Not really sure what channel to put this in, but on Hard difficulty, a Freedomer shouldn't be able to survive 12ga slugs point blank to the face right? Come across a pair of Freedomers that straight up eat 12ga fpr breakfast and refuse to die after multiple headshots and multiple center of mass shots. Feel like this has to be a mod/balance problem somewhere.

[wanton barn]

I’m on the quest to find Scar since I’ve been putting it off for so long and he simply won’t show up where he’s supposed to be, is there a way to spawn him in?

[shadow sapphire]

Whats the size of your anomaly folder

Disable the limit fast travel mod

[shadow sapphire]

What was their armor? And send a screenshot of your shotgun

[shadow sapphire]

!npc

[raw raft]

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

[lavish musk]

Is this exit not supposed to work? started walking out of the map

[cold gyro]

I don't recall what armor they were specifically wearing, but i believe it was just the standard combat armor with the gas mask and standard kevlar helmet, currently running a fully stock TOZ-194 @ 93%

[wanton barn]

Unfortunately no code listed for Scar

[shadow sapphire]

What is the barell condition?

[cold gyro]

46% currently

[shadow sapphire]

Thats why, its only doing 46% damage then. And they have armor

[north turret]

yeah your barrel is important for damage
you can get to I think around 70% barrel condition and deal full damage, but below that it drops sharp

also armor penetration scales off barrel condition

low quality barrel firing AP might as well use FMJ or HP against tough armor

[cold gyro]

I appreciate the replies Larkin and don't want to cause a hassle but that's still a 12ga slug, to the face, at point blank range, that doesn't make any sense to me at all.

[north turret]

yeah it's a bit odd, but unless a range damage modifier is somehow added, things like that will be happening
a longer range shot with a poorly stabilized projectile that isn't properly pushed through the barrel will hit weak

[shadow sapphire]

First, the slug probably wont pen their armor, as IRL slugs are fucking shit at armor pen, hence why you can stop a slug with level 3a armor, but not a 5.7 for instance.

[wanton barn]

You’d want the sabot/dart slugs to penetrate armor

[shadow sapphire]

Second, at 46% damage, on a Toz you are doing at most like 20 damage and probably less. which means even when you hit them and that armor stops it, MULTIPLE shots will be required to break the armor. Until the armor is broken, you arent hurting them.

[tidal raft]

I see, it's that time of day.

[cold gyro]

I understand your argument in terms of slug vs plate and 5.7 vs plate and overall penetration ballistics, but are you saying the gas mask is really providing as much armor as a bulletproof plate?

[cold gyro]

Just new to the mod and trying to figure everything out haha

[tidal raft]

Yup, that time of day.

[shadow sapphire]

3a is not a plate

for 1

[wanton barn]

Anyone have an issue as of yet where you can’t find Scar? He still hasn’t spawned, unfortunately doesn’t seem to be a console command to spawn him either, not one that I’ve found at least

[shadow sapphire]

Its soft kevlar

Most helmets, and yes even transparent plexi can get a 3a rating if built properly.

second, again, you have a gun doing less than HALF damage. Honestly if repaired, it would probably 2 or at most 3 shot

[wanton barn]

Or perhaps there’s a quest stage alteration that could be made

[shadow sapphire]

You are worrying about ballistics, but its not the ballistics that are the issue, its the fact that your weapon isnt repaired.

[shadow sapphire]

Did you see the link I gave you to try to respawn him?

[heavy haven]

Also you have to remember the model dose not represent their armor usually

i had a wimpy ass looking dude take 6 rounds of ap

and he had bare face and renegade light armor on

[wanton barn]

I did, Scar isn’t a listed NPC that can be spawned from what I’ve checked unless I somehow missed it

[shadow sapphire]

He can be, we just dont have his codes written down, you would have to find them honestly.

[fickle briar]

ty

[wanton barn]

Damn… I’ll try and keep looking till I can find a workaround

[shadow sapphire]

Sorry man, I just dont have every npc memorized or I would give you the info lol

[cold gyro]

Guess i just have to get more used to how damage and scaling works with different parts then with GAMMA, like i said, was never here to try and cause a hassle, just wanted to get a better understanding of how things work with this mod pack as I'm less than 10hrs deep.

[tidal raft]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and type "!scar"

[shadow sapphire]

I get that, we just get this exact thing every day. Please dont feel like we are upset. The best advice I can give is to read #│📚manual

[shadow sapphire]

And I learned something

Its also available in game on your pda.

[cold gyro]

Oh no no i totally understand and have no hard feelings at all towards anybody, just the fun of trying to get your head around how each mod pack handles ballistics haha

[tidal raft]

"Details.." when right-clicking firearms also display their damage percentiles over the barrel condition.

[cold gyro]

Gotcha gotcha, will have to give it a poke tomorrow and dig a bit deeper then, thanks guys!

[warm hawk]

Hey, what are the penalties for low body part health?
What are the consequences of having arms, legs, torso, or head injured specifically?

[stable surge]

Legs move slower, arms make aiming a pain. I think head makes the screen blurry and torso I'm not sure.

[wanton barn]

Scar disappeared and you can't complete your Clear Sky quest?

Spawn dragun_squad with the following method: <#╭📖faq message>. Save and reload, talk to him, a swarm of dogs will appear, kill them and then talk to Scar again. Spawning and talking to Scar immediately will fail the quest.

