[scarlet holly]

CHECK OUT MY PERFORMANCE MOD

IT MAKES FPS GOOD

MUCH GOOD

GOODER THAN NO MOD

[vital coyote]

can confirm ^

[viscid socket]

Frfr?

[gaunt lotus]

Yuge, no one makes inis like these

[scarlet holly]

they come up to me and ask me

[radiant ledge]

I concur, lots of investigative weaponized autism shared among many people went into it, and qmqz was the architect

[vital coyote]

on my baby mama

[scarlet holly]

"sir, how do you get your inis so good?"

[viscid socket]

Does ir change visuals much?

[scarlet holly]

"we have the best inis folks"

"don't we?"

[scarlet holly]

not at all

[viscid socket]

Bet

[scarlet holly]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/133

[radiant ledge]

try it

[scarlet holly]

now quit asking questions fed

and download the good stuff

[gaunt lotus]

The folks from Fallout 4 aren't sending their best, we all know it

[scarlet holly]

you wouldn't... download a mod, would you?

[vital coyote]

peer pressure peer pressure peer pressure, try it be cool

[mighty compass]

@scarlet holly ur ini gave me so many extra fps now im just cranking everything with ray reconstruction and still above 100fps all time

[radiant ledge]

DOUBLE DOWN!

[scarlet holly]

they're sending ghouls, they're sending super mutants

[gaunt lotus]

They just send us skintight suits and ENB filters

[scarlet holly]

the super mutants, they're eating the dogs

[viscid socket]

When i get home ill report how it works compared to my current ini
I have high hopes my friend

[scarlet holly]

they let them in and they're eatinf the dogs and the

[radiant ledge]

you de realize we just sound insane, though?

[viscid socket]

[viscid socket]

I love it though

[scarlet holly]

if you want a super super simple addition to your current ini

[viscid socket]

I mean yesterday i said i would make a bad game engine cause I'm bad at math

[scarlet holly]

look at the "base mod"

[viscid socket]

So it checks out

[scarlet holly]

it's 5 lines that you can copy/paste into your engine.ini

[viscid socket]

Alrighty!

[gaunt lotus]

smh not Based Mod

[scarlet holly]

and make a huge improvement

[radiant ledge]

it's most of what you need, the rest is minor stuff

[scarlet holly]

pretty much

it all adds up bit by bit after the 5 lines

well i don't know if it does tbh

i get 137fps main mod, and 135fps base mod

basically no difference....

all those hours...

[gaunt lotus]

7 coding errors, fix it, 11 coding errors

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-crying-sad-cat-crying-sad-gif-21096838

wrote all those lines

[radiant ledge]

But wasn't it F U N ! ?

[scarlet holly]

when all it really would've taken was 5

i learned a lot for sure

[zinc heron]

got in the reps at least
gg

[viscid socket]

Two is a huge difference..!

Honestly who needs more than two extra fps

It's almost like, too big

[zinc heron]

its two big

[radiant ledge]

I swear dude, that lumen direct light setting is cooking

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/toxiqueney-mannequinney-quingifs-stan-twitter-take-a-pic-gif-12511659431524421369

[viscid socket]

LOL

[scarlet holly]

it looks cool af

i hope i can make something out of it

[viscid socket]

Kinda fire

[gaunt lotus]

When I rip and convert 2 dozen audio files for a mod, but people ask for only 1 of them

[scarlet holly]

this is what we're talking about

if we can figure out how to make it look good consistently and be more responsive...

[rancid tapir]

looks nice

[scarlet holly]

we'll really be cookin

[viscid socket]

OH
The fire one shows it off strongly

[gaunt lotus]

What's gamma/bright/contrast at?

[radiant ledge]

it's just...the way it looks with the world reacting to dynamic lights @_@

[scarlet holly]

default values

[elder pike]

How was Bank Shots!?

[scarlet holly]

it's a MASSIVE improvement

[radiant ledge]

Imma go test something real quick, got an idea

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/pissed-off-me-you-therock-gif-13500979

i smell it bro

[gaunt lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-let-him-cook-cook-cooking-breaking-bad-gif-27522167

Waiting for the Mosin to be added, please Monolith

Why didn't they include the best rifle?

[vital coyote]

there is no mosin?

[gaunt lotus]

Nope

You get uhhh an M700

[vital coyote]

TT-TT thats freeken lame

[gaunt lotus]

It's a high tier sniper so I'm hoping the animations are good when I finally get one

[topaz cape]

now's the perfect time to rip every single asset from tarkov and prepare it for UE5

[viscid socket]

I too, wanted a Mosin..

And night vision..

[vital coyote]

i mean most of them are already ripped, just gather all the files you need

make a repository for other modders to put the work in

[topaz cape]

why not both

[gaunt lotus]

I'm hoping someone ports the animations from Tarkov

[vital coyote]

could steel some shit from grayzone same engine

[gaunt lotus]

Why is our Stalker just yeeting mags that still have ammo, when we are in an ammo scarcity situation

[vital coyote]

wonder if i can do the key fmodle thing on that shit too

[gaunt lotus]

I'm hoping the update tomorrow is good, I really want to enjoy that game

[vital coyote]

i mean they have been talking about adding night vision and turning the sun off for a fucking year i hope its good

[scarlet holly]

hey

r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.GatherOctahedronResolutionScale=3

merry christmas

[vital coyote]

but yeah i had fun and high hopes for that game

[cloud lark]

Isn't Grayzone that jungle shooter thing that nobody plays cuz its a bad game in each and every way?

[scarlet holly]

[vital coyote]

nahh its got some good parts its ue5 tho so it runs like asshole

[cloud lark]

looks good i'd keep it like that

[gaunt lotus]

It's just mid with a lot of flaws that make it somewhat annoying to play

[topaz cape]

free dmt trip

[radiant ledge]

Oh...I was trying to solve your ghosting issue 🙂 try r.LumenScene.DirectLighting.UpdateFactor , set to 1 to update GI every frame. Can execute on runtime. With RR on my end, every frame is doable okay on a 3070

[gaunt lotus]

Definitely lower stress factor than say Tarkov

[vital coyote]

bro i thought i was a christmas tree, you turned the zone to that one neigbor everyone hates' house

[cloud lark]

mid with annoying flaw is a longer way of saying shit game

[gaunt lotus]

The full open world is very ambitious, but the helicopter system sucked

I actually had fun with it because I didn't need the wiki open to do my tasks, it was explained where I needed to be and what I needed to do

[radiant ledge]

also, jesus christ, joseph and mary - what's the default setting for screen probes?

[scarlet holly]

small problem

[gaunt lotus]

I did play PvE though, PVP is a shit show like usual

[radiant ledge]

oh, I know...unfortunately I've seen it XD

[scarlet holly]

i'm sure we'll figure it out

[radiant ledge]

we just need access to blueprints, if we excluded flashlight emitter from GI calculations, I bet it'd stop doing this...

[scarlet holly]

yeah i was thinking the same thing

i swear, it'd look so good

even the npcs don't have flashlights this bad

[viscid socket]

Oh god
I would rather irons and nvg goggles
Especially if yall manage to do it as realistically as in gamma (fucky fov, i mean)

[radiant ledge]

I DON'T WANT TO INSTALL UE5.1 AND UNPACK THE WHOLE GAME!!!! I'M NOT INSANE!

oh who am I kidding

I am

[spring idol]

doesnt take long

[white sentinel]

Crazy

[radiant ledge]

no space

[scarlet holly]

im bussin

[viscid socket]

Gorgeous trip

[spring idol]

also you can just exclude the mesh and sound folders

so it takes up a whopping like 1gb

[radiant ledge]

fair enough

[rustic granite]

for the love of me i can't find out what's wrong with my reflections after trying multiple variables and sitting here just looking depressed

[viscid socket]

Wait meshes and sounds are 149 gb?

Lol

[scarlet holly]

and textures, more than likely

[viscid socket]

Oh yeah those too

[radiant ledge]

bet

[scarlet holly]

idk how much room bp take up or scripts, but they shouldn't be anywhere near a gig

[scarlet holly]

(probably™️)

[spring idol]

dont midn the directories

im just reusing what i had on my pc already

lmao

[scarlet holly]

still struggling with that? lol

[radiant ledge]

I saw someone post something about BP loading and editing on nexus...and, well, flashlight mod uses a custom BP, so I guess we can actually load BPs already

oh, and that mutant parts mod, no?

