ok i found!

[solemn topaz]

how do you guys get part repair kit I cant find any

[fallow bluff]

Quick question: I just need to delete all the mods in MO2 to delete GAMMA, yes?

[molten tartan]

what repair kit are you looking for?

[molten tartan]

you can get them from faction mechanics if you have a good reputation with them but they are pricey. Something around 20.000 RU

[solemn topaz]

ty

[limpid saddle]

Some expensive shit right there, I'd rather just make specific repair kits and spam them

[willow hawk]

Part repair kit is useless

[delicate cave]

Dont lynch me but If I add HD models lite and Cr3pis ammo icons will the game work ??

[willow hawk]

#custom-textures @delicate cave

[delicate cave]

Thx a lot ❤️

[brisk zinc]

I've updated GAMMA and I found this unchecked, do I have to tick it? It's under DLTX
I'm not using MagsRedux btw

[fast fulcrum]

Leave the unchecked unchecked 👍

[left folio]

@willow hawk anyway to disable the kepmapping? or make changes?

[willow hawk]

You Can make changes but some keys are stored in scripts

So you need to change them

[left folio]

Yeah cause the keymapping binds still exist even if you change it in game keybinding.

Also, I haven't found zip in any hidden stashes. Is that intentional? Thx

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual yes it's intentional

[clever hound]

@willow hawk NightVision isn't working. I have equipped it in a slot and then pressing N. No, NightVision has batteries too. Is this a bug or smth ?

[vocal bough]

@willow hawk thanks. are you meant to eat to balance it out. because my guy gets exhausted just from walking. i mean that reflects me irl but thought stalker me would be more durable

[jagged tide]

Hold N

[jagged tide]

Here, hold N, not just press

[willow hawk]

Eat 650+kcal everytime your character is hungry + dfon't be overweight

[warped ginkgo]

fat stalker

[solemn topaz]

quest wants me to find the steamer artefact but there is none ?

[modern fern]

Is the “FDDA rework” under GAMMA fixes the option that was referred to in announcements to avoid the FDDA busy hands bug?

[clever hound]

Ohh, thx

[storm moon]

@solemn topaz search it in house on the left

[solemn topaz]

ty

[solemn topaz]

Do I need chemical res. for acid anomalies?

[modern fern]

It helps reduce the damage over time you receive when in acid pools/gas and reduces initial damage you get when you hit a acid anomaly.

Wether you need it or not is up to the circumstances

I’d say fire resistance is the best, there are areas where you can take continuous heat damage and even with the best detector you can still hit a fire anomaly as not all of them produce the air distortion which is your only warning

[solemn topaz]

ty

[cobalt charm]

How do i check ammo in my gun?

[covert plover]

is this normal cause i've been doing step 6 for almost an hour and red crosses are still there

[tepid wasp]

Do the new quests from Clear Sky end with the actions against the military in the swamps? idk if thats all...

[brisk zinc]

I had this problem as well, I suggest a clean reinstall of both vanilla and GAMMA, here's what I did:

• delete everything related to Anomaly vanilla and GAMMA
• restart your computer
• extract Anomaly vanilla, launch it, start a new game, exit
• extract GAMMA, open it (try with admin too)
• click "Allow PowerShell scripts" a bunch of times
• hope for the best

[warped ginkgo]

after you clean the machine yard in swamps, i think you need to complete the missions from spore too, then you move to the cordon to continue the quest

[tepid wasp]

ahh ok thx. i will check it out! 👍

[covert plover]

I did that too but ill try again

[modest mountain]

guys ı need help

reallly low fps drop like (20-30) at nights

but at day time its normal with high settings min 60 fps but at night its 20-30

does anyone can help ?

[vocal mortar]

So, I'm just wondering if I could get an Screencap of someone's character creation screen. The text looks rather poor on mine and I was wondering if it was just me or a general issue and could be resolved?

[vocal mortar]

Hmm lemme boot mine up and I'll get s screen cap of mine. My text is certainly not clear. But everything else looks fine.

[covert plover]

still the same issue

[warped ginkgo]

check the resolution, sometimes when i update gamma in video options my resolution goes to 800x600

[vocal mortar]

You are not only a gentleman, but a Saint and a scholar as well.

That was the exact problem lol

I'd been pouring over everything except the resolution

[warped ginkgo]

[covert plover]

same results after deleting and reinstalling the mod pack and anomaly. I noticed that it always say "Cannot find path 'C:\Users\lawre\Downloads\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1.Grok's Modpack Installer\dl.html'
ERROR: because it does not exist."

[brisk zinc]

I'm out of ideas then :/

It's the same error I was getting too

[warped ginkgo]

i would say try moving the gamma installer and stalker anomaly outside of the folder Users

just an idea, no clue if it will fix that

for example i have stalker and the launcher installed in two folders in C

C:\STALKER GAMMA
C:\Stalker GAMMA MO2\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1

[brisk zinc]

So it's like ".Grok's Modpack Installer" in one folder and the other stuff inside another?

I have all inside one folder in C:, never had a problem

[warped ginkgo]

i mean because some people had problems even with vanilla anomaly installation

no idea if it also applies to grok installer

[brisk zinc]

How can I get a log? Is CTLR + V the only way? I mean "stack trace:" it's not that helpful lol
I'm crashing every five minutes now, no matter what I do, new save, uninstall/install from zero, nothing

[warped ginkgo]

chek stalker/appdata/logs/xray_falcoman.txt

[brisk zinc]

Should be this one I guess

[covert plover]

thanks man it's still downloading but atleast im not getting error messages

[brisk zinc]

Good luck, it looks good now!

[covert plover]

thanks man

[light mauve]

cool skyline

[covert plover]

thanks man ❤️

[light mauve]

how much did it cost you

[covert plover]

it's a wallpaper

[rugged moat]

How do I update mags redux? it isn't a GAMMA addon so I wouldn't update it the same way right?

[light mauve]

oooof

[covert plover]

but i do own a s13 240

[light mauve]

oooooo

[covert plover]

project build sh*t box still need alot of work

[light mauve]

Is it your dream car

[covert plover]

one of em

[light mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-cheers-the-great-gatsby-coupe-glass-toast-gif-10657915

[covert plover]

yoooo finally no red crosses but these errors scares me

[warped ginkgo]

What errors

[light mauve]

Have the same errors but it still runs for some reason

[covert plover]

alright i've been hyped enough imma test the game out

[light mauve]

Runs perfect but lags at some areas

[covert plover]

but the game looks good tho

[light mauve]

Yeah but 200 plus mods can cause problems even with this old engine

[tepid wasp]

Ok i`ve done every mission from Spore to the Big Boss of CS (idk the name..) but still no more options. No cordon etc. Did i miss something?

[delicate wharf]

did you get the mission to see the cordon trader?

he gives you a quest to get some docs

[warped ginkgo]

mmm weird, i think spore or cold should talk to you about that someone spotted spoiler: ||Scar || around the zone and you must gather information to track him down

then you have to talk to sidorovich in cordon and a new dialogue unlocks

[tepid wasp]

No missions for the cordon trader. my last task was the cleaning of the military in the swamps.

[warped ginkgo]

did you install any custom addon to the modlist?

maybe something is overwriting the dialogue for sid

[tepid wasp]

nope. only thing i deactivated was the immersive sleep addon.

[warped ginkgo]

you also did the missions to track down the anomaly device in the swamps, then finding the missing scout at night right?

[tepid wasp]

anomaly device was the first i did. what missing scout? thats something new and i did not get a dialogue for that. hm?

[warped ginkgo]

you get a pda message in russian at night, like 3 am i think

to find a missing scout in the swamps

it has a timer i think, you have until 9:00? to find him or else the quest fails

[tepid wasp]

Never had a pda message. When its dark i sleep. 😄 But i will try this out. thank you sir!

[honest tendon]

hey why does GAMMA crash when I enter Jupiter?

seems to have trouble loading it, I also have followers with me if that could affect anything

[marsh hatch]

So guys

I'm about to update my game

According to the guide

I should delete the latest zips

However, in my case, they don't have that

just anomaly-exo.zip, and the two other

[warped ginkgo]

yeah i deleted those ones and was able to use the new version of mcm

[marsh hatch]

So, I should be fine without them right?

I can just delete them and update the pack?