This unfortunately doesn’t help

[north turret]

torso lowers other limb health and max HP
head/torso HP 0, you die instantly

[wanton barn]

dragun_squad doesn’t show up

[warm hawk]

Got it, thank you both very much

[wanton barn]

The bot implies above with this that the issue is known and fixable but I can’t seem to get it to work

[brisk zinc]

Check pinned messages in here

There's a good guide, more extensive

I need to do a proper one when I can

[stable surge]

That's what torso does. I couldn't remember. So used to playing Tarkov that I usually heal head and torso ASAP.

[wanton barn]

I’ll give it a gander 🙏🏻

[versed tusk]

never forgotten classics

[wanton barn]

Would it be possible to find character spawn codes within the games files? Thinking of looking a bit deeper for a way to spawn Scar

[crude oyster]

are you able to combine ammo amounts to save weight like with items? the game usually separates them by 15 so if i have like 7 rounds each of 9x19 with .11 kg each, i assume it'd do combine it and save me an extra .11 like with glue tubes and such?

[wanton barn]

Also checked the pins for advice. No dice so far unfortunately

[north turret]

you should be able to just drag incomplete ammo piles onto each other to combine them in the inventory as-is, no tools needed
not sure of the amount of weight saved though

just click on the ammo, it opens the stack detail in the bottom middle, drag pile onto other pile

[crude oyster]

think he might have his spawn note in the base anomaly files, but you have to use the DB unpacker in the tools of the base folder to access it. itll create an XML archive of all those database files that you can look over and see the exact NPC you're looking for

[agile pier]

Hello.. after taking damage I am not able to select my weapons when I press 1 (knife) , 2 , and 3 on my keyboard. Why is this so?

[crude oyster]

ah i assumed so, always had trouble with it since its more specific on its limit than just basic uses like with items. ive been trying to test it more to see how well you can minmax inventory space to stay under encumbrance threshold. gotta be maximum hoarder for the zone

[gusty glen]

!unistall

!uninstall

!delete

[raw raft]

If you really need to delete everything because you're having problems: #╭📖faq message

[tidal raft]

And don't get us started on people complaining about not being able to barter with outfits/firearms..

[cold gyro]

Oh no dude i totally feel it, i just have a habit of getting way too turbo-autistic over weird firearms related things thanks to prolonged IRL exposure and tens of thousands of rounds fired haha

So i think the only question that i have left then is, is there somewhere that lays out how quickly barrels on average decay? If it's in the manual I'm totally cool with that and all about digging into it, just want to see if that information is presented anywhere so i can kind of gauge how quickly my barrels will decay.

[crude oyster]

you and me both, hearing "buck cant penetrate plexi plating" made me wanna claw my eyes out but if its the game mech then its the game mech, not much to do there.

in terms of barrel decay its usually decided by the reliability stat in the gun card

and thats for overall weapon reliability which works at a scale, so firing more often and full auto will degrade weapons quicker compared to more micromanaging semi auto fire

[tidal raft]

They will stay pristine as long as you maintain the firearms's overall condition above 85%.

[pseudo salmon]

Will i get better game performance if i disable unlimited stash weight and separate my gear into several smaller stashes?

[versed tusk]

yes

[cold gyro]

Perfect, thanks guys!

[crude oyster]

ehh it depends on how much you loaded into your stash

[cosmic rover]

Whats slowly draining my hp as I move around in anomaly fields
I don't think it's radiation bc I'm not coughing and my rad bar is empty
but like I'll go into a anomaly field
not get hit by any anomalies and leave almost dead

[cold gyro]

Bonus 12ga for funsies

[crude oyster]

if you got like trader level inventory then youll have some slow down when entering/leaving your stash but otherwise its not a massive hit

[tidal raft]

Starvation or dehydration.

[cosmic rover]

both bars are full

[crude oyster]

you can also just drop or donate your stuff to other traders, if you're not needing them anymore but not sure where to put them

[crude oyster]

standing close to certain anomalies can damage you like electros, or fruit punch iirc

[pseudo salmon]

Some anomaly fields have AoE i think. Your gear might not be good enough. Like when standing near an electro, i can lose hp even if not hiting it.

[cosmic rover]

yeah my suits also getting real fucked up

[tidal raft]

Are they heat, gas, acid, or electric anomalies?

All above have residual damages over time if your outfit is inadequate.

[cosmic rover]

yep

[dense cargo]

I just ran into this issue a few days ago. it's just "dragun" not dragun_squad

[wanton barn]

Hmm… I’ll try it

[dense cargo]

I also thought the quest was immediately failing after talking to him, but you need to just wait for those 5 million pseudodogs to spawn and attack

load up some buckshot

[wanton barn]

Got it

AYYY, IT WORKED

Much thanks Брат 💚

[fickle briar]

does a artifact (or any other bonus) that gives 10% defence to electro/balistic etc. works like:
let's say armor with 30%base ballistic/electro/whatever defence,
30+10=40% defence
30+10%=33% defence

[main raft]

Why are all the artifacts that i find near broken? And no one will buy them

[versed tusk]

it's part of the Artefact overhaul

you need to farm them, and then use the artefact melter to make them better

#│📚manual has a little explainer

[main raft]

ahh

can i buy an artefact melter or do i need to find one

[versed tusk]

Yantar

buy at suckarov

[main raft]

ok

[winged ether]

does anyone know what weapons Monolith uses for the sake of disguises?