[rustic granite]

yes sir

[spring idol]

yeah we can load bp's

but no one has bothered to use the cxx header dump to make stub bps for existing in game blueprints

so we cant manipulate existing in game blueprints yet

[rustic granite]

but i'm gonna leave it, idk why i'm even trying still. just wanna try fix the distance blur and grainy/shimmering shit now. cuz that link you sent me tanked fps by 20, so fuck that

[vital coyote]

i thought i read somewhere that the mod tools were going to be out day one? im i misremembering or did that just wind up not happing?

[rustic granite]

if anyone else have any fixes for dlss distance blur/grainy texture. send my way

[tidal yew]

Hey guys! I am not familiar with moding, but I know a lot of you are and I have an idea. When you want to scroll in the inventory of your stash or at a vendor for example, its quite annoying that the "scroll bar" that you click on in order to scroll down or up is so thin. I have a mouse wheel lock on my mouse which allows me to scroll insanely fast on my logitech hero mouse, but in this game when i want to scroll with this speed in the inventory it doesnt work. So the solution would be to make the scroll bar thicker so its easier to being able to click and drag or/and make the mod also drag the corners so we can make the inventory window wider/longer. Do you know if any mod like this is already done or is anyone willing to make that? I am not sure if im in the correct chat 😄 Thanks guys!

[topaz cape]

definitely misremembering

[rustic granite]

and also the white bush shit, you know what i'm talking about qmqz

[fringe iris]

me fighting a chimaera with an automated emission every save

😭

[vital coyote]

ahh word

[tidal yew]

had this around Zatov. I just simply ran away through the swamps and annomalies after being killed about 10x and fortunately there was a cave to hide in 😄

[tidal yew]

i had to drop most of my loot tho, because of an 16kg mission item 😄

[rustic granite]

anyone wanna join the disco ?

don't worry i know what i fucked with.

[cloud lark]

NICE!

[rustic granite]

looks funny as fuck

[rustic granite]

Lol, seems like we had the same issue

[warped estuary]

Anyone able to unpack models from game? Interested in model of woman vendor at Bazar for cosplay

[rustic granite]

Yours just green, we could really be making a disco. Just need blue

[spring idol]

sure

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-frog-gif-27158965

[cloud lark]

"cosplay" Most endorsed files of all-time (adult-only)

yeah right buddy

[cloud lark]

yes i can read thank you

[vital coyote]

i cant

[bitter sluice]

HES DOING IT

[warped estuary]

Ye?

[cloud lark]

First nude mod incoming

[vital coyote]

the coomers are fast

[warped estuary]

No. I think you have a very low opinion of me 🙂

[cloud lark]

do you under stand the concept of jovial remarks?

aka jokes

[vital coyote]

jokes are a myth created by big mono

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/sensible-chuckle-laugh-laughing-lol-chuckle-gif-4900071

[cloud lark]

please its big mono ™️

[vital coyote]

big mono said get in line and lick the rocks

[livid grotto]

Hey, i need a Little advice, not sure if my mods are conflicting, cause i dont see them Workig

[scarlet holly]

brother

[vital coyote]

i havnt tried it yet but there is a tool out there to check

[scarlet holly]

how is anyone going to answer this for you lol

[topaz cape]

wrong directory

[scarlet holly]

pretty sure grok made it, might be in recommendations

Stalker2\Content\Paks~mods

[topaz cape]

throw them here instead \Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods @livid grotto

[vital coyote]

ahh word, my mods are super light not many changes at all so haven't gotten arround to checking it out.

[livid grotto]

Right, sorry at first try I did it link this

Big thanks for noticing

God bessy modding community

Bless

[vital coyote]

you know the wierd thing is in the first day the /mods folder worked just fine for me without the ~

i use the ~ now but it worked

[topaz cape]

pretty sure the ~ doesn't actually matter and UE just checks everything recursively after \Content\Paks

[vital coyote]

yeah, i mean the ~ is nice because its at the top lol

[warped estuary]

Too complicated for me

[vital coyote]

good, now eat the tushcan and lick the rocks

[radiant ledge]

hey dudes and dudettes, anyone willing to share knowledge about AES keys? 🙂

[steel musk]

Get decryptor, drop your Stalker2.exe onto it, get key. Put it on FModel or app of choice. That's about all I know

[warped estuary]

AESDumpster and DRM-Free .exe works for me

[radiant ledge]

okay

[modern umbra]

Need a mod that allows us to grab more than one quest, or at least grab a quest after completing another, from traders.

[vital coyote]

i got you

[radiant ledge]

roger-roger

[radiant ledge]

dm?

[vital coyote]

yee lemme dig it up

[steel musk]

Decreasing the wait timer to 1 in-game day would be amazing

[modern umbra]

That, and allow us to grab at least 2 quests. I would love that.

[steel musk]

Also a mod to tell you what artifact the trader is looking for before actually accepting the damn quest

[modern umbra]

This, omg this

[cloud lark]

i thik that is randomly decided when you click the option so thats kinda hard to do

[modern umbra]

Hey, those of you using "A-Life Extended", there is an update out now:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/273?tab=files

[steel musk]

Yeah, considered that, but it'd be a hell of a QoL if possible

Considering how restrictive the whole repeatable quests are

[stiff canyon]

i dont understand why they made the "ui" so...... 1990 underwhelming and not telling me* shit at all. I find a weapon with a cogwheel knowing SOMETHING is modded. I clearly see there is a foregrip and a colimator ontop BUT im not able to inspect the weapon at all. Rightclicking is fuck all useless

[modern umbra]

It'll get a mod, trust me. There are Tarkov nuts out there that will mod the Tarkov UI and add arms, legs, torso, and head stats.

I want this mod back.

[steel musk]

The UI is very console-centric

I also don't understand why your stash is cut in half compared to your inventory height

[modern umbra]

I don't either, or why we cannot sort it

[steel musk]

Or why there's no sorting option for weapons, ammo, consumables, etc

[modern umbra]

Beat ya to it lol

[steel musk]

Yeah, it's just weird. Devs probably needed a few more months to a year

[modern umbra]

nah, more like 3. They already need another month to add deadzones to controllers.

WHICH I HAVE FIXED BTW! All I had to do was add a dead zone of 0.20 and BAM! Perfect.

[steel musk]

It'd probably have been fine if it was PC only, but I assume all the console certification and all that also slowed them down considerably

I believe the devs are just taking a small break. They were probably crunching HARD before release

[modern umbra]

Honestly, they just need weekends off. No breaks. They agreed to release a half-baked product so now they should work their normal 9-5 to finish baking the goods.

[sand parrot]

Hopefully native dualsense support is added

[modern umbra]

At least get the big fixes done and release the SDK, then sit back and watch us do our work.

[topaz cape]

which is exactly what they're doing, the steamdepot gets updated all the time.

[spring idol]

i going back to playing shoc with autumn aurora 2 just to feel the og again

[modern umbra]

Probably not since it is now a Microsoft exclusive title.

[steel musk]

Recovering lost sleep takes way longer than just a weekend, but yeah, it does feel bad when modders can do it simpler/faster

[sand parrot]

Ima die

[modern umbra]

Get DS4 Windows.

[spring idol]

we still waiting for that patch

literally huffing copium so hard rn

s2 was the only thing keeping me from necking and its such a dissapointment

[sand parrot]

I have DSX on steam, same thing just fancier UI

[spring idol]

xd

[modern umbra]

Here is the link: https://ds4-windows.com/

[modern umbra]

Oooohhhhh I had no idea that was a thing

[steel musk]

I bet there's some contractual clause where they need to patch both PC and consoles at the same time, and console patch validation takes $$$, so they're waiting to release a single patch

[sand parrot]

It’s fairly new

[modern umbra]

I wonder if its same creator

[sand parrot]

Paliverse or something is the creator

[modern umbra]

Question: Who the fuck came up with the mod name "Ray-Traced Audio"?

Good mod but that name... XD

[sand parrot]

Isn’t that just 8d audio and reverb?

[modern umbra]

Its the one by TheHybred

[sand parrot]

May have to check it, audio is a bit underwhelming, need some more environmental noises

[modern umbra]

I agree to an extent. My gripe is the audio cutting out

Oh, and you might like this: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/167

[sand parrot]

That one is different, had a similar one but it bugged out interact button. Ppreciate you

[steel musk]

Just to be sure, all I need to use the Nvidia Ray Reconstructing are these 2 lines, or only 1?

r.Lumen.Reflections.DownsampleFactor=1.0```

[compact furnace]

Playing the game with a mod that increases the distance NPCs stay spawned in really showed some audio issues with distant gunfire and explosion sounds. One moment they sound 200m away but then all the sudden I hear the explosion and it sounds like it's right next to me. Do you guys think this is another reason for the NPC online distance?

[vital coyote]

dose chinging "r.Lumen.Reflections.DownsampleFactor=1.0" better then the 1.99 that wason the nexus?

