What happens if i cancel the download tab?

[brisk zinc]

You're interrupting the download of a mod

Don't cancel those downloads

You need them

[brisk zinc]

So you didn't do it here

You just asked what it would happen if you actually did

[dense hearth]

what makes the ruger sr 556 have such a high base cost?

[pure scarab]

how do i get the box for sidorovich from the military checkpoint?

[lyric steeple]

are there any other how many .45 weapons are there?

[paper sable]

If it's the one from last dawn questline you'll find in on a bookshelf inside the main building, if I'm not mistaken it's on the 2nd floor

[pure scarab]

the left or right building?

and i will need a disguise xD

[paper sable]

Should be in there,I'm not 100% sure

[paper sable]

If you want to I guess,but I always storm it it's not much of a challenge anyway

[pure scarab]

i only have a double barrel

and a sunrise

[paper sable]

Doable with slugs

[pure scarab]

yeah but i dont want to save scam all the time becuse that lucky guy got a granade in me

[paper sable]

Such is life in the zone

[primal star]

there's a google docs with all the weapons for the respective ammos in the #│📚manual channel

click the bottom tabs to switch between weapon types

[lyric steeple]

bullets do differing amounts of dmg too right?

the pistol i have can be upgraded to 762x21 i think

[primal star]

yeah, usually minimal difference unless its specifically made to kill mutants in which case flesh damage tends to be higher

otherwise just go for AP for stalkers and go for a headshot or something

[lyric steeple]

yeah my pistol with hydrashock does WAY more dmg than my shotgun

to mutants

[carmine wyvern]

Yeah but its like 3 times more expensive

[primal star]

buy it from butcher for cheap

[carmine wyvern]

Or craft

[shadow sapphire]

You honestly don't need AP unless they have at least medium armor on and then usually only for pistols until they get into the heavier mediums. Also head is good, but thighs also wreck.

[primal star]

disassemble all pistol ammoy ou don't use either

[lyric steeple]

yeah, started doing that

[carmine wyvern]

I only use the 2 polar opposites

AP and HP

[primal star]

how stable is the new update for you guys?

any significant bugs or instablilty/crashing?

[lyric steeple]

played for about an hour on my old save no issues.

did have to make sure some mods were disabled.

[primal star]

hmm alright

[lyric steeple]

make sure dark signal audio is disabled

[primal star]

im waiting to update later once more of the severe bugs are hotfixed or something

[lyric steeple]

and i think that was it.

for me

likely a good idea.

not even sure what 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2 gets me

but it doesnt seem to have broken.

[primal star]

lots of bug fixes and quality of life changes

i think one major one was you can now open picked up PDAs from inventory by right clicking and clicking open

meaning you don't need to drag it into your pda slot to open it

haven't tested it myself yet but other s have mentioned it

[lyric steeple]

thats not working for me

[shadow sapphire]

@primal star honestly only significant bug seems to be latest version of mod pack doesn't play nice with 1.5.1, other than that it actually runs far better and no reports of any bugs. There may and I stress may be a mouse sensitivity thing when ads, but only reported by one person lots of peeps playing the update no issues.

[lyric steeple]

there is no button to use the pda when its in your inv

[shadow sapphire]

Right click > view. Not for your pda but for the looted ones from bandits, you no longer have to unequip yours.

[lyric steeple]

o interesting.

what do you get from them?

[primal star]

nice gotcha

[shadow sapphire]

Stash locations lore fluff and then money if you sell, or materials if you disassemble.

[primal star]

if you're playing with accessible zone off, you can get lucky and get hidden routes unlocked too

lastly I think sometimes they give RF codes and a location but it doesn't mark it on your map

haven't tried exploring them myself yet though

[shadow sapphire]

I've never gotten one from pda but you do basically always have one you can find that random dude from whatever faction you're working on tells you about. They are basically mini stashes

[primal star]

yeah that one is always available, but I've had PDAs from bandits also have messages like, I was walking around (location) dead city and was messing with my RF and found beeping at (number range) 60 rf or something

never got to exploring before that run ended

lol

what makes it extra interesting is its not marked nor does it leave a message to keep track of on your own pda, kinda feels like a morrowwind quest where they just say go yourself to find the quest reward

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm interesting

[primal star]

I woulda missed it too since I always just click through to get the stash updates

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I wonder how many I missed lol

[willow hawk]

Thanks ! I told the addon author and he will hopefully update this addon. I cannot easily port these changes in GAMMA directly without copying and redistributing half of the addon through github so I won't do it XD

[lyric steeple]

what is a green stash on indicating on the PDA?

[willow hawk]

!stash

[raw raft]

Stashes are empty by default; you will have to find or get coordinates to actually find something in them. These coordinates can be obtained as rewards by completing quests, by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill, you can even threaten wounded stalkers to get them, before you kill them.
You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so it could be anywhere.

Inside these stashes you can find toolkits.

In the south part of the Zone (everywhere UNDER Red Forest) is where you'll find Basic and Advanced.
In the north part of the Zone (INSIDE Red Forest and ONLY NORTH from there) is where you'll find Expert, along the other two.
You also have the gunsmithing toolkit, which is used to craft ammunition of all kinds and you also have the drug making kit, used to create drugs and medicines.

Depending on the location, north or south:
White stashes have a small chance of finding ANY toolkit inside, this means that you can find ONE basic/advanced/expert toolkit OR a gunsmithing toolkit OR a drug making toolkit.
Green stashes have a 100% chance of finding ONE toolkit from this specific pool: Basic, Gunsmithing or Drug Making kit. Advanced and Expert are random and depend on the area the stash spawned in.

[surreal pollen]

does shadowmap affect dx8?

[willow hawk]

Yea

[tulip ore]

where do i buy exo batteries

[carmine wyvern]

i dont think you can

Either loot them from Exo Users or Craft them

[tulip ore]

you can craft them?

[carmine wyvern]

ye

Expert Tools

[frank spire]

anyone have a fix to the game just stalling/freezing for a couple seconds while moving?

usually happens when im walking towards areas where i know fights are happening

[grizzled wharf]

anyone know if I can adjust the weapon damage with certain bullets? kinda tired of having to put like 4 or 5 7.62 FMJ rounds in a merc to kill them. I already turned bullet damage up to 3. when I disable groks ballistic mod in the mod manager my game just crashes when i shoot someone.

im already like 50 hrs in so I dont want to restart either TBH

[boreal jewel]

I have the same issue, definitely not a PC spec problem. I've had complete freezes of up to 5 or 6 second when I thought it was going to CTD, then resumed with no problems. I do get huge lag in some of the larger fire fights (Defend the Barrier for example).

This was happening pre-Anomaly 1.5.2 so unrelated to the update

[shadow sapphire]

!core

[raw raft]

How to 0 core: #╭📖faq message

[frank spire]

I've tried the core 0 thing and havent noticed a change to the stalling unfortunately

[shadow sapphire]

Ok bot, cool work now. @boreal jewel try that.

Also wyvos and Dunc are you running any extra mods, or have made changes to zcp?

[carmine wyvern]

Barrel Condition ?

[shadow sapphire]

Also AP if they are wearing heavy armor and honestly even some med armor

[grizzled wharf]

its 100%

[carmine wyvern]

also use AP if you fight anything harder than a Bandit

[graceful iron]

you can buy them from any general trader at higher supply levels

you cant craft them

[grizzled wharf]

I understand but tbh, but im trying to use FMJ vs most

[shadow sapphire]

I thought so.

[carmine wyvern]

arent there recipes for batteries ?

