[wintry hamlet]

headshots on them still 1-3 tap with AP

[whole kraken]

yeah they do most of the time but I came across one in Pripyat who could not care less about my AP rounds at like 20m

had to use VSSK 😩

Granted I may have just been throwing my shots because it was 2 AM next to electro anomalies so I couldn't see for dick

[iron maple]

encountered my first SIN patrol, they were kinda stacked

[tepid basalt]

Shoot it’s ass

[outer grove]

Just give it one 20% rof upgrade and you'll notice a huge difference. As for the sights, irons suck for most weapons. At least the SPAS-12 has a very clear "peg" to show the centre. SKS irons for example is just completely flat and shows the centre point poorly.

[wintry hamlet]

the spas irons just seem a little obstructive compared to some other irons

[outer grove]

Skill issue

[granite kite]

savage

[outer grove]

Ugh, I caveman.

[digital terrace]

nice weather for some sneaky breeky

[vagrant mango]

can't stand the SPAS model so I'm stuck with dushman saiga for now

[rancid vale]

look at this scope lol

WHATRE THOSE

[storm hamlet]

Im no big fan of the Swamps, but it is a nice place for screenshots

[quasi oak]

nice work, personally i'd like to see the stalker logo next to gamma somewhere though.
I think it would be cool because of the dots, spaced out correctly though.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
G.A.M.M.A.

[jovial cedar]

I got scared it wasn't working correctly Thanks, but honestly I don't know how I could do that, the window is basically the one from G.A.M.M.A. and I haven't designed it, would probably have to ask Grok about that

[quasi oak]

Something like this, discords bigger logo. The colours on it look better also, not too bright. @dark brook will that discord logo be on the loading screens eventually?

[jovial cedar]

So you want the same dots for GAMMA but with its colors ?

[quasi oak]

Maybe it could look nice. But most important is the stalker logo, in white/grey or some older version of the logo. The white and green offset eachother nicely.

[jovial cedar]

I see what you mean

But honestly, I think people like it this way for now

[quasi oak]

Yeah, it's fine. But just my two cents. Maybe for the v1.0 release it would be cool to have it all look slightly newer.

[jovial cedar]

Only Grok would know about that, that's a possibility I'd say

[rugged notch]

Looter's worst fear the booby trap anomaly

i actually got damaged by the body freaking out :v

[bright peak]

Wait until old night vision scopes are added, those are real chonkers

[rancid vale]

haha give it to me

i want the right side of my screen to be nothing but glass

[bright peak]

I remember using them in our Arma 3 sessions, clipping through guns

[tepid basalt]

classic truck semetary

[outer grove]

Thats... a....
Chimera?

[ornate sonnet]

Yeah, that checks out

[tepid basalt]

wouldnt be truck sem without one growling nearby

[dark brook]

The logo is way too big :(

That's the issue, too much verticality to fit both stalker and gamma logo on loading screens

Honestly, I'm all for changing the loading screens ,but have no idea about how to make them look cool

[ornate sonnet]

Daaaayum

[ornate sonnet]

God tier drops from some... "contributers"

And yes, that is a Full Empty and Seraphim they both dropped

[wanton delta]

You keep posting but wont answer any questions. What gives?

[wanton delta]

Yo. You there?

[bright peak]

[clever badger]

What do you need i guess

[quasi oak]

Can I mess around with the files a bit? I did some graphical design in the past.

[hybrid summit]

Sure, go ahead

We can always say "no"

[dark brook]

Oh that could be great. Do you need the file name ? Checking GAMMA UI addon textures folder, you should find it pretty easily

[quasi oak]

I found it! Thanks!

[strong whale]

Gardener of the zone?

[jovial cedar]

GAMMA's actual settings yes

[cunning bison]

@jovial cedar bro listen

we gotta have a talk man

about how ur game looks so good

i want that

[bright peak]

Looks aren't everything

[timber rover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/917615309291135036.webp?size=64

what?

[jovial cedar]

@cunning bison @bright peak Well, technically I didn't add anything this time, it's all base G.A.M.M.A. so it's not only look either, never was

[cunning bison]

thats

base gamma?

