Every time I launch this game I’m shocked it looks this good

[jaunty field]

mans grass density is in the negatives

them roses are just single standing lmfao

tulips or poppies whathaveyou

[summer fractal]

sdalger....................

[jaunty field]

why everyones grass density so low

[mint barn]

Shit is cranked idk what you’re talking about

[jaunty field]

top pic?

[mint barn]

It might be a little low, but I’m also not trying to have my pc explode

Idk about low density

[jaunty field]

this looks great

[raw arch]

The grass that covers the roads are not supposed to be dense.....

Mine is also cranked up yet patchy on roads.. That's how it should be..

[mint barn]

i think it was just that one area of garbage lmao

[jaunty field]

where is that

[mint barn]

the enterance to agrprom right by train

run west from where the butcher is, towards the train and go to the left of it

[jaunty field]

guys what are the biggest fps suckers

[raw arch]

Grass density and radius
Reshade
16k textures

[mint barn]

Yeah 16k textures is a bit overkill imo

I run 4K and it looks pretty good

[jaunty field]

i go 2

is left or right

which one is worse

[mint barn]

I cannot tell the difference tbh

[jaunty field]

[mint barn]

What changes between the two

Reshade stuff?

For reshade, I’m a big proponent of less is more

I only use my reshade for AA

[jaunty field]

i also go with less is more

1680 x 1050 is left

1920 x 1080 is right

[mint barn]

The right looks a little bit brighter? But yeah other than that I see exactly zero difference

[jaunty field]

the wideness of the scope

it

it just'

lemme show yall the increase in perf

[mint barn]

Did you just zoom out your fov?

[jaunty field]

no

didnt touch it

so for the 1680 x 1050 is 60 fps solid

[thin raven]

Me with 190 radius💀

[jaunty field]

1920 x 1080 is 30fps @mint barn

ok now guys

is there a difference

[mint barn]

i htink wiht my settings i get 35-50 in most areas

[thin raven]

Repost because bloom pretty

[raw arch]

And that's why both of you need to try and optimize your games more including either getting rid of reshade or disabling a bunch of bloat in it.. Fella gets 30 on 1080 and you get 35-50.. Why do I sit on 115-125? My PC isn't the beefiest thing out there.. It's just a 3060 increasing grass density causes overlapping (depending on your grass mod).. Other grass mods look horrible without density but it's so poorly optimized that increasing the density just for it to look good drops fps by half.. Same goes for texture packs.. Some are just eating vram like mad while others (who use the same texture sizes), just work well..

[jaunty field]

im actively working on optimising. whats your specs

please include gpu as despite what people say. gpu is important as tests suggest gpu usage is at 100%. always or 99% of the time

[raw arch]

RTX 3060
32GB RAM
Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Even with my old i5-10400F I didn't go below 70fps in most areas

[jaunty field]

yeah i used to be consistently at 90fps

i dont even know what happened

[raw arch]

And I'm using Arrival with Ultra Seeds+Leaves, Rotten Life 4k, CCon Grass+Trees 8k, Weather Expansion, and many others

[raw arch]

If you want to squeeze out even more you can turn off grass shadows and only use the grass shadows provided by SSS.. Maybe set it to High or above that and you'll get even more

if thats what u mean

broken hemi trees?

[past remnant]

problems with lighting

[stone lagoon]

Would that be the white band lookin' section on the tree in that last screenshot? Wanting to know what to look for to make sure I don't have it in mine

[dire needle]

i don't see it in microchel ss but vanilla anomaly maps have fucked up light parameters for flora

[stone lagoon]

Ahhhh, I see! That makes sense- thanks for the explanation!

[dire needle]

like 3 bushes are normally lit but one next to it is super bright

it's super noticeable when u set lumscale hemi above 1,5

[past remnant]

yes, so you will also need to configure a bunch of parameters in SSS and weather.

[past remnant]

• when you use non-vanilla 3D models, problems also appear that are not entirely clear how to solve

[dire needle]

i heard it's compiler problem

[past remnant]

?

