[brisk zinc]

You basically use the thing only when you replace parts that you don't have

Like you don't have a barrel, the kit "replace" that part, -1 use

[patent quartz]

Great thx for clarifiying! I really thought I read all about it. Might have misunderstood some stuff back then.

[brisk zinc]

It's 5AM where I live but the upgrade thing should be correct

[real copper]

So when it comes to repairing weapons, where are the best vendors for weapons parts? I'm struggling to find any in the major towns of the south. I was hoping to scavenge some good gear but even the mercs I take outr have completely broken gear. I think my only option is finding a broken weapon and spend all my rubles into fixing it back up

[patent quartz]

take only parts 60%+ it is more cheap to repair parts then to purchase them for sure. You can use file or ramrod if you have like one or two part to clean or a cleaning kit if you have more. I think you can purchase a cleaning kit around 5000 while a clean part goes by that price depending on the item. I think giving tools to tech also widen their parts inventory.

well I don't know if I am the best you to give advice I just spend Half an century not knowing how the repair kits worked .

[real copper]

Does the ramrod only work for barrels? I have 2.

I don't blame you. The repair and crafting system is...well; a lot. gamma helps but it's still a.lot.

Also how the hell do I locate quest givers? I have 2 boar legs for Duty I accepted like a RL week ago from a random in Rostok. Is there a setting to enable tracking them like vanilla Anomaly?

[stoic moth]

Does the usas 12 drop?

[patent quartz]

Yeah it only work with barrels... Also never experienced that, (not being able to find quest givers) I had a quest to give a watch earlier and it did show him on the map... I know it might be dumb but is the secondary task button ON in your pda ?

[real copper]

@patent quartz Of course thats a dumb idea why would my secondary tasks be off and I somehow didn't notice. What kinda idio--

Oh....I remember turning it for something else and I never turned it on. I never turned it back on and was too stupid to notice. Lol

To be fair to myself, I figured it out and then opened Discord to say nevermind so no one knows I'm a idiot. Too late.

But thank you, GhostMarine, all the same.

I kept rushing to find him because he already died once. Had to his post before mutants got him a second time

[plucky tiger]

ok weird shit, returned to cordon for the first time in a while, and there are two non-hostile bandits at the farm, even though I've done nothing to make them like me, and the mechanic/technician at the farm is just.. gone?

[plucky tiger]

slept for a few days to test. it seems like every 2 days or so 5-10 bandits attack the farm? and then two non-hostile ones who I can talk to (just generic responses) stand by the campfire...

is there some way I can get the mechanic back? I still need permission to use his workbench so I guess that means he's alive but he's nowhere I can see

[midnight shore]

Mcm / drop condition / outfit / increasing dosent seem to work

[woeful girder]

hey guys whats the mod that makes it like seamless travelling where it doesnt ask you if you want to go to ____ or not

its annoying sometimes and i wanna not use it

[dense dawn]

believe its mod 206 under optional simply called 'areas transition without confirmation'

[woeful girder]

Thank you

[dense dawn]

just an educated guess tho not actually tried it

[woeful girder]

found it

thank you

[dense dawn]

np 🙂

[mental dirge]

Not only. Both file and ramrods do barrels. And each of them works for another part as well. And then multitool for triggers and another one. If you place the parts together and have your inventory on the side then mouse over you will see which works with what. Or just right click details of part. But they have colours for that reason.

[empty coral]

is there any specific location where I can find this?

[empty blaze]

So I hear a sound when I press M and it doesn’t show anything bound to M, but this never happened before GAMMA, just wanted to know if anybody knew what it was

[north turret]

scope night vision, IIRC
it doesn't check if you actually have a scope with night vision on it before playing the sound

[empty blaze]

Ah

Thank you very much

[north turret]

I don't remember which anomaly, but I've found a few in Garbage
might've been close to gravitational anomalies?

Agropom, too

[empty blaze]

While I was typing an anomaly appeared and killed me…

[empty coral]

Thanks, I will try looking around garbage for them

[north turret]

good hunting, Stalker!

[north turret]

ouch
that's why you ought pause the game before alt-tabbing

[empty blaze]

The worst part is… I usually do

But the one time

The one time I don’t XD

[full coral]

went to cordon for the first time and there's like 10 each of zombies, cats and dogs

[paper arrow]

might be a dumb question but is there a 3rd person view so i can see what my character looks like?

[serene rose]

hey guys, really enjoying the mod but have a question- where is the closest place I can sell an artifact att the village in the swamp? thanks

[versed tusk]

Artefacts need to be over 20% condition and out of their container to sell them.

[serene rose]

and i can sell to anyone orr? i'm quite new to stalker stuff sorry

[versed tusk]

we all start at 0, dont even worry. I don't think everyone buys them, no. I know Sidrobitch in Cordon does, Butcher in Garbage and the professor in Yantar will give the best price. I never tried Spore in the swamps but I think he does

[serene rose]

spore?

is that the SW village?

[versed tusk]

Spore is the guy in the big garage, not the technician in his chicken coop

[full coral]

also traders won't buy poor durability artefacts, you have to use the melter to repair them or fuse them into new ones

[serene rose]

has 3 bars on mine leftt

ah

too damaged 😦

[versed tusk]

as mentioned earlier +20% should be OK - otherwise store them until you have the melter

[serene rose]

was worth 45k and that's right out the village haha

[full coral]

they still have decent value even as crafting material for others, usually the ones you make are better

[serene rose]

so i should go tto the melter? where is that?

[full coral]

you can buy artefact melters from the same traders you can sell artefacts to, they're about 12k/kit but you can use them to craft new artefacts or repair existing ones

they're basically tools/repair kits in the same way they work for armor and weapons, but for artefacts

[versed tusk]

not just Yantar? I might remember this wrong

[full coral]

i feel like one other place sells them but ya sakharov is the best bet

[versed tusk]

Suckarov 100% does ya

but Yantar is a bit... far for the beginning

[full coral]

gamma has a lot of saving stuff up and coming back when you have the proper tools, but it's very satisfying

only getting broken artefacts with your first bear is a little annoying on the other hand tho

[grizzled raven]

the only trader aside from sakharov that sells artefact melters is dr hermann im pretty sure and hes in jupiter

[north turret]

@willow hawk hey grok is there a way to enable mask overlay for repsirators? i have good texture but the rasp overlay seems to be disabled.

[brisk zinc]

I think it's because you also need to change the progression thing, because it's set to "progressive" and not to "give me everything", should be "full"

[brisk zinc]

NVG scopes #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[brisk zinc]

Check in keybinds, there's something for it

[carmine wyvern]

is the Vepr "Hammer" Shotgun still in the game ?

[willow hawk]

disable gamma no mask texture

[willow hawk]

nope

[north turret]

i did grok, but raspirator still dosen't have an overlay

[willow hawk]

reinstall Grok's Mask

and tick the correct options

[north turret]

wdym by tick right options?

is your gasmask mod mod manager friendly?

[carmine wyvern]

cheers

[coarse pine]

Hey im a total newbie and i tried looking for an answer and failed so here i am. Where do i find the artifact extraction tongs in gamma? Toolkits?

[gusty kiln]

The what? There is no such thing in GAMMA, other than the Artifact Melter you can buy from the Ecologists

[coarse pine]

ohh okay, then how does one get an artifact out of an LLMC

[gusty kiln]

Oh, just right-click it and open/unload. I forget the correct term

[coarse pine]

i feel like an idiot, somehow overlooked it and assumed its complicated like in some other mods, thank you brotha

[carmine wyvern]

The Tongs are a Misery only thing

And since it had no other use than to clutter the inventory and provide a small vanity text it was ditched for Anomaly and replaced by the Action for the containers

[timid grove]

Does Duty start selling 5.45 at higher goodwill? im currently at 497 goodwill and they dont sell 5.45 yet

[graceful iron]

they start selling it at supply level 3 (1000 goodwill)

they sell AP at 1500

[timid grove]

Thanks, no need to repair my AEK yet then. Got to grind missions with my SKS first

[graceful iron]

if you have a gunsmithing kit, you can craft your own ammo

[timid grove]

Dont have a lot of small rifle casings, and disassembling 7.62 for 545 is kinda expensive

[warm remnant]

Can i rely on these little boxes around campfires to store my things, or is self made stashes the only way to safely store stuff?

[brisk zinc]

Yes
No

[warm remnant]

thank👍

[paper arrow]

does anyone sell army toolkits past a certain supply level?

[gusty kiln]

Army toolkits?