[modern umbra]

I believe this is just a STALKER 2 bug as I experienced this earlier in Zalissya

[topaz cape]

nah, i have this with radio sometimes, as in, when somebody speaks through a walkie talkie to you from god knows where and then the filter is gone and it sounds like they're right next to you

[modern umbra]

I forgot this happens too. Thank you.

[compact furnace]

Also Radios in Cordon play through the ground, like the ones in Sids bunker and the other underground room, so strange

I guess the games audio is messed up overall

[topaz cape]

I guess the games audio is messed up overall

fixed it for you

[compact furnace]

Really makes me wonder why it went "Gold" so soon

[sand parrot]

This always confuses me, I always check to see if I walked past them

[compact furnace]

Thank you lmao

[warped estuary]

How to extract model from .uasset? Find "SkeletalMeshes" dir, but any asset from it will not trigger the 3D viewer. Addons for Blender do not open any meshes either

[compact furnace]

I kinda thought the game puts a filter over voice acting and then the filter goes away for whatever reason

[topaz cape]

contractual deadlines, finances, holiday sales, pick your poison.

[compact furnace]

Me very sad

[steel musk]

They can still recover a lot of favor depending on how fast and how good their patches are

But releasing it in EA would've been the more honest approach, even if it was at v0.9 instead of the v1.0 we got

[compact furnace]

Stealth is so broken as well, I was doing the mission where you can choose to assault a bandit base or sneak in and talk to the main dude, the second I stopped talking the the warden guy in their base, the bandits screamed around saying they spotted me lol

[compact furnace]

Yeah, they could've been honest at least, but Microsoft would've never allowed that most likely

[steel musk]

The backlash would've been substantial too, but it is what it is. If they can mostly fix the issues and then take 2025 to polish it, we're in the green

[compact furnace]

I just hope they can actually enable the A-Life as we know it, but from what I've read so far the performance impact is way too big?

[idle sun]

i just want A-life tbh i can deal with everything else i just want to feel like the zone is alive

[steel musk]

But GSC is kinda racing against modders, like it or not. If modders fix it first and better, GSC will take a reputation hit, considering how mod-friendly the Stalker community is

[steel musk]

Yeah, it's CPU heavy as hell. Considering how the game already runs, probably not viable atm, also due to UE 5.1

[compact furnace]

Doubt we'll see an engine upgrade

[steel musk]

Hopefully they'll get the chance to port over their changes to UE 5.5 or whatever is newer with the fixes

[sand parrot]

Please

[steel musk]

Yeah, doubtful but we can hope

[compact furnace]

The Pseudo dogs also infuriate me to the limit. They spawn 10 copies every second and I can't for the life of me see which one is real

[steel musk]

They're badly balanced for sure

[sand parrot]

Yea, spawning is a bit too quick

[steel musk]

They shouldn't spawn that many at once. OG ones were fine because they spawned 1 at a time

[compact furnace]

I shoot 2 and then there's 5 in my face right away

[steel musk]

So if you took your time you'd be screwed, but now it's just "lolno I'll tank that shotgun to the face, spawn 10 copies and teleport amongst them"

[compact furnace]

Also hate blood sucker roar stun, not even sure if that is new or from the original

[devout shadow]

I think staker2-chat needs to either be cleared of newbies or shut down; on a side note, yes, Psy-Dogs are completely unbalanced and unfun.

[vital coyote]

why? shouldnt new people have a place to reach out and comunicate?

[modern umbra]

They spawn 2-3 too many

[steel musk]

Ok, RR done, Engine cleaned up, time to give it a quick whirl

[vital coyote]

its beutifull

[devout shadow]

If there was a larger delay before they spawned the next wave of copies, that would help compensate for the overwhelming number

[summer silo]

They are actively working on the next update actually

[sand parrot]

I’m dying here, is it possible to add the Mosin?

[summer silo]

Release candidate seems to update pretty much on the daily

[steel musk]

Not to say they aren't, just not on crunching-level, I'd wager. Which I can perfectly understand

People wanted that patch Monday

[summer silo]

JuiceHead was out there saying it would be on fucking Sunday

[stiff canyon]

Im okay with "more action orientated" ui and mechanics. Its just the game feels like 14 years old with new graphics and SOME albeit not good implemented Modding community features. But im to exhausted from trying to fixing the fucking game wich keeps crashing on me every 40-50 seconds in ctc malachite to keep going 🙂 edit: And sadly A-Life not working as intended is a bummer till they fix it. "A-Life" mod's arent worth it with the foundaition not working as intended

[summer silo]

"Sunday is the first day of the week"
Nuh uh

I don't get America.
Sunday is the first day of the week. People work on it like its a normal thing to do.
Imma just stay in Poland smh

[devout shadow]

I'm just going to lurk here while you have constructive discussions about the game's mechanics; maybe I'll learn something, figure out how to stop my game from crashing if I stay in or around town for more than 3 minutes.

[steel musk]

I'll do it tomorrow.
00:01 am: Are you done?

[worldly wind]

anyone here have a link to the mod that made it so energy drinks are half as effective but last twice as long

[stiff canyon]

same here since i arrived in malachite. Trying to find solutions since close to 5 hours 🙂

[vital coyote]

ive learned alot just reading shit, i keep a little notepad open to write stuff down lol

[steel musk]

yerts was dropping some knowledge bombs and it was my time to sleep. Had to check back to see if I missed anything

[stiff canyon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/49

[dim turret]

What’s the best mod organizer for s2?

[devout shadow]

Yourself atm

[vital coyote]

ive been just manualy installing lol but pple seam to use vortex for some reason

[steel musk]

There's an "automated" conflict resolver for mods, but no organizer yet

[sand parrot]

I would use vortex but doesn’t work for me

[steel musk]

That I know of, at least

[foggy hinge]

Mod Organizer 2

[vital coyote]

i havent even tried lol, shouldnt be to hard to get mo2 working lol

[sick pebble]

Burnt an entire day trying to get textures to load on the HUD with blueprint modding

[worldly wind]

wasnt there a mod that was only the energy drink change? this is a straight up buff and not a 2x-0.5x tradeoff like the mod im thinking of

[sick pebble]

I give up

[dim turret]

Sayless

[foggy hinge]

https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer-basic_games/pull/167/commits/0ce0d2f636050f7280c60875a13ece0c1502323a

[vital coyote]

ohh shit, do you have a fo4 modpack?

[foggy hinge]

I have many modlists LUL

[vital coyote]

bro love your stuff haha

[foggy hinge]

❤️

[vital coyote]

also ty ty for the link

[foggy hinge]

NP, it should be pretty easy to install

[desert valve]

there are multiple scripts to check for conflicts, one here and one on nexus as well as an automatic solution for resolving conflicts available in here and on nexus

[vital coyote]

cant live without mo2

i spend more time in it then the fucking games im modding lmao

[stiff canyon]

must've misread sorry thought you meant that one 😄

[dim turret]

Imma try this out Ty💪

[cloud lark]

let me into purgatory

it sounds fun

[summer silo]

You get into purgatory but pay for it with your framerates

You get to keep.. 4 frames

[foggy hinge]

Looks like they're getting ready to drop an update tomorrow or today

[summer silo]

Also there are six overpowered bloodsuckers around your save area. Good luck.

[cloud lark]

I'll just pop viagra and enjoy my time

[steel musk]

They'll alternate their roars, so you're permanently in shitty bullet time

[summer silo]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-what-what-i-just-read-gif-20766315

[stiff canyon]

why are there even so many bloodsuckers ingame? Its the most common enemy now besides idiot stalkers

[sand parrot]

I keep getting jumped by multiple

[steel musk]

Game needed more mutant varieties to pad out the repertoire and provide a smoother difficulty curve

Bloodsuckers are getting overused

[desert valve]

yeah, especially during daytime

[steel musk]

The first one should've been wounded and easier, so you get a taste and a scare

[cloud lark]

How much blood would a Bloodsucker suck if a Bloodsucker could suck blood?

[desert valve]

they can though

[vital coyote]

ask freedom

[cloud lark]

yeah but they never

[desert valve]

they are a very shy, thats why they only suck in the dark

[steel musk]

CoP did portray that Bloodsuckers slept during the day and were more active during the night

Then again, fleshes can headcrab jump at you now, so...

[vital coyote]

the fuck you mean?? ive been sitting here entering in comands and shit just minding my own busness getting suckerpuched by these fuckers every 3.4 minuts. shits like and irradeated compton

[cloud lark]

they fly now

[wanton cape]

Has the mod for quickly throwing grenades on G not been released yet?