[dire needle]

but im not sure

mfb was yapping smth about this few moths ago

[past remnant]

hmm

well, I rather meant that, for example, the wind from sss does not work with meshes that are not made of vanilla

Sometimes the foliage swings apart from the trunk of the tree (

[dire needle]

yep

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VU10efWehg

iirc when branches were connected to trunk it was working normally

[fiery pike]

https://tenor.com/view/kouni-gif-27111203

[past remnant]

хмм

ой биля

intresting...

We need to check it out if this is true...

[dire needle]

it's missing trunk collisions and fuflo since i didn't care about this it was visual test only - but that's how ive made and set my tree models

[past remnant]

you get create location?

[dire needle]

i was messing lil bit with sdk

wanted to replace trees w/o spawn like 1st anomaly custom maps but it's too much work for 1 person to make new models and replace em

after that i would probably replace stalin statue in dead city with my own for doing so much work

[past remnant]

Ask Kryron how you can quickly replace models.

he should definitely know that.

[dire needle]

I was thinking of exporting sdk scene to blender with anomaly trees decompiled and using scripts to replace for example all 3 vanilla poplar models with my own trees from list

but to do this good i need to make around 100 different tree models

and rn i have 20 or smth like that

[past remnant]

you use decompile

.?

[dire needle]

i used kryiron sdk that he shared and from decompiled maps i only use trees to have thier position rotation and scale

[past remnant]

The sdk he posted wasn't decompiles, it was source

[dire needle]

yep ik

[past remnant]

But be careful, there may still be differences with vanilla.
They are often small, but Limansk differs from vanilla with new open territories.

[dire needle]

Thanks

[past remnant]

There's just no difference to Kryron, he's going to completely redo everything.

But it seems to me that he took too much on himself.

[dire needle]

Yeah sadly i can imagine how much work he does

You guys also redoing story and other spawn elements like npc placement, ai waypoints etc..?

[past remnant]

I'm Kryron's childhood best friend.

I'm doing a Anomaly Custom location with him.

[raw arch]

Tell him to not give up..

And gl

[vernal gale]

one task, like this specially, will take years

he is doing a great job, slowly, but carefully

[past remnant]

its true

It's true that his current task in Anomaly Custom will take a lot of time, he's been doing 3-5 locations for 6 months now.

Speed tree makes too fancy tree models they are too good looking compared to rest of 20yo models on maps

Im using TreeIt fast free easy to learn for tree models and for branch textures i have speedtree textures that ive made for vanilla trees

[stone lagoon]

I know this is a real case-by-case basis question but like... how hard is level editing exactly? I'm assuming quite, since I don't see too many map mods.

[raw arch]

I can't speak much because I don't know shit but from the little that I understand, it's "easy" in comparison to actually add it to the game.. You have to change quite a lot to actually get it on the map with spawns.. Even worse with quests and stashes.. And then you need to change a big file in base Anomaly to make sure your level transitions work properly which can break unknown things.. Ex. Everything will work fine but the final door in the monolith war lab will crash the game.. And you'll never know unless you test literally everything and hope for the best..

From what I saw, making maps is easy.. Making good maps is hard.. Implementing them is so daunting that no one wants to do it..

[raw arch]

And I'm fucked

really good

but it has 1 big flaw

its still a poplar

[past remnant]

it's not difficult, if the community did more and whined less about the lack of an SDK and took the CoC 1.4 SDK and adapted it a long time ago, everything would have been possible

the author of the modpack antology did just that

[vernal gale]

Yep, this needs to be a multi task progress
With multi team for any task
Some people do the shaders, some do the mapping some do the modelling and so

How's your sun look with those settings? That's the only problem I seem to be getting with ccon_neutral is that I can't seem to find a sweet spot where the sun isn't greyed

yeah thats been a bit of an issue, couldn't push the brightness too high or everything is washed out, I fixed the sun as best I could with a slight tint adjustment (towards blue) of -48 in reshade, that was the most natural I could get the sun to look. It's definitely a LUT that prioritizes the foliage, while atmos makes the sunlight feel better but has less depth to foliage

First floor is unmodified, just a killzone while the second floor is slowly becoming more and more of a barracks.

[midnight canyon]

Would you mind dropping the location?

