"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

What exactly is the difference between low-tier and high-tier meat other than the temperature?

[shadow sapphire]

The temperature? What?

But to answer your question the buffs and nutrition it provides when cooked

[graceful iron]

the stats they provide

[wooden zodiac]

@shadow sapphire Ok it is done, I booted it after installing the patch too just to ensure the version and in the bottom corner it says '1.5.2'

[oak vine]

It says in the quide high tier neess higher temperature lol

[brisk zinc]

It's about fuel

The first tier only use coal or you can directly use the campfire
The second tier only use gasoline and kerosene

[graceful iron]

its just fuel and cooking kits

[shadow sapphire]

Oh wow. I never read that lol.

I knew it just didn't put 2 and 2 together.

[graceful iron]

flavor text descriptions. nothing new

[shadow sapphire]

Shhhhhhh don't let out that I don't like to read flavor text.

[worthy slate]

I've been wondering for a while, but is a melee build viable?

[brisk zinc]

If you can directly get your hands on something that makes you invincible when you start the game, probably

Or if you can dodge bullets, probably

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on your definition of viable. Can you do it yes, can you beat the game yes, will you hate your life, decisions, the game, and lose hope, also yes.

[graceful iron]

realistically doing the entire storyline or progressing through the zone with only melee is not really viable

[brisk zinc]

Define how can he do it

[shadow sapphire]

No campfire and alot of f5 and f9.

[graceful iron]

[worthy slate]

bet

[soft niche]

for some reason i had camp fire saving turned off, after updating its turned on and i can change it in game

[brisk zinc]

Known bug

We'll tell Grok about it when he wake up

[soft niche]

what should i do?

[worthy slate]

after i get the hang of the game i'll record a run with only melee weapons

[brisk zinc]

For now, disable the mod in the mod list

YACS

[shadow sapphire]

If you somehow pull this off you better mention me in your speech. Or if you end up breaking your pc out of anger, I had nothing to do with this.

[graceful iron]

wait. whats the issue?

i thought it was already fixed

[brisk zinc]

The last update break YACS

[graceful iron]

[shadow sapphire]

Remember how you could save anywhere with yacs, well the fix was apparently someone just reversed the problem.

[soft niche]

also

i turned of grulags dead brush and i still do not have *** g r e e n***

still brown

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure I've updated after that specific update, because I didn't even saw it, and in fact, I can't save anywhere
I had to disable the mod

[brisk zinc]

!deadzone

[raw raft]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Tbf, you can no longer save away from the campfire, so the fix was succesful.

[graceful iron]

technically correct...

[brisk zinc]

I don't think so

[shadow sapphire]

The best kind.

[brisk zinc]

The fix is surely about the MCM setting

You can disable the mod directly in game

Now you can't

It's not technically correct

[shadow sapphire]

I know. I was making a joke about yesterday we were waiting for a patch to fix the fact that yacs would let you save anywhere. That patch ended up making it ignore mcm. Thus yesterday's problem was fixed

[brisk zinc]

And I know Larkin was joking but I have to sleep and okay_cat knows what time is it

[graceful iron]

go sleep then

[wooden zodiac]

Sooooo what do I do now?

[shadow sapphire]

Lol ok. Go sleep!

[brisk zinc]

Play the game?

[shadow sapphire]

So we have anomaly all good to go now?

[wooden zodiac]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly is on 1.5.2, he checked

He can play if he have 331 mods 🤞

[soft niche]

the *** g r e e n*** is back

[shadow sapphire]

Open up mo2, make sure the exes are pointed at anomaly. See if it doesn't look like some threw cocaine all over the camera and cleaned it with a an oil rag

[soft niche]

also, how do i even put artifacts on my belt?

[brisk zinc]

It depends on the artefact

[soft niche]

signet

[brisk zinc]

Perk artefact, directly on the belt

[graceful iron]

just drag and drop it into the belt

you can also right click > equip

[brisk zinc]

When it's a "normal" artefact, the kind that have radiations, you need a specific container for it

[shadow sapphire]

Wait is drag and drop to belt working now?

[soft niche]

mine does not

also

i dont even see a belt

[shadow sapphire]

What armor?

[soft niche]

leather

it just shows 5 locks

[brisk zinc]

You don't have the belt then

[soft niche]

where can i find one

[graceful iron]

wear an armor with one

[brisk zinc]

Guys take it away please

[graceful iron]

i think? if the belt slots are empty i believe you can just drag and drop

no?

[brisk zinc]

I can't deal with this I need to sleep, I would end up saying something stupid

[brisk zinc]

Yes

You can

[shadow sapphire]

I'm going to assume you are pretty new to stalker? Each armor has different properties. One of those is belt slots. Armor in stalker is basically a whole outfit, not just a chest plate. Belts are part of armor or they aren't. If you mouse over the armor you can see belts slots as a stat.

[soft niche]

new to anomaly

[shadow sapphire]

If you can seriously drag and drop onto the belt, then my install has some issues lol.

Granted I haven't played the last two updates because of work being needy, but for me it doesn't work I have to do right click attatch

I honestly assumed it was part of ui or something

[graceful iron]

i am really not sure, but i remember being able to do this

[shadow sapphire]

And me assuming you were new is not in a mean way, I just don't want to over explain things if you know.

[rotund pewter]

Where do I download gamma?

[brisk zinc]

Those five locks are basically your belt
You need to find an armor with these slots

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to

[shadow sapphire]

#old-how-to and follow the steps exactly or youll be back here and probably downloading again.

[brisk zinc]

I obviously can't try now but I'm sure it's something that was doable even in 1.5.1, it's not that strange or impossible

I remember that I used to do that with pelts

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah it was doable in vanilla and light modded. I just seriously assumed it was a quirk of gamma

[lyric steeple]

you can put pelts in belt slots?

[graceful iron]

yes

[lyric steeple]

last i tried it didnt just drag and drop

[graceful iron]

you can double click them or right click > equip

[lyric steeple]

double click huh.

ok

[shadow sapphire]

Vindicated.

Now the question, has that just been a bug the whole time lol

[graceful iron]

i will save everyone from confusion (including myself) and test it

that sentence doesnt make sense and i am not going to fix it

[shadow sapphire]

It made sense.

[rotund pewter]

Can I run Gamma with 1.5.2?

[graceful iron]

gamma requires anomaly 1.5.2

[lyric steeple]

HOLY DRAG AND DROP TO BELT BATMAN

totes works.

(i swear it didnt) but it work as of fully updated

[graceful iron]

@brisk zinc drag and drop doesnt work

[lyric steeple]

lol works for me.

