I'm 3/4 of Ward playthrough and your suggestion sounds interesting but as Ace said I don't know if it's worth to Frankenstein my game

zenith forum
#

Yeah, I was already seeing issues with their looting behavior, though some new features did work, though to what extent I'm unsure.

#

Also getting crash after every death because one of Desolation updates so maybe it's better to start a new game nevertheless

zenith forum
#

Damn o7

strong coyote
#

We got a big discussion about that crash because I was not alone with this but without DeadlyStrike (Desolation creator) it's impossible to fix it

zenith forum
#

It seems like there hasn't been any updates on his nexus in some time. I saw OXA had a variant but it still depended on the base files.

Ah, I see, very unfortunate. 😦 I liked the direction it was going, it was definitely going towards a more hardcore survival style. Just even the addition of random junk, irradiated and spoiled items, and repair stuff, it adds a lot to the base experience.

#

Has anyone experimented with model swapping anything yet?

hazy ivy
tidal yew
hazy ivy
#

so the material is the link between the textures and the meshes

#

I don't know a whole lot about how they function, but they can't be created in UE5.1 without whatever changes GSC made to their build

tidal yew
#

Damn, now I'm tracking.

hazy ivy
#

i mean it's not a definite 'no' - I only know enough about Unreal to do what I need to do

#

Furthest I got was importing a 'new' mesh - it was an early attempt to add the unique attachments as standard ones, and I extracted the mesh from the Margach sight and created a new item from it

#

but it had a greyscale checkerboard 'missing material' appearance and I couldn't figure out how to work around it

#

now it might be a different story if you're just swapping one item's mesh for another, but in terms of creating 'new' items in addition to existing ones, I think it's not possible right now

tidal yew
#

The problem for me is I don't know a damn thing about unreal either, just how to texture and model. Even just getting a texture replacement in game was a learning experience for me since I had to figure out a way to get the model into substance painter.

#

I'll look into trying to get the mesh from the knife and see where I can go from there following your footsteps a bit

hazy ivy
tidal yew
#

Yeah I've gotten there so far. I was using the psk format to get it into blender, then export as fbx into substance. I just need to figure out how to get the right properties of the model for importing into the game. When I looked at my model in fmodel it didn't have nearly as many lines in comparison to the vanilla game knife

Hello, I'm back

#

What's this I read in the dev notes about a beta SDK?

#

I've been gone for... 4-5 months? Would anyone kindly write a concise summary of what's now possible?

#

Okay, I'll put it another way. When I left, refurling was taking off, everyone was excited about an accidentlely leaked exe, and S2 modders were liberated. So what's up?

#

🙂

#

Hi Ace

void owl
#

Most modders are burnt out and fed up with GSCs updates lol

fluid monolith
#

Thank you! How are you doing my friend?

#

Sorry to

#

hear that

void owl
fluid monolith
#

It says it was "in beta" with some "modders"

void owl
#

Not yet

fluid monolith
#

That's about as clear as an emission

#

I see

#

Well, better go back and maintain my current mod. They must have added, or changed some voiceline tags

#

Nothing advanced there. Just very boring

#

Plus, I've still got a bunch of SFX for our project, for the future, that need mastered in a studiio

void owl
#

Yeah they changed a bit how chatty enemies are

fluid monolith
#

Damn them

#

I'll shut them up

They made them less chatty, and I saw they added some new variables to the gile

i have to come clean and mention there is a 2nd list with more active modders since u where away for a while that i also forwarded to molit incase his team lead said 13 is too much

I'm running into an issue getting this 416 replacer to work in game, it's just showing the vanilla texture. Unlike the USP there's no texture folder for the 416 which I think might be the problem.

image.png
void owl
#

doesnt have its own texture folder lol. so much for consistency from gsc

tidal yew
#

That’s where I put it, but it’s not replacing :/

void owl
#

Should be it. The material assets references it as its texture

tidal yew
#

Well shit.. Thanks for taking a look. I’ll mess more with it tomorrow and see if I can get something to budge

void owl
#

You can take a look at other mods which are replacing those textures

tidal yew
#

I poked into one, but it was from a previous update when the folder was referenced as 416 instead of m16. I guess they changed that?

