Hi

I have Expedition and EfP installed

Should I do this too?

Or should I wait for Gamma to update to remove memory leak?

Or does Gamma replace one of the other two entirely?

[warped ginkgo]

what

[desert robin]

Trying to find where to edit the hunger and thirst rate. The current rate has made me really not want to play the game at all so i want to change it.. Does anyone know what mod adds/does this so i can try find where to edit it?

[timid edge]

Is there a console command to disable reshade?

[tidal meadow]

What is the point of Gamma vs Expedition and Escape from Pripyat?

Does the current version of Gamma still have a memory leak?

Does Gamma make Expedition and/or Escape from Pripyat obsolete?

[warped ginkgo]

Press 'HOME' BUTTON

And disable the efectos

[warped ginkgo]

Never tried efp

Expedition was only a modpack + reshade

gamma aims to balance progression

[tidal meadow]

Isn't this?

[warped ginkgo]

No

[tidal meadow]

'Balance' 'Progression'?

I want maximum realism, does this mod not do that?

[warped ginkgo]

Grok made changes to make progression more enjoyable and not ruined by finding top loot on first houe

[desert robin]

If you call realism having to eat every hour to not starve to death.. 🧂

[tidal meadow]

I start the game with all equipment and then run crafting and trade from there and expect the game to be fun on it's own.

[warped ginkgo]

I mean

[tidal meadow]

No

[warped ginkgo]

Read #│📚manual

And try gamma on its own

To seeif you like It or not

Also un #❗welcome

You have información

I recommend reading those channel

[tidal meadow]

I'm asking here so I don't have to install a dozen 30gb mod packs

Just asking what the final product plays like

[desert robin]

Like a video game.

[tidal meadow]

Most of these mod packs have 90% of the same major mods anyway

[scenic pulsar]

There is like a 5hour video in youtube

You can check that one

[timid edge]

@desert robin found the hunger stuff under UI folder in MO2. right clicked on that and hit open in explorer, did a cursory look at one of the script files and seen some stuff you might be able to edit. Not sure what disabling them will do.

[obtuse rune]

Page up also toggles reshade

[scenic pulsar]

notice that GAMMA Sleep Balance overwrites all those scripts, so you should be touching those instead

@desert robin

[timid edge]

been a bit since i used mo2. I forget what the colors signify.

[obtuse rune]

General gameplay loop, start game, make money / hunt stalkers for their loot, take said loot and repair it if possible, otherwise do enough tasks to get stashes to play lottery for repair tools to repair loot.
Searching for maximum "realism" is an effort in futility imo and it boils down to what aspects you wish to focus on

[scenic pulsar]

thanks for the tip about the colors, this is my first time using MO2, I didn't notice those, just found the sleep balance in the name and saw it had the same scripts lol

[obtuse rune]

You can check conflicting files by right clicking mod > information > conflicts tab. Or check the Filetree if you're curious as to what it adds

[scenic pulsar]

@desert robin I'm not sure you can change the food rate in those scripts though, they seem to be related to sleep and thirst only

[desert robin]

Yeah looks to be the case. Thanks anyway man

[scenic pulsar]

maybe in the "progression" tab ingame??

nah, I just checked, nothing about food there

[desert robin]

Seems like hunger is its whole own thing...

[timid edge]

i'm getting the impression that my graphics are blurry. Like there isn't a crispness to them. Is this just me?

[tidal meadow]

are you proper resolution for your monitor?

that does that if off

[timid edge]

yeah i thought that would be the case, but that is not it. i guess another example would be when trying to read the ui, some of it is too small to make out.

it's almost like individual elements are not rendered at my screen size. this is the impression i'm getting. i always thought the i in i'm could be lower case...

another issue i have is i'm unable to read the description of ammo type. say FMJ, HP, etc etc. When clicking detail of a weapon and looking at the component conditions, the numbers are indiscernible.

[timid edge]

i see Grok mention something about a gloss factor, i wonder if that has something to do with it.

[dark nymph]

is there a way to lower run speed?

[graceful iron]

grok's gotta go fast in mod config menu

[north turret]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gotta-go-also-slow

[graceful iron]

speed sliders for walking and sprinting

[timid edge]

no go on the gloss factor....

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

[timid edge]

so the lack of responses would indicate i'm the only one that cant read those numbers?

or ammo type descriptions in the detail menu

[desert robin]

try Blur in search

[delicate wharf]

what is your resolution set to? Low res is the only problem I have seen anyone report for text

[dark nymph]

lovely ty

[timid edge]

1920 1080, yeah, that's what it seems like those specific numbers and letters are, lower res than the rest. interestingly enough there is another descrip not to much bigger than those that i can see clearly. the ammo type descrip is tiny tiny tiny though. The condition numbers im more worried on. but nobody is acknowledging any issue along my line so i can only assume its me.

[delicate wharf]

you should post some screenshots

[timid edge]

sigh. i cant find them

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual message

[desert robin]

Is there a way to turn hunger and thirst off? Its just terrible because it incurs way too fast.

Makes me want to quit the game entirely.

[timid edge]

unbelievable. the printscreen button closes the window that i want to show

[graceful iron]

i think there is a mod you can disable to get rid of that system

[desert robin]

try f12 Whiskey

[graceful iron]

you are on fullscreen

go borderless

[timid edge]

the ingame details window

[graceful iron]

mo2-anomaly launcher-reset graphics settings-borderless-play-close game-mo2-dx11(or whatever dx you are using)launch

[graceful iron]

print screen does not close any window if you have it on windowed or borderless

at least it should not

you can still try f12 i guess

[graceful iron]

should put them in this folder

[lone bough]

Is there a reason the PN21KL nightvision doesn't turn on when I push the hotkey for Nightvision? I've rebound the hotkey to test that wasn't it.
It is full battery
I'm wearing a SEVA + Sunrise but I've also tried without them equipped.

[graceful iron]

hold n

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

pressing n cycles through brightness settings for the nvg

[timid edge]

@desert robin your best bet might be to disable those mods in mo2. make sure you down the line and uncheck all the ones you see colored.

it doesnt have to be every one of them. just dependencies.

@graceful iron go to your weapon, right click and select detail. in that window, you can clearly see the condition numbers of your gun components, and you can clearly see ammo type?

just to be clear on what im talking about

youre probably not on the same res as me....

ran anomaly without mods. the issues i'm having are not the cause of this mod pak.

[graceful pier]

If I wanted to disable Grok's health redux, does that require a new game?

[warped ginkgo]

no

[graceful pier]

Any others I need to disable in MO2 aside that?

[timid edge]

@desert robin looks like the hunger thirst sleep stuff is specific to Anomaly, not this mod pak

[timid edge]

@warped ginkgo does that make it so it's just a simple health bar instead of limbs tied to health tied to god why do flying dogs nibble my toe and send me to hell?