[paper arrow]

yes

its that or wait to find an advanced toolset and i dont think my rootin tootin shotgun can get me much further

[scenic spade]

After installing gamma can u stil play anomaly without messing up gama ?

[gusty kiln]

Oh, you mean a Rifle Repair Kit?

[paper arrow]

army rifle repair kit or whatever its called

[twin spear]

Is there a way to increase headshot damage?

modifying someting on grok ballistic or something like that?

[gusty kiln]

Then I'm confused, because there's no Army Toolkit in GAMMA, at least in the English translation.

[paper arrow]

this one

[gusty kiln]

Unless you mean the Basic Toolkit

[paper arrow]

RED BOX

[gusty kiln]

Right, missed that message, my bad

Technicians will only sell those after you give them an Advanced Toolkit

So basically you're stuck with pistols/SMGs/Shotguns until you find/craft an Advanced Toolkit

[paper arrow]

right

brb gonna buy up all the vodka in the Chernobyl exclusion zone

[gusty kiln]

Spirit is a bro, isn't he?

[paper arrow]

its ok it only takes 35 bottles
which i can only buy 6 at a time
and have to wait 24 hours inbetween ;-;

my spas-12 is going to be doing a lot of heavy lifting

[gusty kiln]

If you have a Merc disguise, you can also buy another 3 from Dead City

[paper arrow]

well i am neutral to them

im in clear sky

[gusty kiln]

Oh, then yeah, Rostok, Freedom, Dead City, should give you 9 bottles per resupply

[paper arrow]

its nice being able to go through wildlands without being bushwacked by blackwater

[paper arrow]

9 bottles EACH or 9 bottles total?

[gusty kiln]

9 bottles total, I think they sell 3 each

[empty coral]

which faction sells the cheapest WP ammo?

[north turret]

How do i remove the 5.2.1 shader

it's killing my fps

[graceful iron]

in-game press the home button and then disable all shader options #old-framerate-optimisation

[gusty kiln]

They all sell at the same price, assuming you go to the faction traders

[compact glen]

Hey so my game just locks up in a specific area up north in Zaton, I can't even alt tab it goes to a black screen when I do. The log just spams this out:

Any ideas? It doesn't give me a Fatal Error, just that...

[empty coral]

Thanks, I thought some would have different price like yantar have cheaper medical supplies and garbage has cheaper shotgun and pistol ammos

[gusty kiln]

Oh, I THINK Sidorovich has slightly worse prices, but he's he exception to the rule

He has discount_trasher compared to the other traders, which all have discount_supplier

Seems like Loris, the trader in the Farm in Cordon, also has discount_trasher, so buy your WP from Duty

[plucky tiger]

Is there any way for me to restore/spawn the mechanic in Cordon as he seems to have gone missing after I updated GAMMA?

[mental dirge]

where can i find a friendly reminder of who is who? (WP/NATO)?

i never met a mechanic in Cordon

[gusty kiln]

It’s in #│📚manual

#│📚manual message

[undone horizon]

Im stuck on a mission in Cordon to get a package of documents from the military checkpoint south of rookie village. Killed all the military guards but cannot find the documents anywhere. anybody familiar with the quest?

[plucky tiger]

the mechanic at the farm

[gusty kiln]

It's in one of the guard towers, I think on the ground floor. Look around while holding F

[undone horizon]

thank you, i forget about the holding F option

[serene rose]

is there a way to heal other than medkit?

[gusty kiln]

Plenty.

1. Different drugs
2. Paying a Doctor NPC to heal you

[serene rose]

thanks

[gusty kiln]

You can also sleep to heal damage to your limbs

[plucky tiger]

can bandits "capture" the farm in Cordon? is that a thing? they regularly attack the place but I just spent a while in the great swamp doing quests, came back to Cordon and Xenotech is gone, Loris is still there, and while hostile bandits still show up regularly there are 2 non-hostile bandits who keep spawning at the campfire there

[graceful iron]

no

[plucky tiger]

aight something is screwy then lol

[graceful iron]

factions can capture locations in warfare only

[plucky tiger]

yeah that's what i thought

it's weird, I can talk to these two bandits who spawn at the fire. they don't even retaliate if I shoot them. but hostile bandits still show up to attack the place.

and xenotech is just gone

[graceful iron]

the important npcs disappearing has been a known issue for a while and it was supposed to be fixed when "halved populations at hubs" was removed

but looks like its not

[plucky tiger]

yeah apparently not. I loaded an old save from a few days ago and he is still there in the old save so something must've happened at some point. Is there some way I can respawn xenotech with the debug menu?

[graceful iron]

there is a way but you need both his ID and logic

[plucky tiger]

could I get that by loading the old save where he's still there?

[graceful iron]

i think i am not sure

[plucky tiger]

ok opening the logic section while looking @ Xenotech in the old save I get this

[undone horizon]

"Steal a case from a Roadblock" in Cordon is bugged for me i think, no documents anywhere in the whole checkpoint. Looked online and saw where theyre supposed to be

[graceful iron]

the part of last dawn where you need to do missions for info on scar?

[undone horizon]

yes

[graceful iron]

they should be in the main guard tower on the second floor on a shelf

[scenic spade]

How do you allow for unlimited fast travel again ? I went to mod settings and tried changing those but nothing changes in game

[graceful iron]

in mo2 disable limited fast travel addon

both of those addons

[graceful iron]

there is a pinned message as an example for how it works #🔨base-gamma-support message

[undone horizon]

@graceful iron found em, video i watched mustve been outdated, they were high up on the shelf, video had them on the grond

[scenic spade]

Thnx okay cat

[plucky tiger]

hmm

[tidal patrol]

I remember seeing someone post a guide on how the medical system works where can that be found?

[graceful iron]

!heal

[raw raft]

A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

this ?

[tidal patrol]

I think thats it!

thanks

i must have skipped over in faq

[graceful iron]

did you spawn him first ?

or is that his spawn id?

[plucky tiger]

I'm not sure how to find the spawn ID or if that's it, but that's what comes up when I target him in my old save where he's still around

[plucky tiger]

maybe?

that's when looking at xenotech in my old save where he exists

[graceful iron]

look at him and get info ?

the id should be there i think

[plucky tiger]

ah ok

btw do you know what the default ZCP settings are for mutants stalkers? want to make sure I have them at the default

[graceful iron]

last time i checked mutants were at 0.75 and stalkers at 0.6 (could be 0.55)

[plucky tiger]

ok let me try the guide you linked above using this info, we'll see

[scenic spade]

I changed the files and when i load a save it crashes do i need to start over ?

[plucky tiger]

hmm not sure which thing under getinfo is the spawnid? 19925 doesn't work, esc_smart_terrain_5_7_loner_mechanic_stalker doesn't work, loner_mechanic_stalker doesn't work

[scenic spade]

Nope new games crash too

[graceful iron]

changed what files ?

[scenic spade]

I dont mean files sorry i unchecked campfires to be able to normally quicksafe

In the mod organizer

[plucky tiger]

seems like this one should be working but it ain't

[graceful iron]

now its crashing ? post the log

[scenic spade]

Sorry i have no clue on how that works

[graceful iron]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside: Anomaly/appdata/logs, send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[graceful iron]

drag and drop the text document here

[scenic spade]

Is my log the popup when it crashes ?

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea either, did you try copy/pasting it to make sure its correct?

[graceful iron]

the popup usually shows an error, but its better if you post the entire log

[scenic spade]

Okay

[fresh jewel]

after the new dawn quest where you turn in the PDA is there anything else I need to do for the mission to find a special person to pop up?

[oblique depot]

Mutant behavior seems nutty; watching a bunch of cats that I haven't interacted with run a hundred yards, around a gate, into a building and up a set of stairs to get to me is the kind of gamey behavior that kinda pulls me out of it; that's not how animals do.

Anyone know a fix?

[fresh jewel]

my last game it took maybe a day to get the notification to pop but now I have passed like 7 days and want to finish the next step and cant

specifically for the last dawn quest line after finding the scouts PDA

[graceful iron]

its just stalker npc pathfinding and detection, there could be some addon on moddb that changes it (somehow) but highly unlikely

[oblique depot]

That's the thing, I've never seen it this bad before.

[graceful iron]

did you do the other missions like clearing the renegades and army? not sure if they are connected but the message about the pda should definitely arrive in a day or 2

[fresh jewel]

Yes I have done them all

I am only waiting on the PDA notification

[fresh jewel]

cleared the military and renegades from the swamp

[gusty kiln]

If there is a valid path to you, they’ll follow it. Seen a pseudogiant climb the stairs up to the top of the construction site in Wild Territory just to slap 2 mercs

[graceful iron]

you only disabled fast travel limiter and rebalancer? did you disabled any other addons ?

or add any?

