[warped sable]

one more. i play on another installation with groks masks. this Pack has the rain droplets bot not the black outsides. i saw pictures on this discord from other players that had them

[terse sun]

hi, I'm missing thirst and hunger icons on the HUD, any idea why?

I don't even have the sleep icon and just had it before I went to sleep, now reloaded to previous save and still missing the icon

[tidal raft]

(Don't send questions in multiple channels.)

[terse sun]

huh, didn't know enter also erases psy bar, works now thanks!

[olive otter]

is there any way to hide the health bar and icons in the bottom left? I already tried to disable the ui through the settings

[solid spire]

You can press a button to hide HUD if you so desire

[olive otter]

Is there a keybind for that? I already checked the keybinds and all the hide ui bind is does the same thing as disabling it through the settings

[solid spire]

Let me check

[olive otter]

unless the mod has a separate keybind for it thats not in the settings

[solid spire]

Hm that's weird!

[brisk zinc]

It should be Enter

[olive otter]

enter doesnt work

[brisk zinc]

The command you used isn't about hiding

It's about disabling the whole mod

[solid spire]

I just checked, num enter only disables psi bar, ammo and companion stuff

Yeah you'd probably have to disable the entire BHS mod

[viscid zephyr]

This might sound dumb but where do I find the screenshots I took?

[solid spire]

Press print screen and it shows you the directory at the top of the screen

[olive otter]

I might just do that. I don't really like the idea of having the tarkov style health in this game anyways

[brisk zinc]

I've literally tried with numpad Enter and my HUD is gone

Skill issue?

[viscid zephyr]

I looked in that folder and it doesn't work

[olive otter]

maybe, i wonder if its because I rebound the key

[brisk zinc]

!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.)

[olive otter]

but it still removes part of the health hud, just not all of it

[solid spire]

this is what my hud looks like after pressing num enter

[brisk zinc]

Is this another moment where I'm told I like to argue because you're doing stupid stuff to which I'll say "no shit"?

[solid spire]

Everything but health system is gone

[viscid zephyr]

Oh my gosh thank you so much

[solid spire]

ALSO I promise that's not tarkov I just use agressor XD

[viscid zephyr]

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-baby-agreed-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-15198044

[brisk zinc]

@solid spire you were there when this happened, right?

[solid spire]

Haha yup

Very interesting though that for some people numpad enter hides the entire hud and for others it only hides part of it

[brisk zinc]

@olive otter

Sorry

It's late for me here

It's not Numpad Enter

It's H

If you want to disable the mod you won't need it

But it's H

@solid spire ^

[solid spire]

Awesome thanks

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-baby-agreed-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-15198044

[solid spire]

:D

Now I can have muh realism

[brisk zinc]

Not realism

Immersion

[solid spire]

I am not smart enough to know the difference

its tarkov all over again

[olive otter]

looks like you took some painkillers

the sharpness is through the roof

[solid spire]

dont worry about it

It's time, to kick some monolith ass

Lol sorry this is questions chat, I'm just very happy with the no hud thing :D

[tidal raft]

You're not alone, unfortunately.

[viscid zephyr]

If I'm not sure something is a bug do I post it here or in the bugs chat?

[tidal raft]

Post directly in #old-bugs and it'll be decided there.

[viscid zephyr]

Thank you!

[winged ether]

It seems like getting the achievements that are meant to unlock new factions don't actually unlock them. Is that correct?

[crisp lake]

Can I not turn story mode off as unisg?

[olive haven]

Is having artefact equiped supposed to cause you to get oneshot by anomalies passive damage despite having only a cumulative penalty of -8 out of +50% base resistance?

[ruby crystal]

Could you guys send me yours dynamic tonemap settings? I've been tweaking it for a few hours now and I can't set this piece of crap properly.

[ruby crystal]

How can I make my game to look like yours? :p

[solid spire]

I'm using the aggressor reshade

But I turned on some extra things in the reshade for screenshots

Aggressor reshade is off by default but it does come with gamma

You just have to turn it on and then start up your game, press home, and choose the aggressor preset

The mod also comes with a readme that shows the values of certain things like gloss and such

[dapper matrix]

can i set the trees and grass back to green? autumn retexture changes the trees but the grass is still brown

[solid spire]

!deadzone

[raw raft]

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

[subtle quail]

probably was asked before but what to do with 70 kg stashes

im a filthy lootgolbin hoarder this is unacceptable

[dapper matrix]

nice thanks

[graceful iron]

the stash limit ?

!weight

[raw raft]

Stashes now have limited carry weight. To store many items, you need to craft boxes where you'll have more space to store your loot. This change was made so that base building mechanics has an in-game purpose.
It forces the player to think about what he/she chooses instead of piling up tons of useless weapons that worsen loading times, inventory opening times, it also makes the game "lighter," all stuff related to make the game more "quicker".
If you don't like this change or maybe you're in the middle of a run and can't afford/don't want to use straight away the hideout feature, you can enable this mod under G.A.M.M.A. Fixes called "Unlimited Stashes Weight".

[graceful iron]

some stashes have higher limits, you can craft or buy them and place them anywhere

[whole marsh]

I wonder if there is some dmr/sniper rifle ammo that is good against tanky mutants, like Half giants, 'cause i noticed the tissue damage of a bullet it's accurate only against npc/weak mutants, so for killing a damned heavy beat from distances, there are good solutions? Or i should stick with hp bullets (and those are present only on certain smg and in assault rifle) and shotguns?

[wild bone]

I wanted to ask a quick question. I attempted to remove the main menu music through MO2, the music is still playing. Kinda confused by this.

[subtle quail]

how do i start base buildling

is this valheim now

[graceful iron]

just right click > place on the place-able objects

nothing fancy, you can only place different stash types, lights, a portable workbench and a piano

[subtle quail]

where to buy/how to craft stashes, do i need basic toolkit probably?

[graceful iron]

basic toolkit allows you to craft all items in the hideout category and general traders will sell them as you progress through their supply levels

[gloomy fog]

AFAIK all mutants have no BR rating. Pseudo Giants and Chimeras just have a ton of health.

[graceful iron]

they have weak spots and "armored" spots, but its not real armor like stalkers

they just take less damage in their armored spots

[shadow sapphire]

Also you want to snipe mutants? .338 LM

[graceful iron]

not after the deer hunter got removed

it was the perfect one-shot one kill for mutants at medium to long range

[shadow sapphire]

It didn't get removed. You just gotta kill to get it now XD

[graceful iron]

grok said he will add it to npcs, and it will be very rare anyways

[shadow sapphire]

It's already done

[graceful iron]

oh

[shadow sapphire]

It's been dropping XD

[graceful iron]

i have missed some stuff i guess

[untold bane]

I thought all the snipers got removed?

or is the deer hunter not a sniper

shotgun?

[dapper matrix]

Ok so now I am having gloss issues. I replaced the user.ltx with the default file. Now when changing the gloss factor in the settings, sometimes the effect of it changes between high or low. Also around 7pm, all the trees and grass turns white. Then a minute later, they go back to normal and the ground gets really shiny. The ground slowly fades back as the sun sets.

[shadow sapphire]

Huh?

[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.

