[stark smelt]

cause I definitely miss that wheat-like color from GoTZ

[thin obsidian]

Yes thats exactly what it looks like

Its so different

[stark smelt]

I'm sure Huh wouldn't mind, just something to install on top of C Con like the summer recolor I did from it

Huh if you mind hit the duckass on the chat

[thin obsidian]

lmfaoo

Do the colors only affect the grass btw? and not the game itself

[stark smelt]

yeah just the grass

[thin obsidian]

Hell yea

[stark smelt]

I can use the winter one as base and make it really dead like it, just with the wheat color

[thin obsidian]

That would be amazing

[stark smelt]

it's really fun recoloring C Con cause Huh is a gigachad so it's so easy and looks so good too

[thin obsidian]

I wonder which one between winter/autumn would look best with the wheat color, I only tried the autumn once and I think I felt like it has a little more variety?

[thin obsidian]

Cool

[stark smelt]

yeah autumn has a bit more variety i think, maybe the wheat color would look cool with flowers and such?

[thin obsidian]

Here's a few screens of when I was using gotz grass, dunno if you need them but yea

[thin obsidian]

yeah I think it could be better! I'm going to try autumn and see how it looks like

[dire needle]

I disagree to do that

As always

We need the wheat grass before stalker 2

[dire needle]

[torpid lark]

vibe

[thin obsidian]

Do you think stalker 2 will need a grass mod @dire needle

Ccon 2

[dire needle]

Nah it will be fine

[thin obsidian]

only 3 days left now

I wasn't that hyped until I saw the smoking barrels video GSC uploaded

looks amazing

[dire needle]

I’m still skeptic about it, it looks good but there’s some things that are not right and can’t forget it’s gsc

[stark smelt]

fuck i just realized i need to free some 100gb on my ssd

i am fucked

[dire needle]

160

[stark smelt]

yeah but i think i got 80ish free atm

i dont even know wtf i'm gonna do

[thin obsidian]

ive got 149gb left

[thin obsidian]

Maybe mods can fix it

But yea u cant trust the upcoming games anymore

[torpid lark]

CoP 1.5

[dire needle]

Delete all tree mods/grass mods, delete downloaded mods from mo2

[thin obsidian]

spare the wheat grass edit

[stark smelt]

i'm pretty sure i can fix that by just deleting 2 rotten lifes and 2 atos right

[thin obsidian]

[stark smelt]

• my unpacked folder

done, 100gb ez

[thin obsidian]

delete windows problem solved

[dire needle]

It will take months to fix add new qol stuff

[stark smelt]

i should buy a new ssd ffs

[thin obsidian]

I still have a dead HDD inside my pc case that's been in there for like 4 years but I cba taking it out

[dire needle]

Can you also buy new gpu for me since you’re go shopping

[thin obsidian]

Can't believe ive missed your autumn grass alternate version that looks like winter but with the flowers smh

[stark smelt]

yea that one is great

[thin obsidian]

If you have the time to do a misery/gotz wheat like version of that

[stark smelt]

it's exactly what i was thinking
will try that tomorrow

[thin obsidian]

Hell yes

[thin obsidian]

@stark smelt It looks very different haha

[thin obsidian]

@stark smelt

[stark smelt]

oh yeah, it's way brighter than c con

[thin obsidian]

Yeah its super bright

[stark smelt]

btw, are you loading MBTT after SSS?

[thin obsidian]

I run MBTT after SSS 21 but then SSS 22 alpha 7 after MBTT

i'm not sure if its correct but it seems to work?

I havent noticed any issues yet

[stark smelt]

oh yea i think that works, just cause the MBTT textures seemed a bit flat but maybe it's just not so noticeable on screenshots

[thin obsidian]

Its a bit flat yeah

[daring aspen]

there is already alpha 7?!

man how many alphas are going to be done before I actually could touch the grass

[thin obsidian]

yeeee

[stark smelt]

yep Ascii fixed some stuff on 7 too

[daring aspen]

I hope it will be released before s2

[thin obsidian]

Yeah something with shadows I think

[thin obsidian]

that Looks sick

is it the winter

[daring aspen]

its late fall weathers + trees, rotten and ccon winter alternative

[thin obsidian]

looks great

[stark smelt]

I wonder if LF still uses the INVERNO weathers or if that was changed

[daring aspen]

it was changed

actually there are 2 versions for classic lf and partly snowy weather

second one replaces rain with slow snow downfall

[stark smelt]

ooh yea i need to grab the new updates then

[thin obsidian]

Do you guys want to see stalker barbie world

[daring aspen]

I'm a barbie girl

in the stalker world

[thin obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/barbie-ryan-gosling-wink-margot-robbie-handsome-gif-7779535681814001194

sickhowl can you make wheat hair color edit too

[inland portal]

what in the world !!!! how do you get stalker to look so goood

[daring aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/russell-crowe-maximus-gladiator-fields-gif-12708940

[stark smelt]

ngl these skyboxes go super hard

[thin obsidian]

MBTT textures, GOTZ (grass and trees), Weather expansion

no reshade, and SSS 22 alpha but those three above are the main big ones for that look

[inland portal]

niceeee appreciate it

is that rose gold type theme default?

or are there many choices

[thin obsidian]

Many choices

[stark smelt]

i think thats clear3/4 or smth thats super pink on exp no

[stark smelt]

oh cloudy nvm

[thin obsidian]

Yeah also clear 3 and 4 I think

[stark smelt]

Ani cooks so hard with this shit

[thin obsidian]

Its really good

[fossil lily]

is that the refined ver or the original custom weathers ver

[thin obsidian]

Uhhhhh you mean what i picked in the installation?

