🔨base-gamma-support

[willow hawk]

Yes but you can disable that easily

[marsh hatch]

well

my run is fucked now

I guess I'm gonna create a new one

[willow hawk]

why ?

[marsh hatch]

well

for some damn reasons

am_I_reached

that damn error

[willow hawk]

screenshot your MO2

[marsh hatch]

ok

[willow hawk]

Did you try a clean install ?

[marsh hatch]

yes

After the black screen incident

hmm

which part do you want me to screenshot?

The gameplay part

and the overall installation

No red crosses

[willow hawk]

57 missing ? 😮

screenshot the whole thing

[marsh hatch]

alr

well

I don't use perk artifacts

is it necessary?

[willow hawk]

I don't think so

did you change / removed other addons like this ?

[marsh hatch]

no changes were made

[willow hawk]

your issue is associated to the find shelter task

[marsh hatch]

yes

the emission thingy

[willow hawk]

Maybe try to disable the TB addon that adds new safe places ?

let me find it

[marsh hatch]

I'll disable it and try it out

[willow hawk]

sharing your save would help

solved a bug yesterday like this 🙂

[marsh hatch]

ok

all saves?

[willow hawk]

it's in appdata of Anomaly

no no

just the one you load before the crash

[marsh hatch]

oh, before the crash?

[willow hawk]

119-TB_Coordinate_Based_Safe_Zones_v1.5

[marsh hatch]

well

[willow hawk]

disable that one

yes please

[marsh hatch]

yeah, disabled it

hang on, gonna boot the game up and check, since my saves are relatively close to eachother

[willow hawk]

Ok

[marsh hatch]

aight

[willow hawk]

?

[marsh hatch]

My save right before the emission hit

next to Sport Centre

[marsh hatch]

soo?

How's it going?

[north turret]

I'd appreciate some help with Reshade. For some reason I can't activate it in game. It just doesn't work even if I sellecte the GAMMA ini file. I see there's much more in the ini file than it's selected in game. Just the bloom basically.

[willow hawk]

Yeah that's normal

Now there's also the Ambient Light

[north turret]

Oh... That's the way it is?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[north turret]

Alright, it was kind strange because it looks very bland. I thought there's something wrong.

[autumn bloom]

Will disabling immersive sleep require a new game?

[willow hawk]

Nope

[willow hawk]

I'm improving it. I'm aiming for something vanilla like I don't want over the top Expedition bullshit

[marsh hatch]

welp

I sent the wrong save

Sorry, Grok

There we go

oh btw

I survived through the emission

but it crashed again with the same LUA error

[willow hawk]

Hum let me see

[marsh hatch]

I played without the TB's Coordinated Safe Zones this time

[cold ermine]

I saw the MP7 icons and new weather updates in #📢development but the installer doesn't find any updates, is this normal?

[willow hawk]

yeah I didn't change the version yet

I want to push more things

[silent garden]

is lost stalker zone integrating well into gamma? im really intrigued by that one

[north turret]

Hehe, maybe Expedition is the damn case why I find this to be very bland now xD I've played it for a couple of days. It looks fine most of the time but my oh my is that thing unpolished...

[proud glen]

If I tear a patch off a suit, do people just see me as my own faction?

[north turret]

I think yes

[covert kestrel]

yeppers, but you can only reattach the same patch you removed

and you dont get a patch if you tear it off

[proud glen]

ok, just wanted to make sure mercs wont see that im wearing a stolen merc suit with patch ripped off and shoot me on sight or something lol since im clear sky

[silent garden]

yeah that doesnt matter

[marsh hatch]

how's it going?

[gentle sphinx]

is there anyway to fix it when the tooltip gets stuck on your screen in the crafting window?

[willow hawk]

let me see

[marsh hatch]

ok

[willow hawk]

Just don't play in warfare without the warfare alife mod

I think that's your issue

I don't provide support and bug fixing for warfare because warfare is a mess

[willow hawk]

loaded your save, nothing happens

[marsh hatch]

hmm

weird

then what the fuck my game fucked with

[willow hawk]

Ok the emission started

[marsh hatch]

ok

[willow hawk]

mission compelte no crash

just don't use Warfare mod on a toaster without being properly modded for Warfare, that's all

Even on my i9 9900K + RTX3070 I have like 30 fps with your save

[marsh hatch]

ok

soo

[graceful iron]

save/load its an anomaly bug

[marsh hatch]

new run?

[granite orchid]

Is it just me or is there like almost 0 point in going further north than like red forest ?

other than doing yellow quests the best way to make money is rostok tasks, and if you want goodwill

you stay at army warehouses for freedom , rostok for duty, yantar for ecologist etc

I just went to yanov station in the hopes of getting more freedom tasks since there is a freedom base there

but no one is giving me any tasks

kind of a bummer

Would be cool if we had harder and harder tasks the higher up you go, but with huge money rewards or smthin idk man. I've played anomaly quite a bit of time now, and I swear to god like 90% of my gameplay is around rostok

[marsh hatch]

Uhh

[dapper iron]

How do you have HIP as companion early on if you cant buy her shotgun?. She was my mule in vanilla and enemy detector xd.

[marsh hatch]

Should I enable/disable any mod or straight create a new run?

how do I disable warfare?

[granite orchid]

gotta start a new run

[marsh hatch]

welp

ok

this run is fucked anyways

thanks

[granite orchid]

np

[gentle sphinx]

I always viewed going north as like an expedition. I have certain tasks I need to carry out above the scorcher so i load up on supplies and go. Rostok being my base camp.

[granite orchid]

The problem is I'm mostly a competetive MP game kinda guy. I have this weird NEED to optimise every single thing ever.

And for my playthroughs I just CANNOT find a reason

to go further up

Unless its the yellow quests

[gentle sphinx]

Trust I am too. But playing stalker I just relax and absorb the world. Idk different strokes i guess

[granite orchid]

I rly think this kind of issue is fixable though

It would be rly cool if we could actually yknow use the 50% of the map

that we're not playing in xD

[gentle sphinx]

oh for sure

[granite orchid]

Speaking of this yeah I used to do this in anomaly aswell, while still optimising money making etc since I wasn't so used to the maps.

Now that I've played this for like a year.

I know all of the maps like the back of my hand and I just sprint around everywhere cuz I know the usual spawns etc.

Know whats safe whats not

Just kills the immersion completely

And when I say all of the maps I mean Cordon,Garbage,Swamp,Army Warehouses,Rostok,Truck Cemetery,Dark Valley,Yantar

The others I swear to god, IF I've played stalker for like 1000 hours lets say

I've been in them for like 100 MAX

[gentle sphinx]

Same here, I';ve been playing the series on and off since 2008. Which is why i love GAMMA because it changed the entire progression for me

[granite orchid]

Yeah I did the original trilogy when I was a kid.

And I got in to anomaly like a year ago or 2 . And i've played it on and off.

But yeah general consesus is I just wish there was like a BIG reason to go further up north other than the main storyline quests.

You do sometimes get tasks to kill ppl up there but you would be stupid to take them ;/

[gentle sphinx]

theres the skadovsk boat up there i think its called which is kind of a gathering place for stalkers

[granite orchid]

Yeah the issue with it is that its a loner base. By the time you get up there

you would have like 1500 goodwill with loners already

[gentle sphinx]

thats true

[granite orchid]

I feel like the anomaly dev team focused allot on the lower half of the map

And left the top side empty basically

You could have Yanov be a second place where you get tasks for freedom so you can farm goodwill faster. You could have like a random duty base somewhere up there aswell.

[proven lynx]

they didnt make the maps

[granite orchid]

Oh yeah ik but they did place allot of the npcs.

[proven lynx]

well

[granite orchid]

Some of them are same spots

[proven lynx]

most of them are same spots

[granite orchid]

But the decision to make Yanov freedom only and also have them give next to 0 tasks

is up to anomaly team

[proven lynx]

i mean they could've yeah but they didnt so

[north turret]

i just installed everything according to the instructions, is it normal that not every mod in MO2 is checked after installation?

