[brisk zinc]

I'd try with another full install, it's literally the only way
Maybe you could change mirror

[plucky tiger]

unless it's better if I delete everything first?

[brisk zinc]

No no don't delete anything

[plucky tiger]

KK

[brisk zinc]

It's not worth it

About the full install

It depends when you did the last one

[plucky tiger]

i'll change mirrors and rerun the full gamma installation. So, question: if it says 295 in my case, which is what the install guide says to check for, even though I'm missing mods, is there some way to be sure whether or not it worked this other time? I noticed because specific mods I'm looking for were missing, but there could be other things missing I just wasn't trying to enable

[brisk zinc]

You need to have #📍577-mods-in-mo2

If you don't have that number, you're missing mods

100%

They're enabled by default

It's something you can't miss

You either have them or not

[plucky tiger]

ah ok bird up, that's my bad I misread the number

redoing the install now

thank you!

[north turret]

So, been playing for a while and today i decided to do a full install to keep gamma up do date and this mod has an X on it, already tried doing an "only install gamma mods" and still X.

[lethal patio]

same here

[north turret]

I checked what's inside and it's a bunch of folders with different names / no gamedata

[brisk zinc]

We know it

Yes

Grok need to check it out

We (moderators) believe it's something about the installation

Probably the mod author updated something

It's basically a broken install

[north turret]

Ok, tried to search for extravaganza in search bar and BAS scopes and didn't find anything about it, so decided to ask

[brisk zinc]

It's because nobody asked for that

It's just something that happened like two times, maybe three

[north turret]

Yeah, just making sure i didn't miss anything

Thanks Falco 👍

[paper arrow]

anyone have an idea why hip isnt using the gun i gave her?

its in perfect condition

she's using some shitty shotgun i cant see in her inventory

[brisk zinc]

It's because companions doesn't work that way

They have a specific way of thinking when it comes to guns

The best thing you can enable is the inventory unlocker

You can remove her weapons so she will use whatever you give her

[paper arrow]

ah is that an optional addon?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[paper arrow]

doesnt seem to work
still cant see her toz
moddb page says there's an optional mode?

[sleek delta]

Hey, so I'm trying to fine Kovalev's laptop at the nerver wrecker, but I can't find it, is the laptop a random spawn or a specific spot?

[plucky tiger]

this is how the OKP-7 is supposed to look right? no visible glass or anything just the reticle?

[paper arrow]

The quest says it's supposed to be on the 2nd floor but it's actually on the 3rd floor

go up the stairs with the barrels on them

or up the stair on the outside

its the very top floor

[sleek delta]

Thanks

[split wigeon]

My gamma randomly crashes everytime I fire any gun, and it says no error it just crashes:(

anyone here knows the possible problem?

[fervent siren]

so uhm, is it normal for Gamma to just get stuck on a loading screen while trying to load a save/start a new game

maybe its just the sheer amount of mods but i wanna make sure

[spiral pasture]

anyone else having low FPS since the last update?

[plucky tiger]

It can take awhile to load but eventually hitting a button should close the loading screen and get you back into the game. Starting a new game and the first time you load your save after booting up the game take the longest

[paper arrow]

Companion inventory unlocker doesnt seem to work :/

[empty coral]

anyone knows how to find the stalker's id with name so I can rev him?

[split wigeon]

Guys, my game crashes when I shoot any shotgun to any npc's..

[willow hawk]

In the ah storylines files

[empty coral]

Thanks!

[unkempt bronze]

I've been trying to find companions from Cordon making my way up to Rostok, didn't find a single npc with the dialogue to join party. I have a good reputation and constantly make quests for the factions in question

The option to hire npc's with money is still a thing?

[empty coral]

yes I can hire merc with money, but idk for other factions

[nova kraken]

help, I've been stuck with the ecologist's quest

after doing the one from Army Warehouse, the ecologist sent me to Limansk and find his colleague PDA

he said something about collapsed tunnel near a bridge

I check near the one that has two tunnel nearby but can't find anything

did I search at wrong place?

[north turret]

Follow this: #🔨base-gamma-support message

You were at the right place

[nova kraken]

thanks a lot

[paper arrow]

is supply level supposed to drop over time?

i came back to novichok and my supply level had dropped from 5 to 3

[bleak jungle]

Is rad broken with for anyone else with new update? I have end-game gear and artys and suddenly can't go 2 feet in some areas that were fine before.

[north turret]

Supply level depends on your goodwill with a certain faction.

[tidal raft]

It drops if you lose goodwill, often due to completing tasks for a competing faction.

[paper arrow]

thats weird
howcome my supply level for spore the CS trader is 5 but my supply level for the CS technician is 3

[gusty kiln]

Technicians's Supply Level is based on how many toolkits you gave them, not on Goodwill

So +1 per toolkit, up to 4 after you give them an Expert Toolkit

[paper arrow]

ooooooooh

yeah that makes sense

and i suppose traders will never sell you armor?

[gusty kiln]

Yes, never sell/buy armor or guns, unless you remove a certain file

[paper arrow]

so if i want better CS armor i need to find it somewhere?

[gusty kiln]

Or do some of the CS quests, I think they give some armor as reward, not sure which kind

Or trade in the armor of other factions for CS armors

[paper arrow]

i got the entry-level armor lol

CS-1 or smth

[north turret]

I think the rewards have been changed for Last Dawn questline. So I’m not sure if Cold still gives you alright armors on completion.

[paper arrow]

well next quest is to go to zaton and i am not equipped at all to go past the red forest yet

[bronze bear]

is it possible to sell weapons or armor to a trader?

[paper arrow]

only technicians

and its often better to disassemble them first so you can keep any parts over 60%

serious

horde those parts

[bronze bear]

does he buy them at any durability?

[paper arrow]

anything above 0

so 1% and above

also if you find a gun you really want but all its parts are busted, field strip it instead

[paper whale]

Is GAMMA 1.5.2 compatible or do we still need to wait? If GAMMA is compatible: Do you need to update Anomaly to 1.5.2 manually or does GAMMA do it on it's own?

[bronze bear]

my trader wont buy any guns or armor i sell

[tidal raft]

Think about it: Does GAMMA download Anomaly for you? #old-how-to

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[paper whale]

No. That doesn't answer the question whether it is compatible. It implicitly answers the question that GAMMA doesn't download the patch though.

"Doesn't download Anomaly" => "Doesn't download Anomaly patches" is not a necessarily true statement. While I do assume it doesn't, I am unsure hence I am asking.

Therefore both my questions are still not explicitly answered.

Your link to #old-how-to helped me though, which states "DON'T UPDATE TO 1.5.2" which also hints GAMMA currently not being compatible with 1.5.2

[tidal raft]

And then you check #📢announcements.

Hey do you guy's know where I can find the radioactive workshop apparently near Rostok checkpoint but I'm not finding anything.

[oak vine]

2 of my 6 companions are not fighting. what is happening? i need the firepower!

[north turret]

are they allied/neutral with your enemy's faction?
I had a ecologist companion who didn't ever shoot at mercs

[pulsar jay]

I have two companions and can't seem to recruit any more. Is there a limit to only 2? And can I somehow increase the limit of my squad?

[north turret]

limit is two (raised by an additional two by the Folk Hero achievement)
if you get a companion with their own squad, that can exceed the companion limit

[nova kraken]

help

where can I find the document in lab x19

related to the ecologist’s quest

about artificial artifact

[pulsar jay]

shame, so there is no easy way to increase it? I saw people having 6 fellas in squad

[graceful iron]

taking quests that give companions or taking companions that have a squad

[mental dirge]

can ssomeone point me to the location of the alife file?

there is still the original file apart from the one in "turn on this if you stutter" add on right?

[vivid kraken]

Is there any way to fix weapon parts that are under 60% or should i just sell em?

[oak vine]

i use the "hes with me mod" that shold not be aproblem

[north turret]

AFAIK and in the short bit of testing, that only makes it so that your ally doesn't have their usual enemies, but it does nothing about your ally's friends

so if you are Clear Sky and grab a Freedom member, then Duty won't shoot him
but that Freedom member will not shoot Bandits, because they are neutral

[graceful iron]

he is with me only makes your companions not get shot by their enemies and they wont shoot either

it doesnt make them shoot your enemies

there is another addon called "fight my foes" that makes them do that if you really want

[orchid barn]

The AK-105 Specialist has a canted red dot on it by default, but for whatever reason the switch scope bind doesn't change to it. I don't have any other weapons with secondary optics, so I dunno if this is an issue with switching scopes in my game in general, or this weapon specifically. Does anyone else have/has had one of these & do you know how the optics work?