[desert valve]

but do they suck though, or just bash your head in 😉

[vital coyote]

actualy you have a point

i conceed

[steel musk]

They removed the suck and added the double hammer fist ko attack

[summer silo]

This tbh.
Bloodsucker in intro was a bad move. Should have have the guy mauled by like, a pack of boars that scatter after the act so you can just get into the bunker and right out.
Showcases that the zone is dangerous well enough.

Keep low danger mutants in southern areas where it makes sense then ramp up the difficulty by making more dangerous mutants mroe common when going into later game areas.

[desert valve]

yeah, why are snorks so underused? they used to be everywhere

havent seen one in days now

[lavish summit]

where do you get the falcon 8x scope cant find that anywhere on the internet other than one site saying it exists

[desert valve]

AFAIK that one comes with the unique gun

[summer silo]

Were they everywhere?
They seem to have been introduced in like, X-18, become more common in Yantar and become an issue past 100 Rads Bar

[lavish summit]

oh is it a deluxe edition thing

[vital coyote]

totaly agre, pluss most people die and respawn a bunch right there to it so it makes it frustrating 1, and 2 more anoying then scarry. like in horror movie logic, the more you see of the monster the more desensitized to it you are

[desert valve]

no, you should get in naturally at one point in time

cant be more specific without touching spoiler territory

[modern umbra]

A loot respawn after x amount of days mod would be great too. Like, I am going to play the story once then survive on another save.

[sleek dome]

Guys anybody knows what mod made my anomalies move? I think this one should be in the gate.

[cloud lark]

honestly lesser anomalies should move spawn or despawn post each emission. I kinda hate how static they are.

[sleek dome]

I agree but this one is supposed to prevent you from going there without throwing a bolt at it, which sucks because I just came through no effort. It also breaks other anomalies they just move couple meters.

[sand parrot]

Is it possible to reduce the amount of entities?

[modern umbra]

What do you mean by "entites"?

[sand parrot]

Any and all beings, people and creatures

[modern umbra]

Bruh, the game is already "dead".

A-Life 2.0 is not active and probably wont be for months (insert sad and mad face)

[sand parrot]

Not for me, it’s constant mayhem and armies fighting each other

[modern umbra]

Huh

How?

[acoustic obsidian]

Vanilla?

[modern umbra]

Are you talking about Stalker 2?

[sand parrot]

Yes, vanilla stalker 2

[desert valve]

lies! 😉

[modern umbra]

Yeah, I have to call bull on this one.

[topaz cape]

style got the one functioning copy of stalker 2

[sand parrot]

I was with a 6 man squad and we took out several other groups

[cloud lark]

the only army i have seen was a army of rats trying to eat me in the lesser zone

[compact furnace]

Probably talking about the fast respawns in some bugged areas, I also got a bunch of those but it was always just the game spawning more and more

[compact furnace]

Funny part about this one is that those rats will spawn every time you exit and enter that place haha

[modern umbra]

I'm fucking jealous

[sand parrot]

Believe me or not, either way I don’t like. It’s too much. I like peace

[compact furnace]

I dislike that quest NPCs can't die in this game 😦

[modern umbra]

You sure you didn't mod your game or something? Like "Roadside Panic" with the really hard one?

[desert valve]

do you have any of the "fix alive"-mods installed?

[sand parrot]

I’m positive🤝

[steel musk]

The rat army in Wild Territorry is also whack. 2 spawn near the Merc building and cause mayhem

[vital coyote]

hey since we are all diving into ue5 atm, anyone know what version of ue5 grayzone warfare is on? i have ideas

[sturdy herald]

bro the second i finish my description on nexusmods it goes down for maintenance

[compact furnace]

Not even sure where they were going with those, it's absolutely ridiculous to shoot them, so I threw grenades at my feet and jumped away lol then I go back to loot the stash and all the sudden they Re spawn

[steel musk]

Yeah, they respawn way too fast, should at least take a day

[compact furnace]

I feel like those encounters shouldn't respawn at all, but it seems that the trigger to spawn them is set to something that goes off every time you enter the room instead of triggering and then ending

[sand parrot]

The AI in this game are so dumb yet so smart

[cloud lark]

Your intrusion into the Rattenreich will not be tolerated!

[modern umbra]

No idea but that game made me mad with the spongey enemies, the magic chest head shots, and my look being under the ground when going back to my body.

[dim turret]

I’m pretty sure it’s UE 4 idk tho

[topaz cape]

no no, that was another pack. the skaven horde is upon us

[dim turret]

Nah it’s 5 rip

[worldly wind]

anyone know if theres a way to add weapon attachments via console? my Shah's Mate just lost its laser and sight mount

[vital coyote]

i agree needs work, had some fun buuuuuut figured since its the same engion and i now have the tools to fiddle arround ill try a port or something

[vital coyote]

nahh man game runs like dog shit its totaly ue5

x)

[compact furnace]

I see a video where the rats from underground all the sudden followed a guy into Zalyssia and started killing NPCs lol

I guess the Zone has a plague Problem

[cloud lark]

honestly if skaven suddenly dug into the zone and people went missing it would not even break lore. Skaven are just too curious for their health

[vital coyote]

key thing works

[cloud lark]

also Moss Artefact looks a lot like Wyrdstone

[topaz cape]

the monolith in the cnpp is actually just a huge warpstone

[cloud lark]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-flayers-warhammer-total-war-skaven-drive-safely-total-war-warhammer-gif-17177849

every skaven right now

[summer silo]

what's this for?

Oh wait, I see

Nvm

[umbral linden]

Can't wait for S.t.a.l.k.e.r 2: Skaven Tide

[foggy hinge]

My modlist looks like my mods are about to fall asleep

[vital coyote]

hahah xD

[royal heath]

Lol

[topaz cape]

imagine vermintide but with snorks instead

top spooky

[umbral linden]

It's Snorkin season

[vital coyote]

whats the key you have to press for UE4SS to make the file for fmodel agian i totally forget

[umbral linden]

Snorks kinda look like blowfly zombies

[sick pebble]

FINALLY got textures loading on the hud using BP modding

[umbral linden]

"0x33A604DF49A07FFD4A4C919962161F5C35A134D37EFA98DB37A34F6450D7D386"

Now to make a mask overlay mod

[sturdy herald]

https://tenor.com/view/frodo-keep-your-secrets-alright-then-lotr-gif-12907121

[vital coyote]

ohh not the aes key but thank you i meant the the button to generate the usmap file but i got it

can you have multipal profiles for fmodel? ide like to use it for another game but keep it set up for s2

[umbral linden]

Anyone seen the really tiny hamster looking creature? I saw one near the Poppy fields I tried to attack it and it glitched into ground and disappeared.

[kindred lotus]

Tiny tiny or the jumping one?

[vital coyote]

haha nahh not yet that sounds fun tho, gotta make my way back there ima hunt for hamsters lol

[kindred lotus]

Cause there are some rats that are part of the environment, and they do disappear

[worldly wind]

i saw frogs with similar behavior

[sand parrot]

Wtf is this game 🤣🤣

[umbral linden]

It may of been a rat, at first I thought it was a turtle lol.

[vital coyote]

hahah i mean someone already made a hello kitty reskin x) maybe ill dress for the occasion go to the flower field to hunt hamsters' with my hello kitty mp9

[stoic schooner]

What would be causing me to be unable to open some mod .utoc files in Fmodel? Some work and some don't.

[umbral linden]

We need grenade reskin and rename to hamsters and have them drop 1 on loot/interact/death

[sand parrot]

Imagine lobbing explosive hamsters

[vital coyote]

lol just a fucking rat in your hand and change the explosion sound to a squeek

[topaz cape]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/656055509790752778/1218850387013013554/RatExplosive.gif

[vital coyote]

change out the vfx to to be the blood mist that happens when a mutie gets stuck in a vortex

i wish my brain had the wrinkles to make that happen

[sand parrot]

I feel that

[north wasp]

Nexus shitting the bed as soon as i need to use it

[sturdy herald]

yeah i just checked in their server. maintenance is finished but they still working on issues

"ill just upload this quick right before bed" (me 1hr ago)

[vital coyote]

lol what you got cooken sun? 🙂 ive been checking nexus like im checking social media lmao

ayyy it worked

[modern umbra]

I hope we get a mod where we can join any faction. Warfare would be the TITS

[vital coyote]

hell yeah

[modern umbra]

I want a power struggle >:)

I WANT TO LEAD WARD

[balmy geode]

Any mods for showing the duration of stims/meds yet ?

That one would be super handy

[modern umbra]

Not yet. I think the only true in-depth mod that we have at this current moment is the Mutant Parts mod.

