ARK, for instance leaves the console enabled

[merry mountain]

you can still call all other sorts of commands so

[frozen skiff]

I've already posted a link to GD with them...

[vital coyote]

ohh word ight

didnt see that

[frozen skiff]

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

[merry mountain]

but you only uploaded test exe, which does not run without the removed DLL

[lavish lichen]

Does the test build have any inventory edit tools? I'm tempted to mess around since I disabled Steam's auto-update so I still have the files

[merry mountain]

what do you mean with inventory ediit

[crimson laurel]

wym inventory edit tools

[merry mountain]

if you just want to add items to inventory, you can already do that

XCreateItemInInventoryByID PrototypeID ObjUID Count Durability

[crimson laurel]

fiddlenator if u find a way to make existent assets lootable let me know because i found the rest i want but no idea how to make existent assets lootable, but i think i can make new assets lootable so

[lavish lichen]

Like say in the save or character tab if there are lists that allow item deletion from the stash or inventory

[thin marsh]

Damn, can't manage to find the radio song list in the files or anywhere

[lavish lichen]

I plan on making a cleanup script for removing items from the stash/inventory when mods like Mutant Loot or Itemization are uninstalled once the whole save file thing is figured out so I'd guess there would be some hints in the test build

So I figured I'd ask before diving in the build lol

[raw crest]

I'm very sad that it will use modio as modding platform

[sour pawn]

hey silly question, outside of blueprint mod loading, is there any other differences between

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64 (UETools - Developer Console . Debugging)
and
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/304 (Simple ModLoader and Console Enabler)

[crimson laurel]

why are you sad about that

[vital coyote]

was curious too i use the latter

[merry mountain]

its only thing that makes sense if you want cross platform compatible mods

[crimson laurel]

he wants to gatekeep mods 😦

[raw crest]

From what i seen in Snowrunner, you cannot download mods that change anything substantial, only new items, more money. All other mods that actually modify game files needs to be added manually

[vital coyote]

gate keepers

[alpine cradle]

irl sosugi mod

[crimson laurel]

thats why external tools exist, but lets see, as long as they make things easier

[alpine cradle]

home made

[thin marsh]

it's not like anyone on PC seriously modded games like fallout 4 or Skyrim using the Dev provided mod loader... Everyone did it manually or with mod manager like Vortex

They implement this to allow mods on console to an extent even tho console modding will never be what it can be on PC

[raw crest]

IMO it creates separation between mods that you can download on PC. On bathesda games i noticed some goods mods only exists in creation others exists in nexus and they are not compatible together

[thin marsh]

idk... never had a mod for any BGS game that i couldn't find online tbh... it felt more like a gimmick on PC that bethesda gave players knowing that only console users or very inexperienced PC players would use

[winged hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0DRkH3r15Y

[thin marsh]

and obviously a way for bethesda to make a profit aswell, we all remember what happened with fallout 4 creation club

[north wasp]

Modio again... Seriously

[raw crest]

Finally someone agreeing with my pleas

Eastern European devs should stop using that platform

[compact otter]

Their other option is hosting themselves which I don't think is a feasible solution for them

[raw crest]

Will dev 1.0.5 be public 1.0.5 or they are separate version numbers

[north wasp]

Or they could just let nexus proliferate, won't mod.io be limited anyway?

[compact otter]

They need mod.io because mods will be on console

[north wasp]

Oh ffs

I forgot about that

[winged hemlock]

Separate

[compact otter]

Everything right now is just speculation. There's no telling what they'll give access to with the SDK yet.

mod.io isn't the limiting factor here, it's whatever GSC lets us do with the SDK

since mod.io just needs to ship pak files

[crimson laurel]

dont worry about it, they wont give us less access than what we can do already

[compact otter]

I doubt that, there's references to quest tools

[north wasp]

I mean due to the fact mods have to be on console to begin with, it's probably going to be limited in some ways

[crimson laurel]

who said it HAS to be on console

[compact otter]

GSC

[crimson laurel]

no, otherwise they wouldnt allow nexus to have stalker 2 mods

[north wasp]

Wut

[compact otter]

huh?

[desert abyss]

Ain’t no way they left the debug tool in haha

[north wasp]

Not mutually exclusive dude

[raw crest]

Can you see which areas have borders but does not exist in the game

[woeful crane]

If they are TRUELY making this be feature parity between PC, XBOX S AND X than we're fucked as far as getting anything of value

[compact otter]

It's not even competition

[woeful crane]

and that's beyond dumb

[crimson laurel]

its not about competition, if they really wanted it to be such parity, they would only allow for it to be on modio

[north wasp]

I hope not, why would pc users have to suffer from console bullshit

[raw crest]

They can't really unallow it

[crimson laurel]

you know previous games have modio pages too

yes they can

[compact otter]

They say it will support total conversions

[merry mountain]

btw. i did not do much in terms of story yet, but is the entire CNPP Area just , basically cut from the game

[raw crest]

How exactly?

[vital coyote]

anomaly 2

[compact otter]

Likely DLC

[merry mountain]

there are 0 lairs, item containers, the 2 districts have no names and contain nothing

[crimson laurel]

they know damn well what people want to do with stalker 2 based on what people modded in anomaly

[crimson laurel]

they have prohibited other platforms, websites from what i know

[winged hemlock]

Teleportations don`t work on my side

[raw crest]

Is that even a thing...

[raw crest]

I think it shows on the map you showed, we could understand which areas will be DLC

[thin marsh]

yeh... make it into a functionning game with actual variety and content in it instead of a commercially accessible unbalanced mess ?

[compact otter]

Source?

[crimson laurel]

they dont want people to make mods that give ultimate edition and stuff without having it

[hexed bane]

ok is there any way to find out if my mods are compatible?

[compact otter]

that's their own fault for shipping it in the base game files

[winged hemlock]

That`s probably possible

[compact otter]

They should have added the DLC files as separate pak chunks in their own depots

[crimson laurel]

people with that editions could still do the mods

and give them away

[thin marsh]

Happened with FO4 creation club items...

[raw crest]

If you have it open, can you send screenshot of the map with orange borders

[vital coyote]

was trying to unlock it myself its in the game

[thin marsh]

so unless they don't give us the tools to add custom weapon and items, they have no way to prevent it really

[vital coyote]

just gotta figure out how the scripts work

[merry mountain]

#1310332125597401169 message

[vital coyote]

gave up

[crimson laurel]

you can easily make a mod for yourself that gives all the paid content

[winged hemlock]

Maybe later, I`m going to add my mods and default files back
But I have backup

[crimson laurel]

but you cant publish it

[vital coyote]

yeah cant figure it out, my save is borked without it so i just want it for me lol

[hexed bane]

@merry mountainjust reading this and i figured out how dumb i am

[crimson laurel]

the way is taking the mod down in nexus(where they allow mods), and they could sue too

[woeful crane]

Yeah I noticed that, browsing through the files, it seemed like such a jank way to split the versions of the game up

[hexed bane]

there is not way iam able to figure it out ahhaa

[raw crest]

@compact otter you had the debug build right, can you show map with orange borders

[crimson laurel]

you can also spawn in the loot for yourself, without even needing to make it into a mod

[vital coyote]

yeah but the quests need to be active to launch into my save

[thin marsh]

annd just like creation club, authors will make their own version from scratch and contest it and win OR just upload it to russian based platforms where no legal action will be applied and players can just get the things

[vital coyote]

i dont even care about the weapons the quests are op as fuck

[crimson laurel]

if thats what people want its bound to happen but in legal based websites, it won't

you cant stop someoen from cracking the game

same goes as making mods for dlc content

[raw crest]

I think we shouldn't worry about it

[vital coyote]

^

[compact otter]

There's literally no way to prevent people from gaining access, it will happen anyways in some form.