[warped ginkgo]

yeah, it returns to the classic 1 bar hp

[crisp ledge]

@timid edge it gets a lot better once you get some decent armor for what its worth

[timid edge]

@crisp ledge i worry that my lack of skill will prevent me from getting past the first road block. I'll push on though, thanks for letting me know i can't be nibbled to death with better armor 😄

[crisp ledge]

Lol, it might at first, if youre brand new, id suggest just using quicksaves and turning off campfire mode. Youll get the hang of it in no time

[timid edge]

right on. the last thing i want to do is start butchering what Grok had in mind. From what he described, it's what i'm looking for.

[tacit yew]

Im not new but im not dealing with that, already playing at max difficulty

[crisp ledge]

You can still get the full experience that way. Just might help you get yourself some momentum. And you can always turn it back on later.

[timid edge]

although i'm seeing a fair amount of complaints about the constant hunger being an issue.

[crisp ledge]

Lol, I enjoy the restriction.

I don't find it problematic honestly.

Once you have a few hours on a save, youll have plenty of food from drops.

[tacit yew]

I still needed a lot of time to gear up and progress.. With unlimited fast travel + quicksave everywhere anyway, if ur a survavilish rpger ok but I'm a fps boi

[timid edge]

yeah i imagined it wasnt for lack of quantity.

[crisp ledge]

@tacit yew Its a sandbox at the core, so you can make it what you want. I really enjoy the long journeys across the zone listening to the radio and the noises.

Either way, how often would you expect to eat in a daily period?

[timid edge]

add to that the randomness of the spawns and you have a relatively dynamic experience throughout

[crisp ledge]

Also, I believe the modpack takes into account how much you exert yourself. So if you sprint everywhere, you'll need more water and food.

Yeah exactly. Always something going on.

[timid edge]

given the scope of the zone, i can only imagine the bases you have situated across it.

@crisp ledge say. what resolution do you play on?

[crisp ledge]

At the beginning of the game I had one in each map, as I move north, I get less frequent with them.

1440p, why do you ask>?

[timid edge]

im having problems reading ammo type and component condition numbers.

[crisp ledge]

Hmm, screenshot?

[timid edge]

i can guess at them, theyre just not clear

i looked at a screen shot and it wouldnt really convey my issue because you would just zoom in.

[crisp ledge]

Hmmm

[timid edge]

on the picture which would clear it up

[crisp ledge]

Is the rest of the hud small?

[timid edge]

yeah, i guess you could say that.

[crisp ledge]

I guess You may not have a frame of reference if youve not played anomaly before

[hushed mesa]

Better this one or EfP?

[crisp ledge]

different

Im wondering if changing the hud fov will affect it?

[timid edge]

@hushed mesa this seems to be a build on progression being slower in regards to gear. among other things. cant say for sure, i dont know efp. there is a way to see the mods this uses.

@crisp ledge oh my god, it's probably that simple....

[obtuse rune]

For reference my hud fov is .65 and my resolution is 1920x1080

The text looks the same in the details page

[warped ginkgo]

you mean this tab?

[hushed mesa]

Ok, thanks mate!

[timid edge]

@insave those little letters on top of the ammo count, signifying ammo type, you see those clearly?

Ap, fmj, hp...

Its not the ammo count but size. In your second pic.

[obtuse rune]

Relatively clear, I could see how they're hard to make out though

Those are the icons, let me see if I can find a way to revert them to default for you

[timid edge]

Im checking the hud fov. Fingers crossed

[crisp ledge]

lmk!

[timid edge]

yeah, no go on any of those manipulated.

[obtuse rune]

Here's the default icons, dunno which you prefer

[timid edge]

@obtuse rune hey. i know it's not specific to this mod pak. i tried a clean anomaly and it's the same

[crisp ledge]

ohhh.

hmmm. Have you tried reinstalling the basegame?

[obtuse rune]

Ah, yeah it's probably just the font style used for the icons then. Especially if the ammo boxes look jaggy/blurry

[timid edge]

it's nothing too important, was just trying to see if there was anything i could do to make them clear, or even enlarge them.

the weirdest part is, if you take a screen shot, you can zoom in enough where the letters are clear.

[graceful iron]

sorry i didnt realize that was for me, i am on 1920x1080 and borderless

[timid edge]

which i guess isnt weird...

[obtuse rune]

The lettering is done with 1 pixel black border and 1 pixel white space

[graceful iron]

sounds like something to do with the screen or hud fov

[crisp ledge]

wait @timid edge does it look jank when you look at screenshots over others' inventories?

[timid edge]

checked those, Cat. wasnt it

[graceful iron]

oh

did you fail to get a screen shot?

does not allow you to or?

[timid edge]

unless f12 puts the screenshot elswhere.

@crisp ledge i dont understand the question

[graceful iron]

did you check this#│📚manual message

this is where you should be able to find screen shots

also make sure its taking screen shots

it should notify you top left

[timid edge]

yeah. thats where printscreen sends them. I hit f12 and nothing there.

[graceful iron]

and whats the problem with printscreen screen shots?

[crisp ledge]

Sorry, I mean like when you click on someone else's screenshot, do you see the same issue with the lettering?

Im wondering if its an issue with your monitor and things that are just small like that

also, you can take screenshots with Win+Shift+S

just drag a box around your whole screen

[timid edge]

looks like its taking the shots, just have to find them

[graceful iron]

or the part you need.

[crisp ledge]

after you drag the box, paste it in chat

[graceful iron]

you could use snipping tool yea

[crisp ledge]

thats a good way around a screenshot folder

[timid edge]

any button i push. except f12, just closes the detail window im trying to screenshot, its nuts!

[graceful iron]

even this?

[graceful iron]

sorry i didnt mean to ping you

[crisp ledge]

hahaha no worries ❤️

[timid edge]

found it. how do i send?

[crisp ledge]

win shift s shouldnt

paste it in the chat box

[graceful iron]

paste

ctrl+v

[graceful iron]

oh wait you found the folder for the f12?

just drag and drop

in here

[graceful iron]

@timid edge

there

is it just me or does that look totally normal...

[crisp ledge]

So its the text below the ammo?

[graceful iron]

a bit small but still readable

[crisp ledge]

like the one that signifies which type it is?

[graceful iron]

i think

[timid edge]

that doesnt really convey the issue. if you copy that and view it, you can zoom enough where those letters are clear. i think its simply too small for my screen, yet i thought that was subject to resolution.

[timid edge]

the hp, fmj, ap i cant read.

[crisp ledge]

Im leaning towards it just being too small to display on your monitor appropriately. That text is from the icons themselves, you can probably disable the icon mod in MO2 and install a different one

Yeah

[graceful iron]

i guess this is for comparison

[crisp ledge]

even if i blow it up on my 4k tv its still shit to read

its just a really small low res font thats bad to read i think lol

[graceful iron]

can you read everything else?

should all be in a read able size and font

[timid edge]

the numbers for weapon component conditions arent clear either, but those are colored.

[crisp ledge]

Hmmm, how big is your monitor?

[crisp ledge]

Those are more legible to me, but still small

[graceful iron]

@timid edge ?