[grizzled wharf]

IRL FMJ 7.62 is good for about anything honestly

[shadow sapphire]

Not batters psu

[carmine wyvern]

ohhh

[graceful iron]

they are for PSUs, not batteries

[carmine wyvern]

ahhh

well i guess i will shut my mouth from now on

[graceful iron]

[shadow sapphire]

Irl fmj will get stopped by a level 4 plate even a 7.62x 51. Let alone sci-fi armor rigs

[carmine wyvern]

personally i use AP and HP

i always salvage FMJ

[grizzled wharf]

yeah but im shooting these dudes in the freaking face most of the time man

like mercs just tank it

[carmine wyvern]

wait until you encounter Sin

[graceful iron]

gamma is balanced around a few of groks addons like the ballistics addon. if you dont like the current balance you will have to edit the GBO files for damages

[carmine wyvern]

[frank spire]

im not running any other mods

[graceful iron]

i highly recommend you try the base pack first

[grizzled wharf]

im not sure how to edit the GBO

[carmine wyvern]

a Rookie Sin casually Tanking 4 .308 AP rounds to the face

[graceful iron]

did you enable the "turn this on if you stutter" addon?

[grizzled wharf]

yeah thats just annoying IMO

[graceful iron]

it can be annoying, but try switching to AP and see the difference

[frank spire]

ill try that, ty

[minor bone]

!basic

[raw raft]

1. Stashes (white stashes have a chance of having one toolkit from all the available toolkits, green stashes have a 100% chance of finding one toolkit)
2. Go to Spirit in Yantar and bring him vodka
3. Give Hip the gun she's searching

[grizzled wharf]

I use AP often tbh

[graceful iron]

it gives incentive to actually use expensive AP bullets

[grizzled wharf]

but im just asking how i can change the mod so that i dont have to use AP

[minor bone]

ok, what the hell is a daddy token?

[graceful iron]

campfire saves are on by default. daddy tokens allow you to save anywhere every few minutes

[shadow sapphire]

Free save away from campfire basically every 5 minutes

[graceful iron]

you can press shift+f5

[minor bone]

oh ok cool.

[graceful iron]

i cant seem to find which file exactly, but its just a text file that you can edit to change the damage of each ammo type. you can start looking here

i will still look for the old posts that mention the exact file

[grizzled wharf]

THANKS MAN

🙂

[tulip ore]

so i guess i gotta spawn em in

[carmine wyvern]

you can still kill other exo users for their battery

its just rare that they will actually drop

[graceful iron]

you can loot and buy batteries

[shadow sapphire]

They sell them at normal traders....

You can buy batteries from scammovich even

[steel forge]

i am sorry if i updated gamma i am required to start a new game ?

[graceful iron]

you can keep using your gamma savedgames even after updating

if its crashing or seems bugged, #old-bugs and post the crash log

[steel forge]

thanks

[dense pawn]

No bugs, just need help getting past this first quest. I'm playing Merc, and snuck my way down to the Clear Sky base for their questline. Trying to do the Last Dawn quest, problem is that the defending squad gets wiped out each attempt so I get no backup and only 12 rounds for my shotty left. Unfortunately their trader doesn't sell the ammo I need for my shotty, so I'm gonna have to loot and hope I can get the tools to craft my own.

There's so many bandits 💀

[vivid kraken]

Guess you're gonna have to drag your ass back to Dead City, man.

[smoky dome]

If u need shotty shells

go to the garbage hangar

if ur lucky there won't be any loners there and butcher will sell u cheap buckshot

[graceful iron]

you shouldnt cross entire zones on your first day or 2 just for a quest, and you shouldnt try to complete quests with a lot of stalker fighting without the proper gun and ammo

[dense pawn]

I wanted to head to a beginner area that I can chill in for a while with enough quests to sustain myself, I didn't think I'd not have enough equipment to handle their story missions.

💀 Pain

[vivid kraken]

You're gonna wanna stock up on ammo anyway for that questline, there's 3 quests back to back of fighting renegades, renegades, military, and the next one starts as soon as you turn one in

[dense pawn]

💀 I think I'm going to load a save. What's a better questline?

[smoky dome]

oh yea when u need to attack the military, they will have an exo and a nosorog

so gl

[vivid kraken]

Your other option is to start the questline where you find strelok, but you're gonna have a lot of fighting in that one too

Otherwise just do oddjobs to raise goodwill and unlock better ammo at traders

[carmine wyvern]

CS and Mercs are neutral tho ?

[dense pawn]

Yes?

[vivid kraken]

He went through agroprom

[carmine wyvern]

i was put off by the Snuck

ohhhh

my reading comprehension doesnt work rn apparently

my bad

💀

[dense pawn]

I have a vendetta against boars now and have a passion to exterminate the local wildlife in the zone. But anyway imma fast travel or load a save back to....Yantar? Yeah Yantar, where I started. Any suggestions for that area?

[willow hawk]

agroprom is so dangerous as a merc xD

Militaries and loners are everywhere

I hate that map as a merc lol

It's a good spot to grab a SR2M though

or a KS23

or 9x39 rifle for that matter

[dense pawn]

🤔 From which guys?

I'll have to keep that in mind.

[vivid kraken]

I think sometimes the military has them

[frank spire]

I know this might make the progression easier but is there a way to up the quality of enemy guns when you loot them just a little bit?

bandit comes flying from the bushes and shoots 10 times with his shotgun perfectly before i murder him

[carmine wyvern]

if you kill a Experienced / Master / Legend Stalker you get good shit

[frank spire]

killing the exo military man in the swamp and he had a 13% condition ak 😭

[carmine wyvern]

only thing important is the barrel quality of the guns

everything else is fixable in a relative small amount of time

[safe gulch]

do melee weapon have damage modifier or they are all the same with different look

[graceful iron]

they have durability and damage modifiers

also, some of them dont skin all mutants while others do

[graceful iron]

you can change this in the mcm > drop condition but its really not recommended. repairing guns and armor isnt hard and you can repair anything even at 0%

[frank spire]

not even just a teeny tiny bit?

[graceful iron]

its your game. feel free to change whatever you want

[carmine wyvern]

at the end of the day you do you

[graceful iron]

i am just saying, the current economy and progression make sense and work well for most people playing with it

[frank spire]

alright ill try to stick with the base economy

guess im just getting a little antsy since im still in the swamps

[boreal jewel]

Late reply, sorry. But no, no additional mods, some changes to graphics settings, enabled some of the Optionals (Unlimited Stash Weight, Trader Overhaul) so nothing that would affect this.

[lunar harbor]

how is going the "Day after tomorrow" ?

it is safe to update?

[graceful iron]

yes. just make sure to follow the instructions correctly #📢announcements

[willow hawk]

Militaries

[graceful iron]

you need to update anomaly to 1.5.2

[willow hawk]

Guns never drop in good condition

high ranked stalkers still have a chance to drop much better and rarer guns

but their condition will always be bad

[lunar harbor]

@graceful iron oki doki, I'll take some screen off my old settings

[willow hawk]

high ranked stalkers still have better guns condition and usually better parts condition but it's very random

they have better guns and armors and helmets though

[safe gulch]

so the more expensive it is the more damage it's do right?

[graceful iron]

i believe thats how it works but, i never checked the exact numbers

[carmine wyvern]

depends

[graceful iron]

axes have more damage and reach but they cant skin mutants

[carmine wyvern]

i think the more expensive the armor is the more protection it usually offers for example

but obviously not everyone want armor

theres different things to consider for guns too

just because a weapon does high damage (thus the high base price), doesnt mean you can get the ammo easily rendering the gun almost useless

[safe gulch]

so the top melee weapon are kukri and big old axe

[lunar harbor]

@carmine wyvern ASh-12 12.7x55

[graceful iron]

yes

[safe gulch]

and were do i put the monolith blade for damage is the axe still better?

