a good launch, given the circumstances

[young stone]

[magic torrent]

no, we are getting them and i quate "VERY SOON" as some streamer asid

[olive mantle]

Well we don't know what they have going on there, or what level of readiness the sdk is at in general

[frail plover]

Yeah, hence the "wild uneducated speculative guess"

I have no idea lol.

Really depends on how long it takes them to patch the game up where they feel it is in an acceptable state to focus on other things

[olive mantle]

There's no point in guessing, you either have to wait or ask about the sdk in more detail

[frail plover]

I know they still want to do multiplayer (for some reason?) post launch, DLC, and mod tools

[olive mantle]

But anyway they said the sdk will be soon after release, and I don't think soon is 6 months

[frail plover]

Your guess is as good as mine

[formal bronze]

Reporting good results on #1310377824007491584

[olive mantle]

Let's pray and ask and pray again that we get answers

[olive mantle]

?

[devout arch]

how is it ? I saw people complaining in the posts

[formal bronze]

https://www.twitch.tv/klean is doing a playtest of the mod right now if you want to see, check for Flics updated version if you want to test it for yourself

[twilit scroll]

can anyone make hold breath a universal thing for sights and scopes

it only works on sniper scopes

[slow sky]

did someone make a mod so the ingame flashlight isn't so short range? I swear I saw it but im going crazy trying to find it

[hollow sedge]

@leaden dagger @gentle night it worked, never been more exited to see the death screen.

[leaden dagger]

There is one, but it resets on every reload

[vague blade]

does anybody have the cop hud on hand? i just need a reference for a mod im making

[viscid yacht]

What mod, plz ty soo tired of seeing the bludsugger

[still dew]

I’m just curious, how hard is it to mod this game compared to Clear Skies?

[viscid yacht]

Oh mah gowd

[viscid yacht]

Incredibly easy if you are comfortable with unreal, but not as rudimentary.

I cant just slap in a new .tga and be done

[still dew]

I wonder if by this time next year ya’ll will already have it as many systems and conversions as GAMMA

[viscid yacht]

I have to do the specific magic steps to slap in a .tga in a format they like.

[gentle night]

Figuring it out was a total nightmare, but my kudos to you @abstract kite. Well worth it m8, well worth it.

[fiery ivy]

Does stalker 2 have good mod making potential?

[snow ravine]

if they release sdk yeah

[naive trout]

Gah I give up. I've been poking around trying to find a way to stop mutants from hiding

[crimson laurel]

i dont think anybody has messed trying to make actual new files and scripts so, not worth to do it rn either

[quick rain]

some of the attachemnts should be more universal than they are

[crimson laurel]

i hate that theres a single silencer for each class of weapons

and no mesh for different type of the same ammo

and no weapon inspection either L

[quick rain]

im using the gabion veersion of the vss and i cant add any red dot or anything even though it has a rail

[crimson laurel]

hopefully when the actual modding comes to happen we make an actual attachment system 😏

[sand glen]

Has someone made a mod that made parkour/climbing/vaulting more inuitive and fun yet?

[crimson laurel]

vaulting yes, but its still very crude since the modder didnt try changing the animation (i believe)

[naive trout]

I did all this testing yesterday to figure out what "armordamage" is on weapons, because it only shows up for the players on shotgun ammo

I thought maybe it was some kind of armor-ignoring damage

and then I noticed all NPCs had it so I was like "oh yeah its gotta be chip damage to make sure you dont just totally mitigate damage"

Nope. It's literally "damage done to armor"

I can only assume it showing up on player weapons is a bug

or well not a bug but unintended typo

[pearl lichen]

so npc weapons have an attribute that wears down player armor?

[naive trout]

Yeah its literally "baseDamage" = damage done to HP and "armordamage" = damage done to armor

[pearl lichen]

I would have guessed that was part of the ammo, so different types of ammo did different amounts of damage to your armor

[naive trout]

I tested by changing NPC Viper-5 damage to 1 and armordamage to 500 lmao

and then changed it so enemies min-burst was 30 so they just mag dumped constantly

sure enough, instantly broke my armor, but did nothing to my HP

sadly there's no parameter for "hitfactor" in this one it seems

instead there's just dispersion and then a min/max "ignoredispersion" value

[buoyant blaze]

That would make too much sense. For one I don't think NPCs even use different ammo types, and for another, I don't think NPCs even take armor damage from the bullets you shoot at them

[naive trout]

that makes it so somewhere within a set range the enemy will ignore their weapons accuracy and hit you with a butthole seeking bullet

[hardy bloom]

anyone know of any mods that adds more music to the ingame radios, or how i can add mroe songs myself?

