it takes a lot of work but finally they're once again united

[coral sable]

The camp of the frog hunter

[trail crystal]

Yes, it's very difficult to find a balance. You all the time have to sacrifice one for the other. After all, the pursuit of perfection is infinite and ideals are dynamic and change over time.

[cunning acorn]

wow bro how did you get the game to look like this?

[coral sable]

Farming Simulator

[stuck bison]

Thank you, it's just vanilla Gamma with the Gamma reshade

[stuck bison]

Dann where did you found this? I wanna drive around in one of these too😂

[coral sable]

Darkscape entrance, from Cordon, dunno if its random or not, but i was there lol

[quasi orchid]

random cars, but should always have one

[stuck bison]

Do I have to have fuel with me ?

[coral sable]

Nop, just enter, press "caps lock" and drive

[stuck bison]

Ok thx

[dark brook]

[trail crystal]

Last night I tried to reduce the glow a little and find a balance. You can try it.

[outer grove]

Ugh, my goodness.. the bloom, it's awful..

[willow shale]

thank you friend, it was definitely a good improvement. I will test it further with other weather condition as I play. Could you share your user.ltx by any chance? I am curious about some shader parameters. Also I guess you have dynamic tonemapper disabled?

here is a nice shot

[trail crystal]

Np, I'm testing it myself. Yes, the dynamic tonemap disabled via MCM. Sure, I adjusted some parameters in the user.ltx file to the recommendations of Expedition and other well-known graphical addons.

[willow shale]

thanks a lot!!

[trail crystal]

Np. ^^

I took a bunch of screenshots too.

Didn't mean to be a spammy guy, but I liked them all in one way or another.

[clever badger]

nice ones, but i do not prefer that high bloom because of the visibility ://

[willow shale]

I think it depends on the weather mod one uses also, I think he use the majestic weathers which I found, for the little I have tried, too bright and flat in tones

check my screenshots with abnormal mod, I am using the same presets we just shared and user.ltx params unless he has changed something himself

@trail crystal inventory fixed as well, no more color bleeding in icons. you're the wizard

[trail crystal]

Don't exaggerate my merits, it wasn't such a huge deal. ^^ I hope there are still some glare effects left.

P.S. Btw, great gear!

[clever badger]

really good

[trail crystal]

Beautiful skies!

[trail crystal]

Yes, I mentioned that I use this weather - #╟📸screenshots message.
Our screenshots with one reshade preset perfectly illustrate the importance of the other setups.

[willow shale]

well he has ramped up the bloom

maybe give a try with abnormal, it's more eery and I think fits the anomalous nature of the zone

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/abnormal-weather08 you only have to put the gamedata content (repack it as an addon yourself), ignore the rest of his stuff

it overrides everything in gamma default: weathers and skies - so just put it at the bottom don't need to disable anything

[trail crystal]

I've played with similar gloomy textures and weather, for example, Misery is very atmospheric. I know a lot of people love it and I share this, but it's not the original Stalker atmosphere. But there are reasons for other solutions: I've fond memories of the lighting from Stalker CS and the greens from SoC. Although CS was terribly buggy and crashed and was not optimized, it had progress in shaders, lighting, the atmosphere of the game was lush, vivid and sunny (on clear days), not without gloomy moments, of course. The Majestic weather FX and the Golden Autumn texture pack perfectly replicate this experience and feel like a modernized atmosphere from Stalker CS.

[trail crystal]

Alright, either way, I'll keep this mod on my radar and when I want to try something dark, I'll try that one.

[willow shale]

sure, no pressure 🙂

[trail crystal]

I looked at the screenshots on the moddb page and have to correct myself about this addon - very reminiscent of the original SoC.

[trail crystal]

Is this the only weather addon you use? In the description of the addon it says about the 'Persistent weather'.

[willow shale]

I just use this one, basically I unpack the gamedata content from his archive and repack it as an addon, like in the picture

I put it right at the bottom, it will overwrite anyway skies redux and gamma weathers so you don't need to disable any stuff

[trail crystal]

I already have these two disabled due to requirements of the Majestic weather FX.

[willow shale]

it is not perfect though, is still in beta. for instance sometimes during blowout the sky will be in low resolution like this. But to be honest I have seen this occur with other weathers or maybe gamma weather so maybe is a bug in anomaly itself

[trail crystal]

I just meant that you do not use other weather addons recommended by the author. Since I'm an modder myself, I understand what needs to be done with the gamedata, but thanks for the effort. 😅

[trail crystal]

Oh... I didn't have those. But I'll assume that this can be replaced by other textures from other weather addons.

[willow shale]

but overtime I got to experience these kind of weathers (I was using Project Quantum rehade)

[willow shale]

well it not that frequent to bother me much, also in blowout most of the time you are inside and it only happens during the transitions and in the middle of the blowout phase so there must be some bug there or maybe bad texture. I have no idea how to fix it, I suppose one can swap some texture but I don't know which one.

[trail crystal]

Yeah, but it is so odd that within the same addon, some screenshots show a beautiful sky, and some as you gave an example. But thanks for the heads up, I'll see what I can do.

[trail crystal]

Very scenic screenshots, but too much blur for me, while playing I like sharp and crisp image.

[willow shale]

those screenshot are from specific monent of the day, sometime the day would start bright and whiteish and gradually shift, for instance these screenshots were taken few hours apart

[willow shale]

the blurriness was from project quantum reshade not from the weather mod

[trail crystal]

I know, I know. That is exactly what I meant.

[willow shale]

I didn't really like it either but I could not fix it and I could not find another reshade that gave me those colors tones

[torpid mauve]

damn looks good

mind sharing the reshade?