[shadow sapphire]

Remember when I said you have to read that install guide very carefully. Seriously trust me. Read it carefully.

[graceful iron]

it works with pelts only

[lyric steeple]

ah ok

pelts i can drag and drop

[graceful iron]

attachments and artefacts cant be drag and dropped into belt slots

[shadow sapphire]

Ok well if it only works with pelts there is no way that's intentional lol. And if it is what?

[graceful iron]

#bringbackdraganddrop

[brisk zinc]

It doesn't for you? Hm

[shadow sapphire]

I'll be honest the fact that half of us thought it did and half of us thought it didn't and just never said anything is really funny.

[brisk zinc]

Okay pelts I was sure of it

Artefacts, I'm not sure

I don't think it's possible because you can't really choose where you want them to be

[shadow sapphire]

I'm pretty sure in base anomaly it worked with anything. I could be wrong. But I honestly had no idea attach to belt was a thing until drag and drop didn't work for me in gamma

[graceful iron]

hold on a second everyone. i have had another breakthrough in stalker science

[brisk zinc]

See? You can

Can't catch me lacking

[graceful iron]

it didnt work just a second ago

[brisk zinc]

Your game heared me speak about that

[shadow sapphire]

Awesome. So yeah there's a bug, and good luck to any of us including grok on ever fixing it.

[graceful iron]

tabbed out of the game > tabbed in, it works ....

[shadow sapphire]

What.

[graceful iron]

usually tabbing out of stalker breaks the game

but this time it fixed something

[shadow sapphire]

That literally doesn't make any sense.

[brisk zinc]

✨ X-Ray ✨

[graceful iron]

wait. i have the original one

[obtuse berry]

do ghillie suits actually provide a stealth bonus?

[languid pasture]

Hey so I was weighing my options and didn’t really wanna go through testing it myself so here I am, should I keep all the toolsets I collect versus turning them in to traders? The only reason I can think of that turning them in would be beneficial is to level up the trader to get better repair kits and what not. As finding a specific repair kit for a weapon can be tedious if not bought from a vendor

[jagged oracle]

any idea where is the stash, there isn't anything at the spot

[shadow sapphire]

You should definitely keep one of each tool kit. The others give to traders, or in gunsmith case sell to technicians. You do want to try to craft weapon kits as its far cheaper, even if you just buy the supplies straight from the trader.

[lyric steeple]

as long as you keep one of each of the kits for yourself, you should be alright to give.

[shadow sapphire]

Did you find the crane cabin?

[jagged oracle]

there is a crane but it does not have a cabin 😄

[shadow sapphire]

It doesn't really look like on tbh, but basically look inside the crane parts

[jagged oracle]

hmm, will keep looking

[shadow sapphire]

Send a pic of the crane and I might be able to help better tbh

[languid pasture]

Thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Oh crap. This is the one that's actually a tiny little back pack on the hill. The crane fell lol. Look on the hill like halfway down. It's more of a satchel then a backpack and it's basically the color of the ground

My brain remembered that the one in a part of the crane says nothing about crane and the one that does isn't in a crane lol

[jagged oracle]

found it

now that you mentioned it is just the color of the ground, it is at the spot 😄

[shadow sapphire]

Haha yeah I think the first time I played anomaly I walked over it several times

[vague quiver]

Hey so to completely update gamma i need to:

1.- Download the 1.5.2 update and extract, overwrite files

2.- Open gamma installer with admin, update gamma data and full gamma installation

3.- Done?

[graceful iron]

yes

!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

[vague quiver]

and can i play my old save?

[graceful iron]

yes

[vague quiver]

thank you

[white sail]

hey, what's the console command that changes the range at which item labels pop up when you hold the pickup keybind? tysm

[sharp anchor]

Why is "Turn this on if you stutter" Plugin/Mod disabled by default? Any downside to this?

[surreal pollen]

wait lemme get the other screenshot

[shadow sapphire]

I believe it changes some of the visual effects. Believe haven't opened it up yet, myself, but no downsides.

You don't believe me anymore?

[surreal pollen]

Is it part of the modpacks?

[vague quiver]

Can i turn on the laser in the tactical aug?

[surreal pollen]

because removing and reattaching the scope to have it defsult zoom is time consuming

[shadow sapphire]

No, pso is a vanilla scope.

[surreal pollen]

Default zoom in

after pressing V

is this normal?

or bug?

[vague quiver]

maybe you have that key on the mcm zoom mod

[surreal pollen]

nope

its different

[vague quiver]

what do you have on that key? in keybinds

maybe the one on the bottom that is called kb_scope i believe

[surreal pollen]

wait this is a different mod aside from freezoom?

[vague quiver]

no i was talking about freezoom

[surreal pollen]

isnt freezoom on the side mouse buttons?

[vague quiver]

i don't remember quite well what the default button isw

[graceful iron]

some scopes that dont have variable zoom will change zoom if you press v. its not just the pso

i dont know if its intended or not

[surreal pollen]

freezoom only works with red dots and ironsights to me

[graceful iron]

its not freezoom

freezoom doesnt affect scopes

[surreal pollen]

yeah it weirds me out because if i press V it zooms in mote but pressing v again doesnt zoom out

[vague quiver]

there's one scope i've tried at least that removes the shaders when you press the freezoom button, pretty much a bug, not intended

[surreal pollen]

it only resets via removing the scope and reattaching it

[vague quiver]

which scope maybe i can try doing it

[surreal pollen]

but when you press V once it wont zoom out again

im on dx8 btw

pso 1m sks tact

[vague quiver]

i'll see when my game finishes updating

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I'm gonna 90% say that's a bug. But also @surreal pollen didn't you add a bunch of mods?

[surreal pollen]

nope

didnt add 1 since ive fully reinstalled gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Oh. I'm shocked I saw you asking about a bunch lol

[surreal pollen]

I was talkingn bout pre existing ones that GAMMA has

tho what scopes that has a scroll wheel zoom?

Nope what thats the wrong term

[vague quiver]

what does solarint jsrs gamma patch do?

[surreal pollen]

Yeah, i feel its a bug

[shadow sapphire]

Spectre, Howa scope and a few others whose names I don't remember

[graceful iron]

it was made for the JSRS v5 update but jsrs in gamma was reverted to the previous one

its not needed

[surreal pollen]

also if you wanna try the issue im having im on dx8 didnt change one bit

[surreal pollen]

in mods aside maids

[vague quiver]

and screen space shaders is disabled by default, idk if it was before, isn't that the thing that makes reflections in rain?

