Hey guys, anyone know how i can fix fps issues in the game? In the swamp, i have no fps problems, but basiclly any other zone i get about 10 frames, cordon specifically. I think it's limited by my processor, but I would like to know if there are some solutions. I already applied some framrate optimizations from the other thread, so I don't know what else to change. Any solutions?

Or #│📚manual

[north turret]

Ah

Thanks lol

[karmic pilot]

Already applied all those. I think it has to do something with alife, because the first few seconds I get normal 60 fps then all of a sudden it drops to like 10 fps

[real copper]

@karmic pilot Have you lowered your settings on grass and shadows? Also, if you think it is A-life, there is a setting to limit things like conflict in other levels to smart zones only.

Also; start another save and explore some. See if the issue isn't due to a problem in that particular game world.

There are a few settings for A-life in general. Wish I could remember them but keep playing around with them.

When I first started Gamma I had to spend the first 30 mins to get to good performance while maintain decent graphics

[versed tusk]

As an additional suggestion, open MO2, search for "stutter" and turn that addon on

it changes ALife settings to be more aligned with modern CPUs

it might not help at all, each PC is different but give it a try

[north turret]

Doing last dawn right now, where is the the anomaly in the south west of the swamps? Is it the bog pounder?

[random geyser]

was this the thing where you need get the device from anomaly?

[north turret]

I believe so yes

@random geyser

[brisk zinc]

!scanner

[raw raft]

Can't find the scanner for the Last Dawn quest?: #╭📖faq message

[random geyser]

then it should be in this area if we talk of same quest i ahd problems find it when i did it ...

[north turret]

Thanks man

[north turret]

Yea that’s the spot thanks bro

[random geyser]

the crows are only thing in game that actually need knife on hand to skin and they give this no idea if it has any uses?

[eager silo]

How do I change the full stats key from Lctrl to Rctrl?

Or any other key really

[eager silo]

That was used to make ammo in base Anomaly, as far as I can tell it has no use in GAMMA but I could be wrong

[random geyser]

yeah i tought something like it crows still give it but who even goes shooting at crows

[eager silo]

Heheh well me and maybe you I guess they also drop joints sometimes

[random geyser]

shooting at crows to get joints wtf we talking about now even

[real copper]

I'm looking around and can't seem to find it. I updated. I'm on 3.2. Does that seem right?

How can I find the version number for the latest updates? I'm assuming I don't need to install a new file from moddb like normal Anomaly? That seems implied in the update channel.

[brisk zinc]

3.2

Man you're behind

Like too much behind

!installer

[raw raft]

The latest G.A.M.M.A. installer is 3.7. Make sure you have it. If you don't: #📢announcements message

How to update the installer:

1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. RC3 folder
2. Go in .Grok's Modpack Installer folder
3. You'll find G.A.M.M.A. Installer, don't delete it, just drag and drop the new installer in here
4. Windows will ask you if you want to replace the old installer with the new one, click on Yes

[eager silo]

I also just skin them after emissions and psy-storms

[real copper]

Oh boy

[random geyser]

version you use is in main menu

[brisk zinc]

Hope you didn't do a complete install

Because you will

[random geyser]

not the installer

[brisk zinc]

Ah GAMMA?

My bad then

GAMMA is on 3.2, yes

The installer is on 3.7

[random geyser]

i think he mean that yes?

?

was it was about the dawn mission still? i can go in spot and post pic of where i found it

[real copper]

@random geyser Yes, that's wher I got it from. I used the main menu. Looks like I was good.

[random geyser]

oh that was other guy about the dawn thing

[real copper]

Bro you my heart skip a beat hearing all that I didn't want to do a full install again

[brisk zinc]

The full install is (of course) just the installation

It's nothing about doing everything from the beginning

But I think you already know that by now

[random geyser]

ye but it takes long to install all again its not small mod pack 🙃

[brisk zinc]

The good thing is that you already have everything

So you don't download anything

[real copper]

@brisk zinc true. I meant more like "my game is so outdated you need to reinstall and begin a new game" type of severity.

[brisk zinc]

Ah no no don't worry

Saves are fine

It's only a matter of having an outdated installer nowadays

The only GAMMA available is RC3(.2)

The .2 is fairly recent

The 3.7 installer is recent as well

[real copper]

Yeah; the update was pretty quick. My initial install was like...2 hours or so. Full update is very doable

But thanks for the clarification. Now I gotta mess with my graphics forever to get it back to how I like it!

[brisk zinc]

!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

[real copper]

Oh boy I forgot I was deep in WT

[viscid sparrow]

Is it normal a cann of tunna costing 750 rumbles or my games is bugged? the food prices seem very low

[brisk zinc]

oh about this i think steep parralax should be default off if it cause problem on some gpu if mr Grok see this

save 1 problem solving step if its off default?

[real copper]

I've had it one even before the update but it'd never been a problem for me

What does it do?

[random geyser]

yes i think it was only a m d cards problem

[random geyser]

hmm im not sure

[real copper]

My only really performance tanker is the sun rays; thankfully. I got it about back go normal. Maybe even a bit better graphical since I tend to be pretty liberal with my sliders when performance starts to frustrate me in new games lol

@random geyser I barely know half the graphics settings. I just know more = it luk gud.

I'm a sophisticated man

[random geyser]

ssao and tesselation off is good for fps its not so bad i allways play those off

[viscid sparrow]

Ive made some meat but he cooker is 2000 rubles (i think) it has 5 uses, and when you eat you get a litlle irradiated, if you dont drink water you loose a litle of hp I think, I prefer to spend 700 rubles dont get irradiated and dont need to spend money on cookers and fuels

[eager silo]

You buying from Sidorovich? it's 930 for me, not far off but, do you have Trader overhaul mod on or?

And I'm at supply lv5

[viscid sparrow]

Buying fomr the vodka guy in yantar

At the ecologist base

[eager silo]

Ahh okay I belive he's cheaper so it might be right

[viscid sparrow]

But my guy is level 1 I think...

Sidrovich is stealing money xD

[eager silo]

Heheh very true

[random geyser]

i LMAO on the black jack dialogue for him

[viscid sparrow]

True xD

[brisk zinc]

Wait I'll send you something to read about it

#╭📖faq message
@viscid sparrow

[eager silo]

@viscid sparrow Vodka guy sells me tuna for 775, I did do a full install today to make sure everything is uptodate but don't mean you're game is bugged, could be me

[viscid sparrow]

Its the same thing, im just dislexic xD

[viscid sparrow]

Oki ty <3

[eager silo]

@brisk zinc Fyi in gamma-keybinds it says Lalt to show full condition but for me it's Lctrl

[viscid sparrow]

Ive read it, in mine opinion ins not worth it to cook mutant food, the conned beef has a efficiency calories/price above 20%, but someone may like it, just not for me, having to deal with all the things I mention above.

But ty

gn

[brisk zinc]

Yes

The channel thing is old

It's left ctrl now

[brisk zinc]

Man, that's not even true

Try to cook boar meat with vodka

Buy the cooking third tier from Butcher

And use gasoline with that

You'll thank me later

Cooking mutant food is literally better

It's a no brainer

[eager silo]

Alright, any idea how to change that to right ctrl? It didn't work after changing it in the scripts (zz_ui_inventory_better_stats_bars and ui_inventory)

[viscid sparrow]

Im nor saying its true/false, bad/good just that um mine opinião os not worth ir acoording to my playstyle since food só cheap

[brisk zinc]

I have at least 10 spanish people who can back me up on this

Seriously give it a try

It's much better than canned food

You won't eat it anymore

[brisk zinc]

I already saw your question, I didn't answer because I can't help you with that, sorry

[random geyser]

eat mutant get radiated -> get thirsty drink get deradiated 😉

[eager silo]

Alright

[viscid sparrow]

I Will try but... Canned food for life xD

[viscid sparrow]

Btw I do my maths like this:
Food example one = 100kcl 1000rubled
100/1000 = 0.1
Food example tão = 200kcl 1000rubles
200/1000 = 0.2
Bigger is better.
So if you want to check the mutant meet just divide the calories by the total cost, like cooler+fuel+etc ...
I know canned beef os 0.24?? The rest I dont know, this was what I was trying to explain.

