try deleting the shader cache

!cache

[raw raft]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[solid coyote]

will do

I deleted the shader cache, but when I open and play the game again, it still changes color

[boreal jewel]

Is it only ammo selection that utilizes a wheel menu, or is there something similar for other inventory items, favourites, equipped items, etc?

[solid coyote]

Wait, I did tinker a bit with the G.A.M.M.A Reshade. Is it possible that the HUD changes color because of that?

[graceful iron]

could be

[graceful iron]

only ammo and companions

[solid coyote]

I turned off all the effect from the Reshade, now the HUD is gone

[graceful iron]

make sure to delete shaders cache when making changes to reshade

[vast vigil]

ok im now on moderate ranking with loners aka 1000 rep and sid still wont sell me a gas mask . am i doin something wrong or is this a bug

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you cant buy or sell armors, weapons and helmets

[vast vigil]

damn

[paper arrow]

is there a way i could enable traders to sell armors and suits but not weapons?

like maybe only after a certain supply level?

i mean, other faction members got theirs somehow

[south jungle]

Hm. Is GAMMA content safe from copyright bullshit on youtube?

[mild trout]

i think so yeah

i see people all the time recording playthroughs

[carmine wyvern]

all copyright songs have been removed recently

i.e. Metallica, Scorpions etc

[mild trout]

now that i think about it

is the Bar safe

[south jungle]

rp ern streamed it this weekend and got a bunch of claims

[carmine wyvern]

or Skadovsk for that matter

[south jungle]

Fresh up-to-date install as well from what I know

So uh, bar and skadovsk are safe or not? Didn't quite understand.

[carmine wyvern]

yeah

there a radio in both which plays music from the Zone Radio

[south jungle]

Guess he'll need to appeal and appeal...

[boreal jewel]

How do I pick up my sleeping bag again if I've put it down somewhere that doesn't allow me to sleep?

[pulsar jay]

will older mods (that are no longer part of GAMMA) be kept in my GAMMA downloads when I do an update and full installation or will they be automatically deleted? or do I have to manually delete them to save space ?

[pallid robin]

How do these tracking devices quest work ? I found and killed the mutant but theres nothing to interact with, didnt get it when i skinned it either.

[brisk zinc]

You have to manually delete the old ones/duplicates/whatever isn't in GAMMA anymore

The installer is good but not that good
Or rather, it's automatic but not that automatic

[mild trout]

can you one hand an UMP 45?

[paper arrow]

can i get my relation with freedom up without pissing off their enemies?
dont want to keep having to run back to the swamp for nato ammo ;-;

[pulsar jay]

sure, bring em artefacts for missions or clear mutant nests etc. do fetch quests for unimportant NPCs

[paper arrow]

thats not going to piss of dooty?

[pulsar jay]

lol why would it ? the system dont work like this

[paper arrow]

cause i did one task for a mercenary and got a everyone disliked that message

[pulsar jay]

if you are Loner or some neutral to both factions, you can build great relations with both

[graceful iron]

what faction are you?

[paper arrow]

CS

[graceful iron]

oh

you can do missions for duty from time to time to recover the lost goodwill

the loss of goodwill isnt high, its easy to recover from it with 1-3 quests

[graceful iron]

unlike loners, clear sky lose goodwill with freedom or duty when doing quests for one of them

[paper arrow]

ok thanks

[pulsar jay]

lol, didnt know that

[graceful iron]

loners have immunity to that probably because they are the starting faction and because its lore accurate i think

[pulsar jay]

yes I understand lore perspective on this, Clear Sky thing

[paper arrow]

wait so it takes 3 tasks to recover from doing one task for the enemy?

[graceful iron]

i dont know the exact lost goodwill, but its really low, about 5-10. while doing quests for main characters gives 50 goodwill and doing quests for random characters gives 20 (i think? never checked exactly)

i would say just do quests for a few days for freedom and do 1 or 2 for duty every few days. you dont even have to keep their goodwill high unless you want their supply level for ammo and others

the game stops your goodwill with them from going down once it hits 0, so they will never turn hostile

[hushed verge]

What is the easiest way to repair armours now? I had never done it before in previous versions so im kindof confused

[versed tusk]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[paper arrow]

oh so doesnt matter how many tasks i do for freedom, duty isnt going to turn hostile?

(obviously unless those tasks include assassinating duty members)

[graceful iron]

yes

[tawdry thunder]

Are the mods in the Gamma deactivated list ok to turn on or will it cause trouble?

[graceful iron]

!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.

[tawdry thunder]

ah

Thank you

[stuck sun]

Why is it always raining?

[finite wharf]

You might need to sleep, sometimes it doesnt shift over and time is wonky

Anyone to turn an Ironman game into a normal one?

*Anyway

[pulsar jay]

so I fully restored Karabiner 98 Kurz and finally the nostalgia of old Call of Duty got to me, but I can't seem to find a scope at any trader, does anybody know where to find scope for this rifle? if it'll require me to go to Reactor 4, so be it

[brisk zinc]

Nope

[patent badge]

is there a reason the binocs 1st upgrade looks so bad?

[brisk zinc]

Don't use binocs, they're buggy

[patent badge]

ahhh too bad, ok thanks

[brisk zinc]

It's already a miracle you manage to upgrade that one

[patent badge]

😆

[brisk zinc]

• you can't "go back", as in, when you upgrade the last thing, you can't "switch", you're stuck with what you get

But again, not worth it

They can crash your game very easily

[honest tendon]

much appreciated

[patent badge]

I suppose like vanilla anomaly you can't get goodwill with enemy factions like mercs or military if you are a loner

[paper arrow]

is there some sort of resource that i can use to see what artifacts are found where?

like in x anomaly but only above garbage/army warehouse etc

[minor star]

You can get goodwill with enemy factions if you use a disguise and then do jobs for them

[calm temple]

I am trying to find the mod that allows stashes to have unlimited space but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what it is?

[brisk zinc]

You still didn't manage to find it?

Come on man it's not that hard

[calm temple]

No, I went looking under the optional tabs

And I am scared to start ticking off and on mods without knowing if it will cause a hard crash

[brisk zinc]

Here

Wasn't that hard

[calm temple]

Ah! Thank you!

Listen. I have a chronic condition.

Its called "Stupid."

[brisk zinc]

I get that but come on

[calm temple]

I will admit, I should have looked under fixes but I assumed fixes would have govern more "If your having issues, tick this" kinda of mods. Though in hind sight, it both A. makes sense

and B. opening, closing and then re-opening the stash tab to see if I missed anything like the fridge was not the best move.

[topaz yoke]

What's the default relations for renegades? It's not on the pda menu.

Nevermind, doesn't matter anymore

[split wigeon]

Blackjack ui is bugged.. Anyone knows how to fix this?

[empty coral]

how to you break the boards in gamma? I tried melee them but it did not work

[fiery blade]

Are these mods supposed to be here and disabled?
Thanks.

[north turret]

wait

THERES USABLE CARS IN THIS MOD?

[ancient pulsar]

do i turn this one?

or just the gamma fix?

[empty coral]

is there a bug with DNPCAV that prevents the npc to put on a better armor that you gave them?

[willow hawk]

I never tested it deeply enough

[north turret]

how do i find the keybind for the free look

[boreal jewel]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[fallen elbow]

So I went afk during emission in Rostok came back and my guy in a tree outside of playable area?!

[graceful rover]

ill tell you what i know if you tell me where you got that kar98

[rancid fern]

hey anyone knowing how this addon is called in gamma that adds weapon smoke when firing ?

hello

[pulsar jay]

well the only way to get weapons in this game is from fallen stalkers, so I got it from one of those, lol yesterday I got a vintorez with functional barrel, bolt and trigger from a military guy in Agroprom 😄

mostly bandits carry older weapons so try to go to places where there are bandits > cordon, garbage, Dark Valley

[graceful rover]

which faction though

like, i havent encountered anyone fielding that weapon

[pulsar jay]

I edited the message

[graceful rover]

and ive been slaugthering bandits left and right

[pulsar jay]

volumetric smoke

[pulsar jay]

its numbers game bro, there are tons of weapons in the game

[graceful rover]

im pretty sure i saw a zf at the farm

got loners rep 4

so you might wanna try that trader

[pulsar jay]

WHAT FARM

[graceful rover]

cordon

[pulsar jay]

https://tenor.com/view/sheldon-cooper-bbt-sleep-i-dont-need-sleep-gif-5115394

[graceful rover]

the loner trader there

[pulsar jay]

Sidorovich or up north?