[thin obsidian]

yeah refined it was actually, I havent tried the other one

[sterile canyon]

Rate this guy's loadout

[thin obsidian]

I like your name

I rate your name 10/10

actually 9/10 and mine is a 10/10

https://tenor.com/view/egg-iasip-always-sunny-philadelphia-gif-11094806

Ccon grass also looks good in barbie lighting

[slate jay]

does atmos comes with gamma?

[dire needle]

Yes

[ebon pine]

would some of the skyboxes be merging together ie. some weather packs and atmos clashing making the clouds look way too full

[zenith star]

ngl i thought emissions would be FAR...FAR more violent in Gamma (CoP ones are somehow more terrifying)

[zenith star]

this is horrifying they can climb up walls

and also dont stand near them when they climb up a wall

[warm sierra]

way too much contrast

[rough briar]

Yeah I'm still tweaking stuff.

How's this @warm sierra

May look bad on other displays, but it looks good with how mine is calibrated

[warm sierra]

ah, that might be the problem

my display is default and darks are too dark, while whites are too white

[rough briar]

I'm running an HP 24mh FHD Display, Model Number 1D0J9AA#ABA

[warm sierra]

or maybe darks are just too dark

[rough briar]

Also running Full Range Colours with No Black Stretch

[warm sierra]

im on a simple laptop

[stark smelt]

still not sure about the colors on the stuff that's mostly overgrown on the roads, but here's some wheat colored C Con mr egg man
with GoTZ trees + MBTT to see if it's fitting the usual stuff

[rough briar]

I did tone down Gamma and Saturation some which helped a lot.

[stark smelt]

and I kinda mixed autumn/winter for the flowers

[rough briar]

I'm running a total Stalker Soup Mod Pack. Base Ancient GAMMA + KVMAS Realistic Models Addon + ADEGA 1.5.3 + Aydin's Grass Tweaks 4.0 + ATO 4 + MBTT 2.8 + Weather Expansion for Atmospherics + Emergent Zone 2

That grass looks amazing.

[stark smelt]

that's #1279805292472832101 i'm just testing stuff

highly recommend the autumn presets if you want a look like this one i shared

[rough briar]

It's on my list to download when I get better speeds

I love the Misery look. CoP Misery was amazing all things considered.

I didn't even do the Story. Just Lived in the zone

[west cedar]

This damn game is beautiful

[stark smelt]

though I prefer something more like this

• using the GoTZ bush texture with the grass

[naive kiln]

Escape from anomaly 🤣

[rough briar]

I found Skif! 😛

[obtuse nymph]

CS

[thin obsidian]

OHHH I woke up and ur already done LEGEND

[fossil lily]

check out #1280267401513930772 psi storms possibly, i cant remember if it touches up emissions as well ( i think it does? )

[thin obsidian]

looks awesome!! Is it possible to make it even brighter or is that how bright Ccon can go? GOTZ is nearly white but its a matter of taste also. I can’t wait to try it out though good job man

Oh wow you even mixed the flowers wtf

[stark smelt]

yea, it's their dead version (from winter C Con) but with their original colors slightly desaturated

[stark smelt]

so, I tried a brighter version but I thought it looked odd against the sun + it was way too off compared to structures textures and such

with this brightness it matched other stuff much much better

[stark smelt]

like in this ss here

[thin obsidian]

looks awesome!

Good job man

[stark smelt]

just gotta recolor a last asset from the grass which I'm not sure where I can find it, but other than that

[thin obsidian]

If you can send it to me ill be happy to try it out tonight when im playing

[stark smelt]

if both Yuri and Huh allow me i'll release this as a C Con reskin for sure

[thin obsidian]

Wooo, im sure they will

How did you even do all this

Btw I also think there is something off with my MBTT like you said, I saw an old screenshot of urs with MBTT and mine looks really flat in comparison

My twigs and stuff on the ground are flat haha

VS your older screenshot

unless theyre flat in that area of cordon i dont know

[fluid kestrel]

oh

[stark smelt]

yeah that's why i asked to double check

u're running Atmos right?

I think it has a script that sets the terrain_offset from SSS based on the map

but try loading MBTT as like the last mod in your list, maybe that helps?

[fossil lily]

branch

[stark smelt]

my game used to look so good with that LUT why did i take it off

[fossil lily]

its literally grey

😭

you probably took it off so you don thave to be depressed in every area

[night pumice]

what texture mod is that?

