[signal kraken]

Long press L

[soft leaf]

holding L on the upgraded p220 doesn't turn on the laser tho

[spiral crown]

im back

my game now crashes on loading a new game

anyone?

[frail escarp]

any time that happens to me I reinstall

im a pleb so thats just my solution for everything

[spiral crown]

is a fresh install

[frail escarp]

did you load the game first before installing gamma?

[warped ginkgo]

no log?

stalker/appdata/logs/xray_log

bottom of the file should be something useful

[frail escarp]

lauta sounds way better than this than I

[spiral crown]

last line of the log

[warped ginkgo]

i think it's a badly installed 128-1.2.0_Groks_Craft_and_Repair_Overhaul

[spiral crown]

okay, im reinstalling it

[warped ginkgo]

try reistanlling and selecting the modular one

no recipes + toolkits are usable as workbench

[warped ginkgo]

those are the ones grok selected in that addon, i think

right click the 128 addon and 'reinstall addon' and select the ones i told you

[spiral crown]

yeah done

still crash, and the log last line really doesnt change

[frail escarp]

is there a stash box somewhere in the merc compound in dead city?

[spiral crown]

this is exhausting, i tried everything

[brave nexus]

i'm having some issues getting the first aid mod to work with the easy mode i've switched the false to true for it in zzz_player.injurys but i'm still getting yellow temporary health am i missing something obvious here

[spiral crown]

good news

it works now

just took me three reinstalls

[oblique zealot]

Make sure you edit the GAMMA Body Health Balance, it is probably overriding the one you edited.

[amber finch]

trying to use dead zone textures i got shader issues

[spiral crown]

is it normal that this is dead last?

[brave nexus]

@oblique zealot ah makes sense i shall have a look for it thanks 🙂

[amber finch]

it has happened to me always

[brave nexus]

Yeah looks like thats it that had the false flag on it just going to run into a fire to test it but looks promising

yup that was it many thanks

[spiral crown]

any way to fix this?

[warped ginkgo]

You mean the textures?

[reef cobalt]

this. people send fucking friend invites and clog dms with "hi im using provak anal how to fxi bugs" bruh

ffs bug channels exists for a reason

[balmy forge]

why bother asking here when you can bother someone for nothing ???

[amber finch]

the textures on the rock look bright like they have ambient light and the objects clip on the sides and look black. some textures far away look messy and they get better as i get closer

[limpid saddle]

Use 16:9 resolution ratio or just press H until you get a proper looking one

[vague meadow]

But LV, how else will they achieve peak stalger if they aren't playing G.A.M.M.A + EFP + Provaks Cucked Overhaul + Expedition on the latest patch for with Sideblinds animations

[gray current]

remove provak cucked overhaul and it's runable

[regal veldt]

[willow hawk]

Press H

[dire wadi]

I found the solution to my problem. None of my environment variables leads to system32. Very weird.

[cedar raptor]

PATHs missing?

thats a nice

pre installed windows

[dire wadi]

had to manually add one that points to system32

i don't know how does this setting even get changed

[next notch]

How do i add yet another winter to the modpack?

[cedar raptor]

[paper whale]

I am still unsure whether I should be impressed or ... that you've used powershell ^^

[untold olive]

At what goodwill does the trader stock level go up? im at around 1000 with freedom, and skinflint is already giving me level 4 or 5 things, but dushman, even though ive got 300 more goodwill with mercs is still only at level 3. Is it because im a merc? I also saw that freedom gave me better things sooner, and with dushman on the same goodwill as freedom still had level 2 stock while also having some level 3 stock items. I also spent 2 days away from dead city atleast twice and it didnt help at all

[cedar raptor]

"Traders will mostly sell supplies and some accessories. You can increase their supply level by doing tasks for the trader's faction. The goodwill thresholds are: 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 goodwill. This is the main way to secure a constant income of good ammunitions."

[untold olive]

The thresholds are different, and arent the same for mercs, freedom and ecologists

[cedar raptor]

did you wait 48h for the to restock?

[untold olive]

Yes

[cedar raptor]

thats strange

[untold olive]

Much more than that

Its been 3-4 days since Dushman changed his stock

[cedar raptor]

do you have debug enabled?

[untold olive]

I changed the time for it to reset to 1 hour and waited but nothing happened

No

[willow hawk]

Powershell isnt easy to use, but it's available on any windows machine.

[stark nimbus]

Which factions can do the additional questlines? I got the modpack yesterday and tested it with CS, got the Last Dawn quest from Cold (just retaking some bases in swamps) and also Spore had some new “assignments”, but there is not anything like this when I tried playing as Merc. I tried to look up the mod at Moddb to find the answer, but could not find it.

[paper whale]

ye I once had to do some Powershell "programming" myself and I do remember it wasn't so enjoyable (also had to do with printer bewitching which is always hell ^^)

[crimson dune]

anyone know what this does and whether it'll help for this mod with stuttering? https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/hvtqj7/remedy_for_bad_performing_script_heavy_mods/

[cedar raptor]

modified libary for lua just in time. pretty sure that wont work with anomaly

[glacial fractal]

Is it normal that sometimes objects are not shaded, and just "glow"? Like this mutants and tree on the left

[cedar raptor]

are you playing on DX8?

[glacial fractal]

DX11

[cedar raptor]

hm then not

did you change the graphics preset to something that isnt high/very high?

[glacial fractal]

Nah default one from GAMMA

[cedar raptor]

hm, im not sure what the problem could be, maybe somebody else will see it and can give you an anwser

[glacial fractal]

Manually reinstalled Groks Optimised Graphics Patcher, reseted shaders cache and it looks little bit better, but still some objects and trees aren't affected by shadows. Funny thing the brightness of this objects change with vertical camera position

[cedar raptor]

can you do cfg_load grading_default please?

inside your console

you can copy paste it

[glacial fractal]

It makes only everything a bit darker, the issue still exist

[cedar raptor]

hm

[glacial fractal]

Maybe the textures of some trees are just brighter and I'm nitpicking?

[cedar raptor]

i mean brightnessvise it looks fine for me

you could try tweek it via r2_lumscale_amb
r2_tonemap_middlegray

so it fits your screen

@willow hawk sorry to tag you again, can you add the base values for them in #│🔧troubleshooting like u did with the gloss?

[glacial fractal]

Ok, thank you for help, I'll try to tweak it a little 😄

[balmy forge]

How can I replace headgear parts

[near vault]

you need a kit to replace parts on armour

headgear kit

[balmy forge]

👍

[short gulch]

What is Trader Destockifier anyway?

also how does Trader Overhaul mix with gamma's existing economy tweaks?

[obtuse rune]

From Moddb: limits the amount of items each trader can have in stock at the time of restock

If you enable Trader Overhaul it loses to the GAMMA Economy changes for most of the traders but the scripts and other trader changes make it in

[frail escarp]

why am i never tired enough to sleep? if my legs are practically atoms and my arms hurt im pretty sure I wouldnt bitch if I could take a nap

[obtuse rune]

Is it early in your run? My guy gets tired regularly after the first day or so. Otherwise you'll need to first aid + post heal to get limb hp

[frail escarp]

yeah im probably like 10 hours in so pretty early

idk how to heal limbs except through sleep and the surgeons

if i use a med kit they just break in like 30 secs anyway

[obtuse rune]

Some items give first aid (orange) and then to get permanent hp you need to use a post-heal (white)

[frail escarp]

what items gives post heal

[obtuse rune]

Avkatabs, Yadulin, some other pills, sci med kit, can't remember them all off the top of my head

[frail escarp]

gotcha, ill look around because spending 30 mins irl to walk across a map with no legs is not fun

[obtuse rune]

Haha I know what you mean, after learning how to heal it runs much smoother

[frail escarp]

yeah orange hp and white hp is life altering info

[frail escarp]

why does the condition of my firearms not improve when i put in better parts?

[rotund mulch]

They are separate stats, think about weapon condition as "cleanliness"

The lower it is - the faster parts will degrade i believe

[frail escarp]

so the only way to "clean" it from crap quality is to shill out top dollar for someone to lube it up?