It's not worth their effort to spend that much time

[thin marsh]

i had every single creation club items in my FO4 and even got most of them from nexus, also managed to grab them on Xbox via BGS mod loader lmao.

This just prove that it would be pointless for them to try and keep us from tools because that would happen or such, even after release once oyu have weapon mods for example or full on mods, people won't rrally get much from buying deluxe edition for exampel as mods could easily compensate for that

[vital coyote]

well i have a day 0 install with all dlc if yall big brains need anything

ill prob return to it l8ter but i give up for now

[raw crest]

Can you please show the spawner/teleportation map

[crimson laurel]

the map is cool but it crashed me

😏

when i tried to use the tp

[raw crest]

No limansk :(((((

noooo

Just 3 areas as DLC and no limans what the hell

[merry mountain]

thiis ?

[raw crest]

This one

[compact otter]

is there a way to show the cursor without the pause menu? lol

[merry mountain]

the cursor is there, its just not on the screenshots for some reason

[compact otter]

I mean how do you enable it without pause open

It's invisible for me

[merry mountain]

i just use the command for toggling the menu agaiin once or twice

[compact otter]

Ah, weird

yeah that works

[raw crest]

Any idea what is the other 2(actually 1?) areas other than CNPP

[compact otter]

TP just worked for me

[desert valve]

where latest dump

[compact otter]

bout to find out, I just TP'd there

[flat trail]

Random question, maybe this has already been addressed, but I get this error. I think I can manage everything else, but I can't figure out what file I need to edit/access to change the game path

[desert abyss]

Doing it rn

I wonder if they will fuck me for uploading the debug tool

[compact otter]

I wouldn't upload it to nexus lol

[desert abyss]

Git

[compact otter]

Or that, it'll likely just get DMCA'd

[desert abyss]

Yea good idea

[desert valve]

run.bat

[desert abyss]

what files are required for the debug tool?

they just got rid of the exe?

[compact otter]

it's just a forest with a bunch of powerlines

[neat thistle]

oof

[merry mountain]

exe and PalCoreApi.dll

[strange hearth]

Hey all, i'm trying to change the ammo type that is used by the unique weapon "Combatant" to 7.62x39 bc I have too much of that Ammo. Anyone know where to find the cfg for it specifically? I have no experience with this stuff, but I've been searching with FModel for quite a while with no luck

[compact otter]

and the pak files or opening inventory will crash

Thankfully, you can put them in your mod folder

As long as you do this, it will override the base game chunks

[merry mountain]

ah yes, forgot about that because im on 1.0 😄

[compact otter]

_P forces UE to load it after the other chunks as a patch file

[desert abyss]

good to know

[loud peak]

can someone tell me in wich folder I can find the weapon audios?

[flat trail]

I'm getting closer. I put in the path to the game, but now I get this error ****

[desert abyss]

ue5 is a clusterfuck for audio

[compact otter]

the audio isn't UE5

they use WWise

[loud peak]

[desert abyss]

ope yea u right

[compact otter]

You may be able to recreate a wwise project though

[desert abyss]

is that uproject working yet

[compact otter]

You need a build of https://github.com/narknon/UnrealEngine-CEEnd/tree/STLKR to load the uproj

[desert abyss]

i just get a 404

[compact otter]

which means you need to build the entire Unreal Engine

[desert abyss]

great

[compact otter]

on that link?

[desert abyss]

yea

[desert abyss]

wtf

[compact otter]

[e-mail]:narknon/UnrealEngine-CEEnd.git

Oh right, it's private

I don't remember how I got access

I think you need to be a member of the Epic Games org

because it's forked from https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine

I'll see if the stalker branch builds

If it does, anyone who wants it would have to register to be added to EG org and build it themselves though

[desert abyss]

yea makes sense

[flat trail]

I figured something out, well, kinda cobbled together some reshades and got it working so it toggles all the hud with a button press

[desert abyss]

just did it. super easy

[compact otter]

the hard part is building the engine lol

[desert abyss]

yea doesnt sound fun

[compact otter]

I have most of the toolchain from a custom build of UE4, it just takes a bunch of time to compile

[hexed bane]

can someone modify a file for me to have even less loot?

or tell me how to mod it

[desert abyss]

#╟⚒stalker2™-mod-resources

[merry mountain]

its already a thing tho, you can just do that using a mod and a single keypress

[hexed bane]

how hard would it be to disable lose loot completly?

[frail plover]

I figured out how to load a custom Blueprint into the game with the Blueprint mod loader and coded a blueprint that does it without UE4SS or anything external

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1310841674737389628

[flat trail]

Even getting rid of the little dots and interactable icons?

[crimson laurel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/247

[merry mountain]

not possible atm

[crimson laurel]

it is possible

[hexed bane]

is or not?

[merry mountain]

you mean the stuff laying around?

[crimson laurel]

yes

[hexed bane]

yes, the stuff laying around

[crimson laurel]

and u mean

loose

not lose

[hexed bane]

I am Serbian, English is my second

but yes, loose, i just want it gone

stashes, other things safes etc are fine

[crimson laurel]

why do u want it gone so bad, u can just not pick it up

[hexed bane]

its a imersion breaking for me so much man

i just cant play

[summer silo]

I guess that's why shader preload is important huh?

[merry mountain]

how does it break immersion wtf

[ripe flame]

https://tenor.com/view/biden-debate-president-presidential-debate-wtf-gif-4127151492472228747

[crimson laurel]

i get him tho

[hexed bane]

i am in zalis on a playtrough and i have like 25 meds

like 10 mins in game

[crimson laurel]

for it to be changed

its on a folder that has 90k cfgs

so

you can start editing it

if you want

[hexed bane]

i want to go for a random stash in a building somewhere to find meds and be happy finding them 🙂

[tidal yew]

soon man.

