[sacred stag]

Maybe not

Lasers don't go that big when observed through NVGs.

[random shard]

this is NV off

[sacred stag]

Aha, I got it

You're using a low quality NVG

[random shard]

2nd grade

[sacred stag]

The 1PN93-1 right?

[sacred stag]

The PN21KL?

[random shard]

yes

[sacred stag]

Beef's NVGs right?

[random shard]

what is "beef's"😯

[sacred stag]

Bruv

The shadow based NVG addon

[random shard]

I'm not using any extra mods

just GAMMA provide

[sacred stag]

Inside High Priority category.

[random shard]

hmm...let me check

[random shard]

yes it's ticked

[sacred stag]

Yep

[random shard]

so that is intened

[sacred stag]

You may have possibly found a bug

Try it with other NVGs, if you have them ofc.

If they're the same thing too, then it's probably intended.

[random shard]

ok cool

[dark brook]

Its intended

[sacred stag]

Yep, got em

[dark brook]

For the laser its also intended

[sacred stag]

Muh immersion

[dark brook]

Turn it off during night raids

[sacred stag]

I forgor who is the creator.

[dark brook]

It makes sense anyways

[random shard]

I'm gonna leave it on, respect

[dark brook]

Why would you alert your position with a laser when it's pitch black... ?

[fickle roost]

It could be a laser that is only seen in NVG

[dark brook]

Good luck coding that

[sacred stag]

My goals are beyond your understandings (using DX8 btw).

[fickle roost]

It's not implemented but if you don't know that it makes sense to try and use them (I know I did because I was used to do that in Arma 3 :D)

[dark brook]

Some red dots aren't an issue with NVGs

Usually they are more expensive

I would like laser the be further away and smaller but well...

I can make it smaller, but I cannot making it further without editing each model

[sacred stag]

Oh Grok, are you planning to reanim the ASh-12 aswell?

[random shard]

f it, I will take off this scope during night, yes it makes sense at some degrees because the iris adaptation

[dark brook]

Yes it's planned

Rubra ported a better model already. Cr3pis is working on the texture. And Firebreath will make new anims

Meanwhile I'll add better textures for the toz 34 and the bizon by Blackgrowl and Cr3pis

I'll also need to cut the duplicated guns

I don't like the base game + bas duplicates

I'll also remove the BAS names in the guns and icons

[wintry hamlet]

hope bandits dont end up with tacticool weapons all the time

you will need at least 2 versions of each gun (if it has a tacticool version) one for the poor factions and one for the rich ones

[turbid pond]

I have an enb that makes me unable to see through sights (i have only tried the holo) with a flashlight

i dont have an nvg yet

[dark brook]

Enb ?

Reshade you mean ?

[turbid pond]

yes reshade prevents me

[dark brook]

No they won't don't worry

What I meant is, no sig220 bas and sig220 base game

Only the bas one will be available

No ak47 and ak47 bas

Etc

SKS will be kept

[wintry hamlet]

yea. bas should have removed these base game exact copy pastes but they didnt for some reason

[dark brook]

Because bas ones are tacticool

Etc

[random shard]

I'm thinking maybe this recipe needs some love since the game transforms old ammo to new by default.

[sacred stag]

Nice plan you got there, Grok. Good luck on completing it!

[random shard]

same as all the underbarrel grenades

[sacred stag]

Underbarrel grenades are old for me

Always old

Never new

[turbid pond]

i found the guys from yesterday

[random shard]

1/4 to me at least😂

[turbid pond]

THEY ARE OUT OF THE MAP

[random shard]

this color giving me hallucination

[turbid pond]

it was 1 second before death

tho i dont know how to fix weird scopes

[wintry hamlet]

whatever you did with shaders is overwriting the scope files added in gamma i think

or just putting too much color over it

i still dont know why you have this autistic looking shader on. it hurts the eyes

[turbid pond]

because grass looks washed out otherwise

you can see the low texture the grass uses from far

[wintry hamlet]

why do i care about how bad grass looks from afar

[turbid pond]

i do

[wintry hamlet]

why tho? are you just looking at it all the time thinking "wow thats some really good looking grass"?

[turbid pond]

go touch grass dude

[wintry hamlet]

do you wish it was edible at some point ? looks delicious ?

[sacred stag]

Freedom

He's Freedom

[turbid pond]

i am vegetarian after all

SO IT MAKES SENSE

[sacred stag]

Very much, Mr. Freedom

[turbid pond]

everything can look shitty but if the grass is alright you got me

[wintry hamlet]

we absolutely believe the person that "i dont do drugs"

[turbid pond]

exactly

[wintry hamlet]

i would rather get 10 more fps than get good looking grass that i wont even be looking at

[turbid pond]

im gonna tinker with the enb more after im out of combat

[wintry hamlet]

but if your eyes are just more powerful than mine and dont get burned by those bright colors then you do you

[turbid pond]

cause its a bit bright

[wintry hamlet]