[warped ginkgo]

yeah if you delete those zips, and then update the gamma data and then install again in the launcher they should be downloaded again

[marsh hatch]

nice, thank you for explaining

Oh btw

"You can also delete all the GAMMA and the numbered addons in the mods folder"

Should I do that too?

[warped ginkgo]

i didn't do that

[marsh hatch]

hmm ok

Maybe I'll leave it as it is

[north turret]

my winter mod is making everything look like this any fixes?

[molten tartan]

What is a good place to sell artefacts?

[willow hawk]

Sakharov

[molten tartan]

that is the guy in Yantar, right?

[jagged tide]

Yup

[willow hawk]

It's fine don't worry :)

[willow hawk]

Did extracting with 7zip helped ??? Other people got the same issue and I don't have a proper fix yet

[jagged tide]

How #931238326172794881 actually work? Does it really feed ingame or i read it wrong?

[delicate wharf]

I have an svds pmc that takes a rotor 43 silencer but I haven't been able to find one. Got lvl 5 loner traders and checked nimble

[fallow bluff]

Can I ask non GAMMA question here?

[jagged tide]

In #╟❓general-offtopic i think, not sure

[willow hawk]

No, just have fun

[small haven]

How do I adjust the red dot's brightness while on NVGs?

[delicate wharf]

When did you last update? I just updated today and the install changes to one of the addons made reddots usable with nvgs

[small haven]

I see. I haven't updated yet, thanks for the heads up!

[delicate wharf]

I posted a screenshot in bugs for something related to nvgs and reddots if you want to check it out

before the update it was just a massive green bright circle

couldn't see shit

[small haven]

Same, I was literally engaging bandits just minutes ago and it's nighttime. I was forced to switch to my PSO cuz tritium

[willow hawk]

You can't

[willow hawk]

Depends on the red dot

[subtle anchor]

it's not a bug. but here's wat I've got with the most recent install

What should I do?

[twilit kraken]

Hello, first time installing GAMMA. I follow all instructions carefully (no mods with red crosses etc) and I cannot launch the game. (AVX DX11). Is this common?

[chilly widget]

Had same problem did you install mcm menu it is mod that need to be put in anomaly folder that's how I fix it

[twilit kraken]

Could you elaborate please? I'm new to modding

[warped ginkgo]

Check

The log

In stalker/appdata/logs/xray_popchicle.txt

at the bottome should be the error

[chilly widget]

yes better check there first

[twilit kraken]

Ty @warped ginkgo, and @chilly widget too

[twilit kraken]

Having the same issue. I started all over again from step 6 few times but still happening. I disabled the mod in order to play tho.

[warped ginkgo]

how many mods with X you have?

[twilit kraken]

Only that one

[warped ginkgo]

you could right click It un mo2

And click on 'reinstall'

[twilit kraken]

Ty it worked again!

@subtle anchor try it out

Btw don't want to be cocky, but how could I install a translation for anomaly using this modular pack?

I swear this is my last question for today 😂

[warped ginkgo]

you can add it vía mo2

if i dont remember wrong the spanish one doesnt require anything manually

there is polish/spanish and no other language i think, aparte from russian

[twilit kraken]

I want to install spanish

Gonna check on ytb on how to install it

[willow hawk]

Check the first post of #│🔧troubleshooting

[willow hawk]

Just fixed it

[twilit kraken]

I'm useless

[shell oriole]

I've run into one issue several times already. So there are some areas, in which you start to rapidly accumulate radiation, but a dosimeter doesn't show the level of radiation in the area, only the accumulated one. Is it intended? Some random spicy air not registered by the tool?

[willow hawk]

Yes that can happen. Only the result matters: get out of here stalker

[shell oriole]

but I want to touch dead duties and take their stuff

also, is there a way to interrupt item animation? I'm having a smoke and some snorks chomp my ass off, and all I do is just run in panic while making some sick smoke rings

which is very funny but I kind of want to live

[willow hawk]

Nope

[shell oriole]

damn

Zone is tough

[steel mason]

Whenever I update Gamma using gamma installer, my user configuration and mod configurations get replaced by default preset that comes with Gamma, is there a way to back the config up? Or if i have to create a manual backup, what are the locations of config files?

[north turret]

the dynamic radiation zones added by grok do not register on dosimeter display or clicking sound

[candid plinth]

How do you turn on debug? i just wanna try out some of the weapons.

[torn jasper]

From MO2, select Anomaly Launcher and click Run, in the launcher enable debug mode, click Play, you will get kicked back to MO2, change Anomaly Launcher to DX11-AVX and click Run then debug mode should be active

[candid plinth]

Thank you so much

[covert plover]

i havent tried 7zip im using winrar but i'll try using in on my backup anomaly

[signal kraken]

This is probably a dumb question, but could the busy hands problem with FDDA that seems more prevalent with GAMMA be because of an issue with copying the bin and gamedata folders into the main anomaly folder?

Maybe the installer is messing up the process somehow

[willow hawk]

Hum no, I'm just patching Anomaly like how it should be done

It's just that there are tons of add-ons and FDDA is picky

The busy hands stuff happens with just FDDA enabled iirc

[signal kraken]

Okay cool, I'm not really sure how you're working your techno-wizardry so I thought that might have something to do with it

Because I almost never, if ever get busy hands with FDDA on my personal modlist, but it seems to be a prevailing problem with GAMMA for some reason

[willow hawk]

I don't know if this could be related to the edits I did to FDD

[twilit kraken]

Hello again. I was tweaking some video parameters since my game doesn't run stable but after that my game looked too bright (sky was literally white). I thought it was related to the ENB/BLOOM settings but didn't manage to fix it through that menu.

I ended up changing tonemap and lumscale variables in the console til my game looked nice enough.

Was this the solution? Why did it happen in first place? Thanks!

[fast fulcrum]

I had removed the deprivation from water now that I am further ahead in the game I would like to reactivate it but the game crashes as soon as I do apply. Is there a way to get her back?

[warped ginkgo]

grok configured it that way i think for the modpack

i also didn't like the brightness

[twilit kraken]

Did you change it the same way I did? It looks better now, but every time I look at the sky it's still too white than it should

[warped ginkgo]

mmm i also added custom skybox

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/2k-upscaled-skyboxes-almost-definitive-edtion

this is the one i am using

[twilit kraken]

I couldn't even install the translation, don't think I'll be able to do this without messing the game up hahaha

But thanks!

[icy oyster]

What if "deleting the shader_cache" is causing crash where the shader cannot be loaded ?

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[delicate cave]

Thats my first time in GAMMA maybe a stupid question but I'm using traders overhaul optional mod and no one sells any weapons or armors, where can I buy them?

[solemn topaz]

is there a way to get 7.62x51 ammo without being merc or freedom?

[north turret]

GAMMAs philosophy is to scavenge parts and repair your own looted weapons, or find them in stashes. traders do not sell them.

[icy oyster]

is there a way to remove the friendly fire (to avoid ironman idiot death) ?

is it normal in survivalist that in the loadout you have plenty of guns and stuff for 1100 points ?

if yes, why so lose ?

[willow hawk]

Craft or Clear Sky

[rugged moat]

How do I update just mags redux?

[delicate cave]

dammmn bruh

[willow hawk]

you install it manually

[rugged moat]

Should I delete what is inside the folder and replace it with the new one? Or install how you usually do on MO2?

[north turret]

dont manually install

[past dock]

Where can i find the army rifle toolkit?

[delicate wharf]

craft or a tech with advanced tools will sell

[past dock]

Thanks a lot, do you happen to know where i can find a technician like that?

[delicate wharf]

you have to bring them the tools

then let their inv refresh

[past dock]

oh i see, gotta find the adv tools then

[delicate wharf]

adv tools will also let you craft the kit

[past dock]

5.56 ammo only appears on vendors up north?

[delicate wharf]

I think it's 1k rep on NATO traders like cs or freedom

Same as 545 for wp

[safe oriole]

If I may, Going through the gamma install now but did want to ask, Is sleep deprivation gone completly or just to be left alone in the settings

nevermind I see the manual talks about sleeping

[warped ginkgo]

its been modified to gamma

need sleeping pills if you want to skip night

[safe oriole]

ah, I will give it a go

thanks!

[summer patrol]

so i recently updated my game and now the armor values and gun values on on a sliding bar again instead of it being just a number value. how do i get the other way back?