void owl
#

seems like some people got ahead of us and made community letter to GSC about the enhanced edition

tidal yew
void owl
#

not going on that site until i know if its legit lol

tidal yew
#

That’s my point, some of my files were uploaded there.

void owl

this is the website

i wouldnt bother myself too much

doesnt seem like theyre getting any traffic. last mod was uploaded on 6th december

Nah, it was the .com one.

again theyre super outdated

the version that they reuploaded of my mod is from december

they do get some new uplads tho

yeah you might be shit out of luck. I dont think whoever runs this oage is gonna give a fuck

How does one go about attributing a custom weapon upgrade to Technicians? I've tried referring to other mods that do the same but I can't seem to get any technician (including the AllTechnicianNPC) to have it available. Here's what I currently have.

No matter what tech I bring it to, the upgrade is always greyed out as "This technician cannot install this upgrade." Is there a specific way I need to insert my custom upgrade into the arrays of `NPCPrototypes.cfg`?
#

The effects properly display, as well as the localization.

hazy ivy
#

tech upgrades are generated at game start

forest rune
#

What about the XStartQuestNodeBySID OXATechRefresh command from your mod?

#

tl;dr- making a custom unique weapon pack that will feature new upgrades, mainly balanced around MHM

hazy ivy
#

that's a workaround that uses the same questnode structure as the one that adds the Faust psy helmet upgrade mid-game

#

then you trigger the custom questnode with that command

forest rune
#

Right, right.

#

Even after starting a new game, the upgrade is still unavailable though.

#

for clarity:

#

|| yes, im aware the 9x18 caliber doesnt have a RIP variant, im just dumb||

modest saffron
#

are changes made to difficultyPrototypes.cfg processed when changed? or only at game start?

tidal yew
#

Do you mean at the start of a new game or every time you load the save by game start?

modest saffron
#

yeah if i make changes mid game, do they reflect ingame when i load the game up?

tidal yew
#

As with most cfg’s it should be every time you load the game, I think.

modest saffron
#

well then, im doing something wrong lol, back to the drawing board!

tidal yew
#

You’ll have to wait for the more experienced lads to reply, I’ve only done editing to ai spawns and weapon configs.

modest saffron
#

all good, thanks for your help 🙂

void owl
modest saffron
#

ah thank you 🙂

#

yeah last night i seem to have made a mess of my mod swhen id had a few too many, have to roll back my changes

#

twas pullin my hair out in frustration today

delicate basin
#

will there be a mod that will make bots a bit more realistic in the form of gunfights? like they are using their weapons as they were at 100%, no jamming, no degraded stats, but when you kill em and loot, their weapons are usually falling apart.

hazy ivy
#

The weapon degradation is just a balancing mechanic so every kill isn't a cash pinata

delicate basin
#

oh ok thanks

slim moss
#

im having issues getting the start command to work it keeps saying its an unknown command? im entering it word for word and im using simple modloader. ciggarettes crash my game and medkits, aside the basic (expired) ones do nothing

hazy ivy
#

Install sounds broken, could you post your mods folder?

slim moss
#

wait oxa goes into mods or paks?

hazy ivy
#

mods, that's the issue

slim moss
#

im using prototype with simple mod loader

hazy ivy
#

reduced repair cost is incompatible

#

as is reasonable weapon degradation

#

and probably the carry weight one too

slim moss
#

mutant loot and larger inverntory window are fine?

hazy ivy
#

not 100% certain but they should be ok

slim moss
#

also will i have to restart? i just did the side quest with the ninth?

#

i did start a new save after "incorrectly" installing it.

hazy ivy
#

I'd advise starting again

#

I've no idea what changes will take effect and which ones won't if it's installed weird

#

and some changes are processed at new game start

slim moss
#

it crashed..

