check if you are irradiated, the limbs health, the bleeding

[muted vale]

Will do, in the meantime I’m gonna solo assault the machine yard with my 1911 in one hand and my dick in the other

[signal surge]

@willow hawk very important question, can I stop and continue the mod download process? or do I start over?

[willow hawk]

You close the launcher. Downloads will start at the point you left last time. Failed downloads will be relaunched

[signal surge]

oh thank you so much!

this totally makes up for the non minimizeable issue

[willow hawk]

Launch another desktop

Windows key + Tab > New Desktop (at the top)

[signal surge]

yeah I did that, pretty good workaround

[signal kraken]

@willow hawk When downloading updates will GAMMA remember what mods we have active and inactive in MO2?

[willow hawk]

Nope. Modlist will be replaced

You can back up your original modlist

[signal kraken]

shid

[willow hawk]

If you update > install, everything will be setup like the base GAMMA

if you just want one addon to be updated, update it manually yourself ;)

You can also duplicate the GAMMA profile

In MO2

And name it GAMMA modded

[signal kraken]

And that just saves load orders and mod selections right?

[willow hawk]

Yup

That way you can click update install in the GAMMA installer

So that new add-ons are installed but you can keep your modlist safe 👍

[signal kraken]

How do you duplicate profiles?

[willow hawk]

Copy paste in profiles ;)

[signal kraken]

Oh.

[willow hawk]

And rename the copy of GAMMA

[signal kraken]

I knew that, I was just testing you to make sure you did

[willow hawk]

There must be a solution from the MO2 interface though

[willow hawk]

[signal kraken]

Here?

[willow hawk]

Yrs

[muted vale]

Have RF Receivers been changed by this mod pack? I’m trying to find a hidden package in the SW part of Great Swamps using a frequency. I’ve got the beeps, but I’ve got a second beep too, and then sometimes Morse code (I think)

[remote kestrel]

How do I open the debug menu now? f7 doesnt work

[chrome kettle]

I think its disabled by default

[winged scaffold]

@signal kraken nice wallpaper, what mods do you play with HBS battletech?

[solid coral]

How do you unjam a weapon?

[muted vale]

Press r twice

[solid coral]

oh okay, thanks.

[tidal raft]

@golden wigeon With adequate psy-resistance you can safely farm Resistance XP for Haruka's Skills mod by idling in a psychic field. Intended?

[golden wigeon]

I'm reworking survival a bit

[solid coral]

I don't truly know how the Skills work tbh. There's like four of them and I'm not sure what they do.

[tidal raft]

If you're talking about the "K" menu:

Strength:
Levels are gained for traveling with heavy loads.
Grants: increased carry weight and melee damage.

Endurance:
Levels are gained by traveling light.
Grants: increased stamina and speed.

Scavenging:
Levels are gained by killing stalkers.
Grants: increased drops from stalkers.

Survival:
Levels are gained by taking damage.
Grants: increased damage resistance.

[solid coral]

Do these actually work on the whole addon pack?

Like the benefits from scavenging and endurance?

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[solid coral]

O_O

[tidal raft]

I've maxed out strength which gives +15kg weight capacity.
I've noticed my stamina lasting much longer at Lv. 11. Never depletes even with medium armor and no stamina regen buffs. (starts depleting at over encumbered though)

I've certainly noticed better drops across the board since I raided the research institute in Agroprom. Got lots of levels there.

[solid coral]

what is max level

[tidal raft]

Fifteen for all.

[solid coral]

o

[tidal raft]

Strength = 1kg carry capacity per level

Don't have any hard numbers on the rest though. Haven't peeked at the scripts.

[solid coral]

Also for a more in depth question, I wanted to ask: how exactly do you manually repair a weapon/piece of armour?

I'm having trouble with that.

[tidal raft]

Two main ways.

One is cleaning up the firearm by increasing its durability. You can do this by paying a mechanic to "repair" the weapon, or by using a weapon kit. Depending on how far the weapon has degraded your only choice might be to hand it to a mechanic.

Two is replacing the individual weapon parts. You can find other firearms of similar class and "Field Strip" them for parts. You should only hold on to parts =>60% quality. Most tools for repairing parts stop working below 60%. When you have decent enough parts, you can Field Strip your own desired weapon and, drop the fresh parts onto it.

Field Strip doesn't remove the barrel though, so if you have to replace a barrel you must have a matching weapon kit to replace it at a mechanics workbench, which you can rent for 1000 RU for five minutes.

If you find a barrel you want from another firearm you must disassemble it using a multitool. This will destroy the weapon in the process, so be careful.

Armours work similarly. Unlike firearms however, armours don't accrue defects with degraded materials. Therefore both replacing parts and repairing the durability will restore both parts and durability together.

These require armour repair kits to replace parts. Getting the parts, however, is more difficult than that of firearms since killed stalkers rarely drop their worn armour.

[solid coral]

Oh

Thank you so much.

[tidal raft]

You're welcome.

Well.. good hunting, stalker.

[solid coral]

I still don't know which faction to play as lol

Loners are too generic and I kind of want to try something else other than them. Suggestions?

[tidal raft]

Depends. If you like to start fairly strong you can try Mercenary since they have nice body armours and the MP7/UMP.

But you'll be fighting against pretty much everyone.

[solid coral]

don't you mean just dutiers + military and monolith?

loners become buddies after brain scorcher is disabled

pretty much Freedom-faction relations with others xD

[tidal raft]

You start out by being hostile to Military, Loners, Duty, and Monolith. I haven't played Merc enough to know if they actually have a change of relations scripted after the scorcher.

[solid coral]

they do

otherwise no story mode xD

I wish there was a modified version of faction relations, where Freedom and Mercs are enemies to Bandits.

However that's just me though.

[tidal raft]

I enjoy being a loner. Having high goodwill with several factions is a good way to find a wider variety of weapon attachments and utilities. Also getting shot at less often.

[tidal raft]

Oh yeah, I forget several NPCs are loners throughout that questline.

[north turret]

there is a mod for it

where mercs are friendly eith duty and loners

but enemies to bandits

[solid coral]

ew, friendly with duty

🤢

[near vault]

is stuff like FOV and HUD_FOV already properly configured?
i remember some of the gun mods needing a specific setting on those two

[willow hawk]

Follow the big beeps

[willow hawk]

You can also simply "use" any toolkit to open the mobile workbench

[willow hawk]

Yes

[crimson dune]

whats best for making money? field strip guns and sell the parts to mechanic? then disassemble and sell the scrap?

[willow hawk]

Tasks and selling valuable items

Parts won't make you a lot of money and they can be rather heavy

Sell medical supplies, watch and jewelery boxes, mutants parts to butcher in garbage, artefacts to Sakharov in Yantar.

Keeping all mutants parts on you to give to stalkers to finish their tasks is really lucrative

You can also cook mutant meat and sell it (I think you can make money that way, but you need to check depending on the price of the water)

[crimson dune]

Cool!

the 1st tier of food don't need water

which is cool

what's goin on here?

oh another update, hehe time to update again!

[willow hawk]

Yup this should fix this ;)

[solid coral]

Just wondering but why won't traders/stalkers buy guns?

[willow hawk]

The hack I used for them to not sell guns and armors does that. Not a big deal since you don't swim in lots of sellable guns or armors anyway

[solid coral]

Ah okay.

[willow hawk]

You don't make money by selling those. Artefacts and tasks are easy enough money

[solid coral]

Yeah I know, but sometimes I kind of want to sell a weapon to make some extra money if I get a much better one in it's place.