[hushed apex]

Yes

[granite orchid]

yes

[vale horizon]

i need help installing the game can anyone help.........

[north turret]

so does everything need to be checked or just keep it as it is?

[hushed apex]

You can keep it as is but you can also enable unchecked mods if you know what they do but do it at your own risk. It may cause the game not to run, i'd say just look though the list, look if any of those uncheck mods look familiar, turn them on and one by one and see if the game still runs properly

thats why I did at least

[gentle sphinx]

leave modlist as is. the only ones you should mess with are the ones in the optional drop down

[brisk zinc]

Does anybody know where this is? It's a yellow quest and it doesn't have a marker on it, incredible

[fallow flame]

Is is possible to just install the Dynamic Radiations Mod by itself? 😇

[frozen pawn]

in the new installer does "complete G.A.M.M.A installation" redownload all the mods or just the ones you don't have

[fast fulcrum]

I found it on the second floor of the agroprom near desks in an L-shaped room

if that's what I think

[delicate cave]

Do I need to update GAMMA installation or update Gamma data for installing new weather tweaking and reshade??

[brisk zinc]

I'm doing a quest for Pirogov

[fast fulcrum]

yes this!

[brisk zinc]

Agroprom it is, then

Do I need to go where all those military soldier are?

[delicate cave]

@willow hawk Do I need to update GAMMA installation or update Gamma data for installing new weather tweaking and reshade??

[brisk zinc]

Update

[delicate cave]

of what

[brisk zinc]

Okay I've read that one better, sorry

Do this:

Of course you need to be on the last version of the installer

[delicate cave]

thx for the answer

[brisk zinc]

If something doesn't change in the future, this is what you always need to do when Grok update the pack

[delicate cave]

Thx there is a way that keeps my mod list like how I'm using cuz every update modpack activates whatever mods it wants to

[brisk zinc]

Don't think so, we need Grok on this but I still think there isn't much we can do (or he can do)

It's an automatic thing

[delicate cave]

Thx for answers

[brisk zinc]

@fast fulcrum do you remember in which of the two do I need to look?

[fast fulcrum]

in one of the two where there is the arrow on the second floor if I remember correctly. There is an office type room with anomalies inside

[brisk zinc]

Okay I'll go there, let you know if I manage to found it

[last hill]

my game keeps crashing in approgrom undergound, any1 have any ideas how to fix?

[warped ginkgo]

Well search what the log sayd

[last hill]

the log in the appdata right?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Anomaly\appdata\logs

Look for a file named xray_yourname.log

[jagged pawn]

what does this artifact do

[fast shadow]

Anyone know what mod this is?

[warped ginkgo]

it's from blindside, not released for everyone

[fast shadow]

oh

[weary birch]

hi, i am getting crush after enter bar location

[warped ginkgo]

did you install any mod on top of gamma?

[weary birch]

no, didn't install

the same when entering Army Warehouses

[warped ginkgo]

i did a clean reinstall, checked all mods and moved them to there place and i still got the same error
FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CModelPool::Instance_Load

[error]Line : 120
[error]Description : fatal error

but i did what @jagged sonnet said and it worked
open MO2
[9:01 PM]
find the mod nr 36 Duxs something
[9:02 PM]
right click - open in explorer
[9:02 PM]
go to this directory wherever game directory is\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1\mods\36-Duxs_Innumerable_Character_Kit_v1.7.6_with_BAS_patch\gamedata\meshes\actors\stalker_dolg (edited)
[9:02 PM]
and then copy a file which name closely resembles the one you are missing
[9:03 PM]
paste it in the directory
[9:03 PM]
and then change the name of the copied to the one you are missing
[9:03 PM]
voila
[9:04 PM]
in this particular case i copied "stalker_do_balon_ppm.ogf"
[9:04 PM]
and renamed it to stalker_do_balon_4
[9:04 PM]
and there you go, game loads

[graceful iron]

if you are not on an invictus run just save and test it

it can kill you so be careful of that

it will say what it does after you use it

[jagged pawn]

jesus christ

[weary birch]

omg, thx u so much!

with all this problems in a short time, I think I will learn English completely!!

---

there were three of us

me, bugs and translator)

[twilit kraken]

How can I save game settings? I swear after every update some just reset themselves.

Also If someone could tell me how to add custom audio files to the radio / music in background / vendor's radios it'd be great.

[willow hawk]

Check Dux Innemurable Characters kit addon and move it at the correct position + tick it. i.e. STEP 9 #old-how-to

[brisk zinc]

@fast fulcrum no luck
I know I should be looking in Garbage but the question still remain: where?
Guess I'll just grab it with debug mode

[twilit kraken]

my crush usually goes to bars too

[pastel shoal]

guys how do I regen limbs besides sleeping ?

My guy isnt tired to sleep

[brisk zinc]

You need to rename this, where "rename" should be remove "rename to keep your changes"

[brisk zinc]

Medicine

[twilit kraken]

I know that. I meant game configs, not mcm

[willow hawk]

Update shouldn't change that

full install yes

[brisk zinc]

It kinda does 👀

[willow hawk]

Oh really ?

[brisk zinc]

Something always change after an update

[willow hawk]

[brisk zinc]

Popchicle is right

Yes

Like options related to masks, unjam, those stuff

Your mouse speed

[hard warren]

is it just me or is this game really dark? I just installed the modpack and I can't see anything indoors

[brisk zinc]

It's dark by default

[willow hawk]

depends on the screen calibration, check #│🔧troubleshooting

middlegray
amb

commands in the console

[twilit kraken]

It's darker than vanilla anomaly but not that dark

[willow hawk]

It depends on the weathers too, on the buildings etc

I'm still trying to strike the correct balance

[graceful iron]

exactly.....

https://tenor.com/view/john-jonah-jameson-lol-laughing-hysterically-laughing-out-loud-funny-gif-17710543

[jagged pawn]

these perks are really creative and cool

1 problem though

they are worth like 10k less rubles than the vanilla ones

and take up 70% of the artifacts

[graceful iron]

exactly

they are supposed to

for now

[jagged pawn]

but muh rubles

[graceful iron]

go do quests for ya roubles

gamma is going to be different from anomaly if you are still new here

read through the #│📚manual and ask if you need help with anything

[jagged pawn]

alright

[willow hawk]

@mighty condor Major issue with reworking some models for existing saves?

[mighty condor]

weird

[warped ginkgo]

i didn't have that error, i just searched for the crash error that the user above me had and copied the text that included the solution

[willow hawk]

ok

I'm running v12 currently

didn't have any issue yet

[mighty condor]

ive never had it happen to me between my saves and i update more than i upload

[willow hawk]

will try the .13 tomorrow and report back

If it's a major issue, you should have errors in DICK moddb comment section anyways

[mighty condor]

[little igloo]

@willow hawk so I have reinstalled Gamma and followed the instruction but I still have red crosses everywhere and the game crashes on start

I have reinstalled it 4 times already

[pallid dust]

is it normal that i cant any (only 2 or 3) scopes from traders? I am supply lvl 5 - do i get them elsewhere?

• +buy

[fast shadow]

@little igloo Delete anomaly, delete GAMMA. Redownload Anomaly, and gamma, then follow #old-how-to.

@pallid dust you cant find scopes or just only a few?

[little igloo]

i did that already but some files keep corrupting or the game just doesnt even work at all

[fast shadow]

@little igloo im not sure what to tell you then. Do you get any errors in console when installing/downloading mods?

[little igloo]

no

[pallid dust]

i cant buy them - only one scope from sidorovich for example

[fast shadow]

You might be trying to download mods too often and you might get blocked by moddb.

[little igloo]

it just crashes instantly

[fast shadow]

It should put errors in the console tho

[little igloo]

im installing the game again ( i keep them some files around)

[fast shadow]

@little igloo try to go to moddb, do you get an error calling you a bot?

[midnight shard]

I should just click on "Complete ..." if i wanna install GAMMA (not update) ?

[graceful iron]

yes

[blissful tree]

For all of it, yes.