[scenic spade]

yes for campfire save

no didnt add any

[gusty kiln]

YACS might cause issues if disabled on saved games, since I think it adds quite a few new campfires

[graceful iron]

it used to be safe to disable as far as i know

unless it got an update recently with those changes

[graceful iron]

enable the addon and disable its features in the mcm

[scenic spade]

but perhaps i forgot to disable all that are needed

whats the mcm ?

[graceful iron]

mod config menu

[scenic spade]

okay

thats in game yes

?*

[graceful iron]

yes

[oblique depot]

I expressed it badly; it's the aggression that gets me, not the pathfinding. It's rare for animals to be that aggressive in nature, especially against prey that are bigger than them. Seeing them go after dangerous prey with little to no regard for their own safety makes them feel like game mechanics rather than creatures.

I should note, I'm not talking about the wacky-ass mutants here; I've no basis for how pseudogiants act in nature, so I'm not criticizing them.

[gusty kiln]

Oh yeah, cats are absolute a-holes. They’ll sneak around and swipe you. I think most mutants will beeline to you if you agro them, even if there are other enemies in the area shooting at them

[spiral pasture]

any way to field strip the barrel of a gun?

[graceful iron]

no

[spiral pasture]

😔

8+ hours and still no advanced toolkit anywhere

sad

[gusty kiln]

Buy red vodka, trade vodka for basic toolkit with spirit (cook in yantar), build advanced toolkit

[scenic spade]

Only these 2 right ?

I unchecked all boxes and but the bars to min values

[graceful iron]

no. look for yacs

at the bottom of the list

[scenic spade]

Yeah found it

[graceful iron]

does it crash with the addon enabled ?

[scenic spade]

Campfire saving is disabled

Like it was before

But that didnt change anything

And no it doesnt crash

[graceful iron]

can you save outside of bases and away from campfires ?

limited fast travel is disabled?

[scenic spade]

Yes it should be i didnt test it

Ah yes i can save at random now

Thnx for the effort!

Is it safe to play around with the ones labled as important ,

?

[graceful iron]

what labeled as important ? addons ?

[scenic spade]

Priority sorry

Like the healing system

High priority

It also has balistics

And shaders

Ammo

And gboobs

Oh yes the addons in mod organizer sorry for being uncleat

[warm remnant]

So i found one of them radio packages, but it's quite heavy, just wanna know if the package weights as much as the stuff inside, or are those 2 not connected?

[graceful iron]

please, do not mess with any of those addons unless you know what you are doing

[scenic spade]

Okay so i cant uncheck healing system and get to vanilla anomaly healing ?

[graceful iron]

if you really want to disable something you can ask. you can disable groks body health system and then disable gamma minimalist HUD

GBO cant be disabled

[scenic spade]

Whats gbo ?

[graceful iron]

groks ballistics overhaul

[scenic spade]

Ah yes no issue

Do i need to disable anything else too if its just the healt ?

[graceful iron]

the 2 addons i mentioned, thats it

[graceful iron]

the weight is probably only connected to the type of box the package is but its also tied to the type of loot but not the amount of loot

[plucky tiger]

Okay! It took a lot of work but I was able to respawn Xenotech after he disappeared. Turns out it's such a pain because for some reason he is blacklisted from being spawnable via the debug menu. Here are the steps to do it if Xenotech disappears for you; mods feel free to pin this if you think it will help people in the future.

[graceful iron]

wait, he was blacklisted ?

[plucky tiger]

yes

I found this reddit post from 4 years ago this was how I figured it out lol

it's why if you try to spawn esc_smart_terrain_5_7_loner_mechanic_stalker in the debug menu nothin happens, unless you edit the blacklist.ltx thing and then repack.

no idea why he's blacklisted from spawning in the debug menu, don't see how that helps anything

but maybe it prevents some issue, I wouldn't know

[graceful iron]

@willow hawk just to bring this to your attention, important npcs (specifically xenotech (tech in cordon), pergerine (tech in yantar) and spirit (cook in yantar)) are apparently still disappearing for people, and spawning them seems to be a mess by itself from the posts above

i have noticed the characters in army warehouses (lukash, solid and leishy) will sometimes move from their spots to drink in the building to the north east but they seem to always come back now at least, they used to disappear sometimes

[queen sedge]

is there any way to make the sky less bright

since the ground is really dark it hurts my eyes and makes it really hard to see thing in the distance

[queen sedge]

heres what i mean

[willow hawk]

Ok. Xenotech is set as trader currently so it should be fine

[scenic spade]

So im in the cordon and i dont have any artifacts on me but i keep getting iradiated i used water, radiation drugs and im not in a radiation pocket i dont get it

Nvm

I had so weird bread

[plucky tiger]

I think he's still a loner on my end because he disappeared and I had to respawn him, is this something I can correct? I updated yesterday

[oblique depot]

That happened to me as well; kept getting irradiated even when the bread was in a container. Is that what happened to you?

[scenic spade]

Nope i just didnt look very well and i thought it was normal bread

[sick latch]

So I'm doing the undercover quest in the UNISG storyline, and it keeps telling me I alerted them. What am I doing wrong?

[vocal mango]

if i were to want to repair my armor/get new weapons from traders as a mercenary how would i do that, this is my first time playing with an altered trader system

[gusty kiln]

Get them from the dead bodies of your enemies/allies, repair them, wear/wield them. That's about it

!apart

Has anybody done Mortal Sin story? And do you have Psoglav roaming around The Rookie Village?

[velvet mantle]

can i somehow make high tier mutants not spawn in cordon? I unchecked random muntants from ZCP but controllers and other higher tier mutants sill spawn.

Can it only be achived by disabling ZCP?

[plucky tiger]

Weird I haven't seen any mutants scarier than a boar in cordon and I left everything zcp at whatever the defaults are

[gleaming robin]

How to use side mounted optics with vanilla keybinds ?

[graceful iron]

they are very rare to spawn that far south, its not a common encounter

[gleaming robin]

Thanks cat u are cool

[charred oak]

Basic cooking kit, is this found in stashes? I cant seem to craft it

[graceful iron]

the field cooking kit? its very common from stalker loot, stashes and breakable boxes and you can craft or buy it

[charred oak]

Oh! that thing? Was wondering how to cook food by campfires. Ill give it a shot

[graceful iron]

thats the "basic" cooking kit, and the other one is the liquid fuel variant

[north turret]

Oh also i have another question. Are there more missions like those for artefact samples?

[graceful iron]

missions like artefact hunters ? no. but there are new storylines for clear sky and the military (last dawn) (monolith retribution)

[north turret]

Ok.

[willow hawk]

Update again

[charred oak]

Thanks for the help! Got it working. Another question. Are animations supposed to play or just the sounds?

Like for cooking, disassembling or looting bodies with knife, etc. I do have the animations for weapons, healing, etc

[north turret]

You can check in Confing in the menu for FDDA. There are some options as well.

[charred oak]

Found it! Thanks!

game did not like that LOL insta crash

[graceful iron]

its not recommended to enable any extra animations over what is already enabled

they are known to cause issues

[north turret]

I have them enabled all and i have no issues. (Sometimes the game crashes instantly for no reason, no error in log too, but i think it's from something else.)

Normally it would crash with error for artefact that i use a "destroyed" item or because of "Incorrect parameters" or something. While i was doing Mortal Sin it was alright. Somehow stable.

[amber shale]

it takes ages to load into game like 5 mins at least game installed on ssd it used to be 3 sec loading screens before

Hi guys, downloaded gamma recently and started playing. Everything works fine, but every stalker of every faction has his name starting with an A. I play on russian localisation and some names are in English, also starting with an A.

[plucky tiger]

it's supposed to be like this by default right? zcp at the top unchecked but gamma zcp checked?

[sick latch]

Does anyone know what the issue might be? I've tried dismissing my companions, keeping my weapon holstered at all times, and walking instead of running. Nothing changed the quest text that says they were alerted.

[warm remnant]

Hold up, so this blue shit is supposed to make me see better...? Can i turn it off somehow, or do i have to go get it uninstalled?

[brisk zinc]

Binoculars?

No you can't

[warm remnant]

Dang

Yeah its supposed to be some "high-contrast" thingy, but it just looks worse to me

[brisk zinc]

It's already a miracle that you were able to upgrade, many people can't

[gleaming robin]

How to activate teleport companions mod ?