[stark smelt]

yeah, but i like the depressive look so much

[thin obsidian]

Its MBTT

[thin obsidian]

ill try tonight! Thanks

[thin obsidian]

Lmfao litterally why im using emergent zone 2 granite

[zenith star]

might just, normal anomaly emissions made me shit my pants the first time, Gamma ones made me slightly less comfortable at best

[fossil lily]

well thats partially to you being more used to them as well

[thin obsidian]

yep the atmos beta

[fossil lily]

but yeah weather exp will help

[stark smelt]

yea so it should be applying the atmos terrain offset from the script i believe

unless you have a mod overwriting SSS settings

like I think Late Fall used to etc

[mint fractal]

im rarely proud of my game's looks but lately i think i did okay

[last thunder]

not the prettiest but i'm liking it

[jaunty fulcrum]

[thin obsidian]

:c Ive tried putting it last, and turned off SSS beta and atmospheric beta, nothing works so far, maybe those branches and things on the ground are just flat in cordon/rookie town area

[thin obsidian]

Am I in hell

[daring aspen]

The 10th sircle - debug

[thin obsidian]

Think I prefer the barbie world

is it a debug bug?

i didnt understand

[daring aspen]

I assumed you were tweaking some rgb balance in debug to get it so red

[thin obsidian]

Ohhh

no I turned debug off actually

dunno if its weather expanded or a bug haha

[daring aspen]

or is something new in weather expansion?

haven't check the update yet

[thin obsidian]

I turned on debug now to check, Cloudy 5 at 21 looks like that for me

[daring aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/diabolical-the-boys-billy-butcher-gif-15296323

[thin obsidian]

Lmfao it looks a bit too much

might be something on my setup

[daring aspen]

I recall you were saying that you are using one of EZ LUTs

that might be the cause

[thin obsidian]

Yes I was thinking of that too, Its most likely that

it does say weather expansion might not be properly fit for the latest emergent zone

[daring aspen]

are you using reshade?

[thin obsidian]

nope

[daring aspen]

oh

I was about to suggest you to set color balance to your prefer via regrade, lightroom or selectivecolor

[thin obsidian]

Ohhh ok

mmm my pc is struggling to run with the settings I like so I try to avoid reshade now with the latest sss alpha looking so much better

im gonna turn off emergent zone and see if its the same

do you use SSS 22 or 21 btw?

[daring aspen]

21

can't use paypal so have to wait in jealous to all these screenshots

[daring aspen]

As I recall there are some luts with minimal color grading

have you tried it?

[thin obsidian]

Gonna try it now 😄

[thin obsidian]

You're going to love it when its out!

[daring aspen]

yea I'm actually super hyped for this update

[thin obsidian]

hes so fast too he updates it all the time

[daring aspen]

and I'm going to change my 3060ti 8gb to 4060ti 16gb just for some extra vram to play modded gamma with more then 60fps

[thin obsidian]

you're going to appreciate it even more because you're going to get everything at once 😄

Ohhh hell yes

im a bit worried about my 2080

I just want to run stalker 2 with good settings

with at least not less fps than gamma

[daring aspen]

idk for some reason I'm not so hyped on s2

maybe because of all the nostalgic feelings about original trilogy, cuz I've been playing it since 2007

[fossil lily]

if you’re nostalgic about the og trilogy I’m surprised you’re not excited for more original game

[thin obsidian]

yeah i get u, its hard to live up to those expectations

[daring aspen]

or maybe because there is not going to be russian voiceover and I want my cheeki breeki

[thin obsidian]

ive only played gamma so its not the same for me

lmfao yeah that fucking sucks

someones gonna add that as a mod for sure

[daring aspen]

they are gonna be mad as hell if that happens

[thin obsidian]

its still red without emergent zone btw

might just be how weather expansion is

[daring aspen]

I've seen this one as a psy storm

but not as a regular weather

[thin obsidian]

im on Weather Expansion for Atmospherics 1.65b apparantly

is yours the same update?

[daring aspen]

after a few experiments with late fall weathers, a full playthrough with weather expansion and some days with memory of home I've desided to move back to classic atmos

they are pretty nice for making some sick ss

but atmos is still the best choice for regular gameplay

[thin obsidian]

i do think that as well tbh

I think I will go back to it soon too

honestly what made me hyped for stalker 2 is pretty ridicilous, but the environment on this video makes me a bit excited, the sounds and details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgWvCvAruiM @daring aspen

im just hoping the mods will be good

[daring aspen]

I'm surely gonna play it the next day it comes out

[jaunty fulcrum]

[daring aspen]

There are just not so much expectations for me

[thin obsidian]

thats good tho

im tired of like 99% of new games ending up being shit

[daring aspen]

Its like if its fine - good, if its not - ok I'll go back to gamma

[thin obsidian]

yeah haha gamma is the real shit

hard to beat

[short crest]

dude has a great looking helmet

[tacit seal]

nice trees there

[thin obsidian]

Gah i'm in love with CCon and Gotz ;_;

[stark smelt]

hey egg man, Yuri gave me the green light to the GoTZ flavored C Con

i'm gonna setup a fomod tomorrow

[thin obsidian]

YAY

I cant wait

[daring aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-bateman-explain-american-psycho-card-business-card-gif-25686137

Its GotZ. And the grass color is something called "winter 8k alternative"

[thin obsidian]

Btw frosdan did you try Autumn alternative? its very similar to winter color but with more variety, some flowers etc

im using that rn

@daring aspen

[daring aspen]

idk if there was any update to that, but I've tried it when it was just released and it was too colorful

[thin obsidian]

you sure u tried the alternative version?