[boreal jewel]

I asked about this yesterday but I'm still unclear. I have had a few exo enemies drop Exoskeleton frames in various conditions (the items that look like metal lattice/folding camping tables in my inventory) and exo batteries. It says in the tooltip that they can be used in the crafting menu. I am currently wearing a Freedom exosuit and the tooltip mentions being able to attach a frame. I can't figure out how to do it - please help!

[smoky dome]

need to do it on a workbench

[lunar harbor]

@boreal jewel those are just really heavy parts that you can swap to repair exoskeleton, exactly like you repair armors, but on a 20 kg component

[thick pawn]

Why was PDA Radio Extended disabled? i want to re enable it ebcause i love the songs on it but is there something i s hould be aware of?

[graceful iron]

it was one of the addons causing a crash when people updated anomaly to 1.5.2

[thick pawn]

😦

[graceful iron]

if you already updated, dont enable it

[thick pawn]

ill re-enable it and see how i go

fuck that is a giant shame. how the hell can a pda song mod cause crashes.......

[carmine wyvern]

What precautions can I take to minimize faulty Mods downloads?

I did everything as usual, didnt spam Moddb, didnt cancel the donnload, yet the installer said all mods were installed correctly but there were still faulty Add-Ons which have to be re-downloaded.

Any methods/tricks to avoid this problem in the future ?

[thick pawn]

@graceful iron is there any idea on why it happens? maybe developer will update it to fix crash? that is a huge shame

[graceful iron]

i have no idea. maybe grok knows something or try asking the author of the addon if he still provides support for it

[thick pawn]

if we are seeing issues with a pda radio mod who knows what new crashes and problems and bugs we have yet to discover and see, and what addons that will break.... :/

i hope 1.5.2 was worth the transition

[mystic finch]

so is pda radio extended the only thing that is currently disabled in the new version?

[willow hawk]

which addons ?

[graceful iron]

adding gamma and anomaly folders as exclusions from AV - using a stable connection and making sure you have enough disk space - (this one is something i noticed myself, but could be completely wrong) dont use the pc for anything else while downloading/installing. just let the installer do its thing - downloading the addons that usually fail to download manually from moddb can help a lot

[lunar harbor]

ok, I'm starting to update, see you soon in the support channel

[graceful iron]

yes

should have 330 addons active

[willow hawk]

Because it wasn't updated to 1.5.2 and was causing a crash. The author updated yesterday after I told him, it should hopefully work now. I will test the new update tonight and push an edit to the modlist so it's loaded again by default

[thick pawn]

<3333

[mystic finch]

has warfare a life overhaul been updated to work with this current version?

[willow hawk]

warfare wasn't edited by the 1.5.2 update iirc

only the survival mode

so it should work without any issue

[mystic finch]

ok good because I have another character that does warfare

[thick pawn]

im downloading the new pda mod update for 1.5.2

i will add it and see how it goes

[carmine wyvern]

I updated shortly before you transitioned to 1.5.2 (roughly 2 hours before)

I did Backup my user.ltx + the MO2 Backup

Mag Redux and the Compass didnt really work

Mag Redux had the debug text in MCM and Ingame and the Compass didnt even work in the first place

Other Mods mightve been affected aswell but couldnt check properly

the game still ran normally

no crashes or errors, it is just of visual nature i suppose

(I cant properly check rn as I am at work, those infos were from the top of my mind)

[mystic finch]

I imagine there will be teething issues I'm sure these will eventually work themselves out though

[carmine wyvern]

I did the last update before 1.5.2 tho

it should be this one

#📢announcements message

thats what I updated to

Mag Redux, Compass and Square Map were bugged with that install, maybe among others i havent/couldnt check out

[lofty merlin]

can we no longer Maintain our parts with a rightclick/maintain option if we have the gun oil/repair items?

[graceful iron]

you can. you need a cleaning kit or repair kit depending on how damaged the parts are

[willow hawk]

maintain doesn't work with lubes, you need cleaning kits and repair kits

[lofty merlin]

gotcha thx, new learning curves

[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

[lofty merlin]

@graceful iron now THATS what im lookin for 😃

[safe gulch]

mag redux gived me gibberish word in mcm, i installed it again from mo2 without the ammo check and solved it , another one is friendly fire adddon

[carmine wyvern]

when reinstalling Mag Redux, which patches did you pick, and did it change the load order of the mod / modlist ?

[boreal jewel]

So I am guessing in 40+ hours and hundreds of high tier enemies my incredibly shite luck with the RNG continues to deny me ANYTHING good in this game. I have not found a single exoskeleton armour, only exosuits or spare parts! I've had none of the cool guns you guys rave about, and in all that time and stashes I have found three basic tool kits, one universal, and no advanced! I started in the Rookie village, joined Freedom, and am now up to Beard's map having done everything else in between. Unluckiest run in history...

[carmine wyvern]

whats your rank ?

[boreal jewel]

No idea, how do I find that?

[carmine wyvern]

in the PDA where you can find the ranking of the other stalkers

[boreal jewel]

Oh OK, I'll take a look tonight. And I'm saying 40 hours, it's probably more like 60+ on this run (because I'm bad at it :P)

[carmine wyvern]

exos start appearing on the loottable at a certain player rank

experienced or above i suppose

not 100% sure

[boreal jewel]

So player rank, not enemy rank?

[carmine wyvern]

player rank decides what enemies drop

[surreal pollen]

@carmine wyvern ill try reinstalling every patch except ammo checker

[carmine wyvern]

please keep me updated

[tidal raft]

The rank score, more specifically.

[surreal pollen]

pray it wont crash

[safe gulch]

just installed normaly in the option given me from mo2 without checking the box for the ammo check one, the order is still the same

[boreal jewel]

Is it correct that ammo checker has no animations involved? If I press the hotkey combo there is quite a delay when nothing happens, then I see the text on screen.

[carmine wyvern]

okay

[surreal pollen]

basixally every tick except ammo check

[graceful iron]

its just a slight movement of the gun, but no real animation

[safe gulch]

I did this

[carmine wyvern]

and everything works again ?

[surreal pollen]

lemme reinstall it again with out icon patch

[graceful iron]

some guns run an inspect animation when they ammo check, although i am not sure if thats still a thing

[safe gulch]

for now lol

[carmine wyvern]

cuz it seems Me, Drill and you (Broskiwalker) have the same issue

[boreal jewel]

I was expecting a mag remove and inspect animation.

[steel forge]

whats the point of having a diguise of a faction aside not being shot against?

[carmine wyvern]

did mag redux get fucked after a recent update for you too ?

[surreal pollen]

welp im trying it rn

[frank spire]

hey guys, so I tried doing the core 0 thing by adding the lines to the ini file in the gamma folder, I get the executable in the drop down in MO2 but for some reason itll get stuck on loading the game and ill have to kill the process

[graceful iron]

using their armor trading system or getting through places safely (that counts as not being shot)

[carmine wyvern]

if so i am glad i am not the only one lmao

[steel forge]

armor trading system?

[carmine wyvern]

i assume the text is fixed again ?