[ripe flame]

I think it's manually placed in scenes, so he'll have to wait for SDK

[crimson laurel]

am trying to make a mod that adds tarkov-like loot, but ill still wait a bit more hotfixes while am testing some stuff

[crimson laurel]

its not

i mean itst manually placed

its on a config

but it has 90k configs

[ripe flame]

What a strange approach

[crimson laurel]

its not strange, it makes sense

all actors that u can tweak are in configs

includes anomalies, stashes, destructibles

pack of items

i can add new containers but i want to be able to config existent assets already

[merry mountain]

thats an itemcontainer tho

[crimson laurel]

nah

its a destructible object

i tried it

and i changed the ammo crate loot to consumable

[ripe flame]

What's bugging me is that stashes and containers are bound to saves

[crimson laurel]

i could add new jackets to the map and make it lootable but i want to make the jackets that are on the map lootable

[crimson laurel]

how would u want it to be

[ripe flame]

To be generated on container inventory being opened. Right now if you change configs for spawn rates, they will be applied only in new game

[crimson laurel]

nah

[compact otter]

you can regen stashes with a console command

[crimson laurel]

they arent bound on saves, if u die the loot is regenerated

if u restart the save the loot that u didnt open

will be different

if u dont save

[hallow sand]

I KNOW THIS DOESN"T SEEM LIKE MUCH, but fuck am I proud. I got the colim site onto the DROWNED ak where it doesn't belong... Now I'm gonna fuck wit hthe X,y settings for the site and move it to a proper spot

[crimson laurel]

if u didnt like the loot on the container u can just rollback the save and open the container again and will be different

[ripe flame]

It will, but it will follow "old" rules. For example, if I set 1-3 medkits for a stash config and it was 4-8, this new rule of "1-3" will be applied only in new game

[rare ruin]

Holy shit man @shrewd rampart that migraine didn't go away from sleep and it just now went away lmao.

Time to continue working on those generators

[hexed bane]

@crimson laureloh, and what about a pak file that i alredy have for corpses and stashes etc, is it hard to lower the values?

[merry mountain]

you can regenerate stash contents using console command
only stash tho, not itemcontainer

[crimson laurel]

thats easier than editing stuff u find in the world

[compact otter]

XRegenerateItemsInStashes

[ripe flame]

For that a player has to install a console enabler, sadly

[compact otter]

I mean, if you're making a mod, having the console will help testing

[crimson laurel]

idk y the meshpath tho

[ripe flame]

For dev - yes. For players - not good

[livid spire]

GUYS I SAVED MY SAVE ITS HERE

I BEAT IT!.

[crimson laurel]

yes god, sometimes u can get stuff and use noclip

[rare ruin]

Nice i remember you having problems

[merry mountain]

You can execute console command with a mod, via script / quest.
Or if you need more complex stuff UE4SS

[crimson laurel]

no idea what cluevariable and randomchances works tho, i have to try it out myself

fiddlenator do u think theres a way to map the borders of each zone

so i can make a script that automatically mods the 90k configs

based on each zone

i want each zone to have different loot chance, so in pripyat per example u might have a higher chance to get a golden rolex 😈

[livid spire]

YEAH I BEAT THE GAME

[merry mountain]

you mean something you throw coords in and it tells you the zone iit is in?
and then scan the files for coords and sort by zone or whatever to make it easier ?

[livid spire]

YAY

[half willow]

I've figured it out if anyone here cares, but for now it requires owning at least one of the DLC packages (PreOrder, Deluxe or Ultimate) :
Instead of replacing the entire UpgradePrototypes.cfg file, you can use refurl to overwrite the current ones but you can't use the same path as the original UpgradePrototypes.cfg file, thus you can use something like Stalker2\Content\GameLite\DLCGameData\PreOrder

You need to make sure to name your files correctly and to point the refurl in the to the right file like this:

   SID = GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_2
   Image = Texture2D'/Game/GameLite/FPS_Game/UIRemaster/UITextures/PDA/Upgrades/Weapons/SMG/Bizon/Body/Upgrade/T_BisonU_c_2.T_BisonU_c_2'
   Icon = Texture2D'/Game/GameLite/FPS_Game/UIRemaster/UITextures/PDA/Upgrades/Icons/T_PDA_Upgrades_Icon_Depreciation.T_PDA_Upgrades_Icon_Depreciation'
   BaseCost = 3600
   Text = sid_effects_change_caliber_to_0_45_name
   Hint = sid_upgrades_GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_2_description
   HorizontalPosition = 1
   VerticalPosition = EUpgradeVerticalPosition::Top
   UpgradeTargetPart = EUpgradeTargetPartType::Body
   EffectPrototypeSIDs : struct.begin
      [0] = DurabilityPos20Effect
      [1] = ChangeCaliber045Effect
      [2] = ChangeAmmoTypesNo919Effect
      [3] = ChangeAmmoTypes045Effect
   struct.end
   RequiredUpgradePrototypeSIDs : struct.begin
      [0] = GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_1
   struct.end
struct.end```

But you need to add the entire struct for "GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_2", can't just edit one part because the game basically overwrites the entire part with what you give it.
I'm trying to see if I can make a mod that will add an entirely new upgrade to the gun (without causing compatibility issues with other mods and shit), so if anyone is interested, here you go: https://github.com/herbatka/ZubrCaliberChange

[crimson laurel]

no more like if its in the bondaries of the zone then it does x

yeah

what u just said

theres 5k files that manipulate packofitems (the spawned loot) in world

easy right

[desert abyss]

looks like fun

[crimson laurel]

theres a bunch of destructible boxes that have no loot on the files, i want to add a low low percentage of getting valuables, but still majorily get nothing or primitives

most in faact

the wooden boxes have no loot

[ripe flame]

Looks interesting, but DLC requirment is too harsh, sadly

[half willow]

Correct, unfortunatly it's the only way I could get it to work 😦

[merry mountain]

i have to look at the debug map, and then probably in live view of ue4ss iif i can figure out if i can find out where it stores the points needed to calculate the area

[crimson laurel]

if you can find out lmk, it would make my life so damn much easier

[merry mountain]

and if we have that, we can make a script that sorts the files by area

[crimson laurel]

yeah

[merry mountain]

not sure if i have time for that today, but i will keep it in mind and try to find something

[crimson laurel]

it doesnt have to be today dont worry

but am thinking of adding new packofitems places

like inside opened safes already

very low chance

[ripe flame]

You should collab with Project Itemization on that https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1311729776066691142

[crimson laurel]

am just studying ways atm

and what things i should add and not, will take some time

[ripe flame]

Sure, but more loot is always fun

[crimson laurel]

for the moment am thinking of adding the tarkov items, maybe from arena breakout infinite too if i can somehow get the files from ABI

and with time make the meshes myself

[ripe flame]

I don't think we can add own meshes yet

[crimson laurel]

idk i have to test that but i can always use a bag placeholder

[ripe flame]

FYI, there's a lot of meshes and previews for them already in game. Lighters, toys, devices, etc

[crimson laurel]

i kinda hate how the drops ingame dont stack

u cant destroy items

so u have to drop them, or sell them if u can

and if u have hundreds... 10fps

[crimson laurel]

yeah toys would be nice

and all type of shit ofc

everything that is already in the game is a plus

[ripe flame]

This one is questionable though

[crimson laurel]

i could believe someone could do a cigarette consumable already, cus theres animations for and shit, even in a cutscene u can smoke it

[crimson laurel]

but yeah atm am mostly waiting for people to find out localization conflict fixes

[ripe flame]

There's a merger

[crimson laurel]

having to merge every mod is a massive L unless someone makes a automatic merger for it

theres a merger for localization?