[dapper matrix]

630

[shadow sapphire]

Run Installer as Admin -> Update GAMMA Data -> Full GAMMA Install and be amazed as it's fixed.

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[hollow phoenix]

when finding kitted weapons, is there a chance of getting the kit from disassembling it or does it only happen w specific weapons?

[shadow sapphire]

Do you mean an upgrade or do you mean like the swamp thing kit

[hollow phoenix]

upgrade kits ie ak12 monolith or p220 tactical

[shadow sapphire]

I believe you do get the kit if you disassemble

[hollow phoenix]

strange, thats only happened to me a couple times mainly being w handguns

[jagged oracle]

Hi guys, is there any way to perhaps manually delete the extra lamps in an existing save via console commands?

[willow hawk]

I’ll bring it back 💚

Not sure it’s properly added

Will make another pass

[graceful iron]

i am not complaining that it got removed, and larkin did say it was already added

[willow hawk]

Shoot them

[jagged oracle]

never occurred to me... 😛

[shadow sapphire]

It's definitely spawning for people, is it balanced fully idk XD

[graceful iron]

although i think the deer hunter (gun+kit) were already dropping a long time ago but i only seen it once from a legend mono

[willow hawk]

Or knife them

[shadow sapphire]

I do think only mono drops it, but I don't think it's legend only

[jagged oracle]

How rare is the spartan or apocalypse helm; best place to farm for it (red forest, limansk or ...)?

[graceful iron]

way before grok even overhauled the npc loadouts, idk what happened since then till now to its drop rate and npc

[shadow sapphire]

Mil is a big fan of apoc helm

[digital falcon]

is there a way to move a hideout object once youve placed it? i have a metal box i placed but it looks weird and want to move it

[graceful iron]

click on take all twice

[digital falcon]

thanks!

[mystic finch]

does current version of gamma have parts type matcher version 2?

[echo elk]

5% chance, good luck

[willow hawk]

Yes

[mystic finch]

ah okay I already reported it in #🔨modded-gamma-support but this mod is giving me a crash just wanted to ask if it was version 2

[white bloom]

⚡ Some 3D (picture in picture) scopes cause severe fps drops. How can I replace them with 2D variants? Or with the ones who just zoom in instead of rendering new picture

[willow hawk]

just don't use them

[grim hawk]

In the character creation menu, when I set difficulties to certain presets I will have to set them again right after starting the game - the presets I choose in creation menu do not matter and do not carry over. The first screenshot shows difficulties right after I started the game - they are different from the 'Hard' preset I set it after a few seconds. Same thing with progression difficulties. Why is that? Also, if I wanted to do Invictus, I would have to play with which preset?

Also, the first preset matches with none of the other presets, not 'Normal' nor 'easy'

[willow hawk]

because :o)

vanilla anomaly issue

change difficulty settings per character

this is to prevent invictus cheese

[fervent moss]

the game crashes my GPU and i do not know the reason
I have an AMD Radeon RX 5700

[willow hawk]

!amd

[raw raft]

If you have issues with AMD GPUs try installing the dlls of the x64 folder of the following .tar.gz to Anomaly/bin folder: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
If you still have issues, refer to this guide: #╭📖faq message

[fervent moss]

ohhh, thank you

<3

[grim hawk]

I don't quite get how it works but if it's not a bug.. Which preset is viable for Invictus then?

[willow hawk]

no you don't get it

if you change difficulty settings, it invalidates invictus

[grim hawk]

But then, do I play on +50 kg bonus?

[willow hawk]

invictus is hard survivalist 2 lives iron man no life regen with time

[willow hawk]

yes it's intended

if you want max gamma difficulty play hard survivalist

that's what gamma is balanced for

all difficulty settings are customized

• there are hidden mechanics based on difficulty choosen (damage you receive, damage you deal, etc)

easy is easy, medium is medium and hard is hard

now if you want to change stuff, you can, but taht's only after you created your save

and changes occur only for that save

if you want to tweak difficulty settings, change it in the difficulty.ltx file

you can find it in MO2 right panel bottom search bar

[grim hawk]

Okay, thank you

[grim hawk]

This one is nice

[willow hawk]

yes I try to make the difficulty settings meaningfull

imo easy should be easy, as in, you can enjoy the game mechanics without suffering

you receive only 65% of the damage and deal 30% more damage and ammo penetration iirc

[whole marsh]

When you find it, save, and reload the game in debug mode. Drop the 3d scope/weapon with 3d scope and spawn a 2d version. Save, reload in normal mode. I do this also when i found a vanilla weapon that have a BaS/Lewd version (and so it's cooler and better) or if i fund a non black version of the scar, because black is more cool lol

[north turret]

Do mechanics only sell heavy armor kits after you have given them expert tools?

[brisk zinc]

Yes IIRC

They change their stock when you bring them tool kits

[north turret]

I've already given him advanced kit and hoping that was enough. Sucks having a heavy suit and full parts ready and no way to repair it.

[echo elk]

You can craft heavy armor repair kit with advanced tools

If you have rouble to burn :)

[north turret]

Yeah I did the math and screw that. I'll just have to wait.

[boreal chasm]

From what I understand, 3d scope is not the same as PiP. This confusion makes it very frustrating to navigate the questions.

3d scope is when you can see the gun

as in the case of iron sights

which is amazing for immersion

but PIP, is horrible

because of performance

[north turret]

PiP is when the scope is zoomed in but the surroundings is zoomed out, like real life

[white bloom]

PiP is a real perfomance issue for me

[compact coral]

optionally farm a fuck ton of money/materials and make like 4/5 medium armor kits to make a heavy one

[brisk zinc]

Completely normal, it's not a bug

Don't use them

[thick warren]

Works fine now. Thank you.

[split plume]

Is updating with full install gonna keep my savegames safe 100%? or is it not guaranteed

[tidal raft]

Won't touch saved games.

[split plume]

Hm, I guess my question was more "is there a possibility my game is gonna start crashing or break and become unplayable otherwise"

[tidal raft]

Only if you enabled, or added, add-ons which change objects, tasks, or scripts—such as MagsRedux. If you did, you have to enable them again.

[mental dirge]

whats the reason bounty squads got disabled?

the light source duplication thingy on the save is smth to worry about?

[crude umbra]

whats the minimum condition to sell armor or weapons to traders?

[slender peak]

Hey, I started playing the military faction, and got a quest "Patrol the area" and it points to the local medic, lieutenant something, but he has nothing to talk about regarding the quest and am stuck, help?

[mental dirge]

you dont trade armor and weapons here

[crude umbra]

okay just wanted to make sure

[pallid lotus]

is the beacon artifact teleport broken or am I missing something? I equip it and kill random stalkers both long range and point blank and no tp. I did get tp'd once but no conditions were different

[boreal mountain]

Hey, new to the game here, I like using the Wolf's Tourists as companions before I escort them to the site, but I have a question. If I dump my loot on my companion, and then complete the mission so my companion is gone, what happens to my loot?

[slender peak]

or is the faction quest just broken?

and am wasting my time with it?