[fast shadow]

@midnight shard yes

[midnight shard]

Thx, boiz

[little igloo]

i verified the last time and DX8-11 as well as alsoft are corrupted every time

[fast shadow]

Can you run anomaly without the mods?

[little igloo]

im gonna try after I unpacked the game

[graceful iron]

you shouldnt be able to run it if you already tried to install the mods

[little igloo]

it works without mods

gonna copy the files and export them to another folder just in case

fuck accidentally deleted my gamma installer files rn

can anyone send me a link?

[graceful iron]

the gamma RC1?

[little igloo]

yeah

[graceful iron]

its in #old-how-to

[little igloo]

the installer files got murked

[graceful iron]

oh and make sure you download the update for the installer after that from #📢announcements

[little igloo]

thx i have had a pause from the game for 2 months and now its kinda hard to orientate myself

[willow hawk]

You sure you aren't a bot for moddb ?

[graceful iron]

and please follow the install steps

[willow hawk]

You don't need to redownload anything... What the hell

[little igloo]

no I only follow Monolith

[willow hawk]

Never remove the downloads folder

[little igloo]

i didnt do that

But i did delete the old files I had so maybe I accidentally killed the file

[little igloo]

thx for all the help bro (kinda hard getting back into Stalker)

[graceful iron]

did you get the pack to run first time you tried to install it?

or it was always broken?

[graceful iron]

grok you might need to "rephrase" and rewrite some of the install steps and maybe add a welcome screen to force people to read through #old-how-to - #📢announcements - #│🔧troubleshooting and any important channels

i for one messed up the mo2 instance setup step since its kind of vague for anyone who does not know how those instances work

[frozen pawn]

Mo2 doesn't launch but anomaly works by itself anyone know what could cause it

[graceful iron]

you extracted gammaRC1 in its own folder and anomaly in its own folder?

[graceful iron]

.

and followed #old-how-to steps?

[frozen pawn]

yeah, it also worked enough to launch and crash after making a character then stopped working

[graceful iron]

so you cant launch mo2 ?

[frozen pawn]

can't launch anomaly through Mo2

[graceful iron]

does your mod list have any crosses or red on it?

and how many mods are active?

[dapper iron]

what is this simbol?

[fast shadow]

Overwieght

[graceful iron]

goes yellow when you can barely sprint and red when you cant move completely

[frozen pawn]

around 240 mods are active and no red crosses

[graceful iron]

did you activate any extra ones?

it should be 229 or 230

#old-how-to message do this to reinstall , seems to fix everything

also make sure you have the latest installer #📢announcements message

[graceful iron]

and this 🙃

[celest raft]

I just updated today and am getting a crash on startup with empty stack trace. I did the whole procedure starting from deleting mods folder. It crashes right after the intro_logo.

[wraith token]

A scope mod updated today and it causes crashes. the old one is still in the mod manager, make sure you use that one

[celest raft]

121 toggle scope?

[wraith token]

yeah

[willow hawk]

it's already in

[celest raft]

still crashing with 121-ToggleScope.2021.08.24

[midnight shard]

Is this "Stashes" section supposed to be empty?

[willow hawk]

no

check the bottom of your load order

[wind forum]

oh yeah, so do we still need to use disassembly chance tweak? i saw it is in the disabled section but the chat says only the wpo patch is no longer necessary @willow hawk

is this a vram issue? lately my game crashes and I'm quite sure log always says this

[gusty path]

are you using DX10?

[twilit kraken]

dx11

[gusty path]

the arx module right?

or avx

whatever it says

[twilit kraken]

yeah

[gusty path]

dx11 error for a dx10 file is odd

imo

how much vram do you have?
im playing on a 970 so ive only got 3.5 usable

[twilit kraken]

I mean I have an AMD graphics cards, but already changed registry editor like Grok suggested

[gusty path]

since it points to a anomaly file it could be an corrupt file in the game itself

im just throwing shit at the wall at the moment

[twilit kraken]

k

[gusty path]

how long ago did you update your graphics drivers?

a quick google makes it seem like your graphics driver crashed from possible overclock or overheat.

[north turret]

Hello

i have installed gamma and played it, if I want to update the game becasue some of the mods have updated themeselves can i simply run the update from the gamma installer? or is there a different process?

[gusty path]

big hate click the update button, then go back to #old-how-to and double check step 9

to make sure there arent any that missed being ticked in the MO2

[north turret]

ok

[gusty path]

SHOULD be as simple as clicking update,

[scenic turtle]

@willow hawk You mentioned in #📎to-do "Add helmet / torso separation addon, this will prevent finding integrated helmets in good shape easily + more emphasis on helmet progression with the upcoming system where helmets need armor repair kits of different levels to be repaired". You're not Removing Integrated Helmets from Armors but adding a Component that counts as a Helmet for Repair and Condition Purposes? Similar to the Barrels and Triggers w/ Guns Correct?

[twilit kraken]

they are up to date you're right. I dunno if it'll solve it tho

[gusty path]

before i re pasted my 970 i used to have to underclock it just to run war thunder 😦

[twilit kraken]

I also did some searching and some suggested to create a DWORD (32-bit) with a value of 15 decimal instead of QWORD with 8 like @willow hawk says in #│🔧troubleshooting

[gusty path]

you checked your bios too then to make sure it was on the right setting?

if you have that setting anyway

ive been working on pcs for like 20 years and ive never seen an option to change those in the bios, not saying it doesnt exist, just havent run into it

[twilit kraken]

which setting?

[gusty path]

A possible AMD GPU fix is to check BIOS to make sure the GPU is running on PCI GEN 3.

thats at the bottom of the section you mentioned

[twilit kraken]

ah yeah ik

I'm 99% sure it is

gonna restart tho

[gusty path]

like i said, ive never seen an option to change it

personally, with an overclock on, or even just the software running, ive had lots of graphics driver crashes even on nvidia

[twilit kraken]

btw in the meantime... my MO2 says this at the bottom of the log: QNetworkDiskCache: couldn't remove the cache file "D:/GAMMA/STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1/STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1/webcache/data8/4/23rjofsd.d"

[gusty path]

for this one, have you updated gamma recently?
i havent so i wanna double check its not just an issue with the update

[tacit yew]

i have 960 i play fine, but had to adjust some settings (dx10)

[gusty path]

i play on dx11 just fine,
grok recommends dx11 or dx8 for the modpack, surprised 10 works

80-100 frames only turning down grass render distance a bit

[twilit kraken]

Fresh install yesterday, but I've seen this message for a week or so

[gusty path]

very strange

[twilit kraken]

Posted both in bugs. Let's see if someone can at least tell me what's causing it. Thanks @gusty path

[brisk zinc]

Let's say I want to change the difficulty in my game, can I do that?

[gusty path]

on a game youve already made?

ish, gameplay settings in the main menu

can make your armor weaker, drops less frequent etc

same with progression if your current build is too easy

you could also use ZCP to up spawn rates and bounty squads more frequent

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I actually wanted to change that

Because IIRC I've left tourist or something like that

[gusty path]

right on, yeah the gameplay and progression difficulties are only adjustable once youre in game anyhow

cant be adjusted from the main menu

[brisk zinc]

I'll try to adjust something in those two then, thank you

[gusty path]

well, after your initial character creation you cant really adjust them outside of those two menus lol

[twilit kraken]

but I thought the tourist option was essentially related to drop%

you can tweak some of those in mcm. You cannot change the game difficulty (easy, hard etc)

[brisk zinc]

That's what I wanted to change, game difficulty
Oh well, guess I'll play easy, hope that the north is harder anyway

CTRL + V in #old-bugs

[twilit kraken]

post the log and perhaps someone can help you

[twilit kraken]

You can always start a new game

[gusty path]

not in MCM

gameplay difficulty and progression can be changed via various sliders in the gameplay options menu

[brisk zinc]

I heard you the first time, don't worry

[gusty path]

i was referring to the messages above saying you cant

these two will change alot of those base settings, as the tooltip tells you when starting a character.

some may be overwritten by gamma, but for the most part, those are your two dropdown menu's at character creation

[modern fern]

Unable to test atm but does enabling stealth kills allow you to snipe with a silencer and not alert the whole base to your exact location on almost the other side of the map?