[ripe flame]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/540

[crimson laurel]

i mean thats not a merger

my issues with mergers rn is that u cant choose the values, it just automatically chooses, from the one i looked at

[ripe flame]

Yeah, my bad

[crimson laurel]

but if people can make automergers, they certainly will make localization mergers

thats the main problem for me rn

cus its a game breaker

Hi, is it possible to make an unique red dot removable so you can use it on another weapon ? (and store it in inventory)

[ripe flame]

Then enable console and turn on / off one by one each entry from ini

[flat trail]

Ididn't know you could do that lol

[summer silo]

I wouldn't recommend that. Personally I noticed performance drops and degradation with mods that "improve LOD's"

[crimson laurel]

no

[ripe flame]

The only thing instead of "=" use space

[rare ruin]

you're locked into a match with the Monolith in Mahjong

what about numpads

I currently don’t have any conflicts and I hope y’all will help with testing as the mod progressed

[crimson laurel]

thought u would bring eotech 😦

[spark plinth]

I’ll be learning this month how to use UE to try and bring custom attachments

[hallow sand]

I was slowly working on that too hahaha

[hallow sand]

What have you edited so far? I'm working on putting the colim on the ak drowned

and id love to test your mod 😄

[crimson laurel]

hopefully there will be mods for actual attachment system

[slow lake]

Me too, I found so weird that you couldn't use that sight on the AK74S

[crimson laurel]

something gamma missed

gotta have a complete attachment system besides the upgrades

it can even use the same ui, different button

😈

[spark plinth]

That’s my end goal

I found a weird choice to lock certain attachments behind the technicians

[crimson laurel]

exactly

[hallow sand]

Same!

[crimson laurel]

i hate how they redesigned the kobra sight tho 😦

[half willow]

you know a way to make certain technicians be able to add an upgrade that they can't do?

[earnest wolf]

That’ll be perfect! Are you gonna do this for every gun that has a piccatiny rail?

[crimson laurel]

where is this version of that scope 😦

[spark plinth]

Hopefully, yes

[crimson laurel]

bring em in

[spark plinth]

Yes

[half willow]

which file is it

[vital coyote]

no dove tails

[compact otter]

Engine is still compiling so far

[spark plinth]

You have to add lines to every file that has weapon assignments

So far I’ve done everything just exclusively changes code lines.

[hallow sand]

Oh so that's what I missed.

Also, when you move the site around on the weapon, do you use the skeletal uasset file or do you do it in the generalsetupprototypes cfg?

[violet crater]

I guess you using no shader warmup addon ? I got after few days of using it simillar glitches ) Better delete it and wait for shader compilation i guess

[compact otter]

Removing shader compilation on boot is generally a bad idea

[spark plinth]

I use the sockets the game provides

No custom sockets.

If I use custom sockets then I can add custom sights.

[hallow sand]

gotcha

[vital coyote]

yee i do it like b4 stream so i can restart faster but put it back on after

[crimson laurel]

i mean if u go by a few days without compiling shaders then of course

if u recompile it often u good

[vital coyote]

also you can just set it manualy in the ini

[violet crater]

Yeah i just deleted this addon. Is okey for me wait this one minute you can go meanwhile make drink or toilet ))

[marble pawn]

Can somebody send newest Stalker2/Binaries/Win64/PalCoreApi.dll? I'm trying to restore gui from the dev build

[vital coyote]

r.PSOWarmup.WarmupMaterials=1

most of the time, it's not even compiling shaders, it's just checking if they changed

just set it to zero and every now and then set it to 1

[compact otter]

it does if you saved it from the old build

[violet crater]

Someone else is stuck at "In Search of Past Glory" quest boys ? On reddit is workaround for it but if i do this workaround my game crashing in inventory so i can't play anymore until next update (

[rare ruin]

i don't see it so i did not lol

[marble pawn]

thats the problem for me

it was removed https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/16592526/

and i really need it

[rare ruin]

didn't even know there was an update

there should be a zip with some dlls up top somewhere

search dev build

[rare ruin]

^^^

couldn't seem to find it quick enough lmao

[marble pawn]

♥️

[vital coyote]

you need day 1 patchunk 16

or inventory crashes

[rare ruin]

😩 we love that

[vital coyote]

if no one else has it for you i can upload to megga

[marble pawn]

already have it, thx

[vital coyote]

o7 thank god didnt want to but was gunna

[neat thistle]

Why XSetGodMode command is not working?

[vital coyote]

need mu bitrate rn

[violet crater]

Do you think it can fix my problem ? #╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

If yes please upload it for me if you can )

[vital coyote]

dont think so

its only related to using debug

[violet crater]

Hm rip 😄 I guess i have to wait for next update yes

[loud peak]

if anyone knows how to mod the audio files for weapons shooting, I can get licensed audios from envato elements (there are thousands of gun shoots audio)

[vital coyote]

there may be some comands you can use to fix whatever is happening or go to a save that works

[tight herald]

Use this link to download the last Zentools update then extract the exe indside a folder > open command prompt.

[violet crater]

Basically my problem was this in main story : https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz52nl/stalker_2_in_search_of_past_glory_workaround/?sort=new

But yeah after i did that my inventory just crashing unforunately )

[vital coyote]

ohh yee deff go to a pree, "fix" save

[violet crater]

Yeah atleast i will be able do some side missions until update )

[azure mortar]

Ty, I did got get it solved earlier, main thing was the last line with version=initial

Sadly zentools did not have what I was looking for, which was material import into unreal engine 5 for my mod which is supposed to make their performance better

[vital coyote]

i mainly wander and do side stuff while gsc get their shit together x)

gotta restart the game tho -_-

[azure mortar]

Currently I will need to remake every single material inside stalker 2 along with their parent material to work on the mod 😦

[compact otter]

You'll probably need to use the stalker uproj for that sort of stuff

[marble pawn]

👍

[vital coyote]

happy to help 🙂

spread the love if you see it lol

[azure mortar]

Wdym, is there a way to do edit files instead unreal engine 5

[vital coyote]

acutaly imma put it in my guide channel too

[compact otter]

https://github.com/narknon/Stalker2UProj but you need to build the custom version of UE5

[azure mortar]

Ohhhhh

[azure mortar]

I've never built a program before, atleast the ones from git hub, how large does the file size become?

[compact otter]

The engine is like 50GB

My build is still running, it's been going for almost 2hrs so far

[azure mortar]

Oh damn

So once it's built you can just drop project inside it with same structure as any ue project, and then everything should work right?

[compact otter]

For the most part, yes

[azure mortar]

I've checked one of the links inside github, it says required but the page gives 404 error

[tight herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6unVb5gNBtM
Uncooking would be a dream, but I'm not sure it works with 5.1.