[shadow sapphire]

That's roadsides your think of I believe

[willow hawk]

it's not

[vague quiver]

maybe i shouldn't touch G.A.M.M.A. Disabled

[willow hawk]

No you shouldn't

!disabled

[raw raft]

Mods under the G.A.M.M.A Disabled category are disabled for a variety of reasons: compatibility, performance, bugs, busy hands, etc. DO NOT ENABLE THEM FOR ANY REASON.

After reading this you'll probably ask: "But why are those mods there if you can't activate them?". Because G.A.M.M.A. as a whole is STILL IN BETA, and no, Grok can't simply remove them. Version 1.0 will have a clean mod list.
And you'll also ask: "What about the other disabled mods that aren't under the "Disabled" category, then?". Don't enable them if you don't know what you're doing. Ask in #🔨base-gamma-support before doing anything.

DO NOT ENABLE ANIMATIONS THAT ARE DISABLED BY DEFAULT, IN MCM IN GAME OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MOD LIST, they're disabled for the same reasons written above. If you use them, forget about #old-bugs or #🔨base-gamma-support, don't use these two channels. Use #🔨modded-gamma-support instead.

[vague quiver]

thank you

[graceful iron]

do we make a bug report or is it something we can ignore? its not game breaking but some people seem to find it annoying

or you already know of the details ?

[vague quiver]

ZCP was enabled before, but there's thisnow

[shadow sapphire]

He already slapped it on #📎to-do

[vague quiver]

should i enable that one maybe it's a different version?

[shadow sapphire]

Did you play on vanilla gamma before?

[vague quiver]

yes, i did a lot of changes, i think my mods i added and removed reset to default

so i'm checking

[graceful iron]

gamma uses 1.4 .dont enable 1.5

[vague quiver]

for my save

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

Got it, that's what I was trying to figure out was if you played on vanilla before don't change vanilla. But I get now what your asking

[vague quiver]

can i search for mods by name in MO2? i can't find the mags redux and unjam mods

[shadow sapphire]

Bottom right, filter type in there.

[sleek parrot]

bottom left for mod name

[willow hawk]

Which gun / scope is it ?

[sleek parrot]

bottom right for file name

[vague quiver]

thank you very much

[shadow sapphire]

Also mags no longer has built in ammo check so you'll need to enable the standalone as well

[vague quiver]

this one

[surreal pollen]

played on dx8
sight pso 1m
weap sks tact

[vague quiver]

so i disable unjam reload on the same key, activate mags redux and...?

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[vague quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-belly-dance-gif-24866801

thanks

[surreal pollen]

Might or might not be a bug for dx8 but i feel its every directX version

[willow hawk]

That's what V should do

[vague quiver]

i was going to check it but i just finished updating i'll check it now in dx11

[willow hawk]

Did you install custom addons or something ?

[surreal pollen]

with dx8?

[surreal pollen]

nothing at all tbh

[willow hawk]

DX11

[surreal pollen]

i just disabled shaders

im on dx8

[vague quiver]

it might be a dx8 problem

[graceful iron]

its not every gun and every scope. very specific scopes and models

[willow hawk]

Doesn't change anything

[graceful iron]

i had it happen on dx11

[surreal pollen]

wait

[shadow sapphire]

🍿

[graceful iron]

its not a dx issue

[surreal pollen]

did you get the eyecupped one?

[vague quiver]

v is grenade launcher right?

[willow hawk]

Oh found it

you are right

[graceful iron]

it cycles through all attachments but its the grenade launcher keybind

[willow hawk]

it's one of the PSOs

[surreal pollen]

so dont use pso 1m that has an eyecup?

i only have sks tact froma renegade and fully invested it

with the eyecupped pso

[graceful iron]

i have had it happen on the ZF (the K98 scope) . press v and it zooms in and you cant remove it or zoom out

[vague quiver]

oh no i forgor my settings change with the update

now that hurts

[shadow sapphire]

Play the game however you want. Seriously. Also he's not telling you not to use it

[surreal pollen]

tho its a bug

[vague quiver]

isn't it only 1 scope?

[drifting oxide]

I played yesterday GAMMA for the first time... is Sidorovich gone from his bunker as a part of a quest or does he keep a schedule? Or is this a bug?

[surreal pollen]

as of what im using

[vague quiver]

i guess you could throw that one, spawn the other one and use it like that for now

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah and people use debug to kill sid. It's about you having fun. Not what someone else thinks.

[shadow sapphire]

How did you kill sid, and why?

[wanton barn]

Any idea what this green filter is over my scope? It doesn’t seem like proper night vision and I’ve no clue how I may or may not have accidentally turned it on

[drifting oxide]

@shadow sapphire I wish I knew

[surreal pollen]

press N?

[wanton barn]

Tapped N

And M

And many other keys to try and fix it

[graceful iron]

!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.

[shadow sapphire]

I ask because 2 people "accidentally " killed him and asked the same question lol

[shadow sapphire]

But if your serious, what are the circumstances of the mysterious scammovich

[wanton barn]

Hmm…

[drifting oxide]

@shadow sapphire I figured they used debug, I don't have it active. He is just gone.

[willow hawk]

Just fixed it

[surreal pollen]

How do?

[graceful iron]

did you enable zombies in zcp or tweak any other population settings ?

[drifting oxide]

He gave me a quest I went out and done it. Along with the one for wolf and fanatic and sid is gone

[willow hawk]

Update data > only install gamma addons @surreal pollen

[drifting oxide]

@graceful iron not in regards to spawns

[surreal pollen]

Thanks grok love ya

[shadow sapphire]

of mods active?

[drifting oxide]

331

[surreal pollen]

also lastly in integration tab on mcm

can i enable mag redux spawn chsnce?

or does it bug the game

[shadow sapphire]

Anything unusual or weird happen, and did you have to load a save?

[vague quiver]

omg im going to cry, i will screenshot my dynamic tonemap settings for the next updates

[graceful iron]

you can just backup your settings before updating

!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

[vague quiver]

can i recover it?

[graceful iron]

if you didnt back it up, no

[shadow sapphire]

@willow hawk .... safe start wouldn't disappear an important npc would it?

[willow hawk]

It shouldn’t

There’s a list of protected npcs

[vague quiver]

oh well

[surreal pollen]

also is it really okay to enable Mags redux spawn chance?

[drifting oxide]

@shadow sapphire I was reloading couple of times, but no. I took his quest for contract kill (he died of his own mistakes, but hey I will take the money). I did all that with the safari rookies and fanatic for tutorial quests. When I finally went back to collect he wasn't there.

[surreal pollen]

if so ill enable it just for randomness sakes

[vague quiver]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/538757693347856401/895264518458998805/image0_6.gif

[shadow sapphire]

Because this is the third person with a disappearing sid. And I just realized that was added and now this. Probably jumping to conclusions.