[compact coral]

first of all, good morning
second, may i please get a link for that sexy compass in the bottom of the screen?

and third, just max out the grass density slider

be mindful of the heavy fps impact tho

[compact coral]

it gets lost

[vital bobcat]

Compass is included 😄

[compact coral]

always strip them of your stuff before asking for the reward of that quest

[vital bobcat]

just have to turn on the minimap in-game and have the compass mod enabled instead of the mini-map one

[compact coral]

ah, yea i see my mistake

i had both the dov minimap and the compass mod enabled in my load order

[willow hawk]

what the hell it's way too dark

cfg_load grading_warm in the console, try it

[slender peak]

if i create a stash using a store bought backpack it just disappears upon creation

[wheat prism]

Hmm, yeah that... that is actually an issue in vanilla anomaly too so

[slender peak]

damn, shame

probably feet deep into the ground for all i know

[wheat prism]

Are you sheltered?

Yeah... it is probably on top of you, because of the way the game thought your head was in that floor.

[slender peak]

inside military base by the trader

at Agroprom

oh ill go look up when im done with the underground

[wheat prism]

I had the same issue, but in skadovsk.

[vital bobcat]

Oh, thanks!

[slender peak]

i can still use regular stashes around the world right? nothing should be able to come and loot it all? kinda heavy atm

[grizzled raven]

no one can loot your stashes yea

[velvet ridge]

Is there a way to despawn objects? The duplicate light sources from the recent patch is killing my fps

[lime ibex]

What number mod is ammo check?

I cant find it

[willow hawk]

it's in mags redux iirc

[lime ibex]

Oh so you dont need to enable it?

It is included in mags redux?

[willow hawk]

yes iirc

I'm not using this so I don't remember

[rocky urchin]

Nope, Ammo check is a separate mod

Still included in GAMMA modlist. Try the search function in MO2

Wrong channel, you may ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[vital bobcat]

I'm actually asking about vanilla mods I want to disable

So I don't know if this question belongs there

[versed tusk]

no

anyything that deviates from, vanilla, goes to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[vital bobcat]

Done

[willow hawk]

First model has no specular whatsoever and 2nd has some

why trying to use HD models when it's clearly the inferior choice

[twilit iris]

If I have a 90% fixed monolith proto-exo can I trade it with anyone for another type of proto exo ?

[willow hawk]

proto exo > no, I didn't make such a catergory because there are only few of them

[twilit iris]

Fuck's sake alright F7 it is

[willow hawk]

and half of them have terrible defenses while the other ones of very good defenses

welp, removes the stalker aesthetic of the game

[subtle quail]

What to do with mosnter tracking device mission if there is no monster on point and anybody near

[willow hawk]

keeps reminding you that stalker doesn't take place IRL and that's not your random shooter

[willow hawk]

be sure to look around

there can be mutants or the tracking device directly

[rocky urchin]

I have a question for the sake of minmaxing. For the player's protection specifically, how do BR class works, especially in relationship of the ballistic resistance value ?

[subtle quail]

open field on argorprom there is nobody there

[rocky urchin]

Try at night ?

[subtle quail]

is is night)

[hexed birch]

how does one accomplish the "scanning field" mission? I drop it on the ground in the anomaly field but nothing happens

[rocky urchin]

Scan anomaly ? Try equipping the scanner

If you're close enough of your objective, it'll bip. Hold it in your hand and just wait. Around 1/2min

[willow hawk]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/eb090d0d395bfbae6c6ba6c74dcc787fefb68141/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Actor Damage Balancer/gamedata/scripts/grok_actor_damage_balancer.script#L350

armor_protection = ballistic res * 0.2 + BR class * 1.3

[rocky urchin]

Thank you.

[willow hawk]

so indeed, it always provides a strong defense boost

that's why armor plates are so good

[rocky urchin]

+3BR per unit for the maximum upgrade doesn't seems enormous. But the ballistic/explosive resistance is very very sweet

[hexed birch]

it cant equip, all it says is place

[rocky urchin]

Need to find some. I noticed the CS trader can sell them at high goodwill but I have to find another source.

[rocky urchin]

I am not familiar with that mission, can't help :/

[hexed birch]

know who might be?

[rocky urchin]

Anyone that can tumble on this channel and know the answer

[hexed birch]

fair enough

[nimble oxide]

is there a way to light a fire under the ass of my companions? 😄

i would like them a bit faster

[willow hawk]

+3BR is crazy

[flat cairn]

Hi guys, not really a gamma question but anyway.
So, I've cleared radar -> x19 laboratory, and than yellow objectives just gone. I remembered that Sakharov guy gave me a second task near him with miracle machine. After using 4 levers I've been noted that mission is complete, and there isn't anything further.
Am I missing something?

[willow hawk]

just get on the top

and blackout

then get out

and go to sakharov again

[rocky urchin]

Ah, It's like going from br3 to br6. I was confused with the values you can read on armors, which are 2 digits

[willow hawk]

36 + 3 > 39

[flat cairn]

Where I should get on top? The character haven't blacked out in the lab or in the sewers after that

[whole marsh]

How can i deactivate the automatic zoom out of the scopes, when i unaim? I've deactivated the add on auto zoom out, but nothing changed

[willow hawk]

wait, wheres X19 again ?

it's the brain scorcher right ?

Just go to the end and press the button and fight your way back

[flat cairn]

Yeah, u are right

[flat cairn]

oh shit, I've fast traveled after the lever 😦

[proven thorn]

Could have sworn you get the mission update after using the button in the BS, but you might have to leave from the actual exit

[versed tusk]

i think you have to get to the exit ya

this is why you dont FT out of missions

just skipping all the fun

[flat cairn]

well, I've got in to the lab, tried to walk out immediately -> no mission update. Run though the dungeon with debug mode to test it out, killed all monolith guys and returned to the lever -> no result
Is there a console command to activate quests?

[south patio]

Is there a mod in the pack that shows the weight of items in your inventory?

[viral coral]

I got a mission to analyse an anomalous field but it doesn't seem to be working. Is this a known bug or what am I supposed to do? I walk around with the anomaly detector and my PDA keeps saying that the mission is updated but nothing works

[versed tusk]

is it the reader or the sensor?

[jagged belfry]

Can you wear a Compass artefact without a container?

[compact coral]

well, you can

the problem will be the radiation

[viral coral]

he gave me an anomalous measurement device

[lilac crest]

can i turn on agressor reshade? its turned of by default. is it optional?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, but its only the ground textures

[nimble oxide]

i swear there is an option to disable stash sizes

can someone give me hint were it is, i cant find it anymore

[shadow sapphire]

Enable the mod called Unlimited Stash Weight

[compact coral]

↑

[dapper matrix]

Wait so what is considered the proper difficulties? The presets when you select your character or the presets in the menu after you start your playthrough?

[willow hawk]

when you create your character

[subtle quail]

Who do you people think about optimal ZCP (population factor) and squad sizes settings

for fun gameplay

[crystal mason]

what kind of fps numbers should I be expecting with 1080ti and 12700k +32gigs of fast ddr4?

I'm currently getting maybe high 50's and a shit ton of stuttering

haven't applied those tips that are in discord yet

Tried turning off 0 core tho didn't help anything

[shadow sapphire]

Turn off AVX and follow the !stutter guide

[crystal mason]

thank you

[shadow sapphire]

50s is pretty good for that hardware imo

[shy relic]

just started playing recently, Is there anyway to sort the inventory? any time I pick something up it just stacks to the bottom

[shadow sapphire]

Are you running Sorting Plus mod?

