Just GAMMA with a little reshade on top.

Preview of flashlight btw for those curious, its pretty soft

[naive bluff]

[pastel tangle]

Monolit is light.

[snow raven]

monolit just makes me think of a freedomer who got indoctrinated on a high haha

[rough drift]

same, the red lights are such a nice touch

[feral granite]

witch Visual mods are you all using to get the game to look like this?

[rugged briar]

Overgrown or short but dense?

[agile marlin]

That campfire must have some crazy healing happening...

[astral violet]

personally, I'd go for short but dense. By the way, what are your glove mods?

[rugged briar]

I have "drunk's hands legs and westerners" installed but the hands in the screenshot are just the base gamma ones for the bandit beryil suit

[zenith yoke]

Overgrown looks really cool untill some bushwacker on a hill hides in the foilage

[rugged briar]

yeah, i was tempted to put grass height at 2 to see what it was like but realised thats an awful idea, keeping it a 1.6 for now and see if it hinders gameplay

[timber sky]

I'm the bridge camper now

[slim eagle]

What's the texture pack ?

[drifting wigeon]

Packs, high on most things SSS with slightly higher than default specular min/max and parallax, 8k terrain textures redone

[slim eagle]

Damn... Well most of those mods aren't eye candy related though. I already have C Consciousness Grass & Trees, but that's it.
I'm looking for good puddle reflections and high quality textures in addition to that. What I'm afraid of is SSS tweaking.

[drifting wigeon]

repack, terrain textures, rotten life (find through wayback machine of moddb), glossy puddles, and reinstalling atmospherics for puddles always, then slight tweaks to SSS as I said above if youve got a good rig

[snow raven]

i put IXRTR ontop of those and have those to cover any missing textures, so far so good

[snow raven]

Hippo And Clickrad have a good tutorial walking through the SSS settings, mostly he just recommends you set stuff to default and you can tweak stuff as you wish

[slim eagle]

I see. I kinda wanted to use C Con. Grass and Trees (that I already have) paired with Diolator's Textures Rework. Ended up deleting Diolator's pack because the ground looked funny and I'm pretty sure I had to tweak SSS settings for it to look as intended.

[snow raven]

not too familiar with that pack unfortunately, gfy and ixr have been a godsend though, makes me not miss the environment of s2 as much.

be prepared to eat a lot of memory if you try those though

[slim eagle]

That's another problem I have. Even my good old 4080 Super struggles at a certain point. And I don't want to turn grass density down. Ngl, I also deleted the texture pack because of performance issues. I still had 60fps but sometimes, rarely even, depending on the situation it could dip to the low 50s. And I tried playing in 1440p or 1880p but it's just not the same, even if the performance is completely fixed the visual difference isn't worth it imo.

[snow raven]

sorry, meant more space wise, performance wise honestly can be solved a lot through the SSS video, it helped to tweak some of the drop-down settings. The sliders are optional pretty much unless you really want to increase the water shimmering effects on the ground beneath, etc.

the gfy+ixr take probably around 20-30gb.

also if you have it set to borderless, fullscreen helped me a ton with stutters, especially on fast turns.

[slim eagle]

Oh, space isn't a problem for me.

[snow raven]

ah, yeah textures wont do much to you performance wise, its mostly effects/shadows/etc.

[slim eagle]

But I guess I'll just keep C Con. grass for the moment and wait until the engine supports DLSS.

Tbh the game already looks 10x better with that grass and trees.

[snow raven]

ill post ya my mod list if youre interested, it's not super heavy.

[slim eagle]

Yours looks good but the atmosphere is a tad too dreadful and desaturated imo.
But sure, I could give it a try maybe ? What's the harm ?

[snow raven]

in load order for convenience, there's some stuff you have to disable tho for the texture packs/arrival. The atmospherics are a custom LUT, you'll see it in the modlist, can always change LUTS or do atmos defaults

[slim eagle]

That's a long list.

[snow raven]

not all visual tho, mostly just gameplay stuff (top section gameplay, midsection graphics, bottom audio absolute end of list items that need to be loaded last. Performance wise I'm on a 2070 Super with 1440p and getting 50-60+fps)

[steel belfry]

how did you make the pda messages smaller

[snow raven]

iirc it's either the Sota UI Rework or the Interactive 3D PDA, tbh there's no option in the MCM so it was probably a tick-box in the install process.

