[nimble geyser]

let me guess

it needs to be in the 1.5.1 folder itself

and i misinterpreted the meaning of root since it's early af

[north turret]

I found out that converting yadulin into ibuprofen is big - less dizziness and heals limbs almost to full, also certain medications like Sulfo etc. Also permanently heals torso or head and some limbs

[carmine wyvern]

true, but generally the way i posted is the hassle free way

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. It literally replaces files in the 1.5.1 folder

[carmine wyvern]

all the other meds are pretty niche and useful for the Hobo Phase

but after Hobo you dont really need them anymore besides crafting

[shadow sapphire]

Literally go into it, copy all the stuff and paste in your anomaly folder the 1.5.1 folder

Say yes to overwrite

[nimble geyser]

smooth

brain

nice

alright I'll repeat the other steps and hopefully that fixed it

[sharp crown]

I got a question bout the Hideout Furniture mod, the placeable workbench, do I need to have the tools in my inventory or will they work in the workbenchs stash?

[shadow sapphire]

In your inventory

[sharp crown]

righto

cheers

[quaint iris]

has anyone been able to tweak the companion ai to stay much closer and not constantly be 10-20 meters behind when sprinting?

[north turret]

Other than the stash, what's the purpose of the workbench, I still need to have tools in my inventory

[shadow sapphire]

The fact that you don't need to pull materials out to craft. And also take it up with the mod author it's not a gamma developed mod

[royal anchor]

can anyone else hear the mask breating or helmet rain sfx? i have them on but i cant hear them

[nimble geyser]

@shadow sapphire seems to have worked

Thanks

[north turret]

Wait, so I can put materials in the chest of the bench and I can craft anything with those mats without taking them out?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[north turret]

Holy shit, that's so good

I waste so much time looking for mats in my stashes

Was the space 200 kg?

[lusty solar]

300kg iirc

[north turret]

Shieet

That's a godsent

[lusty solar]

one of the first things i built next to a mechanic

[north turret]

Fuck looking for my materials in stashea

Il set up mine in Yantar

Egghead vibes

Materials in bench stash, rest in the stash infront of Sakharov

Workbench changes everythinf

[shadow sapphire]

Now you know why the first time you asked me why make a stash when I can make box I about had an aneurysm

[north turret]

I legit have spent hours crafting items because I was always looking for the right parts

[carmine wyvern]

lmao i remember that

[north turret]

And when you are a goblin like me, you tend to have a lot of materials

Can't wait to get back home and play some

Hands itchin

[north turret]

How do you do the thing where you move your line of sight from a scope to iron sights while still ads?

I thought it was V but I have something else binded to it

[shadow sapphire]

What gun, and what else is bound to it?

[north turret]

SKS, I have V as my unjam button right now.

[shadow sapphire]

Which sks? Base?

[azure hinge]

also can anyone help with the minimap disappearing? I tried the binds in the mcm, and have it turned on in the settings. sometimes its there, then it just goes away

[north turret]

Yes. I found it, it's the under barrel grenade launcher button

I just had it bound to something else so it confused me

[azure hinge]

nvm i fix

[mortal mist]

Do i enable shader_cumulative_pack

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. It should be enabled by default

[round flame]

"rostok trees during rain weather > weird shines " -> try go to the red forest, all shiny meadows and forests flicker like light bulbs

[heady cradle]

how long does it take for the changes in zcp take effect?

[willow hawk]

More like:

Starting fight : defense injectors
During the fight : blue medkit or stimpacks
Post fight : fentanyl

[willow hawk]

no

keep Shaders Cumulative Pack for GAMMA activated

[mortal mist]

Yup just saw it when larkin said (it should be on)

[uncut blade]

hey guys, what's the default lumscale?

[tall jewel]

Scopes don't zoom in (specifically the PU on the sks) how can i fix this ?

[mental dirge]

Are the important npcs immune to other npcs?

[prime prawn]

is there a way to use the flashlights that are on guns i find ?

[north turret]

yes, they should be
only the player can kill important NPCs, but sometimes things can bug out

[north turret]

no, weapon lights are purely decorational
lasers can be used by holding L (your headlamp button)

[heady cradle]

i don't think you could zoom with that scope

[mental dirge]

however those dudes didnt seem to shoot back, so i guess once the garrison dies is gonna be run over, i ll be dying either from the enemies or the spamfest of magazines being emptied hopelessly on their heads.

how often do reinforcements arrive in bases? i felt bad for my pleb comrades that had to die to angry exo monos.

[prime prawn]

Thanks it had a laser thats cool

[compact coral]

press v

[whole marsh]

Sorry, what was the bot command for the location of the courier (Last Dawn quest)?

[compact coral]

how am i supposed to disguise myself when even when being completely alone in the very beginning of the map after moving from one map to another and changing suits it always says that everybody knows im a free stalker?

and yes, the suit is at 100% and also the helmet

i even left my backpack behind me as a stash and im still getting caught for some reason

[terse hawk]

that shouldnt happen

just move away super far

the "everyone knows you're a stalker" isnt dependent on suit condition, only your range to the nearest stalker

[compact coral]

how more far away do you want me to be when im literally at the point where the map starts when you move from one map to the other

[terse hawk]

is nobody near you at all?

[compact coral]

im literally entering dead city from a sewage pipe

theres not even a soul there

i leave my companion behind

my backpack

everything

and i still get the message that everybody knows im a free stalker

[terse hawk]

like i usually do it successfully after 150 meters

[versed tusk]

I'd say they smelt you, but just because i have no clue and it shouldnt happen

[whole marsh]

Where is the courier for the last dawn mission? I've searched in the area north of the chimera (for night terror quest) but i can't find

[terse hawk]

!scout

[raw raft]

Can't find the scout for the Last Dawn quest?: #╭📖faq message

[mental dirge]

2 freedom dudes from Yanov jumped me to their deaths, and so the quest (last dawn) was failed for me, but said i should meet with sackharov. So they forced my hand out of a main quest?

[north turret]

when looking at weapons should i solely be looking at stats or price as well, as my 35k ak is better than the 95k ruger statwise
and do stats change once i repair a weapon or no

[brisk zinc]

What do you mean with "price"? You can't sell them

[north turret]

i know that
i mean in terms of performance

[brisk zinc]

I don't think price means something for performance

[north turret]

sweet was a bit uncertain

[brisk zinc]

About stats, if they change, you can directly check in the details window when your cursor is on the item

I remember that it does for armors, there's a difference between a 50% and a 100% armor

You can also press L-Ctrl and it will show what's the armor condition at 100%

[north turret]

awesome thank you

[terse hawk]

i remember someone saying the weapons are modified for gamma and the prices were never changed cause ykno its not intended for them to be sold

and thats pretty jarring with something like the spec ops sniper rifle something urbana costs like 150k but the 80k remington outperforms it on every aspect

[pearl schooner]

since the hunter's kit requires a hunting knife, does having the hunter's kit allow you to harvest thick-skinned mutants like the knife does?

[twin crane]

hello , why i can't assume psy helmet?

[meager ferry]

I just have an issue that crashes my game when i try to start a new game, just installed gamma, i think i followed the toturials correctly because the game loads in fine, main menu and every option works its just half way down on the loading screen it crashes out to desktop , can anyone take a few minutes to help me out please?

[terse hawk]

the hunting knife thing doesnt work in gamma you can harvest them anyways but you'll always need a knife

[terse hawk]

you just need it in your inventory dont need to equip it

[twin crane]

but that gives me no psi defense

[pearl schooner]

In my current run, I wasn't able to harvest a chimera until I bought a hunting knife

[terse hawk]

you only use it to travel north, it doesnt actually give you any psy def

[terse hawk]

ah nvm, i think only boars were changed

[north turret]

Is skinning mutants supposed to degrade knife condition?

[versed tusk]

yes

[north turret]

My knife is still on 100% and I've skinned 50 or more

[prime prawn]

Is there a way to stop cars spawning inside each other, every car i come across is totaled with another car in it

[versed tusk]

the starting knife has a known bug and doesnt egrade

[north turret]

Yep that's it then

[worn moat]

If I hit the ballistic resistance cap can I still increase the BR level to block non ap ammo more?