[graceful iron]

press v

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

switch scope equips/unequips scopes from your inventory to the gun you are currently holding

Ah yeah, I was going by the MCM keybind. Thank you!

[patent badge]

what is the best thing to do with some of these low quality artifacts I get? Not the perk ones but the main artis. They are too low to sell to the ecos

I would apreciate any help

[paper whale]

#old-feedback-suggestions message
@pulsar jay I am 97% sure that I paid my dude to follow me 24h and I have no other mods. Do you have to pay for companions in GAMMA or is my companion a bandit in disguise?

[north turret]

thanks. bandits really get the short end of the stick huh

[pulsar jay]

I have one Loner and one Dutier, never paid them nothing

[paper whale]

Maybe others can confirm the pay/24h thing. If not I will dispose my then proven bandit companion

[pulsar jay]

its maybe coz he's a bandit xD my companions are loyal, I have them for like 5 days, never paid them

maybe unique bandit mechanic

[viscid tendon]

dx10 (avx) btw

[boreal jewel]

I'm new to STALKER, but figured that as I'll probably only play through once I might as well go the whole hog and do fully modded, so Anomaly/GAMMA looked to tick all the boxes. So please excuse the noob questions. 1. Are all the containers in the starter village supposed to be completely empty (including the one in the attic I had to parkour to get to), or am I missing something in the inventory screen when I interact with a container? And 2. Why do I often find myself moving at a snails pace when I'm not encumbered, usually after exiting the Inventory menu or dialogue?

[viscid tendon]

pretty sure gamma stops random stashes (i.e random containers) from spawning items in them, unless an npc tells you about one with items in it (buying the info, completing jobs, looting corpses)

not too sure about the second question, someone else will have to answer that

[agile pivot]

Everyone is a noob at some point no problem:

1. Yes, thats the catch with GAMMA: all usual stashes are mostly empty unless you have them marked (by finding pda or receiving quest reward), also Weapons and Armor are only scavangeable (and sometimes from quests), but the crafting system, while at first overwhelming is way more forgiving and usable than standard Anomaly (imo).
2. make sure, that you don't push the walk button in inventory (don't remember default, but i think walk maybe shift, which is also the quick move)

[north turret]

Hey I saw someone else play this and thought that if you create a stash, it would persist between different characters if you're running Ironman characters. However when I die and go to stash locations, they're not there. Is that not how it works, or is there something I'm doing that makes the stashes despawn?

[dawn igloo]

hey i have a shitty small keyboard with no home key. i cant find where to re map the reshade key to something else. any help?

[north turret]

huh looks like maybe this might work for you, I figured there'd be something like this in that case

[dawn igloo]

thanks!

[north turret]

The shadows in my game are literally pitch black. It happened when I used Enhanced Shaders with vanilla Anomaly, and I fixed it just by adjusting values in the console (e.g. lumscale_hemi).
Only problem is, every time I go to alter the values in GAMMA they just revert back after a few seconds. Anyone know how this can be fixed? Cheers.

[boreal jewel]

Is there a way to reset all the keybinds to the correct ones as per #│💻keybinds-in-gamma ? I accidentally hit Default in the game Controls menu and I'm hoping there's an easy way of getting the correct binds back again.

I am happy to start a fresh game, so if running the installer again will fix it I'm ok with that.

[willow hawk]

Reinstall Screen Space Shader addon and disable Water SSR

[willow hawk]

They have a very bad aim as well and poor armors

Makes sense you won't get good loot from these easy enemies

[oak vine]

should that be in the modorganizer list? It's not there for me.

[graceful iron]

its not in gamma, you will have to download and add it manually

make sure to install it using mo2, not extracting it in the game files

[north turret]

I figured it out, there's a roguelite mod that's disabled by default, I'm good now 👍

[signal wolf]

okay can anyone explain to me why i have 4 guys(Freedom) spawn 20 feet behind me(Duty)? And what i can do to stop this?

[old bloom]

Is it safe to disable Voiced Actor in MO2? I'm not a fan of how my character often repeats the same line 4+ times during firefights.

[trail thorn]

Sorry to bother you but where exactly is the Water SSR?

[willow hawk]

Screen space Shader addon....

In the shaders separator

Right click reinstall mod

Untick water SSR

Ok

And you need to remove Anomaly/appdata/shaders_cache addon

[trail thorn]

Oh shit... It says "Mods installed with old versions of MO can't be reinstalled in this way". Well still thanks for the help

[oak vine]

does move to point actually work? I just cant get it to work...

[trail thorn]

Is this even normal? When trying to re install

[calm temple]

I have a question. I know the military has had a new questline added along with factions like ecologists and clear sky. If I say made a Eco character and was friendly with both clear sky and the military while they both hate each other, could I do both story lines or would one lock me out of the other?

[tribal iris]

What st_quest file should I read if I want to find the anomaly quest line? Specifically the one for prof chernov. The Find the sample in the southern Hell's Wall anomaly.

[graceful iron]

it does, but companions are just stupid and you need to make sure nothing got in the way of the command. any physical objects will block the command (including companions themselves)

[graceful iron]

you can do both, but some of the clear sky quests will have you fight military

[calm temple]

Ah, so while I can play both sides, the rep will be taking a hit as I do it. Will the rep hit be like the usual "You did a job for [Blank], [Blank] did not like that, or straight 0 to 100, outright hostility?

[graceful iron]

the military goodwill and relations wont be affected, but your reputation will go down for shooting friendly/neutral factions and the military stalkers you shot will shoot back

[calm temple]

Eh, thats fine. I assume I can rebuild rep/relations back up after the fact

Cause I am very curious to see the new content but dont want to start 3 different characters to see it all, yea know?

[storm rampart]

Do you guy's know who will take documents I found the military doc and the x-16 research but nobody is taking them

[hearty cave]

Just started a new game as UNISG, any tips? I know you are supposed to get a disguise but I feel it's a catch 22 because in order to repair the armor, you need tools and technician, which are basically not possible because almost all factions are hostile.

[soft leaf]

get a damaged outfit and move FAST

but try to blend in

also you're friend with the mercs

[graceful iron]

you dont need a technician, you can do everything yourself as long as you have the tools

#│📚manual

[graceful iron]

document selling was disabled, for some factions storylines they are needed and some people sold them and got stuck because they cant complete the quest anymore without debug

[hearty cave]

Which requires toolkits which can't be crafted without some meterials bought from technicians, unless you grind for the drops.

In vanilla, also in vanilla anomaly, techs can repair armor for you if you just pay. But in gamma, it's not possible.

It's a lot of catch 22 to play UNISG in gamma

[severe sorrel]

Is there a way to remove the random raditation patches?

[lofty pivot]

hi, does somebody know why the water seems like that 😅

[quiet rock]

you mean this?

that orange steam is an anomaly

[lofty pivot]

nono, those white and purple dots on the reflection

[quiet rock]

ohhhh

idk, could be a video/graphic issue?

first time seeing it

[lofty pivot]

it could be, i´ve been having it through various installs. maybe its my graph card

[boreal jewel]

What are the mods under the GAMMA Disabled and GAMMA Add-ons in MO2 after a fresh install?

[graceful iron]

depending on the enemy you are usually fighting, you can end up with a lot of repair and cleaning items

[graceful iron]

its meant to be for advanced anomaly/gamma players only. UNISG runs never were easy and in gamma they are just harder

[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.

[north turret]

yup
just disable Voiced Actor - DesmanMetzger and G.A.M.M.A. Voiced Actor in the Mod Organizer
safe to do even mid-playthrough, or at least I had zero problems after doing the same
you do still have pain grunts and and such from some consumables, but you won't be shouting words at people

[boreal jewel]

Thanks. What about the three Add-ons mods?

[hearty cave]

In that case, it's just grind and farming lol.

[viscid tendon]

hey, anyone got an alife.ltx file lying around somewhere

im getting hella stutters and usually that's causing it when i play anomaly/cop

alternatively, does adding a alife.ltx file from vanilla anomaly break anything

[fervent siren]

so i was testing some guns and when trying out the tactical kits for the SIG P220 i noticed they mention a laser sight. I installed both versions and there is no pointer or beam or anything, my stalker is just holding the pistol sideways like a dingus

[north turret]

You have to hold L to turn on the laser 😁

[fervent siren]

but L is the remove patch hotkey

i'm on vanilla gamma btw

[north turret]

Have you tried enabling the “turn this on if you stutter” addon in MO2? It changes some alife values.