[graceful iron]

are you using mags redux?

[surreal pollen]

yes

[carmine wyvern]

Controller Nearby ?

[willow hawk]

That’s not normal, somethings fishy

Safe start could be it, but it’s easy to check

[carmine wyvern]

did he touch ZCP in MCM ? someone had the issue that Dushman didnt spawn on a fresh game, turned out he fiddled with ZCP

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly 2 options regardless of cause sadly: a) reload save before he's gone to a giant fried chicken restraints in the sky. Or follow:

[shadow sapphire]

¡npc

[wanton barn]

Nope, tried deleting the cache, loading back in rn to test if it’s working now

[willow hawk]

Good question

@drifting oxide did you change ZCP parameters ?

[whole orbit]

Played the game earlier today with no issue. Just updated gamma and now I'm getting this crash every time I try and launch. Any ideas?

[willow hawk]

!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

[drifting oxide]

@willow hawk nope. I looked at them, but I don't think I tweaked any of them.

[wanton barn]

Green shit fixed!

[carmine wyvern]

did you activate grulags halved Hub Population?

[surreal pollen]

Yayy i can save some money and dont cheat to spawn a new scope

[willow hawk]

Oh shit yes it’s safe start addon

Let me push a fix

[drifting oxide]

@willow hawk I will restart my playthrough and retrace my steps. I will let you know if I can reproduce it. I didn't lost that much of a gameplay, so I can happily start over. But that's gonna be much later today.

[carmine wyvern]

always knew Scamdorovich is evil

[surreal pollen]

isnt that the guy whose fat asfk??

in rookie village

[carmine wyvern]

yes

the fat fuck in the bunker

[surreal pollen]

Oh

also whats thw safe start problem?

[carmine wyvern]

safe start deleted Scamdorovich

[willow hawk]

I’m pushing a fix

[surreal pollen]

is that a ingame thing or addonm

[carmine wyvern]

Safe Start is supposed to give the player breathing room on a new game

[drifting oxide]

@willow hawk Oh I thought you meant fix is for the crash of Teioh

[carmine wyvern]

so he doesnt get fucked by chimeras on a new playthrough in the first 30 seconds

[shadow sapphire]

I literally installed a xml reader on my phone, and you beat me to it lol. But nice find!

[surreal pollen]

whats the addons name jusr curious

[vague quiver]

what is a teta zombie in zcp

[carmine wyvern]

Scamdorovich wasnt set up on the list of "do-not-delete NPCs" for that add-on

that what i understood atleast

[carmine wyvern]

cant tell you rn :(

[surreal pollen]

i understand

[carmine wyvern]

i could in 12 hours

:D

[vague quiver]

should i activate this?

[carmine wyvern]

no need

[vague quiver]

cool

[surreal pollen]

tho we can right?

[carmine wyvern]

its for super rare guns that you need mags for but cant buy

it has a chance to spawn mags for the currently equipped gun in stashes etc.

[surreal pollen]

so optional that cant break the game?
or optional: dont fucking press it type of option?

[vague quiver]

does volumetric smoke actually work? like the one from clear sky

didn't really see it in the agroprom place, and might be reducing performance

[shadow sapphire]

I'm gonna go with, don't touch things that might mess with stashes in a game that heavily modifies stashes. Could be wrong, but that's a really safe bet imo

[carmine wyvern]

neither, its just a nice to have thing if you got super rare guns you cant reliably get mags for

[vague quiver]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYHcV4o_Z88

[surreal pollen]

Gotcha

[carmine wyvern]

alternatively you can just enable buyable mags at traders

[vague quiver]

the called it the pc melter back then

but i haven't seen it with the option on in Gamma

[carmine wyvern]

#╭📖faq message

this explains what graphic setting do and how useful they are

[surreal pollen]

so updating the modpack do reset the user.ltx keybinds right

do i just replace it?

[carmine wyvern]

go into your anomaly folder, back up your user ltx somewhere

after the install replace the new with the old

[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

[vague quiver]

i mean, "almost unnoticable" so it works?

[surreal pollen]

okay thanks

[carmine wyvern]

user.ltx isnt that important for me

its the mods settings

[vague quiver]

and you can change steep parallax here, how is it useless?

i think detail bump doesn't work with new textures though so yeah i think that's useless

[surreal pollen]

oof thats alot of gamma disable

espx the no grass one

[vague quiver]

yes, i really like to change them settings

specular gloss factor also is a very complex option, can't really change it just like that, very hard to get it perfectly

[surreal pollen]

hey atleadt grok added back monster unstucker

[carmine wyvern]

but zeds do get stuck in the weird time travel anomaly

but i guess thats by design

[surreal pollen]

i mean there sre zeds

[carmine wyvern]

the concept of that anomaly is beyond me anyway lmao

step in x hours pass, step in too often = red sleep no stamina regeneration and you are stuck

[surreal pollen]

oh yeah forgot to mention

is the mags redux text fix now?

[carmine wyvern]

yep

[surreal pollen]

on the latest update?

bice

Nice

[carmine wyvern]

did a complete install yesterday and its perfect

figures out my problem w/ the compass aswell

compass is bound to activate minimap in the game settings

[surreal pollen]

Tho is updating it okay?

[carmine wyvern]

it went almost flawlessly for me

[surreal pollen]

or do i need a clean install

[carmine wyvern]

only issue i have is changing graphical options and saving them crashes my game

[surreal pollen]

i still dont use the minimaps

[whole orbit]

that worked thanks boss

[carmine wyvern]

i did back up my shit, downloaded the 151 to 152 patch, overwritten the files, started the gamma installer for a full update and everything was dandy after that

[surreal pollen]

time to find out

[vague quiver]

any reason why reloading is f10 by default?

[surreal pollen]

Oh shit almost forgot my ltx

[carmine wyvern]

i dont know the reason for it to be at F10

i always rebind it lmao

[drifting oxide]

I updated. Loaded save where Sid was gone. Still gone. I assume for this playthrough he will stay gone. Anyway to spawn him back in with the Debug?

@willow hawk

[surreal pollen]

theres a spawn command

!npc

[raw raft]

Xenotech/Spirit/Peregrine/Gatekeeper is dead/probably dead/is gone and you can't find it? Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[vague quiver]

yeah, if you could see the unsaved changes in my keybinds it would be like around 35

[surreal pollen]

temporary fix while grok still fixing about that

[drifting oxide]

@surreal pollen you mean !npc_sidorovich or some such?

[vague quiver]

and also there's this weird bug with the minimap appearing after changing resolutions, even though it's disabled

you can just activate it and disactivate it though

so no big problem

[surreal pollen]

do follow the guide i didnt have a problem about that atm

also is it safe to use classic textures?