[soft leaf]

it degrades but REALLY slow

[versed tusk]

might be - i remember someone reporting to have used it for a whole playthrough and it was still 100%

at this point, i believe XRay does whatever it wants

[prime prawn]

its gotta be a bug ive harvested so much and its 100 percent still

[soft leaf]

it's not a bug per se

it just has a hilariously high resistance value

[round flame]

which is fine, you can't chop hard-skinned mutants like chimera with it anyway while hunter knife is degrading pretty quickly

[meager ferry]

guys despite 332 active mods my game still crashes to desktop when im trying to start a new game

what happened?

even did a fresh install but still

[north turret]

I want to add some music to the game and play them on the PDA, but what do i have to do about the tracks and their file type. Those in playlist folders are OGG files.

[brisk zinc]

!questions

[raw raft]

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

Your Anomaly folder MUST BE CLEAN. NO JSGME, NO MODS ADDED BY YOU, NOTHING. CLEAN. LITERALLY JUST EXTRACTED CLEAN.

1. G.A.M.M.A. doesn't work with Anomaly 1.5.1 anymore. Have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, type and send !152 in #🤖bot-commands)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type !windows7 or !windows11
3. Do you have Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) installed in your computer? If you do, UNINSTALL IT
4. Where do you keep Anomaly and G.A.M.M.A.? Make sure everything is separated, they both need a singular folder, don't put everything inside ONE folder.
   ^If you're using Desktop/Downloads/Documents/One Drive/Program Files or Programs Files (x86), move everything out of there.
5. How many active mods do you have in your mod list? The default is #📍577-mods-in-mo2
6. Have you enabled or disabled something? Can you see any red crosses (❌) in your mod list?

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

[willow hawk]

you sure ?

[mortal mist]

Whats the mod/how do i get targeting system on my bynoc

It highlights enemies or everything thats alive idk

[north turret]

Not sure if there is such in Gamma

There are certain scopes that see that

Gauss has one

I think some snipers had that upgrade too

[mortal mist]

Like whats the mod then?

[stoic moth]

check in #🖇old-mods-posting someone upload a mod to add targetting back to gause scope

its disabled in gamma

[winter island]

What time is "night" according to moon tiredness decrease perk ?

thank you guys!

[wheat copper]

So, what do i do with my old gear\weapons that im not planning on using if i can't sell them?

[split plume]

any way to turn off the red blinking when you take ANY radiation. its pretty annoying when this happens just because i am at 100 mSv

[north turret]

You can disassemble them for the parts or give them to your companions

[wheat copper]

Nah, i want money, + i dont play with companions, and i already have the gear i wanted so have no need in parts. So i guess it will remain piled up in my stash being useless.

[stable stag]

Ya. That's typically what happens

[wheat copper]

Yea, it sucks

Gotta do a playthrough without this economy nerf at some point, i had to do a duck ton of quests to find that one stash with SEVA, it really becomes more grindy that way.

[willow hawk]

You don’t need a SEVA

play with what you find, not what you want

[wheat copper]

Thats what i did

and in the end, i found a good set of gear

Now i have a whole storage of weapons, armor, masks that is basically useless.

[north turret]

Such is life in the Zone

[wheat copper]

And even SEVA doesn't filter all the rads in the garbage bruh...

[north turret]

Helmet is more important for radiation

[wheat copper]

i have a SEVA helmet as well

i have a complete set

[north turret]

You probably found some radiation patch

[wheat copper]

idk, there is that one spot in garbage that i try to avoid, you go there and instantly gain up to 100 rads.

[willow hawk]

get a better helm bruh

[versed tusk]

some Patches are rng based and can def eff you up without rly good gear

[terse sedge]

yo guys i just fully repaired my first weapon, why is the condition still at 77% am i missing something?

[versed tusk]

parts dont effect condition unlike armor

[wheat copper]

clean it

[terse sedge]

ah it was a bug when i went on cleaning it said 77 but when i went to details again it went up to 100%

ty

[wheat copper]

The only time i "sold" a weapon was at freedom base, i got i quest to find a gold desert eagle, and i had one in bad condition, i only cleaned it without replacing parts and got 17k for it. So technically i illegally sold a weapon))

Will the PMC hunt me an kill me for this tho?)

[radiant stirrup]

just gone though and updated the list of all the rifles and their stats, the pinned one is a little out of date. it seems that now ammo type = fixed damage, very little to no variation in guns damage that share ammo type.

[lime oyster]

Can you remove the blue chest storage once placed?

[sturdy stone]

Press "Take All" again

[lime oyster]

Once its empty?

[sturdy stone]

Yes

[lime oyster]

K, thx

What can i do to fix leg damage? im loosing hp when running

[radiant stirrup]

read your pda 🙂

[limber crane]

Everytime I try and start a new games(after selecting loadout) it crashes. Can someone please help 😦

[radiant stirrup]

!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.

[lilac crest]

You probably have anomaly 1.5.1. happened to me aswell. updated to 1.5.2 and installed gamma again and everything worked

[limber crane]

How do I update anomaly?

[radiant stirrup]

!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 G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[radiant stirrup]

did you find the pda guide?

[lime oyster]

Can you change the zoom on scopes?

[raven sparrow]

on some scopes you can change zoom

[limber crane]

Whats the root of the folder? Is it just the folder I installed anomaly in in the first place?

[raven sparrow]

some are fixed

[lilac crest]

yes 🙂 didnt find the meds i was looking for after looking on med symbols though. Or i found some full body meds. So i think i will manage, if i scrape together 3000 coins xD

[radiant stirrup]

yad is the cheapest med, but docs and sleeping are cheaper if your skint.

[radiant stirrup]

the folder called Anomaly-1.5.1.2 is the root, not outside it

[normal python]

Hey, are there recipes I can find in order to craft the advanced Exo PSUs or do I need to find the actual PSUs?

[brisk zinc]

You need to find the recipe IIRC

Ecologists should sell them at lvl 5

[lime oyster]

Can you hold your breath while using scopes? Cant hit for shit with my dude swinging his gun like a bat.

[shadow sapphire]

Are your arms damaged

[lime oyster]

Might have overexaggerated it a bit. But still, can you hold your breath?

[brisk zinc]

Nope

[lime oyster]

Hmmm... there might be room for improvement with a mod for that ^^

[brisk zinc]

Do it and post it in #🖇old-mods-posting

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, my concern would be running something that technically interrupts an animation with another...

[brisk zinc]

My "concern", it's more a question, is about why you need to hold your breath in the first place

I mean your weapon don't sway

It sway if your arms are damaged

But normally, it doesn't sway

[lime oyster]

Mine swings by about 3 centimeters, talking about the scope

[brisk zinc]

[lime oyster]

I mean yes, my arms are the tiniest bit damaged, but is that enough for swaying?

Ok apparently it is.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, its a sliding scale any damage will start tiny sways, the more damage the worse it gets.

[north turret]

This might be asking a lot, but is there a list of each faction's equivalent suit so I can get an idea of which suits to keep to trade in?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

You can change it IIRC, it MCM settings, there should be a mod for it

Something like "how much damaged your arms have to be before you can see the sway", with a slider

[brisk zinc]

@rare sluice

Not officially, yes, but let's hear it from Dark, I know there's probably a list somewhere but I don't remember where it is

[glad wharf]

Hey guyz where ı can stock 5.45x39 ı am merc and my trader doesnt sell thıs ammo type

And i have another question is there a document for all weapons in gamma?

I am in my mid game and wanted to expand my arsenal but all i found is the same type of weapons in limansk, redforest pripyat etc..

[crude oyster]

bandits are the only good supplier iirc

for mercs

[rain hound]

you can make your own ammo if you have the toolkit and parts

as for weapons ... gotta get lucky

[crude oyster]

and that too, its probably easier to make 5.45 off of the 5.56 youll find off buddies

[glad wharf]

yes but ı am talkıng about stockıng 400 bullets after ı return to my hıdeout ın raıd ı dont have enough resource to craft that amount of stock

So buyıng ıs only optıon for me ammo burns fast

[shadow sapphire]

Any WP Trader: Bandit, Duty, Renegade, Mono, Sin, Loners

[sinful thorn]

Cant seem to find the RF package here. All i see is an empty stash

The beeping is loudest at this fallen tree

Held F along the perimeter and this is as far as i got

[north turret]

How can i disable a mod, like turn it off

[graceful iron]

uncheck it in mo2, but if you run into any issues only report them in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[north turret]

oh i thought my game would crash if i did that

[graceful iron]

some addons or their features can be adjusted in the mcm in game

it can crash depending on which addon

[sinful thorn]

Im not gonna get anymore RF missions am I?