[rotund mulch]

Armour is different, but it's wip i believe

[frail escarp]

even if all the parts are 100 percent

[rotund mulch]

You can start "cleaning" even if weapon have only 1% left, you just need specific repair kit for that, this kit also can replace broken parts in weapons

If you don't have one - there are some lubes and other items, that can be used at different %, but best one's are for 30%+

So if your gun is bellow 30% - you need a specific kit or just pay $ to technician

[frail escarp]

and i can only pay for 100 percent I cant just pay up to say 30 percent?

[rotund mulch]

Unfortunately - no, it would be a great addition, but i'm no modder

[honest tendon]

where can I buy backpacks?

[obtuse rune]

I know some traders have hunting packs, I'm not sure that I've seen regular backpacks though

[cedar raptor]

hunter trader in garbage is selling hunting backpack

every other one has to be crafted(maybe stashen can drop them too, not sure)

[honest tendon]

oh and i can craft others

cool cool thanks

[muted vale]

So how does the quest Semenov Research Hunt work? I’ve killed a few different mutants and waited a minute or two for him to do anything, but he just stands there looking expectantly at me

[scarlet furnace]

They're not supposed to mix with them.

Because Gamma economy has priority.

[modern fern]

Say your gun is busted and everything is zero. In this case pistol.

Gun condition - keep this high, the lower it is the faster the internal parts degrade. Degradation is unavoidable only slowed in this mod.

Parts - all parts can be maintained except barrel by common gun cleaning items above 60% anything lower must be done using an advanced repair kit which brings it to 100% from any condition. Barrels can only be repaired by advanced cleaning kits. Additionally barrels are the only part you cannot drag and drop directly to the gun and must use a work bench and one tick of the weapons respective repair kit.

The gun barrel condition directly affects weapon damage to some small degree.

Hope something here was able to help further

[chrome kettle]

anybody help me debug my install?

getting 503s

on the downloads

i've installed it successfully 2 times before just started happening this time

#╟❓general-offtopic message

[chrome kettle]

yea thats it lol @warped ginkgo ty

[rancid spade]

After installing everything without issue, I get a crash to desktop after selecting a kit on new-game

Is there a crash log?

[warped ginkgo]

stalkergamma/appdata/logs/xray_log

[rancid spade]

MO doesn't show any errors or any red mods, they were in order

[warped ginkgo]

#old-feedback-suggestions message

try reading those messages

maybe it will help you fix it

[rancid spade]

I'll check those out, thanks

[north turret]

Having what I believe is an AMD issue. Sometimes I would get a long stutter then have a black screen with sound that would force me to task manager close the game and restart. I followed the guide in #╰🩹known-issues for the tdrdelay and it seemed to help but It has happened 3 times within the last 15 minutes in darkscape. Would increasing the delay cause any issues? Some old ass reddit thread mentioned they changed to 10 to fix issues in battlefield but I was unsure if too much time would cause any other issues.

[rancid spade]

@warped ginkgo It's the same issue as you directed me to, manually downloading Streamlined Upgrades and placing "workshop_autoinject" in the appropriate spot fixed the CTD on new-game.

Seems to not install with everything else, I didn't have that 1 file

Thanks bud

[warped ginkgo]

[frail escarp]

how do you use the rf receiver lol

oh i got it

[molten tartan]

So after installation I get these unticked mods. One with red cross. The installation guide says I just have to click re-install but it asks me if I want to overwrite existing files, skip them or rename them. What do I need to do?

[north turret]

Overwrite

[molten tartan]

now this happens after I select the loadout and start the game

I used the executables from the "GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches/bin" folder but problem still persists

[north turret]

Use the ones from the Anomaly/bin install

[warped ginkgo]

Check

The messages above

[molten tartan]

I copied the missing autoinject script manually and now get a new error message

[warped ginkgo]

what resolution are you playinf

16:9?

[molten tartan]

2560x1080

[molten tartan]

changed resolution to 1920x1080 and it is loading in correctly. Maybe one of the UI modes is not compatible with ultra wide resolution?

[molten tartan]

I unticked G.A.M.M.A. UI in MO2 and this lets me play in 2560x1080. Maybe worth adding to the #│🔧troubleshooting channel.

[modern fern]

What are some of the ways saves get corrupted or crash on load? I’ve seen this a few times with others. Just wondering if something bugs out and you save that does it or however it happens. Getting mighty nervous the longer into my save I get

[frail sonnet]

Will The GAMMA Artifacts Rework be similiar to Artefact Renovation in the fact it will add properties to junk artefacts and give them some use?, or just the ability to recycle them?.

[dire wadi]

Does anyone know what causes this error? This appears whenever I try to run Anomaly DX11-AVX.

[modern fern]

Never tried companions before, I know of hit obviously but can I assume asking an NPC for an escort is how you get one? Also won’t they die very easily? Or do you have to outfit them with gear and healing items to keep them around and basically scramble to save them at every encounter?

[blissful tree]

Usually escorting NPCs is not a reliable way to get companions. They can go full bonanza from time to time, usually better rank means better chances of survival but it’s not guaranteed. I suppose supplying them with a few medkits should suffice in case they get downed and not die instantly.

Is it okay if I extract the mods myself in MO2 based on the order GAMMA installed them initially?

[covert geyser]

How do supressors affect gun stats?

[tidal raft]

I think it only affects detection from hostile stalkers. Not range, nor damage.

It's my conjecture, no empirical evidence.

[near vault]

it also makes it easier for your gun to overheat and also increases the wear on your barrel i thinj

[tidal raft]

That may explain why my Hera's barrel got the dirty condition so quickly.

But then again, with that ROF it vomits out bullets much faster than I like.

[north turret]

I'm gonna check the files here in a minute but I remember once upon a time in 1.4 they actually reduced the damage of the weapon. Not sure if that's true anymore or even if it's true of GAMMA.

[near vault]

high rof also means that it'll overheat quicker

i think overheating also puts more wear on the barrel

[rancid spade]

I just can't seem to find a decent combination of console commands & Reshade settings to make everything look -normal-

Had a semi good one but the player skin color was blinding bright white and trees lose all shadow when moving mouse

Is there a vanilla reset of some sort, kinda new to reshade, assuming it's that

Seems to be all foliage, -lose- their shadow when I'm stationary and become bright, sharp

[warped ginkgo]

well, that can also be due to the reshade

[rancid spade]

Yeah idk which one it is

I'm leaning most towards bloom

[warped ginkgo]

bind a key to deactivate the whole reshade and compare

on/off

[tidal raft]

I had no idea there is an 'overheat mechanic' in Anomaly. Source?

[near vault]

i think its part of wpo

[rancid spade]

@warped ginkgo Is there a way to reset Reshade to the settings it installed with?

[warped ginkgo]

extract again the reshade rar? xd

[rancid spade]

Well I was hoping there was something in reshade itself for that, but

Fair

[willow hawk]

Arent you happy with the GAMMA vanilla parameters ?

Use Reshade as little as possible

[rancid spade]

Yeah I should've used console more once I started, the sky was bright white and grass was snowy-white

[willow hawk]

There are console commands for everything already in engine

[rancid spade]

Yeah

[willow hawk]

Also, #│🔧troubleshooting

[rancid spade]

Yeah I read up on that

Also, are there any more do's & don't with settings and mod configs? I was reading about not enabling Zombies and such

[willow hawk]

hemi, amb, lumscale, middlegray, gamma

You can get whatever you want from these

[rancid spade]

Zombies from ZCP that is

[willow hawk]

But vanilla GAMMA settings with adjusted middlegray should be good enough

[lone sail]

How do I turn on the laser on the weapon?

[tidal raft]

Hold down your flashlight key.

Oh damn right thanks

[limpid saddle]

Is it possible to change the color of the sights in-game?

And is it possible to town down the psy double vision effect? Lasts quite a long time even though psy-health is full alr

[toxic grotto]

Is it possible we could get a deadzone repack for this list? im using the efp repack and getting texture issues rarely but for instance in the dead city sports center stairwell. Probably my fav graphical enhancement for stalker.