Cause that’s dooky

[gusty path]

yes

enable stealth, adjust to your liking

times and ranges of detection with silencer and melee are suggested

buuuut they also take a hot minute to realise theyre getting shot at in general so it can make for too easy of cheese sometimes

[modern fern]

I see, it’s just silencers are more cosmetic cause they literally all ADS in your direction

[gusty path]

ive not experienced that myself, how close are you?
even suppressed weapons arent that quiet

[vocal talon]

Guys any1 knows how to remove blur while i get radiation? it hurts my eyes.

[gusty path]

might check the mod menu

also, is it just me or do only the svarog detector and the basic detector actually work?
the bear and veles do nothing for me

[brisk zinc]

Bear is the second one, right?

That worked for me

[gusty path]

ye. are you supposed to do anything other than hold them?

ill have to debug spawn myself some

maybe mine was borken

[brisk zinc]

No, you hold them and go "inside" or near the anomaly, that's it

[gusty path]

like i wasnt even getting the beeps

it mustve been bugged

maybe i shot it when i killed that ecologist /s

no joke, the npc loot option mod makes them pissy when you start checking random dead bodies and theyre still around

[brisk zinc]

Now it's working?

[modern fern]

Well I’m using the luimpa that Remington 700 or another for long range engagements

[gusty path]

ive got choring to do and was busy chatting, ill check back later, thank you tho

[gusty path]

i was using an sks on one occasion and an svd on another.
did you restart your game after making the setting changes? i dont know if they go into effect immediately

[modern fern]

An didn’t mess with it yet, I mentioned I couldn’t test it was hoping someone else did

[gusty path]

oh, i play with stealth on from the get go

it generally works

tho it can get cheesy depending on your personal sneak skill

[midnight shard]

Wth is happened with ammo icons? Hm

[proper python]

I have an issue when playing stalker, my core voltage was cranked to maximum and my laptop just barely reach 95-98C. Does anyone know how to deal with it? Noted that I used ThrottleStop to undervolt but it seems to be unable to withstand this game.

[short gulch]

might wanna start with disabling turbo,

irony, i have the same CPU

[proper python]

The last time I played anomaly was 1 year ago, and it was not this hot af even when turbo enabled

[short gulch]

did you undervolt your stuff?

[proper python]

Oh yes

[short gulch]

did you update your bios recently?

[proper python]

-0,145

No, i realized the new bios update will lock the undervolt, so i didn't

[short gulch]

ah

hrm

strange,

do you have your anomaly executable set for single, or multi-core affinities?

like, just locked to Core 0, or all the cores?

[proper python]

I dont know anything about that

Just installed and then play right away

[short gulch]

i imagine it's set to multi then,

hum

[proper python]

So can I change it to single core?

[short gulch]

you can, yes, though i'm not 100% certain if it'll help in your case,

older hardware sometimes runs the executable better on a single thread (single core)

i tried it on my end, and just got shit performance for my trouble

[proper python]

I realize that the new launcher has an option: support avx cpu, before that it didn't

I would try untick it to see if this gets better

Because i dont know shiet about messing with cpu

[short gulch]

just as an example, i don't have stalker open at the moment

[proper python]

Thanks a lot

[short gulch]

ALTERNATIVELY.

[celest raft]

is loot supposed to spawn and overwrite anything you have stored in stash boxes?

[short gulch]

No, Loot that spawns just gets added to anything that may already be there

[short gulch]

ALTERNATIVELY. You could lower your CPU's maximum allowed clock frequency per your current windows power plan

[proper python]

Oh I disabled that crap supprt avx cpu

[proper python]

It seems to be better

[dapper iron]

Can you tweak health regeneration to increase it? If yes where?

[short gulch]

hmmm

that's a question for the modders

[cloud owl]

Hey guys i got the alife addons and wanted to know the differance if just pick warfare or mix story+warfare i did in the past both but when i had story+warfare had more randoms encounters and more monolith in the north compare to my warfare only playthr Is there any differance other than just having story quest? kinda tired doing the labs ones haha but seem to be more action in the story+warfare (no idea why)

[desert robin]

Hi team. Stuck at Step 3 of #old-how-to where it hyperlinks to another channel that contains RC3. It's not clear what i'm supposed to do here?

"Follow Instructions there: (link) " But from where? It just seems to throw you to the channel and isn't clear exactly where you follow from, and then when to come back to the guide?

Ok i think i've worked it out.... 😓

[gusty path]

where is anomaly installed

its asking for the anomaly install folder

[small haven]

My companion wearing an Exo-suit just disappears seconds after entering Garbage (from Rostok), tried to go back to Rostok but he ain't there too. What's the cause of the disappearance?

[desert robin]

@gusty path Where ever you unpacked the Anomaly .zip from Step 0 in #old-how-to

[gusty path]

it wasnt a question but a statement regarding step 3 sir,

you had already figured it out lol

i was typing whilst eating so it came out kinda fucky

[grim herald]

is their any alternative to download each addons in Grok's Modpack?

cause the installer for me is not working

i press update data and it stuck no progression is happening

[willow hawk]

Ah this can be because of the exo killer I made. I need to add a check to protect them if they are companions

[limpid saddle]

Which regeneration exactly? Item healing? Body part healing? Or Actual health?

[desert robin]

For some reason the installer gets stuck after every mod 'Instructions solving..." until i close it, and re-launch and get to that point where it moves to next mod

[willow hawk]

Go to your C:/Windows/System32/Robocopy.exe, copy paste it in GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer/resources. Remove Robocopy_10.exe and rename your recently pasted Robocopy.exe to Robocopy_10.exe, relaunch the installer and it should be good to go

[small haven]

Damn @willow hawk what kind of sleeping pills are in this game? Been sleeping for 14 hrs and the sleepiness is still red

[willow hawk]

People got this issue but I don't wth

[blissful tree]

[willow hawk]

Perform a clean install

#old-how-to last message

Let me do a complete install again

honestly if this work like intended, I'm gating myself out of #old-bugs and #🔨base-gamma-support until RC2 is released.

loosing too much time fixing bugs that are fixed by a clean install

[desert robin]

I was curious about something.. Is there any difference in the mods downloaded and installed by the installer and if we were to download and install them ourselves? Like, are any 'customized' or tweaked etc from the downloadable versions on moddb or such?

[willow hawk]

nope

It's just that I made sure the correct folders of each addon is loaded in the correct order, and each addon is loaded overall in a correct load order

[gusty path]

is there a different graphical option for fires?
some seem to tank my frames and have strange sounds effects while others are okay

[willow hawk]

This is Cinematic VFX that can do that

[gusty path]

disabling that helped a bit, sucked being in a firefight if i happened to look past a lit campfire lol
it also makes the NVGs much more viable and less washout in the dark from ambient light

[balmy forge]

I can just disable mags redux to remove mags right?

[covert kestrel]

disabling it mid save bricks your save iirc

[balmy forge]

nah im gonna have a fresh start

and turns out you only need to disable mags redux and it removes all mag related things

[willow hawk]

For new save yes. For existing saves you'll crash

[jagged pawn]

why isnt anyone selling 5.56x45

[warped ginkgo]

maybe you need more goodwill to unlock more supply levels?

#│📚manual message

[jagged pawn]

i have 757 goodwill with duty and they still dont sell any

i repaired this shiny m4 and put a red dot on it and i cant use it because noone sells me ammo

[fresh fiber]

Aren't Duty a Warsaw Pact faction ? I don't remember

[jagged pawn]

they are

but i went to freedom as well

and they sell the exact same ammo types

and freedom is a nato faction

[warped ginkgo]

did you disable any addon form the modlist?

maybe something broke

[jagged pawn]

no

[fresh fiber]

What is your goodwill with Freedom ?

[jagged pawn]

260

guess im gonna go farm goodwill

[warped ginkgo]

need more

[jagged pawn]

off to great swamps

[modern fern]

Have you not been breaking down ammo up to the point you got your new gun? Usually can amass around 400 rounds by the time I get a gun that requires an ammo type I’ve never used before. But I’m playing on hard/survivalist

[mellow canopy]

Is it normal for this one to be disabled ?