[daring aspen]

i guess

can you give me the link pls?

[stark smelt]

i know ya'll want the gotz colored c con

[thin obsidian]

I could barely see a difference when I swapped

[thin obsidian]

YES yes wew do mr sickhowl

[thin obsidian]

Oh its in the ccon installer, im on v 0.55

[daring aspen]

oh man I thought you were talking about trees lmao

[thin obsidian]

Ohhhh

[daring aspen]

nah didn't try it yet

gonna do it rn

[thin obsidian]

Oh sorry yeah I didnt write grass lmao

[tacit seal]

thank you very much

[thin obsidian]

@stark smelt You have given me anxiety about my MBTT looking flat now I cant avoid looking at the roots on the ground looking like my profile pic in comparison to urs

[stark smelt]

i'd say go to the swamps, near the agro transition

and compare to my ss

cause that'd be the best way to know if it's a rookie village issue

[thin obsidian]

Ok great ima check that place

[daring aspen]

at the end of the day there is always an option to do some magic with heights and bumps via gimp or chainner or any other soft out there

[thin obsidian]

im too unexperienced to do anything myself ;_;

[daring aspen]

you can always hit the duckass

[thin obsidian]

@stark smelt ffs

its popping up a little bit but definetely not as much as urs, u can see all the stones and stuff on urs which is awesome.. but maybe its just the newer version of mbtt or maybe its my game

[daring aspen]

r2_parallax_h?

[thin obsidian]

ill try that

it says 0.02

[daring aspen]

I'm not sure if that affects terrain textures but maybe

[thin obsidian]

whats urs at?

[daring aspen]

same

nvm

it seems like it doesn't

[thin obsidian]

hmm well it was worth a shot

I asked yuri ill see what he says, maybe its just the latest MBTT update

thx frosdan

[daring aspen]

I've just looked up into mod's folders

and its kinda weird

I'm not that much of an expert in textures editing, so might misunderstand something

but why would Yuri make a normal maps for textures, when there are already bump maps which play a role of a normal map for this old ass engine 🤔

and a copy of some terrain textures in lfo folder

idk

never seen smth like that in any other texture mod

[thin obsidian]

I saw this in the 2.8 changelog does that have anything to do with it?

[daring aspen]

well I'm checking the latest version rn

and its there

[thin obsidian]

Oh

Hm I have no idea

[daring aspen]

oh wait

shit

I have tons of downloaded versions of same mods

and I've just double checked

I've installed 2.7 for some reason

🤪

[thin obsidian]

hahahaha

its time for me to go to bed nao

goodnight mr frosdan

[odd prawn]

A letter to a loyal friend:

Vlad,

I met you in Limansk.  Your squad was pinned down and by the time I had arrived on scene, it was just you against three of those Monolith freaks.  We cleaned em' up, real handy.  We didn't have to say much to one another, I simply asked if you wanted to follow me, you nodded and away we went.  I was on my way to the brain scorcher and the two veterans I had with me when we met were armed with weapons of my own choosing, we were well supplied and had ammo for days.  It didn't matter, those fanatics cut them through them with ease, only you were left standing.  And so it went: we shut down the brain scorcher, we crossed the breadth of Zaton and Jupiter.  You were there when I met Scar, you were there when I descended into the Iron Forest to find that wierd weapon for Rogue.  Hell, you were probably the only reason we made it through Jupiter's underground tunnels and you were absoultely vital in destroying Eidolon.  You were there when we entered the Sarcophagus with Strelok; but, you wouldn't make it out.  I don't know if it was a stray round or shrapnel from a grenade; but, I found you'd met your fate when the gunsmoke cleared.  I found the picture of the pretty lady in your pack, I took it and your patch, I just got done burying them on the "hill" in the Dead City.  We did it brother, we finished the contract.  I never could've done it without you.