[graceful rover]

i am playing without trader overhaul btw.

yeah

[pulsar jay]

I already have 2000+ rep for loners so I can try

[boreal jewel]

What's the best way to process all of the damaged weapons I don't want to repair/keep? I haven't found a way to disassemble them yet, only field strip. What should I be looking for?

[pulsar jay]

I only looked at Duty trader in Rostok

he didnt have it

[graceful rover]

but i guess that also gonna be a numbers game

[pulsar jay]

universal tool, you can disassemble anything with it

[boreal jewel]

And where/how do I get that?

[pulsar jay]

if u have basic tools, you can craft it, otherwise you can buy it at almost any trader

and always have sharpening kits in inventory also so you can repair it on the go

[boreal jewel]

Is this the 'Multitool' you're talking about?

[velvet monolith]

Yup, all mechanics sell it. Like Xenotech in Cordon.

[boreal jewel]

Gotcha, saw he had that but didn't have enough to buy it. How do I get Basic Tools? Are they a random stash drop?

[velvet monolith]

Yup, but they have a higher spawning chance in "green icon" stashes

[boreal jewel]

Unrelated, are Tasks time critical? I keep seeing some of my fetch/escort tasks that I haven't got around to marked as Failed. I assumed I could just accept a load of Tasks and do them whenever I felt like it.

Haven't seen any green stashes yet, only three white ones in areas that tried to kill me (Garbage, Dark Valley)

[pulsar jay]

in green stash, there is always a toolkit, a random one, in white one, there can be a toolkit but its not 100%

[pulsar jay]

a guy you were supposed to deliver a package to has died or a person who gave you the quest died, makes sense right? Zone is live!

[velvet monolith]

Escort tasks are for sure.

[velvet monolith]

Be patient. You can receive stashes coordinates as a mission reward, or from a dead stalker's PDA. Sooner or later you'll find it.

[pulsar jay]

you can also buy info about stashes at most traders for 6,500 RU

[graceful rover]

Uhh, so im currently trying out the disguise system and i am disguised as an eco. is it normal that the military doesnt even get sus?

is that because im disguised as a different faction thats neutral to them?

[pulsar jay]

yup, disguising as ECO is kinda cheesing the game 😄 coz they are friendly to most factions

[lean pumice]

Guys, Best Alife.ltx settings for stutters and performance?

[woven kite]

hey i need help how to disable the aggressor shader mod

just download gamma today

its crashing when i start a game might be my low spec pc

[graceful rover]

but normally people get sus of you, right? i didnt eve get the === signs

like i definitely got that when i accidentally ran into the yantar eco bunker with a bandit patch on my armor

[woven kite]

hey some help me

[versed tusk]

aggressor isnt even ON

#old-framerate-optimisation

try that

[woven kite]

i did that and its written that diable agressor

[versed tusk]

there is no such thing - every CPU will handle this differently so its more a trial and error

have you tried the "stutter" addon?

[lean pumice]

Yes but I don't know if it really does something, my cpu is I9 10900k

[versed tusk]

and have you checked if aggressor is on in MO2? because it is OFF by default

[versed tusk]

try it, otherwise you never know

[median bolt]

does the armor exchange work

[oak vine]

in EFP theres this mod that changes the stamina sistem so you lose more stamina when running uphill. which mod is that and can i integrate that into gamma?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[north turret]

Is there a way to change the scopes in this mod pack? Everytime i use one my games suffers like -20-30 fps

[median bolt]

Then how does one do it i having problems @brisk zinc

[hearty cave]

You can only exchange some specific armor, not all.

[south jungle]

so is the Last Dawn questline deactivated or not?

I recall it having been deactivated at some point, but then I see the quest rewards being rebalanced in #📎to-do

[north turret]

Currently doing it right now with the latest updates.

So it works fine.

[pulsar jay]

disable shaders for scopes, more in #old-framerate-optimisation

---

I have a question, if I fully fix and clean weapon and give it to companion, will it degrade over time or not? Or does condition of weapons and armor I give to my companions even matter?

Also, can they utilize more weapons for various situations? Like if I give him a shotgun and an assault rifle, will they use it in proper situations?

[brisk zinc]

Yes it will degrade
Only the gun condition matter, if you really want to spend money/items for them, parts condition is a thing that only matter for you

Yes they can use more guns for various situations but the golden rule is always to not rely on companions

[pulsar jay]

will they also use a suit (and a helmet) I give em? I know it wont visually affect them

but stats-vise?

[primal star]

Hello, does anyone know if anomalies get stronger the further north you go? e.g. do the same electro anomaly in great swamps for example do less electrical damage than that of red forest electrical anomalies?

Have a read

[patent badge]

So I learned yesterday that if you disguise yourself you can do tasks for an enemy faction. But if I'm a loner, disguised as CS, doing tasks for Mercs, will I eventually befriend them? Or as soon as I take the patch off, even with max rep they'll shoot me?

[pulsar jay]

what is this?

should I be concerned?

and this is integrated in GAMMA?

Ive got fairly good fps just micro stuttering and such is bugging me, i am in Rostok though ill try turning more things off

[hoary umbra]

Question about ALife when in Freeplay with ZCP. Do Stalkers move between the maps and occupie campfires? Is there a possibility for a Stalker squad to spawn at Cordon and fight their way to, lets say, Jupiter or Pripjat?

[minor star]

Yes, NPCs have their own things and move around the map a lot

Entirely possible to see a stalker on the Cordon and meeting them later up on any of the northern areas

[hoary umbra]

So basically, since I already asked about LIVING ZONE in GAMMA, Vanilla is already doing the same thing. Thanks

[hearty cave]

Apparently every NPC has psy helmet lol

[north turret]

what should i do about this?

[paper stump]

he says here you go but gives me nothing (I don't actually remember if I had him repair something) so is this a bug?

[empty coral]

where can I find this POW

[graceful iron]

he will be anywhere around the dead city, could even be on guard post on top of one of the destroyed buildings

his name is psoglav

[empty coral]

welp he was killed by a pseudo dog before I even knew it

[graceful iron]

he is supposed to be much tougher than normal npcs

at least he wasnt deleted by gnes thats fixed now

[fleet tulip]

what does "delete shader cache" do? also i heard that it doesn't work through the anomaly launcher and you need to do it manually by deleting its folder somewhere (idk where but i'd assume in the anomaly folder obviously)

[tidal raft]

Don't use the launcher.

!cache

[raw raft]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[fleet tulip]

oh, i see, thanks again! Btw wouldn't this mean I'd have to manually delete it everytime I launch the game?

[tidal raft]

No, you don't.
Only if you have made any changes to existing shaders.

[fleet tulip]

Ah I see, and the shaders you can access by pressing f10 or the home button, correct?

[tidal raft]

Excluding Reshade.

[fleet tulip]

Or is that reshade that I'm speaking of? (Which is exluded as you said so it doesn't matter)

[tidal raft]

Reshade are like filters you add on top of your game screen. Doesn't actually store anything in the cache.

[fleet tulip]

Interesting, but it does take a toll on FPS right? (the reshade)

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[fleet tulip]

I see, thank you very much for the help

[tidal raft]

You're welcome.

[fleet tulip]

Unfortunately I have come back once again, how do I stop from having spooky water like this?

Nevermind! I think I've found the solution posted by Gork answering to another fella that has the same issue.
#🔨base-gamma-support message

EDIT: Nevermind.. I can't even reinstall Screen Space Shader addon because of the very same message that the same fella got as well.
#🔨base-gamma-support message

It looks all rainbow-pixelated-ish and weird, I tried turning off soft water but to no avail

The closer I come to it, the weirder it gets, flashy white dots that appear and disappear really fast, kinda like snow in TV

(It's hard to see in both images, but in my screen it's pretty bad)

I followed the guide in #╭📖faq btw to help a bit with FPS and what not

Also in #╭📖faq it says to disable all shaders except for contact correction & performance mode, how do I exactly do that?.. Did I do this right? It says reshades not shaders but I can't figure out where shaders are (Yes I'm this stupid )

[plucky tiger]

noticed an updated got pushed today that changes ZCP version; should I not update if I want to keep my existing save?