[willow hawk]

Only game texture modified is Agressor ground

[toxic grotto]

So disable aggressor? It's actually probably the efp repacks fault. They probably had more modified textures or something. I'll try the aggressor change and then download deadzone from mdb and see if that fixes my issue. Btw your list is amazing 👏

[chrome kettle]

yea every time i play another pack i just wanna go back to gamma lol

[rancid spade]

Is there an easy way to alter/delete custom or mod-related keybinds? Or simply just go through relevant mod folders one by one

[willow hawk]

There's a GAMMA keybind fix

Which should cover most keybinds

Some of them are still in relevant add-ons scripts

[rancid spade]

Alright I'll check that out

[honest tendon]

is the Zone Delivery System mod for stashes in GAMMA?

or is it still in dev

[covert geyser]

is it possible to get ACE SEVA?

[near vault]

its in devv

[lone sail]

Is there a way to check the ammo can't seem to find it in the #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[ripe junco]

Pres and hold the use key while the weapon is out.

[lone sail]

Oh ok thanks

[willow hawk]

In dev

[toxic grotto]

yea the deadzone issue i was having was from me using the efp repack. it was HEAVILY modified compared to the version i just downloaded. fixed the missing textures so far

[willow hawk]

[obtuse rune]

Are Aslan patch trades done by type? ie. trade 15 Monolith get 2 AAC every time?

[amber finch]

i tried to use deadzone but i got texture glitches. where did you place the mod in the load order?

[toxic grotto]

Bottom. It only fixed the glitch in dead city. Have no idea yet if it's perfect. Not home atm but when I am I'm gunna finally sit back and play, no more messing around with added mods.

[brisk juniper]

what population settings do you guys recommend for a tough but fair experience? I was experimenting with 0.5 mutants and 1 stalkers but feels that there are way too much people everywhere, much more than in vanilla 1

[scarlet vortex]

What is best way to heal broken legs...1st time playing w health system, getting destroyed by everything as I try to hobble away. Fking hilarious

[cedar raptor]

Use basic healing items like medkits or bandages to heal your main health. It will also heal your limbs temporarily (yellow HP). To convert these temporary HP to permanent HP for your limbs (yellow to white HP) use post heal items (like Akvatabs, with white dots in their description).

[scarlet vortex]

Word. Ty. @ZeroGott

[cedar raptor]

yw

[scarlet vortex]

Also I'm not sure if anybody else has a super glitch at the ELEVATOR barn area early on but my game gets hella wonky there and I have no idea why

[amber finch]

does this one has nightvision? i tap N and nothing happens

[ripe junco]

Try holding n

[amber finch]

damm im dumb haha thanks

[soft patrol]

Can someone make a torrent of the whole mod? it takes 20 mins to dowload 12mb from moddb on any mirror lol

[north turret]

@near vault Have you had any luck with the vulkan wrapper? Still getting black screen on my end even with increasing the delay

[near vault]

it worked fine for me but i felt like it added more delay and stutters

didnt test it extensively since i like sun rays too much

[signal kraken]

Does anyone have a good 3rd person cross-hair mod?

[soft leaf]

i found a toz-194 and some buckshot but can't give them to hip?

the quest marker points to her but the only dialog is "peace"

[near vault]

why even use crosshairs

[north turret]

Has the tdrdelay fixed the issues for you or does it not happen often enough to bother you?

[near vault]

doesnt happen that often

i put my tdrdelay on like 12 and it still happens so that didnt rly work for me

[north turret]

yeah I put mine on 60 lmao and it still does it

well time to search the internet

[warped ginkgo]

ravenascendat crosshairs?

[signal kraken]

I was looking at those but I couldn't tell if they work in 3rd person or not

[warped ginkgo]

you didn't even try?

[signal kraken]

3rd person STALKER sounds like a fun way to spice up gameplay a bit

[warped ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/btd4b.gif

[signal kraken]

No, I didn't want to overwrite my gamedata folder unless I knew for sure they'd work

[warped ginkgo]

install it with mo2

[signal kraken]

This is why you're smarter than I am

[rancid spade]

If I wanted to change the ammo check bind to hold reload instead of USE, would it be the former or latter command?

Nvm sorted

[nimble hamlet]

What is a good source of synthetic cloth? Have a lot of other fabrics but failing to find that

[molten tartan]

Is there a way to lower the "hunger rate"? My stalker has to eat like every 5 minutes

[frail escarp]

the aek just refuses to reload

and the 7.62 x 39 one visually leaves your screen when you walk forward

[chrome kettle]

is this the correct stuff enabled for gamma default reshade?

seems so few

i know aggressor is in the modlist but it doesn't look like how aggressor looks on EFP for example

[warped ginkgo]

becuase the agressor on the modlist is only the weather/grass/ground textures

not the reshade

[chrome kettle]

ah i see ty

@warped ginkgo do you know if any of the main reshade packs play nice with gamma?

[amber finch]

i used expedition 1.1 preset and modified it

[chrome kettle]

that sounds cool, mind sending or showing me pls : D

[north turret]

Just the reshade or the weathers and textures as well?

[amber finch]

Just reshade

[amber finch]

i havent look into weathers of the textures, but will check

from the screenshot, the first 2 are from expedition, the following ones come from a efp preset i liked

[north turret]

Ah ok cuz I've been fucking with the weathers and other stuff and for some reason storm1 and storm2 when the lightning strikes it just makes the entire screen white for almost a full minute.

[willow hawk]

Wait what time is it in the game when taking that screenshot?

[zinc canyon]

how do i install the anomlies depencies?

[willow hawk]

You still have the bug ?

[near vault]

@willow hawk how are the classic textures you provided compared to vanilla anomaly?

[willow hawk]

Lower quality and resolution. Anomaly textures have been remade from scratch by a skilled artist

[zinc canyon]

so i do not need install the anomlies dependencies if i dont have the crash?

[north turret]

Well, I really like this modpack, but one thing really annoyes me: low condition of weapons which I found. How can change to "default" mode?

[covert geyser]

Its not its actual condition

its the cleanliness

check the internal parts for actual condition

[north turret]

One more thing, which addons should I disable to use 3d scopes (yes, I know it cuts fps)

[north turret]

So how can change it?

[covert geyser]

no idea

[north turret]

Maybe it depends on difficult

Or playstyle (tourist, scavenger etc)

[willow hawk]

No you don't

[amber finch]

19:30

[limpid saddle]

which was it?

[toxic grotto]

Drop condition mod in mcm

[north turret]

Got it, thanks

[willow hawk]

You defeat the whole purpose of the GAMMA progression though

Thankfully you won't be able to buy ammo for your rifles

[north turret]

[rancid spade]

@limpid saddle I ended up skipping the config after reading about it being the main reason for the -busy hands- bug so I'm just going to stay away from ammo checking completely

And side question, what mod dictates the ratio at which food/drink/sleep drains?

[willow hawk]

GAMMA sleep overhaul

[quaint latch]

im playing on dx8 and i cant seem to use nightvision i hear the activation sound but there's no nightvision

[rancid spade]

Might be the scope toggle (?)

[willow hawk]

Disable Beef NVG and Enhanced Shaders as well as water SSR

[quaint latch]

Thanks

[frail escarp]

what is this lucifer artifact

[rotund mulch]

It will eat your soul if you don't feed it well with other artifacts

[frail escarp]

so i equipped knot

but its been a few irl hours and idk what it does

[warped ginkgo]

you need to right click

and a option shows up, like a pact or something

i think it was that

[frail escarp]

yeah i heard the laugh lol

[warped ginkgo]

but remember that if you get the lucifer artefact you won't be able to get rid of it

[covert geyser]

well, you will die

since its impossible to get that many artefacts

[frail escarp]

how many artefacts does it want?

[covert geyser]

thats why it says to have a save before equipping it

[covert geyser]

It depends on the artefact type

[warped ginkgo]

you sacrifice artefacts to make the condition of lucifer go higher

[covert geyser]

if you find more knots you good

for.. some time

[warped ginkgo]

and a choccy milk too

[crimson dune]

is the busy hands bug fixed with this latest update or should i disable close quarter combat? and immersive sleep fdda

[covert geyser]

No idea

il try to force it

[frail escarp]

i get that bug all the time

not fixed

[crimson dune]

does this bug happen with vanilla anomaly and fdda?