[shadow sapphire]

Enable debug follow the !npc guide drill sent. Make sure you look at his chair, and his code is the one with stalker trader

[drifting oxide]

@surreal pollen what guide?

[surreal pollen]

!npc

[raw raft]

Xenotech/Spirit/Peregrine/Gatekeeper is dead/probably dead/is gone and you can't find it? Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[drifting oxide]

Oh that. Thanks

[carmine wyvern]

update is about to get pushed, you need to update your game and then start a new game

[shadow sapphire]

Where did you disable the minimap?

[vague quiver]

i never enabled it, it's in visual>ui/hud

show minimap

[shadow sapphire]

It's on by default in the modlist.

It's a mod

[vague quiver]

i just changed the resolution back to 1080 and it appeared again

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. Because the mod is on

[surreal pollen]

How do you know

[vague quiver]

it tells me this after only changing resolution

[carmine wyvern]

#📢development

[vague quiver]

but it's an easy fix

so no problems

[shadow sapphire]

The mod is turned on, I believe it's square dov in the minimap separator of mo2.

[carmine wyvern]

but i dont know if , when its in #📢development is already good to download or if we need to wait for a #📢announcements

[vague quiver]

it's an engine problem

[surreal pollen]

now i need to update the modpack again

[vague quiver]

happens on every mod

[graceful iron]

you dont have to update everytime there is an update

[shadow sapphire]

Bro. Turn the minimap mod off, and it won't happen.

[surreal pollen]

tho its a sid fix i may need it later on

im doing cold questline about CS relationship

[vague quiver]

im telling you, it's something that happens in every mod setup i do, Anomaly, Dead Air Revolution, CoC, CoM, Etc, but it's no problem because it's easy to fix

and it just happens when i change resolution so no problem i do that just 1 time

[surreal pollen]

i need sids fat body on his chair later on

if im selling shit

tho does it need a new playthrough?

or can use old saves

after updating

[vague quiver]

you can use your old save

[shadow sapphire]

Wizard, I truly understand what you are saying. Now please try to understand me, the minimap button in the menu is not disabling the minimap in gamma. Infact the minimap button you are talking about is how the gamma mod hides and shows it, by toggling that option. If you disable the mod, and leave the button off it should resolve your issue. But you did not disable the minimap by clicking that button.

[carmine wyvern]

it only affects you when you started in rookie village and he wasnt there

and only recently

[surreal pollen]

oh, well ive already starting the update

[carmine wyvern]

if your savegame is x hours old you shouldnt be affected

[finite sail]

Yo can i disable mp7 replacer without breaking anything?

[vague quiver]

the issue is that there's no issue

[carmine wyvern]

why would you want to do that

[surreal pollen]

still safe to use classic texture? @carmine wyvern

[finite sail]

i dont like the ironsights on it

[carmine wyvern]

dunno , never fiddled w/ anything outside of what comes w/ the Gamma download

[surreal pollen]

aight ill use classic texture still

!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

[shadow sapphire]

Then I would ask that you do not post this is a bug in a support channel for gamma, when you aren't reporting a bug. People like myself, grok, Falco, and cat and others, check this channel and the word bug means looking into what you posted. I'm not trying to come across rude or anything and I'm not annoyed or mad at you. I'm happy everything is working the way you want, and hope you have a great experience!

[carmine wyvern]

if you disable the MP7 replacer, you will get a MP7 that uses 9x19mm, and has a worse model

just slap a reddot on there

[vague quiver]

i mean, to be honest, this is not the bugs channel and im very wrong for making this convo as long as it's been rn, but it's a bug, just wanted to chill things up

also im sorry if my english is wrong i'm not a native speaker

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly not too sure on that one. Probably?

[shadow sapphire]

No worries on your English, at all do not feel bad about that.

[vague quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-gif-22322541

[graceful iron]

it will break icons and textures most likely, and thats best case scenario

[shadow sapphire]

And there ya go!

[finite sail]

ah ok now i see the problem with vanila model

[carmine wyvern]

the viewmodel for the MP7 in gamma was adjusted to the MP7 replacer

honestly just slap a reddot or acog on there and you are golden

[finite sail]

thats bad i really dig the look of the ironsights

[surreal pollen]

oh i thought gammas mp7 has a more flat sight than the SCAR Iron sight Vairant

[carmine wyvern]

it has

he enabled the anomaly mp7 again

[surreal pollen]

last question is it okay to enable enable time advance on extra level transitions?

[carmine wyvern]

i would say yes, BUT if you transition levels and you are irradiated the bar continues to go up and you might die on level arrival

also NPCs wander in the meantime and can get killed

so you transition a level and suddenly you got like 5 completed kil quests

[surreal pollen]

Thats a no then

[graceful iron]

it can cause some minor issues and i am not even sure it works. there might be an addon force disabling it

[carmine wyvern]

i liked the feature in anomaly, but i can understand why its disabled in gamma

starting at dawn in AW to end up at night in Truck Cemetary was pretty dope

[surreal pollen]

after reading both of your comments about it ,yeah cool feature tbh but i understand

Thanks!

ill be playing with my sweet sks tact and pso1m

[vague quiver]

do i have to overwrite the 10 or put it below it for the core 0 fix to work?

[graceful iron]

put it below

[surreal pollen]

back it again with This

[graceful iron]

make sure to change this from 10 to 11

[surreal pollen]

[vague quiver]

thanks for the help

[surreal pollen]

i didnt use weapon close addon

[shadow sapphire]

Is that what happens when you hit v now?

[surreal pollen]

i think the scope just to big

[surreal pollen]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

And if you hit it again it goes back to normal?

[surreal pollen]

yeah it goes back to the scope

[vague quiver]

any problem if my / is looking to the other side?

it looks like this

[minor bone]

are there english translated captions in gamma?

[surreal pollen]

i feel its a dx8 problem now on my side

[shadow sapphire]

Do me three favors please: take scope off gun, and put it back on, check that your fov is still normal, and then try again

[graceful iron]

you are following the troublecore post in #╭📖faq ? it should cover everything (we had a lot of people test and improve it, it really should cover everything)

!troublecore

[raw raft]

Troubleshooting for 0 core: #╭📖faq message

[surreal pollen]

still the same

also fov still same

nothing changed

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm k.

[surreal pollen]

just this

[vague quiver]

thank you i was trying to check it from framerate optimsation but it was sending me to the last message

[surreal pollen]

so apprently weapon scope closeness something addon

have the same result

wait actually is it on the scope fix >?

ill be posting this on bugs now

[vague quiver]

does someone know what these options do?

now i know

[surreal pollen]

theres a addon which fixes the radius ingame enabled as default

@vague quiver can you test out about the sks tact with pso 1m?