[naive trout]

I wish I could figure out how to remove mutants' hiding behavior

all this other interesting stuff has been easy to figure out but that one's a mystery

[buoyant blaze]

and it so meta goofy-ahh thing to do. I get that a bloodsucker or a snork would do this since they are a little bit more clever, but a dog that is BLIND somehow knows you're standing on a car it can't acces so it PERFECTLY breaks LoS? Naaaaah bro.

[naive trout]

the funniest thing is that bloodsuckers do it the LEAST

because their circling behavior seems to take up so much time lol

and they don't seem to like interrupting the circling in order to go hide

[buoyant blaze]

I think they might be ignoring it because they are invisible so technically you cant see them

[naive trout]

or well probably so the player can't abuse it by jumping on something to make the bloodsucker show itself

[buoyant blaze]

the first time dogs did this to me, my initial thought was like, "oh wow, that's cool" and then a few seconds later "Wait a minute... that doesn't make any sense"

[naive trout]

yeah at first I liked it because its a smart idea to ruin the classic cheese strat

[bleak fern]

literlary uploaded this like an hour ago. supper jelly you got the inventory icon

[naive trout]

and then I realized they always do it immediately and instantly every time

the funniest part is if there's some small cover you can jump over it and not even stand on it

and watch them stop running, turn to run away, stop again, and turn back and resume chasing

just hop back and forth over it and watch them constantly stop and spin over and over

[buoyant blaze]

I want a mod that removes the knock down animation from bloodsuckers and boars. They are super obnoxious and really immersion breaking, I find. I would much rather die to my own frantic panicked spinning than being locked out of any interaction for 3 seconds

[gentle night]

just saw it, less than half an hour actually :v

[bleak fern]

i want a mod where the cheese slice animation is replaced with like..the metro exodus one.

makes no sence having a cheese slice and getting an enjector thats bigger than the slice

[livid spire]

I have a question :P does anyone plan on adding more guns to Stalker2 :0

I feel like the current number of guns in Stalker 2 feels, out of place and not generic

[ocean cedar]

Blindside when the mod tools come out pls.

[bleak fern]

oh? feels longer.

well hey! its still awesome that you did the icon. im super new to this so its more of a test mod

my one has all the nutritional values on the back lol.

[buoyant blaze]

yeah Im sure an armory mod will come around once the SDK is out. I need my 1911

[livid spire]

SAME I NEED MY 1911 AS WELL

I mained that pistol while playing Anomaly and Gamma

and I need it back :(

[bleak fern]

i made a gif but i couldnt embed it

as im super new to this all lol

[livid spire]

Plus it'd be amazing to see more gun play in Stalker 2, and more dynamic fights instead of the enemy literally one shotting you

[bleak fern]

or laser beaming you lol

[gentle night]

Hoping for a rather quick viewmodel adjustments, because it happens by itself sometimes when dialogues bug out.

[buoyant blaze]

I like that the pistol is a separate slot, and I wish gamma had that, since i never used handguns cause wasting them for a total gun slot was too costly. However the stalker 2 issue is that they forcefeed you skifs pistol down your throat cuase its a quest item, which is cringe. Its metro exodus level forcing the pneumatic guns to prevent restarted game journalist smoothbrains from getting soft locked due to no ammo. It doesnt help that you have like 4 choices for that slot anyway

[livid spire]

someone made a mod to remove those kinda effects on those itmes

[naive trout]

That part is easy at least

[livid spire]

items*

[leaden dagger]

But gamma allows pistols in both the vision and melee slot?