Rest easy tough guy,

winter trees are the final boss of xray stalker 4real

[thin obsidian]

That does look incredible. And the fact that you dont even need anti aliasing with them. Those and the gotz trees are my favorite

[umbral violet]

Some reposts as I (fail to) contain my excitement for S2

[stark smelt]

damn bro
try double checking if you don't have any mod overwriting that thing Late Fall uses, the settings_screenspace_TERRAIN.h file or w/e the name was

[clever badger]

What are you trying to do 🧐

[stark smelt]

fix these people's frankenstein of mods

but for context, idk if Late Fall still applies that or not, but a few months ago I had an issue where it was overwriting that file defining the "Alpha as the height map for terrain textures" option
which made it not read the _height files from MBTT or my own terrain textures (thus making them super flat)

I mean, I get why it's needed on Late Fall, I just wanted to double check it wasn't the same issue with them (since baba is using MBTT)

[clever badger]

Late fall non compatible with any other ground textures. If those textures don’t use alpha channel

[thin obsidian]

I will double check this just incase, what is the easiest way to check this? I don't use late fall though but maybe its worth checking anyway?

Yuri said this though, so I think its just the latest update. Do you use MBTT right now sickhowl?

Hows the wheat grass going btw 😄

[thin obsidian]

Like this?

[stark smelt]

you'd actually need to check all mods that overwrite the shaders\r3, that file I mentioned is in there I think

but since you're not using LF or anything like that u should be fine

I haven't used MBTT fully in quite a while, I always merge textures etc

but the new dirt texture that was released recently is super nice, nothing flat at all

and I was testing on rookie's village, so it's a good one I guess

[thin obsidian]

Wtf? Did you use MBTT 2.7/2.8 or were you on MBTT 2.0 when you were in rookie village with it

I don't want to turn my game into erandis special

[stark smelt]

I used the latest release, 2.8 I think it was?

and then picked the "Alternative dirt" or smth like that on the fomod

[thin obsidian]

Kill me

OH

I dont use that

I withdraw my suicidal thoughts

I WISH TO LIVE

im going to try sunn's new trees testing then ill try ur grass and MBTT alternative dirt

You should've told me u used alternative dirt sickhowl FFS

I spent like 2 hours yesterday bashing my head trying to fix this HAHAHA

https://tenor.com/view/rescue-me-suicide-gif-21125301

[stark smelt]

if that doesn't work now then i really don't know

[thin obsidian]

HAHAHA it will you fucker

now I know what to look for if my textures look flat in the future tho

[daring aspen]

Its not about this shaders file

Its the mbtt itself

I've checked 2.8 yesterday before went to bed

Like there are a few textures that don't have height or bump maps

And there are height and bump maps for texture that doesn't exist

And terrain textures in lfo folder

Idk maybe its how the library works for some other modpack

Or maybe its just me not knowing much anough about modding

[thin obsidian]

Are you talking about the same "problem" as me @daring aspen ?

[thin obsidian]

or is that a different one

[daring aspen]

yep

[thin obsidian]

Yuri said he made branches and stuff flatter in the later updates to avoid the terrain from getting completely flooded when it rains apparantly

so I think if it looks like this it should be fine?

[daring aspen]

maybe

[thin obsidian]

This one is very flat

[thin obsidian]

But he told me to try the alternate dirt texture version

It might be better

im going to try it now

[daring aspen]

this folders management is still a mystery to me

[thin obsidian]

Replace your folder with stalker 2 problem solved

This is the kit used to repair. A the blue kit for handgun, B the green kit for old weapons , C the red kit for modern weapons, D the yellow kit for advanced weapons. Armors have similar kits: Light, Medium, Heavy and Exo.

i dont really like shotguns for mutaants

but go for it

if you like it

ks23 is just really slow

I actually currently have TFAA/DRME/immerse SMAA as well as nvidia control panel aa, x4 and multi sample transparency

I don’t actually need reshade enabled I was just testing winter trees earlier and they do need it imo

the trees are from #1296365727472943158

[midnight pelican]

I feel like my modded gamma is in a good place graphically right now

[stark smelt]

that BHS overlay is asking for help

[wanton trench]

I'm kinda new to GAMMA, How do you build a base?

[signal elm]

Actually, you can buy furniture from traders, some furniture depends on trader’s lvl. Then you can place furniture anywhere you want

[wanton trench]

Anywhere

[midnight pelican]

I get the info I need, doesn't need to be fancier than that

[fresh stream]

[dense sedge]

Bout to bring out the marshmallows

[lapis elm]

no safe scumming but of course I get a drop like this less than a day out from the release of STALKER 2...

[mint fractal]

MAN i wish stalker had at least bf4 level of gun tacticool barbie

[mint fractal]

[clever badger]

Negev

[fair sapphire]

[mossy tiger]

Damn

With or without reshade?

[narrow comet]

#📢announcements message

Luckily there's a rule against it.. That stuff will be in #╟📸stalker2™-media so we are safe unless there are idiots (which there are many but oh well)

[timber cobalt]

I know but I'm a curious person haha that's why I need to avoid more than never if I want a great surprise when playing for the first time

[raw arch]

Oh for sure.. My brother gifted me the game last week so I'll be sure to completely avoid all Stalker discords for at least a few days

[fossil lily]

OKAYYYY LETS GO

[torpid dune]

what kind of mod?

[minor lily]

oh

dyslexia moment

[raw arch]

That's the Re:Spawn Mutant Collection.. The Jugger mutant to be exact

[torpid dune]

Can I have a link?