[north turret]

Everything will be alright with the current save. You can update. Population will take effect after a few in game days.

@pulsar jay
Freedom Trader Army Warehouses

already found yours?

[topaz yoke]

Does base anomaly or even gamma itself have a way to split certain amounts of something from a stack?

[north turret]

Yes, right-click and "seperate"

[topaz yoke]

Found it, but not what I needed, no such thing for bullets?

[deft glen]

Is there a way (like an item to take or something) to minimize the blur/dizzy effect after getting shot?

[north turret]

I don't know. Maybe try to separate in your inventory window and not in the trade window? If not then it doesn't work for ammo.

[topaz yoke]

Unfortunate

[north turret]

I'm not quite sure but there are two injectors that add resistance to getting shot. Not sure if they help with the blur/dizziness effects though. Never noticed 😅

[tidal raft]

Only for 'dot stacking'-consumables. Not for anything else like ammunition or spare parts.

Even with the Separate-function it only works for one item at a time.

[charred oak]

Anyway to move your character past impassable terrain? Trying to get this drug runner mission but the box is past stair terrain.

is there supposed to be a bunch of freedom guys guarding the barrier? cause i just went there and its absolutely deserted

[boreal jewel]

Is there some reason I'm missing that I frequently go from 2/3 health when I open my inventory or start a dialogue, to dropping dead when I exit the menu with a message saying critical torso wound? This happens in safe locations, so I'm not being sniped or anything like that. No rads, not hungry or thirsty.

is your torso hp low..?

[vernal wharf]

Is there a way to fix the Fast Travel CD? Its my only save that has it broken

were i can adjust the shader based scopes in the gamma install?

because i have massive performance loss and this didnt happen to me with my custom install of anomaly+mods+SBS

change the 'start date' in your alife.ltx file to whatever it is minus 4 days (it's in the 'GAMMA Alife optimization' mod or the 'Turn on if you stutter' mod, whichever one that you use)

[twilit iris]

There a way to reduce/revert the insane amount of psy damage the ghosts do ?

I can't do shit in X-16 thanks to it

[stuck sun]

I think most medics sell a pill that increases psy resist

Can't remember what its called

[twilit iris]

It's not enough

Etperazine and Psyblock aren't enough for the sheer amount of shit that's been thrown at my face

Since when do SNORKS do spectral projections anyway

[stuck sun]

Typically they don't but there's a mod that makes phantoms at low psy health

[twilit iris]

I was full

[stuck sun]

Other factors. Like brain scorcher does the same thing

[twilit iris]

I'm at the miracle machine

[stuck sun]

wait

yes miracle machine

[twilit iris]

Ok that explains the source but that doesn't answer my question

[clear helm]

How can I remove the stash size limit? I like to horde and 70 ain’t enough

[stuck sun]

There's 2 solutions, save up and buy the toppest psy protection gear you can and pop psy block. Stack that shit

Or shoot the ghosts

[cunning adder]

Does this mod add any new story content?

[twilit iris]

That's the mod you wanna tick

[clear helm]

Awesome thank you!

[brisk zinc]

It's Anomaly vanilla

[cunning adder]

Got it, thanks

[twilit iris]

Right

Well, I appreciate your advice.

[brisk zinc]

Grok did something to ghosts 100%

[stuck sun]

Any advice for me? I want to know why merc camp in wild territory is more irradiated than NPP

[brisk zinc]

So I guess the real solution here is to shot them

[twilit iris]

Too many at the same time

[brisk zinc]

Probably some random patch

[stuck sun]

Shite

[twilit iris]

I couldn't handle it and just toggled on godmode to get down the four ladders

I managed to get through the rest of the lab fine

Without godmode

[brisk zinc]

This is something for #old-feedback-suggestions

Put in there your outfit and all that

Maybe it really is too "hard"

Because I'm pretty sure Grok buffed them

[twilit iris]

Ok to be fair I don't have the greatest psy res

Thought psy-block would be enough

[brisk zinc]

You can try with the best psy res at this point

If even that is too much, we have a problem

If it isn't, skill issue

[twilit iris]

I guess so

[stuck sun]

Curious what your psy res was at

[twilit iris]

Not great, that's all you need to know

[stuck sun]

3 lines?

[graceful iron]

even less than half psy res can keep you alive for really long against the phantoms

its not really that bad

[stuck sun]

1/4 the bar can make them a non issue

[twilit iris]

Yeah I'll try again when I have appropriate armour for the place

Reverting to before I attempted to take on x-16

[graceful iron]

if you must

and you can probably tweak the damage? i am not sure

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron since I have you here

Any way to disable BHS?

Or is it too "deep" to disable it?

Like BaS that is basically impossible to remove

[graceful iron]

disable these 2

[brisk zinc]

Ah that's easy

Thank you

is this how?

no but seriously i feel like my RF receiver doesnt work. It says to listen to a specific frequency and search the south western sector of darkscape but im not getting any beeps

[brisk zinc]

You need to look better

South western is generic, check there, sooner or later you'll start to hear beeps

[north turret]

Does the RF work in vehicles?

[stuck sun]

Do an opening spiral search, eventually you'll hear the beeps. The mod makes it much better compared to vanilla

[brisk zinc]

Try it and let us know

[north turret]

I hear the static but im not sure if it detects in a vehicle.

[stuck sun]

Easy thing to test. Get out of the vehicle and find it the normal way. Once the beeping is super noticeable. get back in the car and drive to where you heard the beeps and listen again

[vernal wharf]

Didn't work, in fact, the cd became +600 hours lol

[mystic oar]

change it to 10/10 and see what happens

that's what i have to set mine to after every update

[vernal wharf]

You are a 10/10 because that worked, i love you

[mystic oar]

[twilit iris]

What's the default GBOOBS setup when you're NOT using hd models ?

Standard install options ?

[lyric flax]

anyone else get stuck on the splash screen when trying to do the 0 core fix recently? I made sure the path to the exe was correct.

[brisk zinc]

I've "reworked" the guide a little bit since I had to do it again some days ago and it didn't worked for me, this is what I've changed:
E:**/Anomaly-1.5.1/bin/**AnomalyDX11AVX.exe

Basically, from \ to /, because I couldn't get it started

This is how it looks like after I start GAMMA (it works now):

11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity 0000000000000FFE E:/\"Anomaly-1.5.1\"/bin/AnomalyDX11AVX.exe
11\binary=C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe
11\hide=false
11\ownicon=false
11\steamAppID=
11\title=STALKER GAMMA DX11AVX
11\toolbar=false
11\workingDirectory=

Since that didn't work either, I tried this:

Click on it

Modify the last one

Add "" to Anomaly, like I did

Did you try anything in the troubleshooting?

It's after the guide for the 0 core

!troublecore

[raw raft]

Troubleshooting for 0 core: #╭📖faq message

[north turret]

Uhh okay so I just found out that the setting to have the RF receiver still be in use while holstered is a meme setting.

It just blasts static but doesnt beep.

However im about to test the vehicle

the beeping does work in vehicles.

[stoic moth]

Did you set it to the correct channel?

[north turret]

yeah i was responding to my earlier question

[halcyon plover]

hey, my fov keeps getting smaller after i load, any idea why?

[cunning adder]

Any way to turn stashes having loot back on?

Not interested in finding the PDA for all them

[lament spruce]

im at a monolith base in pripyat, killed them all with my companions but i can't find a way to their sniper nest, is it inaccessible? also is there a way to open room 26 without using a key? i dont have the stomach to kill the old man

[feral mirage]

Hello where can I find level 3 tools. I already have 60k reputation and still haven't found the tools for level 3

[lament spruce]

what tools? like advance/expert tools?

