First time seeing this error

coming from a basic powershell command

it's not a big problem though

[granite orchid]

Is it possible that a specific weapon can cause busy hands issue more often ?

[willow hawk]

no

[granite orchid]

For some reason the issue just got worse and worse

Like I'm having a busy hands issue every 10 minutes now

outta nowhere

[tacit yew]

hey, then nato traders don't sell 9x39? its a bug or something? hmm

[jagged pawn]

whats the VNZ "Circle"

[scenic pulsar]

hi, I updated GAMMA data and then like a moron I hit "complete GAMMA installation" instead of update GAMMA...it should work the same, right?

[sly whale]

So I cannotplay in DX9?

[willow hawk]

9x39 is russian

NATO have AP slugs and also the best sniper ammo

[wraith token]

using mags redux?

or any other mag addon

[sly whale]

@tacit yew 9x39 , 9,18, 5.45x39 , 7.62x39 Are Russian Ammo , Others should be nato or another part of the world

[sly whale]

?

[small haven]

Whos the best guy to sell mutant parts to between Sakharov and Butcher?

[willow hawk]

Butcher I think

[wraith token]

i always gave butcher low tier/task parts. Sakh for the human meats if you dont consume them yourself lol

[storm moon]

Completed side quests - best!

[covert kestrel]

butcher is the go to in general imo, sakhavor pays more only for very certain parts, and by a small difference around 100-300 roubles iirc

[small haven]

Thanks a lot ya'll

[brisk zinc]

You're not using the new installer, could be the problem

[tacit yew]

ah true, but he said that 1000 trader WP don't sell neither 9x39

[tacit yew]

^

maybe 500 rep? not sure

[willow hawk]

It's at 1500 and 2000

9x39 is endgame

[tacit yew]

thanks, my favourite caliber

[sly whale]

So i cannot play with dx9?

[tacit yew]

it seems not, try dx10 (not avx version), and clear shader cache, works good for me

[brisk zinc]

Update your installer

[warped ginkgo]

You should

[twilit kraken]

can someone remind which numbered add-ons (not optional) shouldn't be ticked asides from 52?

[brisk zinc]

In Disabled?

No one, leave them disabled

[twilit kraken]

132 and 133 too?

[wraith token]

yee

[twilit kraken]

ok

[sly whale]

Can i put HD Models In?

[twilit kraken]

not recommended

[pliant thorn]

how do i add the story id when sapwning an npc? every time i spawn the dead npc has Story Id: nil

[willow hawk]

wat

[fast shadow]

[pliant thorn]

I found Markov dead body, and he has a Story id! When i spawn a new Markov he has no story id! Tried to delete the dead body but i cant even with debug mode

[fading rose]

Hi! i want to update gamma

but it appears like this in launcher

dont have the update gamma install 😦

maybe is the version

oh nevermind is updating some addons, neat.

[rocky cradle]

Any reason why an army guy i killed has like 5 high tier weapons in his inventory? 🤔 kinda ruins my prog so i just end up not looting him at all. I'd understand just 1-2 weapons but why is he hoarding that many

[warped ginkgo]

maybe he looted npc's bodies? sometimes when i take too long killing military in cordon, some end up looting guns from dead npc

[rocky cradle]

Hmm, might be true

Its so rough trying to kill those two military guys, im pinned down in a small shack and theres a psi-storm coming haha

[pliant thorn]

How do i delete a corpse that cant be deleted in debug mode?

[tacit yew]

If you are in early game.. You won't be able to repair them nor buy its ammo anyway 😛

[rocky cradle]

True, I'll just dismantle the two weapons that i did pick up then :D

Also, anyone have an idea why my characters collision seems really weird, like i lag thru doors & and i can only get within like 1 meter from an NPC before i start lagging out and 'teleporting' around him

#│🔧troubleshooting hang

[frosty acorn]

What does the "M" button do by default? There is a sound that goes with it, but nothing else

[willow hawk]

Installer hangs during Instructions Solving parts

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 fixed.

[golden elm]

Is it normal for the night to be this dark? I have goosebumps while navigating my way back to the Rookie Village.

[willow hawk]

That's how it is for me

[golden elm]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma The M key is for toggle scope NVG

[frosty acorn]

Ah, ok

[golden elm]

I could see the sky at night in most mods. This is the first time I've experienced such a pitch-black night like this. I have thought the shader had a problem.

Damn, then I should get a NVG soon

[willow hawk]

Use your headlamp?

Make sure you have the user.ltx from GAMMA

[oak shell]

Heyo folks. My game seems to continually crash whenever I shoot something (as in like hitting another stalker, firing the gun itself doesn't crash it). I'm running the Warfare A-Life mod and the associated warfare mechanic fix alongside GAMMA. I know warfare can be buggy, but it's what I'm most interested in. I'm open to just doing a full reinstall, but was curious if there was any recommended method to this (using the launcher or just doing a full manual delete/reinstall?)

[delicate cave]

Anyone knows where can I find Last Dawn scanner?? It says south of west tower in great swamps but couldnt find anything

[warped ginkgo]

where the player icon is

[sly whale]

Iam trying to open the game with DX9 but it crashes

[willow hawk]

It can only work in DX11 DX10 and DX8

[sly whale]

Alright

Ty

[hollow apex]

5.45 has more damage than 5.56 is that normal? I think it's the opposite IRL?

[fading rose]

Hi ppl, dx10 is working with this? or just dx8/11 ? Thanks!

[rustic comet]

dx8/11 is better i think

in the middle there's a grey area

[rustic comet]

#💣tarkov-released

jk

i guess 5.45 is better

[hollow apex]

[rustic comet]

is just stalker that made it the opposite

for gameplay reasons

(i mean the vanilla games )

[hollow apex]

but 5.56 cost more in-game wether it's ammo or platform, so I think the price should be fixed too...

[rustic comet]

also what you're looking at are the gun stats

of two random rifles lol

i guess bas ak5c has those stats

[hollow apex]

hmm... that could be

[rustic comet]

that is

bas guns sometimes are weirdly balanced, show me a comparison between a vanilla 5.56 and 5.45

two ar of the same type

[hollow apex]

okay I think it's time for me to stop comparing by price

I even went on googling the difference between these two calibers...

[fading rose]

it is normal

to have a psuedogiant in cordon and a chimera in garbage?

lol, is a pretty survival thing but damn boy

[mellow canopy]

Can I remove Magazines mod mid game and attempt to become a chad myself ?

[blissful tree]

Mid game? Hell no, you won't be able to do anything with that save anymore.

[mellow canopy]

Oh ok thanks for the info

Any way to reduce ammo drop then?

I halved loot quality in magazines, I'll see

[fading rose]

i understand now wht 0.25 mutant pop, there are mutants everywhere, lol.

[fast shadow]

If you use smart zone fix things spawn more

There is a bug rn where things dont spawn if you have smart zone on, I think its a bug with anomaly itself.

[mellow canopy]

Just noticed that the P90 is classified as a pistol (repair kit) !

[vestal lily]

Is there a difference between stashes and boxes that you can open? I haven't been opening anything I come across as I assumed they would be empty unless I had the location but i opened one by chance and found a little bit of ammo in there and some meds. Not stash level loot but not nothing ether

[nocturne merlin]

Warfare is so laggy on Ryzen. Is there any magic tricks to cut down on this besides "don't play warzone"

[dapper iron]

Whats the difference between doing "field strip" and "disassemble" in a gun?