[graceful iron]

you can go to "your" faction (that includes if you are disguised as that faction) and give them a suit of another faction to get a variant of that suit from that faction

its a new system

[carmine wyvern]

you get a suit in the condition you give them tho

[steel forge]

huh

[willow hawk]

It should be installed this way by default

(I will push a commit to enable the AUG patch)

[carmine wyvern]

@willow hawk I, @surreal pollen and @safe gulch had the same issue after updating that Mag Redux has faulty texts

those two are trying to see if re-installing it w/ the Patches is fixing it

[steel forge]

i tried doing that with sidorovich but nothing happened , is the armor required to have a certain condition or certain armors cannot be converted?

[carmine wyvern]

as far as i can tell its fixed again

[graceful iron]

some armors cant be exchanged and sadly there is no list of the exact ones that can be

[steel forge]

oh k

thanks

[lean urchin]

Is there a way to turn off the campfire only saving method?

[dense pawn]

Trying to find classified information in garbage, killed the bandits but there's several stashes all empty nearby. 🤔

[frank spire]

in the mod config menu scroll down to YACS

[surreal pollen]

@carmine wyvern it fix

it fucking fixed it

[frank spire]

disable that and the token notification

[surreal pollen]

just reinstall

[graceful iron]

as wyvos said, its an option in the mcm for YACS

find and disable campfire saving

[lean urchin]

okay, thanks

[safe gulch]

fixed and I don't have problem with reload or mag

[surreal pollen]

broskie

[graceful iron]

make sure you are checking the correct one by looking at the map?

[surreal pollen]

thank you

and i lovecl you for that

[safe gulch]

lol

[surreal pollen]

bns n magredux is my core wanted gameplay you have no idea that i love it

[dense pawn]

Oh I thought it was a search and find type of quest, didn't think it'd just tell me where it is. 💀

[safe gulch]

glad to be of help

[graceful iron]

its a specific stash and it should be marked on the map as a quest marker

[dense pawn]

Gotcha, thanks

[safe gulch]

@willow hawk boss I think you should let people know if they have the same issue about magredux this is a way to fix it until you solve it in an update

[surreal pollen]

i actually gave your name to grok in bugs gamma vanilla

[safe gulch]

thank's man

[surreal pollen]

you actually deserve it

[carmine wyvern]

@safe gulch @surreal pollen absolute Chads

[surreal pollen]

thank broskie

hes the one who actually pointes it out for us

[carmine wyvern]

i was scared that re-installing w/ patches fucks the Load Order in a way

so i didnt do it yesterday lmao

[safe gulch]

I did this 3 time alredy,since I use the discord channel only to see mod made by user or update from the big boss I was thinking someone pointed it out alredy

[carmine wyvern]

but sweet, thats one less thing to worry about

now i need to get the compass running again

cuz that was botched w/ my recent install too

[safe gulch]

never used the compass so I can't be of help sorry

[surreal pollen]

same i actually dont use minimaps

just the pda

wait what do you mean 3 times?

3 versions?

[safe gulch]

every update I did in the last 3 time fucked magredux for me lol

[surreal pollen]

ohhh

okay i thought it was every start up

[carmine wyvern]

interesting

[safe gulch]

no, just remember if tyou update to reinstall it againin the same way until the boss resolve it

[carmine wyvern]

everytime w/ the same fucked text ?

[safe gulch]

yeah man

[carmine wyvern]

huh

yeah Grok has to look into it then

[safe gulch]

don't know why

[carmine wyvern]

#old-bugs message

heres why probably

[safe gulch]

most likely

one problem resolve hundred remain lol

[livid bough]

Thanks ❤️

I should enable mags redux right?

Because there is one in optional and one in disabled

[safe gulch]

optional

disabled leave it unchecked

[brisk zinc]

I literally showed you what you need to do...

[safe gulch]

@willow hawk did you made snork stronger? i killed them in one hit with the bayonetta knife and 3 claw ,now they require 3 hit, did the new knife animation changed something or you made them stronger?

[livid bough]

They were both redux 😦

[livid bough]

thx

[brisk zinc]

Man I literally take a picture of one Mags Redux

It goes without saying that you only need to enable that one I showed you

[livid bough]

Anyway It's all right now, thanks

[worthy slate]

I have a quest where i need to fund a scout but the only clue to his location is "north of swamp road", where is the swamp road?

[brisk zinc]

!scout

[raw raft]

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

[worthy slate]

thank you

[lunar harbor]

@boreal jewel I just farmed the mercenary base till it droppped, I suggest you a good sniper or a good high caliber rifle

[surreal pollen]

Scratch thay

[sleek delta]

My MO2 is no longer displaying mod names, I think I did something but idk what it was, can I get a little help?

[graceful iron]

[sleek delta]

I see my problem but I don't know how to fix it

[keen cedar]

click and drag the border of the "mod name" column

should be able to just expand it

[sleek delta]

I'm trying to drag but it won't work

Mod name does not want to be grabbed

[keen cedar]

only works on the right border

the line between "mod name" and "conflicts"

[sleek delta]

Oooh I get what you mean

its fixed, thanks

[thick pawn]

Is there a trick to being able to kill lightly armored stalkers with buckshot? im not sure that legs actually take extra damage, ive shot a bandit in the legs with it like 10 times or more.

and it would be nice if a stalkers outfit more closely matched their overall BR class. shooting a stalker in the eyes with buckshot not killing him because i guess he has an invisible high BR helmet or something. even a stalker in nothing but a trench coat is tanking buckshot.

a trench coat is not armor, unless this is a bug or something that cant actually be fixed buckshot should destroy an unarmored stalker as like i said a trench coat or jacket is not armor.

[graceful iron]

trench coat has good BR actually. at least against buckshot

[thick pawn]

well it really shouldnt

[willow hawk]

installing manually works ?

[thick pawn]

even according to gamma manual buckshot will still work against very lightly armored stalkers, and a trenchcoat is just clothing

[willow hawk]

I might do a manual patch in github then

[graceful iron]

aim at the center of mass (head/torso). if they are wearing anything better than a leather jacket, dont even bother using buckshot

[willow hawk]

might be easier than figuring out why the installer doesn't pick a specific text file

[willow hawk]

some NPCs have a SKAT9 or Exolight under their trenchcoat

[thick pawn]

@graceful iron trenchcoat and jacket should be same thing and should both have zero chance against buckshot. also i thought legs do more damage?

the stalkers im shooting clearly dont @willow hawk . hes almost naked.

[willow hawk]

trench coat are way better than jacket

[thick pawn]

just a coat and mask lol

[graceful iron]

no. legs allow you to deal damage to otherwise heavily armored stalkers

[willow hawk]

look at the monolith or sin trench coat stat

[graceful iron]

they dont deal more damage

[thick pawn]

well thats what imeant

[willow hawk]

for buckshots against targets, the safest is the neck or the thighs

[thick pawn]

the neck is a thing?

so not actual head itself and face, but u mean specifically the neck

[willow hawk]

yes there's penetration boost to the neck + jaw and the eyes

IRL you never aim for the head anyways

because of how the bullets tend to go up

depending on the distance

this is perfectly mimicked here, and the loading screens tip also provide the hint with flavor text

(aim for neck, you'll connect more shot)

so yes, aim for the neck and jaws

the head is usually protected by helmets

I would like the face to be actually less well protected, but the hitboxes are weird

gasmasks have the same protection than the full head

[thick pawn]

is it an oversight that trenchcoat can tank buckshot? it seems a bit much, buckshot is already useless against any form of armor at all which is fine but it really should kill vs clothing, jacket and trenchcoat etc, especially if they obviously are not wearing a vest/plate or anything other than a mask and coat and a sweater.