[obtuse rune]

The fonts are only three pixels

[graceful iron]

wow thats microscopic

who thought that was a good idea

[timid edge]

see under replacement parts. those numbers are not clear, BUT, on the letters on top of the barrel i can see clearly. its nuts

[obtuse rune]

Yeah, I'm not sure how to change font size atm except for the ammo icons

Cause the ammo icons are just images

[timid edge]

9AS\PP

but none of you are having the same issues.

[obtuse rune]

I'm probably used to the small font

Do you have reshade on?

[timid edge]

unless you got your eyeballs directly on your screen, i cant see how you can make that out for what it is.

checked the reshade. checked gloom, gloss...

it's just the size of it all. lol.

i just put my eyeball to the screen, i'd say its specifically the resolution, or as you said, it is only 3 pixels

i appreciate the troubleshooting attention everyone!

[crisp ledge]

I think a lot of folk play on higher resolution, and that makes the game scale that 3 pixel font up a bit bigger. idk tho, sorry its not working out better tho 😦

[obtuse rune]

I'm pretty sure even 9AS\PP and other part names are baked into the icons, but the part condition is maybe game generated

[timid edge]

the Bolt slot in the inventory screen. I cant make out what those 2 white letters are suppose to be.

as another reference. 😄

anyway, enough i'm done worrying on it.

[graceful pier]

I've turned off Grok's health redux, but now there's no stamina bar. Is there a way to turn it back on without it?

Are there any other mods I have to turn off with Grok's health? The health bar is not moving down, there's no stamina bar UI, and the weight system is totally off (not indicating encumbrance, but my guy can't sprint for more than ten seconds without stopping).

[graceful iron]

and that is why you dont mess with the pack unless you find out what you really need to change to get things working correctly

[graceful pier]

Yeah, I guess I'll be playing with it on

Was worth a try though

[lyric wave]

Hey I've repeated step 6 multiple times and I still have red x on all the mods

deleted mod folder as well

[warped ginkgo]

did you disable the addosn in the image i showed you?

[graceful pier]

I'm sorry, I missed that. Thank you so much

Really appreciate it

[sturdy sierra]

is there a backpack retexture

[crisp ledge]

Not sure if one is included, but there a few out there. One by Morthland is really good

[sturdy sierra]

thanks, just the starting backpack looking a lil 2006ish

[crisp ledge]

Yeah its a bit rough i agree

[graceful iron]

step 6 then step 7

delete mods folder-update gamma data-complete gamma installation

keep (check archive integrity) ticked

in the installer

[modern fern]

Can I get the negative effects of hunger? I didn’t see a list of the accumulated effects. From what I’ve seen sleep reduces stamina regen, and thirst takes health

[desert robin]

So far ive found Thirst is
local drink_chk = 300 -- amount of in-game seconds where indicator value increase
Sleep is
local sleep_chk = 300 -- amount of in-game seconds where indicator value increase

Does anyone know what hunger is or how it works? I've seen pwr_chk but i think that might be stamina?

Unrelated but found this online. Interesting claims..

https://libredd.it/r/stalker/comments/pom6me/yet_another_desperate_victim_of_stutter_anomaly/

[desert robin]

Back on the eternal struggle to find the hunger/thirst depletion values, possible progress... Spent the whole day trying to find this. Assuming Hunger is 'Satiety' afterall.

[noble oar]

so silly me adds shards of monolith to my inventory, you cant drop them and I havent found a place to sell them, how do you get rid of them...?

[teal glen]

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same issue, I tried disabling free zoom addon but it didn't to disable it...

[dapper iron]

Sometimes theres some visual error like snow. What could it be?

[rocky cradle]

Sadly not, i just toggle zoom :s

[noble oar]

how do i drop shard of the monolith

[north turret]

@dapper iron Maybe you've messed with the specular gloss factor slider?

I don't know why but I believe it's better not to touch it.

At least I think it can mess up things from my experience.

[rocky cradle]

is this normal for anomaly? the CPU usage i mean

[noble oar]

how do you turn on the nvgs in the light/nvg combo?

N doesnt seem to work

[rocky cradle]

hold N

tap N to change brightness on the NVG

[late gull]

Seems about right if u have a new cpu, mine is also hovering around 10%

[rocky cradle]

aight

[north turret]

Never looked at my core load but the CPU usage in general of 13.6% like we see here is what I get as well. 13-20%. I don't know how it exactly works but guys here told me the X-Ray engine doesn't utilize all cores.

[rocky cradle]

yeah its single core

just making sure all is good

[willow hawk]

It's mono threaded

[west anvil]

i installed gamma yesterday and wanted to test some stuff using the debug menu, but turning it on is not possible (did it how it says to in #│🔧troubleshooting)

[willow hawk]

Get the GAMMA user.ltx and axr_options.ltx from GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack patches

[willow hawk]

You can with the launcher

[west anvil]

tried doing it, debug menu is ticked, still wont open

[willow hawk]

Use launcher in MO2 > tick debug > launch > F1 F2

Debug menu opens with F7 while in game (not in menu)

[west anvil]

works now (for some reason)

Thanks

[scenic pulsar]

I was reading the update guide and it says I can untick the check integrity...I didn't remember seeing that option so I opened the installer and noticed it's actually stretched. I tried disabling DPI scaling and screen optimizations but it doesn't change, anyone knows a fix??

or at least is there a file where I can manually change the "check integrity" option?

[brisk zinc]

Are you using the last installer?

[scenic pulsar]

I'm using the one in found in #old-how-to, under item 1

do in need to re download it after each update?

It has worked like this since I first downloaded it a few days ago

[brisk zinc]

This one?

[scenic pulsar]

yes, that one

[brisk zinc]

Follow the instructions, you need to update it

[scenic pulsar]

I applied the patches following the instructions there too

[brisk zinc]

Okay, that's good

So you should be on the last installer

[scenic pulsar]

did everything in here

overwriting the files and all, but it works like that....the game works perfect anyway, but the installer is stretched

[brisk zinc]

We need @willow hawk on this

[brisk zinc]

At least you can play, perfect

[willow hawk]

You need the new installer

[scenic pulsar]

anyone had any success editing weapon stats with the built in editior? or do i need to manually edit the files myself?

[willow hawk]

Weapons position ?

You need to edit them manually yes

[wind forum]

ahhh no, i just wanted to edit accuracy

[willow hawk]

You need to edit files manually

And you can do it in DLTX format

[wind forum]

right, got it :p

ahhh ok

i'll try that, thanks!

[willow hawk]

And move that into your own addon

In MO2

@willow hawk Hey, @desert robin is having a time trying to figure out how to disable or edit the hunger, thirst system, any tips on what can be done?

[desert robin]

All good he helped earlier

[timid edge]

now i want to know. 😄

[willow hawk]

Check GAMMA cooking overhaul

I don't get why people don't like to eat

[timid edge]

oh, i thought the hunger system was a part of anomaly.

[willow hawk]

It is

But anomaly is like 2 bag of nuts for an entire day

Which defeats the purpose of the different kind of food

[timid edge]

Thanks for the Mod Pak and everything, @willow hawk!

[north turret]

How's the artefact overhaul coming along? Any updates?