Fair enough though.

[willow hawk]

Check Garbage to Wild Territory physical + electro anomalous field, there's always one or two artifacts there

[tidal raft]

I learnd somefin!

[covert geyser]

What does "compananion_tweaks" do?

nvm just checked the gamedata

[crimson dune]

i think it increases their carry weight and looting behavior

[covert geyser]

yep thats it

[brisk zinc]

A question about updating manually, I'm following the guide in "install" and it says "**copy **its content"

Question is: can I cut and paste it directly to "mods"? Or do they need to be inside "modpack_addons" folder at all times?

[willow hawk]

You copy what's in modpack add-ons to mods

After clicking update GAMMA data in the installer

You'll have all the updated GAMMA add-ons without updating the other add-ons of the pack

If you want the newest version of everything : update > install in the installer

Why would you cut and paste ?

[elder lintel]

Simple question: Should it be safe enough to update mid save? Or will I lose my save? Literally just managed to repair my first rifle after like 10 hours of gameplay, so it would suck to lose it lmao Thanks 🙂

[regal veldt]

i updated mid save and its fine

you gonna have to reset your settings tho , and keybinds

at least that was it for me

[elder lintel]

Alright thanks! I may do a backup of everything just in case.

[brisk zinc]

Because I don't get it why I need the same files inside two folders, hence the question, it's wasted storage 👀

[willow hawk]

It's safe

[willow hawk]

It's wasted 100mo

[elder lintel]

Thanks 🙂

[tidal raft]

méga-octets? haven't heard nor read that before

[remote kestrel]

Im trying to open the debug console and its not working. Is there something in the gamma launcher im supposed to use?

[tidal raft]

You have to check "Debug Mode" box in the Anomaly Launcher.

[willow hawk]

French 🥖

Much more precise than B that can be Bytes or Bits....

[tidal raft]

French exceptionalism?

[willow hawk]

Which is like a 8 fold difference

[tidal raft]

It's about context.

[crimson dune]

is random stutters normal? they last from 1-5 seconds, as i roam around, i guess around bases

[regal veldt]

depends on your hardware and settings, yeah

things load in , the more stalker / mutants , the more your CPU must load

and RAM as well

[crimson dune]

hm.. i saw a tip to turn off cpu 0 for xray engine

seems to be.. better?! 😮

[regal veldt]

for me it doesnt work

i mean i get the same performance

[crimson dune]

hmm, well i also turned off chrome to save resources, that could also be it

random freezes i think is a CPU issue

[weak kayak]

it's something that has always been there. Misery had it also

[regal veldt]

what is your mutant and stalker pop

[crimson dune]

default is .6 and .6 on zcp

[regal veldt]

huh idk i dont have that kind of stuttering

do you use HD modiels?

[crimson dune]

no, everything default

i have it installed on an HDD

i thought that would affect loading time more than random stutter tho

[regal veldt]

hm with old games it could be like that

[signal kraken]

It's been so long since I've played I don't really remember, I'm not even sure I had mods. If I did it would be things that make values for weapons and armor match table top values

[cursive dagger]

I can't seem to find a list of the weapons BaS adds. Is it more than vanilla Anomaly with tacticool variants included?

Just curious cause I'm a mega slut for weapom variety

[warped ginkgo]

the bas page has the weapons list and images

[cursive dagger]

Oh I'm retarded how did I miss that

Thanks

[signal kraken]

Wanted to circle back on this for all the big brains in here, will these conflicts cause any issues?

[warped ginkgo]

zcp isn't meant to go with warfare alife i think

[snow scroll]

Can be run with it, i think mino did a lot of testing ans talked with dph to get settings that can be used without affecting it

Idk which are these as i didn't pay attention to that

[signal kraken]

What about the DUX's conflict?

Seems like I could turn ZCP off without issue and turn on warfare since it doesn't look like ZCP touches anything else

[warped ginkgo]

i think you need to merge it with dltx storylines for some npcs that are new

[signal kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-oh-boy-awkward-confused-what-gif-9999457

[signal kraken]

You think there would be an issue if I'm only playing Warfare as opposed to Story + Warfare?

[muted vale]

Has anyone else found advanced tools yet? I just found my 3rd set of basic tools which is awesome, but I’ve got some guns I’m dying to test out, but I need the small bore rifle kit to do that and I can’t make those till I find the damn tools

[near vault]

better idea to keep the tools or to give em to technician?

[regal veldt]

well , i always give my faction's mechanic the 1st set

the others you can keep cause u can use them yourself

if u got the parts

[elder lintel]

Yep, I did. Found two Basic and one Advanced so far. And plenty of Drug Making kits and the Gunsmith kit thing.

[muted vale]

Do you remember where you found the advanced tools? I’ve got 4 basic kits, 2 drug making kits and 2 gunsmith tools. I haven’t gone further north than Rostok though, so it could be that

[elder lintel]

Hmmmm

I am preeeeetty sure it was Agroprom, in a stash.

[willow hawk]

Rare stashes most likely

[willow hawk]

You should be able to find some in Agroprom / Truck Cemetery / Yantar / AW. Be sure to farm stashes 👍

Rare stashes (violet ones) should be able to yield those

[heady lichen]

Hi, i just installed the pack as instructed and with a new game i load in everything is just black? Tried tweaking the lumscale and tonemap a bit but didnt change anything

Any ideas?

[warped ginkgo]

type cfg_load grading_default in the console

[weak kayak]

How is radiation working? Is it a middleground between vanilla and Arzi's Rad overhaul?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[heady lichen]

! Cannot open script file [grading_default.ltx]

[warped ginkgo]

something installed wrong probably, search for enhanced shader grading in the modlist and reinstall manually, or try to reinstall gamma again

[heady lichen]

Alrighty

Thanks ill try

[heady lichen]

Yap reinstalling did the trick. Thanks lauta

[supple delta]

How do you get into the debug menu? I saw an F7 somewhere in a message, but that doesn't work for me.

[willow hawk]

Launch the Anomaly launcher, tick debug. Close it. Launch the game in your preferred DX

[supple delta]

Thanks! Your work is amazing.

[signal kraken]

The new update installed all of these again, I'm assuming I should turn on the new set of files and get rid of the old?

[scarlet furnace]

So, perhaps a smoothbrain question.

I want to remove an item from my inventory via console commands or from file explorer.

How would I go about doing that?

The reason I ask is namely because of some bullshit about having two wallets in my inventory.

[willow hawk]

Remove the ones with 25 version

[willow hawk]

No luck with in game solutions you need to write a script in LUA

[scarlet furnace]

How tf do I do that?

[willow hawk]

You don't

[scarlet furnace]

i SeE

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-impostor-kms-over-gif-18557102

[signal kraken]

My version is 10/19/2021, newest version. Assuming that's correct

[rotund mulch]

I don't have much experience with stalker modding, but loading 200 mods one by one like that will take...full day? maybe more, are there any other options? why moddb so scared of torrent?

[warped ginkgo]

you mean the launcher downloading the mods 1 by 1 will be too long?

[rotund mulch]

yeah, i guess there's reason for that, but i kinda expected that they all included in modpack download and only needed installation

[steep siren]

@rotund mulchIt depends on your internet connection. I installed the pack this morning in less than 1 hour.

