!heal

[raw raft]

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

[frosty mist]

even ingame you get hints on loading screens explaining how to heal

when you follow the install for the modpack it even guides you to the features of the modpack

[minor bone]

Mate, I have looked, read the guide, looked for other videos but I cant heal my head or throat or whatever T stands for. My man is comin after me.

[stable surge]

T is Thorax.

[brisk zinc]

Ah this is what he's asking then

What the T stand for

[stable surge]

You pop a healing item like a first aid kit then you pop a Vinca or some painkiller to heal the limb health.

[minor bone]

Yea that is what I have been doing and have gone through a ton of heals and post heals but its not healing the Head or Thorax

[stable surge]

Are you using the right one?

[minor bone]

thats why I was wondering if I missed something

[versed tusk]

The items also show you what tgey heal

[frosty mist]

then you need a correct medicine

[minor bone]

Cheese kit, then ibuprofen

[frosty mist]

^

[stable surge]

Ibuprofen doesn't heal H or T

[minor bone]

Ok thats all I was trying to figure out

[versed tusk]

Ibu is A & L

[frosty mist]

it tells you on the med which part it heals and by how much

[lunar harbor]

ibuprofen gonna heal your head and torso

[frosty mist]

no

A&L meaning arms and legs and by a lot

[versed tusk]

Vinca iirc is head, yadulin everything

[lunar harbor]

oh you right I confused them

[versed tusk]

[frosty mist]

all cleared up now?

[brisk zinc]

Vinca is torso

[high remnant]

yadulin for h+t

[graceful rover]

Is dushman supposed to be here?

[minor bone]

yea

[warped ginkgo]

no

the medic is in that area

[graceful rover]

where is that guy supposed to be??

i killed 2 mercs and hog now because they kept attacking me and i swept through the building twice now

i get the feeling i killed him on my first visit

[stable surge]

So one more question. I noticed that at the start up when picking items for your loadout that Cystamine is 20 points and Radioprotectant is 25. Shouldn't it be the other way around since Cystamine as a higher protection against rads?

[river forge]

When repairing armor, can you use a field armor repair kit on any armor if you're at a vice?

Or do you need the required armor kit i.e. medium armor kit?

[stable surge]

@river forge The latter I believe.

[river forge]

So if I found an SP-99 Helmet, I have to get a medium armor kit to repair it? There's no other option, like how you can field strip a gun?

Also, if I have the medium kit, could it be used to repair light armor as well?

[versed tusk]

Yes No No

[river forge]

Damn

Also is there a hideout guide anywhere? I'm not sure if it's something I can set up wherever I want or if there are specific spots

I wouldn't want to buy a piano only for some stalker to walk up and eat it

[versed tusk]

Anywhere you deem ok

Best part is the mobile workbench

Super cheap and extra useful

[magic thunder]

how do i make beef's nvg work

[raw raft]

If you want to keep your personal mod list between updates: #╭📖faq message

[north turret]

I assume you've got every addon installed correct. Default button is long press N. Beef's NVGs work only on DX10/11.

[magic thunder]

thanks

[minor bone]

Is there a way to see how long you have to complete a specific task?

like a few fetch quests have failed so I wondered if there was a standard time frame for these quests

[frosty mist]

unfortunately no

[minor bone]

hm damn alright

[frosty mist]

in my experience its a couple days

[minor bone]

yea. Im just going to start accepting quests that I can do right then and there

[frosty mist]

5-6 days tops

[finite sail]

is it possible to change what is Hip wearing? or do i need a mod for that?

[frosty mist]

there's a mod for that ye

[brisk zinc]

There's a mod for that in the mod list but it doesn't work

[grizzled wharf]

why did it just take me like 20 shots from f.45 fmj to kill a simple flesh

ffs starting to hate this mod

[brisk zinc]

!ammo

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

Read the #│📚manual

It's also in your PDA

Don't blame the game, blame yourself if you don't know the mechanics

[grizzled wharf]

DUDE.... IN NO WORLD WOULD ANYTHING SURVIVE THAT AMMOUNT OF FIREPOWER FROM A AK74

NO MATTER THE BULLET

[brisk zinc]

First of all, calm your caps

Second of all, if you don't like it, don't play it

[frosty mist]

there's a bullet power factor slider in the general settings, if you hate it so much just bump it up to 2x

[brisk zinc]

Thank you Choomah, I've had this conversation too many times to even care

[grizzled wharf]

I changed it to 3x

[frosty mist]

have you played Tarkov?

[grizzled wharf]

tbh people keep bringing it up though because its frankly annoying that its set up this way.... like simple basic mobs shouldnt take almost a mag to kill with a perfect condition gun

[tidal raft]

!ammo

[raw raft]

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

[grizzled wharf]

its demoralizing

[frosty mist]

i see no fault in it cause im using correct ammo for specific encounters

[grizzled wharf]

yeah but even when I use HP its terrible tbh man

now flesh takes 2 shots to kill

[orchid barn]

Sounds like your barrel is busted tbh

[frosty mist]

even in Tarkov if you dump 5-7 5.56 AP bullets in a hatchling he's still gonna live cause those bullets arent meants for flesh

[brisk zinc]

No, it's literally a YOU problem, since you're talking about "people", it's a YOU problem for them as well

The mod pack is made with a specific something in mind, this something can't please anyone, it's normal

If you don't like it, tough shit, remove it for yourself, use #🔨modded-gamma-support and ask how to do that, don't do it here
GAMMA is modular, you can do whatever you want

[pseudo salmon]

Buck and Hydrashock are very cheap at butcher and very good for mutants. I can kill a blood sucker with like 3-5 hyrdashock

[frosty mist]

use the search bar on the top right of Discord and type in your issue, im sure there's plenty of discussions and solutions for it

[brisk zinc]

Seriously people came in here just to spit shit instead of just understanding the problem

All because it's a realism problem, it's all go down to that, every time

"But in reality you can shoot one bullet and kill everything!!!"

It's a fucking game, wake up

[tidal raft]

It's finally time. The dark Falco rises.

[high remnant]

gamma is awesome and all the work that went into blowa my mind. very grateful, i love it. bit of positive feedback for a change 😉

[frosty mist]

gamma is not only awesome, its perfect

for me atleast

[high remnant]

yeah its the ultimate experience

[tidal raft]

Perfect is stretching it a little far. It's indeed good, but not yet perfected.

[brisk zinc]

Like I said it can't please anyone, like Maverick in this case

[grizzled wharf]

look man, my point is the MOD is tailored toward a MORE realistic playstyle, yet the gun play and damage isn't that realistic... TBH I LOVE GAMMA, I LOVE ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE MOD. but I wish there was some more work with the busted ballistics.

[brisk zinc]

@tidal raft take it away

This is your time to shine

[tidal raft]

[brisk zinc]

Throw in the realistic stuff

[frosty mist]

that's just not factually correct

[tidal raft]

You fucker.