[frozen pawn]

field strip pulls parts off of the gun, disassemble destroys the gun and gives you parts

[fast shadow]

The only way to get things like barrels is to disassemble

Also to disassemble you need a multitool

[dapper iron]

So in theory is the same? which one you use most?

[willow hawk]

5.56 guns are much stronger

check AR15 Hera Arms

m4 butcher, etc

[frozen pawn]

personally i just field strip, but if you need a new barrel disassemble

[rigid karma]

(BTW Love your modpack it's beautiful.) Anyway I was wondering if maybe you guys could make it to where people could install the Winter mod and no grass through the installer. Kinda like an "alternate" install, maybe putting a seperate button below the "Install G.A.M.M.A." button. Asking because it helps so much for people who have APUs like me and also for people who just prefer it being "Nuclear Winter"

I know I can just put the mods in myself but everytime I run the installer I have to redo everything and it's a bit of a pain everytime

[willow hawk]

too specific for a button

just follow #custom-textures

[loud verge]

Which mod controls the horrible sway/twitching when shot?

[rigid karma]

ah I see. Well thanks and keep doing God's work with this "best version" of STALKER

[untold olive]

i think the health system, and i think you can change the values in mcm

[fast shadow]

Idk getting shot sucks

lol

[rigid karma]

Oh been wondering about "Global Illumination" in User.ltx along with "bloom_fast" and "r2_allow_r1_lights"
Are these stable? Any benefits to enabling them?
Looking them up the answers are all over the place.
I've messed around with GI at 256 photons and depth at 5, and I can tell there is a difference in lighting but I have to run the game at 720p.

I don't know if the OpenX-ray engine fixes issues related to these settings or not, can't really find any info on it

[loud verge]

I had a look but can't see anything to determine the camera shake when you get hit. I don't mind all the penalties and such from the health system. It is just the jerking and juddering that drives me nuts. Especially as you can't ACTUALLY go prone and hide. So hiding behind a huge rock you can still get shot as it is only the camera that goes that low, the character model still sticks above it. That and getting shot through the bushes etc by pinpoint AI. 😄

Surprised Grok hasn't added the mod that stops AI seeing through foliage and such as if it wasn't there.

[rigid karma]

^ I'd also like to see this in the future

[fast shadow]

You can enable it if you want, I use it

[rigid lintel]

Supper Dum Question i just installed the mods and seeing the numbers infront of every name should it be = to the Priority number like 101 to be in priority 101

[brisk zinc]

Enable it, it's safe to use

[fast shadow]

@rigid lintel Yes, mostly. It should be such that 101 goes before 102. But it won't always add up on the right column "priority"

[rigid karma]

Should I enable EAX in the settings, does it do anything anymore with Open-Xray or with the updates GAMMA provides?

[loud verge]

Good to know! I shall be adding that ASAP. Appreciated.

[dapper iron]

If I enable should I have to move it from the "gamma disabled tab"? or just thick it there its fine?

[brisk zinc]

That I don't know

@willow hawk enlighten us if you can, pls

[willow hawk]

That one is fine

just leave it here

no conflicts

[brisk zinc]

@dapper iron just leave it there

[mellow canopy]

I just loaded my game and I'm healed and all my electronic devices have full battery. Does it happen to you also?

[dapper iron]

I may have been blessed by the zone !

I also have a question about the flea market in the garbage. The map states that there is 2 traders but I never find the 2nd one? Is it the sleepy guy underneath the concrete slabs?

[warped ginkgo]

Yeah

They rotate

Day/night

[mellow canopy]

ahhhhhh !

thanks

[dapper iron]

In my game everybody is dead but the guy sitting first floor

[mellow canopy]

usually happens for me also

Did not change anything to economy and the guy from the flea market sells a gun

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk

How do u properly disable Enhanced shaders mod? Everytime i try it my game won't even load into the game, disabling SSR, NVG, mutant etc all work fine

[mellow canopy]

Update : I seem to get less ammo from looting.

[brisk zinc]

It was a joke, don't worry

[willow hawk]

there's a slider for that ?

[mellow canopy]

Yes

Loot quality was at 1 initially

[rigid karma]

Regarding my earlier question, adding a button. Would you consider a "Toaster" installation option?
So that players can just click that button and have a setup similar to the "framerate optimization and additional addons (just the performance considerations)" tabs on this discord. Just to be more user friendly.

[willow hawk]

maybe

[dapper iron]

that mod is disable by default right?.

[rigid karma]

Thanks Grok for hearing me out.

[mellow canopy]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Can someone tell me the default value of this one?

[wind forum]

it is 0.65 i think

[modern fern]

Is there like…female stalkers in the game besides hip? Swear I saw a female model merc in wild territory, even voiced but I’m not sure. Guess I’m wondering if every faction has at least one female in the home base.

[brisk zinc]

Saw one ecologist female in Wild Territory some time ago

[modern fern]

Yea, real unicorns. I wouldn’t mind having one as a companion, ya know for cultural diversity

[winter gust]

i think DICK adds a few female stalkers, rare but makes for nice variety

[obtuse rune]

I think I've heard a female duty in passing, though it might have been freedom. Very rare though

[severe bloom]

yo... probably a stupid question....

I downloaded the installer but i'm kinda hesitant to run it cause i'm kinda new to modding and worried I may fuck something up. Will this overwrite files of the main game directory or will I be allowed to make a profile on MO2. Basically I just want to be sure I can launch the game using my other mod profiles on MO2.

[rigid karma]

No it will make it's own profile in MO2 and it doesn't touch the anomaly folder except for adding reshade and adding modified .exes. Oh and a user.ltx

[tacit yew]

there is a female in freedom base yeah @obtuse rune

[obtuse rune]

If you follow the instructions it will have you create a new text file called portable.txt which will tell MO2 to use the profile within the local folder rather than the global install

[granite orchid]

So I heard that there is an artefact upgrade system or smthin

So I heard that there is a new artifact system in this modpack where you can upgrade your artifacts.
How does all that work ? I can't find an entry in the PDA.

sorry fkin internet is just dying rn xd

[ocean pine]

Hello! New here. I highly enjoy this mod pack but was wondering if you had any suggestions for some slight performance boost to fps at all, thanks!

[tacit yew]

try dx10, open shader menu (home) and adjust them, render distance, lower grass etc

when I booted the game i was having 30 fps in cordon, now 90-100

[ocean pine]

Ok thank you.

[severe bloom]

oh ok thanks man. So if I understand correctly it's like I said. Basically it'll have a different profile for the mods it uses

[sly whale]

My game always crashes when i want to loot a body

[warped ginkgo]

dux character kids adds female stalkers

[warped ginkgo]

check if you have haruka skill system activated

[granite orchid]

@brisk zinc Sorry for the ping mate but do you have any idea how the artifact combining and upgrading works ?

I think I saw you talking abt it

Can't find any mod that does that rly only thing that comes close is one of the perk artifacts that transmutates or smthin

And I've seen people talk about upgrading artifacts so I have 0 clue what they're talking about lol.