[golden elm]

Read the step 9 in #old-how-to and move that addon to the correct order.

[mellow canopy]

I read it many times but since it was moved into disabled, I wonder.

Grok always say some are disabled for a reason.

So I ask.

[modern fern]

Should already be in the right order at least it is for me but was also disabled.

By default

[golden elm]

Yeah, I just moved them to the right order then left them uncheck.

[modern fern]

Then again same for mags, I had to reactivate that

[willow hawk]

yes

[mellow canopy]

If you let it unchecked no need tk move them then?

Thanks Grok.

[willow hawk]

exactly

[modern fern]

If you recall I had that 5.56 error code but by default mags was disabled. You mentioned I had to reactivate it which fixed the issue but because it was off by default I wouldn’t have known

[willow hawk]

I can't keep user optionals ticked

Just gotta tick your optionals after each update

[modern fern]

Damn can’t recall if it fell in that category, that was it then

[timber cave]

do i need the new gamma instaler or i can safely install with the RC 1 and ghet all addons , updated ones?

[willow hawk]

It will work

You can have issues during install because of your Windows system

the new installer fixed that

[rocky cradle]

heya, can i safely just untick / tick mods like this?

sry if this info is in faq or smt, im a scatterbrain

[civic quiver]

can I repair weapons part like gas tube or bolt carrier ? if so what do I need to do it

[delicate cave]

Yeah u can click on details button of the weapon parts

[spiral crown]

if im farming for parts whats the difference of dissasempling and field stripping?

[civic quiver]

I didnt explain well myself, can I repair a bolt carrier from, lets say 27% condition to 100%

without changing the part

[delicate cave]

Nope u should have %60 condition of parts

[tacit yew]

if you have a kit of that gun in your inventory, (these kind), you can right click the gun and click maintain, and replace the bolt carrier, it will repair to 100%

[civic quiver]

okey, understood, thx

[timber cave]

why my ammo icons all look blue ?

what i did wrong

[dapper iron]

Im starting gamma. So for the entire game I just have to disassemble weapons with 60% or + parts only? below that I cant repair the parts?

[rocky cradle]

Alright, So I finished setting up gamma, any stuff i should definitely look into tweaking in the mod settings for more realism/hardcore experience? Playing with most of the optional mods enabled except icons

[willow hawk]

#custom-textures > MO2 guide

[rocky cradle]

thanks! i'll look into it later, i didnt touch anything except the optional files

Enhanced recoil effects, yay or nay, couldnt find anything in here with ctrl+f

[willow hawk]

Be sure to play it before changing anything

[rocky cradle]

yeah

[willow hawk]

Cause you activated cr3pis icons ?

[timber cave]

why my ammo icons look like this ? ?

[willow hawk]

Just answered you above @timber cave

Disable Cr3pis icons > problems fixed

[rocky cradle]

Are you able to somehow keybind stuff like Shift + T for example, cant seem to do it ingame atleast

id love to have ammo check on shift t

[willow hawk]

I will fix Cr3pis icons install. Currently it's not compatible

[willow hawk]

In game you can't

[rocky cradle]

But its possible?

Thanks

[willow hawk]

Through scripts

[rocky cradle]

ah i see

[willow hawk]

Which is a pain even when you know LUA

[rocky cradle]

Yeah

fuck that

[willow hawk]

So just use another key

[rocky cradle]

[willow hawk]

You can change the binding on ammo check in MCM menu now

[rocky cradle]

yeah

[willow hawk]

I personally don't like mags redux

[rocky cradle]

im done configing vanilla options, time to check all of the mod configs

[willow hawk]

Too much micromanagement

And there's already a lot in GAMMA

[rocky cradle]

Yeh idk how it works, didnt try it before

I played back in like, rc18 anomaly or smt

[willow hawk]

I would say, use GAMMA defaults

I tweaked everything

[rocky cradle]

Oh

thats great :D

i thought id have to do it manually for every mod

then ill just go over then quickly

but thats good to know

ty

[willow hawk]

You can basically install and play

[rocky cradle]

ye

[willow hawk]

And if there's something you don't you like, people can point you in the right direction

[rocky cradle]

do u still brick save if u disable mags

[willow hawk]

GAMMA isn't just a modlist

It's a rework of about everything in Anomaly

[rocky cradle]

yeah

oh wait, hows the rad overhaul in ur modlist? I remember having a really cool one which basically enabled radiation to move with dust particles and stuff

i think it was the arszi one

i just went thru the modlist without checking the mods on moddb

[delicate cave]

Yeap %60 or above If u cant find certain parts u can always buy them from mechanics but that will be costly

[midnight shard]

How to save MCM settings if i wanna update GAMMA?

[willow hawk]

Check GAMMA MCM addon. Rename it

[midnight shard]

Thx

[willow hawk]

Mine is different from Arti. It doesn't have the wind stuff which was more annoying than anything.

Check #│📚manual

[midnight shard]

After update delete the new one and rename this again to prev., right?

[willow hawk]

No. Rename it now. Make your changes. And put it last in your load order

After an update, just be sure to tick it.

When doing a clean install, don't remove that renamed MCM addon in the mods folder.

[midnight shard]

Thanks

Is new changes with damage dependence of barrel condition released alrdy?

[willow hawk]

It's in GBOOBS 1.6.4 yep. Which is already properly managed by the installer

@midnight shard

[midnight shard]

Oh, great

[willow hawk]

I'm slowly pushing the biggest gameplay and balance changes before RC2

Next up is helmet progression system

No more exo helmet 100% after 2 days in the zone

Rads will be dreadful

[rocky cradle]

im stupid

[willow hawk]

Oh it's possible then

[rocky cradle]

yeah

[willow hawk]

Didn't think Raven added it that's cool

[rocky cradle]

im happy

yeah

[late gull]

Does it change any stats or just separating helmet from suits

[willow hawk]

It changes stats indeed

Integrated helmet is an heresy

I don't understand why some devs opted for that

It makes the whole armor system even more convoluted

And is more a testimony of laziness than anything else

In GAMMA helmets have parts and will require parts replacement like armors and use the same kits and you can't avoid it because of the radiations. It makes the armor profile reading much easier as well

[late gull]

That sounds cool, waiting to see it in action

[little igloo]

yo can anybody tell me where to turn off reflections on guns ? I dont really like them

nvm

[midnight shard]

How to change starting loadout? Free RF-receiver, dosimeter, dekektor is kinda op i think

[willow hawk]

I don't think so considering the amount of meds you'll need. But you can edit that in GAMMA Starting loadouts addon

[balmy forge]

Will you change armor icons to non helmet version

[midnight shard]

Thx

[willow hawk]

It's already in my modification yes

[deep veldt]

Does that mean trader magazines inventory will be tuned?!

Clear Sky Cold may sell the NATO magazines? I will be very happy! ♥️

[wind forum]

hi @willow hawk , i noticed that the shader stuff was modified, but when i tried to do an update installation, i don't see the ambient daylight stuff in the original reshade folder, would it be because of needing a complete reinstallation?

[willow hawk]

Yes you need a complete reinstall

[willow hawk]

Not sure... I have much more to do before this

[wind forum]

i won't have to remove anomaly installation though, right?

[willow hawk]

See that shit?

I need to assign helmets to each model individually

by verifying each model visually

It's a fucking pain

[deep veldt]

OH DAAAMN!!!!

[willow hawk]

because of how GAMMA loot works I need to do this

so all helmets can be found

[winter gust]

between things like this and the tech support for newbies, grok, you are one very patient person, and it's greatly appreciated

[deep veldt]

Well again I thank you for all the amazing work you do on this project and appreciate the time you put into it!

[willow hawk]

Doing public research for 7 years needed much more patience don't worry

[wraith token]

appreciate the work as well.

[wind forum]

do i need to delete everything or just the complete installation in the installer?