[livid spire]

I would love to get rid of Skifs pistol entirely there's nothing that makes it different from other Makrovs I think thats the real guns name

[naive trout]

its free to repair

and impossible to drop

[buoyant blaze]

oh... ahahaha

I guess I never tried

[livid spire]

thats still not an advantage, the pistol is kinda, meh

[naive trout]

You don't remember the PM in ShoC then

it was hilariously awful

[leaden dagger]

It one shots to the head, is the cheapest ammo and is free to repair. It's the Oh fuck I have nothing anymore gun

[naive trout]

if nobody does a rebalance that I'm pleased with and I end up making my own you better believe I'm going to make it so the PM can't hit the broadside of a barn at point blank range

[buoyant blaze]

its a guardrail, quite obviously, and I hate it for that.

[leaden dagger]

Other than the repair cost being free, it's the same as any other pistol, heck it packs more of a punch than .45

[livid spire]

Honestly, I hope for the sound to get remade to, when someone throws a grenade there's no echoe it just sounds like its every where

[leaden dagger]

Grab the binaural audio or whatever it is, it's pretty sick

[livid spire]

Alright

honestly I feel like when the mod tools and everything for Stalker 2 gets used more, modding will start going crazy like Fallout 4

[naive trout]

Fallout 4 modding is disappointing next to Skyrim

[hardy bloom]

is there any way to add my own music tracks in game?

[naive trout]

its Bethesda's fault though. They made some annoying changes to CK

[hollow sedge]

my first mod, it hasen't been uploaded yet. @viscid yacht

[gaunt radish]

someone reliable hit me up with a proper way to insert a death screen png mod into the game and explain how to really upload it to nexus or smth. so i can upload a soyjak bloodsucker

[buoyant blaze]

I'll be happy once this game gets the gamma treatment. I've stopped looting stashes because they're just filled with beer, water, vodka and sausages. There's a lot of item bloat that is very meaningless. Really made me appreciate the gamma item economy. Everything you picked up was worth picking up, had a great purpose and you could make use of it.

[livid spire]

OMFG SAUSAGES I HAVE NIGHTMARES, 50 SAUSAGES WEIGH LIKE 20.

Its more then a god damn gun.

[hardy bloom]

feel like the economy is kinda fucked up in hoc, risking my life and equipment for an artifact taht sells for like 1 or 2 k is crazy

when it cost that much just to resupply n meds, ammo and repairs alone are 10s of thousands

[buoyant blaze]

The repair costs are insane and most of the time it's not worth risking anything. You might as well use skifs pistol just because of that. I had to mod that shit because I'm 20 hours into the game and cannot afford a single upgrade

[livid spire]

I know this game is gonna get some pretty crazy mods in the future and it's gonna pick up from there:D

[hardy bloom]

anywas, anyone know any radio mods or how i can personally change/ add song son the radios

[hardy bloom]

stalker 2 anomaly will be crazy

[livid spire]

nah Stalker 2 gamma, that's what I want

[hardy bloom]

stalker 2 EFP

[livid spire]

Anyway Imma rip the game models

[hardy bloom]

have fun

[livid spire]

I've already ripped the merc gear

[hardy bloom]

dont give them the overwatch treatment

[compact surge]

would it be possible to edit ragdolls parameters or add/import new death animations for regular stalkers from say zombie stalkers (cuz i noticed these ones have few different ones)

[livid spire]

The death animations kinda need a redo in my opinion

[frail plover]

Theoretically yes on the animations

[livid spire]

they seem, blandish

[compact surge]

they do, it's mostly one animation over and over again

the knockback one

[frail plover]

Maybe on the edit the parameters but you could replace them with other animations in theory

[livid spire]

it'd be annoying to have one animation for every death animation I remember someone doing a very realistic Ragdoll and death animation for Gmod

I loved that mod.

[compact surge]

so normally

in games death animations play based on what part of body you shoot at

in this game however it seems like it's based from which side you're shooting

there's death animation for side shooting but it's rarely playing since.... well mostly youre facing eachother

but no anims for ex. leg shot, hand shot, head shot etc

and ragdolls themselves are stiff af

[vague blade]

Is it possible to change the positions of the HUD

[fiery ivy]

are they planning on releasing an sdk for it? do u know

[livid spire]

they said they will have mod support

so, most likely yes

the game just came out tho

[vague blade]

im waiting for them to implement mod.io so console modding will be possible

[compact surge]

yeah i guess it's gonna be among first content drops after they patch the bugs and performance

and A-life

[livid spire]

once A life is fixed thats most likely when modding will sky rocket

[compact surge]

can't wait for a companions mod

[radiant valve]

For a love of god someone made a mods to disable auto reload

[naive trout]

Man A-life A-life A-life A-life I just want the game to be better balanced

[radiant valve]

Skill issues

[naive trout]

Bro the game is too easy

Yeah things kinda hurt but there's 50 medkits and 100 bandages in every asscrack and box

[radiant valve]

Just run past them

[formal bronze]

Have you checked Groks Economy & Difficulty?