[shadow sapphire]

You will always have packages to find, but until you find that one no. What type of beeps are you getting by the tree?

[sinful thorn]

Loud triple beeps

and thanks for answering :)

[shadow sapphire]

Sorry Ive got a cat trying to take all my attention so I might miss some XD. And the package is gonna be around there somewhere, is the tree hollow?

[supple basalt]

Is it possible to get expert tools from the south areas of the map ?

[sinful thorn]

Fallen with a stash underneath it but empty

[shadow sapphire]

Nope, only RF Radar and further north

[shadow sapphire]

Its not the stash, your looking for an item.

[sinful thorn]

yeah, im stumped

No cant seem to find any holes

[shadow sapphire]

And you looked in the branches and stuff while holding f?

[sinful thorn]

ye ye, basically held F all over the area where the beeps are

[shadow sapphire]

And in any bushes (though I dont see any)

[velvet prairie]

do u need to update to anomaly 1.5.2 to install gamma

?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. Follow #old-how-to

Are you just running the default gamma mods?

[velvet prairie]

alright cause i installed gamma but it keeps crashing whenever i start a new game

[shadow sapphire]

I had that same issue but updating to 1.5.2 fixed it

[sinful thorn]

yeah with the sleep immersive mods disabled

[versed tusk]

that's not vanilla

[shadow sapphire]

For the future you need to use #🔨modded-gamma-support Have you tried save reload?

[sinful thorn]

oh yeah i have sorry about the modlist

[north turret]

How long do you need to sleep to fully replenish the sleep bar from each sleep icon?

[sinful thorn]

Ah well, looks like I wont get to do more of these interesting scavanger hunts

I went out of darkscape and back to check

still nothing

thanks for the help

[north turret]

I swear some of the rf missions are bugged. The first one I found in no time. This time I can't even hear a single beep.

[simple coyote]

So I'm slowly losing health, I'm not irradiated, hungry, thirsty, neither of those. Here's the funny thing... It seems like I lose health mostly when running. (?)

At least my character makes makes the hurting sound.

use first aid and then post heal for legs

[lean meteor]

Do we lose reputation with a faction when accidentally killing companions?

Also, I heard people speaking about Hip as companion. I have no options to speak with her (after giving her the shotgun), is that a bug?

[brisk zinc]

The quest is changed

She doesn't ask for a shotgun anymore

[dapper matrix]

Okay so I replaced my old Anomaly user.ltx file (which had some different numbers for the gloss factor, sorry for that false information) and followed a guide by Cheeki Breeki for better performance for EFP (works for all anomaly stuff) and I am getting better frames, improved quality, and my gpu, which was thermal throttling, is now 10 degrees colder. I think I had my settings optimized based on old news.

Good stuff this

[lean meteor]

Hmm, well, I started the playthrough around a month ago then took a break from PC and now continuing, so perhaps I have some older version since I certainly did give her the gun.

[brisk zinc]

It could be, yes

Try to bring her a can of tuna

[lean meteor]

Sounds funny, gonna try it tomorrow, thank you!

[mint oak]

I have absolutely no rain sounds whatsoever in the game, bug or turned off by default (I know mask/helmet sounds are)? Kinda ruining the atmosphere over here

[rare sluice]

@brisk zinc Can you make this a command? Like !lightarmorlist or !exolightarmorlist?

[brisk zinc]

How about !armor

Or armorlist, yes

I don't know if I can make a message... a command, though

[rare sluice]

I was thinking there might be too much text so split it up into smaller chunks

[brisk zinc]

Okay @rare sluice the message + command doesn't work

I thought about this:

1. I can create multiple commands and for each command I can add a list, as text
2. We can like, create a Pastebin, with a permanent link, if it's possible

[quaint tide]

even after updating and setting my gloss_factor to 10 everything looks shiny (less than before but still a bit off), what other settings can I tweak to influence this?

especially at dawn/dusk and with foggy/wet weather

[terse sun]

@shadow sapphire hey, can you please just check my log for something weird? I crashed 3rd time in a row now in rostok, trying to save with f5

[solid spire]

What worked for me was experimenting with the gloss factor and gloss min values, and finding the one that worked best with my graphics. Also make sure to clear your shaders cache by deleting the folder after you change those settings, because sometimes the change isn't very prominent until you do so

[shadow sapphire]

Follow part 2 of this then retest. That error usually indicates an issue with your user.ltx or axr options. Try this bottom part first

[quaint tide]

I did after updating but I can try deleteing again

[solid spire]

What I meant is that the recommended default, 10 gloss factor and 1 gloss min, didn't work for me at all: but after a lot of experimenting with the values and bringing them down (and sometimes up, near the end) I eventually got it to a much better point. So basically just a lot of trial and error, which sucks, but I personally don't know any other way

[quaint tide]

Damn. What are your values, I can try that and go from there?

[solid spire]

I'm at 0.3 gloss factor and 0.1 gloss min, which is good for me but it might look different on your end

Aight, thanks

[terse sun]

@shadow sapphire there might be some save corruption at play again because my whole BHS is down too

but this time I'm prepared damnit, I've got hard saves and all 😄

[solid spire]

Looks like busy hands to me

[terse sun]

I did reset the user ltx now though, gonna try some of the earlier quicksaves to see if it fixes anything

[terse sun]

no no, my weapon is holstered

or am I missing something?

[solid spire]

Busy hands (afaik btw) is a bug that can apply to a bunch of things, one being corrupting your UI like that

I had the same issue a few days ago and had to pull a few saves until the UI was ok again

[terse sun]

ah I see

yeah one save before this one it works ok

[shadow sapphire]

@solid spire oof called it. The crash was the user file, but that was indeed a small bout of the busyhands. I would make a hard save that is good and backup a copy of it

[solid spire]

I have a personal gripe with busy hands that I just can't explain XD

[terse sun]

how do I know that everything works on a cerain save though :/

So the last save my BHS is down

save before the BHS is ok but the weapon running animation is screwed (it "runs weird" with the gun, not sideways but diagonal position, if you know what I mean), and the save before that one, the weapon running and BHS is ok

but I'm not sure if this save is "the one"

[terse hawk]

i had BHS 3 times now that i just restarted the game to fix, because it wasnt occuring from start of the save

it was sorta rng whether or not doing something after those saves made you get BHS

[terse sun]

it's bizarre that a save can actually "imprint" the game bugs

isn't it? 😛

[terse hawk]

yeah i still get them but i just load an older save

[shadow sapphire]

The save where e erything is normal is what you want.

[terse hawk]

but besides that everything is alright

[shadow sapphire]

It can actually hard lock all saves if it's bad enough. The bug is a menace.

[terse sun]

damn, so backup is actually really necessary

[shadow sapphire]

I highly recommend that your final save of each session is a "hardsave" ie hit escape click save game and name it something. This usually helps keep progress. Do not rely on quicksaves only

[solid spire]

If I ever get it, I like to load into a safe save and then just call it "busy hands" as my backup. But also after my first encounter with the bug I've been hard saving A LOT more

[terse sun]

yeah I started doing hard saves but didn't know the "virus" can actually spread just like that lmao

made a backup right now

[solid spire]

Yeah a hard save after your session is really nice, it also (I find) helps you generally keep track of how many times you've played

[terse sun]

I made a triple hard save when I got expert tools hehe

[solid spire]

Which is nice if you're ever looking at your progress and wondering if you're behind or ahead where you "should be"

[terse sun]

yeah thanks for the idea, I'll try doing it like that from now on

[shadow sapphire]

Busy hands is a weird weird thing. Maybe one day it will end up on my kill list. But for now I gotta wait for my two current projects to be released

[terse sun]

may god hear your noble intentions

[dim shale]

So I may have fucked something and have no idea how to fix it lol.
Moved my Anomaly and GAMMA folders from my C drive to another drive (just need to stop having games that I mod a lot on my C drive tbh).
Kind of reinstalled anomaly and did another full install of GAMMA after moving it. However now MO2 only recognises the original C drive location as the launch location and even remade the folder that I deleted back on my C drive.

TLDR How do I redirect the launch thingies to the new folder location as well as
How do I make MO2 forget the old location

[hollow moon]

hey gang when i do the install addons only and clear shader cache does it reset my in game settings?

i need to back them up correct??

sorry wrong channel

[stoic moth]

anyone know which glocks drop on gamma?