[vague quiver]

i'll try in dx8

[surreal pollen]

not in dx8

try it on your current dx

which is higher

if its only dx8 problem

[vague quiver]

ok, i'll try

[surreal pollen]

the pso m1 above the POS Upgrade i think

while aiming press v

so we can narrow it down for the modders

sks tact is at the lowest

corner left if youre wondering

[surreal pollen]

if this happens also then its confirmed its one of the addons

[vague quiver]

i'll try both dx8 and dx11 to see if there's a difference

which scope

[surreal pollen]

use sks tact with pso m1

its above the POS upgrade

in the description it says ps01

[vague quiver]

ah the thing is that i haven't updated the game lol

[surreal pollen]

[fluid nest]

Why am I able to save outside of campfires if the install guide said theres already another version of campfire saving in place?

[vague quiver]

send me this file

so i don't have to update everything

[frank spire]

anyone have an issue where the game crashes cause of a monolith suit?

[graceful iron]

this was fixed a while ago. run the installer as admin > update data > full installation

[vague quiver]

maybe check YACS on the mod configuration menu

[frank spire]

ahhh ty

[vague quiver]

and see if it's on

[graceful iron]

you already have anomaly 1.5.2?

[frank spire]

yeah I updated to it yesterday

[surreal pollen]

whose?

[surreal pollen]

also @graceful iron

[vague quiver]

that's the file grok changed

to repair the problem

[graceful iron]

#📢development you updated yesterday ? you should have the fix then

[frank spire]

ahh, then definitely not yesterday

[vague quiver]

it's inside gamma, mods, search for weapon pack, GAMMA Weapon pack, gamedata, configs, the file from the screenshot

[frank spire]

lost track of the days

[surreal pollen]

what do i have to changr

[vague quiver]

nothing, just send me the file

because i have the old one

[fluid nest]

It has check next to it

[vague quiver]

maybe you are on a safe spot?

sid's bunker is a safe spot

[surreal pollen]

uhh i did ask grok to update it ebcause there was also an issue with the last

[graceful iron]

#📢development this was fixed yesterday and hot fixed today since it caused another issue. make sure you update

[surreal pollen]

basically its a new bug from the recent update

[shadow sapphire]

It was a bug, has been patched update gamma data full install

[fluid nest]

aah ok, I am at the Clear Sky base in the swamps

[vague quiver]

it's definitely this @fluid nest, i don't think the whole clear sky base is a safe spot

[hoary cedar]

How can i add new mods to the GAMMA mo2? When i add them to the 'modpack_addons' folder they don't appear in mo2

[vague quiver]

but you can check outside and see if you can save

[graceful iron]

dont add addons to files and folders. you need to install them using mo2

[hoary cedar]

okay got it

thanks!

[fluid nest]

oh, so should I update gamma data and do a full install?

[vague quiver]

when's the last time you updated?

[fluid nest]

I only installed the game 12 hours ago

[vague quiver]

then it might be a safe spot

try disabling sanctuarys

in YACS

if you want to only do campfire sabes

[graceful iron]

the clear sky base doesnt count as a safe spot for saving. its definitely bugged

you should update

[shadow sapphire]

If you go into your gamma folder, you should see a version.txt open that and tell me the number please

[fluid nest]

sure

just a moment pelase

5.91

591*

[shadow sapphire]

Ok hang on for me one second please

[graceful iron]

thats the version with the bug

i just checked

run the gamma installer as admin > update gamma data > full gamma installation

you can also backup your settings since updating resets them to default

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"

[fluid nest]

will this take another 4 hours or so to install?

[vague quiver]

no

like 20 mins

[fluid nest]

Awezem

thanks, guys

[vague quiver]

because it has to check the files, or at leas that's what it takes for me

[fluid nest]

Ok new version says Im on 596

[graceful iron]

saving should be fixed

you can only save near lit campfires or in friendly and neutral bases

also in some underground areas

[hoary cedar]

Why does night vision not work? do i have to do something else beside putting batteries inside?

[graceful iron]

hold N to activate them #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[hoary cedar]

oh i didn't know i had to hold N

thank you

[minor bone]

Is it normal that the fps drops while in the stash and selecting multiple items while holding shift to sell?

[versed tusk]

the bigger your stash the bigger the stutters

best to separate items into multiple stashes

[hasty lantern]

!factions

[raw raft]

To unlock every faction from the beginning, you can type greh/renegades/isg/z when you start a new game in the character creation screen.
Since this sound strange, I literally mean "TYPE WITH YOUR KEYBOARD", you don't have an option where you can type in, like a console command.

For example, if you LITERALLY WRITE on your keyboard isg, and then you open the faction menu, you'll see the UNISG icon. Same goes for the rest.

[craggy scroll]

whats the command for noclip?

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

does ballistic overhaul turn slugs into just better buckshot?

[grizzled raven]

is it me or the armor exchanges dont work

[lunar harbor]

@grizzled raven be sure the patch is still on

[grizzled raven]

what patch

[lunar harbor]

faction patch

[grizzled raven]

it is on

[lunar harbor]

have you tried every option?

[versed tusk]

wdym? each ammo type has its use, dont fire buckshot at armor.

[lunar harbor]

@grizzled raven try other armors, otherwise post in bugs

[carmine wyvern]

slugs have high base damage but low Armor Pen

[north turret]

i read that slugs have better armor penetration than buckshot and kinda the same flesh damage

[versed tusk]

and no pellet spread, so better for heads

[carmine wyvern]

if you want Armor Pen you go AP Slugs

[grizzled raven]

already tried

ill get more video proof later

[carmine wyvern]

Buckshot for Mutants, AP Slugs for anything stronger than a Bandit

[north turret]

alright merc, ill take your word for it

[lunar harbor]

@grizzled raven I'll be honest haven't used the feature after the 1.5.2 update and i'm in the Radar now or I'll would test by myself. Post it in bug

[carmine wyvern]

also damage depends on the Barrel Quality

you wont kill anything with a 5% barrel

[minor bone]

I am having this issue where the audio begins to cut in and out. I thought it might have been my headset but after watching several youtube videos, it wasnt. Anyone know a fix for this?

[carmine wyvern]

can you give examples when it happens ?

[minor bone]

sure, I cant really remember when it happened yesterday but today I was in garbage sitting behind a tractor fighting a bandit and as I was reloading the sound kept going in and out. I paused the game so maybe I can record it real quick

[carmine wyvern]

yeah a video would be sweet but post it in #old-bugs

[graceful iron]

you dont have money for the exchange

literally tells you that you need money and the armor

[minor bone]

of course its not doing it now :/

I guess when I tabbed back in it fixed itself.