[hearty granite]

I wonder if there is anyway to increase the effect of SSR guys? Idk how but in my other modded Agressor-Anomaly (even if I do not use the ssr shader provided in agressor package), the ssr looks really standout compared to GAMMA

[rich acorn]

Is anyone familiar with the Stealth Addon?

Increasing the values in MCM will make me harder to detect or easier?

[amber grail]

First time installing and need some help it wont launch; after following all the instructions I hit Run and I get a loading bar that says 'preparing vfs' for a few sec then nothing happens. Same result no matter which DX i pick and whether its on C:/ or D:/ and after reinstalling and updating both GAMMA installer and MO2. Thanks in advance stalkers, cant wait to get it sorted so I can play it.

[graceful iron]

easier to detect i think

[graceful iron]

sorry i wont be of any help so you will probably have to wait for someone who knows about that and you can check #│🔧troubleshooting i guess

you could also read through the install again if you are not sure about doing a step correctly

[rich acorn]

I am a loner and I disguised myself as a Mercenary, however after I killed 2 bandits I lost reputation, is that normal??

[graceful iron]

yes thats anomaly

dont kill stalkers you are "friendly" with when disguised

[warped ginkgo]

after the game doesn't open, go to stalker/appdata/logs/xray_jedi.txt

and at the bottom copy and paste here the error

[balmy grotto]

Are there any known conflicts with Windows 11?

[vocal mortar]

Query, If i wanted to be able to buy weapons from traders, and or sell weapons to them. What specific portion of the GAMMA pack does that. And what other features does it control if i were to disable it.

[balmy grotto]

My installation seems to be missing mod number 1: it instead starts with Grok's main menu theme. What's mod number 1 and how can I restore it?

[warped ginkgo]

isnt mod n1 the separator that says 'audio'?

[balmy grotto]

Ohh, the separators count as mods?

I’m a novice to this so thank you

[fast ether]

whats this on the right bottom side of my screen

am i stupid? lmao

[warped ginkgo]

Stealth icon

You can disable It on MCM menu

In the stealth tab

[rich acorn]

it goes black when u are really well stealthed*

[balmy grotto]

Is there any way to check my ammunition in this mod?

Or enable an ammo hud?

Wait nvm

That compact hud is very neat

[balmy grotto]

What are some good graphical settings for making Gamma look as nice as it can? I notice that ReShade is installed but I am still seeing some pretty hazy graphics especially around trees and foliage

[errant summit]

I am not sure what problem I meet. Everytime I click "start" button after I choose the faction and the stuff for begining live, the game crached during loading the map.

[obtuse rune]

Go to Anomaly folder/appdata/logs/xray_NAME.log and attach it to #old-bugs

[amber grail]

this is the file that auto generates in logs a second after I try to launch, my appdata folder only has a single file; user.ltx

[icy oyster]

how. to. remove. CATS. ?

[errant summit]

I think I don't really understand the Installation step 9. what addons should I tick?

[tranquil lion]

Can someone please send the ui_icon_equipment.dds file (GAMMA Icons). With such icons

[fast fulcrum]

Anyone knows where can i get night vision goggles?

[delicate wharf]

vendors sell them at 500 rep or you can craft once you have basic tools

[fast fulcrum]

[spiral kestrel]

ehm well all of a sudden, when i aim in my sks scope, my stalker aims on the iron sight instead. is it a bug or did i press something during my last fight ?

[fluid jolt]

is there a guide in jupiter

[fast fulcrum]

THANKS!

[frosty acorn]

Is it normal for some weapons to not have animations for inspecting weapons or unique weapon jams? I've noticed this for the KS-12, the Glock, and the OS-Grotz, (At least for the inspection of the weapon). Is this an bug, or have these weapons not been included for those animations yet?

[warped ginkgo]

Some dont have animations

most, actually

[brisk zinc]

Don't know why but it's like this, I've downloaded and installed two times now

[willow hawk]

Yes some weapon don't have a check animation... :(

[willow hawk]

It has been updated yesterday night that's why. I need to implement the changes in GAMMA where ammo icons default will actually change to these :) .

But I'm recovering from my vaccine shot, major headaches currently, so I don't really have the energy to mod anything

[brisk zinc]

That's fine, I'm not using it right now since it's optional

Thanks for the answer, get well soon and take your time!

[tidal raft]

Do we still need the EFT reposition addons? They were unticked and at the bottom of my modlist after doing a clean reinstall.

[willow hawk]

Oh it has been updated then ?

[tidal raft]

There were no duplicates in the list.

Unless they have been integrated into.. something.

[willow hawk]

Was it the .8 or the old original one @tidal raft ?

[tidal raft]

.8

[willow hawk]

[tidal raft]

[tranquil lion]

[willow hawk]

Just updated

[willow hawk]

Which one do you want? The GAMMA icons mix ?

It's in GAMMA icons

[tranquil lion]

Yes, I just need one file ui_icon_equipment.dds by GAMMA icons mix, can you pls drop

[willow hawk]

yes let me do it

[tidal raft]

I see. I'll just move them into numbered order and check them, I guess?

[willow hawk]

@tranquil lion

[tranquil lion]

Thank you very much

[brisk zinc]

Every time I update GAMMA, my options in-game go back to default, am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to keep my options? Like some file to copy/paste

[willow hawk]

Check #old-how-to > update

[tidal raft]

There are profiles within Grok's Installer which pastes over your configs.

[willow hawk]

Before updating, make sure to save your user configs. You need to do this only once. Right click the GAMMA shortcut on your desktop, and click Open file location. Open the mods folder and create a new directory called My user configs. In that folder create gamedata/configs and appdata folders. Keep that folder open. Now open MO2, right-click the Anomaly_launcher.exe and click Reveal in Explorer. Go to the appdata folder and copy paste the user.ltx file of Anomaly to the My user configs\appdata folder you made. Now go to the Anomaly gamedata/configs folder and copy paste the axr_options.ltx file to the My user configs\gamedata\configs folder you made. Actualize in MO2 (double blue arrows on top), now you'll see an addon called My user configs, tick it. Your user configs are now saved and won't be erased everytime you update the game.

[fast fulcrum]

yes sorry i delete message because i read this note now 😮 sorry man this is perfect!!

thank you again for this awesome works!

[warped ginkgo]

@willow hawk What are you going to add from Lost STALKER zone?

[willow hawk]

Optionals, like dialog etc

[warped ginkgo]

👍

[oak kite]

Should I leav ZCP 1.5 hotfix unticked ?

[willow hawk]

yes

[late gull]

How do u delete the shader cache?

Nvm solved it

[late gull]

Hmm, i deleted Disable Enhanced Shaders, SSR and Beef's NVG and deleted the shader cache and now i get error while trying to load in the character

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk

I've updated three times now

I don't even know what I need to do

[willow hawk]

What the fuck

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk Okay, MAYBE it's fixed now

I have all this stuff in the wrong order but it shouldn't be a problem (I hope)

[willow hawk]

I mean

What the actual fuck

[brisk zinc]

I really don't know

All I did was this, the usual

[willow hawk]

Delete mods folder and update > install

Ah

Not if you have add-ons and ztuff you added indeed

And your user profiles etc

[brisk zinc]

It's all "vanilla", all your stuff

I didn't add anything

[willow hawk]

OK

Or easier

Just get the GAMMA modlist.txt

And put it in the profiles/GAMMA folder next to mo.exe

[brisk zinc]

Where can I find that?

[willow hawk]

Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_data

[brisk zinc]

Perfect

Same thing, it didn't change

Guess I'll install everything from the beginning, deleting the mods folder Is basically that

[fast ether]

so I tried reinstalling gamma since i went big dumb dumb on a mod for the mod list, and now today i did the normal installation for gamma and anomaly. and now instead of 200+ mods are installed its just 49 ;-; is something being updated?

[wind forum]

hmm i tried saving the configs as per the instructions but the game still launches in the default settings after update :(

[stark trellis]

anyway to make the game start in fullscreen or windowed? starts in borderless on boot and is off my screen to the bottom right a bit so i can't change the settings or even start a new game.

[warped ginkgo]

Open the console

And type 'screen'

[wind forum]

hi @willow hawk , is this correct for saving configs for update?