[terse hawk]

there are about like 4 i only know the glock 17 gen 4 and glock 19

[terse hawk]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

None of the upgrade kit ones -_-

[shadow sapphire]

!move

[raw raft]

KEEP IN MIND AND REMEMBER THAT USING THE FOLLOWING FOLDERS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ANOMALY AND GAMMA, DON'T USE THEM.
Desktop, Downloads, Documents One Drive, Documents, Program Files/Program Files x86
DON'T. USE. THEM. DON'T.

Moving G.A.M.M.A.:

1. Open your GAMMA folder and ONLY delete the mods folder you'll find inside.Leave the rest untouched, you don't need to delete anything else
2. Move your GAMMA folder to the new location
3. Run the installer as admin, click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data and then on Full G.A.M.M.A. installation.

Moving Anomaly:

1. Move the folder to the new location
2. Open MO2
3. Click on the green and blue gears icon to manually edit the new .exe paths of your Anomaly folder

[shadow sapphire]

Very last step

[sly moss]

im randomly losing health with no indication of what's causing it

do artifacts that decrease bleeding control do that?

[solid spire]

Any damage to your limbs?

[sly moss]

nope

well when i take the random damage i take damage to them, then i fully heal them but then it'll happen again

[terse sun]

rads?

limbs can also do damage, legs for example, if you sprint while legs are badly damaged

[solid spire]

Yeah, sounds like radiation, is your character coughing?

[sly moss]

nope, no coughing, and like i said i fully heal my limbs

my rad bar is empty

plus i have a huge amount of radiation resistance from my armor

[solid spire]

Hm.. is this happening in every area you go to?

After you switch zones, do you still take damage, I mean

[sly moss]

so far yeah, i was in limansk when i noticed it now im in jupiter

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure you're healing properly?

[sly moss]

everything is white

no status symbols / bleed effect or anything else

[solid spire]

By everything is white you mean you're permanently healing your limbs and not just temporarily right?

[sly moss]

yes

first aid > bandage > fentanyl

but then it just slowly ticks red

[wheat copper]

Does console log say anything when u take damage?

Maybe ur bleeding got bugged

[sly moss]

ok well it seems to have stopped for now

if it happens again i'll check the console

[dim shale]

Are you healing your torso?

Cos this is a thing I had a while back and was confused for ages until I realised that torso ticking down from first aid actually just straight up hurts the rest of your body.

[solid spire]

Can you find expert tools in any stash anywhere or is it after a specific point on the map?

[heady cradle]

any marked stashes at the north area

[solid spire]

How far north?

[heady cradle]

red forest above

[sturdy stone]

RF, radar, Pripyat

And outskirts

[solid spire]

Does Limansk count?

Ah wait if red forest does than it probably does also

[exotic hemlock]

Anyone know how to change the signal/frequency on the rf receiver? I looked at the keybinds and either i missed or was looking in the wrong place

I've had some anonymous guy talking about loot in darkscape for hours

[sturdy stone]

afaik it does not, but that might've changed since it got included in the psybarrier a few patches ago? Not sure currently sorry

[sturdy stone]

left/right click with an empty hand

[exotic hemlock]

Ah. Thanks

[dense ridge]

Good evening. My companions look like this:

Can I fix this? This happened after I traveled

[brisk zinc]

I don't think so
Expert is only in Red Forest and above

[brisk zinc]

You mean the icon?

No you probably mean the distance

[dense ridge]

my companions are also missing

[brisk zinc]

Go back in that map

Make sure they're following you

The icon is normal

It's a mod that will be updated sooner or later

For now it's like that for everyone

[dense ridge]

Okay. Well I travelled north. Can I do some quests then travel back to get them? Or will I lose them?

[brisk zinc]

You probably won't lose them

Just remember where they are

[dense ridge]

I left them in clear sky base; okay

[brisk zinc]

Perfect, they shouldn't move

If you travel there should a possibility that they will spawn next to you

If they don't, go back there and take them with you

Make sure they can follow you, as in, make sure you didn't told them to don't move

[dense ridge]

understood

[inland dragon]

Is there a way to get the Clear Sky squads to hurry the fuck up when your doing the Clear Sky Quests?

[brisk zinc]

No

Follow them

[solid spire]

How forgiving are friendly factions if you happen to headshot someone from them with a stray bullet?

[shadow sapphire]

Mostly. Their "friends" might jump you but most of the faction is chill with you. If it's too bad pay off the faction via barkeep or similar

[solid spire]

I've definitely asked before about how it was handled in quests but I'm not sure if that differs from just random people

[shadow sapphire]

Quests have a limit to how far your good will can drop random kills you do enough and they will go to war eventually

[dense ridge]

Is this a flashlight on the right side of my ak74u? How do I use it

[solid spire]

Afaik flashlights on guns are purely cosmetic

[normal python]

Is SP-5/SP-6 the best ammo in the small rifle category?

Seems a straight upgrade over 7.69x39

Cuz I got this sick looking ISG VSS

[heady cradle]

does anybody know how long before the changes in zcp can take effect?

[stoic moth]

the next respawn i believe

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

You can't, cosmetic

[kindred widget]

so, what part of poltergeit to shoot to kill them?

[north turret]

Enable enemy hp

Geists can be tricky

I aim for the middle

Do it with a shotgun

Has a nice spread

[sturdy stone]

Grenades

[north turret]

Supposedly the hitbox is actually just very slightly above the middle. At least that was the case in vanilla stalker.

I have the best luck with buckshot

And from close range

Yeah, be stealthy and let it come to you. Much harder to kill it while getting shit thrown at you.

[pallid lotus]

Could NPCs steal the package that is being tracked by a rf receiver? I was told that there is a package in darkscape but the receiver wont pick anything up (yes i set it to the correct frequency)

[shadow sapphire]

No they do not. You need to be within about 200-300m to get the beep

[pallid lotus]

huh thats odd

been running around for 20 min now 💀

[north turret]

Yeah I currently have one in the Great Swamps that I've yet to get a single beep on after 30 or more minutes of walking. I just gave up on it

[shadow sapphire]

It should tell you which quadrant it is

[pallid lotus]

yeah mines in the south west of darkscape

looked at every single pebble there and not one beep :(

[shadow sapphire]

So southwest is going to be everything from cordon entrance to the road leading North basically half the map

Literally it's the worst spot to get

[north turret]

I know that's the worst part. It said northeast swamps. Walked all around the machine yard and beyond. No beeps

[shadow sapphire]

Did you check by the train or down by the village anomaly

[abstract lion]

Whats the key to increase scope zoom? all my long range scopes are 1x

[solid spire]

V?

[shadow sapphire]

@north turret @pallid lotus not being condescending but it took me a bit to get this. I made you a map corpse ignore the markings because it's from clear sky. But basically too right box I put a star on the area I find them the most

[shadow sapphire]

Scroll wheel up to zoom out down to zoom in

[abstract lion]

this worked

[shadow sapphire]

I would hope I know keybinds lol

[pallid lotus]

ah nice thanks

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah its especially weird for ds as its not a quadrant of the playable area but literally the entire map

I'll do one for ds real quick because it's the weirdest one

Excuse the shitty lines I'm doing this on my phone XD

[north turret]

To be fair the area with the star is probably the place I've searched the least. I'll check it out the next time I'm in the area.

[shadow sapphire]

@pallid lotus the only I've seen in southwest was on the road by all the messed up vehicles and against the south wall right before it curves south

[shadow sapphire]

Save the map because it's hard sometimes to remember it could be on that middle island and it's still north east XD

[north turret]

For RF packages always use a Lamp arti

[winged ether]

how can you get artifact smelters as Bandits/Renegades?

[regal lintel]

could you remind me again why the AI is so inattentive in Gamma?

[terse hawk]

disguises you need a pristine suit

[faint peak]

i accidentally aggroed a single stalker from the rookie village, came to the southern outpost (am military), and now hip is there massacring everyone, is there anything i can do to prevent that?

[quaint iris]

Man is anyone of you satisfied with your ai's behavior? if so, did you adjust anything to make them less re4tarded? :S

[north turret]

Jus t kill her?

[faint peak]

i thought she is immortal, thx

[north turret]

Try her

[meager ferry]

Can i somehow manually create a shortcut for GAMMA on my desktop guys?