[turbid pond]

it is bright

ive been playing with the reshade for an hour

mhm after the EMISSION

ah its a psy-storm

the scope issue is only happening on the Elcan. Oh well guess i cant use it

[turbid pond]

hmm now with different tonemapping

[sacred stag]

Looks like you're on drugs

[turbid pond]

vignette

[dark brook]

Yeah I have to tweak grenades as well. Or just remove the recipes actually

I hate the fact that you can throw grenades like candy

Or abuse very strong guns like gauss

I actually need to make the gauss use gun parts

[turbid pond]

microwave parts

[dark brook]

I guess i'll just use existing parts

With a twist

I want to put an artefact in there

[random shard]

cool

[dark brook]

Ring most likely

But I'm not sure that it will work

[random shard]

yes acceleration coil

I don;t know what happened but I just pick up A TONS OF AMMO, like 65535 a stack of 5.56

[wintry hamlet]

christ what the heck

and its ap

AP for days

[turbid pond]

now you can prefire every corner you see

[wintry hamlet]

with the most expensive 556 ammo

at first i thought it said 6k.... 65k ap ammo...

[random shard]

it seems like it's dropped from my inventory because I was reloading and found my ammo is missing in my bag somehow ended up on the ground. and I picked up 65535

[turbid pond]

he dupin

[random shard]

I can;t move now, it's like a mountain load

I think I'm bugged, now I can't reload my mags in inventory, and every time I hit R to reload, 60 bullets went in the gun but i only have 30-rounds mag

while being pinned down in a concrete hole by Freedom

at least I can kill freedoms with this

it has something to do with the mag mod for sure, I shouldn't enable that

[turbid pond]

yes i like grass @wintry hamlet

[wintry hamlet]

ik

[turbid pond]

colorful

[wintry hamlet]

[turbid pond]

I HAVE THEM ALL

ALL ALONG

touch grass dude inhales

We Duty men always carry from 5 to 10 packs

[wintry hamlet]

duty? you are on the wrong side breh

[solar nebula]

Doesnt Marijuana give like double the psy resistance than Psy Block?

I would shit my pants if I would meet a controller while high lol

[dark brook]

Mags issue most likely

[random shard]

yes I disabled that mod and my save is no longer working, time to start a new game

[wintry hamlet]

.

[dark brook]

Yes you can't disable mags mid playthrough

[wintry hamlet]

you can just enable it again if you want the save

[random shard]

yes but no, I 'll start a clean one

[wintry hamlet]

ok

[random shard]

too bad I really like this gun

[sacred stag]

what M4 is that?

and who did you got it from?

[turbid pond]

yeah the bullets you got skipped the fact that your gun uses them and used the default 60 round drum that gun normally uses

[turbid pond]

I have found the bare-bones AR-15 only

[sacred stag]

aight, thank you, mate.

[dark brook]

at least you can try the new starting locations + the new tasks + you can even try the new mod I linked in #📎mods-added-for-next-build

[random shard]

cool!! thank you

[random shard]

these mods are not in the current build right? so I download them and put that into gamma's "downloads" folder? I'm not familiar with modding

[dark brook]

Only the new one in #📎mods-added-for-next-build aren't not included

The rest is in

#📢development

[turbid pond]

AFTER ALL THAT TRAVEL

I reach a zone with dangerous psy levels and the only way is going back thru 3 areas and rethinking a new route

im not going back im god-moding it but im gonna run thru not killing anything

[bright peak]

Ah you and your cursed reshade preset

[turbid pond]

ITS THE DANGEROUS PSY LEVEL MAKING AN EFFECT ON MY CHARACTER

[random shard]

looks like someone sh*tting your screen

[turbid pond]

its when you are about to die from psy levels

[bright peak]

Disable the reshade and take another shot, I'm just curious

[bright peak]

[turbid pond]

god-moding

otherwise i died in 10 secs

[bright peak]

Bloom simulator

[turbid pond]

its a demo dude

why you insulting an unfinished product

smh

[bright peak]

Did I insult

[turbid pond]

.

[turbid pond]

.

CURSED

[bright peak]

I mean it looks cursed on that image

Plus all that effect

[turbid pond]

atleast i can see with the reshade on

[bright peak]

Take care tho, don't end up like my man Vans

He had a journey, not knowing he had god mode on, survived multiple emissions

[turbid pond]

if i dont enable god mode on i have to go back 3 areas and re-think my route

thats like an hour of work

[bright peak]

Can you even survive the way back lmao

[dark brook]

Reminds of people discovering some console parameters that GAMMA sets by default

"look look it works so much better now"

gets back to default GAMMA parameters after many hours of fucking with every options

[bright peak]

If you disable collision setting from only actor to off, you disable it for also yourself

[turbid pond]

and im out

[bright peak]

Ah yes, the blue zone.

Are you out of map?