[warped ginkgo]

it's from perk artefact

there is one artefact that allows you to combine two to create one of a higher tier

don't really remember, it's explained in the description of the artefact itself

[granite orchid]

Ah aight so its just that one thing aight

I thought it was like a core mechanic or smthin

[tall charm]

after your done wading thru the bodies

[brisk zinc]

I didn't even know it was already in, I thought it was something for RC2

[nimble hamlet]

I don't think it's in?

[sly whale]

Taders do not sell any guns?

[nimble hamlet]

#❗welcome #│📚manual for information on the pack

[sly whale]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

Lauta_ro just said it's from Perk Artefact

And it should be this one

[dapper iron]

Im 5 days ingame. moving between cordon-garbage doing missions. Dont visit any other place. Which other location you recommend should I visit next?. Like a natural progression

oh Im stalker

[nimble hamlet]

Meadow, Truck Cem, Agro, Rostrok are all good

[warped ginkgo]

Swamp

could do the last dawn storyline and get some good loot from military

its a bit hard, since there are military exos

[granite orchid]

Honestly at 5 days I would look at trying to get a shotgun and an AR atleast.

The more days pass the stronger the world gets

You'll start seeing bloodsuckers/chimeras/burers/poltergeists etc etc

even in cordon at day 10

Don't worry too much about it, just make sure you have good weapons packing.

Atleast a shotgun to defend yourself from mutants.

[dapper iron]

Thanks for the locations suggestion. And I have a shotgun and found a mosin nagant that jams all the time but I love it 🙂

[granite orchid]

Look in to the crafting systems , look for basic tools, and also move in to rostok and setup stashes there so you can start hoarding your loot.

I'm assuming you're new to anomaly.

[dapper iron]

yes

[granite orchid]

Yeah so basically go to rostok, right above garbage.

You'll have lots of npcs there that will give you good quests.

They'll also give you stash locations as a reward sometimes, make sure to go and check them out.

The 2 items you want are basic tools and advanced tools.

Once you get basic tools right click them and click "Use"

You'll see the whole crafting UI

Its preety intuitive from there.

And in order to setup a stash you just get a backpack from a vendor and you right click -> create stash.

Creates a "chest" that you can put your items in.

[dapper iron]

ok....

so rostok next location.

[granite orchid]

Yup, its basically the biggest city in the game

Its safe* don't worry about it at all, you might see some mutants on the way right before the entrance. Usually small stuff like dogs so dw.

[midnight shard]

How to turn off an Unjam hotkey on double pressing F button? So annoying and useless hotkey but idk how to disable it. There's no such hotkey in MCM and standard hotkey section in game options

[desert robin]

Should these be all left unchecked? (The red ones)

[granite orchid]

Says optional on top ;p

[desert robin]

Yeah but FDDA also..

[rotund birch]

would you add modlist.txt presets for customs like, low end, non bas, etc, as side additions. basically different variations

[granite orchid]

thats another thing, if something is unchecked in the non optional parts

Its supposed to be unchecked

90% of the time its cuz it caused issues

you can prolly try it but it will 100% cause some kind of issues

[desert robin]

Just thought it would instead be under "GAMMA DISABLED" so thats why its confusing.. Other mods that are there are unticked, so thats why im thinking it shouldnt be unticked or why its confusing. all g

[brisk zinc]

Disabled are disabled for a reason, don't use them

You can use the one about foliage if you want, just tick it and leave it there

You can also use 181, it's safe

[sly whale]

Any tips for run dx11 more smooth?

[brisk zinc]

Fullscreen, no v-sync, lower grass

[desert robin]

"a safer place is needed to sleep" Safer than deep inside an army barracks with no enemies for miles?

[tacit yew]

Hey anyone knows about this? I think most 5.56 guns Has like 30 dmg but 5.45 like 40-50 dmg right? Are 5.56 guns like l85 or m
4a4 really better than an ak12 monolith?

[warped ginkgo]

check if it's safe for shelter during emissions

[granite orchid]

5.45 are like 35 dmg I think

Reason 5.56 guns are stronger is just RoF

most 5.45 range around 650 RoF, then you look at the AR-15 HERA and that does 30 dmg but shoots at a whopping 1000 RoF

In other words, nato guns go brrr,and kill faster.

[lone bough]

Read the modlist and it looks like the only thing that changes Artefacts is https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/perk-based-artefacts
Are there any other changes made? The vanilla anomaly artefacts have always seemed pretty bad.

[warped ginkgo]

Arx

[delicate wharf]

grok is planning an artifact overhaul to add to gamma

[modern fern]

What would I need to disable to activate maids icons? Thanks in advance

[desert robin]

Whats relatively the most common type of ammo?

[noble oar]

5.45 or 7.62x39 if I’d like to guess

Aks are everywhere

Also 12 gauge shells

[lone bough]

7.62x39 pops up all the time for me in Cordon merchants
Rarely do they sell 5.45 but the bandits and soldiers drop it a lot. That can vary with your settings though; think I increased droprate a bit.

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

There's an ammo progression for merchants

5.45 will come at 1000 goodwill

Im randomly hearing US accents in game now. Is this a mod? I wasnt before last update, that i can remember. Not complaining, just not sure if its intended

[willow hawk]

[dapper iron]

Is it just me or the condition numbers of the weapon and outfits parts are so difficult to read?. Everytime I have to read if a part is worth or not to dissasemble i must put my face touching my monitor to read xd. Can I increase the font size of the numbers in anyway?

[past sigil]

what does that mean do i need to do something?

[wraith token]

It's just letting you know. All is good.

[past sigil]

ok thanks

[dapper iron]

Is it normal that sometimes you find enemies like soldiers or bandits staying in place and dont move or react even when you shot at them?. Its like a bug?. I went to kill the military near cordon. 3 enemies react at the noise but other 3 stays stand near campfire just there and dont move a muscle when receive bullets or hear noises. like shoot sitting ducks.

[granite orchid]

Is it raining ?
Do you have stealth kills on ?
Have you modified any of the Stealth addon properties ?
Is it night time ?

[dapper iron]

I have stealth on...and not rain and the time was near 18:00

[wraith token]

Were you really far away too?

[granite orchid]

The way stealth kills work is that there is a radius around the enemy where the death of the npc will be detected.

There's 2 diff radiuses 1 for melee and 1 for silencer kills

If you feel npcs are not reacting accordingly you can modify the values in the settings menu

[dapper iron]

ok..so its a stealth thing. the game naturally dont have that bugs?.

[granite orchid]

Usually without silent kills on the AI is too responsive xD. Like whenever you kill someone in an npc's squad im preety sure all other squad members are notified and will try and find you.

No matter the distance

I'm 90% sure it works like this vanilla wise.

So silent kills can add some realism where you can actually stealth kill a few enemies in succession but with values too low.

They look blind / deaf.

But yeah STALKER AI can be incredibly smart or incredibly stupid.

Its 50/50

xD

[dapper iron]

I killed the military with a mosin nagant.. no silencer .. so it was imposible that nobody hear the gunshots xd

[granite orchid]

Yeah hearing is another thing entirely.

If 1 npc hears you all others are notified and will know your location.

Others in the squad that is

Rain will also reduce gun noise btw

[dapper iron]

but even when I shoot 1 guy he doesnt move...like a statue

[granite orchid]

That's basically because he doesn't see you.