[jovial cedar]

The actual update with Gardener of the Zone & stuff yes

[cunning bison]

damn bruh

[jovial cedar]

It's all about how you take a screenshot

Weather, time of the day, angle

[cunning bison]

yeah i guess

if u remember that random ss i took at dead city

i didnt necessarily wanna catch the guy in it too

but it was good

[jovial cedar]

Yup, it was beautiful definitely

[timber rover]

worst part about making mod pages is getting screens imo

[jovial cedar]

So it can look just as good on your part x)

[timber rover]

I fuckin have to do it for both of my new ENBs

[jovial cedar]

I'm all about screens, I'm the photographer xD

ENBs ? Is it Skyrim this time ? x)

[cunning bison]

ok well i guess its time to complete install once im on pc

[timber rover]

for both Skyrim and Fallout 4

yeah im making two new ENBs

it's called Rune ENB

not released yet cuz I can't be bothered lmao

[jovial cedar]

You should take that to #╟❓general-offtopic before someone comes to attack x)

[jovial cedar]

The advantage is that you won't have to do more than that x)

[bright peak]

You're right, looking good depends on time, day and weather.

And configuring takes a lot of time and effort.

[jovial cedar]

I'm mostly using debug mode weather and take time to find angle & all

[bright peak]

Yeah I do that irl with a camera too

[jovial cedar]

I make use of all weathers & times to get better shots

You do ? How is it like ?

[jovial cedar]

Only for these 2 screenshots above, all the rest was of my repack though

I'm currently working on shots taken with base Gamma this time

This one I had to time it right

So it could show the dead body under the rain while at the same time showcase the two flame anomalies

And this one was taken with w_cloudy2_dark weather, and to get that light, you only get it this way at 7.00 am, not one minute more or less

The rest was just the angle

[cunning bison]

and whats yours?

[jovial cedar]

#🖇old-mods-posting Just a bit above

[cunning bison]

isnt that just the autumn thing

i was interested in lighting

[jovial cedar]

It is, but if you look closely, there is also the weathers used

And the combinaison of both allowed me to do said screenshots before

There's more weather & lighting variety with Autumn Season Weathers

So more possibilities of screenshots

[cunning bison]

hmmm

ill go through it again

[jovial cedar]

Its on top of the post

[cunning bison]

alr i found it

[abstract marten]

indeed, well done 😍 📸

[bright peak]

Don't tell god but pretty useful.

[jovial cedar]

It's a joy to play with debug weather, shots, shots everywhere

[jovial cedar]

Thank youuu

[jovial cedar]

It's something I would love to have as a hobby honestly

[bright peak]

Photography is your gift for your mind, it's special and it's almost for anyone really. You just need to find what you appreciate.

[jovial cedar]

And that's something I always had a like for, even though I did not realize how it could be so much appreciated

[solar nebula]

Yantar

[cunning bison]

@jovial cedar do you have AA on?

[jovial cedar]

Yup

I only maxed settings

[cunning bison]

how can your pc run that

mine fades to ashes even when running 2x AA

[jovial cedar]

Well, I didn't turn everything at max

[cunning bison]

its the ONLY setting that absolutely DESTROYS my entire pc

not even grass density is as bad as AA is

[jovial cedar]

@cunning bison

[cunning bison]

yeah i pretty much also have everything up high like that

its just

the AA is unplayable

period

(for me)

[jovial cedar]

What card do you have ?

I mean, it's not possibly the card, but mostly an old engine

[cunning bison]

rx 580 with 8 vram, i5 7600k and 32 gigs of ddr4 ram

these are my specs

[jovial cedar]

And you seem to have a good rig anyway

[cunning bison]

yeah

idk it might be something from other settings such as amd ones

[jovial cedar]

Wanna hear a joke ?

[cunning bison]

because theres no reason my pc shouldnt be able to run stalker

[bright peak]

AA is hogging your GPU, grass density and distance mostly on your CPU, there you go.

[jovial cedar]

I have 16GB ram only

[cunning bison]

i either way stutter and lag without AA, just not dramatically like i would with AA

[bright peak]

It's not "your pc cannot handle stalker", it's xray

[jovial cedar]

Exactly

[bright peak]

It doesn't like AMD cards

[cunning bison]

yeah i really want nvidia

but ive been stuck with this amd one and still am

for like

4 years

or 5

idk

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, NVIDIA is better here

[cunning bison]

even if its a 1060

i WANT an nvidia

[bright peak]

Just because you have 8gigs of VRAM doesn't mean you can use all of them on textures via games, raw power is important.