[graceful iron]

tabbing out of anomaly or any stalker game can cause many issues, including broken audio @minor bone

play on fullscreen, it should cause less issues if none at all

[carmine wyvern]

also tabbing out fucks with the scroll speed in inventories

[minor bone]

I tabbed out to mention this. When I play full screen I have terrible stutters around fires so I switched back to borderless where I dont have as many issues. I want to play FS but those stutters when looking at anomalies or fires is beyond annoying.

[wanton sparrow]

how do i fix my ui

Well... f me. Just updated GAMMA. remembered I had the water shading issue. downloaded the shaders to reinstall it since the one in GAMMA can't be reinstalled. Cleared the cache when launching and now I'm getting a shader compilation error.

[next dagger]

I see the "6" key should change scopes in game (or is it an attach/detach action as the "7" for the suppressor?)... anyway it doesn't work with me. I have a rifle equipped with one scope mounted and another compatible scope in the inventory. am I missing something? thanks

[delicate zenith]

Would a question involving optional mods from the gamma list that isn’t random shit added from moddb go here or would it still go in custom mod list support?

[versed tusk]

I'd still ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

or at least arrive there once issues happen

[delicate zenith]

Was just curious cause it seems like last time I asked it got drowned in other posts from people going “BRO CAN I ADD (entire other modpack unrelated to gamma) AND MOD STILL WORK???1”

Just trying to figure out if moving anus ahead of zcp will break shit smh

[versed tusk]

That's just the nature of Discord I'm afraid

and it's absolutely ok to repeat a question if you haven't been seen

where can i change unjam key

[grand cave]

can i make hip my companion?

I gave her the shotgun but dont know what to do next

okay nevermind i bought her a can of tuna and she's mine now

fucking gold digger

[carmine wyvern]

only encounter i have with hip is the freedom bullets flying her way

[magic thunder]

how tf do i change the unjam key

[carmine wyvern]

look in MCM Keybinds

[magic thunder]

there is nothing about unjamming in mcm keybinds

[gritty minnow]

Is loot entirely dependent on getting stashes and their coordinates?

[carmine wyvern]

maybe in MCM in Magazines ?

i cant really help you since i am not at home :(

[magic thunder]

nevermind it's in regular settings

[carmine wyvern]

what loot do you mean exactly ?

[gritty minnow]

Tool kits and such to repair guns

Getting tired of only using my shotgun

[carmine wyvern]

!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.

[spark summit]

Is Mags Redux the one that makes it where you have actual Magizines? Do you manually load them too?

[gritty minnow]

Is there a way to see stash coordinates without having to drag across the map?

[carmine wyvern]

yes and yes

[carmine wyvern]

they get shown as a white/green triforce symbol on your pda map

[spark summit]

3. Enable Ammo Check

I assume this is ingame since I don't see it on the mod list?

[carmine wyvern]

no its a add-on in MCM

ammo checker i believe

[steel forge]

where is the way back when i disable the miracle machine? am i supposed to go back?

[carmine wyvern]

just search for ammo and you should see it

[carmine wyvern]

the room where the controller is in has a broken floor tile, you can jump in there end up close to Yantar Bunker

[steel forge]

damn

thanks

[spark summit]

Thank you Vex

Didn't load up the game just yet, wanted to double check haha

[carmine wyvern]

remember when using mags redux you cant disable it w/o creating a new savefile

Yep did see that at the bottom of the bot thingy 🙂

Figured give it a go since I like EFT Gunplay/Ammo etc

[carmine wyvern]

its a must have for me personally, cant play without it

[carmine wyvern]

to be fair, its pretty hidden

[spark summit]

I'll prob do a new game just to make it easier to remember when it was enabled etc

Did you have any other mods that were similar to EFT enabled that I should know about?

Or just any you would recommend

[carmine wyvern]

also little easter egg, in the Lab there is a dead member of Streloks Crew

[carmine wyvern]

uhhh, personally i like to punish myself with the mods i activate / disable, so I am not the best person to ask lmao

[spark summit]

Well maybe I'll do a brutal run so lemme know haha

[carmine wyvern]

[spark summit]

Thank you 🙂

[carmine wyvern]

you are welcome

[pulsar yoke]

Guys can I close the installer window during a full Gamma installation? Or does it need to be open?

[grand cave]

which addon limits capacity of containers such as the one at sidorovich bunker?

Can i disable that?

[gritty minnow]

That's odd how come I can't move to the next zone? It just blacks out then comes back

[carmine wyvern]

needs to be open

[paper sable]

big brain question : where in the load order should i put the chatty companions addon?

[pulsar yoke]

Ok thx

[carmine wyvern]

search for weight or stashes in MCM

[carmine wyvern]

vanilla Anomaly bug, save the game, close it an try the level transition again

[versed tusk]

it's not recommended tho - it will lag your game once you reach certain amounts/weight of loot and you are also not encouraged anymore to use the hideout building feature - but ofc you can

[versed tusk]

thats a question for #🔨modded-gamma-support

[gritty minnow]

Thank you @carmine wyvern , it worked

[carmine wyvern]

[steel forge]

Whats the deal with the invisible wall on the left side of yantar on the way to dead city?

[carmine wyvern]

invisible wall ?

probably just a map border

[paper sable]

since it was in the announcements tought this might be the place to ask

[versed tusk]

ah I just saw that too

[steel forge]

ahah yeah no my bad as always , didn't know where to go all good sorry

[north turret]

it is a WIP optional mod, not one included in the full download yet

[versed tusk]

mhm - should be fine tho at the end of the load-order. if it breaks then just deactivate it again

[grand cave]

what do i need to do

just walk around with radio in hand?

[high remnant]

rf receiver on the correct frequency

itll start beeping. the faster it beeps the closer you are

[versed tusk]

3 beeps = 5 meters distance, then hold F to see the package

[grand cave]

i set it on 165 but all i hear is just typical radio sound and sometimes someone talking in russian

[north turret]

the package can range in size from a small cloth wrap to a proper large metal crate, but sometimes they are annoyingly well hidden

go to the southern part of Darkscape
as in, look at the map and divide it into 9 squares (including the empty area outside of the playable zone), the package should be somewhere in the middle of the bottom row
just run around like a goofball

[grand cave]

maybe i should try to run near to the southern wall of the map?

[cosmic junco]

do any of u guys have the eft jumping sound while running? my ocd is driving me nuts for it lol

[high remnant]

sometimes yeah, but does not happen often

[upbeat wren]

my zoom in on my weaponn doesnt work

i updated to the new version and it doesnt work on it

is it a bind?