[versed tusk]

search for teleport in MO2

then tick the box

[gleaming robin]

Found it, set keybind but still can´t teleport them

It´s called Quick companion teleport ?

[brisk zinc]

IIRC yes

The key is J

[charred oak]

Is professor Kovalev's laptop bugged? Not finding it on the 2nd floor of the facility

Found on 3rd floor, maybe a translation error? Or bad quest info

[versed tusk]

it is on 2nd for me

[mental dirge]

Old VG nades dont need to be crafted for use? is this why the bench does not recognize them even tho i have in inv?

as for optic improvements , they are only for the binoculars? do NVGs get any upgrade with kits?

[gusty kiln]

NVGs get no upgrades, just the ones you craft Mk1 > Mk2> Mk3, similar to PDAs

[gusty kiln]

Yes, this is intended. The other ZCP was the 1.5 version that was added but it caused crashes/issues, so Grok reversed to the 1.4 one for the time being

[gusty kiln]

It really shouldn't take that long to load into a game, unless you were exaggerating. My SSD loads games in about 10-20 seconds? I've honestly never timed it, but it's thereabouts

Starting a new game, however, will take a little longer

[mental dirge]

i think a fellow stalker was right and after all it should be anomaly in the ssd instead of gamma.

[gusty kiln]

I personally have them both on SSDs, mostly because I don't have any HDD

[mental dirge]

for the loading times at least. and then you get crash when it needs the gamma files

[amber shale]

yeah i know there is a problem that is a question

[mental dirge]

<200gb ssds should be banned.

Big trap.

[gusty kiln]

Do you happen to have a particularly massive stash? Those can affect load times, but still, 5 mins is crazy. Couldn't find anything on #│🔧troubleshooting or #╭📖faq

[amber shale]

no its a fresh save since i disabled my apu my pc going nuts

[gleaming robin]

Do i have to do anything after checking the box on the mod except launching the game again ?

[amber shale]

on the other hand when i have apu enabled it crippels pc to half power

[brisk zinc]

Have companions with you

And press J when they're near you

[gleaming robin]

Damn they are stuck in zaton and im in the red forest

[amber scarab]

I think they mean have them hired? Unless they have to be in the same map at all

[plucky tiger]

Seems I have the prompt to press F to "speak" to all stalkers, and can talk to even hostile ones. like I can speak to a bandit and ask him for a quest while he murders me

[amber scarab]

How do disguises work? Can I walk right up to Sid as a merc with a loner disguise and go "hey can I pay you to have the loners stop shooting at me on sight?"

Or is there someone else I can talk to for faction relations besides Sid?

[north turret]

Ecologist suits work the best for disguise. Most important factor is the state of the suit. So better have it fixed up fully before going to hostile bases. Also an important factor is an active item in your hands. Having a weapon in your hands raises the suspicion level.

[north turret]

As a merc you can talk to Aslan for hostile factions to stop shooting on sight. But if you get too close to them they'll smoke you.

[amber scarab]

Alright

[gusty kiln]

Disguises are kinda funky. If they work, you're considered a member of that faction

However, proximity to certain people, especially faction NPCs (traders, etc) can very easily out you

[storm rampart]

Hey brand new to this awesome mob pack how do you clear jams in a gun??? plz hap

[north turret]

The default key is R.

The other method for long term is to replace parts and clean the gun.

[storm rampart]

life saver thanks I was using a double barrel shotgun and it seemed like I was just reloading, and yeah looks like crafting is kinda #1 now do you ever find guns in good condition

ps why is buckshot now useless

[versed tusk]

Buckshot is not useless - you are using the wrong ammo for the enemy type I assume. buckshot for mutants and unarmored heads, otherwise use AP ammo, Slugs etc

Also a broken barrel means no damage

[graceful iron]

!ammo

[raw raft]

Your gun is in perfect condition but you can't kill anything: #╭📖faq message

[north turret]

You can find guns with parts in good condition. If you don't have any tools yet keep the guns with barrels that can be cleaned with the common maintenance kits. They have a green highlight. You just replace parts once you collect them and fix them up with files and clean the barrel before you get toolkits for crafting.

[amber scarab]

So there's no way to become neutral/friendly with factions that start out hating you? Only to stop them from blasting you the instant they see you in the open?

[north turret]

There is. Accepting tasks from that faction in disguise and completing them to raise goodwill up to 2000 or more. But be aware other factions won't take it well and you'll loose goodwill with them.

For example I as a loner be doing tasks for mercenaries I will loose goodwill with loners, duty and vice versa

[amber scarab]

Ah, so, faction v faction relations affect things, but once you get a (hostile) faction's goodwill up to 2000, they won't care about your faction's standing with them?

[north turret]

From what I've experienced having 2000+ goodwill with a hostile faction it stops attacking you. Like when I was a loner and had 2000+ goodwill with freedom and became a member of duty. Freedom was not hostile with me

If the goodwill falls they'll start attacking you. Below 2000 from what I know

[amber scarab]

Ah

[worn moat]

Hi, I am playing on 3840x2160, I get ~40fps in Cordon with Reshade enabled and ~60fps with reshade disabled. I know that I can use integer scaling to essentially play at a crispier 1080p image but is there some way I can use DSR to get the game to upscale from with minimal performance impact? I'd want the performance of 1080p but the clarity closer to 4k, is it doable?

[north turret]

Since you're on 4K you might want to try and disable MSAA and maybe SMAA but I don't know if that'll affect visuals a lot. It does affect it a lot on 1080p. MSAA is like the biggest hit in FPS regarding visuals and it doesn't work correctly from what I know. Other way would be downscaling and sharpening but that's not too good visually.

[worn moat]

I'll probably stick to integer upscaled 1080p because I get 144 fps that way

The only problem is the goddamn jaggedy raggedy trees

[north turret]

Yeah... I manage to eliminate them with DLDSR upscaling to 2K and downscaling to 1080p but then I don't get solid 60fps on my loser 60Hz monitor and 45-55 is not an option.
You'll get used to the trees. I don't even notice them anymore. Of course if anti-aliasing worked fine that would be great but unfortunately, old engine.

[compact glen]

So I bit the bullet and just did a complete fresh install, now I keep getting random missing sounds and missing textures in my logs that cause crashes sometimes.

Can somebody assist me with updating my GAMMA? thanks

[vital lion]

Is it normal that certain guns such as the 5-7, Glock 17 gen 4, DE (Black) don't have unjamming animations, or is something messed up with my game?

[gusty kiln]

#╭📖faq message

[molten siren]

thank you, I'm burnt

[gusty kiln]

1. Open GAMMA Installer in Administrator Mode
2. Click Update GAMMA data
3. Only install GAMMA add-ons

If it's a small update

Otherwise, replace Step 3 by clicking on Full GAMMA installation and letting it complete

[molten siren]

Thanks 😄

[signal wolf]

This is probably common knowledge to most but I'm playing with story mode off and can't figure out how to get the psy helmet thing to go north. What am I missing?

[left zephyr]

Hi there, just got everything installed but the game crashes when I start a new save. What do?

[graceful iron]

post the log

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside: Anomaly/appdata/logs, send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[rapid fractal]

is there a reason why at night my game will just randomly lighten up lokking in 1 direction but not the rest?

[left zephyr]

Hopefully that's the right one.

I think I know what went wrong and it involves me not using 7zip. So I'mma try and do a fresh extract and install using that. Will update with results.

[unkempt bronze]

Im kinda new to GAMMA, i got stalled in a point where i never have money and since i chose to start with only a pistol and some meds, i did almost all missions in Cordo / Swamps and Garbage with the same pistol.

Apparently i need a repairing kit for a new rifle, but i never got my hands on one. Do i get them later on? Or in zaton?

[sour dove]

stashes get me the lion's share of that stuff. when you have basic tools you can make a buttload of other kits you'll need

i got a question of my own tho, how to enable debug menu? f7 does nothing rn, cant seem to find anything in MO2 about it and opening up the Anomaly launcher (in the other folder) and checking the debug menu thinger still gives me nothing when f7 pressed in GAMMA

[tribal iris]

you need to activate it in launcher first

[vital lion]

Is it normal that some handguns do not have unjam animations?

[graceful iron]

it should be a text document called log

[granite hare]

is there a way to keep my keybinds and settings after doing an update? like a certain file i can copy and paste back in when im done?