[void moon]

Couldn't find this cool binocular texture. Where did you get it?

[mint warren]

interesting effect with snowy weather and TAA

for photoes with arts

isn't too much grain and noize in image?

[raw arch]

#🔨modded-gamma-support <-- belongs here really
You either didn't install the water module of SSS or you are using the SSS24 version of Atmos without having SSS24

[dull oasis]

ohhhhhh I might not have SSS24, I'll try and test :>

[dull oasis]

also I thought i was in the Atmospheric thread, did not mean to post that in this section I am so sorry

[raw arch]

If you didn't manually buy it from Ascii's kofi, then you don't have it :)
GAMMA has SSS23.5 so it requires the Atmos that does not say SSS24 in the file name

[dull oasis]

I did not know that, perfect. thank you so much ❤️

[visual raft]

It's my own reshade I am building on top of a LUT that is made by Kumo

[visual raft]

if you scroll up a little bit you see some other weather types and time of day

[coarse granite]

ok

gotta play with some color settings, but fine for now i guess

[astral violet]

may I ask what's in your reshade?

[visual raft]

Will be releasing it eventually

[livid fox]

[astral violet]

mods, luts/reshade?

[copper trail]

added some mods

[livid fox]

it looks nice

[west plume]

Misery based ground textures, sickhowls grass tweaks, grass and trees by panceride, IXRTR textures, and chroma density lut by monulith. No reshade used

[frosty forum]

Is there an 8k Misery based ground textures?

[west plume]

From what i know no there isn't

[snow raven]

ah, i always get jumpscared there haha

[tulip garden]

I've also got an RF package sitting in there too so I gotta grab that as well. I've been jumpscared a few times by mercs in there

[autumn arrow]

[rotund leaf]

Why does everyone recommend to default SSS? If you crank up the settings it’s visibly better looking? Most settings are pretty low by default.

[raw arch]

Atmos and other weather mods come with SSS scripts that changes the settings based on the weather mod.. So if you hit default, you're not really defaulting it.. You're loading the script which loads the values of the weather mod.. That's just how it is done.. After that you can go ham with specific settings like "Low --> Ultra"
Atmos and other weathers are mainly at a low level so that anyone can just use what it comes with and go.. The beefier PC people will have to adjust

[rotund leaf]

Ok cool, your explanation makes sense.

its actually just my own "modpack" (wouldnt call it that theres like 60 mods)

how did you get that ambience light on the lightnings?

[dire needle]

ig installing arrival or editing lights in config in dao/gamedata/config/zones/zone_electra or something like that

[slim eagle]

What a suspicious way to go.

[slim eagle]

These ground textures are amazing... What's the mod ?

[bold tundra]

Misery Based Terrain Textures 2.8

[slim eagle]

And what's the grass ?

[bold tundra]

C Consciousness Grass & Trees v0.71

[slim eagle]

Oh. That's what I use and I didn't recognize it lol

[bold tundra]

possibly due to the lighting

[slim eagle]

Possibly. I still can't bring myself to mod the game to this extent. I'd like to find a tutorial on youtube or something, I have no idea what's I'm doing. At least C Con. grass & trees was an easy install.

[proud beacon]

anyone have tutorial for installing ccon grass?

[slim eagle]

Download it, click on the "Install a new mod from an archive" button (top left just below "File" menu), select the CCon grass .zip and follow instructions. Make sure it's at the end of the mods list, and voilà.

[proud beacon]

is this the right install? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ccon-grass-n-trees

[slim eagle]

Yup.

[proud beacon]

awesome thanks

@slim eagle what did you mean exactly by end of mod list? its all the way at thhe bottom rn for me under "GAMMA disabled"

[slim eagle]

Yeah, that's good. Me too. It should have the priority set to 800.

[proud beacon]

hmm ok my prio is set to 780 but ill launch it and hope for the best lol

id like to mod more visual stuff in but am afraid i will break my save file

[slim eagle]

Same.

[slim eagle]

If you've got the rig for it I'd recommend IXRTR texture pack too, just did it and it looks godly with CCon grass.

[proud beacon]

do i install same way?

[slim eagle]

Yes.

[proud beacon]

able to link it ?

