[minor bone]

thats cool! Ill check you out when you stream the next time. Thx for the help, super appreciated.

[versed tusk]

[surreal pollen]

whats the number to let a faction to KOS you

[waxen bay]

any good spots to build a base?

[versed tusk]

wherever you wanna settle for a while

i do AW mostly

[median lagoon]

depends on your faction. I think in the middle of the zone, rosktok army ware house. Also the "base" would be just boxes where to put stuff

[compact coral]

if my cpu doesnt support avx should i still use the avx .exe?

[stone wolf]

can armor parts like cloth and textiles be repaired like weapon parts?

[versed tusk]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[versed tusk]

yes, above 50% you can repair them, but also they get repaired in an armor when you bring up the condition of the armor itself

[waxen bay]

where can i find basic tools accidentally turned mine in

[median lagoon]

do quests > get stash locations > loot stashes

[waxen bay]

how do i tell which stashes i got the locations for?

are they the green or white ones

[median lagoon]

both, green ones have more loot and chance for toolkits.

[waxen bay]

ok

[median lagoon]

I think you can get basic toolkit if you complete Hip quest, that also is depended on whether you are lucky to find the shotgun

To be honest you should not worry much on what is the fastest or best etc. Play and things will happens!!

[versed tusk]

One more way is Vodka in Yantar

[graceful iron]

you can try both avx and none and see if there is a difference in performance, but there will probably be none. seems its better to not use AVX

[rocky sigil]

I wouldn't use the AVX version, chance it might try to execute an AVX instruction and crash if your CPU doesn't support it.

[lusty quiver]

How much does toxic resistance should be in order not to die in toxic pounds like in 3 seconds?

[soft niche]

I aint running either yet, i need to know what gun is worth investing into and using, got one of each that have to be repaired. Current setup is a mossberg 870 and sks with pu scope

[buoyant stump]

I'm assuming you're loner?

[soft niche]

Yes and plan to stay a loner as i dont really like the idea of being bossed around but plan to operate mostly out of rostok till i got better gear

[buoyant stump]

go for the 74n. to be honest both guns don't have anything special going but the 74 has more ammo available at your traders. chances are you already did some quests for the loners and should be able to buy FMJ ammo

[soft niche]

Yeah, lvl 2 supply in cordon and working to get lvl 2 in rostok

[buoyant stump]

very nice, also keep the shotgun

[soft niche]

Aint no way im getting rid of it

It has saved my ass too many times to recall

Worth the historic kit it took

[versed tusk]

you will never be 100% resistant, especially as you go further north. it will always kill you, just not as fast tbh

sks and shotty carried me into AW

good stuff

[soft niche]

They call gods caliber.45 but I’m pretty sure its 12 gauge

[compact coral]

so far it hasnt but using a 2012 cpu on a heavily modded game makes it so i want to squeeze as much performance as possible

even with reduced graphics setting im barely reaching 60fps on the first town 😭

[lusty quiver]

i mean it is impossible to loot inside this anomalies because they kill even if haven't stepped inside them

i dunno, feels like they a bit OP imo

[rocky sigil]

!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

[versed tusk]

i do not advise going into Anomalies at the start, unless you have the correct suit for the anomaly you wanna dive into

[lusty quiver]

feels like Ace suit with Zaslon helmet is not enough

[versed tusk]

i use eco suits for it tbh - and there are ones for specific damage types

[soft niche]

So about base building.

Is it worth to setup near traders

[lusty quiver]

gotta kill some scientist then haha

[soft niche]

Or in remote areas

[versed tusk]

your choice - but I always do in AW/Rostock (depending on what I play as a faction) as it is central on the map and is near to traders

you can however set up in Radar if you feel like it

[soft niche]

Me setting up a base next to the c conscious

[lusty quiver]

oh I found what the matter was

there is certain threshold of 30% toxic resistance

once you get it you wont die inside "toxic area"

[waxen bay]

do i lose anything if i switch factions?

[lusty quiver]

a thousand rubles

[waxen bay]

thats it?

i dont lose my good will or status?

[willow hawk]

no

[waxen bay]

ok

[compact coral]

no avx + gpu oc bumped the framerate to high 70s

im very happy with the results, ty for your help anyway

[soft niche]

12000 you mean

Also, I’m impressed that stalkers shotguns arnt a 3 feet away or useless weapon. Very impressed that buckshot is able to hit a target farther away and good effect

Where in any other game, if i try to shoot anything farther and 3 feet, the spread becomes so huge i cant even hit the broad side of a barn

Should i invest into my sunrise stalker suit? Got a heavy armor helmet from a dead duty and plan to look for some better than my current armor but no idea what to look for

[versed tusk]

which toolkits doy ou have right now?

it's not a bad idea to invest in medium armor with advanced tools as it may take a while before you get Expert

[lunar cedar]

what main story lines are there for loners i only did one so for where you are looking for the legendary stalker

[wintry oar]

what's the surest, non-RNG way to acquire specific toolkits regardless of price? (like rifle, medium armor toolkit, etc).
Is there a mod for gamma that adds such a way?

[north turret]

Hi. Does the fast emissions make monolith npc explode or just other factions?

[versed tusk]

you find the toolkits first, then craft the repair kits

or, give your excess toolkits to a mechanic and buy them. what's cheaper is I think obvious

[wintry oar]

ugh

so pure RNG like in anomaly?

i wouldn't mind grinding 200-300k even maybe 400k for advanced toolkit.
I do have issues with Anomaly's RNG, where I was running in fully upgraded Exoskeleton (from Forester) and fully outfitted with artifacts/advanced armor plates before I found Basic toolkit.

I have that level of luck.

[empty phoenix]

There is a red vodka trade for basic toolkit in Yantar

[versed tusk]

I have good news for you, you wont run in any of this before you find the toolkits

[wintry oar]

what about advanceds?

[versed tusk]

the focus is crafting, not buying

[wintry oar]

have a bunch of AK's, medium armors, even a few VSS's and a Groza lying around.
Still on basic toolkit

[tidal raft]

Keep separate Anomaly folders.

[wintry oar]

what's the actual chance % for advanced toolkit spawning in stashes?

[viscid tendon]

Can you craft exosuits (radsuits) with the recipe from the ecologists

[graceful iron]

you cant craft armors

[viscid tendon]

So i need to find one on a body, aight

[wintry oar]

okay, i suppose there's none.
How many tens of hours do you usually spend until 1st advanced toolkit?

[tidal raft]

Within an hour.

[wintry oar]

how?

[tidal raft]

Doing tasks. Finding stashes.

[wintry oar]

advanced toolkit? Within a hour? not 10 or 20?

[soft niche]

I only have gun kits, historic is my only one right now, but i plan on making a heavy armor kit soon. I still need 2 basic tool kits for cordon and rostok

[graceful iron]

in addition to what aldourien already said, you can craft 5 basic kits into an advanced one

you just need to do quests and search the correct areas for marked stashes

[carmine wyvern]

Advanced really isnt that hard to get

Experts are where its at

[versed tusk]

so you are at basic tools still. you hopefully keep the toolkits and craft stuff? dont give away your only toolkit

[carmine wyvern]

Give Away for Quest / Sell if you got PLENTY

I had 6 Ammo Crafter Kits and made 24k lmao

[steel forge]

Whats the difference between rupture res and suit durability?

[carmine wyvern]

Rupture = Resistance against Mutants

[grizzled hornet]

hey hey, so could i still trade nemiroff vodkas in exchange for an armor (i forgot the name) with spirit (funny trader dude in yantar) in gamma?

[carmine wyvern]

No, only Ammo

[grizzled hornet]

welp

[carmine wyvern]

The paper he gives out is outdated

[grizzled hornet]

saddened

[carmine wyvern]

Would be too easy to get a good Armor

[brisk zinc]

The "paper"? What's that? A list of what he can do?

[carmine wyvern]

The Note

[grizzled hornet]

is that the chef thingy?

[carmine wyvern]

He gives the player about the amount for Vodka he needs

[graceful iron]

when you trade with spirit, he gives a chef note with his trades

[grizzled hornet]

nvm

oh

[carmine wyvern]

Ye

That Note still lists the Armor he used to sell

[graceful iron]

the dialogue with him was changed but not the note

[carmine wyvern]

Low Priority

[soft niche]

I do, but still i want to find a few more to give to technicians, being able to buy better stuff is always nice

[wintry oar]

Great, gave away 2 basics already.
Are marked (green?) stashes filled with fixed loot?

[graceful iron]

no

!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.

[wintry oar]

stash's inventory forms the moment it appears on your map?