[brisk zinc]

My man, cooked mutant food is better, it's literally a fact

You'll swim in money if that is the problem

[viscid sparrow]

Ok XD

[brisk zinc]

Trust me I've played the game for months

Cooked mutant food keep your stomach full for longer + nice buffs

For early days, canned food is your best friend, yes

The moment you can buy the third tier cooking thing + some gasoline and some white vodka + kill some boars or some Flash (even easier), you're golden

Then of course you do you, if you want to eat canned food I won't stop you

[viscid sparrow]

I trust you, tomorrow I will try to make some low tier food and checking the prices, I going to assume that the meat is free(by hunting) and the rest is paid.
Ty for tour opinion and have a good night :D

[brisk zinc]

Yes, you can always find vodka and gasoline in the world, of course

Also you don't need charcoal

Just use a campfire

[viscid sparrow]

Of course 👍

[frail robin]

does anyone know the spawning id for the mechanic in ecologist base in yantar, he just disappeared in my save

[versed tusk]

gimme a sec

#╭📖faq message

there

it's Peregrine, right?

[frail robin]

oh yeah it is him, i thought peregrine was the mercenary tech, nice one thanks buddy

[eager tangle]

I started getting this problem also. I have to reload a save in order to get them back, but they will randomly disappear again.
Did you ever figure out the problem?

[eager silo]

Try num enter, might be it

Or whatever your 'Toggle HUD' is in keybinds, default is num enter

[eager tangle]

It doesn't bring it back

I reloaded a save with the GUI working properly and it will then toggle the GUI

But when it is in the bugged state it won't recover it

[eager silo]

Ah darn, well sorry not sure I can help

[versed tusk]

I had this issue once - dont ask me why it happend, i dunno. it was loading a hard save, when i loaded the quicksave it was working again

[eager silo]

It's the same issue as the one you replied to right? as in only see your health hud right?

[north turret]

Is it normal not to get the next mission for last dawn after getting the anomaly reader?

Also I’m not getting a quest marker for the third artifact sample for explorers in wild territory, do I just gotta look all around?

[versed tusk]

that one in Wild i think has a description that tells you roughly where to go

if i remember this right

[north turret]

Oh ok cool let me look

But I’ve gotten two markers for em but not the last one

Never mind, just found it

[versed tusk]

[north turret]

Thanks dude

[eager tangle]

Correct.

[eager silo]

Yeah alright since it's not the toggle hud then Im not sure, likely a bug sadly

Sorry I can't help

[tired violet]

I just buy the 7 serving MRE, usually 2 of them, and 2 of the bottled waters. having a couple of each of those lasts me like, forever, considering before I even get near finishing them I'm constantly looting mutant food. I never, ever once cooked a thing in the game.

[eager silo]

Try that purifed mutant meat my guy, it's not all about the cal count, very good buffs on those

[tired violet]

Haven't gone into the food buffs yet. I might try it, but I'm already OP atm.

So seems like work for no particular reason other than to test stuff haha.

Even the food I buy is mostly backup for when I haven't looted any.

New playthroughs though I may check that out (help with the hobo phase)

[versed tusk]

800kals; stamina regen etc on a purified boar

[eager silo]

Not much work imo, and what Skom said, plus 6,4kg extra carry weight for 2850sec

[tired violet]

That's not too bad, like a 3x more powerful cold coffee + food.

[north turret]

Hey, always when I turn on my PC and get into anomaly launcher, I launch the game and the game takes so much time to load, the screen is black and when it finally loads the game, my savegame takes about 1 minute to load (normally with my SSD the game takes less than 10 seconds to load) but the worst of all is when i start to play the game runs at 30FPS, 20 if I am in rostok or in a populated place. This happened to me in the vanilla anomaly, but when I realized this problem was in EFP, I realized that rebooting my PC "solved" the problem (until the next boot), the game did not make the strange thing when going fullscreen, it did not take too much time to load and it was going well in terms of FPS, I have been having this problem a lot, but it had not occurred to me to ask in the EFP server or in this server, until now, so, I ask you, it happens to someone else or it is a problem of my PC (I doubt it very much) or Windows or something like that? (which I also doubt because I formated Windows like a month ago.

[tired violet]

Still sounds like a PC issue. If it's installed on SSD (and not desktop) and rebooting works as a temporary fix, it sounds hardware related to me but I'm not an expert.

EFP and GAMMA are both quite a bit more demanding than vanilla Anomaly too

[north turret]

what do you mean by desktop?

[tired violet]

You want to make sure the game is installed somewhere else, not desktop

Like in your C drive somewhere or something

Since you said SSD I assume it's on C drive or something

[north turret]

I have it in my D drive, the ssd.

[tired violet]

Or D, etc. Whatevs - so sounds like you did it right which is why I said it may be hardware related

[eager silo]

Not just you, I have horrendous frames 17-20 in rostok but my pc is nothing special, check in #old-framerate-optimisation and see if anything there helps

[north turret]

but the ssd its 500gb, i have a partition for windows, 60gb and the a 400gb partition for games

[tired violet]

I would do what Forstingur said and see if any of that helps

[north turret]

to avoid any problem since i modded gta iv and this game haves so many problems when you have it in the c drive

[north turret]

i did anything in there

everything sorry

[tired violet]

It can be in D as well, all I was saying is as long as it's not on Desktop you should be fine - and since it's not, and you're still having problems that are only solved with a reboot temporarily, I was just guessing that it's hardware related then. Unless you installed stuff in EFP wrong, but you also said it happens sometimes in Vanilla Anomaly.

[north turret]

i will try to install it on my other solid hard drive

[north turret]

yes, i formatted windows a month ago and it still happens

so i guess its hardware related too

[tired violet]

It's only with Stalker? GTA4 ran ok for you even modded? Looks like you said GTA4 had issues too.

[eager silo]

A big part of the performance issues is also just the X-ray engine, it just really doesn't play well with a lot of hardware, especially some newer hardware.

[north turret]

i thought that it was because of the game isnt installed in the root of the ssd, like the main place i dont know how its called, but no, i installed it there but it still happens

even today

i installed anomaly vanilla

because i had a copy of a backup and i tested it and i had the same problem even with a fresh install

[north turret]

i dont know, the only thing newer i have in my pc is the ssd, i bought it 4 months ago, 6000mb/s (crucial p5 i think its called)

[tired violet]

What CPU and GPU?

[north turret]

my gpu is a gtx 1050 ti which i bought to a friend since i dont wanted to pay 500$ for a gpu that costs 300$

[tired violet]

CPU?

[north turret]

cpu is a i5 11400f

and i still dont think the problem is in the cpu or gpu because in all the games they work great

even gta4

[eager silo]

When I say new I mean anything less then around 10years, I have the same GPU laptop version

[north turret]

the worst optimized game i ever played it ran great

[north turret]

ah ok

i dont know, i think ill install it in my other hdd

and if it still happens i will know its not the ssd

i am clearly not an expert but i think its just an incompatibility of the games engine with my hardware

probably

but it still seems strange to me

[tired violet]

Yeah it's a tough one. 1050ti is probably your weakest link here, but my old 1650 ran vanilla Anomaly pretty decently. It would probably struggle with EFP and GAMMA though and it's better than your 1050ti so honestly, it could be that.

[north turret]

why i reboot solves it

[tired violet]

But that doesn't explain the reboot...yeah ^ that

[eager silo]

It's an aged engine and it can only really use one core of a cpu effectively so mult core don't really help much

[tired violet]

You can try disabling core 0

Have you done that?