[jovial cedar]

I used to have a 1060 I think

[jovial cedar]

Yup, that's the thing with, say, the 3060, 12GB vram but not as useful

[cunning bison]

like i legit still lag in stalker with gamma on top

[bright peak]

And 3060ti with 8

[cunning bison]

sometimes A LOT

[jovial cedar]

That's what I went for actually

[bright peak]

NV really fucked up the VRAM this gen

3070 and ti with 8

Then some same cards with higher vram

[jovial cedar]

The thing is, most cards have suffered price skyrocketting

[bright peak]

Ugh, don't even remind me lmao

[jovial cedar]

The only reason I didn't go for higher cards

[bright peak]

I'm just lucky that I picked up a Vega56 before all this shit for cheap price.

Honestly, at this point I just want either a 2070ti or a super. I'll be gucci with that power.

[jovial cedar]

Yup, but with that price tag, you have to already eat gucci

[bright peak]

They are coming down

[jovial cedar]

Will take a while, and people are starving for them anyway

[bright peak]

But first, I need a 5600 to upgrade from my 1600x kek.

[cunning bison]

i still love how i cant raise my min frequency in advanced gpu tuning

amd be like

[bright peak]

What

[jovial cedar]

AMD used to be good I think, then... they fell off compared to Nvidia

[cunning bison]

wassup?

[bright peak]

6000 series are actually good at raw power

But features and RT performance, no

6700XT is a great card

But then again, there's competition.

[jovial cedar]

I think these were even higher priced

[bright peak]

Most 500 series card already come with fab OC, don't expect too much. They are power hog.

I've never seen a lower price since like 2014

My country economics are in shambles

[jovial cedar]

Thank you scalpers & miners 💙

[bright peak]

Thank you mother nature for fighting against mining

[cunning bison]

i remember something tho

my games, or at least stalker ran way better after i did some

tuning to my gpu

[bright peak]

Depends

[cunning bison]

then the next day it all went to shit again 💀 cuz i forgot to fuckin save the preset

(save as -> load)

[bright peak]

That is strange tho because it should be using that still unless there's a hard crash or direct shutdown

Questionable PC using ha

[cunning bison]

yeah idk you gotta load it every time your pc boots up

stupid

[bright peak]

What are you using for OC

[cunning bison]

OC was something related to overclock/ing

right?

if thats right, then i dont use anything for overclocking

[bright peak]

Did you just telepathically told your GPU to run faster?

[cunning bison]

not really

but i never did overclock before

since im not experienced on that matter

[cunning bison]

actually maybe like 1 or 2 times before

dont remember tho

[abstract marten]

calm view and relax time before going to slap the military at the machine yard
(that electro anomaly was tricky to get ^^)

[bright peak]

What preset then? What did you do

[cunning bison]

its a custom one

i tuned it again on the fly

[bright peak]

HOW

[jovial cedar]

I hope they had relaxed as well x)

[cunning bison]

also

[bright peak]

Wattman thank you

[cunning bison]

idk if the overclock gpu automatic tuning from amd is good tho

[cunning bison]

wdym ho

w

[bright peak]

My god I've been asking what you used/using for oc

[cunning bison]

advanced control

[abstract marten]

I don't know, they're on the ground with holes in their body now, is that called being "relaxed" ?
😜

[bright peak]

AMD driver's tuner is Wattman

Just a note, software and hardware came a long way, there's a pretty low chance you can hurt you card.

[jovial cedar]

Well, they are, in a way x)

Relaxed from duty

[bright peak]

They are free now

[cunning bison]

i still dont know what to use for overclocking

[bright peak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgU8RUxo_HE

yeah sorry i was afk for a bit before watching this

i went through it and lemme test my game now

[abstract marten]

who controls the checkpoint and vodka imports now hum ?

[clever badger]

the Military after 24 hours

[cunning bison]

good DOF

what u using for that?