Just how stalker AI is

[dapper iron]

ohhh ok

[granite orchid]

But yeah they will outsmart you

allot

You'll see

Like if you kill a few from afar and they don't know where you are, but are close enough to detect the death of the npc.

They will hide behind cover and if they see your back later when you're looting.

It will crouch untill its right behind you

and unload

Crouching npcs are rly fucking silent

needs to be like 1 meter behind u

so u can hear it

[dapper iron]

yeah I know...It happens and I love it...Many times are more smart than me thats why Im surprised that these thing happens

[blissful tree]

The military I dealt with in DV did that while in combat, they scared the living shit out of me with their spooky crouching.

[rocky cradle]

How do i replace a bolt in a rifle?

just found a svd

[wraith token]

Gotta find a repair kit thats compatible with the svd

and you'll need to go to a workbench

[teal glen]

You can right click on weapon and click field strip then remove the bolt and replace with a better condition bolt

[rocky cradle]

do i need anything special for that

[teal glen]

don't need to go to a workbench

nope nothing special

but you will need the correct repair kit to maintain the parts

only thing you cannot field strip is the barrel

[rocky cradle]

oh

how do i replace a barrel then?

on workbench with the repair kit?

also, is there a way to repair gun parts from lets say 10% durability

or do i just toss them

[teal glen]

get at least basic tools or pay to use a vice and you always need the correct repair kit for the svd then you can replace barrels

no toss them if they are under 60% durability

I don't think they can be repaired

Actually I think theres a kit to repair those low durability parts if you get a level 2 mechanic but I'm not 100% sure

[gentle sphinx]

its like a parts repair kit or something like that

[teal glen]

theres also a very good guide in the PDA under "guide" worth the read I think

[north turret]

you dont even have to field strip, just drag the new bolt over the gun and itll replace the old one

[teal glen]

also true I didn't think of that

[gentle sphinx]

doing it with tools is better though

using tools makes gun cleaner while field stripping makes gun dirtier

[teal glen]

Should remind him that parts can only be replaced in the field if the gun is over 30% durability

[sly whale]

Can i add HD Models?

[willow hawk]

#custom-textures

[sly whale]

Alright , now i prefer Vanilla Models

[rocky cradle]

ty

[teal glen]

No problem happy to help

[fading rose]

Hi ppl! i must reduce the number of stalkers and mutants via options or the mcm? Because i reduced stalker pop to 0.5 but still there are overpopulated in new game.

[warped ginkgo]

Check

Id you have zcp enabled

In mo2

It overwrites default pop settinf

[fading rose]

ahh now i see ill reduce to there then haha, thanks!

[frozen pawn]

how do night sights like the pn23 work or do they not?

[willow hawk]

they do #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[jagged pawn]

anyone knows what vnz circle is

[rocky cradle]

Hey, do i need a sleeping bag as well if i buy a bag with a camping tent?

[warped ginkgo]

i think yeah, sleeping inside a camping tent protects you from emission if i'm not wrong

[rocky cradle]

alright

ty

what are these? i assume its some kind of hidden stash but why the green colour

[fast shadow]

Its to mark any stashes on the map

You get info off people or pdas and they are marked on teh map

[ivory marsh]

hey guys, how do i change the hotkeys that are not in control settings. I usually play with c to be my crouch key. But g.a.m.m.a has a companion command on c. The command is in russian so don't know what it is. And btw is there a way to switch back to english voicelines?

[warped ginkgo]

from a vanilla option, no there is no english voiceline

[fast shadow]

@ivory marsh the command is in the normal controls called companion wheel I think. To get rid of voicelines you have to tweak the config.

[warped ginkgo]

there is a addon i think that adds most of the voices to stalker english

[fast shadow]

You can put this at the bottom of the mod order to remove voicelines from the C key.

The config itself is located in GAMMA Bind fixes if you want to edit it your self

I just copied and edited the files

[noble lava]

hi did somebody can tell me please which mod changes the alert when the storm comes ? it seems a different alert then anomaly vanilla ?

hehe mixed the languages a bit 🙂

[sly whale]

Moved to AW and crashed

Now i press last save and it crashes

[willow hawk]

wut

Did you add other addons ?

[blissful tree]

Green are better than your usual white.

Just how in vanilla purple is better than green.

[ivory marsh]

what is the c button used for? Im trying to figure out what mod is doing the voiceline?

[sly whale]

Classic Textures , And No grass no lod

And i have winter mod

[granite orchid]

I don't think classic textures is a good idea with YAWM

Might be the cause

not sure though

[sly whale]

Alright

Let me see

Crashed again , its not classic textures

[noble lava]

i mean the alert sound

[proper jetty]

Anyone else crash when you redeem a daddy token?

[wind forum]

what does Demonized FDDA New Time Events do?

[willow hawk]

Intended. It's an emergency save

[dapper iron]

How do you cook in campfires without using fuel? I only have this but it needs fuel

[north turret]

@dapper iron Just go up the the fire, when you see a F prompt you're close enough. It'll show you if you also need canteen/bottled/vodka too.

the F prompt for lighting the fire, not for cooking. Idk if you even need to see it but thats how I do it

[frozen pawn]

Is there a good place/way to get basic tools?

[tacit yew]

Yeah might be, but the best/recommended way to get it is just open stashes, check your map, green ones have more chance to have them

Doing missions and looting bodies is the best way to get stash coordenades

[proper jetty]

ooo. That makes more sense now

[viral compass]

what mods are in this mod pack?

[fast shadow]

A lot

[viral compass]

which mods?

[nimble hamlet]

a lot...

[fast shadow]

Thats not even all of them

Over 200

Download the pack and try it out

[nimble hamlet]

Not to mention all the custom tweaks by Grok

[nimble hamlet]

[scenic pulsar]

hi, I'm trying to adjunst the darkness and it seems I don't have the r2_lumscale_amb command in the console...

[nimble hamlet]

try just lumscale

believe its typo'd here

[scenic pulsar]

ohh, its missing sun before, thanks!

[nimble hamlet]

no thank YOU for reading resources first

[scenic pulsar]

it's wrong in the trouble shooting

[nimble hamlet]

Yeah it's known just hasn't got around to it yet haha

[tacit yew]

press L ingame

[scenic pulsar]

even with flashlight I can't see shit lol

[fast shadow]

lmao

[scenic pulsar]

I don't think it'll look good at daytime though...I had to crank both settings to max

[fast shadow]

Imagine needed to see, my stalker uses echolocation

[tacit yew]

thats how I fixed the darkness

[scenic pulsar]

I like your way better, got the other two settings back to normal and increased the brightness

worst case it's fast to tune it back to 1 during daytime without fiddling with the console, thanks

[fast shadow]

If you want to keep it spooky you can install a brighter flashlights mod

[scenic pulsar]

I don't like that I can't see without light and the NPCs can, so I like a minimum of ambient visibility

[fast shadow]

👍

[scenic pulsar]

but thanks for the suggestions!

[brisk zinc]

Write the correct one in a message so I can pin it

[scenic pulsar]

r2_sun_lumscale_amb

quick question, what is the top bar (item 1) and the number (item 2). I've seen those change but I can't figure out what they mean

[brisk zinc]

First one is psy health

Second one is ammo

[scenic pulsar]

thanks!