[north turret]

yeah but the game runs perfectly, above 60fps everywhere, even with the reshades and texture packs

[buoyant stump]

any reason to keep more than 1 toolset? what do i do with rest

[north turret]

i mean the cpu carrys it

carryes

[north turret]

yes

i cant explain myself the reboot thing

[tired violet]

Yeah I have no idea then, I can only guess. Sorry - someone better has to hop in on this one for you.

[north turret]

i tried all the boot options in windows

fast startup, sleep, hibernation

etc

[tired violet]

Disabling core 0, setting things to run as admin, all of that is about all I can recommend and if you've done it, dunno.

[eager silo]

Give them to mechanics get money and better repair kits to buy from them

[buoyant stump]

thx

[north turret]

yeah ive donne pretty much everything i can

[tired violet]

I imagine you tested it at lowest graphics settings too

[north turret]

it could be something from the shaders cache or something i dont know

i will try to delete shaders cache when this problem happens before rebooting

[north turret]

yeah but nothing changes, even the fps when its supossed to increase they stay the same

[tired violet]

If you haven't deleted shaders cache and are gonna try that, best way is to go to your anomaly install folder/appdata and physically delete the shaders cache folder there

[north turret]

yeah

[tired violet]

Through the launcher is not as effective

[north turret]

but still, when i did the fresh vanilla install

it happened

[tired violet]

I was gonna mention that

But figured I'd let you try it first instead anyway

[north turret]

even if i didnt have any shader cache

so i dont know, it feels too strange to be a hardware problem only becausw ox the hardware, i think its just a engine or shader problem that only happens to me because of my hardware or something

i bet is the shader cache

[molten siren]

How do I disable English stalker npc voices

[tired violet]

Try deleting it then. If it was it would run fine initially and then begin to stutter after a while/temporarily fix it similar to your reboot

[north turret]

i think its better merc voicelines

[north turret]

yeah, i think i will have to live with it

[tired violet]

Almost sounds like a memory leak issue or something weird

[north turret]

at least my pc reboots fast with my ssd

[eager silo]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing

[tired violet]

You might want to look into stuff like that and other windows diagnostics and see if it's something along those lines

[north turret]

it could be, but if its a problem with my hardware it is the ram, because all of my other components are fine

even the old secondhand gpu

[eager silo]

Whats the ram amount?

[north turret]

16 gigs

[tired violet]

Well hope you find a fix if one exists man.

[north turret]

3200mhz

everything new

boughted some months ago

except the gpu

[eager silo]

I got 24gb but at 2400mhz

[north turret]

but anyways if its a ram or vram problem its with stalker anomaly only, because all other games run perfectly fine

[eager silo]

It's unlikely the gpu unless you run it on high settings

[tired violet]

If it's memory leak/windows related that's a software issue, could be antivirus if it's not an exception there, stuff like that. Your ram and all that seem fine, the only hardware weakness I see is your GPU but even that should be ok (and if it wasn't, the stuff you've done such as lowest settings and so on would have revealed that I think).

Other hardware issues like PSU or heat or whatever, well, you would know if it was them.

[eager silo]

Yeah I've tried all things but sometimes I have 60fps sometimes it's as low as 15fps

As I can tell the higher the AI density the worse it gets

[north turret]

the only thing i have on maximum is the sun quality thing, i have it on extreme because in a guide the guy said it was better in extreme

[north turret]

i dont have any problem, only that reboot thing problem

my fps are stable and high

for my gpu obviosly, not a 3090 ti

[eager silo]

Yeah same, I think we watched the same guide

[north turret]

i have an overkill psu for my pc, 850W 80 plus gold corsair, i bought it because it was in big sale

[tired violet]

Yeah def not that then

[sweet vale]

awesome!

I love mobs of dogs at an entrance to an area!

so fun!

[north turret]

even my cpu is overkill since i have planned changing of gpu to an rx 6600 or a rtx 3060

[sweet vale]

it's literally preferable to walk into army warehouses and fight a squad of monolith over these fucking dipshits

[tired violet]

Yeah that's why I said your only hardware weakness is GPU

The other stuff isn't overkill

Your GPU is just weak lol but not too weak for Anomaly

EFP and GAMMA will have some issues but not terrible since you do have CPU carrying and so on

[north turret]

it has a liquid refrigerstion so it shouldnt be any problem

[sweet vale]

I ALSO take damage when I try and leave

so fucking awesome and cool

[tired violet]

But it'll never be smooth, even my 3060ti and ryzen 5 5600x and so on have some issues but very rarely will it go into something like lower than 20

Only have those types of issues if I go into like Pripyat and when the level loads, there's like 6 poltergeists fighting a big group of Monolith or some other crazy war like that.

[sweet vale]

and they also spawn behind you if you leave and come back

that's so cool and enjoyable

[eager silo]

That's the life of a Stalker for ya, I've just learned to expect it, also if you weren't already when you leave a level keep running when you fade to black, you can still move

[tired violet]

Mutants are always worse than the firefights when they're in a group

[sweet vale]

nah not really

it's only like that due to game limitations

[tired violet]

I'd rather do a Radar run than fight a group of 3 Bloodsuckers or 6 dogs/3 psydogs, any of that. Even boar groups sometimes manage to kill my fully decked in Monolith Exo and Spartan helm and all that ass.

[sweet vale]

not due to stalkers actually being forced to walk into a pack of dogs in broad daylight

[tired violet]

Because they can near "stun"(slow) lock you and bleed you out like instantly.

And their AI = bumrush you

Ugh, like don't even get me started on Snork groups. They're the freaking worst (aside from Bloodsucker groups and ONLY because of Bloodsucker's grab attack)

[random geyser]

snork groups are worst

[eager silo]

Yeah it's a bit of issue that's hard to fix without breaking other things, make sure to have 'Exclusion radius' set to max if it's not already, not gona fix this but it helps with getting bad spawns dropped on you

[sweet vale]

yeah but you usually have the option to prepare for them

or just avoid them if you see them first

[tired violet]

Same with anything really

[sweet vale]

which you can usually do if you're travelling at daytime

this doesn't work when they're at a zone entrance

[tired violet]

I mean your current situation is bad luck but it'll happen a lot more in other areas too

[random geyser]

im 100% sure thre is gimmick to spawn enemy behind you or im paranoid

[tired violet]

No there is

Also when you're in a menu, or looting

But in Limansk for example it is sometimes kind of obvious

But yeah glitch there are other zones where enemies can sometimes be at the entrance. I've been jumped by Boars right when entering Garbage from Cordon. Been jumped by Mercs and other stuff in some of the northern areas.

[random geyser]

red forest shoot shoot shoot runrun looooot b4 more fuc* squad spawn

[eager silo]

With experience you'll start to learn where this is likely to happen and adjust, and this is just a base Stalker Anomaly thing, not Gamma exclusive.

Like that tunnel, 90% chance there will be mutants there

[tired violet]

Renegades are sometimes already shooting you when you enter Great Swamps from northwestern Cordon too. Some of the places, like Forst said, are kind of consistent that way. Entering Red Forest from Jupiter might have you spawn into some Mercs (it's usually mercs even though Forester is usually surrounded by Monolith and Sin). Stuff like that.

Or entering Red Forest from Limansk (loading into that bridge) yeah...

[random geyser]

its your worst enemy that spawns as bounty squads

[tired violet]

I know what I mean with that area near Forester (entering from Jupiter), is that oddly Mercs like to hang out at that campfire by those cars and tent. At least in my save.

While Monlith and Sin are everywhere else, including just south of Forester by the wall and stuff (and the campfire there)

[random geyser]

far as i know area near forester is games hardest area for spawns ?