What happened to your minimap

[turbid pond]

i know you hate me but look here

this is how you all like your stalker

dark and depressing

[bright peak]

Nah, hate is a strong word

I like my zone when I can't see shit eh

[turbid pond]

the cyber roam

[bright peak]

[wintry hamlet]

"dark and depressing"

very dark and depressing

i like my colors quite and not all over the place

so base gamma shader and settings are perfect for me

[turbid pond]

im just looking how to make it look more modern

[turbid pond]

while i was doing the memes i found some interesting settings

theres one video on youtube that i love how his game looks but he didnt share his reshade settings

[wintry hamlet]

oh no... here we go. i only murdered about 2 dozens of monolith in a single day on jupiter what could go wrong

[dark brook]

Base GAMMA settings try to be the cleanest while adding new modern features like bloom etc

And not hindering UI or gameplay

And preserving dark nights

I'm still trying to improve weather so the ground isn't super dark with bright skies

Which is often what modded graphics look like in anomaly

[turbid pond]

my visuals are very blue i agree

https://youtu.be/RAX_0GMzljE

im trying to get this look

haha

[wintry hamlet]

disable gamma presets then

breh

you have to start from zero with shader settings

[turbid pond]

oh i will do whatever to get that look

but i dont know which ones

[plucky oak]

just delete reshade in bin folder install aggressor reshade plus weather and grass and restore default user.ltx then tweak it again at your likings. ez pz

You'll prolly have to get rid of enhanced shaders too at this point because idk how well it works with aggressor

[turbid pond]

the agressor reshade has NOTHING changed in it

it looks nothing like the video

[plucky oak]

not even the big ass fake green grass? lol

[turbid pond]

yes

[plucky oak]

yes as?

[turbid pond]

its nowhere close to it

[plucky oak]

then you prolly did a wrong installation

because at least the green grass should looke like that, those are completely different textures from vanilla

[plucky oak]

just do this

[turbid pond]

i will try again

yes

[plucky oak]

also you'll have to reset shader_param controls, i dunno how well aggressor works with enhanced shaders

never tried it with both

honestly i stopped using those shitty ass fake stupid reshades once Kennedith dropped ES on moddb

because you can achieve the exactly same color grading you like with simply console commands, without having reshade

cfg_load grading_blablabla

[dark brook]

I think the Agressor grass is thiner than Anomaly ?

[wintry hamlet]

one thing in gamma i couldnt find a fix for is the really dark (lit) buildings

its the middle of the day and there are lights around this area but its still way too dark

[plucky oak]

Dynamic tonemap extended, set lumscale_amb changing according to decent values

[dark brook]

That's mainly because buildings lighting is so fucking terrible

[plucky oak]

Nah it's because of enhanced shaders lol

vanilla anomaly interior lighting is acceptable

enhanced shaders gives, enhanced shaders takes

[sacred stag]

Wait, how the fuck are monothots hunting bounties????

[wintry hamlet]

they dont

[plucky oak]

dunno, but i guess wrong channel eheh

[wintry hamlet]

if you kill enough of them they send a squad after you

[sacred stag]

Really ?

[sacred stag]

Wait, so killing a bunch would trigger them?

[wintry hamlet]

not really a bounty, just an execution squad

yes

same for all factions

[sacred stag]

Then how tf did the bandits came after me?!

[wintry hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

[sacred stag]

Like, a whole bounty squad spawned nearby me.

[wintry hamlet]

are you sure they were after you? sometimes even random stalkers get a bounty squad after them

[sacred stag]

And I fucking gained more than 2k rep at that time and hurted no one.

[sacred stag]

They were literally after me, followed me. Literal stalkers.

[turbid pond]

i have the feeling he was using sweetfx in the video

[sacred stag]

I got a screenshot about it

Posted it up here too.

[wintry hamlet]

an improvement i would say, thanks

[plucky oak]

Gamma doesn't use dynamic tonemap extended?

[wintry hamlet]

i used the lumscale amb

[wintry hamlet]

idk whats that

[dark brook]

Not it's simply because of the games lightning and beef NVG

[plucky oak]

Yeah but setting lumscale amb manually will fuck up the rest, you'll have shitty nights now

[dark brook]

If you want dark nights and and contrasted shadows during the day + working NVGs early on, you need very low amb

[plucky oak]

Dynamic tonemap does it, dynamically, according to situation

and it works fine on my end

[dark brook]

And that fucks up the buildings

[plucky oak]

i mean i still have shit light sometimes but it's fine

[dark brook]

Some buildings

[plucky oak]

demonizer did a good job

[dark brook]

With dynamic tonemap ?

I have to try it out a bit more

[plucky oak]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dynamic-time-based-tonemap-extended

[plucky oak]

lol it's a must have i'm surprised you don't use it

patches a lot of inconsistencies due to tweaking values that give you a wonderful exterior day lighting with inevitable shit interior lighting/night lighting

[sacred stag]

Cheers mate

it looks good

[sacred stag]

Looking rad mate

[plucky oak]

it's not aggressor at all tho

that looks more like some autumn retexture

aren't you trying to install aggressor grass and shit over an already existing nature retexture, dude?

[turbid pond]

i can see depth in the grass and trees and thats what i like

[sacred stag]

Also for anyone who is saying that a faction will only send squads after you after you kill a lot of them. Explain this: #╟📸screenshots message

I can load back a save to that period and show proof aswell, but let's not get too heated.