#

on start

hazy ivy
#

give it a couple attempts, sometimes its temperamental on first couple loads

slim moss
#

is this correct?

#

it loaded but all the text was fine names

#

and i didnt have the right loading screen

hazy ivy
#

is simple modloader in Paks?

slim moss
#

yes

hazy ivy
#

ok you'll need to run the Simple Modloader activation command

#

mod add /Game/Mods/OXA_Prototype/ModActor.ModActor_C

#

and delete the localization files from Mutant Loot

#

also I believe SML only initializes when a game is loaded, so the menu might look normal regardless

slim moss
#

i had a stalekr prototype menu?

#

ok ok lemme try this

#

so
start game
run command
restart?

hazy ivy
#

yea see if that gets the menu back

#

although with the way SML works, I'm not sure if it will or not

#

either way if you start a new game and open your inventory, a repair menu should appear on the left

#

if it does, you're all good

slim moss
#

what about the crashing when it compiles shaders?

hazy ivy
#

I've had a couple users report that after 2-3 attempts it just starts working

#

i think its due to the way unreal caches assets or something

slim moss
#

IT WORKED!! MENU AQUIRED

hazy ivy
#

ayyyyyyy

slim moss
#

ok lemme get through the tutorial

hazy ivy
#

if you open your inventory

#

do you see the repair thingy?

slim moss
#

ii do, but now this came up while looting and wont go away

hazy ivy
#

lol Shift+T

#

when you press T on an NPC it identifies their faction

#

but because it's in development, I left the debug HUD in so if players find an unidentified NPC (red dot) they can send me that info and I can fix it

#

but that all looks good, means SML is doing its job

slim moss
#

scientific kit isnt healing

hazy ivy
#

btw the original bandages and medkits are useless now, I need to put some useable med supplies in the prologue though

slim moss
#

has green tag. new description but doesn't heal

hazy ivy
#

well that ain't right

#

green one?

slim moss
#

yes

hazy ivy
#

I'll take a look

slim moss
#

armny kits too btw

hazy ivy
#

btw are you thewanderer2277 on nexus

slim moss
#

yes!

hazy ivy
#

haha figured, way too similar an issue

slim moss
#

yeah i posted there before found the sub thread in discord

#

oh and yes cigs did crash my game when used from inventory but didn't work from hotkey

#

like at all

hazy ivy
#

yea the lack of animations means certain things can't be used from hotkey

#

cigarettes, repair kits

slim moss
#

undertstood but the the crash?

hazy ivy
#

are they still crashing?

slim moss
#

heavnt found any

hazy ivy
#

should be ok now, the crash was because the game hadn't correctly loaded all of OXA's assets

#

but now everything's in the right spot it should be ok

slim moss
#

and the non working medkits?

hazy ivy
#

a fun mystery for me to solve

slim moss
#

whats the command for god mode? theres no good medicals items and im stuck

hazy ivy
#

XCreateItemInInventoryByID OXACons_MedkitT1 0 3 1 |
XCreateItemInInventoryByID OXACons_Tourniquet 0 3 1 |

#

those should keep you going for a bit

#

dunno the command for god mode off the top of my head

slim moss
#

trail mix crashed me

hazy ivy
#

Fixed in latest update, should be available in a few minutes

slim moss
#

awesome!

#

cant equip reapir tools

hazy ivy
#

Info on repair tools is in the Quick Start Guide

slim moss
#

yeah my repairt max is still 80, ive played a bit, tried to use repair stuffs but its not working right

slim moss
hazy ivy
#

just tested it and it's working fine at my end

slim moss
#

i had a fort 221 at 45 percent and it didnt get repaired but the widget said it did

slim moss
#

should i reenter the actgivation command?

hazy ivy
#

XCreateItemInInventoryByID OXACons_MedkitT2 0 1 1
XCreateItemInInventoryByID OXACons_MedkitT3 0 1 1

#

spawncodes for the new versions

#

if they work then its just the leftover ones that spawn in world that are an issue, I'll be swapping them out eventually

# merry mountain idk if you have tried the demo, but road to vostok is garbage

Ok, what game from scratch have you made? What assets? Models? Make? Isn’t garbage at all and is in fact extremely impressive.