[solid spire]

Yes

In mod organizer

Top right

Believe it is beside play button? In bed so I can’t look

Could be an arrow

[meager ferry]

Ah okay i see i see

I wasnt sure what that would be

[solid spire]

All good

[meager ferry]

Thank you dude

[untold bane]

Man, just managed to crawl to Dark Valley with my renegade character finally and getting absolutely swarmed by boars and zombies, spending almost all of my money on just medical supplies and ammo

I did tweak zombie spawns in ZCP because I didn't like the idea of having no zombies in the zone, but maybe I should have kept them disabled, I don't know if psi-storms and emissions still generate zombies

I don't think I tweaked boar spawns though, are they supposed to spawn like every hour

and there's artifacts just laying on the ground all over the place after an emission, not just next to anomalies

[north turret]

I've never played as Renegades, do they have any traders/quest givers?

[untold bane]

except the really good ones are busted and give me intense radiation poisoning as soon as I pick them up

nah, your only hope for vendors and quest-givers early game seems to be the bandit base in Dark Valley, but you have to get there first

or spawn there, but I kinda like the dangerous hike from the swamps

[young plinth]

Anyone know how to spawn Scar through debug?

[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

[exotic hemlock]

Is a master sergeant "Kitsenko" an improtant character? his corpse has been in the same spot for several ingame days

He got murked by some dogs in rostok and his body hasnt despawned like any other duty member that dies here

[young plinth]

But what's the logic line for specifically Scar?

[raven sparrow]

@exotic hemlock I dont thjink so, that just happens sometimes with corpses

[young plinth]

What's Scar's name in the files though

And if nobody knows, where would I be able to find it

[shadow sapphire]

That one I don't know and I'm not at pc. Check the dltx minimodpack

[young plinth]

!scar

[raw raft]

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.

[exotic hemlock]

Any reccomendations on where to build my base? Im in rostok at the moment and would like to move a bit more north

I was thinking somewhere in jupiter or maybe even red forest

I want to be kinda in the middle of everything so its not a very long run between locations and my base, incase i find some heavy goodies

[exotic hemlock]

also thanks, i suppose he'll just have a permenant grave on the floor outside of the checkpoint

Maybe i can drag him somewhere nicer lol

[north turret]

Yeah I'm trying to find a good place to make a base too. There's not really enough cozy places that aren't mutant dens

[exotic hemlock]

Right! There are some nice spots I've been in but Thier all to southern

Maybe I'll just go hang out with freedom and use them as a protective barrier

[mortal mist]

can anyone help me find a mod that adds targeting to bynoc??

[versed tusk]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[split plume]

does the "turn on if stutter" mod make any drastic visual changes to the game?

[versed tusk]

no

it's 100% about ALife calculations

[dreamy plaza]

I can't seem to recruit hip after handed her the gun. I have 6 snork hands but she doesn't speak to me.

[split plume]

will this decrease like offline battles and make more actual enemy squads show up or should there be nothing like that noticeable?

[versed tusk]

it changes how far, how many and how fast NPCs around you get activated

i dont know if it even touches offline calculations

[dreamy plaza]

is the snork hands quest from hip bugged? I don't even have it on pda.

[heady cradle]

it doesn't appear on the pda, you also need 8 snork hands not 6

[split plume]

does anyone have any experience moving their game to SSD from HDD? Any noticeable loading times improvement?

[versed tusk]

ofc it will load faster, that's just the nature of the beast

[north turret]

For me loading times were significantly faster. Initial loadup takes like half the time, and moving maps takes around 10 seconds now.

[split plume]

damn definitely doing it then

[dreamy plaza]

Thank you

[north turret]

What does Hip quest require now? Heard the first part doesn't require a shotgun

Toz-194 shotgun with 20 shells (the pump action one bandits usually carry) and 8 snork hands

[radiant stirrup]

I was thinking about this last night. I think meadow might be the best. Hear me out: it's tiny = less lag, fairly central though admittedly low amount on entrances, loners live there, but there are lots of empty houses for grabs. Anyone set up a base in meadow?

anyone knows how to fix the blur when it zooms in to the character?

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[mystic finch]

Who are you addressing?

[versed tusk]

quite frankly, both of you
it's questions that will change Vanilla to custom.

[umbral canopy]

i read somewhere here in the channel that you can cancel the reload animation of shotguns, (pressing left click) for example when you want to only load one or two shells. I am using a Mossberg 590A1 that can load 8 shells. Using the left click sometimes works and other times fires one shot in the middle of the animation. Pretty inconsistent. Im missing something?

[versed tusk]

i would not know - i have the same issue sometimes. usually it cancels perfectly, sometimes i blast someone in the face accidentally

I'd assume it's a timing thing on when you click to cancel

as in, it buffers your input and counts it as "fire"

[split plume]

is there a way to recharge artifacts efficiency %

[versed tusk]

with the artefact melter - read the part about artefacts in #│📚manual

[gaunt vault]

Hey I did Hips job and gave sid the artefacts and it sounded like there would be another job to go north or something. Im not seeing any options to talk to hip or barkeep about whatever it was. I gave Hip a good gun and really want it back can I make her my companion again or just kill?

[compact coral]

yep she should have told you about giving her snork fingers

also, why kill her when any other weapon in the zone is far better than a toz lol

[gaunt vault]

Already did the shotgun then snork then artefact jobs. she leave after you give the artefacts she needs to sid and paying her. not sure if theres another after or im done her questline

[compact coral]

she also clearly tells you that you have to GIVE her the weapon so you could have just kept it til it wasnt useful for you anymore

[compact coral]

yea i guess youre done with the questline

i havent gotten that far yet i thought ur problem was giving her the toz

[split plume]

when using gear that protects against radiation, i assume it loses condition% while it is actively protecting you against radiation?

[compact coral]

you can also check her inventory if you talk to her

snag the weapon from her hands and thats it

[compact coral]

no

armor only loses condition if you get hit

be it monsters or anomalies

[storm whale]

Hi! I've installed gamma recently and I have a question. Is there anyway to hide the ammo count on the bottom left corner? Thanks!

[compact coral]

open the console and type hud_info off

[storm whale]

Thanks! Will it hide also the body health system?

[compact coral]

idk, perhaps

it has never bothered me tbh

[astral condor]

Nope

You hide the health system independently, with H

[compact coral]

oh nice

didnt know that

i mean the fact that it doesnt mess with the health system not that you can show/hide the health system with h lol

[astral condor]

Yee lol

Was pleasantly surprised as well

[split plume]

do you use the ammo check mod? in that one's mcm settings you can toggle it off

[storm whale]

Nope, although I think that's is something that isn't on vanilla

I'm gonna get it tho

[snow pecan]

that was ammo counter in the bottom left corner?

[versed tusk]

ammo check is for alongside MAGs, i mean it surely works without it, but mags hides the ammo counter by default so it kinda needed

[compact coral]

one thing that i would like to see in the future is an animated version of the ammo check

you pull out the mag, inspect it and get the message of how much ammo you have on it

if i knew anything about stalker modding id do it myself

[inland cedar]

guys i want to increase the tree view distance how do i do it ?

cuz trees from far away they are not rendered correcty

TL;DR requires you to animate every weapon model separately.

Can someone, for the love of Zone, tell me where is the RF package which is described as "west of Garbage" and it seems to beep the most around north part of railway building? I spent way, way, waaaay too much time looking for it.

[compact coral]

just get yourself a lamp artifact and start hunting packets

the glow is fairly strong and even in clear day you will see the packet with ease

before that the update rate of the beep is too slow to find packets but can be done, it just takes too much time

i am getting a weird bug where the interior locations no longer protect me from bolwouts or psistorms, anybody encounter that?

[radiant stirrup]

all of them, or just one spot?

[drifting stag]

so far 2 of them

[north turret]

For blowouts, unless you see "stay sheltered" you look for a building

[drifting stag]

i died in the basement of jupiter train station

[radiant stirrup]

hmm, might just be unlucky with those spots?

hmm that really should be a safe spot

[drifting stag]

and in the tiny room in radar

yeah, i tried traveling and reloading

still the same

[radiant stirrup]

and your game is vanilla?
!gammavanilla

[drifting stag]

i am at 334 mods, turned some optional on

[radiant stirrup]

!gammavanilla

[raw raft]

What Vanilla means for GAMMA:
Vanilla GAMMA is considered to be the GAMMA modpack as it comes. This means you have #📍577-mods-in-mo2 and have not enabled or disabled any of those, have not enabled any animations in MCM, and have not added any mods of your own.