[brisk zinc]

HERE'S THE MAGIC MOMENT

It's... anecdotal

[tidal raft]

#old-feedback-suggestions message

[frosty mist]

[tidal raft]

Adding to it.

[frosty mist]

the good ol' "It's just a game, why you hef to be mad"

[tidal raft]

It's wholly a problem of expectations.

[brisk zinc]

Yeah that's the thing

It's not "REAL"

It's "IMMERSIVE"

If it were real, then okay, one fucking bullet to your head, game over

But it isn't REAL

[frosty mist]

the funniest part is, you're talking realism in a game where mutants roam the map

[brisk zinc]

IKR?

Literally the only thing I said whenever everyone try to do the realism thing on me

"BUT MUH REALISM, MUH BULLETS IN HEAD!!!"
"Dude, a talking rock? Artefacts? EMISSIONS? You really wanna talk realism?"

[frosty mist]

I hope this satisfies as an answer Maverick

[brisk zinc]

He's probably gone

[tidal raft]

Anything from "no" to "begrudgingly".

[brisk zinc]

The day people will understand that Stalker isn't Tarkov...

It will be a good day

[frosty mist]

thank god it isnt, its better

imagine if he played original CoP on easy difficulty

[versed tusk]

🍿

[lunar harbor]

it is possible to obtain the PSZ-9d exoskeleton in game?

[worthy slate]

Hey what's a good base location? rn I have a bunch of stashes scattered about different places

[brisk zinc]

Any place you consider home

[lyric steeple]

this is my new favorite thing...

[brisk zinc]

No but seriously, it depends on what you want to do, what are you doing in that precise moment, how do you play

I use fast travel so I don't mind having everything in Cordon

But this is basically because I'm still in the southern part of the zone

[lunar harbor]

Falco is a cheater D:

[brisk zinc]

Just now I'm moving up

[brisk zinc]

Debug mode is enabled from GAMMA RC1, can't stop me

[worthy slate]

Yeah but i really perfer somewhere more central

[brisk zinc]

Rostok or Army Warehouse

[versed tusk]

AW is the place to be central

but if you are enemy with Freedom - Rostock

[tidal raft]

Yanov if you are going far north.

[minor bone]

hey did the player indicator on the mini map change? Wasnt it a yellow dot before or am I just imagining that?

[worthy slate]

Thanks, I guess I'll set up a main base somewhere in Army warehouses

[carmine wyvern]

Base in Dead City is based AF

....oh wait

[versed tusk]

second floor of main building has some nice rooms

or, as i always recommend - the wizard tower as it is the only place with fireworks

[tidal raft]

The Dead City staircases are a nightmare. It's almost always crowded.

[carmine wyvern]

true

thats why i have my 8 backpacks at the ground floor

[tidal raft]

I resort to jumping out the window if I ever need to go up to Aslan (for some reason).

[empty phoenix]

I just set up in that little corner with the lockers that's blocked off with crates

[carmine wyvern]

or the locker room on the 1st floor

[worthy slate]

I'll check that out

[carmine wyvern]

i'd set up in Skadovsk if i could

i love the vibe there

[versed tusk]

I need to extend my hideout in radar

just for fun

[carmine wyvern]

chads set up in generators

[empty phoenix]

Can poltergeists rearrange your furniture if they come in range

[carmine wyvern]

yep

[versed tusk]

the lamps maybe

[carmine wyvern]

same with burers

[shadow sapphire]

Yup and burers will try to murder you with it XD

[worthy slate]

seems nice, are there a couple of rooms or just that one?

[versed tusk]

I think 2 rooms useable upstairs

and many more buildings tbh

i chose that as its close to a mechanic

[lyric steeple]

love your windows TBH

[versed tusk]

and sometimes you need a quick file or ramrod

its a fast exit emergency window

[lyric steeple]

also, whats the storage size on those workbenches?

[versed tusk]

400 on the small blue and iirc 300 on benches

[carmine wyvern]

on my way to update

[versed tusk]

i split it for armor, guns and crafting

[carmine wyvern]

hopefully its all going well

[versed tusk]

[carmine wyvern]

🙏

[worthy slate]

Oh god, now i need to transport like 10 stashes worth of stuff to army warehouses

[lyric steeple]

[versed tusk]

we kinda took over this channel

oops

back to #╓☢stalker-chat

[carmine wyvern]

before falco comes in

[versed tusk]

[lyric steeple]

set a stash in army. go back to your base, fill yourself up to bust. and then fast travel to your stash.

[worthy slate]

wait wdym fast travel

[carmine wyvern]

Fast Travel to Stashes

[worthy slate]

bruh i didn't know that you could do that 💀

[carmine wyvern]

you can, but i disable it lmao

[shadow sapphire]

Right click the stash icon on minimap, you can also do the same for the green houses. It will cost you money, and by default has a 6 hour cooldown.

[lyric steeple]

you can fast travel to stashes, and any building with a dark green icon

[worthy slate]

fuck i thought the only method is like the guide guys

[lyric steeple]

ah ok

[north turret]

But if ya fill up with junk from your stash you gotta disable the weight restriction for fast travelling as well

[lyric steeple]

not for your stashes. by default, you can fast travel to your stashes encumber

d

[north turret]

Nice! I didn't know about that. Thanks!

[lyric steeple]

check your options, there is a section for fast travel, and its spit into normal fast travel and stash fast travel

[worthy slate]

Thank god i asked, because otherwise i would have to do 10 runs to bring it all to the army warehouses

[carmine wyvern]

this is the way

yall little loot goblins

[lyric steeple]

this should be an emote

[lyric steeple]

yes, and?

[worthy slate]

i mean playing tarkov and clear sky for 1000 each does that to a man

[carmine wyvern]

oh wait lmao

forgot which channel we in

do i need to set the Master Difficulty after every Gamma update ?

[shadow sapphire]

How is it set, I am unfamiliar

[carmine wyvern]

open console

type in difficulty

and then choose Master

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, my assumption would be yes then. Though I would have a assumed for an ongoing save no. But maybe one of the more experienced peeps has a definitive answer for you.

[north turret]

Reinstalled mags redux, disabled GAMMA unjam and reload addon and started a new game. i still cant reload with R, my character just inspects the weapon. what could be causing this?

[shadow sapphire]

Try F10

does that reload?

[carmine wyvern]

default for reloading is f10

....for some reason

[shadow sapphire]

Also if you want ammo checker that is a seperate addon

[versed tusk]

ye always have to rebind keys after

[carmine wyvern]

except if you do

!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

[carmine wyvern]

which hopefully works for me

[lyric steeple]

is there a ! command for the mag stuff. im interested in that. but dont want to break my game

[versed tusk]

i recommend doing a new profile too Vex

[brisk zinc]

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key
3. Enable Ammo Check
4. While in game, check your keybinds

[carmine wyvern]

you mean after migrating to 1.5.2

?