[feral mirage]

expert tools

[lament spruce]

expert tools is very rare to find, i think if you do some high reward quest you will get one or if you tweak ZCP to have higher chances to find tools you will find one.

[graceful rover]

do you know a quest that rewards expert tools?

[carmine wyvern]

Not a guaranteed way

Expert can spawn in stashes at or north of Red Forest

[lament spruce]

no, i don't do side quest often

i forgot, sometimes you can get tools in secret stashes(green secret stashes have higher chances i guess)

[hoary umbra]

How does the setting Dynamic Faction Relations work in Freeplay? As a Loner if I wipe the whole Rostok base, would they declare war like in Warfare or is the game just rolling a dice after a certain time?

[carmine wyvern]

If you kill Faction x enough time they declare a seize fire

If you break it its war again

Also while seize fire you can do Quests for them and up their rep

So you can become friends/allied

[north turret]

how can i change the weight of stashes?

[north turret]

ty!

[amber scarab]

How come the beta Companion Rework is in the GAMMA Disabled section of the mod organizer??

Just because it's still a work in progress?

[magic walrus]

Hey, says this addon hasnt got valid data, any tips on fixing this or is this normal? Just installed Gamma.

[brisk zinc]

It's okay, don't worry

[magic walrus]

Thanks @brisk zinc

Hey, could you tell me, is there a way to get this kind of UI for inventory in?

Is it already in the mod pack or?

[brisk zinc]

It's also a known problem, it will be fixed soon

[brisk zinc]

No it isn't inside the mod pack, I don't know what UI is that

[magic walrus]

Okey

Thanks 🙂

Also, just cannot find "CHeck Ammo" button, is there any?

Won't be bothering you anymore, last question 🙂

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, this is the channel for questions, it's fine

[brisk zinc]

Are you using Mags Redux?

[magic walrus]

Well, all I'm using is Gamma pack.

Just installed it, entered it, works great.

So haven't added anything myself.

[brisk zinc]

Okay, I asked because it's a consequence of enabling that mod

To answer your question no, there isn't a "check ammo" button
You can have that button if you want to enable that mod

There is a "check weapon" that play an animation for it (if the gun have an animation)

[magic walrus]

So the mod is in, just gotta activate it?

Aha, I see it, in optional.

Will activate it, thank you @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's optional

You also need to disable another mod

[magic walrus]

Yeah, noticed, whats Gamma unjam reload?

What do I loose with it?

If I deactivate that addon?

[brisk zinc]

Basically you can't unjam your weapon using R

[magic walrus]

Hmm... kind of a lose that I dont want to loose xD

No way in having both, MagsRedux and Gamma unjam?

[brisk zinc]

Nope, of course

You can still unjam your weapon (if I'm not wrong)

But (obviously) you can't use the same key

[magic walrus]

Aha, thanks Falco

Also, by disabling Gamma unjam button, what is the other default button for unjaming?

[tidal raft]

Check keybind settings in-game.

Should be Z.

[strange python]

IS there a trick to putting armor and outfits into a stash? I can seem to move them from my inv. I can drop them though

[brisk zinc]

Enable this

Your stash is probably full

[strange python]

Yes. Yes it would be full lol

Thanks Falco

[magic walrus]

Just insterted that jellyfish into that container, tryed opening it and the game crashed?

Any tips?

[rose lake]

Privet stalker, I have some crash when I use a Sleeping bag , any issue ?

[north turret]

upload the log

[rose lake]

Ok that work 1/4 times. I go to work I back soon, if that start again I check the log and I post here

Screen crash in invetory

[opaque glen]

anyone knows how to disable save limit?

[halcyon plover]

are you playing on ironman? or are you talking about campfires? if it's the campfires you press esc and go into the mod config, look for YACS, and turn it off

also, anyone else
having their fov shrink when they load a save?
not reset, actually shrink, mine has went all the way to 20 before i realized

[sleek delta]

So I am doing the "recover tracking device" and I'm at the spot but there's nothing, no mutant, no tracking device, nothing, is this bugged?

[boreal jewel]

I have just been to my fourth stash, deep into Dark Valley, spent ages running around a group of three huge boulders and a tree, was able to low crawl under the middle of the rocks, nothing. Couldn't find it anywhere. Was stood literally right on the stash icon on the PDA map. So right clicked and fast travelled to the container. It was on top of the huge boulder, hidden in the tree branches. Zero chance of climbing the rocks (I tried). How are you supposed to reach stuff like that? Do the ropes have a function here?

Incidentally, four stashes in, zero toolkits :/

All four stashes have had very little content, no weapons, one armor piece.

Am I just unlucky...

[brisk zinc]

!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.

[brisk zinc]

Send crash log^

[brisk zinc]

What FeverDreamed said

[brisk zinc]

Can you be more specific? Send a screen of this quest, Clear Sky?

[opaque glen]

thanks mate worked

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

You need to jump on it, most probably

[boreal jewel]

I tried for ten minutes from every angle, couldn't do it. Must just need to git gud. All four stashes have been white, and I guess I may be in wrong place then. I have one Gunsmith toolkit that I think I looted off a corpse that the Tourists shot for me. No basic toolkits after 14 hours of playing so can't craft or repair anything. I understand the progression arguments, but this is getting rather frustrating.

[sleek delta]

This is Professor's Sakharov's quest

[brisk zinc]

Bad RNG, that's all

[brisk zinc]

Probably bugged

Especially if you don't see the mutant at all on the map

Because you can see it

[cosmic ginkgo]

quick question i killed all the enemies, and now the clear sky faction patrouls here, after that i was tired and sleped, but now the quest is not finished?

[sleek delta]

can I do something about it?

[brisk zinc]

You can try to reload your save

I usually avoid those quests because they can end up being bugged

Or if I get one, I try to do that right away

[gentle nimbus]

any way to adjust shader based scopes quality?, cuz i'm having massive fps and this didnt happen to me when i was on my custom anomaly install with SBS

[cosmic ginkgo]

can somebody tell me what to do?

[north turret]

How do I enable the FPS counter?

[versed tusk]

press pos1, top of the reshade is options, all the way down is a tickbox

[brisk zinc]

Try to reload a save, it could be bugged

[shy snow]

Ive a question about repairing found guns (Ive read the entire GAMMA manual so I know how repairing works)
Am I just doomed to continue to disassemble weapons in order to find parts that are >60% or better so I can then fix them up with Files and Ramrods?
Theres no way to fix up a part from 10% of let's say a gas tube or a hammer mechanism?

[brisk zinc]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[shy snow]

Thats the same guide that appears in the PDA no?

My question is this part, if its below 60% then its just junk? There's no saving it? https://puu.sh/JemD7/bd84ca3b44.png

[versed tusk]

you can spend a charge of one of the expensive kits for a repair on a part, if you are rly pressed for it

right click gun, maintain parts

[shy snow]

It would spend a whole charge of the entire rifle kit just to clean a gas lock then? Ugh okay, thats a bit frustrating. Ive disassembled 14 guns and none of them had the single part I needed at 60% or more, but that answers my question I guess.

[stoic moth]

That's how it be sometimes

[subtle salmon]

hey guys, so I already have anomaly with mods installed, if i use gamma, will that start its own version of anomaly? or should i uninstall my other mods

I have JGSME so i can just move them

[brisk zinc]

You need to use a clean Anomaly for GAMMA since it uses MO2

I guess your already existent Anomaly with JGSME is fine but you can't use that

[subtle salmon]

so do i like re-reinstall anomaly?

im sure there's some mods i mightve dragged and dropped into game data

[versed tusk]

As Falco said, it needs a fresh, clean istall of Anomaly 1.5.1

[brisk zinc]

"You need to use a clean Anomaly"

English isn't my first language but this is clear enough

Basically yes two Anomaly folders

One with JGSME and one for GAMMA

[subtle salmon]

alright cool thanks! im assuming its fine to install that anomaly as gamma is currently installing

jk

[cosmic ginkgo]

how do i do that?

[versed tusk]

are you rly asking how to load a save?