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-punch-markiplier-punch-attack-fight-gif-23206537

[trail crystal]

Looks definitely good as well.
Btw, I looked at the textures of the blowout, possibly someone will correct me, but they seem to be fine.

[willow shale]

the reshade is from @trail crystal the skies and weather config are from https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/abnormal-weather08

[torpid mauve]

sorry, i can't find the reshade, where is it'

[willow shale]

hold on

[trail crystal]

Are you saying that the last batch of screenshots was taken with my Reshade? 😅

[willow shale]

ohh right my bad. the reshade is project quantum

[trail crystal]

But it would be interesting to compare reshades under the same conditions with the same sceneries.

[torpid mauve]

those weathers are from abnormal right?

[willow shale]

I wish I kept all those saves

[willow shale]

yes

just do this #╟📸screenshots message

those were my presets and there is some tweaking to do in the user.ltx, I'll give you mine but I am not sure how it will be. it's just a matter to copy the shader params and the render params the r2_sun, r__ etc. etc. I cannot guarantee you will not have to do some tweaking yourselves

[willow shale]

here is the only comparison I can provide

[trail crystal]

@willow shale What are your overall impressions of this package? ---> #🖇old-mods-posting message

[willow shale]

I gave it some review but I was not totally sold, you can't use any weather mod with it or beef nvvg and the over the top mooshine I can't stand it. Also it is very difficult to discern what it does. it use very few reshade effect so I presume most of the work comes from the shaders in gamedata. Something we can only ask to the exepdition modders which is where he took the shaders from

[trail crystal]

I read your messages to this package. Agreed, the Expedition has more of a modified shader there, at least that's how it was with 1.2.1 too. Thanks for the opinion and conversation.

[novel depot]

Is that vanilla anomaly texture pack ?

[torpid mauve]

needs some tweaks, but liking the textures

[willow shale]

what textures?

[torpid mauve]

im using project quantum textures

which is a mix of dead zone(author removed it from everywhere due to money), golden autumn redux, and gtr? i think

[dapper mountain]

yes

[willow shale]

god I tried to download that file, (what it is 13GB?) it always fails at the very end

I only managed to download the GTR from it's own moddb page

do you use the shaders too? they seems to be the same gamma uses, which in this case should be more up to date than his

[torpid mauve]

nope

the only shader it has from the textures is a deffer_impal or something like that

which you shouldn't use bc latest SSS has a new rewrite? file of that shader

[willow shale]

I mean these, there is lots of files in there

[torpid mauve]

nah i don't use those

[willow shale]

me too, they all overwrite what gamma has so probably outdated

[torpid mauve]

novikov my beloved tech

[quasi orchid]

i still always laugh seeing him in the chicken coop

[willow shale]

wow

[willow shale]

name reshade and weathers pls?

[random flame]

Majestic Weather - Summer Textures (just unclicked the autumn retextures) - For the Reshade i do not know exactly. Just found it again on my hard disk. Something with TC_Reshade. Can`t remember where i found it.

[buoyant egret]

@dapper mountain are these Aggressor? Wondering what shaders you're using. My guns near a campfire don't look good like this.

[cunning acorn]

where should I put this file?

[willow shale]

that is my user.ltx which I just renamed it for convenience and backup. this file contains some parameters which you can copy into your user.ltx in case you want to try the quantum reshades. You can use any file comparison tools and see the difference between your user.ltx and this one and copy the values accordingly

[dapper mountain]

yes, AGRESSOR, and set the gamma to 1.3

[dapper mountain]

If necessary, here are my settings:
r2_sun_lumscale 1.8
r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.7
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 0.83
r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

[stuck bison]

Awesome 👍

[dark brook]

What are these red stuff on the ground on the 2nd picture ? + first picture there’s too much contrast between the ground and the grass no ?

The ground should be greener maybe

[outer grove]

Too big to be cigarette packages.. flyers?

[coral sable]

Communist propaganda left in Dead City

[coral sable]

About the first one, i had increased the density in that specific bush, i'm gonna change to the older version where this contrast is much less seen

[torpid mauve]

big leaf

[dark brook]

they seem very small 😦 not sure they fit in so well. What was the original texture looking like ?

[coral sable]

They vary in size, the original one was a leave, it's meant to give a atmosphere of "stopped in time"

Without too much zoom, i think seems repetitive, but its like "there was having a communist event then everybody had to leave, and left the stuff behind", you think its too catchy to the eye?

[dark brook]

I think that after over all these years, these papers would be reduced to dust, especially considering the psy storms and emissions

[coral sable]

Thats true

[timid socket]

Please someone put a bounty on him quick as I want that rifle

[sly owl]

I mean, you could just arrange an accident.

[quasi orchid]

Chill eve in AW

[sly owl]

Dang your reshade looks pretty sick.

[zealous basin]

Hi, I was unsure where to address this post.. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find this stash in the train station but I'm having zero luck, it should be right by the bed but I'm not finding anything and I don't see any access to the roof of the station.. These screenshots show the location and the general area of the train station.. If anyone had any insight that would be amazing

[gleaming estuary]

You can parkour near the hole in the roof caused by the crane

theres a couple chunks of railing you should be able to jump on if you get it right then low crouch over

then get on the crane and hop on the roof

[novel depot]

This stash is awesome

[analog atlas]

D:

[solar saddle]

The Garbage has some pretty nice views

[analog atlas]

a pp19 with acog? o.o

[solar saddle]

Ya make do with what ya got lol

I've got an sks too but the ammo is too expensive for me to keep buying

[analog atlas]

it can shoot that far? if it can, do it!

[solar saddle]

Its got a decent range, at least for me, I can double check it when I get back on in a bit!