[versed tusk]

you can make one before

[lyric steeple]

thank you @brisk zinc you're a god damned MVP mate

[versed tusk]

i do it so i dont have to always reinstall and tick extra stuff i want

[carmine wyvern]

yea i did, i am interested to see if it still works

[tidal raft]

Maybe add a line about irreversible save file?

[versed tusk]

it kinda broke for me? like user.ltx and mcm vaules were there 50%

[brisk zinc]

I'm using mods from #🖇old-mods-posting and some additional stuff from Moddb, works everything

[brisk zinc]

You're right

[versed tusk]

only taking it out of an existing save is breaking the game, once its in, it stays for that save

[lyric steeple]

good to know

[brisk zinc]

!tag + Mags

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key
3. Enable Ammo Check
4. While in game, check your keybinds

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game.

[raw raft]

Tag "mags" successfully edited.

[carmine wyvern]

okay

set my mods

lets pepepray

everyything works flawlessly

fuck yeah

[pseudo salmon]

Once you get a multi-tool, is it cheaper to repair it instead of buying and using pocket knives?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

Repair it yourself with sharpening stones and kerosene.

[pseudo salmon]

ok thx

[lyric steeple]

good to know

is it kerosene or gas that is best for the fuel stove?

[tidal raft]

Both work equally well.

[brisk zinc]

It's something from a mod already inside GAMMA, you can reinstall the mod and choose it from there

Right click > reinstall

[minor bone]

oh nah its cool. I like it. I was just wondering if that happened

[heady field]

Hey. Asking stuff I want to be sure. As a Loner faction theres no more "Investigate/find documents from Labs-X[...] and Undergrounds" main tasks that was been given by Doc?

[pure scarab]

how do i make a backup of my configs??

for update

[steel forge]

is it possible that the stash given as a reward overwritten the reward from the rf reciver stuff?

[shadow sapphire]

!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

[shadow sapphire]

BUT user.ltx at a minimum WILL NOT work if going from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 Also the modlist probably will not work well.

[shadow sapphire]

Which RF reciever stuff? because the ones that are messages arent stashes, they are packages you pickup and open

[steel forge]

Oh damn

i forgot sorry

[pure scarab]

thanks bb

[tidal raft]

The add-on is disabled by default nowadays.

[heady field]

Cool thank you

[brisk zinc]

@shadow sapphire

Do me a favor

Send whatever command you want

[shadow sapphire]

Did I use the wrong command again XD?

[brisk zinc]

No

Just send one

[shadow sapphire]

!tag + read Are you sure you actually read the #old-how-to channel? It needs to be followed step by step.

[raw raft]

This server has restricted tag creation to mods.

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Why are you creating a command?

I said send

[shadow sapphire]

because I cant read

[brisk zinc]

Literally send 152

[shadow sapphire]

!152

[raw raft]

In order to update your Anomaly 1.5.1 to 1.5.2, follow this:

1. Download and extract the 1.5.2 update into the root of your Anomaly folder
2. Overwrite everything when asked to do so
3. Open the installer with admin rights
4. Click on Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA Installation

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Now, (try to) delete the message from gamma-bot

[shadow sapphire]

no option

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Test over

[shadow sapphire]

Oh see context woulda made that way faster lol

[brisk zinc]

People can't delete stuff from the bot, I'm sad

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I was half thinking about suggesting a channel that is literally for bot spam

i.e. Hey I need to use a bunch of commands because I dont want to read manual

[hollow moon]

so i updated gamma using the method for just the addons
and it still says 326 in my mo2
in this channel it says 331 active
am i missing something?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes you are

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

You don't necessarily need the mod list if you already have the number

In this case the only thing they can do is another full GAMMA install

[hollow moon]

uh

ohhhhh

so i guess im good? cause i just downloaded it however long ago it was when you helped me, im a tad bit lost

so every time it changes n the discord

[brisk zinc]

And you, try to use the correct channel please

[hollow moon]

i need too redownload it

i got ya im sorry guys

[shadow sapphire]

I feel like you just rapped us both on the head with a rolled up newspaper.

[brisk zinc]

#📍577-mods-in-mo2
This channel keep track of the active mods number

If your mod list don't have 331 mods, you're missing mods

[hollow moon]

wow uh

[brisk zinc]

Now, about your problem since you have 326 mods

You need to do this

!update

[raw raft]

In order to update your G.A.M.M.A. installation, YOU DON'T NEED TO DELETE ANYTHING, please AVOID in deleting something WITHOUT A GOOD REASON or at least ASK FIRST.

1. Open the installer with admin rights and make sure you have the newest version, which is 3.7. You can get it here if you don't have it: #📢announcements message
2. Click Update G.A.M.M.A. data, wait for it to say "done"
3. Choose between "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation" OR "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons". Before you ask, NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO CLICK THEM BOTH. ONLY ONE. AND NO YOU WON'T DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING AGAIN. If you're missing something in your mod list, you will, of course.

It really depends on WHAT DO YOU NEED and WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. So, if you don't know the difference, learn it here: #╭📖faq message
This is because MOST OF THE TIME, NOT ALWAYS, "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons" is what you need to do, but it really depends. You can click on "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation" if you haven't updated for a long time OR if you're missing mods.

Always keep an eye out on #📢announcements because Grok (the author of G.A.M.M.A.) will ALWAYS announce in #📢announcements if you need to do a "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation", because you don't need to do it every day.

[hollow moon]

ok so i need to do a full reinstall?! or can i update

ahhhh

[brisk zinc]

[hearty crown]

Anyone playing Gamma on windows 11? Was thinking about upgrading to 11 but if there is problems with Stalker ill hold back.

[brisk zinc]

@hollow moon The only thing you need to do right now is updating Anomaly to 1.5.2 and update GAMMA

[lyric steeple]

im on 11, and i have no issues

[shadow sapphire]

No issues for me

[brisk zinc]

!windows11

[raw raft]

If you have Windows 11, be sure to disable Bit Defender if you have it and be sure to update MO2 to the latest version, 2.4.4. Follow the passages in this pic: https://i.imgur.com/vG6SqwM.png

[brisk zinc]

You need to do this

Apart this, you can play it

[hollow moon]

im sad

[lyric steeple]

i have never played on anything other than win11. so if you are fresh 11. you should be good.

[hollow moon]

ahh ok thats not so bad

doing it now

[brisk zinc]

You might want to update Anomaly first and then GAMMA

[hollow moon]

ah ok got ya

[lyric steeple]

^^

[hearty crown]

Im just wondering about other programs like blender, gimp and modding with windows 11 also. Ill do some research on those first.

