[shadow sapphire]

I think isnt there something for Mags called chamber reload?

literally: E:\Anomaly-1.5.1.2 the one that has appdata bin db gamedata and tools folders only with a few other files.

[tacit rampart]

Yeah, but not enabled.

My biggest concern is that I cannot figure out what actually reproduces this, only that all the sudden I noticed the ammo in my inventory going down again, and my magazines staying untouched.

[plush falcon]

Yo, my health is slowly going down but I have no thirst, hunger, or rads that could be killing me. I am overweight but I had to drop my bag due to an emission and I was still losing health. Any idea what it could be?

[tacit rampart]

Bleeding?

Also, I think I've created the reproduction conditions, maybe. If you open your inventory while reloading, it will cancel the reload, and also eat all of your bullets.

[shadow sapphire]

Post screenshot of hud please

[tacit rampart]

Er, to clarify, it will cancel the magazine reload, and the next time you reload, it will use the vanilla reload behavior

Except those bullets then go into the void when a magazine is loaded.

[shadow sapphire]

Oof. That could be an issue.

[plush falcon]

Yeah I think it was me bleeding. Health isn't dropping anymore and the bleeding effect was probably hardly noticeable during the emission. Thanks for that!

[tacit rampart]

I thought it was weird I burned through 100 rounds killing 3 guys, like... my trigger discipline is bad, but not that bad.

[north turret]

Hi, i had dozends of artifacts in my inventory. Is there a way to "activate" them, or are the perks activated when i have them in my inventory

[shadow sapphire]

Ill see if I can replicate, but it would take me a bit as I have to setup mags @tacit rampart

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire It is worth noting that you must have loose rounds in your inventory, otherwise magazines always function.

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmm

[tacit rampart]

Even stranger, I can't reproduce it with a pistol.

Gonna spawn in some other weapons and see if I can reproduce it with those. The RU 1911 works exactly as you'd expect 100 percent of the time, the SKS tactical is the one that breaks.

[shadow sapphire]

Does this sound right? https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/issues/227

[tacit rampart]

No, it does interrupt the load, but it does not eat the ammunition or revert to vanilla behavior.

Also, I cannot reproduce with anything but the SKS Tactical

[viral coral]

is there a way to remove the item usage from injection needle items

i get major heebie jeebies from those

[tacit rampart]

I feel like the SKS Tac is not a vanilla weapon, and the RU 1911 and MP5 are.

[shadow sapphire]

You mean like turn the animation off?

[viral coral]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

Ummm probably need to ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support I am honestly not sure on that one...

[viral coral]

i guess i'll just look away from the screen when i need fentalyn then

[shadow sapphire]

Dont forget to send xray log please

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, I wish I had an answer for you!

[viral coral]

thanks anyways

phobias are not fun

[shadow sapphire]

I feel you, I do not do certain creatures. Im not listing them because I dont trust the people here not to troll me lol

[atomic egret]

Isn't it an FDDA thing?

[tacit rampart]

Try ]

[shadow sapphire]

It is, but its a default FDDA animation.

[tacit rampart]

That disables item animations

[viral coral]

not for everything

[tacit rampart]

And I think it will disable all of them, but since-

Oh 😦

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah they dont want them all off lol

[tacit rampart]

I bet you could remove the specific animation from the script file, but uh, that's beyond my scope of helping.

[atomic egret]

It'd be up in the air if deleting the animation file would break the script or not

I have a slightly similar problem with blindsides animations, cannot fucking stand how you hold AK-100 rifles now

[shadow sapphire]

Is it just fentanyl, or also the medkits?

[shadow sapphire]

100% will break it.

[plush falcon]

I got an achievement that speeds up my mutant skinning. Does the achievement increase the skinning animation speed or what exactly?

[viral coral]

just needle stuff related to veins and such

[shadow sapphire]

So Fentanyl, medkits, what about the auto injectors like morphine?

Also glucose

[viral coral]

those happen off screen enough, medkits also seem like it's just hitting your shoulder. when the char takes his hand out and injects straight into the wrist feels super bad

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, so its really just the fentanyl

[tacit rampart]

Okay, so, good news, which... might work? [YOURINSTALLDIRECTORYHERE]\mods\40- Food Drugs and Drinks Animations FDDA - Feel_Fried\gamedata\configs\items\items\anims_list.ltx

[north turret]

Is there a way to get better prices? I should pay 7500ru for a component with 900 base worth. (and when i sell this, i get 400ru)

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah im working on a patched file for them.

[tacit rampart]

Find all references of "itemuse_anm_effects\antirad.anm" a-

[shadow sapphire]

Which merchant

[north turret]

?

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire Well, you've certainly beat me to it.

[shadow sapphire]

Helps being a modder lol. Thats why I was asking all the questions about which animations.

[viral coral]

oh my god thanks

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire Also here is the xray log, I didn't see anything remotely valuable, but I have 0 experience with STALKER stuff. The issue happens no sooner than line 21619. I am aware of the Lua errors for missing voices, I turned them off intentionally 😛

And again, the ONLY weapon I can reproduce this with is wpn_sks_tac, well, I only tried the MP5, RU Colt 1911, and SVD, but... I figure that's a Good Enough™️ sample size to think it is a weapon specific issue.

[tacit rampart]

Merchants, as a rule, buy below the value of the item, and sell above the value of it.

[timid sail]

Is artifact spawn randomly on the maps or it spawn in anomaly field like normal ?

[tacit rampart]

Generally they have absolutely wild markup of like 500 percent or more.

[shadow sapphire]

Who are you buying and selling to

[tacit rampart]

They still only spawn in/around anomalies.

[timid sail]

Okay thanks you !

[tacit rampart]

Note that your detector affects which you can find (IIRC), so you can't just use an Echo to find the good stuff.

[north turret]

try different locations. But the weapon-repair dudes has only parts for a ridiclius high prices

[timid sail]

i've got a grizzly

[shadow sapphire]

In which map?

[north turret]

So the Gamma-Mod makes actually much less fun then the original...

garbage, cordon, swamp

I put so much stuff in my stash that it lags now

fix that isnt removing the stash cause I wanna keep it?

[shadow sapphire]

Whats your progression difficulty? @north turret

[tacit rampart]

Make another stash?

You can just put them next to each other

[north turret]

does that work?

"normal", or the middle one

for real?

no way

[tacit rampart]

Make one for weapons, one for armor, etc, yeah.

[north turret]

ill do that then thanks

I did one for ARS and uhh

I went overboard hehe

[tacit rampart]

But yeah, I think that is the easiest solution 😛

[shadow sapphire]

Dont forget to use the boxes you can craft and not backpacks

some of the boxes go up to 300kg capacity

[tacit rampart]

I am assuming they have unlimited stash weight on, or just have so many bazillion items xray is struggling

[north turret]

get parts to craft ANYTHING is also pain in the a... The parts itself costs 3-10times as much, as the crafted box or tool. makes not much sense to me

[north turret]

yeah uhh

both.

[tacit rampart]

Gamma has very difficult progression (IMO) from vanilla. You can tweak stuff in the progression settings though.

[north turret]

I dont like the progression

its just "no ammo or meds fuck you"

[timid sail]

So another question is there chance that if I go to for example near Fire anomaly i got some fire artifact ? like if i want to get the same artifact for upgrading/repair it

[north turret]

I mean I get some people like it

but I want a fight

a fighting chance at least

[viral coral]

twiddle with the difficulty settings to get it up to your taste

[tacit rampart]

I'll be real, I always give myself "extra starting points" by using debug at the start, but that is just me 😛

[viral coral]

you can modify drop rates etc.