[frail escarp]

idk i never played vanilla with fdda

[willow hawk]

Busy hands won't be fixed most likely :(

What I'll do is split GAMMA FDDA edits in a separated add-ons

[crimson dune]

im going to play without immersive sleep, sleep overhaul, close quarter combat, dltx extra animations, and mutant skin animation. see if that works

[willow hawk]

And ask people to try the pack with or without it to see if it impacts busy hands

[crimson dune]

is the FDDA in this modpack currently edited or from moddb directly?

[willow hawk]

Most likely, disabling the Mutant skinning animations disables what GAMMA modifies and would fix the busy hands potentially induced by GAMMA

but FDDA can generate that but anytime

[willow hawk]

FDDA is from moddb directly

[crimson dune]

what are u referring to when usay GAMMA FDDA edits then?

[willow hawk]

GAMMA cooking overhaul

[crimson dune]

o, what does that do

[willow hawk]

Edits mutants skinning in a variety of way

[crimson dune]

i like that i can use campfires instead of charcoal

[willow hawk]

Use proper knife model when used from inventory

[crimson dune]

i see

[willow hawk]

And reequip gun after skinning

Just enable them but disable mutants skinning animations in FDDA MCM

Also disable pickup animations for good measure

This help with the busy hands

And keep all the GAMMA stuff

That way you have everything but disable the things mostly prone to initiate busy hands

But busy hands can happen every time event manager breaks

[rancid spade]

I'm maybe 12 hours into a fresh playthrough on a clean install, never used ammo check and never had busy hands

I tried different binds while skinning just to see if I could trigger it, but never had it

[willow hawk]

Biggest problem is the amount of add-ons using event manager for the slightest thing while time_global timers can be used and doesn't initiate busy hands stuff since it doesn't create events nor break events manager

[willow hawk]

I had it once in 30h

Sometimes it happens randomly during skinning mutants

It's prone to happen on longer saves....

Most likely because the event manager gets filled with tons of useless stuff.... :(

Additional storylines can also be the cause

[crimson dune]

every time i update gamma, i disable eft rattle, instant tooltip, and lifegranter counter to name a few. instant tooltip gets in the way when trying to see what ammo goes to a highlighted weapon

or upgrades

and i dont use ironman mode

and i gotta reinstall dooms weapon inspect for the no music version

..so many things to keep track of 😄

[rancid spade]

However I just had a moment where it said I was exhausted even though my stamina bar was full, doesn't seem to change at all regardless how much I sprint

[willow hawk]

Just... Rename the mods

[crimson dune]

i dont know how that works

[willow hawk]

What "said" that

[amber finch]

wht does close quarte combat does? when they bitchslap me?

[willow hawk]

Rename the MO2 add-ons

[willow hawk]

Rebalances actor close range weapons damage

Makes them OP

And rework quick melee animation

[crimson dune]

but when i update and reinstall, it will not reinstall and reactivate the addons?

[rancid spade]

Well -said- as in just the usual display message on screen when you're out of stamina/fatigued

[willow hawk]

And works with knife from inventory

[rancid spade]

I quicksaved and was going to reload to see if it was just visual, but it was CTD

[willow hawk]

Reinstall will touch GAMMA and numbered add-ons, not the rest

[rancid spade]

Unsure what caused the CTD, save/load fixed the stamina bar visual

Log doesn't point to any errors

[willow hawk]

So if you rename a numbered addon... It won't be overwritten when reinstalling

[crimson dune]

i see, so i deleted the numbers

ok thanks!

i assume it will install and enable the addons i have disabled, but i shall just delete those

[willow hawk]

It will only disable your add-ons

And maybe move them at the bottom

[crimson dune]

i mean it'll make a new coppy

[willow hawk]

Yup

[crimson dune]

i am trying to update and reinstall as little as possible

so i try and manually edit the github changes u upload myself

cause it also overwrites anomaly game settings, like lower resolution to 980 and stuff like that

[covert geyser]

2 empties or 2 Improved kevlar

[rotund mulch]

2 Improved coolers

[covert geyser]

i need ballistic protection

[rotund mulch]

Empties are heavy as balls, i would stick to kevlar

[covert geyser]

well then, kevlar it is

[hexed totem]

If I had a playthrough before the MP7 5.7. change and had an MP7 on me can that cause crashes?

[rotund mulch]

Tbh i still don't know if things that give you ballistic protection and such are working or not, my stats don't go up when i equip them

[covert geyser]

good thing about kevlar is that it also slows down outfit degradation (according to the description)

i think they just dont show

because i do feel tankier

[rotund mulch]

It shouldn't but i can't say for sure

[soft leaf]

try unloading the mp7 before updating?

[willow hawk]

I don't think so

Just disable GAMMA MP7 EFT repos

[rotund mulch]

I'm running around in exo so i either take close to zero damage or a lot when someone shooting big scary ap rounds, i have full empty equipped, i just hope it does something

[covert geyser]

ive got a Merc Pathfinder SEVA

had no issue taking on the CNPP

[rotund mulch]

CNPP was strange, Strelok and co cleared like 90% of enemies while i was managing loot

[covert geyser]

your companions actualy did something?

[rotund mulch]

Fucking Rogue stole Barrett

[covert geyser]

mines were looking at the floor

[rotund mulch]

Yeah, they just killed everyone, i don't think they can die even

[covert geyser]

the special ones are difficult to kill

but my random hired companion kept dying

[rotund mulch]

I had one duty guy in exo, was practically unkillable but had to ditch him because of that bug when companions randomly die

[rotund mulch]

I may just run some tests, i have duty pathfinder with shit ballistic resist but 5 slots, if i fill all of them with emptys of plates it should be very noticeable difference

[covert geyser]

Sounds great

[tall charm]

Installed latest versions and I believe it should work fine. These new boxes are the newest changes since the last time I downloaded GAMMA if Im not mistaken right?

[willow hawk]

These are old versions of add-ons yes

[tall charm]

ah so the unchecked boxes are stuff that has been removed and we dont need now?

gotcha gotcha

[rotund mulch]

Yeah, looks like they are working, going from 13% ballistic to 33% is very noticeable

[covert geyser]

Thanks for confirming it

[amber finch]

i have them checked..all of the dltx minimods. should i remove them?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[amber finch]

i find strange not to be able to purchase weapons or sell them. how can I change that? even if they are expensive

another one...haha
Any difference between this

and this..besides the 2nd one not needing parts

[rancid spade]

P sure weapons from traders are locked behind goodwill?

I might be wrong

[chrome kettle]

update GAMMA

allright last one, i disabled the dltx addones and my saves crashes. enabled then back and im fine. will i have issues later?

[delicate wharf]

Is it possible to add the fully repaired stats for suits/helmets on the details screen? Would help someone like me who doesn't know a lot of the modded suits etc decide on what to keep/repair. Could put them next the the current stats in brackets or something maybe?

[limpid saddle]

Need this

Like an alternate button to toggle show original stats

[willow hawk]

Why do you disable them........ ?

[marsh otter]

Hi, i wanted to know, how does the leveling system work ? Where can i see its progress ?

[golden wigeon]

Doesn't work

This is not fallout man

[north turret]

All of these flagged mods only contain this after a fresh install. Searched around discord and only found someone mention that "ammo maker" didn't have a game data folder. Should I do these manually?

[marsh otter]

But it does

i´ve just levelled strenght

and it said that i could carry more weight and it did

[north turret]

Press K

Should bring up the percentage for your skills

[marsh otter]

You are awesome

[north turret]

Well now I am getting the xrDebugNew.cpp in the main menu with debug mode unticked in the launcher, does anyone know where the config is stored for it? Been looking for a while now

[willow hawk]

K

[willow hawk]

Not related to debug

[north turret]

hmm I don't know then. Literally just went to windows 11 with a fresh install of everything

[willow hawk]

You need to update and reinstall or just install these add-ons manually

Right click > reinstall

[north turret]

I fixed that issue im just trying to see what the debug is all about now

I might have fixed it by actually thinking instead of going straight to discord. I may not have opened the launcher before gamma so I reinstalled and I’m in game now

[modern fern]

What’s the reason behind removing helmet repair kits? A bug?