[hollow moon]

uh

[lyric steeple]

def not the channel for it, but 11 has been out for quite a while, i'd assume those types of programs would have solved issues by now.

[hollow moon]

in the moddb for 1.5.2 it says download ontop of a clean unmodded anomaly

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah ignore that

[lyric steeple]

yeah falco knows better

[hollow moon]

ahh ok ok so just download it and extract it too the same folder that my 1.5.1 is and overwrite everything.

seems easy enough

[lyric steeple]

yup

what could possibly go wrong! 🙂

[hollow moon]

lol dont say that now im scared

[lyric steeple]

haha

[hollow moon]

i know this may not be allowed here but i just dont want too mess up

but this is right? this is where i have mine, specifically for gamma

[lyric steeple]

looks right.

[lavish patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-mushroom-cloud-atomic-bomb-bomb-boom-gif-4464831

[hollow moon]

Ah ok I’ll proceed with caution I’m nervous. But will I need to start a new game?

[lyric steeple]

i didnt have to

[shadow sapphire]

no, save is compatible

[drowsy talon]

Quick question, is anyone else having difficulty with the YACS not working on the current update?

[hollow moon]

YESSSS!!

[shadow sapphire]

Known bug

Will be patched in next update

[drowsy talon]

Ah sweet, thank you!!!

[hoary cedar]

hey hey

how can i drive a car?

using wasd doesn't work

[minor star]

You need to start up the engine using your detector key

[hoary cedar]

okay this is awesome

thanks!

[hollow moon]

it hasnt asked me to over write anything yet

[shadow sapphire]

And its extracting?

[hollow moon]

yeah i paused it though

[lyric steeple]

oo

no you should be fine

[hollow moon]

it just started it without asking me

if i wanted too overwrite anything

[lyric steeple]

im going to guess its extracting to a folder inside of the anomoly folder

finish extracting.

[hollow moon]

ok it finished

nothing happened

[lyric steeple]

when you are done, grab everything iinside the new folder, and drop it into the anomoly folder.

did you tell it to extract to a location? or just to extract?

[hollow moon]

i clicked on this twice

[lyric steeple]

LOL

yeah ok

[hollow moon]

lmfaoo

[lyric steeple]

so in that last one.

grab everything.

[hollow moon]

right right

[lyric steeple]

and move that to your normal anomoly folder

[hollow moon]

copy and paste into the first one with the anomaly launcher?

[lyric steeple]

yup

[hollow moon]

uh including the note?

at the bottom of the folders?

[lyric steeple]

just grab it all

[hollow moon]

ok it asked me too replace files in the destination and i did

[lyric steeple]

perfect!

[hollow moon]

ahh niceee

ok so now close and

open the gamma installer and

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

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

[versed tusk]

it aint working on condition

[south jungle]

ah yes, gamma is aimed to make you actually craft/repair things by yourself

[versed tusk]

see the "worn barrel" and the stats exactly show you what happens too

[south jungle]

that said, kinda feels like an oversight?

[verbal halo]

so I paid 14k to mech for nothing ?

[versed tusk]

yes

#│📚manual

[verbal halo]

😄

anyways thx

[south jungle]

well no, he did clean your weapon fully

you would have needed to spend a bunch of resources on doing that

[verbal halo]

now how can I find new barrels cuz every weapon AI drop is badly damaged

[south jungle]

not every

There is a chance a weapon drops with some component in decent condition. Parts with 60% condition or more can be repaired to 100%

[versed tusk]

#╭📖faq message

just for good measure

kill, loot, repair, repeat - thats the core loop

[verbal halo]

k will try

[south jungle]

one thing to mention

[verbal halo]

go on...

[south jungle]

if you wound an enemy (they fall to the ground and scream in pain) there is a chance they will surrender to you, and that you can "convince" them to part with their weapons (and stash coordinates). Weapons obtained that way are in a better condition overall and have a larger chance to get you good parts

a very easy way to do this is hit low level unarmored bandits with a single 9x18 FMJ to the head

[verbal halo]

I'm playing as a bandit so

loner would be good

[south jungle]

then do that to low level unarmored loners, clear sky, whoever

[worthy slate]

how can one get fat stacks of money

[versed tusk]

farm missions

sell the right thing at the right trader

farm more missions

[willow hawk]

Loot and sell stuff

weapon attachments are a very good source of money

also, tasks, and artefacts in the long run

[pure scarab]

question i am on the hip quest for the artefacts, how do i change it to the new one?

or does it change automaticaly or new save?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly a good question. I dont know exactly how Anomaly stores tasks the character has. I would wait on update until you get an answer from someone with more knowledge.

[blissful heart]

I checked up on the modlist and the manual. Didn't find any useful information for my question. What I'm concerned with is the night mutants addon. It's an additional version of the dynamic mutants mod (which is a must-have-mod to me), but due to the lack of information provided on the mod pages, I can't tell if night mutants is a bare bones version of dynamic mutants or if it functions more like an add-on patch to the original version.

The specific feature that's a stickling point for me is
"- On account that it adds (appropriate) mutants on locations, that are usually sparsely-populated or even empty, (but they should have something there).

• And it also adds some additional, predator mutants, (if they are left enabled).
  Of course, locations that need to be more quiet and more deserted, are."

This essentially overhauls labs+ruins+wilderness by carefully adding mutant variety in a way the maps were originally designed to accommodate, and makes those locations way scarier. I have no way to tell if the night version or even if the gamma night version accomplishes the same things or even has the same creatures.

[pure scarab]

oh dont worry friend, the zone has no shortage of mutants, and bork borks noms noms

[shadow sapphire]

Easy, and fast answer. No it does not do what you are talking about. BUT there may be other parts of GAMMA that do some of it. I can say only that the xlabs so far seems fairly standard. Mutant spawns are different than vanilla though. In terms of additional mutants, there are some but nothing insanely new.

[orchid barn]

@worthy slate Can confirm:

[minor bone]

Hey, anyone know how to re lock MO2?

[shadow sapphire]

It should lock/unlock when the game is running

[blissful heart]

alright well that seems to be my primary hurdle for getting a proper creature horror survival experience. Getting additional mutants with patches for popular packs or addons seems impossible so I kinda hoped gamma would have done it. But it seems there's more of an EFT focus here, more feature, less creature.

[minor bone]

I unlocked it because I wanted to know the name of a certain mod. Just curious if I can re lock it instead of exiting the game and reentering '

[shadow sapphire]

I wouldnt say thats a valid assessment. GAMMA is more take what the anomaly devs gave, and turn up the survival aspect, then just general polish.

[minor bone]

I probably cant. Looked around and it doesnt look like it 😦 Oh well

[brisk zinc]

Click on the X while you're playing, top right

It will lock

[shadow sapphire]

Is that a troll, I almost feel like thats a troll. But its probably not.