[azure mortar]

Is there a new link

[compact otter]

You need to me a member of Epic Games org

[empty helm]

Do you guys know from which file can I extract "WeaponGeneralSetupPrototypes" ?

[near bone]

hello, any ideas on how to change the content of stashes?

[azure mortar]

Ah. Is it as simple as creating a github account and joining that organization

[vital coyote]

usualy you can do that stuff for free, i have a dev acc for nvida so i can use photoshop plugins

[compact otter]

You link your GH account to your EG account

[azure mortar]

Ohh

[distant holly]

Just found out that paks load priority are mostly affected by the number after '_' and before '_P.pak' in pak's name. So if you have two paks with names such as z_mod1_100_P.pak and zzz_mod2_99_P.pak, mod1 will be loaded last.

[vital coyote]

good to know

[compact otter]

UE loads files in lexicographic order, yes

Just got back to modding after todays update. getting this

anyone getting it too?

[tidal dragon]

Which today update?

[slow lake]

When trying to load a save?

[spark plinth]

I get it after playing a bit on my last save from yesterday

[spark plinth]

There was a small update today

[tidal dragon]

1.0.2?

[spark plinth]

after 1.0.2

[tidal dragon]

They made no announcement

[spark plinth]

They did not

[crimson laurel]

it wasnt even a update

lets be honest

[slow lake]

Weird, I am crashing way less now but it did break some of my mods that I were testing just fine yesterday and I get that same crash when trying to load any save

[spark plinth]

I'm doing a new playthrough to see

thats dope and it looks clean and matches s2

can finaly get rid of my crosshair

[empty helm]

missed that from gamma, I have no clue who I must shoot in S2

[cyan stirrup]

Yeah

[ocean cedar]

Give me BINOS GSC.

[cyan stirrup]

It's not 100% done yet; it doesn't work on unique characters

But I may just upload it as is for now because I'm gonna take a break. This sucked to do without the SDK lol

does require a modloader as its a blueprint mod

[ocean cedar]

We have a modloader?

[cyan stirrup]

Simple Modloader on nexus

[ocean cedar]

oh cool

[void owl]

Dude!

You did it!

[chrome flower]

turns off auto update

[compact otter]

Just backup the Win64 folder lol

[half willow]

[rare ruin]

can't even find a way to fix that either, it seems hard-coded

[cyan stirrup]

The way I went about it is hot garbage though to be entirely honest

[void owl]

But you didnt even need to use UE4SS. Thats already really good

[compact otter]

It used another mod loader that injects in the same way as UE4SS

[void owl]

ah yes im reading that now

[rare ruin]

that's still a huge step imo

[compact otter]

I don't see the need for the other loader, unless someone tried UE4SS and it didn't work

[rare ruin]

like, thats really good, if only there was a way to make it read the npc name, then we'd really have the same thing from Gamma

[void owl]

its all about taking the steps. Its all up hill from here on. Congrats

[rare ruin]

UE4SS is unstable for s2 last i checked

[compact otter]

I've been using it since day one with no issues

[empty helm]

Do you guys know from which file can I extract "WeaponGeneralSetupPrototypes" ?

[compact otter]

You can search files in FModel

I mostly use Simple Modloader when just playing because it feels like it inits way faster

UE4SS takes a while to boostrap, but I use it for dev

[rare ruin]

it can also launch bp mods on launch, right?

[cyan stirrup]

yeah

The live viewer is kind of a godsend when trying to reverse engineer this stuff

[rare ruin]

can UE4SS do that? I don't remember, I have the modloader but haven't tried dev'ing a mod with it yet

I'm trying to make the holosun to replace the other generic lasers too, don't know if it's possible

Yo, @vital coyote can may I ask a link for test exe from patch 1.0.1?

Nice progress, did you have to align them or they align perfect just with the socket?

[rare ruin]

working on my mod and watching Joov with Opera GX's pop-out feature, gotta love it

[gusty moss]

What pak files do I need to unpack to find .cfg files? Example TradePrototypes.cfg ?

[ripe flame]

Usually they just come out at Nexus

[sage trail]

wdym

[gusty moss]

Well, I extracted pakchunk0-Windows.pak but it had no config files, just audio.

[sage trail]

you need to use fmodel to view the pakchunk

then inside pakchunk find the config file and extract it as json

then when you are done repack it

[gusty moss]

I hate unreal engine

[slow lake]

Need FModel, pakchunk0 then Stalker2/Content/GameLite/GameData

[empty helm]

they are not the same hehe, I'm nitpicking but I think the Sotnyk one is cooler

[ripe flame]

Yeah, looking back X-Ray is not that bad after all

For just packing several textures I had to install 3 tools, learn them, then install UE 5, learn it a bit too, and then wait for about 40 minutes of it packing that 1 Mb pak file

[spark plinth]

Friend, ingame they are the same. The icons are different

I got it to work, I'm just now getting it on the rail.

[empty helm]

maybe there is a confusion, your icon showed the PAO 2X

so year there are two red dots, the PAO 2X and the Sotnyk one

[slow lake]

Is it an unique unremovable sight? that might explain why they didn't bothered with the inventory icon

[empty helm]

man if you find a way to make it usable on all picatinny guns you're the man

[spark plinth]

Yes, there is no icon for that scope. So it uses the PAO 2Xicon

[empty helm]

Yep but I was thinking he said that the Sotnyk red dot was exactly the same as the PAO 2X

[thin marsh]

love what you are doing !

[empty helm]

if you can place it on the rail, can you also move it a bit further away?

[spark plinth]

I would have to mod the bones and that is further down the road.

[empty helm]

hmm I see, I was expecting something simple like just editing Y/X coordinate

in an ini file

[spark plinth]

I wish!!!

[merry mountain]

@crimson laurel i cant find stuff that has the region coords, i may need to just use a image of the map, find a proper way to translate the coords and then get approximatiions that are good enough of the regions that way
this loads the T_GLOBAL_MAP_BASE.png which is 12951x12951px and then displays image coords on click , if i multiply the image coords with 62,65 i get the approximate ingame position

[empty helm]

I just hate how devs place red dots where rear sights are supposed to be, it looks better and more realistic when it's further away

they nailed it for the SOFMOD variant tho (I know that's just autism no one cares where the red dot is attached)

[quaint hazel]

Anyone know where the map stuff is in the pak files? I want to increase the number of map markers i can place.

[desert valve]

sadly the SOFMOD sucks ass in vanilla

[spark plinth]

Good news!!!

I moved the regular coli position.

it's even better with the cobra, I have no clue why they chose the LCO as the main red dot

that's so sexy

[livid spire]

does anyone even know what skif looks like lmao

[empty helm]

can see him at the end of the game iirc

[hallow sand]

Okay needing some help, I'm currently working on adding sites to guns that you can't (drowned AK is first right here) As you can see in the bottom left, I have a site sitting on the x4 spot.