[covert geyser]

too easy to get a good gas mask early on

[modern fern]

Oh, I did find the helm kit early but a quality mask was an issue.

[golden garnet]

So I got damaged in the leg, how do I apply treament to it?

Also fucking cunt controller right outside rookie camp.

Faaaaahk

[obtuse rune]

See #│📚manual message

[blissful tree]

You use post heal items, like glucose shots and other medical items.

[golden garnet]

Oh thanks

[raven grotto]

when i open GAMMA, the mod organizer says Update available 2.42-> 2.4.4 in the log. do i update this through the GAMMA installer ?

[obtuse rune]

That update is for MO2, not the mod list

[raven grotto]

Gotcha.

So In The instance where the mod list receives an update is there a way to identify this without re running gammainstaller.exe.

[obtuse rune]

Whenever there's a push to #📢development

[hazy ridge]

usually there will be a notice in update yeah

and if you familiar with those mods in the mod list

[obtuse rune]

Though that channel doesn't indicate individual mod updates

[hazy ridge]

you can check moddb update of them

run the installer will automatically download new update from moddb

[raven grotto]

Sounds good. Thanks

[toxic grotto]

ohhh, is its gunna mess my save up to remove these dltx mini mods? didnt realize they werent intended to be used

[toxic grotto]

wait a minute, didnt you tell him to remove them just above? im confused

[chrome kettle]

read the install guide #old-how-to there is a step where you re-order any addons that weren't automatically ordered

9. Make sure there aren't any addons with a prefixed number located at the end of the load order. These addons are newly updated compared to the modlist of G.A.M.M.A. They should be correctly installed and should work - if the authors didn't change a lot of things indeed. If you find some of these addons, post their name in updated-addons , tick them, and move them to their rightful position in the load order using their prefixed number. I'm assuming this is what you're confused about i could be wrong though

[willow hawk]

But in the case of updating the pack, if you do not delete the mods folder beforehand, you'll accumulate old add-ons

If you have old add-ons at the bottom of the load order after updating (i.e. there's already a version of the add-on in its rightful position and it has a more advanced update number), just delete those in MO2

[covert geyser]

How can i make the nosorog viable?

like keeping it powered

[tidal raft]

With difficulty.

[covert geyser]

is the reactor PSU usefull?

like, whats the recharge rate?

[tidal raft]

Before acquiring a decent PSU you'll have to carry 10kg of batteries.

[tidal raft]

The recharge rate is pretty garbage imo.
I changed the script from 0.03 energy per tick to 0.3 per tick.

After that I would only have to recharge it after going out on an excursion.

[obtuse rune]

While holding an Electron do Electra still hurt you?

[tidal raft]

I've not tested it, but I assume 'Yes'.

[covert geyser]

is it the one that charges your devices?

[obtuse rune]

Yeah

[covert geyser]

yep, it does hurt

[tidal raft]

[covert geyser]

You will also hear your character scream in agony

but you will take less damage

[obtuse rune]

Hmm niche but potentially useful

[covert geyser]

hmm

[tidal raft]

Generator is superior.

[covert geyser]

im wondering if i could charge exo batteries with that

[tidal raft]

That's a good question.
Generator did not, so I'll assume Electron doesn't either.

[obtuse rune]

Much less useful

Ah it does specify active devices, so sad days

[tall charm]

Yo

does a bedspread actually help with a sleeping bag ?

I think I read it somewhere but wasnt sure if it actually does anything

[summer patrol]

when i start a new game after picking my loadout in the loading screen my game crashes. does anyone know a fix?

im starting as duty if that helps

[willow hawk]

Check step 9 of #old-how-to

Maybe you have some red crosses add-ons

[summer patrol]

i dont really know what that means im very new to this kinda stuff. the only red x i see is one next to a mod htat isnt checked

[willow hawk]

There you go

Let me push an update

[covert geyser]

where is the PDA for Contact Lost?

[willow hawk]

Update GAMMA and install GAMMA with the installer. Should be good to go then

[willow hawk]

No clue

[covert geyser]

also got busy hands again

[willow hawk]

Stop using ammo check

[summer patrol]

Thank you man, I appreciate it a ton!

[covert geyser]

im not using mags

[willow hawk]

Disable mutants skinning and disable item animation pick @covert geyser

In MCM

[hazy ridge]

searching missing squad with RF

[modern fern]

With every update no directions have changed presumably from the install update section correct? With the exception of the new add on load order channel?

[crimson dune]

@willow hawk how to disable item animation pick? i dont see that option in MCM. in FDDA there is Pickup animations distance but it doesn't disable animations even at 0

also, someone else mentioned this in general, but i also have no loot in any of the blue boxes around cordon, is that normal?

[neat junco]

How does the limb health mod work?

[hazy ridge]

check #│📚manual
to give you a detail answer
look into med description
yellow/orange = heal temporary
blue/white = convert temp heal to perma heal
for example
monolith dunk my arm to 0%
i use bandage, now it 60% ish temp healed
i can aim better now but the heal will eventually goes away
so in order to heal off my arm
i will need to use akvatab (blue/white heal) after using bandage

[neat junco]

oh my bad

thanks

[hazy ridge]

notice that a fatal blow to your head or torso

will kill you immediately

[neat junco]

yeah im familiar with tarkov and stuff

which it seems to mimic

[hazy ridge]

arms and legs are ok to be 0%

just limping around

yeah

[neat junco]

just was curious how to heal permanently since the torso would go up with medkit then start dropping

missed the manual channel

my bad!

[hazy ridge]

np

hover over med also show how much it heal you

on the bottom left too

[hazy ridge]

hmm, check you stash loot %
it should be in progression setting

@hardy warren

the % is pretty low tho

[hardy warren]

oh cool ty

[obtuse rune]

Anyone seen a Mauser to use the rounds people sell?

[modern fern]

can i get some clarification on what was said in "load_order_changes"

[toxic grotto]

do traders just not sell guns in this mod?

[modern fern]

correct

stash only or corpse find

[toxic grotto]

okie doke

the dude in zaton who you can order guns from tho i have seen has an inventory of guns

[modern fern]

There are select NPCs that still carry them but majority don't its being worked on

[toxic grotto]

no i know i was just saying as an fyi

[modern fern]

oh thats bugs then

but im sure ive seen it noted already

[modern fern]

This great or it's over exaggerated?

[obtuse rune]

Acc seems good, only one ammo type and 2 rounds though

[modern fern]

Valued at 90k based i was thinking i may not understand something

that RPK i have is based around 25k

[obtuse rune]

Rare gun, lotta damage is value

[modern fern]

Cool but I notice bull slugs can’t be made? That a learned recipe?

[bronze socket]

I have the same issue and don't know how to disable that animation

[obtuse rune]

Are perk artifacts meant to reduce in efficiency when used?

[crimson dune]

i think that'll be an addon

[obtuse rune]

It might only be the headshot artifact, Miser's Skull

[covert geyser]

not that one

its the quest of Mortal Sin

[gray current]

PDA's right around the guy

[covert geyser]

it wasnt there

could my companions have it?

since they walked over the area

[stark nimbus]

If I remember correctly, only Nimble sells them

[tidal raft]

You can spawn the PDA with debug. I had to since a Clear Sky member shot the leader somewhere in that area--and I couldn't find the PDA.

[north turret]

Is it a good idea to use expidation mod with groks modpack?

Is there a simpler version of that so a primate like me can understand?

[modern fern]

Most likely, no, wait for the new reshades

Expedition needs a lot of tweaks to be nice

[north turret]

Ok thanks

Rtgi should be enough

Btw, with rtgi and 3d scopes, will I have at least 60fps?

Gtx 1660 super

I know, when I use 3d scopes, it reduces half of current fps (because of the dual render technigue)

[willow hawk]

PiP scopes yes

3d scopes no

[north turret]

No?