[cosmic ginkgo]

no reload

[versed tusk]

reload a save = load a save - its the same just semantics

[cosmic ginkgo]

ok didnt understand that

[pallid robin]

Can you get expert tools from stashes in dead city

Wiped whole merc base for a green stash near them

[brisk zinc]

Only Red Forest and north from there

[pallid robin]

I see thanks

[latent viper]

Hello! The choice of graphics options and game resolution is selected inside the Stalker settings?

[north turret]

Hi, that's right. Though the settings are optimized quite good. Check the #old-framerate-optimisation if you have performance issues.

[halcyon plover]

whenever i load a save, my fov and sensitivity decreases, any ideas why?

[latent viper]

Thank you! Are there any addons that are responsible for the graphics to customize them?

[north turret]

Not an addon but Reshade, from addons it's enhanced shaders, SSS and tonemap. But it's fairly complicated if you have no idea what to do. Though you can try different Reshade presets. Some of them can be found here in the server or just downloaded from moddb.

[north turret]

No idea but you could try deleting your user.ltx and pasting a new GAMMA default.

[latent viper]

Hmm, is "Reshade" an addon? Can't find it on the list

[north turret]

Not really an addon. To activate it press Home button in game. There you'll find default GAMMA presets for Reshade.

You can tweak a lot of things there like colors, bloom, image sharpness and more. Or just download a preset.

[latent viper]

Ah, now I understand. Thank you!

[latent viper]

Ok

What addons, besides graphics, do I need to look at. I know that YACS is responsible for campfire saves. What kind of addons are there? @north turret

[versed tusk]

all your base settings are in your options menu

#old-framerate-optimisation

then there is reshade ontop

[latent viper]

Thank you

[north turret]

Optional addons maybe. There are a few things that change gameplay slightly. Other than that regarding graphics Skom said it 😁

[latent viper]

Yes, I meant gameplay addons

[versed tusk]

no one can answer 325 mods for you, what you want to change is on you - but maybe I am misunderstanding

best bet, and that goes for any game, go through the options yourself

[latent viper]

I mean the addons that are in the MCM

[versed tusk]

same answer my man

Grok gave you settings that he likes and wants you to experiecne

if you still, after a day or 2 want to change stuff for yourself, just do it

just play the game and give it a try, basic tutorials are here #│📚manual

also in your PDA

you only touch these if you dont like something, its already done for ya

[latent viper]

OK I understood. For some reason, I just thought that before playing the modpack, you need to study addons. I didn't know that all addons are configured by Grok

[versed tusk]

i'd highly recommend looking at them, but most options are there for a reason. FDDA for example can crash your game if you activate more stuff

so its all for a reason and with intent

[latent viper]

Just for myself, I wanted to set up as hardcore game as possible

[versed tusk]

put the game itself on Hard and Survivalist while creating the character, hide the HUD with "H" and "Numpad Enter" - it's already hard 😄

maybe, in settings go for Hardcore NPC Aim, but that's ... rly pushing it

[north turret]

Also there was some way to up the difficulty one step with console. Mostly the difficulty is damage taken and economy. Just don’t touch the bullet damage output slider.

[latent viper]

These settings are basic. I already played the game with these options

[north turret]

Still GAMMA won’t be like NLC or Dead Air or Radiophobia. It’s focused on other things a bit. It’s still challenging though.

[latent viper]

Well, I'm trying to recreate a similar challenge as in NLC)

[versed tusk]

but... this is GAMMA

I know what you mean now tho - try it, and then change stuff if you really feel the need to

[latent viper]

I understand. I'm just trying to turn off all casual mechanics

[versed tusk]

there are no casual mechanics in Gamma

to my knowledge at least

but moddb now has a Ubisoft UI if you wanna puke

now that I think of it, only thing i would personally recommend is activating MAGS in the MO2 and deactivate unjam/reload

that is, if you wanna manage your magazines and load them

[latent viper]

Well, that was good to hear! Something like this I wanted to know!)

[placid vapor]

Im at brain scorcher mission now, in the lab. Phantoms deal insane psy damage, I cant speedrun it to the end to disable it. What consumables would anyone suggest I use?

[latent viper]

Ok. Thank you for your support and sorry for the tediousness if something is wrong) @versed tusk

[versed tusk]

activate mags, untick the unjam/relaod to make it work

and no worries

MO2 has a search bar at the bottom

[latent viper]

Thank you!

[primal star]

Do you have the calibrated psy helm that the mobile lab dude sells?

get the 30k one

then invest in the 15k artifact melter and get any artifact that gives good psy protection

[placid vapor]

I have the helmet, but Sakharov is no longer selling Artifact melter. I was gonna buy it, but I got to Supply lvl 2 with Ecologists and it dissapeared from their shop inventory. Checked a lot of times at different days.

[primal star]

keep checking for a restock, sleep a good 24 hours and it should work

[placid vapor]

Then I`ll need to fight through the monolith horde for the 3rd time. FML.

[primal star]

ye

get at least a moonlight

and you'll be immune to psy damage more or less

just make sure u get efficiency 99

u can do that easily by starting from the lowest tier, and crafting upwards in tiers

since the beginning tier artefacts always spawn at 100%

[versed tusk]

iirc one prof in the north also sells it

[placid vapor]

Yeah, i need to check that artefact melting stuff. Havent tried it yet.

[primal star]

basically the best armor attachments u can get are artefacts

also since this channel is a bit more populated does anyone have a similar experience with me on this? The question is this below

Hello, asking long-term save players, but is anyone having increasingly longer stutters when approaching rookie village from the north? Falco already recommended I change the Alife optimization setting to 1000 and it helped briefly, but now when I approach the town the game literally freezes for an entire 10-15 seconds before it resumes. I'm wondering if its due to loading all the NPCs and anomalies/other entities, since with a rough count I can find around 15-20 loners, and then another 5-6 military down the checkpoint. Game is on SSD and this is like a 60+ hour save.
Also, the crow corpses after emissions are not despawning and some random duty corpses in rostok too... wondering if it'll start happening there...
I know Skyrim also had issues like this with build up of 'stuff', where the solution was to rest for 30 straight days so all dungeons did a reset and any dropped items in the world also got deleted

[hollow raft]

Does anyone know if this is the dreaded "blue tint bug? It looks different from other peoples screenshots so I'm just asking to be sure.

Thanks

[primal star]

yeah happens to me too a lot in that one area

doesn't affect anything though

[hollow raft]

i seem to find lots of locations with this problem

[primal star]

probably true but less noticable for me, maybe it's a difference in screen brightness/contrast?

rip, am I the only one having these insane stutters then?

maybe I should start a new run with mags redux

[versed tusk]

I cant speak on it, only 60+ hours in and just received the psy helmet as I do a very very slow play.
I have issues in Cordon whenever the military attacks the loners, but it's not stutters, just abysmal fps

and these attacks only happen when i kite the military into them... for.. fun

[primal star]

oh lol, was about to say military rarely attacks in my game

but yeah, I get the fps drops when I do the 'defend pump station' mission that clear sky gives

but thats extremes of like 10 defenders and 20 bandits ocming at once

[versed tusk]

ye - i have stutters every time i go from CS base towards the church

ALife then activates the AI in there and it stutters 3 times

but very minimal and short

have you tried the stutter addon?

[primal star]

wait what, thats a thing? does it remove stutters somehow?

[versed tusk]

the issue is as far as I understand, Alife stutters are highly CPU dependent and every CPU is different - so there won't be a be-all-end-all solution I'd assume

[hollow raft]

ive had some lag issues before fast traveling to where i was in that video @primal star did you try waiting around where its laggy for awhile to see if it passes? You could also try updating gamma addons, recently i see a mention of lower spawnrates

[versed tusk]

I've seen some people here talking about changing the Alife calculations inside the files manually - so you could tweak this towards your own system and hopefully get improvement. I just dont know how

[primal star]

yes, to clarify, i have no fps drops, fps is smooth and constant, it's full on screen freezes for 10-15 seconds as I assume AI is being spawned in

[hollow raft]

o

[primal star]

I am running AMD so maybe that's the issue

I've had amd issues before with older games

I'll try that stutter add on thought, thanks

[versed tusk]

maybe the addon then helps - it increases the loaded amount and interval

[primal star]

hope this at least reduces the time spent loading

[prime ice]

does anyone buy fully repaired guns? i have a bunch but no trader wants them

[brisk zinc]

Welcome to GAMMA, read #❗welcome

[north turret]

Nope

[carmine wyvern]

Because I never really had issues w/ my 3900x

[raw raft]

[prime ice]

so what do you guys do with your fully repaired guns that you dont use anymore? just keep them in a box?