[north turret]

yeah IK

[shadow sapphire]

Im gonna post the file and tag you in it in #🖇old-mods-posting this will disable fentanyl, it also has to turn off morphine and one other injection as they are apparently the same.

[north turret]

but its still annoying as hell

[tacit rampart]

Yeah, and you can set how much stuff buys/sells for.

Er, the percentage.

[viral coral]

amazing, thank you

[tacit rampart]

I am pretty sure it lets you set it as far as 100 percent of value for both buying and selling.

[shadow sapphire]

Just testing it real quick make sure I did not break something

[timid sail]

can somebody help me with this ? x)

[tacit rampart]

I think artifacts tend to spawn based on the anomaly, yes. Gravitational anomalies spawn gravity artifacts, and so forth.

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, artifacts have higher spawn chances in anomalies that match them.

[tacit rampart]

I found artifacts to be moderately rare, but it isn't like the Zone has a shortage of anomalies.

[timid sail]

Okay thanks you very much stalker !

help are precious in the zone

[north turret]

there a ton of options in "progression diff" and "gamplay diff" but not realy clear what do what

some have a tooltip if you hover over the text
what options are you unclear on?

Ah, good, thanks

i had "minimum item condition for sale" at 0, but cant sell nearly anything under 50% or so.. :/

yes, because 0 uses each trader's own configuration
set it to 1, so you can sell anything that isn't useless beyond repair

ok, thanks 🙂

[wintry oar]

Clear Sky was/is a NATO armament faction, right?

[shadow sapphire]

Sorry its gonna be a minute as its not disabling them -_-

[nimble cargo]

After trying to update to 1.5.2, the game no longer starts up and crashes every time i click the run button on my MO2

[shadow sapphire]

!crash

Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[viral coral]

no problem, just the fact that someone is working on this makes me so happy

[nimble cargo]

There

[north turret]

yes

[north turret]

last question today : Why i cant find any trader who buy or sell weapons?

[shadow sapphire]

#│📚manual No buying or selling armor or weapons in gamma

[wintry oar]

ty, looking for high end western sniper rifle scopes, SVDS PMC uses them, unlike normal SVDS

[north turret]

@shadow sapphire : cant find any word in the manual, that is not a single trader out there who buy/sell weapons?

[nimble cargo]

Thanks Larkin

[shadow sapphire]

Repairing guns

Guns must be repaired to progress since you can't buy them from traders with GAMMA Economy. Indeed, the EU and UN decided to put a stop at the bloodshed in the Zone as well as guns smuggling from the Zone to the nearby countries by trying to limit guns traffic, and no faction want to have problems with more Private Military Companies paid by these organisms, PMCs are already crawling enough within the Zone.

Literally first post, at the top

[north turret]

Ok, i dont search "merchant" and "buy/sell" thinks in the repair-section.

But such a huge think and there are only a half of a set :X

how do you get rid of stuff you dropped on the floor?

thing

So i had about 30 weapons and there are all useless ?

[shadow sapphire]

Not if you fix them

[viral coral]

reading the entire manual is advisable

[north turret]

only a barrel for a 3000ru pistol costs over 4000ru. makes no sense to me

[shadow sapphire]

You repair the parts, not buy them

[viral coral]

you're clearly coming in this mod with no idea what it's trying to do, and complaining about the things it's trying to do

adjust your expectations, read the manual, try the crafting out and it'll sort itself out

[north turret]

hola amigos

how do you get rid of floor stuff?

[shadow sapphire]

Huh?

[viral coral]

my first playthrough of gamma was just a bunch of cheating and fiddling with the settings before i got how the game works and now i love it

[north turret]

i threw a bunch of stuff on the floor

some two hundred rifles

how do I get rid of them?

[viral coral]

there should be an option to despawn old items in settings->gameplay->general

probably works after going to another map

[shadow sapphire]

Go to different map and come back

[magic rivet]

Mortal Sin Needle in Haystack quest seem to be bugged? RF Receiver is beeping bonkers af but no decoder in sight

[north turret]

I have read the "instructions". Ok, I did not remember the first sentence. But the game mechanics are super complex, there are thousands of different parts and prices for spare parts are just unfair. When all the parts of a 3000ru gun already cost a good 30000ru and you have to add tools, a workbench (which also costs another 1000ru every 5min) and a matching kit, it just seems like a deliberate impediment to the flow of the game.

[viral coral]

the flow of the game is supposed to be a slow buildup to get good stuff

you don't need to buy things if you just know what kind of loot to bring back home

then open up the crafting and see what all kinds of things you can do or need to craft better stuff

[north turret]

find guns
take good parts from guns
put good parts in gun you want to use
do not buy parts unless desparate

All parts that i find in the zone the first 6h are trash with under 30% condition, mostly under 10%.

[viral coral]

yeah the loot in cordon sucks

the more north you go, the better stuff you start getting

but you can find all kinds of other crafting materials even from bandits

[north turret]

ps. when i create stashes with crates and not with backpacks, i cant fasttravel to them. is that intentional?

[viral coral]

and some guns have at least 1 part in 60% condition, field strip them and start hoarding stuff

[viral coral]

you can change the fast travel rules in settings

please go through all the menus there to find out what seems good for you

[north turret]

yes, those crates are for keeping lots of stuff in a large stash
so by default they get no icons because you would have a mess of several stash markers overlapping

Ok, so i try the long way... harder then Sekiro meats DS1

[shadow sapphire]

Also dont rent vices, you can literally craft from just having the tools in your inventory

[north turret]

but i read that the weapons get dirty, when i do that -> more money musst spend to "clean" this

[shadow sapphire]

You can craft the repair kits.

[north turret]

theyre still THERE

wtffffff

[shadow sapphire]

HAHA, they eventually will go away.

[north turret]

eventually meaning?

my game is like 10 fps

[pure matrix]

Is there a sub-mod or anyway to increase the charges on repair items? with all the crafting thats necessary 4 charges on a parts repair kit doesnt seem enough

[north turret]

where i could find wooden parts and metallic scrap? cant find this (also from stuff that i dismantelt)

[shadow sapphire]

Why did you throw all those guns on the ground?

[shadow sapphire]

Parts repair kits are for special cases or emergencies

[tacit rampart]

I think there is an option in the debug menu to force run cleanup on items. I think.

[viral coral]

ball peen hammers, showels etc. it's pretty common loot and you don't need that much to craft the station

[north turret]

how else would I get rid of them?

is there a trashcan or?

[north turret]

if you can find it, DM me with its position

im quitting for today

[tacit rampart]

I know it runs automatic cleanup every so often to remove corpses and the weapons and stuff they drop, but I can't say I know the exact frequency.

[shadow sapphire]

File is posted for you.

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, let me look at this log now

[plucky solstice]

hi so i updated my game to the newest ver and now i cant load into the game at all i try and start a new game and it crashes as its loading how any ideas on what i cant do

[tacit rampart]

Okay, I am likely gonna be heading to bed soon, so I will be unavailable to help with anything until I'm back which will be... whenever, but I'll check any pings or whatever.

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[tacit rampart]

You need to update to Anomaly 1.5.2 if you are still on 1.5.1

[plucky solstice]

i have

im fully updated

i dont seem to have any log

both the ones i have seem to be from last year should i send anyway

[shadow sapphire]

Ummm not if they are from last year. Which folder did you check?

[plucky solstice]

appdata/logs

[shadow sapphire]

That means you are launching a different anomaly... Do you have more than one?

[tacit rampart]

Did you check Windows app data, or Anomaly's app data?

[plucky solstice]

anomalys

i only have one gamma but let me look

i seem to only have one

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send me a screenshot of your anomaly and your gamma folder?