[warped ginkgo]

A command to change tonfullscreen

[stark trellis]

if I could give you an award I would. appreciate it homie

[little igloo]

Yo can someone guide me through the installation of YAWM

cant seem to get it to work

[willow hawk]

Yes

[wind forum]

thx again.

just trying to figure out why it won't load

i ticked it in mo2

:\

[willow hawk]

On the right panel, check out the files

To see if your addon has the Priority as expected

[wind forum]

it says the mod is from my user configs, although the name is red

is that fine?

they look to be in the correct location to me

[little igloo]

@willow hawk can you help me getting YAWM to work? I have installed it in MO2 but there is no snow and stuff

[willow hawk]

Check axr_options as well

[willow hawk]

#custom-textures

[wind forum]

i feel maybe it's because tehre are new addons?

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk Just to let you know that your last update might solved my issue, this is what I have now

EDIT: not quite, I'm missing like 100 mods

[wind forum]

the location was correct for axr too

[willow hawk]

Any errors in the black window ?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah, I'm installing again just to be sure because it's obvious that I'm missing something

[balmy grotto]

Anyone know how to increase performance on Gamma? I’ve got a 3080 and I’m running the basic graphics preset that came with the mod pack and somehow my frames are chugging along at around a steady 45-55 fps

Im wondering whether my laptop might be defaulting to my integrated graphics or some other strangeness

[brisk zinc]

Same here and I have a 3070, go figure

[wind forum]

lower grass density

also try setting to fullscreen instead of borderless

[balmy grotto]

Doesn’t the installation say very strongly not to use full screen

[wind forum]

on laptops it's worth a try

[balmy grotto]

Hm, alright

I’ll give it a whirl

[wind forum]

it's in potato pc optimisation

cuz of me actually lol

i just tried full screen and it fixed my performance issues

[balmy grotto]

Kk

Also, is installing shaders over gamma liable for brick my game?

[little igloo]

followed the instruction but now I get a shader error

[wind forum]

should i be deleting everything in the mods folder before installing the pack again? i feel the script has missed certain addons when downloading

like thap 2.0

[deep veldt]

After update my game will not start. Small anomaly loading screen shows then when it disappears no application window opens.

[late gull]

Need help, i'm not able to do anything, it's like my character is locked. Can't drink or eat, equip weapon etc

[deep veldt]

Probably busy hands bug. you might need to load game

[late gull]

I've restarted couple of times, i still can't do anything. I press on water bottle and nothing happens and im locked up

[covert geyser]

i turned off all the icon packs and i still got this ammo

how can i change it back to the original?

[deep veldt]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[deep veldt]

I have tried the 'Jar' fix in troubleshooting to no avail. Damn I guess I don't get to play gamma anymore untill updates/I get it fixed. 😭

[willow hawk]

Delete the gamedata and db files in GAMMA Icons

[modest mountain]

guys huge fps drop at Army warehouse

like %80 loss

any ideas or solition ?

[late gull]

Ty fixed it

[jagged tide]

Does ai_die_in_anomaly 1 do anything?

[willow hawk]

Warfare ?

[modest mountain]

yes , but fps drops only when gunshots started

[willow hawk]

Warfare will eat your FPS sometimes I guess

You can disable CVFX otherwise

[modest mountain]

but just only in army warehouse

weird

how can ı disable ccvfx ?

[willow hawk]

Untick in MO2

[modest mountain]

okay thanks

[deep veldt]

@willow hawk would you be able to help me or direct me to help with my crash at launch issue? I updated according to #old-how-to and I tried the 'jar' fix in #│🔧troubleshooting. When I choose launch option in MO2 the splash screen pops up then from there MO2 window images flashes, then nothing.

No program in task manager, no errors popping up. I tried to update again following directions to delete numbers and gamma mods from mod folder and anomaly-exo, combined, etc.-.zip before update.

[willow hawk]

delete bin folder from FDDA addon

[north turret]

It it usual to get errors during the install in the command widow?

[willow hawk]

no

[deep veldt]

Thank you Grok. I will try that as soon as I have access to my PC. I really appreciate your help and your work on this awesome mod-list!
Damn, unfortunately deleting the bin folder from 41-fdda did not fix my issue with launching

[deep veldt]

Is there a recommendation for "clean install" or similar? I would prefer not to have to DL all the add-ons again but I enjoy this mod-list so much I would like to figure out how to get it to run again.

[willow hawk]

for jar fix you need the new exe. Then you need to pick DX11 or DX8 in MO2. Using the launcher won't work

[oak wolf]

i downloaded a fresh anomaly folder and followed the install and all it does is boot me back to MO2. already did the trouble shoot fix of deleting the bin

[willow hawk]

are you sure you selected DX11 or DX8 ?

[deep veldt]

Thank you, I used MO2 to launch after selecting DX11 every time after install/update.
Is there a recommended way to 'clean install' or similar? Perhaps save anomaly root folder and Download folder to avoid re-downloading add-ons then delete GAMMA and reinstall GAMMA?

[willow hawk]

Clean install is : reextract Anomaly, launch it once, delete mods folder in GAMMA RC1 folder, keep downloads, and launch the GAMMA installer, update, install

[brisk zinc]

I was thinking, in the guide it says we need to create a "portable.txt" file but when you create a text file, it has already a ".txt" at the end, even if you can't see it, it's there
So... should we call it "portable.txt" like in the guide or just "portable"? I've always called it "portable.txt" but now I'm doubting about it

[deep veldt]

Would you consider reposting your message in a exclusive channel ( maybe install or troubleshooting) or pinning ? I think it could help out a lot of people. Thanks again Grok!

[delicate wharf]

the full filename including the extension should be portable.txt not portable.txt.txt. As a general tip I would turn on showing file extensions in file explorer always

no reason not to have it on

[brisk zinc]

That's exactly why I asked, because I had file extensions on...
So it's "portable", good to know, thank you

[cold ermine]

When downloading/updating mods using the installer, I get a lot of errors in the accompanying cmd window (not the green GUI installer), assuming there are no red crosses in MO2 should I ignore these or is there a risk of incomplete downloads and the modpack not being installed correctly?

[brisk zinc]

You mean in the black window?

[cold ermine]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

Check on moddb, maybe you're blocked

It's temporary, don't worry

If you're not blocked, run the installer again

[twilit kraken]

Hello! Is it normal that the directional audio is inverted ? I cannot play with headsets because if I hear shots/footsetps on my right ear, it means there's something in my left.

Is this common to the game or just a bug?

[modern fern]

So I’m trying to stay true to my factions colors and only use their armor, being UN is the only way to get better armor is to proxi IED them so I don’t flag his friends?

[north turret]

@brisk zinc do you know how temperorary? Mine said check back in 30 min, went past that now it says 42 minutes ago

[delicate wharf]

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing this. Are you sure you don't have your headset on backwards?

[twilit kraken]

Works fine on other games

[brisk zinc]

Unfortunately no, one minute and I'll know if I'm blocked too (Yes I am, I'm sending a email to moddb now)
The only thing to do is using a VPN and email moddb staff to whitelist us

[delicate wharf]

I guess check the sound options but that seems very strange

[covert plover]

how do i change optics? i was playing around with the m4 butcher and couldn't figure out how to change it to canted sights? i've been spamming 6

[obtuse rune]

V see #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[covert plover]

im so stupid i thought its 6 xD

[obtuse rune]

6 and 7 tend to remove the sight/silencer

[covert plover]

ohh that makes total sense now

[obtuse rune]

Probably a wording issue

[covert plover]

thanks anyways man

[past dock]

is there a fixed location for advanced tools or only random stashes? also do the mercs in the Zaton base respawn?

[modern fern]

Random stashes, additionally they need to be marked with the white, yellow, or red radiation symbol. You can’t loot each stash from memory to find em. Most will be empty and rarely contain anything more than one item if it’s not marked.

[past dock]

I see, thanks

[modern fern]

If you play frequently you may recall that you find tools/kits in randomly fixed locations as well laying in the open. Such as near the acid bath in garbage there tends to be some form of repair kit/ tool kit that spwns in the jeep bed near the concrete slabs/pipes near the bus

[past dock]

This helps a ton, i'm looking for those things all day

[modern fern]

I’m….like 50+ hours in and there are times I come back to my stash at a base with 3-5 of 2 types of toolkits. Once all location branches of your factions have all 3 tool kits you basically sell em at that point

@past dock Not to mention the mod pack contains recipes for basic, advanced, and expert tool kits in the work bench menu should the rng be absolute murder like it has been for some people.