[viscid tendon]

oh

[north turret]

I’m on vanilla as well

[viscid tendon]

didnt know it existed

[fervent siren]

it worked, thanks!

[viscid tendon]

ill turn it on, if it doesnt help ill put my pre-configed anomaly alife.ltx in and see if my pc bluescreens XD

[fervent siren]

now i can be propperly tacticool while getting ripped apart by boars

[frosty mantle]

Where do I find the experimental exo PSU manuals?

to craft them

[north turret]

Give it a try! 😀 Hopefully it helps you

[north turret]

Ecologists sell them at 2000 goodwill. They’ll pop up randomly. So you can buy only one at a time and have to wait for restock if that’s not the one you wanted.

[frosty mantle]

ok thanks

that's rough

[north turret]

Nah, it’s fine. They’re always there for sale once you get 2k of goodwill, it might just be that for example instead of the Reactor PSU they’ll be selling the manual of a different one. I’ve just bought them all for collection 😁

Well, unless you’re hostile to ecologists

[north turret]

I got reactor PSU manual from Dushman after high goodwill

[viscid tendon]

just starting gamma so im new to the trade and damage system's, can anyone recommend a good buy-sell-mission rewards ratio so i dont get super geared in the midgame or stuck in the hobo phase for half the play through, and a player protection and bullet power value as well, to where it doesnt feel like the enemies are made of paper, but also dont take too many shots with a decent gun to take down

[warm remnant]

Okay so i used to be able to disassemble basic shit, like ammo and clothes, but now it says i need a disassembling tool, what counts as that?

[stable stag]

Multitool, grooming kit, swiss army knife

[warm remnant]

huh, must always have had one of those in my inventory, i guess

thanks 👍

[soft leaf]

is it safe, say, to remove the downloads folder if i need space and my latest gamma install was successful?

[willow hawk]

Most stuffs are balanced, play with what you find. Some stuff are very strong, but usually hard to sustain (7.62x54r AP, etc)

SKS/ K98 start are obviously super strong but you'll need them

[viscid tendon]

oke thanks for the info

[boreal jewel]

I think I am missing something regarding radiation here. I've just started a fresh game, and have just done the tutorial anomaly mission with Fanatic. I have a lead lined container, so the artefact or whatever it is is in that, but I'm taking a ton of rad damage. I moved the container out of my inventory and into a chest, but the rad icon is still showing and I'm still taking damage. I have a mask on, 100% condition. So I drink the vodka, makes no difference. I take anti-rads, they reduce the rad meter to zero, but within a few seconds the icon is back and the rads shoot up again. I can't do anything to stop myself dying. I have nothing else radioactive in my inventory as far as I can tell, so what am I missing?

To clarify, I am back at the training village after that mission when this is happening.

[viscid tendon]

im experiencing bugs with that quest too

might be better for you reload an old save then to just debug two artifacts (what you'd get from the quest) and go on from there

[boreal jewel]

Nvm, it was the fecking anomalous bread that was doing it!

[calm temple]

Question but is it possible to fast travel? I saw somewhere in the mod pack mention it but I can’t recall where

[charred oak]

I found that disabling the area indicator helped when trying to click on the little green home icon

[calm temple]

Ok

[boreal jewel]

Just in case I get absolutely fubar and I haven't been able to save for an hour, is there a god mode console command or a way to give myself stimpacks...

[cedar jasper]

hi guys I'm pretty new, atm downloading gamma, what should I expect from game? I played all three stalkers, first and last finished half-way and fully finished clear sky, and liked it, however when I tried vanilla anomaly it felt really bad, like missions I got were on other side of world and other forced me to go in radiation zone without gear to survive so game balance was completely wrong

[trail thorn]

I am kind a new on this particular mod as well but I think now I have a not so terrible understanding about what this mod is suppose to feels like. So in this mod you can expect a lot of crafting and weapon/armor maintaining. Armors and weapons are not in good condition and unlike the other games there are no factory new aks with scopes waiting for you at the traders. You don't buy your weapons you literally just grab them from the dead bodies of other stalkers. And also don't even think about going north if you don't have good armor/suit and a perfect condition rifle. You will get killed over and over again. One thing you need to expect is before you can do anything serious, like every other stalker you are going to do other stalker's errands for incredibly low money. And don't think finding artifacts will let you cut corners. They will not. At the start almost all of your money will go to healing yourself. After awhile when you start to get better equipment then you will finally be able save some money. To put it simply in this mod zone doesn't hold back. It will try to put you down in every way. You are really gonna have to fight to survive through this mod. Good luck, you are definetly going to need it.

[cedar jasper]

hmm I think you just described in details that game is hard and why is it hard, however I would rather ask what to actually do in it? like save world from zone or research zone or save somebody or these things, like main goals and motivation to survive kill repair and get money

in original stalker games It felt llike I had reason to play it, in anomaly it felt all soo much pointless (in my limited time experience)

[pine solar]

i've updated the game and got a red cross on the 101 - BAS scopes extravaganza 2D shader-based scopes. I've downloaded it manually and performed a complete install again and it still shows a red cross

[trail thorn]

Oh I see. Well to simply answer, stalker is one of those games where the journey is more interesting then your goals and ambitions. And also i am not sure if you aware but there are multiple stories for this mod. And ofcourse lots of different factions give you lots of different ways to aproach the game. But mostly I would advice you to just experience the zone. The most simple and cliche quest can end up becoming a incredible experience for you because thats just how stalker is. And also I would strongly suggest you to absolutely not fast travel. You will miss so much that the zone can offer you.

[paper arrow]

there is a storymode in Anomaly/Gamma
as far as RP is concerned just think about your character and what his goals/motivations are?
read up on each faction and try and think about who your character might sympathise with and who he might want to avoid
are you a bounty hunter that tracks down bandits? mutants? do you want to focus on being an artifact hunter? or are you going to kill and rob your fellow stalkers? etc

[cedar jasper]

also how much time spent would be necessary to get investment back? like I can play half life 2 for 3 hours and get them instantly, this feels like I need to play 20 hours to even start getting time investment back in fun and experience

[trail thorn]

Not really. I am not going to deny that the endgame is really fun but still early game is much more complex. And also once you get a rifle with a scope. You are almost ready for everything the zone is gonna throw at you. Just watch for anomalies becayse those death traps would have no problem with sending you to a save you took 30 minutes ago. And also I might add, there is something really nice about early game stalker. The high risks makes things a lot more interesting at times.

And there is something very satisfying about taking a stalker with nothing but a pistol and turn him into a exo skeleton wearing legend that just one taps enemies with a AS VAL.

[cedar jasper]

interesting

maybe I was so frustrated with anomaly that I went in with expectations that I will never be able to get through the hard part in the beginning

[graceful iron]

right click > reinstall

[cedar jasper]

@trail thorn even I'm considering going to gamma witch debug mode or something at first so I can get a hook on the game,

[graceful iron]

you really shouldnt, anomaly is going to be rough at the start and thats part of the learning and fun of the game

early game is possibly the most fun once you know what you are doing

[cedar jasper]

haha in anomaly I never got to that part 😄

[graceful iron]

also, gamma is not going to be any easier than vanilla anomaly. i am still not sure why you went from a game thinking it was unfair to a modpack for the same game

[cedar jasper]

moslty because visually it looks better, original anomaly gun animations are like fork in my eyes

and other things

[trail thorn]

Oh yeah I agree with that

One of the main reasons why I moved to this mod was the polished animations.

[cedar jasper]

also I secretly hope ai will be fixed kinda

[trail thorn]

I am going to be completly honest with you. If you want a balanced and fair game Stalker is not really what you are looking for 😄 The zone can be really unfair and thats just how it is. You gotta learn to live with it

Thats why spam f5

[cedar jasper]

for example in skyrim I completely changed difficulty with mods

[graceful iron]

stalker AI will probably never be fully "fixed", the engines and their forks are years old by now. even remakes take the same AI or similar behavior

[cedar jasper]

at first played it on easiest and eventually got to tuning it super difficult

like original stalker games were really fun

[trail thorn]

Yeah man don't get me wrong I love skyrim but legendary difficulty skyrim is a piece of cake compared to hard mode stalker

[cedar jasper]

so yeah if I tune difficulty with some debug tools it shouldn't be a problem then

[trail thorn]

I haven't played in Easy difficulty in a long time but still if my memory was correct it was not terribly hard

I'll say just try the default easy mode and if that is too hard then try the debug

[cedar jasper]

maybe I'm not going for that feeling where I enjoy how good and powerful I became in game, but rather I will make it super easy and enjoy story content that is implemented in gamma

tho in real life I do that grind, where I enjoy it 😄

[rancid holly]

uh dumb question I'm used to normal Anomaly/EFP so wtf happened to the Stashes?

oop

sorry I interrupted a convo

sorry

[cedar jasper]

np

[trail thorn]

Nah man no worries. The stashes will be empty.