[shy relic]

Nevermind, it is running Thanks

[crystal mason]

jeez I thought I was still running a decent pc XD

[shadow sapphire]

It is, but your running a game from 2009 basically and it can only use 1 single core of your CPU

[nimble oxide]

well your gpu / cpu setup is kinda the wrong way around 😉

[shadow sapphire]

I pull a solid 90 FPS with a 12th Gen i9 and a 2080 Super

[shadow sapphire]

Nah, not for stalker lol

[crystal mason]

I got rid of the stutter atleast now

[nimble oxide]

my 3080 Ti is sweating bullets though

[crystal mason]

does the game have a hotkey for showing performance statistics?

[nimble oxide]

home/pos 1 kinda works, there is a statistics tab

[shadow sapphire]

Hit home, settings tab, about 2/3 of the way down you can check a few things that will show in upper right

[crystal mason]

found it thx

130 fps in swamps now

[umbral canopy]

Has debug mode unlimited carry weight or something like that? To move 400kg of random stuff between bases..

[shadow sapphire]

Escape -> Settings -> Gameplay -> Allow Fast travel on overweight Then just fast travel, or you can enable god mode.

[nimble oxide]

thats what i used to do, works great

[umbral canopy]

Thanks! Do time pass while fast traveling? I like the idea of carry all the stuff walking but maybe the fast traveling is the easiest solution

[nimble oxide]

AFAIK in the default settings it does, yes

[umbral canopy]

👍

[nimble oxide]

i found a slider for "my" speed, is there something similar for companion speed?

[lime ibex]

Anyone know where i can find some .338 federal or lapua magnum?

[shadow sapphire]

Federal doesnt exist

[crystal mason]

sorry with all these noob questions but im constantly fucking up my leg

Do you mean that federal is not sold?

I thought the caliber on that got changed... If I am wrong then also NATO SL5

[lime ibex]

Alright, guess i have to go to swamps

[tidal raft]

Did you debug the weapon in?

[indigo dew]

what do i need to change 'N' to if i want to use middle mouse button?

[shadow sapphire]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[indigo dew]

??

not mod making, this is for GAMMA's keybind fix script

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, but why are you editing the script instead of using settings?

[indigo dew]

because there is no setting for it.

[shadow sapphire]

Are you trying to change NV or NV gain?

[indigo dew]

NV

all i need to know is how do i say "Mouse 3" or "middle mouse"

everything else is fine

[shadow sapphire]

NV setting is in Escape -> Settings -> Control -> Keybinds.

The reason I pointed you to #╙🖇mods-making-discussion is because most people here dont know what the DIK address of MM3 is. But the people there do.

[rocky urchin]

.336 Federal does exists in game, however.

[indigo dew]

alright thanks

[rocky urchin]

Craftable and lootable

It's for a few select rifles like the DVL

[shadow sapphire]

I was 90% sure the caliber got changed, or the gun dropped from loot pool... @tidal raft am I miss remembering this?

[rocky urchin]

I dropped a Saboteur on a previous playthrough on a Merc corpse from the Last Signal mission

[tidal raft]

One of the two DVLs was removed from NPC loadouts. Either Urbana or Saboteur.

Which is why I suspect Kamelvor may have debug'ed the weapon in if it still uses federal ammo.

[rocky urchin]

Did not use debug, that's for sure

[olive haven]

why don't patrol helo spawn with the option on?

[tidal raft]

If you right-click the weapon and look at "Details", which ammo type does it list?

[rocky urchin]

My save got deleted after dying. But I am 100% positive it was .336 Federal

[subtle quail]

can i use multi fuel stove on fire?

[tidal raft]

No.

[shadow sapphire]

Nah m1 is still in, and dropping federal caliber

Just checked the loadouts and the .ltx

Let me check for a dltx though

[tidal raft]

That shouldn't be. Federal ammo was removed by Grok.

He made DVL use Lapua.

[rocky urchin]

Wait now I'm even more confused.

[shadow sapphire]

I thought so too, but I dont see that anywhere

[storm vortex]

getting same crashes with default mod list, screen freezes, this time black screen yet NPC's still shooting me, it crashes my browser too where I am watching a streamer

will try gpu driver update next

[patent siren]

Anyone run into their inventory scrolling suddenly become extremely slow? Only fix I've found so far is reloading my save

[nimble oxide]

i had that bug with "vanilla" anomaly allready, my only solution was also loading a save 😦

[rocky urchin]

Alt tabbing cause this issue

Alt tab while in the pause menu if you want to avoid that

[patent siren]

Ah okay, thank you!

[rocky urchin]

Or be like me, cope and use the slider with the mouse like a tech-illiterate boomer

[radiant stirrup]

does page down work?

[shadow sapphire]

One of the NPCs you looted got disconnected from Alife (rare but possible bug) who ever it is that you were disassembling items of do not loot him.

[vagrant jolt]

i followed the basic 8 steps for framerate optimization but they are not enough.I can see GAMMA makes the game prettier than Anomaly but i hate this,my computer cannot handle it

I refuse to install classic textures mod because i could run Anomaly with the correct settings just fine.I basically want to remove any mod that makes the game prettier and keep the gameplay changes

Also if there are mods that add lots of unnecesary computations(such as much higher level AI for stalkers) maybe they burden my system,so i will try getting rid of those too

However,i do not know which of these mods they are,appearence and computing-wise

[shadow sapphire]

I meant, in the actual scripts lol. Its still there and still using federal.

[storm vortex]

okay thanks its UNISG guys

[vagrant jolt]

Can anyone tell me which mods i should look into getting rid of?

for example water on ground and my weapon reflect light,this didn't happen in Anomaly with the same settings.How do i get rid of that?

[radiant stirrup]

keep in mind that even with some mods disabled, you are running 300 mods on top of anom. it is going to be slower. you could pick a few of the mods from gamma and play with those if you want the fps but your not going to get anom frame rate with mostly gamma

[vagrant jolt]

yeah i guess they are a lot

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, what kind of performance are you getting? Is it stutter or frames that is the issue, and what is your hardware

[tidal raft]

I know. Which is why I'm surprised they are still in.

[vagrant jolt]

i will basically just try to get rid of all appearence-based ones

[radiant stirrup]

also this is definitely a #🔨modded-gamma-support question

[shadow sapphire]

He responded that he hasnt removed them because it would cause bugs with saves.

[tidal raft]

But he removed so many weapon duplicates before.

[shadow sapphire]

He wants to caliber change not remove is the issue

[vagrant jolt]

i do not know how to check framerate in the game but i can see stutters.It is to the point i cannot hip fire towards close enemies because the game just runs slow

My hardware is pretty bad

[compact coral]

how bad?