It’s also in the top ten “most wish listed games” on steam. So when it releases and ships 2+ million units won’t be “garbage” then either.

If you can’t craft anything why then tear others down? Shame.

I’d love to see someone as extremely talented as Gr0k make a stalker style game and it ship 2+ million units. He definitely deserves that kind of payday. IMHO*

atomic lance

Making a game is completely different than managing and tweaking a modpack kekl

arctic lion
# merry mountain idk if you have tried the demo, but road to vostok is garbage

its fine for what it is. if you follow the progression in discord, there is definitely things to look forward to. the game is literally in it's infancy and better than most other early access of the same genre. and it's a singleplayer experience with raw survival elements vs other extraction shooters that turn it into a arcadey experience which aint it for me personally chief. give it time.

I've been hearing that modding is being killed off and we'll have to pay subscription fees for big titty elf mods for 10 years now, still waiting

i really hope its that site with the maga hat sonic mod and the one that stops me from seeing a medieval man kissing another medieval man and getting bricked up beyond all belief

tribal pond
#

what a rush it must be to be a top modder on that site

#

unfortunately I don't think nexus is easily replaced. most other modding platforms are trying to make modding simple and frictionless (like steam workshop) and they deliberately don't implement features that non-casual users would find useful

#

if you want decent search filters or the ability to search through thousands of comments while troubleshooting, it's really just nexus

#

not that nexus will certainly need to be replaced. it's still early to be too doomer about this

hazy ivy
#

that's the thing though, there's no competition for Nexus in it's current state because there's no need for competition. Nexus does a decent job, and whilst it's far from perfect, it's more than good enough.

It's not a game with endless replayability, so it's unfair to say popular mods have fallen off when the playerbase has, as is expected of most single player games, moved on

Hiya, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but with the mod kit for Stalker 2 apparently being released soon, I thought now would be the right time to post it.

I want to bring back the IL86 from Stalker 1 into Stalker 2. The screenshot is my model, as you can see it's a bit of an "updated" version (loosely) based on the newest version of the real thing.
The model itself is about 40,000 triangles and uses 4k textures - I targeted those figures to try and match the models in S2.

However, I am no good at animating, so I'd like to collaborate with an animator to get it up and running in Stalker 2.

If this is the wrong place to post something like this, or you know a better place to try, please let me know.

So, does anyone want to team up for this little project?

if im running a rtx 2060 for example

strong coyote
#

But I recommend you to check few of these mods from nexus and choose the best one for you

#

I ended with Ultra+ mods (it acutally makes the game look better and fixes many of the performance issues, but need to be tweaked carefully since certain options could tank your fps down)

cold bobcat

hmm interesting

thank you i will try it

@strong coyote you alive ?

whats up?

cold bobcat

well im playing around with the mods and stuff

#

if i want to use ultra + i have to delete the one you sent right?

#

i cant use them both

strong coyote
#

ultra+ is recommended to leave it alone

#

with no engine.ini or mods that changes the optimizations

cold bobcat
#

and is the dynamic weather ovewrhaul nice to pair with this

#

any idea

strong coyote
cold bobcat
#

not a strong one now rtx 2060

strong coyote
#

install ultra+ menager for sure

#

and then tweak some settings

#

dont do crazy stuff, leave most of them on game/standard

#

and dont use ray reconstruction - it looks really good but it is very demanding. Use temporal denoiser instead

#

also dont forget to update your dlss via swapper to the newest version and use preset K in nvidia panel

#

game will become much more cleaner and sharper

cold bobcat
#

and the dynamic weather overhaul do you use it

strong coyote
#

one of the best mods for s2

recommend it anytime

"The size of the mod kit is a result of the in-game assets being uncompressed for the mod makers. It's a big game, and the assets are many, resulting in a considerable size of the download. The Zone Kit is currently in phase one, so we'll explore the opportunities to optimize its size (if possible) in the future. we launched the Zone Kit as Phase 1, because we want to develop it together with Mod Makers. It already has a lot of features, but still this is Phase 1. On Phase 2 there will be even more things to do with the Zone via the Zone Kit." - GSC on reddit (if anyone missed it)

Unfortunately the size is pretty much unavoidable - The files aren't just compressed like they are in a zip, they're converted entirely. Some can be extracted, but others lose massive amounts of data which is only required at the development stage. A good example is blueprints; in their raw form they're nodes of C++, but once packaged they become machine code and are impossible to reverse.