[fast fulcrum]

delete all mod in mod folder allow powerscript update gamma data complete install gamma installation

[wind forum]

ah yeah i forgot compelte installation does additional stuff

[wind forum]

thx

[frosty acorn]

How would interested helmets work for ecologist or Seva suits? Would they be in a seperate helmet category?

[fast fulcrum]

fast question: i need to check 132-disassembly change Tweak and 133-WPO patch and move in right place or not?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[wind forum]

don't use them

it's deliberate that he unticked them

[fast fulcrum]

perfect

[sudden barn]

Hello ermm quick question i wanted to start a fresh anomaly + GAMMA

So this is regardings mods

1. Does it have nice looking environment graphics
   2.Does the enemy have different models (i hate new models)
2. Does it have new weapon mods and possibly weapon inspection animations?
3. How many fps does GAMMA mod affects (like from usual 90fps to 60fps?)
4. Thats all thank you!

[winter gust]

it has weapons mods and many of them have inspect animations, it has new npc models thanks to dux, and you can check #╟📸screenshots and decide for yourself whether it looks nice

[wind forum]

#❗welcome for the first 3 questions, as for 4th, it does negatively impact fps quite a bit but i can't really tell you how many fps because everyone's rigs are different

[wraith token]

1. you choose your environment graphics. (Find on ModDB or elsewhere)
2. it has vanilla hd and dux's models
3. BaS models/animations and Blindsides animations for vanilla models
4. fps depends on your setup

[sudden barn]

Hmm well i dont know about fps tbh but gtx1650 ,16gb ram ryzen 54600h gave me like 90 fps ish on anomaly + efp

Maybe ill get lower

[wraith token]

you will have similar frames with gamma

if not better

[sudden barn]

Hmmm

I shall ask more later, im gonna install it thanks guys and gals!

[wraith token]

search tool is your friend. I found answers to basically every question or problem i had

[wind forum]

yeah

grok's documentation is quite extensive

[wraith token]

also everyone is very helpful on this discord

[sudden barn]

Very pog 🥵

Very pog 🥵

[civic quiver]

guys how about activating mid-gameplay magsredux ?? save or risky

[fast shadow]

You can do that, you will need to visit a vendor for mags.

I think vendors sell mags, I play with gamma economy off

[drifting steppe]

they do same vendors that sell night vision/backpack and other gear stock mags

[sudden barn]

https://youtu.be/TFt6I1QHTnU u guys rock! Saw GAMMA because of this guy

[timber cave]

any tips to find the basic tools?

[sudden barn]

Like it looks very cool

[fast shadow]

@timber cave staches and tents thats where I always filled them

[sudden barn]

Find stashes thats the only way i think

[willow hawk]

For fps I'm rocking 120 fps constantly at 2k res, i9900k and rtx3070

[fast shadow]

Turn down yiur grass density, rips super computers in half

:kekw:

[willow hawk]

With default GAMMA parameters which are tweaked compared to vanilla

[willow hawk]

Lol Expedition is so ugly it hurts my eyes

[sudden barn]

Eh wait

WTF I THOUGHT THAT SAID GAMMA

[willow hawk]

It's fine but you can't go back

[sudden barn]

[willow hawk]

Lol

[sudden barn]

Ok ignore what i sent

[spiral kestrel]

can we buy schrapnel-25 ammo somewhere or only loot them on bodies ?

[willow hawk]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly - G.A.M.M.A. Modpack Gameplay No commentary

[sudden barn]

I just wanna roam the wasteland while checking my mags,looking at the gorgeus scenery while listening to some dank music

[willow hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6nhAMQRPT0

[sudden barn]

Yeah thats the one

Lmao

[wraith token]

My issue with magazine mods is its just menu time where you can't do anything else

[willow hawk]

I don't use Mags in GAMMA for that very reason

It's in optionals because people would annoy me 24/7 to have it

[drifting steppe]

you can walk while loading mags and it's fun to take cover behind a wall and rush to load at least one magazine while listening to footsteps closing in

[willow hawk]

But this just doesn't fit STALKER gameflow in general

[drifting steppe]

makes for interesting situations sometimes

[wraith token]

yeah its immersion breaking for me that's really it. I put about 30 hours into EFP with it. I am sick of it until we get an animation or something

allow me to look around or smthng

[willow hawk]

Just like bag opening anim is just dumb

[winter gust]

i stopped using mags just so i could see the nice reload animations more often

[willow hawk]

Also this

[wraith token]

I like bag animation a lot actually. The idea of it more so than the current execution tho

[willow hawk]

Well, I like managing my inventory while running

[wraith token]

lol who doesn't

Time is money friend

[willow hawk]

With the bag it's harder

[wraith token]

I wish it didnt stop you

[willow hawk]

Exactly

Also inventory should open directly instead of having a delay

[wraith token]

Delay is just too long imo.

[sudden barn]

Same here man

I just wanna spam r without needing to throwback to eft

God i hate eft

[wraith token]

i love eft for a lot of things. Just not all

considering the amount of animations in Tarkov you'd expect them to have mag loading anims too

[sudden barn]

The only reason i used efp because of Boomstick and "inspect animations"

Glad to hear GAMMA has boomstick and actual inspections

Im tired with eft let me die to a chimera with peace

[wraith token]

don't sleep on blindsides anims tho\

[sudden barn]

Blindsides?

[wraith token]

they're included in gamma

redone anims for a bunch of vanilla weapons

mostly Loner/Military guns so far. He is working on more

[sudden barn]

Ouh thats good to know, i dont mind vanilla animations theyre good

[wraith token]

Some are horrible

[odd pelican]

is there a way to tone down the rank health stuff? takes me out of it having to magdump a trenchcoat dude from inches away

[whole vortex]

Is there a way to repair badly damaged multi tools? (9%) and armor 10% ?

[rocky cradle]

Is it normal that my game freezes for ~5-10sec when u save/ press esc to get to menu

[civic quiver]

how do I fast travel ?

[brisk zinc]

It depends, there's the cheat way and the legit way that I don't know because I want to use the cheat way and I don't like being limited

[civic quiver]

hmm im interested in both

[copper arrow]

Is there anyway to use GAMMA without BaS?

[wraith token]

Been happening to me the last couple days as well. No other game performance is hindered at the moment tho

[civic quiver]

by deleting the folder inside your anomaly game directory/appdata/shadercache/here "its solve"

[rocky cradle]

thats weird, i just installed this modpack today

i'll check it out ty

[gentle sphinx]

anybody done the last dawn clear sky storyline?

i seem to be stuck on the part where i have to rescue a rogue scout troop in the outskirts. he just won't talk to me other than allowing me to say bye

[civic quiver]

forgot to say it, you have to delet it everytime before you start the game

[rocky cradle]

ait

[foggy badger]

I have a quick noob question

I just started playing Anomaly yesturday and found this mod today

I am installing it right now, everything is going fine

But I wanted to know: Do I enable/disable mods or does this do all of that for me?

If it is the former, what is recommended to enable? I am motsly looking to make this game even more immersive (have to manually load mags, mags are actual items I have to keep track of, more animations for using items, etc)

[brisk zinc]

It does everything for you, it's the highlight of the modpack, it's automatic

You can however enable/disable add-on at your discretion

[foggy badger]

Sweet! Thank you!

Awsome 😄

Oh one last thing

In the #old-how-to instructions

It says that report any addons with prefixed numbers

Could you provide an example of what that would look like?

[brisk zinc]

There is one add-on called Mags Redux or something like that, it helps for immersion but once you enabled it, you can't disabled it for your actual save
The mod pack already have FDDA (Food, Drinks, Drugs Animations)

Keep in mind that Grok (the author) doesn't want the mod pack to get too immersive

There is also something for the backpack (you open the inventory, you see the actual backpack) but it's buggy and deactivated by default

[civic quiver]

there is any inconvenience with opening the game with the launcher instead of directly anomaly dx11 avx?