[radiant stirrup]

I can't say its because of those mods you enabled or disabled but the question should be in#🔨modded-gamma-support

[drifting stag]

okay, thanks

[inland cedar]

guys can i change the difficulty of the game while in game ? i want to make the game HARD ? if yes how can i do that

[graceful iron]

in the settings > gameplay

[inland cedar]

yes and ?

i can't find where it says hard , easy or normale

and how can i turn on fps overlay , icon , to show me fps while playing

[brisk zinc]

Press Home and Reshade will pop up, go in Settings, scroll down and you'll find FPS
Or use an external program

[inland cedar]

home ? where is home ? what is home ? sorry man am not english so if you can give me a easier explanation please ❤️ so sorry admin

[brisk zinc]

Where are you from? I'm curious now

Press the Home button on your keyboard, it should be called Home

[inland cedar]

algeria ( africa )

[inland cedar]

esc ? top left of my keyboard ?

[brisk zinc]

Take a picture of your keyboard at this point

[graceful iron]

the presets are only on the starting loadouts, you will have to tweak the difficulty manually or start a new save.
i am not sure but i think you can also use console by pressing ` or ~ to change it in-game

[nimble oxide]

im sure i have read it somewhere already, but cant find it again: if i load a vanilla anomaly savegame, how broken will stuff be or will it work fine?

[inland cedar]

⬆️

[brisk zinc]

I need to see the other part of the keyboard

[inland cedar]

hhhhh okey ⬆️

[brisk zinc]

Try one of these

It should be this one

[inland cedar]

okey i try wait

[nimble oxide]

should be this one

[graceful iron]

its recommended that you start a new save with gamma but no one actually tested if it would work as far as i know

[inland cedar]

How to see what dificulty is my game currently on ?

[nimble oxide]

but all that time spent farming rep and i would have to do the scary labs again 🥺

[graceful iron]

you cant expect to bring a vanilla anomaly save into a pack with 300+ addons without any issues

you can edit the difficulty settings to get higher goodwill rewards and money

labs are supposed to be scary... the game is a survival open world with horror elements

[nimble oxide]

no worries, i allready expected this answer

just have to decide if i rather finish anomaly first, or start a gamma playthrough now

[inland cedar]

guys how can i see what dificulty is my game currently on ? like how can i see if it is easy or hard or normale ?

guys having 70/80 fps in cordon is it good ? or i need higher fps ?

[dense ridge]

should be higher. I get that with my Radeon 9700XT

[inland cedar]

i havegtx 750

soo .....

[brisk zinc]

It's good

[inland cedar]

falco can you help me with that

guys how can i see what dificulty is my game currently on ? like how can i see if it is easy or hard or normale ?

[brisk zinc]

My dude I can read, if I don't answer it's because I don't have an answer

From what I remember you can't check the difficulty when you start the game

[inland cedar]

😢

idk i remember putting the game at hard , but i feel that bandit are too easy , like sometimes they just aim at me without shooting -_-

like what ????

[astral condor]

You can set difficulty and progression difficulty from settings. Gameplay settings I think? I don't really remember lol I'm sorry.

But yeah if you want to change it or make sure, just choose a preset or customize it. To choose a preset, you'll find a bar at the top with an arrow, click the arrow and it'll show you available difficulties respective to the aspect you're changing

With aspect I mean either gameplay difficulty or progression difficulty

[compact coral]

dont forget to check the hardcore ai aim

it will make the game far harder

[astral condor]

Lol

[graceful iron]

i thought there was something for presets in the settings but i wasnt sure

[astral condor]

Yee

There is, just like graphics

[graceful iron]

havent checked that tab of the settings in a while

[astral condor]

Lol based

[compact coral]

anybody knows how to restore the default font in the game? i already unchecked the modern ui font in the mod list but im still getting that ugly font

[solid spire]

I believe a font comes with the modern ui mod, and the seperate mod for that font is for keeping the font even after disabling modern ui

[subtle moon]

so i have extremely good power armor and power armor helmet (rip the legendary Duty stalker i murdered for it), the strongest weapons i could find and enough artifacts to more or less max out all resistances, are there any goals left to strive towards that i dont know about or have i basically beaten it?

[solid spire]

besides the main storylines? you could look at the achievements and see how many you could complete within your playthrough. Some are locked specifically to things like ironman mode, but most should be completable

[subtle moon]

i could maybe do some achivements already did the storylines, i gotta say god damn what a fantastic mod, 2 weeks straight of playing it almost every waking hour and i loved every second of it. no way the next stalker game is as good as this

[north turret]

Try invictus.

[subtle moon]

ill check it out :D

[compact birch]

woof, have to really have your game together with a killer rig. there were parts i was completely screwed cause of FPS drop and had to run, throw in a few bugs, that would just be frustation

i mean hell i zoned into pripyat the first time and had 3 chimera chasing me in the stairwell and a controller locking out my weapons

[compact coral]

disable the ss shaders

big fps killer if you have a shitty pc like mine kek

[radiant stirrup]

the reshade ones or something else?

[soft cloak]

do people actually beat this game without dying??

#📢announcements message

[regal lintel]

What's causing the ground to be too shiny and bright?

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder, open version.txt and write the number you can see.

[compact birch]

yeah when there isn't a lot going on im at a constant 50-60fps 1440p, more than playable, it's the parts where the entities are loading up it gets into slide show territory.

[soft cloak]

insane

[regal lintel]

630

[shadow sapphire]

Yup. Hes not the only, just most recent XD. Hes working on melee only right now

[shadow sapphire]

Follow the bottom part of this:

!default

[raw raft]

Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the installer with admin rights
2. Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

Keybinds
To bring your keybinds to default, DON'T press the default button in the menu, you'll mess up everything.
Instead, do this:

1. Go in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata
2. Copy the user.ltx file you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in your user.ltxwill be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[compact coral]

check #old-framerate-optimisation and youll know what im talking about, and yes reshade also kills your fps, i disabled some of the effects and got like 10fps back

[nova sparrow]

First time posting in here, so I'm unsure if this is okay, but can I ask a very minor spoiler related question for one of the early Loner quests in here?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah

[shadow sapphire]

If its super spoiler just use /spoiler

[nova sparrow]

||In the Swamp, the Eco's give you a quest to explore 3 anomaly zones and get an artifact from each. I noticed that in 2 of them, the artifact spawned in anomalies, is this normal?||

[graceful iron]

apparently yes. you can use bolts to get through them or shoot the artefacts to move them

[nova sparrow]

Good to know, thank you!

[tribal plover]

Is there a way to remove artifact 99% condition cap? I have really fkin OCD vibes each time i cap at 99%

🥴

[split plume]

is it worth updating the modpack or is there always a risk of shit breaking

aka should i just leave it if i wanna continue playing

[stable stag]

Condition of artifacts get randomized at 100%, right? So not a good idea

[willow hawk]

No

And it doesn’t matter

[tribal plover]

I does matter, there ~1-2% drop for most arts :|

[tribal plover]

Aha. That's why no 100% cap. Got it.

[willow hawk]

Which is nothing stat wise

[tribal plover]

OCD tho

[brisk zinc]

IIRC apart the "No" from Grok, it's something that bring problems

So he really can't bring artifacts to 100%

I have OCD as well for that but heh

Stat wise it doesn't change anything really

[tribal plover]

I mean, i can understand that's the whole system build around it. Aside from OCD nothing really hurts, i guess.

[radiant stirrup]

man, why do these doors have to be blocked off. you can't even delete them!

[willow hawk]

I know right

Start editing maps

[radiant stirrup]

Is anom map editing difficult? I have a decent amount of experience with 3d software.
There really are a few things i'd love to fix, like the wonky staircases that make your character jump up each step and stuff

[willow hawk]

It’s hell

For the stairs, it’s a player hit box thing

It’s a simple ltx to edit

[radiant stirrup]

oh? so the jumpiness can be fixed by editing the hitbox?

[warped ginkgo]

doesnt anomaly map edit in sdk require the rawdata? or smt like that, which isn't available anywhere

[inland cedar]

how do i enable mini map ?

nvm i know

how to do it

x)

[willow hawk]

wait for next update

[willow hawk]

yes

[sly swan]

Trying to exchange a Deserter's b5-m armoured suit (bandit) to sidorovich for 10k but after taking the dialogue option nothing happens.anything i overlooked?