[stoic moth]

Remove shaders first off

[vagrant jolt]

really bad

[stoic moth]

Try dx8

[vagrant jolt]

i followed all 8 steps of Framerate optimization,i think those removed them

[compact coral]

i have an i5 3550 and a gtx970 and can run mostly fine

[radiant stirrup]

press home to bring up reshade, go to settings and find fps display

[vagrant jolt]

i will try fps display

[stoic moth]

Try removing DICK and lowering stalker pop

[vagrant jolt]

let me check my gpu

[stoic moth]

Main problem is gamma has a lot of stuff integrated into it

[vagrant jolt]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ cpu
Intel HD Graphics 630

i run on the core gpu,the secondary burned in an accident

[stoic moth]

You can't just remove certain things without getting rid of others as well

[vagrant jolt]

laptop

hmm i see

[radiant stirrup]

what's your ram?

[compact coral]

well your cpu aint that bad

[vagrant jolt]

16 gb

yeah cpu is alright

[compact coral]

have you tried lowering the resolution instead?

[radiant stirrup]

that should be fine

[vagrant jolt]

yeah,i play at 1280x720

[compact coral]

perhaps not playing at 1080p but 900p or 720

o rip

[radiant stirrup]

hmm I have worse specs then you, but get 60fps in non dense places

[vagrant jolt]

first off i shoudl try dx8/ds10 and remove DICK and lowering stalker pop

how do i do the latter

[radiant stirrup]

are you playing dx11?

[vagrant jolt]

I am currently at the red forest

yeah dx11

avx

[radiant stirrup]

same

whats your fps then?

[vagrant jolt]

will try now

[compact coral]

red forest is a pretty heavy zone tho

mostly because of the grass and trees

[brisk zinc]

What GPU?

[compact coral]

intel hd 630

[brisk zinc]

DX 11 without AVX it's a big no then

What about the CPU?

[compact coral]

kek

[shadow sapphire]

Do this:

!dx8

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first (this also applies to NVG): #╭📖faq message

[compact coral]

@brisk zinc

its a laptop so there aint much to be done about the hardware

[radiant stirrup]

Its odd, i have a worse pc than that guy, also playing dx11 and in red forest and get 40-50 fps at 1080

[compact coral]

the thing is youre not playing with an intel igpu are you?

[rancid fern]

anyone knowing an addon so my nvgs work on dx8 ?

[compact coral]

intel graphics are remarkably shit

theyre basic display adapters at best

[brisk zinc]

!dx8

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first (this also applies to NVG): #╭📖faq message

[rancid fern]

do my little nvgs also work ?

[radiant stirrup]

the optics?

[rancid fern]

like beefs nvgs just for potatoe pcs

in rc3.1 or 3 it worked fine

[vagrant jolt]

i get 21-25 fps in red forest

i got as low as 9-11 sometimes

briefly

[shadow sapphire]

Follow the dx8 guide I sent you, that should help.

[vagrant jolt]

with dx8 i get full 60fps

i changed the brightness and it's not all that bad
I want however to try different options if there are

[compact coral]

nice

but why is dx8 supported but not dx9?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly that is the best option for your hardware. Or you could try turning off all shaders, but it probably wont work as well

[shadow sapphire]

no idea

[vagrant jolt]

hmm how do i turn all off

besides the ones in the home menu

or is that all?

[rancid fern]

I bet all of you here have better spec than me

[shadow sapphire]

disable the follow mods -> Shader Cumulative Pack -> Skies Redux -> Enhanced Shaders -> Screen Space Shaders -> Shader Corner Shadow Fix in mo2 just uncheck the box, then do this

!shader

[raw raft]

To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[shadow sapphire]

Then launch game and check

[radiant stirrup]

doubt, what year was your your graphics card made

[vagrant jolt]

already did that

[rancid fern]

mx130

year dont know

[vagrant jolt]

i still notice changes that make the game prettier though

As i mentioned,light reflects on water puddles and off my gun in dx11 which didn't happen in anomaly

There is no other mod i can remove?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly no

[vagrant jolt]

damn

[radiant stirrup]

The GeForce MX130 was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on November 17th, 2017
???

[vagrant jolt]

i will get used to dx8 then

honestly it plays better than before but looks a lot different

thanks for the help everyone!

[rancid fern]

it honestly not that bad

[rancid fern]

pretty old

[radiant stirrup]

no no, its a graphics card for a mobile?

[rancid fern]

you mean laptop ?

[radiant stirrup]

I mean, it says mobile. not laptop

[rancid fern]

hmmm

wellp im not really the most brightest person about computer but what i can say is that i have a mx130 installed and a intel hd graphics 620

[compact coral]

laptop graphics are also considered as mobile graphics

[umbral canopy]

Its avx recommended for a 1070 graphic card? With a 4790k

[odd moon]

How to disable the Magazines Redux? Here in modlist the 207 - Mags Redux is disabled, but the mags keep appearing.

[shadow sapphire]

!avx

[raw raft]

AVX allows the CPU to process calculations normally handled by the GPU. Although in most cases this is a performance boost, since you are often using the GPU to its fullest to get frames and not touching a good portion of the multi-core CPU, X-Ray uses only ONE core.
So, in plain english, if you have a beefy GPU, it's better to NOT use AVX.

[shadow sapphire]

No

[shadow sapphire]

You cant disable it and keep using that save. Once you turn it on for a save, its on.

[odd moon]

It's already disabled, i tried a new game and the anomaly mags keep appearing in inventory and MCM

[compact coral]

avx makes it so you offload some of the processing strain from the gpu to the cpu, if you dont have a top notch cpu youre far better not using avx

[odd moon]

I just want the magazines mods out, it's possible?

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list where it was asked if you're using the command in another channel: #╭📖faq message

Send you mod list, probably missing one or two of the optionals

[odd moon]

Ok, i'll send here?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[odd moon]

Ok, one second.

[umbral canopy]

Ah ok! My gpu its not a beefy gpu anymore, thats why i was confused. Thanks

[odd moon]

@shadow sapphire Send all installed mods or Only active?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I gotta get falco to reword it, but basically if your GPU is more powerful than CPU dont use it

[shadow sapphire]

All please

[odd moon]

@shadow sapphire

Here

[vagrant jolt]

I have to say,with dx8,depth is blurry

I touched other options,is it perhaps not supposed to do that?

[warped ginkgo]

maybe you enabled depth of field

[shadow sapphire]

Send a screenshot of your anomaly folder

[vagrant jolt]

i get this.Can i change it?

i do have low depth of field

but in the other versions it didn't produce such an ugly effect

Was this about my problem?

[odd moon]

@willow hawk All my anomaly's gamedata folder have is a config folder, most of the mods are in the Gamma Installer, want me to screenshoot these?

[willow hawk]

Screenshot the content of the gamedata folder in Anomaly folder please 😉

[odd moon]

okay

[umbral canopy]

does the RF Receiver chatter that we hear sometimes means that there are NPCs/enemies nearby?

[odd moon]

@willow hawk

[willow hawk]

What’s inside config?

[odd moon]

axr_options.ltx

[compact coral]

yeap

[willow hawk]

Ok good. Now launch the gamma installer do « only install gamma addons » and launch MO2 and boot the game, launch a new game

[compact coral]

the super blurry trees are from using very low object detail

[willow hawk]

There shouldn’t be any mags in the game

[compact coral]

perhaps increasing some graphics detail will make the game look a bit better while not plummeting your fps'

[odd moon]

@willow hawk Normal Installations instructions? Allow powershell, update gamma data and and complete gamma installation?