Interesting

[covert geyser]

Why do i get killed by 2 shots in a Nosorog?

i even had morphine

and the guy had a SA-58

[willow hawk]

Some 3d scopes aren't PiP

All red dots are 3d but not PiP

[willow hawk]

7.62x51 with AP ammo slaps. You pierce nosorogs with it, and ennemies also pierce yours with it

[covert geyser]

almost all the enemies use it then

atleast from sin

[tidal raft]

Late-game plays like a Quake insta-gib match.

[willow hawk]

Imagine if you have a shitty armor

[tidal raft]

Wouldn't matter. You get one-shot in a fully upgraded Nosorog anyway.

Even buckshot will instantly kill you.

The main importance between worse and better armour is rads resistance in late-game stages.

[willow hawk]

Not with the damage balancer ?

[near vault]

ks23 will instakill you in exosuits

[willow hawk]

Ok. I'll fix it

[north turret]

See? I knew the KS-23 was fucking broken.

[hexed totem]

I lost ironman runs because of that thing

[delicate wharf]

Maybe I should swamp my shotty to a ks23 then. Even not particularly tanky stalkers seem to eat my yellow slugs for breakfast

[north turret]

#╟❓general-offtopic message

Here I am complaining about it 2 days ago lol

[near vault]

normal shotguns are fine tho

ive been oneshot by the ks with 30% balistic res

[covert geyser]

73% Ballistic res

and ks got me

[hexed totem]

Someone tought it would be a good idea to make a shotgun out of a 23mm aircraft gun barrel

[north turret]

Yeah I was about to say I've been one shot while having ~68%

[sand inlet]

Em blame the russian

They have unique taste on guns

[willow hawk]

I'm hesitating to just remove ks23 from the game

I'll make a balancer for its damage to actor

Like damage /4 or something

[north turret]

I mean, I'd keep it just cuz it's a shotgun on steroids but at the same time an NPC being able to one shot thru a nosorog is just a teeny, tiny bit ENTIRELY TOO FUCKING MUCH

[willow hawk]

Yes I'll rewrite the damage balancer script to use the armor AP scale and apply it to the Buckshots ammo

[north turret]

Oh, speaking of, does armor degrade faster the more damage it takes?

If so maybe make it so the KS-23 doesn't necessarily penetrate thru the armor but instead just wrecks the durability.

[willow hawk]

I'm not sure

[willow hawk]

Bad idea

I mean, faster armor degradation, better armor protection is a good idea

But it requires to rework how armors are repaired

[tidal raft]

Especially with ADB.

[willow hawk]

Ah so, it boosts damages like for the mutants....

[north turret]

I'm not entirely sure how the new ballistics and armor interact in GAMMA so I can't make any good suggestions unfortunately but I do remember that once upon a time in vanilla Anomaly the more damage your armor absorbed the faster it degraded.

That's why shotguns were meta there for a while especially the 153. You just mag dump on someone till you eventually shredded thru their armor.

[tidal raft]

Something like that.

[willow hawk]

I guess it's the invulnerability avoider that makes some guns causing too much damage independently of your armor

[quaint latch]

Hey grok i want to change the ammo check key to reload key i found the script but i don't is it just kRELOAD or something else

[willow hawk]

DIK_R

DIK_KEY.DIK_R I think

Check GAMMA keybind fixes add-on

[quaint latch]

Okay thanks

[near vault]

how do protection values work for outfits with included headgear?

is the headgear included in the given values or not?

[golden wigeon]

You mean what UI shows in stats?

[near vault]

yes

so if it says 60% balistic does that mean the outfit has 60% balistic or does it mean its a 30/30 split between outfit and the included helmet

[golden wigeon]

bone armor of spine + bone armor of head

[near vault]

ah that means armor with included headgear is a lot worse than it appears to be huh

especially if you have a better helmet

doesnt that mean that exos only have like 40% balistic protection at best for spine?

[hardy warren]

Is there any resource on crafting guns with the parts you get from disassembling? Very new to the game and have no clue what I’m doing lol

[covert geyser]

Well, this modpack is a bit different than base game but i guess a guide can help

[willow hawk]

Never tried it

[modern fern]

Are addon suggestions ever voted on for incorporation or is it only at the discretion of Grok to keep the vision of Gamma

I figured almost every addon would be added, numbered, and left optional

At the minimum

[warped ginkgo]

[desert scarab]

Can someone tell me how i can enable debug mode?

[willow hawk]

I'm implementing what fits to my vision

After all, GAMMA stands for Grok's Automated Modular Modpack for Anomaly

[modern fern]

Thanks, looking forward to more pain

[willow hawk]

For a global Currated list with most add-ons there's the Currated add-ons list (which I also maintain... But it doesn't correspond to my vision of how the game should be)

GAMMA is what I think a 2022 STALKER game should be

After 400+ hours of Anomaly play time and 1.5y of Modding it

[desert scarab]

Well i have to say Mr.Grok. You have done an exceptional job with this! Hats of to you!

[hazy ridge]

but master grok
can we achieve free in 2077

[modern fern]

It’s much easier to just install what you pre package, it’s a lot less of a headache than fine tuning it to myself, a hell of a lot less playing to personalize it

[near vault]

bug free is pretty much impossible cuz xray gaming 😔

[willow hawk]

It will never be 100% bug free... What I'm aiming is a stable enough game

Currently the worst thing you can have is busy hands

[hazy ridge]

i know im joking

[willow hawk]

Otherwise it's acceptable

[hazy ridge]

cant expect this old ass engine to do all the work perfectly

[willow hawk]

There are some issues here and there but nothing that a reload can't fix

I'm mostly working on game progression and game balance at this point

While adding QoL improvements and add-ons

[desert scarab]

My question remains though, is there a way to enable debug mode with this "launcher". Im trying to make a video for some cool stuff but i cant be bothered to play for 100 hours to get the loadout i want for the video

[near vault]

the same way as in vanilla

[willow hawk]

Oooh I'm interested in this

[near vault]

open anomaly launcher through mo2 and then tick debug mode

that will do it

[willow hawk]

I need a promo video highlighting the biggest changes of GAMMA

[rustic comet]

i didn't see that emoji you have as pfp since MSN messenger times

[desert scarab]

How do i open it through mo2? Im somewhat new to this. Well @willow hawk if i manage to get a good video together i will let you know 🙂

[near vault]

at the top left theres a selection

[willow hawk]

I have some specifics about the different points that should be highlighted if you want

[near vault]

top right*

my bad

[desert scarab]

Had it as pfp since the early skype days 😅

[willow hawk]

Top right > Anomaly Launcher > Play

[near vault]

top right it lets you select which version of the game to run and you just select anomaly launcher there

[willow hawk]

Tick debug > close window > top right of MO2 > DX11 AVX> play

[desert scarab]

First i need to come up with a good concept and "theme" for the video and then some other stuff that i need to figure out aswell! But when i am ready i will try to get ahold of you 🙂

Oh okey! Now i get it! Thanks a bunch 🙂

[hazy ridge]

also master grok
when will we achieve bug free with this server?
the Maid anomaly and missing person seem to be, uncontained

soooo butcher is buying shit at full price. most things. ammo, silencers, and more. just made 250 k from the guy lol. seems bugged?

[soft leaf]

i keep finding .50 bmg but there doesn't seem to be a .50 gun in the game?

the barrett uses 12.7 and the bolt action variant uses .338

[golden garnet]

12.7 is .50

12.7mm = 0.50 of an inch

[soft leaf]

damn i'm braindead

[rotund mulch]

You good, game rarely spawns ammo that has no use in gamma, like 4.6x30 or .50 bmg

[soft leaf]

it sells for a FORTUNE tho

sold some to sidorovich and got like 15k

[rotund mulch]

I don't know if barret m82 spawns, but it uses same ammo as VSSK, and other barret shoots .338 lapua. Dvl shoots .338 federal

[fossil crater]

Ahem, please don't mind me being an idiot but can I disable dynamic anomalies once activated them? I de-ticked it in normal settings and also disabled in the mod manager but it's not working while they already spawned I guess eh..