[turbid pond]

Vivid

[bright peak]

isn't agressor reshade based on Tarkov?

And Tarkov isn't vivid at all

[plucky oak]

supposedly, yes

[wintry hamlet]

i am not saying that. i am saying thats what they do for me all the time. if you kill enough of them, they send exoskeleton guys after you. the factions that did this before on my runs were bandits/mercs/monolith/renegades(these guys sent a squad after me first day in cordon even when i have not killed anyone)/military

[bright peak]

You'll just get sooo dark interiors and abruptly bloomed outside when it's day.

[plucky oak]

it's based on tarkov with all postfx sliders on max

[bright peak]

Ouch, it fits Tarkov's atmosphere because they did it manually for that game, Anomaly on the other hand is questionable but dynamic tonemap

Never tried it

[sacred stag]

Rip. That's why Renegades are so hated, even by the Bandits lol.

[turbid pond]

im gonna add it to mine

[wintry hamlet]

i was on an efp 2.2 run so i murdered them with a pm pistol...

no ballistics overhaul is easier than we think

too easy

[bright peak]

ofc its easy

[wintry hamlet]

end game guns are shotguns

for everything

[bright peak]

Before GAMMA, I was using a mod which rebalances armor and helmets which I'll put in #╟❓general-offtopic because this isn't the place

[random shard]

even with Grok's ballistic balance?

[turbid pond]

god damn dude i just ran the new reshade

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

You wont believe it

[wintry hamlet]

breh i am talking about efp 2.2 . it didnt have grok's ballistics

[bright peak]

pics

[bright peak]

[turbid pond]

i dont know what happened

[wintry hamlet]

my eyes

[plucky oak]

kekw

[wintry hamlet]

discord light mode

[plucky oak]

did you disable enhanced shaders

[bright peak]

RTX ENABLED

[plucky oak]

or reset user.ltx to reset shader_param controls

or you did nothing of what i said

[turbid pond]

wait i shouldnt use the ltx from agressor?

[plucky oak]

did i say that? lol

[bright peak]

Did you clear cache?

[turbid pond]

now i did that but shader compiling failed

night_vision.h(3,17): error X3003: redefinition of 'shader_param_7'

[bright peak]

[turbid pond]

whenever enchanced shaders get disabled no matter if i cleared cache or ltx

it fails compiling

[bright peak]

Now you are getting into that zone, modding the game yourself, breaking it and now, modding some more

[turbid pond]

classic skyrim experience

[bright peak]

Does it crash launching or loading save?

[turbid pond]

game launch

anyone will probably crash too if they disable enchanced shaders

cause that happened right after i installed gamma

[torpid mauve]

Did you disable the patches that enhanced shader has?

Did you install any mod on top of gamma?

[turbid pond]

no

by patches do you mean shaderdrivenscopes?

[wintry hamlet]

no

[turbid pond]

ah yes beefs nvg

thats probably it

[wintry hamlet]

are you blind?

[turbid pond]

no, i just dont have all tabs opened

[wintry hamlet]

there is a search for a reason

[turbid pond]

glossy is already disabled for me

[turbid pond]

already disabled for me

[bright peak]

Ah, to learn how to fuck up and trying to unfuck all from start again

[wintry hamlet]

learn how to not fuck everything in the first place

[bright peak]

But when you manage to unfuck things, it's a breeze, bliss.

Fuck you XRAY

[turbid pond]

hmm what am i missing

[bright peak]

That's the best part, can be anything. I remember restarting MO2 or simply PC could solve some issues because the files you are working on are not in the game files and MO2 can get bugged when trying to launch.

[turbid pond]

even with all enhanced shader patches disabled still fails to compile

[bright peak]

Best you can do is deleting the mods folder in GAMMA and do complete installation from installer.

[turbid pond]

but i didnt install anything lol

its just that i replaced the reshade files

thats it

[bright peak]

So game working without reshade?

[turbid pond]

but it works when i enable enhanced shaders

you try disabling enhanced shaders and the patches and you will see yours is gonna crash too

[bright peak]

That means there are still dependent addons or leftover things

I can't, I don't have Anomaly installed

[turbid pond]

then they are not named if so

[bright peak]

Did you restart MO2?

After disabling mods

Also if you do complete installation via installer, it's gonna put the default GAMMA files in the bin again so just fyi.

[turbid pond]

ARE YOU SERIOUS

Restarting MO2 fixed it

why

[bright peak]

MO2 is a buggy shit

[turbid pond]

wtf

[bright peak]

@dark brook sorry for the but I can confirm that sometimes MO2 just bugs out due to the working via medium folder and crashing the game, restarting MO2 might solves some issues even rendering wise. You might wanna add this to #│🔧troubleshooting

[turbid pond]

nope

i restarted the game and it crashed again

bruh

what else could be using enhanced shaders that is not named

[dark brook]

Medium folder ?