@jovial cedar ive discovered the ways of freecam

[jovial cedar]

So you too have become enlightened

[cunning bison]

now i just need good DoF

[jovial cedar]

It's all about tweaking now

[cunning bison]

wdym

[jovial cedar]

A good DoF through reshade right ?

[cunning bison]

no clue

refer to the pics above sent by gekon

[jovial cedar]

To be fair I never liked DoF x)

[cunning bison]

i just want a very light one

the one anomaly comes with imo...is

not...great

@jovial cedar sorry for another ping but i found some more reshade effects that fit the mood and vibe of the autumn and dead trees look

[outer grove]

[cunning bison]

what does the brown square mean

[jovial cedar]

I'm not so good at noticing some reshade changes actually unless I compare directly on my screen enabled & disabled back & forth x)

[modern nebula]

Spotted from across the map

Poor guy.

[compact panther]

i forgor what reshade this is

piknik maybe

[bright peak]

looks like it

[wanton delta]

What's your FPS with this?

[clever badger]

40-70

ah with reshade

30
but i dont mind since im doing screenshots anyway

[wanton delta]

Is this in-game screenshots or do you edit them?

[clever badger]

slight edit in photoshop

[sullen perch]

so gentle

[bright peak]

Pride in zone

[agile narwhal]

umm, doctor, are you ok?

when the reshade looked better ingame

why is this transparent

[cunning bison]

bro wtf

sorcery

thats legit transparent lol

[bright peak]

Not the duck

[timber rover]

convert it to jpg

[coral sable]

Having a body feels great!

[covert rivet]

well ten seconds into my military run I have been blessed

[jovial cedar]

@quasi oak You seem perplexed judging by the reaction

[agile narwhal]

there were like 13 guys just chilling here

@quasi oak @small lake Thank youuu 💙 Base Gamma is looking really great right now

[astral root]

Man I wonder why Bandits have a bounty on my head

[jovial cedar]

I appreciate your effort in purging the zone from this disease

[astral root]

my pleasure

[rancid vale]

bright, hazy day in truck cemetery

[clever badger]

GAMMA graphics just hit different

[peak fern]

is this normal? i run into patches that look like that every few minutes. rest of the game looks awesome.

[jovial cedar]

What do you mean patches like that ? Radioactive pockets ?

[bright peak]

Yup

[peak fern]

oh thats radiation? haha ok my geiger counter never displayed any.

[bright peak]

Hmm, your screen's film grain says heavy radiation

[bright peak]

And you might want to consult manual soon because radiation sickness is not gucci in gamma. Also manual is in your pda in-game

Strange

[peak fern]

yeah i played a lot of vanilla anomaly, never have seen something like that without dying horrible

[bright peak]

Try #🔨base-gamma-support you'll get a faster response

Or bugs if you think it is

[peak fern]

will do thank you!

[rancid vale]

this is gamma + custom reshae + a lot of dynamic tonemap tweaks 🙂

[lost moon]

geiger counter only displays rads you take in, not the surrounding area weirdly enough

[wanton delta]

Yep. Its shit because radiation makes your screen look like arse. I made an addon that fixes that it's on moddb. i think Grok was going to add it but never did. edit: wait are you getting that while not even being irradiated?

[quasi oak]

you can flip the switch on the geiger into reading surroundings though; or do you mean the visual display from the model? (not hud)

[small lake]

so like

is there an explanation for how tonemap works somewhere?

[vagrant mango]

What mask overlay is that

[vagrant mango]

Link?

[sage citrus]

Why does the new grass look so chuky and bad? Could't they have just kept the same grass texture and just made it brown?

good sunset

[gleaming siren]

Cordon gives off DayZ Namalsk vibes

[dark brook]

The problem is not to remove the effect, it's to change it

[dark brook]

So many ammo in these mags... Why are people playing with this honestly

[dark brook]

Good luck figuring out when you get irradiated

[wanton delta]

geiger go burr

[wintry hamlet]

geiger does not tell you for some of the new dynamic rad patches

[dark brook]

Yes the screen effect is the most reliable

[low sonnet]

Dude literally looted shit ton of other stalkers bet

[low sonnet]

what the fu-

Bro literally fought monolit

[dark brook]

fresh artefacts in the morning

[quasi oak]

always, after my morning coffee, but there's never anything valuable for me though, it's all irradiated too so i just flush

[astral root]

caffeine pills heck yea

[agile narwhal]

nice payout for early game

[dark brook]

someone's playing in tourist

kill strelok pda are pretty rare though

[bright peak]

Game says common

[jovial cedar]

Which one is better ? 1 or 2 ?