[rocky sigil]

Np, good to know that avx doesn't cause a crash, but can lower performance on unsupported cpus

[wintry oar]

pfft

yeah, that shit still works, back from WoT era.

go complain on forums, get +to RNG instantly.

2 advanced toolkits in next stash I looked into.

stash inventory is created when you open the stash

[graceful iron]

did you follow the instructions in #╭📖faq ?

[edgy echo]

Does anyone ever got the "Play radiation clicks from Geiger counter only" setting to work ? I recall it was working some time ago but I'm not sure about that. Not working on vanilla anomaly either lol

[clear dagger]

yeah but some options were different, like no hand gun and smg option, i may have installed tools and repair as well

[wintry oar]

I tried to reload before going to map and opening the green stash again... though i only paid to basic toolkits there.

Anyway, this means i can savescum the stashes to avoid 15+ hours of grinding like I just had?

[graceful iron]

no

save/reload can change the contents of the stash, but not the toolkit

[wintry oar]

Thats' why I hate the rng mechanics, because it hates me.
Getting same result many times in a row with a 50% chance is completely normal to me.
Let alone 5% chance that easily turns into a 30-50 attempts.

[graceful iron]

#old-only-installer-support message its supposed to be updated with this one

[wintry oar]

only for green stash, or for whites/any other stash too?

[tidal raft]

Stash contents are rolled upon receiving the stash coordinates. @wintry oar

[wintry oar]

okay.

[graceful iron]

i guess it was the zcp items that grok disabled recently ?

[clear dagger]

hmmm i may be missing something...

i did the DLTX and module selection as well

[tidal raft]

ZCP's random items within containers are still random. They are the only items affected by reloading saves.

[wintry oar]

what's the chance of double-advanced toolkit in a white stash, exactly?

[tidal raft]

Quite low, but it is possible.

[compact coral]

water aint supposed to look like this right?

[graceful iron]

i have seen things "roll" when opening the stash, and i had times where on a reloaded save the stash had different items.
one recent example: first time it had a saiga dushman with a suppressor on it and 2 parts functional. second time the saiga didnt have a suppressor and only one functional part

i believe not everything is affected by this, but i am almost certain items are created when opening the stash

[tidal raft]

Attachments and quality will change, but not the base contents.

[graceful iron]

no. that might be an effect of something you changed

[versed tusk]

did you disable/change water effects in settings?

[graceful iron]

whats the version of the addon you have installed ?

[steel forge]

so i want to use nato weapons does it make sense to fight for duty to kill more freedom guys to have more chance to find good nato weapons or i'll lose too much upgrades from the freedom trader?

[compact coral]

ticking again soft water only makes it look 1% better

but it still has the broken geometry lmao

[graceful iron]

you will have to restart the game or delete shaders cache for some graphics settings to apply

[compact coral]

ah

[tidal raft]

inb4 AMD gpu.

[compact coral]

where do i delete the shader cache

[compact coral]

thank God i aint using that garbage

[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.

[compact coral]

pog

[graceful iron]

you can always just buy the NATO ammo and attachments from clear sky

[steel forge]

i am in clear sky ahah

[graceful iron]

also, you dont have to help duty fight freedom unless you want to do that. you can do different quests that dont include fighting the other faction

[steel forge]

makes sense

Hello my game is crashing after update what can I do?

[warped ginkgo]

!questions

[raw raft]

Please, answer these questions, help us better understand your problem.

YOUR MOD LIST MUST BE VANILLA. Any other mod added by you or that isn't enabled by default is considered as a "modded mod list" and you should ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support.

1. GAMMA doesn't work anymore with Anomaly 1.5.1, have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !152)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !windows7 or !windows11
3. Where do you keep Anomaly and GAMMA? We need the full path of these two folders
4. How many active mods do you have in your mod list? The default is #📍577-mods-in-mo2
5. Have you enabled or disabled something? Can you see any red crosses in your mod list?
6. IF ASKED, send your crash log and your mod, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send: !crash and !modlist

(I'll add more if I can think of any, suggestions are appreciated)

[graceful iron]

post your crash log

[viscid sparrow]

1. Its on 1.5.1
2. Windows 10
3. D:Anomaly D:GAMMA
4. 328
5. Cant rembeber

!crash

[raw raft]

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

[graceful iron]

i seem to have the compat patches on the same version you can try downloading the addon manually and then installing it using mo2

[viscid sparrow]

Ty in advance

[graceful iron]

you didnt update in a while? did you use full installation or just only gamma addons to update ?

[clear dagger]

will try to to do this tys

[graceful iron]

after installing, make sure to put it in the correct spot in the modlist

@viscid sparrow make sure to update anomaly to 1.5.2 and if you didnt update in a while, make sure to update using a full installation through the installer(updating anomaly by following the instructions will update gamma as well, no need to run a full installation twice)

!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

[graceful iron]

!installer

[raw raft]

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

How to update the installer:

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

[viscid sparrow]

@graceful iron gamma now works with 1.5.2?

[graceful iron]

yes. 1.5.2 is now required

[viscid sparrow]

Thats the problem

ty

i will update

[graceful iron]

make sure you have the latest installer before doing anything else. an outdated installer will cause more issues

latest one is 3.7

[viscid sparrow]

ok I will check, ty for the help

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron if you need a Maid guide, search for a message from strelok

I forgot to tell you this

I'm still gone for a week so my brain is running on empty

[waxen bay]

is this a real helmet or just npc model

[brisk zinc]

Should be an exohelm, if I'm getting the name right

It's something you can find and wear, yes

[waxen bay]

idk if this is an exo suit

[brisk zinc]

I think you can also wear that but I don't remember the name

[warped ginkgo]

you can equip it, it's a exohelm
but remember that it wont reflect it on third person

the visual depends on the outfit

[waxen bay]

ok gotcha

[lunar cedar]

hello is there a guide concerning storylines in this game, i am currently only doing side stuff but i have heard there are plenty of mainquests

[versed tusk]

I dont think there is a full questline guide per se. best bet is to talk to your faction-leader to start them

[lunar cedar]

alright thank you!

[versed tusk]

which faction are you rn?

just to make sure

[lunar cedar]

currently loner

currently i am doing the living legend questline

[wooden zodiac]

Why cant you trade with random stalkers?

[shadow sapphire]

Gamma economy. If you want a lore reason: Gear is hard to come by these days, and they need to keep hold of what they have. But effectively its to ensure no weird bugs with the trading allowing you to skip gamma economy would be my guess.

[graceful iron]

already did. dont worry

[soft niche]

Any one else get stash cords where there isnt any stash?

I got 2 stash cords but theres nothing there, one led into an anomaly

Both are in garbage

Around the junk yard

[sweet cedar]

Is there any way to make underground areas pitch-black dark? for example this is the entry way to lab 18 but it's lit by ambient light despite being underground

[shadow sapphire]

Send screen shot of PDA please and tell me where you looked

[soft niche]

Currently not at home, tho one stash in near the fire anomaly in garbage, located around a btr and a fire truck

Close to the entrance

But theres nothing there

[shadow sapphire]

The one thats in the little guard shack?

[soft niche]

The stash cords dont show it being in the shack

It shows it being around a old btr and fire truck in the junk yard

[shadow sapphire]

Oh, yeah its under the btr

[clear dagger]

DLTX works now, but uh... ash-12 with upgrade kit broke

[shadow sapphire]

well actually in the btr I think

[soft niche]

How would i get it if its in the dam thing?

[shadow sapphire]

There is a very small hatch on the side thats open

[graceful iron]

its the only icon thats broken ?

[soft niche]

Also what are ways of find basic tool kits?

I’m aware of stashes

And hip gave me one

[shadow sapphire]

You can trade vodka to spirit for one, other than that stashes I believe

[soft niche]

Where is spirit located?

[shadow sapphire]

Yantar

[clear dagger]

seems like it is

[pure scarab]

hey how do i spawn items in?

for some reason Hip has eaten my seva suit and helmet

[shadow sapphire]

Launch game in debug mode -> F7. Do you have the comapnions wear armor mod on, because if so she is wearing it.

[pure scarab]

no i dont

[shadow sapphire]

weird. But yeah Hit F7 with debug mode on go to the item spawner

[graceful iron]

you moved the addon to its correct spot in the modlist? it should be number 193 in the modlist

replace the old one

[pure scarab]

how do i launch in debug mod?

[graceful iron]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[clear dagger]

yup its on 193, should i toggle patches?

[graceful iron]

its not needed

oh wait

the coffee mod

i guess you do need them

[wooden zodiac]

@shadow sapphire What is gamma economy exactly?

[clear dagger]

will reinstall with patch

[shadow sapphire]

The mod, or like how does it work in game?