[digital wind]

you can't disguise as monolith

they usually use the ak 12 monolith, ak 74s and nato standard weapons and snipers

[main raft]

is there a crafting guide anywhere?

with all the recipes

[winged ether]

How do you disable the player voice when equipping items? I have the two from !voice turned off already

eg: when putting a scope on a weapon my character is doing voice lines id like to disable

[digital wind]

i think you have to go to your active mods

and look up the mod for that

im not sure what the mod is called

and turn it off

[winged ether]

yeah im trying to figure that out, there are 300+ in vanilla gamma so it's a lot to dig through haha

[digital wind]

i like the voice because it makes the game feel a lot more real life like

and it gives a sense of accomplishment when u put something on it

idk bro turning it off makes the game more bland

[winged ether]

when im in a tense situation and swapping my weapon scopes with bullets flying around me, it kills the immersion to start chuckling and say "cheeki breeki"

and regardless the question is how to disable it, not whether or not I should

[dense cargo]

ran into an issue with Mortal Sin. ||after clearing out the leaders and returning to Rogue, he says he has a reward for me but no items are received, and I can no longer advance the quest. it still says I need to talk to him even though theres no dialogue option.|| any one have this issue or know a work around?

[viscid zephyr]

Is Sakharov supposed to sell something to go to the red forest?

[digital wind]

yes, a special helmet

[viscid zephyr]

Okay I just checked and he doesn't have it

[digital wind]

he does

[viscid zephyr]

[digital wind]

you have to talk to him

[viscid zephyr]

I did

The only thing he had

At 30k

[digital wind]

yeah its that one'

the 30k helmet

psy helmet

[viscid zephyr]

This is the only 30k thing

I checked everything he had

I'm level 4 with him

[digital wind]

what is ur relationship with ecologists

like 1500 for example

nm

[digital wind]

yeah idk thats weird you might have to re-install idk

if it doesnt have an option for it

you definitely should have it

i would save my game and do a clean re-install

[viscid zephyr]

I just did a full install recently

[hollow phoenix]

for the chef at yantar who trades basic tools for vodka, does he take specific bottles or any?

[digital wind]

let me check hold on

[terse sun]

do you guys also experience broken phantoms sometimes, won't do psy damage but just linger around you indefinitely? Reloading seems to fix this issue

[digital wind]

he took nemerov vodka

nemiroff

red vodka basically its the cheapest one i think

[hollow phoenix]

aight ty

[bleak anvil]

Does anyone know where this stash is? In darkscape

Seems to be in a big tree but cant get into it

[digital wind]

ill take a look hold on

[native cliff]

So the trader in Yanov is Freedom. Is he neutral? Or if I piss off Freedom will he try to kill me?

[digital wind]

use the debug menu

for the psi helmet

and just remove like 30k worth of money so its fair ig

[viscid zephyr]

I don't know the command

[digital wind]

he wont kill you. you will have level 1 supply for the items

[digital wind]

go to anomoly launcher and click on the debug meny option

hold on

u don't need commands

[native cliff]

Boooo

Thanks!

[viscid zephyr]

I'll go check

[digital wind]

once in the game

press F7

when u load in the save

go to items>items(quest)

[viscid zephyr]

The uncalibrated one?

[digital wind]

calibrated

get that one

dont get the uncalibrated

[viscid zephyr]

Alright, am I supposed to be able to wear it?

[untold orbit]

Does anyone know if you're still able to skin mutants with a Fire Axe?

[minor star]

You can't skin mutants with any axe

Thanks

[fathom cape]

@median lagoon been trying to do the gamma expedition download and my game keeps crashing on startup

[bleak anvil]

how do you repair weapon parts that are below 60%?

[digital wind]

use the spray can from the parts traders

depending on the condition

[bleak anvil]

its 54%

[digital wind]

it should say 40>

yeah use the spray

[bleak anvil]

ta

[digital wind]

?

[bleak anvil]

thank u 😄

[digital wind]

np

check the parts condition too

u can field strip guns and replace the parts from other stuff

that are in better condition

Hi, I'd like to play with Mags Redux activated, but I can't seem to get NPC to drop mags with ammo is that normal? What should I do?

Can someone help?

[fleet glacier]

either needed for quests or you can give them to traders in dialogue option

some are unremovable from inventory tho if i'm not mistaken but have 0 weight

[digital wind]

does anyone know where to get the barrett sniper rifles

i cant find them anywhere

like these

[frail coral]

in MO2 what does the turn this on if you stutter do I'm asking because I stutter every now and then but especially in an area like rostok I was wondering if this would fix the lower fps in a few areas or stutter upon loading in these areas and as in what does it mainly change

[sturdy stone]

Don’t think they drop, at least I’ve never seen them. Maybe the bolt action one once but I didn’t get a chance to loot it and check.

[sturdy stone]

Test it and find out. It just lowers the range at which the aLife process runs

[frail coral]

ok thank you

[sturdy stone]

Enable “traders sell mags” in MO2.

[sturdy stone]

Harmless to use afaik, at least from what I was told. Imagine it helps more the deeper into a game you are

[main raft]

is there a crafting guide? or list of all recipes anywhere

how do you unlock the psu upgrade for the exoskeleton

[graceful iron]

you buy the recipes from ecologists or mercs at supply level 5 (2000 goodwill)

[digital wind]

ok thanks yeah that makes sense

[main raft]

gotchaaa

which work bench can i look at for the recipes? Is there one near the rookie village i missed?

i only know the one in cordon past the rail

[grizzled raven]

good rep

rep as in the things in your profile like "excellent" and "brilliant"

[winged ether]

I'm at Excellent, isnt that the max?