[willow hawk]

Not yet, I'm working on helmets progression system

This should be done today

Next week I can work on Artifacts

Then I'll release RC2 with both changes and a new load order

Bug fixing for 2 weeks then official release on moddb

[timid edge]

northeast of rookie village there is a truck stop. In my other plays on vanilla stalker there is usually a group of bandits there. None are there today. Does this dynamically change to be populated?

@willow hawk you're really all in on this, aren't you Grok.

[warped ginkgo]

In my case at least, i have a lot of food in my backpack but they are tomato/tuna cans, so i spent a lot of time in animations, gets a little boring haha

[willow hawk]

Just cook mutants meat

[warped ginkgo]

No

[willow hawk]

Or buy better food

[warped ginkgo]

[willow hawk]

Complains about eating shit food and loosing time > don't want to invest in good food > complains that money is not useful

[timid edge]

another question. are the anomalies that provide artefacts dynamic, or are they static and/or in the usual spots of vanilla stalker?

[willow hawk]

That's the trend I see about people complaining about the food system

[willow hawk]

Static

[timid edge]

Any new ones to look out for?

be neat if missions took me there.

[north turret]

Exciting news!

[timid edge]

Are points of interests dynamically populated?

[willow hawk]

Just play the game. It will

[willow hawk]

Yes

can you just untick them? If so, how are they called?

[wind forum]

#old-framerate-optimisation message

please do read the posts

you'll need a good understanding of the features to play as well

[lyric wave]

so i did clean install now the mods not showingup in mo2 here are the paths

[timid edge]

are you using the modorganizer provided in the gamma download?

question about missions. Do npc give missions outside of player level or capabilities?

[lyric wave]

Yes I am

should i move the mod directory to the one in the gamma folder?

[scenic pulsar]

is there any way to regenerate the mods folder from the downloads folder? I didn't know and I tried to update GAMMA to many times and got flagged as a bot by moddb, and now the MO2 list is broken, but I have the downloads folder...either that or wait 40mins...any ideas?

[timid edge]

Can you not install the mods again through the gamma installer?

[scenic pulsar]

no, I get lots of errors, I just posted this in bugs until I realized I was flagged as a bot

the mods in download folder are not numbered, so I guess the installer does something with those

I guess I'll wait until I can access moddb again and see if I can perform an update then

[timid edge]

The only thing i can think for you to do is go through the install instructions, make sure you follow to the T.

[willow hawk]

Yes

[lyric wave]

Like I said i did it

this would be my fourth time from a clean install

[willow hawk]

Nope

[soft leaf]

so whenever the helmetless outfits update comes, will it work with an existing save or will i have to start over

[willow hawk]

Cause the installer checks add-ons online to see if it's up to date

[scenic pulsar]

ok, thanks, I was doubting the list if disabled mods I got (some numbered ones were disabled and not replaced by anything), so I tried to update again

[willow hawk]

I could add something in the installer to only use local add-ons....

But that's - a pain - to code

Because I don't know what are the versions of local add-ons etc

[north turret]

Are mods 133 and 133 dissembly tweaks disabled on purpose? I have no 132 133 in the load order

[willow hawk]

To get the archive name

[scenic pulsar]

nah, just put a BIG BOLD SIGN in #old-how-to, under updating GAMMA

[willow hawk]

They are in disabled

Because they aren't needed anymore

This will be removed in RC2 load order ..

[scenic pulsar]

those disabled ones got me doubting and messing my install lol

[willow hawk]

I need to develop the Artifacts rework next week

[scenic pulsar]

if I have my download folder intact, it would be fine to do "update GAMMA installation"? or should I use "complete GAMMA installation"?

[north turret]

I followed the directions for YAWM but I keep getting a crash before main menu.
FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CInifile::r_string
[error]File : Xr_ini.cpp
[error]Line : 931
[error]Description : fatal error
[error]Arguments : Can't find variable sky_texture in [brightness_bright]
untick YAWM and the game is fine

[willow hawk]

If your MO2 install is fucked up, perform a complete install

[scenic pulsar]

ok, thanks

[willow hawk]

Where is YAWM located in MO2 ?

[ivory comet]

Hey guys sorry for silly questions, im on install step 9, On step 8 when i launched Gamma shortcut on desktop it didnt show me and error message, im not sure if this is the problem. the gamma shortcut takes me to vanilla stalker anomaly launcher with no mods

[north turret]

@willow hawk right before enhanced shaders and patch after cfvx

[willow hawk]

Cause your MO2 config is fucked

[willow hawk]

What are the conflicts of YAWM ?

[willow hawk]

Do you have a global MO2 instance?

[north turret]

@willow hawk most soundscape which YAWM descrip[tions says it can safely overwrite, but also conflicts with desmans horror overhaul

[ivory comet]

yes

[nocturne merlin]

i keep getting extra mods in the disabled section.

[willow hawk]

These are outdated add-ons most likely

[willow hawk]

Did you create a portable.txt file ?

Are you sure you launch MO2 from the GAMMA RC1 folder ?

[ivory comet]

I DIDNT oh shoot

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-amused-really-clapping-clapping-hands-gif-15245667

[north turret]

@willow hawk Soundscape, Desmans Horror, and NPC footsteps misery it conflicts with

[ivory comet]

but my MO2 is elsewhere because of fallout4, i should have another MO2 and its files placed in the gamma RC1 folder?

[willow hawk]

Try disabling them or ask #🔨modded-gamma-support

[willow hawk]

Hey guess what. GAMMA comes bundled with MO2 right ?

It must be for a reason don't you think ?

And global instances should never be used

Like never

MO2 weights 80Mo.

[ivory comet]

im sorry im big dumb QQ i already have vanilla anomaly without mods on MO2 already and I assumed if i didnt modify anything i could leave it alone

[willow hawk]

I don't see the problem of having multiple MO2 installs next to their associated game

[willow hawk]

Nope cause GAMMA changes MO2 heavily

It interacts directly with MO2 files

So it's easy for the user

[ivory comet]

i will add portable.txt to the correct file now

ok now correct folder and with portable.txt, but still the mod list is blank

are there other things i can check or should i reinstall

[willow hawk]

Cause you need to perform complete install again

Man is it too hard to just follow #old-how-to

Just restart the process with the folders you have already

So you don't have to redownload everything

The installer checks what you have in downloads folder vs moddb so don't worry, complete install won't redownload everything 👍

[ivory comet]

Im glad I read that becaus i was about to delete the entire thing XD

[willow hawk]

Yeah don't do that

Never remove downloads folder

If you dl too much Moddb flags you as a bot

And you are fucked for 1 hiur

[nocturne merlin]

yeah they seemed like the same versions as the ones already installed so i just deleted them ( - the warfare mods I added )

[willow hawk]

👍

[north turret]

@willow hawk Its the YAWM snowfall LTX file doing it. IDK what to do about it but the YAWM description does say that file in particular conflicts with the soundscape overhaul

[ivory comet]

thanks for the help and clarification Grok : ) I always play modded anomaly with your tweaks and mods, they are super

[warped ginkgo]

i answered you

[north turret]

@warped ginkgo I put the snowfall file IN the YAWM one...thought that was what the YAWM directions said to do.