[tired violet]

Maybe I go there and have bounties frequently enough that it just seems normal

[random geyser]

my reasoning based how i feel it in area constant spawns of F

[tired violet]

Like mercs know I go there a lot to eat me some Monlith and Sin so they just camp there and wait lol

[eager silo]

Yeah I was at Foresters tower the other day and no joke 30+ merc/Monlith/Bandits over some 30min rusing me in there

Spent alot of ammo then

[tired violet]

If you use 5.56 it's usually a great place to get more off of bodies

[random geyser]

the sin camp get random in combat too

[tired violet]

Use AP Slugs and hide in Forester's building while the morons funnel into the only entrance

You'll have a HUGE pile of rounds attached to bodies

[eager silo]

The stairs were literd with body's

[tired violet]

At the cost of cheap ammo for the most part

Also I would put a stash in Forester's room (like that little closet in there)

So you can fast travel to that

Easy access to a lot of the best loot

[random geyser]

seems fair strat for me took me all my ap

but more monoltih you kill more comes i felt

[sweet vale]

real???/

[tired violet]

Yeah they hear the fight and keep wandering in, and more that show up will see the bodies and run to loot them, and then see you

They hear from very far away too in GAMMA, like going into RADAR from the South (or even from the base entrance) you can pull nearly the entire base to wherever you are just because one dude got a shot off.

Even from outside the wall on the southern road

[random geyser]

is this bandy base

[sweet vale]

yeah

is he actually selling full AKs?

[tired violet]

No

[sweet vale]

then why does that message exist

[tired violet]

Unless I am completely wrong, some of those are just leftover from Vanilla and so on

Not added, but not removed

[random geyser]

like near ntrance in radar is near impossible i felt so took long road

[eager silo]

Yeah even with all the 5.45ap I spent I got out with more then I came with, a decent of it old but good for crafting ap, would have used more ap slug but didin't have time to load mags(Saiga) since they keept pushing, but man the loot is gold

[tired violet]

You using mags redux?

[eager silo]

Yep yep

[tired violet]

With that enabled, old ammo stays old ammo when you loot it?

[random geyser]

mags for HC mode

[eager silo]

No, I removed the converter mod so I get old ammo

[tired violet]

Ah ok I didn't know there was even a separate thing for that.

[eager silo]

And ironman

[tired violet]

Does it make more ammo drop as a result or just not convert it?

[eager silo]

Just not convert as far as I can tell

[random geyser]

save tears for that iron man run

[tired violet]

Interesting - ok cool just wondering. It's odd because it looks like you can craft old ammo in regular Gamma, but I never tried.

Lol I wonder if crafting old ammo which might be cheaper (? never looked) actually converts to normal when it's actually done crafting. Like you get good ammo for cheaper by crafting old ammo and it converts to new in your inventory or something

That'd be funny

[eager silo]

Huh, I can't craft old ammo in Gamma, you mean regular Anomaly?

[tired violet]

I might have to re-check, I could have sworn I'd seen old ammo in my crafting menu. But admittedly it was a while ago, maybe it was changed since, or I'm misremembering.

[random geyser]

i dont think thre is old ammo

[tired violet]

If so my bad lol, must be trippin'.

[eager silo]

I turned old ammo converter off since I felt that gave more meaning to ammo crafting

[random geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/tipsy-fun-friday-vodka-gif-13777123

[eager silo]

I just disassemble all old ammo and therefore have more parts to craft the ammo I use

[tired violet]

I may hop on that train but it'll probably be when GAMMA is fully released clean and all that

Before I do any of the other mods

[eager silo]

Since I don't like disassembling good amno 'coz I might use it one day

[tired violet]

More immersive and also less of a sort of cheat that old ammo doesn't convert, I wonder why vanilla does that

Doesn't convert I mean (edited it)

[eager silo]

Yeah It's got some issues but they keep making it better, just hope it runs better then

[eager silo]

Less item blot I believe is the reason

[random geyser]

there s no old ammo

[tired violet]

Yeah but Forst has that conversion disabled so he does have it

[random geyser]

or i had too many vodkas?

[tired violet]

Old ammo still spawns in enemy inventories but it converts it automatically to regular ammo

I feel like Forst's should be the vanilla way

[random geyser]

this

[eager silo]

There is but a mod in the pack auto changes it to normal ammo

[random geyser]

i meant this

[eager silo]

Check your mod list '205- old ammo to new ammo converter'

[random geyser]

i better go sleep gn comrades

[eager silo]

Turn that off and get all the old ammo you like

Alright, gn dude

[tired violet]

Night bro

Gonna go myself and make some grub - take it easy man

[eager silo]

Same to you, enjoy

[molten siren]

How do I disable English stalker npc voices

is it -Better merc Voicelines or is it Gamma Better merc Voices

[eager silo]

I believe its both, not sure if there are any issues with removing them, unlikely but not sure

But those two are the once that add them as far as I know

[sweet vale]

I have 115 rounds of 9mm

there's 2 lurkers and 2 snorks down there

[eager silo]

Aim for the head they aren't very tanky but can be hard to hit

[sweet vale]

Ok

Will the noise attract more problematic individuals thoughv

[eager silo]

Yes

[sweet vale]

I'm sort of in bloodsucker village rn

Do you think they'll get bored

[eager silo]

yeah I see, prepare for mercs to check out the noise

[sweet vale]

I'm a metc

*merc

I'm more worried about the bloodsuckers than the people

[eager silo]

Then your In not as bad a spot

They aren't usually around during the day, "usually"

Be very carefull of burner anomalys

And the fireballs

[eager silo]

There might be some Duty and/or Military around, don't remember if they are friends with merc by default (I have dynamic relations so that might just be my game that they are hostile)

[sweet vale]

I got out

Mercs at the exit got killed by zombies too

[eager silo]

Nice, I also recommend having a good shotgun for mutant killing, even just a sawd-off in good condition with buck can do wonders vs the fast mutants, like the lurkers and snorks

[sweet vale]

So I get free loot to boot

[eager silo]

Yeah npcs are so bad vs zombies, especially if you don't have hardcore AI aim

Well npcs are bad vs most mutants with hardcore ai aim off imo, your companions aswell

[sweet vale]

Also, how do I do the base-clearing quest for Aslan?

wont the mutants just respawn?

[eager silo]

Just need to kill specific mutants, it's not really a "base-clear" just kill x mutants that should be on your map, last I knew, haven't played Merc in awhile

[smoky dome]

hello am new here still in the process of installing gamma, just wanted to know if you guys know the file size of the complete modpack

[eager silo]

modpack is 37gb on my drive

[dense hearth]

Are wolf rescue quests still bugged?

[eager silo]

Not sure, haven't heard if it's fixed and haven't checked sorry, try searching in the discord, if nothing then I wouldn't risk it

Not really worth it anyway imo

[dense hearth]

ahhh just stick to the hunt tasks for the most part in cordon huh

and thanks'

[eager silo]

No problem, random stalker rescue tasks are good tho as far as I know, it was just Wolfs I believe

But I never take his rescue task anyways

[gusty laurel]

Out of the 3 smgs that go in the sidearm slot (MP7, P90, and the Russian 9x21 smg) which is the best?

[thorn crest]

go to Settings and then UI/HUD tab, turn show HUD on again

[buoyant stump]

question, found an AKM from those renegade dudes can i pimp it out with like sights/supressor/lasers and other stuff

and if so how

[eager tangle]

Thanks, I'll try it next time it happens

[eager silo]

That's the same as 'num enter' its just the hotkey for it, but worth a check

[thorn crest]

each weapon needs specific attachments. When you hover over the weapon in inventroy you can see what attachments are compatible with the gun

[buoyant stump]

yeah, just figured out that this version cant be upgraded much

i know there are conversion kits available on some traders, does that also show up there

[thorn crest]

yep

[buoyant stump]

cool

thx

[eager silo]

Rightclick and details will show a full list and info on all attachments for that weapon

[smoky dome]

ah okay thanks, oh yea just for future reference how do you uninstall the 37gb of mods that have been downloaded? do you just delete the folder where stalker GAMMA is located?

[eager silo]

As in delete Gamma as whole? or do you mean just the downloads while still keeping Gamma?