[wooden zodiac]

Like that is just part of the economy system of the game or? Also does the man who shows up at the flea market at night still do that?

@shadow sapphire

Oh nevermind I think I just found him. I didnt remember him being on the lower level

[graceful iron]

all the economy changes like trader progression and not being able to sell or buy guns and armor and the NATO/WP trader system

[pure scarab]

do i have to launch vanilla atleast once with debug mode before launching in from MO2?

[graceful iron]

also, looking at the scripts it seems to control some aspects of npc loot drops and a few other economy and progression related changes

[shadow sapphire]

Not really, just open launcher through mo2 click debug, click save settings in bottom right.

[wooden zodiac]

NPCs seem to drop alot more ammo or at least they do based on the settings I've been using.

[pure scarab]

i did it aint working xD

[wooden zodiac]

It always annoyed me even when the drops setting was turned up in base Anomaly that NPCs dropped like 10 bullets...you mean to tell me a dude was walking around the Radar with 10 bullets?

[graceful iron]

lower difficulty settings cause increased drop rates and many aspects are easier

[pure scarab]

oh nvm

me dumb

[shadow sapphire]

They do drop more ammo as you dont have to right click -> unload gun, they are unloaded automatically.

[wooden zodiac]

I like more realism. I want to kill in a few bullets but also be killed. I don't like things being difficult for the sake of being difficult. Speaking of realism...they made it so you got all kinds of ways to put in new barrels and bolts but whoever made it is forgetting (unless I didn't find it yet) very very basic gun maintenance. For example it really is needed to scrub the chamber with a metal wire brush to get all the gunk out otherwise you have jams. Its like if they had for medical aid surgery but no bandages, it wouldnt make alot of sense. Just my 2 centws

[viscid sparrow]

@graceful iron Its working ty for the help, have anice day

[shadow sapphire]

The way that is replicated is if you keep the gun clean the internal parts wont take damage for a bit and when they do, they take less. If the gun is kept dirty the parts will break quickly.

[wooden zodiac]

Yeah I see that, I just wish for all the gun meaintinence parts they have just give me a wire brush. Maybe I'm just damaged lol from the hours spent scrubbing chambers when I was a kid.

[shadow sapphire]

And also the dirtier, or more broken parts are, the more likely a jam will occur

[shadow sapphire]

There are cleaning kits so in your head think of it as the old winchester box that has all the brushes and swatches and buffers.

[clear dagger]

ash12 with s.u.p still broke apparently, even with patch :/

[graceful iron]

this fix is probably completely unrelated, but you can try

!texture

[raw raft]

Missing icons: #╭📖faq message

[wooden zodiac]

Yeah that makes sense. Sorry I'm just a stickler for details. Are there any plans to make it so tactical reloads make you lose the ammo in the mag you drop? Or make is so you can reload faster if you do that but you lose it like in Insurgency Sandstorm? I don't know if y'all are familiar with that game

[shadow sapphire]

That would depend on the MAGS Redux team. GAMMA does not use mags by default but does come with the ability to turn mags redux on.

[plush dawn]

Which Skat-9 is better? Freedom or duty version?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly I dont remember the stats off the top of my head, maybe cat does, otherwise send screen shot of each armors stats

[graceful iron]

could you specify, which duty version? there are quiet a few of them

[clear dagger]

its on the max already

[graceful iron]

you can also check their stats and if they are damaged, hold left CTRL to see the full condition stats

[wooden zodiac]

How do I turn mags redux on? Do I need a new game for that?\

[graceful iron]

and the linked fix?

[graceful iron]

!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.

[graceful iron]

you dont need a new game

[plush dawn]

Oh, didn't know that

[clear dagger]

oh whoops didn't see the linked fixed one, gonna check it

[plush dawn]

I would say "one that you can trade in another armor for" but someone said a few days ago that there is no list of traded armors

Gonna check myself with debug then, thanks

[graceful iron]

oh, you are trying to trade one of them for the other?

[plush dawn]

Yep, got military one but want more than 1 artifact slot and I don't want to go all the way to the swamps for cs one

Or at least one without 3rd tier upgrade

[minor bone]

why is it that when you turn Vsync on, frame rate drops? In the same area when I have vsync off I get 1110-120fps but as soon as I turn it on it drops to 72-80 consistently

[pure scarab]

also are my scopes supposed to be working with night vision?

[proud flicker]

Anyone know where I can safely stash my items? at cordon and just started.

[shadow sapphire]

Any stash box, I typically use the box by the fire at the farm

[graceful iron]

there are a few boxes you can store things in at rookie village

you can also place your own stashes using backpacks or other stash items crafted or bought

[proud flicker]

ahhh okay. thank you 😉

Please, answer these questions, help us better understand your problem.

YOUR MOD LIST MUST BE VANILLA. Any other mod added by you or that isn't enabled by default is considered as a "modded mod list" and you should ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support.

1. GAMMA doesn't work anymore with Anomaly 1.5.1, have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !152)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !windows7 or !windows11
3. Where do you keep Anomaly and GAMMA? We need the full path of these two folders
4. How many active mods do you have in your mod list? The default is #📍577-mods-in-mo2
5. Have you enabled or disabled something? Can you see any red crosses in your mod list?
6. IF ASKED, send your crash log and your mod, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send: !crash and !modlist

(I'll add more if I can think of any, suggestions are appreciated)

[graceful iron]

post the log

[sharp hollow]

Hey guys. Scammovich disappeared, tried to spawn him by guide, game just crashes. What should i do?

Tried other saves, he disappeared long ago, didn't notice

[graceful iron]

could you check if this addon is enabled or not?

[verbal lynx]

Anyone else getting much longer save / load times?
My quicksaves used to be instant - but now taking avg 20 seconds.
Loading saves and loading into new areas are taking very long as well.

Had no issues in 1.5.1 - only started after updating to 1.5.2

[sharp hollow]

Enabled

[graceful iron]

thats why he disappeared then

in the most recent gamma that addon should be disabled

[sharp hollow]

so i should turn it off and he'll appear in my last save?

[graceful iron]

still not sure if there is any way to spawn him, but it doesnt seem like it

you should disable the addon but it wont fix the issue

[sharp hollow]

that's real bad

[shadow sapphire]

Update your gamma for one, as you have an old version if this happened. Then try this: try this debug menu> execute npc logic (if I remeber correctly) put correct name and smart terrain in fields

[graceful iron]

did anyone successfully spawn him? everyone reported crashing when spwning him as far as i know

[shadow sapphire]

Supposedly this method of spawning him works.

[lunar cedar]

what is a good mutants population factor? .25 seems a bit low i think or am i trippin

[lyric steeple]

btw, congrats on the promotion/demotion to being an official mod! 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

Thanks

[minor star]

Mutant population is controlled by ZCP in the mcm menu

[plush dawn]

For anybody interested, trading military skat-9 to Petrenko resulted in PSZ-9kl command armour

[lyric steeple]

I actually have a question about that.

[lunar cedar]

are the basic values balanced or should i change sth there?

[lyric steeple]

does it take time? asked for a trade, choose medium armor. and then nothing happened.

[minor star]

By basic you mean the ones under the normal settings?

[lunar cedar]

the standard values of ZCP

[minor star]

Standard values of ZCP are pretty balanced imo

The zone feels alive and there are enough mutants/stalkers around the map

[lunar cedar]

alright good to know thanks!

[plush dawn]

You did not have compatible armor in inventory

It's instant

[lyric steeple]

ah ok

[plush dawn]

Try different options

Different factions (traders? I have checked sid, petrenko and skinflint) got different options for trading

[lyric steeple]

sounds good thank you

[versed tusk]

it works at the faction leaders, as member of the faction and takes armor + money

(member also means being in disguise)

[lyric steeple]

I had a military armor that I wanted to swap out. but maybe it doesnt swap

[shadow sapphire]

did you take the patch off it?

[lyric steeple]

dont remember. does that screw it up?

[shadow sapphire]

Patch has to be on it. Which armor is it?

[lyric steeple]

um one sec

does it need to be a certain level of repair?

and can i repair a patch after i take it oof?

[shadow sapphire]

I dont believe it will still count if you put a new patch on via disguise system. And no it doesnt have to be repaired, but you get the same durability you give. So if you full repair youll get full repair in return

[graceful iron]

does it?

[shadow sapphire]

According to #╭📖faq / #│📚manual (one of the two) yes, if that changed then lol

[lyric steeple]

sentinel of freedom, and Brill 5m

the patch on the sentinel is busted.

but the brill one is fine.

maybe i didnt have enough money or something. shrug

[shadow sapphire]

The Brill should be tradeable I believe as its not a unique, and other factions have bril. The sentinel I am not sure of.