[turbid pond]

ok i see

cant disable enhanced shaders without disabling half the mods

boomsticks and sharpsticks, glowsticks, beefs nvgs

so its mandatory to be enabled

rip

[bright peak]

I forgot the word, because the mods are not in the not in the Anomaly but GAMMA folder, MO2 using that mods folder to patch the game etc etc.

Uhhhhh, the name

[dark brook]

Yeah GAMMA shouldn't be in Anomaly folder. That's in #old-how-to

[turbid pond]

done

reinstalled gamma

now lets see if i can disable enhanced shaders

nope i cant

[torpid mauve]

Glossy surfaces + patches
Glowsticks + patches
Beef NVGS + patches
GAMMA Glowstick Patches

[turbid pond]

so it was gamma glowstick patches huh

[dark brook]

You can

Makes sense

[turbid pond]

now it crashes with a new log

nice

combine_1.ps(97,4): error X3017: cannot implicitly convert from 'const float3' to 'float4'

hmm

[dark brook]

What did you disable ?

[turbid pond]

what he said

[dark brook]

Which DX do you use ?

[turbid pond]

11 avx

[dark brook]

Enhanced shaders barely eats Framerate

Reinstall it without PBR + install Beefs NVG patches just for ES no SSR

[turbid pond]

so theres no way to completely remove enhanced shaders?

[dark brook]

There's

But I dont have time to look it up

So I'm giving you the verified way to save frames

Which is in #old-framerate-optimisation btw

[turbid pond]

its not about saving frames

[dark brook]

[turbid pond]

its about the effect itself

[dark brook]

You mostly don't know what ES is doing

[turbid pond]

that mod, dynamic tonemap doesnt work with enhanced shaders

[dark brook]

They work together

[turbid pond]

#╟📸screenshots message

xd

alright then i probably did something wrong

[bright peak]

Yeah, what I'm talking about is launching the game form MO2 takes the files from the mods to the gamedata or wherever they need to be. Issue is, when you disable enable couple mods, change their load order etc, MO2 sometimes can't catch up and makes mistakes, restarting simply clears it's cache and process so it can do what it needs to. It's rare but happens.

[dark brook]

Ok

[dark brook]

Delete shader cache

[turbid pond]

i did

i always delete it before trying out any visual changes

[turbid pond]

Soo this is what i came up with

[wintry hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-gif-4120579

after all that time wasted?

[turbid pond]

i like it because no more blue

[torpid mauve]

if you saw 'blue' like lightning on dark places, while using enhanced shaders, just type cfg_load grading_warm

[turbid pond]

i mean i like it more than before

[wintry hamlet]

its not bad

[turbid pond]

also heeey stalker call of pripyat starting zone

i still rember

[dark brook]

Looking good

[turbid pond]

yeah the dynamic tonemapping helps alot

you should definitely include it

[dark brook]

Yes yes I will

I need to have access to my beast computer (next week) to test it

[turbid pond]

like dang

[primal glacier]

The layer of smog over the Zone has become too dense again ... When will this damned Sidorovich stop burning rubbish in the furnace?

[thin ocean]

That contrast level looks pretty nice

[bright peak]

Yeah, apparently dynamic tonemap addon doing wonders.

I mean even helped Dueleu

[wintry hamlet]

[soft frigate]

i dont know how he got that

we are in cordon btw

[bright peak]

He probably found it from a dead military and just showing off, I bet it's empty

I know, the rocket is in there but still

[soft frigate]

no bro

we just fought bandits

[bright peak]

He took it from a bandit?

Dam son

[primal glacier]

hate this scope, it looks nice on a weapon but dunno why a red dot have 3D sight while others not or have shader based scopes. FPS drops like crazy while using this.

[turbid pond]

the howa 20 is so good

160m shot. Its so bright because of the fog cause distance

[soft frigate]

Ik, only scope i got tho

[tame pollen]

Comrade Lenin my beloved

Disguised myself in a Merc, killed a bandit at their hideout, and poor Sultan followed me to X-18. Loyal guy I guess.

[quasi oak]

It's so pretty! 🙏

Some sunset light over Dead City

[bright peak]

Sheeesh my man Dueleu having some good visuals

[thin ocean]

You know Sakharov keeps that thing on him

[wintry hamlet]

he normally holds a nerd saiga 12

Eiffel 65 in here.

[wanton delta]

@torpid mauve that DOF is real nice. Whats it from?

[torpid mauve]

old photos, no idea haha

i think i was using a expedition reshade + the dof configs that it brings

[torpid mauve]

zamn

[turbid pond]

i didnt but hes gonna learn from my mistakes eventually

[sacred stag]

Well guys, the new model is misaligned.

Sad

[meager zenith]

gave my companion a broken ass PKM

now he's an absolute menace

[random shard]

just to confirm the NVG is not usable in DX8 right? is there a workaround about this, one of my dudes uses a potato PC to play and complains about this issue.

[dark brook]

Appdata folder of Anomaly

OK

I think I'm becoming more like these stalkers hanging around the campfire all day. Maybe I'm getting old, lol.