[swift ice]

Damn, I don't believe this is anomaly

[swift ice]

The most annoying thing is that I have a powerful computer, but I can't set up good graphics for myself because everyone everywhere offers presets of ready-made settings for weak PCs, and setting up SSS and ATMOS myself is too difficult for me.

[raw arch]

Gotta appeal to the masses otherwise no one will use your stuff.. There are still people using DX8 for who knows what reason when an entry level DX11+ GPU is the price of a packet of cigarettes..
An "Ultra" preset that loads specific SSS values for higher end computers would be cool.. But I also see why they did it.. There's a reason games like Fortnite and League look the way they do.. The more that can play it, will

[swift ice]

Erandis, tell me what I can use to adjust this damn lighting. No matter how much I try to adjust it, mine is either very dark or everything is overexposed. But in your screenshots, hippo, kuma, everything looks just great. I don’t understand. Are we really playing different games?

well the last one it is xd

[desert sapphire]

the first one it isn't, I think its pretty good

[dull oasis]

I think the first one is better because no forest fires were fueled by it

theres a lot of forests to be burnt to get to this graphics... jk

hey guys would you recommend rotten life or ATO5 graphics mod for anyone that has used both

im currently using rotten life but just found ATO5

[odd bone]

The fact that GPT didn't turn 58fps to 1fps was the most false thing in that screenshot.

[green linden]

Spring has sprung

[spark pasture]

what grass mod?

[desert sapphire]

true, my cpu would explode
fking rx 9070 getting 60fps here. gotta upgrade from i7 8700

[dull oasis]

rotten, ATO 5 is very frowned upon. it's doodoo (which I also just learned recently)

[spark pasture]

oh how come?

[dire needle]

yes there’s nothing special in this pic slight tweaks to sun/sky brightness, more sunshafts, maybe lil bloom and different color grading, but this is game with realtime and multiple levels what looks good here might look like shit somewhere else

[green linden]

Both Aydins mods that come with Gamma just right click it in the mod menu and reinstall it select the spring for all options and replace

[dull oasis]

afaik, it conflicts with stuff and runs like poop

but I am pretty sure other's can give a more elaborate answer

[spark pasture]

okay i am using c con might have to switch back and play around cause your ss looks good

[desert sapphire]

idkk, if it looked like this at every other level and moment it should be more demanding no? modding wise and wig
clicked enter by accident*

[dire needle]

no what i said would cost the same as current image maybe 1-2 fps more cuz bloom/sunshafts

[dull oasis]

color grading can go miles

[desert sapphire]

gotcha
but comparing to the other SS, it would be really no different to wig demanding and performance wise? Idk shiet about this, so just asking

[dire needle]

no you use all those techniques already in your game or most of it only difference is in configuration of weather, color grading, etc

[desert sapphire]

hmm thats interesting

[sterile girder]

Guys! I fixed my first medium armor! So proud of myself

[bright shell]

So lucky to have my stash in a chemical anomaly.

[rough drift]

that bloom gives a really good aesthetics

[sterile girder]

I'm also using more saturated colors together with the twilight plus reshade, which desaturates everything. So now I have this weird mix of saturated and desaturated. Also with some manual saturation/desaturation of different colors.

[sterile girder]

Well, I can't make the game look like this without the menus also looking like that.

I am not proficient enough, you could say.

If I turn off the effect responsible and/or the bloom, many good things will disappear, but the menus will look (more) normal.

[dim quest]

Your contrast is too high, it seems to me, and the color scheme is a bit off.

But that's a matter of taste.

[sterile girder]

I especially like those two things, so yes 🙂

[sterile girder]

I especially like the bloom around the name of the npc here. And I can't have this be there without the menus looking like that.

[sterile girder]

And here for example I think the color scheme is just perfect.

Jeez dude

I think that your bloom is the one making these radioactive ass colors

Where can I find the Atomspheric RC6.6? I tried to check Reshades and couldn't find it there.

Once it is done I will post it 🙂

[dull siren]

hm they get kinda cozy here......

[desert sapphire]

yeah, well I just put my ss in gpt and told him to make it better, didn't try to make a good prompt

[cunning crest]

"to this level"? i mean you already got ssr in stalker. for gpt smoothness you can disable taa and texture filtering.