[graceful iron]

wait you can craft all three types of tool kits?

i only have the advanced

in the recipes

[modern fern]

Don’t quote me on the basic but the other two for sure

[delicate wharf]

you can only craft advanced

no basic and expert

basically you can craft advanced so you don't cuck your progression with bad rng as it unlocks a lot of useful stuff

[graceful iron]

you can craft expert?

[modern fern]

Orly, could have sworn I saw all of them in repair parts

I can’t check atm

[modern fern]

Best to just check yourself, in repair parts tab of work bench you can craft at MINIMUM one of the tool sets

[graceful iron]

yes i know i can craft the advanced but i thought you could craft the basic and expert too so maybe mine was bugged but i guess not

[modern fern]

If I could I’d just post the photo of the recipe but I’m at work

[brisk zinc]

Where are those recipes? Do I need to find them first?

[graceful iron]

all recipes are unlocked

[modern fern]

Lol honestly at this stage of the game I only craft tier 4 detectors for an easy 10k

[brisk zinc]

Where can I see them then?

[modern fern]

Your faction base at the crafting table or that below

[graceful iron]

when you use a vice or use a tool kit of some tier

[brisk zinc]

[wide sedge]

so I seem to be missing a few mods, roughly 5. does anyone know why this might happen?

[delicate wharf]

The most common problems seem to be moddb throttling your connection or your hard drive being low on space. If you hit install on the installer it should check every mod and download ones you are missing and extract them

[wide sedge]

I tried pressing install again to see if it would download the ones I was missing, but no luck. they're all scattered throughout the list as well. it seems like the only thing I can do is download them all manually

[modern fern]

How hard is it to create a customized quest line for a faction?

If everyone gonna hate on renegades imma give a quest that will make ‘em interesting.

[gentle tulip]

@delicate wharf is right. It's only advanced

[obtuse rune]

I found 3 expert kits in Radar stashes on my way to Lab X-18

[delicate wharf]

what do you mean by missing? they aren't in /downloads? or they aren't in /mods? Or they are unchecked in mo2 or have a red x there?

[wide sedge]

They aren't in my mods folder, they dont show up in my modlist on mod organizer, they basically didn't download through the installer.

[delicate wharf]

so if they aren't in /mods they either didn't get extracted or they didn't get downloaded. Are they in downloads?

[wide sedge]

No I've checked there as well, I think moddb is having issues as some mods wont download even manually

[brisk zinc]

What about this?

[wide sedge]

I've done that as well, it has to be an issue with moddb

[delicate wharf]

yea it sounds like the installer is failing to download from moddb then. I saw peopel talking about switching download servers somehow? I haven't run into that so not sure

[brisk zinc]

The only add-on I had problems with is T.H.A.P REV ANOMALY EDITION, apparently the mirror used by Grok's script is offline

• other two but at the end it sorted out by itself

[wide sedge]

that was one of the mods that didn't download, and 5 or 6 others

[brisk zinc]

Put them manually then

You only need to put them inside "downloads" and then press "install"

The script will do the rest

I mean if you know what you're missing

[wide sedge]

I can't download them manually either though, i'm going through the list and downloading everything im missing, but some of them wont download at all

[brisk zinc]

You mean that the links that are inside that txt aren't working?

[wide sedge]

what txt? im not sure what you mean

[brisk zinc]

This one, you can find it in .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_data

[wide sedge]

my txt file doesnt have links any in

[brisk zinc]

This one?

[wide sedge]

regardless i know exactly which mods to download, there's a list of them. i think the problem is, the EU servers for downloading are over capacity

[brisk zinc]

Change mirror then

[wide sedge]

I've done that now and it's worked

[brisk zinc]

Now put those zips inside "downloads" and run the script again

It will install them

[wide sedge]

Okay I get what you mean, thanks.

[wide sedge]

also, are mods 194 to 205 supposed to be unchecked?

[obtuse rune]

They're optional so they may or may not fit well with the rest of the pack

[wide sedge]

Okay thanks

[delicate wharf]

i like the zcp experimental optional add on and a lot of people use the mags one but I don't enjoy that particular one

no idea about the rest

[royal laurel]

Is there a complete modlist somewhere? I have mods missing from my install and I need to find them.

never mind.

I have the modlist from github up but I can't find some of the mods. Right now I'm looking for 1-Audio_separator.

[delicate wharf]

thats added by the modpack so a simple update then install from the installer should fix it

it also doesn't do anything its just to organize the modlist in mo2

[royal laurel]

oh lol sorry for the dumb question

[warped ginkgo]

what?

you don't have the separators?

[royal laurel]

I said never mind

[icy oyster]

Hello, I have an army kettle, Jerrycan and the required items for a recipe. But it doesn't show the liquified fuel and so I cannot cook purified food. Why is that?

Oh OK, army kettle use charcoal only - -

Is it safe to eat stewed food like +75 msv?

[delicate wharf]

you can also cook at a campfire with it pretty sure

if you drink something with the food it will be fine

all drinks are -rads afaik

[icy oyster]

Army kettle on campfire isn't doing like liquified fuel

For itself, because it's "mid-tier" cooking device (running on charcoal)

[willow hawk]

It's unsafe because if a mod install is borked, the installer will still see it as "ok" while it's not.

I'll add a "Simple update" button vs "Complete install" one.

Simple update will just download and extract newly updated add-ons - and forcefully download and install GitHub add-ons

[willow hawk]

Yes

[icy oyster]

trader overhaul : ye or ne ? What's expecting if checked ?

[willow hawk]

No. It defeats the GAMMA economy and progression

[fluid jolt]

just did a fresh install, should these be enabled?

it wont launch

[willow hawk]

Eidolon yes, ZCP yes

[willow hawk]

I just made an update to fix that

[fluid jolt]

do i need to reinstall?

[willow hawk]

Update > Install

[icy oyster]

Anyway to remove "(BaS)" in weap descriptions ?.

[delicate wharf]

I think someone linked an addon for that here at some point. No idea if it works though

[jagged tide]

zcp yes

[willow hawk]

1.4 ZCP is ok for a harder and more diverse game

[jagged tide]

Agree but sometimes it pain

[willow hawk]

True

More random. Gotta escape some encounters for sure

[paper whale]

Is in the default GAMMA any mod active that changes the spawns? If so, what is it called?

[jagged tide]

Zcp

[paper whale]

do you mean AZCP? ZCP has a warning tag saying it is out of date.

[willow hawk]

Use ZCP 1.4

[paper whale]

I am unsure... is it this:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/survival-mode-remade-151 (sounds more like it gives modifying options, but doesn't change things itself)
or that:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/zcp-balanced-spawns (out dated)

[past dock]

So monolith drops the best NATO guns or that's just an impression?

[blissful tree]

So is it adviced to play with ZCP or nah?

[blissful tree]

Could be an impression, but sometimes they drop more unusual stuff.

[delicate wharf]

he means the experimental addon in optionals that comes with gamma

[paper whale]

k, but that is not included in the defaults as I have asked above. Anyway. So I assume there is no spawn changing addon in the default GAMMA included?

(thank you btw. I thought something like that at first, too, because I knew there was an unused ZCP, but I was unsure whether there was no used ZCP)

[past dock]

I see, is there a specific place where higher level enemies spawn? like masters. I'm in Zaton right

[delicate wharf]

im assuming rc2 will have it enabled by default

[blissful tree]

Think that place is fine, but you’re always better off storming bases for higher ranked enemies.

It all depends on the amount of enemies spawned in a place, but you can get lucky.

[past dock]

Do you know if the merc base in Zaton respawns?

the water treatment station near the transition to Jupiter

[blissful tree]

If an addon is not messing with spawns there, it should.

[past dock]

cool, thanks

[willow hawk]

Monolith overall drops the best guns with mercs and isg

[willow hawk]

In the default, no

[past dock]

is there a way to lie down? i can't seem to find a way to acess this stash

nvm it has to be the right angle

[tidal raft]

You can deep crouch by holding your "crouch key" and "walk key" at the same time.