For them to have any loot in them they have to be marked on the map

Usually as a reward you will get stash locations.

Or just ask traders about stashes.

[rancid holly]

damn seriously? I'm so used to relying on Stashes for free goodies lmfao

[trail thorn]

Me too 😄 This mod doesn't hold back

But I did realize that once you actually get them they have pretty good loot in them.

[cedar jasper]

btw those guns (BAS) are from tarkov or custom made?

[rancid holly]

damn seriously?? need to do quests and not fuck around ig haha, also would ray of hope work for this?

[cedar jasper]

I think with basic raycasting and simple math it should be possible at least obvious things like ai seeing through vegetation and similar things

[trail thorn]

From what I know its a mix of Gunslinger mod ,EFT and some other stuff that I can't really remember

[trail thorn]

I really don't know.

[rancid holly]

well thank you for helping!

[cedar jasper]

isn't that like super illegal too distribute their content for free?

I'm getting torched even for just assets I legally buy that I didn't make it on my own lol

[trail thorn]

I mean it can be but I am quite sure that the creator of the mod has permision for them.

[cedar jasper]

if he has permission is all good

[boreal jewel]

How do you enable debug mode in GAMMA?

[cedar jasper]

good question I plan to do that 😄

[graceful iron]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[willow hawk]

play easy tourist, should be good enough for a first experience

still, read the manual

the game has new mechanics that can be quite daunting. Have fun 🙂

[trail thorn]

Quick question why is the companions not sprinting? They fall behind when traveling long roads.

Oh wait a minute im dumb. I think they do

[past elk]

Hi, its like this how zcp should be? 1.5 was enable before.

[split wigeon]

Why this guy's gun is floating?

[grizzled raven]

dark magic

[tall wadi]

normal effect in a radiated region like the Zone

[split wigeon]

Also, is there anyway to brighten up the flashlight? Because mine is very dim..

[tall wadi]

u can brighten up the night vision google by simply press N

[frank robin]

Is the RF receiver still bugged? I've been walking around truck cemetery for the past half-hour and still can't find the drop.

[north turret]

Hey guys so to find basic tools since regular stashes have nothing, is my best bet to buy stash locations?

[vernal wharf]

When you say to the Wish Granter that you want to be rich, ||is it supposed to crash? lol||

[vernal wharf]

The green stashes are guaranteed to have tools, it could have any type tho, but you can also find them in the white ones. Try looking those

personally i dont want to gamble 6.5k for a stash who knows where

[north turret]

green and white stashes? like the regular boxes?

[vernal wharf]

Like the icon in the PDA Map

[north turret]

how would one find those icons on the PDA

[vernal wharf]

Like these icons you see, there is also the Purple ones that area really rare and have better loot

[north turret]

how do i get them?

[vernal wharf]

Looting bodies, completing tasks, buying them, looking from dead Stalker PDAs

[silk hinge]

kill stalkers, read PDAs logs, get lucky

[north turret]

ohhhhhhhhhh right gotcha

oh yeah i remember.

it's been like 2 years since ive played anomaly so im VERY rusty.

[vernal wharf]

You got this Stalker

[narrow valve]

isn't it intended that armor can be repaired at the dealer? My armor is at 50% condition and I'm missing a medium repair kit

[vernal wharf]

mechanics not longer repair armour, you have to do it always

either using the appropriate tools, or if you cant, replacing the damaged parts

[narrow valve]

is it a mod that blocks repairing?

[vernal wharf]

dont know, maybe staff or grok can tell

[narrow valve]

ok thanks, i thought it was maybe a bug or something xD

[paper arrow]

having trouble finding an eyeball artifact
do they only spawn further north?

or in any heat anomaly?

[brisk zinc]

I don't have the mod list in front of me, can you show me?

[brisk zinc]

Armor can't be repaired from technicians, it's intended, yes
Progression and all that, it makes the game more "difficult" and "longer" since you're stuck with what you have etc.

[bleak jungle]

Did recent update change rad or is this a bug? I have fully upgrade ACE and tier3+ artys and suddenly like there's tons of areas I can't go 1 metre into without maxing rad.

[brisk zinc]

You're playing the game wrong

It's not an update thing

Rad resistance on armors don't matter

Rad resistance on helmets it's what really matter

[bleak jungle]

??? I'm saying I could go into these areas before update, now I can't. Same gear.

[brisk zinc]

Where are you going?

What helmet do you have on you?

Grok didn't touched radiations recently IIRC, like I said the real protection against them is the helmet, only the helmet

The armor should be good against water, like in Great Swamps, but I think Grok disabled that as well

So it's either your helmet or a bug

Or maybe some radiations patches, those small pieces of area where radiation is strongest

[bleak jungle]

Spartan M10, I'm currently in the house north of the river in Limansk where I was a couple days ago fine and now rads max in a couple seconds. But this is occurring in tons of areas.

[brisk zinc]

What's the rad resistance on that one?

[bleak jungle]

53%

[brisk zinc]

Well then, that should be really good

I don't remember the actual "you're good to go for north" number but 53% should be more than enough

[bleak jungle]

Yeah I think it must be a bug.

[brisk zinc]

What artefacts do you have on you?

I'll ping Grok with all the information in one message

[bleak jungle]

Heart, Full Empty, Goldfish x3. But I've tried without artys and other combos. I've noticed even if I enable Godmode with debug the rad is still killing me.

[brisk zinc]

It could be that artefact that gives radiations...

It's an artefact that goes invisible when you grab it and you can't see it in your inventory, I don't remember the name now, I need to make a mental note or something

Try to empty your inventory

[graceful rover]

if i equip an artifact, say a chain, does it only drain the artifact when the effect is applied or does it continously get drained just because of being equipped?

[bleak jungle]

Okay so I cleared my inventory and added it back piece by piece and I think it's the goldfish arty. When I equip the 3rd one rad skyrockets. (they're all in lvl 3 containers).

[honest epoch]

Does anyone know why exactly warfare mode is unstable in GAMMA?

[north turret]

Can anyone answer this question?

[calm temple]

Question but how do I change the weight limit on player stashes? I placed a basic backpack and it only has 50G

[brisk zinc]

Huh, so we have the culprit

[brisk zinc]

There's a mod in the mod list that make stashes unlimited again

[calm temple]

Would you happen to know which one specifically?

[brisk zinc]

!tag + warfare GAMMA isn't really built with Warfare in mind and Warfare, per se, have bad perfomance, bugs, issues, etc., This is why it isn't recommended.
You can play it if you really want to, but forget about this channel and #old-bugs, these two channels are used for GAMMA vanilla and also used by Grok for bug fixing, since GAMMA vanilla doesn't have Warfare, you'll need to use #🔨modded-gamma-support

[raw raft]

Tag "warfare" successfully created.

[brisk zinc]

No sorry, it's something about unlimited stashes capacity

You can also look for everything that isn't enabled, it's quicker

It's an optional mod

[charred oak]

Anyone know a fix for green ground textures, every time I use the guide feature wherever I end up the ground turns green

[warped ginkgo]

you mean you want the default ground texture?

the green texture is from aggresor addon in the mo2 list iirc

[charred oak]

Wait... its NOT supposed to be brown and dreary??

I just assumed everything was dead and or dying

[warped ginkgo]

what

you want to remove the dead zone looking textures?

[charred oak]

Im understanding a more now, Brown = default, aggressor addon = green
Im just wondering how I would make the tree's and bushes match this color scheme

as everywhere else besides the big duty base and now cordon is brown

So was the mod not functioning properly? Should I re-install it to see?

[warped ginkgo]

gamma default texture mods are for brown and dead zone looking

[charred oak]

OOoooooo

[warped ginkgo]

if you want to play with vanilla anomaly textures disable 242 gardener of the zone and 241 simple autumn textures

[charred oak]

Thank you! Like the green look a lot more than the brown

[zealous condor]

i just failed living legends because the guy i had to talk to at army warehouses died somehow i also just did the brainscorcher is there a way to reset the quest and spawn that guy?, (cant remember is name) if not thats fine.