[smoky dome]

deleting both gamma and the mods

[eager silo]

Not 100% haven't looked into it but as far as I know you just delete the GAMMA RC3 folder but fyi I'm just another player so take what I say or 'know' with a grain of salt, might try searching "uninstall" in the discord and see if there is any info

[smoky dome]

I tried doing that in faqs and nuthin came up

[eager silo]

But as far as I can tell it just sets up a folder with the modpack and nothing outside of that

[smoky dome]

ah so all of the mods are in the GAMMA RC3 folder

[eager silo]

Yeah its all just there, for example if you launch Anomaly from its folder and not via the Gamma mo2 launcher you just startup vanilla Anomaly

[smoky dome]

ooohh I see

[eager silo]

It's self-contained as far as I can tell

[smoky dome]

is there a channel to talk about the extra storylines gamma adds btw? thats the main reason cause I was getting bored of freeplay

[brisk zinc]

#╓☢stalker-chat

[smoky dome]

ah so just gen chat thanks

[buoyant stump]

what is this gorilla like mutant im on a mission to kill 2 of these but i keep putting shotgun rounds and they wont die

any tips?

[eager silo]

When you say gorilla like what do you mean? Walk weird on their knuckles, dark and furlike?

[buoyant stump]

yeah, exactly i think they might also have 2 heads but i cant get close enough to see well plus they glow red on some parts

[eager silo]

If its two heads it's Chimeras they can be hard, one of the most dangerous mutants in the zone, spam buck at close range (5-10 good hits) or a good rifle with HP rounds

I believe the smaller head is the weakspot

[eager silo]

What shotgun are you using?

[buoyant stump]

cut off double barrel you choose from the start of the game, dont really have anything else thats reliable

[eager silo]

Then maybe it might be better to leave them be for now

[buoyant stump]

fr lol, i think ill put that quest on my backlog for now at least until i get some better gear

[eager silo]

Could try to take them on if you think you are really good at dodging, they aren't the fastest turners

But in basic armor they are likely to one-shot you max two

[eager silo]

That might be the better plan

[buoyant stump]

yeah i just got some new armor from the clear sky quest guy but i doubt that qualifies as good armor lol

[eager silo]

But if you aren't playing ironman then no harm in trying

[eager silo]

Well it's not the worst either

[buoyant stump]

i'm not, but not too confident on my skills tbh

[buoyant stump]

true

[eager silo]

Well if your not on Ironman its worth a try, if you die then at least you got some experience and know what to expect the next time you run in to one

[buoyant stump]

alright you convinced me ill run it back, lets see what happens

[eager silo]

Goodluck!

[buoyant stump]

thanks

[dense hearth]

just did a quest for mangun, said he was going to give me a rifle.. never gave me one?

[eager silo]

P.s in the swamps, if your okay with that you can chees by using the water, they don't follow you there

[buoyant stump]

guess where i am

[dense cargo]

Did I do something wrong? the bandit AI at least is very buggy. poor detection and tracking of me when I engage them

Mutants seem ok

[eager silo]

Might just be leftover text from base anomaly not sure, don't know but I haven't been given any guns from any task in gamma, there might be a a buch of those, beta after all

[dense cargo]

bandit charged me with a shotgun and did nothing, then turned around and pointed away while i shot him

[dense hearth]

oh fer sure

[eager silo]

Yeah not sure but most the time if you engage from afar especially with a silencer and/or at night they can be quite not sure about the charge and look away, but Bandits are generally not the smartest or the best fighters

And sometimes the A-life Ai is just dumb while at other they are crazy smart/tactical

[bronze bear]

can i fix an exosuit with 22 durability?

[eager silo]

If that's something that constantly happens there might be some issue that needs fixing, but if is just one here and there that's not unusual, but if you are shooting them from a good 100+ range they some times just not even care

[eager silo]

Yeas but you are probably going to need all new parts, and the parts need to be 50% or above to fix normally refer here #│📚manual message

[bronze bear]

my bad, i actually had something called a "battlesuit". it doesnt have any parts to it

[eager silo]

Ohh uh not sure about that, haven't seen them

[eager silo]

Huh... that might be a bug, is that the only armor with no parts for you or?

[bronze bear]

as far as i see

[eager silo]

Not sure, haven't seen that one and every armor I have seen has parts to them

[bronze bear]

if i click details, it just shows the compatible kits and upgrades.

thats fine, its not even that good anyways

but probably should tell grok

[grizzled raven]

that is an exosuit

[bronze bear]

it certainly has everything saying it is one

is it possible for me to repair a 0% weapon by myself?

[lyric steeple]

I think that most all repair items say it needs to be over 1%.

[eager silo]

Check out the guide in your PDA - Gamma manual - repairing:weapons/armors, that has all the info you need on how repairing works

[dense hearth]

is weapon inspection a thing in gamma?

[eager silo]

Inspection as in what way? you can rightclick a weapon and select details from the drop down, but if you mean Tarkov style 3D model inspection then no

[dense hearth]

ahh ok

[dense cargo]

my temp companion also isnt shooting anything and is not alert

[grizzled raven]

sorta

when you equip a new gun you inspect it

[eager silo]

Check that they aren't set to "ignore combat" in the companion wheel default num something don't remember, check keybinds or just talk to them "discuss tactics" and attack on sight, but sometimes if they are shoot at from a distance they don't always react right, not sure why

[queen tundra]

when you get a new companion or set the companions, the ones with the star always try to be in the same position while following you. Is there a way of tweaking this apart from of having only 2 star ones so you have one set on far and the other close? idk seems such a quirk considering how far the modding have reach

[austere mortar]

cant u give personal commands in dialogue

[prime ice]

which mod adds the artifact melter and artifact durability?

[graceful iron]

some weapons have an inspect animation. you need to disable this addon, then you will be able to double tap f

[graceful iron]

artefacts reinvention

[dense hearth]

i know.. sometimes i wish i didn't go by so fast aha

[dense hearth]

🙂

also, where can i find screenshots? can i change screenshot path?

[north turret]

screenshots go into your Anomaly/appdata/screenshots
not into GAMMA folders

[graceful iron]

gammaRC3/overwrites/bin

[north turret]

no? at least not on my end; the only screenshots in there are from before I started playing, so they... came with the install?

[graceful iron]

the default is the one i posted, you can change it yourself

which you probably did

[north turret]

I don't remember doing that, but eh

[heady frigate]

How come I'm suddenly missing the bartender and the mechanic at the mobile science lab - is it possible they died?

[grizzled raven]

they might be in the bunker

[lunar harbor]

hi guys, is "Associate Professor Markarov" Trader an important character? every NPC was shooting at him and my brother killed him?

Also "Pianist Ecologist" is dead too

[terse pivot]

can you repair armor below 50 percent?? how do you repair armor you find off bodies otherwise

[graceful iron]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[lunar harbor]

their bodies are not disappearing, so Iguess they are important NPC

[heady frigate]

Nah they're nowhere, not even on the map

[graceful rover]

Can anyone give me a deeper insight on how misers skull works? Been playing around with it while shooting bandits in cordon, but its hard to pin down exactly what it does. Like i imagine it spawns more loot on bodies if you shoot them in the head? But What kind of loot does it spawn?

[grizzled raven]

pianist is a guard, markarov is indeed an important character

[lunar harbor]

@grizzled raven is not the professor, is an Associate, a dude wearing a blue ecologist suit. It say trader in his ddescription

[grizzled raven]

yes he is

[lunar harbor]

can you revive them?

[grizzled raven]

yes using debug menu

[lunar harbor]

ok, I tried to activate the debug menu in the laucher, but it doesn t show in the main menù

[grizzled raven]

its not in the main menu

go ingame, go to the corpse, press f7, get info

[lunar harbor]

shouldn t I see "debug mode" in the main menù?

[grizzled raven]

No.