[grizzled raven]

yea

you could try asking other people i guess

[winged ether]

okay, thanks for confirming its based on Rep

[graceful iron]

you can right click on any toolkit and open workbench from anywhere. if you dont have one you can use the workbenches by talking to the technicians in cordon, rostok, army warehouses, swamps and a few other places

[main raft]

thank you cat

[violet zinc]

Which .ltx file contains the drugs and other meds? I'm wanting to change the max_uses on some stuff but I can't find the file to do so.

[main raft]

will technicians tell you the price of repair?

or is it just available or not

nevermind

it works now

i also just found a portable workshop

neat

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly not sure it's going to be one of the item_ .ltx could be called medical or drugs

[shadow sapphire]

Please say you didn't do a delayed repair at technician

[main raft]

i didnt

just wasn't getting a popup for price

[shadow sapphire]

Kk. Don't use delayed repair ever. And I wouldn't use repair at all as it doesn't repair parts

[native cliff]

[winged ether]

can companions use gauss rifles?

Hey, I'm constantly losing health and can't find the reason. It seems I'm not radiated, hungry, thirsty or hurt. Went to a medic to fix my health but it didn't help. Any ideas?

[raven sparrow]

Is "handrolled tobacco" in the game? I'

I've seen missions for it but I've never looted it as far as I know, and I'm pretty far into the game

[mortal mist]

What are the new storylines??

Where do u start them

As who

[mystic finch]

so is it only the ak 12 2016 now?

[sonic iris]

Where do you start?

[willow hawk]

yes

[hexed galleon]

First time playing merc and I'm in dead city

[willow hawk]

AK2016, AK Monolith and AK Monolith Kitted

[mystic finch]

the 2016 only has semi and auto though it was never fixed properly

[willow hawk]

In terms of recoil and accuracy it goes like Mono Kit > Mono > 2016

[sonic iris]

Start in DC? its a Psy-Emission in the Shool building

[mystic finch]

the 2016 is meant to have two round burst the in game version does not even have three round burst the 2012 in game version had semi,auto and three round burst

[hexed galleon]

No, I don't think so. Didn't enter the school

Shouldn't things that damage the caracter be indicated by blinking icons?

[mystic finch]

does this new ak 12 2016 have three round burst?

[warm sand]

Anyway to toggle lasers?

[north turret]

hold L for laser

[warm sand]

Thank you norpster

[north turret]

how do I unbind the scroll wheel from swapping weapons? the next & previous weapon keybinds are unbound in the options menu but the wheel still does it
got me killed a couple times because my mouse is starting to bugger itself

[warm sand]

Don't think you can from in game binds at all

[north turret]

assumed as much, but the mousewheel is not bound anywhere in user.ltx

so I don't know where it's configured to be bound to weapon swap, nor how to force it to something else

[warm sand]

L isnt working for lasers, anyone know where I can find it in files or anything like that?

[brisk zinc]

Do you have the laser on the weapon?

[violet zinc]

Anyone know what .ltx files contains the meds/drugs for gamma?

[clear lark]

Thanks for the answer, but I found another workaround. The actual problem was that NPCs were always dropping empty mags upon killing them. So I tweaked the Mags Redux "npc_mag_loadouts" file and now that I kill are dropping some round inside their mags. Thanks again, I forgot to activate the traders mod.

[warm sand]

I can see a green laser on my AK saiga-12 isg, thought it was toggleable

Ok so i pretty much did everything(almost)to optimise my fps

is there any way to disable JSRS and have the vanilla sounds back

[daring quarry]

Hi all, is there some sort of weapon/armor list somewhere where you can look up an overview of what's the item's full details are including parts and stuff?

[opal relic]

Under Helpers / #│📚manual list of guns and armours, do not have their parts though

[daring quarry]

Yea I found that one already, I was looking for full information. Thanks though 🙂

[opal relic]

@willow hawk The Limbs Hud aint showing, pretty sure i did everything right...

[north turret]

Pretty please

[north turret]

@willow hawk

[willow hawk]

Complicated

[north turret]

I will do everything step by step

As i figured out that the bullet cracking sounds do have a impact on the fps

[velvet pier]

Limbs HUD disappeared after updating to latest version :V
Pressing H doesn't do anything. All I see is the psy bar I think.

[opal relic]

Yeah same

[severe shadow]

After the update I can't see my health below the psy bar, and H key is not working. Fix?

[limber sorrel]

second that

[velvet pier]

Guys brb I'll test a theory

Amazing

[blissful tree]

[velvet pier]

@willow hawk added a return to the zzz_health_injuries in torso_penalties.
It is meant to disable them.
But instead it makes the hud disappear
Removing the return fixes the hud

[severe shadow]

How do you do that? MCM?

[velvet pier]

Nope. That's script files

Imma uh, try something else, report back and drop the file

[willow hawk]

oh shit

[velvet pier]

Oh nvm I guess the man will fix it himself

[willow hawk]

fixed

[opal relic]

Damn your quick...