[raw arch]

https://www.moddb.com/members/hadesdk/addons

Parts A, B, C, and D are there.. Look in the descriptions of the mods because they have a special spawner mod too.. All the info is there or on their Discord (also linked in the mod descriptions)

[verbal sundial]

#╟📸stalker2™-media

[robust carbon]

Where is all the stalker 2 pics

Gib now

[sterile hedge]

just testing stuff

[past dawn]

Hey, does anyone know what might be causing this or what it's called so i can figure it out?

[wintry gale]

Found that in stalker 2

that one pic with the stalker

[digital horizon]

GAMMA Easter egg in S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2??!!

[raw arch]

Oh boy.. Mods are gonna have a busy time

Guess I'll leave this Discord until I'm done with the game..

[sterile hedge]

we have #╟📸stalker2™-media btw

[sharp star]

going through the jup underground and came across this, felt it was worth sharing with the class

[coral sable]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK (this is a laugh that neither "lol" or "lmfao" can express)

[sharp star]

where is this? it looks like a bitchin hideout spot

[warm sierra]

cordon, north farm

[ancient silo]

I mean, its not that hard to find, its also in True Stalker mod

my first day in Zone 2.0

[peak wyvern]

oh boy i finally got from great swamps to rostok in day 1, hmmm it seems that duty have a .. pseudo problem

[stiff stirrup]

In rostok is insane

[sweet solar]

Are STALKER 2 screen shots allowed in this channel?

nvm I see a bunch in the backlog lol

[verbal sundial]

They are not lmao

#╟📸stalker2™-media

But at the same time that frame was shown in gameplays already

[sweet solar]

I see

I'd only be posting pics of nice scenery (to me) anyway

but now I know

[blazing surge]

Hideout with graphics nuked so all my guns can be on display

[desert yew]

#╟📸stalker2™-media

[timber cobalt]

I'm crazy or my screenshots from anomaly were deleted because people thought it was stalker2? hahaha (or is a bug from discord)

[warm sierra]

post it again

ah, anomaly

hmm, possible

(they dont know how a good game looks like)

[timber cobalt]

These, i can't find them anymore here hahaha

[warm sierra]

lmao, i think they mistaken, yes

[timber cobalt]

Oh shit ahahaha

[warm sierra]

they cant comprehend a good looking game

[ancient silo]

???

[ancient silo]

then you should communicate it more clearly...

[ancient silo]

I wasn't even aware there's Stalker 2 exclusive channel until you tagged it

[verbal sundial]

lul

[desert yew]

#📢announcements message

Clearly didn't add yourself an announcement role

[ancient silo]

I believe Stalker 2 falls under the category of "other stalker games", but if there's a stalker 2 dedicated channel its okay, but how was I supposed to know? 😄

[desert yew]

#🔊gamma-announcements-role

[ancient silo]

done 🫡

[sterile hedge]

this looks more like stalker 2, than the stalker 2 we have rn

[minor lily]

fake hdr?

[south arch]

my bad

[misty stratus]

damn ur game looks insane bro could u share ur mods and reshade settings maybe?

[timber cobalt]

No

[timber cobalt]

It's not a reshade preset, It's a weather preset called memory of home, in these screenshots is how it looks with the upcoming update 1.1, you can download version 1.0 here on GAMMA server

[misty stratus]

so u are not using any reshade ?

[timber cobalt]

No, It's not even installed

[misty stratus]

damn

well i couldnt find the mod btw

it doesnt show anything when i search memory of home

[timber cobalt]

#1299899241657012324

[misty stratus]

great thanks

[modest inlet]

What mod are you using to wield the weapon this way? It looks a bit different like in the Anomaly Custom mod.

[real schooner]

custom weapon reposition

you can do it yourself using "Draggable HUD Editor"

[timber swallow]

Once complete, I think Pripyat could be my best looking map.

[timber swallow]

That lighting dude. Beautiful!

[timber cobalt]

Thanks! are you making a texture mod for Pripyat? the textures looks amazing

[stark smelt]

he's the creator of ATO, beautiful textures mod

it overhauls the entire zone

[modest inlet]

Thanks man, the Draggable HUD Editor worked really well for me. It's a bit annoying to configure each weapon, since it affects the aiming settings and you need to configure it as well, but the result is worth it.

[real schooner]

glad i could help

[timber swallow]

Try my ATO 4 mod out. I think with your settings, it will bring my textures to life.

[sage scaffold]

sneaking (stalking) my bounty...

[candid hinge]

peak anomaly...

[fossil lily]

use draggable hud editor and hud offsets editor, watch this to see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y3-zw818hI

the offset editor makes it so you only drag the hud for one position of the gun and it fixes it for the aiming positions of all scopes

[oblique grail]

back in the zone after a short break

[kindred wing]

does anyone know how to fix this?

my problem is the loose and overwritten files and the game crashes after character customization and kit choosing then it comes back with an error that says it cant "read" something

I have already updated all of my mods

[raw arch]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[rose osprey]

what extra mods do you use for the graphics?