[blissful heart]

the entire selling point of gamma is that it's a "modular modpack with extensive compatibility between supported mods" ... That's exactly what you call a general polish. Aside from that, "more of an EFT focus here, more feature, less creature." seems to be a very valid assessment, especially if the intention is to enhance 'the intended gamma experience' ((which is a joke because original gamma is a terribly unbalanced frankenstein of an experiment that literally requires mods to achieve any kind of experience better than a fallout game))

[worthy slate]

what's with the armor drops, I killed a good 10 mercs in army warehouses and no armor, like at all

[shadow sapphire]

I dont believe armor is that common especially for anything above trench coats in my experience. I believe it also depends on your progression state in relation to the enemy.

[shadow sapphire]

We all, have our own opinions and are entitled to them. Hope you find what you are looking for.

[worthy slate]

The only decent armor that I found is the CS-3b in a stash, but I don't have a heavy armor repair kit

[shadow sapphire]

Which faction are you, where are you spending your time, and what rank are you?

[worthy slate]

I haven't joined a faction so lone stalker, everywhere basically, and wdym rank?

[brisk zinc]

I'm serious, MO2 is locked when you play, there is a little window that says "unlock"

[shadow sapphire]

That is such a weird way to relock it. closing mo2 relocks?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, because you're not actually closing MO2, you're locking it again

[shadow sapphire]

Im so honestly confused at who that that was good ux.

[hasty lantern]

!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

[brisk zinc]

Locking it as in "when you close the game, MO2 close as well", IIRC
But you can lock it that way

[shadow sapphire]

Rank is in your PDA on your little board, Rookie - Experienced - etc. Below your name I believe

[minor bone]

when you use the ammo selector to load in Slugs, does it automatically continue to load slugs after the weapon is empty? Is there a way to check what kind of ammo I currently have loaded into my weapon? (I dont have mags addon).

[shadow sapphire]

As long as you have more slugs yes, and you can pull up the ammo wheel which ever one is highlighted is what is being loaded or currently in the gun, mostly... If you only had lets say 4 slugs on a 8 round shotty I believe it will load the extra 4 with buckshot, but it only works that way with shotguns I believe.

[brisk zinc]

It should be like that but I'm not 100% sure

I've read something about it

Like you have 4 Slugs and 4 AP

And your gun can shoot 8 bullets

It will load all 8 of them

[shadow sapphire]

I had to test it, because who would do that lol. But at least in 2.4.4 it does not relock mo2 infact it asks you to close anomaly.

[minor bone]

ok interesting. So say that I have depleted my 12 rounds of slugs and I have 2 left in my inventory.... will it load those two first and then whatever is next? Like what if I have AP? Will it load whatever AP I have and then on to Buckshot? Now I am super curious

[worthy slate]

Rookie

[willow hawk]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

Correct except it appears to switch to the more colsest ammo match first, i.e if slugs, then onto buck shot. If AP slugs, then onto slugs.

or it might just default to whatever the "standard ammo" is.

[minor bone]

ok cool!

[shadow sapphire]

But typically whatever is highlighted in the ammo wheel is what you are shooting.

[minor bone]

alright cool. I actually didnt know that it displayed that in the wheel so I never bothered to check it like that. But now I will

[pure scarab]

where do i start doctor.X?

[pure scarab]

the task updates, i just launched my game and checked

[shadow sapphire]

Haha, hey thanks!

[pure scarab]

why i dont see anymore M4's? or LR300??

[shadow sapphire]

What do you mean?

[pure scarab]

i killed a good amount of mercs and none of them had M4's or any other NATO weapon that isnt a bullpup

how do u enter the trainyard building?

[wanton barn]

Anyone know what the ‘Knot’ attifact actually does?

[terse sun]

knot turns you into a savage

[versed tusk]

try from above - i wont say more

[shadow sapphire]

What does the description say?

[shadow sapphire]

I mostly find augs and G36 on mercs to be honest.

[terse sun]

that's funny because I mostly find L85s and augs, recently even dropped an aug commando

[knotty storm]

Is there a key to show the weapon inspect of a weapon you get when you acquire for the first time ?

[wanton barn]

The perk is ‘Deal with the Devil’ and is a bit vague with its effects

[terse sun]

this artefact is literally a gamechanger

also, saving the game is really highly recommended before activation

[north turret]

But you'll need to feed it. Imagine it like a parasite.

[shadow sapphire]

Ah. Yeah that one. Save the game and find out lol

[wanton barn]

I saved before activating it a bit ago, reloaded it to show the artifact, but when I did I got an evil laugh sound before the artifact disappeared

[terse sun]

yes

because it transformed into lucifer artefact

and is now permanently bound to your belt slot

[wanton barn]

It never turned into Lucifer unfortunately, my belt slot was just empty for some reason

[terse sun]

it's actually the most powerful artefact in the zone, besides the fact you constantly need to feed it or you die

hmm, maybe it's different in gamma (never tried this artefact in this modpack), but given the same description of knot as in other modpacks, it should act the same way

unless something is broken

[pure scarab]

yeah, i want my M4 back 😦

[shadow sapphire]

It shouldnt be messed up to my knowledge. @brisk zinc ?

[brisk zinc]

?

[shadow sapphire]

Hmm…

[worthy slate]

Is the graphite stalker suit worth repairing?

It's the only decent one i found

[shadow sapphire]

Hold LCTL and mouse over, if you send a pic of the stats I can take a look

[terse sun]

I'd say graphite is only decent for early miracle machine quest if you don't happen to find a better suit for psychic res

[shadow sapphire]

What are you currently wearing because that looks basically identical, 1kg carry weight more, but less speed.

[terse sun]

i got lucky right now though, dropped an ACE scientific suit in wild territory

[pure scarab]

does anyone here also uses the trader overhaul with gamma?

[worthy slate]

The problem is mine is currently completely busted

[shadow sapphire]

If they did it wouldnt be in the vanilla channel.

[brisk zinc]

!to

[raw raft]

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

[shadow sapphire]

But you need to fix them up either way

[wanton barn]

Ok, I pulled up the console and found out the ‘Lucifer’ artifact isn’t with the other artifacts but in the quest items tab. Makes sense for the inability to drop it, though I also noted it’s effects without any need of adding it to my inventory oddly enough

Think I’ll pass on taking that deal with the devil though lol

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmmm maybe a missing icon?

[pure scarab]

yeah only one complain, bartender sells lvl 3 PDA on lvl 5 supply

[terse sun]

it's one of those deals, very good benefit but annoying drawbacks

saying this, if you're artefact hunting a lot, you should be able to sustain it probably

[brisk zinc]

Why should I care?

As in, it's not something used in GAMMA

You'll have to deal with it

[wanton barn]

It does indeed have an icon, simply an error in putting it in the inventory/showing it perhaps

[brisk zinc]

Here, learn how to take a screen, please

!screen

[raw raft]

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

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

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, if you see it again for any reason lol, let us know

[worthy slate]

what about this one?