[radiant stirrup]

haha your guy weeps if hes at low enough hp for a while

[simple pivot]

Question for the latest update: does the duplicated light sources for existing saves impact anything vital? Just wanted to make sure before updating so I dont bork anything

[shadow sapphire]

It just means some areas will be super bright

[simple pivot]

Got it, ty! And do i need to delete shader cache for new reshades?

[shadow sapphire]

I dont think so. But if it looks odd, that would be the first thing I would do

[simple pivot]

Perf good to know, thanks

[shrewd blaze]

is there any saving a weapon thats reached 0% durability?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, but you would need to replace every single part in it

[shrewd blaze]

ive got every component in it >94%

[north turret]

get a weapon cleaning kit, clean the parts via right click > maintain parts
it restores the part and does a bit of general cleaning as well
then do actual cleaning with the kit normally, use support items like kerosene for extra efficiency

[shrewd blaze]

ohh!! nice yep, thanks guys

[steady cave]

Is it normal that the sky looks pixelated like this?

[astral condor]

It's jpeg artifacting from skies redux

[split plume]

Couple of questions on giving weapons to companions:

1. to give them weapons do I use [Issue Command] -> "i want to manage your items" or "carry my loot"?
2. if i give the companion a weapon, can i take it back later?
3. does the weapon i give them lose condition or do their parts lose condition as if I would be using it?

[astral condor]

well that's also present in vanilla anomaly skies

[red lark]

is it still 332 active mods? I have 333 after latest full update

[north turret]

1. use the command wheel (press C while looking at the companion while close) and the backpack to be sure
   pretty sure "carry my loot" dumps most of your stuff into your companion's inventory, kinda like using the emergency backpack release
2. yes, only things you can't take are the default weapons that companion spawned with and picked up before recruiting (unless you enable the companion inventory unlock mod)
3. I think people have said yes, not sure about parts, I need to check that on my own end

[shadow sapphire]

333

[split plume]

thanks

[willow hawk]

Yes full install should do it though

[inner ivy]

Does "npc can't see through foliage" work?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[umbral canopy]

hello! i failed a lost signal quest. the truck cemetery one. The loner who give me the mission died. Are they important? the mission respawn or something?

[inner ivy]

What counts as a safe place to sleep?

[stuck fern]

Are bounty squads completely removed after the latest update, or does the behavior go back how they work in regular Anomaly without mod 44? Was going to start a new game and I enjoy having them hunting me down.

[north turret]

that is a generic quest that is offered every now and then, and I think you can have only one of them active
the location and frequency is randomly selected
failing one won't punish you much at all, you'll be fine

[north turret]

any place that protects you from an emission
sturdy buildings are a good bet

[umbral canopy]

thank you!! i will get sooner or later the same truck cemetery signal location?

[north turret]

probably not the same one; you might get another one in Truck Cemetery, sure
but the corpse spawns are random and the stuff they have (other than the PDA) is also randomized
so, yes but also no

[umbral canopy]

ah ok, i understand now! not a big deal. Thank you for the info!

[mortal mist]

what is the free loot system?

[north turret]

random items being spread around in the overworld
things like smokes, food, drink, and parts
as an example, the tables in Cordon's Farm near Xenotech have free loot on them

[mortal mist]

oh ok and can i make my settings not reset after i update cuz that pisses me off

[north turret]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[split plume]

how do you get to great swamp from the path south of the rookie village? there is just a fence blocking the way

[drifting stag]

i have a question, do big scopes have a toggle magnification button or option somewhere? ive looked through the key bindings and outside a button that takes the scope on or off there isn`t any

[north turret]

you need to go east, towards the road
stay far away from the military checkpoint, you'll be fine (unless a random patrol catches you)

[north turret]

some scopes let you adjust zoom via scroll wheel
and if your weapon or optic has a secondary sight, you can swap via pressing V

[split plume]

east and what? loop around the entire checkpoint or?

[north turret]

follow the fence
it ends a bit before the fallen tree, and you can head to the Rookie Village from there

[drifting stag]

you sir, are a lifesaver, thank you

[mortal mist]

Concerning mods settings, you simply need to rename a mod called "G.A.M.M.A. MCM values - Rename to keep your personal changes" that you can find in your mod list.
REMOVE the "- Rename to keep your personal changes" part from the name of the mod, to turn it into "G.A.M.M.A. MCM values". Simple as that. i dont understand this pretty dumb

[versed tusk]

rename the mod

[mortal mist]

like u rename then u will have 2 of those and enable the custom and disable the full?

[versed tusk]

everytime you update it will place a new one with the old original name

[mortal mist]

but there will be my custom?

[versed tusk]

you delete that one and keep the renamed one

in the place it should be

or at the end, i use a custom profile

dont even remember

[mortal mist]

and for vanilla settings i just save the one i have rn and when i update i put it in and replace?

[north turret]

Do any changes in the update change any user.ltx values I'd rather not replace it if I don't have to.

[mortal mist]

it reset's it

[versed tusk]

just keep your user ltx copied and put it back after an update

[north turret]

I know how to keep my old one, I was just wondering if new update has new values that mine wouldn't.

[split plume]

nevermind i found it, its a tunnel a little further south

[versed tusk]

user ltx is literally just keybinds and graphic settings - what you mean is MCM

[north turret]

oh, I misread and thought wanted to get from the Swamps to Rookie Village
glad you found it

Not really there's tons of shader Params, gloss values, bloom values, etc

Like 30 sun values

[versed tusk]

i.e. graphics

[shadow sapphire]

Guys if you didnt see it, I made a mistake, please make sure to do Update GAMMA Data -> Only install Gamma addons if on version 631 of the mod pack.

[north turret]

So does the update change any of these values or not? Only a very small position of the values is in the graphics menu

[shadow sapphire]

Which values?

[north turret]

All the user.ltx values like shader Params, bloom, sun lumscale, etc

[shadow sapphire]

Oh let me take a look. At a minimum it changes gloss_factor and gloss_min probably. Hang on

[north turret]

I'd also like to know that, since I got most of my settings to a level I like
if there's more gloss value tuning that needs to be done I'm down to do that manually

instead of resetting the entire user.ltx

If it's just gloss Its cool.

[supple basalt]

Weird thing happens now when i accept a mission to deliver package

the mission fails straight away and i don't get a package and lose a ton of rep

[willow hawk]

Gloss min and gloss factor are ignored by the new shaders

No more issues

[supple basalt]

That's not on the newest version

[willow hawk]

It happens even in vanilla anomaly

Target is already dead

Just don’t take that task

[shadow sapphire]

gloss_factor
gloss_min
msaa

[north turret]

Even better 👍

Thanks Larkin

[supple basalt]

It's difficult not to take it because that's free ammo and med stuff 😄

[split plume]

what is the level cap on the character skills

[supple basalt]

I think it's 15 ?

[willow hawk]

30

Hitting level cap is hard

That way you constantly progress

[wheat copper]

What do i do with docs from labs? I cant give them to factions any more?

[shadow sapphire]

They are for quests

[wheat copper]

Oh, ok. GAMMA added quest i guess?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, not sure. I just know thats the reason they dont get sold anymore, because people were selling them and then getting annoyed later when they needed them XD

[north turret]

pretty sure they were in base Anomaly already
just have no recollection of where to turn them in...

[wheat copper]

Ah. i see. But before you could give them to a faction leader and earn some rep with them.

[willow hawk]

There’s an addon about that in MO2

That’s because military quest need some stuff

[wheat copper]

What if i play loner tho

[willow hawk]

You can military quests with a disguise still

Otherwise just disable the addon

And trade them

[wheat copper]

What if... i join duty then join military, can i even join military?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[wheat copper]

Ok, i'll do that when im reall bored)

[cosmic rover]

who sells ap slugs?

[north turret]

should be in both NATO and Warsaw merchant inventories, at high enough supply level
don't remember how high off the top of my head

[willow hawk]

NATO high supply level

[supple basalt]

On occasion NPCs including companion will stand when being shot at and not respond.
Is that a bug or i've messed my settings somehow ?

[wintry rapids]

Item use animations are still risky?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[nimble garden]

there is any way to hide behind the tall grass in the swamps? The enemy can see me through that.... there anything that I can change to avoid that?