Now my issue is, when I go to try and copy this mod, and change it, it doesn't work anymore. Why would my changes not stay in my other mod trying to replicate it?

[livid spire]

so were playing a character that we don't even know what he looks like , hm just like master chief

[empty helm]

at least in old Stalkers we could see our outfit in the inventory

[livid spire]

we can see our outfit in stalker 2 its just clothes tho

[hallow sand]

brb in in ten minutes though, ill check replies 😄

[twilit scroll]

can someone make a knife/weapon inspect button mod

there are def ones with an animation

at least for them

[livid spire]

also idk if anyone knows this but Skif in the beginning of the game has a unique outfit

[slim willow]

john stalker

ccon 117

[livid spire]

2 people already plan to make a mod like that when official mod tools come out

[empty helm]

I don't even remember, the game was so fucking long I almost forgot the beginning and why I'm in the zone

[livid spire]

How?, he says it in almost every cinematic.

[sage trail]

im working on that right now but its very difficult without modding tools

[livid spire]

"I'm trying to get pay back for my home"

[sage trail]

im trying my hand at UE4SS but i havent used it before so im relying on my coding skills lol

[empty helm]

I don't even remember any home, do we see it at the beginning of the game or just at the end ?

[livid spire]

like bro its just an apartment, you can get compensation for another apartment

[livid spire]

literally as soon as you press play and get through the long loading screen it shows skif running to his kitchen

[twilit scroll]

[empty helm]

I don't even remember lmao

[livid spire]

I got more news for you, I think I found a few good AR15 models that could be added to stalker 2 when that thing comes out

[crimson laurel]

damn u good son, doesnt need to be 100% accurate tho just crude way of delimiting zones is fine

[sage trail]

hell yeah let me see

[livid spire]

I don't have em rn, but I did pin point one good one, MW2019

[ripe flame]

Can we use assets from Fab in mods, BTW?

[livid spire]

Actually doesn't the newer MWs share the same models

[livid spire]

who tf knows a lot of people do it

[crimson laurel]

depends

it all depends on the seller

is doing mods personal or commercial work?

[ripe flame]

The license is same for every asset, no?

[crimson laurel]

no

[livid spire]

no def not

[sage trail]

just contact the seller easy

[livid spire]

lmao if you read the discription it'll let you know what the perms are

[crimson laurel]

u need to read each person way,

sometimes u can use for whatever but u have to credit them

sometimes can be uncredited, sometimes no commercial work

[ebon swan]

does anybody know of a mod that makes the viewmodel of the firearms farther away? i feel like the guns are just all up in my face

i wish a mod will come that makes u change the viewmodel like in cs2 😏

[empty helm]

yep viewmodel fov would be nice

[spark plinth]

working on this possibility.

yeah i feel like its needed for the scorpion type rifle

oh they removed the Test exe

i wish the a life extended dude would listen to his feedback and stop adding the dumbass stealth mod to his a life

[rare ruin]

is that not an optional file

like there's a version with it

[delicate jacinth]

no, he makes it mandatory in his mods

atleast the versions that i want to use

[fresh yew]

Use Shays Living Zone, no stealth mods

[crimson laurel]

for modders, dont forget about "How to make FOMOD installers for your mods: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/How_to_create_mod_installers" this is really necessary if you are making multiple versions! please its a QOL for mods

[delicate jacinth]

shay's has tons of issues with every update, im good

[crimson laurel]

documentate your mods as much as you can!

[fresh yew]

Hmm, I've been using the looters editon, seems fine.

[quaint hazel]

So anyone able to make a mod the increases the number of map markers we can place? There is a base game limit of 10 right now.

[crimson laurel]

i think gsc mentioned about increasing it

[quaint hazel]

I would try and do it but am clueless on how to do things X.X

[empty helm]

does the game have picture in picture for scopes ? I think I saw this in a trailer

[delicate jacinth]

not sure tbh

[crimson laurel]

no, otherwise the performance would be even worse, 10fps down sights

[tidal dragon]

what is he modding

[empty helm]

true

[tidal dragon]

is anyone working on the skill mod from anomaly?

[crimson laurel]

no mod that involves scripts in the game is being worked on (as far as i know)

[strange hearth]

Hey all, sorry if its been asked already, but can anyone point me in the direction of the unique AK Combatant cfg files? I'm rooting around through Fmodel and haven't found anything yet

[tidal dragon]

why not? whats the issue

[crimson laurel]

no sdk = dogshit to see if things are working as it should

[tidal dragon]

ok

[crimson laurel]

a lot of guess work

[tidal dragon]

did they say anything about when releasing the SDK>?

[crimson laurel]

no, but i would say after the hotfixes

they certainly dont want to work on a sdk update every time a hotfix comes out

and i wouldnt want either, waste of time

[tidal dragon]

that would take months then

the game has still numerous bugs

[crimson laurel]

two months maybe

[tidal dragon]

especially on the engine side

[crimson laurel]

max

idk

[tidal dragon]

there are various issues on the rendering pipeline of the game

[empty helm]

sorry to disturb again, does that mean you could theoretically move the laser devices too ?

[tidal dragon]

for example some items are not being rendered/spawning

[crimson laurel]

i would say they are going to update the game every week or so

[tidal dragon]

and they spawn moments later

[spark plinth]

mayhaps

[crimson laurel]

until the updates are like 1 month apart its not worth releasing the sdk

delete the laser devices pls

they look terrible

but keep the upgrade

[desert valve]

i made a mod for that

[merry mountain]

this creates areas and displays the points used to create the area, right now in image coords.
Now i need to convert to ingame location & make an export to file for the areas in some format that is easy to use in another script.
Probably json or whatever.
Then that script can go trough the files in Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\SpawnActorPrototypes\WorldMap_WP and as far as i can see, each contains one spawn. It then gets the X Y Z Location and looks in the regions.json in which region it is and then moves that file in a folder with the name of the region for example.

[crimson laurel]

yeah but the attachment is still there

[desert valve]

yeah, but that doesnt annoy me nearly as much as the damn laser itself

[crimson laurel]

what's wrong with it?

[empty helm]

Do you guys know why it's greyed out ? (FModel)

[whole yarrow]

Hey modders, I have a quick question. Anyone thats modded the older games would you say its easier/harder/about the same to mod this game

[crisp wing]

it doesnt take any sights even with the scope mount upgrade (Besides a pso even before the upgrade)

[crimson laurel]

probably encrypted or sum

[sage trail]

yes definitely encrypted

[desert valve]

you put in the AES key?

[empty helm]

I guess no ? I don't really understand the tool

[desert valve]

https://rentry.org/TravesS2moddingBible#making-mods

[empty helm]

thanks that was it

[rare ruin]

i haven't modded the older games but the tools you need can be a bit annoying. It has everything to do with .pak files which are kind of like zips, but you can't open them yourself without the help of tools.