[jovial cedar]

Well, I guess it's not even a match x)

[cunning bison]

that reminds me

i also have a good photo of the church with a more summer look

but my gun and dumbass companion is in the way

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I'm actually trying to think of an overall "vibe" to give to each map

Swamps would be 50% sunny & bad weathers, a bit more bad weathers for the Cordon, somber weathers for Dark Valley, a bit more clear for Agroprom, all through loading screens

[cunning bison]

i think you remember the photo im mentioning but if u forgot ill send again

(and are curious)

[jovial cedar]

I think remember yes x)

[wanton delta]

jesus how did that happen

[clever badger]

Rare Strelok PDA @wanton delta

Gives like 20K

[wanton delta]

Awesome thanks.

[jovial cedar]

I found the deadbeat dad

[agile narwhal]

Nah, always hard survivalist

[outer grove]

You don't get that kind of currency from three PDAs on "HS".

[marble harbor]

what an impressively filthy scope

modifiers: suppressed, conjunctivitis, select fire

you see ivan, when only middle of scope clean, you shoot more of accurate because can only see target

[digital terrace]

Yes

[agile narwhal]

Well, I did xd

One was the "kill strelok" PDA, apparently worth 20k

[outer grove]

Which is only worth 10k-ish on Survivalist.

Other PDAs go for about 1-2k on Survivalist.

Unless you added some other add-ons which change that.

[agile narwhal]

I had 1 PDA worth 3.5 k on HS

Just one that add the rarity to PDA names, dunno if it affects anything else

[outer grove]

Could be enough to overwrite pricing.

#╟📸screenshots message

[agile narwhal]

Good to know, thanks

[outer grove]

What's the add-on's name?

[agile narwhal]

Grulag's rarity named PDAs or something

[outer grove]

Grulag...
I'll check.

[outer grove]

Hard to tell without debugging, but I think renaming the PDA changes its association with trader pricing. Causing them to revert to vanilla prices, which are jacked.

[hybrid summit]

@wanton delta your work is required here

[wanton delta]

hello

[outer grove]

"Ruh roh! Not me!"

[wanton delta]

Whats up

[hybrid summit]

Something about your PDA mod

"One was the "kill strelok" PDA, apparently worth 20k"

"Hard to tell without debugging, but I think renaming the PDA changes its association with trader pricing. Causing them to revert to vanilla prices, which are jacked."

[wanton delta]

oh its not supposed to be 20k?

I havent touched that one. Ill double check if the rename thing does anything to it..

[outer grove]

Certainly not on Survivalist.

[hybrid summit]

The problem maybe is "renaming the PDA changes its association with trader pricing"

[agile narwhal]

@wanton delta I got almost 30k for 3 pdas

[outer grove]

Cheat add-on.

[wanton delta]

Do you still have the save before you handed it in? Try disabling the addon for rarity named PDAs and cashing it in again. Thats the quickest way to find out for sure

[agile narwhal]

Yeah, I didn't know this will make my game easier

No, sorry, long dead Invictus attempt

[wanton delta]

ripperoni. ok hmm

[outer grove]

I haven't tried myself, but can't you spawn a PDA from Debug and hand it in with, and without, the add-on?

[wanton delta]

what ones

[wanton delta]

Yeah but in my game theyre all normal price- oh hmm i gimp my economy

[agile narwhal]

3x common according to your addon

[outer grove]

#╟📸screenshots message
I hardly count "Kill Strelok" as Common.