[willow hawk]

Shift+Ctrl with default #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[twilit kraken]

Didn't know this either, thanks

[past dock]

thanks

someone knows where i can get the .338 lapua magnum ammo for the M700 Deer Hunter? haven't found it on vendors (only checked WP factions tho)

[tidal raft]

Some traders sell that ammo type at higher goodwill (see Relations on your PDA, numerical value). Vendors are: Spore from Clear Sky, Skinflint from Freedom, and Dushman from Mercenary.

[delicate wharf]

could also craft it

[tidal raft]

Once they find at least a basic toolkit and a gunsmithing kit.

[delicate wharf]

I mean if you are looking for that ammo I would think you have some kits

[past dock]

i do yeah

[past dock]

thanks a lot

[tidal raft]

Some people can get screwed over by RNG, or be very lucky with RNG and find the firearm early.

[delicate wharf]

yea but you wouldn't be able to make it usable without any kits

[tidal raft]

They could use it.

[icy oyster]

Is is possible to have friendly fire on ?

beeing shot in the back by a companion is painfull

espc. because of a tushkano 2 miles away

[bronze wedge]

Can anyone help, I keep crashing after killing a bandit in dark valley

[rich acorn]

go to your anomaly folder > appdata > logs > xray_"YOURNAME".log

open that .log file and scroll down until the end

[rich acorn]

after that, try and see if it says FATAL ERROR or something liek that and see why

Does anyone know if I store my guns into this box, will it dissapear ?

after some time ( respawn) or not?

[brisk zinc]

It should be safe to store guns inside that box

[rich acorn]

Thank you sir, thanks for the pun too

[brisk zinc]

What pun? I was serious...

In any case, iirc any box should be fine, as long as you don't use stashes

[rich acorn]

I know u were serious

but a pun came out too

that is safe to store them in a safe

[cursive cloud]

when i press the key 5, my weapon just disappears and i cannot pull out anything after that, i'm not sure if this is a bug or i'm just missing a keybind

[brisk zinc]

I obviously didn't get it at first, thank you

[brisk zinc]

5 is the default key for bolts, maybe it's really a bug

[cursive cloud]

yeah i think it is because i get some head bobbing like it's pulling out bolts but there's nothing visible

[rich acorn]

Who pays most for faction patches?

[cloud owl]

[fast fulcrum]

why if i click on maintain weapons parts nothing happen?

i'm on a vice and i have the clean item

[rich acorn]

Do you have the required tools?

look on the bottom right

what gun are u trying to fix?

Also quesiton: are the toolboxes/repairboxes random? or I should be able to find them on the world on certain spots?

[fast fulcrum]

dirty bolt and dirty barrels

of my sks

nothing works

it's a 100% repair but i have dirty bolt and dirty barrels

[rich acorn]

YOu need a historic wepaon repair kit

also you dont repair parts with clean item, you need a "file"

or a rod

you can right click on the gun to clean it

[fast fulcrum]

ah ok a rod eh mmmm thanks!

[brisk zinc]

This is the "File"

[fast fulcrum]

ok i have a rod click on it and the wepons don't appear

[brisk zinc]

Right click your weapon

If the weapon if 100% it won't show it but that's not what you need to do now, you need to maintain your parts

As Raul said, you need a "Historic Weapon Repair Kit"

When you get it, you right click on your weapon

And you'll see this "maintain parts"

[scarlet furnace]

Which mods are Grok's ballistic ballance mods?

[brisk zinc]

With that kit you can maintain parts

[fast fulcrum]

yes yes i don't know the historic weapon repair is needed for clean work's now!

thanks!

[brisk zinc]

Highlight your weapon when you're trading with the mechanic

You'll know what you need to use, see what it's highlighted

[fast fulcrum]

my weapons are full repair and clean now!

[chilly widget]

How to use blue bed shown on map?

[brisk zinc]

When you need to sleep, you just need to stay close to where the bed is

You'll see something like "Sleep (F)"

[chilly widget]

dosnt let me sleep I have try everything up and down the bed but nothing i have the bed icon that i need to sleep

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure you are in the right spot?

[chilly widget]

yes my friend cant sleep rookie village or farm

[scarlet furnace]

Nevermind. I found it. Also, where's magazines redux?

[brisk zinc]

Okay I'll go to Rookie Village

It's down there

[chilly widget]

yes i try same bad but nothing very strange

[brisk zinc]

Yeah very strange indeed

Already tried to save and reload?

[chilly widget]

yup i change the f key maybe i need to put it back and try ty for your help

[full pendant]

okay rookie village for some reason is hostile to me now, did dynamic faction relations cause that? I should add that a moment ago everything was fine and i got tourists with me which makes it really weird

[fast shadow]

Is it a bad idea to update the mod pack mid save?

Should I just wait for a new game?

[full pendant]

@fast shadowlast time i tried mid save the game was borked to hell

[fast shadow]

oof

[chilly widget]

Use key need to be on keyboard button to activate the blue beds around the world. I put mine on mouse key and didn't let me sleep.

[stoic axle]

Ayy, if I fix up weapons and give them to companions to use, do they degrade over time also?

[oak kite]

I remember installing GBOOBS awhile ago in my modpack and said that it only effects the player, is that still the case with this modpack ?

[icy oyster]

Sky is really bright, what can I do

I already put the skyblom fix tho

[twilit kraken]

I'm a newbie but I suggest to;

1. first restart your pc. There's a chance the reshading/enb might had a stroke and needs a reboot (it happened to me)

2. if that didn't solve the problem, go to the reshade menu and change some parameters (essentially tonemapping and lumscale variables) to your personal preference.

I don't know if this is a proper solution, but it worked for me.

[twilit kraken]

I lent Fanatic my L85 and I'm quite sure it degraded

[twilit kraken]

It happened to me while helping Fanatic with the boars for some reason. I was playing vanilla Anomaly at the time, without dynamic factions.

Thankfully it happened early so I restarted my playthrough.

[stark trellis]

has anyone made a YouTube video of them installing the mod for the autists out there? I'm braindead but have aspirations

tried to find it myself but only get videos for installing expedition

[twilit kraken]

The tutorial is quite straight forward

Go to #old-how-to

[stark trellis]

oh ive tried for 2 days now. got lightning bolts on half of the stuff and game will open but won't load the game world

has mod screen and new textures and such. just no go when hit go button

[rich acorn]

Is there a way to zoom in and out with the scope from sniper rifles?

[twilit kraken]

have you checked if you have all mods enabled in MO2?

[stark trellis]

all mods have been checkmarked. ive combed through troubleshooting as well.

[twilit kraken]

Because after my install I was missing like 7 I had to manually download

[stark trellis]

even reinstalled anomaly

[willow hawk]

Grok's Balanced Overhaul Of Ballistic System

[twilit kraken]

I mean not only that but also check if you have the full list of mods (ex. not missing no92 between 94 and 93)

[willow hawk]

you don't need to check mark all of them

only the non-optionals numbered that are at the bottom of the load order

[wind forum]

i think so but you can just go to the download folder to get the script that makes it affect all npcs and replace it in the mods folder, that's what i do

[willow hawk]

it's still the case

[stark trellis]

ah. there are numbers at the beginning as well as the actual priority list. i will fix and continue. thank you for help

[twilit kraken]

Btw any advice on where to find/buy/ how to craft a backpack for early game? Already used mine as a stash

I've checked the #│📚manual but I still don't understand how to craft it

[stark trellis]

some of the mods don't have a specific # in the name. also i can't find mod #1-5 for the list

or at least 1 and 2

[twilit kraken]

@stark trellis keep in mind separators also use a number, so you definitely have 1

[willow hawk]

You need a basic tool

[stark trellis]

so im missing 2

[north turret]

what is the "fun level" setting on WPO in the mcm

you can select duty, loner, or freedom "fun level" but no idea what that means

[obtuse rune]

iirc something about jams

[scarlet furnace]

That's the one I found, yes.

Thank you.

[queen mica]

does anyone has a torrent with all the mods? it takes forever to download them (its been 10 hours using the installer)

[willow hawk]

Try changing the moddb mirror ?

[queen mica]

how do i do that? i dont really see an option in the installer

[twilit kraken]

Oh, he meant the download of the zipped file

[willow hawk]

do it on the moddb website

[queen mica]

i mean, is there a way to skip download of some mods in the installer? like if i download it manually and extract to the folder?

I think this should work for the installer

[queen mica]

i was asking about the installer download, moddb list is fine but i am afraid to fuck up installing everything by my own

[fast shadow]

If you make changes to Gameplay -> Progession.diff and Gameplay.diff do you have to restart the game?