[analog atlas]

nah dont worry mate v.v kill them all

[solar saddle]

Will do 👌 it's more of a marksmen rifle than sniper, but it was enough to take out the merc sniper post in Wild Territory with AP rounds

[analog atlas]

i left 9x19 when i finally had to go to radar 😄

[torpid mauve]

[last elbow]

That armor model is very nice

[proper skiff]

god damn what are ur settings that looks amazing !

[torpid mauve]

just majestick weather

[buoyant egret]

Am I allowed to be excited to get to use that model pack you're using at some point? Or just a pipe dream for those of us that have no idea how to accomplish something like that.

[winged saffron]

what reshade settings?

Man! That reminds me of Survarium! Great picture!

[clever badger]

None yet, they're wip.

[outer grove]

Now that is a phrase I haven't seen in a long time.

[whole salmon]

excuse me but what the fuck is this xD

looks like predator bloodsucker the hell

[quasi orchid]

it's a rare variant

[wintry hamlet]

very rare indeed

[whole salmon]

ah great 3 hours into the game and i get these things xD

[clever badger]

rare
but after the recent updates I've had them every time I've gone in that area of GS

[wintry hamlet]

they are not rare, i was being sarcastic

they replace what seems to be 40% of the regular bloodsucker spawns

[stuck bison]

Had 4 or 5 of these in zaton in one of the industrial buildings there, barely survived this

[quasi orchid]

I though the italic would've conveyed the sarcasm

[hazy plover]

i cant get over his name

Igorek do be pimpin

[hazy plover]

in 10 hours i have seen like 4 of them, wouldnt say they are to rare in my case XD

[wintry hamlet]

[hazy plover]

oooooh XD

i didnt read down far enough, my mistake XD

[torpid mauve]

poop

[coral sable]

Soon there will be a addon to GAMMA, adding real soviet equipment, the first one is the OZK

[noble flicker]

50 kg stash

[ripe jungle]

help ? XD

[stuck bison]

Why do you run around with 6 weapons? 3 should be enough and you would have more space for loot 👍

[novel elk]

what

[misty flame]

Duty be like that

[hallow marlin]

Kabedon

[stuck bison]

Even in the zone you need some love

[dark brook]

looks nice but that camo isn't duty

that's what I hate with most modern models, they don't respect the models aesthetic nor color scheme

[void solstice]

My first king blood sucker encounter (I dont remember if thats the actual name for it)

[noble flicker]

i was headed back to yantar to put those in my stash but my mistake was thinking i had space to check out some rare stashes on the way there lol

[stuck bison]

Ahh ok gotcha

[novel elk]

how the hell do i get there

[sacred pike]

magic

[coral sable]

Or you wait till they change levels, or with debug menu active, press "0" on Numpad, this will activate free cam, when you see them, press enter, you will get teleported

[sacred pike]

or fast travel to them

:D

[hybrid summit]

Nice

[south smelt]

Guys, i'm in front of a anomaly with the svarog detector, but he cannot detect him, may i'm wrong or this is a bug ?

[sacred pike]

what mod is this for the rifle?

[quasi orchid]

it might be a DAO Anomaly, and iirc the normal detectors dont see them - i could be wrong tho

[south smelt]

oh okay thanks

[wintry hamlet]

that was patched by wildkens i think, and added as an optional to DAO. it could just be missing some of the anomaly types or it could be not active at all

[quasi orchid]

good to know - i would need to test it too but that was the last info I had on it

[clever badger]

It's not released yet.

[sacred pike]

aww

[dark brook]

It will replace the k98 in starter kits once released

[real gust]

Not as satisfied with the preset that I have but I'd never play the game if I had to make it perfect.

Not sure why but F12 gives me this. And PrtSc sometimes work sometimes doesn't as is it doesn't always save the screen to the bin folder.

[tame mortar]

Huh, checked the file in GIMP, opacity is low

you can see through it

If you look closely, you can actually see my Discord through it lol

[real gust]

What the. But why does F12 save it with a low opacity lol.

[tame mortar]

lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'd recommend using a game overlay, or ShareX for screenshots

I'm a bit biased towards ShareX cuz Open Source lol but Nvidia overlays are amazing as well <3

Nice preset btw, keep it up!

[real gust]

Looks like PrtSc is normal. But somehow it doesn't always want to save it to the GAMMA bin folder.

[tame mortar]

Snip and sketch is very weird and clunky sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quasi orchid]

I tend to use lightshot

making markers and arrows etc is often useful for helping people

[south smelt]

this is normal ? i put the shader Expedition 2.0 recently

[hallow trail]

long press L

[wintry hamlet]

delete the shaders cache

!cache

[humble pasture]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[hallow trail]

doesnt work

its something with this gun

the laser sight

[wintry hamlet]

[quasi orchid]

[hallow trail]

just had it today

and ye, you cant turn the laser off

also, i'm using expedition aswell, so it might be bound to that

[south smelt]

when i install the shader, the shader cache wasn't here so i launch it :/

but i will stop my game and check it again

[hallow trail]

did you try long press L? 😄

[south smelt]

lol nope i will try it if i didnt find the shader cache

[hallow trail]

go try it

had same bug today

with the same gun

[south smelt]

okay i find this time the shader cache and i delete it

but yeah i will try it if it doesnt work

okay the shader cache didnt do anything but the LONG L have resolve something

[torpid mauve]

yeah there are some that have the black and red

[dark brook]

Doesn’t look half bad actually

[whole salmon]

K

[clever badger]

That's what you get for using "screenshot_mode png".