[midnight zodiac]

Right by the entrance of the dead city teleport, past the root anomaly. Just before the forest/park area with the first Monolith baracade in front of the anomalies and invisible wall

[forest gull]

Correct, and the SSS lighting settings turned up a little from default

[fathom shadow]

added some more moss to achieve better blending with grass

[clever badger]

I saw your work on artstation, it's amazing

[open thistle]

Just killed its colleague, he just stands there and ready to offer me an job.

[lyric monolith]

You made these textures from scratch or used Megascans?

[fathom shadow]

It’s mixed techs but yeah megascans is a base

[fathom shadow]

Form scratch would require much much more time and effort

[lyric monolith]

best stone textures i`ve seen in stalker

problem is blend in mostly, you nailed it

There's Just something about level 1 NVG goggles and hunting mutants and monsters. Its just so analogue horror vibes, It feels as if the trees are watching you and the pixeleted stars just make the sky seem almost fake or uncanny...and I dont think it gets appreciated enough for it and making you still feel small and vunreable despite this equipment meant to be a counter to the dangers of the dark. It gives me the creeps, like if I look back on these photos im going to see something, a figure or being in the far background or standing between the cars...

@timber swallow hey brother, could you share your sss setting, grass mod and cfg_load file this looks gorgeous

[timber swallow]

You don't need my settings. Just dl and install emergent zone lut datura @ 75%, set all sss to high and install pancerides grass and trees and ato 5 then watch your fps burn! 😆

[fringe mural]

@timber swallow did you do alot of testing? What would be the difference in fps for panceride and Ccon compare to aydin if density and render is the same

[timber swallow]

I'm getting 50-55 fps @1440p on a 12th gen i7, 3080 8gb laptop gpu, 64gb ddr5 ram. good enough for me.

[clever badger]

How hot is that gpu?😜

[timber swallow]

❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 but I have a two powerful fan homemade system blasting from underneath.

[clever badger]

Laptop gaming is very hot😅👍

[clever badger]

Yeah that’s enough 😀

[fringe mural]

@timber swallow but hows the fps difference between aydin / pance / ccon

[timber swallow]

Why would I test when aydin is outdated and c-con is so vanilla? I like Pance for variety and the og look.

Would say c-con has the edge on performance though because for pance, you have to ramp up the detail density for good coverage.

[tranquil thunder]

[fathom shadow]

finally! we have proper new bricks with no shadows on diffuse map! will add some more parallax later

[dire needle]

How it can be outdated like its vanilla textures fixed and recolored w/o scrips or some other shit it was done and didn’t need any further updates

[fringe mural]

@dire needle thats what he told me, i dont know if its outdated or not😂

[stark smelt]

it's not outdated, that's straight up hallucination

it's still being worked on + it's the only grass mod to ever change basically everything related to the grass visuals

[fringe mural]

Chill i never even say it was outdated

[stark smelt]

well i mean, hopefully it's still being worked on...
the creator has alcoholism and he's usually high on opioids as well

[stark smelt]

nah i was just referring to the original comment

[nocturne geode]

Bro, CCON is the most vanilla grass mod I’ve ever seen. It’s like someone opened MS Paint, scribbled green with the airbrush tool, and called it a day. The albedo looks like it was exported in 2012 using JPEG compression at 60% quality, and the normal map? Might as well be a flat gray texture labeled “do not use.” You can literally feel the RTX 5090 struggling to render that uninspired chlorophyll. No subsurface scattering, no detail blending, no wind shader—just static, depressed turf. It’s like the author found a single Creative Commons grass photo, tiled it 8x, and called it "stylized." Meanwhile, other mods are out here blending photogrammetry with triplanar projection and 16-bit masks, and CCON's still stuck in “Unity terrain tutorial Day 1.” I’ve seen Roblox games with more vegetation fidelity.

[fringe mural]

@stark smelt quick question i was told my game looked bad and was told to adjust the white and black to get a better picture, can i share with you 2-3 picture so i can try to get better result?

@nocturne geode whats your go to grass?