[rotund mulch]

i started about half an hour ago and looks like i just restarted downloading third mod on the list, i have no idea why it's that slow

i mean, problem is on my side, internet is fine, but even if i try to manually downloading anything from moddb it takes ages, max speed is like 350 kb/s

idk why

[steep siren]

That is strange

Maybe try this: If you have troubles downloading the files (receiving TSL SSL errors), you can replace the installer in .Grok's Modpack Installer by this one: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/raw/main/G.A.M.M.A. Installer.exe

[cursive dagger]

What are the goodwill thresholds for new loot to show up at faction traders? I am certain it's the same in base anomaly but it seems like either every 300 or every new relatioship status

[rotund mulch]

thanks, will try

[rotund mulch]

for some reason moddb decided that i live in us and was defaulting to us mirror for downloading

is there any way to force launcher to download mods from EU mirror?

[willow hawk]

500 1000 1500 2000

[cursive dagger]

thanks Grok

[near vault]

uh

[near vault]

theres no EU mirrors for anomaly moddb afaik

[rotund mulch]

My speed on those two 7-8 times faster then launcher :с

[near vault]

oh wait

theres eu mirrors

i couldve sworn when i tried to change mirriors eu wasnt an option

but yea same

[rotund mulch]

@willow hawkcan i just manually drop archives with mods in "downloads" folder in "STALKER G.A.M.M.A RC1" and then launch installer or it will brake something?

[willow hawk]

Yes you Can its planned for

[slate tree]

is GAMMA economy what controls the 'no guns' at trader thing?

[north turret]

yes

[heady lichen]

Have anyone discovered how to unjam the weapons without upening the inventory? R just puts the weapon away and pulls it out again for some reason

[paper whale]

ye here you go #│💻keybinds-in-gamma message

[heady lichen]

OH

Well i suppose i should be lookin around in zere zank u sir

[muted vale]

I’ve had a few instances where I’ve found a weapon in perfect condition. Is this part of bounty squads?

[modern fern]

step 8 of the installer mentions a gamma shortcut? was this auto generated? Also the only thing I'm seeing is the gamma installer which i've already completed, but i'm seeing no kind of GAMMA launcher anywhere

[buoyant cosmos]

That shortcut didn't appear for me neither, but it's just a shortcut to ModOrganizer2, don't worry

[modern fern]

appreciate it but even when opening it no mods are populated. did i botch configuring stalker to the organizer?

[warped ginkgo]

in my case, a gamma shortcut appeared in my edsktop

[modern fern]

I just had to purge everything lol. I don't know what i did or how but opening the mod organizer just shows an empty mod list. I had stalker anomaly on the desktop and attached it as such....but the organizer just isn't picking up the mods

[dark perch]

Did you make sure you made it so it's a "portable" version? That happened to me originally

[modern fern]

Well i'll keep it in mind, I trying from step one again. I just had two different instances and no clue how to fix that mess...

[rotund mulch]

Installer didn't create dekstop shortcut for me too, launching game from MO2 worked fine for me (but i did some dances and praying, manually downloading mods, on third reinstall everything finally started working)

You can also create shortcut from MO2 directly

[willow hawk]

Creating the portabe.txt file most likely

[visual valley]

Is it possible to make the workshops recognise your shash bag full of all your parts and kits when crafting? Having to put all my stuff in my inventory to craft with it is kind of a pain in the ass, especially when I find I'm missing something and have to put it back to go to the workshop owner cos I'm overencumbered to buy that extra grooming kit or something 😒

[willow hawk]

Hard to do and potentially bug inducing

It would be super good though

[visual valley]

Honestly all I want in this game is to hire a small room for ridiculous money to keep my stash and have a workshop in, not really lore breaking considering you're the one who brings most of the mechanics their tools lmao

[willow hawk]

Just make a stash and use your toolkits to open the mobile workbench for free

Right click any toolkit and click use

[near vault]

all the other toolkits in ur inventory will be added to ur personal "workbench" and u can craft and work anything u would in a vice

[willow hawk]

Move all your stash items into your inventory and then ditch them all by holding shift and moving your cursor on items

[willow hawk]

Yes works like a vice

[near vault]

epic feature honestly

[willow hawk]

Checking every tool you have in your inventory etc

Works in the wild too

[near vault]

i do have some questions about the sleep balance grokitty

[willow hawk]

So you can craft ammo or meds on the go

Yes ?

[visual valley]

Still gotta carry all your shit with you though tbh

[near vault]

so i dont know if u still remember since u prolly set this up some time ago but in the sleep balance file the
local in_hour = 750-- amount decreased every sleep hour
means how much sleepiness you recover for each hour you sleep right

so decreasing this value would mean that you need to sleep longer

[willow hawk]

I reduced the weight of crafting tools :)

Store all your parts and stuff in a stash and repair stuff while you are at your stash

Craft stuff there too

[near vault]

youll usually have some time leftover in the evenings of each day because of the way sleep is set up so thats perfect to use for maintaining and crafting items and equipment

[willow hawk]

I plan on making a "Resident evil like" stash system: pay a price depending on the map to make a stash that opens a global stash inventory 👍

This will make crafting much easier

Potentially game breaking in terms of balance but the price should be high enough so you don't spawn a stash in the wild just to get access to your stuff...

[visual valley]

Ah yeah I do but there's all the weapon kits for different weapons and all the barrels and gun internals I've harvested to cerry around which is a lot of stuff
I could carry around only the stuff I need but then it becomes a micromanaging nightmare tbh

[regal veldt]

yeah , i keep my main stash in my base, whenever i find some good shit , i will take it back , fix stuff then move on to quests

[near vault]

that would be incredibly convenient

[regal veldt]

when im ready to take on the main quest , i will , but for now

[visual valley]

I'd fucking love that

[regal veldt]

for now , i found an exosuit

but is 16%

[willow hawk]

Good luck fixing it

[regal veldt]

and i literally found no tools so far ....

yeah lmao

also i wont cheese the vodka quest

[visual valley]

Lmao don't think of using that thing for another 30 hrs

[regal veldt]

@willow hawk my advice would be to change the vodka berill

to give u smth else

maybe a helmet instead of idk

a sphere 08

[near vault]

get your amazon drone to bring you your stash

[willow hawk]

Did you checked all the stashes ?

[willow hawk]

That's exactly what the system will be about

[regal veldt]

yeah , i just got unlucky , but iw ill find some dont worry

[willow hawk]

"Zone Delivery System"

[regal veldt]

there are like 5 stashes marked on my map in the swamps which im gonna search now

here is hoping

[visual valley]

Charge for it @willow hawk I don;'t mind paying 10000 every time I switch locations to have my stuff delivered to me

It's a rich mans service

It's basically hiring maybe 3 loners to deliver heavy shit to me whenever I want, In RL I'd charge a lot for it too

[regal veldt]

i mean would be cool if you could hire couriers indeed, and maybe pay extra for extra guns/security , and have chance for the guy to die and get a quest marker (gps tracker) to retrieve it yourself

[visual valley]

More mission types is definitely welcome

[regal veldt]

yeah but honestly it sounds like a very big hassle to script so ....xD

[willow hawk]

Rare stashes should often have one

[willow hawk]

What is your question ?

[willow hawk]

Don't carry all of this on you. Just store that in a stash

[near vault]

im just wondering if i understand the config correctly

[willow hawk]

The idea is 10k * map multiplier

Cordon is 10k, CNPP would be 150k or something

[visual valley]

Nah I do but I still stash my shit at one point in the map which means I gotta go back each time I wanna do ammo crafting or upgrades or whatever

[willow hawk]

Another way to spend money

[near vault]

that would be a most convenient money sink

[willow hawk]

Yep, that's how it's supposed to be, travel a lot

Ok I'll start working on it

[near vault]

[regal veldt]

@willow hawk got a question too , is the metamizoule ampoule thing supposed to bring up your leg health but drop ur head and torso?

