[normal wren]

shit you're right

my bad

[normal wren]

set it to 1.0 and now grass seems to have more variety like yours does, idk if it's just random texture placement or the actual change that did this

[real schooner]

[proper ivy]

Spring grass can look good but you have to turn the saturation down

[twin lake]

just turned up my grass and now it looks like a winter horror game

[normal wren]

are you guys using that mod where NPCs can't see through grass when you raise it?

[twin lake]

do you have it?

[normal wren]

i have considered turning it on but i hear it makes NPCs very dumb and stashes are harder to access through grass

[twin lake]

you have the foliage thing? or is this a total different mod

[twin lake]

oh yeah, i have that

[normal wren]

are you using this? does it make engagements trivial or nah

[normal wren]

beautiful

[proper ivy]

thats spring grass

just saturation isnt crazy

looks almost like summer but just a tad more alive

[normal wren]

mine looks like this right now, still feels off somewhat

maybe it's the shader

[twin lake]

if you want to use it to your advantage at times, id recommend using it

but, if you don't and you want them to see you through the bushes, then dont

[proper ivy]

Getting spotted through a bush kills the immersion for me

gotta turn that on

[twin lake]

yeah, i just started a new save as a merc lol

got like 30 extra mods going on as my extras

[normal wren]

yeah i also downloaded a bunch of stuff but i have not turned on NPCs cannot see through foliage because i heard it makes fights trivial

[twin lake]

honestly if you think about it

all you gotta do is just turn your grass down and use bushes as your cover at times when its needed

like, if you wanna sit out in a bush and use a sniper or somethin

[proper ivy]

But it depends how it works, if it only reduces detection when they haven't spotted you at all yet it's fine but if you can just duck into a bush mid fight and they're like then that's different

[normal wren]

i was under the impression that that was the case

[proper ivy]

Like if they already know you're in that general area the bush shouldn't do anything but if they have no clue you're even there the bush should be your friend no?

Looks like a classic STALKER shot this

[magic spruce]

WHAT IS COOKING

TURN THE FURNACE OFF HOLY SHIT

[normal wren]

i was able to get a slightly darker, sharper, more realistic feel by switching to the AtmosR++ ReShade preset and tweaking it slightly (was previously using AtmosR)

[coarse pecan]

Yo.

[vocal moon]

Yes good sir

[coarse pecan]

Can you peep DMs when you can broski

[clever badger]

GAHD DAYUM!

[coarse pecan]

@vocal moon With the weapons mag redux mod do I have to manually load the gun from the menu.
Like load the mag into the gun?
I can't seem to manually press "R" and reload the gun

[vocal moon]

you have to right click the mag and add it to loadout before u can load it into the gun

[coarse pecan]

ah alright

[vocal moon]

if u have any other questions fel free to ask

[coarse pecan]

solid ppreciate it bro

just got this 2-3 days ago so this is mad confusing

[vocal moon]

Yeah it can be a lot at first fs

[raven patio]

Make sure the keybind in your settings for reload is "R". First time you activate mags redux through the method outlined on this discord, it'll change a few keybinds

[coarse pecan]

I can only see Jam Keybind which is set to R.

But I had the Unjam Reload fix mod activated so i don't know.

[toxic geode]

sempre uno spettacolo ❤️

[magic spruce]

man, those grass textures look so much worse now

i liked the old ones :(

[clever badger]

white?

[magic spruce]

these ones

they just dont look good

i wish they were all just like white

[clever badger]

The white reeds are too blinding in clear weather. So it will be like this now

[magic spruce]

i'll stick with 0.6

[clever badger]

Of course stay on v6 if you like it better

several sunsets from INVERNO

[magic spruce]

it does still look really good though

[clever badger]

ОК. Now you can move on to v 14. Especially for you, frozen reeds. Place after inverno. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KS98hVMy8jTikWZRoX3eIOtSjlVwTpdg/view?usp=drive_link

woo!