[fast shadow]

The bottom bar is stamina

[rocky cradle]

any tips on how to get more money? Atm im doing stashes/tasks and my money goes hand to mouth pretty much (meds, 7.62x39 + slugs/buckshot, water, repair stuff)
got a bunch of decent weapons in my stash waiting for the time when i can afford to clean them up on mechanic

[brisk zinc]

@scenic pulsar add to your message something like "need to change this inside #│🔧troubleshooting" or wherever is incorrect

[brisk zinc]

Tasks, tasks and tasks

Also

If you have meats and whatnot, go to Butcher in Garbage

[rocky cradle]

ye he pays decent for them, like 300 rub. each for certain meats

[brisk zinc]

If you have artifacts, go to the doctor in Yantar

Sakharov, don't remember the name

[rocky cradle]

Oh, i should hit yantar

yeah

[brisk zinc]

He's the one who pays the most

[rocky cradle]

been too scared to go to northern areas yet cuz my gear is poopoo

but yeah, i'll check yantar out

i got a couple artefacts

[brisk zinc]

It's not that bad

[rocky cradle]

ye

[brisk zinc]

You should worry past Army Warehouse

[rocky cradle]

i get 2tapped by most non-dog sized mutants / AP ammo

[brisk zinc]

Well at this point do everything you can do in Cordon/Swamps

[rocky cradle]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

Rostok is good too, just go to the bar

[rocky cradle]

oh yeah and the arena gives decent $$

but it can be rough

[brisk zinc]

Don't go in Wild Territory if you don't feel it as well

[rocky cradle]

yeh

mostly army / renegade / merc guys giving me trouble sometimes

and stuff like bloodsuckers / chimeras

[fast shadow]

Turn up your damage multiplier to 2 or 3, makes it so you still can get killed realisticly and so can others

[brisk zinc]

Try to stay inside bandit's territory, sooner or later you'll find good gear on them

[scenic pulsar]

in this chat??

[fast shadow]

Or put your protection up to strong and you can play it like call of duty

[rocky cradle]

ye i mean i got a bunch of great loot in my stash, but cant afford fixin them up

hmm

[scenic pulsar]

or you want it in feedback?

[rocky cradle]

tbh if someone has a leather jacket and i hit him with 7.62 he should die in 1 hit to thorax area

i might fiddle with the dmg multi

[brisk zinc]

Here it's good too, I'll warn Grok, it's just to have a complete thing so he knows what he needs to do

[scenic pulsar]

change "r2_lumscale_amb" to "r2_sun_lumscale_amb" in #│🔧troubleshooting

[rich acorn]

the number 1 means you shoot 1 bullet at a time and if u press 0 you can switch to A (automatic gunfire) if the gun has it. Or its ammo loaded in the gun, one of those two

[scenic pulsar]

nah, it's bullet count, I didn't figure it out because I started with only a shotgun and the number changed between 1 and 2 only lol

[rocky cradle]

any reason why my optics look like this? thats Mark 8 CQBSS 1.1-8x24

🤔

im on ultrawide if that affects anything

[brisk zinc]

Probably that's the reason

Can you be more specific?

[rocky cradle]

wdym

[brisk zinc]

"look like this"

Like how?

[warped ginkgo]

i think the shader driven scopes is bugging

[rocky cradle]

hmm

[warped ginkgo]

like it applies the shader effect, but obviously the scope texture is morew ide

[rocky cradle]

yeah

i wonder if theres some 21:9 fix patch for BaS, gna google

found it

[midnight shard]

Is there any option to fix such things?

Flying wpn addons are insane ...

RIP immersion

[obtuse rune]

Yeah find that wpn id, change the silencer x/y in an ltx

[fast shadow]

@rocky cradle there is a ultra wide patch for BaS

I use it too

[rocky cradle]

ye i found it, worked like a charm

i wonder if im missing out on some other 21:9 fixes

might have to keep an eye out for odd stuff

[fast shadow]

If you find any I would be grateful if you ping me 😄

[regal veldt]

its against Gboobs i think to set damage more than 1

[fast shadow]

What do you mean

Does it break stuff?

[regal veldt]

i mean GBOOBS already changes damages ingame, u dont need to change it from default 1 in settings

might be

@willow hawk can aswer this

[fast shadow]

oh...

[pale silo]

is there a place where the mods readme files get stored? I'm wondering how the mod that makes the game kind of an RPG works, the one with skills like strength and so

[obtuse rune]

That mod is called Haruka's Skill System, you can open the files through MO2

[desert robin]

Some reason FDDA re-downloads every time, even when it's showing downloaded and up to date...

[brisk zinc]

Disable force check for github

[obtuse rune]

Do you have the latest installer? If so there should be a checkbox for force github downloads

[brisk zinc]

This too

[rich acorn]

How does the RF thingy work

i put it to the right frequency

i am near south eastern region of cordon as the message says

now what?

[tacit yew]

Now put it in your hand and start walking around the region it said

[rich acorn]

ok

[tacit yew]

You should follow the beeps, more beeps more strong

And when ur near, hold f to see easier the item

[rich acorn]

holy shit

it said " alo , da"

sounded very romanian

that freaked me out :))

[tacit yew]

Oh hehe im having great experiences, i wish I had a better gpu so I could record my experience

[obtuse rune]

This + left/right click increases/decreases freq, hold shift/ctrl/alt for larger amounts
#│📚manual message

[tacit yew]

If you can't switch freq it's because you are holding the knife too

[obtuse rune]

Ah yes, no weapon holding at the same time

[rich acorn]

what gpu u have?

[tacit yew]

Gtx 960 barely playing the game with mid settings at 70-90 fps

And you?

[rich acorn]

rtx 3070

[tacit yew]

I tried to get 3070 fe but failed :(

[rich acorn]

buy it whatever price

and use it to farm ethereum when u sleep

found it!

[rigid karma]

playing on an overclocked Ryzen 5600G running at 4.5GHz/iGPU at 2400MHz with custom drivers. Pretty stable 55ish fps at 720p

oh RAM is 16GB/4000MHz

[rich acorn]

integrates gpu???

[rigid karma]

720p isn't too bad if you enable AMD image sharpening at 80 and set SMAA to very high with no MSAA

yeah

integrated

[rich acorn]

Anyone has any idea whats causing this bug ?

[rigid karma]

also sub-60fps is tolerable because of FreeSYNC

[warped ginkgo]

did you add any other hud addon?

or full gamma default install

[rich acorn]

probably is because of texture hud patch for navs masks or sometinng like that

esti roman?

[warped ginkgo]

nu

[marsh hatch]

guys help

[rigid karma]

yes comrade?

[marsh hatch]

I'm currently experiencing a problem

[desert robin]

Unheard of.

[marsh hatch]

I posted it on #old-bugs

Whether I try to travel from the cemetery to army warehouses, the game crashes

Said in the logs that it couldn't found a shader model called "models/window"

[desert robin]

There a way to keep 'Settings' in the game somehow so that when you clean re-install you can just drop them back in?

[rich acorn]

is there a way to disable the disasamble "animation" that just blocks you for 3 seconds without disabling the eating,drinking animations?