[willow hawk]

Yes more or less

It's cheap and gives huge damage res

So there gotta be a drawback

[regal veldt]

yeah makes sense, but imo you should buff the military and the scientific stimpack a bit

to heal a bit more limbs

since they are kinda rare / expensive healing items

[willow hawk]

Also gives a cool bleeding cure so that's a nice one to pop up at the start of a fight

[willow hawk]

True

[visual valley]

God bless you mang

[visual valley]

any way to increase anti aliasing in Anomaly? I went from 4 to 8 in menu but it still doesn't cover the aliasing happening around leaves on trees and other places

[regal veldt]

did u restart the game?

[visual valley]

Yup, did it at start of my plathrough

I'm hoping there's a reshade antialias option I can just enable

Or maybe even a NVIDIA control panel option for it?

[regal veldt]

u can only try , i dont fiddle with that as idk what is a fps drop or not

i have anti aliasing off i think

[visual valley]

Off? Damn what resolution you playing at?

[regal veldt]

1080p

but indeed i dont notice any fps drops

hmm maybe ill keep it on

turned those on

[visual valley]

The MAJOR point for me is the bushes and the leaves, all other AI can just shoot through them sometimes and without antialiasing it's just a blur of jaggies when I try to see through the bushes

Yeah I think stock don't really demand much resources

I just need that extra cos trees and bushes are still jaggy quite a bit

[visual valley]

Is it possible to keep the radio on after fast travelling or going past map boundaries? Annoying to have to remember to turn them back on or play in silence

[oak nova]

Guys, I am installing Gama rn, where i put mods from this list? (txt is located in)

[warped ginkgo]

they should automatically install in 'mods' tho

[willow hawk]

No there's no way to really fix it. Biggest fix would be larger leaves and grass, maybe @oak kite will do it 👍

[oak kite]

def one of my pet peeves with anomaly, looks so gawdamn grainy and sharp around foliage.

[oak kite]

Alls i would need to do is make it larger ? Figured there would be more.

[willow hawk]

There's no way to make the antialasing better in Anomaly.

Other implementation could work, but the trees would likely be super fuzzy

[willow hawk]

If you make larger leaves and branches it should be much better

Best way to see through bushes is to zoom in...

Or just move around if you are fired from bushes

[tidal raft]

Or good ol' explosives..

[modern fern]

Does one drive kinda screw over the install process if you’re trying to make a fresh install of everything if you’ve had previous anomaly MO2 instances?

[rotund mulch]

I don't have one drive, but if you think it might cause problems with installation - just kill it temporary (giga brain, i know)

[modern fern]

Hell I deleted it, the instructions are simple in the install channel however I’ve uninstalled/ deleted 3 times already because the mods were not activated OR they were activated but when launched the mods weren’t active in game, on boot it was the same as vanilla anomaly

[rotund mulch]

Very strange, only thing that comes to mind is deleting profile in MO2, running installer again and then launching from MO2 directly but i think you did that already

If you have other profiles in MO2 for anomaly try deleting them too, have no idea what's wrong, honestly

[oak nova]

Em , i have a problem with shaders compilation the errors says to check up the log files so:

is it this one?

[modern fern]

Well I feel the installer goes with the understanding that you have some degree of comprehension with modding so perhaps I’m missing a basic step or two that wasn’t consider because of redundancy. So I’m just trial and erroring till it works hopefully. I’ll list what I’ve done as I do it and hopefully my mistake will be brought to my attention while saving another the possible trouble as well.

[oak nova]

solved, ive deleted shader caches

No, i was only able to run it again, but the screen flashes black and wait when in game

fuck me

[willow hawk]

Just use the user.ltx file of GAMMA 👍

It's in Grok's Modpack Installer GAMMA modpack_patches

[oak nova]

cfg_load grading_default worked

[willow hawk]

Ah cool

[oak nova]

where can i find that file?

did you just

pre answered my question

[willow hawk]

Yee

I'm that strong

[near vault]

the ways of grok are beyond your understanding

[oak nova]

he stronk

he wise

And em, are there any Video setting i must not touch at all, i ended up frying me own eyes with stroboscope shader bug after messing with graphics options

[willow hawk]

Touch graphic options only if you want to have a higher Framerate

Everything is customized for good graphics

Or.... It should

[oak nova]

after i figure everything out i will be half blind

or

do you know what are the most processing heavy settings?

[tidal raft]

Anti-aliasing, grass density, and HBAO

Screen Space Reflections can also be very taxing.

[oak nova]

Thanksss

Btw, whats the hotkey for turning on lasers?

[tidal raft]

L #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[oak nova]

thing is it doesnt work

fml you have to hold the button for some time

shhhhit

thanks anyway

[near vault]

just L is for headlamp holding is for laser

[zinc roost]

this would be awesome, last night I had to leave all my guns and crafting shit in garbage because I couldn't walk anymore. And I still ended up just raising my carrying capacity in MCM because I somehow got overencumbered again on the way to rostok. literally 90% of my playtime last night was inventory management lol

[near vault]

ive been dealing with that by stashin away excess meds/food/ammo

[zinc roost]

yeah I've been stocking up on food/water especially whenever I see a trader. which I'm now realizing is insanely heavy, but I actually really need it

also I've been snagging matchbooks whenever I see them and somehow amassed like 1kg

matchbook weight in particular seems really unbalanced

[near vault]

vodka is also a huge carryweight detriment

[zinc roost]

learned this the hard way in vanilla stalker lol. I don't even pick it up anymore

[near vault]

u mean matchbox?

[zinc roost]

yeah

especially when you need them to save they seem extremely heavy

[near vault]

i got 3 and theyre 0.08

doesnt seem excessive to me

[zinc roost]

hmm according to amazon 3 match boxes weighs 1lb (0.45kg) which would make one 0.15kg

nevermind

[oak nova]

When opening the npc inventory, game keeps crashing

How do i fix it?

[near vault]

first of all ya wanna go fetch the crash logs

[oak nova]

okey where are those logs?

Anomaly>appdata>logs?

[near vault]

yep

[oak nova]

If thats the one , then i see theres an error with harru skills mod

should i disable the mod in the MO?

[near vault]

hol up

do you have 2 haru skill mods in your load

one at the bottom and one at its designated position?

[oak nova]

em

no idea, the mod download was automaticly done

[near vault]

just check

[oak nova]

in the mods folder?

or MO?

[near vault]

mo

scroll all the way down and look for haruka skill something

[oak nova]

tftf

[near vault]

yea thats because of the way updates work

[oak nova]

why is it here

[near vault]

no worries

just move it to its numbered position

do the same for perk based artefacts

[oak nova]

ok, the mags mod aswell

?

[near vault]

and when you put them there there should be an older version of the mod in that position and you wanna uncheck that one and check the new version

well if you wanna use that mod

it introduces a magazine system similar to that in tarkov

if that rings any bells

means you have to do decide what magazines to put in your outfit and you have to actually load them with bullets

[oak nova]

theres no older one

[near vault]

instead of just having loose bullets in your inventory

for haruka?

or the mag one

[oak nova]

rings as hell

[near vault]

?