[nova tendon]

norfair reshade is god tier

[nova tendon]

died on my 1 life IM after this to an anomaly while running from a snork cuz i only had 3 hydro shock left

[vernal condor]

I'm using it after I got into a firefight with 8 bandits in the great swamp and got shoot over and over with 2m tall grass in front of me that i couldnt see shit through

i've noticed my companion behaving a bit strange, but other than that as long as you are not abusing it it works like a charm. the same firefight suddenly became fair

[elfin garnet]

forgot to turn off the hud...

[clever badger]

What mod is this

[golden current]

Yo whats that thing you’re holding in your left arm

[supple saffron]

[nova tendon]

[supple saffron]

Yea just playing with the building stuff first time. pretty neat!

[clever badger]

What mod you use

[supple saffron]

its just what is included in gamma nothing added

[clever badger]

Cool

[nocturne horizon]

[idle gulch]

Its the Hideout Furnitures mod, it comes pre installed with GAMMA. A lot of the the furniture you have to buy from traders, you can only craft a few of them.

[normal wren]

gotcha, thanks for letting me know, i have since enabled the addon in my own game

[tribal sedge]

I saw on youtube that you are also able to craft the furniture. He was using gamma and same mod. How can we do that?

[nova tendon]

What reshade are you using, looks awesome

[idle gulch]

Oh idk, I have only been able to craft the gun rack and shelf and a couple other things. Skinflint sells pretty much everything else.

[normal wren]

cs 1.6 looking hands

[gloomy steeple]

Old dog sleeves, i really like it, seems like gamma want to add those soon

[jolly fern]

with The Boys

[magic spruce]

Gamma's going to be getting these sleeves soon

(i dont know why)

[gloomy steeple]

you can have both

but personally i think that old dog have much better quality

[magic spruce]

I want what you're smoking

[gloomy steeple]

want to see an evidence

whait

[magic spruce]

dont show me the nomex gloves

those are the only textures that look better than the thap ones

[gloomy steeple]

do you use fdda right

[magic spruce]

everyone uses fdda

[gloomy steeple]

let me show you something one second

[magic spruce]

these are the only good old dog sleeves

the gloves r so crisp

[magic spruce]

so orange

[white orchid]

yh its golden autumn

[magic spruce]

looks very nice

[normal wren]

wow

[gloomy steeple]

there are some little details that it make me like old dog more than thap, seems like it fits better in overhall with little things like hand positions, fingers without weird positions or pills visible on hands, also the textures are pretty good

[magic spruce]

thats because the THAP models are larger and have more polygons

i think

they arent alligned with most of the gun models

maybe they're smaller i dont remember

[hallow basalt]

Garbage can be pretty at night. Pretty scary as i got jumped by a psy bloodsucker immediately after taking this screenshot

[normal wren]

man maybe i should switch to the winter mod

these are gorgeous

[naive kiln]

❄️

[normal wren]

there's gotta be like a permanent sunset in your world

[naive kiln]

something like that

sun goin down eventually xD

[ancient juniper]

Funny enough i think i was being baked alive by rads a bit from sniping bandits from the top of the hill

[magic spruce]

knew it

[vivid gale]

I fucking love this gun

[ancient juniper]

It should be in gamma by default, i don't have mods that change skyboxes
For reference it was taken in Army Warehouses at around 18:00 i think

[dreamy flicker]

and now, for something a bit different:

[magic spruce]

[still snow]

Nice Shot. Which Mod? Inverno?

[naive kiln]

yeap

[still snow]

Cool, the mod looks even better now. Great setting. 🤍

[naive kiln]

Yeah finally with legit winter flora ~

[civic temple]

question: Does this winter mod replace the footstep sounds with crunchy snow sounds?

[magic spruce]

yes

[random flame]

yup, but you have to disable some mods in MO2. Check the install guide from Fabio for Inverno and GAMMA.

@nova tendon what are you using to make it look so green and beautiful

[vivid gale]

Join Military.

[clever badger]

how you get game to look like this lighting and everything

[clever badger]

what weapon mod

[exotic fossil]

Can't seem to decide between autumn, summer and spring... They all look so good.

[pliant shore]

Summer, looks the cleanest

[exotic fossil]

You think? Summer's the less colorful one. Then spring is.. more green.. But I'm leaning towards summer as well

[pliant shore]

Summer keeps a distinct difference between green and browns without being too green, the extra green comes from radiation anomalies and that's enough for a clean contrast to be shown while keeping the game clean looking

I do think Spring is just tooooooo freaking green

[exotic fossil]

Yeah, it's a little too "alive" you know?