Can we adjust the brightness of the outside when we are inside?

# mental zealot Why do developers ignore this?

It's a work around for their real world lighting scene, unfortunately the version of auto exposure used in UE 5.1 is one of the worst, if you where to fully remove auto exposure(eye adaptation as well) the world would white out due to the intensity of the lighting.

#

still investigating workarounds, but that mod you linked does a pretty decent job with engine commands

#

considering the size of the SDK, they might as well just sell it as an SSD with it preinstalled

Yea I feel they're leaning way too hard on the whole 'add new stuff' aspect of modding. Sure, new weapons are cool, but Stalker didn't become incredibly popular amongst modders because you could add new guns. People want new mechanics, new features, new things to actually keep you engaged with the game, and the only reasonable method of doing that is via blueprint modding. Yet we have an SDK that's less capable at blueprint modding than a UE5.1 build thrown together by some guy who didn't know what a json file was 6 months ago.

I still have to google how an OR gate works

I can never remember what it does with two 1s

If not I do my self Smilers

Idk who thought the new game experience should give the player a 7.62x54 rifle with an optic right out the gate...

I also managed to play with it off but there is still a switch in brightness when u exist tavern in zalissya

And i couldnt remove that

I wanted to do fps “mod” but i never managed to disable these 2D LODs, worst case i could see both 3d tree and 2d version of it at the same time

yeah lol i have some but theyre old

i can tell some differences with the muzzle flashes but not so much with the impact particle vfx

Impact PArticle VFX is barely noticeable atm. Just a cloud of smoke for a second or so, even less for some surfaces

stark jay
#

so is there a consensus on where new mods are going to go now? Pretty much everyone generally hates steam workshop, and i don't know anything about mod.io

or are we all sticking with nexus

arctic lion
#

I mean, it's pretty simple. If you want modularity stick with nexus. if you want simplicity go with steam workshop/zone kit.

#

you can mix them, just make sure they don't overwrite something or other 🤷

stark jay
#

i mean more like what's the generally agreed upon platform for MOST mods, like how moddb was for old stalker

spice smelt
#

Hi Haxorus big fan

spice smelt
#

Because of Workshop limitations though, I'm pretty sure Nexus is still going to be the primary place for more complex modding

#

so basically, IMO - Nexus first, Workshop/mod.io second

#

although judging by the numbers on my own mod, Workshop is still winning in terms of download because of its simplicity

#

Also, since you're here does that mean SCAR-H Redux will move to Stalker 2 now? 😆

#

man I can't wait, you're going to be a legend here if you upload anything* early

minor cedar
#

now we're just missing F34R here and Stalker weapon modding will start off explosively kekl

summer silo
#

I like how someone on reddit said people wanting achievements with mods installed is a "skill issue"

#

Claiming people want to make the game easier and keep getting trophies

#

Bitch most modders are masochists that make stalker games harder kekw

#

Give it a month and we'll have Misery 2

#

Not sure about mod.io, but steam workshop has no version control or file control for users.

It is inadequate for complex modlists.

rich kernel
#

steam workshop is garbage here yes

#

also steam workshop limits gog and unreal store users because they cant download mods

#

i think internally steam workshop does have version control, it's just valve hid it from users?

crisp bolt
rich kernel
#

might be just replacing files, i dunno

crisp bolt
#

If using cfgs with refrul etc.

rich kernel
#

steam uses steamapi's functions to mount folders i believe?