[graceful iron]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[granite hare]

thanks 🙂

[graceful iron]

a lot of guns dont have unjam animations, but the unjam should still work

[vital lion]

ok thank you

[sour dove]

which launcher tho i said i cant find it in MO2 and I literally ticked it on in the launcher in the proper anomaly folder. MO2 is the launcher for GAMMA and I cannot find it there, nor can I find a "gamma launcher" specific to just gamma. all of the MO2 options I see are more for general modding than anything STALKER specific

[left zephyr]

Fresh install and it's still crashing.

I don't understand what I've been doing wrong. I followed the install to the letter.

[graceful iron]

how many addons are active? any red X's on the modlist? you used a fresh anomaly 1.5.1 install for gamma ?

[left zephyr]

Just the ones that came with the modpack. 325. I'm using Anomaly 1.5.2

[graceful iron]

gamma uses anomaly 1.5.1

[left zephyr]

Ah, so I did fuck up somewhere.

[graceful iron]

yes

[left zephyr]

Lemmie correct that and see if it works.

[graceful iron]

you will need to re-extract anomaly (delete the old one) and then reinstall gamma through the installer

[left zephyr]

Doing that now.

[mystic finch]

is Gamma soundscape overhaul meant to be in the disabled list after the update?

[rapid fractal]

is there a reason for the lighting chnaging like this randomly

taken 3 seconds apart and i walked forward maybe 1 yard. top is what it normally looks like but gets brighter randomly and then goes back

[graceful iron]

could be an error with the update or an oversight, its supposed to have the new changes to the ambient sounds

[gusty kiln]

That addon is under the 257 category, which has some disabled/unused mods, so might be intentional

[mystic finch]

Do you know where it's meant to go? I have the mod it's just in the disabled list the installer does this to me sometimes it will update give me the new mods but not put them in the right place

[gusty kiln]

It's sitting at Priority 404

[graceful iron]

i checked the #📢development changes to dead city ambient and they seem to have been made into that addon, thats why i dont think its supposed to be there

[gusty kiln]

Ah, gotcha

[mystic finch]

ok cool and the companions rework is meant to be in disabled as well right?

[graceful iron]

i have no idea. i updated and its disabled for me as well

yes, the companions rework is meant to be disabled

[mystic finch]

ok good cheers for the answers

[tawdry token]

Hey I am new to Gamma. about four hours in and am experiencing a lot of crashing. I have two companions by my side and every time it has crashed it seems to be when there is combat. Any thoughts? thanks.

is there anyway to get that mask overlay back where if you wear a gasmask it would affect how you would see like this and this i know theres a way in vanilla anomaly ive just completely forgotten how to

[left zephyr]

Re-installed a vanilla version of Anomaly and re-installed Gamma, now the game can't even load from the launcher.

Ok no idea what I did but it's working now.

[trail thorn]

I just entered The Great Swamps and the water is stuttering like crazy

Any known fixes for this?

[left zephyr]

Or so I thought. Everything's dark and when I look at the ground my screen goes white.

But the game world loaded. I think.

[paper arrow]

i thought you could use porno mags to pass the time?

i cant seem to be able to use them

[split wigeon]

guys, anyone know here how to set to the default used mods? Cause I kept ticking random mods and forgot to back it up, now my game is unstable:((

[brisk zinc]

It's a thing that Grok still need to add

[brisk zinc]

1. first of all, click on Priority, on the right
   Everything need to be in order

2. open the installer and click only update GAMMA addons, that should bring everything to default

[split wigeon]

Ok, thanks.

[tacit yew]

Brothers, is there any way to be done with micro stuttering completely? I've fucked with switch_distance high and low values, same with the objects_per_update in alife, but to no avail. I've also disabled shaders, deleted the shader cache, unchecked core 0, tried DX 8. None of this seems to get rid of the 1 or 2 frame skip that happens consistently every 3 seconds. It feels adjacent to rubberbanding in an online game. Also, I get around 80-100 fps after fucking with graphical settings.

[vapid peak]

@tacit yew try disabling full screen optimization?

[tacit yew]

disable fullscreen optimizations is already checked in the properties of dx11avx so I must've done that as well already

I dont know if this affects performance but I have it installed on an nvme ssd with 100 gbs free out of 2 tb

[north turret]

Is there any spreadsheet or info about all exoskeletons in Gamma, want to see which one would be most fitting for my gameplay style?

[vapid peak]

SSD would only help with stutters not make it worse. Maybe install process lasso. It'll automatically configure all your processes to run lesser when you play gamma. It's free or you can torrent the pro version if you're able

[tacit yew]

Will look into this, thank you

[woeful ledge]

Hi all!
Is there a way to return jantar mech through command line?
Started playing as merch, and when came to eggheads for first time, he was already gone(

[mystic finch]

has anyone else had an emmision not trigger for them?

[plucky tiger]

I just fought a weirdly huge wave of respawning bandits at the Farm in cordon, it was a group of 10 or so at first, but then for several minutes whenever I killed the last one, another would spawn. sometimes spawning right in front of me. it finally just ended. is this what a hit squad is?

[mystic finch]

I think I need to turn in the barrier quest then pretty sure it completed

[woeful ledge]

Help pls

[plucky tiger]

use debug mode to find out his spawn id and logic, you should then be able to respawn him using the object spawner in debug mode

you can use the pinned message from me as a jumping off point, but try starting from step 4. if he's not blacklisted you shouldn't have to do any file unpacking.

obviously the specific stuff you type in for id/logic/etc is different because it's a different NPC; you need to get that into from the jantar mech by selecting him with f7 in debug mode and clicking "get info." which means you will need to actually look at him. so maybe to get the id/etc you can start a new game and just warp straight there to get the details. then just load your existing game to actually do the spawning

[mystic finch]

@woeful ledge it was the barrier quest it needed to be handed in emmisions work from debug now but the emmision that was meant to trigger hasn't so I have no idea if they are working now

[woeful ledge]

Just do all steps that are on photo, you can fix it

[woeful ledge]

Hit batallion

[woeful ledge]

Thanks!

[mystic finch]

I guess it's fixed then since doing those steps is the same as completing the quest which I did handed it in to Lukash

[woeful ledge]

Hope u will get emissions now

[plucky tiger]

still don't get why i can talk to this guy while he shoots me to death

[woeful ledge]

I think it now happens after some update

I met one funny thing

Me as merc exited freedom base on army warehouse, and i met first squad near fireplace

3 freedoms and 1 loner (didnt notice him)

Strated dialogs with everyone to find a job

No one gave me one but

I came to loner guy from behind, speaked with him, took a job

After that he turned around to me and started shooting me

So i killed him and lost my job(

But that was hilarious

[sleek delta]

I'm about to repair a new weapon for myself but which is better, Remington 870, Mp-133, or Carabineer?

[gleaming robin]

I have updated the modlist and I cannot craft Hideout Furniture, the game crashes and the textures in crafting are a blue brick ?

[frigid depot]

What do i have to do, if i want to have a big choice of weapons when i start a new game?

[woeful ledge]

Carabineer semi auto

Mo-133 if i m not mistaken is just same as carabineer but worse.
Remington is good but pump action

Indefinitely would pick up a carabineer if inwere you

[sleek delta]

then what about a saiga?

[woeful ledge]

Are you playing with mags redux?

[sleek delta]

no

[woeful ledge]

Than use it

[sleek delta]

wait, what does mags redux change about a saiga

[vapid peak]

Ammo capacity

[sleek delta]

ah, I see

[woeful ledge]

Not ammo capacity especially

It changes how much mags you can equip on you

[vapid peak]

Well there it has 8 rounds and 12 rounds

How much is no mags?

[woeful ledge]

@vapid peak i mean that with mags redux, saiga mags count as medium one, and they take place from rifles mags

Thats why i dont play with magged shotguns with mags redux

If i have 5 slots for medium mags

I would rather use 2 assault rifles mags and 3 sniper rifles mags

[vapid peak]

I don't find it bad. Use you can have two shotgun mags and 4 rifle mags

[woeful ledge]

Instead of shotgun mags

[vapid peak]

On a 4 slot vest

[woeful ledge]

There are good shotguns without mags

[vapid peak]

There is

[woeful ledge]

Which you can reload from ammo directly

[vapid peak]

Carabineer is my favorite

[woeful ledge]

Like carabineer or ks-23

[storm rampart]

Hey dose anyone know why the mouse wheel sensitivity drops to like 2 when trying to scroll through inventory's (trader's included)

[willow hawk]

It will be fixed with 1.5.2 support

[mental dirge]

got red cross at 2d scopes shaders. disable?