[blissful tree]

Yeah, a new character will be required for those changes to take place.

[fossil crater]

Sadge, thanks for answering

[acoustic girder]

There a mod to turn off to make armor and weapon repairing little more simplified?

[blissful tree]

Do I only have to disable more campfire saving to not be 'forced' into saving near campfires?

@willow hawk I wrote about pseudogiants tanking 100 rounds of 7.62x54 PP in bugs but didn't tag you

[warped ginkgo]

even with the ssdo disabled from reshade it happens?

[idle birch]

where are all the dudes at Rookie Village

[north turret]

Its a vanila stalker anomally

I recorded it earlier

[warped ginkgo]

you clearly have a reshade active

press the 'HOME' button

it's the default key to open the reshade menu

[north turret]

In other words

[north turret]

Yes, and thats the thing

I ve just turned on rtgi

Ive tried to change something and nothing

[willow hawk]

Don't activate ZCP

[willow hawk]

Don't post issues here if it doesn't concern GAMMA directly, especially when you enable Reshade stuff

[north turret]

Got it

[willow hawk]

Disable the Reshade stuff you added

Problem fixed

[ripe junco]

That's rtgi ghosting. If you also use a faint qmxao with it, it becomes less distracting.

Is there a way to increase actor speed when leaning?

And qmxao is appearing through the UI....

I tried different MXAO settings through Reshade and disabled it in the end

It will need a proper and better implementation within engine, which will happen with anomaly 1.6

[willow hawk]

I don't get how you can tolerate that just for small shadows around objects....

There are some HBAO already, it would be better to tweak its code and using Reshade shaders code there most likely so it's directly baked in engine

But yeah it requires actually knowing HLSL

Same for DOF it destroys UI

[amber finch]

x2

not using AO or RT on reshade now because of the ghosting

[willow hawk]

Honestly all you need it GAMMA bloom and maybe some curves

Check bonk Reshade if you want new effects

But i would say... Just play the damn game, as I said, one thing you configure under one weather will look bad in another

So you will endup tweaking Reshade all the time instead of playing

While with the GAMMA Reshade you just have a nice subtle bloom and just need to tweak middlegray in the console under certain map / weathers

And best of all, you'll save some frames

[ripe junco]

I've just remapped shader toggle key to a convenient one. Anytime I'm interacting with ui and I can't see, I just toggle it off. I know, it's a bit wonky, but I really like the way it makes the objects blend in with the environment, rather than stick out in an unnatural way. With rtgi it really makes closed environments realistically dark. It's a trade off based on taste though and I can definitely see why you and many people don't like it.

[willow hawk]

Well I also think it can improve the image but gameplay and ease of access / gameflow >>> graphics

[ripe junco]

Yup, I can see your point. Maybe I'm just a sucker for it, ahahah.

[knotty flax]

little new to modding stalker and I'm just testing out gamma for the first time so sorry if I missed something obvious. When starting a new game, there's no npc's in cordon besides Sidorovich. Also some magazines dont give the option to add them to a loadout and instead require me to drag and drop them in order to load. Something wrong or is this normal?

[warped ginkgo]

the magazine capacity depends on the outfit you wear

you won't be able to equip like 5 rifle magazines on a rookie jacket xd

[knotty flax]

that might explain why i could add pistol mags but not rifle mags lmao thanks

[delicate wharf]

@willow hawk I couldn't find your commit for adding advanced/expert toolkit recipes and was wondering what recipe you were thinking of? I quickly threw this together

[willow hawk]

Don't activate ZCP

[knotty flax]

Awesome thanks

[willow hawk]

I did something wrong with the recipe , let me find the commit

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/1b0e76f995860b619c4990257fccfd6277954ede

Aaaah I did some bullshit and didn't upload the correct file

[delicate wharf]

yea this is the commit im looking at but it doesn't have the recipes

yea

I added to this file in section [3]

x_itm_advancedkit = 1, recipe_basic_0, itm_basickit, 1, light_repair_kit, 1, toolkit_s, 1
x_itm_expertkit = 2, recipe_advanced_0, itm_advancedkit, 1, toolkit_r5, 1, heavy_repair_kit, 1

[willow hawk]

Yes I didn't upload the correct file

In that file I changed the recipes but I didn't add the new recipe

x_itm_advancedkit = 1, recipe_basic_0, itm_basickit, 5

[delicate wharf]

yea I figured you forgot the lines for the new recipe in the commit. Mostly wanted to try and add it to see if it worked how I thought

[willow hawk]

And that's just it

I don't want expert kit craft recipe

The idea is to limit the RNG to get advanced kit

[delicate wharf]

yea you wouldn't have to go north of rostok if it was craftable

[willow hawk]

Exactly

[delicate wharf]

but adv kit locks anything but the basic backpack so its really important

[willow hawk]

Now you even have to go beyond red forest

So the hardest part of the game isn't only the beginning

But also the transition from south to north after closing the miracle machine

[delicate wharf]

makes sense to me

ill add that recipe to my file so I can have it if I find 5 basic toolkits before adv in this run

[willow hawk]

Remember you need 6 total

You don't want to loose the one you currently use xD

[delicate wharf]

true lol. Found 3 so far but gave one to a tech

[willow hawk]

So it's really to help bad RNG

I saw some people with 8 basic 0 advanced

[delicate wharf]

yea I haven't found anything in the magic cordon tent in this run but the last run I did I found 2 basic kits at once twice in there

[willow hawk]

Magic tent respanws every 3 days or so

[delicate wharf]

good to know

weirdly when I started this run the tent was empty

[willow hawk]

There's the Rostock burnt fuzz tower as well

[delicate wharf]

can that spawn adv?

[willow hawk]

And boats in the swamp

Toolkits in general

There's a file giving their coordinates

But I don't want to spoil the fun

[delicate wharf]

yea ill find em sometime. Im new to anomaly in general so lots to discover

[willow hawk]

Be sure to hit those marked stashes

Keeping fanatic helps immensely btw

Same with Hip

And Hip gives an basic kit as well

[delicate wharf]

I can never find whatever shotty she wants

also I tend to prefer not having companions in games so ill just loner it up

[willow hawk]

Yeah, bandits have it

Considering all the shit you need to carry it can be good xD

Helps with the low ammo in the start as well

But yeah I also played Anomaly without companions mostly

[delicate wharf]

its definitely the smart move to have a mule with you lol, ill just tough it out and run back and forth to carry shit

[knotty flax]

made sure ZCP wasn't activated and loaded up a a few new games at different faction bases, and none of them were populated. There are squads around but other than that its just traders. any advice?

[knotty flax]

Nvm got it fixed, thanks again

[crimson dune]

I pick up all these cool guns with low condition and parts like Scar H Black and m14 ebr. But seeing as im only 500 goodwill and can't buy the ammo or the rifle toolkits, i guess just disassemble them? So sad 😦 i guess i'll save them for now in a stash and just go back to them later

[gray current]

You can field strip them

Also the tools the technicians sell depends on the tools you gave them

[frail escarp]

when is this mod getting added to the pack?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hip-kardashian

peak modding

[obtuse rune]

Replacing parts doesn't cost toolkit charges either, so if you find one with just one charge you can still repair it

However if you right click and do any maintain parts it will use a kit charge

[delicate wharf]

This doesn't work, looks like 1 ingredient recipes aren't supported. This works (or at least shows in the craft menu)
x_itm_advancedkit = 1, recipe_basic_0, itm_basickit, 3, itm_basickit, 2

could also do 4/5 basic kits and something else as well

[willow hawk]

Interesting lol

Thanks for the tip

I'll add some metal scraps

[limpid saddle]

Is there anyway to make the minimap static and not rotating?

[willow hawk]

Check squareDOV page

[midnight shore]

If I just downloaded the mod, do I need to manualy update anyway ?

[willow hawk]

If you did a fresh install and clicked update during the install everything should be fine you don't need to update

[midnight shore]

ok

[modern fern]

Would it be a significant stretch to add English voice for say, kill-streaks, exhaustion, and acquiring and equipping new weapons? For Mercenaries and UN play threws?