And it's the zone after all haha

You nailed it. Summer is just a good middle ground between colors

[pliant shore]

Yeah, not to say it can't be, but for asthetics and vibes summer right now is perfect

[clever badger]

thx aydin for the choices

[exotic fossil]

Oh absolutely. Then there's me, obsessed with tweaking every single detail of the game trying to find a perfect balance of looks/performance

I think I found some comfortable settings now, 40-60fps is good enough for me

[pliant shore]

If anything you can tweak the shading of the game in the settings to make colors more or less saturated

I did that for my game

Advanced light settings I think it's called

@exotic fossil

[clever badger]

offtopic here but i wish i could make the trees a lil darker , to sync with the shadow color

[pliant shore]

I think there's an addon for darker trees or something

[clever badger]

ill see what i can do thx

[clever badger]

theyre not protecting the zone from you, they protecting you from the zone

[coral sable]

Whats your gloss configs (factor and min)? The mud really looks like mud!

[exotic fossil]

Ah right I know what you're talking about, I keep all of them on 1 for consistency's sake, but I might fiddle around with those sliders a bit to see if I can get something better

[pliant shore]

Get #1168270408613642343

[pliant shore]

Main consistency is key, you tweak it from there and then add Reshade stuff on top

[vast moon]

But the zone is full of life, you know...

[vernal condor]

the ss after emission is perfect

[clever badger]

almost there...

[clever badger]

indeed it is

[pliant shore]

Even in these it's not as green a spring settings, but good reference

[dusk lava]

this gun is funny

[magic spruce]

Reshade SSDO?

[dusk lava]

[magic spruce]

i removed the mask textures from NAVS MASKS

and now i have metro glass overlay

[dusk lava]

thats really nice

[magic spruce]

its a little too much rn

[glossy helm]

Does anyone get tired eyes while playing even for a short time (30min)? My eyes get tired ONLY when i play GAMMA and i don't know why. Maybe some visual setting you guys know about?

[compact wedge]

idk, sss latest update with gloss features seem to be overriding r2_gloss min and factor

factor is 1 and min is 0.5

[glossy helm]

I play gamma for more than a year, i don't think it could be it.

[real schooner]

maybe you need glasses

[glossy helm]

Sure could be. But it's weird because my eyes stay like this only when i play GAMMA.

[slate spire]

Does Gamma supports ultra wide? How does it look

[brisk edge]

Ecologist do whatever they need to find artifacts and anomalies to study.

[coral sable]

Wich mod adds these wounds? They look great!

ew

[pliant shore]

I'm literally using fov at 100, it's not that bad

[pliant shore]

Fair

I might try 90 fov though

I might

But I don't want to break the devices mod

[pliant shore]

I don't even see it get loaded, 4 fps and a dream baby

[magic spruce]

we do have better models

[pliant shore]

Not consistently

[magic spruce]

yeah

thats true

ah

yea

[pliant shore]

That's the issue, we'd need 1 single guy/team simply remodeling everything in anamoly in a similar style to HD quality that's also optimized

Yup

The maps themselves aren't bad model wise, specially when grass is on

It's just small details that easily get noticed

Exactly with we are getting that fully

Honestly, for a game like Gamma, I like seeing it develop from shitty looking to pretty

Yup

You'll get the passion back at some point

[magic spruce]

a lot of yappin rn

[tough tide]

What mod gives the poppies in the swamps?

[junior oyster]

good question, i think it has to do with Zone Reality Texture Pack

ZONE REALITY 0.3
The Real Way To Play Stalker.

-Combines Aydins Grass Tweaks To Spring Grass And Spring Trees
-Adds Agressor Grass Combined With Aydins For More Variations Of Grass

[real schooner]

"the real way to play stalker" cant believe ive been playing the fake way this entire time.

[tough tide]

Makes sense.

[random flame]

Fabio Contes Late Fall (A.S.R): https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/late-fall

[tough tide]

My problem with most flora mods is I prefer the look of like... Autumn Aurora.