[wintry rapids]

There's a mod called NPCs can't see through foil

It's near the bottom of the list

[nimble garden]

Thank you

[full kayak]

just getting started, after the emission on day 2 my screen is like completely lock into a super-zoomed in mode and didn't go back to normal. is there a way to check/see why the fov got reduced so much?

[shadow sapphire]

Its a rare glitch that can happen. Go to Escape -> Settings -> Visual -> Basic and set FOV to 80

[full kayak]

ahh wierd it was up at like 120

[north turret]

For anyone with Mags, I have a saiga and I'm having a hard time finding mags for it. Am I better off enabling Traders Sell Mags or is there a more common gun that is compatible?

[dull surge]

I'm able to swap faction pathfinder suit or there is no option for it at the moment?

[dull surge]

hunt monolith, they have pretty good chance of having saiga on them

[novel zephyr]

I just installed gamma and got it running, but whenever I go to start a new game the moment it started loading it crashes. any ideas?

[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]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly version 1.5.1

!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 G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[novel zephyr]

ooooooh that explains it thanks

[wheat copper]

Yoooo, the mercs at dead city can see you a mile away at 2AM while you crouching, you can sneek on them anywhere else tho

[split plume]

@shadow sapphire probably account stealing/scam bot

[solid spire]

Yeah, don't trust that

[shadow sapphire]

Why the hell didnt the messages delete

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting. I wonder what causes that.

[wheat copper]

My guess is that they have sniper guards in windows and when one sniper dude sots you the rest just trigger as well, kinda hard to loot stashes tho)

[shadow sapphire]

Ah yeah, if one spots you they can "radio" it.

[shadow sapphire]

Disguise is usually what I do

[wheat copper]

it's the same thing with that one bandit on the bridge in cordon that will snipe you with his makarov from a mile away)

[supple basalt]

Does anybody know if THIS Exo is lootable ?

[shadow sapphire]

Ecog? Yeah they have one

[supple basalt]

I have one brown Ecologist exo

but not white

[regal lintel]

I'm sorry if this might be annoying already, but I've seen the same question about the AI being a bit too unresponsive, but couldn't get any answer, and I just wanted to follow-up.. Is this the new normal behavior of AI now?

[wheat copper]

oh, btw, what addon makes exos sound robo-cop like and can i disable it?

[supple basalt]

It's the same for me . Occassionaly AI will be dumb

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder, open version.txt and write the number you can see.

[shadow sapphire]

I think its exo servo motor sounds, and yes

[wheat copper]

cool, thx

[shadow sapphire]

Which version are you on?

[regal lintel]

So I actually just finished updating, I was chatting while the updates are ongoing so I'm at 632

[shadow sapphire]

I dont rember off the top of my head which suit is the white one, but yes I am 90% sure they should have one

[shadow sapphire]

What version were you on before that?

[regal lintel]

I was at 630 at around 12:38 AM (Philippines) when I asked about the ground being too shiny.. I believe there wasn't a new update then (MAYBE)..

[shadow sapphire]

there wasnt then

[shadow sapphire]

Question, have you been backing up your MCM values?

[regal lintel]

No.. 😦

I just started learning the MCM values thing as I was backreading

[shadow sapphire]

Thats a good thing imo.

When you get in game, I want you to send me a screen shot of your MCM stealth menu

[inner ivy]

Why can't technicians repair armor?

[solid spire]

Balancing

[shadow sapphire]

GAMMA setting, you repair the armor.

[crude oyster]

i just remembered something i wanted to ask about tasks. is the reward for giving someone a weapon tasks (like trapper asks for daily) dependent on the parts condition, or the weapon cleanliness?

[regal lintel]

here's my current stealth setting.. I didn't touch this tho..

The only stuff I touch is Dynamic Tone stuff

[shadow sapphire]

Looks right, I honestly dont have the unreactive AI. Try it out, maybe the updates didnt copy it for you. If you still think its unreactive you can hit the default button on it.

[shadow sapphire]

No, you didnt grok has been balancing stealth, because its not fair to get shot from 200m at night while sneaking

[regal lintel]

Gotcha.. I was just going to check things out now after the update. I'll holler if I notice anything

[shadow sapphire]

Cleanliness I believe

[crude oyster]

fr? thats kinda broken

so you can get full reward for a nice looking gun but secretly shit parts

full used car dealership experience

[shadow sapphire]

Yup. But NPCs have no idea the parts exist lol, its a mod

[crude oyster]

slaps receiver of weapon you can fit so many bullets in this thing, trust me

[wheat copper]

these dudes dont give a f about stealth they'll spot you in outer space. Whenever there's a guard aiming in to the distance that means they have increased vision. Same with that military\bandit dude on the bridge in cordon

[shadow sapphire]

Just in case what are your stealth settings lol

[wheat copper]

Same, not touched

Only these guards will spot you like that

[supple basalt]

So there's a problem with zooming in with scopes. Like with AK12 2016 with leupold/specter kit

If i change weapon mode to 2nd scope and grenade luncher

and then back to main scope

main scope zoom won't work anymore

is there a workaround for that ?

[shadow sapphire]

Known issue. Unattach and reattach scope. It is on #📎to-do

[wheat copper]

Also in wild territory right as you enter, some times there are mercs that have these "sniper guard" traits that will also see you a mile away.

didnt try them at night tho

[regal lintel]

Where was it in the settings can I activate the Teleport Companion function? I forgot

Or is this already active?

[brisk zinc]

It's a mod, you need to enable it

[regal lintel]

Oh ok..

So it's only those couriers that you rescue? Not the ones you've recruited?

[wheat copper]

Just tried the disguise option, looted an exo from a merc, everyone is fine with me, but that one Sergey is like "Naah dude, you a whole loner, i can see it through your mask"

[supple basalt]

Does this actually work as said in description ?

[brisk zinc]

The "immersion bug" is about rescue mission targets, if you're inside the same map as them and you're close to them, they will be teleported to you

[regal lintel]

I see. So the teleport basically excludes anyone I recruit and the safari bois?

[brisk zinc]

No

The teleport works with everyone

It just works™️

[brisk zinc]

But^

[regal lintel]

Cool. Thanks! 😄 But yeah, I'll "Try" not to press it within the Rescue target's location...

One more thing.. do the companions know how to sprint, or the jog is the fastest they could move?

I sometimes try to blitzkrieg an area, only to find myself alone, and my bois are so far behind me to back me up

[brisk zinc]

They can run
If they're behind you, they'll run to stay behind you

I suggest to disable this mod as well

[regal lintel]

Ooh.. nice. I'll try that 🙂 Thank you

[north turret]

Who do I give military documents to as loner? Sid and barkeep don't seem to want them

The ones from agroprom underground

[shadow sapphire]

They are for military quests

[north turret]

So since I'm enemies with military they aren't relevant?

[regal lintel]

I read somewhere up there that you can Disguise yourself to access the quest

I think that'd be the only way... I guess

[north turret]

Ok gotcha

[shadow sapphire]

Basically they used to be able to be sold, but then everyone did and got mad that they needed them. So now they dont get sold XD

[quaint tide]

Do mutants get stronger in the rain? Why do fleshes suddey take a
5-6 hydra 45s?

[shadow sapphire]

Hydra got nerfed XD. Also are you using THE THING?

[quaint tide]

I am using a thing I have, my 1921

1911

[shadow sapphire]

No I meant the mod Momo created lol. Its literally called the thing

If you are 100% Vanilla gamma, its because hydros got nerfed.

also what version are you running

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder, open version.txt and write the number you can see.

[quaint tide]

No idea I have vanilla modpack and yesterday it was fine now lemao, have fun

But I didn't update or anything so IDK

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah which version? Because its possible you are on the broken version of GBO

[quaint tide]

630

[shadow sapphire]

Nah that is the fixed version. So yup the nerf in force.

[quaint tide]

Nice

Well I am screwed then

Time to increase bullet power 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

Lol. Good Luck!

[split plume]

is there a way to charge batteries

[wintry rapids]

Are there ever quests for the perk artifacts?

[south patio]

Is there any way to see how many stalkers are in the zone?

[wintry rapids]

Well check stats and see what posistion you are at

If its near the start you'll be at the bottom

[south patio]

Nah I mean total

Cuz won’t it inevitably just get smaller ?

And I’ll just raise in rank

[brisk zinc]

They respawn

[wintry rapids]

No because more spawn in but yes once you start raising in rank it won't tell you

I like playing with 1 population and it started at like 600 and then a few days later it was like 1500