[brisk zinc]

Basically, when you update GAMMA, some add-ons gets updated and the installer puts them automatically where they need to, so you can have everything in order
If everything goes right, at the bottom of your mod list, you will find (mostly of the time) old add-ons that need to be deleted, or, in some cases, new add-ons that you will need to move manually

Let's say, for example, that you find at the bottom of your list "94-Name of add-on here.version 10" and you already have "94-Name of add-on here.version 11"
This means that you already have the most updated version and you simply need to delete the one at the bottom, because the installer does everything for you, automatically

Hope it's understandable enough

[brisk zinc]

You simply can't play the game, that's it

It will crash

The vanilla launcher is used for enabling debug mode

[foggy badger]

Ohhhhh

[civic quiver]

well thats incorrect, I just play it

I open the launcher from the gamma mo2 instance

[brisk zinc]

Yeah, it's normal that you run it trough there

That's weird, I can play too

@willow hawk is this normal? Last time the vanilla launcher didn't worked for nobody

[wraith token]

Didn't work for me on my first install so i just ran it on dx11 from then out. That was like a week ago

[civic quiver]

I just want debug mode to fast travel freely, if there is a way to bypass the launcher and have debug mode im all ears

[wraith token]

Just set it in your launcher then run dx11 exe

my debug is always on

[brisk zinc]

Yeah

Then

[brisk zinc]

You need to disable one add-on

[civic quiver]

I just did it because even with debug mode fast travel game tells me I have to wait 11 hours

no need for debug mode after disable that addon then?

[brisk zinc]

Like I said, if you want to fast travel FREELY, you need debug mode

To use debug mode FREELY, you need to disable that add-on

Otherwise you can't fast travel FREELY

[foggy badger]

@brisk zinc I found the addon you recommended for mags

How would one integrate it with the gamma stuff? Do I just copy the gamdata directory to my anomaly install ?https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/tree/latest

[nimble hamlet]

:^)

[willow hawk]

That's cause I fixed fdda bin shit

[foggy badger]

Thank you!

[desert robin]

Sorry heaps noob question here.. How do you heal limbs? NVM, searched and found.. Medicine

[civic quiver]

thx man sorry for bothering that much

[desert robin]

Cordon seems to be in a permanent war......... Is that normal?

[brisk zinc]

It's already inside GAMMA

Did you even install the damn thing?

[brisk zinc]

No problem at all, ask anytime

[foggy badger]

I missed it ;-; but it is setup 😄

[brisk zinc]

Are you using Warfare by any chance?

[desert robin]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

Jesus Christ it's normal

Did you even read what you enable?

You know, WARfare?

LIKE WAR?

Don't use it by the way

[desert robin]

why

[brisk zinc]

No okay apparently you can, just don't expect support by Grok

[desert robin]

ok thanks

[foggy badger]

I don't know the details, but int he #old-how-to it mentons something about it not being stable with some add-on

[brisk zinc]

Yeah basically

[hasty jolt]

I read the same and ended up using the warfare alife overhaul mod (and it sounds like its more interesting anyway) but it definitely makes it way more calm, there's far less stuff going on, but it feels a bit more 'realistic' because of that anyway imo

[desert robin]

Cool, thanks for your help guys ❤️

[brisk zinc]

I was trying to send some messages to Grulag

@desert robin #🔨base-gamma-support message

[dapper iron]

where do you find those kits?

[foggy badger]

I have been having to open up the Mod Organizer to launch STALKER with all of the mods and such (or at least to follow the instructions properly). How would one load stalker into Playnite? Can I just launch the game as usual or do I need to use the mod organizer?

[brisk zinc]

Mechanics, or (I think) you can craft it

[tacit yew]

yeah mechanics, but i think u need 500 rep with the faction so they sell it to you.. maybe 1000 not sure

[whole vortex]

is there somewhere a chart to lookup the crafts? playing since today and i just learned that you need those kits to repair the guns. but you can craft those kits?

[tacit yew]

yeah, save game, and pay technician 1000 rubles, go to the bench, click, and explore the menu, the last tab is the one for crafts

explore a bit all the items you can craft.. and if you wanna the 1000 back just load the last game lol

--btw, craft might not be worth in early game, basic tools would not be enough, and first you need to dismantle a lot of stuff for general items

500 rep isnt that hard to get anyway, i buy the kits to technician directly

[whole vortex]

good idea, cheers.
btw. is there some guide for repairing stuff? still have my problems with the system. for example i have no clue how i do repair a 10% condition gun,

1. i need a repair kit for the barrel (red one for example)
2. i replace the parts in it ?

[tacit yew]

#│📚manual message
read all this channel

[whole vortex]

already read it, guess i gotta do some trial&error^^

[tacit yew]

if you wanna 100% repair gun, yeah, just wait until you unlock the kits, its easy in that way---
if you want to half repair a gun, yeah, mass dismantle guns, and swap the parts manually, and make the technician clean the gun

(not sure if there is other ways)

[brisk zinc]

Maybe you need to bring them basic and/or advanced tools

[brisk zinc]

IIRC, the only way to MAINTAIN PARTS, is by using kits for the specific type of gun and/or repair kits

Mechanics will only CLEAN you gun, they won't repair your parts

This is what I mean by "clean"

[whole vortex]

alright, "cleaning" is expensive af tho 😄

[brisk zinc]

It's the beauty of this mod pack, you need to do stuff in order to have stuff
And when you do, it's satisfying

[tacit yew]

Field strip the gun and put in manually better parts doesn't seem efficient, since he would need to dismantle a lot of guns...

tldr: reach 500 rep and try to get basic-advanced tools to get kits

[whole vortex]

alright, and basic/advanced tools are only found in stashes right ?

[granite orchid]

Do everything manually yourself, mechanics are overpriced for a reason

ur not supposed to use em much rly

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I also think it's useless to hoard all those guns, because you can't find one in good shape

It's better to find only one that is almost good and focus on repairing that one

IMHO of course

[whole vortex]

have one at 39% if that counts 😄

[tacit yew]

yes, killing enemies will get you stash locations, and quests too

[granite orchid]

FInd a gun you like, look at the parts it uses, find other guns with same parts that are above 60%, field strip them, repair them with files / ramrod / multitool, and replace your one with a repair kit for your weapon.

Thats pmuch the cheapest way of fixing up a gun

[whole vortex]

alright, i think ive understood now. 😄

[brisk zinc]

If you have money you can skip the files/ramrod/multitool thing, simply buy a repair kit and clean everything

[whole vortex]

alright cheers, thank you guys

[granite orchid]

Np man, just make sure to use the "maintain weapon" option when using kits to outright replace a part.

If you just click "use" on the kit it will just clean a gun

[whole vortex]

Good info

[brisk zinc]

I thought it was "maintain parts"

[granite orchid]

might be xD

Yup it is

[tacit yew]

there is a way to save some rubles, only use the kit once to clean the gun, since it will get to 40-50% clean condition and then you would be able to use the normal & cheap cleaning items

[whole vortex]

Unfortunately I have to go to sleep now, working tomorrow X.x.
Lets see if I restart the game or use my "todays" savegame

Thank you @tacit yew @brisk zinc @granite orchid ! Really appreciate it

[desert robin]

This discord needs a "Dumbass newbie questions" channel.... but.. What's the best Mode to play in that's not warfare for freeplay? I'm guessing it's story? I want a bit of a 'freeplay' of sorts without being railroaded to a story but dont know much about anomaly to know what i need to select to get that...

[tacit yew]

yeah Story & Accesible zone ON, if you are new to stalker, medium - scavenger would be fine

if you are more hardcore fps gamer, hard, if you want a challenge in progression-survival, Survivalist

you are not forced to follow the story anyway ( its not even worth do it in early game, better in mid-late game where you've traveled the zone enough)

Oh, most important, play Loner, thats the default faction and recommended one

[dapper iron]

I agree. Theres a lot of new people installing gamma these days. We need a channel of "Dumbass newbie questions". Someone ask Grok to do that please?. Because we put a lot of questions in different channels and ruin those channels.

[warped ginkgo]

i mean, this channel is literally called 'questions' xd

[twilit kraken]

I'm having some bugs and crashes :(

[dapper iron]

maybe put newbie before questions? xd

[twilit kraken]

I submitted them to #old-bugs because I couldn't find any solution in #│🔧troubleshooting nor looking for previous questions by others

If someone could spare some time and help me, I'd be forever grateful. Because I did a fresh install but they keep happening

And yes, every mod is ticked, without errors etc

[brisk zinc]

Every mod? Like all of them?