[willow hawk]

i.e. the nose is the same hitbox as the helmet sadly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTS5L5kv008

some coat have a protection

[graceful iron]

trench coat models are almost always wearing some sort of armored vest under

[willow hawk]

and you'll need two buckshots to kill these NPCs

also yes

[graceful iron]

some of them even wear ecologist suits under it

[willow hawk]

there's even an exoskeleton wearer hidden below a trenchcoat

[thick pawn]

two? ive been pumping them with it, unless its an issue where hes not actually wearing a trenchcoat but hes got proper armor and its just a visual glitch?

[willow hawk]

if you look at the model

he could have an armor under the trenchcoat

usually trench coat means potential protection

just get used to it

[thick pawn]

so the BR system knows different models and trenchcoats?

[graceful iron]

wait. your gun's barrel is functional, right?

[thick pawn]

yeah its 100%

long barrel toz 34

[willow hawk]

npcs have a BR class of some sort attributed to their model

I'm not managing it, model authors are

[thick pawn]

righto

so for example

a trenchcoat model with armor will ofc register with armor

but a trenchcoat model with literally nothing but a coat should register as BR1 or no armor right?

[willow hawk]

for instance HD Models beret military have a helmet type protection

[covert geyser]

Is PDA Radio extended safe to enable now?

[willow hawk]

yes

[willow hawk]

not sure yet

you can try it out

[thick pawn]

a beret registers as armor?

its just a hat..

[willow hawk]

that's because HD Models suck

[covert geyser]

Alright

[willow hawk]

and the author did some bullshit on the armor profile of NPCs

[thick pawn]

righto

what is BR of beret?

[willow hawk]

for Dux models in gamma it's accurate

[willow hawk]

0

[thick pawn]

as it should be hahaha

well im playing vanilla gamma

if i shoot a blue beret in head

he should die in 1 b uck right?

[willow hawk]

But buckshot against stalkers center of mass = bad idea

you never really know what they are wearing

especially under trenchcoats

also, don't tell me it was Sin members

[thick pawn]

well a blue beret with his face exposed is exactly that.

[willow hawk]

[thick pawn]

he cant possibly be wearing an altyn under his head and skin can he

[willow hawk]

As I said, NPCs armor are accurate with Dux models

[thick pawn]

is dux activated by default?

[willow hawk]

yes

[thick pawn]

should be fine then

[willow hawk]

yes

[thick pawn]

and no its just shitty bandits in garbage

[willow hawk]

now occasionally among the 3000 models there can be some issues

but yeah, trench coat can be dangerous, with buckshots always aim for the neck

or use slugs

buckshots are cheap and mostly good against jackets and mutants

[thick pawn]

if i want to at least attempt to take down an armored stalker with something shit like buck, do i aim for the neck? not legs?

kk

[willow hawk]

you don't

you switch to another ammo

[thick pawn]

its all i have right now while i try to do this from Ukraine with Love mission

[graceful iron]

center of mass works well against the leather jackets. you can even snipe them with buckshot if enough pallets hit and it almost always one shots

[thick pawn]

i really want to try to kill them

with buck

they arent heavily armroed

but armored enough

to be annoying'

[covert geyser]

It works

[willow hawk]

buckshots center of mass is a gamble

just remember it

[versed tusk]

slugs or bust for any humanoid imo

[willow hawk]

or use KS23

KS23 shrapnel is devastating

tight grouping and good pen for cheap

works against mutants and stalkers alike

[thick pawn]

gonna try killing these guys with neck

[willow hawk]

but honestly, just use 9x18 AP

that's your bread and butter ammo early on against stalkers

until you get a rifle with a 60+ barrel

or even 9x19AP if you can afford them

one to the head is enough for most stalkers

[willow hawk]

yeah slugs are awesome

the pen isn't that high though

pistol AP ammo are a better choice imo

loot a bizon, repair it, profit, 64 dead stalkers in your mag

and 9x18 is ubiquitous and cheap

[thick pawn]

@willow hawk yeah nah i dont think it does anything

neck shotting this guy with 12 buck, hes not wearing much at all

[willow hawk]

look at the video I linked

[versed tusk]

mhm true - I meant for early on it's a very great choice as you also find a on of it on Bandits and even renegades

[willow hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTS5L5kv008

[thick pawn]

lol the same shotgun im using

[willow hawk]

out of a sawn off

[thick pawn]

short barrel toz

[willow hawk]

20x70 or 12x70 ?

[thick pawn]

12 gauge

toz 34

[willow hawk]

ok

[thick pawn]

my game must be broken then

because that is absolutely not what happens for me

[willow hawk]

well it's a very bad gun anyways

[thick pawn]

be that as it may

ur video shows them dieinng

in buckshot

to the neck

[willow hawk]

depends on the range

[thick pawn]

while wearing sphere helmet

yeah im as close to them as u are in the video

[willow hawk]

cause I aimed the neck

[thick pawn]

ill literally take a clip

if i can get my software to work

so am i

[surreal pollen]

Grokc,what happens if i remove the gamma economy and place it back

[willow hawk]

Don't disable GAMMA Economy

it has a lot of other changes than simply traders

im convinned something is wrong with my game

after watching that video u sent

i literally never 1 shot them like u were in the video unless they are obviously wearing rags

even the guy with the sphere helmets, you are 1 tapping them where as for me they are eating 8-10 mouths of buckshot

tier 2 bandits

[surreal pollen]

Yo Grok i have question

it cointains weightless ammo patch 🙂

[winged nexus]

im getting rep with faction X and clear sky every mission i do for X faction now. is that supposed to be happening?

[silver cobalt]

Is hideout furniture in gamma? I just reinstalled gamma a few days ago and I’ve been seeing a lot about that mod so I wasn’t really sure

[surreal pollen]

yes

its in gamma

[silver cobalt]

Sweet thanks

[brisk zinc]

What faction X?

[silver cobalt]

How exactly do i use the things with it?

[surreal pollen]

Falco i remember grok has a weightless ammo option, i wanna ask if which do i need to tick on in his ballistic

[lunar harbor]

X Men Faction

[fading imp]

is there any like, predefined spawns for Scar, cause I can't seem to find him, went along the entire south of the map

[neat elk]

Any way to turn off the red tint on the screen when you are in low health?

[minor bone]

Hey Idk wtf has happened but I saved my game, closed the game and came back like a few hours later and opened the game to a black screen. I can see my inventory, messages, etc.... I tried typing in that command cfg_load Grading_Warm but that didnt work

[willow hawk]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[willow hawk]

did you install any custom addons ?

[outer obsidian]

Can I put my old user ltx back in appdata after this update? I wanna keep my settings ideally

[fading holly]

How do I know how many bullets I have left in my gun ?

[willow hawk]

yes

[willow hawk]

it's in the bottom left corner

everything is in the same corner

fire mode, number of ammo, HP and NPC identification

[fading holly]

Oh ok thanks !

[solemn fractal]

will updating anomaly to 1.5.2 change anything with my settings or the mods i've placed directly in the game's folder?

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/nimportequoi-kaamelott-gif-5744088

don't place mods in the game folder

that's how you generate issues

[solemn fractal]

i had to do it with BAS and DICK

[minor bone]

was there something updated to do or should I do this regularly? (updating the data and do a full install again?)

[solemn fractal]

just like it was said in the install guide

[willow hawk]

No, you need to put the zip in the downloads folder

[solemn fractal]

otherwise they didn't work

[willow hawk]

not in the game folder

[solemn fractal]

OH

i'm stupid

yeah i did that

[willow hawk]

ok

so, updating the game will reset your user.ltx

so you might want to save that

and backup your MCM settings

[minor bone]

ok, but oh.... well I already started it... I mean I can just save it now since it isnt fully downloaded yet right?