[brisk zinc]

You can disassemble them and keep the parts

[prime ice]

OH you can probably even sell the parts

[brisk zinc]

Yes but it's not worth the hassle

It's better to keep them

[carmine wyvern]

Find 3-5 guns you want to keep, collect the parts for them and ignore the rest

[primal star]

AMD ryzen 7 4800h ,it's the laptop ver

[carmine wyvern]

I got lucky and got a SR25 w/ a Suppressor REALLY early on

Only Problem: the Barrel is fucked

[carmine wyvern]

RAM?

[primal star]

16gb

[carmine wyvern]

Mhm, should be fine honestly

[versed tusk]

it's the worst when you find a gun you rly want to use, but have no means till expert tools

i just stare at it

[carmine wyvern]

I could get lucky and find the Repair Kit

And just replace the barrel

[versed tusk]

hope dies last

[carmine wyvern]

I got a MP7 from Aslans Lottery for 30 Monolith Badges, but except the 180 rnd that came with it i got nothing

[vital charm]

How do i fix water flickering? Fresh install..

[primal star]

oh dang, it cut the stuttering down by about half, but it's a very bandaid solution assuming the stuttering was a growing thing in the first place. Perhaps I'll start a new run if it ever gets bad enough, thanks though

actually this gives me a good idea, your shenanigans with the military might work for me to cull some of the loners in rookie village, and maybe that will reduce the stuttering

worth a try

[versed tusk]

and its free loot!

[primal star]

oh its free loot alright, they're just standing there taking shots

won't follow for some reason

silencer off, flashlight on

they follow a bit then just go back to idle

you got some kinda strat i'm missing?

[versed tusk]

when I did that last time, i came through GS next to the military base - they aggro'd on me and i ran circles into rookie village

i dunno - it all just happened 😄

[primal star]

lol got it thanks, i'll mess around wiht it

[versed tusk]

at the end i had almost all stalkers dead and all of military dead

[primal star]

maybe I'll try it in the day time

[versed tusk]

def better at day

[graceful rover]

if i buy a part repair kit, can i maintain parts within weapons with it, or do i have to take the parts out first?

[versed tusk]

should work on right-click, maintain weapon parts

[primal star]

since it fully replaces the part anyways, u can take it out and replace it and keep the part

[brisk zinc]

Be careful with the maintain thing

It replace the part and consume one "use" of the repair kit

It doesn't clean it

It's good when you don't have the part for it

If you have the part + the toolkit, you can directly swap everything

[primal star]

Oh I have a question regarding the disguise system, since I need to clear some NPCs, can I disguise as bandits for example and kill them all with no penalty? or will they link it back to me

[graceful rover]

so i could use it to replace the barrel?

[primal star]

yes

[graceful rover]

like that could make buying a kit for that money totally worth it

[primal star]

u can't 'field strip' the barrel though

just maintain

and itll heal it fully

fully explained in the manual section of the discord

[graceful rover]

i meant thats what i want, like take that damaged mosin, repair its barrel and boom

[primal star]

very useful stuff in there

[graceful rover]

no tools or anything needed

other than the part kit

[primal star]

you need the historic repair kit

itll repair only the barrel

[graceful rover]

i mean i could use a cleaning kit for the rest

[primal star]

and then u still need things such as the 12ga repair kit to bring up the condition of the gun, which is sepereate from part health

using the repair kit only repairs that one part's condition, in this case the barrel which affects its damage and accuracy

[graceful rover]

i mean yeah, thats what im saying

[primal star]

then you got it

[graceful rover]

if its possible to mainain parts in the weapon that are lower than 60 with the part repair kit, ill go to the next technician and slap that money in his face once i have it

[primal star]

yes, that's basically the ideal time to use a charge of the repair kit

when you can't find a 60% part

[sleek delta]

So I'm doing the "Escort Ecologist" quest and during the quest an Emisison happens, so I simply find a safe space and wait it out with the ecologist in tow, the problem is that despite this guy being obviously inside the safe spot, he still dies, like, he just drops to the ground with zero explanation as to his passing, there are no mutants, no gunshots, nothing, he just trips and dies

[last spire]

I have two questions do i need to activate zcp 1.5d and do i only get Expert tools frm green stashes or is there also a chance for white ones

[versed tusk]

you don't need to manually activate any mods, unless you rly rly want them and take the risk. ZCP 15d is unstable and has issues, hence the hotfixes

Green are a guaranteed kit, but anything from the whole kit-pool. White stashes are complete rng

[frigid totem]

Hi, does anyone knows why all bases are literally full of people? (rookie village, rostok, army warehouse). I set days ago at ZCP 1.4 the population bases to minimal but as I see it did nothing. I have been playing for more than 50 hours.

[cunning adder]

Is there a way to turn loot being in stashes back on?

[plucky plaza]

guys do i have to craft the advanced tools? looted atleast 15 white stashes and a couple of green ones, but didnt find any advanced

[thorn tundra]

is there a way to re-unlock sin, renegades etc after updating?

[gentle nimbus]

any way to tweak the shader based scopes?

[cunning adder]

Can I just uncheck the no loot addon?

[fallow wraith]

just updated gamma started a new game and i have a black screen

[versed tusk]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[versed tusk]

I think you can, but it will negate the intended progression of the game

I'd rather suggest you to to MCM > ZCP and add a little chance to find extra loot. this way you wont be showered in stuff, but still are rewarded for looking into all boxes sometimes

[fallow wraith]

ight ill try that

[cunning adder]

I'll look into that

Do the stashes have much better loot in this mod?

[versed tusk]

i just opened one, advanced toolset, drug kit, 30 buckshot, 25 AP 9+19 and some gun parts

there are 2 types - green and white. green ones are rly good and white purely random

[cunning adder]

Yeah, I'll try with the loot turned on and just make the economy harder

It's pretty unsatisfying to find a well hidden one for nothing at all

[versed tusk]

yes, it's intended for you work for the location first. overall the eco is in a very harsh but good place rn

[stable stag]

Yeah. In the character creation screen type greh for Sin, isg for UNISG, or Renegade

[placid wing]

do yall get stash locations from completing missions or do yall just find em?

[versed tusk]

missions & PDAs mostly

[untold olive]

you can get them from completing missions, from bodies, from pdas and selling pdas

[versed tusk]

oh and from surrendering NPCs

[thorn tundra]

Thanks Brodie

[placid wing]

oh shit you can look at pdas?

[versed tusk]

ofc

[placid wing]

damn im stupid LMAO

thanks fellas

[stable stag]

Make sure to click the message in the pda to reveal them

[feral mirage]

Welcome to the location of the truck cemetery I have a decrease in FPS. This happens only in this instance

[gentle nimbus]

been asking for over a week already about this and seens nobody know how to

thanks all for the non help

cya around

[north turret]

There are console commands on moddb page of this addon.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/shader-based-2d-scopes-151dx11engine-mod

[versed tusk]

also great attitude

[viscid tendon]

Do you have to give technicians tools for their supply level to increase?

[north turret]

damn, they left the server already

[north turret]

yes
technicians supply level increases ONLY through tools
goodwill does not change it

[viscid tendon]

Good to know, cheers

[timber briar]

Hi, I have a weird bug where Loris the trader just disappeared. Is there a command to spawn him again? I understand that scripted NPCs need to be spawned as a squad, but i could not find Loris to get his id anywhere in the .ltx files

[carmine wyvern]

Is there. Upgrade Kit available for the MP7 and SR25?

[north turret]

No, just regular attachments. MP7 takes only like 3 sighting devices IIRC

[carmine wyvern]

Fck

[north turret]

They’re still good guns. Especially the SR-25 but I’d like for it to have a canted sight tho.

[ancient pulsar]

What time of the day? he goes to sleep at night.