[brisk zinc]

Oh Hey the faq, I should probably read that at some point....

[gaunt prism]

Hey question, when im using the mag mod, it seems that i cant reload the gun in combat, i have to go into my inventory and replace it manually, also i cant seem to get rid of the original magazine that came with the gun, is this supposed to happen or is there a way to fix it

[brisk zinc]

Did you disable the mod you need to disable in order to use Mags Redux?

I don't remember the name

But it's in the name of Mags Redux

[gaunt prism]

I didnt know there was something i was supposed to disable

[brisk zinc]

It's in the name of Mags Redux

Like "Mags Redux (Disable this mod)"

[gaunt prism]

Is that in the mod organizer or where can i find that?

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's in the mod organizer of course

Just look for the name of that mod between ( )

And disable it

You can use the filter on the bottom as well

[gaunt prism]

I will be sure to do that, how do i disable it, just uncheck the checkmark or what

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Just uncheck

Nothing else

[gaunt prism]

Awesome, thank you so much

[sour talon]

how do i add extra addons to base gamma?

[north turret]

what faction is this??

oh theyre just spicy bandits

[brisk zinc]

Renegade

Or just spicy bandits, yes

That's not far from the truth

[gaunt prism]

So i tried searching it in the filter, but im not seeing anything that says to disable

[brisk zinc]

Man I can't open my PC

Take a screen of Mags Redux

Or copy the name here

[graceful rover]

its reload and unjam on the same key under fixes

[graceful rover]

also, this may sound stupid, but did you add the magazine to your loadout?

[gaunt prism]

idk how to access my loadout, isnt that just the inventory?

[graceful rover]

also once you deactivated that fix, you have to reassign the keys

right click on the magazine, add to loadout

[gaunt prism]

ill have to try that once i get back n game, where can i find the mod to disable

[graceful rover]

only works if you wear armor that has magazine slots

[gaunt prism]

how do i know if it has magazine slots

[graceful rover]

check the description

but every armor has magazine slot. only if you are not wearing armor, you dont have anymagazine slots if i remember right

[gaunt prism]

ill be sure to do that once, any idea on how i can find this mod? on the left area with the checkmarks idk how to disable certain mods, its just the mags redux

[graceful rover]

its under fixes

[gaunt prism]

where tf is fixes lmao

i apologize btw, idk any of this stuff

[graceful rover]

somewhere in mod organizer, i dont have it open rn

[gaunt prism]

i am not seeing anything that says fixes on it

[graceful rover]

somewhere on the left

more i cant say

[graceful rover]

more like swamprats😂

[mental dirge]

check 207. theres a mags-disable

[rancid holly]

I keep crashing when i enter a new part of the zone but it makes an auto-save right where the entrance of the zone where I wanted to go

is there any specific reason this keeps happening? or do I have bad files?

[gaunt prism]

Also the mags are indeed in the loadout, when i reload itll just put the weapon away and pull it out again, not reloading it

also 207 is the nitpicker modpack, i still dont see anything for mags

[graceful rover]

thats because your unjam button is on the reload key

[north turret]

Sorry guys, I missed the reshade channel

[graceful rover]

thats why you have to deactivate that

and then rebind reload and unjam keys

[gaunt prism]

ohhhhhh got it, ill try that out

Wait, in the keybinds menu it says reload, unjam, pda away, how do i move the unjam key

[twin spear]

BECAAUSE YOU HAVE TO ADD IT TO UR LOADOUT

[gaunt prism]

It is added to the loadout

[graceful rover]

thats why you have to deactivate unjam and reload on the same key in mod organizer...

[twin spear]

yes

[graceful rover]

and then rebind the keys in game

[gaunt prism]

So then im back at square 1, where i cant find the "fixes" or the folder to disable that

Sorry about this guys, idk wtf im doing and ik how irritating this is

[graceful rover]

theres only 300 mods, cant be that hard to find it

maybe someone who has mo open can help you out with a screenshot

[gaunt prism]

That would be very useful, im more of a visual learner anyway, but i typed in "fixes" in the searchbar, i see a few things like a few bugfixes, but nothing that helps with mags or the change keybind

[wary edge]

is there any way to turn off the limited stashes? or at least just the base stashes

[graceful rover]

its in the category fixes i think

so you wont find it with searchbar...

[gaunt prism]

you can change categories?

[graceful rover]

you could have used key, reload, unjam....

[gaunt prism]

so i checked all 3 of the "BugsFixes" and all of them just have the bugs fixes enabled, nothing else

[graceful rover]

its not a bug

and then its probably inanother category

[graceful rover]

what you can find on mobile, amazing

[paper whale]

On the main quest mission "Tourist Safari" by Sidorovich my companion got killed by bandits at the farm. Suddenly the screen went black and I got the quest "Talk with Beard" or something like that. Half a second later the screen showed the normal game again but two psydogs were directly in front of and killing me. Is this scripted or just some unexpected buggy code ghost vodoo.

[versed tusk]

MO2 has a search bar, yes?

search for reload

if you need more arrows, let me know

untick that addon, open game, rebind keys for reload and unjam in settings > keybinds

voila

[gaunt prism]

Its weird cause i did that, and mine doesnt show up like that, maybe its a different version or something?

[versed tusk]

how many mods do you have currently

[gaunt prism]

317 active

[versed tusk]

when did you last update?

#📍577-mods-in-mo2

[gaunt prism]

Maybe 2 weeks ago

[versed tusk]

do that then first

[gaunt prism]

How do i update

Is there a video or something

[versed tusk]

open the GAMMA updater, run it as admin

Click Update GAMMA data

and then only instal addons

[gaunt prism]

I cant seem to find the updater, is it just the mod organizer? Cause i did run that as admin

[versed tusk]

no

[gaunt prism]

I might have to pull up the installer video

[versed tusk]

that thing

you literally installed gamma with it

[gaunt prism]

That is exactly what im looking for

[versed tusk]

you have 2 main folder

Anomaly 1.5.1

and GAMMA RC3

[gaunt prism]

I think i got it

[versed tusk]

in the later, you have a folder called modpack installer

I'm never sure - but maybe it's better to run a full install as there've been many updates and you might also want the newer exe installed

[gaunt prism]

The newer exe?

[versed tusk]

anomaly was updated to 1.5.2

you should not update to it, but gamma uses the new executables. done automatically on a full install

[gaunt prism]

So dont update anomaly. Just update gamma, hot it

[versed tusk]

ye

[gaunt prism]

Also i finished the "update gamma data" im onto only install addons

[versed tusk]

try if it works, but as i mentioned earlier - probably better with a full istall, so the upper button

[gaunt prism]

Still cant seem to find the mod im supposed to disable, maybe mod organizer needs an update?

[versed tusk]

you should see 325 actives

[gaunt prism]

Ive got 321

[versed tusk]

then you're missing some or have some unticked

[gaunt prism]

Magsredux, trader overhaul, trader destocifier, and the nitpicker were all unchecked, but idk what the last one is

[versed tusk]

you made those changes yourself tho

they are on by default, except mags

[gaunt prism]

Thats weird, i never disabled them

Hell idk what they even do lol

[versed tusk]

I would suggest a full install for you my friend

[gaunt prism]

So reinstall gamma?

[versed tusk]

open the installer again and this time:

[gaunt prism]

Doin it now

[versed tusk]

unless someone smarter than me has a better fix, but you seem to have a lot of stuff unticked and missing

which should not be the case unless you do it yourself

[gaunt prism]

Apparently, when i first installed it i didnt mess with it until i realized that i could be using mags and i enabled that

So now im just trying to get that to work properly

[versed tusk]

yeah its pretty straight forward

tick mags and untick reload/unjam

375 is the addon to untick

anyway, you get a few new mods now and the new exes too

doesnt hurt

[gaunt prism]

Thats what ive been trying to do, but i cant find the damn reload/unjam bull lol, so im supposed to have 325 mods straight out the gate enabled, and then i have to tick on the mags

[versed tusk]

ye

and then untick that other one 😄

in the category GAMMA Fixes

[gaunt prism]

If i can find it that is lol, and when i click on category, it just swutches the numerical order of it, thats it

[versed tusk]

sorty by prio

open the category

scroll down

375

ignore my 329 I have a custom list

[graceful rover]

pretty sure there was an update that required full install

[versed tusk]

ye i wasnt sure

[gaunt prism]

Yeah mine doesnt look like that

[versed tusk]

better safe than sorry anyway

mnake a screenshot please i wanna see that mess

[gaunt prism]

Similar, but not like that

I have to wait for this download to finish, then i can screenshot it

Which might be a whole nother can of beans lol

[graceful rover]

and after updating you have to re/deactivate everything you manually did in mod organizer

[gaunt prism]

So by clicking the full gamma installation, thats essentially just reinstalling the game correct?