[plucky solstice]

sure

thats the logs

[tacit rampart]

Uh, is that second one actually a different folder?

[shadow sapphire]

You realize you have an anomaly installed in your gamma folder as well....

[plucky solstice]

yeah i do

[shadow sapphire]

It is, but they also have anomaly installed in the gamma folder

[shadow sapphire]

You cant do that

[shadow sapphire]

#old-how-to

[plucky solstice]

it hasnt been a problem before tho

[shadow sapphire]

Well your luck finally ran out, sadly

[tacit rampart]

The fact it has worked up until now is nothing short of a miracle.

[shadow sapphire]

Also it cant be in your documents either

[tacit rampart]

Mod Organizers whole thing is that it doesn't modify the base game, it uses some clever redirecting to make the game thing it is modified without changing anything.

[plucky solstice]

how the hell was i getting it to work

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly fucking magic.

[plucky solstice]

well whats the fastest way to fix this

[tacit rampart]

I can only assume you somehow managed to overwrite things in the perfect order for stuff to work. You should probably do a fresh install.

Like, in theory, you might be able to untangle it, but... that would take forever.

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, delete that whole folder and start again using the seperate anomaly folder and re-extract gamma. You can save the downloads folder and put that in the new gamma folder.

[plucky solstice]

should i use the other anomaly i have tho id have to update that one

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you can, or if you want use a new one.

[plucky solstice]

my downloads are shit so im trying to not download things more

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah if you still have the folders for gamma and anomaly you can use 7zip to re-extract, and like I said keep the gamma downloads folder. BUT you can not put them in documents. Follow #old-how-to and you will be set.

[plucky solstice]

so rezip the dwonloads

add to archive?

[shadow sapphire]

nah dont rezip just copy paste it after you unzip gamma

[plucky solstice]

oh ok

[shadow sapphire]

So the only interesting thing I found in the log was the fact that you get a lua scrip error related to actor sounds anytime you are messing with 7.62x39 Could be hella coincidence, but kinda sus

[tacit rampart]

I did disable the actor sounds, but was that only with the 7.62x39? I thought the message was for hunger.

[plucky solstice]

where do i put the folders if not doc

[shadow sapphire]

It was hunger and stuff, but literally every single time 7.62x39 shows in the log so does an actor voice error.

Im not saying they are related, but its hella suspicious lol

[tacit rampart]

The weird thing is... I don't think I spawned a mag_ak_7

[shadow sapphire]

Follow #old-how-to it tells you the places to put it. We always recommend just at the root of your C:/ drive

[tacit rampart]

That was when I was spawning SVD mags

[shadow sapphire]

Nah the 7.62x54 didnt have it lol

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire I will re-enable voice and if that somehow fixes it, I will lose all faith I ever had in understanding how computers work.

[pure crescent]

how rare is it for a psi storm to happen right after emission

[tacit rampart]

Pretty common

[shadow sapphire]

Bruh if that fixes it, will almost be as crazy as how I fixed the pdas.

[tacit rampart]

It would not be the first time I've lost all faith I had in understanding how computers worked. How'd you fix PDAs?

[shadow sapphire]

Legit, moved up the which slot parameter. All the sudden works fine.

[plucky solstice]

im really not good at following glides like that youll got a vid

[shadow sapphire]

like up from the bottom to the top of the codeblock

[shadow sapphire]

I think there is one, you can check in that channel or #╭📖faq

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire I once fixed a bug like that in... something. I can't remember what now, but in a fit of rage I just moved the code around and It Just Worked™️

[shadow sapphire]

Haha coding is super weird sometimes. Back in college we had a saying just add a random 0 its shocking how many times it would fix shit.

[tacit rampart]

@shadow sapphire I just noticed something REALLY important, I can stream it or try to describe it.

It's ONLY with the SKS Tactical

[shadow sapphire]

oh?

[tacit rampart]

But when you reload a magazine, for about... 250ms or so before the magazine loads, it will load old ammo

I have 2 rounds of HP

[shadow sapphire]

Thats fucking weird.

[tacit rampart]

And so for a QUARTER of a second when reloading it goes

0... 2... 20

[hollow moon]

hey guys

wheres the quest too check all the laboratories????? as of now after talking too

[tacit rampart]

So, for whatever reason, it looks like for the SKS Tactical, it is desynced from the magazine loading somehow.

[hollow moon]

sid i have the quest too find lukash, and also go talk too barkeep after i found streloks base

so is that quest not apart of gamma?

[tacit rampart]

RIGHT here

https://i.imgur.com/4OqPJEa.jpeg

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmm honestly now im more wondering if the error is causing a slight delay, or did you turn it back on

[shadow sapphire]

thats odd.

[tacit rampart]

Right as he pulls the bolt back

Then it goes back to 20 and shows a magazine loaded

[hollow moon]

i remember it being in EFP once i talked too sid i got a bunch of markers all over the map to search all the labs

[shadow sapphire]

honestly, I forgot about it. Is it the mystery of the zone maybe?

[hollow moon]

uh it may be im not sure i cant fully remember

[slow canyon]

what is this bright wetness and how do I lessen its impact

[hollow moon]

i just know normally i would have a bunch of labs too check out as well as talk to barkeep etc etc

[tacit rampart]

Ok, so, reliable reproduction is to interrupt the reload right after the magazine is in, but before the bolt is pulled back.

[pure matrix]

how do i enable seeing patrols with debug on
i completely forgot

[tacit rampart]

Which will result in bullets being loaded without a magazine.

[plucky solstice]

ive got gamma where it should be so how do i make it so i dont need to reinstall all myt mods

[stable stag]

Mystery of the Zone was turned off by default a while ago. You can still turn it on through MO2

[hollow moon]

wow

didnt know that

so would that mean i need too start a new game if i do? also

[stable stag]

You no longer go into the Warlabs iirc

[hollow moon]

but i want too

:((((

[tacit rampart]

As I suspect my sanity would be consumed if I tried to understand how Mags Redux worked, I can only assume that it does some trickery with reloading, and that trickery is mistimed on the SKS Tactical, but again, just that one (so far as I can tell)

[hollow moon]

does it cause issues????

[shadow sapphire]

!shader

[raw raft]

To clean your "Shader 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.

[hollow moon]

turning it?

[stable stag]

There's no issue with it really. Dunno about turning it on mid playthrough though

[slow canyon]

damn shader cache again

[shadow sapphire]

I would file an issue on their git honestly. If I can reproduce Ill let grok know as well.

[hollow moon]

damn man

[shadow sapphire]

Hopefully, because if its adjusting settings, I am literally no help to you, I know nothing about them lol

[slow canyon]

lets give it a go

well shit that was it

[north turret]

trying to retrieve the jellyfish anomaly near rookie village and i'm getting a ridiculous amount of rads compared to vanilla ?

[shadow sapphire]

Welcome to gamma, radiation is worse, its in random spots, and it changes with emissions.

[shadow sapphire]

What gear do you have?

[tacit rampart]

So, full reproduction steps:

1. wpn_sks_tac and mag_sks_whatevercaliberitisthatican't remember
2. Loose sks rounds in inventory, as well as magazines in the loadout
3. Load sks with magazine by clicking and dragging on it normally
4. Press reload, press inventory key during reload (maybe only RIGHT before the bolt is pulled back?)
   4.1 (Maybe reload a second time? It should do a separate animation from the normal one for whatever reason)
5. Weapon should now have ammo, but no magazine in it
6. (Optional) Shoot people with the rounds you've just crammed into the gun

[north turret]

just doing the mission with the guide so nothing

[tacit rampart]

A good gas mask is REALLY REALLY important in Gamma

[shadow sapphire]

You took no helmet at all?