[oak nova]

for all three of em

[near vault]

ah

tahts good then

so it didnt download any old versions

makes sense

just put them where they should be and activate them that should fix the issue i think

[oak nova]

so just grab em to their place?

ok

[near vault]

mags is optional

you can disable it if you dont wanna deal with it

[oak nova]

nahhh i was really courious about this one, happy totry it out

hows the wipe going for ya ?

[near vault]

lets not talk about it

had a bad streak last week and havent played much since

[oak nova]

same lol

back to the anomaly tho

it worked

[near vault]

[oak nova]

althought theres a problem

[near vault]

which is

[oak nova]

that i wished it would just disapear after restart

well, there are no hands , i cant handle any gun or pda

[near vault]

oh

hm

your save is still fresh right u havent done much

[oak nova]

yep

[near vault]

hm

can u open the menu?

[oak nova]

yep

[near vault]

pda and gun is equipped i take it

[oak nova]

?

[near vault]

like

youve equipped the stuff

in your inventoryy

sometimes i forget to equip the pda at the start and the wonder why i cant use it

[oak nova]

man

[near vault]

or can u not open it

[oak nova]

i aint new to stalker

i can open inventory

i can equip stuff

cant use it tho

[near vault]

i figured if i cant do it you might be retarded aswell

hm

[oak nova]

i guess you are more right than i would admit xD

[near vault]

theres different bugs with fdda and mags redux taht lead to locking you out of most interactions

[oak nova]

hm

lemme start new game

[near vault]

but to my knowledge those disappear after reloading

[tidal raft]

That's possibly the FDDA bug.

[near vault]

but doesnt that one disappear after loading the save?

[tidal raft]

It should, but it might persist. Loading an earlier save usually is the safest way to get rid of it.

[near vault]

i see

[oak nova]

save before the bug?

[near vault]

starting a new save is prolly even safer

[oak nova]

I am familiar with that bug, but it is more persistent than usual

[tidal raft]

If you somehow got the FDDA bug after eating, drinking, picking up loot, or other events that animate your hands it's most likely safest to load an earlier save.

[oak nova]

at this point , i cant use anything i cant interact with anyhting in the inventory , (i made new game )

thing is i have done nothing , it is like that from the start

[tidal raft]

[near vault]

[oak nova]

okay i can interact with inventory , but nothing more

[tidal raft]

And it is a fresh install of Anomaly with only GAMMA added on?

[oak nova]

oh i cant open the inv rn

[oak nova]

yep

[tidal raft]

Try exiting out of Anomaly and starting it up again.

Then make a new character (if it isn't too much of a progress loss).

[near vault]

didnt he just make a new one

[tidal raft]

(i made new game )
Right. Try that save again, but start a new one if the old one keeps locking up.

[oak nova]

it worked lol

[near vault]

magix

[oak nova]

i mean

kinda 0000000000

sooooo

when i try to reload , ()

ump45

[near vault]

did you add the mag to ur loadout?

[oak nova]

it does the animation of holstering and than getting it out again

[near vault]

right click it or drag it onto your outfit

thats the equivalent to putting it in ur rig in tarky

should work after that

[oak nova]

i have few mags

loaded mags

[oak nova]

tftf

lemme try

[near vault]

when u right click em it should give u the option of "add to loadout" or smthn like that

[oak nova]

oh it does work indeed

[near vault]

thats the whole functionality of mags redux

[oak nova]

so many features holy

[near vault]

its pretty cool

was a bit too much inventory management for me on top of all the other things

[oak nova]

i just ralized how exciting it will be to play stalker like that omfg

[oak nova]

well, depends on what you like i guess

[near vault]

yep

the modpack is very modular

[oak nova]

But anway, thanks for your help kind man

[near vault]

glad to help

[oak nova]

em

how does healing works in Groks mod???

my leg has ~1/4 hp, and i take damage from sprinting, i tried to use medkits, just to fill the bar to 3/4 (yellow colour) which just gets smaller over time and i take damage again

is that a feature?

[tidal raft]

Yes. It is a part of HBS

[near vault]

bhs*

its tarkov inspired

[tidal raft]

You heal up your broken limbs with medicine having the First-Aid property.

[near vault]

but its a lil different

[tidal raft]

While they are yellow you treat them again with another medicine with Post-Heal property.

[oak nova]

omg, theres HTAL and AL

[tidal raft]

Then they will stay white.

[near vault]

H - head A- arms L - Legs T -torso

[oak nova]

oooo

[near vault]

the circles tell u how much it heals

when u hover over a medical item and look at the hud in the bottom left it'll also give u a preview of how much healing it'll do

[tidal raft]

You can preview how much that heals on your UI while hovering over the medicine.

[oak nova]

oh god it so complex

[tidal raft]

ninja'd

[near vault]

[oak nova]

is it expensive to heal>?

[near vault]

you also heal when you sleep

but in gamma you can only sleep when youre actually tired

[tidal raft]

You tend to find lots of healing items.
In the very beginning it can be expensive.

[near vault]

so you cant just abuse sleep for healing

[tidal raft]

Paying a medic about 1,800RU will heal you up to full.

[near vault]

closest medic to loner start is the one at clear sky

[tidal raft]

If you start as a loner your first available medic will be in the Great Swamp.

[oak nova]

And rostok

[near vault]

unfortunately most of the items for limb healing are pretty hard to procure in cordon

[tidal raft]

God damn it Mike

[oak nova]

but, oooo wait

[near vault]

SUCK IT ALDO

[tidal raft]

[oak nova]

theres a mod , cozy campfire, does it heal like

everything ?

[near vault]

its there but

i havent noticed it doing anything tbh

granted ive never sat a a campfire for extended periods of time but

no it wont heal limb since the mods arent made for each other afaik

[oak nova]

it doesnt work at all...

[tidal raft]

It replenishes your body health.

[near vault]

does it actually tho

or is it just so little that you dont notice it

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

[tidal raft]

Or it might be my passive suit healing..

[near vault]

thats probably it

[tidal raft]

[oak nova]

lol

[steep siren]

How often are people normally consuming food in game? I cant keep the guy full, every 5 minutes I have the icon up and audio playing that the hungry shit needs feeding again.

[near vault]

i usually wait until yellow hunger before i eat

[slate tree]

depends on the food and how much stuff you are using that reduces ur food meter. MREs are really good in this from what I see compared to other food sources

[willow hawk]

Just watch your hunger bar

Eat like a proper full meal, not just a pack of beans

It's actually better than vanilla where you eat 2 cans of tomatoes a day

You need most likely about 700 to 1000kcal to clear the basic hunger icon and be full again

[near vault]

should i be trying to fill up the hunger bar?

[muted vale]

Pro tip - deliver Neimonoff vodka to Spirit at the Ecologist base in Yantar. After awhile he’ll give you chef’s notes which teach you how to make better meals with mutant meat and alcohol

[near vault]

you get all recipes from the start in gamma

[willow hawk]

Yes

[near vault]

oh i usually only eat when im at yellow

ig ive been doin it wrong

[tidal raft]

#╟❓general-offtopic message

[steep siren]

I just ate everything I had, had full hunger bar. I left the campfire in the south east corner of the swamp, spoke to the blokey who wants soil samples, went and got the closest sample, back to the campfire in the south east corner and I am complaining that I am hungry again.

I am all for some survival, but I dont seem to be able to find enough food to satisfy this bastard just yet haha. I will keep at it.

But he is one hungry motherfucker

[tidal raft]

Yep. Don't worry, you'll soon find food everywhere.