[lyric steeple]

Dayum thats powerful

[wanton barn]

It is, but some HEAVY drawbacks too

Gotta keep feeding it constantly

Gonna see what happens when I feed it a death Lamp lol

[lyric steeple]

what percent a day does it go down?

[shadow sapphire]

Personally I would fix the CS2t before the graphite. BUT the graphite will probably be more doable, if you are just starting out, as 3 of the parts in it can be gotten from basically any armor, and the 4th from most armors.

[pure scarab]

i mean if u put it like that

[carmine wyvern]

If I pick up Lucifer by accident I cant get rid of it?

[terse sun]

you can't pick lucifer

you have to first put knot on your belt slot

[carmine wyvern]

Ahh

[terse sun]

and yes once you activate it, it's permanent

[brisk zinc]

Read the other stuff, I explain what I mean with that

[worthy slate]

nah i got like 11 stashes full of stuff

[carmine wyvern]

Does Seraphim have cool abilities too?

[pure scarab]

yeah i am still deciding on what armour to repair next, i have a SEVA suit but dont know if i want to go for that yet

[carmine wyvern]

I found a broken Merc STS Suit

Its pretty decent but requires a Heavy Repairkit

But its 13kgs :(

[pure scarab]

i do get it, but like its an optional mod, like YACS, mags redux.... shouldnt it atleast offer basic support?

[wanton barn]

Also, can confirm sacrificing Death Lamp to Lucifer makes big boom

[carmine wyvern]

It has a chance to kill you doesnt it?

[terse sun]

I use this armor, nice one

[terse sun]

yes, it can explode on you if you overchare it with death lamp

[pure scarab]

no it wont kill u, it will just make sure that u have to reload the game

[terse sun]

well it will if you're ironman 🙂

[carmine wyvern]

Can you post the Tooltip of the Death Lamp?

[terse sun]

this is not an ironman artefact for death lamping

[pure scarab]

yeah dont use an death lamp on ironman, or ur have iron balls

[wanton barn]

It’s simply a game changing artifact, Knot/Lucifer that is

[shadow sapphire]

If you can, the cs2t is the better of the 2 IMO others may disagree.

[terse sun]

the 50% dmg redux is mega cool though, chimeras better watch out from lucifers

[worthy slate]

yeah I'll prolly repair it then

[terse sun]

but how do you have 11 stashes worth of stuff and only found this suit so far 😄

that's the mystery

[shadow sapphire]

But because I want you to learn, and not just copy. Can you guess at why I feel that the CS2t is the better?

[terse sun]

is ace still the best seva suit in gamma? or are there higher tiers now too?

[worthy slate]

3 belt slots?

[shadow sapphire]

The graphite has several to. But honestly not a bad guess, belt slots are very important. Really for me its that the CS2t has far better anomaly protection, extremely better carry weight, and basically same ballistic. Most importantly for you being still in the early stages, very good radiation, since if I remember you dont have the best helmet.

[terse sun]

the best early helmet is a PPM-88 gas mask and that's only good for about 35% rad resist, which will save you from the weaker radiation patches, but you will get pumped with rads anywhere northern of wild territory

[worthy slate]

I have the ACH-7EX headgear set

Vodka got me covered

[terse sun]

go to red forest for starters and tell me how much vodka you drank 😄

[worthy slate]

bet

[worthy slate]

is that the yellow gas mask?

[terse sun]

nah it's the "regular" one

no idea how to explain

[carmine wyvern]

Sweet Jesus

[terse sun]

super cool, and I'm a loner, could be good for sneaking up to them or passing merc base to go to limansk

[worthy slate]

Oh yeah got one of those

[carmine wyvern]

I have to decide between the Sphere-12 and the GzP-10 Gas Mask

[terse sun]

the sphere is cool

well, both are cool

[carmine wyvern]

Sphere was my go to in Anomaly

[terse sun]

depends on the radioactivity in where you're going

for me it's always spartan, but this will be quite fun to get in gamma

that or apocalypse/exohelm

[carmine wyvern]

Did you do the Barrier yet?

[terse sun]

no not yet, waiting to get expert tools (kinda unlucky up north) so I can repair my VS Val and start smashing the barrier

[carmine wyvern]

Cuz the Barrier is SOO good for high tier loot

[pure scarab]

guys remember to keep this channel on topic

I was about to ask what are some good ways to get money early-game

But then I saw the mission payouts and was like "damn okay"

[lyric steeple]

also, kill mutants and sell the parts/meat to butcher

[lime whale]

I'm pretty stocked on cash but now the question is, where should I go to get better gear? Just follow the "main quest"? I started as a Loner in Cordon

[lyric steeple]

as you complete quests, you will "progress" and folks you kill will start having better gear

gear that you can repair/upgrade

[lime whale]

Ah cool, good to know. So when it comes to acquiring guns for instance, I'd want to stockpile a few guns with decent parts and then scavenge parts and put them in a single gun?

[lyric steeple]

disassemble guns you are not going to want.

[lime whale]

I can buy parts from technicians I think

[lyric steeple]

you can get parts from guns.

for armor, keep all the parts. anything over 50 can be repaired, anything under 50 can be used for crafting.

for gun, most everything can be upgraded/swapped.

@lime whale #╭📖faq message start here, and scroll down.

some of this can bee seen in #│📚manual or in the manual in your PDA

[lime whale]

Thanks! I should probably read the PDA manual at some point, I got a bit bogged down by a lot of other info that I already knew

[lyric steeple]

the weapon/gun upgrade stuff is straight forward. IF you know what you are doing.

those two large images are SUPER usefull

[rocky crane]

Okay so I've got a quest called 'Night Terror' that I got from Sultan. Requires me to kill mutants (Which I assume are nocturnal, so I'm waiting in the area at night) but every time I head to the marked spot I don't get any indication that there is mutants there OR that they wandered off (There isn't any marker on the map for an unknown target)

Any ideas?

[shadow sapphire]

First search around you are looking for blood/psy suckers and more than 1. Check the whole village. If that doesnt work, you can F7, and I believe its the object spawner that lets you spawn mobs, if you scroll the the list you are looking for the one called bloodsucker special task squad or something like that, spawn them in and good luck because they will be ON you.

[buoyant stump]

@lime whale also if there is a gun you really want to use but has shit parts you can still fix it, though it will cost more resources

[rocky crane]

There was one that was there but the other seemed to have just kinda. ran off cause it was being attacked by blind dogs

[lime whale]

Thanks, those images are pretty helpful

I'll have to re-read the one for armor some time

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah kinda what happened to me, spent 2 nights searching the zone looking for the coward, never found him and had to spawn them manually.