[junior oyster]

yeah, i don't mind it but i get what you're saying. Also Autumn flora i think goes the best with what Stalker is intended, meaning the atmosphere and worldbuilding

[tough tide]

I'd actually like to find a mod that has like... Mostly orange and red tree leaves, but dulling green grasses. Like a first few weeks of fall look.

[magic spruce]

Zone reality is so bad

lmao

[junior oyster]

how is it bad?

some textures still need some work but i think it looks sick

any alternative?

[clever badger]

how you get no grass

[pliant shore]

No grass and lods mod

You'll find it on moddb easily

[magic spruce]

Old dogs has some really nice gloves

its just the sleeves themselves that have a very noticeable drop in quality

[nocturne geode]

you got DAR working on wltr?

any specifics or just install like normal?

[magic spruce]

nope im on gamma

i wanted to see the differences

i WISH i could get dar working on wltr

[nocturne geode]

Oh it doesnt? gotcha

Yeah would be awesome

[dusk lava]

wait nvm

its part of the game

its just that the gun has a bigger bullet wound

lol

[magic spruce]

i think its possible to back port DAR to 1.5.1

well tis possible to back port any mod

just would take some modding experience

Grass from Aydin's Grass or elsewhere ?

[white orchid]

yeah aydins grass with golden autumn trees

[white orchid]

aydins grass looks really good in outskirts

[jovial cedar]

Spring Grass + Golden Autumn Redux trees are my ultimate combo to go to honestly

Coupled with Atmos weathers

[white orchid]

yup im trying that out now

[pliant shore]

What he holding-

[spark cove]

you can backport most mods from 1.5.2 to 1.5.1 except the mods that call for a 1.5.2 engine edit

mostly script based mods

I even managed to backport new levels to 1.5.1 lol

and make it compatible with a backported brotherhood

and storylines

a friendly advice, dont try to edit all.spawn lol

jupiter's file extracted from all.spawn kek

theres 70 files like this with around 20k sections c:

[magic spruce]

that's crazy lmao

you think DAR is back compatible?

it would really make desolation feel more modern

[magic spruce]

capa with the best screenshots as always

[spark cove]

perhaps

I'll try and backport it

[magic spruce]

even without the textures

it would still look good I guess

[normal wren]

i have been consistently sitting at around ~40k rubles for the past half a dozen hours of gameplay

[proper ivy]

random question. do you strip all the attachments off every gun and sell them all to the technician

[normal wren]

most i made was 55k and then i had to purchase ammo and meds and food

[proper ivy]

suppressors and scopes are super light and the technician pays fat change for them

I made like 60k off attachments alone coming back from brainscorcher

[proper ivy]

Also try and make the majority of your ammo and meds if you can, buy cheap meds from the medics that you need to make more expensive meds

[normal wren]

i can't make anything as i don't have the tools, i'm lucky if i even have a cleaning kit or a repair kit to return my starter weapons to their former condition

i'm hoping that eventually with my rank or reputation increasing i'll get better payouts or better stock and be able to afford everything i need since so far it's been an uphill battle lol

but i'm going off the topic of the channel here

no its just 4k

[proper ivy]

[magic spruce]

and his reshade

which i based off mine

[normal wren]

wait what, how

i've got a 2060 and am getting ~112 FPS in some non-populated areas

[magic spruce]

I have a 3060 and same

[wheat forum]

i have no idea.

[normal wren]

rostok just shits the bed for me though

[proper ivy]

you probbaly have rendering distances way lower grass density lower etf

etc

one persons game is going to run way differently based off the in game settings

[wheat forum]

i'm running the game on Ultra graphics settings with grass shadows turned off.

[normal wren]

i have them set to default and the height set higher

[magic spruce]

why

[normal wren]

i never wanted to use higher settings because those already look good

[magic spruce]

there's no point

[normal wren]

i think you're told in the menu not to use the presets lol

but yeah i'm also running max graphics minus AA and AO (ReShade takes care of that)

[magic spruce]

dont run max graphics

[wheat forum]

figured i'd see how it looks.