#╭📖faq message

[lunar harbor]

bottom left I mean

ok gimme a sec

thx for helping btw

[grizzled raven]

np

[lunar harbor]

ok, I targeted his body and press F7

now?

[grizzled raven]

on his corpse

press get info

there should be a squad id

[lunar harbor]

how do I press "get info"?

the game does nothing when I press F7

[graceful iron]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[lunar harbor]

I enabled debug mode in the launcher and saved the setting

[graceful iron]

you need to launch the game through the anomaly launcher, dont save the settings

[near leaf]

I've played through gamma completely before. I am trying to update and it just ctd's when I try to start a new game.

[graceful iron]

@brisk zinc "save the settings" is a completely useless step, please remove it

[near leaf]

I've completely reinstalled both Anomoly and gamma but no luck

[lunar harbor]

@graceful iron ok I'll try

[graceful iron]

post the crash log

[near leaf]

No can do already deleted it all XD

[severe shadow]

In Falco's video settings guide in #╭📖faq he talks about "(InGame basic settings: Brightness 1.0 / Gamma 1.0 / Colour Saturation 1.3)". Where can I find these settings?

[graceful iron]

lighting settings

[near leaf]

Lets see I restored teh file

[graceful iron]

visual > basic > lighting

[severe shadow]

So, what am I doing wrong? 🤔

[near leaf]

would that be the USVFS logs?

[graceful iron]

the game logs

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[graceful iron]

i dont remember which tab they are in. check the rest of the visual tabs ?

[severe shadow]

I'll check them again, I'm feeling dumb. Thanks anyway

[lunar harbor]

@grizzled raven ok, got debug mode working (it say debug mode in the bottom left) pressed F7 and gathered his info

[grizzled raven]

whats the squad id

[lunar harbor]

the only ID I see is 22072

[graceful iron]

you need to be in-game for them to appear

[austere mortar]

if u wana revide someone u need section, not id

and debug is probably gonna give u section of npc, whereas u will need section of squad (but usually its just "npcsection_squad")

[lunar harbor]

i pressed f7 and get info

[severe shadow]

Ooohh ok, thank you!

[lunar harbor]

tell me what to do and I will

[near leaf]

There is my crash log

[graceful iron]

are you using anomaly 1.5.2?

[near leaf]

Yeah I did the update for 1.5.2

am I not supposed to?

[graceful iron]

also, you need to install gamma and anomaly in the root of the disk as explained in #old-how-to . dont use special system folders like program files

gamma requires 1.5.1

dont update to 1.5.2

[near leaf]

Alrighty

[graceful iron]

please reinstall and read the #old-how-to instructions

[near leaf]

hokay.

Thank you.

[austere mortar]

what does "section" says when u press get info

[lunar harbor]

ah_yan_markow

[fringe mauve]

Guys, i try to heal my arms and legs, but it doesn't work, i use the medecine with the white dots not the yellow

[lunar harbor]

@fringe mauve use a bandage first

[fringe mauve]

okay i'll try

oh okay it works, that's a strange way to proceed

[austere mortar]

ah if its this scuffed artefact hunter shit that spawns npc without squad then nothings gonna help u xd

[lunar harbor]

@fringe mauve bandage gives you temporary hp (orange) then pills convert orange into while hp

[graceful iron]

!heal

[raw raft]

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

[lunar harbor]

@austere mortar ah, and Pianist? I'm f****d too?

[graceful iron]

pianist is not important

just a guard

[fringe mauve]

okay thanks, but why there's no splint, it would be easier and more realistic ?

[lunar harbor]

so my story line is gone forever?

@austere mortar is he related to any quest? or just a trader?

[graceful iron]

he is not a trader. he gives quests from the artefact hunters questline

and he is supposed to be immortal

except to damage from the player

[lunar harbor]

dunno every NPC was shooting him and my brother killed him...and saved

[austere mortar]

try to spawn by section ah_yan_markov_squad
then go to f7 npc logic/execute, type disable_info("ah_markov_dead") and press execute

tho i wouldnt risk trying to do it in such a scuffed addon

[lunar harbor]

he is spawned

where do I type npc logic/execute, type disable_info("ah_markov_dead")?

active section, active logic or INI filename?

or just in Function executer?

[austere mortar]

i dont know how to say it clearer

[lunar harbor]

ok I'm dumb

I got what you mean

@austere mortar it seem his quest is still active

I guess you r a genius 🙂

really thx mate

[karmic pilot]

I just started a new game in Cordon, and I have normal performance, around 60 fps, but when I load in my main save the same thing happens again. So what can be the cause of this problem? Basically every map lags except for my first map, which was the Great Swamp.

[gusty laurel]

Is it better to use helmets over a gas mask or should you use gas masks over helmet? For example the sphere helmet vs the ranger gas mask. What’s better?

[austere mortar]

maybe new game has less npcs? npc makes the game lag

[karmic pilot]

I think that's the cause as well, but what can I do to fix it? Or maybe I have way too many quests, so the quests fill up the map with npc's or something and that lags it? I have no idea.

[versed tusk]

both have their own use - one will get you further in a fight, the other lets you survive the radiation better

i personally take a ranger mask when I'm traveling/farming - it doesnt hurt to have both repaired and use them appropriately

[gusty laurel]

So do you carry around both a ranger helmet and a gas mask in your inventory?

[versed tusk]

No I dont. I switch when I know i'm gonna go fight

i prep my loadout at base, then go out

but mostly wear the Ranger to begin with

its rly more personal choice - i almost never get oneshot to the dome - so i rather save on rad meds

[final brook]

Hey!
is there a path for the ACOG scope?
on quite a number of guns the scope behaves weirdly and barely has zoom to the 3.5x it should have, and the guns where it works properly arent as high quality animation and modelling wise
has someone made a patch for that yet?

[carmine wyvern]

Which ACOG?
Vanilla ACOG or BaS ACOG?

[final brook]

i think vanilla? let me check

[dense hearth]

whats the diff between IAA and AAC?

they seem like the same container to me..

[north turret]

one is a level better, blocks more rads

[dense hearth]

thanks dude

[lunar harbor]

ok today I'm not lucky I guess. Doing the quest "find the laptop and 3 artifact sample". Got the pc, got 2 artifact and now I'm Bushwacher Anomaly where the 3rd should spawn, but nothing

found an Heart artifact instead (dunno if was random or a bug) and now I'm stuck

[final brook]

desert eagle, works perfectly fine

L85 A2 Tactic

weaker zoom and no smooth aim

[austere mortar]

try to delete all common squads with debug and see if that makes any difference

just to certainly know if npcs are the cause

[orchid remnant]

When do exoskeleton armors start to spawn? I'm gotten tons of power supplies and batteries, but no armor. Is it checkpointed by story?

[final brook]

think Wild Territory northwards

WT was the first time i saw an Exo

[orchid remnant]

Weird. I've killed Eidolon and still ahven't seen a single exoskeleton

I don't know if I bugged something. I have outfit loot still set on progressive too so I thought i'd be seeing them by now

[lament falcon]

How to enable fancy running animation

[stable stag]

If the npc model is wearing an exo they'll have a chance of dropping the suit

Location doesn't matter. You can loot an exo in garbage if an npc is spawned there with one

[versed tusk]

iirc also your rank determines spawn chances, the higher they are and you are the better

[ionic fog]

What is the vanilla population settings for gamma in zcp?

[final brook]

0.4 i think

[orchid remnant]

I guess I've just been super unlucky. I turned drop rate up to 100 and outfit loot from progressive to full and i got a drop

Do traders ever sell exoskeletons? I have a lot of factions maxed out

[lament falcon]

i guess i'll get no answer to my question

[orchid remnant]

I've never tried so I can't help. no idea what "fancy running animation" is

[lament falcon]

the animation that i am talking about is, when you sprint, your guy starts swinging his gun around, like tarkov or call of duty games or something

[stable stag]

Uhh, sprint animations should be there by default?