You gotta take a break every once in a while. That's why there's more guitar songs like mods. To increase comfyness

[turbid pond]

a psy storm is happening

[desert coyote]

When you tear apart the mercs in the Wild territory

[dark brook]

Hehehe

That spas12 hahaha

[lament jasper]

lukash, what's wrong with u

[dark brook]

Can happen rarely : quest is edited and stored. But the stalker in the objective already died in between quest generation and quest pick up by the player

This could be fixed by editing the quest generation for that quest by actually choosing a living target at quest pickup by actor

[dim willow]

Project Inverno ^

With my normal reshade. Gonna have to do some tweakin

[desert coyote]

Found this in the garbage on a merc.

I was wondering what the hell that unusually loud suppressed gunshot was

[wanton delta]

base cost 100k. jesus.

[dark brook]

Sex. The ammo is good but NATO exclusive

But some 7.62x54r ammo are better

[dark brook]

Looks good :0

Man I'm actually hyped by this

[desert coyote]

Finally new armor and a sphere M12

time to shove the old stuff into a stash for emergency armor.

[dim willow]

some of the weathers are a bit off. But I've found some really nice ones so far. The storm2 kills FPS tho, lost nearly 20

Some of the lighter snowy weathers are great

[dark brook]

Don't forget to upgrade that backpack

[desert coyote]

Yeaaaa I haven't found any new backpacks in the traders

or nvgs

[dark brook]

Yup you need to craft them

Disassemble junk stuff

Broken radios, everything

[dim willow]

Multitools and swiss knives best friend

[dark brook]

Disassemble every armor to get textiles

Every loot matter

[desert coyote]

Oh I know, still think it's weird traders don't stock survival gear, instead you gotta craft it.

Which means finding all the kits to do that.

Also susat scopes are kinda meh.

[dim willow]

this texture pack is a fuckin mood man

[dark brook]

Hey the freeze bar blends well

[dim willow]

lol yeah well I moved em there

It's nice tho. I need to maybe put the cold bar on the bottom tho

[dark brook]

Yes

You'll need to move the icons I guess

(rads etc)

[dim willow]

ahh shit i forgot about that

hmm

[dark brook]

Oh it's not that hard really

Let me find that file

Ah I know

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Minimalist HUD/gamedata/scripts/ui_sidhud_mcm.script

[dim willow]

--Status hud X/Y cord override
status_hud_x = 0
status_hud_y = 0
notify_icon_x = 128
notify_icon_y = 700

that, right?

[desert coyote]

Dude. What?

Are you makin a winter mod?

[dim willow]

#old-suggest

I posted one there. Just got updated today.

[desert coyote]

Nice.

[dark brook]

Yes

[bright peak]

the rain looks so good. Is it 3d particles or just a camera effect?

[dim willow]

I was messing with the values and had no visible changes.

[dim willow]

particles

[dark brook]

is SidHUD ticked in MCM options ?

[dim willow]

you know what

i'm a dingus

It works fine. Also cold system has options for text too

the temp bar was lame and huge

[torpid mauve]

[dark brook]

Super nova

[dim willow]

Yeah i was messing with weathers and the sun went super nova

you know how it be

[dark brook]

is that Star Sector ?

yeah that bar is freaking huge

[torpid mauve]

https://tenor.com/vBCC.gif

[dim willow]

now really makes them shadows pop

(yes i have a weird reshade, dont judge)

[bright peak]

@keen void liked that

[keen void]

Ahahah, I lowered the contrast a bit. I like punchy shadows but not that dark, ahahah.

[dim willow]

I also haven't done much changing to my levels since adding the snow texture pack

I like shadows dark. But not this dark.

[dark brook]

Resident Evil 8

[dim willow]

[bright peak]

[wintry hamlet]

sun rays look pretty good there

but something is really messing with the vegetation

foliage

[turbid pond]

Its the eye adaptation. Visuals and brightness change as you go in and out of buildings (aka the i've been too long underground effect)

[quartz cliff]

Very nice! Next playthrough I'm going with a winter setting.

[wintry hamlet]

looking at the sunset right after murdering some helpless zombified stalkers and a few fleshes

must be refreshing

[desert coyote]

Oh hey Zaton, out by the farm.

[wintry hamlet]

[meager zenith]

this guy was packing holy hsit

[turbid pond]

The groza is so bad

[meager zenith]

what's with military guys and packing like absurd amounts of guns with them

[bright peak]

They are just scared that they might run out of weapons

[turbid pond]

or they couldve looted the others

[queen hawk]

They need weapon parts just like us

[bright peak]

They might just misunderstand weapons parts for weapons

[dark brook]

This will be reworked with GAMMA weapon pack

New groza model and new stats

I will make it more rare and actually good since it can't be suppressed and is heavy, it should have decent stats. That would be a good candidate as a grenade launcher as well. That's an iconic gun and it needs some love

while the 9a91 stuff will be bad and an entry 9x39 gun

[turbid pond]

Yeah it needs a rail

[quasi oak]

I'm vibing hard right now, ambient music fits perfectly too

[bright peak]

[turbid pond]

@dark brook

Its like something UNISG would use

[wintry hamlet]

its a Russian gun

and it uses russian ammo

UNISG are a nato faction

[turbid pond]

Just add some fancy tacticool stuff and boom its just like rd-47

Just like how the rd-47 is based on the ak

[turbid pond]

Yet they use the As Val

[wintry hamlet]

they use as val tactical

they modified it

[olive ore]

Got this off UNSIG

[bright peak]

[wintry hamlet]

yes thats a nato gun

[olive ore]

Chambered in 7.62x39?