[desert sapphire]

can I get that image quality comparing it to my first screenshot? Tried a bit but no luck

[cunning crest]

increase saturation / make pretty LUT (i think you can do color transfer. yoink it from ur second gpt screenshot)
use NNAA to simulate gpt artifacts (apply sharpen filter before running nnaa)
unfuck your lumscale settings

NNAA:

'gpt filter' at its finest.

[desert sapphire]

well Ill try, but Im not a settings savvy, I will probably break my visuals xd, or the reshade
I was using phroZac_zone79 I think, switched to kumo's lut iris and reshade now

no matter what i do and what settings i tweak ill never be a match for the people of this channel and their parallax effects

[quasi parrot]

few hours ago I posted my settings file in this channel, take a look

[lunar epoch]

found it, many thanks

[lunar epoch]

did you not tweak sss at all? pretty sure the ltx is just for game settings and not sss though i might be wrong

[quasi parrot]

ssfx are parameters from SSS as if I remember correctly

this is my full user.ltx file so everything I use (beside reshade) is there

[lunar epoch]

hmm interesting, i didnt see much change in my SSS thats why i asked, maybe we just have similar settings and im unlucky af

[unique smelt]

poor guy, he didnt finish his meal....

[quasi parrot]

I think the gloss factor from the glossy puddles mod increases the parallax effect (in the sense of impression)

[lunar epoch]

truth be told ive also kind of noticed that

[steady bison]

thats chat , or LVs instructions on how to do it from above 😄

[dire needle]

that's like 5 min with reshade lightroom shader and weather editor and looking on/off reference photo copying color grading would make no sense since og photos were on atmos or smth else and im on different weather etc..

[steady bison]

right, still looks quite interesting, not sure about playing like that but on pics at least looks great

[dire needle]

not playable unless u gonna make/tweak whole weather aroud retarded color grading

[dark brook]

Did you know that you can mark some consumables as favorite ?

[outer grove]

Yes I do. Does that help in any way other than sorting?

[dark brook]

Yes, basically you spend much less time poping post heal items. Also, they appear on top of containers / bodies that you loot !

[outer grove]

you spend much less time poping post heal items.
I don't quite see how. That'd imply the regular first aid items would have some counteracting against limb damage.

Also, they appear on top of containers / bodies that you loot !
I assume you mean they appear more frequently? If so, that's great.

[clever badger]

That's an interesting interpretation of "on top"

[hearty jungle]

assume you mean they appear more frequently
No, they just appear on top of the container when they show up, but not any more frequently

[lost coral]

Basicaly easier to loot when in a rush

[outer grove]

Oh, I see now. At the top of the loot list. The sorting is changed.

It may matter more towards the endgame when I stop looting every little thing.

[outer grove]

I'd interpret it as intended if it said "at the top".

[dark brook]

Not more frequently but on top of the items

[outer grove]

Thanks, G. I interpret containers as the objects you can open which contain loot. I understand what you mean now though.

Is that with default settings 😮

In cordon, when i move, foliage in the background look jaggedy and too sharpened - i suspect its an antialiasing issue or something?

Maybe i should try motion blur

Oops, forgot the artefacts.
After roughly 18h, and yes—I repaired it from scratch.

Man, I'm so fucking rusty after not playing for like 2 years. It took me 3 game days just to get out of cordon lmao

I mean, it didn't help that I kept getting ambushed by controllers but still...

How long time did you have to spend?

Inside a stash by the campfire dead center on the level.

[thorn tapir]

Idk how you choose between all those weapon on which to carry with you lol. I grabbed tons to repair, only repaired two so far but I can’t choose between because I like both!

[outer grove]

It's mostly depending on which area I'm planning to go through, and also ammunition count.
E.g. To Red Forest I bring an AR and a shotgun.
To Limansk I bring an AR and a sniper rifle.
To Military Warehouse I bring a shotgun and a sniper rifle.

Terrain and type of opposition plays a big part in my decision making.

[thorn tapir]

That makes much sense. Great to have so many options ^^

[outer grove]

Always keep in mind:
One is for humans, one is for monsters.

[unborn star]

And one is for Monolith

[delicate sable]

I usually always have a shotgun and a primary. The primary is most times a mid-large range rifle and rarely a sniper.
If I am doing quests where I don't expect any additional weight, I always bring shotgun, midrange, sniper.

[outer grove]

Once I get a grenade launcher..

[delicate sable]

Also.. If you can't decide between two: Have you looked at the weight?