SO thank you!

[hard sierra]

greetings, Im new to GAMMA, so I have read the Install section Very clearly (about 4 times or so). when I wanna start a new game, Game crashes. so return step 6 as written in the Install notes. All up to date. Ive looked for red crosses, only maids HD icons has a red cross, reinstall changes nothing. no addons are on the wrong position in Load order. did I miss something?

[warped ginkgo]

go to stalker\appdata\logs\xray_anothergerman.txt

and post it here

or in #old-bugs

[hard sierra]

allright, thx

here it is

[warped ginkgo]

#│🔧troubleshooting message

click that link

[willow hawk]

Windows fucked up the copy of Anomaly patches.

Go to GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches.

Copy the content of that folder to Anomaly and replace existing files

[hard sierra]

alright, thank you very much

it worked, thx again

[vital plover]

sorry man but I didnt check if somebody else put this question before: Is there a reason for the user to create the portable.txt file? when I installed I was like "why not put it in before hand". just some retarded question hahha I'm under the influence

[weary birch]

The game crashes when you try to start a conversation with Sakharov.

[nocturne merlin]

what's the proper graphics incantation to remove these weird water reflections. Hard to spot it in a still screenshot but very bizarre reflections going on when i move camera

[gusty path]

so what did i do wrong if cordon is empty

i mean sidorovich's fatass is here, but its a ghost town otherwise.
stalker network has less than 300 stalkers... thinking i broke something

[graceful iron]

i think zcp in mcm has been set to a lower default stalker count

not sure

you can check

and increase it if it seems too low

[gusty path]

right, but even wolf

gone

[graceful iron]

oh

wut

thats weird

[gusty path]

the guards, hip

[graceful iron]

yea

not even stalker count should affect those

[gusty path]

but i reloaded my save with zcp at 1 for stalker count and now theyre all here

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[graceful iron]

wut

how

magic

[gusty path]

oh x ray engine,

[graceful iron]

yes

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-gif-23140940

[graceful iron]

and mods...

[dapper iron]

It happens in my game too and I dont know how to fix it. If you did call me.

[nocturne merlin]

i doesn't occur at all under dx8, but that's just because there arn't really water reflections

[willow hawk]

Because I didn't know the trick when I did RC1 + it will be fixed later in RC2

And it's like 3 clicks

[willow hawk]

Don't tick ZCP 1.5

[nocturne merlin]

clear sky start is awful with this bug lol

[midnight shard]

What mod cause disappearing items from dead body in time when u opening its inventory for the first time?

Breaks immersion

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/perry-the-platipus-chaotic-shake-zoom-in-weird-gif-17237555

[willow hawk]

I don't have this issue

[graceful iron]

"muh immersion"

[willow hawk]

Several

How low is your Framerate to be able to see that

[graceful iron]

[midnight shard]

Stable 60

[willow hawk]

Weird. I don't see thta

[nocturne merlin]

are you using dvxk?

[tacit yew]

i see it, sometimes happens (but i don't think its annoying)

[graceful iron]

it breaks this person's "immersion" its a game breaking bug oh no

sorry for the ping forgot to remove it

but seriously if its not a serious bug or game breaking or its just a feature that you dont like stop complaining

[north turret]

why expert tools hard to find?

[graceful iron]

not hard

go north

oh wait...

[north turret]

why north scary

[graceful iron]

i get it ha ha funny

[north turret]

yes

[vital plover]

heres a proper question: why are there so many cat dudes that talk a lot here

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-umm-what-what-gif-14694719

[graceful iron]

cuz cats never stop mewing ?

[gusty path]

its the internet

[north turret]

fuck yes cats man

[graceful iron]

fuck you if you hate cats man

[gusty path]

cats have been the most popular thing besides porn on the internet since the internet was made

[graceful iron]

just joking btw

[graceful iron]

i mean does your opinion matter though?

[lyric wave]

finally got the mods to show up

but this is the only red x

[graceful iron]

its disabled

[lyric wave]

so all good

bet

[graceful iron]

its supposed to be like that

[lyric wave]

bet thanks

[graceful iron]

i was wondering what you meant by "port"

[willow hawk]

Dxvk ?

[willow hawk]

Something's wrong ?

[vital plover]

nah i just poked the cats

[willow hawk]

Well this isn't #╟❓general-offtopic

[queen mica]

is there any loot drop list i could take a look at in the files?

[willow hawk]

It's complicated

There's death_outfits.ltx but this is modified by other files.

There's npcs profiles for weapons

But this won't tell you anything

[queen mica]

i just wanna look at armor drop list if there is any but i've no idea where it is

[nocturne merlin]

converts dx11 to vulkan

i'm checking to see if removing the dvxk .dlls solves the issue

[queen mica]

i guess that's what i'm looking for, thanks

[willow hawk]

Ah. That's like only useful if you play on Linux I think

[nocturne merlin]

it can actually cause performance gains even on windows, but it's pretty hardware dependent.

[willow hawk]

This will just give you the visual model of a npc and what armor he can drop

Not gonna tell you much

[queen mica]

yeah, next step is to find spawn list for these npc lol

[willow hawk]

It's just random more or less

You look for a specific armor?

[queen mica]

still looking for nosorog haha

[willow hawk]

Just play in Pripyat / Generators etc

And loot stashes

In these maps

(marked ones)

[queen mica]

yesterday cleared every location north of bar and nothing

green ones?

[willow hawk]

North of bar... ?

[queen mica]

north from yantar

[willow hawk]

[queen mica]

like pripyat, gens, red forest, radar

[willow hawk]

Ah!

[nocturne merlin]

@dapper iron i'm going to assume you are using dvxk. DX11 without dvxk conversion fixes this issue for me

[willow hawk]

Yeah Radar is a good place, but the chance to get a Nosorog is like 10% after you killed one

It's marginally better than an exo

[nocturne merlin]

unchecking gamma UI is just for the game menu stuff, right?

[willow hawk]

White or green stashes, both are good

[willow hawk]

It's for a lot more

[queen mica]

alright, thanks

[willow hawk]

Inventory, everything

[nocturne merlin]

but i hate green

[willow hawk]

The whole UI

[willow hawk]

If you knew the amount of work to rework everything kek

Just edit the green texture of GAMMA UI

Cause it also changes every window from the game, displays ranks and faction icons, displays traders supply level etc

But if you don't like green just untick and enjoy the Misery UI

Or just replace the green textures of the UI

[nocturne merlin]

oh i'm noticing it not showing those things. I'll probs just replace the green textures if it bothers me, but otherwise I think i'll survive

one option i wish stalker games had was hardware cursor

since it seems like whenever you have games with custom cursors there is cursor lag which feels funky

[rich acorn]

How come this ecologist doesnt want my Cocoon artefact?

is it a bug?

[warped ginkgo]

Thats a mechanic

[willow hawk]

Yeah that's a mechanic

[rich acorn]

lol

excuse me..

only 5200 for a cocoon?

also their prices for mutant parts are pretty low, the only one worth selling them to is Butcher

Is there any way to make my UI opaque?