Will i lose all of my progress?

[versed tusk]

no

your saves are still there

but you will have to rebind keys and set graphic settings

[gaunt prism]

Well thats minor

[versed tusk]

and even that can be avoided

!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

[north turret]

how to make artefacts?

[versed tusk]

you find them, and then melt them with the artefact melter you buy at suckarov in Yantar

and yes, wait till the install is done, we go from there

[gaunt prism]

Thank you guys for your guy's help, i really appreciate this, hopefully this fixes everything

[north turret]

Can Burrers move Radio Frequency packages with their telepathic powers?

[north turret]

install？

[versed tusk]

i did not talk to you

[carmine wyvern]

Since the Packages are actual Items in the ground I think they actually can

[brisk zinc]

Read the #│📚manual

It's also in your PDA in game

Read the entry about the Artefact Melter

[north turret]

ohh i only read Artefact

[gaunt prism]

Alright its done

[versed tusk]

drumroll how many mods do you see now?

[gaunt prism]

We got 325 baby

[versed tusk]

aight, do you see the categories and can you open GAMMA fixes now?

[gaunt prism]

Unfortunately no

[brisk zinc]

Read what Skom said to you, he explain how to use it

[distant pumice]

Hey do I say yes to this ?

[brisk zinc]

@gaunt prism what's the problem?

[north turret]

i use junk artifacts in craft? How do you combine junk artifacts with each other?

[versed tusk]

screenshot that MO2 pls

[brisk zinc]

What are you trying to do?

Deleting something?

I see the #╭📖faq thing

[distant pumice]

Want to uninstall gamma

cuz

my pc is dying

from too much gb lol

[gaunt prism]

So im trying to get the mags to work, i need to disable a mod called the reload/unjam thing

[brisk zinc]

Delete everything then

Do you plan to install it again?

[gaunt prism]

And i cant find it

[brisk zinc]

Ah yes, you're the dude from before

I remember now

[distant pumice]

Well I plan to install it again in the future, Dw I didn't delete the downloads

[brisk zinc]

You can delete everything then

[distant pumice]

Aight

[brisk zinc]

It should be okay

[versed tusk]

this should be how it comes out of the box

[gaunt prism]

And im trying to take a screenshot but its not appearing

[versed tusk]

from the looks

[brisk zinc]

!screen

[raw raft]

We can't really see the problem if you take a picture with your cellphone. If you have a problem you want to share with us, you can do the following, since we don't care about your second monitor or your desktop image:

1. Press F12 in-game, look in Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If it's not there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2. Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTLR + V to paste the pic, save it, send it
3. Windows key + Shift + S, which let you choose what part of the screen you want to copy, it will directly copy the pic for you (Snipping Tool™️ is subject to Windows own settings, not game settings, meaning gamma, brightness, and colour balance will be different.)

[versed tusk]

again ignore the 329

[brisk zinc]

That 257- is new

[gaunt prism]

thats what i got

[versed tusk]

[brisk zinc]

Hmm

@gaunt prism

Where do you have Anomaly and GAMMA?

The folders

Give me the exact path of both of them

inb4 all inside a folder

[versed tusk]

you pulled the tabs all over to the right

[brisk zinc]

Also this, yes

That's another problem

[gaunt prism]

thats how they came, idk how that happened

[mint pendant]

Hi stalkers the Game take option spanish?

[versed tusk]

on the top right you see "od na" and then it cuts off - pull that please so you see the names

next to conflicts

hahah

[brisk zinc]

I still want to know where he keeps game and GAMMA

🥸

[versed tusk]

ye sure sry

i cant

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, you're helping

That's good

[gaunt prism]

I keep it on my external hard drive in file explorer

[brisk zinc]

It's always good to have someone that help

[brisk zinc]

Yes okay, that's fine

I need to know if Anomaly is inside GAMMA

Like everything in one folder

[gaunt prism]

No, gamma is inside anomaly

[brisk zinc]

...

I swear I need to start to mute people until they prove they can read #old-how-to

[mint pendant]

Gamma take option spanish?

[brisk zinc]

You can't have Anomaly and GAMMA in one folder

[brisk zinc]

Maybe Anomaly, not GAMMA

[mint pendant]

:( thanks

[brisk zinc]

325 mods all in spanish it's impossible

[gaunt prism]

I swear i followed that video to a tee

The install video

[brisk zinc]

Then we need to understand each other better

That's why I asked you for the exact path

[gaunt prism]

maybe this will help?

[brisk zinc]

Okay that's a problem

[gaunt prism]

ok lemme hear it

[brisk zinc]

Did you watched the video in #old-how-to ?

[gaunt prism]

yes, that was the first thing i did

[brisk zinc]

Hm okay, I don't believe that video have this mistake in it but I'll watch it later just to be sure

Now, this is the problem

You have GAMMA inside your Anomaly folder

That's the problem

You need to move that "Stalker GAMMA" outside

[gaunt prism]

i do also have it outside

[brisk zinc]

So that you'll have:

Stalker Anomaly
Stalker GAMMA

[brisk zinc]

Why do you have the same thing inside Anomaly

[brisk zinc]

If you're using the one outside, then it's okay, you can just delete the one you have inside your Anomaly folder, just make sure of it before you delete everything

[gaunt prism]

thats on the outside, it was a couple weeks ago but i could have sworn it said to make a fould inside of anomaly specifically for gamma

[brisk zinc]

Believe me it's the first mistake everyone made

[gaunt prism]

ok so can i just drag the anomaly folder into the gamma folder?

but the anomaly folder also has the gamma folder

[brisk zinc]

[brisk zinc]

I just told you

That Anomaly and GAMMA can't be inside the same folder

[brisk zinc]

What you have here, is correct

Because Anomaly have a folder
And GAMMA have a folder

This is correct

This is what you need to have

[north turret]

this is all you should have in your anomaly folder

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Exactly

[north turret]

the base game with the 1.5.1 update

[gaunt prism]

ohhhhhhh got it, so i just need to remove the gamma folder from inside the anomaly folder correct?

[brisk zinc]

One folder for Anomaly
One folder for GAMMA

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Before you do that

Make sure you're not using that GAMMA

Because inside the "downloads" folder

That you can find inside your GAMMA folder

Lies all your downloaded mods

In zip format

You need to backup that folder, IF you're using that GAMMA folder

Just make sure you backup this "download" folder (if you have mods in it) and we're golden

[gaunt prism]

ok so where can i find the download folder inside of gamma

[brisk zinc]

Literally open the GAMMA folder

It's inside

[gaunt prism]

yep, im a dumbass lol

[brisk zinc]

You can share your screen if you want, I can help you vocally

[gaunt prism]

i would love to do that lol

[brisk zinc]

Come in Lobby

All done

Let's hope for the best now, it should be good

[versed tusk]

[brisk zinc]

The only problem he could have it's this one, we'll see

[north turret]

how can i find out what items can heal specific parts of my body. my head is very damaged but nothing fixes it.

ohh nevermind i found out

[versed tusk]

tooltips are your friend

[north turret]

yeah reading wasnt my first idea for some reason. my bad.

is there a way to move or walk through allies blocking doors, any mods?

[gaunt prism]

i think there might still be a problem

[versed tusk]

please move your tabs back to normal, it kills me

[gaunt prism]

how do i do that? cause i just now opened it, havent touched anything

[versed tusk]

these

you dont see mod names

just drag them

the lines ofc, not the tabs themself

the spacing is off for you, so you dont see what you wanna see

[gaunt prism]

better?

I think we may have fixed it boys

[versed tusk]

yay, mod names

now you also found the unjam/reload?

[north turret]

so how do i find that toz for hip. being that i cant buy guns at traders

[craggy scroll]

does anyone know why theres a sudden frame drop issue in truck cemetery?

[versed tusk]

it's a known issue and being investigated. No fix yet found, most likely bound to Alife AI calculations

[craggy scroll]

hmm ok

[versed tusk]

you can try and activate the stutter fix addon, but as every CPU is different it may not help

it helped a little for me but I need to do some manual tweaking still

[calm temple]

Ok, will do.