[craggy pelican]

can u please tell me, which modloader this is, u using? link? thanks^^

[balmy geode]

doesn't look like a modloader

[topaz cape]

that's windows explorer

[balmy geode]

just looks like explorer

explorer best modloader

[vital coyote]

you dont realy need a modloader rn but rage did share a link to get mo2 to work with s2

not too sure how

havent looked into where or how im suposed to use the script looken thing he made

[sand parrot]

What’re your plans with GZW stuff?

[modern umbra]

Yeah, mod loaders right now are not needed as the mods now are just config files that do very little changes to the game.

I have a ton of mods installed right now and no issues at all. Just shoved them in the mods folder.

[vital coyote]

not sure yet, no clue what the fuck im doing . but i figured why not try a simple port to learn. grand scheem of things and idk if it would be possible at all but the body helth system in grayzone is pretty fucking cool

[sand parrot]

Yea, that game does many things great. Hope to see some of them posted

[modern umbra]

Rip it and put it in STALKER. You wont

[vital coyote]

pluss they wont shut up about their new nvgs, been like a year

stalker has no nvg sooo

[sand parrot]

Definitely need to rip that, recently heard about those myself

[foggy hinge]

#╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

It's Mod Organizer 2

Not file explorer

[vital coyote]

yeah like i said rn im just clicking buttons and smaking my head agenst stuff like a monky with a keybord. still need to learn how to even mess with ue files

[sand parrot]

I just deleted MO2 as well, I’ll just wait

[vital coyote]

ohh btw man how do you use that little script thing didnt want to bug ya b4

[foggy hinge]

For MO2?

[vital coyote]

yeah the thing you shared earlier

[foggy hinge]

So, download the 7zip file itself, https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/releases/download/v2.5.2/Mod.Organizer-2.5.2.7z, and extract it somewhere.

[vital coyote]

saved it for laiter but wasnt sure what i was looken at

[foggy hinge]

Download that .py file I shared and place it in \modorganizer2\plugins\basic_games\games

[vital coyote]

ahh cool cool ty ty

this man is a goat ^ go play his mod packs

[foggy hinge]

Appreciate the kudos, really does mean a lot

[vital coyote]

hehe i am no big shot like you and besides my friends in my discord server i never publish anything i make but i know how much work and passion it takes to get hundreds of mods to work in one cohesive package. takes alot ❤️

[foggy hinge]

For sure, it absolutely does.

[smoky stirrup]

really need WWise? ive never worked with .wem or WWise. wwise seems incredibly intrusive and annoying and dodgy(at least from Audiokinedic). i found this link when looking for alternatives. havent even opened it yet. are there other apps to convert back to .wem after altering the audio? https://github.com/EtiTheSpirit/WEMConverter/releases

[vital coyote]

whats the best way to look at \ open \ do anything uasset files?

https://tenor.com/view/do-something-comeon-stickman-bored-gif-22722853

lmao

[fiery crag]

Well, why are we waiting for a pack of weapons, BHS with EFT medic, and then character creation and group selection, now a little more and furniture for shelter and placeable fires will appear

[warped estuary]

How to set correct textures for model exported from .uasset? In the viewport of FModel it's showing somehow wrong texture. I exported correct textures and model to merge them in Blender, but they are still completely broken. Is it a problem with FModel or am I doing something wrong?

[vital coyote]

if you find out lmk im curently trying myself

[vestal rain]

what happened to modpack ?

[warped estuary]

Some of models shows totally fine like this bandit skin or some vendors skins, some just broken like Duty one

[neat thistle]

Can someone, please, provide working guide how to import new icon to the game? (not replacement)

[frozen skiff]

for S2 u need vorbis quality preset in wwise

[vestal rain]

what happened to AR mod pack :(?

[mild plover]

Not a mod questio but does anyone know a good way to view the armor models for art references

[topaz cape]

fmodel

[vital coyote]

yeah while digging through the files you can doubble click some and it opens a viewer like this

[mild plover]

Got a link for it please

[topaz cape]

#╟⚒stalker2™-mod-resources

[mild plover]

Thanks

[fiery crag]

I completely forgot about a dozen knives and definitely 7 backpacks😆

[tacit yoke]

alright so can someone explain this please?

Get the AES key (google the tutorials, not sure it's legal).
Get the usmap file (google the tutorials, not sure it's legal).

[vital coyote]

sooo the aes key i can send you

[tacit yoke]

that will be great

[vital coyote]

the usmap file you will need a program you put it in your game folder run the game then pres ctrl kp6

it will make a file you can use with fmodle to asses all the files in the game

ill shoot ya a dm in a bit

[tidal yew]

haii so alot of the modding seems to be just editing values atm, is it possible to create a mod that reworks the weapon system in a way that instead of bullet based its magazine based (every gun has its own mags that need to be manually filled with ammo etc) :o, or is that currently not possible

[vital coyote]

that will be fairly complicated and will take a while

but you bet your ass someone is going to do it

[tidal yew]

pawsome yeah, i can imagine the amount of models and animations etc

[topaz cape]

not happening without the toolkit

[vital coyote]

^

[tidal yew]

whats that!

[sand parrot]

I will endlessly fill mags and watch the sunset

[vital coyote]

im hoping by the time i learn all this shit it will be out

[sand vault]

Anyone know how to get door UIDs ingame?

ha ok

[topaz cape]

we're limited to editing values in configs at the moment, no access to the underlying logic. the mod toolkit which will be released at some point™️ gets us deeper access

[compact furnace]

You think that even happens before all the DLC is out?

[tidal yew]

ah cool

some point means no eta?

[topaz cape]

who knows. i hope it's sooner than later and that we don't have another witcher3 modkit situation on our hands where it took NINE FUCKING YEARS MAN WHAT THE FUCK

hadfnGOIBDSFGoikdbfg

[compact furnace]

I'm afraid that's how it's gonna be haha

I'm really hoping soon ish though

[white sentinel]

Roadmap in december guys, wait for the roadmap

[compact furnace]

Roadmap: Fix bugs, fix bugs, performance, A-Life, fix bugs we've introduced while fixing bugs 🥲 just jk, probably gonna be aight

[digital gulch]

you forgot season pass / dlcs / extra dlcs

[warped estuary]

Yes. Looks like some models are opening FModel incorrectly and textures (or materials) are just broken for some reason. I guess we need to wait for proper tools for modding.

[vital coyote]

here we go learnen sheet hopfuly it runs better then the game

[sand vault]

Is there a way to get door UIDs yet?

To unlock them?

[topaz cape]

your first project is to port the entirety of stalker to 5.5

good luck soldier

[vital coyote]

[compact furnace]

I wonder how GSC is going to respond to these changes

[vital coyote]

btw through trial and error it looks like grayzone is ue 5.3 they dont list it anywhere incase anyone else wants to try a port

[compact furnace]

If he can do it, GSC should easily be able to🤣

[raw arrow]

omg bro's cooking

[vestal rain]

Major ball drop imo. A request to credit modders could have been made. Some new modder breaks out and merges a few early mods together to help the community and all of a sudden they are banned instantly. I can put my bottom Koupon on it a big admin or mod author on here is about to release their first modpack no doubt.....................Such a childish way to handle someone just trying to help community. So poorly handled

[merry mountain]

can you maybe finally shut up about that

Stalker 2 Local Splitscreen Multiplayer when

[vestal rain]

Online would have been nicer, co-op i mean

[desert valve]

the hardware for that has not yet been crafted

[merry mountain]

Just install some additional 4090s 😄

[vital coyote]

game would shit itself so hard a black hole would be created at the centerpoint of your cpu

creating the zone irl

[vestal rain]

One is enough

[vital coyote]

then we all in the game

[desert valve]

one is barely enough as it is

[vestal rain]

The game runs at 150fps solid for me at 1440p

[sand vault]

Anyone know if "RawMouseInputEnabled" is supposed to be, because I've seen both.

RawMouseInputEnabled=Enabled
OR
RawMouseInputEnabled=True

[desert valve]

maybe the 5090 will do it 😉

[merry mountain]

they are already overheating iin datacenter

*the datacenter equivalents

[sand vault]

lol

[vital coyote]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
RawMouseInputEnabled=1```

thats what i have

[sand vault]

Yeah, I've seen that too lmao

Wth

[merry mountain]

RawMouseInputEnabled=Yes

[desert valve]

lol

[sand vault]

RawMouseInputEnabled=Da

"r.pleasWork= better"

Write it down.Take the a life extended mod from nexus.Extend it for the whole map.Sell it to gsc.Big money

just need a better gaming chair

just ordered the new AC for next summer, bring it on

[modern umbra]

That is a very interesting find

[merry mountain]

Everything is useless , i just want the debug menu from the old dev build
i did not sleep for so long

this thing #╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

i found a file that contains the teleport locations seen in that screenshot

but i cant get the Debug Menu to show up

only this thing

it says Page Up & Page Down to cycle between targets, but sadly that does also not work

Console command for that is
showdebug

at least we can see our X Y Z coords and rotation

[modern umbra]

Need a reload speed mod. >:(

[potent nymph]

Anyone figured out how to adjust the light / shadow casting for muzzle flashs?