[timber briar]

He's gone for good, the bastard. I slept for a whole month checking each day wtf he may be 😄

I just need his id, to try to just spawn him.

[ancient pulsar]

haha, damn, he was an asshole anyway, highest prices in the zone! for some shit ammo

[timber briar]

seems like it's not an isolated case https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/l0rnun/respawning_unique_npcs_in_anomaly/

[signal wolf]

Is it possible to ha have the animations mod that shows the backpack when you open inventory to show your faction patch? do i have an outdated version?

[timber briar]

Found the suadID for Loris, it's 19927. I cannot issue a command to spawn him though, the debug menu allows only to click from a predefined list. Is there a console command to just spawn a squad by id?

[carmine wyvern]

It is enabled in MO2 but the options are disabled in MCM

@signal wolf

Reason is, FDDA is known for creating the busy hands bug

So its off by default, to prevent that

Use at your own discretion

[signal wolf]

okay thanks for the heads up

[versed tusk]

the anim for butchering mutants also likes to crash the game just fyi

[orchid barn]

Got this last night, but nothing like that in my inventory. Anyone know wtf this is?

[signal wolf]

@carmine wyvern ive had the otptions turned on already i was asking how to have the backpack be my faction themed with a patch instead of the default backpack

[carmine wyvern]

I dont think that mod exists, atleast not in Gamma

But I am not 100%

[signal wolf]

Ive used the mod on anomaly and if you were duty it had a duty patch on it and whatnot

[woeful ledge]

It is not implemented as I know

[orchid barn]

Ah, well at least I'm not going crazy. I was doubting myself until I remembered I could check the message log

[graceful iron]

its an upgrade kit, it should either be replaced or removed from your inventory

[topaz yoke]

I'm having mild freezing issues, probably the game loading a map for the first time (max render distance), and the "turn this on if you stutter" mod both intrigues and terrifies me

What does it do?

[versed tusk]

stutters happen due to ALife AI calculations

this mod changes values to accomodate modern CPUs

[carmine wyvern]

Its baso a ALife nerf

[versed tusk]

it doesnt help everyone

[topaz yoke]

Ah, alright, not what I was thinking.

[carmine wyvern]

Wait, so it changes how CPUs perform?

Does it actually change gameplay? i.e nerf ALife radius etc.?

[versed tusk]

to my knowledge it changes how many cycles and how far the load begins/does

i could be wrong, but I've read the convos about it

[carmine wyvern]

Mhm....

Might be worth switching on then

[versed tusk]

it helped me a bit, like still some stutters, but much shorter

[feral moss]

whats the key bind to switch to other scopes on the gun rail

[carmine wyvern]

V

[feral moss]

thanks!

[carmine wyvern]

Hold down L for Laser

[fallow wraith]

is there an easy way to remove the shader this modpack performance is horrid constant stutters everywhere

im gonna assume a 1060 isnt enough to run comfortable

[versed tusk]

so I guess I could tinker with the numbers and load even more at once - i guess the modern CPUs can just have more iterations done at once but if you dont let them, it stutters the game until its done

[feral moss]

if i knew you i would give u a hug

[carmine wyvern]

Have you tried #old-framerate-optimisation?

[carmine wyvern]

Hold down N for NVGs

[feral moss]

DAMNIT

was just gonna ask that

[versed tusk]

and single click N for brightness adjustments

[carmine wyvern]

Tapping N increases/decreases NVG brightness while active

[feral moss]

love u guys thanks

[carmine wyvern]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

You might want to tweak some setting for ZCP in the MCM Menu

i.e how much shit spawns

Did you turn on the mod "turn this on if you stutter"?

Might help aswell

[tidal raft]

You may find difficulty running a high spawn count with 300+ add-ons attached.

[jaunty spade]

I've been finding many unpowered exosuits and grids for them but not powered exosuits. I don't think I can mix the two and Spore only exchanges them for unpowered versions. Am I missing something or just unlucky in finding one

[graceful iron]

you need to find exoskeletons from stalkers wearing them but the chances of them dropping the exo are low, and you need to make sure you have enough rank points to get them to drop

higher suit tiers have lower chances and need higher rank points

[jaunty spade]

Guess I've been unlucky then

I'm max rank and did all of living legend

[unreal summit]

I've been told that there's a package and a stash in the Wild Territory, but even when using the free cam the only stash nearby I could find was empty, and when trying to find the package with the RF receiver and the Lamp artifact it would light up an empty stash with no package to be found in the area.

[brisk kindle]

Ive had it trying to find expert tools, by now im the number 1 ranked stalker in the zone just from killing monolith in red forest

In total ive had 2 stash locations in red forest and zero in radar

It seems that every monolith giving me a stash location gives me one in truck cemetery

Advanced tools are craftable, why not expert tools?

[split wigeon]

Anyone knows how to remove that second screen in the top left corner?

[tidal raft]

Because you can farm the southern areas without taking any risks.
Ctrl+F "craft expert tools".

[empty phoenix]

Hello is there a medic in rookie village

[tidal raft]

No.

[empty phoenix]

A bandit followed me all the way from mill and I didn't hear him until his shotgun was in my ass

[brisk kindle]

Yeah sure but why are they so damn rare? Even if they took some wild ingredients i could probably craft 5 of them

[tidal raft]

They only show up in marked stashes north of the Army Warhouse-line.

[brisk kindle]

I know that

[tidal raft]

They are rare because they are desirable, and unlock the most powerful upgrades for end-game.

[brisk kindle]

Ive been running around red forest and radar killing monolith for 4 hours

2 stash locations gotten in the right areas

Both white ones

[tidal raft]

Do tasks.

[jaunty spade]

If you want heavy armor you can craft the heavy repair kit for a more expensive cost I think

With advanced

[brisk kindle]

Ive gotten heavy armor kit like 6 hours into my run

[tidal raft]

Only killing enemies will be less time-efficient in acquiring stash-coordinates than doing tasks.

[empty phoenix]

Are enemies supposed to be totally silent when they are sneaking? I can't hear them until they are screaming into my ear

[tidal raft]

Yes. They are sneaking.

[jaunty spade]

I did tasks in Jupiter and Zaton and got the tools in Outskirts. I'd recommend hanging around there

[empty phoenix]

So there is no cue at all? Like even on grass

[brisk kindle]

It seems like the only stashes i get from tasks are in the south, even when im doing tasks in Jupiter for example

[tidal raft]

No. Bushes do though.

[empty phoenix]

That is good to know ty

[brisk kindle]

Any other ways to get stash locations?

[tidal raft]

Buy them.

[frank robin]

Is there a way to kick with this modpack? I picked up an artifact and it says it provides benefits when kicking mutants? I'm not sure if it's an automatic thing or if you can actually do it.

[brisk kindle]

Guess ill spend 200k on stash then

[tidal raft]

Press the Use-key on a small mutant.

[frank robin]

Do zombies count?

[tidal raft]

Don't know. Maybe with two or more Balls.

[brisk zinc]

Only small mutants

[frank robin]

Gotcha. So dogs, pseudodogs, tushkano.

[brisk zinc]

I don't think dogs and cat are small mutants

You can try but I don't think it works

[frank robin]

Also, probably another dumb question. How do I view the stats I seem to be leveling?

[brisk zinc]

Tushkanos, yes
Also rats

[frank robin]

Damn. I'd love to kick some cats around. Fuck those things.

[brisk zinc]

K #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[brisk zinc]

"You can try but I don't think it works"

Let us know

[tidal raft]

One Ball works against them.

[frank robin]

Animal cruelty is not frowned upon in the Zone. In fact, it is encouraged.

[lyric flax]

Still no luck :(. Yeah I had previously tried the troubleshooting steps. Guess I'll just have to go on with my 0 core enabled

[paper arrow]

cant find anyone north of cordon who sells stash locations

sid only sels locations for swamp, garbage, meadow and agroprom

[fallen lion]

Doing the military quest line and I have to get to Pripyat dungeons. The quest marker does not show up and I do not know where that is, may someone point me the right way?

[little needle]

Hi with the scopes extravaganza fix, should we do a full install?