Not sure what you're referring to

[lament falcon]

the default ones look lame

i need the chad, gun in hand running animation

[carmine wyvern]

Depends on the weapons

[lament falcon]

Well... i got the ISG

[dense hearth]

is there a way to delete a task?

[carmine wyvern]

Not every gun has fancy runnin animations

[dense hearth]

can't find this stash don't want it anymore

[stable stag]

The animation where the actor holds the gun one handed and points it up whilst sprinting?

[carmine wyvern]

If the Animator didnt include anything special its the default running Animation thats being used

[lament falcon]

no
hmm... how should i explain this...
i think vex knows what i am talking about, ask him

[carmine wyvern]

Sometimes the gun points forward and bobs up and down

Sometimes the gun points to right and bops left and right a bit

[stable stag]

[austere mortar]

like a police tv show from 90s, best way to accidentally kill a teammate

[carmine wyvern]

Standard FPS running Animations

MW 2019 had the running Animation with most small arms that point to the sky while running

[austere mortar]

i dont think those animations exist so u cant "enable" them ;]

[carmine wyvern]

I do think the Gamma MP7 has that Animation where the barrel points to the sky while running

[carmine wyvern]

I know

Obviously you cant enable animations that dont get downloaded

[lament falcon]

Here is my guns, i think there is a good bet one of them has special animations

[stable stag]

There were some janky sprinting animations like the aforementioned that were removed long ago

[carmine wyvern]

My brother in christ

Stash some shit

[lament falcon]

i'm migrating bro

[carmine wyvern]

Ahh

[lament falcon]

To jupiter

[carmine wyvern]

Nvm the MP7 has the Animation, but only when running with a Detector in the other hand

[lament falcon]

my gun is AK 5C ISG Special i think there is an animation for it, but not activating for some reason

[carmine wyvern]

Are there any important Loner NPCs in Jupiter?

The guy in the Basement?

[lament falcon]

yes

There is a trader, and some other useless dudes, but the trader is all that matter for me

[carmine wyvern]

I am asking because I am war with the Loners

Jupiter is decent for a Base

[mystic notch]

hi guys, i could nto find info about it, does this modpack have magazines redux included?

[carmine wyvern]

Enable it in MO2

Disable the Jamming one

[mystic notch]

Okay, thanks

[dense hearth]

if you do that tho, nicole kidman is gonna tell you to each roach burgers so be wary

so i just entered the southern part of army warehouses and my game keeps CTD when i walk past the fireplace..

[brisk zinc]

@lament falcon look in the mod list

You need to disable a mod about running with your gun down

Maybe that's what you're talking about

[lament falcon]

okay, just tell me what to do

[brisk zinc]

I need to find the name of that mod

It's inside the mod list, you just need to disable it

Even then of course it's a matter of animations

As in

If the gun have the animation, okay

If the gun doesn't have the animation for it, unlucky

[lament falcon]

i definitely got a gun that has a special animation, but its not activating for some reason, its just using default sprint animation, just don't ask me how i know it

[lament falcon]

okay thanks i'll look for it too

[dense hearth]

so i just entered the southern part of army warehouses and my game keeps CTD when i walk past the fireplace..

[brisk zinc]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[brisk zinc]

Should be this one

[lament falcon]

Aaaah, much obliged

@brisk zinc btw, my ingame water looks colorful and weird, i tried deleting cache but it didn't help.

know any alternatives?

[buoyant stump]

what would you pick between a aks74u tactical or a ak105 specialist

[storm dome]

is there a way to increase items condition from corpses?

oh wait

configurable loot condition

[timid jewel]

Is there any mod that makes Anomaly vanilla guns use Boomsticks sights

[storm dome]

ight, new problem, trader dont wanna buy my loot

[brisk zinc]

Loot as in?

[storm dome]

weapons

especially dooshman in freedom base

[brisk zinc]

Welcome to GAMMA

[lapis silo]

[storm dome]

hehe bru

ill think

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual

and, if you must

!vanilla

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

I think Grok should add in #❗welcome a very big "YOU CAN'T BUY OR SELL WEAPONS AND ARMOURS"

[lapis silo]

damn cat, ya beat me to it xD

[brisk zinc]

I'm serious, it's something that is needed at this point

[graceful iron]

no

keep it a surprise

[lapis silo]

You evil man

[storm dome]

well gamma economy satisfies me enough, but that change oof..

idk, maybe ima will just edit the configs to force some of traders to buy

[lapis silo]

Try it first, trust me.

There are many ways to make money and selling guns and armor is arguably the worst.

[graceful iron]

you can make a bit too much money from selling guns and armor. it will really break the economy

[brisk zinc]

I think it's the fear of not being able to have everything the second you play

You literally swim in guns and armours

[storm dome]

like bandit, their equipment sucks and thei will 100% buy my 50% ak-47u

[brisk zinc]

You have so much of them you don't know what to do

[storm dome]

well yea, thats why my changes broke my vanilla anomaly gameplay

i became kinda casual bruh

i can now get almost new weapon from corpse, thats probably enough

[ashen lantern]

Does anyone know how to get this stash in rookie village?

[brisk zinc]

The entrance should be behind you

There is like a ladder

It's impossible to not see that

[ashen lantern]

found it. you can slip through the other side of the roof

[trail thorn]

I have a question. What is the mod that adds that new scary emission siren?

[carmine wyvern]

Emission Overhaul... (?)

[trail thorn]

Interesting

I couldn't see that mod while looking at the mod list

[clear lark]

Is the Gamma Rare Stashes balance the one that removes basic kits from stashes?

[carmine wyvern]

Is there a comprehensive list of Armors and their Stats available somewhere?

[storm dome]

dam, just remembered i can sell weapon parts to mechanics

[austere mortar]

hey im new here, how to buy and sell weapons, i cant

[graceful iron]

[austere mortar]

is it possible to trade them in gamma? ;] i might steal this feature for my modlist that i never play

[storm dome]

#│📚manual

[storm dome]

.

yea, i had exact same problem

[graceful iron]

you cant buy or sell any guns or armor in gamma, and there are a few other items that are crafting exclusive (like pda and detector tiers)

[austere mortar]

cant even trade them for something?

[lapis silo]

cmon man dont do this to them @austere mortar

[storm dome]

oh wait, i cant buy too? dam ok, most of my weapons are from corpses anyway

[graceful iron]

he is just joking, but i assume the second question is genuine

[storm dome]

dissasemble weapons and sell to mechanics, they should buy any shit

as i remem, or this changed too?

[austere mortar]

would be nice to have something like this:
cordon trader has a small list of weapon with prices to trade like 1 tier 4 artefact for m4 (trade via dialogue i mean)
duty trader will have groza or whatever its name for bigger price,
freedom/mercs have some nato weapons etc
same with armor

[storm dome]

i thought about bandits buying weapons because their equipment sucks

[graceful iron]

like you said, steal the ideas for your own modlist that you never play

[storm dome]

and traders bying rare weapons but not regular

[austere mortar]

i dont even know how it works in gamma to steal xd

restricting traders from buying/selling gear is easy, i thought its more in-depth here (moved to non-money trades for example)

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual its really that simple (if we ignore the entire gamma economy)

[austere mortar]

i couldnt even find it there xd

eh i had to scroll all the way up to find one line hidden somewhere in the middle of it ;[

[storm dome]

i mean, i understand why trader wont buy my regular pistoleto or smth bc u can literally just go outside and find it even on the ground, but gauss gun or very rare hunting rifle with some scalps on it, yknow, gun withb history, he should implore me to sell it.
k ill think about it, i need to play more

more than few minutes

[clear lark]

Does somebody know?

[graceful iron]

basic kits are not removed from stashes

you just need stash locations from dead bodies or quest rewards

[versed tusk]

gotta work for your stash

[wanton trellis]

So, where can a Duty member, find himself Advanced repair kit? Because neither Novikov and Duty tech(both lvl5) had it...