[summer silo]

Aight, who here is a tech guru and can whip up an

AMUMSS?

aka

Auto Modbuilder-Updater With MOD Script Definition System

This shit is fucking based ngl. No Man's Sky community can update mods and merge them in an instant with it.
It automatically unpacks the required game file, finds by string (or other defined search methods) and applies a modified value to them, then repacks the edited file into a new pak.
If it detects conflicts it takes alphabetical approach and creates a merged pak that is loaded after the original mods that were merged.

[foggy hinge]

Has anyone figured out how to edit the double-click quick transfer time window?

I.E. how fast you need to double-click to transfer an item

[summer silo]

In Laymans terms, you grab a bunch of lua files from Nexus
Game updates, click build button, tool grabs latest files, applies mod values, makes pak files

Should work for simple mods like Groks rebalance, not sure about bigger ones like Real Weapon Names or Mutant Loot

[merry mountain]

we already have a auto merger

[summer silo]

This is bigger than auto merger.

It automatically creates mods based on original game files using instructions contained in the lua

So if there is say, a game update that changes the files, this tool would let you update without having to wait for modders to do it

[merry mountain]

yeah , thats what it does, it compares the mods to the base files and each other and merges them accordingly and makes a new merged pak

[summer silo]

Okay, does the merger account for game updates?

Or will it treat tweaked values from the update as ones that were replaced by a mod?

[merry mountain]

it looks inside the original cfgs contained iin the game, so it uses the mosst recent ones

https://github.com/Zweite93/Stalker2PakCfgMergeTool

#1310813942989459517 message

it only merges Pak Cfg mods atm tho, no mods with uasset files

[earnest gale]

Guys i have a question.
Engine.ini
Is it true that the agruments inside brackets [] does actually mean nothing and are ignored?
It is just to organize?

I am having different result in same engine ini when i remove the [] how is that possible?

off topic: GWZ GANG RISE UP lets go MITHRAS 🫡🫡

[summer silo]

I asked ChatGPT because I couldn't be bothered looking for it myself

Yes, the brackets are needed in the Engine.ini file in Unreal Engine. They are used to define sections, and without them, Unreal Engine would not recognize the groupings of settings, causing the configuration to be invalid or ignored. Each section header enclosed in brackets helps the engine understand which category the settings belong to.
For example, without the brackets, the engine wouldn’t be able to differentiate between settings for different features or systems, and the settings would not be applied correctly.
So, in short, the brackets are essential for proper organization and functionality of the Engine.ini file. They help Unreal Engine parse and apply the settings properly.

[earnest gale]

(Gray zone warfare night update is out now)

[summer silo]

I guess if there are two engine.ini lines that have exact same variable name it defines which section it belongs to

[earnest gale]

THANK YOU! So that they dont matter is a misinfirmation.

So also order or command matters?

[summer silo]

I don't think order really matters, just that each one is their own respective section.

[earnest gale]

Triple checked no different parameters just different order of parameters inside []

Like i have two [system settings] if i merge them it seems to break engine.ini

[alpine cradle]

i was tagged by someone by cant find the message, how do i search for it ?

[misty timber]

When adding PAKs should we add ALL FILES in the download including UCAS? Or just only .PAKs. I do both an have no issues, just want to make sure im doing it right

[desert valve]

@summer silo @merry mountain you are not talking about the same thing

[summer silo]

type "mentions: unga_bunga420 " in search

[alpine cradle]

just ur message pops up. works tyvm, but none from last night, cause i already scroll to present ?

[desert valve]

the current mod conflict resolver will use the current config as a base, yes. but it would overwrite changes made in the base game configs with whatever is in the mod configs

[summer silo]

I mean, this is what I see

[desert valve]

so it would essentially revert the update of the base game

[alpine cradle]

wtf

old new or relevant

[summer silo]

kek

[white sentinel]

You suppose to use the mentions: search function

[alpine cradle]

?

[desert valve]

i think you searched for the literal "mentions: unga_bunga420"

[alpine cradle]

yea 🙂

[white sentinel]

just type mentions:

and then your name

[desert valve]

the feature is localized

in the search dropdown there should be a "mentioned" somewhere in your language

[white sentinel]

Bunga seems to be using english though

it is the second option when you click the search bar

[alpine cradle]

nvm have to leave will do this after, but tyvm for help

[summer silo]

Discord is confusing

[desert valve]

but just copy&paste does not work

[summer silo]

I mean if I copy paste it turns into the proper syntax

[white sentinel]

Welp

[alpine cradle]

if i write it nothing happens

[summer silo]

Discord stole your mentions

[white sentinel]

Discord hates you

anyway need to finish coffee and go dogs 😄

will probably do it after

[alpine cradle]

GET SOME JUICE!!!!!!!!!

[desert valve]

oh it does, but only localized -.-

thats stupid

[crimson laurel]

is there a way to make the animation slower?

[desert valve]

which animation are you refering to? 😄

[crimson laurel]

energy drink

bro sips that shit way too fast

[summer silo]

Those animations aren't really meant to last god knows how long.
Most of them can even be interrupted as they trigger as soon as the animation starts, unless you use a medical item

[crimson laurel]

it shouldnt be less than half a second either

[summer silo]

Shrugs It would likely require an animation change, and we haven't even scratched changing those

[crimson laurel]

i mean ik with ue5 u can change the animation play rate but not sure if u could with code in the consumable prototype

[desert valve]

Would love to just disable anmitation canceling for those TBH

[summer silo]

Somebody will mod that at some point.
But at the same time I'd keep animation cancelling and just make the item use count as soon as you finish using them.

[vital coyote]

i mean ue5 is free, you can just get it off epic i installed it gunna watch a few tutorials for stuff like animations

[merry mountain]

finally i can see debug info about other entitys
use the following command
ShowDebugForReticleTargetToggle
and ShowDebug

[summer silo]

I'd rather be able to drop a sausage on the floor and whip out a shotgun instead of having to watch myself chomp it down while a bloodsucker rips me a new one

[desert valve]

id cancel them everytime by accident though

but i see your point

[desert valve]

so you now know what he is wearing underneath?

[summer silo]

Considering how dangerous mutants are in this game as it stands not being able to cancel animations would result in a lot of unfair deaths, lol

[crimson laurel]

i mean canceling is fine but canceling bc you ran...

[summer silo]

No reload and run is criminal but it was like this in original games as well

[merry mountain]

i now can see his UID so i can affect him with commands, this also works for all other objects including the ground, containers etc

[crimson laurel]

omg "ShowDebugForReticleTargetToggle" is a killer I NEEDED THAT SO BAD OMG TY

i only knew showdebug

[teal wing]

The sprint speed makes up for it

[vital coyote]

what are you using for that btw? i have the console, is it a comand or a separate thing? super usfull

[merry mountain]

what do you mean?
to enable what you see above, you can use the commands i posted

[vital coyote]

ohh my bad i was in tutorial land

[merry mountain]

if you then want to use commands that needs a UID of something , you can now get that uid

there is for example a command to make a npc follow the player i think, and it takes a uid for the npc, so ill try that

[vital coyote]

nice good stuff ty ty

[merry mountain]

at least i think its the uid

[vital coyote]

baby steps 🫡

been compiling all the usfull info and writing it down

[merry mountain]

but if not we can probably figure something out with what we got

[desert valve]

that would finaly be a way to get the dudes stuck in doors to move out of the way

[merry mountain]

hm

[vital coyote]

that and you can just phase through em if you have the consol

[merry mountain]

The full string is not the uid , and the number after it also seems to not be it, at least i cant make a npc move with XMoveToPlayer

if i use the full string it says bad paramete

if u just use the number, nothiing happens

[desert valve]

well true, but way less cool

[merry mountain]

but on the other hand, i think that some of the console commands miight actually just dont work

[vital coyote]

also another comand that may help and have is "XStopEmission" ive heard alot of pple getting stuck in their saves

[desert valve]

there is a scripted emission as part of the story that confused the hell out of me, i suspect a lot of others will feel the same pain

[vital coyote]

well im more so talking about a crash

[desert valve]

oh yeah, i heard of that

[vital coyote]

emmision is going to happen no matter what some will cause a crash every time it happens for whatever reason

wouldnt do it willy nilly if it is for a quest or whatever but if it stops you from a crash loop it can save your game

[opal rock]

Hey guys, tried to make my first mod to reduce amount of stormy+rainy weather. Tweaked some of the params in the WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg (reduced weight for rainy and stormy weather, increased for sunny, tweaked a bit for cloudy), packed everything according to the original paths, but cant see any changes towards more sunny/cloudy weather, less rainy/stormy.
Nothing is crashing, just doesnt work. Can anyone help me with some kind of advice please?