[real copper]

Any tips to jumping? Got a stash in the truck south of the Roadside camp in Agroprom, south of the fork in the road by the northern military base. I keep trying to jump in but it's not working. Is there at leat a debug or something? I'm moving pretty light so it's not from carry weight.

Took me about 30 tries but I just barely got the right angle and timing. That one is a little tough to get into, especially being in a clearing an earshot from military HQ

[brisk zinc]

I remember you asked something about this

The part repair kit can repair parts above 10% but is incredibly expensive, around 40k on tourist, and is only sold after giving a technician at least basic tools

[paper arrow]

which trader sells stash coords for northern maps?

[unkempt bronze]

Im a Loner with 2 companions, i've been trough the lower sections of the map a couple of times but didn't find any npc with the option to join my party. Is there a cap based on factions or reputation? Or is there a guide explaining how it works

[brisk zinc]

No one IIRC

[unkempt bronze]

I found a guide on the PDA, so basically i can only recruit party leaders that are walking with their group around the map?

[graceful rover]

I mean, i was aware of the existemce of that kit, but thought youd have to take the parts out of the weapon before repairing them with that kit. so my question was if its possible to do that, because if this is possible, its riddicoulus and 50k or 60k isnt that big of a price to pay.

like you can basically sidestep all required tools and repairkits if thats true

[brisk zinc]

isn't a big of a price
Sure

[graceful rover]

definitely easier early on than finding advanced tools, getting a rifle repair kit, finding a spare barrel over 60%....

and 60k, thats like 2 trips

[woeful ledge]

why cs4a pathfinder clear sky suit needs heavy repair kit

if it is medium

even in debug menu

balance reasons?

[graceful iron]

yes. its one of the best scientific suits and you can still repair it with an advanced toolkit

[topaz yoke]

Uhhhhhhhhhh is this little corner in the garbage depot supposed to be enter/exit able

Because it doesn't seem like it is.

[graceful iron]

nope

[topaz yoke]

Is there a noclip-esque command?

[graceful iron]

using debug, yes

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

make sure its enabled and then in game press numpad 0 or in console type demo_record 0 and use enter to move to where the cam is

or load a save if you have a recent one

[topaz yoke]

Aha, I forced my way out by spamming jump against the gate

Take that, people who know what they're doing

[graceful iron]

confusion

[topaz yoke]

The clipping on the gate (right side of the first pic) is off enough that you can climb it by sprint jump spamming enough

[wicked sorrel]

Does gamma work with the HD models mod?

[north turret]

Yes, there’s a guide in #custom-textures on how to make them work.

[wicked sorrel]

Sweet thanks

[graceful rover]

can someone fill me in ot what extravaganza does exactly? does it ad more scopes, or just modify them visually? does it add gameplay functions in regards to scopes?

[spiral pasture]

How prepared should I be before going into dead city?

I have an AKM, pump action shotgun, Twilight stalker suit, and two guys with me

[north turret]

that looks fine enough to me, especially if you have a kevlar plate (or upgraded variant)

[spiral pasture]

I'm getting destroyed by everything 😔

Psuedigiants and controllers

[north turret]

oh, controllers can be a bastard to deal with
I got jumped by three of them after a level transition, had to turn on god mode to get through that garbage

but they are very weak to peeking around cover and putting rounds into them
even a 9x18mm can kill them dead easy enough with careful play

[spiral pasture]

I would've brought my thales but I can't reliably get ammo for it

Freedom guys always want me to run to cordon and back for drugs and Im not doing that

[north turret]

whereas pseudogiants have their own rhythm you need to get into, but it is easy enough to deal with them with minimal damage

[spiral pasture]

My strategy for them is run away

[north turret]

that is a good strategy; their ground slam deals far less damage when further off, and you can just dump rounds into the fecker

[steady crag]

I think i toggled a debug button or something but now my PDA map is showing circle icons with everything that is going on there or what is spawned there. Any way to turn this off?

[north turret]

F7, toggle Debug Map HUD with Z
or it should reset if you just save and reload

is it on purpose that some weapons are just better than others? specifically stuff like the Sig P226R having 24 damage while most other 9mms only deal 20?
also: Carabiner and the TOZ-106 variants have much shorter range than other shotguns
50 m for TOZ-106, 70 m for Carabiner
while even a regular double barrel sawn-off has a range of 300 meters
and I do not believe this to be just cosmetic/only in the inventory stat sheet; I had difficulty killing a trenchcoat bandit in Cordon by shooting him from the railway bridge, some ~80 meters away, while using slugs

[magic walrus]

Found lots of boxes around the map, they are all empty, is that normal?

[north turret]

yes
wooden boxes and metal caches have RNG loot, and you can often bash several before you get anything out of them
but then one can give you a military stimpack and a psy-block, so they are worth beating open

if you mean stashes, then also yes
stashes only contain loot if they are marked on your map by default

[magic walrus]

Aha

Okey, thanks

[charred oak]

To get stashes to be marked, do tasks, read pda's, or kill enemies. Further north you get for stashes the better loot will spawn

[magic walrus]

!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.

[magic walrus]

Got the same crash at same area twice now, anyone able to check these if possible, thanks. 🙂

[proven thorn]

Is it safe to get the update that swaps ZCP 1.5d back for 1.4 again mid-playthrough?

[north turret]

Yeah, everything works fine for me.

[brisk zinc]

Right click on the mod > open on Moddb

But basically, 2D improved scopes

[brisk zinc]

Yes don't worry

[brisk zinc]

Something about debug map, HUD or PDA, I don't remember now, I need to check
Open debug menu and check there, it should be on the "first" page

[stuck sun]

So every new game has a seed that can generate extremely irradiated areas, even where they shouldn't be, like merc camp and gatekeeper's area. Any way to remove irradiated areas from the game?

[strong wraith]

What are the default basic light settings for gamma that work best with the gamma reshade?

[north turret]

Default values are 1.2 for gamma, 1.05 for color saturation and 1 for brightness which is controlled automatically by tonemap. If that’s what you’re asking for.

[strong wraith]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking for. Thank you very much (:

[outer python]

So all of a sudden loners have started attacking my merc companions even though I'm friendly with loners, was this changed since I played a few days ago or is this a bug?

[fallow berry]

yo can i remove ballistics overhaul?

[north turret]

Probably but I wouldn’t recommend as it can mess up things. Like player armour protection.

[fallow berry]

yea i noticed its fked alot of other mods

[mighty verge]

Why does sin have the power to deflect bullets?

[fallow berry]

lol all g

[north turret]

Sin is like a cult. They have mastered special abilities in the Zone or something. Part of GAMMA lore

And just to spice things up a bit

[mighty verge]

I hope it doesn't looked over like in the second storyline

[north turret]

Well, by then you should already have decent equipment

[carmine wyvern]

the Chain artifact also gives Sin members more health regen

kinda neat, cuz on its own Sin is pretty underdog

[round mountain]

hey guys! i have logged about 100 hours in that gamma playtrough as duty. I cant seem to find any EXPERT toolkits. This makes me stuck with medeocre gear...

Any tips where i can find them?

[brisk zinc]

Red Forest and above

Green stashes have a 100% toolkit inside but that could be any toolkit

Try Radar or Zaton

[round mountain]

will do. thanks a lot!

[brisk zinc]

Anything else below Red Forest only spawn Basic and Advance, don't put your hopes up

[gleaming dawn]

So I have 376 mods active and I still get errors

[brisk zinc]

376 mods active

That's already a problem

[gleaming dawn]

oh no

[brisk zinc]

Did you activate them all manually?

[gleaming dawn]

no

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Try this

Open the installer with admin rights

Click on this

[gleaming dawn]

give me a sec

it's gonna be a bit

[carmine wyvern]

are there even that many mods to download in MO2 ?

[daring umbra]

There are kits for repairing weapons, not usable under 10% condition. Are there kits for armors which are not usable below 10% too?

Didnt found them so far

Or do you have to repair these armors with parts? Does changing parts increase overall condition? IIRC no, but how else is it possible then to get a 100% armor?

[carmine wyvern]

changing out the armor parts at a workbench ups the conditions 💯 %

you only have to do it until 70% for the glues&repairkits to take over though

[gleaming dawn]

it's done