[willow hawk]

That's because of your Reshade

The UI is slightly transparent

But your Reshade is the problem

[rich acorn]

this is without reshade

i can still see " behind" my UI

[crisp ledge]

Is it possible to get RTGI to work without effecting the UI transparency? Like via tweaking the shader? or is that just a side-effect of RTGI?

[tidal meadow]

why is the MP7 the only SMG that fits in the pistol and binocular slots?

[desert robin]

How do you get basic tools?

dozens of hours in, no way ive found to get or make one

[crisp ledge]

Finding them in stashes or around the world randomly

Will only be in marked stashes

[desert robin]

Good to know

ty

[crisp ledge]

Ive found dozens now that I've already found my first set. The first one always seems to take forever. Look in Rostok/Yantar areas

[lapis silo]

Hey all, after update, Maids icons has a red cross, even though the zip is in the downloads folder

[crisp ledge]

its disabled, youre fine

[lapis silo]

I would like to use it though

[crisp ledge]

its currently not in use by gamma, so it wont work

Something to do with "old" ammo types not having proper textures.

[lapis silo]

thank you though

[crisp ledge]

The textures are still applied in game, just not that mod from what I can tell.

[lapis silo]

Haven tried after update, but will check

[crisp ledge]

well try it out then lol

[rich acorn]

anyone knows how can I go inside there without dying in 10 seconds? ( i think its the heat or something like that)

[lapis silo]

Buy a SEVA suit lol

Heat anomalies cannot really be traversed without high-end protection

so best avoid them until you got it

thats the one in front of jupiter plant right?

[rich acorn]

ah heat

[lapis silo]

yees

it hurts alot

[rich acorn]

which is the icon for heat?

[lapis silo]

the flame

[rich acorn]

bottom one

i see

so only a SEVA would allow me to go there?

[lapis silo]

pretty much

[rich acorn]

I have a diamond SEVA at main base but I need to fix it first

Ill go do that and then go start collecting some

[lapis silo]

some other suits give minor burn protection as well, but you will still live for maybe 20-30s tops

good luck

[graceful iron]

you can basically hold it with one hand (in-game, nore sure about rl)

[rich acorn]

Especially the "green bigger icon" stashes, those have 100% chance for a toolbox/gun/medical kit. If you are rich you can buy stash locations for 6500 roubles from Loners Boss ..forgot his name...maybe Sidorovich? Or you can do quests or loot dead stalker, or read their PDA to find stashes

[desert robin]

Any way to retain Graphics and all other settings, including any MCM and gameplay settings etc when doing an update of Gamma?

[dapper iron]

Its new for me this dvxk. First time i hear of it. How do you turn off? Im in directx 11

[nocturne merlin]

if this is first time you're hearing of it then that's not the issue. You have to do a whole thing to get dvxk working so that's not your issue

[graceful iron]

south stashes (anything south from army warehouses basically)

[rich acorn]

how your FPS with 2x warzone?

compared to default?

[nocturne merlin]

i'm not noticing much difference. I changed it mid gameplay

[dapper iron]

oh... but the rflect of my water its the same as yours. when you move the camera you move the hole reflect of the lake with you

[nocturne merlin]

well it moves the reflection in a way that doesn't make sense.

[graceful iron]

stalker games never had good reflections or any advanced graphics settings

some reshades almost get stuff like that right but you shouldnt expect perfection

[rich acorn]

You probably need to wait about 24 hours to see any changes in the spawns

Did u sleep ingame? has some time passed?

[nocturne merlin]

probably no 24hour's worth

[timid edge]

Seen a stalker roasting a piece of meat on a stick over a fire. Can i do that? If not, would be a welcome addition.

[tidal meadow]

Yes, but why aren't the other SMGs and sawn off/stockless shotguns able to do the same?

No reason a PP-2000 or TOZ-66 can't do the same

[crisp ledge]

Cause theyre big and have a lot of recoil. Wouldnt be able to realistically one hand one. I think one of the Skorpians can be held in one hand also tho

[tidal meadow]

???

You can literally hold them in one hand

Is there are way to activate the laser attachments?

Or did this mod remove them but leave them attached to the guns

ruining what would otherwise be good guns

also why is N not activating my nightvision even though that's the key it's bound to?

[warped ginkgo]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[tidal meadow]

oh that did it

but why does ] give the text 'animations are disabled', but yet eating and drinking still run animations

[summer sandal]

how do you reset the keybinds back to gamma specifications? i made my usual control scheme until i realized that the controls were fine as it was so i hit reset, now it's just vanilla anomaly control setup

[warped ginkgo]

Because item usage animations are the vanilla camera effects

[tidal meadow]

?
Pressing ] works in Expedition and EfP

what is special about this

[warped ginkgo]

If you want to disable the addons animation you must go ti fdda settings in MCM and disable them

[tidal meadow]

so it uses a whole seperate system for the same water bottle drink effect?

[warped ginkgo]

Never played efp or latest expedition

[shell yacht]

installer doesnt work on linux becouse its written in powershell

[obtuse rune]

Go to folder for the user.ltx: .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata

[summer sandal]

thanks

what would i need to o next?

[nocturne merlin]

what does it mean. does beard hate me

[timid edge]

having a heck of a time finding a stash on the map. is there an easier way to find it?

[desert robin]

Guessing user.ltx? Not sure about MCM stuff though..

[timid edge]

is there a mod circumventing the night brightness setting?

[graceful iron]

you cant find stashes unless they are marked on the map. doing quests and looting dead bodies or searching through pdas with stash locations are the only ways of getting items in a stash. you cant go to stashes you know of in certain spots and find loot in them(though zcp seems to add minimal items to random stashes sometimes like 10 rounds of 9m or something similar)

[timid edge]

i've got the coordinates, just cant find it on the map.

[rich acorn]

I think its because of that Warfare Alife overhaul addon, It messes up Beard , check the optional files when ou install it

[rich acorn]

Pay Sidorovich 6500 and he will reveal a stash -if u are rich you can get easy stashes, Mission rewards stash locations sometimes. Checking the body of a dead stalker or the Pda from the dead stalker (right click and view on them and then click the text, somestimes has stash locations)

always ask stalker if they have any mission, sometimes they jsut want 4-5 bread or some medicine let say, go ahead and buy it for them and you get reputation and a chance for a stash

[timid edge]

[graceful iron]

if you have enough money you can pay sid or the clear sky trader spore to give you locations of stashes

6500 for a stash location

[timid edge]

lol. i was awarded a stash. I cant find it on the map. It's too small.

[rich acorn]

show me the map whiskey maybe i know it

[tidal meadow]

how do you disable the 'only save in faction bases' thing? I know I didn't click the campfire button so it must be one of the mods

[timid edge]

I think faction relations is borked. unless the identity display is wrong, or just showing what clothing and not the actual faction the npc is.