[stark smelt]

I mean sure, we've also got Norfair here

[stark smelt]

@dire needle this is literally a perfect 1:1 description of c con

[fringe mural]

@stark smelt

Picture arent 2k so theres a bit of difference in game

[stark smelt]

just needs a bit more contrast i guess

[fringe mural]

Im also trying to fix the big black shadow in the grass, i think its aydins related tho but not sure, im running with grass shadow but even off its stil there

[nocturne geode]

step 1. get ccon
step 2. tf_mipbias -1
step 3. profit

[fringe mural]

Whats the performance of ccon if i would run same grass setting as aydin

[nocturne geode]

ccon has custom grass placement so you can get away with less density. smth like r__detail_density 0.38
and r__detail_height 0.85

[stark smelt]

pretty sure that's SSS AO

[dire needle]

[fringe mural]

Alright im saving these comment

[nocturne geode]

same as aydin idk but you can get better performance bc it's more dense by default

with other grass mods (every single other one so far) you need to crank density to the max to get a decent result and basically kill framerate

[fringe mural]

Does autumn looks good compare to summer?

thats subjective

everyone basically uses summer alt

that should speak by itself

[nocturne geode]

for SSS luts you can get from #1224348512280379494

[fringe mural]

Thank ill try to stack all of these

[stark smelt]

pov you're pipnik in your last moments

[nocturne geode]

yeah just click "reset" on every sss submenu. it will use the settings from your last loaded files. (by default, 70% of those are from atmos and 30% from SSS22) if you have CCON LUT you have to press reset because it comes with more sss configs

[dire needle]

Yes

I was talking about aydins. Read it again dummy.

[nocturne geode]

if im not mistaken some of the grass textures from Aydin's pack comes from Absolute Nature. Same as other grass recolor mods. So like, 15 year old textures, yeah

http://absolute.crommcruac.com/

Aydin has custom handmade mipmaps though, that's one of the cool features

[raw arch]

We are all talking about a ~10yr old game having outdated mods? Wut

@stark smelt i did all you said today and result looks good i think

did Ccon and SSS reset + emergent lut

for sum reason autumn Ccon was good but have weird bright color with sun so took the summer one

you might reduce r2_sun lumscale command

[fringe mural]

anyone know if using the mod gamma HDR reduces fps ? ( hdr on windows too)

[surreal tree]

this is what stalker 2 screenshots and trailers look like while the gameplay graphics are completely different

[vernal gale]

well, this is not lie or something hard to achieve

but performance is a bit, yea

[surreal tree]

i think that the devs should've just upgraded the x-ray engine, Unreal slop 5 ruined it all🙏

[vernal gale]

nah, they should just stick to UE4 from first trailer

upgrading an old engine need time and money

but let's give them same amount of cyberpunk

they deserve it

[surreal tree]

still, i think that unreal is not the way, i prefer gameplay over graphics

[vernal gale]

same

gamma is way more fun for me than stalker 2

stalker 2 just feels a bit, hmm, empty?

[surreal tree]

and yk why? its bcs its made from the community, from the stalker players that created what they REALLY wanted

[vernal gale]

yea

[surreal tree]

not even mods fill it, gamma 2 will not exist probably

[vernal gale]

exactly

they need at least fix the performance
i have never seen an UE5 game with good performance

and then modding tools and support

[surreal tree]

its not ab fixing but the base in what they created the game, yes a good crafts man doesn't blame its tools but, he needs a good place to sleep and eat

UE5 had a floor and pieces of molden bread

[turbid mica]

Stalker 2 was fun, I enjoyed it

[fringe mural]

Does this screenshot looks good for people not having HDR?

[mint barn]

How do you get the parallax, only have it some textures and not others

Oh that’s new rotten life I’m a dumbass

[crimson mango]

am i able to just get pack e without touching any of gamma's spawner mods?

[dawn juniper]

there is something with zcp? the zone project whatever thing

also need re:bound

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/rebound-encounters1

[crimson mango]

any mods you disabled for this?

[dawn juniper]

i used it on my own anomaly modlist, but i doubt it has any conflicts with gamma

i dont really recommend using it, because the loot is really op from the animals

[tepid hare]

It's normal, ue5 highly encourage devs to use stupid tech like nanite and lumen because it make dev faster. UE is PURE garbage. Fixing stalker2 mean completely redo everything from scratch and it will never be like old stalkers, it's just not the same people anymore who dev it.