[near vault]

cooking flesh meat will prolly get u filled up quick

[slate tree]

if you are able to get to Rostok the bar is loaded with food on the tables. It respawns too (for now)

[willow hawk]

Did you use medical items ?

Some of them are making you hungry

[elder lintel]

Yeah, what Ninja Beetle says. Everytime I go to the bar it is filled with food and water, sometimes it feels a bit op because its just free food, and often lots. And you also find a lot on dead stalkers you kill, or you can cook mutant food too. It eventually gets easier to find food.

[oak nova]

So , is there any way to track like a reputation number which would let me know, when better stuff will be availeble at the traders?

[willow hawk]

Goodwill in the PDA

[slate tree]

traders by default restock every 3 days in progression difficulty in options too

[oak nova]

wait, if i reach certain number in goodwill , do i have to wait for the restock?

[slate tree]

yea

if you’d like to skip the wait you can set restock timer to its shortest (12 hours), and then go to sleep in game or something

[oak nova]

is there any chart, how much goodwill for next level traders?

[willow hawk]

500, 1000, 1500, 2000

[oak nova]

curently i am doing it via debug menu to figure it out

[oak nova]

ohhh thanksss

[near vault]

any particular reason why mask textures are disabled?

[willow hawk]

Avoid some issues with BHS

• cleaner hud

[near vault]

aah

fair

ive always found the breathing and stuff pretty immersive but thats unfortunate

[steep siren]

No, that time I had managed to avoid being destroyed. In fact it was the perfect little excursion, apart from being hungry as fuck all the time

[willow hawk]

You can just disable the GAMMA no mask texture

[near vault]

what are the bhs issues tho

[willow hawk]

Mask goes in front of the UI

[near vault]

ah

ok i thought it was something internal

[oak nova]

uhm, how to check ammo and the fire mode?

[slate tree]

you can hold F to check ur current ammo and what’s loaded + what’s in your mag, and fire mode is bottom left if you have the body health system going, click (I think) 9 on the keyboard to flip firing modes if your current gun can support it. Should go from “1” to “A” or “3”

[oak nova]

Ok so thats why my gun randomly folded sometimes

[slate tree]

if you are used to holding F down to basically give you supervision of items locations it’s a pain to unlearn

[oak nova]

and that is the meaning of A or 1 under the healing hud omfg

ty

[untold olive]

Is radiation supposed to deal so much damage to the armor? I go there into any rad zone for 2 seconds and lose 2% from my armor, is it because it only has 11% rad protection?

[slate tree]

i didn’t think rad anomalies did armor damage. I know the “dynamic” ones that can appear suddenly in locations are super deadly but that’s it. Which location is it in?

[untold olive]

Any as far as i can remember

[slate tree]

hmm not sure then. My armor doesn’t get armor damage as far as I know. Have you kinda cherry picked which mods you wanted and disabled a couple in GAMMA? If so maybe some kind of background interaction is going on with the rad damage

[untold olive]

Havent disabled any besides some visual ones, definitely not any that touch radiation, gonna check if it only happens in those dynamic rad spots

[slate tree]

does anyone know how you flip the geiger counter from monitoring your rads to rads around you?

[muted vale]

Shift+8

[slate tree]

thanks

Not sure what the issue is? I loaded the autosave that kicked in from the map transition and it was fine

Let me add it's nto habitual to crash on zone transitions. I get CTDs either from saving (rare), zone transitions, or combat. Those are the usual times I do

[modern fern]

Or perhaps I’m not configuring one thing correctly?

System specs and I’m having terrible frame rate even at the main menu. Is my computer able to handle it?

[icy gate]

that picture is missing some important details, like ram speed and gpu

[modern fern]

Damn thought I had everything

[rotund mulch]

Rtx 3070, probably

Specs are more than enough for anomaly

[modern fern]

Thanks, well, I tried lowering the visuals but the frame rate is god awful, unplayable. I was wondering what others have done to solve it. Tired searching the chat history under keywords but only found similar issues

[icy gate]

are you fine with other games?

[modern fern]

Played metro exodus enhanced edition on max settings easy

[icy gate]

check if anomaly is running on your gpu and not the integrated one

[rotund mulch]

One thing comes to mind - game might be using your integeated gpu

[modern fern]

So like…nivda or something and manually set it to it?

[icy gate]

yeah, you can add the .exe directly into the control panel
also make sure you are picking the correct one from mod organizer

[modern fern]

Appreciate it, spent the last 3 hours just trying to install it now this fps issue

[rotund mulch]

Your laptop costs slightly less then average russian makes in six months, sadge

[modern fern]

Think I got it, thanks a lot.

[solid coral]

any idea why I have these two?

and should I pick the 1.4 or 1.3

[cursive dagger]

1.4 is the most up to date

[willow hawk]

What about vanilla Anomaly?

[willow hawk]

Stick to the old one if you can or use the new one but disable gamma skill system balance I think

[solid coral]

oops

ok

[regal veldt]

@modern fern is your laptop running the game on your integrated gpu instead of your dedicated one?

Is a common issue for some laptops

[modern fern]

I made the changes on my Nivda control panel, was still giving issues but restarting the laptop did the trick and everything’s smooth. Next up figuring out all these cool features.

Thanks again @willow hawk
@ledy
@rotund mulch

[willow hawk]

[regal veldt]

[signal kraken]

How do you find this out?

[regal veldt]

usually in bios settings there should smth that makes u chose what graphics processor u want

and u can chose dedicated

but in NVidia control panel or AMD one , you can set programs to use specific gpu

use graphics processors > and is the name of your card

i had this problem on my old laptop on mine , piece of shit was running games on the integrated instead of the dedicated and i didnt know why i had 5 fps in dota

example

on default its on auto -select so yeah , sometimes he selects the wrong one

laptops do that to save power, if u watching youtube it wont use the dedicated GPU to waste power

[near vault]

thats in nvidia control panel right

[regal veldt]

yea

u can also go here and change to high performance if u want

some laptops dont have this tho

gaming laptops should

but it will drain ur battery

[signal kraken]

@regal veldt This look right?

Should I dedicate to PhysX? I'm not sure what that means

[regal veldt]

i dont touch that

at manage 3d settings

do the change i did above

at open GL rendering gpu line

[signal kraken]

It was originally set at auto-select

Should I switch it back?

[regal veldt]

what cpu do u have

only change it from auto select if u have integrated gpu

otherwise it wont do anything

since u are already running on the dedicated

[regal veldt]

yeah u do have integrated

i would switch it from auto select to your 1650ti

and press apply

or you can go from global settigns to program settings

and only select games u want from the list

to use that setting

[signal kraken]

If global applies to everything I'm cool with just leaving it to everything runs off the 1650

[regal veldt]

sure

[signal kraken]

I'm not real computer savvy when it comes to the technical parts of it

so whatever I can do to not fuck it up is good

[regal veldt]

u got a decent laptop honestly

should be fine

[signal kraken]

It's pretty new

I bought it this year

This is what I picked up

https://www.newegg.com/p/1TS-001A-02RX6

[regal veldt]

its a nice laptop tho kinda expensive

i mean here i thinki can get a 3060 laptop for 1200

but with only 16gb of ram and 500gb ssd

so yeah , yours offers alot for that money, good buy

[signal kraken]

Thanks, I got it for work, music production/mixing, and gaming

I've been very happy with it so far

[regal veldt]

I wish you the best Pupecki make sure you dust it off once in a few years

maybe every year if u can go to a local shop or whatever

[signal kraken]

Dust the internals?