[tacit rampart]

And having no gas mask means basically any radiation area is gonna hurt.

[north turret]

no should i go back and buy one

[shadow sapphire]

You cant buy one

[north turret]

oh

[terse sun]

yeah rads will screw you up big time if you have no rad protection

[nimble cargo]

Make sure to take all of the water with you if you dont have a good Mask

[tacit rampart]

If you do not care about cheating, the debug menu will just let you spawn one if you want, although everyone has a different stance on how they play the game.

[shadow sapphire]

Option A - restart, take a respirator, option b - hope like hell you can avoid it, chug vodka and smoke like a chimney until you kill someone with a good mask, get some basic tools, and get it fixed up.

[tacit rampart]

Even the really cheap masks are Good Enough™️

[north turret]

yea will restart

[tacit rampart]

Well, Good Enough™️ for the south of the zone.

[shadow sapphire]

Saved thanks

[hollow moon]

i cant find the mod too turn on mysteries of the zone??!

[shadow sapphire]

Additional storylines seperator

[terse sun]

anything that is sub 40% rad protection (masks) will suck anywhere between red forest and up

[tacit rampart]

This is as accurate as I can get, there are still some oddities, but it all seems to be tied around the reload being interrupted.

[hollow moon]

im about too turn it on mid playthrough

[shadow sapphire]

Or search Myst in mo2

[hollow moon]

i havent done anything crazy yet so it should work right?????

[shadow sapphire]

shrugs Guess youll let us know.

[hollow moon]

well shalst see

[tacit rampart]

I gotta say though, Anomaly is such a far cry from normal x-ray when it comes to... well, any of this.

[hollow moon]

turned it on, fast traveled to him, this is what i got speaking too doctor i know hes the one who gives the quest

[stable stag]

[hollow moon]

dont laugh at me @shadow sapphire

that hurted

[terse sun]

but all your character wants is peace man... that's a noble thing

[hollow moon]

what do i do guys lmfao i wanna see the labs man those quest are fun!

[hollow moon]

it seems i cant achieve it

no but uh seriously

lol what do i do? am i just stuck out of the questline?

?

[trim mauve]

alright, I need help finding this stash. it's in the palace of culture area, but as far as I can tell it's literally nowhere. the top layer, it's not there and no roof above. not in basement, and don't see any other floor between this and main area, which also doesn't have it

it says it's roughly where the Monolith technician is.

[sturdy stone]

Just debug spawn in the documents and they hotel key and the quest will start

They’re called like… Doctors Notes

[hollow moon]

youve tried such things, yes?

[sturdy stone]

Yes I don’t like to kill doctor and take them as he is just a peaceful old man and it hurts my weak conscience

Alternatively you can just kill him and take

[jagged kettle]

I was wondering if someone could help me with OBS and streaming Gamma

Seems like anything run through MO I can't capture. Is this a known thing?

[shadow sapphire]

Change from game capture to window capture

[jagged kettle]

Rip...I should have realized. I am so stupid

Thank you, Larkin

[trim mauve]

I'm convinced this stash doesn't exist.

[shadow sapphire]

Which stash?

[trim mauve]

this one

see minimap, my icon is sovering it on main

[shadow sapphire]

Oof Let me take a look

[trim mauve]

only 2 layers it could be at, and it ain't nowhere.

[pseudo salmon]

Anyone have tips for killing blood/psysuckers without getting hit?

[buoyant stump]

is the new update from #📢development live?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly I am not familiar with that one, and a quick google didnt find anything. Hipefully someone else knows.

[shadow sapphire]

Not yet, but the weapon anim fix I posted down in #🖇old-mods-posting

[trim mauve]

there a noclip command? i'm gonna have to do it just to find it lol

[shadow sapphire]

.45

[buoyant stump]

i try to prefire bloodsuckers when i hear them, since the camo goes off when they get hit

[buoyant stump]

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

If you have debug enabled there is

[shadow sapphire]

Sorry that I borked them for a few hours!

[pseudo salmon]

ok let me try pre-firing.

[buoyant stump]

all good man, this might sound dumb but how do i install it?

[shadow sapphire]

Not dumb at all: Paste here: GAMMA RC3\mods\41- LowerSprintAnimaiton - Skieppy\gamedata\scripts

Say yes to overwrite

[buoyant stump]

you're the man 👍

[trim mauve]

not seeing it in f7, know what it is by chance
googled it. will test

[pure matrix]

is there a scalar somewhere for vision wobble effects from getting hit, and taking meds?

[hollow moon]

so do i spawn both or just one?

theres the key under the PDA on the right if i spawn the key wont that give me the quest for the labs too find the doctors notes and also check the hotel?????????

[jaunty verge]

this is normal?

[trim mauve]

It doesn't exist, honestly I'm wondering if it is trying to use the trader's stash as a spot. I know butcher has a stash that the game uses as his store's inventory. probably something similar, since this is right where the technician was

[quiet rock]

guys, currently i have an Monolith Skat-9 armor and i want to exchange it's Loner counterpart. Thing is Skat-9 is heavy (or at least uses heavy repair kits) and there's no option to trade Heavy non-exosuit armors

[trim mauve]

and of course the other stash I have is also unobtainable, love to see it

[stable stag]

You've tried right clicking on the stash and fast traveling to it in debug mode?

[trim mauve]

nope, didn't know that was a thing

also partially covered by monolith base fast travel

how do you fast travel to it with debug

[stable stag]

Right click on the stash icon on your map with debug enabled

[trim mauve]

no options pop up

I can do the beds and such, but clicking it does nothing

I can tp to one other one, but not the 2 inside the palace of culture.

[hollow moon]

so

i spawned in both items like i was told

[brisk zinc]

Debug mode must be enabled

In game, press Numpad 0 and fly around
When you want to "land", press Enter

[hollow moon]

and no indication for the mysteries of the zone quest came up i have the docs notes and the hotel key....

[stable stag]

Ahh, that is weird man. I've never seen one I couldn't fast travel to in debug, maybe it is bugged.
The only stash I've opened in Palace is in the basement. A box a few steps from Technician

[trim mauve]

yeah I saw that one, it was different from that one though. it's either bugged or trying to use the technician's shop stash

I got the other one that was unobtainable by normal gameplay, but that's just unlucky.

that stash could have expert tools, for all i know

[stable stag]

Or complete junk

[hollow moon]

anyone..

[trim mauve]

tried reloading save? like quick f5-f9

[hollow moon]

me?

[trim mauve]

yeah

[hollow moon]

so now that i have the items save the game then reload the save?

[trim mauve]

I've not done it so I'm just suggesting anything

worth a shot

[hollow moon]

yeah i agree

[median gazelle]

is the SV98 a good upgrade from a mosin ?

[trim mauve]

bigger mag and more zoom? pretty much it, honestly

[terse sun]

for those more familiar with gamma pistols, how does russian colt .45 do? worth repairing?

[terse sun]

not really, but if you're after a better scope then yeah

[median gazelle]

ok thanks

[buoyant stump]

its a 45 so automatically not a bad gun

[stable stag]

It's a .45 pistol. It's good at killing mutants

[terse sun]

never tried mutant dealing with a pistol so that's my next thing to do lol

[buoyant stump]

9mm is also viable, and you'll likely find a higher capacity gun early on but those 45 hydrashock rounds hit hard

[trim mauve]

Hydrashock will deal with most mutants quickly.

[hollow moon]

it didnt work

[trim mauve]

pseudos only require like 50, chimeras on the other hand... good luck

[terse sun]

50 what... bullets?