[merry dagger]

C Con grass + Atmos

[subtle osprey]

That's beautiful bro'. I'm wondering, what's the name of this demo mod btw ? I'm clueless about it

[violet lantern]

Somehow 13 bloodsuckers spawn and almost wipe the military outpost, I end the two remining survivor also free loot

Got 80% PKM yaay

[clever badger]

Project I.N.V.E.R.N.O

[untold totem]

Found the secret man-only blowjob tunnel

[fossil lily]

are these taken from within anomaly custom? or just custom made repositions

[weary sage]

Great shot

[fossil lily]

ahh nice i hadnt checked out the rest of his repos yet with rifles

i mostly had used shotguns and handguns

[daring aspen]

So I've played this new post-apocalyptic game for 2 days. But I think I'll finish it later cause I want to play Stalker

[subtle girder]

Is that sight on that AK vanilla or is it a mod?

[dark brook]

this is fucking huge, an absolute banger

[hollow hawk]

stalker 2 is beatuiful, but gamma is on its own (beautiful) level. its wild how far mods can bring this game forward

[halcyon dust]

now enable inverno

for that christmas spirit

[crisp hazel]

finally, graphics i can afford

[timber swallow]

Thanks boss

[south holly]

good haul

[fossil lily]

What wep pack is this? FWP?

Or custom ones pooled together

[south holly]

Fwp and the patch for RAWP

[fossil lily]

Even with stalker 2 out, I still find myself interested in Gamma massively lol

All the sick weapons

The patch for RAWP? Sorry I’m not familiar with that

[south holly]

Same ive dumbed 3k hours into gamma and i dont entirely like stalker 2 right now it feels like the shitty side of farcry gunplay wize

RAWP is another gun pack

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036727845726204024

[fossil lily]

Is the patch for it available thru fwp somewhere too or is it a seperate thing entirely

Ah

Lol thank you very much

[south holly]

Go to the top of that tread

download it

then go to FWP and download the patch for it

put the patch into your mods

[fossil lily]

I see

[south holly]

replace the files

then done

[fossil lily]

Yep easy

Thank you 🫡

[south holly]

For sure

[fossil lily]

give me something to do if I end up wanting to wait for a life and performance patching in stalker 2

[south holly]

Same here

[fossil lily]

since gunplay feels so much nicer in gamma rn

[south holly]

yeah i find gammas gunplay to be my fav out of any game

[fossil lily]

needing to use dlss and frame gen in stalker 2 has my mouse feel and muscle memory all fucked up so it’s so hard to snap between targets etc

[south holly]

yeah i dont really like stalker 2 for the arcade

feel

also go to newbie chat to talk

well get in trouble if we talk here

[fossil lily]

Nah it’s ok anyway I’m gonna try to back to sleep lol thank you for the help though

[south holly]

same lol im dead tired

[tall salmon]

EAX

[agile kelp]

wait, so you download both RWAP and FWP then use the patch or just download RWAP and then the patch only?

[fossil lily]

both

the patch has an install vid in it

but you just drag and drop it over the fwp pack

[normal lake]

taking shelter from psystorm!

[robust carbon]

Feels like there is like 0 people playing stalker 2 in this chat

No-one has a PC to run it

[woven pawn]

i dont know if i've sent this here already

[thin obsidian]

🥚

[abstract venture]

Anyone know how to fix these squares/checkers in shadow, idk if you can see it but if you look closely there's these squares in the shadows of the weapon, it's more notacible when moving camera around

[little gust]

don't use volumetric lighting or turn down its intensity

[fallow cairn]

Just a lil bit of bandit hunting

[fresh solstice]

Look at these distinguished gentlemen! Look at the way they are sitting, yes... very distinguished...

[halcyon dust]

Truly beutiful

[fresh umbra]

> Emission safety ? None
> Cold ? Likely
> Safe enough to sleep ? Nope
> Likely to get shot at ? Definitely

> ...Looks comfy enough at least

[timber cobalt]

It's not possible to make some walls?

[fresh umbra]

Maybe with some other mods but I am not aware of them .

We only a few placeables available to build our own personal base for now...

It's a start though . Can probably just find better locations too , I just didn't want to move from Warehouses .

[oblique grail]

install the Even More Hideout furniture mod, has doors and walls

[minor lava]

Here You go, Freedom Lover

[gloomy moss]

Just saw this picture in Stalker 2 in a house in the swamp area.

Any idea who this might be?

[pearl kernel]

Visitors.

[weak mountain]

Me

[runic stag]

this had me questioning whether this was a s2 or gamma screenshot, looks insane brother 🤝

[leaden osprey]

What reshade/ graphics mods are you using? This look amazing!

Nvm found the answer, amazing job will install now!

[timber cobalt]

My screenshots are from the upcoming update 1.1, so you will not have the same result

[leaden osprey]

Ahh okay! Just got 1.0 up and running and it already looks very good! Any in game graphics settings or SSS settings you would recommend changing?