[frigid depot]

how do i get more weapons an items, when i start a new game?

[woeful ledge]

Take jobs

While completing them kill ppl, loot them

Find stuff repair

Use faq and manual

They are helpful

[frigid depot]

no i mean in the start up screen, not ingame.

[woeful ledge]

You can't

The game gives you the choices and points

And u pick up

If you want to cheat

Or make your own

Use debug (f7) and spawn things you want

[frigid depot]

okay, thank you for the advice, i´ll try it.

hm, f7 doesnt work for me. Nothing happen

[woeful ledge]

Do you use debug mode?

[frigid depot]

do i have to activate it?

[woeful ledge]

Yup

In misc settings you must pick debug mode

Before starting gamma

[frigid depot]

ah okay, thx

[copper viper]

Have anyone here used special power of PSU on exo armor before ? if so how can i active it

[storm rampart]

You can also change the progression diff on a new game and later through out you're play through but by default it gives you the most points and options with the tourist option tho you could change it to survivalist if you wanna suffer

[woeful ledge]

What do you mean suffer

I always play on hard and survivalist

And have no problems

Am I the only one who understands that the stalker must be played on hardest difficulty only?

That's already different from what you asked here since you just said a very generic "I have no markers, why?"

Is this happening for every quest?

ok im level 2 supply and sidorovich still doesn't sell me gas masks is this normal

[earnest galleon]

i just checked my other saves and they have them

so idk

is there any way to get the original stamina system from vanilla anomaly?

its pretty tedious to run 20 meter and then having to stop again

[storm rampart]

Hey so with the healing system do I have to use a first aid item and then a post heal item to heal my limbs or can I just use the post heal? (for example can I heal up full with yadulin pills without the med kit)

[willow hawk]

Take stamina boosting drugs, empty your bag...

[willow hawk]

First aid > post heal

[storm rampart]

okay thanks Grok

[frigid depot]

okay next question sry, but im totally new to the game. When i want to reload my weapon, he dont put a new mag into the wapon. I have to manually put a new mag into it. How do i fix this?

[willow hawk]

add mags to your loadout

[frigid depot]

i have mags in my inventory and they are filled with bullets

okay i got that all thanks for info

[simple apex]

That place is a psy field, basically drains your psy real fast, you might want to get some psyblock for protection then enter, figuring out HOW to navigate the room... I'll leave it to you

[pulsar jay]

You have 3 condition bars, HEALTH, STAMINA and PSYCHE, if psyche goes down to zero, your character will shoot himself, draining psyche can be caused by psy emission / psy ghosts or psychic mutants like psy sucker or controller, here is my recent demonstration 😄
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/wbkyyc/controllers_in_gamma_just_hit_different_pick/

so you either need better psy protection, psy helmet or boost your psyche via drugs temporarily

cherry on top, if a controller gets too close, he can make you shoot yourself even if your psyche is not down

[pulsar jay]

maybe try #╓☢stalker-chat

[willow hawk]

Yeah it's 30

before the path to pripyat theres an another path

go there

documents should be in that bunker next to the skeleton

i wasted so much ammo doing x-19 again

[median lagoon]

ohh so is not x-19, I though the same but not having any other leads I went back there. When I went inside I found any type of mutants dead and lootable, all the way through and a couple of darkness and poltergheist. Wonder if the darkness might have killed all these mutants, including a pseudogiant.

[mild trout]

i had 4 chimeras in there when i went back

it didn't go well

[median lagoon]

is this bunker the one that has a bed in it, metal door and keypad?

OK I think I undestood which one

[small willow]

hi. the NPC trader and mechanic have disappeare from northern cordon. its been several ingame days - how do i respawn them? anyone have the squad ID>

[mild trout]

@median lagoon it's not the one with the bed

follow the road past the road to pripyat

and use the other path

[pulsar jay]

damn, I installed the game on 26th, 27th is apparently an update that I should get via full install but I only did an update, might this be the reason for my recent crashes?

[north turret]

It shouldn't take too long to do the full install since you have majority of the addons stored on your PC. I update very frequently once there's a new update out. So, I might give it a try to solve issues.

[lime sinew]

Is there any mod to randomize the trader's inventory a bit more? I get that consistency is good but its kinda uninteresting that everytime I go to a cook he will always have 3x Nemiroff, 3x Putinka, no more, no less

[sleek sun]

i only use 50-60% of GPU, 30% CPU.
Whats wrong with my game

[lime sinew]

Are you checking overall CPU utilization or per logical processor?

Stalker only uses one core so your cpu utilization is never going to hit 100%

[sleek sun]

i have 7 cores so maybe it is the case

but whats about gpu, dx11 eat gpu

[lime sinew]

do this in your task manager graph

check if one of the cores is maxing out

[sleek sun]

but mine never surpass 70% GPU ult

[lime sinew]

if it is, then your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu (which is usual for stalker in modern pcs afaik)

[sleek sun]

im playing 4K so bottleneck isnt a problem

[lime sinew]

what is your gpu?

[sleek sun]

rtx3090ti

[lime sinew]

bro

of course you arent hitting 100% lol

That thing is a monster

[sleek sun]

but not my fps 🙂

tremendous horrible fps

[lime sinew]

yeah cuz stalker is an old ass cpu bound game with no multithreading unfortunately

check to see if one of your cores is maxing out, and if so turn down stuff that uses cpu (shadows, draw distance, grass, stuff like that)

[sleek sun]

maybe i7-12700 would help?

cus im using i7-6700

[lime sinew]

probably, but dont expect a huge gain cuz it will still be single core bound

but im playing on an i7-10700 and its fine

as in mostly above 120

[sleek sun]

what is your population setting? mine is 1.5

[lime sinew]

vanilla

yeah, about that

more AI=more cpu

[small willow]

Does anyone have the Story ID for loris and the mechanic from northern farm cordon?

[willow hawk]

It's in grok_nes.script

[small willow]

is that in the GAMMA directory or the original Anomaly?

[willow hawk]

Search in MO2 right panel

Search bar at the bottom right

[small willow]

i found that but cant find the actual ID

[willow hawk]

Go in front of him and F7 > Get Info

[signal wolf]

how do i progress to the northern areas with story mode off?

[graceful iron]

you can kill sakharov to get the helmet from him or debug

gamma is made for story mode

[tawdry token]

Sorry, also new to discord.. why did you just write !crash?

[willow hawk]

Bot commands

Read what the bot wrote below the message

[tawdry token]

Thank you!

[sturdy plaza]

ever since I updated today the AK12 mono acog looks like this instead of a green chevron

I did notice the mod responsible for the acog looks to be the one that changes it has this error

I checked that the powershell script ran and it is set

also I just noticed this is probably the wrong channel fuck

so uh sorry about that

[pulsar jay]

I understood it so that installer will download all mods again, no matter if I have them stored, guess I was wrong

[tawdry token]

@brisk zinc do i just submit the crashlog to this bot like so? thank you

[brisk zinc]

Grok already answered you, I thought it was obvious

[brisk zinc]

If you delete your whole GAMMA folder yes, obviously

In order for GAMMA to work you need to have mods somewhere, it's logical

@tawdry token I suggest you to read #old-how-to better, you have something in Program Files while it clearly says that you need to avoid those folders

[finite star]

anyone else getting this error?

[empty coral]

how can I open this locked door at the merc base?

[woeful ledge]

You can't

Stash is on roof of that bulding, if you are seeking for it

[north turret]

I know there's an update, but how can i delete those files? I tried to delete them even with a program and they are still there.

[empty coral]

Thank you, there is no stash there, just curious because it seems like something similar to the freedom's armory

[bleak vessel]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is an easier way to view the GAMMA guides in the PDA? The blue and gray contrast doesn't mix well with my eyes and I can barely read the crafting guide

[coarse pine]

ok so i get this message spammed at me non stop, i went to the location and its an empty stash at the church graveyard in the swamps. Is there anything im missing? (probably, but cant figure out what so im here)

[coarse pine]

honestly its pretty fine on my end, maybe mess with your monitor's contrast settings

[bleak vessel]

I will try that. Ty

[coarse pine]

i mean there's also probably a way to change the colors, via mod or changing files, but thats outside my field of knowledge

[graceful iron]

set a RF receiver to that frequency and follow the beeps, there should be a package item on the ground that you can collect and open for random supplies

[coarse pine]

ye ye did all that, but all i found was an empty stash. I'll have another look i guess

thanks

[graceful iron]

its not a stash

just a box/bag on the ground or hidden somewhere

[coarse pine]

ooh i see i see

[bleak vessel]

Holding F should make it a lot easier to see

[graceful iron]

you can pick it up and open it in your inventory

[coarse pine]

thanks a bunch mates

[graceful iron]

you mean the repair guides for armor and weapons ?