[terse sun]

yeah though I've been playing with 9mm so much through my previous playthroughs and modpacks, I wanna try something new 🙂

[quaint shadow]

Does deconstructing ammo give you all the required parts to remake it later?

[shadow sapphire]

You know, I am not sure.

[graceful iron]

it gives ammo parts, but the amount is randomized and its never enough to craft the same amount of ammo

only disassemble ammo that you dont need

[north turret]

rf receiver looked at keybinds still cant figure out how to change freq?

[graceful iron]

have only the RF receiver equipped and use left/right click +shift #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[north turret]

ah i had knife out cheers

[minor star]

Hey @shadow sapphire , sorry to bother but in case I get that bug with randomly disappearing items what's best?
A) A vid of the item disappearing and then a screenshot of the logs right after
B) A vid of the item disappearing with the command console open so we can see logs in real time

[shadow sapphire]

Either or, or send full log. Im very curious about this one

[quiet rock]

guys, i found a Monolith Skat-9 armor and i want to exchange it for it's Loner counterpart. Thing is, Skat-9 is heavy armor (or at least uses heavy repair kits) and there's no option to trade Heavy non-exosuit armors. Should i drop it? Or maybe check with Duty, Freedom or Ecos maybe they have the option to trade Heavy armors

[buoyant stump]

with the mags mod, if you put a bigger mag in a gun does it change the in game animation to reflect the different magazine?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, no idea. But I somehow doubt it

[minor star]

I was gonna send a full log regardless, I just wanted to know if it was worth the time to keep the command console open

[shadow sapphire]

mmmm maybe, depends on what you debug spam looks like lol

[minor star]

Alright I'll keep it open when I come across the bug then

Not gonna play much this week since I'm busy with uni, but I'll try my best

[steady cave]

Hello, yesterday I was having crashes when psi storms arrived, after following instructions I updated the modpack and now it crashes even when trying to load any save, doesnt matter if I make a new one or I use the old one.

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[shadow sapphire]

and !modlist

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[steady cave]

Got it!

on my way

[shadow sapphire]

!52

!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

[shadow sapphire]

You need to update to 1.5.2

[steady cave]

I have it updated

dont i?

or did the installer removed it?

[shadow sapphire]

I couldnt tell you, other than the isntaller doesnt remove it. what steps did you follow because this is in your crash: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly version 1.5.1
using marshal library

[steady cave]

Huh, I did what you told me last time, full gamma install again because I was missing files from a mod

but its okay I have the update at hand

[shadow sapphire]

weird Yeah just follow the 1.5.2 process, as you know the installer isnt going to actually download anything since it just did lol

[steady cave]

yep, I'll report if it works or not

[viscid zephyr]

Trying to add goodwill for merc after the problem I had and it seems that the command doesn't work

[buoyant stump]

where is the sin base in the red forest?

[brisk zinc]

I think inside a mine

[buoyant stump]

is there a train track leading to it?

[shadow sapphire]

North west corner. Found it by accidentally starting a firefight ontop of it. You know where the wall is at the north edge of the forest? Follow towards lemansk bridge

Youll basically walk into it

[buoyant stump]

sounds good

[graceful iron]

using the command in the #╭📖faq post? make sure you are typing the command correctly, and you can also use the linked addon to change them using the mcm

the command should be something like this: relation_registry.set_community_goodwill( "Killer", AC_ID, 2000 ) you can change the number to what you are trying to change the goodwill to

[viscid zephyr]

But then the game wont be vanilla?

[viscid zephyr]

Gimme 10 minutes and I'll give it a shot

[buoyant stump]

sr2 upgraded showing... the unupgraded gun as a repair material?

[dusky kite]

ive been hanging out in the duty area not knowing where to go. i'm not sure how i can get the artefacts in the Garbage, theyre covered in radiation, can someone help me out? i also have the first quest to meet strelok but im having trouble findning the entrance /noob

[graceful iron]

its fine, you can still repair the weapon without issue

[buoyant stump]

alright good to know

[viscid zephyr]

This pops up

[graceful iron]

it could be an extra space somewhere that shouldnt be there

[viscid zephyr]

[viscid zephyr]

In here right?

[graceful iron]

yes

[viscid zephyr]

Doesn't work still

I checked all the spaces

[graceful iron]

ok... apparently running the command crashed my game

i think i might have missed something ...

[viscid zephyr]

[knotty storm]

Anyone knows where the stash is located ? I searched everywhere 😦

[graceful iron]

i got it to work

relation_registry.set_community_goodwill( "killer", AC_ID, 2000 ) here, the correct command

make sure to copy paste it

[shadow sapphire]

Ummmm is there a stash under the quest Icon?

[viscid zephyr]

Was it the capital K

[graceful iron]

i am not sure what it was, it just works

[shadow sapphire]

good to know xray never attempted to fix that issue XD

[knotty storm]

The missions says they are drugs to retrive, supposedly a stash

[minor star]

Turn on your minimap, and look around for it

If you get a tiny arrow pointing up over it on your minimap, it means the stash is above, arrow pointing down means the stash is below you

[viscid zephyr]

It does work! Thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Ohhhh I should have read better. Im sure falco will make fun of me shortly for that. I havent had that particular one, but they are in annoying spots, however typically there is a legit stash

[minor star]

If it's a circle, look around for any objects that could be stashes

[knotty storm]

Gonna keep searching, been 10 mins but eh, that's stalker for ya lol

[minor star]

Have you tried that safe box?

And also, use the minimap tip I gave you

[knotty storm]

Yeah, the moment I closed discord I found the stash lmao.

can't see it from ground level

[minor star]

Good you found it tho

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm that's odd, i'm Supply level 2 with bandits but they aren't selling 5.45x39 ammo

[knotty storm]

Did your trader refresh ?

[gritty minnow]

They all refresh after midnight right?

[graceful iron]

they start selling it at trader level 3, 1000 goodwill

they restock in the morning

[gritty minnow]

Ohhh gotcha, thank you @graceful iron !

[knotty storm]

Another question

I press the button to teleport my companions but they don't ?

[graceful iron]

the addon needs to be enabled first

its disabled by default

also, it has a limited range (about 200 meters) and they need to be within your area

[knotty storm]

Aaah ok

Thanks !

[hollow moon]

i started a new game

and still no mysteries from the zone questline, i just talked too Dr in the cave and all that was prompted was find streloks hideout

......

i turned it on in MO2

[shadow sapphire]

Kill him and take the documents. Not sure man, it's disabled for a reason I would assume

[minor star]

It was buggy from what I remember

[hollow moon]

damn so what if i kill him and still take the docs?

also i never had issues with it before but if its disabled then yeah i see why i guess that sucks

if i kill him doesnt it mess up the main questline?

[shadow sapphire]

Save and find out?

I honestly don't think so though

[hollow moon]

Mmmm good thinking

ok well fuck it hes a dead man

[young widget]

The game looks too bright when in fullscreen mode?

[crude oyster]

how do i stop random freedomers from being hostile at me for no reason? early in my playthrough i killed leshiy cause he stole my damn loot and ever since then random ones have started attacking me even though i've done my best to stay neutral afterwards, even did some jobs in yanov to try and save some rep with them. only in army warehouses they seem to get mad, anywhere else i have no issue. guess this is just a smart terrain thing?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to barkeep or sid and pay them off

[crude oyster]

i couldn't get the option to, it seems any of the guys that were there when i killed him several days ago still held grudges, including lukash and screw lol. i managed to reset their relation in debug so its all good now.

[dark umbra]

a solid artifact? basic tool kit?