[willow shale]

expedition wet shader makes everything grey

and the sky too 😄

[torpid mauve]

expedition abuses gloss val

[willow shale]

I don't know, I have abnormal weather so probably the sky is supposed to be like this

[willow shale]

I see if I changing the gloss shader param does anything, in setting is at minimum already

ohh god, much better

is this effect in gamma shaders? I don't remember now

[torpid mauve]

yaeh

[willow shale]

so I still don't know what expedition does that others don't, lol

jokes apart. the light, shadows and ambient occlusion in expedition is quite decent, no need to spend hours with reshade and never be happy. The image is clear with nice contrast out of the box, just the interiors are pitch black because you cant use dynamic tonemap, well with default values at least

[willow shale]

I can get that look with project quantum reshade defaul presets

[ripe jungle]

beautifull

and now imagine stalker 2

[willow shale]

there you go

[ripe jungle]

omg

that is cool

I use the default gamma reshade I have just ajust some thing

[willow shale]

I think I just wasted my time with so many reshade and now with expedition shaders, better go back to abnormal + proj, quantum combo

one of my favorite

[ripe jungle]

beautifull

how do you make the sky like that ? me it's just a white thing

[willow shale]

just chilling

sky its from weather mod called a.b.n.o.r.m.a.l. lol

[ripe jungle]

flying dog XD

[ripe jungle]

oh okay x)

man I am on the way of finding stash if i find some advanced tools I will fight an pseudogiant with my barehand

[alpine ember]

Be like me and find 34 gauss batteries in a white stash in garbage XD

[ripe jungle]

[alpine ember]

I shit you not

[willow shale]

advanced tools normally is in my first green stash in Army Warehouse. it is almost guaranteed

[alpine ember]

and ofc basic tools because fuck me

[alpine ember]

feelsbadman

[willow shale]

ohhwell seems you are in the south

[ripe jungle]

gonna check the last one

[alpine ember]

Otoh you can take apart those AP bullets for other pistol AP ammo

sometimes you can get ungodly lucky even in the south

Even if it's not like

Expert tools

[ripe jungle]

yes I can do that

[alpine ember]

It was a quest white stash

[ripe jungle]

but i have no pistol for now

[alpine ember]

So prolly best to get the grab classified info missions because the loot on those is better than normal

[ripe jungle]

i need tool for repairing an outfit and weapon

[alpine ember]

you might score hard like me

[ripe jungle]

yeah I got some tool with that the other time

[alpine ember]

unless they send you to really awful places naturally

like

shudders

Truck cemetary

[ripe jungle]

Wild Territory is the best i think

i was freedom and the document where always there

[willow shale]

best loot for rokies is from lost signal quests

[ripe jungle]

[alpine ember]

Is that the DVL-10 urbana

medical kit too

lmfao

luck

[willow shale]

I mean do you really need advanced tools? what do you need them for right now?

[alpine ember]

Repair kits.

[ripe jungle]

repairing an AK for better weapon and an helmet i need heavy repair kit

[willow shale]

which gun/armour need to repair?

[alpine ember]

Advanced tools also lets you upgrade backpack to better ones

[willow shale]

well I know that, wondering which upgrade are looking to get

[ripe jungle]

it's an heavy gaz mask

[willow shale]

yes gaz mask very important

[ripe jungle]

yeah i can i have basic toolkit

[willow shale]

already 4 day and I found a sphere helmet

[alpine ember]

I believe you need a ton of medium repair kits to make a heavy kit with the advanced tools recipe

[hazy plover]

such a pretty game for being from 07

[ripe jungle]

yeah but i craft pretty much all my thing so it's not gonna cost 1 hundred thousand P

finally they died XD

I attempted to do this mission but i died several time because there was so many freedom stalker so I said myself OKAY GOING HOME XD

[hazy plover]

silenced SVD and you woulda been golden ;D

[ripe jungle]

or lot of grenade XD

[ripe jungle]

i need advanced tool for that

what is that faction ?

oh no a pseudogiant

[willow shale]

unisig faction if I am not wrong

[ripe jungle]

oh okay

there is a pseudogiant near the stash

[hazy plover]

try and see if you could possobly down it

[ripe jungle]

my ammo left

why me

why basic tool why

[alpine ember]

you can craft advanced tools with 5 basics

[alpine ember]

UNSIG, if you can kill em they can potentially have a pretty good gun

[ripe jungle]

yeah maybe another time i don't have enough ammo left

[alpine ember]

rip

[ripe jungle]

ye

what is the best way to make money ? beside the quest ?

I ask the question if artifact where worth but people tell me it's for the strengh

[alpine ember]

Uhhh

Hunting to sell at butcher also works

But quests for monster parts pay wayyy more

so a stash at rostok, where a metric ton of stalkers hang out, is an idea

put a buncha mutant parts there then ask around the stalkers

to see if they have mutant part requests that you have parts for in storage

[ripe jungle]

oh okay because i sell them everytime to the first trader i see

[alpine ember]

best trader to sell them at if you really have to is butcher

[ripe jungle]

and sometime i've got some bloodsucker thing and all it's pretty rare i think

i'm back at home

[alpine ember]

it is yeah

[ripe jungle]

look it's that thing that i want to repair

the ak and gaz mask

[quasi orchid]

ranger mask

[ripe jungle]

yes

[alpine ember]

it takes like 18 charges of medium repair kits to make a heavy kit

with the advanced recipe

that's 5 med rep kits

[ripe jungle]

AH

that's a lot

[alpine ember]

you can craft the medium kits as well but

yeah

it's more economical with an expert toolset

but I'd reccomend crafting the heavy kit with the advanced recipe anyway since the ranger mask is just that good

[ripe jungle]

yeah i will do that

[willow shale]

I don't think is worth to rush with that mask unless you are going pripyat already and north from there. Before that you don't need all that radiation protection. I think would be more helpful to look for a medium mask with good bulletproof resistance until expert tools

The ak though....