[agile narwhal]

There's a screenshot not too much up

[wanton delta]

it'd be the kill strelok one. Ive been using the addon for a while with no such issue, ive never had a kill strelok pda and i dont know how to spawn one in, but i'd bet that it's worth like 20somethingK alone

ill poke around and see what i can find

[outer grove]

You can compare the pricing with this screenshot:
#╟📸screenshots message

[wanton delta]

Yeah it would def be the strelok one. I just cant find where the price for it is, but it looks like it'd be pretty valuable.

very lucky. The script has a chance for a rare to be a 1 in 100 'strelok' and with the base rarity i think rare pda's are already quite rare. first time ive ever seen it. didnt know it was a thing lol

Apparently its a quest item o.O

[outer grove]

The Strelok PDA usually goes for 10k in Survivalist. Regular PDAs for 1-2k.
If you claim your Strelok is worth 20k, that means your regular PDAs are worth around 5k—that is if the screenshot geras took is from Hard Surv.

[agile narwhal]

It is HS.

[wanton delta]

dialogs.script

222 - warfare A Life overhaul
197 - New Storylines (DLTX minimodpack)

confirmed strelok PDA price is jacked to shit (And it's not my doing )

[outer grove]

There is no "dialogs.script" in 197.

[wanton delta]

correct you are. I was sorting by a dumb order in agent ransack 😦 (it picked up ah_dialogs.script too )

[torpid mauve]

[wanton delta]

i wonder what it is in base anomaly

lol. identical

= 15

[outer grove]

I guess it's a multiplier.

[wanton delta]

Yep. Instant payday

[outer grove]

Question is why the amount is seemingly random.

If it's a random base value it would make sense.

[wanton delta]

kinda cool though, i was wanting to edit the prices for rares to be more valuable. In my game rares are even more rare, i want to make them more valuable because of it.

[wanton delta]

Those 2 multipliers in the screenshot seem to determine the price output. Uncommon with junk info is not much better than a common with 'info'

What im curious about is if difficulty sliders factor in, ie; reward price/setting value

[outer grove]

I guess this is the randomness table:
local r = math.random(1,10) if (r == 1 or r == 2) and ui_pda_npc_tab.can_own_pda(npc) then r = (math.random(1,100)/100) local sec = "itm_pda_common" if (r <= 0.10) then sec = "itm_pda_rare" elseif (r <= 0.5) then sec = "itm_pda_uncommon" end relocate_item_section_to_actor(a, b, sec, 1) relocate_money_to_actor(a,b,math.random(500,3000))

[wanton delta]

jackpot

Oh hmm

i think thats just the surrender money the npcs give when you hostage them

[outer grove]

So it's pure luck with a multiplier which can net you between 500x15=7500 and 3000x15=45,000 for Strelok's PDA.

Hmm..

Ah, relocate item to actor..

It's the percentage chance of receiving a PDA.

[wanton delta]

it seems like it can actually be an incentive to hostage>dialogue an npc. Thats a lot higher chance to get pda than if you kill them

You actually get decent money too. You can actually get pretty rich if you set about trying to surrender npcs

Fuck man ive been doing it wrong all this time.

[outer grove]

This part must be it.

[wanton delta]

That in the same file?

[outer grove]

Yep. 15x350~900 would be between 5,250 and 13,500.

That still makes little sense.. How did geras get 30k from three PDAs?

[outer grove]

Actually, one very important piece of information remains unknown.
Do you have Infopreneur as an achievement?

[wanton delta]

because the other 2 contained stash co-ords, they were top-tier reward

presumably encrypted

[outer grove]

Not encrypted.
(1,5x900)x2 still doesn't cover the other 15,000-ish roubles.

I may be affected by confirmation bias, but I'm certain I wouldn't get that much money from delivering only those three PDAs when cross referencing to this:
#╟📸screenshots message

Even if Strelok's PDA is a 15x multiplier.

[wanton delta]

If you go to sid, F7 and spawn in a bunch of PDA's you'll see the outcomes

[outer grove]

My installation is outdated af by now.
Plus, it's your add-on.

[wanton delta]

Ah i thought that's what it was about. An addon that changes text isn't going to cause that.

I think you want it to be my addon.

Sorry to disappoint 🤷‍♂️

[outer grove]

Well, we don't know that for certain. GAMMA Economy might have something targeting PDAs in some way. 🤷

[wanton delta]

One way to find out. Dig into the code

[outer grove]

I'm not doing that. If @dark brook thinks this may cause balance problems, he'll probably know intuitively.

The only other way this would make sense is if geras has the Infopreneur achievement, which gives them another-nother multiplier.

[coral sable]

Someone knows where this document in X16 is? the one from Agropom Underground is also missing

It's the one you find by the Controller.