[merry mountain]

sadly what we see does not seem to be the NPC UID 😦

lol

[vital coyote]

idk if you can replicate how the flashlight mod works, you can plug it into the console and do list mods but thats just a shot in the dark i don't know how that works at all. but for things that are hard to tell right away would be nice to tell what is loaded and what isnt

[merry mountain]

put the number after the string as argument to XPrintInventory, game crashes
if i use it as parameter in XKillNpcByUID it also crashes

[severe citrus]

Camera Head Bob or Camera Shake is bugged. Stand still and look closely at the screen, every few seconds the screen does a very quick like judder and the scene like foliage etc blurs. Has anyone found any settings to disable camera bob or shake?

[merry mountain]

so i would assume thats not the UID

[umbral linden]

There is a cheat engine table I'm not sure if it lets you get NPC IDs but it lets you get inventory item positions

https://treert.github.io/ue-consolehelp/ue5.html

Maybe there is a console command in that which could help

[merry mountain]

at least the game starts ultra fast when you disable shader compile and intro videos

and load very fast

[vital coyote]

i havent even looked at what its shows yet but hope this may shed some light https://chatgpt.com/share/67472802-55d4-8010-ba0b-16452cc3edc1

its gpt so grain of salt

[neat thistle]

Who can help me? How to make UnrealReZen work? I have .uassets which I need to repak, but this soft seems not working

[vital coyote]

UnrealReZen? havent heard of that one yet. what is that one suposed to do? just pack and un pack?

[neat thistle]

It supposed to be the way change/create new icons without installing UE5 tools

But this particular thing should pack your things

After you prepared files with another soft

[vital coyote]

hmm shifty will deff check it out, ue isnt that big btw only like 36 gigs i think deff a fuck tone more complicated

thinking if you plan on doing a bunch of stuff may be handy to have

[neat thistle]

Right now I only want to understand how to add new items to the game and I can't add new icons for them

Other things later, heh

[vital coyote]

have you seen the mutant items mod?

even if you dont want to used it download it and pick apart their work

[neat thistle]

Yes. But my problem is I simply can't pack my shit 😦

[vital coyote]

ohh word, yeah my b im tired as shit

these file formats break my brain too

[neat thistle]

Yeah

So overcomplicated

No shit it weights 160gb, lol

And patches for it weights ~100gb

haha

[vital coyote]

been picking one battle at a time but i will say s2 has a totally different file structure then gray zone, (ran the fmodle thang on that game to take a look) s2's stuff just seams all over the place with no ryme or reason

[crimson laurel]

but is there the objUID at least

[merry mountain]

you can find objUID in Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\ObjPrototypes

[crimson laurel]

thats not objUID

[merry mountain]

if you want to spawn stuff

it works for me with commands that want objUID i think

[crimson laurel]

XObjRecalcAllEquipment ObjUID
XObjRecalcAllCachedStats ObjUID

XSpawnItemContainer PrototypeID Px Py Pz Gold Pitch Yaw Roll

i still didnt find a way to customize the loot generators for each container

or maybe i just dont understand the code

lol

i see on the destructible container theres a action that says "spawnitem"

but it doesnt ever mention any item generator

[merry mountain]

there is also, which takes a Category
ShowDebugToggleSubCategory

but im not sure what Categorys are avaiable

[crimson laurel]

ion see no difference

[merry mountain]

yeah either because it does not work or because we do not supply a valid category

There is also an Input Action i tried to map, to enabled some debug stuff, but i does not work

InputAction /Game/_Stalker_2/data/input/InputActions/IA_Debug_ToggleDebugGUI.IA_Debug_ToggleDebugGUI

i tried adding it in CustomizeControls.cfg

     [6] : struct.begin
         DefaultID = -1
         bIsPlayerMappable = false
         PlayerMappableOption = Debug_ToggleDebugGUI
         InputActionSID = IA_Debug_ToggleDebugGUI
         Key = Multiply
         OldKey = None
         Triggers : struct.begin
            [0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Pressed
         struct.end
      struct.end```

[foggy hinge]

I am pretty sure they have an integrated Debug ImGUI already unless that is what you're working off of

LUL

NVM

[merry mountain]

#1310014674267541545 message

i know, i can get the demo ui up

[foggy hinge]

Oh shit!

[merry mountain]

and they had a debug ui based on this in the leaked dev build a few years ago

#╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

see that

[wheat oasis]

what is the difference between actual mod making and stalker2 mod making

[foggy hinge]

Yeah.

I noticed they had teleportpresets

[merry mountain]

the telleports presets from the screenshot are actually still there

[wheat oasis]

this channel is just people fuckin with cvars and the other discussion is people actually reversing shit ?

[merry mountain]

There is supposedly also a minimap

[foggy hinge]

That would make sense.

[merry mountain]

DebugHUDView /Script/Stalker2.Default__DebugHUDView

[foggy hinge]

I feel like there is some way to introduce the ImGUI debug menu back in

[merry mountain]

i tried calling this somehow using UE4SS

but i dont know enough about UE4SS and lua

@frosty portal if you have some time and want to help later, feel free to fiddle with DebugHUD stuff in UE4SS

[vital coyote]

gpt seams to have some soled answers on imgui

[frosty portal]

[merry mountain]

sadly useless 😄

[formal bronze]

Oh dang I just assumed all Debug UIs will be stripped, interesting find. Imagine we activate the Alife debug UI

[merry mountain]

i know that imgui is there, i can enable the debug window as seen earlier, but i did not find an instance of whatever that actually uses it inside the game

not with FModel and not with UE4SS Live View

[raw crest]

Guys some guy on Reddit claimed there are mod that changed spawn distance from 65m to 850m, but i can't find it. Can someone link me which one it is?

[merry mountain]

You can do
ImGui.ToggleDemo
in Console to enabled the demo window

[hard plank]

When's someone gonna make a mod that REMOVES ALL YELLOW PAINT. Like bro I know I can use a ladder, it's a ladder. You didn't need to plaster it in yellow paint. Thank God for the one dude who made that mod that retextures stash bags, but boxes and safes still have little yellow bits on them too.

[crimson laurel]

am i the only one that got a white screen during solder cutscene?

[vital coyote]

ohh word

[hard plank]

I think that's Roadside Panic, I was literally just looking at it

[teal wing]

imagine doing this and realizing for a second time it’s not enabled and changing values for something that isn’t enabled is like tuning an unplugged radio lol

[hard plank]

it has a toned down version that goes to 250m as well

[raw crest]

Is it too performance heavy? My CPU is already suffering at 70-90%

[merry mountain]

yes it is , obviously

it will cost way more performance then it does now

[hard plank]

Don't know yet! I got the lite and I'm about to play with it for the first time. I imagine it's gonna be worse but I havent really had preformance issues so that's no problem to me.

[merry mountain]

the spawn and render distances for NPCs by default are very low

and despawn distances

[vital coyote]

yeah ngl i think alife is just not in because of preformance not that its bugged.

[merry mountain]

that is like idk, 8-10 times increase

[raw crest]

Alright i will grab heaviest one and see how much my cpu suffers

[merry mountain]

#1310377824007491584 message

[hard plank]

Agreed, but I kinda miss just walking around and finding patrols going to do their own individual tasks. Then again that's a lot harder to do when your preformance issues are through the roof for just about everyone

[vital coyote]

there are other mods that dont turn on alife but changer the random spawn stats too

[teal wing]

I’m chilling at 30% cpu use 😦

wish it would use more

[vital coyote]

ohh yeah its the main thing i love stalker for

[cloud lark]

did you do writeup / release of what you showed on stream yesterday yet?

[vital coyote]

that and the pda made you feel like you were in a living breathingh world

[teal wing]

Ah yeah because they don’t exist and it feels weird because you KNOW they’re just randomly spawned in

[teal wing]

I spent 15 hours modding and I just woke up

[vital coyote]

with other pple all living their lives

[teal wing]

No.

I absolutely did not

[hard plank]

Stalker did such a good job at making you feel like a small part of the world, but stalker 2 has kinda lost that.