[outer grove]

This is not #╟🔫loadouts

[steel heath]

Hideout furniture

[dark brook]

Btw I’m planning on adding beds, tables and chairs. Most likely the biggest feature after 1.0 release

[gleaming trout]

Expert tools in the last stash of 6 on my way through radar > prip > outskirts. was in a car near the very northern tip in outskirts.
Quite a few trinkets i picked up along the way
Was hell ahaha. Went through 12 medkits, 15+ bandages, a bunch of food, water and other meds. The fight through outskirts to the stash (psydogs, poltergeist, a few cats and boars and snorks - ate up my last couple heals, then i was chased by isg and a few mercs and monolith from the tools stash on the way to the stalker base in the south east, i was red encumbered and on nearly depleted coke with isg and mercs on my tail. Picked up a few stimpacks from them, trip back might be survivable now lol

[dark brook]

You are heavily under equipped for Pripyat lol

[novel elk]

where is that?

[distant viper]

Freedom base, right in front of the technician

[novel elk]

cool

[novel depot]

What about some fence or barricade, like sandbags or maybe barbed wire ?

[dark brook]

Not likely

[novel depot]

Yeah might be abusable I guess. Still, would have been fun to be able to fortify a bit your position

Mounted pkm with companion on it haha

[alpine ember]

This guy was hella loaded

[lone torrent]

that man did a little genocide

[gleaming trout]

Oh absolutely. Took the risk, whats crazy about it, is as much difficulty, and as close to dying as i came several times, i actually didnt die. I got real close to dying from suicide by controller, but a mono plinked him before i ousted myself. Pripyat wats nutty as hell. In fact the whole trip was lmao - radar: 3 chimaras at the little outpost/shack near the map entrance from AW, one was black. they took all of my non-ap slugs. (one the the stashes in outskirts, i think the one with the tools contained like 30. handy.)

Pripyat wasn't so bad, 2 mono's at the entrance, a snork that was sleeping or something, a psydog, then 3-4 mono's and that controller. Just on my path anyway, there was chaos elsewhere, a couple chimeras fighting a pseudo near the entrance to Outskirts. I just ran past hah.

Then outskirts itself wasn't that bad, i was just emptied of my regular medkits and bandages by the time i started it, so it was tense in a different way, knowing i couldn't really recoup if i got picked off

i do have a merc radsuit (can't remember the name, the exo suit without frame) and its fully repaired, 50 br. but honestly 10% speed loss seems more of a detriment than the protection the suit grants, it doesn't seem to protect that much more anyway. and then, better guns yeah, but 9x18 ap - so far takes out basically anything that isn't sin, or in an exo.

but also, im not intending to linger here, there was just a few stashes that had potential for the tools i needed, and it payed out, and skinflint sent me for a package which i got as well.
And now i have some pieces from the effort to upgrade my kit a bit

finally

do i let him live or not ?

[tardy river]

why ask?

[solid hawk]

why does your game look like Rust on low settings

[ripe jungle]

because any person in the zone can have a second chance

[tardy river]

what did he do for/against you?

like, do a trial

[stuck bison]

Is it a mercenary? then kill him they would do the same to you

[ripe jungle]

hum

[ripe jungle]

try to kill me XD

[tame mortar]

shoot to kill bruh

[ripe jungle]

yes

[tardy river]

nah man, let him live, give him a contract on yourself and tell him to bring better loot

[solid hawk]

clearly, you need 200 more graphic enhancing thingamajigs

[ripe jungle]

nah it's fine

[tame mortar]

what's with the fog of war

[ripe jungle]

and everybody play with their own graphic texture XD

if someone want performance over quality then he do what he want

I find my game pretty like this so don't care if someone else don't like

[solid hawk]

fair enough

no amount of mods can make stalker look nice enough with it's AA

[ripe jungle]

with gamma there is already a lot of mod for texture and all the thing in the game

like skin / reshade / weapon / a lot more

[stuck bison]

True I like the vanilla look of Gamma with the Gamma reshade, don't need additional graphic mods, that's just personal preference

[tame mortar]

Global texture rework is amazing imo

[ripe jungle]

is gamma using it ? because texture is different i think

[solid hawk]

man

yall are insane

[tame mortar]

Naur it's still in beta

[tame mortar]

This is a stalker server, what new

[ripe jungle]

[tame mortar]

[tame mortar]

We uh probably shouldn't talk here too much, #╟❓general-offtopic is good?

And the PTSD is gonna be from snakes and spiders everywhere man. Even in like, agricultural fields, it's ridden with river snakes and shi

and I'm so sorry for like, changing the topic on a whim lmfao

[ripe jungle]

yeah let's go too general no stalker

but can we talk stalker in that channel ?