[thorn tapir]

I normally always had an AR and then a sniper rifle, but then I realized that what you're saying, mutants lmao, so I began carrying a shotgun with me always. Weight is super important yeah! I normally used to go for a saiga as shotgun, but I'm actually growing quite fond of the sawn off toz 66 in my current gameplay, after having spent so many hours with it being my only proper weapon lol

[unborn star]

I have a suggestion

get a saiga and you won't need an AR

although you'll have to use two types of ammunition though.

[outer grove]

Eeeeh, I don't necessarily agree with this assertion.
The weight of shotgun shells outweigh AR cartridges by a lot.

[unborn star]

true

but the power of saiga cannot be underestimated

:>

[outer grove]

Certainly not, but someone can take advantage of the reload time since Saiga is fed by magazine.

[unborn star]

yep

[dark brook]

Cool. I think that's pretty rare in AW

[outer grove]

It is rare.
I admit this run has been quite blessed.

[dark brook]

There's no dedicated nade launcher in GAMMA

Only attachments

[outer grove]

[dark brook]

Bulldog 6 is stupidly OP

Also. If you want one, you gotta loot it right ?

Do you want to see monolith with Bulldog 6 ?

[outer grove]

...

Fair point.

Isn't that what the Barrett would be a perfect counter for?

What about the RPG-7?

[dark brook]

RPG 7 I think you can find some

[outer grove]

[outer grove]

In addition, the Nosorog dropped from a Monolith patrol in the northern Red Forest.

[dark brook]

You were pretty lucky xD

Nosorogs are rare, and exos have 40% chance to drop only

[outer grove]

Oh. That's why I saw three different kinds in that one visit of Red Forest..

40% is a relatively high chance.

[unborn star]

yep

[outer grove]

But I still agree that finding a Nosorog on my first visit to RF on this run is very lucky by circumstance.

[unborn star]

well

this didn't last long

xDDD

[outer grove]

100% fair. You can manually decrease the chance yourself in the Outfit Drops menu. Stands currently at 30%, after I found all these exo skels I dropped it to 15%

[unborn star]

Oh yeah, for sure.

There are 15 controllers lurking in these Swamps.

See if you can find them in this wacky picture from the Zone!

[slow gust]

Nah.

Fuck the Swamp.

Or, at least, fuck it when it was radioactive as all Hell.

I'd prefer the Forest.

[outer grove]

I prefer Anomaly Swamp over Clear Sky Swamp

At least in Anomaly you can move through water.

[slow gust]

I mean... that was kinda the point.

I thought it made Swamp more interesting and dynamic as a place to go.

Navigating through it like that.

[outer grove]

Just because it was the point doesn't necessarily make it good.
It became unnecessarily slow.

[slow gust]

I personally disagree. But that's just me.

[outer grove]

We can agree to disagree.

[slow gust]

Yee.

[leaden jetty]

Water half shin deep shouldn’t slow at all. Half thigh perhaps slow but to sprint in it requires a faster stamina drain because you going against the water weight. Just me and my realism itch

How do you get the UI to come back? I'm still familiarizing myself with all of GAMMAs changes. Like which addons need to be disabled?

[torpid mauve]

i just installed old dog hud and put it in high priority above bhs and some changes

and then in game i went to the addons options menu and changed bhs to text mode

[clever badger]

Thanks. I might try turning off BHS. I'm finding I'm not a fan of it.

You gotta invest way too many resources to keep yourself healthy in the hobo phase. Makes it much harder to get any momentum going in a run IMO.

[unborn star]

wait what is BHS?

[hot lava]

the healing system

[clever badger]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/100-groks-body-health-system-redux-for-151

[hot lava]

you can turn easy healing in the scripts as a stopgap, so medkit and the like just straight up heal you

[unborn star]

But it won't break the game if I don't use it, right?

Because while I kind of 'like' this realistic feature, it's simply not very fun to play with.

[clever badger]

I'm not sure. I'm gonna turn that off along with the Body Health Balances to see if the game will work properly. From what I can tell those are the only two files that add/change the same files so turning them both off should be fine on a new game.

[torpid mauve]

no, i don't think so, just find it in the modlist and click it to see what other addons conflict with it, i'm sure there is one that is a rebalance of the bhs, so you need to disable that too

[dark brook]

Oooh it's dark :o