[cloud lark]

lazy

[teal wing]

https://tenor.com/view/cigarette-gif-12153262035257150133

[merry mountain]

just dont sleep, like me

im very done

[vital coyote]

fr

[teal wing]

I got 5 hours of sleep

[formal bronze]

As of now the consensus is that it's borked, or disabled, or a combination of the two, not absent

[vital coyote]

i want a smoke now again stooooop

[frosty portal]

I miss walking with the PDA

[vital coyote]

TT_TT

ohh yeah

[cloud lark]

look man i want my headlamp shadows

[teal wing]

We know that. The “consensus” is similar to the truth here, where the code doesn’t execute at all 🤔

[cloud lark]

also i want performance

[hard plank]

Asking a bit much there bud

[cloud lark]

should have seen his stream yesterday

[vital coyote]

the shadows kinda look bad for me indoors i wound up turning them off :/

[heavy oasis]

Are there any mods that reduce the insane amount of bloodstalker spawns

Seriously its just boring to keep seeing them

Itsnnot scary:(

[vital coyote]

^ fucking agree, been standing in the garbage south of the saw mill testing just stuff and its non stop

[heavy oasis]

I actually see them more than sporks

Snorks

It's stupid

[viscid socket]

I see them more than psydogs, snorks, hell even more than boars

Like what the fuck

[torn pivot]

I’ve seen more bloodsuckers than any other kind of mutant in my playtime. It’s fucked

[desert valve]

i think everybody agrees but so far no mod that im aware of, no

[heavy oasis]

It's taken all the thrill and anxiety from them

[teal wing]

not really an issue worth looking in to…. Patch coming….

[heavy oasis]

There is no excitement or shitting myself reaction when I see them every fucking 5 mins

[teal wing]

Yeah so wait for patch?

[heavy oasis]

I am I don't know if they will fix that

[teal wing]

since we can’t mod that yet

[heavy oasis]

I know

That's why I'm frustrated with it

No way to fix it just have to hope they recognise it

[raw crest]

i went and grabbed CPU Scorcher, wish me luck

[heavy oasis]

And this patch is just quest fixed

And bugs

It seems

[teal wing]

I really hope they don’t

[viscid socket]

In gamma though? Still shit myself a bit

[raw crest]

There is mod that decreases spawn chance of bloodsuckers, or so i read

[teal wing]

I don’t want them to work on these spawning mechanics at all. It’s stupid.

I would much rather them just work on the separate A Life system so that comes sooner.

I’m fine with it until then.

Or it’ll be a year or two before A Life comes

😬

[merry mountain]

it says that this version only makes sense for testing purposes if you change spawn behaviior to do tests

[teal wing]

all of these new A Life mods are still so much worse than A Life Maybe which came out days ago

[raw crest]

why exactly

[raw crest]

i know i'm just curios about shitshow it weill create

[teal wing]

I literally just tried A Life Extended yesterday and I was so frustrating playing because things were spawning in my face

A Life Maybe just made it feel like STALKER and my experience was amazing

[orchid wharf]

A life mod is working ?

[heavy oasis]

It is linked to a life though

[teal wing]

Jesus. Heist

are you guys Mac users by chance

?

just wondering

[crimson laurel]

someone needs to make the encyclopedia on thte pda 😦

[tidal yew]

I think the mod I need the most on earth is the pda being usable while walking

[crimson laurel]

fr specially to remove the compass

luckily all it needs is a reanimation ig

[tidal yew]

A-life, that, and an in inventory health menu so I can go 0 hud

I think would be perfect

[teal wing]

This actually might be a problem to create

[wheat oasis]

which a-life mod is the goto one rn?

[teal wing]

The way unreal works doesn’t natively allow that

[wheat oasis]

theres like 8 of them

on nexus and i dont know which one is the "best" one

[teal wing]

The only good one is the first and oldest one

[celest kettle]

none of the alife mods seem to work for me, still spawning behind me every time i look around

[tidal yew]

Ooh really that’s interesting how does unreal stop it? Is the map screen considered like a pause menu or something else?

[raw crest]

Alright, NPCs can shoot you through brick walls i learned that, i cant see them

[celest kettle]

they got heat vision

[wheat oasis]

once ive done a playthrough of the game i'm gonna look into trying to make mods

[tidal yew]

There’s a building with a journalist stash that has a like truck trailer car outside and it’s completely see through for the ai and they just shoot you through it lol

[raw crest]

Im currently stuck in Cordon and bandits are fucking my shit up through wall

there are like 200meter between us

[tidal yew]

Its pretty neat

[wheat oasis]

ive never made a mod but i have made trainers and esp and stuff for different simple ish games and some reversing
dont know shit about how unreal works though

probably better to install unreal and use it a little so i can at least get an idea of how the engine works

[tidal yew]

Experiment with a mod that adds bloodsuckers with big naturals that’s prolly a good first step

[wheat oasis]

i was thinking about a backpack mod

theres already mods to set carry weight/mod that adds items like monster parts

so i could just make a "backpack" an item in your inventory that increases carry weight but thats kinda jank

just have to learn how to add to trader inventories and how stash items work
i assume stashes are random % to spawn specific items so i could add my "backpack" to the list/array ?

[wheat oasis]

idk i'll have to just start checking stuff out i wanna beat the game first doe

[crimson laurel]

they are penning u

[raw crest]

for me it only spawned dozens of bandits and bunch of boars like old stalkers and they were fighting, however it keeps spawning them

[wheat oasis]

maybe a backpack would be better as an artifact

since there is artifacts that increase carry weight so i could just use that as the base ? idfk im just yapping

i'll try to mess around later it'd be nice if they release an sdk at some point

[raw crest]

Artifact backpack that you can store unlimited amount of stuff in it, connected to another dimension

[wheat oasis]

lol

i just kinda meant i could make the backpack item an "artifact" but not really
just so i can use the artifact slot and change carry weight without having to take off armor/reload save or whatever that you gotta do when just changing the carry weight cvar itself

[frosty portal]

function DebugHUD()
    --local WorldMap = StaticFindObject('/Script/Stalker2.Default__WorldMap')
    local DebugHUDView = StaticFindObject('/Script/Stalker2.Default__DebugHUDView')
    if DebugHUDView:IsValid() then
        print("DebugHUD valid")
        DebugHUDView:Construct()
        DebugHUDView:AddToViewport(1)
        DebugHUDView:AddToPlayerScreen(1)
    else
        error("DebugHUDView invalid")
    end
end

DebugHUD()```
This doesn't do anything, but atleast it doesn't error out

Unfortunately I can't do more, I think they stripped the methods to open it, as I see them in IDA (unreal-stalker2.dll) but not in my dumps

[cloud lark]

did anyone find a actor.cfg yet ?

[raw crest]

ah i see, i totally misunderstood you lol

[nova jetty]

Hi, anyone has experience with animating a ue5 overlay?

[north wasp]

???

[merry mountain]

thiis is not facebook

[frosty portal]

this is stalker 2 not stalking

[raw crest]

are these photos of the people in the game i keep finding

[north wasp]

i wouldn't click on that

[raw crest]

nvm i guess just a bot

[merry mountain]

that where just photos tho, so whats the reason lol

[merry mountain]

😦 sad, but thanks for trying

[raw crest]

Man i want my CoP minimap back, current compass is ASS

[merry mountain]

Function /Script/Engine.HUD:ShowDebug
This works and takes a property DebugType as Parameter, do you have a clue where we can find them?
i just try values i found for other games

but there probably exists an ENUM or whatever somewhere
but i cant find it in UE4SS live view

[kindred lotus]

i want a scanner type physical map

[torn haven]

has anyone made move while in inventory and pda

[wheat oasis]

The game supports lua scripts ?

https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS

Ah nvm

thats huge

[frosty portal]

can't find anything

[merry mountain]

thanks, so same as me.
then i will just try more arguments i find on the internet

but i think im out of arguments already 😄

Why has no NPC a NpcUID Property , it needs to be stored somewhere wtf

Function /Script/Stalker2.CustomConsoleManagerVD:XShowUnitAndSquadUIDs
there is this which takes a float range parameter and it executes without error, but it just returns nothing to the console

oh

OH YES

[nova jetty]

Where should I start looking to learn to add fog animations to my mask overlay?

[merry mountain]

YES

i found the UIDs

my number was too small.
It displayss text above their heads
XShowUnitAndSquadUIDs 50000.
I successfully killed a npc using that ID with XKillNpcByUID

[teal wing]

wish I could send you this YouTube series

but I’m at work

[nova jetty]

Got a name I can look up

[kindred lotus]

i FUCKIN HATE THE BALL OF LIGHTNING THING