[proper ivy]

I cant STAND things popping in so I have the rendering world distance for static objects and texture detail at max

[magic spruce]

there's barely any change at all

[wheat forum]

gotcha gotcha. thanks for the advice

[normal wren]

yeah so why wouldn't you if the FPS doesn't change lol

[proper ivy]

he meant graphical

'theres a massive fps change

[magic spruce]

the FPS does change

[proper ivy]

[magic spruce]

wdym

lmao

keep your settings at default

[normal wren]

i haven't noticed any unless i lower render distance

[magic spruce]

uh huh

sure

[normal wren]

what the fuck do you mean "sure"

[magic spruce]

so you have shadows on ultra

[normal wren]

i haven't noticed any

[magic spruce]

everything at the max setting

[proper ivy]

in game AO and AA are basically just murdering your frames especially since most reshade presets are already providing those effects

[magic spruce]

and you dont change fps at all

[proper ivy]

we should talk in #╟🎑reshades, leave this for screenshots

[normal wren]

i have the shadow slider set to max which is 1 and even if i set it to lowest (0.5) i'm not seeing any difference in performance

if that's what you mean

i have actor shadow on and grass shadows on

[magic spruce]

lmao no

im talking about shadow settings

everything else

[normal wren]

the shadow map size in the launcher? it's already lowest

[magic spruce]

wtf

do you not look at the settings

[normal wren]

okay mf give me a sec

[magic spruce]

look

these ones are the ones that can wreck fps

[normal wren]

yes i have seen this guide and there is no one unified shadow setting, sun shadow is on obviously, actor shadow, grass shadow, and shadow details slider which does nothing

[magic spruce]

shadow details slider?

what

[normal wren]

shadow quality good lord do i have to say the exact setting name for you to understand

you know what the fuck i mean lmfao

[magic spruce]

i dont

[normal wren]

i don't remember the names to a tee

[magic spruce]

its not a slider

lmao

its a dropdown menu

[normal wren]

yeah then what is this

not a slider?

[magic spruce]

thought you were talking about sun shadow intensity

i mean

sun shadow qualtity

wait what

where is that

oooh nvm

[normal wren]

Settings > Visual > Advanced

[magic spruce]

i know the menu sir

[normal wren]

under the Lighting subsection

[magic spruce]

sir

i know

[normal wren]

Sun Shadow Quality: Extreme - 94-95 FPS
Sun Shadaow Quality: Medium - 96-97 FPS

incredible

might as well just have the option on max to say you have it on max

[magic spruce]

nah

[normal wren]

what else were you saying that affected FPS

[magic spruce]

theres no way

[normal wren]

i just checked, in Rostok

look in the same direction

[magic spruce]

check elsewhere

[normal wren]

what difference would that make

it's a bright sunndy day outside

[magic spruce]

wdym what difference

lol

try it in cordon

[normal wren]

no explain to me what difference does the sun make in different parts of the map under the same weather conditions lol

[magic spruce]

there's more grass to render and more shadows to cast

[normal wren]

i can't get to cordon right now so i'm testing in the most graphically demanding area on the map likely

other than swamps perhaps

[magic spruce]

rostok is NOT the most graphically demanding area

[magic spruce]

lets move to #╟🎑reshades

[normal wren]

do you want me to go check in army warehouses that has plenty more grass? also how is the sun quality = shadows

[normal wren]

okay

[magic spruce]

I feel like CAPA with this 4k

(i have 20 fps)

[gloomy steeple]

[toxic lily]

this engine is psycho for its age though. im basically convinced a soul was sold to the devil to make this game.

[supple saffron]

swamp has its moments

[normal wren]

let's goo Meprolight represent 💪

i've used that sight in real life back when i served

that M21 uses ambient light as a power source which is very convenient if you don't want to bother with batteries and it works at night too

very cool that they included it in this game

[proper ivy]

That's badass

Welcome to the “20 fps” club

[magic spruce]

[clever badger]

i have to ask , where is dat stranded helicopter at ?

[sly olive]

Did you forget to reply to a message? Leaving out the many of them in Truck Cemetery, there are downed helicopters in Wild Territory, Darkscape, Army Warehouses, Pripyat, and Radar. Probably a few more but thats just off the top of my head.

[clever badger]

yeah sorry long time no see such a gem of a game