Funnily enough I fixed it differently, lol.

i did both

[willow hawk]

do what I'm saying please

redo "update gamma data"

@winter raptor

[north turret]

Hello. I disabled 'Accessible zone' when creating the character, but the pds shows the exits, and I was able to move into the swamps. How do I?

[willow hawk]

make sure you did. Otherwise some areas are accessible while others will tell you "unknown path" iirc when approaching the exits

[north turret]

Thanks will do! Is the swamp available from the start?

Gamma is great btw. Thanks for the hard work.

i want to empower my volat emerald, how do i know what other artifacts i can use it with?

if i clear an area say agropom tunnels will that area stay clear or will bandits respawn?

[blissful tree]

Other bandits will spawn and even mutants.

damn

guess i need about 100 rounds

Should take a while for that to happen though.

Hey, I got a question. I got a quest from Rabbit (yes monolith) that I need to bring him 12 packs of old meat. Is it even in gamma?

[glacial oracle]

how do i add songs to the PDA radio?

[graceful iron]

yes, you can buy it from food traders and rarely find it as loot

[inland cedar]

Ok thanks ❤️

Can you confirm me that after the last update every companion has a 30 kg carry weight limit?

[graceful iron]

yes, the carry weight addon was disabled

[next dagger]

Oh no what can I do without my three pack mules?

[versed tusk]

time to stop abusing them i guess for ya'll

[next dagger]

at this point logistics becomes the most difficult element in the game!

[mystic finch]

what is this companion carry weight bug? is it game breaking?

[proven nebula]

Hello, is there a possibility that weapon parts below 60% can be repaired. if not, does anyone know what I have to change in the mod file?

are you supposed to be not be able to trade with NPCs anymore?

i don't get options to trade with regular NPCs

Yes btw

Any tips for x19? The mutants in there send a lot of ghosts and balancing the ghosts and their physical attacks is a hell of a lot.

[sonic iris]

Cannabis, anti-psy meds ect. Ect. Ect.

where can I sell weapons and equipment? None of the well-known dealers take the stuff

[lone field]

Aye everyone. Quick question. I just updated GAMMA and i cannot open the minimap anymore. Not that i care a lot as it's just like the base game, but i just wanted to know if i'm missing something or it's just a bug

[lone field]

i don't think you can my friend, you can tear them apart and use the pieces to repair new gear

[sonic iris]

minimap? I think it's standard on slash

I almost feared it

[lone field]

but don't take me too seriously. I just read the story about the military problem and the guns are not allowed in vendors, so it would make sense if you can't sell them

[sonic iris]

🤨

[lone field]

💀 i missed something?

[brisk zinc]

No you don't

[sonic iris]

No no, everything is fine, weapons are always in circulation, someone has to buy them, my boxes are full to the brim

[brisk zinc]

Don't take them

It's useless

You can't sell them

Leave them on the ground or donate them

[sonic iris]

😵 o...kay thx for the answer

[lone field]

thanks for confirming

[brisk zinc]

Just field strip them

Or disassemble them

Grab only what you need

Then if you want to grab every gun in the zone, you can

But you can't sell them

[maiden comet]

Hello, i don't know where to ask this question but do i need to manually update mods or something?

[brisk zinc]

!update

[raw raft]

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

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

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

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

[upper prairie]

i got no fps issues
but the bootup and the save/load time taking like 5mins

[sonic iris]

oh that's what you mean

[sonic iris]

use you DX Normal or AVX?

[upper prairie]

avx 11

[sonic iris]

try it without

[shadow sapphire]

Ahhhhhhhh

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

[spark isle]

so I have the wrong version?

[versed tusk]

152 is out for a bit now, and Gamma requires the update now

@shadow sapphire thanks for that advice on the miracle machine with the crashing problems. after a week i finally returned and managed to survive all the crashing and shut it down, and have almost no ammo left for my m4

i went in with almost 500 rounds

and leaving with less than 100

[shadow sapphire]

What version are you on?

[soft niche]

i updated to the newest one

[shadow sapphire]

You still had crashes after the newest update?

[soft niche]

yeah

kept crashing untill i turned the machine off

once i turned the miracle machine off it stopped

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send the log to me? I found and we fixed the root issue for the crashes, so I want to see if its a new crash or because your save preexists the fix

[soft niche]

what was it i need to send?

it seems to always crash on the third switch

and seems random after that

once the machine is fully off after the forth

it stops

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send the .bkp file

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah looking at it, its still doing the thing that wont happen now that we fixed, most likely because you loaded in before the fix at one point. I am glad you finished it though

[soft niche]

i happy to finally be out of there

now i need to figure out how to get out of the pipes

i dont remember it well

[oblique pond]

just a few minutes prior the health was up to about the little icon's hairline

How are you trying to heal you limbs?

[oblique pond]

the medkits

hey i cant figure out what mod conflicts with configurable loot condition it changes weapon conditions but doesnt want to do the same for outfits

[shadow sapphire]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[topaz frigate]

does it count as custom if i didnt change anything in modloader?

[viscid sparrow]

is it normal the doctor only offering me 15000 for an 100% battery?

[shadow sapphire]

If you are changing scripts, enabling disabling mods, editing scripts, applying your own patches, etc. Then its custom. Effectively excluding like in game setting (with some exceptions) if you change it from the way gamma was on install then it is no longer vanilla.

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[topaz frigate]

technically im only changing values in settings but they dont reflect in game

[shadow sapphire]

Ah okay, I misunderstood as I thought you were adding or changing something since you had said conflict.