[obtuse rune]

I think the hotkey is either [ or ], not sure which animations it disables other than disassemble

[rich acorn]

I know but it disables all of them

[obtuse rune]

Odd, I still have eat/drink

[light mauve]

Hello anybody have a user.itx with a mix of performance and beauty

[rich acorn]

I did it

So , disable FDDA in MCM menu

THen press ] to disalbe ingame animations

then enable FDDA in MCM menu

[obtuse rune]

Ah I guess that work :p

[rich acorn]

this way u only have animations for medical,food and water but not when dissasemble 😄

[light mauve]

Cant seem to get stable fps

[tacit yew]

at that point just use dx8 lmao

you will be able to use medium settings and even some shaders at get 90 fps

bad thing about dx8 is that you lose the lights.. try dx10 (not avx), that gave me more performance than dx11 avx

[fading rose]

i noticed that in the default gamma options the sunshaft are in screen space and no volumetric

is that intended ? Or i must put volumetric ?

[fading rose]

I got less stutter putting max frames to 144 value

so i am playing anomaly at medium with reshade, aggresor and enhanced shaders at 35-50 fps at 1600x900 but i have screen space not volumetric sun.

[tacit yew]

idk @fading rose but if you are playing dx11 avx, try dx10 no avx, and let me know if it improves fps

[fading rose]

my game runs like that with reshade and every thicked beetween 35-50 fps, after i put 144 below disabled vsync in options

i tried dx10 but it turns my fps down, idk why.

the grass looks like that and trees because i am at 1600x900 (also the font size are ridiculamente small lol)

but the game runs smooth, the thing is this modpack is intended to go with screen space?

[slow ridge]

how can i disable head bob? cam_inert 0 doesnt work

[obtuse rune]

That should get rid of most of it, then open MCM and you can disable effects in the Camera Reanimation Project

[graceful pier]

Hello folks, I'm fairly new to modding. Is there an installation guide somewhere? I can't post in the install channel for some reason to ask for help. Apologies for the newb questions

[fading rose]

#old-how-to follow the steps closely

is an autoinstaller but u need to do some manual stuff too.

[graceful pier]

Oh geez didn't see that, thank you

[fading rose]

no problem, thanks to you.

[gusty path]

also, 11 or 8

dont use 10, he hasnt optimized anything for 10

#old-framerate-optimisation

[graceful pier]

Having a question about the install. I just did ran the installer and MO2 error came up, but it doesn't give me any further instructions. Am I supposed to direct it to my Anomoly forder, or the Modding folder that has Grok's installer in?

[gusty path]

your anomaly install

point to anomaly install

[tacit yew]

My dx10 runs well btw, a lot better than dx11, but yeah for most ppl better dx11

[gusty path]

👍

[proven thorn]

Are any vendors supposed to sell armor repair kits? I haven't seen a single one

[slow ridge]

thank you, it worked!

[obtuse rune]

Technicians do, they get higher tiers available when you deliver tools (basic > advanced > expert). Otherwise you can craft them yourself with the tool kits

[fading rose]

can i reinstall enhanced shaders to get grading_filmic03 preset? Or there will be problems related to shaders? Thanks!!

[rigid karma]

I see your philosophy on higher FPS and appreciate your input on the matter, however I cannot sacrifice that beautiful lighting. The FPS is just shy if 60 and with freesync it really doesn't bother me too much.

[tacit yew]

Same, you can still have beautiful graphics while having great fps using DX10 and tweaking heavily the settings

[rigid karma]

I might try that

[tacit yew]

thats what I did, first time i started GAMMA i had 35 fps, now 90 in cordon

[rustic comet]

gimme that ryzen and rams you don't need them anyway

joking, sound engineer?

[rigid karma]

hmm... have you tweaked AMD's default tesselation mode to like 8x or lower?

[tacit yew]

im using nvidia.. 5600x + 960 gtx, im heavily bottleneck by gpu

[rigid karma]

lol I feel like I got extremely lucky in the silicon lottery as most people can't get their 5600G overclocked stable that high

btw it's 4.6GHz stable. that was a typo

I'm just glad because I'd have to suck a leprechaun's dick for a GPU these days...

[tacit yew]

i've been trying to get a 3070 under 600€ for months XD

some day..

[rigid karma]

xD yeah sucks comrade

[tacit yew]

I OCed my 960, and works nice in most games, but little artifacts here and there, nothing to worry

but the "little artifacts"... in stalker means this:

[rigid karma]

xDDD

I'll be AMD til I die, respectfully haha

it WAS Voodoo til I die but they died

lol

God they where ahead of their time

[rustic comet]

bye bye gpu

how is "little artifacts here and there" nothing to worry

is literally a gpu hardware issue

[tacit yew]

I've read that artifacts caused only by overclocking don't damage the hardware

[rustic comet]

it's literally one of the best ways to tell if a gpu is damaged

don't listen to these people bruh

[tacit yew]

ok 🤐

[willow hawk]

Not gonna happen

[rustic comet]

of course i wish your gpu to be fine

[willow hawk]

Lol it does

[rustic comet]

ripperoni

[tacit yew]

yeah only happens when i OC, so its fine

[willow hawk]

Time to move your GPU to the oven

[tacit yew]

i hope it will last enough

[willow hawk]

My bro and me had a GPU that was having artifacts even without Oc

[rustic comet]

yeah my old 770 too

after two weeks it died

lmao

[willow hawk]

We removed the fans, put it in the oven a 100 degrees. New thermal paste etc, worked much better for 1 month and then it was dead all of a sudden

[rigid karma]

time to resurrect that old cooking an egg with the cpu meme

[willow hawk]

[rigid karma]

oh hey is better a-life overhaul worth adding?

[modern fern]

Is there some kinda trick I’m missing when it comes to companions? Like I sprint and they take a month of sundays to catch up because while I’m soloing military base they chasing a lone Tushkano

[tacit yew]

J keybind so they teleport to you if they are near

If they are far, maybe they are entertained killing a dog, just turn of attack with numpad 1 and when they are ready activate them again

But they are kinda dumb and weak, they barely help me as much as they do in EFP

[modern fern]

Thanks for the help, with so much emphasis on companions you’d think they’d be more viable. Last thing I need is for them to get 2 shotted or caught in my explosive and all 75kg of loot lost cause I can’t carry it

[frozen pawn]

How do you get beter body armor, do you have to scavenge off of your own faction?

[modern fern]

If you are trying to stay within your own faction for body armor your only choice is finding it on the corpse of your faction members during combat with others or finding it in stashes at random. Killing faction members stealthily or openly will flag you.