You sure?

Doesn't scream NATO to me

[queen hawk]

Waiting for sunrise realtime 🙂

[turbid pond]

But the groza i posted is also modified

[wintry hamlet]

read the description on the gun

[bright peak]

How does one get comfy when almost all around you are in the open

[bright peak]

Yee that happens when Emission

[sharp steeple]

if you get into a long firefight with extended periods of taking cover, they might loot their dead teammates at the same time. happened to me a few times. I'll bet my right ball that the other bodies around him didn't have much

Nice way of getting a PKM Zulu + a lot of rounds, trade 30 Military patches with Axel and you may get one. Not my kind of weapon but gave me a lot of bullets to recycle

If you are more than 4 years on internet you will know exactly where this link will lead you to lol

[clever badger]

idk

[wanton delta]

Jesus what Reshade or setup do you have

[tame pollen]

Shmexy

Finally got the best settings that made my game look good and my FPS loving me

[dark brook]

Looks noice

[tame pollen]

Yeah, apparently maxing out literally EVERYTHING fixes my performance issue lmao

Like god, Xray engine works in mysterious ways

[meager zenith]

wtf

[wintry hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-gif-23140940

[meager zenith]

also just me or does water reflections look funky

[tame pollen]

it does

[meager zenith]

got any idea how to fix

[bright peak]

Maybe because you were getting high but unstable frame timing but now you get lower but more consistent hence smooth.

Also giving more reason for you GPU to work sometimes fix things with some engines, getting some load off your CPU.

[tame pollen]

Oh yes that's definitely why

[bright peak]

High FPS is not always the good way

[tame pollen]

Just testing out the texture sharpen preset in reshade dont mind me

[dark brook]

Main issue: it makes trees crunchy

[tame pollen]

Oh yeah you're right, looks so crunch

[zenith nexus]

What’s your setup? I feel like I can’t find a balance for 60fps and high fidelity which is so weird

[tame pollen]

I'm running 16gb of ram, a ryzen 5 3600 and an rtx 2070 super for my main hardware

and I'm running anomaly out of HDD

[zenith nexus]

I feel like if anything my processor could be the issue but I’m not sure

[tame pollen]

you tried unchecking core 0?

[zenith nexus]

I’m running an i7 8700K RTX 2080 Ti so it makes no sense

I’ll try that

[tame pollen]

yep, most definitely

In any case, this is my most recent setting

The stablest I can go for FPS and looks too

I'd put my anti-aliasing to the highest as possible but I don't see much difference, same for anis filt

If you're running SSAO then HBAO gives you the best performance since you're using nvidia gpu

[zenith nexus]

I have grass dialed to w/e came with the mod

haven't messed with that I know it does eat fps

[bright peak]

Grass etc rendering distance is on your CPU mostly

Ofc taking it to minimum will almost max out your FPS most of the time except GPU bottleneck.

But this is Xray, everything can be bottleneck

[zenith nexus]

[bright peak]

You can max out anisotropic filtering to 16 tho, it would make a difference with a distance texture sharpness and no performance hit most of the time.

[tame pollen]

Ah alright

instant ctd

[bright peak]

Only game I saw anistoropic filtering destroying FPS were Assetto Corsa, it's a Unity game but the maps were mods so it's probably because of that.

[bright peak]

[tame pollen]

there we go

all gucchi

[bright peak]

Yeah, xray wohoo

[tame pollen]

Sunset by Lenin

[bright peak]

Are you a giant?

[dark brook]

Ah yeah I'm waiting on the nuke to be in game to nuke the player if he attacks bases

[outer grove]

[dark brook]

Because usually it's very cheap with the game AI

[outer grove]

Very exploitable.

[wintry hamlet]

sometimes you get a target who wont leave the base, seems best to snipe him from outside the base and make a run for it but idk how a mortar is going to affect that. never seen a point in murdering whole bases for no reason, disguise yourself if there is something you need inside the base

[dark brook]

The trigger should be killing many stalkers of the same faction in a short time

[wintry hamlet]

yea sure we believe that

absolutely

[outer grove]

Because running is never an option.

You are what faction?

[wintry hamlet]

dooty probably

doooty

[outer grove]

Mhm, just how you were "accidentally" attacked by the Mercs in their own base?

[wintry hamlet]

i told you, we absolutely believe him

[outer grove]

Well, some are genocidal maniacs. Just a matter of nature.