So what are you trying to accomplish

[topaz frigate]

so theres a mod in mod pack called configurable loot condition and it doesnt change outfit conditions

npcs still drop low durability outfits but it works fine with weapons

[shadow sapphire]

outfit drop chance is the mod that controls outfits

[topaz frigate]

wrong mode name mb

its drop condition

[shadow sapphire]

This mod regulates drop chance and also is where the drop condition calculation takes place

[topaz frigate]

i meant this mod sorry for confusion

[viscid sparrow]

im with the default modlist

nothing changed only mutant bleeading and loot claim

[topaz frigate]

so basically what happens if i put weapon drop condition and outfit drop condition to 100% weapons will drop with 100% but outfits wont

[shadow sapphire]

A - Not Vanilla, B - Mutant Bleeding is a disabled seperator mod

[shadow sapphire]

!disabled

[raw raft]

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

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

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

[viscid sparrow]

Lol got it xD

Yeah I get what you are saying. Im currently going through the scripts to see if something is overriding and what that something is

I started a new game as loner in hidden base with Clear Sky guys standing around and i think i got killed by an anomaly right when i stood near the medic in a door frame. Everything was brightly lit and then i died. Is that normal?

Just so we are on same page, this screen is where you are chaning it right?

[shadow sapphire]

Was there a weird noise happening?

[topaz frigate]

@shadow sapphire yes

[paper hornet]

but nobody else died

Hmmm theoretically that should work. But I am curious, give me a few

[viscid sparrow]

Thats a pulse

re: today's update,
"DELETE SHADERS CACHE folder from Anomaly/appdata"

we do that before we download and update from the installer?

[paper hornet]

thats me laying in the doorframe

[topaz frigate]

heres mine everything at 100% @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

It doesnt specify and order, I dont think it matters as long as you do it before playing

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you got hit by a pulse, when you hear that noise and see the light, run away from the light.

[north turret]

that sometimes happens when you take a task to find a PDA in a stash, and then the quest giver dies (either before you get the stash or after you loot it, I can't remember if that changes things)
good news is, if you get a different PDA-in-a-stash task, you can complete it by turning that PDA in to the task giver, since it is coded as the same exact item
or at least that's how it's worked on my end

is hip able to die? also am i able to give her good gear, like heavy armor and a better gun?

[dim rune]

update to my earlier problem, i preformed full install, still no lights in dead city

[north turret]

she can die yes, but she has increased health compared to everyone else
don't think you can upgrade her armor, but companions can use belt items (armor plates, artefacts, ect.) and you can take away her shotgun and give her something better

like all companions, she will always have her default weapon on her, and she might pick up a weapon during a fight and not want to drop it, ever, until she dies

[soft niche]

can i force her to equip a gun?

and do i need to supply ammo?

[north turret]

you can use a separate mod (included in MO2) to open the companion's true inventory and remove all other weapons that you don't want her to use
and companions have infinite ammo, but their weapons do take durability damage

[hard ridge]

Where in the options is the fast travel cooldown timer?

[shadow sapphire]

[hard ridge]

Thanks!

[hard ridge]

I also have this question - how exactly does this work? I'm sick of my companion pulling out their TOZ in a fight when I gave them a fully repaired AK-74

[north turret]

haven't tested this myself, but:
enable this mod, check their inventory

[hard ridge]

Ah ok, what are the issues and bugs associated with it? Is this the one that also allows you to change their armor?

I've had two loner companions with me since they were rookie/trainee. Now they're both at professional but still have basic no armor clothing

[north turret]

I believe it can cause a crash when moving items, especially with the shift fast move
or at least the armor one can do that

the main issue with companion inventory unlock is that a companion's default weapon is in great condition until they die
so if you can just take that weapon, you can theoretically get a VERY good weapon massively earlier than you should

[hard ridge]

Ah I see - well I'm way past that really being an issue since they have a TOZ and a Makarov as their default weapons and I've equipped them with fully repaired assault rifles

[north turret]

oh yeah, I forgot to say, do enable that second mod, just take care when moving large amounts of items to/from them

[hard ridge]

will their armor condition degrade over time and require maintenance?

if I give them suits with that mod?

[north turret]

I've not tried it myself so I cannot tell, you'll have to experiment
also not sure if their visual changes based on the armor

[north turret]

ah yes, the Makarov challenge runner NPC
you should be glad he's ruining his run to help you

I have a defend the pump station side quest. I've been told to talk to the commander of the guards but I can't find him/her anywhere? Could they've died?

[radiant stirrup]

Thanks a lot mate!

[soft niche]

why do i randomly drop things?

like i was going to cordon

and some where i just lost my armor

i have no idea how

i just checked my inventory and noticed my armor was just gone

i had to reload a earlier save to get it back

[hard ridge]

Where do I get a firestarter set?

I'm not sure I've seen one yet

[shadow sapphire]

update

[soft niche]

i did

i did update before i started

[paper hamlet]

Hey folks, anyone know how to get the aggressor reshade working in the load order?

[hearty goblet]

Doing this quest but cannot find the documents at all, ive looked all over where the marker is. Any ideas on what im doing wrong?