[graceful iron]

some of the text hasnt been changed to match the reward

[crude oyster]

i've still get "here's a nice gun" from stalkers when i turn in quests and they give me artifacts and sewing kits

[shadow sapphire]

Pretty solid gamma artifact if you ask me.

[winged ether]

is it possible to turn off the voice lines when the player reloads and shouts out loud?

[crude oyster]

i believe its either in the main settings for sound or the MCM menu, there should be a tab for player callouts where you can turn it on or off

[shadow sapphire]

!voice

[raw raft]

Disable 15- Voiced Actor - DesmanMetzger and G.A.M.M.A. Voiced Actor in MO2.
You can disable them safely even in the middle of your playthrough.

[gusty lintel]

Whats your guys personal favorite home-base/outpost locations if you dont mind sharing?

[short thicket]

The starting rookie quest where you have to go into the area and grab the anomaly isn't starting, the companion wont give me the vodka. I walked onto the spot i saw in a video . Any ideas ?

[shadow sapphire]

Where is fanatic?

[brisk zinc]

This is for english voices

[shadow sapphire]

That makes no sense. The command makes sense. Why is it called voiced actor. If it's the npcs.

[winged ether]

ty!

[manic ferry]

Hey guys, i finished all the steps for installing GAMMA, but whenever i start a new game, it crashes

I used to have a few VFX mods installed, which i disabled with JSGME, but it just keeps crashing

[shadow sapphire]

Well first gamma needs to be installed on a clean anomaly. Second send crash log and I'll see if it's a quick easy fix, but I highly recommend doing a fresh anomaly

If you need help finding the log go to #🤖bot-commands and type !crash

[manic ferry]

Oh ok i will try in a new one in that case

[shadow sapphire]

Make sure to follow #old-how-to to a T

[manic ferry]

How could i delete it from this one? i read something about deleting the mods foulder, but i have it empty currently

[shadow sapphire]

Gamma won't re-download anything that is up to date. Honestly just delete anomaly rextract same spot. Patch to 1.5.2 and then run gamma installer process again but it will only take a few minutes to check all the mods.

[sacred timber]

hey, iv been playing through gamma and I have crazy stutters when near campfires. I disabled core 0, have the stutter mod enabled, and have fucked with my graphics settings. Any ideas or fixes? (im on 3440x1440)

[shadow sapphire]

!stutter

[raw raft]

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open the installer with admin rights, click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data and then Full G.A.M.M.A. installation)
2. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands)
3. Turn on the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod in your MO2 (you can found the mod under the G.A.M.M.A. Fixes separator)
4. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering in NVIDIA control panel
5. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds

Still a WIP because I need to add something else

[shadow sapphire]

Did you try all of that?

[sacred timber]

i did tripple buffering and prefetch as well

did all that already

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[sacred timber]

609

[shadow sapphire]

Active mod count?

[sacred timber]

331

i use mag redux and did the fix for 3440x1440 scopes

[shadow sapphire]

Graphics card and ram?

[sacred timber]

2080super, 32 gigs Gskill ddr4

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting we are nearly identical and I don't have virtually any stutter after triple buffering and 1.5.2

[sacred timber]

ya it runs greak and then i get near a campfire and it feels like 5-10fps

could it be my g-sink, i dont use vsink

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah that was me pre triple buffering. Now what I will say is res is a big issue tbh. If I run at my full 32:9 I'm getting shit frames. I normally play in a 16:9 1440p window

[sacred timber]

ok, il try fucking with g-sync and if that doesnt work il change res

[shadow sapphire]

I do use gsync and have no issues tbh

[sacred timber]

ya didnt doa anything, it was a shot in the dark

16:9 helped but not alot, also its stretching to fit

could using agressor reshade instead of enhanced shaders help?

[shadow sapphire]

I don't stretch to fit. Literal window and it just sits in the center of my monitor

Honestly not sure you could ask in #╟🎑reshades

[sacred timber]

not borderless just straight window mode?

thanks for the help homi

[shadow sapphire]

Yup straight window. Have to restart it to get it to not be too big. It's not the best but it works well

[digital turret]

How do I remove the save feature on campfires?

[shadow sapphire]

Escape settings mcm menu yacs uncheck the box

[valid axle]

Hi! I can't attach a scope to the SKS. I don't know wich scope is compatible with it or why it doesn't attachs. I'm trying with: PSO-1M (with and without eyecup) and PSO-1M2-1 scope

[shadow sapphire]

Mouse over the gun and it will tell you what guns, it will also highlight compatible scopes

[graceful iron]

which sks is it? the wooden stock with 10 rounds?

[digital turret]

Thanks!

[graceful iron]

you can also right click > details to see what scopes the weapon takes

[valid axle]

yup that one

[graceful iron]

it only takes a PU scope

[valid axle]

oh, okey, clearly none of them is compatible. Thanks!

[graceful iron]

you can drag the scope onto the gun

[valid axle]

ah, like in the trilogy. Thanks, i thougt it was different

[graceful iron]

there are different variants of the sks. molot and tactical will take more scopes and even allow a suppressor

[shadow sapphire]

Or 2 sights on the tactical!

[craggy raven]

anyone get the npc armor mod to work? its in the modlist/activated with the crash fix but isnt working. (DNPCAV)

[digital turret]

how i delete this?

[shadow sapphire]

What is that?

[waxen bay]

where can i buy stolichnaya vodka

[shadow sapphire]

White vodka yes? Or is stoli the red?

[waxen bay]

idk i never seen stolichnaya vodka

im tryna finish a task

[craggy raven]

N vodka is red S vodka is white

so any barman usually

[shadow sapphire]

I was gonna say the brand irl is clear bottlenlol

[waxen bay]

cant find any at barkeep

[quaint wave]

is there a way for me to revert back to the old acog textures?
i don't mind the red chevron, i just hate the bland black circle design, the old one felt a lot more immersive and, more importantly, more accurate to the actual optic itself

[quaint wave]

barkeep

[craggy raven]

what about sidrovich? or the librarian in the swamp

[waxen bay]

gonna head there see if there are any

[quaint wave]

it's the vodka in the uhm
flask
with black cloth on it

[shadow sapphire]

No

Seriously?

[quaint wave]

ye

[shadow sapphire]

Hahahahahaha good luck to 91 then.

[craggy raven]

oh yeah. P vodka is white

[quaint wave]

i run trader overhaul so it's not difficult to get for me :D

[quaint wave]

still wondering on this tho

[digital turret]

when an enemy sees me that starts to come out, gamma is installed cleanly

[shadow sapphire]

Oof. Not worth the trade

[craggy raven]

did anyone by chance get the NPC visual mod to work recently?

[shadow sapphire]

Well that's not gamma. So I'm guessing you added chatty companions? Or some other mod?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly unsure. I don't think so because you would have to change things in multiple mods

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge no. I believe grok flagged the dev though

[digital turret]

I didn't installed another mod

[quaint wave]

okay.
i will now proceed to cry over this for the next 6 millennia

[craggy raven]

damn bought the CS c-4 armor and its sitting there lol

the cs-4b suit

[shadow sapphire]

Oof

[shadow sapphire]

Ok send log please

[lime ibex]

I haven't updated the game in months now
How do i update? Install 1.5.2 --> update gamma data --> full gamma installation?

[quaint wave]

stick to 1.5.1

but yes

[shadow sapphire]

!152

[raw raft]

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

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

[quaint wave]

WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT?

[shadow sapphire]

I'm sorry. What?

[quaint wave]

i'm still running on 1.5.1 l o l

then again i am running 384 mods so
shrug

prolly cause of that

[shadow sapphire]

My guy we haven't been on 1.5.1 in weeks. And you are literally the only person I know of who hasn't crashed

[quaint wave]

bruh i updated like 2 days ago

not even

like

maybe 12 or so hours ago

[lime ibex]

Wait Larkin, am i correct?