Never thought i'd see the day it got to this.. Those 10 vodkas for a BTK from Spirit in Yantar actually came in handy. With so few stashes, i had to get creative.. I just could not source an ATK and have to actually craft one.

New helmet, new armor, new gun. Today was a good day.

lmao somehow my only enemies are now mono and bandits

[frank escarp]

the game was not going very well. I think I should lower the population of npcs.

[brazen shard]

this cost almost entire medical supplies to get this on stashes. really what a god idea to only get item from stashes if tracked never get bored 🙂

[quasi oak]

do these masks move around a bit whilst moving? or is it a static overlay?

[hybrid summit]

I think they're static, just textures

[hybrid summit]

What mask is this? Looks "futuristic", I'd say it's some exosomething

[wanton delta]

the science uhh.. SSP or something. the ecologist egghead one

[quasi oak]

usually i'm not a big fan of mask overlays, but maybe if it gives the illusion of an ultrawide aspect ratio, it's pretty cool to have a different look to the game

or 4:3 for them 90's kids

[crimson verge]

I like the misery esque mask overlays that are somewhere between gamma and navs

this means this rookie was a survivor, whose story made them sneak a lot.
Miraculously they survived and they're stacked. Alone, isolated, possibly wounded, and stacked.

this was taken yesterday but after 14 ingame days i finally got to jupiter

[compact panther]

i should probably get rid of my companions

Thats not the main issue still. The main issue is the fact that your end game is too easy since monolith dont shoot you and you can freely walk into generators to farm artefacts…

Boring..

Isnt it also based on HD models. Kinda out of place with current configuration. I agree with the update on a hip model and maybe more women variety but welp.

[clever badger]

Expedition reshade and graphics overhaul

[wanton delta]

What, with GAMMA?

[clever badger]

YES

took me a long time to get it to work

but i did it

[hybrid summit]

Reshade it's possible

Because, well

It's Reshade

[wanton delta]

Care to share your insight on the steps?

[hybrid summit]

The other aspects of Expedition, no

[hybrid summit]

I second the request

Just to know what he did, I'm curious

[torpid mauve]

cranked up that ssdo and gloss values sky high

time to destroy the pc

[clever badger]

Oh my god

It doesn’t even look like stalker anymore

[hybrid summit]

Damn those reflections on the gun

[torpid mauve]

https://tenor.com/I6GO.gif

[clever badger]

I shall share my secret steps with you in the morning. It is a bit late for me. It was relatively easy process other than dealing with shader conflicts and some crashes

[wanton delta]

Awesome, thanks man looking forward to it 🙏

[dark brook]

aka bloom and dark ground simulator

[abstract marten]

Hey, If you don't mind sharing those steps with another reshade-experiment-enjoyer, that would be really kind ! 🙂
And those shots are 👌

[clever badger]

@wanton delta @abstract marten https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151 so i downloaded this mod, there are 2 versions. one is a modpack and the other is strictly graphical/shaders. i downloaded the graphics shaders version. i then opened up the gamma rc3 folder and put the folders inside the mod folder. i will also share my in-game settings and then my shader settings

[cunning bison]

theres no way expedition works with gamma

does it?

[clever badger]

not the modpack but the shader pack

[wintry hamlet]

only the reshade part can work with gamma

anything else conflicts

[cunning bison]

yeah not the modpack, but the graphical version

@wintry hamlet does it accept ONLY the reshade or the better graphics too?

[wintry hamlet]

they dont work with base gamma, grok has already said this

you didnt disable anything?

[cunning bison]

R.A.W is also a good one but it halves your fps

looks amazing but i cannot play my game in 20 fps

[crimson verge]

do you mean reshade shaders or ingame shaders?

[ornate sonnet]

Z-za Monolit?

[clever badger]

Just wanted to update what I said earlier. Experiences may vary with the expedition reshade and graphics overhaul. It works half of the time when it wants to. If you have any issues disable any expedition files you’ve downloaded, go into game settings and change a setting or two in visual then reenable and see if it works

change to your liking, i need to change

[crimson verge]

what options did you tick when installing the water ssr?