[willow hawk]

!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

[solemn fractal]

i've got that backed up

[willow hawk]

!difference

[raw raft]

Learn the difference between Full G.A.M.M.A. installation and Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons: #╭📖faq message

[solemn fractal]

what about shaders?

[willow hawk]

In #📢announcements I say if full install is required

[willow hawk]

?

You don't edit shaders so you'll be fine

reshades, yes they will be reset if you didn't make a new profile

[minor bone]

but do I have the opportunity to do that now since the download is still going? I dont receive notifications and when I do I have no clue which channel the notification is coming from so I missed what you wrote this morning. So I need to upgrade my 1.5.1 to 1.5.2. Im just wondering can I do that while it is doing this full game install?

[lunar harbor]

what s this?

[willow hawk]

no

check #📢announcements

that's where important things are told

[minor bone]

ok well in that case can I stop the download of the full game without it causing issues? I need to do everything over but I am hoping that by stopping the download that it wont mess anything up.

[willow hawk]

download of the full game ?

to patch your game to 1.5.2 you just need a 1Gb patch

link is in #📢announcements

[surreal pollen]

Grok
is it okay to switch to dx10 to dx8 time to time?

[willow hawk]

yes, if you feel like it

[surreal pollen]

aight thanks

love ya

[minor bone]

No, I have already patched 1.5.1 to 1.5.2... I am saying that I did not patch it when I began the upgrade gamma data and full install.... I wanted to be sure that if I patched my anomaly to 1.5.2 while gamma was doling a full install, that it wouldnt fuck it up. I couldnt figure out how to stop the gamma full install because I am a noob

hopefully that makes sense

[willow hawk]

Anomaly 1.5.1 > Apply patch 1.5.2 > launcher gamma installer > update data > full install > Launch MO2 > Play

[minor bone]

yea I know... but I didnt realize that we had to update 1.5.1.... I began the gamma full instal and update data before I patched my 1.5.1 to 1.5.2.... I couldnt figure out how to pause or even restart the gamma full install

Here is how I did it.... Launched gamma installer> update data> full install> patched 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 (because I didnt realize before that I needed to do that)

so I started becoming worried that it would corrupt some files and I would have to restart the full install of gamma all over again.

[tawdry anvil]

Hello, can someone tell me wich key/item bring up the craft menu for making an hideout ?

[north turret]

Hey, you need basic tools for that. There is a dedicated section for crafting hideout items 😁

[willow hawk]

you just need to launch a full install again

[solemn fractal]

so after the update...

Where Numbers

[fringe mauve]

When i try to modify lumscale hemi and lumscale amb, it doesn't work, It's because of the shader ?

[willow hawk]

Some addons must be disabled #📍577-mods-in-mo2

[willow hawk]

because of dynamic tonemap, adjust the bars in the MCM menu of the addon

[fringe mauve]

mm i'll check that thx

[solemn fractal]

which ones though?

[willow hawk]

Momopate's detailled stats etc

just do only install gamma addons in the installer and launch the base GAMMA MO2 load order

[north turret]

Do any of you lads know a legit way to access the vault in merc base which is behind Dushman? I’d like a to make a base there

[solar ivy]

Lost to The Zone merc playthrough, Gatekeeper missing?

[pulsar yoke]

Who would want to have mercs as direct neighbours ??

[versed tusk]

#╭📖faq message

[solar ivy]

sorry

😅

[versed tusk]

all good - this guide should help

[solar ivy]

esc_smart_terrain_5_7_stalker_gatekeeper_squad doesn't seem to be working

does it have something to do with _5_7 code as i'm not in Cordon

?

[solemn fractal]

still got the bars instead of set numbers; i did as you instructed, running the base load order

i have a feeling some mod that's responsible for this is just outdated

strange

it only shows up like this in the starting menu

it's fine in-game

[solar ivy]

@versed tusk

[rustic otter]

Do I need to start a new save after updating to 1.5.2?

[brisk zinc]

No

[versed tusk]

I never used this - so i cant help further I'm afraid @solar ivy

[solar ivy]

oh okay

[rustic otter]

thanks

[brisk zinc]

Unless you have something your mother doesn't know

[solar ivy]

the guide is not finished kinda

it only shows spawning in cordon and doesn't mention spawning in other levels, guessing from the esc_ standing for cordon (?)

[brisk zinc]

@molten mason exblain

[versed tusk]

beat me to it

[molten mason]

Well the guide was made with xenotech as an example

[solar ivy]

my point is it did not mention any prefixes for other levels

so natural conclusion is that it's esc_ for all of them

[molten mason]

Are we dealing with a dead gatekeeper and mission failed ?

[solar ivy]

gatekeeper was not there in the first place

[willow hawk]

Ah yes it’s like this in the character creation screen

Don’t know why

Don’t care much

[molten mason]

And yeah 5_7 is cordon

[solar ivy]

so Army Warehouses would be?

[brisk zinc]

We need the other stuff for the command

[solar ivy]

mil_ i guess?

[molten mason]

stalker_gatekeeper_squad is the entire code

[solar ivy]

really?

[molten mason]

Yeah just be near his house

[solar ivy]

ok it worked

wow

[molten mason]

Idk why add the cordon smart

[solar ivy]

thanks a lot

[molten mason]

Actually

Go check cordon farm

See if you spawned extra gatekeepers

[solar ivy]

no, it said missing spawn, thankfully

thanks again

[molten mason]

[solar ivy]

the guide was a bit misleading tho

[molten mason]

There's a few issues regarding gatekeeper
So if you run into issues let me know

[solar ivy]

the quest is gone, it's like i never even got the quest

[molten mason]

ooh you already failed it ?

[solar ivy]

maybe it instafailed

[molten mason]

ok

in that case

hold on

i have a list for this

[solar ivy]

ooh boy

[molten mason]

spawning gatekeeper works as a fix if you know hes gone before turning that mission in

ok step 1
make sure his logics look like this
Active Section = beh@stalker_gatekeeper
Active Logic = logic@stalker_gatekeeper
INI Filename = scripts\military\stalker_gatekeeper.ltx

[worthy slate]

what tool do you need to have to repair a recoil spring?

[molten mason]

click details on the part
it will tell you

[solar ivy]

logic checks out

[molten mason]

step 2
run this
db.actor:disable_info_portion("stalker_gatekeeper_dead")

[solar ivy]

done

[molten mason]

ok save here

[solar ivy]

👍

next?

[molten mason]

go to beards boat

[solar ivy]

that seems weird, i'm there tho

[lunar harbor]

@solemn fractal are we suppose to see stats instead of bars? how do you enable that? D:

[molten mason]

ok then run this
task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("lttz_ll_visit_beard")

[solar ivy]

done

nothing happened

[molten mason]

yeah thats fine

[solemn fractal]

I have no idea i'm poking around in the dark with this

[molten mason]

spawn this code in the boat
stalker_rogue_squad

[solemn fractal]

but you should be able to see stats by default

[solar ivy]

done

[molten mason]

then
task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("lttz_ll_visit_beard")

[solar ivy]

on rogue?

[molten mason]

nah on the air

[solar ivy]

k

[molten mason]

task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("lttz_ll_meet_rogue")

that should be the last one

[lunar harbor]

@solemn fractal thx for the info, but I ve never seen numbers before D:

[solar ivy]

task_manager commands are supposed to be in the finction executer or in the console

?

[molten mason]

oooh

yeah

[solar ivy]

yeah

[molten mason]

function executor

[solar ivy]

oh, that's what i've done and nothing happened

[molten mason]

ok

not a big deal

just run what i posted

[solar ivy]

i did

gonna try again anyway

just to be sure

[molten mason]

if they didnt work
reload to the save i told you to make

[solar ivy]

done

[molten mason]

whats your result ?