[radiant valve]

I believe it made it easier

[naive trout]

Yeah of course. I have my own difficulty rebalance, too. Those don't fix all the issues

It's a multi-system problem and there are little mods tackling aspects of it but we're only on day 4 post-launch

a good and proper deep rebalance isn't viable right now until we've had time to fully experience what scenarios the game has

[radiant valve]

Isn't the veteran difficult have less loot?

[naive trout]

Only on bodies, and not by much

bodies aren't the big source of supplies anyways

[twilit scroll]

can someone please make hold breath universal for any sight or scope

[radiant valve]

Yeah... the wooden box are full of loot 😆 🤣

I think made one that just disable it

[lunar plume]

How long realistically until we start seeing mods like in gamma where you can fix and repair your own weapons. Take out/replace individual pieces ext

[livid spire]

Not very long, due to Stalker 2's engine (Unreal Engine 5) having no real limits, the mods might even take weapon modification to a whole other level

might even make it like Tarkov weapon modification style

[lunar plume]

That's awesome.... now for the question that I know may not be possible. How long until a Co op mod potentially

Going to love the game either way but co op would just be amazing as we all know

[livid spire]

Never lmao never .

that's the only limit to the game .

you want Co-op.

No, you want Multiplayer PVE.

Yes.

[lunar plume]

I have friends, I want to walk around and teach them the stalker way

Not nessisarily be able to do quests together

[azure hull]

Co op would need mission redesign no? Because the missions are meant for 1 player

[lunar plume]

^

[livid spire]

but I'm pretty sure Stalker 2 mods are gonna take Stalker to another level

just wait a few.

most likely down the road

[foggy hinge]

Has anyone experimented with reenabling PIP scopes?

[lunar plume]

But you don't think multi-player pve will happen? For example elden rings Co op mod that uses steam servers

[azure hull]

Call of Pripyat has a co op mod that works

[livid spire]

I'm even going as far as to say that Stalker 2 modding might take some fallout 4 modders

[lunar plume]

That's news to me for sure

Fallout 4 never even got workable Co op I believe

[livid spire]

No it didn't lmao

it was cancelled

[lunar plume]

I thought so

[azure hull]

I don't even want co op man just good a-life but that won't ever happen lmao

[livid spire]

eh it might cuz they are working on it

you didn't hear?, they are working on a patch

thats coming out this week I believe

[lunar plume]

That is everyone's number 1 focus right now lol

A life is priority number 1

[livid spire]

if A life doesn't work.

then stalker no work

[azure hull]

They are working on other issues not A-Life

[livid spire]

you haven't read the update plans then

A life is part of the issues

[lunar plume]

I don't have much experience to say but I did spend alot of time in gamma. Right now loot feels ehhhhh. I miss going through all the guns looking for parts to eventually make 1 good gun piece by piece

[sage trail]

🧢

[livid spire]

Once that comes to Stalker 2, its gonna be a blast

if it ever comes

[warm wing]

The patch this week will focus on bug fixing. A-life issue will be addressed in a future patch.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/4455843903878203415?l=english

[azure hull]

Yeah I know that's what I said lol

[livid spire]

Crazy how the game got a graphic downgrade

[sage trail]

future patch could mean 1 week from now or 6 months from now we dont know

[tidal yew]

made the /~mods folder but mods dont work :p

[magic shuttle]

Dk where to ask but is there a way to spawn in items like Hercules so I can activate weight mods. I don't want to start a new game for it to register the mod

[sage trail]

from the looks of it they dont even gotta fix a-life they have to create it since its not even in the game

[livid spire]

it is in the game, it's just not working lmao

[sage trail]

have you looked through the files?

[livid spire]

GSC themselves confirmed its in the game but its bugged

it works from time to time

[sage trail]

of course they did... they also had a store page that said it would be there on launch