[warm remnant]

So there's a recipe using old vog-25 grenades to make new ones, but in the crafting menu it says i have no old despite having so many

also how to reload underbarrel grenade launcher thank

[boreal jewel]

What's the point of enabling Dots On Minimap when you're enabling the compass which replaces the minimap entirely? Not being facetious, just wondering if I've missed something (like dots appear on the compass)?

[brisk zinc]

To spot corpses more easily

[boreal jewel]

No, I mean if you're disabling the minimap (which is what the compass addon does, right?) what's the point of a mod that adds to the minimap?

[brisk zinc]

Oh right you're not wrong there

Ah wait I have an idea for that

You can see corpses from the PDA map as well

[boreal jewel]

That makes sense

[north turret]

hello, is there a way in the options to disable mutant auto-aim?

[brisk zinc]

@soft leaf answer this

[soft leaf]

the fuck does mutant autoaim even mean

don't make me say skill issue

[brisk zinc]

You know you want to

[soft leaf]

because it seems to me it is

[brisk zinc]

I KNOW

That's why I called you

[buoyant stump]

alright bois, currently running a beril 5 but i also have a UNSIG seva suit and a voyager loner. would u replace the beril with either?

[stoic moth]

this should have been fixed in the latest patches. otherwise theres a patch you can download off #🖇old-mods-posting

[warm remnant]

huh, weird, thought i had the lastest version, guess not

thanks!

[lunar obsidian]

Hey @brisk zinc how would I have to install the SSR if I don't want the Water Shaders. I disabled the one in GAMMA, downloaded the newest 9.1. when installing it I selected install as BAIN because otherwise it'd have the X. then I selected these 3 and chose merge. But whenever I try to launch Anomaly I get the Shader Compilation Error.

[carmine wyvern]

Dots on the PDA Map

I would like to resize the Compass a bit, but i dont exactly know how yet

[boreal jewel]

I agree, it's currently mahoosive.

[graceful iron]

reinstall the addon ?

[versed tusk]

reinstall the addon, use 100 size

or 50 if you like using a magnification glass

[carmine wyvern]

Probably, yeah

[versed tusk]

you can also chose colors and style

NATO or Russian

[carmine wyvern]

Oh....

Sweet

[brisk zinc]

!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.

[grizzled hornet]

Hello, so umm what is the average full G.A.M.M.A. installation time?

[versed tusk]

depends on the mercy of moddb

[lunar obsidian]

Didn't help.

[grizzled hornet]

oh welp

[shadow sapphire]

A full install if you don't have anomaly is probably 1-2 hours on average.

[brisk zinc]

Try to tick the fist main file as well? I don't know, it's not really vanilla since you're installing an update that isn't in GAMMA yet
Try to follow the mod page

[grizzled hornet]

got it

i just thought mine is taking a while than average

[north turret]

What do I need to do to use the maids icon stuff

[lunar obsidian]

Alright I'll try it. I know it worked on 1.5.1 because I did the same thing to get rid of the Water Shading issues.

[shadow sapphire]

If you followed the #old-how-to channel and progress is happening should be all good

[grizzled hornet]

ok

well i think i started the installation at like 10:00pm ish its 11:18pm rn

[obtuse berry]

is there a reliable means to get propellant besides disassembling?

[brisk zinc]

This is what I did, but I use SSR water

[north turret]

help my game crashes after i load into a new game

[shadow sapphire]

Your NA, you changed the moddb mirror right?

[stable stag]

Disassemble powder cans. You'll have more than you'll ever need

[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.

[lunar obsidian]

Ticking the first Main file fixed the problem. Now let's see if it actually works properly in game also.

[north turret]

dont see a .txt file with my name in it

[grizzled hornet]

its on this rn

[obtuse berry]

@stable stag thanks for the tip, cheers

[shadow sapphire]

Well, that's gonna take some time. You are downloading from EU moddb

[grizzled hornet]

ohhhh

okok

[north turret]

It also doesnt let me post the file in here

[shadow sapphire]

What file did you just try to send that it blocked?

[north turret]

uhh a .txt file from the logs folder

it's called xray_user.log

that's the only .txt file i have in logs folder

[brisk zinc]

Send that one

[north turret]

doesnt let me

[brisk zinc]

[carmine wyvern]

[north turret]

it didnt let me drag and drop it

but it did let me use the "+' and find the file

[shadow sapphire]

Give me a minute to look at it.

[north turret]

Okay no problem

[magic thunder]

why can't a technician repair my outfit

[carmine wyvern]

Because he doesnt have Toolkits available

Or rather repairing is blocked

So you gotta fix your stuff on your own

[shadow sapphire]

!amd

[raw raft]

Troubleshooting for AMD GPUs: #╭📖faq message

[magic thunder]

ok

[lunar harbor]

how do you charge the artefact melter? I'm moving artefact onto it but is not working

[warm remnant]

Yeah that aspect is weird, because sometimes they can, other times they can't, very confuse

[magic thunder]

do traders sell outfits or are they blocked too

[carmine wyvern]

Trader wont sell Outfits and Guns

[shadow sapphire]

Move melter onto artifact

[humble tartan]

hey falco can i extract gamma to an external?

or it must be in C/D?

[brisk zinc]

Not quite

[brisk zinc]

Disabled feature

[brisk zinc]

You can

[pale river]

its 1.5.2 compatible? 😮

[carmine wyvern]

I even corrected myself

@brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Yes

!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

[brisk zinc]

Sorry

From the phone right now

[pale river]

thanks!

[opal nexus]

the high tier toolkit locations dont spawn kits anymore in gamma right? i found a walkie talkie instead of one of em. just to make sure

[brisk zinc]

!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.

[opal nexus]

already read that

[brisk zinc]

Why are you asking then?

[opal nexus]

i asked about high toolkit spawns locations

one sec

[brisk zinc]

Don't get me wrong there, I know it sound rude

[lunar harbor]

@shadow sapphire If the mountain won't come to Muhammad then Muhammad must go to the mountain KEKW

@shadow sapphire thx btw

[opal nexus]

there are special locations with toolkit spawns

i take they are removed in gamma right

[brisk zinc]

My robot man

If you're talking about basic/advanced/expert

They are indeed in GAMMA

[opal nexus]

uhm yes and also repair kits

both

[brisk zinc]

Repair kits are also in GAMMA

[brisk zinc]

This is literally the answer to your question

[opal nexus]

uhm no

[brisk zinc]

What

[opal nexus]

stashes/ high tier locations

i asked about something else