[deep lintel]

Does anybody know where the armor textures are located?
I've skimmed through on FModel a few times but I can't seem to find them anywhere

[frank summit]

evening folks 👋 how goes the modding? has anyone been able to find the game's map texture?

[rare ruin]

you know, I thought it'd be easy to look for, I actually don't see it lmao

[deep lintel]

I know right?
I'm completely stumped lmao

[deep lintel]

I've been searching through all the textures for a while and I don't recall seeing the map anywhere
I found two textures called "zone_map" in props/unique/textures that I thought might be them, but it's not them

[rare ruin]

you know whats hilarious is that the backpack textures are literaly so easy to find

[frank summit]

Aw man 😦 are those the ones with the orange lines / place names? they're the best I was able to find

[deep lintel]

Nah
Just two random zone maps that look like some sort of recon/intel maps on a table or whiteboard somewhere

[frank summit]

ooh, interesting

nice find

[rare ruin]

these are highkey annoying to find, but here is the abbreviations

Stalker2/Content/_STALKER2/SkeletalMeshes/characters

[frank summit]

there's a world map on nexus mods but the guy just stuck together a load of screenshots. impressive effort, but still crazy the file, if one exists, still hasn't been found

[rare ruin]

Stalker2/Content/_STALKER2/SkeletalMeshes/characters

in characters, there is _fac _han _uni (face, hand, uniform?? idk)

the folders under are abbreviations of factions, bandits, dolg (duty), mercs, military, monolith, scientists, sel??, stalkers, svoboda (freedom), tec??, ward

[deep lintel]

Damn, good looking out
I'll have a look through them

Who would have thought textures would be in a folder for meshes?? lmao

[livid spire]

guys what version of UE5 is stalker 2?

[deep lintel]

5.1

[frank summit]

if you find the map there somehow I'll give ya a big ole kiss 😛

[rare ruin]

i had to look back at another mod I was trying but had to put on hold for @prime saddle

[deep lintel]

If I come across it at any point I'll let you know

[livid spire]

wait if ur looking for the merc gear

I ported it already

a long time ago

[livid spire]

:( it still didn't work

[deep lintel]

Do you have the AES key?

[livid spire]

No.

[rare ruin]

you may be out of luck

if this is what i think it is, it's a blueprint

[frank summit]

what a strange setup

[livid spire]

I LOVE YOU

where do I find the gear and the weapons 😭

[deep lintel]

Textures?

[livid spire]

nah i need models

[bold vapor]

i need a model too

[deep lintel]

Hmm
I'm not sure where they are
I've only been looking for textures so far

I want to find the models at some point too
I want to swap out the knife with a sausage (if I can figure out how lmao)

[bold vapor]

ctl+f "mesh"

well for that you can go into the knife.cfg or whatever and swap mesh= Knife to mesh= Sausage

pretty sure it's exactly just "Sausage"

[compact otter]

Well, so far the Stalker2Uproj works

[frank summit]

exciting

[livid spire]

someone help me find where the models are kept at

[compact otter]

@desert abyss

[livid spire]

oh wait found em

[frank summit]

curious to see if these scenes just look like chunks of the map - would you mind having a look at them via the uproj, @compact otter?

[crimson laurel]

are those blueprints any useful

[frank summit]

context in the msg I was replying to there

[compact otter]

It's useful because it lets you reference stuff in blueprints

[empty helm]

I made a mod !!... Kinda

[wide sonnet]

This looks promising, can you package too?

[slow lake]

Congrats! we just need a taller Skif now

[formal bronze]

From Narknon? already published the working version? Or is that your version

[compact otter]

Narknon's uproj

[formal bronze]

nice

mod community making their SDK I like it

[compact otter]

you need to compile UE5 though

[formal bronze]

bet that takes a while

[compact otter]

Took a couple hours

[sage trail]

how do i get UE4SS to recognize my lua scrips in the Mods folder? The debugger doesnt show it as enabled

[atomic jacinth]

which mod folder? UE4SS uses a different one than game mods.

[sage trail]

\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64\Mods

Ive tried to add:
EnableLua = true
LuaScriptsPath = Mods

to UE4SS-settings.ini under general with no luck

[atomic jacinth]

dunno, the defaults for mine load fine (followed debug/developer setup)

[sage trail]

did you create a folder for your lua or are they just in the Root Mods folder

[atomic jacinth]

did you add it to mods.txt?

[sage trail]

hold on let me try that

[atomic jacinth]

oh I just meant that I installed ue4ss and that's all I really needed

[sage trail]

ohh kk

let me try mods.txt

[desert valve]

is there an api description somewhere i.e. what can we do/access within lua scripts?

[merry mountain]

basiically every function in the game

Use the Live View to get an idea what classes and objects exists, what properties they have, what methods with what parameters they have etc

[vocal onyx]

what tool am i supposed to use to edit pak file values?

[desert abyss]

sweet. very useful

[vocal onyx]

i wanna change the mutant health values in maklanes better zone

[desert valve]

interesting, will have a look tomorrow! its late or early depending on your POV

im off to bed

[merry mountain]

very late, i need to get up again in 5 hours 😅

[desert valve]

lets go then

[silk citrus]

Any tips on where crash log is located?

Found it 🙂

[tidal dragon]

5.1.1

[tidal dragon]

what

[lapis harness]

I attempted to compile the source yesterday but kept getting errors. UE4Editor.exe built but when i tried to open it I got

Fatal error: [File:E:\UnrealEngine-CEEnd\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\Modules\ModuleManager.cpp] [Line: 1130] Unable to read module manifest from '../../../Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealEditor.modules'. Module manifests are generated at build time, and must be present to locate modules at runtime

I have just installed VS 2019 and followed the both docs, hopefully I will have some luck now

[compact otter]

Did you build the C++ project?

[empty helm]

what

[tidal dragon]

what is it

[empty helm]

it's crap, just made the russian red dot usable on the G37

kinda

[next cave]

has anyone figured out how to bound the number of copies the psy-dog can make

[crystal ether]

i built Stalker2Uproj but it wont package

[next cave]

the fact that it's currently infinite is a bad joke

[crystal ether]

with cooked asset

how to fix

[lapis harness]

This is building the modified engine which is required for that stalker project https://github.com/narknon/UnrealEngine-CEEnd/tree/STLKR I'm not sure if I have some dependency issue or what, but retrying with VS 2019 now.

[compact otter]

Yes, I built it with VS2022

But you also need to build the C++ project in the uproject repository as well

[lavish lichen]

Anything interesting in the project files? I’ve been digging around there’s so much to look through

[lapis harness]

Ahh, I'll try that, thanks 😛

[keen nimbus]

Anyone found where to increase the map marker limit from lousy 10?