[graceful iron]

zoom in a bit and keep looking but it might be somewhere too dangerous and you might just want to skip it for now

[graceful iron]

mcm

yet another campfire save mod

you dont have to disable the mod just disable the in-game mcm option

[tidal meadow]

which option?

none of the options say 'turn off mod'

[graceful iron]

mod config menu

enable campfire saving

just disable that

[tidal meadow]

that turns the mod off and I can save anywhere?

[graceful iron]

yes

[tidal meadow]

How do I disable 'not tired enough to sleep' nonsense?

[crisp ledge]

Anyone else having huge FPS drops with the newest update?

I used to get 200+ with pretty much everything maxed out, now with settings at like mid-high, I struggle to maintain 60. ive changed nothing

[cedar raptor]

just take a sleeping pill

[graceful iron]

there is 2 mods i think that you need to disable

in mo2

[brisk zinc]

Disable 104-Immersive sleep, 105-Immersive sleep fdda patch and GAMMA Sleep Balance

[proven thorn]

Can NPC weapons jam?

[graceful iron]

they jam all the time

yes

[mellow canopy]

Hi guys, question about the last update regarding the helmets. Is it still possible to cheese it by repairing via a technician?

[wind forum]

how do i even get on the roof

[timid edge]

should i just sell weapon parts that are below 60%?

[graceful iron]

you can still repair them with a part repair kit

[tender mantle]

If the part is not hecka rare ye

[graceful iron]

its expensive but if you really want that part you can get it from technicians at trader level 2 i think

[warped ginkgo]

parkour

[graceful iron]

by giving them advanced tool kit

[wind forum]

yeah turns out i missed a ladder :p

[timid edge]

are the trader levels tied to ability to sell things? or just purchases?

[graceful iron]

just the amount of things they have for sale

[timid edge]

manual mentions worrying on parts 60% and above, i'm assuming below that would be a waste of "repair kits."

[graceful iron]

normal traders increase level when you get higher goodwill with their faction (by doing quests for them) technicians you need to give tool kits(basic-advanced-expert) but those tool kits are rare and very important to you so try to keep a full set of them on you or in a stash

[graceful iron]

unless you cant find another one with better condition, yes

[timid edge]

they sell for dirt prices, i might as well just keep them. what about guns? i tweaked the settings to let me sell anything above 1% but nobody wants them.

[tidal meadow]

For editing weapons/armor custom files, which addon do I have to screw with?

[graceful iron]

gamma economy

[crisp ledge]

Anyone know why my flashlight is causing this weird effect when I use it outside? Its with shaders on and off

[graceful iron]

you have to disable that if you want to buy or sell guns

condition controls in what condition they will actually buy the guns at

just remember that the condition will also take into account each part's condition

[timid edge]

@crisp ledge i see nothing abnormal.

[crisp ledge]

The circle of clarity in the center of the screen is the flashlight "lighting" the area

let me get a better pic

[timid edge]

no i see it

cant even speculate what is doing that.

@graceful iron all the weapons i loot from baddies are in red condition so i just field strip. Since no sale on guns i might as well break the guns down.

[graceful iron]

use a multitool to disassemble them if you dont need them(guns and armor)

[crisp ledge]

tried deleting shader cache, no dice. Sigh. Im over it. Maybe ill get it figured out another time lol.

[graceful iron]

you get useful parts for repairing other guns and armor or crafting

[graceful iron]

i think thats a lighting setting in the game graphics options doing that

test them and see if anything changes it

[crisp ledge]

hmmm okay thats possible, i was messing with mods lol

Where is the Gamma Reshade ini located? I unticked all my shaders and when I closed it saved the changes and idr what was on

[obtuse rune]

Should be in bin

Unless you want the default one

[crisp ledge]

Nice, changing Sun Rays to Volumetric fixed it. Thank you my man!

[crisp ledge]

Yeah i need the default one lol

[obtuse rune]

Look under .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin

[crisp ledge]

There it is! Thank you Insave 🙂

[graceful iron]

you can notice weird lighting stuff happening at longer distances , they seem to always change with some of the advanced graphics options so i guessed it could have been one of them

np

[timid edge]

what are people's opinions on the Helicopters? And what are people's opinion on what to do with enemy that surrender, specifically bandit?

[tidal meadow]

🚅

[obtuse rune]

Surrenderers deserve death 99% of the time

Because often they say f-u and hit you and run off

• Monolith deserve death 100% of the time

Optional mod

Not save safe

[wind forum]

i don't think there's much of a point to let someone go because they are enemies, and chances are you'll get stabbed by them as they make a run.

[graceful iron]

helicopters just add more action if you play on lower difficulties or just think end game is too easy and dont mind hiding from them early game, most surrendering stalkers have a decent chance to get up, punch you in the face stunning you for a good 5 seconds and pull out a gun(mostly shotguns for bandits) and blast your face

monolith will almost always drop a live grenade while injured if you get close to them

[timid edge]

thanks! now what do i do about neutral relations murdering me?

[graceful iron]

? you mean neutral factions shooting at you?

you either angered them by shooting one of their people or even killing some, or you are disguised as a faction enemy to theirs

[wind forum]

yeah friendly fire happens

[wind forum]

oh and typically if you're encountering those in a base, they'll just run away, come back with another gun, and shoot you again

[graceful iron]

there is a friendly fire protection so companions cant hurt you by shooting at something and hitting you but thats it

[wind forum]

wait where's that?

i'm fairly sure i was hit by my companion a few times lol

[timid edge]

clear sky were attacking unprovoked, didn't even meet them yet. you would assume the relations tab would show their ill will or not.

don't crouch and eat....

[wind forum]

what faction are you?

[graceful iron]

you need a new save for mags

and you cant remove it after you start a save with it

thats what not save safe means

[graceful iron]

what faction are you? and what faction is the outfit you are wearing from?

[graceful iron]

its in gamma i am pretty sure

[wind forum]

my companion hates me then

[graceful iron]

not sure which mod exactly does it though

[wind forum]

understandable because i make him carry a lot of shit lmao

[graceful iron]

are you sure it was not someone else doing damage to you?

[wind forum]

nope, there was only a zombie

unarmed

[graceful iron]

they can shoot you and you will get the blood in your screen but you wont take damage

unless i was so lucky multiple times they didnt do damage to me

highly unlikely

[wind forum]

i'm not sure

no wait

i definitely took damage

[graceful iron]

did you disable anything other than the economy ?

[wind forum]

yeah i disable a ton of stuff, but not many that are related to companions

i only disabled tough companions and npcs

[graceful iron]

it could be implemented into a mod

yes

thats why

its one of those

tough companions i think does that

why would you disable those though?