[graceful iron]

never knew about that. its in #╭📖faq, just checked

[median gazelle]

lost a companion. any way to get him to come to you ?

[shadow sapphire]

enable teleport companion mod, load game, press J

[median gazelle]

@shadow sapphire thank you

[sharp hollow]

What's the name of first location in english? Can't find it in smart terrain names

[shadow sapphire]

Cordon. I believe the screen shot has the proper stuff in there if you make it original size.

It doesnt. Let me find it for you

its going to be under esc

or escape as thats the real name for cordon

[sharp hollow]

Ok

[median gazelle]

pressing J and hes not teleporting. does it ONLY work on rescue mission targets ?

[shadow sapphire]

No, should work on all, Check keybinds, and also make sure you closed game and re opened it.

[median gazelle]

yea i did both. its alright tho ill live with it i guess

[versed tusk]

iirc it has a max. range, no?

[graceful iron]

are they on a different map ?

[sharp hollow]

and what esc_smart_terrain should I choose for Sidorovich?

[shadow sapphire]

Oof, let me checkl

[sharp hollow]

That would be great

[shadow sapphire]

Luckily for you I am already in the core game files XD. Will still take a couple minutes

[median gazelle]

it worked. didnt relise he was set as "wait here"

[shadow sapphire]

It should just be esc_2_12

[sharp hollow]

NIce, i'll try rn

Nope, still crashes

Maybe bc i didn't get the part about execute npc logic

[viscid sparrow]

I have one random loner tranie trying to kill me in the farm, anyone knows why? or what could do this? is the only one agressive of the 20 stalkers there

[versed tusk]

did you accidentally shoot him?

[viscid sparrow]

I dont think so

[versed tusk]

does leavin/re-enetring the map persist the issue?

[viscid sparrow]

yep, I just kill him in front of 20 loners and no one give a shit...

[shadow sapphire]

Try it like this

[viscid sparrow]

its a bandit disguised xD

[versed tusk]

[shadow sapphire]

You dont need to execute logic Hit F7, go to object spawner (2 on number row) Fill in the top box, check spawn at smart terrain, pick l01 escape as level and 2_12 as the smart terrain.

[sharp hollow]

That'll take a minute

loading time after updating is killing me

[soft niche]

Fun fact, if you ever get into a vehicle while having a companion, dont worry about them. Pedal to the medal and once your far away they all of a sudden turn into marathon athletes that have the agility of Usain Bolt if he had a jet engine strapped to him

Comes in handy in a place like the darkscape if you gotta do a rescue and dont feel like dealing with a long walk plus mutants

[sharp hollow]

Nah, game crashes

Welp, no Scammerovich it is then

[shadow sapphire]

Sorry man.

[sharp hollow]

Np, at least you tried

Thanks anyway!

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime, good luck!

[median gazelle]

how do you get wooden parts ?

[sharp hollow]

Break down shovels etc

[versed tusk]

shovels, guitars, ball peen hammers

[median gazelle]

that makes sense thank you im an idiot sometimes

[shadow sapphire]

Boxes, and a few other items.

[sharp hollow]

So, if my Sidorovich vanished, who should I level up to get cool gun parts and ammo?

Scientists don't have ammo trader, so they're useless

[versed tusk]

Sid is a scammer anyway

[sharp hollow]

Duty?

[versed tusk]

if you wan WP ammo - duty

[sharp hollow]

easiest to lvl up

[versed tusk]

NATO would be CS or Freedom

they are all the same kinda

freedom may a bit too far north for a starter

CS and Duty would give you both tbh

and you want both imo

[sharp hollow]

CS are on swamps, bleh

[versed tusk]

they give a shitton of money early

and good rewards

dont sleep on GS

[lusty quiver]

I was just doing my stuff at the monolith base for like half an hour and this lost companion himself ran back to me. I haven't seem him like for 2 days

[median gazelle]

my guy mustve been stuck under the map. cuz i was at his location and he wasnt there lol. but i enabled the teleport companion mod and got him back

[lusty quiver]

yea same, i lost him in wild territories

[plush falcon]

Hey, I am having trouble enabling the debug menu for gamma. I've tried checking the debug menu box in the anomaly launcher settings but that didn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to enable it?

[median gazelle]

thats all u have to do. make sure u launch it through mod organizer

[plush falcon]

What about launching Anomaly (DX11-AVX) or does it not matter?

[median gazelle]

i think as long as DX11 is ticked in the launcher, its fine

[sleek delta]

I started a new quest with ecologists to find somebody but it instantly failed, what's up with that?

[plush falcon]

Gotcha, thank you for the help!

[shadow sapphire]

How many active mods?

[sleek delta]

346

[shadow sapphire]

Please go to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[warped ginkgo]

can somebody try equipping a weapon in first person, going to third person, then fpp again and see if the weapon is still visible?

i think it's a bug in 1.5.2, the weapon turns invisible but you can still shoot/reload, the only way to make it appear again is hiding and bringing it back again with the keybind

[shadow sapphire]

let me figure out the third person key and I will

[shadow sapphire]

Yup, can reproduce

[warped ginkgo]

damn

[frosty badger]

hi ive tried everything i can ctrl f in here, but I can't seem to fix the campfire stutter still, is there a way I can apply this fix https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/7kqtk9/campfire_stutter_fix_no_driver_meddling_required/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share to this pack? i dont have any ltx files in my anomaly folder, do i have to unpack it or something? i already tried volumetric smoke off, borderless, fps 60 limit, nvidia global triple buffering on, disable fullscreen optimizations, gamma full updated yesterday and vanilla. other than campfires my fps is pretty smooth/stable

[vivid pawn]

I have tryed to optimize gamma cause of slutters freezes and after all I can't run Anomaly DX11-AVX. What should I do?

[shadow sapphire]

The best place to ask that question is #🔨modded-gamma-support. I am assuming you attempted enabling triple buffering on GPU?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #old-framerate-optimisation If you have done all of that and are running in DX8, I am not sure there is anything else we can recommend, maybe try #🔨modded-gamma-support to see if there are mods that might help

[warped ginkgo]

tried on anomaly vanilla 1.5.1 and 1.5.2

looks like it's a bug
same happens

: (

[shadow sapphire]

Oof. I would try reporting it to them I guess.

[frosty badger]

Yeah i tried triple buffering on in global nvidia settings

[vivid pawn]

In the beginning it works with dx11. I tryed with dx10 and dx9 (cause of freeze with dx11) but it didnt work. Does this means I cant play with dx11 since now?

[shadow sapphire]

dx11 works fine for me, If you are having performance issues and dx10 works better for you then use 10, also dx9 is not supported.

[fair vigil]

How do i remove z from the remove patch keybind

[warped ginkgo]

MCM settings

[vivid pawn]

The problem is that now I cant use dx11 or dx10 (due to a shader compilation problem). Also it looks like I have the same problems with dx8

[fair vigil]

what is MCM settings , im new to this

[warped ginkgo]

go to the menu

[shadow sapphire]

Then you will need to go to #🤖bot-commands and type !default

[warped ginkgo]

while in the main menu or in game,

there is a option called Mod configuration menu

click it and it will open a window with all the addons that have mcm settings included

search for something that says patch or the name of the addon

[fair vigil]

TY

TYVM

[rain cargo]

I know I’ll catch hell for asking this but….Is it possible to turn off the advanced healing and health system and just use base stalker stuff?

[vivid pawn]

Okey. I have tryed every #old-framerate-optimisation and reinstalled addons but I have the same freezes in DX11 as DX8. Should I surrender with this slutter freeze?

[frosty mist]

Are u using the 1.5.2 anomaly and did u check the "check this if u stutter" box in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !bhs

[vivid pawn]

Yep I have 1.5.2 also wheres that box?

[frosty mist]

type in "stutter" in mo2 search box

i had heavy stutters in 1.5.1 and without this option checked

now the game is smooth as butter

im using dx 11 with avx

[vivid pawn]

Nothing here

[shadow sapphire]

Stutter not slutter

[frosty mist]

yikes

[warped ginkgo]

LMAO

slutter

[frosty mist]

hahahahahaha

[vivid pawn]

Oh ajkajaja

[frosty badger]

ok i tried this post i found 'I turned on vsync and set Low Latency mode to Ultra using the nvidia control panel' and it seems to fix the fire stutters now. (it seems to work with vsync off too, and in fullscreen as well)

[vivid pawn]

Okay I will try it

[rain cargo]

What about allowing guns to be bought and sold, or does gamma modify the traders buy/sell list to prevent them

[versed tusk]

same ordeal, #🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla

[vivid pawn]

I keep having that horrible freeze. Welp I wish its an hardware problem but I think I surrender. I suppose some freeze wont kill me. Thank for all your help guys I appreciate it!