[willow hawk]

No simply only install gamma addons

[odd moon]

@willow hawk Sorry for still wasting your time, but there's no option in my installer

It's an older installer?

[willow hawk]

V3.1 installer

What the hell

V3.7 is the current version

Are you using an old version of the client for some reason ?

Where did you get that ?

[hollow brook]

Hello, I am having very big problems with artefacts. My game CTDs almost every time I try to do anything with an artefact. Pick one up from the ground? 50% chance of a crash. Put one in an LLMC?

[winter raptor]

why is my stalker rank progression so slow?

[versed tusk]

because it's nerfed

[winter raptor]

so its supposed to be like that

what are the main sources of rank exp?

or, biggest sources i mean?

[compact coral]

literally do anything

[winter raptor]

biggest sources

[compact coral]

biggest source is completing missions

anything counts

[split plume]

what factions sell NATO stuff

[compact coral]

even killing enemies counts towards your rank

uhhhhhhhhhhhh, cant remember but from the top of my head mercs and freedom

[versed tusk]

NATO factions, duh

its CS, Freedom, Mercs

[compact coral]

wait

cs is nato?

[versed tusk]

ya

[compact coral]

fuck yea

[versed tusk]

Swamp thing is also 556

[compact coral]

fuck these hippie ass freedom bitches

time to destroy their asses while wearing the pride colors of duty

otherwise you wouldnt be supplying it with ammo

Hi, How to dismiss a companion when the option is not shown when talking to him? I'm ok to use a debug command

[odd moon]

Already tried the C key?

[compact coral]

a bullet to the head also works

[odd moon]

I was going to answer that, just scared of being banned XD

[compact coral]

the c key doesnt do anything to dissmiss companions

[odd moon]

Ok, my bad this one

[shell geyser]

well, I'd like to keep him alive tho

[nimble oxide]

is there a scripted way to get the special TOZ for Hip since you cant buy it anymore :X

[compact coral]

if he doesnt have any option for you to dismiss it maybe its because hes from a mission

a scourt mission or a hostage rescue

check your mission list and see if you have anything related to those

[versed tusk]

who is Hip?

[compact coral]

hmmm, who is that individual? 🤔

[brisk zinc]

Kill bandits
But in theory now you don't have to bring her the gun (right? Can someone confirm?)

[nimble oxide]

the only female stalker, as far as im aware

[brisk zinc]

They're clearly joking

[compact coral]

f*males in stalker?

[versed tusk]

i am joking, and no, there's tons of wamen

[compact coral]

theres no way!

[compact coral]

just kill bandits

[nimble oxide]

the quest still states that she wants the gun

allrighty

[compact coral]

if youre lucky you can get it right away in the car park

[brisk zinc]

Yeah that's why I'm not sure about it

Because I know you need to bring her something else

Maybe the gun is still the first thing

But instead of the tuna can, you need to bring here other stuff

It could be

[worn dragon]

is there no reward for the miracle machine quest? XD

are there any grass re texture mods in this pack or something. I'm in army warehouses and grass here is so uuuuglyy, its almost white, very contrasting with ground, or is something wrong with my render

[brisk zinc]

You asked for limbs, you got limbs

[vagrant jolt]

😦

[brisk zinc]

I don't see how limbs = ammo

[vagrant jolt]

I read on the guide

Fmj does calculations with limb conditions

Or something

When firing at enemy stalkers

[brisk zinc]

Ah, that I don't know

Never heard someone complaining about it though

[vagrant jolt]

Hmm alright

I will try to not remove it

I have problem with my game it's pitch black. I reinstalled modpack twice, also I deleted shader cache. I don't know what to do 😦

Ultimately it is up to grok, but I am not going to fix another authors mod honestly. In addition to the issues it caused, including trying to spawn squads in labs, I also have several clips of it spawning squads literally on top of the player. Which is frankly way too unfair imo.

if she gets her ass shot then perhaps no

if you mean because of the psy resistance, no

npcs are not affected by psy damage and anomalies

companions are fairly tanky in this mod

[summer crag]

yeah, I only mean Psy resistance; if she gets shot that's on her xD

can i use the looting takes time and tagged patches mods?

No?

Read the description of that channel

And use #🔨modded-gamma-support for extra mods you want to add

[hollow moon]

ok sorry about that

[brisk zinc]

It's a channel with a bot in it, every new mod added on Moddb will be posted there
This doesn't mean that any mod will be added

Stalkers i am supposed to guide get stuck literally a few dozen meters away from the point

How can i...compell them...to come?

Reloading helped lol

[winged ether]

do bandits have a story mission line? seems like im just getting the randomized quests

[vagrant jolt]

Nvm it didn't help a lot.why do they get stuck at nothing?

[compact coral]

press c and tell them not to engage in fights

give them the option to do so only if youre going to/have already engaged in a fight

it will make the guide mission easier and will save you a lot of headaches

[vagrant jolt]

I did

There is a psy storm coming,the point is literally in the next block

But they do not move

[compact coral]

because the ai is sometimes more artificial than inteligent

iirc companions dont die on psy storms or emissions

[brisk zinc]

Enable the teleport mod

if they wanna chill outside just let them be

They did just die to that 😦

[shadow sapphire]

Thats interesting. No idea if you can change it. But I usually get one off almost every stalker.

[vagrant jolt]

😦

Also mutants are stuck in place

What is happening to my gaaame

[north turret]

Any tips? Even if I sprint from the Miracle Machine gates straight to where the stairs are, I die from the ghosts. I have screen helmet and psyblock too.

[shadow sapphire]

Shoot or stab the ghosts

[solid spire]

It's possible in Brain Scorcher to run by, but in Miracle Machine there are so many mutants making psy-projections you need to chug some psyblock and shoot the ghosts before they reach you

[north turret]

Also how much ammo should I bring with me to MM? Killing all these ghosts will run through a chunk.

Vanilla is a couple bloodsuckers, a controller, and a few zombies. (Plus a few snorks and a giant in the basement)Not sure what Gamma has.

[shadow sapphire]

So the ghosts dont need "damage" Bring like a shit pistol like a tokarev or something in your vision slot, and then a decent amount of ammo for your real guns

[north turret]

Yeah I'm gonna have to go back a few saves lol. I just burned through over 100 shotgun shells just getting to the stairs

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly (this is not a git gud) the way I do it, is I shoot the snorks/suckers causing the phantoms as top priority even if I have to take a hit from a phantom (usually I just side step it though) and then any left over ones, I just 1 tap with a 9x18 pistol.

Save the good ammo for what needs it that way, and less phantoms to shoot

[summer crag]

Why is that every "good" artifacts spawns in bad quality?

is there a meaning towards this?

[shadow sapphire]

Its how artifacts work in gamma

[summer crag]

so I should just store them until I get a quest to sell

i guess, they were called calibration tools in CoP.

Tier 3 tools basically

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah expert

where are you looking?