[shadow sapphire]

#📢announcements message

[quaint wave]

bruh

[shadow sapphire]

You are right. Follow the guide I posted. If you need to see it again, go to #🤖bot-commands and type !152

[quaint wave]

i mean i'm not updating yet cause half the shit i've installed doesn't work on 1.5.2

[shadow sapphire]

Also out of sheer curiosity

[lime ibex]

Oh ok

[quaint wave]

or don't go to bot commands and just look at the message here lel

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[lime ibex]

First gotta finish my invictus (or probably die in the process)

[quaint wave]

tried to do this, accidentally crashed file explorer

[shadow sapphire]

I'm sorry what?

[quaint wave]

610

[quaint wave]

i don't fucking know lol

my file explorer crashed opening the folder

[quaint wave]

this is what the file contain tho

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah its the version

Of the modpack

[quaint wave]

ye i kinda
gathered that

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting. Well good luck with whatever magical system you have going lol. Also why are you in gamma-vanilla channels with 384 mods o.0?

[quaint wave]

cause i was asking about something relating to something in gamma vanilla; the acog UI

completely untouched by my mods

[shadow sapphire]

Doesn't matter. #🔨modded-gamma-support we do not handle modified lists in vanilla channels

[quaint wave]

bruh

wasn't even asking about the mods ;-;

just vanilla gamma ui

[shadow sapphire]

You don't even have the right anomaly version.

[quaint wave]

I DON'T KNOW, MAN

i just

magic, apparently

[shadow sapphire]

I get that, but you are a modified list man, like way beyond even adding a couple mods because whatever. You are literally running 65 extra mods, on the wrong version of anomaly. Tbh even if I said do x thing it would probably fuck it up more than fix it lol

[quaint wave]

fair enough

but to be fair idek how a texture change would cause problems :D

slowly looks over to GTR

[shadow sapphire]

To be fair I don't know how it's even working. Like seriously. Are you sure you're not on 1.5.2

[quaint wave]

anyway i'll go bed now, and by that i mean play stalker for the next 4 hours

[quaint wave]

100% sure

is there a way to check aomakyt cversion?

anomaly*

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah do you have log spam remover disabled?

[quaint wave]

i have no idea

nope

[shadow sapphire]

Jesus. Send me a photo of your anomaly folder lol

[shadow sapphire]

I'm 85% sure 1.5.1

[quaint wave]

i'm 100% sure

i spent 20 mins trying to figure out a 1.5.1 install since all i could find was 1.5.2

[shadow sapphire]

Well regardless have fun in stalker and stick with #🔨modded-gamma-support in the future

[quaint wave]

cause all i know is 1.5.1 = many mods
1.5.2 = not many mod

[quaint wave]

oke

o7

out of curiosity actually, what does this actually fix

[lyric steeple]

do the crafted backpacks have any downsides? (slowdown, ect?)

[shadow sapphire]

No idea

[shadow sapphire]

Nope

[quaint wave]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[quaint wave]

actually no bc i tried a mod that was 1.5.2 only (but it was cool enough to at least try see if it worked) and it didn’t work at all

[willow hawk]

compatibility issues

[quaint wave]

ah, neat

i am the magical femboy

[willow hawk]

anyways, loadscreens should say STALKER GAMMA RC3

[quaint wave]

i have different UI

for loading

[north turret]

Hello stalkers, so i mapped my lower weapon key to LeftAlt Key, and everytime i press it the fps drops if i keep pressing it the fps will go from 70 to 40, its so weird, any idea what other function is mapped to the leftalt key?

[shadow sapphire]

He also has a totally custom list and 384 mods running

[willow hawk]

could be some disassembly stuff, stats check etc

stats check are LCtrl

[shadow sapphire]

Check mcm keybind just in case but I believe reserved for disassemble typically

[north turret]

hmm, i disabled all disassembly mods and no luck

i checked mcm there is no function with the key LeftAlt

[shadow sapphire]

o.0 you disabled what?

[quaint wave]

i basically just slammed efp and gamma together
with zero modding knowledge
and then cranked the difficulty up to the max so that even basic progression is nigh impossible
i’m still barely getting beyond 30k and i have been in the zone 12 days on this save ;-;

[north turret]

you know for testing

no luck

[carmine wyvern]

Did Gamma change the way Dynamic Relations works ?

I clearly remember in Anomaly when playing w/ Dynamic Relations, I could trigger a seize fire with Ecologists after killing enough Loners etc.

is that still a thing, cuz ive been at war with Loners/CS/Duty for ages and nothing happened since

[shadow sapphire]

How many active mods do you have?

[north turret]

306

[shadow sapphire]

[shadow sapphire]

Please click the link I sent it will take you to instructions on how to get the list

[north turret]

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[north turret]

339

[shadow sapphire]

I'm sorry. Version 339? You're sure that's what it says.

[north turret]

i opend the file and it says 339

[shadow sapphire]

When was the last time you updated gamma?

[north turret]

3 months or so

im not the type update and have it reset everything i modefied

[shadow sapphire]

Ok. Well you are literally 272 versions out dated

[north turret]

what difference does it make really?

small tweaks here and there

[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

[shadow sapphire]

A whole heck of alot. Like literally an entire anomaly version worth of difference.

[north turret]

like new experince big?

[willow hawk]

better perfs, new features, better balance

like base building, new guns, new animations, etc

[north turret]

hmm pretty good

[willow hawk]

better stats on guns, better actor defense system

[north turret]

grok i wanted to ask you somehting

[willow hawk]

you missed a lot

[north turret]

i have this problem with "Audio Lag", as in when i launch GAMMA for the first time its like every new sound causes a lag, its like this everytime i launch it fresh.

and no Pre fetch sound dosen't fix it

[willow hawk]

the game and GAMMA are on SSD ?

[north turret]

yes

all on same drive

[willow hawk]

prefetching sound should help

[north turret]

i thought so too

but it seems it dosent do anything

got anything in mind?

[willow hawk]

what's your audio setup ?

can as well try to click the "fix audio issue" in the launcher

(which is basically a deletion of the alsoft.ini from Anomaly/bin folder)

[lime ibex]

When is upgrading gear without a mechanic viable? Upgrading with a mechanic looks to be cheaper (and less rng dependent) than upgrading with a kit

[shadow sapphire]

Craft the upgrade kit, no rng. Costs less than using a mechanic as well.

[lime ibex]

Wait really? Generally upgrading with a kit costs a couple thousand, while a mechanic costs about the same

Or is that only for tier 1 upgrades?

[north turret]

Thanks, ill try.

[willow hawk]

some upgrades cost like 20k

and others even 80k

[lime ibex]

Ahhh like the infamous exo sprint upgrade

Thanks

[carmine wyvern]

Craft one Repair Kit, and use it indefinitely

if you are smart about it

[lime ibex]

You dont need to use a charge if you upgrade?

Big if yes

[carmine wyvern]

i.e. have the parts for repair & upgrades available

[carmine wyvern]

if you got the parts for repairs and the neccesary upgrade kits available you dont loose the usages

[willow hawk]

kits aren't consummed no

[lime ibex]

You mean the upgrade kit or the repair kit?

Or both?