[rocky crane]

Thank god I got debug mode on for this exact reason lol

[lyric steeple]

armor is a bit simpler to deal with. but also different from guns

[shadow sapphire]

It will complete as soon as you murder the spawns. Tested it myself by force lol.

WAIT

Shit. You have a different one. My brain auto went to night of terror for the freedom bros. Let me find the right squad for you @rocky crane

However that might be a dynamic task, so you may just have to console complete or ditch the task, let you know in a moment.

[rocky crane]

No no

It was number 2

I just went through until it worked

All the bloodsuckers just ran into anomalies and fucking died.

[shadow sapphire]

Glad it worked!

[shadow sapphire]

Thats how mine broke lol. He died to an anomaly. Literally he spawned took 2 freaking steps, and died. Which caused his buddy to run away.

specifically it happens about 10 times when getting close to rookie village. for 10-20 seconds each

Under the bridge?

That one is normal

You'll need to change the date in this mod: G.A.M.M.A. Alife optimization
Go inside here: gamedata/configs/alife.ltx and change the date with 26/10/2018

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key
3. Enable Ammo Check
4. While in game, check your keybinds

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game.

@brisk zinc How about that bot spam channel?

[brisk zinc]

We should say every little bit "use the channel for commands"

[alpine sleet]

so far so good, gg brother man

[terse sun]

guys, HBAO vs SSDO, what do you like to run?

[brisk zinc]

It depends on the GPU afaik

HBAO should be for Nvidia

[terse sun]

yeah I know, was just wondering which shader works best with this modpack

[crude oyster]

i've got that weird black screen bug with my new game. i did the gradient_warm config run but that didn't fix it, and none of the shader based scopes or important mods were accidentally disabled. happens on both the DX11 and DX11 AVX versions im running. is there something else i can do? i have no issues crashing the game runs fine but my character is apparently blind apart from hud UI elements

!missingmods

[raw raft]

Follow this guide if you're missing one or more mods: #╭📖faq message

Explaining WHY you're missing something from the mod list:

Moddb isn't really suited for the installer, it's not that much ordinary to download 300+ mods casually every other day, so you can lose some files in the process, when you download them.
MO2 can't obviously know if you have everything or not. This is because, if the file structure of the mod is "okay", the mod is "okay".
Anomaly, on the other hand knows right away that something is wrong, because it has to look for certain files in certain mods, and if those files are not there, the game crashes.

[shadow sapphire]

BaS

[dense cargo]

best vendor for nato/5.56?

[terse sun]

I swear I read somewhere in gamma discord not to use other AO than SSDO but I might be just halucinating

[rocky crane]

Mercs at max relations

Or really any NATO faction. Mercs is just the first that comes to mind.

[orchid barn]

Clear Sky (Great Swamps), Freedom (Army Warehouses), and Mercenaries (Dead City) are your main NATO factions. Go with whoever you have the most goodwill with

[wooden zodiac]

Why does everything look white? What did I do?

[brisk zinc]

Try this first

!cache

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[wooden zodiac]

didnt work

[pure scarab]

like imma ask it here becuse i dunno if its a bug or not, did anyone had a normal artefact spawn not in an anomaly field?

[quiet rock]

oh sorry, this isn't the place for that?

to use bot commands i mean

[crude oyster]

ah thats right, i forgot about the shader cache

[brisk zinc]

Artefacts can move

It can happen

[brisk zinc]

He was basically saying "we should create a channel just for bot commands, in order to avoid people using them everywhere"

[brisk zinc]

The second guide have at least three things to do

I don't believe you've done them all

[quiet rock]

oh

[polar fulcrum]

Good way to make money mid to late game ?

Already sell mutant parts to el butcherino

[brisk zinc]

Quests

Sell how you call them

[terse sun]

quests+mutant parts+scopes

[brisk zinc]

Attachments

Scopes

[terse sun]

scopes and silencers sell for A TON of money

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Sell them

[terse sun]

also weapon and outfit parts

sell those under 60%

[brisk zinc]

weapon

Right

[polar fulcrum]

What about artifacts ??

[wooden zodiac]

No need to doubt me, I did all three still didnt work

[brisk zinc]

Even the full install? In five seconds? I highly doubt that

[terse sun]

mostly they sell for shit and you're better off using them with the artefact melter to craft higher tier ones

[wooden zodiac]

Full install? It just said to do the update

Did I cklick the wrong thing?

[brisk zinc]

Read again

And I swear I didn't change it now

[wooden zodiac]

Oh yeah. Ok let me try that. Nono I believe you

Apologies, I didnt see it

[brisk zinc]

@wooden zodiac

Are you on Anomaly 1.5.2?

[wooden zodiac]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Okay perfect

Try to do that then

[wooden zodiac]

this is a screenshot of what im dealing with, loads of white

[terse sun]

what is this, garbaggio? my game looks nothing like this and it's 100% vanilla 😄

[brisk zinc]

Looks like a shader problem

[onyx ivy]

Hey guys I reset the controls to default without thinking (Like an idiot) and they've defaulted back to original stalker controls.

Anyway to get the control scheme back without having to manually set them?

[terse sun]

open installer and update gamma data

afaik

[onyx ivy]

Tried that and did a full install as well

[terse sun]

this should 100% reset controls too

it does for me everytime

[north turret]

Is it normal for my character to run more fast then everything in the game?

[onyx ivy]

Ah it has, just not the long hold for L to turn on Laser

and the shift/ alt for RF receiver, looks like only the alt aren't working

Ah

Clicking reset in controls menu fixes that

[onyx ivy]

Thanks for the help

[wooden zodiac]

nope still didnt work. I tried all the steps including the full installation

[obtuse berry]

how do you switch between your side scope and main scope on guns?

[shadow sapphire]

Send your xray log

!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.

[wooden zodiac]

there you go

[light garnet]

Is it just me or does the zone seem to not have as many stalkers as before?

[wooden zodiac]

Anomaly has signifigantly less than CoTZ or COC from what I have noticed

[terse sun]

oh believe me, there's plenty

just leave the population the way it is, the higher north you go the crazier it gets

[light garnet]

I feel escape from Pripyat had significantly more roaming around but maybe it’s just me and I don’t pay attention idk

[terse sun]

efp has more patrols because it uses a patrol mod

[shadow sapphire]

Did they ask you for a mod list?

[wooden zodiac]

What do you mean @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[light garnet]

@terse sun is their a way I could install the patrol mod?

[wooden zodiac]

I dont have any mods installed other than what is in GAMMA by default

[terse sun]

no idea, nor do I honestly believe it's necessary, there really is plenty of fighting in gamma

and the world is pretty alive, also I think there is a sort of an npc+mutants progression in gamma, related to rank or something

because the higher I rank up and gear up, the crazier the zone is becoming

or at least it feels so

[shadow sapphire]

Great, I still need to see the list please .

[light garnet]

That would make sense

[shadow sapphire]

And also how are you launching the game?