[frosty mist]

If u ever wonder about changing certain gamma features, there's a search box on top right of your discord screen where u can type in whatever u want

It'll show u all conversations relating to what u type in there

[quaint shadow]

are death animations now part of the stealth mod? Whenever I enable it it overrides all the stealth stuff, and when I click view on ModDB it takes me to this page https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/stealth1, which is already enabled on the gamma modlist

[frosty mist]

have you checked if the RAM usage solution is applied to your game?

[vivid pawn]

It doesnt use many RAM but wheres that solution?

[lunar cedar]

what does the "artificial_difficulty_removal_RC" mod exactly do?

[frosty mist]

it's already applied to your game but u can check it in "STALKER\Anomaly-1.5.2\appdata\user.ltx"

line 262 should be called ram usage something, make sure its set to "on"

[warped ginkgo]

whats that

[frosty mist]

Also what's your stalker population set to?

[vivid pawn]

I suppose its default

Also at line 262 it appears "r__supersample 1"

[frosty mist]

hmmm guess it changed from before then

what's your pc specs

[vivid pawn]

Cant see anything related with RAM

[lunar cedar]

i dont know a disabled mod sitting in the "261-" category in mod2

[vivid pawn]

i7-10700K - RTX 3060 ti - 16 GB RAM

The only hardware problem I can imagine its that I have the game at HDD

[frosty mist]

and u have heavy stutters? How often do they occur, are they random or when u do something specific?

HDD is a huge deal ofc

especially for Alife

but it should fall more on your cpu

[vivid pawn]

They occur randomly I tested it at Stalker Camp corssing the road side to side and eventually it happened but dissapear quickly

Something that I have seen is that GPU goes at 90%

[frosty mist]

this wont cause stutters

[versed tusk]

def sounds like Alife

i havent read the whole convo - the "stutter" addon is on?

[frosty mist]

yes

[versed tusk]

k

[frosty mist]

his specs are more than enough

it's either hdd or files missing/conflicting

[versed tusk]

yeah - maybe worth going into the Alife files and increasing the interval and distance manually

better CPU, more calculations possible

but its hard to gauge

[vivid pawn]

How i could do that?

[versed tusk]

anomaly > gamedata > configs > alife.ltx - but i dont know about the values tbh

[frosty mist]

im no expert, but if u start messing with configs you might as well take a fresh install into account

[versed tusk]

lots of people did this - just gotta find one that remembers this

[frosty mist]

true, who's up?

lets poke the fresh mod @shadow sapphire

[vivid pawn]

Maybe it will works better if I reinstall the game into the ssd

[versed tusk]

ssd is always preferred

but alife is CPU bound

[frosty mist]

ssd will work better ofc but its not guaranteed to get rid of your stutters

what did u change from vanilla gamma

[vivid pawn]

Everything that appears in #old-framerate-optimisation

[frosty mist]

and when was the last time u did a "full install" on the gamma launcher

[vivid pawn]

But i returned it to default

[shadow sapphire]

Wait. Youre on a hard drive?

[vivid pawn]

Only the game

[frosty mist]

This might be stupid to ask but, how full is your hdd

[shadow sapphire]

Are gamma and anomaly on seperate drives?

[frosty mist]

please say no

[vivid pawn]

Nope

Both at hdd

[wise gull]

anyone got field strip weapons from npc bodies working?

did a full install and nothing

[versed tusk]

ye, works like a charm

[wise gull]

is this a separate mod in mo?

[paper hamlet]

Is there any way to get death animations mod working? When I enable it the AI stops shooting at me or one another.

[bleak nest]

ight I swear there was a setting to remove your round count in the bottom left.

[versed tusk]

i dont think so - should be on anyway if you do a install

any red X in your mo2?

and Anomaly is up to date too?

[vivid pawn]

yesterday when I installed the game

[deft jasper]

Someone help me. I'm starting a vanilla game and my stalker is stronk.

[terse hawk]

anyone know if this is intended?

[shadow sapphire]

One is used to craft army rifle kits, one is not.

[bleak nest]

@shadow sapphire congrats on the role

[terse hawk]

ohh alright, so the duzak is just a crafting item

[shadow sapphire]

Thanks!

[terse hawk]

is it always best to just use dvojak solo or is there any cost efficient item? i noticed its only 35 per % restored, and no other item comes even close

[tidal raft]

Rusak is used as a crafting component, in addition to restoring firearm durability.

[shadow sapphire]

Whats going on with yours?

[versed tusk]

I can see quite a few issues

[bleak nest]

other then the grain? broken food meter

[deft jasper]

I think the UI is broken, but I didn't touch anything vanila install

[tidal raft]

Check the compatibility patch in MCM for status bars.

"Compatibility with GAMMA UI"

[willow hawk]

your math is wrong

[terse hawk]

oh shit whered i fuck up? the duzak is 390/charge with 6% restored so 65 rubles/%
dvojak is 490/charge with 14% restored so 35 rubles/%
did i flip it somewhere?

[deft jasper]

it's work!! thank you

[willow hawk]

the lower the min repair %, the more expansive they are, they all are with 5 charges

[terse hawk]

ohh right... its used for just repairing at 94%... im an idiot lol

[wintry oar]

damn, if only I knew SKS can mount PU scope. Would be a gamechanger in beginning vs bandits. in gun description it said it can't (in previous version ,at least, haven't updated to new one)

Also, reading patchnotes, how come SV98 now needs Rifle repair kit, when SVD requires advanced one?

[supple idol]

if you right click a weapon and click details you can see all compatible attachments fyi

oh

[wintry oar]

not on starting screen tho

[supple idol]

thats true yeah

[versed tusk]

SV98 was changed to give one more sniper option early/mid game

[wintry oar]

it's a much more modern platform than SVD tho

I'm confused

[deft turtle]

so stalkers can drop maps now if your version is non-accessible zone

[supple idol]

they always dropped maps

was just low chance

and military only I believe not sure if thats changed now

[uneven ocean]

Hello this is my 1st play through of STALKER I only played the game a few times before but never finished it, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do next in my area/faction. I selected Freedom and I have a quest in Jupiter it looks like but the psy is to powerful for me and I can't figure out what to do around me, I have not even completed one quest 😦

[supple idol]

You want to just do some quests in the southern part of map

and get psy helmet from sakharov in yantar

do not go to red forest or anywhere that north or higher or you will likely be fukt

[willow hawk]

SV98 is bolt action

[versed tusk]

do smaller quests, gear up and farm. start in the south (Cordon, Garbage, Swamps) - once you are better geared go to Yantar and talk to the scientists, get the Psy Helmet

[uneven ocean]

Okay sounds like a start I'll try and figure it out thanks man 🙂

[willow hawk]

it has a nice mounted scope, so you don't need to spend RU on buying one

[supple idol]

You can get a lot of quests in the freedom hub, you can go to rookie village and get a lot of quests there (rookie quest/cordon is way easier stuff)

[willow hawk]

SV98 is a solid choice compared to mosin or SKS

[uneven ocean]

Okay that sounds good I tried going towards Ratnok or something and killed every Duty guard for the fun of it because I had no idea what to do I ended up just going back to a save before it though

[supple idol]

@uneven ocean if you can get a few quests done you will get some much needed early cashmoney and you will get stash locations added to map which are very important to go and loot

Just going to enemy camps and genociding them is normally not worth it

[uneven ocean]

Ya I was just running by and did not realize it was Duty so I had a little shootout haha

[supple idol]

if you want to pass through rostok you can do so quite easily with a 100% durability disguise

[quaint shadow]

So how do items that give repair bonuses work? do they just need to be in my inventory and i get a bonus?

[deft turtle]

like supporting materials?

[supple idol]

You consume a supporting material

[versed tusk]

they appear in the repair screen on the left window

[quaint shadow]

like this steel wool i have, gives +8

[supple idol]

so you can consume it for some repairs and get +8 durability

[versed tusk]

mhm, if you click it, it gets added to the repair value of the initial item

[deft turtle]

you choose to have it consumed or not.

Items with charges only have 1 charge consumed

[supple idol]

yeah thats a good point and most items for repair like glue have more than 1

Good to note its the same for quests, if a guy asks you to get 3X glue he just wants 3 charges

[deft turtle]

Can you select between different armor supporting materials

[supple idol]

So you can get some easy to complete quests for goodwill and a little cash and potential stash loc that way

[deft turtle]

or do you just need to have the one you want to use in your inventory

[supple idol]

you just need the one you want in in ventory

and if you have an eligible support material

it appears in the left window

in the repair screen

[versed tusk]

best tip - always carry a cloth mask

[deft turtle]

yeah, I was talking about using armor parts as supporting materials

[supple idol]

I think wet undies are good too

[deft turtle]

why?