#

i dont have emulator at hand to tell you exactly how it works

crisp bolt
#

Actually it places it in a workshop folder but gsc told the game to search this file path the same way it does the game you can essentially place a pak anywhere with or after the exe and the game would read the pak

rich kernel
#

if it looks in workshop folder, the implementation is incorrect

#

other is pretty much standard ue behavior

crisp bolt
#

Steam api mounts it yes but the game reads it from the paths it has access to read. And the mount is in the workshop folder you can place a pak in there and the game will throw a fit saying it's out of version, and prompts you to reload, which is the api control, but it still loads the pak

#

At least this is behavior I saw when... Breaking the sdk smile_degtyarev

windows doesnt feature that level of isolation for win32 apps

im always doing shit that is painful the only painful thing is going to be installing it on HDD due to my ssd only being 500gb (someone mentioned it would be good to have bundles instead for people that only work with scripts etc)

Yeah Grok mentioned that, would be ideal... Don't know if we'll get that tho lol

we can hope for phase 2 of sdk

But realistically you would never do that, but if you do manage to load that. When you try and load a chunk if you think your section square on the partition is small, think smaller lol and try that.

i used to run UE5 to test some stuff in the past and im interested in mod creation anyway so i might as well yolo it and make my pc suffer a bit more (not like i havent pushed it past the limits many times already, including a 4.4GHz validation on my cpu running 1.4v+)

crisp bolt
#

Idk what texture resolution they have it in, but it's far beyond 4k

indigo beacon
#

also ig when it comes to storage im no stranger to huge filesizes, from arma3 modding (500gb of mods) to skyrim exceeding 600gb total lmao

#

tho my pc hates me doing ANYTHING other than installing LOL

indigo beacon
#

god i fucking hate HDD's and how they go from 60mb/s to 1mb/s write outta nowhere and then refuse to go faster again...

tidal dragon
#

its literally the difference of operating with sequence data and randomized data

#

SSD may not go as dip to 1 MB/s but compared to their sequencial data, its still a massive drop

indigo beacon
#

yeah i hate it. it ran 500-600mbit write for first 70gb and then tanked to 5mbit with constant full drops to 0 lol

#

also writing mbit as thats what epic is showing for whatever reason

#

still i have the same thing with steam and others so yeah

#

i need to buy a 2nd m.2 ssd in future as hdd is just too painfully slow unless you have that shit under a big raid array

thick widget
indigo beacon
#

at least they fixed the aimbot through near impossible to see through grids lol

rich kernel
#

plus ssd doesn't have problems with speed degradation tied to place of heads on platter

#

its slc cache to actual storage speed and thats it

#

ssds do have issues when it stops responding during trim operations

#

but generally its not that bad

subtle beacon
#

Anyone been successful in adding completely new inventory items yet using ZoneKit?

bronze burrow
#

How about a mod that adds a goal - Earn money for a new house?
All because the house was destroyed.
Yes, the game uses coupons as currency. But add a currency exchanger and that's it.
No difficult choices. HOUSE. The Zone took the house. So we'll take the money from the Zone.

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before or is posted elsewhere but, with the news of mod tools for stalker 2 is there any GAMMA for it planned in the future?

arctic lion
#

#

grok confirmed

summer silo
#

Right now Grok doesn't want to make GAMMA for stalker 2 because it doesn't have same modding potential as Anomaly

wispy oak
#

Are we able to add animations? Or is that not a possibility yet

summer silo
#

SDK allows new weapons yes

#

People just need to figure it out

#

But rn apparently having two blueprint mods at once breaks the game kekw

drifting tapir
#

Why do you even want GAMMA 2.

Gamma is great as it is. But it will always be here: in the best case scenario stalker 2 modding should break free of gamma, do things that cant be done in gamma -- not try to replicate it.

Gamma is a modpack of a modpack of a modpack: both its unparalled depth and design+technical challenges come from this. S2 is a clean slate.

How is s2 modding going, how restrictive is it?

are we able to change base systems or add new systems, or are we limited to new guns and items