[solar ivy]

i reloaded the save, no results at all, back to square one

gatekeeper still here

[molten mason]

ooh then run the codes then

on the boat

[molten mason]

also

talk to beard just in case after this

[solar ivy]

k

[lunar harbor]

@solemn fractal nvm I'm dumb, thought that was the character stats bar. I can see stats on armors and weapons btw

[buoyant stump]

is there a artifact hunting guide or something like that?

[lunar harbor]

@buoyant stump what do you need to know?

[buoyant stump]

like what kind of artifacts spawn where mostly

[solar ivy]

there we go

it worked

[lunar harbor]

they should be random, south weaker, North stronger. Usually you find them around right after an emission and near the anomalies field (white circle on map)

[shadow sapphire]

I dont know of a written guide, but a general rule of thumb, if your looking for an electric type anomaly, its more common near electric anomalies and so on for each type.

[solar ivy]

@molten mason thanks, it worked perfectly this time.

[molten mason]

you should be at get the item 61 quest

[solar ivy]

So i guess what it did it just skipped the quest with meeting gatekeeper and barman and then rogue?

[buoyant stump]

i see, I'll just look around then

[molten mason]

yeah

[solar ivy]

thanks again

[lunar harbor]

@buoyant stump what detector do you have?

[buoyant stump]

current bear but I'll upgrade today

[lunar harbor]

it will be way easier to spot them, good hunting

[buoyant stump]

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

The other thing is often youll see some say "oh I found XXXX artifact" they will often (Im not sure if always) be in your map, find them and kill them and free artefact.

[solar ivy]

just one more quick question, are the questlines conflicting? Can i accomplish for ex. LTTZ and Artefacts Hunter in one playthrough?

[shadow sapphire]

They do not conflict

[solar ivy]

thanks

[rustic otter]

how buggy is Duty Expansion addon? did anyone try it?

[brisk zinc]

It was buggy before because of the patch engine for 1.5.2

Now GAMMA is officially on 1.5.2

But we don't know how it works

For now I didn't hear anyone talking about it

[shadow sapphire]

So basically, it might be good. If you try it, let us know how it works.

Ah the joys of updates.

[rustic otter]

yeah I'm doing Duty playthrough right now so I kinda want to test it out

[shadow sapphire]

I mean test it, worst case is new save, and youll have helped the team here learn and be able to answer that question better.

[brazen shuttle]

uhh did the Vram patch dissapear? after the 1.5.1 update it worked really well now on 1.5.2 i get the same low fps i had before the Vram to Ram patch.

[shadow sapphire]

No change in the patch, you can put To use it, enable r__no_ram_textures (off or on) console command and restart the game to see if changing it makes a difference for you. By default the mod pack has it set to off, to allow ram to be used.

[rustic otter]

Duty expansion crashes whenever I try to talk to anyone

thats it for the testing:D

[lunar harbor]

that was fast

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send a crash log? And is that the only non default mod you are using?

[graceful iron]

i am almost certain its the same issue as before the update to 1.5.2

[rustic otter]

I've downloaded FP death addon but even without it it crashes

[graceful iron]

i think the addon itself needs fixes for the new update

[shadow sapphire]

It sounds like it, but was hopeful we could get that checked off.

[brazen shuttle]

still the same sadly imma have to go for the potato configs :c

[pure scarab]

how do i grab the professor computer on agropron without shooting myself?

[graceful iron]

more psy protection. helmets and suits

[pure scarab]

ah so i gotta progress the main questline i think

to get the psy helmet

[graceful iron]

you dont need the psy helmet and you definitely dont need to progress the main questline

the psy helmet doesnt give psy protection. its just a quest item that allows you to go north

[pure scarab]

'-

bruh

goddamit sakharov

u liar

[graceful iron]

you dont even need to progress the questline to unlock the psy helmet. you can just go to sakharov on day 1 if you have enough money

look for helmets and suits with good psy protection

or artefacts

[pure scarab]

i hate pseudo dogs

[rocky crane]

Alright so I did a big dumb and accidentally reset the gamma controls to the default which seemed to have completely fucked shit up. Anything I can do for a fix?

Or do I just gotta go through and tune the keys back to their norm

[shadow sapphire]

So I decided to look into the duty expansion crash. In the gamma version of the mod once extracted there is only 1 script showing, but in the downloads folder and manually downloading there should be alot more. Potential issue with the extraction?

[shadow sapphire]

Sadly just need to rebind.

[rocky crane]

Alright.

[shadow sapphire]

sorry m8

[graceful iron]

you can reset to gamma defaults by moving the user ltx from modpack patches to anomaly/appdata and replacing

[graceful iron]

the user ltx is in the appdata folder

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, he accidentally went back to default, he wants his custom back.

[rocky crane]

Oh. Well cheers.

[graceful iron]

???

[pure scarab]

should change agropron to dog country

[rocky crane]

No?.. I want the Gamma defaults back

[shadow sapphire]

Wait

[rocky crane]

Cause the anomaly presets are diff from the Gamma ones

[shadow sapphire]

Apparently I can not read.

[graceful iron]

clicking on "defaults" in settings gives anomaly defaults

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I read his message as he set gamma controls to the defaults (I incorrectly assumed that he meant he had changed his binds from gamma default and then set it to gamma default. I need more caffeine) my bad.

[rocky crane]

Yes indeed you fuckin' do my friend.

Well I know the thing worked cause it set the resolution back to 800 x 600

That stalker quality.

[pure scarab]

can the RF receiver packs give toolkits?

[graceful iron]

no

[solar ivy]

PDA guide

[graceful iron]

wut

[solar ivy]

!basic

[raw raft]

1. Stashes (white stashes have a chance of having one toolkit from all the available toolkits, green stashes have a 100% chance of finding one toolkit)
2. Go to Spirit in Yantar and bring him vodka
3. Give Hip the gun she's searching

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah apparently even the manual says that. I am also pretty sure I have gotten toolkits from it...

[solar ivy]

i know i did

[graceful iron]

RF packages ?

[solar ivy]

ye

[shadow sapphire]

Yup

[pure scarab]

wait what happen if i give spirit vodka?

[versed tusk]

he gets drunk

and gives you a basic toolkit

[pure scarab]

WHAT

goddamit

i am here killing myself

[graceful iron]

you can trade vodka for basic toolkit and some ammo types

[pure scarab]

to find 1

[versed tusk]

there's more trades with him

[shadow sapphire]

You can also give hip a toz-194 and 20x buckshot to get one

[winged nexus]

Im experiencing it currently for both loner and duty quests because those are the ones im doing

[pure scarab]

ok time to go to yantar i guess

[solar ivy]

what toolkit do you need?

@pure scarab

[pure scarab]

basic

i looted 3 green stashes and all they had are fucking drug kits and gunsmith xD

[solar ivy]

i believe green stashes have 100% of any toolkit, gray ones have 30%

[pure scarab]

yes

[safe gulch]

Is there in the mcm an option slide to reduce the number of stash you obtain from mission?

[graceful iron]

apparently, its 100% basic, med or gunsmithing only. grok finally explained it

[solar ivy]

The Man finally spoke

[graceful iron]

it can have advanced and expert, but that works like a normal white stash

[pure scarab]

if i get tto yantar i can finaly start proggressing 😄

[austere scaffold]

!dx8

[raw raft]

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

[solar ivy]

clueless

[steel forge]

how to drive the cars in the dark valley?