[versed tusk]

light and great bonuses

[supple idol]

Collect the wet undies

[wintry oar]

so purely on that? Allright.

[supple idol]

it has high repair bonus

so you use way less repair materials with a good supportive material

[deft turtle]

depending on it's percentage quality or is it same across board

[wintry oar]

How does BR Class work exactly? And, after disabling economy and looking at merchant inventory - is there even a helmet between BR15 and 31 ?

[versed tusk]

[deft turtle]

BR class is directly related to the ammo that is being shot at you I believe

[wintry oar]

I meant how it affects damage calc

[versed tusk]

there is a formula for it, kinda long.
but in very short terms, AP subtracts from BR until it hits 0, then it does damage - iirc

[deft turtle]

#│📚manual message

[wintry oar]

Ammo Armor Penetration (AP) power is compared to the limb armor of the opponent. If the AP power > limb armor, damages are applied. If AP power < limb armor, no damages are applied and limb armor is reduced based on AP power. Ammo with low AP power thus need to break an opponents limb armor before starting doing damage
So how exactly that happens? The part where "no damages are applied and limb armor is reduced based on AP power".

so 2 BR30 shots into same limb counts as one BR60, of sort?

[deft turtle]

I uh, i'm sorry idk

I think this is only against enemies

not enemy to player

So do artifacts lose charge/quality over time

also there's like the regular artifacts that need to go into containers and like the new artifacts

[shadow sapphire]

Sorta. As far as I am aware it works like this:

I am shooting someone with BR60 armor, and I have AP50 Ammo. The first shot is going to do no damage at all. BUT it will change the BR60 of that specific limb to BR10. So the second shot will do full normal damage.

[wintry oar]

And i assume after that cycle repeats itself?
How long BR reduction lasts?

[deft turtle]

I mean idk how it works on the players end

[pure frigate]

in my inventory stash, trader etc. my scrolling is really slow can i change that somewhere?

[tidal raft]

!inventory

[raw raft]

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

[deft turtle]

sorry i'm just a bit confused about artifacts

[deft turtle]

.

[shadow sapphire]

Only non-radio active artifacts decay, and only radioactive artifacts need containers or Application modules

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly I am not sure how long it lasts, my assumption would be either a) until the combat is ended or b) the armor is repaired.

[deft turtle]

ok and non radio artifacts can be used to craft radio artifacts

how do you repair non radio artifacts

also if they degrade isn't it just better to pursue ones that don't?

[shadow sapphire]

All artifacts are used in crafting

[versed tusk]

here - I found it

shit.power = wpn_hit_power / ( 1 + dist / 200 * ( air_res * 0.5 / ( 1 - air_res + 0.1 ))) * k_hit * custom_bone_dmg_mult * custom_bone_ap_scale * 1.1 * sniper_bad_bone_shit_reduce * barrel_condition_corrected * sin_res

have fun

[willow hawk]

Yes

More or less

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on where you are at in the game, radioactive artifacts have different effects based on quality of them. So a non-radio artifact will probably be better until you get to decent quality radio artis.

[willow hawk]

Infinite

As long as you don’t change maps or reload

[uneven ocean]

Is there a way to up the weapon spawn chance or the durability with them? just want it to be like 1.2 or something

[deft turtle]

but that's only on enemy right? how does it work when the player get's shot? it's a different system

[willow hawk]

Reloading mid fight resets Br class of npc

[willow hawk]

Ammo AP vs BR class of player armor.if BR > AP it gives a huge damage reduction

[deft turtle]

and player br class isn't lowered when it's shot

[willow hawk]

No

It’s lowered based on armor condition

[deft turtle]

cool

[willow hawk]

Which decreases when getting shot

[deft turtle]

yeah but like in a different way

[willow hawk]

But very slowly

Yes

[supple idol]

i dont know how you can do that or if its possible but if you can get a basic toolkit from a stash you can quite easily get a historic toolkit and repair a gun

[willow hawk]

You can directly compared your br class vs ap of ammo

[supple idol]

@uneven ocean also all technicians sell handgun repair kit which can easily repair any pistol

[willow hawk]

As written in ammo description

[uneven ocean]

oh okay maybe I need to learn a bit more about the repairing

[willow hawk]

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

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

[uneven ocean]

I've just been collecting 60% stuff and I have like 2 of them after 20 guns lol

[willow hawk]

And don’t forget the vodka trades at spirit in yantar

[shadow sapphire]

I would recommend learning first, but there are options in MCM if you really need to up drops.

[versed tusk]

the longer you work for it, the better it feels

[shadow sapphire]

It feels weird coming from vanilla, but very quickly you will stop caring so much about the condition of the weapon, and more about is it something you want to invest in, and will it help.

[uneven ocean]

I've never really played Vanilla either so it's all new to me xD

[supple idol]

me neither

[willow hawk]

Well, hunt for guns with a barrel above 60%

[supple idol]

GIGACHAD GAMMA only gamers

[terse hawk]

are the darkscape vehicles cosmetic only?

[supple idol]

no you can drive some

some are wrecks though

caps lock turns the engine on then its just wasd

[uneven ocean]

I think once I fight some more guys too I'll find more stuff only fought a few guys but it's just a lil underwhelming getting nothing good on an enemy that took 3 mags of a PPSH Drum mag LOL

[supple idol]

and f to get in

[terse hawk]

ohhh cool ty

[supple idol]

you will get the most progression from doing quests, gettiing goodwill, checking stashes that you have marked on your map

[terse hawk]

hmm well the car turned on but as soon as i gotin the door fell out but its good to go

[supple idol]

that will help you get repair kits and cashmoney

[uneven ocean]

I see I really gotta figure some quests out then

[supple idol]

yeah the cars are a bit janky 😛

@uneven ocean the quests at rookie village are supa easy

[uneven ocean]

Gotta go there for sure

[supple idol]

The guy outside sid's den gives tourist safari

[uneven ocean]

gonna hop on after this BF match just warming up lol

[supple idol]

and mutant hunt quest and other easy shit

also there is fast travel in the PDA as well as many NPCs that you ccan fast travel with

there is a lot to learn through playing for sure

[terse hawk]

or the ones at rostok "hey stalker help us destroy these muties that spawn right infront of an armed pkm" "yea sure" as i chill in the bar and insta complete the missions

[supple idol]

@terse hawk yeah haha those are the best quests

Duty love sending you to kill dogs on their doorstep, that is why they are most pathetic faction

[uneven ocean]

I'm surprised Duty is so close to Freedom lol and they hate each other lol

[versed tusk]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[river forge]

Whoops forgot

Thank you

[versed tusk]

all good

[west turtle]

non or my traders are selling weapons does anyone know why?

[supple idol]

Kappa

traders dont sell armour or weapons in gamma

cant sell them either

[terse hawk]

yeah if you side with either you're kinda forced to wipe out the bases, especially if you're freedom

[uneven ocean]

Oh cool I wanna Destroy the Duty base lmao

[versed tusk]

#│📚manual

[terse hawk]

you can trade other faction armor in for armor of your own faction but im not sure about guns

[supple idol]

you can kill the important NPCs permanently but duty will repopulate constantly I think

I regretted going through freedom base once and killing everyone

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[supple idol]

I dont think its worthwhile killing faction camps

traders drop fuck all

[terse hawk]

more loot get

[versed tusk]

also, you can play both sides

i am CS and do quests for duty & freedom

[terse hawk]

also cant you use disguises? if you put the system on easy

[versed tusk]

more quests, more money

[supple idol]

yep disguises can be used easily

[versed tusk]

you can too, should you be an enemy to them

[terse hawk]

btw you can disguise as a faction then kill someone and go back and there wont be any goodwill change right?

[shadow sapphire]

I believe that is incorrect. You still lose good will.

[terse hawk]

ah shucks, so i gotta cheese those "kill other factions" to not be their enemies

[shadow sapphire]

BUT if you are on a quest for a faction you can not be brought below 0 from killing them. If you are not on a quest, well then you can go to war

[terse hawk]

ohhh ic

so if you're on good standings with freedom and you get paid to kill their guys it just resets the goodwill?

[shadow sapphire]

No but you can and will loose goodwill up until 0. It doesnt take you straight to 0

each kill takes x amount

[terse hawk]

ah kk ty

[deft turtle]

so uh you can avoid emissions by like being in shelter/underground. I was near the trader in rookie village underground and I died.

was that a psi storm or?