[twilit kraken]

Obviously except ones that shouldn't be ticked at the bottom, y'know

[desert robin]

How can these pouncy-dog things at garbage take 6 shots with a rifle to the head and then still leap across the map and kill me instantly.

[brisk zinc]

Psydogs?

[desert robin]

they are like mutated bears or similar

but run super fast

[modern fern]

Can I get a list of all achievements and their effects? Thanks

[delicate wharf]

Chimera or lurkers?

[cursive musk]

doing a complete reinstall here. do I need to install the RCs updates aswell or is the original installer file already updated ?

[brisk zinc]

I think you need to install them one by one

[north turret]

I remember Grok saying 52-zone hot fix is outdated or something? Should I move it to its position and tick it on or just leave it under disabled

[brisk zinc]

One second

It's disabled

Leave it there

Don't enabled it

[cursive musk]

thanks for those fast answers and good hunt stalker !

[strong osprey]

not sure if this is place to post but i think there might be a bug with the last dawn quest for the clear sky. it says to go collect the scanner from the archianomaly south of the west tower but there is not a waypoint in the pda. i thought it meant the observation post far west in the swamp so i went there and headed south but could only find the bog pounder anomaly. any one complete this quest before?

[north turret]

You're supposed to explore it. I had a hard time finding it too for the first time. Just hold F when you're in the anomaly so you could spot the scanner, you have to be near it so that the item name will pop out

[desert robin]

Should loading menus/screens still say RC1 even though i have RC2? Or does this mean im somehw running RC1 without knowing? Is there some way to check my version?

[nimble hamlet]

RC2 is technically not released, just the launcher that Grok has been testing out for RC1

[deep veldt]

Can someone tell me if it is better to sell Mutant Parts to The Hunter in the Garbage, or to sell to the Ecologists?

[modern fern]

Depending on what I want, being Maids icons or CR3PIS. What do I need to disable to do enable ether or?

[brisk zinc]

Mutant parts like meat and such? Go to Butcher in Garbage

Sell artifacts to the ecologist, there is Sakharov in Yantar, go there if you want to make big money

[fast shadow]

Whats the mod that makes you mumble when you press c?

[brisk zinc]

WPO iirc

Let me see

[fast shadow]

Can I edit the key in the config files somewhere, I don't see an option in MCM

[brisk zinc]

Weapon Parts Overhaul

[brisk zinc]

Oh sorry, C

Companion wheel?

[fast shadow]

Ye

Yeah, I rebound the wheel but the guy still talks

lol

[brisk zinc]

Let me check

[fast shadow]

trying to make it EFT controls

[brisk zinc]

Well it's there, keybinds in game

[fast shadow]

my guy still talks tho

When I press C

IDK if mumble is hard coded to C somewhere

[brisk zinc]

I think it is, I've changed the key to something else and he still mumble

[fast shadow]

function addonCompanionsContextMenu:ExecuteScriptByCondition(info , true_script, false_script, true_file, false_file) if(self:DoesSquadHaveInfo(info)) then alun_utils.execute_script_on_squad(self.companionSquad,true_script) AGDD_voiced_actor.actor_speak(true_file,1.0,2000,100,true,true,false,false) else alun_utils.execute_script_on_squad(self.companionSquad,false_script) AGDD_voiced_actor.actor_speak(false_file,1.0,2000,100,true,true,false,false) end end

I dont see C anywhere but I see actor speak

Might comment that out and try

[brisk zinc]

Yeah try that

100% it's immersion stuff

[fast shadow]

it didnt work

lol

[spiral crown]

why these dudes wont advance with me

did i hire a bunch of pussies

[fast shadow]

@brisk zinc commenting out those lines did actually work, I just had to edit it in gamma bind fixes but I ended up making a new mod folder for the changes. Also to was not for WPO but a voice actor mod

[hollow apex]

maybe an off-topic question but when I play Anomaly vanilla, there's always a guy sneaking behind me when I was looting or sorting items, in GAMMA none of that ever happened in my 3-days playing, I wonder if that "feature" was removed, or I was just lucky.

[tawny terrace]

Is there a way to make vendors sell weapons again? Do I need to disable GAMMA Economy for that?

[sonic lark]

Do traders respawn?

[desert robin]

Just wondering what the deal is with several mods in the list 'Over-written'.. That means they don't actually do anything because something else over-writes them, doesn't it? If so, why is it in the list?

[nimble hamlet]

It can mean that some portions of the mod overwrites/gets overwritten by portions of another - not that it's fully replaced. Some other mods in the list either apply changes/fixes to that .ESP so it marks that there is some interactions with another addon in the list

[desert robin]

Looks like most, or all that are redundant are when they get patched-over by 'GAMMA' patch/mods. I think that makes sense...

[nimble hamlet]

Grok a chad

[fading rose]

I can handle this with everything on low plus no reshade at 1600x900 with 2gb rtx 950m, mobile i7 and 8gbram? Or i just go for DX8? Readed that dx9 are not compatible i think is because ssr and enhanced shaders no? Thanks!

[visual current]

what is the default sun_lumscale value?

[fading rose]

Sorry, is like that almost one hour now.

i think is lighting in overrall world

the sun light, not the volumetric one just the brightness.

[visual current]

but what is its default value?

a reshade i used recommended changing it and now the game is really dark unless i amp the brightness

[fading rose]

Lol i just cancelled that radioextended addon and that started again and now is dowloading. So i wasted an hour of downlading waiting that stucked pdaradio to download lol

[sudden barn]

guys ermm which should i pick borderless? windowed ? or fullscreen?

i like alt tabbing alot and i dunno which is better tbh

[obtuse rune]

Borderless works

[sudden barn]

ok thanks

[frozen pawn]

what is the most expensive gun in game right now?

[tacit yew]

Gauss rifle,or has the modpack added any other one?

[frozen pawn]

not sure what the gauss' base cost is but i found an SVD with a 140850 RU cost

[willow hawk]

If you just installed, don't touch anything. Simple. GAMMA is pre configured for maximum framerate / graphics ratio

[timber cave]

how can i activate the knife animations?

it seems i dont have them#

[willow hawk]

It should be if you udpate

they are when you actually pull your knife out

[jagged pawn]

whats the VNZ "Circle"

[elfin isle]

Hey fellas, I seem to be stuck on step 9 on the install. Can anyone elaborate on the MO2 instances? I select Anomaly to organize, close mo2, do the complete installation, launch mo2 and am unsure where to go from here. I was always a NMM guy because it made modding piss easy, thanks in advance

[twilit kraken]

the installer has some sort of mini guide of mo2

[pliant thorn]

Hello! Is there an AK that gets as close as an AR-15 (hera) recoil wise?

[elfin isle]

Thank you so much, don't know how I didn't see that

[twilit kraken]

np

[timber cave]

For me knife animation is bugged after i take it out all my keyboard 1 , 2 , 3, 4 keys ghet stuck and no work around ....

[golden elm]

Hello, guys. Is Wolf's rescue task bug fixed yet?

[twilit kraken]

some reported that it doesn't happen frequently, but it still does

You can always save before and try for yourself

[golden elm]

Alrighty. Thanks :V

[twilit kraken]

It only happened once to me and that was many days ago. So far so good, but could still happen as some reported

[delicate cave]

Do u guys know where is that scanner in anomaly from last dawn mission?? Its says south of west tower but I couldnt find it.

[timber cave]

Guys with what fov u reccomand to play?

[granite orchid]

Default, the viewmodels of guns etc are setup for that FoV specifically.

Just don't touch FoV unless you want stuff to look wonky

xd

[timber cave]

ok thx

[jagged pawn]

whats the VNZ "Circle"

[mental bear]

all the errors on command screen normal? i did forget to launch stalker after downloading hope that didnt bosh my install

[willow hawk]

What kind of system have you >.> ?