[tame mortar]

I mean, off hand references sure

But not like asking questions about le gamma and anomaly and stuff

[ripe jungle]

[tame mortar]

just don't tell Falco

[ripe jungle]

sorry i'm french that make me laugh

would love to see some bandit HD

[novel elk]

what mod is that?

stalkussy

[dark brook]

I guess I'll make a compat patch for these, the problem are the color schemes

like the first one could be very well be a Freedomer

duty shouldn't have any green part

only black and red

[wintry hamlet]

after playing a bit of gamma i thought i would try the efp3.0 with their HD models. oh boi was it hard to tell any faction from the others without crooks id thats one of the biggest problems with hd models

[jovial cedar]

Yup, I had the same issue, immediately loaded GAMMA afterward, then breathed again

[wintry hamlet]

military wearing white camo all the way in cordon "what, monolith? how the "

[jovial cedar]

Biggest crime was removing the Clear Sky Chad leather jacket visuals

Also Bandits don't feel the same without this white hood

[wintry hamlet]

i didnt leave cordon after seeing those military models. shut down the game > followed their guide to integrate dux's kit (yes, they have a guide for that ) and played a little with duxs kit instead but went back to gamma after anyways

[random granite]

a feast shall be prepared at Yanov Station

[dark brook]

curious about your pov on EFP

[novel elk]

what mod is that

[wintry hamlet]

i didnt play the latest 3.0 much, but 2.2 was my first anomaly modpack and i played it a lot but never got too invested into it. for some reason never increased the difficulty and always played different factions on tourist easy it was fun but i ended up making mags unload instantly after a while and there was always that one meta: either play as merc and get their gear or disguise and get high enough stock from mercs (heavy pockets at 1mil) and buy their gear. would like to actually give it another go on hard survivalist but idk if i can play anomaly without the features and QoLs in gamma

[random granite]

ok, maybe the outskirt stashes are worth it. still need expert tools though... stalker please.

it's got a 96 barrel I can just swap parts from mechanics

[wintry hamlet]

remove the svds and thats most the stashes i get north

the rest of them have leather jackets

[random granite]

lol I'm hoping for expert tools. tbh I just realized I can't even fix it up because its too low durability to strip parts

[wintry hamlet]

you can clean it or pay a technician to clean it for you

I think that SVDS brought me down to your luck levels lol

I'm sure these stashes have more 7.92 for me but I honestly don't think I want to fight Eidelon or whatever his name is at this point in time

there are some good models, especially for monolith, followed by duty, but for the rest of the factions there are few and not good looking

i would rather wait for a new hd model addon

[buoyant pumice]

Your first screenshot is broken

[stuck bison]

What do you mean broken

[buoyant pumice]

The opacity, like, I see discord through it

Dunno what is causing it I saw this bug earlier lol

[stuck bison]

Oh I see, maybe should upload again ?

[buoyant pumice]

Isn't the picture itself thats broken ?

[stuck bison]

Fuck the sunny verdoyant screenshots

[sly owl]

Yo strangerism that look freaking nice. New defaults Grok XD?

[jovial cedar]

This is coming from Abnormal weathers I think (if strangerism hasn't change the setup) It has its moments but overall not so consistent

[torpid mauve]

immersive bandit

[tardy river]

gamma is blessed in the mornings

[ripe jungle]

ye

[ripe jungle]

damn

[tardy river]

gamma looks just so much better with vegetation

[ripe jungle]

reshade ?

[willow shale]

I do agree but just because the reshade included is quite basic

[willow shale]

it's with expedition shaders (the lighting) but the weather is from the abnormal mod

[ripe jungle]

oh okay

but how did you get like that texture quality on the gun

like it look absolutely amazing

is that antialiasing ?

[willow shale]

I don't know honestly. I am using some texture from expedition because I did not know if the shaders are texture dependent (I am not expert on the matter) so I put them as well just in case

[tardy river]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/552530770841960479/1016847346358829116/unknown.png

[willow shale]

the weapon as any materials reflect the light of the sun in some form so you see a yellow shine on the gun in that picture

[ripe jungle]

oh okay

[willow shale]

I'll make a guide soon so everyone can try this setup if wants to

[ripe jungle]

Okay

[willow shale]

interiors

[ripe jungle]

your lighting look much more realistic than mine look

mine is orange/red

[solar saddle]

How big of a performance hit does Expedition make? Just looking at the example videos it has it looks crazy

Edit: Just saw the thread in reshades, sorry!

[willow shale]

I feel like it runs smoother than having many reshade filters to do the same stuff not even as good

some night shots

[tame mortar]

Looks absolutely fucking stunning jfc, amazing work! You sold me on Expedition lmao. From experience, do you have any FPS drops relating to graphics? If not, what are your specs?

I'm sorry for the fricking bombardment of questions but really, your game looks fucking awesome and I need to recreate that exact same look lmao

Nights in vanilla Anomaly are poopy so

and lighting in general is bad lol

[torpid mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-what-no-way-emoji-shock-gif-24390671

[willow shale]

I'll make a guide soon and post it in reshade for all to try

[tame mortar]

Fucking legend lol, thanks a ton!

Please notify me when it's done! This is one of the best presets in STALKER I've ever seen bro

[willow shale]

the sunflare it's not perfect by any means but it can look cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIRjEqRHwkQ

[buoyant pumice]

Just pasted Abnormal weathers at bottom of my modlist. wtf that was exactly the look I needed.

Idk about inconsistencies, will play more and see

[willow shale]

have fun 🙂

[zinc rain]

nice looks like some kind of standstorm

[tame mortar]

The only inconsistency I know of is that abnormal weather breaks the Stealth addon, xcvb mentioned it once I think. Otherwise, it doesn't break anything. I adore the look!

[buoyant pumice]

Its the case with most weather mods I believe

[tame mortar]

Yeah unfortunately, with the exception of Michiko's

[buoyant pumice]

I like michiko but it lacks the sun color on cloudy weathers = no sun shadow, look a bit flat

[tame mortar]

Yeahhh

I just adore how Abnormal weathers look honestly

Lighting and atmosphere on fricking point lol

[willow shale]

honestly abnormal is not a weather mod with a specific tone or mood in mind. It's just a collection of all skies from stalker games and weather config. There is like 45 weather types that cycle compared to 12 like most other mods, inconsistency it's a trait

[zinc rain]

weather diversity adds so much imo

[buoyant pumice]

Those ambience are how I remember SoC ambience. Might be cause of the skyboxes, idk exactly from where they are... but thats definitely a true stalker look

[willow shale]

the mod description says which games he took the weather from, e.g. misery

can't wait to see this again

[zinc rain]

thats other worldly

[buoyant pumice]

GAMMA evenings and sunsets have something though

sorry for the hud btw

[tame mortar]

True, it looks so winter-y in a way?