Yeah, that's right outside their base. At one of their checkpoints. Plus, Bandits are allied with Freedom.

[wintry hamlet]

make sure to not over do it with monolith bases, they are supposed to be raided for story missions

[outer grove]

You never played Anomaly or Clear Sky before?

Checks out.

Edgy.

[wintry hamlet]

go play cod/bf

[dark brook]

Of course I was thinking of exceptions for Monolith and maybe bandits....

[wintry hamlet]

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

Doesn't matter if you clear Monolith's base in Pripyat early, the task targets spawn after you receive the relevant task.

[dark brook]

But well, it's a complex thing to do and I have other priorities

[wintry hamlet]

i meant the radar/outskirts

go play tarkov then

[outer grove]

Those doesn't matter either.

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

No, it's not.

Escape from Pripyat is the Tarkov-wannabe modpack.

Meadows?

[tame pollen]

dead city

[wintry hamlet]

[outer grove]

I don't recognise one paved lot from another. Looked like the inner courtyard of the factory in Meadows.

[wintry hamlet]

ik it almost looks similar

but the differences are pretty obvious as well

[outer grove]

Oh yeah?

[wintry hamlet]

the building top left

the fence to the right

what now? am i bullying people again? @tame pollen please dont slap me

[royal pine]

The gamma encyclopedia /\

[outer grove]

the building top left the fence to the right
I don't know. Looks like many other buildings.
It could've been in Jupiter, near the factory there.
Could be out of bounds in Rostok.
Antenna Complex in Zaton.
GSC use very similar structures in many places.

[wintry hamlet]

idk what you mean i can easily recognize most anomaly locations

i am supposed to have a shitty memory here not the other way

i only played for just over a year as well...

i know some people here played for much longer

[outer grove]

I remember details, but some specific places just mush together in my brain as another concrete structure.
Those places being Dead City, Meadows, places within Jupiter, Pripyat, Outskirts, etc.

[wintry hamlet]

pripyat and outskirts do get mushed as the same exact thing sometimes

all the buildings are too similar

[outer grove]

Q.E.D.

[wintry hamlet]

thank you english teacher for the new term

[outer grove]

Latin, but sure.

[wintry hamlet]

i can read, but you are still the english teacher

maybe you should become the language teacher? or what would they be called if they teach multiple languages ?

[outer grove]

Linguist?

[wintry hamlet]

linguist it is then

[outer grove]

It's fine. I know multiple languages, but I'm already in the middle of writing a novel—I'll spare myself from having to educate people as a profession.

[wintry hamlet]

okay...

i am just giving you the title each time you correct someone on here cuz i never seen someone correct people online so many times

[outer grove]

You can do that if you want to, I don't mind.

[wintry hamlet]

This should be easy to guess

But holy shit its blyatiful

[bright peak]

It feels soo good for sun to be in my eyes

It burns so right

[tame pollen]

It's 7am sun so

Kinda make sense

[bright peak]

It's probably the least burning thing in the zone, immersive

[ocean ocean]

I see. They also train telekinesis in the army.

[dark brook]

Sr2m weapon position on NPC is really buggy. It's not hard to fix, just numerical values in sr2m ltx file, it's just time consuming

@ocean ocean

Still, it looks funny tho. :V

Nope, your actor does it too.

Nice Ak 5C ISG with Leopoid ya got there.

ah sorry mate, I was on my phone.

This screams out Dutyer's average life.

Just another day in Rostok, waiting for the day to come, and do your shit at Freedom, bandits and the blue wolfs again.

Nice! Perfect score!

Pay attention to Duty one.

god damn dude

Personally I got Ryzen 5 3600 with 5700 XT and the game runs like shit

[tame pollen]

Ooh

I wanted to get 5700 XT before my build

but its out of stock

Although beautiful moment like that isn't always the whole time

I just don't know enough how to mess with the shaders to get my game looking good all the time

But I'll take what I can get

[tame pollen]

This is also a good screenshot of the sunrise

[tame pollen]

And this is 9am sun

Gtx aint that bad

I don't have a setup before this and I've been playing anomaly on an office prebuilt from 2004

Yea

I have it in the middle p much

I learnt it the hard way when my enemy's back was facing the sun

some people seem to really like having a colorful zone

[clever badger]

i got a full rgb monitor

so it might be more for me

some people might have a different setting

[wintry hamlet]

apparently this is too dark for some(this is default gamma btw) #╟📸screenshots message

[clever badger]

looks a bit dim for me / grayish

but its good

not dark for me

i would make it even darker with contrast and it would be perfect for me

[wintry hamlet]

a bit too dim but any more sunlight than that and my eyes burn

maybe i can try changing contrast

i didnt think about doing that

[clever badger]

i always pump up vibrance and contrast a bit when playing

i like it a tiny bit more colourful than default

makes interiors look great

and light sources

[balmy mica]

how do you make this happen

[dark brook]

It's random

[ocean ocean]

Yeah. Like Grok said, it's random.
But it always happen at 5 AM in my game.

5 AM, the perfect time for daily push-ups.