[brisk zinc]

This one

[north turret]

ahh oke

[graceful rover]

well, until you realize that you actually need to use the github version of mags redux to have ammo in mags you loot

[brisk zinc]

...not really?

!magsredux

[raw raft]

If you just updated GAMMA, you use MagsRedux and you have this in your crashlog: mag_aug_9x19_default (you probably do if you're reading this): #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

You can grab that thing you said from the old version to then pass it to the new version

But the new version is used only if you get that crash

[graceful rover]

hmm dunno about the mag, but i used the in launcher mags until yesterday and when you kill enemies, their mags are all empty, so you only get the ammo thats in their inventory. with the mags from github how it is described in the faq, enemies drop mags with ammo in it again

at least that was my experience

[brisk zinc]

Huh

[graceful rover]

we actually had that conversation yesterday in #╓☢stalker-chat

[versed tusk]

you end up with a lot more ammo unfortunately

[graceful rover]

i mean, its not like they have heaps of it in the magazines

most of the times its a few bullets in the single digit range

but it does add up

[brisk zinc]

Me and you? Impossible to remember

[graceful rover]

nah not you

with we i meant some other stalkers

[versed tusk]

it defeated the point of ammo crafting for me after an 8 hour session - so the difference is absolutely there

but I also am OCD and eject every mag and every bullet

[craggy scroll]

specific thing but the mp 153 uses army rifle repair and cleaning kits, is that on purpose or nah?

[graceful rover]

i think thats because gamma deactivates old ammo

normally 90% of that ammo would be old in my experience from anomaly with mags

you could turn that on again i think

[versed tusk]

I toned down ammo rates in mags itself, made sure CZP doesnt add any additionals and overal toned down ammo drop rate and I think I hit a good spot

[graceful rover]

oh ok

[versed tusk]

but after killing ~20 renegades i had way too much before doing so

personal preference ofc, but I dislike anything making the game easier

i do like having the ammo in mags tho - it takes longer to loot therefore is more risky, and it makes sense logically

ammo would be in the gun

[graceful rover]

i mean, i havent noticed it yet, but i guess its balanced around the whole old ammo stuff

so far ive rarely had the resources to craft ammo

[versed tusk]

when your inv gets from 40 to 60kg just in ammo... you'll notice

[graceful rover]

like, ive been on a roundtrip from rostock to cordon to swamp right now, and i found 15 hangun bullets

[loud fable]

Is it normal that artefacts and other outfit attachments display their bonuses weird on the bars on the bottom of the Inventory?

When I wear an outfit with weak protection for a stat the attachment improves the bar goes up much less than if I wear a outfit which has more protection in the stat, it makes it hard to know the true potential of artefacts and attachments. Should I ignore the bars and just look at the values of the stats?!

[graceful rover]

i mean is there any drawback when reactivating old ammo? like other than making it more difficult?

[versed tusk]

I am glad it's gone tbh - the rest is just toning to your liking

[graceful rover]

to what did you set the ammo drop rate?

[versed tusk]

not ingame rn - but i think it was set to 1 and i turned it to 0.6

cant start up rn either

this is also smth that needs prolonged testing imho - a sweet spot is hard to gause after just 8 hours

i am not fighting Mono yet - just went Yantar - Wilds - Rostock - Garbage - Cordon - GS and had way too much at 1

[narrow valve]

I've seen the aggressor reshade in the mod manager. I enabled it but I don't see it in game when I press the home button. someone got any ideas about it ?

[stoic moth]

You have to back out and search for it in the main anomaly folder

[north turret]

It's just the ground textures there. GAMMA doesn't have that reshade. Unless you'd download it from moddb.

[shut tusk]

Hello, i have question. Can i just update Gamma without any issues? like, doesn't it interfere with my save or corrupts it?

[empty coral]

what is this slot for?

[brisk zinc]

Binoculars

[brisk zinc]

Yes, no problems/issue/stuff, if you enabled optional stuff then it depends but even then it's okay

[shut tusk]

ok then ill try, thank you very much!

ngl this mod pack is insanely good btw

don't think i've had this much fun from a game in a long time

should i do a full installation? or the other one, i think i installed gamma on 27-07 butim not sure

not sure about the last announcements in #📢announcements

[brisk zinc]

!update

[raw raft]

To update your G.A.M.M.A. installation, you don't need to delete ANYTHING, please AVOID deleting something without a GOOD reason or at least ASK FIRST.

1. Open the installer with admin rights and make sure you have the newest version, which is 3.7. You can get it in #📢announcements if you don't have it, check pinned messages
2. Click Update G.A.M.M.A. data, wait for it to say "done"
3. Choose between "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation" or "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons" (if you don't know the difference: #╭📖faq message)

Most of the time, "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons" is what you need to do. You can click on "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation" if you haven't updated for a long time.

Keep in mind that Grok will **always **announce in #📢announcements if you need to do a "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation", because you don't need to do it every day.

[shut tusk]

yeah so is the time since 27-07 considered "not updated in a long time"

or are we talking about like month+

[brisk zinc]

27-07 is literally not even a week ago

Almost a week

[shut tusk]

yeah m8these mods change every day 😂 idk man im a rookie stalker

[brisk zinc]

You can simply do this

Update G.A.M.M.A. data > Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons

Grok made an update the 30-07

Like 2-3 days ago

[shut tusk]

ok thanks for the help, much appreciated!

[graceful rover]

i mean you could check updates if there was an update that repuires complete install

i mean announcements

there was one 5 days ago

[brisk zinc]

It's literally written in my thing but since he didn't read it after two times, I just went with it, "let me tell him directly"

[graceful rover]

ah sorry, was just reading up on stuff while going for a cigarette, must have missed that on mobile^^

[frigid depot]

hello, what do i have to do, when i want to install a siren mod for emissions? I just downloaded it and now i want to unpack it with 7zip. But where?

[brisk zinc]

You don't need to extract mods

Open MO2, click this, choose the mod, put it at the bottom (it should do that automatically), enable it, done

[pallid cape]

hi all, i've touched keybinds and then reset to default, but resetted other things, how to go back to grok default?

[brisk zinc]

Ciao a te fratello

[pallid cape]

ciao

[brisk zinc]

Il tuo nick era troppo italiano per non essere tu italiano

[pallid cape]

ottimo

ahah

[brisk zinc]

Allora, fai così

Apri l'installer

E clicca questo

Già che ci sei prima fai Update GAMMA data

Così ti pigli gli ultimi aggiornamenti

Se non aggiorni da tanto tempo:

!installer

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

E invece di fare quello, fai "Full GAMMA installation"

[frigid depot]

thank you!

[pallid cape]

ho installato oggi, dovrebbe essere tutto aggiornato

?

[brisk zinc]

Se hai quell'installer e hai fatto "Full GAMMA installation", sì

Sei a posto 100%

[pallid cape]

sisi

ho provato solo a fare md5 check

[brisk zinc]

Allora vai direttamente con Update GAMMA data > la seconda opzione

[brisk zinc]

!md5

[raw raft]

This function checks each mod archive to make sure everything is downloaded, installed correctly and isn't outdated on Moddb.
It CAN and WILL cause Moddb to flag you as a bot, so don't use it (or spam it) if you want to perform a Complete G.A.M.M.A installation right after doing it. It's either MD5 OR the installation.

[pallid cape]

per vedere se ripristina

[brisk zinc]

No non ripristina

[pallid cape]

ok

[brisk zinc]

Te la traduco che facciamo prima

Semplicemente controlla che le tue mod scaricate siano a posto

Se hai qualche roba scaricata male, te lo dice

Fa solo quello

[pallid cape]

su mo2?

[brisk zinc]

No nelle cartelle, se non sbaglio controlla "downloads"

[pallid cape]

ok

[brisk zinc]

Perché là dentro ci stanno tutte le mod che scarichi come zip

[pallid cape]

ah ma tu dici che l'installer controlla se hai installato male qualcosa, non io ahaha

[brisk zinc]

Eh sì

Spiego meglio

[pallid cape]

ottimo

[brisk zinc]

Tu scarichi con l'installer

L'installer magari scarica tutto ma qualcosa la perde nel tragitto

Tu non lo puoi sapere e installi tranquillo

[pallid cape]

certo

[brisk zinc]

Quella roba ti controlla le mod, se c'è qualcosa che non va te lo dice

[pallid cape]

ma 36 fps sono normali?

[brisk zinc]

No

[pallid cape]

ecco

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA è pesante, è da dirlo, ma 36 FPS sono un po' bassi

Poi dipende pure dal tuo computer

[pallid cape]

spec i7 9700k e rx 590

[brisk zinc]

Non dovrebbe fare totalmente schifo allora, no?