[clever badger]

alright hold on

[crimson verge]

meant which one of these

[clever badger]

oh my bad

i would get just glossy surface

[crimson verge]

alright

[clever badger]

yeah like i said before, if you get shader error when you start up game, disable expedition mods, tweak graphics settings and re-enable expedition

also delete shader cache too

[crimson verge]

I'll try it

looking at the ssr modpage you the patch for enhanced shaders and beefs nvg because gamma has both of them included

[clever badger]

yeah i would do that then

[crimson verge]

I get the compilation error no matter what

you worked some black magic to get this running lol

[clever badger]

oh yeah i really did

it literally took me an hour to figure it out

[clever badger]

delete shader cache in anomaly folder, disable expedition, change visual settings, re-enable

[crimson verge]

deleting shader cache in the launcher doesnt work?

I'll give that a try

[clever badger]

try both, make sure you disable ssr too

[crimson verge]

Holy shit it worked

[opal birch]

Do let me know how my reshade looks!

[clever badger]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-the-rock-rock-go-rock-lets-go-lg-gif-18455293

[storm hamlet]

looks good, especially the first pic

[crimson verge]

aight it crashed when I changed graphic settings and the reshade looked nothing like your screen

I guess I'll just leave it at that for now

[clever badger]

I have preset I was using, you are probably using the gamma reshade preset

I understand the pain bro gotta change those graphics settings again

[crimson verge]

Expedition just calls its reshade "reshade.ini" or something

[clever badger]

I can send you my preset if you want

[crimson verge]

I'll try to configure it myself for now

[clever badger]

Gotcha, yeah you just gotta pray to the monolith and change settings while disabling and re-enabling. It is pain

[crimson verge]

Funnyly enough it was an Expedition +GAMMA Video I saw in December that brought Gamma to my attention

[clever badger]

I think I saw that also lmao. I love both but it is terrible that they really don’t work together

They do but you gotta mess with it so much

[crimson verge]

disabling Expedition SSAO fixed my graphical problems lol

lets see how long I can play with this

[clever badger]

Oh my god

I can barely see anything on your screen

[storm hamlet]

Bro has a tough time in the zone as it seems

[crimson verge]

I could see just fine

but when I messed with the weather clear weather burned my eyes out

send me your preset pls lol

[clever badger]

Lmao

I got you

Let me dm you it

[crimson verge]

sure

[wanton delta]

Can you please dm me it too? Cheers.

Also dont forget you have to tweak the r2_ settings and other settings that the expedition page says. Or don't..

[crimson verge]

oh yeah I forgot about that

[clever badger]

yes let me see some screenshots when you get them

[crimson verge]

my reshade was super bright because I turned the vignette off

expeditions mega bloom can be tamed by disabling the reshade ssao and leaving the vignette on

its still kinda annoying in the UI tho

HD models Freedom Exoskeleton I think

[clever badger]

I like how HD models is generally bad but then they add this

[timber rover]

it's not bad

[clever badger]

alot of people here think it is, mostly because it just does not fit with the game, although i'm not up to date with it's update, unless they made them look less shiny and brand new

[timber rover]

I would rather deal with some small flaws then the goofy ahh clown shoes and stuff that vanilla has

HD models hides the terrible anims a little bit too since majority of models are more bulkier

but it's true i've come to appreciate dooty more after i realized how much freedom sucked

[sharp steeple]

yeah

only factions i would fuck with if i wasn't so adamant on neutrality would be ecologists and clear sky

[jovial cedar]

I'm actually doing a run with Sin, more like a playtest, but I think the faction is underrated

[sharp steeple]

oh right i never fiddled with sin

i need to try them

[jovial cedar]

I'm almost done with the questlines run

Ok

Thank you for your opinion

[clever badger]

i will do gamma reshade vs reshade i have

[crimson verge]

I disabled the bloom in expedition and it looks just how I want my game to look

which is a wierd move because the bloom is the most dominant thing about that reshade

[clever badger]

Hahah yeah I know, it’s a bit weird that the bloom is not so good. I just wanted to share my screenshot for suggestions on what to tweak and it gets called shit

Going to be doing comparison screenshots in a few areas. @crimson verge have any idea where I should take them?

[crimson verge]

Rookie village is good

Try different weathers with debug thats how I test my settings