All members of a faction are put into squads of 3-4 so if you kill one member of your faction out of base there’s a good chance at some point while you are at the work bench you’ll get snuck up on a murdered by his squad mates

[modern fern]

In addition, taking up lost frequency tasks leads you to at least 3-4 corpses of your faction. So there’s a good chance to get armor of various types from such tasks. Ask random members if they need anything in your faction base till one gives you such task

[tacit yew]

But it doesnt matter the armor faction he equips

He just have to make sure to tear off the patches

[modern fern]

I figured he already knew you can find armor that’s an upgrade quite easily. So I assumed he meant faction specific

[neon storm]

Hey hey hey, will there be a patch for provak's weapon overhaul?🥺 👉👈

[modern fern]

Lol that would have to come from him

[neon storm]

(For provak's weapon overhaul compatibility)

[willow hawk]

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

[neon storm]

😔

[modern fern]

God I saw that coming

[willow hawk]

Provak is fucking shit

[modern fern]

[neon storm]

Lmao

[willow hawk]

wait for CWWP

And GAMMA will combine CWWP and BAS

[neon storm]

Yooooo

Lesgoooo

[rustic comet]

ahahhaha let's mock this userrrrrrrrrr

[neon storm]

🗿

[rustic comet]

[modern fern]

I use to play it too since it was the only plug and play I was aware of for some time till this chad Grok

[tacit yew]

We need a hall of fame for this things

[rustic comet]

Honestly the only reason one should use provak is because he likes the feeling of his balls being crushed by a steamroller

[rustic comet]

just go to suggestions or addon discussions of anomaly channel sometimes and you'll find the rarest gems

[neon storm]

Is PWO really that bad? lmao

[rustic comet]

not very rare

[rustic comet]

yeah it's shit

[neon storm]

Welp

[rustic comet]

author gives no support

bad quality

[neon storm]

Time to uninstall it

[rustic comet]

it's just a soup of existing weapon mods you can get anywhere else

and other low quality stuff just like taz guns i don't really get why you should play with

[noble oar]

I see so many YouTubers play expedition or provak and I’m like “there’s so much better..”

[rustic comet]

just play with vanilla anomaly + bas + single gun replacers on moddb (the quality ones)

[rustic comet]

while provak weapon overhaul is shit, expedition is shit that rented a smoking to look classy

but it's still shit

and again, author disappeared as well

so you'd get no support from both

[willow hawk]

There's GAMMA and EFP and that's it

[noble oar]

^ was just about to say that

[willow hawk]

or you mod the game yourself

[rustic comet]

efp is slowly becoming the honeypot for tarkov kiddos tho, with devs encouraging this shit

but it's their business i guess

[willow hawk]

Expedition graphics - it's fine if you want 85 reshade stuff to play with to make your own preset. But most likely it will fuck the gameplay and the UI

[rustic comet]

efp 3.0 has that fucking add-on that replaces icons with eft ones

[willow hawk]

EFP is aiming to be "Tarkov in Anomaly"

[tacit yew]

What devs? 😛

[willow hawk]

meanwhile GAMMA has the kind of traders EFT has and getting the tools and crafting is mimicking the hideout of Tarkov

[neon storm]

Lmao

[rustic comet]

efp devs

[noble oar]

EFP and gamma have distinct goals and I respect that, though gamma wins me over in terms of modularity by a longshot

[tacit yew]

Minotaur left 2 month ago, maid do work, but it's not the same

[noble oar]

EFP has a lot of mods with patches baked into eachother so changing it to your liking is difficult

[willow hawk]

GAMMA is built better anyways with it's dynamic updater

although it requires me to constantly update everything....

[neon storm]

Mfw efp has 300+ mods

[halcyon sedge]

no fucking way dude

[tacit yew]

Well, minotaur had great ideas, he wanted to make efp more survavilish, restrict food and force people to cook.. I think @willow hawk is in a good direction

[willow hawk]

I already got them working together with CWWP beta

It will just require fine tuning of NPCs profiles but that's ok

[halcyon sedge]

just installed gamma today, cant wait to use dual scope grenade launcher sniper rifles there xd

[willow hawk]

that part is fun

[neon storm]

Yooooo

[willow hawk]

GAMMA updates are a bit slower because I'm in the middle of a long step for the next milestone

should be out today if I'm motivated enough

[tacit yew]

RC2 today??? 😛

[willow hawk]

not RC2 no

I want to iron out that memory leak before RC2

[neon storm]

Can't wait for bluedrake to make a vid about and have 'The MOST TACTICAL MOD EVER in this game…'

[willow hawk]

because RC2 will add new bugs most likely

[rustic comet]

the patch to make bas and cw work together will be prolly one of the most insane and painful (and kinda pointless if you ask me, cwwp is meant to be played alone since it's +100 guns) tasks ever

[tacit yew]

Yeah once the streamers starts playing gamma the kiddos will come

[willow hawk]

I'm not sure about this

traders will be a pain

good thing GAMMA doesn't care about traders

[neon storm]

"GUYYYYYS!!!!! LOOOKK THE MOST TAAAAACTICALLLLL MODPACK FOR EVERY MILSIM NERDS TO SATISFY THEIIIIIR BAAAALLLLS OOFFFF!!!!!"

[rustic comet]

Yeah, it's part of it

attachments

[willow hawk]

but you can just DTLX the whole CWWP edits and you are good to go

[rustic comet]

guns that accidentally have the same name (i hope they don't)

[willow hawk]

they don't

[neon storm]

Gunslinger import to anomaly would be fairly interesting

[rustic comet]

textures with the same name because eft uses some cw textures

[willow hawk]

cannot happen

[rustic comet]

yeah let's to it together

😂

[neon storm]

[willow hawk]

I was that person once kek

And I was waiting for ATAZ

[rustic comet]

ew

[willow hawk]

[neon storm]

Bruh

[willow hawk]

It was one week after delving into Anomaly though kek

[rustic comet]

anomaly is cool because the devs are just trying to do their own gunslinger

there are plenty of mods out there that use or will use gunslinger

go play them

[neon storm]

I mean

[rustic comet]

xrmpe has gunslinger

ogsr will have gunslinger

[halcyon sedge]

yo, maybe a dumb question, but did GSC approach you guys once for eventual modding of STALKER 2?

[rustic comet]

ladc too

[neon storm]

ShOC already has a gunslinger import

Kinda

[rustic comet]

i hope they approach me for a job, even cleaning their toilets

[rustic comet]

yeah they did it recently

[neon storm]

A job of licking sergiy's boots

[halcyon sedge]

hahaha, na man I am fr fr, you guys keep the hype of their games alive and any good businessman should see the value of modders works in an instant

[neon storm]

Though their discord server is fucking dead lmao

[rustic comet]

because russian stalker mods have main communities based elsewhere

[tacit yew]

Yeah as a bodyguard to defend the GSC office, in the middle of the civil war

[rustic comet]

like the ap-pro.ru forum

rather than discord

[neon storm]

Fair fair

[halcyon sedge]

xd facts

[tacit yew]

So anomaly will reach 2.0 eventually?

[neon storm]

My expectations for that are kinda low

[rustic comet]

what would the point of that be

without years of further development

[rigid karma]

oh nice can't wait for the update!

[neon storm]

Not even any updates or anything

[rustic comet]

if 1.6 comes out complete and stable and devs wants to stop working on it because there's nothing worth to add, or improve anymore well then that's fine

[neon storm]

CS:GO weapons import to anomaly💀

[rigid karma]

Maybe someday soon we'll be able to play Anomaly together, since the multiplayer mod is being ironed out

[willow hawk]

I don't think Anomaly need more guns

it needs a compelling story, better characters and more diverse tasks with choices

[rustic comet]

i see why you were asking for provak

[neon storm]

As a joke, yeah

[rustic comet]

Imagine the freshness of having

1 ak74m, and not 5 variants, well done, with good animations, good model and textures

[neon storm]

"Guys look a new gun that has the same animation just like the other 29427573 guns that we have, such a cool mod!!!!!"