[north turret]

Is there a way to get a stash that is out of reach?

A stash spawned on top of a storage container and there’s no way to reach it

[versed tusk]

advanced Rifle kit? once you turned in expert tools to the Mechanics they should restock with it - or, the better option, you craft them yourself with expert tools

[wanton trellis]

thank you, good sir

[visual dirge]

console -> demo_record 1
fly, press Enter to spawn yourself at this point
demo_record 0

[versed tusk]

there always is a way to reach it - embrace the mountain goat

[trail thorn]

Does anyone know which addon adds the spooky emission siren?

[clear lark]

But I mean from the unmarked ones

Im tryin to modulate the game so it becomes kind of roguelike for ironman/warfare

[graceful iron]

stash overhaul probably, not sure

[storm dome]

wait, buckshot is useless against armor, thats ok, but will it damage right in the face?

[versed tusk]

unarmored targets will die from it ya, but rather pop heads with a slug

[storm dome]

so slightly armored target would tank buckshot with his face?

ill understand not dealing damage to armored torso, or exo skele with helmet, but head without helmet

[versed tusk]

is your barrel at 100% ?

[storm dome]

i didnt tried, just aksing

[versed tusk]

legs and head should work, yes

[storm dome]

k thx
what is barrel, u mean ammo?

[versed tusk]

no

barrel is literally the barrel of your shotgun

a weapon part

if its broken, damage goes to 0

[storm dome]

ah yes, ok, i understand

[storm dome]

gamma works with dx8 right? im choosing between dx8 and dx8 avx and ir shows exact same message that my d3d9.dll is missing

``Expression : hD3D
Function : CHW::CreateD3D
File : ..\xrRender\HW.cpp

btw @brisk zinc (sry for ping ) i have a problem with render distance, i changed it to smallest and now cant revert it back, sliders in settings arent workin

[somber coral]

Do you get different faction armors from a stash based on what faction's corpse/quest you got the stash location from?

Or, possibly, is it based on the area? Like you'll get mostly monolith armors in pripyat?

[storm dome]

@graceful iron (forgive for ping god damn i needa solve da problem )

[graceful iron]

copy the user ltx in modpack patches/appdata to anomaly/appdata

it should reset the settings to gamma defaults

[north turret]

So, I got myself into some trouble. I played with helicopter option enabled and somehow the soldiers in Cordon called the damn gunship and now i have a problem. I disabled the options, restarted the game but the damn helicopter is still flying. How can i solve this, cause i really don't want to start again.

[graceful iron]

disabling the option only prevents further patrols from spawning, you will have to destroy the one that already spawned

[north turret]

Oh, crap

[austere mortar]

why magazines arent included in this modpack? ;[

[brisk zinc]

What

They are

Mags Redux is in the mod list

[austere mortar]

oops

[brisk zinc]

You're just like every other user...

[austere mortar]

but how do i sell weapons

[brisk zinc]

@austere mortar are you for real? Like for real

At this point I have to ask

[viscid tendon]

Would changing faction from loner to mercenaries (vai freedom) make my character have english voice lines?

[final brook]

since a very kind modder didnt explain it to me, whats the difference between vanilla acog and bas acog?

[versed fable]

Is there now a bit less monsters in labs or what? Was going through x8 for the main line quests, and i didn't find the usual monsters you find, like crying baby burer, or jumping snork etc. Just found it a bit odd

don't get me wrong it's not a complaint

[stable stag]

There will be a burer, but yeah for some reason the spawns seem borked

Controller is missing etc

[versed fable]

Yeah there was only one burer too

Makes life easier :')

[stable stag]

Other labs have proper spawns

[versed fable]

Okayy. Good to know

[graceful iron]

they look different, thats it

[final brook]

wasnt what i asked, but i already got the answer i wanted from someone else 👍

[graceful iron]

okay

[versed fable]

Oh and also, i got into the lab by cheese, the entrance into it kinda clips on the broken ladder when you go up

[sweet vale]

Is there a bed I can use in the rail depot?

[graceful iron]

yes. check your map for the icon

make sure the important objects is enabled in the pda

[unkempt bronze]

Hey, should i enable Stalker gamma companions rework?

[scenic spade]

Hey i was playing but it crashed and my laptop crashed now its constantly crashing when i try to load the game

[brisk zinc]

"Dest string less than needed"

1. Delete your Anomaly folder
2. Extract a clean Anomaly folder
3. Run the installer as admin
4. Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA installation

[scenic spade]

So ill lose my save games ?

[brisk zinc]

This should be obvious but oh well, save the folder with your saves in it before deleting the folder

[scenic spade]

Any idea on how or why it happned ?

Also do i need to delete gamma too ?

[brisk zinc]

No to both of the questions

GAMMA is fine, don't delete it

[scenic spade]

Okay but because i need to do the full gamma instalation again

Wont i have 2 gamma folders ?

[brisk zinc]

No

[scenic spade]

Okay

[brisk zinc]

Let's go step by step

[scenic spade]

Sorry i dont know shit about these things

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry

I'll help you

I'm here for this

Open the GAMMA installer, the literal program and tell me what version do you have

[scenic spade]

Installer version 3.7

[brisk zinc]

Okay you're golden

Extract Anomaly where it was before (version 1.5.1, not 1.5.2)

[scenic spade]

Its extracting

[brisk zinc]

Okay, let me know

[scenic spade]

Its done

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Open MO2 now

[scenic spade]

Can i paste the map of saved games ?

[brisk zinc]

The what

[scenic spade]

The map of my save games i had to copy them so i dont lose my progres

[brisk zinc]

Yes that's okay

[scenic spade]

Okay whats mo2 ?

[brisk zinc]

This

[scenic spade]

Ah yes

[brisk zinc]

Open it

[scenic spade]

Cannot open

[brisk zinc]

What does it say?

[brisk zinc]

Okay

[scenic spade]

Ow wait

I remember

I need to select the folder of anomaly

[brisk zinc]

Yes, do that stuff

[scenic spade]

Okay it works

[brisk zinc]

Do you see your mods?

[scenic spade]

Yeas

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Now

We can do two things

[brisk zinc]

1. We can go the safe route and have you do the full install (no you don't need to delete anything or start over or anything like that)

2. Or you can play the game and let me know if it still crashes
   If it crashes, you'll still have to do the full install

[scenic spade]

Wel i have a few issues as shown in the pic above

[brisk zinc]

Hm okay

[scenic spade]

Thos where not there an hour ago

[brisk zinc]

At this point do this

Open the installer with admin rights

[scenic spade]

I did

[brisk zinc]

Close MO2

And do this

[scenic spade]

Does mo2 have to remain open ?

Cause it seems the errors are gone

[brisk zinc]

I literally just said "close it"

[scenic spade]

After step 2 i mean

When it opens agaon

[brisk zinc]

So you closed it the first time

Then you clicked on 2

[scenic spade]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Opened again

Okay, close it again

[scenic spade]

Yes

Okay

[brisk zinc]

Now do 3 and 4

This way we can be sure that everything is "linked"

[scenic spade]

All is up to date

Its doing the full instalation

[brisk zinc]

Okay, perfect

MO2 was already working fine

The full install that you're doing now it's just to be sure that everything is fine

[scenic spade]

Its downloading some stuff

[brisk zinc]

And also for that

[scenic spade]

But not everything by a long shot

[brisk zinc]

You're downloading some update

[scenic spade]

Ah i see

[brisk zinc]

It's because you already have those mods

[scenic spade]

Yeay figured

[brisk zinc]

The installer downloads only what you don't have , when you have already performed a full installation

[scenic spade]

Nice

[brisk zinc]

That's why I told you "don't worry you don't need to delete anything"

It's all part of the procedure

[scenic spade]

And if thats done its supposed to be working normally ?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[scenic spade]

Yeah i see now its really impressive tbh

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly should work properly, after this procedure