[bleak vessel]

Yes

The blue font color is nearly illegible for me

[graceful iron]

!apart

[raw raft]

Text guides about repairing, mantaining and cleaning your gun and your armor:

For weapons: #╭📖faq message
For armors: #╭📖faq message

[bleak vessel]

Amazing thank you

[graceful iron]

you can open original and zoom in to see them better

[nova kraken]

something is wrong with spawning mutants

the underground below chernobyl NPP

where you fight tons of monolith suddenly spawn a lot of them

cats, burers, snorks, poltergieists, etc

[versed tusk]

Aight, I finally also have a quick question. The AUG 9mm XS doesnt seem to have mags, anyone one know which one to use?

The one I picked up had a Stanag inside and that aint working when it's the 9mm version

[tawdry token]

Thanks. Will do. I appreciate your help and patience.

[north turret]

@graceful iron I am sorry for pinging you, but i have not found a solution on their deletion. I tried CMD and it said that they are too long.

[versed tusk]

The desription says TMP Mags - but I have not seen a TMP in any list of available shit

[graceful iron]

you need to run the cmd as admin

you are trying to delete them ?

[north turret]

Yeah. They take more space than i though.

[viral stone]

i just performed a new install

did the install fuck up or are med now icon less?

last time played was couple of months ago

[north turret]

I have to always delete them i guess. Or what if i don't touch them when i am making new installation?

[viral stone]

oh yeah nevermind me i only had 211 mods installed instead of 325

sorry

[graceful iron]

make sure you have the latest installer version 3.7

!installer

[raw raft]

Make sure you have the latest version you can find pinned in #📢announcements, it's 3.7

[viral stone]

yeah i got it ^^ im already running a new install

[north turret]

It didn't work. Too long again.

[median lagoon]

for some reason I cannot craft M203 grenades using the old counterpart even though I have them in my inventory

[lime sinew]

bro why I am taking psy damage inside the scorcher? is this a new thing?

[graceful iron]

its in #📎to-do

[median lagoon]

I see, thank you

[graceful iron]

phantoms give psy damage

[lime sinew]

sooo, how do I kill them?

Shooting doesn't seem to work

[graceful iron]

it does

[lime sinew]

Nevermind, I guess I needed more damage

[graceful iron]

you need to shut down the scorcher and kill any psy mutants possibly making those phantoms

you can literally knife or shoot the phantoms with anything

[lime sinew]

I think i'll equip a volat and just gun it

[graceful iron]

psy resistance should definitely reduce the psy damage a lot, make sure to have a little bit of it at the very least

[lime sinew]

Good think I brought my 89% volat

[north turret]

@graceful iron I've manage to delete them. Sorry for pinging you again.

I deleted them with 7-Zip File Manager.

[graceful iron]

are you deleting gamma or just that one addon?

[north turret]

They were a couple from the mods because i was thinking i could delete them with File Shredder feature from a progarm. By now they were 2 addons on 3 mods folder.

Meaning 6 copy addons are gone

[graceful iron]

the mods folder shouldnt have any duplicate addons, the downloads folder does sometimes

[simple quest]

is gamma compatible with 1.5.2

[graceful iron]

no

[simple quest]

ok thx

[graceful iron]

gamma uses the fixes from 1.5.2 already tho

[north turret]

No i made it like that. So it won't make an error during the installation.

[graceful iron]

running the installer as admin is supposed to fix this issue

[empty coral]

how do I find the man's id to revive him?

[north turret]

I moved them outside the gamma folder.

I don't what to make a faulty installation if those are there. And what are the consequences? Crash on start-up or other.

[mental dirge]

does ZCP require reinstall to make sure its not the 1.5 running?

[frank robin]

So, if your torso isn't fully healed do you just suffer constant random limb damage?

I think my limbs are also not healing through sleep.

[north turret]

If Torso goes to 0, it's insta death.

And yeah it's health is drained little by little.

[frank robin]

Yeah, I knew if it hit 0 you died. But having to worry about always keeping it fully healed sounds really tedious.

[north turret]

Agreed. At least Antidote helps to heal it even it's a little.

[frank robin]

I guess with that established, Gamma essentially doubles the amount of healing items you need to use (healing and post-healing) in order to remain combat effective? It sounds expensive, but I guess it's better than how starvation works in EFP.

[fallow bluff]

Newbie question but how do you do the animation where you view your gun?

[north turret]

I only know that they view when you hold them for the first time.

[fallow bluff]

Oh so its not something you can do with a key bind?

[graceful iron]

disable this and then double tap f to inspect the gun

not all guns have the animation

[fallow bluff]

thank youu

[gusty raven]

hum what are the defaults settings on this page when starting in Veteran ?

the Defaults and Reset buttons don't do anything

unsure about the sliders values

[stray dune]

Quick question. Everything under the gamma disabled tab in MO2 after installing, can those safely be activated and used?

[versed tusk]

no

they are deactivated for a reason

if you change anything on the base settings and experience issues, you know why

[stray dune]

I figured as much, I just wanted to ask and make sure.

[versed tusk]

[brisk zinc]

!disabled

[raw raft]

Mods under the G.A.M.M.A Disabled category are disabled for a variety of reasons: compatibility, performance, bugs, busy hands, etc. DO NOT ENABLE THEM FOR ANY REASON.
"But why are those mods there if you can't activate them?", you probably will ask after. Because G.A.M.M.A. as a whole is STILL IN BETA, and no, Grok can't simply remove them. Version 1.0 will have a clean mod list.
That red cross in there it's fine, don't worry about it.

DO NOT ENABLE ANIMATIONS THAT ARE DISABLED BY DEFAULT, IN MCM IN GAME OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MOD LIST, they're disabled for the same reasons written above. If you use them, forget about #old-bugs or #🔨base-gamma-support, don't use these two channels. Use #🔨modded-gamma-support instead.

[plucky tiger]

does Xenotech being set as a "trader" instead of a "loner" now mean that his supply level won't increase with loner goodwill?

[graceful iron]

he never increased his supplies with loner goodwill

[graceful iron]

you need to give him toolkits to do that

[plucky tiger]

ah ok, i've given him basic and advaned and his supply level is only 1

maybe i can force it to 2 in debug mode somehow

i'll look into it

[graceful iron]

you will notice his stock change, not the numbers

i am not sure if the supply level actually changes or not

[plucky tiger]

oh ok. gotcha

yeah i'll make sure he sells army rifle tookit and stuch

[viscid tendon]

two questions, first (because im lazy) does anyone know how to depatch to 1.5.1.1? i really dont want to waste two more hours redownloading the entire anomaly .7z with my succy internet

second, ive seen stuff in #╭📖faq about disabling some mods so gamma runs in dx8, but i usually run anomaly in dx9, so do i have to follow the steps of dx8?

[brisk zinc]

No
Download it again

GAMMA doesn't work with DX9

[graceful iron]

you cant run gamma on DX9
gamma uses anomaly 1.5.1(.2but thats just the zip name)

just dont update from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2

#old-framerate-optimisation if you need extra fps

[viscid tendon]

oh i didnt even know a new update came out, but if its fine so long as i dont update. as for the dx does it run on dx10?

oh and thanks

[graceful iron]

8, 10 and 11 work just fine

[viscid tendon]

oke, cheers

[storm rampart]

Hey so I'm just wondering what mod makes it so The traders don't sell guns and if I can turn it off and on? I got a buddy into stalker and he's never played before so I think he'd enjoy it not being as hard

[brisk zinc]

! vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[storm rampart]

thanks m8

[storm rampart]

Hey so we were just trying it out and the gamedata/configs/items folder only has a settings file and that is empty. could there be a problem with the install or our we looking in the wrong spot? Ps we used the other way listed in FAQ and seems to be no issue, still curios about missing file.