[wheat copper]

everywhere

so far every stash that has tools only drops basic or advanced

[solid spire]

You need to be past the barrier, so Radar or higher

[shadow sapphire]

You can only find them in the northern part of the zone

[solid spire]

I'm not entirely sure if Limansk counts though

[wheat copper]

i looted a bunch in radar, and jupiter so far advanced or basic

[solid spire]

They are still rare lol

[wheat copper]

bruh

[solid spire]

I'm still searching for one in my playthrough

[tidal raft]

Just find them.

[wheat copper]

i guees i'll keep looking, it's difficult to get info for stashes in these locations tho

[stoic moth]

Sometimes you get them after the first stash in red forest, sometimes you loot 50 stashes. It's just rng

[somber roost]

Is there a stash at the machine yard in the swamp

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[somber roost]

Or just a box in general 😐i needa put stuff somewhere

[somber roost]

Location?

[wheat copper]

You can buy boxes and cases from traders

and put them anywhere

[somber roost]

Where’s the stash tho

[tidal raft]

Looking at the mounted machine gun from the front, follow the wall to the right. You can't miss it.

[wheat copper]

Can white stashes drop expert tools or just green ones?

[somber roost]

Lol thank you I’m ah dumbo

[tidal raft]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and type "!stash"

[wheat copper]

i have a fuck-load of white stashes in red forest, wish me luck i guess)

[north turret]

Well the pistol trick was working for MM but now I can't make it down the elevator shaft. You can't shoot and climb down a ladder at the same time.

[stoic moth]

If they're all in the shaft throw a grenade down

[north turret]

They aren't though

[stoic moth]

You're gonna have to take some pay damage. Load up on anti pay drugs

[north turret]

Psy block doesn't seem to do much

[stoic moth]

The one that blocks 17% psy is really good honestly. That and a decent helm works wonders

[north turret]

Why do my limbs keep losing health, I've used bandages and medkits and they keep dropping to zero even from standing around doing nothing. I've never used Groks bodily health system before.

Is the bar yellow?

[compact coral]

go out with a fuck ton of ap ammo and dont be affraid to waste it

at worst default to another fuck ton of high caliber fmj

[solid spire]

What you really need for MM is a helmet that isn't your starter one, and some decent pills. With that you take like 10% of your psi health from each projection, which should be more than enough protection to get you by

[north turret]

I have the screen helmet right now

[wheat copper]

120 of 7.62x39 AP will cost me a girthy 60k bruh...

[solid spire]

Make your own ammo

[compact coral]

if you were an ammo hoarder you could had gotten those 120 rounds for free

also dont be affraid to waste money

[solid spire]

Think of it as investment

[compact coral]

thats literally the least of your concerns in this game

[wheat copper]

ah yes, i have been collecting all the bullet parts and stuff for a long time, and all that only got me like 60 bullets -_-

[compact coral]

dude, thats 30k you got off of dead bodies

and youre complaining?

[solid spire]

Then disassemble some ammo to get parts for the one you use lol

[wheat copper]

what then? looting another 200 corpses to craft anorther 60?)

[solid spire]

Why not?

You're still saving money. That's pretty nice.

[compact coral]

believe me, getting 60 rounds out of nowhere is huge

[north turret]

doesnt look like it

[compact coral]

and doing simple quests can get you 60k fast af

literally by doing guide quests you can make like 10k moving ppl from cordon to like rostok or the military warehouses

[compact coral]

!heal

[raw raft]

A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[solid spire]

After you heal with something like a bandage or medkit, you get "first aid" on your limbs, so their bars will turn yellow, but the first aid is only temporary and will lower slowly until they are back at what they were before

[north turret]

so injuries are just permanent then?

[wheat copper]

i didnt say it's hard to get ammo, what i said is i cant just rely on crafting, and i simply have to buy them also

[compact coral]

easiest way to remember how the system works is use a bandage or first aid kit to heal (either the limbs or you hp pool) then use after heal (the ones with white dots in the description) to make the temporary yellow health from the bandages/first aid kits into real hp

[wheat copper]

so getting a "fuck-ton" of ap's is not that simple)

[solid spire]

No, there are medical items you can use to heal your limbs, they will say which limbs they can heal in their description (Post heal, and then the first letter of the limb. So L for leg, A for arm, etc. etc.) but they are fairly expensive. You might want to consider crafting them instead

[compact coral]

some of the after heals are ibuprofene and pain killers iirc

there are also some very legal and not completely unapropiate chemical injections you can use to boost the after heal even more

[solid spire]

To heal permanently though you need to make sure your limbs are yellow first, or else the permanent heal won't work. If that makes sense

[wheat copper]

i do heroin

[north turret]

cool thanks for sharing

[solid spire]

This one right here officer

[wheat copper]

helps with limb healing tho

[heady cradle]

what's default basic light settings in gamma?

[wheat copper]

A good combo is a morphine injection and then heroin and you as good as new 🙂

[north turret]

1.2 Gamma, 1.05 Saturation, 1.0 Brightness

Though to me 1.0 gamma looks better

[heady cradle]

thank you

[compact coral]

the life of a stalker aint easy

[wheat copper]

you mean stash or the diarrhea?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[compact coral]

[tidal raft]

Also, how is that a 'question' for #🔨base-gamma-support?

[wheat copper]

my game is vanilla, and it's a question... sorta... don't touch me!

[tidal raft]

Please respect each channel's purpose.

[wheat copper]

Fine, you sound just like duty...

[north turret]

Ok slow and tactical was a no go, but guns blazing is doing much better for MM. Also amazing job to whoever altered the MM deactivation audio bit. Very atmospheric.

Can you reassemble guns?

[tidal raft]

Not from scratch. You need a firearm body to insert parts into.

[somber roost]

After I update do I have to only install gamma addons again

Or is it updated

[shadow sapphire]

What did you do to update?

[somber roost]

I just pushed update gamma data so far

[shadow sapphire]

When was the last time you pressed anything else?

[somber roost]

Now I’m on 627

Uh….idk last time I asked for help in the chat so like a week or so

[shadow sapphire]

Full gamma install

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[somber roost]

Again? Ok

[shadow sapphire]

!difference

[raw raft]

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

[north turret]

gotcha thanks

[digital falcon]

when you hold control over an item, is it showing the max stats when fully repaired or the max stats when fully upgraded?

[tidal raft]

Fully repaired with current upgrades.

[quaint iris]

Heya guys! Do i need a fresh save if i disable trader overhaul again?

[slender peak]

The game runs very jittery and stuttery for some reason, every mouse or character movement feels like its skipping a lot of frames, but no amount of changing graphics settings fix this, tried it with 800x resolution and everything as low as they get, still the same problem

so it must be some mod causing this? played Expedition mod in the past a lot with all settings maxed out with 0 stutter issues

running an RTX card and everything else to match

ideas?

[digital falcon]

thank you

[quaint iris]

Int e #╭📖faq there is a guide to optimal settings for video settings. Try them out. Worked for me

[shadow sapphire]

!stutter

[raw raft]

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open the installer with admin rights, click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data and then Full G.A.M.M.A. installation)
2. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands)
3. Enable the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod in your MO2 (you can found the mod under the G.A.M.M.A. Fixes separator)
4. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering in NVIDIA control panel
5. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds
6. If you have a beefy GPU, use Anomaly (DX11)

[slender peak]

cheers! ill check that out

How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[digital falcon]

okay, so i have an AK with a canted red dot sight. but i cant seem to be able to look down the red dot. it only wants to look down the iron sight. how can i switch to the canted sight?