[vocal mortar]

Is there a readme or some description of what every mod in the pack does?

[visual current]

how does one get a weapon kit

i hate that i need em but i do

[rich acorn]

Golem, I was about to ask

i think u need advanced or normal kit and u need to make it

[visual current]

aight

thanks

[rich acorn]

i have big tip for u

u knw those stashes

[visual current]

yea?

[rich acorn]

usual ones are white and small

the green bigger ones have toolkits in them

for example this one

[visual current]

ah

i'll keep an eye out

thanks

[rich acorn]

ure welcome

[brisk zinc]

Something like this you mean? You can find them in stashes like Raul said or buy from mechanics

[willow hawk]

Not yet

[willow hawk]

Or craft them

[safe oriole]

Does anyone know how to make text in Mo2 Bold or Italic, if possible

[safe oriole]

No, Those settings can only be changed in game custom to each character and they all take effect when applied, spawn settings might take a bit to change.

[obtuse rune]

Use the wrench + screwdriver button to open the settings
Then move to the Theme tab, pick a style you like and hit the Explore... button
Open the theme you chose in a text editor, there should be a section starting with * {
In this section add font-weight: 600;
You can also change the default font size here
If you want italic you can use font-style: italic
Yes this is pretty much css

[safe oriole]

Thank you!

[visual current]

how do RF receivers work?

[obtuse rune]

See here for info #│📚manual message

[visual current]

thanks

[candid plinth]

May i ask an icon?

[vocal mortar]

Thank you, any ETA for the text or a direction to be pointed for a TLDR of the economy mods for gamma?

[delicate wharf]

if you read #│📚manual you basically get all the economy changes

[twilit kraken]

Hi I'm trying to repair some weapon parts with its appropriate tool but it doesn't wdo anything. I double click the tool but the weapon part doesn't appear on the menu.

Did I miss anything?

[delicate wharf]

weapon parts have to be >= 60% condition to be repaired unless you have a parts repair kit which is pretty expensive

[twilit kraken]

Oh I thought the 60% requirement was just a suggestion I'm dumb

Where do I find these specific parts since mine are under 60%?

Btw I don't like relying on rng to find basic tools. Early game is too difficult imho

[delicate wharf]

techs will sell parts, I think their selection is random not sure. Disassembling guns will get you >60% parts a decent amount of the time as well. If you cant find a certain part you can just replace it automatically with a 100% part if you have the right repair kit

Also the early game is supposed to be difficult

Never had issues with finding basic tools in the first 1-2 days though

Just doing random quests and hitting up stashes or going to some of the world spawns will get you them ez

[twilit kraken]

Ty will try again tomorrow, I'm tired for now

[vocal mortar]

I'm looking to see what mods do what so I can tailor my experience without going through 48 hours of troubleshooting lol

[delicate wharf]

I guess just read the moddb pages for each mod and then the gamma specific add ons you can just skim the GitHub. Shouldn't be too hard

[vocal mortar]

From what I've found most of them aren't on the ModDB

But I can try the github

[delicate wharf]

The gamma specific addons aren't but most of the other mods are

[vocal mortar]

I believe the trader changes are gamma mods. From what I've been digging. But based on the load order even if I enabled the trader overhaul (which appears to be the only one affecting traders overall aside from things like BaS) is a moot point with the gamma mods focusing on economy taking priority

[delicate wharf]

there are instructions for that somewhere if you want to use traderoverhaul

just search

and yes the economy changes are gamma mods since that is basically the point of this modpack

[queen mica]

is there any way to turn debug menu on? i want to check if bas weapons still crash my game

also any tips for perfomance? i5 8500+1660 super gives only about 50 fps with drops on mid settings

[gentle tulip]

i find 'wet surfaces' can tank my fps (1070) when its raining. Also you could try dialing the grass settings down

[delicate wharf]

select anomaly launcher in mo2, start it, tick debug, close, select your previous anomaly exe. Play and and it should be on. Took me 2 tries for some reason but it worked

And yea grass settings are the killer afaik

[queen mica]

thats kinda sad, expedition gave better fps but i didn't have any mods on top of it

i guess i have to turn everything down

btw any1 tried any autumn pack? which one would you recommend?

[wind forum]

lower grass density, lower ambient occlusion quality

[queen mica]

doesn't work sadly, debug is set on in launcher but nothing happens if launching the game with mo

[delicate wharf]

yea it took me like 2 times starting the launcher and game to get it to work not sure why

but then it just magically did

[wind forum]

same

somehow it's like that

[fresh fiber]

Will we be able to continue our RC1 runs on the RC2 or will there be breaking changes?

[rich acorn]

Does anyone know how to turn on the Nightvision? I tried N and nothing happens

Does this "headlamp even have nightvision?

[delicate wharf]

hold n

it does

[rich acorn]

uuuu

thank u soo much

sexyy

time for some splinter cell action

[obtuse rune]

I noticed that even though 2d shader scopes is in the scopes still cut fps in half like pip scopes do

[queen mica]

bruh i relaunched everything a dozen of times but debug menu is still inactive

is there a console command to bring it?

[obtuse rune]

So you opened the launcher through MO2 and checked then hit play?

Don't think there's a console command for it

[queen mica]

yea

[obtuse rune]

Huh that's how I get it on

You could try through the vanilla install

and then launch gamma

[wind forum]

RC2 includes at least one addon that you have to start a new game with if you want to use it

[delicate wharf]

ill def be starting a new playthrough with rc2 just to check out all the changes

basically done with my current one so good timing

[queen mica]

yeah, finally that worked out

thanks m8

[wind forum]

same although i doubt i can finish my current run, but the lost zone addon is tempting because it changes the maps to be more geographically accurate it seems, and there are also faction relations changes that look interesting

[queen mica]

how do i fix leg? i tried using health pack and bandages but yellow bar won't convert to actual health

[delicate wharf]

#│📚manual

healing

[queen mica]

oh thanks

[brisk zinc]

Does anyone know what artifact I'm missing? I've found one Tapeworm but apparently it's not what I need

[modern fern]

I’m doing the UNISG quest line to investigate the labs, currently in lab 16 but can’t find documents anywhere. Usually they are at the top floor next to the last switch that shuts down the brain scorcher but that’s not the case. Also they aren’t found in the final room with the controller before dropping down the hole. Any clue?

[modern fern]

In the center of the controller room…a bright white square…

https://tenor.com/view/hide-hiding-nope-embarrassed-ashamed-gif-5350385

[brisk zinc]

Found it... it's not there, it's here... it was the first place I wanted to check before actually going to the marker

[oak wolf]

Does fanatics final quest of finding the stash only give you the quest complete? Does it no longer come with the free ball artifact?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, no Free Ball

[oak wolf]

so sad

thank you

[brisk zinc]

You can keep the first artifact though

[queen mica]

how do you sleep in this modpack? it keeps telling me that i'm not tired but it's been like 2 days already

[modern fern]

Certain drugs and food reduce your sleep meter

If you want to be sure something’s not broken pop a set of sleeping pills. Should bring you to red and see a bed icon at the bottom right

[graceful iron]

dont drink too many energy drinks or take any drugs that reduce sleepiness

having messed up sleep times in the game can really slow down your progress

[modern fern]

Well, unless you have a surplus of batteries.

[daring bison]

just for reference how many mods should be enabled for a default configuration of the pack?

[obtuse rune]

around 220

[rich acorn]

I keep gettind the message "A safer place is needed for sleep" even tho I am inside freedom base( i am freedom too) with nothing around

[rich acorn]

about 250

less than that

I just added my own on top of them

[tranquil lion]

@rustic comet *Pixelmix mini for upper
Pixelmix regular for lower, both 8px

And no antialiasing, ofc*

Do you use Photoshop or some other program?

[rustic comet]

No only ps

[tranquil lion]

[rich acorn]

is there any way to open this locked door at the mercenary base?

there is a stash behind it

[jagged tide]

In orginal - weapon glitch, drop a weapon right next to it

It should stuck in a space between the door and the wall and brake it

[north turret]

Do most BAS upgrade kits have to be found?

[willow hawk]

You can buy them

All of them

[north turret]

Is that how it always is or with the trader overhauls? I've done bas before and as a loner I couldn't buy a lot of them with all ally traders at max goodwill. I didn't have any trader mods on though.