[buoyant pumice]

I edited the shaders param, tonemap and reshade to get this particular look with less contrast

[tame mortar]

Looks amazing btw!

[buoyant pumice]

yeah I just wish having deeper black levels without fucking up the overall look. Someone had a pretty good attempt but it looked like too dark at day sadly.

[torpid mauve]

better hands

[buoyant pumice]

me when I accidentally drop something

[sly owl]

God, it's so good.

[sly owl]

I would pay a lot of money to play that lol

[torpid mauve]

would be pretty cool to storm cnpp with clear sky again

[dark brook]

I'm curious about your settings 😉

[willow shale]

what settings exactly?

[dark brook]

Reshade, user.ltx, skyboxes, weathers

[torpid mauve]

asking for the whole package

[willow shale]

I will write a guide so anyone can try it. However, it's Expedition textures, shaders and weathers/skyboxes (vanilla weather ovverride) + abnormal weather/skybox (non vanilla weather), no much reshade filters just vignette and a sharpener. The user.ltx settings are taken from Expedition, some r2 params (e.g sun_lumscale) and shader params

[jovial cedar]

Expedition and Abnormal, two cursed words for Grok

[dark brook]

thanks. will check some abnormal weather skyboxes then

I'm good with gardener of the zone textures

[dense anchor]

It's HD models?

[torpid mauve]

not the one from moddb

[dense anchor]

Oh okay

it looks nice

grabbed them from there

but its not exactly drop and play, you will need to tweak some character_desc for factions and change their meshes to the correct paths for them to be assigned

currently im doing that, its kinda boring but probably next week i will post it in #🖇old-mods-posting

[dense anchor]

Amazing, I'm waiting for more screens 😄

[torpid mauve]

[willow shale]

damn good for sure but they look a bit out of place in the ZonE, more like Brooklyn NYC. Thanks a lot, I will try definitely

first launch on @willow shale 's GAMMA +Expedion visuals Merge

[willow shale]

congrats

[zinc rain]

good Job man it works!!

[willow shale]

not bad for first launch, you got the foggy weather so you can't see where is the improvement ;-D

[zinc rain]

A bit harsh on god rays

wow feels like it runs much smoother

lets turn up the dials

[willow shale]

it is possible to tune down the sun flares by editing a property in weather ltx files. I have already adjusted few of them that were too much during certain time of the day

[zinc rain]

Storms are definetly to high

but others look actually really good

[solar saddle]

Hey, I'm having trouble finding it. Where is it posted?

Looks great though! I'm even more eager to get it set up

[willow shale]

It's not ready yet, I need tomorrow to figure out a couple of issues that came out and then I will publish. In the meantime start downloading the full Expedition install files. It's required.

it will look like this

[solar saddle]

Oh cool! The way it was worded I thought it was finished 😅 It looks fantastic!

[willow shale]

your flashy GAMMA is coming

it's was my first tester and few issues came out and I want to fix them before releasing to all

[solar saddle]

Gotcha 👌

it doesnt even look like a game anymore

its just real life

[trail crystal]

xD Thanks, but I think strangerism is prepared something better, so while we wait.

[dense anchor]

@trail crystal what a reshade and weather?

[waxen harbor]

big rat

[rapid tide]

Oh it's new york

[novel elk]

you aint black if you never had this

[trail crystal]

Here I listed: #╟📸screenshots message.

And the less bloom latest preset variant, kinda "on request": #╟📸screenshots message.

During clear weather, it may be too bright with my weather setup.

[jovial cedar]

What about really early hours in all weathers ?

Notably 5-6 AM

From what I can see, most shots taken are in clear weather, and while it look great in a certain aesthetic, rainy/cloudy/stormy weathers shots would be a welcome additions I think

Most reshades would fall apart under certain conditions and/or weathers sadly, not saying it's the case here, but the best way to get consistency is to test multiple weathers/time of the day, most people making reshades usually go for the "oh look how great these shots are" and behind the scenes it's not so great (not only in Stalker, many others games with reshade presets actually, hello Skyrim)

[trail crystal]

You can find those above. I've posted them earlier.

[trail crystal]

Yeah, I'm familiar with that too.

[jovial cedar]

I saw these as well, I was meaning more like without the green gas anomaly or something

However, I have to say, it does look really great, not my type due to brightness sometimes, but I can't deny the quality

[trail crystal]

I can't say definitively, tbh I haven't tracked which time\weather periods look better/worse. What can I say, I'm not very happy with too much brightness in clear weather and I honestly mentioned that, otherwise I'm fine with rainy and stormy weather, emissions.

[jovial cedar]

Oh, when I say 5-6AM it's because of the lack of visibility, I went the adaptative tonemap route so I don't have issues with it

[trail crystal]

I meant this, for example: #╟📸screenshots message.

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, what's the green hue on the right though ?

[trail crystal]

Here some as well:
...slightly below rainy - #╟📸screenshots message
#╟📸screenshots message

[jovial cedar]

I honestly prefer the colorfulness they have here and there now rather than the ones on the first link

Some people like the high contrast washed out settings, can't say I do

[trail crystal]

This was the original preset, not the "lessbloom" version, so there is a glow from some of the lighter textures.

[jovial cedar]

Which bloom did you apply ?