[shadow sapphire]

Which ak?

[digital falcon]

AK-105 specialist

[shadow sapphire]

Those helped me, definitely do it all and turn off avx I have a 2080 super and a 12th gen i9 and now it runs at 90fps stable with no stutter after all of that

[shadow sapphire]

What button are you hitting to switch?

[digital falcon]

i dont know where the keybinding is 😄

[shadow sapphire]

Ohhhh I misunderstood lol

HIT V

whoops caps

[digital falcon]

lol ok ill try that

ohhhh it works. thanks so much lol that was driving me nuts

[slender peak]

thanks these seem to have worked! can now max everything out wihtout any stutter i can tell

[dapper matrix]

So the ingame brightness slider does not work. Any idea how to change the brightness? (not gamma slider

[north turret]

rs_c_contrast

Not exactly brightness but that in combination with adjusting gamma will get you in a good spot

rs_c_contrast 1.0 and gamma 1.0 ironically are perfect for me

[exotic hemlock]

For the backing up of mod settings it says to rename a mod called "Rename to keep your personal changes" but does that mean rename the folder that the mod is in? Also do i leave it renamed forever or change it back once ive updated

[grizzled raven]

just the mod name in the manager iirc

[slender peak]

Is there a way to make the nights actually dark, same goes for interiors without light, theyre this flat gray where i can still see perfectly well

i want my tunnels be 100% dark if i have no light source

[austere mortar]

nights are impossible to see with vanilla's very dark option

[north turret]

Read above a few posts. Change rs_c_contrast and your gamma setting (basic light settings in the main graphics tab)

Oddly enough changing the night darkness setting does nothing for me. Can't tell the difference

[austere mortar]

coz of reshade probably, its cursed

[slender peak]

but doesnt that just force overall contrast too high? instead of removing ambient lighting or baked lightmaps

[north turret]

All I know is that my nights look very grey and washed out until I changed the contrast

[austere mortar]

u both have reshades? because reshade makes everything dark when its day and everything bright when its night.... it can only false advertise with screenshots xd

[slender peak]

tweaking screenspace effects should never replace actual lighting fixes

thats just gonna ruin every lighting condition

yeah reshade from the default GAMMA, nothing tweaked or added

[north turret]

Even with reshade off vanilla GAMMA had washed out nights. Like it was dark enough. But the black point was too high so everything was grey

[austere mortar]

thats just reshade... it cant read ur weather or light configs it just does some shit on top of everything and makes it look weird, if u fix nights to be dark then daytime will be weird 🤷‍♂️

[slender peak]

i like the daytime etc conditions as it is and forcing contrast or gamma too far will make everything unbalanced

i know its possible to have 100% black wihtout it since some mods have done that well enough

[north turret]

I guess everybody's monitor is different and requires different tuning. For me I had to set rs_c_contrast and gamma to 1.0 to match the screenshots of vanilla that others were posting.

[austere mortar]

he already said why changing overall contrast or gamma wont keep everything balanced and hes right

[slender peak]

clearly the issue is either or both baked lightmaps and too much intensity in ambient lighting

not screenspace

[austere mortar]

its not lightmaps...ah w/e

[slender peak]

which is why i said either or

i havent been prodding at the files to confirm this

[north turret]

Tuning my nights didn't really change my days at all. Other than make shadows a bit darker.

[dapper matrix]

thanks!

[slender peak]

repairing weapons at a technician doesnt fix them getting jammed after 1 shot every time

atleast my sks, tried it several times repairing broken sks and jams after each shot

[sturdy bridge]

Guys is this suppose to be normal, the red multiplier?

[sturdy stone]

So I’m not the only one having random jams? I thought I was cursed. Can’t even get a full mag out of a freshly repaired gun without a jam

[slender peak]

yeah, im seriously thinking of going back to Expedition, just tooooo many issues comparatively

[sturdy stone]

I’m still salty about losing my 30 day invictus run cause of it

[slender peak]

😬

[mental lion]

i have the trouble of making a new game. the load screen appears but then crashes

[compact coral]

yup

there are some mods that already give you more movement speed outside of the chara skills

if the multiplier were to be green you would be sonic in the zone

[sturdy bridge]

I guess expecting that

[north turret]

Try clicking the MD5 button in the gamma installer and see if it shows an error after scan.

[exotic hemlock]

oh you make a good point, some monitors just have really bad color ratios, or sometimes even just have a bad coverage of blacks and greys

is why i make sure every monitor i buy has amazing color ratio- muh colors

(Thos for some reason the shade of blue that discord uses appears purple on some of this monitor's settings)

[radiant summit]

If my CPU is not capped, my VRam is not capped, my GPU is not capped, and my RAM is not capped, why can I only reach like 30 or so fps in cordon, for example?

I removed reshade altogether and toned down a few settings

[north turret]

I use an OLED so most games I have to lower contrast to get good blacks

Otherwise the blacks look more grey

[subtle quail]

how much Enhanced shaders mod affects performance on avg?

[exotic hemlock]

Immm not sure what mine is- i havent looked in a bit. I think its a DELL 32 inch tps monitor with 4000:1 color ratio (Which someone said actually means 4,000,000:1?? but i didnt go too deep into that just saaw 'good color' and was like hell yerah) Its gorgeous for plenty of games- including stalker. Genuinely love the ability to hot swap between Cold and warm color settings because imo some areas in stalker look AMAZING if you add cold colors and some look amazing with warm colors etc etc. Though some may call me looney for this im sure

[north turret]

Ok I think you're out of my realm of knowledge now. Are you using the latest installer version?

[warped ginkgo]

Sure about CPU? remember stalker uses only 1 core of whole cpu

[radiant summit]

I've disabled core 0 already

[warped ginkgo]

maybe one is at 100% already

[radiant summit]

One sec lemme screencap

[warped ginkgo]

i use rivatuner to see all the cores usage, theres always one who is 100% while playing

[north turret]

You are using Anomaly version 1.5.2 right?

[mental lion]

yup

[warped ginkgo]

!k98

[raw raft]

Please copy the contents of: GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches to your Anomaly folder, replace all if asked. Here is a picture for reference: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012510897136222293/1013951079538495528/k98.png

[north turret]

Just based of your log I'm guessing that Boomsticks and Sharp sticks didn't download correctly, but I'm not experienced enough to say for sure that's it.. I mean if you get no other answers try redownloading BaS and replace the one in gamma/downloads

[radiant summit]

that's a fix?

[warped ginkgo]

No its for the other

[radiant summit]

ah

[warped ginkgo]

you sure its all the cores you have un your CPU?

[radiant summit]

I have an intel i5 6500

Yeah I have 4 cores

[mental lion]

ok 👍

[north turret]

How do you know by his crash log that he needs the k98 fix? I'm just trying to learn troubleshooting better.

[radiant summit]

My CPU is kind of old but I'm not sure an i5 6500 is too little for stalker

[compact coral]

when you get errors like that it usually means you didnt download the gamma update correctly