[compact otter]

There wont be anything interesting. It's just stubbed out so you can reference things in blueprints

[little sluice]

How do I export the highest quality version of a model? When I use FModel to export I only get the LOD low-quality models

[crystal ether]

i want mule work in this

[grave kite]

i know one yall mfers workin on a manual reload mod, who is it

[tidal yew]

Wishing for someone to figure out the encyption/decryption method for .sav files so I can clear my death counter

[torn haven]

id rather have a death counter in a stats page, i mean there’s achievements for headshoting 100 times and stuff so a stat page should be possible

[tidal yew]

that too, although deaths shouldnt carry over from your other slots/campaigns

[spark plinth]

awesome, I've made tons of progress on attachments

[lapis harness]

@compact otter I got it working

[prime saddle]

Oh, you're back to trying to get it to work?

[haughty yew]

anyone working on flashlight distance increase?

or gun mounted flashlights?

[eternal root]

What GAMMA addon uses Bone ID's and bone positions in it's scripts?

[little sluice]

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

[spark plinth]

@empty helm These are all the ones I got to work.

[torpid halo]

@spark plinth Have you tried doing anything with the normal collim sight for the m4?

[winged hemlock]

Nope

Not worth wasting time

[spark plinth]

What do you mean?

[torpid halo]

the collim that is attachable to some smgs, the one that is on the sofmod, have you tried using the non-unique one on the m4?

[spark plinth]

This one?

[torpid halo]

yee

[spark plinth]

I haven't been able to make it work yet.

working on it

[torpid halo]

the sight picture is wonky, I don't know if that is something that you have been able to figure out how to edit?

[spark plinth]

[torpid halo]

what about that sight picture tho? 👀 @spark plinth

[spark plinth]

working on it

[spark plinth]

Best I can do for now without editing further files I will get to better sights pictures later.

[torpid halo]

@spark plinth That is where I got too as well, works well with the variation of the sight you can find on the sofmod unique

[spark plinth]

I don't know how to do that. I'm here trying to mod the core files.

[earnest wolf]

I can’t wait to get my hands on that mod!

[spark plinth]

which one?

[earnest wolf]

Yours.

[spark plinth]

ah, trying my best here

[earnest wolf]

It seems to be going well.

[spark plinth]

I posted the mod for testing and such. ❤️

[crude heart]

Does anyone know what the ukrainian/development name for the spark faction is

Found spark I believe

They're shuffled under the sci label with the other ones

Time to clearskyify

[cyan stirrup]

I've seen them use stuff from /dol as well

dol and sci meshes from what I've seen

dol == duty

[crude heart]

It goes to show how lesser important the other factions are to this game that they have so few assets

It's pretty much ward, spark, and mono are the main characters

I'll have to catalogue all the spark armor diffuses

[cyan stirrup]

If you post that somewhere lmk !

[crude heart]

@cyan stirrupDid you have the same idea?

I'll start cataloguing the diffuses somewhere later and post it here

[spark plinth]

That's it for the AR416

[unreal glacier]

does anyone happen to know what the last update from this morning changed?

[winged hemlock]

Devkit removed

[unreal glacier]

That sounds bad

[vital coyote]

i dont unfortunatly but it is up in the chat somewhere

[hexed bane]

is it possible to make mod that will show effect of energy drink or meds that you used?

like some timer or something

[vital coyote]

super needed ^

[deep ridge]

Hey I got my UE5 project packaged but I am missing .uasset, and .uexp and i am not sure why any help would be hot

You're amazing thank you!

[halcyon jackal]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I want to get into modding this game but not sure where to start. What tools are a must that I should look into?

[vital coyote]

has most of what you need in the begining 🙂 https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1312154196383895702

will be adding more to it soon

[halcyon jackal]

Thanks! 🙂

[vital coyote]

ayy nw just after you surpass me with your chad ass modding skills lmk if there are anythings i should add

[smoky stirrup]

first time booting FModel "installer". can someone tell me what folder to direct it to?

i only ghet Fortnite and valorant options and stalker is nowhere in the dropdowns

[white ermine]

anyone working on "PIP" scops?

[grave kite]

anyone have the unpacked en localizations by chance?

need to snoop a LocalizationSID

[vital coyote]

all the scopes are 3d?

[vital coyote]

[smoky stirrup]

thanks ill look. very hard to figure out how to mod these non pak files. sometimes it feels the info is being .... HIDDEN 😄

[vital coyote]

yeah i have how to pack and unpack .pak on there but im still not sure on uces and the other one for texture stuff

[smoky stirrup]

i was guessing Fmodel was an app that unpaks the whole game

[vital coyote]

you can see all the files in the game and rip em out

select all and press load

[smoky stirrup]

very nice

[vital coyote]

shift click and ctrl click like others, will load your mods too tho

after ctrl shif f to find. can also see textures and meshes if you double click

[smoky stirrup]

ill check your bible now and be back most likely

[vital coyote]

o7

[smoky stirrup]

lol discord still have no "back" button

ok prob was i was trying to use FModel on a not so legit form of the game. it works on my legit steam version

[vital coyote]

nahh worked on both legle and notso legal for me x)

must be "where its from" lol ik installs could be diff

[smoky stirrup]

i just didnt want to mess with the good files. my net is about is slow is it comes and downloading is a bear

ill try again later. something changed in the installer. this last time gave me stalker options. kinda strange cuz i tried is like 20 times b4

and the intaller crashed every time b4 too

will bookmark your tut for sure. thanks a lot

[atomic jacinth]

is there a way to noclip with UE4SS installed?

[little sluice]

After reexporting this 3 times it now inexplicably works even though I changed nothing. Unreal Engine man...

[spark plinth]

What did you do?

[little sluice]

Just texture edits, combining the monolith tan handguard with the base gun, next I might make the stock and grip green and maybe change the logos

[spark plinth]

I’ll be adding new attachments later on. Might hit you up to learn how to get textures working.

[sinful cypress]

Someone has an idea which .cfg triggers the NPC voicelines during a fight?
Especially the "I am hiding over here" .... :p

[vital coyote]

i like the way you think xD that shits so cheesy

[sand parrot]

Anything new with modding?

[spark plinth]

It’s popping in

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1309526198833119303

[sand parrot]

Ehh, nothing crazy yet.

[spark plinth]

That’s what you meant. Give it a bit of time. And hope the devs don’t do anything too crazy to break our mods.

[orchid wharf]

In near future can we get EFT type Healing System in STALKER 2 ??

[vital coyote]

dudes working on making the scopes compatable with more guns that shits pretty dope

[sand parrot]

That’s about the only thing, not a enough for me to boot up tho

[spark plinth]

Get what now? That’s nice and all but the coding on that is going to be insane.

[vital coyote]

fast travel mod, mutant loot, faction identification are some more cool projects off the top of my head

[sand parrot]

Mainly waiting for things like the mosin

[spark plinth]

I’m looking forward A-life mods to be successful.

[vital coyote]

^

[orchid wharf]

Or a UGP coming to stalker 2 like magzines and stuf

[vital coyote]

that to need to try shays only tested for a bit my didnt have a preformance hit at all

and my cpu sucks ass

update broke it or something wasnt to sure at the time so i just pulled it gotta see if they updated

[hexed bane]

man i miss all the info on factions, artifacts, people in pda as in previous games