[willow hawk]

I don't have the time to do it

but yes it's doable

it's only ogg files you need to modify

just take a look at voiced actor 🙂

for the new gun inspection thing, it's Grok's Doom–like Weapon Inspection you have to modify

You can easily upload this on moddb and this can be your very first addon

btw there's an addon to add all the english voices

to NPC etc

[modern fern]

Hmm, is voice actor a program?

Cause if it is I’d imagine you’d need a pretty 🎙 to get good quality voices

I’m still going to investigate it

[willow hawk]

it's an addon

installed in GAMMA

[near vault]

voiced actor adds voicelines to your character when specific stuff happens

@modern fern

you can look at how it works as an example of how to implemented voice lines into the game

[toxic grotto]

whats this addon called? ive looked for something like this in the past and couldnt find anything

[modern fern]

Cool thanks

[toxic grotto]

nvm i found a few easily now for some reason, lol

[wraith gull]

Is there a way to remove this green LUT ?

[near vault]

what do lut even stand for

[wraith gull]

Green tint

or maybe you can call it piss-green matrix tint.

[rancid spade]

What HUD FoV was Gamma intended to play with?

[obtuse rune]

default is set at 80, not sure if there's a set requirement

[rancid spade]

Nah just curious, I altered it a bit after installing and forgot what it was set as, assuming that was the intended one

[willow hawk]

Play with color gradient. Check Enhanced Shaders page

[indigo ferry]

when completing the rookie quest in cordon from Fanatic, the stash he assigned me to find was empty is that normal? I know when I did it before installing the GAMMA mod it had some artifact in it that was worth some money but other wise useless. I also noticed that every stash/box I checked in cordon that I knew about was also empty where as I had found random items in a few of them before GAMMA is that normal?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[delicate wharf]

Yes. That artifact now gives a perk so its removed. Also boxes will rarely have something in them and all other stashes are empty unless you have a mark afaik

[indigo ferry]

Sweet thanks, I had a bit of trouble with the installer at first but if that's normal everything else looks good so I think I'm in the clear now

[willow hawk]

What was your issues ?

[indigo ferry]

Well my main issue was that I just downloaded the installer from github since that's what I found first but it kept throwing errors because of the missing resources that included in the archive that's listed in the install section so that was my bad, the other issue I had was that that during the installation of the mods it just stopped at some point likely due to an internet blip so the game kept crashing I realized when I looked at the mod manager I was missing a fair bit of mods so I reinstalled and it seemed to be working then I noticed the stash differences which I figured was working as intended but before I invested many hours into the game only to find out I was never getting loot from stashes I wanted to check lol

[chrome kettle]

anybody know if its possible to disable mags mid save? i get CTD loading a save with mags Can't open section 'mag_ak_5.45x39_modern' as expected

[chrome kettle]

read #│📚manual lots of good info there

for gameplay stuff

[obtuse rune]

I would imagine no... since I don't believe that xray removes missing items from inventories

Hence the failure to open expected section

[warped ginkgo]

nope

i think

[chrome kettle]

RIP

oh well this time i'm just gonna debug and give myself some shit to start since this will be run # i don't even know which one

[willow hawk]

Oh weird you found the GitHub first !!!

I'll add some info in there then.

Where did you hear about stalker GAMMA?

[chrome kettle]

and i was fully kitted before

[willow hawk]

No you can't

If you enable mags you gotta stick with them

Just spawn some mags with debug if you need specific mags @chrome kettle

F7 in game after enabling debug Anomaly launcher

[indigo ferry]

That would be cool, I actually heard about GAMMA from your reddit post, I clicked the github link to checkout the mod list and then just downloaded the installer from there, once I had some issues with the missing resources I fiddled around with it for a bit then went back to the reddit post and noticed the line under the github link talking about joining the discord to get the installer and get help and such so I checked the installer link here

[willow hawk]

Ok. I'll add discord link in the GitHub. Thanks for the feedback

[indigo ferry]

Sounds good keep up the great work

[neat junco]

How do you use the camelback type items?

do they just need to be in inventory?

[willow hawk]

Put in armor artefacts slot

[neat junco]

Ah duh my armor just doesn't have any fair

sorry!

[willow hawk]

It's fine we have all been there

[neat junco]

The RF receiver beeps are suppose to get faster the closer you get right? I have a stash one from anonymous but having a hard time tracking it down

[obtuse rune]

Should be a package item, not a stash

[neat junco]

WHATS THAT look like then sorry caps

[obtuse rune]

Be careful when opening them, best stand near your stash

[neat junco]

yeah package

[obtuse rune]

It can look like a colored box, kinda like a toolbox size

[neat junco]

Hmm swear these beeps don't get fast enough to get exact location but I could be deaf as hell

[obtuse rune]

iirc there should be a second beep to indicate you're really close

that gets faster than the first beeping

[north turret]

Hello everyone i am having a small stutter while reloading some of the weapons who are not from the vanilla game is anyone having a similar problem

[storm obsidian]

you have to put the bullets in the magazine

[scenic current]

My reload animations are smooth, but some menus are getting slow when you play for a while.

[storm obsidian]

how do i get rid of campfire save function

[north turret]

Hum it could be because i have been playing for a while but it seems to happen quite often I will restart and see what happens thanks 🙂

[obtuse rune]

Yet another campfire saving is the mod

[storm obsidian]

just disable in mo2

i found it in mcm to disable it thanks for pointing it

[honest tendon]

question that ive legit never known the answer to: if armor stats are altered by condition, then how can I ever tell if an armor is better than mine?

[delicate wharf]

right now only repairing it

would be nice to have 100% condition stats in details

[obtuse rune]

You could setup the config editor to open the config files, but that's some adv user stuff

[midnight shore]

to play in DX8, do I need toadd stalker classic textures ?

Also with the Gamma Launcher, what are the extra steps to play DX8 ?

[honest tendon]

theres info on playing in DX8 in #old-how-to i think

[delicate wharf]

Are helmet and suit stats just additive? If so basically any suit with this exohelm is better than an integrated suit

E.g. the exohelm and my starter suit better than the duty pathfinder in terms of ballistic protection?

[obtuse rune]

I'm not sure, have you taken a picture of the inventory bars to see how they move?

[delicate wharf]

my understanding is that those aren't very accurate at least in some cases but it goes down when switching to pathfinder

[obtuse rune]

Huh, seems like an oversight / maybe vanilla thing?

Well to be fair the pathfinder is probably better anomaly/rad and weight carried

Plus with extra slots you can grab plates, or a full empty

[delicate wharf]

yea the extra slots are worth considering

[remote kestrel]

Are we ever gonna get the fan locations from other mods added to the game? I lovr GAMMA but its the same locations from anomaly and coc. Id love to see other locations from other mods added in as just more places to explore

[north turret]

Does Trader Overhaul override Gamma Economy? Do they work together?

[warped ginkgo]

from what i read, map editor sucks in anomaly, so not many people bother to try even make something with it

also you need to fix the path for npcs and other things, something like that

it's a lot of work

[remote kestrel]

Yeah but those locations should already have pathing and whatnot from the mods they were in… right?

[warped ginkgo]

not sure if it works like that

[raven grotto]

I noticed today that when you field strip a weapon to fix parts, the weapon will degrade once reassembled. is this normal ? or do i have something set wrong in mod options

[warped ginkgo]

its normal

the weapon gets dirty i suppose

[raven grotto]

well

that is less than ideal

thanks

[warped ginkgo]

[raven grotto]

i went from 98 to 55% just messing around in my inventory to fix stuff. i thought i was seeing things

[obtuse rune]

I think it's better to use tools and replace from that interface

Though I haven't tested that

[north turret]

Also is there any harm in removing squaredov from minimalist hud? It's kinda huge. I like my litle minimap.

[raven grotto]

ill take a look at some point. it would only really work if you have a decent spare set of parts ready to go

[obtuse rune]

Testing the % loss from just the field strip would be interesting, then using tools

[raven grotto]

it doesnt seem to reduce overall condition until you re attach the parts

[limpid saddle]

Ya gotta wash your hands more