[rustic comet]

every time i open debug menu and see the ak part of the weapon section i feel dizzy

fucking phone

[willow hawk]

So much fucking this

AK12, AK12 2016, AK12 2012

[neon storm]

TAZ in a nutshell

[rigid karma]

I want my Bofors Gun

[light mauve]

Since when is there English voice acting for mercs

[willow hawk]

In GAMMA? Since the beginning

[light mauve]

What really

[neon storm]

Ayo GAMMA voice acting?!?!?!?!

[willow hawk]

no

it's using EFT voices

[neon storm]

Understandable

[light mauve]

Huh

[willow hawk]

Not that I couldn't voice act stuff but I have a remnant of a French accent

I could voice act ISG

Problem is, all ISG members would sound french kek

GAMMA ISG overhaul: they have a french accent and drop baguettes, croissant and wine

[rustic comet]

ak12 are more or less fine, that's bas tho, what's insane is that the same ak74 has 4 variants that are just palette changes of the same texture with one having darker mag one having lighter handguard, fffffffffffuck

[willow hawk]

If I reach 1000e of donations I will do it

[rustic comet]

encouraging people to hunt ISG

[willow hawk]

which will never happen so I'm good with this plan

[rigid karma]

Screw the AK12. Get an AA-12

heheheh

[neon storm]

Tbh why not just change the animation to the AK74M with the one from gunslinger imo

[willow hawk]

Because of how gunslinger works

it's not like Anomaly

[rustic comet]

different skeleton different engine encrypted assets

[neon storm]

Shiiiiiiiiit

[rustic comet]

if it was so easy don't you think devs already could have done it? lol

devs or someone else

[rigid karma]

"Grabs a M240 Bravo"

[vale lynx]

is this download speed normal?

[willow hawk]

depends on moddb servers 😦

I know people got everything installed in 20mins

[neon storm]

moddb servers are a 50/50

[vale lynx]

alright, thanks for the answer

how do i make the installer in the background again?

[slow ridge]

trying to increase fps by following the YAWM instructions and keep getting a shader compilation failure error when i start a new game

ive deleted shader cache, and launched from the anomaly folder to make a new one and also tried deleting user.ltx

[rigid karma]

where did you put the folders in the load order? Did you disable agresser?

[willow hawk]

make sure you positioned YAWM correctly + delete shader cache manually in appdata > launch anomaly from MO2

[tacit yew]

AK12 (2016) (bas), AK12 Monolith

[spiral kestrel]

can we remove the option of respawning immediatly after death in the last place we slept in ?

[willow hawk]

What? That's the Minecraft respawn just untick it

It's an optional for a reason ;)

[spare fiber]

No conflicts with attachments ?

[willow hawk]

if some attachments conflict, they will be removed

or renamed

[spare fiber]

I agree that it's designed to be played alone, a merge with bas for example will let you end up with:
5x saigas (2 from CW)
2xMP 133
3x SR2M (1 from CW)
3x APS (1 from CW)
4x 1911s and more if you count Korth as 1911 (3 from cw)
3x USP (2 from CW)
2x FN57
PMs, Sigs, Glocks will suffer from same deal and am only talking about pistol, shotgun, smg categories, not even about AR or AK platforms where this problem will multiply by a considerable amount, so unless the merge picks certain guns from both packs you will end up with stcop tier issue of number of variants per one gun, which a characteristic of BAS because we have two to three variants at most per gun and no where close to number of variants BAS does.

[rustic comet]

Also quality/design/feeling difference

[willow hawk]

Welp in GAMMA you repair what you find, but it will be confusing for sure like "which saiga should I use ?"

[rustic comet]

having cwwp guns as unique choice standardizes the quality

it's stupid to have all those guns that look and feel different but they're the same gun lol

not really the improved and polished experience y'all are aiming for

[willow hawk]

Indeed, I will cherry pick guns and heavily modify the stalkers gear to remove non wanted weapons

same for stashes file

and it's good to go

no traders bullshit 😉

BAS shines with Tacticool and lasers

so if there's a tacticool option it will be kept

otherwise CWWP will be the default

I know guns will have different look but I'm fine with that

[rustic comet]

i already have strokes when i find ak74 from bas and vanilla ak74 they're the exact same gun but with two different quality levels (in this case vanilla one is better) lol

imagine those two + cw ak74 with blue tape

you may say such is life in the zone guns come from different places

[lone maple]

Where do I click next?

[spare fiber]

CWWP models despite looking modern and new are nowhere near BAS models tacticoolness with all the attachments and stuff, so i would recommend using cwwp as a base for average normal stock guns, while basing the unique variants on BAS.

[rustic comet]

also

last but not least

the camo feature

another thing that badly mixes up with the rest imho

[wraith token]

update gamma data. then complete install

[lone maple]

I dont have to do anything in mo2?

[wraith token]

did you read the instructions

[lone maple]

yes

the instructions say launch MO2 then click next

theres no next button anywhere

[wraith token]

from what i can see in your screen cap, it looks find

fine*

[spare fiber]

Yeah good point, we already have some few leftover guns from CW that don't exist in HOPS and don't work with the camo feature, the only redeeming factor is that they have similar art style to HOPS assets so they blend in even tho you can't do camos on them.

[rustic comet]

imagine the confusion in the people not knowing why the camo feature doesn't work on ak 105 swamp thing of bas

[willow hawk]

Quit MO2 it's said

[willow hawk]

Exactly what I think also

[spare fiber]

I am already expecting the same deal happening with the cw stuff we have that don't work with camos, good thing that the few WF things added work with camo feature

[lone maple]

ayy whats up grok

I get this lol

[willow hawk]

Did you install MO2 yourself prior to GAMMA ?

[lone maple]

Yes but I uninstalled it

[willow hawk]

did you create portable.txt file ?

[lone maple]

yes

and theyre all in separate folders

[willow hawk]

What?

GAMMA RC1 should contain MO2

[lone maple]

it does

I mean its not inside anomly

[willow hawk]

the GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer is the GAMMA installer

Ok

[lone maple]

like the instructions said

[willow hawk]

then close the installer and Mo2

and delete ModOrganizer.ini

in GAMMA RC1 folder

Launch the installer, and click launch MO2

you should be welcomed with a screen asking which kind of MO2 instance you want etc

[lone maple]

I figured it out, I was using another groks installer not the grok inside of the folder

[willow hawk]

ok

[wraith token]

a 2nd grok installer?

[rustic comet]

the btc miner one

[lone maple]

For step 3 I think you should edit it and say,

3. Open the .Grok's Modpack Installer Folder (THATS ALREADY INSIDE THE FOLDER) . Follow instructions there: #📢announcements message. Double click G.A.M.M.A. Installer.exe.

Because you have that link

which allows me to just download it

IDK its early but it read to me like I needed to install a separate file

[willow hawk]

Move the archive to GAMMA RC1/Grok's Modpack Installer > Right click > Extract Here > Replace files. New installer with an option to force github downloads or not.

It's written just above the file

Anyways, with RC2 this will not be a problem

But I want to fix more bugs and improve gameplay before RC2

[lone maple]

Yes but why have these instructions in 2 different places

[willow hawk]

UPDATES

[lone maple]

include that in your install channel

Yeah right click hit edit ez

[willow hawk]

4000 characters limit

[lone maple]

You're nowhere near 4000 characters in that lol

fake news

[willow hawk]

[lone maple]

lol

[willow hawk]

3839 characters

people wouldn't understand where to download the thing if it's at the bottom of the message anyways

and technically, the old installer works