[brisk zinc]

Any artefacts on you?

[versed tusk]

artefacts with -% psy res in particular

[deft turtle]

Maybe? the screen started to shake and there was an icon on the left side of the screen and I just died

[tidal raft]

Remove the jellyfish you may have equipped.

[deft turtle]

would that be due to radiation?

[terse hawk]

how do i back up my settings so it doesnt get overwritten every update?

[tidal raft]

No. As Falco implied, and Skom said, due to negative psi resistance.

[versed tusk]

!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

[grand willow]

Is ZCP 1.5D worth using?

[shadow sapphire]

I would not, as GAMMA uses a ZCP already, just a different version, and customized to fit GAMMA

Unless Falco is about to educate me.

[brisk zinc]

Nope, not this time

The real question is "why is it still in the mod list if we can't use it"

And the answer to that is because the mod list is still in beta

1.0 (hopefully in September) won't have all that stuff (hopefully)

[shadow sapphire]

Supposedly, the definition file is considerably smaller.

[brisk zinc]

Yeah there's lot of stuff that won't make it in the "final" mod list, can't wait for that

We can't even suggest what to enable in addition to what's already enabled because if you enable a thing, you may need to disable another
I hope this will be gone with 1.0

[north turret]

Are the FDDA animations going to be in 1.0?

i would love to see the backpack animation

[brisk zinc]

They are already all in

They're just disabled because reasons

If you don't know the reasons I have two commands for this

[north turret]

i know the reasons thanks

[brisk zinc]

Then you know why they are disabled

[north turret]

i was just asking if the problems regarding to that animations could be solved

[brisk zinc]

My guess, because I know what you're asking

Yes exactly that

My guess is that they won't be enabled again in 1.0

Again, my guess

Can they be solved? I really don't know

I just know something, I don't know how to code and how animations works

It's a mod after all, all stuff not available in vanilla

[shadow sapphire]

I think most here would like them to be solved, but its the same thing as the AK5c scope, that isnt up to gamma to fix sadly.

[north turret]

also the headlamp animation bug, that Larkin (i dont remember if it was him exactly) said that was because of my custom modlist is present in vanilla anomaly 1.5.2 and vanilla gamma

i think its just a hud fov problem

[uneven ocean]

How do I head to the Rookie Camp from the Freedom base? I keep having to go through Rostok

[shadow sapphire]

It was me, but to be fair, I said that I was unable to reproduce it, on vanilla gamma. And honestly it still hasnt happened to me, and you would be shocked at how many times I have to change FOV when doing certain things.

[north turret]

truck cemetery

then dark valley i think

[brisk zinc]

Following what Larkin said, it's a mod made by another modder, not Grok, it should be up to the modder to fix the problem, but for the modder the problem isn't about his work but from something else, for Grok the problem depends on the animations from this mod + many of them are fake animations, hence why most of them are disabled by default...
The truth is in the middle? Who knows
For now, it is what it is

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly you can do either truck to dv or ros to wild to yantar to agro etc or find a disguise to get through rostok.

[north turret]

what hud fov you have? i think maybe it has something to do with THAP since with vanilla anomaly the headlamp and clean mask animations are not that buggy like in gamma

[shadow sapphire]

My hud FOV bounces between whatever weird default exists all the way up to 100 depending on what I am working on. To be fair I do usually reset it back to default before closing game though

[north turret]

i dont know, in gamma i have the hud fov to 0.6 to be able to not see the animation, but in vanilla anomaly with 0.7 it was enough

[deft turtle]

So what does it mean where an armor part, specifically the (layered chemical/shock retardant hoses) has replacement parts itself

like i'm still a little confused about the armor pieces repair system, (not the armor repair system)

[indigo wasp]

unsure if this is the right specific channel, but, Does anyone else have a stutter, pretty consistently, whenever they shoot a gun? I've only been using semi auto weapons, but, every time here is a stutter, dunno why just wondering

no extra mods

[north turret]

i have pretty bad stutters

like freezes

the game freezes 1 or 2 seconds

randomly

[indigo wasp]

yeah me too, Its not so bad during the game itself, but whenever I fire a weapon it happens every time

but ill still get yours too

[soft niche]

ayo wtf is this???????

[indigo wasp]

MaGiC

[soft niche]

it ate 6 buck shot just fine

but its scaring me

[supple idol]

you can repair individual parts of armour before replacing it in an armour, but you dont need to, you ultimately just need to get armour to 65% then you can use heavy sewing kit to get to 100% (and then that makes all components 100%)

[supple idol]

darkness anomaly i think

i forget what it does

[north turret]

thats an anomaly

[deft turtle]

Yes, but this material has replacement materials

[north turret]

bad joke

[supple idol]

I dont know what you mean

[north turret]

thats an anomaly too

[supple idol]

all armors consist of parts that can be replaced

[north turret]

dont shoot at it

youre just wasting shots

[supple idol]

thats interesting

[deft turtle]

it's... an anomaly

[north turret]

youre trying to repair a overcoat?

[supple idol]

idk wtf that means

[deft turtle]

no..

Just I noticed that this part is much different than the others

[supple idol]

i think its a bug or unintentional

[wicked pebble]

Odd question, does anyone know how to make a one folder games package for this mod so it's portable?

[brisk zinc]

Known bug

Already reported 1000000 times

Carry on

[brisk zinc]

The instance is already portable because MO2 doesn't need to be installed

But you still need to install everything in another PC if you want to move it

[deft turtle]

🆗

Thank

[north turret]

is the G3 in Gamma?

by G3 i mean the gun, the HK G3

[pseudo hill]

how large is modpack in terms of storage?

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly is like 15-16 GB
GAMMA is about 50 GB, give or take

[north turret]

i just saw a video of radiophobia 3 and the guy is using it, so i thought maybe it is in Gamma

[pseudo hill]

Okay, thank you

[jagged kettle]

In order to repair a part do I need the part repair kit or can i just use the file?

[uneven ocean]

Is there a HD model pack for STALKERS included with G.A.M.M.A the traders and characters look so bad lol

[shadow sapphire]

Parts you do NOT need the part repair kit, but it allows you to repair parts that are as low as 10%. Anything over 50 use file or ramrod or multitool.

[shadow sapphire]

There is a texture update on them, but not on by default. I believe you can type !HDmodels into bot commands though and it will help

[jagged kettle]

Thank you!! Now to find the part repair kit LOL

[uneven ocean]

ty

[shadow sapphire]

Good news: Easy, Bad News: Sold by technicians after you give them toolkits

[brisk zinc]

#custom-textures

[frank robin]

Has anybody encountered an issue where if you loot a PDA and try to check it out, it just shows your regular PDA and the recovered one vanishes from your inventory?

[shadow sapphire]

What are you trying to repair and I can help out @jagged kettle

[shadow sapphire]

Did you equip it?

[terse hawk]

that happened to me one time but i'm pretty sure it's because you unequip it so it just goes to the bottom of your inventory

[jagged kettle]

I found a groza but the parts are low condition under %50 @shadow sapphire

[frank robin]

I tried to, but it's just missing from my inventory now.

[brisk zinc]

Okay un altro italiano che bello cazzo

Si ce l'abbiamo ma fanno cacare i modelli HD dai su

Ma che t'hanno fatto quelli vanilla rifatti bene

[shadow sapphire]

Dont equip them.

[shadow sapphire]

Right click them hit view.

[terse hawk]

oh yeah thats what i did too, and it disappeared so yea

[frank robin]

Interesting. I've never run into that problem until today. I'll keep that in mind.

[shadow sapphire]

Is there some secret Italian stalker list, or do you just know them all lol.

[uneven ocean]

If only I knew Italian though I am Italian but I have really hard time even learning English lol my Dad is Italian born in Livorno and my Mom is American

[brisk zinc]

I'm lucky, what can I say

The dude isn't italian though, now I'm sad

[shadow sapphire]

Holy crap I could not have asked that question at a better time wheeze Ive been wondering for a week and I ask the time you are wrong.

[brisk zinc]

So you speak english but not italian, well rip

Anyway, I was saying that if you want them: #custom-textures
There's a guide for it

[shadow sapphire]

Ok right click the groza what repair kit does it need (advanced or army)

[uneven ocean]

Ya I translated it LOL and I remember seeing it now and just leaving it since it says the ones included look better

Thanks for the help 🙂

[jagged kettle]

Advanced

[shadow sapphire]

Oof, bad news, even if you repair the parts you cant swap the barrel with out an expert kit and/or and advanced repair kit

[jagged kettle]

I think I got lucky with this drop

[north turret]

does D!CK changes the traders models or just the stalker ones?