[main raft]

do I have to get a technician to repair suits. I can't find any near or around 50% all at 10-20%

[green oar]

If I do jobs as a loner for freedom, do I get problems with duty? I want NATO ammo but they are not selling it to me

[agile pier]

Hello.. after taking damage I am not able to select my weapons when I press 1 (knife) , 2 , and 3 on my keyboard. Why is this so?

[versed tusk]

Smells like Busy hands

it's a nasty bug and you'll need to load a save when it wasn't affecting you

[hearty goblet]

probably dropped them

[soft niche]

so

how do i kill those black floating orb things

one took my entire inventory

and i got no idea how i am suppose to kill it

[pure matrix]

so Fanatic wants a Battery Artefact but it's not in the debug menu's list of possible artefacts, or at least theres nothing named battery

[shadow sapphire]

artifacts dont have the same object name as they do ui name. Mouse over the different ones.

[agile pier]

but when i bring up my inventory it still shows the weapons are in my slots

[versed tusk]

i gave you an answer

whats the trigger to get Hip to be in Rookie village? i dont see her

[chilly saddle]

I wonder why the barret and some snipers are not in gamma?

[north turret]

Sniper rifles are quite rare. Some of them aren't in loot drops because of poor balance, animations and stuff.

[chilly saddle]

I see, thanks for your answer. Wish to see a barret in the Zone sometime.

[shadow sapphire]

Gamma has a high standard of both balance, and polish. Guns that do not meet these standards have been removed from loot drops.

In addition, guns that are copy pastes of other guns were also removed, the idea is to create an experience where each gun has its place and use, and is not just OH BOY ANOTHER AK74.

[mighty igloo]

how does one install the addons like camelpack and such?

[shadow sapphire]

Right click attach to belt

[mighty igloo]

ah ok. it was obvious thats why I didnt see it lol

[terse sun]

installed latest update, 329 active mods instead of 328 😄

I did click "full gamma installation" instead of "installa gamma addons only", but this shouldn't matter really? Or am I wrong?

[shadow sapphire]

Thats correct. Hotfix reenabled bounty squads to stop an NPC spawning issue.

Channel updated, thanks!

Also

!blind

[raw raft]

If NPCs are ignoring/not reacting to you, even if you shoot them. Hit escape go to Mod Configuration Menu -> Stealth -> Click Default -> Click Apply

[terse sun]

thanks! 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

No worries, its been a morning lol

[terse sun]

yeah I bet, lots of new stuff in this update

[wicked blade]

Is it normal for destroy/conquer the enemy tasks to complete seconds before an emission/psy emission happens?

[shadow sapphire]

If they dont find cover they die.

[wicked blade]

the emission hasn't occurred yet...

its like, the task pops up complete... then the sky goes dark + sound effects and siren goes off.

[terse sun]

that's normal, the offline combat can calculate stuff in advance

[wicked blade]

my task is in Jupiter north of SW containers, and I'm by the ventilation complex in Jupiter.

So, that wouldn't count as Alife offline?

[terse sun]

some posts where these quest happen are far from the nearest shelter and those will usually get recked by the emissions - quests like "defend rostok" by killing mercs in their usual wild territory camp will continue on as those will find shelter

especially jupiter

jupiter is very scarce with shelters

same for truck cemetary

[wicked blade]

... but again, the emission hasn't actually reached deadly level yet... they have same time to find safety as me?

and im not dead.

[terse sun]

ok so there's two differences in stalker

"online" and offline combat

online is what would be where you're at at the present moment - those stalkers will have the same timer as you

as to what happens offline is calculated in advance with certain results, otherwise the game would crash to smithereens under 1 core support

[wicked blade]

And being in Jupiter, means Jupiter whole region is online (all other locations offline)?

[terse sun]

that I'm not sure

I'm not familiar with the actual script of this game

that would be a question for the devs really

[wicked blade]

Oh, so large regions like Jupiter/Zaton might be sectioned further?

[shadow sapphire]

No, its only within 350m thats online

Anything outside that is offline

[wicked blade]

How far is Jupiter ventilation complex from the bridge north of SW containers?

[terse sun]

there you go, and jupiter is bigger than 350m, so is darkscape for example

there should be an option under settings to turn on the distance meter

so if you have a high spot somewhere near, you can just aim at the destination and get a distance

[oblique pond]

!stuck

uh oh

ok i got stuck between the rocks at the rock pounder or whatever its called anomaly in cordon next to the train rubnel

tunnel

is there any super secret free teleport command or somethin bc i am Broke

i do have a semi recent save but id be losing like

three artefacts

[shadow sapphire]

If you have debug on 0 to enter no clip enter to land

[versed tusk]

debug and then nocplip

[wicked blade]

Im about 280m away... certainly less than 300m

[oblique pond]

how do i do the debug thing again

also ty

[shadow sapphire]

Its also possible they got wiped by something when they broke cover

[shadow sapphire]

[upper prairie]

does a SDD make the loading screen shorter?
cuz after googleing for some while i didnt found anything what helps

[shadow sapphire]

Yes SSDs load much faster. My average load time is about 45 seconds

[versed tusk]

SSD will always improve loading times

[shadow sapphire]

Literally the main benefit of an SSD is its read speed

[chilly saddle]

Does giving companion grenades actually do something?

[wicked blade]

Is it recommended to have offline combat on full? If only the task would not complete and switch to search the bodies for proof of kill.

[shadow sapphire]

Also, thank you for earlier.