[gusty kiln]

Some files are purposefully left empty, as a way to nullify their effects without actually deleting them

[storm rampart]

Okay it doesn't seem to be a problem I probably just miss read the FAQ thanks for the help

[gusty kiln]

Mind I'm not sure about your specific case, just saying that some files are indeed just empty text files

Came into the conversation halfway

[storm rampart]

it's all good I'm pretty sure you're right for my case here everyone is so nice and helpful and I'm loving the modpack

[brisk zinc]

It's an old guide after all, I can't really keep up with everything

More seriously, I honestly don't know and I can't even check myself right now

In any case I don't think you want to keep GAMMA economy since you want vanilla stuff back anyway

[gusty kiln]

To be fair, GAMMA Economy provides ammo and tools (cooking, etc) in some nice places that aren't there in Vanilla

It also places all the accessories (scopes, etc) in trader inventories

Kinda hard to find them with Vanilla or Trader Overhaul

[storm rampart]

This is definitely the most complicated mod I've ever tired out but it's worth also what dose gamma economy change really because I found the trader over haul separate

[brisk zinc]

!to

[raw raft]

Trader Overhaul isn't about weapons and armors (no you don't need to start a new game): #╭📖faq message

[storm rampart]

[brisk zinc]

@gusty kiln read it

[storm rampart]

nioce alright well back to zone thanks for help again guy's

[oak vine]

why are some of my companions sometimes just not attacking when the rest of my squad is fighting? it often seems they dont get aggo

[gusty kiln]

I did, I played with only TO for a while. Only GAMMA Economy has the NATO and WP trader supply profiles

So disabling GAMMA Economy can make finding most scopes/silencers a hassle

I don’t remember what playing with both changed, but I eventually disabled TO

[tribal iris]

Got my first red X after doing a full update 101 - BAS scopes extravaganza 2D shader-based copes patch. Should I just try again? or is it something with this specific mod?

[brisk zinc]

Another person with this problem

You're the second one for now

I guess the mod is dead on many Moddb mirrors

[tribal iris]

alright thanks for letting me know. Glad to know it isn't on my end

[brisk zinc]

Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure about that, maybe it's a broken install

My man cat is writing

[graceful iron]

its been updated and its either broken download or installation

[brisk zinc]

Maybe he has the answer

[graceful iron]

we need to make sure

[brisk zinc]

Okay here's the answer

Yes

That's what I was about to say

It's either a dead mirror OR a broken install

[graceful iron]

but i dont think its a download since the installer automatically searches for a mirror

[brisk zinc]

It goes back to the default mirror*, it's literally what you can read when it happen

I (personally) don't know if it actually search across all the available mirrors

If it does, props to Grok

[graceful iron]

the default mirror is the first one that goes up when an addon is updated, meaning it should always be up

i think

[graceful iron]

no i just really explained that wrong just ignore me

not all are up yet

[brisk zinc]

Ah-ha!

That's the problem then

I mean it could be

If the installer use those specifics mirrors, we have a problem

[graceful iron]

what if you right click on the addon and reinstall ?

[tribal iris]

dont really know what I should be activating, there is several options

[graceful iron]

can you screenshot the window with the options ?

[marble trench]

wtf is a daddy token and why am I getting one

[graceful iron]

its a token that allows you to save anywhere every few minutes (since the default is only campfire and bases saving)

[marble trench]

oh yeah I just turned that shit off

lmao

mod managment settings are nice

[graceful iron]

@willow hawk this addon seems to not install correctly after the last update, probably because of new file structure ? this is currently whats inside the zip file

[brisk zinc]

If the mod author changed something, then Grok need to change it again

As it is now, we need to make the choice ourself, when we shouldn't

[midnight blaze]

I'm coming back to GAMMA after some time and I wanted to ask about a feature that I couldn't find anymore. What mod/setting made it so putting on armour and using repair items had animations?

[marble trench]

a whole bunch of harry potter fans just ran up on me anyone know a weakness of theirs?

why would we want to make such little money?

lmao

shit scam

[midnight blaze]

That's a scam bot

@tidal raft

[tidal raft]

Cat got it.

[marble trench]

cats do like to kill rats

[midnight blaze]

Alright. Thanks anyways

[marble trench]

what exactly does hip need for the TOZ-194 mission? I have one, and some ammo but I cant turn it in to her

[tidal raft]

Make sure it is twenty 12x70 Buckshot.

[marble trench]

does every component on it need to be green? or something

[tidal raft]

No. I do think it has to have parts in their slots though.

[marble trench]

damn i poured a lot of money into fixing it thinking that was the prob

[brisk zinc]

Probably something related to FDDA, animations of that type have been disabled because they bring problems

[tepid shadow]

How would I go about activating the debug menu for Gamma?

[brisk zinc]

[keen laurel]

Hey so i got mags redux enabled without unjam reload fix enabled, i press R and it literally just refuses to reload from my loadout, i made a new fresh game save and debug spawned myself a shotgun and a glock and this is my first time playing with mags redux, i loaded the magazines and marked them for loadout and hit R, nothing happened, i then hit Z the unjam hotkey, nothing happend, i have super jams disabled btw, i then tried loading the gun manually by dragging the magazine over the glock, that worked, i then tried the ks23 i gave myself by hitting R, no reload happened and it stayed empty, i checked and there should be no keybind conflicts, what do i do to be able to reload regularly? Is there some different hotkey im unaware of to reload from loadout'?

[zealous condor]

make sure to check your keybinds mag redux defaults your reload key to f10 at least for me it does that.

[keen laurel]

@tidal raft 'Hey so i got mags redux enabled without unjam reload fix enabled'

[tidal raft]

And then you checked the in-game keybind settings, surely?

[keen laurel]

Yes want a screen of it being R?

To be honest im about done, i think i might just play without it ON if i have to go through this much hassle

[tidal raft]

Which one? And yes, mags is not worth it.

[keen laurel]

WDYM WHICH ONE HAHAHAH!?! It doesnt have a Mod manager settings keybind i checked, its legit just base game keybind lololo

im gonna just go back to basic vanilla anomaly reload mechanics

[tidal raft]

sigh..

[keen laurel]

what a shite optional addon

[tight relic]

Mags Redux changes the default reload key to F10 and puts unjam on R

iirc

[keen laurel]

ik i switched it

[tight relic]

Since you did change that, and just to make sure, did you load bullets into the mag?

[keen laurel]

when i first got in and went into debug and spawned me a glock and ks

[keen laurel]

yes glock 17/17

lol

whatever, i just dont care anymore, like i said im just going back to the good old Y wheel

bad addon

grok plz fix

[tidal raft]

As in "which key?", and don't be such a twat to people trying to help—especially to Grok.

[pulsar jay]

can I somehow unbind MCM keybind actions I don't want to use?

[gusty kiln]

Welcome to X-Ray flavortown. You have to find the file in which that keybind is determined, and then leave it empty. There is no "clear keybind" button/option, unfortunately

[subtle juniper]

Which addon in the GAMMA load order determines the stats of armors? (Specifically, something like fire_wound_protection for example.) Thanks!

[dawn igloo]

Is there a way to make your characters footsteps not so far panned left and right? i feel especially its heavy on the right ear, always makes me feel like someone is around me

[still knot]

when it comes to the weapon repair kits how does one get them to appear in traders. is it tied to the tool quest or the faction rep? i assume xenotech at cordon can sell historic weapon repair kit etc?

[graceful iron]

you need toolkits to craft repair kits or give the toolkits to technicians and they will sell those repair kits

#│📚manual

[still knot]

the manual doesnt state what the method to increase the technician stock only traders unless i missed it. i know how to repair etc i was just curious as my loner clear sky rep is enough for level 2 but xenotech is still 1 so i assume it will be giving toolsets for technician supply level.

[brisk zinc]

Yes, you level technicians by giving toolkits to them

Always keep for yourself the first toolkit you can find and give away the second of everything when you find it
Basic/advanced/expert for technicians and drug kit for doctors

If nothing changed, gunsmith toolkits are just sellable because nobody wants them, just keep one for yourself

[still knot]

@brisk zinc thanks dude!

[plucky tiger]

so i'm showing 325 active mods, but several don't seem to be listed? can't find death animations, gardener of the zone, and a few others in MO2

and only 2 things showing under optional

[paper arrow]

Companion not using the weapon i gave her

[brisk zinc]

Use one channel for questions, not multiple, please

It's for keeping the problem "contained" in one place

[plucky tiger]

got it, apologies

[brisk zinc]

If you're missing mods, one problem could be the installer

[plucky tiger]

if I hover over 295 it seems some are not "visible," but I haven't seen that before

[brisk zinc]

Are you on version 3.7?

[plucky tiger]

If they were missing would it still say 295?

let me check

yes, 3.7

[brisk zinc]

I think the "All" number should 353 but don't quote me on that

[plucky tiger]

re-downloaded the installer before I did the reinstall

[brisk zinc]

You're literally missing mods after all

[plucky tiger]

yep

i guess I'll just retry full gamma installation