[timber cobalt]

For now only to increase the rain transparency to 1 in the SSS, this will make the rain more visible and in my opinion is better, feel free to see the best option for you

[leaden osprey]

Will give it a shot ty!

[supple vale]

Zulu tower base

[queen matrix]

May ı ask which tree addo did u use ?

and olsı Ccon grass but which preset ?

[digital halo]

looks really cool, is that all craftable the interior? asking cuz i didnt know if i ever was in that tower

[warm sierra]

#╟📸stalker2™-media

[devout fjord]

Not sure if it's been confirmed, but my theory is these random photos are possibly people who perished in the war during development. Maybe Devs, family, both, who knows.

[gloomy moss]

That was my first thought too!

That would be a really nice way to honor those people. Maybe GSC will tell us at some point

[devout fjord]

Yep, would have been even cooler if we could collect them and place them in a special place in their memory and receive a small stash location.

or no loot at all, just so we can interact with them in some way.

[gloomy moss]

Could be a cool mod idea, maybe.

If you stumble upon one of these cards, you can "collect" them and they will be displayed in a shelf like in a museum. The shelf could be in an iconic/important place in-game

Although I guess one has to be careful, as the gamification of that might be a bit too much? Could maybe be seen as disrespectful? :S

Would be even nicer if, in the shelf, the photo would have some info about the person (maybe their role in the company, when they died) - if those are fallen soldiers.

[devout fjord]

Right? I had the same idea! Heh...as we return more photos, a memorial is created along the way. Up to them if they want to reward the player. But just interacting them in some way is reward enough for bring us S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2!

Any mod out there that can easily toggle the HUD on/off? My first screnshot of Stalker 2 😄

[raw arch]

Will probably be deleted soon because these screenshots shouldn't be here but look on Nexus for a mod called "Quick Toggle Compass and UI Visibility".. It will allow you to keybind hiding the HUD or Compass or both

[devout fjord]

Awesome, thank you!

[dire needle]

Trees are unreleased but almost ready and normal summer grass with ccons cfg + emergent zone lut

[normal lake]

beautiful sun( im going to die soon i have 4 renegades with guns coming up and i only have 2 slugs left)

[supple vale]

Only a few things were already in the tower, I have a couple hideout furniture mods I added on top

[past bramble]

1st playthrough, died like 30 times now, lovin the game ❤️

[left veldt]

I wish I could play this for the first time once again 😢

[past bramble]

I fully understand you! That's why I am taking it real low.

[gritty crest]

Those trees looks 👌

[frail cedar]

Anyone know why lightning absolutely flashbangs my screen forever? and also why i cant screenshot anymore

[celest flame]

why

[fossil lily]

which lut are you using for these ?

[dire needle]

last one at 50%

[fossil lily]

i completely forgot about the new update being able to halve the luts

or set diff %

[earnest anchor]

reposition addon?

[rare tundra]

Absolutely exhausted & starting a new Invictus I end up in rostok forgetting to start with any gear.. and hilariously all of the guards except the Exo Guard were killed by this guy got all the loot here, to bad I forgot to spend my points for a gun & armor

[main ruin]

what reshade is this?

[earnest anchor]

Thx!

[dense veldt]

if anyone know how to fix that it'll be nice

[toxic dune]

portable sun

[dense veldt]

literally

[south holly]

anyone know why my game crashes when i talk to a npc

[hardy rose]

No reshade, only cmaa for anti-aliasing and vignette

[eager owl]

bro's just hanging out

[mossy tiger]

Try moving the stealth overhaul mod to the bottom of ur modlist

[mossy tiger]

What shaders and reshade are these?

[hasty plover]

how do you take screenshots? the screenshots i take are grayed out but i can still see UI. using reshade.

[sleek raft]

Phew, those 2 stashes better have decent loot

[clever badger]

G.A.M.M.A + Project I.N.V.E.R.N.O

[stark smelt]

are you using any reshade/LUT fabio? that first ss has some crazy colors

[clever badger]

Yes, I use both LUT and Reshade(Anomaly Custom preset 2)

Lut from EMERGENT ZONE. As part of Inverno.

[glad socket]

Is there any way to increase the interior brightness?

[fallow cairn]

huh....

[fluid jolt]

Would have loved to played stalker on a proper CRT, giving me late PS1 early PS2 console vibes

[leaden tinsel]

How do I see in third person?

[fluid jolt]

Settings, control, keybinds, right at the bottom

[peak wyvern]

My heart skipped I bit when I thought I gave him the document that I've almost lost my ironman to 3 burers in agropom underground

obs: to have this conversation, you must take the quest from military, fight all monsters, then get the document then talk with reefer (the bandit in the stairs)

[zenith cairn]

a remake(remastered? idk lol) of a screenshot i took from the gamma modpack but in stalker 2

its a little dark for some reason...

[hallow shard]

Looks like realistic darkness to me

[zenith cairn]

in game it honestly doesnt look like the screenshot at all as it is much brighter and you are able to see the details much better on the building

its probably something to do with windows print screen thingy but im not too sure

there we go

[urban cobalt]