[crimson mango]

ah okay thanks for letting me know

[prisma vault]

What a bunch of PFM-1 mines can do to a monolithian assault

[timber cobalt]

I have never seen an UE4 game with good performance either, so it was not a surprise for me

[vernal gale]

actually i play some with good performance, like ark survival evolved

[raw arch]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13fBpqSK7G9Peet-rbLgcjgmlMtIPGe0hS8SVQDuhWhY/edit?usp=sharing

Just follow this if you really want it.. It's not as simple as some say

[vernal gale]

but it's just about the dev

UE is easier to setup than other engines

so they just get a big budget and some artist and designers for graphics, one poor man for code, and yea then just drag and drop right ?

[dire needle]

Days Gone was made on ue4

bulletstorm was made on ue4

but also ark that have shitty perf is on ue4

Don't hate tool, hate user that can't use it right

[vernal gale]

yea, even ue5 is good, just need the right guys

i don't want to say what's going on in the background but everyone knows the issue

and yea

[obsidian rover]

sandstorm is also on UE4
ue5 games having shitty performance is funny because ue5 is the same thing as UE4 but with some graphical additions, if you get rid of those you have the exact same thing

[vernal gale]

yea

like ark survival ascended

no freaking option to turn off ray traced lights

you have to do it trough ini

and now days devs don't give fuck about older devices to make lower graphics a bit prettier

like if you go form ultra to high, you will end up with glitch

[dire needle]

pumping their pockets while buying pre orders and saying its al right they fix it later wont fix this problem

[fair bone]

Essentially, you are pre-ordering a beta test of the game

S2 is an example

[crimson mango]

i followed and it brought down my fps quite a bit sadly. might try it out when i get my new cpu later this month

mod looks awesome wish it didnt tank my perf

[dire needle]

if it was only about beta tests of buggy mess worst part is most games get's simpler and dummer for each next release

[fathom shadow]

painted wall retexture

[torn raven]

This is all the addons I put for gamma to give it that extra kick

Disabled some for kvams&Azetrix model merge and arrival

Used badlands v6 reshade from atmospherics, made it a nonsteam game using this

[desert gate]

Did i do something wrong

[torn raven]

And then messed with settings and keybinds and viola. Stalker gamma updated with new anomalies and workable teleporters with controller support. Also turned on black markets and made every monster available on zcp

Fuck I'm sorry spamming. Cuz I'm glad I finally got this setup after a couple months of figuring out. But yea you did something wrong

[forest gull]

Not if you fucking love fentanyl

[thin raven]

Ffr

I got that bug when messing with weather presets

Makes lightning go pitch white on the whole screen you should reload save

[thin raven]

If you need a good controller base to work off of here

[torn raven]

This is what I use. It's a little hard to see but I'm using it en

Rn*

Shit I misread that. I thought you were asking for controller settings

[thin raven]

Long press R1 being the G key is gold

[torn raven]

Also idk how you screenshot ok your computer w/o using steam

[thin raven]

For me the touchpad either wipes gas mask, or throws a grenade

[thin raven]

If you’re on windows look up snip in your search bar bottom left, should be a scissor app

[thin raven]

Also swiping the trackpad for F1-F4 is something I should add, ty

[torn raven]

Yea it's hard to see but it's the same order. I like track pad for quickslots and gas mask for ling press on left dpad

Sry. Long press left for gas mask. Single press for wipe mask. Double press for switching firepower. But those last two I might reverse

Firemode*

[thin raven]

I did square for reload and ammo type, bottom pad key held for fire mode swap

Still gonna copy some of those man nice setup

[torn raven]

Yea some of it might be different cuz I use the quick action wheel mod and use hold triangle for ammo type and double press triangle for item wheel. Thing is you have to be in walk mode (double press circle) and then double press triangle to put away your gun. Also I used L for both circle (double press for headlamp) and r3 (Hold for laser toggle) that's why you see that one twice but yea glad I can share this

[thin raven]

H gets rid of health hud

!hud

[humble pasture]

@fringe mural
Can't see the HUD anymore (ammo counter, PSY bar and mini-map are missing)?

• Press Numpad Enter if you can't see it at all.
• If you have a TKL keyboard without Numpad - go to Settings > Video > UI/HUD, turn on HUD: show
• Or press H if you can see something but not everything.

Only the mini-map is missing?

• Press /

Missing health system (BHS) interface?

• Press H

Can't see weapons or devices when you equip them?