[chilly saddle]

Feel like they never use it

[shadow sapphire]

You cant loot emission bodies anyway in GAMMA the explode

[versed tusk]

but ofc

[shadow sapphire]

But no, we do not recommend putting additional resource strain on your PC

[crude oyster]

can you recruit zombified stalkers as companions when you're monolith/sin?

[arctic musk]

Does this look too glossy to you? I'm wondering if there is an issue...

[versed tusk]

first off, do proper screenshots

!screen

[raw raft]

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

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

[versed tusk]

and also try this:

[compact coral]

looks ok to me

[versed tusk]

try
r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5
in the console

[compact coral]

also is it normal to have pseudogiants invade the northern parts of cordon after only 3 days ingame?

[arctic musk]

Perfect thank you, I think I accidentally scrolled the slider in the settings.

[pure matrix]

is there any mechanic for holding breath steadying aim?
theres a fairly noticable amount of deviation when holding aim

[versed tusk]

not in vanilla Gmamma, no - make sure your arms arent damaged

[jagged vale]

My optic is blurry under NVGs, how is this fixed?

[versed tusk]

everything close to you is blurry with nvgs - or am I misunderstanding?

[jagged vale]

only my red dot Kobra, everything else is pretty good

[versed tusk]

and most sights get washed out a lot, yes

[jagged vale]

the reticle itself is blurred

[versed tusk]

ye

[orchid barn]

Any RDS with green reticules have that issue

[jagged vale]

no brightness adjustment of optic to put out NVG appropriate light levels?

I know about the adjustment/gain of the NOD

[orchid barn]

No fix for those sights as far as I know. Honestly I still don't understand the underlying issue since red reticules work just fine

[jagged vale]

ok. I'm using an AK103, do prism sights work under NVGs?

[versed tusk]

mcm > beef if you want to test settings of the NV shaders. iirc Beef even has a little tutorial on moddb how to make them look as intended but I never got those sights to work better. I started using NVs off at ADS to get around that issue

[jagged vale]

IP29 works under NODs. Thanks so much for your help! ))

Btw, are there any LAMs for NODs shooting? Laser Aiming Modules?

[main raft]

I see clear sky has a domesticated pseudodog

when do i get my domesticated pseudogiant

[versed tusk]

some guns have them, some guns can fit kits with them

but dont expect them to be moddable freely

[jagged vale]

thanks for the info!

[hollow heath]

I'm trying to make sense of how the game calculates damage done with different bullets. let's say .45 hydra shock has "flesh damage power" of v/high while FMJ has low-medium, but what does that mean? Is it some sort of % based multiplier or something?

[sly lark]

what's the deal with the amount of mutants spawning at transition points in maps like truck cemetery and red forest? First time I entered red forest and I get 2 pseudogiants, 2 cats, 3 chimeras. There also have been times when a controller is waiting for me after entering a new map which feels a bit cheap. I don't remember it being like this in standard anomaly

[versed tusk]

by replacing the parts inside

usable on mechanic's workshop means i need to use a technician's vice in order to replace parts?

yea, it is how i thought it worked i just didnt have the proper tool in my inventory lol

ty for the help

[sly lark]

only difference with default list I think is that I have unlimited stash weight and a personal MCM config (with only YACS disabled)

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send a screen shot of the default MCM ZCP settings screen?

[sly lark]

sure

[compact coral]

wait

armors can only wear patchs of their respective factions?

[warped ginkgo]

yeah, armors can only wear patches from its own faction armor

it says in the description of the armor, which faction it belongs to

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly your settings look normal. Occasionally xray/scp can fuck you, but it shouldnt be happening every spawn. We attempted a thing to prevent mutants from being near entrances, but it did not work sadly.

[compact coral]

rip

i just scammed myself into repairing a bandit armor for nothing

[sly lark]

so far it's been really brutal every time I go to truck cemetery. Red forest I went only once but if it happens again I can post autosave if needed for testing. I had 2 pseudogiants chasing me lol

[shadow sapphire]

It does and can happen, for instance radar is famous for 2x chimera. But I can tell you of all my RF loads, I have never had 2 giants. Sadly some is to be expected but it shouldnt be every load.

[pure matrix]

by default without the DNPCAV NPC wear armor submod, can NPCs take advantage of different stat armor you give them?

[winged ether]

when fusing artifacts, does the component artifacts' condition influence the new artifact's condition?

[main raft]

does anyone buy guns? or no

not buy them from traders, I fixed some up and I wanna sell them

[winged ether]

dont think so

[main raft]

;-;

does the condition of the guns i give to my companions matter?

[compact coral]

disassemble them with a multitool or field strip and sell the parts

[winged ether]

yeah, barrel condition affects damage and part condition affects jamming rate AFAIK

[main raft]

are parts good money or nah

[compact coral]

if youre a loot goblin like myself you can make some good buxxx selling garbage

[main raft]

bet

im a compulsive loot hoarder

my day has come

[compact coral]

same goes for armor parts

[gritty minnow]

Are some artifacts better at low efficiency? I noticed Gravi for example, the higher the efficiency, the higher the negatives and the weight carried never increased being 7,707 from the lowest efficiency to highest

[winged ether]

parts below 60% condition arent easy to repair for use, but you can sell them for chump change to technicians. not a lot but adds up

[gritty minnow]

Unless this is a bug? Cause it means empowering Gravi is useless

[clever flame]

Does using an axe on wooden/metal boxes lower the chance to get something out of them?