[terse sun]

red forest for example, I'm regularly having to deal with 2 or more pseudogiants (even at the same time), mixed with controllers, chimeras, it's chaos and it really fits the place

[wooden zodiac]

Ok im getting it. I launch it through MO2 the GAMMA shortcut it created for me

[terse sun]

and that's @ stock population settings

[wooden zodiac]

That right ^

[light garnet]

I don’t really adventure the red forest much unless I have a quest

[shadow sapphire]

Did you at somepoibt move your anomaly/gamma?

[terse sun]

weirdly enough, RF is my absolute favorite place

[wooden zodiac]

Yes I moved it from my regular hard drive to the SSD so it would load faster

is that a no no?

[light garnet]

My favorite place is probably the rookie village area

[shadow sapphire]

No that's fine, if you did it properly. Can you send a screen shot of the exes in mo2?

[wooden zodiac]

sure give me a sec

this?

[shadow sapphire]

Hit the blue and green setting wheel, click on the anomalydx11avx.exe and screenshot that smaller window it opens that has file paths

[wooden zodiac]

This one?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

Thank you. Last two screenshots. (Sorry if it's annoying) can you take a screenshot of both the base GAMMA folder and the Base Anomaly folder?

[wooden zodiac]

Nono thank you I appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me with this

Let me see...

These?

(the bottom part of the GAMMA folder)

[shadow sapphire]

Well I have good news and bad news. Good news: Easy fix. Bad news: update anomaly to 1.5.2 and do a full install.

[wooden zodiac]

What went wrong?

oh my god i see it

1.5.1.2 not 1.5.2...how did I mess that up?

[shadow sapphire]

You are not on anomaly 1.5.2 for some reason instead of crashing like most others, yours is basically launching in vanilla almost none of the mods are loading which is why it's all white. No shaders.

[wooden zodiac]

Im bad with numbers really really bad

[shadow sapphire]

!152

[raw raft]

In order to update your Anomaly 1.5.1 to 1.5.2, follow this:

1. Download the 1.5.2 update: (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads/stalker-anomaly-151-to-152)
2. Extract the update into the root of your Anomaly folder
3. Overwrite everything when asked to do so
4. Open the installer with admin rights
5. Click on Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA Installation

[obtuse berry]

how do you turn on lasers on weapons? thanks

[shadow sapphire]

Hold L

[shadow sapphire]

No worries

[wooden zodiac]

Ah man this is what I get failing math 3 times. I swear something about numbers...im good at attention to detail in literally any other scenario but numbers its like my brain goes to static

[shadow sapphire]

I feel that sometimes my man!

[wooden zodiac]

@shadow sapphire Ok so I had the relivant anomaly files still on the PC so I extracted them and did the update but the things I remember doing this earlier today, I definitley did it earlier but the thing is it doesn't change the name of the folder to 1.5.2 even though I put the files where they belong.

So I think I had the 1.5.2 but I just didnt rename the folder...am I missing something?

[shadow sapphire]

It's not going to rename the folder, but there are certain files that appear that you didn't have. Honestly the fact that your entire anomaly folder has a date modified of today is also very weird. Is this a fresh clean anomaly folder?

[wooden zodiac]

Yes it is clean.

Let me show you what each folder contains when freshly extracted

Give me a few minutes I need to extract them again

[shadow sapphire]

I don't need to see every folder.

[wooden zodiac]

I just don't understand what files could be missing

[shadow sapphire]

Give me a few minutes got three channels going. And I need to look at what I have for you again just to make sure I'm not confusing cases

[wooden zodiac]

Ok thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Did you at any point in trying to fix this click verify files on the launcher? (Don't do it now)

[brisk zinc]

Even if you do that it's not really a problem, it doesn't mess up anything

Anomaly throws errors because you're using modified stuff and not the regular stuff

That's why you use MO2 for GAMMA and not the launcher

[wooden zodiac]

No I did not, I never opened the regular anomaly launcher with GAMMA

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah but it's very odd to me that all his anomaly folders have date modified of today.

So I was curious

[wooden zodiac]

Maybe I ought to download fresh folders from online?

[shadow sapphire]

Did you unpack your anomaly files? And I don't mean extract to install it. But using the unpacker?

[brisk zinc]

The Anomaly folder looks vanilla to me

[wooden zodiac]

What does that mean? I extract it using winrar

[brisk zinc]

I don't think he did the extra mile just to unpack stuff without any reasons

And in fact

He didn't

Have you updated to 1.5.2?

[wooden zodiac]

Yes I did

[brisk zinc]

That's the reason then

[wooden zodiac]

But Larkin said my files were missing some 1.5.2 files

[shadow sapphire]

The log is like half vanilla half gamma. It's so weird. It's literally calling the effects and such for dx and the shader, then it starts to call scripts but literally calls 2. Also the 1.5.2 update doesn't change the modified date.

And no errors, it just stops running gamma basically.

[brisk zinc]

Ah, hm

331 mods?

[shadow sapphire]

Other than faction price error which whatever

[brisk zinc]

Yeah that error is omnipresent

[shadow sapphire]

Yup modlist is good, he's launching from mo2, exes are correct.

For path*

Honestly the literal only thing that is weird is he doesn't have the changes151-152 in his folder, his date modified are literally all today.

[wooden zodiac]

The little text file?

I didnt copy that over I thought it wasnt important

[shadow sapphire]

It's not

[brisk zinc]

At this point he could try to backup his saves from the Anomaly folder, delete the folder and extract everything again, just for Anomaly

I also suggest to create an exception in the antivirus for Anomaly and GAMMA, this could be the problem since he's missing files, Defender likes to delete stuff without telling you anything

[wooden zodiac]

I turned antivirus off altogether for this

[terse sun]

extract with 7zip, winrar is known to cause issues with decompressing

[shadow sapphire]

Ffs

[wooden zodiac]

I already tried tha deleting the anomaly folder altogether.

[shadow sapphire]

@brisk zinc I'll get that read command out of you one day

[wooden zodiac]

I can try extracting the anomaly folder with 7zip, I already did the gamma folder wiuth 7 zip

[terse sun]

can't hurt at least

[brisk zinc]

Welcome to my world, this is nothing, believe me

[shadow sapphire]

Follow this exact order, do not use winrar delete all of anomaly (if you have save files and want to keep them, back them up)

Download a new anomaly copy from the link in #old-how-to same with the 1.5.2 patch.

Extract anomaly to your root, launch
the game, close it, extract the patch to the anomaly folder. Make sure you uncheck the box below the file path. Replace all or overwrite all whichever.

[wooden zodiac]

Ok ill start the download now

[shadow sapphire]

Oh I'm sure lol.

[soft niche]

why my settings being reset after updateing gamma????

[terse sun]

because it resets user settings

[shadow sapphire]

!backup