I will suck the dust out with the force of 1000 whores

[buoyant hull]

what will happen if I accidentally canceled download of few addons ?

I was testing new keyboard and voala

[rotund mulch]

nothing bad i think, you probably will need to start installation again after, it will just download missing ones

[buoyant hull]

it will not go from total beginning ? cool ... cos that would kill me 😅

[signal kraken]

It will check all of the mods, but it won't download anything if it's up to date

[rotund mulch]

it will check if mods already downloaded, i can play only because of that, installer was downloading everything at like 150 kb/s for me

[willow hawk]

Hahahaha don't worry just launch the installer again as others said

[buoyant hull]

hm I just canceled Boomsticks and Sharpsticks cos I did not wanted it but installer started downloading it anyway 😄 Again 😛 ok, I was about to play yesterday anyway

[willow hawk]

It will be annoying to deactivate

Just ignore BAS guns you don't like ?

[buoyant hull]

np with BAS ... I wanted more vanilla guns ... but when it is there I will use it 🙂 coolio 😉

Q: do you plan to include also the other addon that adds extra entrance from cordon to darkscape ? Idk name, can research/find it

[willow hawk]

I don't know it. Post it in #old-suggest

[buoyant hull]

i have to play detective first I was using it last time when I was playing and not modding ... it was april or may I think

[covert geyser]

So uh how does the hip quest work now?

do i need to find a TOZ-194?

and restore it,

?

[cursive dagger]

I found the scoped TOZ-194 and teh ammo and did not need to restore it

she just took it

[covert geyser]

oh she needs a scoped one?

i tought any will do

[cursive dagger]

Yes

[covert geyser]

since it gave me the quest marker

[modern fern]

So, I’m aware of hit. I’m just curious why there hasn’t been female arm, voice, and picture preset addons for the player character, moddb only has 3 and they don’t cover everything.

Is it too difficult or is it just too outlandish and pandering.

I mean I can understand not adding weapon skins of little pony’s as an extreme example

[slate tree]

i think it’s just a matter of no one’s really dived deep and done all of it. Probably a lot of work to do it too because a majority would need to be custom, unless you used Hip as a base for everything regarding voice lines.

[willow hawk]

Enjoy replacing all voiced actor lines by females one + rework 70 arms models and textures

[modern fern]

Ha…. fair point

[signal kraken]

Girls don't exist in the zone

[modern fern]

Also, has anyone fully utilized all the medications in game? Every stalker Variation I’ve played I only used anti rad, first aid, bandage, and morphine. Does this mod pack put greater needs on the meds that say, give increased chemical resistance?

[modern fern]

Guess that’s why freedom has a thing for blood suckers

[signal kraken]

yes, healing is separated into first-aid and post healing. Use first aid to restore temporary damage which will be shown the by yellow lines on the HUD. Then use post-healing items to restore the yellow bars to white which is permanent healing

I think there might be a guide in the #│📚manual channel

Otherwise you can read about the system on the mod page here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/100-groks-body-health-system-redux-for-151

[modern fern]

Right right I did view the manual on how there are post healing things. I was referring to the meds that increase your radiation or chemical resistance for example or bleed. Seeing as in anomaly those meds were fairly useless due to the use of artifacts and simply not enough areas that require it

[signal kraken]

Uh, yes and no

The anti-rads might be more useful since the game has increased rad damages

But all meds are more useful in general due to BHS

[modern fern]

I’m still exploring myself so I’m just trying to learn now while at work

I got ya

[signal kraken]

I always end up carrying quite a few different meds types

as opposed to base STALKER games where it's only like 3 items

[modern fern]

Yea better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it I suppose

And the weight changes make that viable as well

[signal kraken]

Not all medical items heal the same amount and they don't all heal the same body parts, so you might end up carrying different meds to heal your head, torso, limbs, ect.

[modern fern]

I feel like modders are entering DayZ methods of first aid lol

Which was one thing I missed

Full on blood transfusions to deal with advanced rad poison

[cursive dagger]

I pop Yadulin like I pop chips into my mouth

Constantly

[modern fern]

Those first aid pills right?

I use to stash those to make survival kits

[cursive dagger]

Yeah they are post healing

Mostly head and torso a bit of arms and legs

[modern fern]

Ma B, questions turned discussion thanks again

[slate tree]

the tetanus vaccines and glucose shots I have never used in base anomaly but now in gamma I hunt them down like an addict

more needles please

[covert geyser]

ive got Epinephrine OD

help

i cant stop

[cursive dagger]

I found cocaine

It is mine

[covert geyser]

You took the first step to become a Freedomer

Does anyone know how to get "Nobody's Backpack"?

its on a tree in Agroprom

and i cant ssem to get it

[warped ginkgo]

[signal kraken]

Get a ladder

[slate tree]

there’s a couple stashes that are just flat out impossible to get normally like that bastard safe in yantar

[willow hawk]

Yes everything must be used with the body health system

[willow hawk]

Some medications are cool to resist some damages. Like Toxic res before diving into chemical Anomalies

[willow hawk]

SELL IT

[modern fern]

Thanks

[modern fern]

Isn’t that next to the base in the center of the map? Not the military base. If so I believe you reach it by jumping from the rooftop onto the pipes below that extend toward that tree, then hop onto one of the branches and walk to the trunk

[covert geyser]

nope its further away from the base

its there

[regal veldt]

yo @willow hawk what artefact mod does gamma use

because they ugh....kinda suck?

i tried installing artefact overhaul but it seems it doesnt change the stats, no crashe sbut doent change anyhting

[willow hawk]

Perk based artifacts

No they don't suck, it's just their description that fools you

Artefact overhaul is a joke....

[regal veldt]

nah its because i disabled that , thats why they suck

[willow hawk]

Ah

[regal veldt]

idk any ...ugh alternative?

[rotund mulch]

What do you mean?

[regal veldt]

maybe we could have an optional to perk based artis

[willow hawk]

GAMMA displays +6% defense

[regal veldt]

i thought artefact renovation sucked

art ovh is the cool one

iirc

[willow hawk]

Ah

Hum maybe

[regal veldt]

ye artefact renovatgion is the one that made u invulnerable xD

[willow hawk]

GAMMA will use ARX balance most likely

[regal veldt]

like gave u 2000% resist

i see , sounds promising

but why doesnt art ovh work tho

like it doesnt change the stats

[willow hawk]

But in the end... Even AR will be fine with my artfects rework

Whenever I have time to finish it......

[regal veldt]

its holidays now so take it easy

u can mod the rest of the 364 days

[willow hawk]

Cause getting 5 full empty will be hellish to get one 100% full empty

[covert geyser]

Why do artefacts disappear when i put them in a stash?

[warped ginkgo]

did you update gamma?

[covert geyser]

yep

[cursive dagger]

This happened to me too

It might only be "junk" artefacts

[buoyant cosmos]

Isn't there an option called "allow artifacts in Stash" Somewhere in MCM ? I suppose it has more to do with spawning artifact in Stashes but maybe it's like a side effect of that ?

I am not a modder and have no technical knowledge, so I'm most probably wrong

[near vault]

ive stashed artifacts and i dont think they disappeared 🤔

[honest tendon]

Grok, are your support links posted on this server?

[scarlet furnace]

What's the keybind for "take all"?

[willow hawk]

No :(

You can just go to the installer there's a html link next to it 🔗

[tidal raft]

Shift + T

[split sentinel]

can anyone give me a hint for "The Last Dawn - Take the scanner from the anomaly"? like a general location? The text says its south of the west tower but i cant realy find it

[sterile folio]

howdy, is there a channel I can ask for a bit of technical help?