[carmine wyvern]

but using repair kits for condition repair (weapon HP) is not recommended

[willow hawk]

repair kit

consummes upgrade, but not the repair kit

[carmine wyvern]

ye

[lime ibex]

I love this

So craft friendly

[willow hawk]

yes I made it so upgrading yourself is actually better

[carmine wyvern]

wait until you find the portable workbench

:P

[lime ibex]

Yeah about that

[shadow sapphire]

Or the fact that you use tools to open a workbench anywhere

[lime ibex]

Why should you use a workbench

[willow hawk]

now you keep these upgrade kit instead of selling them

[carmine wyvern]

craft shit yourself instead of paying the mechanic to use the vice

[lime ibex]

It just seems like a metal box with toolkits are beyter

[willow hawk]

there's a craftable workbench that moves the content of the linked box to your inventory

[carmine wyvern]

and you have ALL your mats in one stash to craft from

[lime ibex]

But isnt the max weight only like 200

[carmine wyvern]

300kg

[willow hawk]

300

[lime ibex]

Instead of 400

[carmine wyvern]

and its plenty

[willow hawk]

it's more than enough

[lime ibex]

Its more than enough for only crafting parts?

[willow hawk]

yes

[carmine wyvern]

ye

i stashed all my repair kits and upgrades there aswell

[lime ibex]

I have 250 kg of upgrade parts

Only 60+%

[carmine wyvern]

buy a 2nd one if you need one

or craft it yourself

[lime ibex]

Aye ill try that

[willow hawk]

parts to put in guns > put that in another stash

[lime ibex]

But what is so special about it

I still dont understand

[willow hawk]

only keep craft recipes related items in the craftabel workbench

(ammo parts, common items etc)

[lime ibex]

You mean the one that is super expensive to buy?

[carmine wyvern]

you have all the mats you need for crafting in one box, which you can access via crafting directly instead of shuffling inbtween boxes to get the correct amount of mats

[lime ibex]

Ahhhhh

So your inventory and the box's inventory are one and the same

[shadow sapphire]

Don't buy it. Cheap to make

[carmine wyvern]

its a dedicated crafting stash

[lime ibex]

As long as you stand next to it

[carmine wyvern]

the only thing you need in your inventory are the Basic/Advanced/Expert/Drugmaker/Ammo Toolkits

everything else for crafting should be in the workbench stash

[lime ibex]

coolest shit ive seen all day

Thanks ill give it a go

[carmine wyvern]

also when Artifact crafting.. keep the in the LLMC when stashin them in the workbench

[lime ibex]

Why

[carmine wyvern]

you will get irradiated if they are outside the containers and you want to use the workbench

there are crafting recipes for artifacts in containers

[willow hawk]

yes, buy lots of LLMCs

[lime ibex]

i only have perk artifacts so that aint a problem

[lime ibex]

*craft

[carmine wyvern]

.....for now

[willow hawk]

you don't need artefacts if you have a good armor

[carmine wyvern]

also Grok did you change how Dynamic Relations works in Gamma ?

asking cuz this:

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[willow hawk]

nope

[lime ibex]

Btw quick question:

When i craft i tend to keep my inventory empty, but how do y'all remember what you need exactly in your inventory

[carmine wyvern]

well until the workbench you have to remember mats

[lime ibex]

When you go out

[carmine wyvern]

when you actually got the workbench you just dump everything useful for crafting in there

you can also mark needed items as your favourites

so its easier to spot them when they drop

[lime ibex]

Yeah but i use a lot of different food

So it kinda defeats the purpose if i favorite ALL food

For example

Or say all artys

[carmine wyvern]

theres no real way about it i am afraid

maybe in the future

[lime ibex]

Hmmm i guess ill only use combat rations when in the field

[carmine wyvern]

a little integrated notepad in the PDA

always consume canned food first

its heavy and usually not that calorie dense

[lime ibex]

Yeah but i spend a lot of time in base

So i use that before/after waking up and when i spend a whole day crafting

[carmine wyvern]

yeah i do that too

[lime ibex]

Also what do you do with faction patches

I can hand em in for fat stacks or i can give em to aslan

[carmine wyvern]

get a Merc Outfit and go to Dead City

to trade patches for items at Aslan

[lime ibex]

Am ecologist

[carmine wyvern]

even better

[lime ibex]

But what is more worthwhile

11k from voronin and a stash

Or the lottery from aslan

I only got shit from aslan

[carmine wyvern]

i usually get a lot of Artifacts, Masculine Meals and Medicine

[lime ibex]

Some bad perk based artys

[carmine wyvern]

rarely you get guns and armor

[lime ibex]

Guess ill give him the high end patches

And give voronin the bandit ones

[carmine wyvern]

MP7, Dhampyr Deagle, Merc Seva

[lime ibex]

Cuz voronin pays shit for mono patch

Wair wait wait

Merc seva BODY ARMOUR

Or seva SUIT

[carmine wyvern]

yea

[lime ibex]

Or ACE

[carmine wyvern]

Merc SEVA for 30 Monolith

[lime ibex]

Yeah i have wastelander and veteran battlesuit

[carmine wyvern]

theres a chance to get it

[lime ibex]

Dont need it

I think

Idk about the stats tbh

[carmine wyvern]

MP7, Deagle "Dhampyr" for 30 Mono Patches

dont know what else he can give

[lime ibex]

Btw do you play ironman or invictus

Or are you a stalker genius in general

[carmine wyvern]

ironman is eventually invictus

i play normal

[lime ibex]

I can play hobo phase pretty well

But every time i die during combat intensive missions

Like radar

[carmine wyvern]

i play on semi-vanilla Gamma settings

[lime ibex]

You have any tips for those missions?

Or should i just grind the south until i have a nosorog and 5 full empties

[carmine wyvern]

uhm

you could get the perk artifact that makes you invis for 6 minutes sneak into BS clear it and dip

or get some 7.62x54r / .308 and clap them from long range, and juice yourself up w/ + 15 damage reduction painkiller

i havent cleared radar myself yet

[lime ibex]

Holy shit albert is that you

[carmine wyvern]

i didnt come up with the strat

its just a way to do it

you could get 2 , one for infil and one for exfil from radar

[lime ibex]

So you can stand right next to a mono

And he wont see you

[carmine wyvern]

i guess

but you cant interact, shoot etc.

[lime ibex]

Or just take an artefact smelter

Why would i interact with a monolith

I don't need their loot

Or do i?

[carmine wyvern]

you cannot attack

you are defenseless while invis

keep that in mind

[lime ibex]

Yes but they can't harm me so no issue

[carmine wyvern]

dunno, how it works

i guess if you come too close they still aggro

[lime ibex]

Well see

Thanks for the advice

[carmine wyvern]

[lime ibex]

Oh and uhhh

Should you do stuff in the night

[carmine wyvern]

i will deffo go into radar at night

[lime ibex]

In vanilla anomaly it wasnt a problem but for some reason when i tried to do dark valley i encountered

2 pseudos

2 controllers

3 chimeras

[carmine wyvern]

there are mutants that have a higher spawn at night

[lime ibex]

many packs of dogs and cats

[carmine wyvern]

night time is in general more dangerous overall when fighting mutants

[lime ibex]

2 big bloodsuckers

Oh ok

So you can make big stacks in the night

[carmine wyvern]

but against stalkers its easier

[lime ibex]

(cuz controller brain tissue sells for almost 10k)

But you can also die easily

[north turret]

Guys, can someone tell me where to download the modpack that has coffee, cars and base building implemented?

[willow hawk]

Hi 🙂 . Yes it should

[north turret]

thank you i'm selecting the preset radio channels and selecting play but no luck

[willow hawk]

brute force it a little bit

the UI is kind of weird

keyboard commands work better

[bleak anvil]

how do you fast travel?

[willow hawk]

right click to safe points o your PDA

[bleak anvil]

danke

[north turret]

oh yeah this dude

this guy is the reason I got this game