[jagged kettle]

ugh lOL why couldnt he have had a different gun

[shadow sapphire]

Stick it in your stash, and keep pushing north, over time youll probably collect the parts for it, and then it will be cheaper.

[brisk zinc]

D!CK? You mean DICK

@mighty condor we have a question for you

[north turret]

yeah

[jagged kettle]

Got it. Thanks man. I'm in the swamps...Where should I ideally head after rookie village?

[brisk zinc]

North and beyond

[jagged kettle]

ok! I'll head there then

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on your play style tbh. Typically for a Loner start I max loner rep, then max CS in swamps, and then work on eco and duty at the same time. Once done with those into AW which will have you start doing red forest.

[brisk zinc]

Agroprom/Garbage/Rostok/Army Warehouse/Yantar, check these places

[uneven ocean]

oh also am I the only one that misses picking up guns from from the floor near a body lol only thing I do remember from playing Vanilla

[jagged kettle]

Thanks guys! @shadow sapphire @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

It's most probably a mod that avoid this behaviour

[shadow sapphire]

Dont worry, if they die hard enough, you still have to sometimes.

[uneven ocean]

oh so I'll just count is as a rare drop

[terse hawk]

how do i fix the mouse scroll becoming a turtle?

[terse sun]

a mouse scroll becoming a what?

[terse hawk]

sometimes scrolling in the inventory becomes insanely slow

[terse sun]

ah that

sometimes it resets on its own but most of the time, reload the save

[shadow sapphire]

What version of gamma are you on? I havent seen that since the 1.5.2 update. But basically dont alt-tab. Dont hit ESC if you need to pause or walk away hit Pause Break or save and close.

I think Falco even deleted the command because I dont see it on the list anymore

[brisk zinc]

I'm having a brainfart

I don't remember the command

[terse hawk]

hmm im on the latest version

[brisk zinc]

But your explanation is literally the command

[shadow sapphire]

the !scroll one

[terse hawk]

i only enabled a few mods in MO2

[shadow sapphire]

Maybe I am losing my mind. It happens.

[brisk zinc]

!inventory

[raw raft]

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

[shadow sapphire]

You updated today

[brisk zinc]

But scroll is a good one

[jagged kettle]

it would be awesome to see a playthrough from a vet @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

OH FFS. Hey at least I checked this time lol

[terse hawk]

yea just a few hours ago

[shadow sapphire]

Oof you dont want to watch me play anomaly, its boring tbh, a ton of inv managment and running between a and b. I almost never fast travel, and I loot and take back everything, so Its alot of me staring at boxes. But if you do want to see people who know what they are doing play, I would recommend Solarint or Hey Blondie (Blondie is not playing gamma, but he does use some of the same mods)

[shadow sapphire]

Good job. I honestly thought it was fixed as it hasnt happened to me lately.

[brisk zinc]

The scroll problem is still a problem

The changelog for 1.5.2 beg to differ

But it's still there

[shadow sapphire]

Huh havent seen anyone complain about it, and with the changelog I assumed gone. Too bad, its an annoying bug. Almost as annoying as if drag and drop doesnt work, alt tab fixes it -_-

[terse hawk]

damn i wish i knew how to fix it perma cuz i alt tab a lot

[deft turtle]

Same...

[brisk zinc]

I did, that's why I know + it happened to me as well

[terse hawk]

at least my mouse has a continous scroll wheel

[shadow sapphire]

Tell grok you need an update for faster scolling next time. Wait why does an AI even scroll.

[deft turtle]

I wish like I could slow down time progression/food/water/sleep deprivation or something while in a settlement just staring at boxes while my character does little movement.

must.. organize

[terse sun]

for these smaller updates, is it ok to just do the quick update (I updated like yesterday or a day before) or is it still recommended to scan moddb?

[shadow sapphire]

Each update will say which process. Todays was the only gamma addons way

You can find the info always in #📢announcements

[terse sun]

ah cool

[gritty minnow]

Help I can't activate this switch

Why

[shadow sapphire]

Did you change your keybind for interact/use

[gritty minnow]

Yes

It's F instead of E

Sides I was able to interact with the other 2 switches

[soft niche]

@shadow sapphire tell grok to make a role that replaced online with zoners

[shadow sapphire]

F is default. In that case, save and reload.

[shadow sapphire]

What?

[soft niche]

we all play stalker yes?

in stalker

descriptions call people in the zone zoners

which means we are all zoners

certified zoners

[shadow sapphire]

Oh for discord? I mean I dont tell grok to do anything XD. But put it in feedback, someone will respond.

[soft niche]

aight

[unborn radish]

okay, i think i'm an idiot or reading this wrong: the AMO says that fusing two artifacts from the recipe menu produces an artifact with the average condition of the used ones. i have a 100% black angel and miser's skull, and i'm attempting to use this recipe, but the output artifact only has 31% efficiency. are condition and efficiency different things?

[manic burrow]

does GAMMA have the suppressor mod that improves handling and recoil at the expense of reliability? or does it use the vanilla anomaly 20% damage reduction?

[shadow sapphire]

You are reading it right. I would have to check through updates notes, but its possible it got changed due to balance and the description did not get updated.

[shadow sapphire]

GAMMA has its own supressor changes, let me get them for you, one second

[unborn radish]

it did seem a little too good to be true

[shadow sapphire]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/958342885005221898/1013663552948686868/unknown.png

[shadow sapphire]

I am not 100% sure but I think I remember a conversation about basically since junk artis come at 100 it was way to easy to go strait to volat emerald and the like

[manic burrow]

Thanks Larkin love this community!

[shadow sapphire]

Youre welcome, and me too.

[worthy slate]

GOD DAMN

[shadow sapphire]

IMHO the supressors in game are some of the more realistic I have seen performance wise in a video game.

[manic burrow]

agreed

[worthy slate]

I did not expect them to be that good

[shadow sapphire]

Small buffs due to the speed increase and reduced recoil, but holy crap that gun will get dirty fast.

Most games nerf range/damage or accuracy which excuse me but how does that work. I slap a supressor on and suddenly Im using sub sonics?

[soft niche]

could the PBS suppressor be used on the sks?

it says 7.62 and both the ak-47 and sks use the same round

[brisk zinc]

There are 3 switches IIRC

[brisk zinc]

!difference

[raw raft]

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

[terse sun]

is it just my game or did shifting items from one inventory to another got quite stuttery with the past few updates?

I remember it being quite smooth when shift+hovering the items

[warped ginkgo]

it always was for me

at least if there's a lot of items in the inventory

[terse sun]

hmm

it was butter smooth for me until the last 2 updates

[warped ginkgo]

if your inventory is empty and you shift 1 or 2 items from a stash that only have them then yeah it's smooth

[terse sun]

it's stuttering now even if I just shift items to a companion

[terse hawk]

its smooth for me, but i only played the latest versions so far

how do you use the knife in your vision slot? do the hunting knife in my melee to get the animal extraction bonus?

actually is there aguide for the slots? i noticed someone had a gun in their knife slot

[terse sun]

I've been using a knife in a vision slot and a pistol in the knife slot and I've had no issues so far

[gritty minnow]

Any idea where I can give these items to? They're documents from story quests

[pure scarab]

so i cam to talk with doctor, and he doesnt give tasks for documents

[terse hawk]

is it from the original call of pripyat storyline? if they are i believe you sell those to traders, duty/freedom

no idea how it works in gamma though

[pure scarab]

no there's a task for them but doctor doesnt want to give it to me

[terse hawk]

oh mb i was talking to @gritty minnow

[shadow sapphire]

@gritty minnow @pure scarab I'm 98% sure there is a thing for them, but I don't know how it works exactly. Give me a few and I'll see what I can find, but you can not sell them to vendors by default.

[brisk zinc]

It's a mod enabled by default

And yes you can't sell them

It's to avoid to sell/give away documents that are needed for quests IIRC

[shadow sapphire]

Basically yall have to progress the storyline

[manic burrow]

are NPCs following you supposed to slow walk everywhere? how do I get them to jog/run?

[brisk zinc]

Run and they will run

[shadow sapphire]

For like 4 feet

[pseudo salmon]

Do IEDs not explode if you go too far away? Like if i need to bomb 100 Rads bar, set 30 sec fuse, walk to exit, then my bombs dont explode

[shadow sapphire]

Ok I'm curious as to why you need to do this, but they should go off unless you change maps. However with 100rads in particular that is a different smart terrain though I'm unsure if that matters tbh

[uneven ocean]

Finally made it to the Rookie camp with like 10 HP and no ammo lol bought some heals but had no money for ammo so I did some of the missions with my axe and got enough money for ammo

got 8k and ammo and meds now xD