[versed tusk]

f to enter, caps lock to start engine iirc

[steel forge]

worked , thanks

[grand willow]

My PDA is missing the logs and stuff the only thing I can see is the map, is this normal now?

[solar ivy]

no

[grand willow]

Any idea how to fix it?

[astral condor]

Okay this happened to me before. Did you update to 1.5.2 or still on 1.5.1?

[grand willow]

I updated to 1.5.2

[astral condor]

Oookay that complicates things. That fixed it for me, dunno what's going on with you. Did you view an enemy's PDA beforehand?

[grand willow]

Yeah I tried to but it wouldnt let me

[astral condor]

Yeahhh that might be it. This might be dumb but save your game, exit the game and then restart it. That's a temporary fix

If you're feeling daring, try to reproduce the bug again so you can help Grok and the gang fix it
Post your findings here #old-bugs

[grand willow]

Will do

[astral condor]

Thanks bro. And sorry for the inconvenience lmao, such is life in X-ray engine lmao

[grand willow]

Yeah I can replicate it

I loaded a save on my way back to base with the enemy PDA and I ended up with the same bug

Quitting the game and reloading did fix it

[astral condor]

Did the bug happen again after you quit and reload?

[grand willow]

Yes, I did the same thing and tried to view it and got the same bug

[astral condor]

We'll have to wait till grok comes on. Since it is reproducible and there's like, 2 reports of the same thing, it won't be long before it is fixed :3

[grand willow]

It could be a real problem for me since I always turn off accessible zone

[astral condor]

It shouldn't affect your PDA tho, that's strange

Provided that it did happen to me when I had accessible zone on

[grand willow]

Yeah Im not sure what the cause is but I can replicate it using the debug menu on a new game

It has to do with 1.5.2 because it was fine before I updated this morning

I found one day before yesterday and had no problems

[astral condor]

:P for me it was the exact opposite lmao, updating to 1.5.2 fixed the issue. Wait, may I suggest reinstalling the game? Try "Install modpack addons" first and report back. If it isn't fixed, guess we'll have to tell Grok

[rocky crane]

Okay so question. I've got a quest for a missing squad and I need to use the RF reciever at 181mhz in Darkscape. But I've gotten no hits. Is the questline bugged or just really finnicky?

[brazen shuttle]

anyone else having fps issues?

[shadow sapphire]

Nope smoother in 1.5.2 for most people than 1.5.1 was

[brazen shuttle]

yeah after i launched gamma for the second time after 1.5.1 i just got bad fps

[shadow sapphire]

Ive had no issues with them, be aware the range is not that far on the RF like only 100m. So you gotta be very close.

[brazen shuttle]

first time it ran well tho

[rocky crane]

Ah great. Time to scour the entirety of Darkscape like a madman

[versed tusk]

a lot of graphical settings only come to effect on a reboot of the game - did you change much?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, tbh I would never take a rf quest there unless it tells me where in that region lol.

[brazen shuttle]

just restored the before update settings

which i ran with 90-120 fps

[shadow sapphire]

Wait

[versed tusk]

you can try opening the console and type r__no_ram_textures

[shadow sapphire]

Did you copy your user.ltx file?

[brazen shuttle]

nope

[shadow sapphire]

Do me a favor send your mod list, and if you have a recent crash log that as well please.

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[shadow sapphire]

Doesnt even need to show a crash

just the xray log is fine

[brazen shuttle]

sure

[shadow sapphire]

Ok so I dont see anything wrong in the mod list. Your specs are comparable to mine in a sense. I have 1 gen older cpu and a 2080 not a 2060, so honestly roughly the same. You talked about changing graphic settings what did you change, and was it because you like it or for performance?

Because on default graphics, I am pulling a consistent 80-90fps.

[brazen shuttle]

because i liked it, and tried defaults too

[frosty mist]

What does the "Dark Signal weapon audio files" change? It's unticked by default.

[brazen shuttle]

as i said, before the update i was running it on a consistent 60-110 fps with mostly everything maxed out without activating the grass.

[shadow sapphire]

and just to confirm you have the r__no_ram_textures set to off?

[brazen shuttle]

yeah and tried switching it on and off as you said before and nothing, currently off.

[minor bone]

any one ever encounter an issue where you have to use the scroll wheel a ton of times just to get to the bottoms. Like its moving incredibly slow. I had this issue multiple times now but I have managed to resolve it. This time it wont. Just curious if anyone has a link because I couldnt find it in troubleshooting

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, the only difference between us materially is I am running with the turn this on if you stutter on, and I also enabled triple buffering in nvidia control panel.

[shadow sapphire]

!scroll

oh ffs.

1 second

[minor bone]

!scroll

yea np

[shadow sapphire]

!inventory

[raw raft]

If your inventory is slow and you can't scroll fast anymore: #╭📖faq message

[minor bone]

ok thx. For now on im just gonna reload.

[mystic wind]

is there a shader the messes with beefs nvg ?

its just as dark with nvgs as it is with out them i followed beefs set up and the only thing that happens when i mess with the gain ( single press N or sliders in MCM ) just makes image fuzzy

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmm someone else had that issue, download the mod directly from moddb and use mo2 as the installer see if that fixes it. @graceful iron was that what you did for the other guy?

[graceful iron]

i am really not sure what causes that. seems to not be shaders cache and a full installation didnt seem to work

[shadow sapphire]

He said you gave him a link and he downloaded from that and installed it via mo2? I assumed there a process?

[graceful iron]

wait. who?

[shadow sapphire]

ptaku in installer support

[graceful iron]

...

[shadow sapphire]

am I crazy or is that what he said?

[graceful iron]

the message was edited and i am not sure if i even understand most of it before the edit he said that it didnt seem to work but i guess he tried something else and that worked. still dont know what exactly he did

i am dying of confusion. he speaks the language of the gods and i certainly dont understand it

[lunar harbor]

a Nagakabouros follower

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, so not just me. Do we have screenshots of what Beefs should look like somewhere so I can see what they mean, because mine honestly looks like what he was saying is broken...

[lunar harbor]

ask him where it comes from, maybe one of us can translate for you

[mystic wind]

sorry my bad hahah yeah here

[graceful iron]

i think they are supposed to be brighter and easier to see with than what he was having. those screenshots looked a bit too dark with nvgs

dont have any screenshots at hand but the addon's page has a video testing each of the nvg tiers

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/beefs-shader-based-nvgs-v10

[mystic wind]

i am having the hardest time getting the screen shots

XD

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I watched that, and it looks like what I have, nothing like what he was saying was the fixed version. @mystic wind To be clear, not talking about you, but trying to figure out what you might mean as someone else just complained about NVG but it honestly just looked like they had the gain on minimum, though they swear they didnt.

[mystic wind]

im so sorrry but yes the nvgs are extremally dark compard to the video

[shadow sapphire]

And when you turn the gain up?

hitting your n key

[shadow sapphire]

Let me check mine, stand by

[mystic wind]

yes sir

[graceful iron]

i have seen the nvgs be that dark when there is an emission or psy storm starting /on-going. normally they shouldnt be that dark

[grand willow]

Is the Last Dawn mission to retrieve the scanner from the anomaly in the south west corner of the swamp bugged?

[graceful iron]

no. why?

[grand willow]

I cant find it

Is it in the bog pounder anomaly?

[graceful iron]

yes

it should be an item on the ground. just walk around while holding F

!scanner

[raw raft]

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

[graceful iron]

the screenshot should be the exact location

[grand willow]

Yeah, I literally walked right by it because it was slightly clipped into the group