I could buy some but they were for pistols and none of the "best" ones

[cursive blaze]

I prefer OG ragdoll deaths. Any way to turn off the death animations? Uncheck Stealth_2.0_Death_animations?

[willow hawk]

yes

I also turn them off kek

[sick ermine]

@willow hawk how to use your modpack in 21:9? i mean the BHS HUD, is there a guide or something like that?

[covert kestrel]

sorry to bother you guys, but does the extra 145 non-G.A.M.M.A mods in my MO2 download folders need to be manually installed?

or did i mess up a step?

[sick ermine]

mine isn't in MO too, seems normal that the 145 is not active

[covert kestrel]

manual installation it is i guess?

[sick ermine]

i don't even have it in my mo2 download folder, so dunno

[soft root]

where did the installation guide go

oh nvm lol

pressed wrong button

closed channels

[willow hawk]

It should work in 21:9 ?

[sick ermine]

yea it works but the hud is stretched, is that normal?

[willow hawk]

Yes and no, gotta deal with it 😛

as long as it works I'm good

If I remember well there's a 21:9 patch for GBHSR

[sick ermine]

ok yea, no problem man, is already awesome you're doing so much stuff, i will try to fix at least the psy bar

[willow hawk]

Check GBHSR archive there's a 21:9 fix

you might need to merge it with the GAMMA UI files

[cobalt charm]

Hi, great modpack, thank you for your hard work, loving it. But i have 2 questions, can i disable the mod that prevents me from sleeping? The "im not tired" one, it doesnt really makes sense, that after a long day of travel with 60+ kg on my back, fighting and healing with stims, my guy doesnt want to sleep, even tho my rest meter in inventory is 2/3 empty

Also how do i check what armor or suits are good, they show bad stats since they are always ruined, and i dont know which one would be better to repair. At least when they were still available at traders i could compare them to each other and choose what i want to get

[brisk zinc]

Right click on armor > Details

[willow hawk]

Disable GAMMA Sleep balance

[icy oyster]

What do you do guys when your game doesn't load because of shaders (and you deleted many times the shader_cache + reboot 10x)

[willow hawk]

activate all the addons

[icy oyster]

pardon?

[spiral kestrel]

i got 3 companions, and for some reason, now, when "fire at will" is activated, the loner one wants to kill the clear sky one. can i reset their behaviour somehow ?

[icy oyster]

Run update/install and now I have duplicate

What did i wrong ? How am i supposed to clean this up ?

#old-how-to message

oof

[obtuse rune]

Note: in MO2 you can right click on a mod and manually set the priority without dragging it

[willow hawk]

Yes. You can delete mods folder before updating but you will loose your custom add-ons

Otherwise clean duplicates yes

[icy oyster]

Thanks, I could save my addons, and did the right way as describe in #old-how-to

[ripe spear]

So anyway, my powershell is showing this, idk if it's bugging out or it just doing its thing. Should i be worried, also my files is still being downloaded as of now

[willow hawk]

Did you try to download an addon on moddb manually ?

[ripe spear]

negative, i'm using your launcher

[willow hawk]

No, but try

You can be flagged as a bot

And downloads are failing

Like if you tried to install gamma several timesn

[ripe spear]

actually, i lied. I did deleted my Anomaly beforehand because it kept crashing on Rostok and Agroprom

I redownloaded the game and clean install tho

[willow hawk]

Just.... Follow what I'm writing ;)

[ripe spear]

gotcha

:]

[willow hawk]

Try to download an addon on moddb right now

With your web browser

Does it work?

[ripe spear]

yesh

[willow hawk]

Ok

[ripe spear]

EFT Aim Rattle does let me download straight from moddb

[willow hawk]

Ok

Can you screenshot the GAMMA RC1/downloads folder?

[ripe spear]

yes

umo mento

[willow hawk]

[ripe spear]

don't look at the bottom, i'm ashamed.

[willow hawk]

League kek

[ripe spear]

look man, tft is fun :[

[willow hawk]

Ok can you screenshot the GAMMA RC1/mods folder ?

I also play tft don't worry

[ripe spear]

hey wait, why is there a mod called "Horror Overhaul"?

[willow hawk]

I think your error can be a failed download due to moddb bad mirror. Just let the installer run. At the end, you'll just need to relaunch it, it should get the missed downloads

This is improved in the new launcher that I'll upload anytime soon

[ripe spear]

SoonTM

one more question, do i need to install additional addons such as Reshaders, BaS or JSRS?

or is it already in the GAMMA pack?

[willow hawk]

No no no all you need is there

[ripe spear]

oh aight

[willow hawk]

You can check addons in the modlist in #📢announcements

I - still - need to make a comprehensive list of all addons and what they do

[safe oriole]

I am sorry to butt in, is there anywhere to get an idea of setting reshade bloom up?

[willow hawk]

No issues brother. You can press the Home key (or Orig key) and change the reshade values for the bloom

[safe oriole]

I appreciate it, Other then the intensity setting, are there any 'Central' sliders, or are all of the options to be adjusted, if I make sense.

[ripe spear]

I feel like a doofus for saying this, but i can't find the modlist.

[willow hawk]

#📢announcements message

@ripe spear enjoy the new installer if you want

[waxen citrus]

How do i do this step when updating: Now open MO2, right-click the Anomaly_launcher.exe and click Reveal in Explorer

[ripe spear]

I'm still installing the mods via old launcher

[waxen citrus]

thanks

how do you actualize in m02

[willow hawk]

@waxen citrus

Note that, with the new updater, this is not necessary anymore...

but it's a good practice to keep your stuff safe anyways

[viscid swallow]

Currentyl stuck on the last dawn mission you get from spore

The one he asked you to pick up a detector

I cant find it

Been all over the swamp

[tall charm]

I know im doing something wrong that I should be seeing but

these are the files that are part of the updated instaler

Dont I just replace the resources folder here with the older one in the GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer folder?

wonder what im messing up

[willow hawk]

Just extract it on top of the files

[tall charm]

got it

https://tenor.com/view/metalslug-gif-7308994

[fast shadow]

Anyone know about inventory reskins? I use a different reshade and it makes the inv a little unreadable.

[daring bison]

anyone know what the reshade hotkey is? the sky is kinda flashbanging me a bit and making it hard to see

[covert geyser]

its the "home" key

[halcyon mural]

Question: the moddb mirrors, are they US mirrors by any chance? I'm in the UK and the downloads are quite slow. I was wondering if they can be changed to EU mirrors?

121
123
124
126
127

[ripe spear]

Question, do i hit Complete GAMMA install after i finished updating it?

[waxen citrus]

anyone have a good list of settings?

[brisk zinc]

I think the "Complete GAMMA installation" it's just for the first time, then you can just update normally, I did Update GAMMA **data **> Update GAMMA **installation ** ten minutes ago and everything was in place
Now just for the sake of it I've run the "Complete GAMMA installation" and I'm full of errors, modlist messed up with things not downloaded, so I guess it's pretty safe to say "just use the update button"

[ripe spear]

uh oh

no wonder my drive is being bloated

FU-

[brisk zinc]

And I'm blocked too (again)

Not bad!

EDIT: they unblocked me after like two minutes

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it messes up the whole mod list, both folder and MO2, as I said before it is to be used only for the first start
Lesson learned

[ripe spear]

uhh

what should i do now :[

[brisk zinc]

What's your problem?

[ripe spear]

the drives went from 50gb free space to 20

help.

pls

[brisk zinc]

Okay, first thing first

Did you click on "Complete GAMMA installation"?

[ripe spear]

sadly enough yes.

[brisk zinc]

Check your "mods" folder then

[ripe spear]

which mods

GAMMA or Anomaly?

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA

One sec I'll give you the path

Where you extract the modpack like C: > GAMMA > mods

[ripe spear]

aight, i see it

my finger is already tired from scrolling, but go on

[brisk zinc]

If it looks like this, you're fine

If it isn't, delete it

[ripe spear]

well, it looks like that

plus the GAMMA folder below

what can i assume is patches

[brisk zinc]

How many folders do you have?

[ripe spear]

259

[brisk zinc]

Me too

Did you by any chance did the installation all over again?

My entire folder weighs 31,3 GB so it checks out your 50 GB > 20 GB