[honest tendon]

probably this one or bugs for specifics

[visual valley]

I can't find it either, apparently you need a Svarog to detect it according to the ModDB page

[rotund mulch]

I did that quest on my second day i think

It's in swamps, right?

[slate tree]

anyone know what the star means?

[cursive dagger]

Favorited

[slate tree]

dont remember ever doing that, must have fat fingered it

[tidal raft]

It can happen.

[warped ginkgo]

around there

[split sentinel]

thanks i got it!

[honest tendon]

Has anyone seen the um

Floating black orb?

I saw one in Darkscape, it seemed like it was moving towards me, seemed sentient so I left thinking it was a new kind of poltergeist

[tidal raft]

It is.

They are pseudogeists.

[muted vale]

Can you customize the weapons and armor of companions? I’ve amassed a pretty good starting arsenal and armor stock that I’d like to give Hip on account of her upgrading her rank

[near vault]

they will use the "best" weapon in their inventory but they wont change outfits

[tidal raft]

I think speaking to them gives you a dialogue option to inspect their equipment.

[muted vale]

Yeah I’ve seen that but i haven’t seen anything in it; yet I’ve seen Hip use multiple different weapons, most often that 12 round shotgun and what I think is an RPK, but when I inspect her inventory it’s empty I

[tidal raft]

Does anyone know if Mercs, Monolit, or Freedom have loadouts containing the FN Five-seveN?

[willow hawk]

I think so yes

@tidal raft to be sure check the LTX from GAMMA NPC Loadouts

[tidal raft]

What's "greh"?

[willow hawk]

Sin

[tidal raft]

Hmmm..

[honest tendon]

Are there supposed to be so many controllers in the cordon because its so funny

[tidal raft]

I'm guessing Killer is merc

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

ZCP at its finest

[honest tendon]

its the second day and ive fought three

[willow hawk]

I kind of like it though cause controllers are annoying but not like get rekt heart attack simulator like Chimeras

[honest tendon]

its fantastic

[tidal raft]

So it's present in Merc, Sin, and ISG.
FML

[willow hawk]

ZCP tends to spawn too many of them but I don't know why... I have to contact ZCP author to sort it out

[willow hawk]

Ok I'll add it to Monolith

[honest tendon]

it doesnt feel overwhelming, usually I can predict when theyll appear based on dawn/dusk and locality of stalkers

[tidal raft]

You don't have to. It's only a sidearm and Mercs are still plentiful in midgame.

[willow hawk]

I would like more Bloodsuckers though

How frequent are they in the south since the last ZCP parameters update ? (About a week ago)

[honest tendon]

I haven't seen one, but based on network messages, they seem to be pretty normal and in the correct locations as before

I had some renegades panic about one in GS, so I figure it was probably the one that spawns in the north at night

[willow hawk]

Ok

[tidal raft]

Actually, is it as easy as just editing the .ltx? Using the same format as the three mentioned factions?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[tidal raft]

[willow hawk]

Add it in the Secondary weapon section though

[tidal raft]

Yes, of course.

[willow hawk]

Then send me the file

[tidal raft]

Sneaky—but I was going to offer it anyway.

[willow hawk]

[honest tendon]

what's the specific use of Field Stripping? Just to get internal parts for better inv management?

[tidal raft]

It lets you strip the internal parts of fire arms. In case you just want just the frame, or the parts themselves you can dump what you didn't want and save weight on your person.

[honest tendon]

oooh okay awesome, makes sense.

[willow hawk]

Strip parts without disassembly tool

Also, 100% chance to get all parts

(but the barrel)

[honest tendon]

oh thats cool, if I have a disassembly tool does it use its durability to strip parts?

[willow hawk]

Nope ;)

Only for disassembly

And parts repair

[honest tendon]

hell yea

[honest tendon]

Why does monolith have different patch designs through the games? Any reason?

[delicate wharf]

Is it intended that wp vendors don't sell 5.45?

[regal veldt]

well it's preference i guess, some mods change it to the light blue one , others use the circle brown thing

[regal veldt]

they should sell if ur goodwill rises, 500-1000

[delicate wharf]

I have 500 and they are selling 7.62

[muted vale]

Who are you buying from? Some factions sell Warsaw Pact ammo while others sell NATO ammo

[regal veldt]

yeah some have 50-50%

so at the next restock , they might sell the other

[delicate wharf]

Both traders in cordon so WP. Neither had 5.45 but had 7.62

[muted vale]

Oh dur, 5.45, not 5.56. My bad

Spirit will give you some 5.45 fmj for neimonoff

[honest tendon]

how to open crafting on the go?

does it have to be with a kit?

fucking obviously, damn i just forgot the entire crafting system for 15 seconds

[willow hawk]

It's at 1000 goodwill

7.62x39 is sold because some old guns like SKS use 7.62x39

[delicate wharf]

Ah ok I figured 7.62 would be available at the same time or later since its a more powerful cartridge. Just gotta grind some more rep then

[scarlet furnace]

Question... wtf is the Knot supposed to do?

[scarlet furnace]

Umm...

Question...

Why?

Actually, this'd be better-suited for feedback.

[near vault]

so you have to find guns and then fix em up yourself

its optional tho

well optional as in if you dont like it you can just disable it

its to slow down progression afaik

[scarlet furnace]

Well, which mods do I turn off/off for that?

[near vault]

cmon give it a try

[scarlet furnace]

I already have. Personally, it's not lore-accurate. In much the same way 3 controllers grouped together and being super common isn't. Perhaps I'm just a Stalker buff in that sense, but I prefer to be immersed in the world of Stalker, without being given arbitrary challenges there.

But, that's enough ranting from me.

[near vault]

fair

i wasnt too serious either way

[scarlet furnace]

👍

[near vault]

i think the mutant spawns will be adjusted in the future

however

lemme tell you how to be able to buy guns

[scarlet furnace]

Again, is there anyone that can help me debug my emissions and psystorms?

How do I do that?

[regal veldt]

Open debug and spawn a blowout for start

Hmm....come to think of it , i havent gotten a blowout in some time as well

[modern fern]

Use to play provaks mod pack so when it comes to repairing things are there any differences? I didn’t see any in game or in the manual channel. I did see the emergency repair kits but so far to me it’s just any other repairs kit. Guess what I’m wondering is what are the new or different features when it comes to repairing weapons and armor from this mod compared to Provak?

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

Check repairing guns

[modern fern]

I see so the pistol repair kit for example will restore a pistol to 100% IF it’s original condition is over 50%?

As far as cleaning goes I’ve used gun spray before and it restored condition. Where in manual it says it won’t but prevent further loss. Guess I’m a bit confused

[willow hawk]

No

Gun condition is separated from parts condition

Parts condition is what's creating the jams

Gun condition is how clean the gun is

It affects parts degradation

And can also promote jamming

[regal veldt]

yeah there are 2 types of jams now (or even 3)

The vanilla jam when the weapon is too dirty (the condition is low)
Jamming when your weapon parts is kinda low-ish
Super jamming if you have it enabled, requires you to unload the gun , then unjam

[willow hawk]

Super jam is disabled by default

[modern fern]

That’s a lot more clearer thanks.

All this time I thought the parts is what made up the condition of the weapon. Not that they were two separate things

[willow hawk]

In vanilla it's the case but GAMMA uses Weapon Parts Overhaul

For instance its still the case for armors in GAMMA