Non sono molto informato sulle GPU ma la CPU dovrebbe essere buona

La GPU mi sembra pure buona

[pallid cape]

beh gioco a tarkov tranquillamente sugli 80 100

[brisk zinc]

Eh ma Tarkov non è Anomaly

Sono due cose totalmente diverse (giustamente)

[pallid cape]

sisi hai ragione

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

Dai un'occhiata qua

[pallid cape]

grazie mille vedo che riesco a fare

[brisk zinc]

Spiega nel dettaglio le cose da togliere/abbassare

Personalmente ti consiglio di abbassare tantissimo l'erba

Pure a 0, mangia FPS a colazione

[pallid cape]

gentilissimo

sara quella, sta al massimo con lo slider

cribbio

[brisk zinc]

No sei un pazzo

Abbassala subito

[pallid cape]

non ho toccato nulla, come ho aperto era

[brisk zinc]

Vabè sì l'erba sta quasi al massimo

Ma nemmeno io c'arrivo a 36 FPS

[frigid depot]

okay, what if the mod is a ZIP-compromised file? It says, its not compatible or such?

[brisk zinc]

Probably a corrupted zip

[frigid depot]

its the HollywoodFX mod

[fleet tulip]

does the ai steal/take loot from boxes like these if i were to store some items in them?

[brisk zinc]

No

[fleet tulip]

oh, that's gonna be quite handy then, thank you!

[surreal moon]

I have a helmet but the ui doesnt show up maybe its a addon bc i play on directx8 but i dont know wich is

[north turret]

also, according to a loading screen tip, they are also free to use for storage; if the stash is used for a random stash, it'll just add the items
your old items will stay there alongside the new stuff

[north turret]

do you mean the helmet overlay?
it is pretty subtle normally, only visible in the corners of the screen
and there is an addon that changes them included in GAMMA, but they are a vanilla feature too

[brisk zinc]

Can confirm that it works

[valid chasm]

Hey, I've been trying to figure out why the icons for leather jackets wont show up in my game, for ANY factions. It's not really game breaking but it's been bugging the piss outta me. Any ideas on how to fix? I've already tried deleting and re-installing and verifying the pack, but its the same problem every time. Any help would be appreciated. https://i.imgur.com/HKCdAcn.jpeg

[brisk zinc]

Check the texture slider

Put it to max

[frigid depot]

hm, the siren mod doesnt work. In the mainfile i can choose between different sirens. How does the MO2 know, which i want?

[left quarry]

why nobody reacts when i kill fanatic in kordon village?

[valid chasm]

It's already at max

[graceful iron]

!texture

[raw raft]

Missing icons: #╭📖faq message

[valid chasm]

oh shid

thanks man

[glossy marlin]

Are you only able to purchase the artifact merger once?

[valid chasm]

Yea the fix it had me add to MO2 didnt work either idk wtf is up...

[graceful iron]

no, you can buy it again once the scientists restock. you can also recharge the one you have by dragging it onto artefacts you dont need

[glossy marlin]

Awesome, thanks.

[rancid holly]

when I enter A new area it makes an autosave and just crashes

and I dont know how to fix it...

[shell geyser]

Hi, How to remove the green houses icons from the pda ? Thx

[versed tusk]

post your log in #old-bugs

!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.

[north turret]

Turn off fast traveling in gameplay settings.

[burnt edge]

hello everyone, I need help. In my MO2 there are 325 active addons but in the gunplay addons one of the addons BAS ecopes extravaganza 2D shader-based scopes patch - Kuez has a flag with x with red background. What do I do?

[left quarry]

is it possible to run gamma without stuttering? i get that there is a framerate optimisation section but its meant for maximum performance. i have a powerful system (12700k + rx 6800) and just need some finetuning, not turning off everything that gamma offers. the fps is good(100+) but the constant stuttering is annoying. so far i tried to disable core 0 but it didn't get better

[surreal moon]

I got the same issues

[versed tusk]

these stutters are being investigated - assumedly stemming from Alife AI calculations. the issue there is, each CPU will handle that differently so a broad fix-it-all is hard to achieve

However - in MO2 there is a "Fix stutter" addon you can try to activate

[brisk zinc]

Nothing, don't worry about it, it's a known problem, Grok need to fix it

[versed tusk]

that addon helped me a bit on a 6700k albeit not perfect

[tribal iris]

yo! I'm doing the quest where I'm hunting down anomaly samples for scientiest. Currently doing the one in Red Forest, but I'm not getting a quest marker for the stalker pda in the tunnel next to limansk bridge. Where the hell is it? been searching for 20min now.

[empty coral]

what's the difference between recoil and accuracy?

[versed tusk]

not knowing how exactly this is done in XRay - I'd say recoil is the horizontal and vertical movement/deviation of the barrel after each shot, accuracy is how much a bullet will deviate along it's path to the center of your aimpoint

[hearty cave]

the artefact hunter questline is quite bugged. Often the quest marker points to wrong place or the artefact is spawned in inaccessible place. Just cheat to get them.

[empty coral]

thanks!

[versed tusk]

hope that made sense

[tribal iris]

Alright thanks, will do.

[burnt edge]

what will happen if I disable it?

[pliant garnet]

no need to disable it , i think just re install checking the 2d scopes option

[burnt edge]

I did the reinstall but it's the same result

[pliant garnet]

mm I don't know what to suggest I'm sorry . The re install seems to have worked for me and I no longer have the red cross.

[left quarry]

cant get the core 0 with mo.ini to work. if i start it through mo2 the game just wont start, nothing happens

[north turret]

Hi!, It seems my character is unable to load mags into guns. I press the key, he makes a movement but nothing happens. I can load a shotgun but not mags. I noticed that unjam and reload is on the same key. How come i can't reload?

[stable stag]

Disable G.A.M.M.A Unjam Reload on the same key

[stable stag]

Did you try the troubleshooting section of the guide?

[left quarry]

yes

[solid coyote]

hello! I'm new to stalker anomaly gamma. I have something weird going on. my health is slowly draining, but i'm not irradiated. I don't even carry that irradiated bread.

[graceful iron]

are your limbs and body parts damaged? are you standing near anomalies? are you hungry or thirsty ?

[solid coyote]

I think my limbs are okay. the dots are all blue (head, torso, arm, and legs). I'm not hungry ot thirsty. I'm inside rookie village.

[graceful iron]

did you check your hunger and thirst bars in the inventory ?

[solid coyote]

the hunger has 5 bars, the thirst has two

[graceful iron]

you toggled HUD? try toggling it back with numpad enter

at 2 bars of thirst you start losing health

you should get icons for them next to the body health UI

[solid coyote]

thank you! after i drink, it stops. But, is it normal for the hud to change colors? sometime, it changes to red, then black, yellow, etc? the body health hud at the bottom left screen?

[graceful iron]

which part of it?

it shouldnt change colors, but icons for hunger and thirst have different colors depending on severity

[surreal moon]

yo i think i have a bug

[graceful iron]

limbs have different health bar colors to tell about first aid and post heal

[surreal moon]

bc mask overlay doesnt show up

only breathing fog

[graceful iron]

breathing fog and mask overlay are not enabled in default gamma

[surreal moon]

i got an ssp99 screen helmet if that helps

[graceful iron]

you need to enable them yourself

[surreal moon]

but i enable all of them

[graceful iron]

not in the settings, for mask overlays there are some instructions to enable them

[surreal moon]

oh really? where can i find them

[charred oak]

What direct x version are you on?

[surreal moon]

8

[charred oak]

I don't seem to get overlays on 8

And nvg also won't work on 8

[surreal moon]

ik

[graceful iron]

!dx8

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

you need to follow that to get nvgs in dx8

but idk about overlays

[surreal moon]

that doesnt work to me

[surreal moon]

[charred oak]

Dx9 you get overlays

[graceful iron]

DX9 doesnt work with gamma

only 8, 10 and 11

you can try running 10 with some of the instructions in #old-framerate-optimisation to help with fps

[solid coyote]

like this, and it has this vertical rectangle

sometime it changes to black, red, etc

[graceful iron]

no, thats not normal

[surreal moon]

bruh thats stamina bar

[solid coyote]

it changes color depending where i point my crosshair

[graceful iron]

using the default gamma pack? no changes to configs or extra/disabled addons?

[solid coyote]

i haven't touched anything. after i downloaded gamma, i open mo2 and play