[wind forum]

make it hardcore :p

i feel it'd be more like vanilla

[graceful iron]

you do realize some companions are important for quests? if hip dies or any similar companion you will have to load a save

its not intended for them to be so easy to kill in vanilla

[wind forum]

yeah pretty much

hmm i guess i should enable that for essential npcs then

[graceful iron]

a companion can still die from a dog really easy if you dont help them(rookie-pro ranks) but higher ranks means better gear and aim

in gamma

[wind forum]

yeah hence my stupid companion managed to shoot me even though i wasn't right in front of him lol

and took 5 shots to shoot a zombie that was 3m away from him

[graceful iron]

big facepalm moment

though i am not sure if you can enable the mods mid run you could try

hopefully it does not crash

[wind forum]

says does not require new save

[graceful iron]

okay

[summer sandal]

so to answer my own question, i also found out to run the game on DX8 you have to delete the user.ltx to get it to run, but it also resets your keybinds, (i reinstalled the game and farted around a few times and figured this out), if you want to keep the default gamma keybinds but play on DX8, first go to user.ltx, highlight all the keybinds copy or cut (it doesn't matter) and open notepad, paste the keybinds on there and save as keybinds, next delete the user.ltx, start the game, quit, then go to the new generated user.ltx file highlight all the keybinds in that folder, delete them, then go to keybinds folder you saved and copy them and paste them into the new folder where the keybinds were, that way you can play the game on Dx8 and still have the keybinds

What mods can I disable without crashing the game?

It turns out I kind of hate the whole no-fun-allowed gamma style but like all the features

Disabling all the 'gamma' mods crashes thegame apparently

What can I disable safely

[desert robin]

Any tips for melee? Are axes any good? Are there machetes? Do melee 1h-kill? Whats the best knife? Just unsure what the viability of Melee is. Sometimes works ok for zombies and tushkanov things but all else seems to suck

[graceful iron]

"no fun allowed" seems to be fun for me and many others but if you really hate gamma but like the content mods just go play EFP

[delicate wharf]

people say the axe is really good but at lvl 1 str on a brand new char it didn't feel great. I assume with a couple levels in str its insane though as even a knife destroys with max str

[tidal meadow]

EFP is missing a ton of features

[graceful iron]

you could still disable the gamma economy

you can buy and sell guns and outfits without that

not sure what else

[tidal meadow]

The whole section or just one box?

[graceful iron]

no i think its only 2 mods

[graceful iron]

they are releasing 3.0 apparently

if thats what you mean

by "features"

[tidal meadow]

it's not out yet

[graceful iron]

should be in about 2:20 hours if the counter is to be trusted

oh nvm

i guess its tomorrow

not today

US time or something

[graceful iron]

is a npc supposed to be able to punch my head off in one hit? even with a spartan helmet?

it went from full head to damaged and i died in one punch

on invictus

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-crying-michael-scott-sad-upset-gif-9816214

oh and btw game crashed right after i tried to load a save after the death(i have extra lives from life granter)

i cant find the taking damage part in the log?

[frail panther]

Is it really that big of a deal where they need a timer for a mod list? lol

[supple wasp]

try install again manytime but i keep missing this mod
Is this a priority mod for GAMMA?

[graceful iron]

its supposed to be disabled

your mod list is fine

[graceful iron]

.

[supple wasp]

thank

[graceful iron]

mags redux

wait let me get the full name

in optional

in mo2

not in-game

yes

[supple wasp]

i keep getting crash when i start of as an merc

[graceful iron]

only as a merc?

[supple wasp]

didn't test other yet
but my friend start as loner just fine

[graceful iron]

post the crash log in here or #old-bugs

it should be in the anomaly1.5.1.2-appdata-logs

and try to start any other faction

most likely will also crash but just to make sure

[supple wasp]

uhmm, i'm dumb so could you tell me which one is the crash log file

[graceful iron]

the text file

just drag and drop here

[warped ginkgo]

no, i have the same X but it runs fine

[graceful iron]

that mod has been removed but not deleted its supposed to have the red cross on it for now just leave it.

[graceful iron]

we will have to wait for grok to wake up i guess to take a look at this. mean while you could check that you have installed correctly

[supple wasp]

tks

[graceful iron]

you did download the latest installer RC2 v3 that you can find in announcements?

and follow all the install steps correctly ?

close the game. open mo2-select anomaly launcher-open-tick reset graphics settings- change to your screen's resolution and change to borderless-play-close the game-mo2-dx11-open

[supple wasp]

yes

[graceful iron]

you should be able to share screen when the game is in borderless or windowed but fullscreen seems to have issues

[graceful iron]

also to do a clean install all you have to do is delete a folder called mods and then in the installer click update gamma data-complete gamma installation

[north turret]

what the hell is minecraft respawn

[graceful iron]

nope it will make sure your mods are installed correctly

but you will have to set any options again like graphics but thats it

click play

the game should launch

did you open this through mo2?

in desktop

[fading rose]

https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases With that dx8 dll u can run all reshades on dx8? im gonna try

[graceful iron]

?

okay that should be fine to i guess

weird that the anomaly launcher does not seem to detect that its been modded

yea thats vanilla

close this

open this icon in the desktop

wut

how do you open the pack then?

[quartz agate]

hey there. if gamma ups the difficulty of the game, what are the recommended game settings? TY

[graceful iron]

this should be created automatically when installing

did you delete it?

[supple wasp]

don't know man
like it on the mod pack it self

[graceful iron]

you can search what it does, idk either

you dont need to

it creates a shortcut itself

and calls it gamma

but you can still open the pack?

and it works fine?

open the mo2 and screen shot the mod list

see the list to the right?

top right

select anomaly launcher there

yes select the top one(anomaly launcher)

and press open

[graceful iron]

should open something similar to this

with red-orange text at the bottom

that means you just got the right anomaly launcher. now you can change your graphics settings to borderless and set the right resolution of your screen

and then click play

should be able to stream it

did that work?

[queen mica]

what is the mod for different mags for guns? i've seen in on screenshots but i don't have it sadly

[fading rose]

magazines redux

or "Mags redux"

[quartz agate]

Hi, what is limiting frames to 60?

[warped ginkgo]

check in options

if the fps aren't locked to 60

[quartz agate]

TY, it was rivatuner, actually.

[midnight shard]

If i dont like and dont wanna to see new backpacks icons from Cr3pis addon, how to return the old ones? Other icons are very good tho

[wraith token]

Updated gamma earlier today. Now I'm seeing overall lower fps. I didn't change anything graphically. Anyone else notice anything?

[midnight shard]

I have even more FPS after the update. Even with SSR and NVG mods (turned off em anyway)

Updated couple hours ago

[quartz agate]

@midnight shard If I try disabling the 2 SSR addons, and then manually deleting the shader cache, I'm getting ctd at launch with an error message about shader compilation failing.

When I look at the log, the last line is about not finding the source SSR.h

[willow hawk]

Try Maid's icons for backpacks ?

[willow hawk]

You need to reinstall beef NVG

Without SSR patch

[quartz agate]

TY

[ivory sage]

So I removed the ammo from hud, I believe I have fixed the health window to only show if I am damaged, but is there a way to disable PDA messages from showing on the hud but still get the ping so I can check the PDA manually on the messages tab if I choose?

[north turret]

don't use SSR in the shaders

it looks awful

[willow hawk]

There's an Addon to remove pda messages

Just Google anomaly moddb remove pda messages

[oblique onyx]

Best way to increase carry weight?

[willow hawk]

Level up strength

[oblique onyx]

oh

well

Is there a level limit to the skills?

[delicate wharf]

15

[weary birch]