The magic one ?

Neo ?

Or maybe the normal one ?

[trail crystal]

All my screenshots are made with the same setup, only the preset version and weather conditions are different. 😂

[jovial cedar]

Oh, so you did it the majestic weathers way ?

[trail crystal]

All of them.

[jovial cedar]

With multiple ini presets to choose from

That's an interesting way, I think Apollo wanted to do something like that

[trail crystal]

I'm using or Alt_2, or lessBloom presets.

[jovial cedar]

I honestly find Neo Bloom to be a bit hard to understand x)

But I went with Magic instead

And I'll try to improve my own preset as well

[trail crystal]

I made my preset a long time ago, so I can barely explain my choice by now. 😅

[jovial cedar]

So you're trying to improve it now ? Maybe you can have a new one from scratch ?

[trail crystal]

I'm going to do something with this, but based on the Expedition 2.1 when strangerism shares his 'recipe'.

[jovial cedar]

You and me both

[swift sundial]

Me too 🙂

okay i clearly got scummed

[clever badger]

nope, that's how artefacts spawn
you can get one pretty usable one out of combining those

for 15 renegade patches, that's pretty decent

[stuck bison]

Had the most intense firefight so far, with mono guys and later some mercs who went after me. Was pinned down and had to fight at least 20 enemys in total I think, in the end I only had ammo for my 45 pistol left and a few meds. This was tough, but that's what makes Stalker so great it just has the most intense firefights out there. ( In the picture it just shows a few of the dead bodies there were more outside 😅 )

[whole salmon]

The loot will be intense

Feel free to share what you got xD

[stuck bison]

Will do later, gonna eat something now 🙂

[stuck bison]

That's the loot from the firefight in Pripyat Outskirts

[gleaming siren]

GTR?

[buoyant pumice]

exactly 👍

[whole salmon]

k then man had an ak alpha too xD

also aslan pretty nice patch exchange loot

[gleaming siren]

is this with the parallax thing? Im trying out GTR myself but the textures dont look as defined as yours

[buoyant pumice]

Yeah I'm using the only shader file there is but not the optional shaders. In user.ltx parallax 0.024.

[buoyant pumice]

the way the textures/bumpmaps stands out depends a lot on the lighting though

[gleaming siren]

alright thanks a lot

I thought that file didnt work with ES (heard it from somewhere) so I didnt install it

[buoyant pumice]

You'll see black grass here and here but that's rare tbh

[buoyant pumice]

PBR before/after. Might be worth lowering specular for GTR, but it looks great.

[south smelt]

Nice pictures on the modb page, would you recommend it ?

[buoyant pumice]

Yeah so far only issues I encountered was some tiles textures using wrong bumpmap so it looks broken, and some wood textures not accurate. Also it can break some grass mods or even default anomaly grass in some spots.

performance wise this is for sure way heavier to run. theres 8k textures for no reason in this pack.

[gloomy steeple]

is that on moddb? Can't find it

[tender comet]

I think this one GTR pack is latest.. :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-G2q2dAaTwrDJhm0hfY1FgFxVSPfeRwQ/view On Moddb is old one

[buoyant pumice]

Yeah I can see this one have a bigger size, ty very much !

[tender comet]

Yeah no problem.. I hear something about new update maybe in october. But just maybe 😄

Good things is this project is still alive probably 🙂

[buoyant pumice]

Thats nice to read though they gotta stop putting 8k textures lol good for close up screenshot but thats it

I mean theres not so much of them but I tried exporting them in 4k and kaiser mipmaps, looked good.

I found it, my new plane of existence, that small square of ground completely out of the map

I have achieved peace of mind, without any pesky mutant, nor Hip

Emissions bring the zone together...in search for shelter...didn't end well for mercs tho.

I can't remember where, but I read the opposite, moddb version is more polished and with small-fixes

[rose flame]

Dx8, the REEL MAN way to play this game

[buoyant pumice]

I actually compared the 2, theres only changes in some shaders, notably more parallax depth in the supposed latest version. I think its the latest, by looking at the creation date of the files. Eitherway you can adjust parallax depth as you like it, and other shaders don't matter since we cannot use them with ES

in short those are basically the same without the optional shaders

[south smelt]

that is really funny

[clever badger]

This place is huge...is it really that big in real life too or its enlarged to better fit the game or something?

[south smelt]

at least i will not check the size by myself

[clever badger]

why not? its just a bit of radiation,drink some vodka and its gona like weak flu

[south smelt]

Yea

[clever badger]

Finally cleared that damn place

Bit of a screenshot dump but goddamn this game is fucking pretty

also the new PBR + GGX looks amazing the weapons look great

[stuck bison]

Damn nice screenshots

[clever badger]

very noice

[quasi orchid]

great captures indeed

the black bars tho

what res is this in? 16:10?

[clever badger]

cinematic

[quasi orchid]

just askin, not judging. the images are great

[echo flame]

these were downscaled from 4k as the original's are too large

[quasi orchid]

ah I see

[echo flame]

was using nvidia DLDSR but the framerate tanks at like 25-30

[quasi orchid]

ye. good for shots, not for playing this olde game

also 2 of my fav maps - Pripyat and Swamps just always capture that feel the most

[echo flame]

also could be worth giving DLDSR a shot if you got a decent rig, Im using an RTX2080 super and getting 30-36fps in cordon with anistropic filtering set to 1, its not really worth playing with though the UI does not scale properly text is really small.

[storm hamlet]

I cannot get over how good this game looks while not even playing on such high graphic settings

[buoyant pumice]

All about artistic direction and atmosphere 🙂

[jovial cedar]

Meanwhile xD

[waxen harbor]
